After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, everyone present was shocked and thought that Zhao Junchen's request was too much.
He Zhang actually thought seriously for a moment, considering various possibilities in detail, and then shook his head with a serious expression: "Ten days is really too short, it is absolutely impossible! In such a short time, there must be many soldiers who have not arrived at Huahua.
Ma Chi Camp doesn’t even have the right personnel, so how can we fully integrate the army? What’s more, it’s really child’s play to develop a strong army in such a short period of time!”
After He Zhang finished speaking, Zheng Jiadong also echoed: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, ten days is too little! No matter how good General He is at commanding troops, he will never be able to do it! Like the Gansu Army
The town is far away from Huamachi Camp. Perhaps it was only in the past two days that we received the seven official documents from the Governor's Office. It will be at least ten days before the elite soldiers from Gansu Military Town arrive at Huamachi Camp to join the new army of soldiers!
The follow-up troops from Guyuan, Yulin, and Ningxia will not be added much earlier... The first batch of troops from the second town of Yulin and Ningxia joined the new army so quickly, just because the two guarding generals had already arrived in Zhao
Your Excellency has made sufficient preparations before officially announcing the formation of a new army of soldiers, but the subsequent recruitment of troops is not that simple!"
Then, Zhou Bo also said: "Mr. Zhao, it is only ten days, it is really difficult for someone to do it! Not to mention the running-in of the new army, there are many things, but as the old general He and Zheng Xuezheng said, it is only for the new army to fight.
The follow-up recruitment of troops will take a lot of time. Internal deliberations, arguments, and coordination within each town, as well as the deployment, gathering, and traveling of troops are all time-consuming. In just ten days, the strength of the new warrior army was not uniform.
Even if the troops from all over the country rush to Huamachi Camp before the time limit, General He will have too little training time! In such a short time, even if General He has magical methods, he may not be able to run in the new army!
"
Obviously, in the eyes of Zheng Jiadong and Zhou Bo, Zhao Junchen made such a harsh request to deliberately make things difficult for He Zhang in revenge for He Zhang raising sensitive issues with Zhao Junchen in public before. Therefore, Zheng Jiadong and Zhou Bo quickly expressed their attitudes.
Why does Zhang support me?
After hearing everyone's rebuttals and doubts, Zhao Junchen did not feel any shame.
In fact, although Zhao Junchen is dissatisfied with some of He Zhang's attitude and performance, he still needs to focus on the overall situation and has no intention of making things difficult for He Zhang. Zhao Junchen's statement naturally has Zhao Junchen's considerations.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen still did not change his mind and just said slowly: "I naturally know that in just ten days, the new soldiers of the new army will not be in full order, and there must be many troops who cannot reach Huamachi Camp.
But my attitude will still not change! My requirement is that no matter how many troops the new army has, whether the soldiers are uniform, or how many difficulties it faces, it must form combat strength within ten days! Even if it is ten days
Days later, most of the troops are still on the road, and the new army of warriors only has 10,000 troops. These 10,000 troops must be ready to be sent to the battlefield at any time! How many troops there are, how many armies are running!"
At this point, Zhao Junchen and He Zhang looked at each other, their expressions became more and more serious, and continued: "General He, I hope you can understand that I am not deliberately making things difficult for you. The war situation is really urgent, and all of us need to bear the responsibility.
Greater pressure and burden! Only in this way can we stimulate all our potential and have the greatest chance of winning against the Mongolian Tatars! I have made detailed plans for this year's fire screening of the invaders. In this series of plans, the new army of warriors will
Their functions are irreplaceable, and the new combat force needs to be formed as soon as possible! I don’t force you to run in those troops that have not yet arrived at Huamachi Camp, but the current strength of the new combat army must be formed within ten days.
Army! Of course, I will also issue another official document to urge the border army generals from various places to hand over their private soldiers as soon as possible!"
Then, Zhao Junchen's expression softened slightly and he added: "In addition, there are actually advantages to the fact that the new soldiers of the war army are not uniform for the time being! It is always easier to run an army of 10,000 people than an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people! General
After the current forces are completely integrated into one, it will be easier to use the current forces as the main body in the future to absorb and integrate subsequent forces to make up for it. Does General He think this is true?"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, He Zhang was still in a dilemma!
There are really too many problems with the new army. Even if it is just to adjust the current strength, ten days are really stretched. He Zhang has no confidence at all, so he dare not promise anything.
At this time, Guan Wuyuan, who had been maintaining his airs and remained silent, adhering to the principle of "standing and talking without pain in the back", suddenly said to He Zhang: "General He, you are a veteran of the frontier army, don't you know?"
The principle of "military orders are like mountains"? Master Zhao has given an order, and you just have to do your best to carry it out! If there are difficulties, then find a way to solve them!"
On the other side, Li Ru'an, the eunuch of the Supervisory Army, also said: "I hope General He knows that Mr. Zhao has never had a good rest since he arrived in the northwest! After arriving at Huamachi Camp, he only had a few rests every day.
Rest for about two hours! General He thinks it is difficult to run in the new army, so it will be easy for Mr. Zhao to preside over the military affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu? The difficulties he faces are only a lot more than those of the new army!
...But to this day, Mr. Zhao has not only thoroughly understood the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, analyzed the enemy's situation many times, formulated a number of combat plans, established a new team of the Governor's Mansion, and also promulgated a number of policies, initially reversing the situation.
In addition to the atmosphere of Shaanxi and Gansu, under the leadership of Mr. Zhao, the logistics and military preparations, money and food accounts of Shaanxi and Gansu have been sorted out, the turnover situation has greatly improved, and the disaster relief matters in the rear are also in order, and the chaotic situation has become
Gradually take control...
...All of these are Mr. Zhao's political achievements in just seven days! This does not include all the things that we civil and military officials have accomplished under Mr. Zhao's arrangement! ...So, Mr. Zhao has already done something.
Example, General He always prides himself on being very high, how can he fall behind others?"
After hearing what Li Ruan said, everyone present was shocked.
Before that, most of them were only responsible for unilateral matters. For example, Zheng Jiadong was only responsible for Shilin public opinion and the morale of the frontier army, Zhou Bo was only responsible for reviewing the merits and demerits of the frontier soldiers, and Zheng Yu was only responsible for the defense of Huamachi Camp.
Therefore, I don’t know much about the changes in the overall situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, and I can only look at Zhao Junchen’s work and results in the past few days.
But after hearing Li Ru'an's detailed introduction, they suddenly realized that Zhao Junchen had accomplished so many things in just seven days!
None of these things is easy to accomplish, and every one of them is clearly laid out in front of you. It is by no means a deliberate exaggeration by Li Ruan!
It is hard for anyone to imagine how much hardship and effort Zhao Junchen put in during these seven days!
Thinking of this, everyone present, no matter what position they originally held, all admired Zhao Junchen at this moment!
Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Zhao Junchen did not show any pride, but said slowly: "Since I have taken over the powers and responsibilities of the governor of the three sides, I naturally do not dare to neglect! These are all matters within my duties.
, if it didn’t work out, it would be my dereliction of duty! Although it has achieved some results now, there is nothing to be proud of!”
After saying that, Zhao Junchen turned his eyes to He Zhang again and asked: "General He, let me ask you again, can you get the new army to form combat strength within ten days? If not, then I will
Let others lead the way!”
The various statements made by Guan Wuyuan and Li Ruan completely aroused He Zhang's pride.
Especially Li Ru'an's statement completely changed He Zhang's impression of Zhao Junchen.
Although Zhao Junchen was a little more demanding on He Zhang, Zhao Junchen was even more demanding on himself. In this way, He Zhang was naturally convinced!
Therefore, He Zhang raised his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao! Just like Li Jianjun said, you have set an example, and the general will not fall behind others. Within ten days, even if the general is sleepless
No end, we must let the new army of soldiers form combat strength!"
Before this, He Zhang always called himself "the general" in front of Zhao Junchen. Although he expressed his obedience, his arrogance did not weaken at all. But now he calls himself "the last general". This change is
The reason why He Zhang gradually became convinced of Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "In that case, I'm relieved! While you are integrating the new army, I will also ask all officials to fully cooperate with you! You don't need to have any scruples, just let it go.
!”
"The general obeys the order! Time is running out. The general does not dare to stay at the Governor's Mansion any longer. Let's go to the new army camp to start the integration!"
He Zhang loudly accepted the order, his expression full of determination. After facing the challenge, the heroic and decisive spirit in him became even stronger.
Seeing He Zhang's attitude, everyone present gradually believed that maybe He Zhang could really build a strong army within ten days!
After receiving the order, He Zhangpo decisively said goodbye to Zhao Junchen and wanted to go to the camp of the new Zhanbing Army to do business.
However, just when He Zhang was about to leave, Zhao Junchen persuaded He Zhang to stay, saying: "Old General He, stay here. Before you can officially take action, there is still a public case that needs to be dealt with, and you are the one responsible for this case."
The witness needs you to provide circumstantial evidence... Don’t worry, it won’t take too long!”
Having said this, Zhao Junchen turned his eyes to Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi, and asked: "I heard that just now outside the Governor's Mansion, a border soldier violated military orders and killed prisoners to vent his hatred, but the three of you did
Did you secretly let the offending border soldier go?"
Upon hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi all changed their expressions.
Then, they suddenly recalled that the three of them came to the Governor's Mansion to see Zhao Junchen specifically to plead guilty for this matter!
Moreover, looking at Zhao Junchen's attitude at this time, it was different from what they imagined. This matter seemed to be difficult to solve!
