In the evening of the next day, after Mr. Shen got off work from the Ministry of War, Xue Wei and Ling Su went to Shen's house for dinner.
The two of them were the first batch of true subordinates of Mr. Shen, and they also naturally became the first batch of "old officials".
When an official came to visit, Lu Ruoxi asked her family to arrange a table of food and wine to entertain the two of them.
After finishing the meal, all the Shen family members had left the table, leaving only the three of them. Mr. Shen took a sip of water, looked at Ling Su, and asked: "Is there anything going on during the Songjiang Mansion training camp this time?"
What's the difficulty?"
Ling Su quickly put down Kuaizi and said: "Sir, the difficulty is not difficult. Now the Wenzhou Guard in Zhejiang and the Quanzhou Guard in Fuzhou are almost at Songjiang Prefecture. The remaining ones and the Guangzhou Guard are relatively far apart.
It’s far away and still on the road, so it will take some time to get there.”
"If you want to talk about any difficulties..."
He sighed and said: "It can only be a matter of vacancies for military attachés in various guard posts. Not only the low-ranking ones, but also General Xue's Guangzhou Guard."
"Although Bei Zhi and General Xue are commanders, they do not have adjutants. They have two commanders and two commanders, all of whom are absent..."
"When it comes to command, we can't go from one Thousand Household Camp to another Thousand Household Camp..."
In the final analysis, it is still what I told Shen Yi at the Ministry of War yesterday.
Mr. Shen looked calm, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said calmly: "There is no way to solve this problem for you at the moment. You must know that you two have no idea how you got the position of commander."
Ling Su was originally a Qianhu, and Xue Wei was promoted from a small soldier. Even when he was under Shen Yi, he spent most of his time just trying Qianhu.
You know, Qianhu is the fifth grade, and the commander is the third grade!
In the middle, there are also the commanders of the fourth grade, who know the same thing from the commanders of the third grade!
If the anti-Japanese army had not made great achievements in suppressing the Japanese, half of them would have been recorded on the heads of these two people. In addition, the emperor deliberately did not want other people in the court to participate in his "private army".
"In this period, there were no external generals transferred to fight against the Japanese army. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to achieve the position of commander in just two years.
"unless..."
Shen Yi paused, looked at Ling Su, and said, "Unless you two can accept the transfer of people from other armies into your respective guard posts to serve as your deputies."
After hearing this, Ling Su suddenly stopped talking.
No one wants outsiders to come and share their authority.
In addition, it can be said that their respective subordinates now know the basics. If an outsider suddenly comes to do things, they will be more timid.
Ling Su was silent for a while, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, I naturally have no objection to the transfer of generals from outside to the lower ranks. I'm just afraid that the old men below who are waiting for promotion will not agree..."
Shen Yi chuckled and did not answer.
"Out of the five thousand households that originally fought against the Japanese army, three people are now in charge of a guard post. After the two of you go back, you can report to the military headquarters for the names of these three people. I will go to the activities, even if I can't give a commanding sympathizer.
, but there is always no problem with a leader."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "We can't always let them take charge of the military affairs with the rank of Qianhu. If this goes on for a long time, they may not be able to convince the public."
The two people clasped their fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
"And one more thing."
After Shen Yi took a sip of tea, he looked at the two people and said: "A few days ago, Su Ding, a Qianhu of the Mingzhou Guard, came to me and said that his hereditary position of Qianhu was being given away by the commander of the Mingzhou Guard.
I sent someone to investigate the matter, and it is indeed true."
"He has nowhere to go now."
Shen Yi said slowly: "Therefore, I want to transfer him to work under the two of you."
Master Shen asked with a smile: "Which of you wants him?"
Ling Su and Xue Wei looked at each other and said nothing.
Xue Wei thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Shen, do you want this person to be a Qianhu or a higher official?"
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "My authority is only at the fifth level, so I can only appoint him as a Qianhu for the time being. However, he is a veteran Qianhu of the Mingzhou Guard, and he also has the military merit of killing Japanese pirates. I want to transfer him to the Coastal Capital Division."
If so, it can only be Jin or Guangzhou Wei."
Shen Yi has already made this very clear.
Only high-priced generals like Ling Su and Xue Wei can suppress him. If he is transferred to the other three guard posts, the heads of the three guard posts will still be appointed as Qianhu.
, most likely the one who couldn't suppress Su Ding.
After all, the commander of the Mingzhou Guard did not convince him and tried every means to get him out. Moreover, they did not "frame him up" but invited him out with a promotion.
In this way, even Shen Yi couldn't find any place to help, so he could only introduce another job to Su Ding.
Ling Su looked at Shen Yi and hesitated to speak.
After Xue Wei thought for a while, he said: "Mr. Shen, I have a total of five thousand households in Guangzhou Guard. Although some of them are appointed by hundreds of households, after all, they are all old brothers who came out of the anti-Japanese army. No.
In order to take away their positions, you arrange for a thousand households to come down. There is no problem with the humble position, but two of the five thousand households are old brothers who followed you when they fought against the Japanese in Linhai City. The humble position..."
"The humble post wants to transfer one of them to command and serve, thus vacating the position of Qianhu for the new Qianhu."
Hearing Xue Wei's words, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Sure enough, when every collective grows to a certain stage, there will be a situation of "seniority". For example, in the coastal capitals now, the old people who fought against the Japanese army can naturally brag in front of the newcomers who came during the capital government period.
, show off the score.
But those who killed Japanese pirates during the anti-Japanese war period were naturally different.
The older ones also fought against the Japanese in Linhai City, including the group of "Linhai Guards" who followed Shen Yi, as well as the hundreds of people who formed the anti-Japanese army during its initial formation.
That is "veteran qualification".
Obviously, Xue Wei's loyal character misses old friendships very much, and he also cares about the first group of old brothers.
"good."
Shen Yi nodded and said: "Then let's do it like this. You go back and report the list to the Ministry of War, and I'll go find you."
At this point, Shen Yi warned: "Remember, take the civil service post to deliver it to the Ministry of War, and don't write me a private letter stupidly."
Most people don't need to explain this kind of thing. After all, no one is stupid enough to do this. But Xue Wei is a stubborn person, so Shen Yi has to remind him.
After saying this, Mr. Shen looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, the meal is almost over. You two are not suitable to stay at my house for too long, so go back now."
"yes."
Ling Su stood up, hugged Shen Yi's fists, lowered his head and said, "Sir, I still want to ask you a question."
Mr. Shen nodded.
"You ask."
Ling Su paused for a moment and asked: "Sir, how long will this Songjiang Mansion training last... His Majesty did not mention it, and what is the purpose of this training..."
"I have no confidence in my humble position."
This sentence is the most important purpose of Ling Su coming to Shen's house tonight.
Mr. Shen thought for a while, and then replied: "Don't ask about the time for military training. Your Majesty didn't say stop, so you have been staying in Songjiang Mansion. There is just one thing that needs to be done."
"Although there are only a thousand people left in various places, the shipping companies in various places cannot be chaotic or cause problems. You must also pay attention to your respective stations to avoid causing trouble."
"And then there's..."
Shen Yi glanced at the two people and said, "This time, we will practice land and water warfare. There is Chongming Island in Songjiang Prefecture. You can go there to train."
"Be sure to practice hard."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "Your Majesty, I will always keep an eye on you."
Ling Su bowed his head deeply, thanked Shen Yi, and then said, "I understand, I understand."
Xue Wei also clasped his fists and saluted, preparing to say goodbye.
Shen Yi stood up to see the two off, patted Xue Wei on the shoulder, and smiled lightly,
"Then Su Ding is still in Jiankang. Tomorrow I will ask him to go to the guild hall of the Ministry of War to find you."
Xue Wei nodded.
"Okay, I will wait for him at the club tomorrow."
Mr. Shen smiled slightly.
"He is a hereditary man from a thousand families and has quite a lot of abilities. When he was in Mingzhou Guard, he led his troops to kill more than two hundred Japanese pirates. Although he may work under your command in the future, don't underestimate him."
"If you don't understand anything, ask him for advice."
Hearing the words "thousands of hereditary households", Ling Su's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
