Zhang Li put down the Chinese piece in his hand, held a half-burned cigarette in his hand, and listened to the narration of the adjutant next to him.

"Sir, that's all we have to do at the moment, and the Northern Expedition Marshal has also lost a lot of light this time, and our territory has expanded a lot.

But rest assured, the brothers will do their duty faithfully in all the affairs assigned to them by the Governor. ”

The adjutant made a final summary of the report.

Hearing this, Zhang Li waved his hand helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh while lying on the chair.

"Let's go down, let the brothers work more recently, and the peak will not treat them badly."

For this, Zhang Li is still very confident, Dashuai may not be very good in other places, but he is indeed quite experienced in making money.

It is not a problem to keep the brethren well fed and clothed.

Now although Yan Dashuai has hung the blue sky and white sun flag on the surface, it is clear to these top bosses that this is nothing more than a superficial article. When it comes to real interests, everyone still grabs how they rob.

This is like the eighteen-way princes of the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Benchu was known as the leader of the eighteen-way princes, in fact, everyone still plays their own games, but on the surface they follow together to promote a talker.

And with the Second Northern Expedition, there were a lot of people who ate meat together, and their Yan Dashuai ate a big piece of fat meat in it.

The more you eat, the more people below will naturally have to work.

"Sir, but there's one more thing ....."

"What?"

Hearing that the adjutant still had something to do, Zhang Li was not surprised, he was regarded as a new official with three fires, although he had been in office for a long time, but things never stopped.

"The contradiction between Outer Mongolia and the Chabei Ximeng, there seems to be some action on the Outer Mongolian side recently, followed by the Chahar Ranch side to be handed over this year.... There has been no news yet. ”

As he spoke, the adjutant lowered his head and did not say more.

And Zhang Li, who heard the news, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

The most troublesome thing, and the one he urgently needs to deal with, is still clear.

"Outer Mongolia has always coveted the northern Chabei region, haven't the grassland departments been fighting with them back and forth before? This matter will be left to the grassland ministries to solve on their own.

Now that the commander has just gained territory, many local areas are still unstable, and not many troops can be mobilized for the time being.

As for the surrender of the matter..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Li was stunned.

But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a soldier stepped forward quickly, and after saluting, he took a few steps forward and whispered a few words after receiving Zhang Li's signal.

"Let him in."

Hearing the reply, the soldier quickly withdrew, and in a few moments the messenger from earlier walked in.

"I've seen the sir!"

"Say, it's an emergency on the prairie?" Zhang Li directly waved his hand to interrupt the other party's etiquette and motioned for the other party to speak directly.

"Yes, sir, I just got a steppe emergency report that something is important.....

The messenger immediately recounted the information he had obtained.

After listening to this, there was a silence in the study, until the cigarette burned out and almost burned it, which brought him back to his senses.

"Sir, although this Zhao Ming was sent over there, he has more or less communicated with you, and Chief Song has a good relationship with you. If this is to die with us....."

The adjutant's words also reminded Zhang Li.

"Yes! I didn't expect the situation in the grassland to be so grim now, and the field director sent down by the dignified authorities was attacked in broad daylight, what a boldness! ”

Zhang Li re-lit a cigarette, his face was a little cloudy, and the smoke was so thick that people didn't know what he was thinking.

"That.... Sir, should we send someone over and check? The adjutant reminded again.

"Check? What to check? ”

Zhang Li chuckled and asked, shook his head and sighed,

"I can't check it, and I can't check it! The people of the steppe are very united, there is no point in checking one individually, and this situation is by no means formed overnight.

You have also seen the appointment and debriefing of the field manager in the past five years, how many of them can die well? ”

Zhang Li's words made the adjutant a little speechless.

Indeed, in the past five years, except for the previous director who is still alive, the rest have either resigned voluntarily before the end of their appointment and dismissal, and the rest have basically encountered accidents.

It can be seen how disobedient this group of people on the grassland is.

"Sir.... It's not a way to go on like this.... It's not easy for Chief Song to explain it....."

The adjutant was a little embarrassed, but he knew that the relationship between Chief Song and his own chief official was very good, although the marshal who followed him was different, but the private friendship between the two was really good.

Zhang Li shook off the cigarette ash, looking very slow and methodical, not in a hurry at all.

"We don't have to care about anything, Lao Song has specially instructed me to be optimistic about this Zhao Ming, listening to Lao Song's tone, he should be very optimistic about this Zhao Ming~"

Hearing this, the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the self-righteous official was determined to protect this Zhao Ming in the face of Chief Song.

Now that Feng Dashuai and his own Yan Dashuai are in the honeymoon period, there are some things that should not be overdone.

It's just that Zhang Li's next sentence made the adjutant a little stunned.

"Since you are so optimistic, you can't manage it. If he survives, it means that he is indeed very capable.

If I can live for half a year, I will be able to apply to Dashuai for more manpower, and if I can last for a year, I will be able to comb the prairie well.

One year, as long as this Zhao Ming can hold on for a year, not to mention a year, half a year is enough.

In just half a year, I will be able to free up my hands.

But if he died, it would be just right, and there would be an excuse. If you propose to the marshal to use great efforts to comb the prairie, the marshal will agree, won't he? ”

Zhang Li's words made the adjutant shudder.

Is this the choice of interests in officialdom?

I was a little surprised, but the adjutant was very much in agreement with the decision made by the head officer.

Combing the prairie, it's not because there is really not enough manpower, it's just that the marshal needs to prioritize.

There are still many rebel forces in the newly occupied territory, which need to be suppressed and cleaned up by manpower, and things on the grassland can naturally be delayed and put down.

But if Zhao Ming is dead or alive, it will be beneficial to them and harmless.

Alive, it means that the situation has not eroded to a very complete state, and if he is dead, there is just an excuse, and the marshal can also loosen his mouth, just to give the marshal a determination to comb the grassland.

"Sir, the grassland ..... this year's handing over task"

"Don't rush! Ignore! In spite of! Zhang Li said lightly.

Hearing this, the adjutant suddenly understood.

In fact, he won't take the initiative to ask for this year's handover task, after all, Zhao Ming's task is to live at the moment, and then he wants to force the other party to hand over horses and livestock, which is a bit difficult for a strong man.
