"Everyone should know why we haven't destroyed the Manchus for so long." Dong Shuheng said slowly while looking at the senior military government administrators at work.
"I have been waiting for you to be able to help me govern the entire China."
"But some people have begun to be satisfied with the status quo. This makes me unable to take a step forward."
Everyone in the conference room slowly lowered their heads.
"Old Zeng, please hurry up on the selection of officials. After the selection, we will conduct initial training and then send them out. The military government deputy ministers and below in various places can temporarily adopt the one-post-two-person model. We must quickly train a group of mature civilian officials.
"
"I'm a little anxious. I can only hope that they will grow up as soon as possible."
"It's the president. I don't dare to slack off for a moment." Zeng Xianfeng nodded. He knew that Dong Shuheng was not targeting him just now, but just wanted to give the ministers of various ministries a slap.
Within the Huaihai Navy system, the ministers of each department were actually ultimately responsible to Dong Shuheng.
Although Zeng Xianfeng is the Prime Minister, he is responsible for the daily operations of the military government.
However, the power of appointing and removing ministers of various ministries is still controlled by Dong Shuheng himself.
In fact, Zeng Xianfeng cannot be regarded as the leader of this group of ministers, but can only be regarded as a coordinator.
Dong Shuheng did not blame Zeng Xianfeng. In fact, the slackness in various departments in the mountain had a lot to do with him.
I am always running around, and there is no one to supervise each department for a long time. As time goes by, the string will naturally not be tightened.
“The Ministry of Personnel cooperates with Premier Zeng in selecting officials,” Dong Shuheng said to Minister of Personnel Zhu Alin.
The Human Resources Department was reorganized from the former Human Resources Department of Huaihai Navy. It has been continuously delivering talents to Huaihai Navy.
He made great contributions to the development of Huaihai Navy in the early days.
However, as Huaihai Navy grew bigger, the personnel department did not do a satisfactory job in the management of officials.
Therefore, Dong Shuheng established his own Supervisory Yuan, which was responsible for supervising and evaluating officials, including military officers.
Its purpose is to separate the supervision system from the administrative system to achieve checks and balances.
"Yes, President, I understand what you mean. We will issue you a charter for the official selection examination within a week."
Just now Dong Shuheng just stated a general requirement. In fact, this is a brand new system. If the Human Resources Department wants to refine it, it must improve the details.
For example, who will publish the test papers? How will the exam be organized? How will the admission ratio be determined?
How is the interview conducted? What are the specific standards? In this regard, we must refer to the imperial examination system of the Qing Dynasty, and even to foreign official selection examinations.
The most important thing is to consider the brief advice given by Dong Shuheng.
This is not a simple matter.
"I hope that the exam can be completed before the Spring Festival this year, and all publicity officials can participate in training and enter their posts next spring."
"In addition, I hope that the Ministry of Personnel can organize a large-scale training event involving all employees within the Huaihai Navy military government system. The education of military government officials must not stop at any time."
Zhu Alin glanced at Dong Shuheng with some embarrassment.
I have arranged so many things at once, how busy I am!
Dong Shuheng also knew that these two matters were not small in scale.
"As I said just now, from now on, all positions below the deputy director of Huaihai Navy can be filled with two people. You can first fill in the personnel from the personnel department, so that you should be able to be busy."
Dong Shuheng saw the embarrassment in Lao Zhu, who was also an old man in the company. Obviously he did not understand what he meant at the beginning.
Zeng Xianfeng is worthy of being the prime minister and understands Dong Shuheng’s temperament. He then explained Dong Shuheng’s words: “What the president means is that we can artificially create redundant personnel now. The purpose is to cultivate more available officials through positions, and wait until the next time we need to mobilize a large number of officials.”
When you are an official, you will be able to have a group of people available who can get started quickly.”
"Yes, that's what Lao Zeng said. In the past, we would pursue the streamlining of officials to improve efficiency and save costs, but now is a special period."
"For example, this time we took over Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. This suddenly caused a shortage of personnel in the military governments in various places."
"But where are we going to find so many people?" Zhu Alin asked in confusion. The official selection system had just been set up and had not yet been implemented.
Dong Shuheng pondered for a moment: "We do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. We can tap talents from several aspects to fill the gap."
"Students previously arranged for internship by the college can be retained in a batch in advance based on their performance."
"The military department can select a group of soldiers from the army who are good at cultural studies but lack military talent and transfer them to the government."
"Our newly occupied local officials are also a huge source of personnel, especially those officials and those scholars with staff experience, who can be given priority. For example, I brought back from Zhejiang and Fujian for training this time
these people."
"In this process, some people will inevitably be selected who do not meet Huai Haijun's requirements, or whose moral character does not match."
“I think we can adopt the model of ‘first use, second review, and third screening’.”
"We can use them first, and then eliminate those who do not meet the requirements. Your employment department will work with the Supervisory Yuan to complete this matter. The employment department mainly examines the ability and performance of the employees, and the Supervisory Yuan examines morality and integrity."
"Yes, I understand." If Dong Shuheng said this, he would no longer have to worry about finding talents.
This move is equivalent to suddenly broadening the scope of officials selected by the Huai Navy.
Zhu Alin breathed a sigh of relief. The HR department was afraid that no one would be available.
After hearing this arrangement, Li Hu felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy.
If so many officials are hastily selected to join the Huaihai Navy at once, bad apples will inevitably sneak in.
The Control Yuan must find them one by one.
This is like rushing to harvest grain, harvesting sand and weeds together.
The collection speed is fast, but it takes a lot of time to sort out later.
Zeng Xianfeng could hear the urgency in Dong Shuheng's heart.
"It seems that the president is speeding up the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. What makes the president so impatient?" Zeng Xianfeng was confused.
Next, Dong Shuheng made arrangements for the work of other departments.
"Old Zeng, the Chief of Staff, and Zheng Jian are staying. The others should go back first! You all must have a sense of urgency in your hearts. You will no longer be ministers of the same power. You must look at the whole of China and have a broader vision.
Be more confident in yourself.”
The ministers of various ministries and senior military officials present heard the meaning of Dong Shuheng's words, and a surge of pride arose in their hearts.
Everyone left, and only Zeng Xianfeng, Yan Shikun, Zheng Jian, who provided intelligence support at any time, and Wei Yuxiang, who was responsible for recording, were left in the room.
These two elders knew the timetable set by Dong Shuheng to eliminate the Qing Dynasty.
"I want to tell you two about the timetable for the destruction of the Qing Dynasty." Dong Shuheng glanced at Zeng Xianfeng and Yan Shikun and spoke first, unlocking the topic.
Zeng Xianfeng and Yan Shikun both straightened their bodies.
Sure enough, this is what happened. Both of them are senior members of the Huaihai Navy and specialize in taking care of things.
"President, please tell me, is there any problem with our previous timetable?" Yan Shikun asked.
Yan Shikun was involved when the timetable was drawn up, and he knew the reasons behind it.
Dong Shuheng nodded solemnly and said: "We originally formulated this timetable mainly based on our calculations based on the war between Britain, France and the Russians in the west."
"This war should not end earlier than we estimate."
Although the information Huai Haijun has in hand is not comprehensive, with this information combined with some of Dong Shuheng's personal memories of his previous life, he can roughly determine the end time.
In order to prevent accidents, Dong Shuheng deliberately moved the end time earlier.
The Second Opium War should have only started in 1856, after the armistice between Britain, France and the Russians.
Therefore, Dong Shuheng judged that the war should end at the end of 1855 or the beginning of 1856.
According to the progress of the war at this time, the time will not be earlier.
At present, the two sides are basically still fighting each other. According to European morality, they will not stop until they get out of their wits.
Therefore, they set the time to eliminate the Qing Dynasty before the end of 1855.
"Before I came back, I met the ministers of various countries in Shanghai and had a negotiation with them..." Dong Shuheng recounted the negotiations he had with the British and French ministers in Shanghai.
"President, if you put it this way, Britain and France don't want to see us replace the Manchu Qing?" Zeng Xianfeng said.
"This is normal. Britain and France want to gain more benefits from China, so they will not want a strong Huaihai Navy to come to power."
"Although we were more open than the Qing court and allowed them to gain temporary benefits, it was all based on equal exchanges."
"Only ill-gotten wealth is the best thing to make in this world. Our Huaihai Navy will always have to be self-sufficient in the future. What else will we be able to appreciate from Britain and France? Therefore, in the long run, it is not in their interest for us to come to power.
"
Dong Shuheng analyzed that Zeng and Yan knew less about European countries than Dong Shuheng, so they were more inclined to accept Dong Shuheng's opinion in this regard.
“Is the president saying our time needs to be moved forward?”
"The possibility of being ahead of schedule is one aspect, and at the same time we also have to deal with unexpected surprises that may occur in the middle."
"What kind of accident could it be? Does the president think that Britain and France will intervene directly?"
"This should not happen. After all, we are still allies. They will not do such a thing. Big countries still have to respect face."
"But they may support certain forces or let other countries step forward."
Dong Shuheng's analysis made Zeng and Yan frown, and a feeling of anxiety arose spontaneously.
Dong Shuheng seemed to see the anxiety of the two of them, so he calmed down and said: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."
"Even if they make small moves, they can't stop our Huaihai Navy from reunifying. At best, they are just pebbles on the road."
"The reason why I said these words to a few of them individually is to let everyone know what is going on and not panic when the time comes."
"Vice Minister Zheng, since we are making such a big move this time, the court should be ready to respond."
Dong Shuheng believed that Xianfeng had seen his letter.
The imperial court will definitely not delay such a big matter.
"Yes, President, our people intercepted the secret order sent by the imperial court to the provinces."
Next, Zheng Jian talked about splitting the imperial court into two rivers and re-delimiting the governor-general's jurisdiction.
