"Well." Zhang Han nodded and said, "If someone else said this, I would think it was a false clearance. I know your words are the truth. You are a pure soldier, so I want to be pure. But I want to remind you that the command of the battalion level can be pure. When you reach the regiment level or the division level, considering things is not just a pure military issue... It is not that you are involved in politics. Soldiers must not be ignorant of politics, but it is best not to intervene in politics. Soldiers who intervene in politics are either vassal states, do many illegal acts, harm the world, or become thugs of powerful officials and civil servants. Therefore, the soldiers I remember must understand politics after reaching a certain position, but must not regard political affairs as playful things, which is to play with fire, which will hurt yourself."

Only then did Zhang Shixiong realize that the summoning tonight was not something Zhang Hanqixing did by chance, but something important to tell him.

He pondered Zhang Han's words and gradually gained something in his heart, but first of all, he could be sure that he had already obtained the command position of the hunting cavalry regiment that had been rumored.

"For example, what happened last time." Zhang Han said: "It's just that soldiers want to intervene in politics, what's the result?"

Zhang Shixiong stood up and said, "I already know that my subordinates are wrong."

"I won't say too much to other subordinates." Zhang Han pondered: "I trust you and I will also trust you, otherwise you will not be a military officer by my side, nor will you give the hunting cavalry to you. You are loyal to me and are also loyal to Hu Ji. You want to be a pure soldier, so sometimes you can't help but be a little extreme when you get to the position of the regiment commander. You will understand that things in the world are not black or white, and sometimes you need to compromise and give in... Don't be dissatisfied, for example, when you become the regiment commander, you need to take care of many things, but not just lead troops to fight..."

Zhang Hanwei told Zhang Shixiong more and more points. In fact, there were already such scenes when he was a military officer.

He always cares about his advice when it comes to people who use it well. As for how much they can learn, it depends on their talent. This is something that Zhang Han can't do.

Judging from Zhang Shixiong's overall performance, it is quite outstanding, so Zhang Han now wants to mention that what Zhang Shixiong is not about leading troops, but about things to pay attention to and be careful after his status changes.

Zhang Shixiong is a sword, which is extremely sharp after being unsheathed, but the sword also needs a sword sheath, otherwise it will easily hurt others and even more easily hurt yourself...

"The Mongols don't need it, sooner or later, it will cause trouble." Zhang Han mentioned the use of the Mongols as hunting cavalrymen. He said: "But they can only use sand-mixed methods. For example, the Mongols with two teams in a company have good riding skills and familiar geography. They use them as sharp knife troops or reconnaissance cavalry. Veterans who have been using it for a long time can also be used as main force, otherwise they will sooner or later be told to see the exclusion and prevention of problems, which is not beautiful."

Zhang Han said again: "It is impossible to give it to your hunting cavalry regiments. The number of unemployed armored soldiers is at least 3,000, which you can't eat. The dragon cavalry regiments and lancer regiments can be used. Each regiment digests 200 to 300 people, and all these armored soldiers will be eaten."

Zhang Shixiong welcomed this latest decision. He said: "It's really a waste to keep these armored soldiers. These people are almost not doing anything. They just follow Taiji and are only responsible for protecting Taiji's safety. They practice riding and shooting in daily life and act as the main force in wartime. Although they are still far behind our people, if they are given to their subordinates for three months, they will probably be able to be reborn. Our military pay is generous, which is much better than what they are so poor now. I don't know the next meal."

The Mongols in the city were indeed drunk and dreaming, but that was a helpless act. If they were drunk and causing trouble in tribal territory, they would be ordered to be urinated by elders or nobles, at least they would have to be whipped. Now that Hutchison came in, the old order was destroyed, and the old production relations and personal dependence relations disappeared. People's minds changed, but how they changed, and where the way out were, these Northern Barbarians did not understand... Not only them, but even those Taiji people could do, they were defeated by Hutchison's subordinates, and their power and territory were almost gone. In other words, these nobles could still remember the old love and provide some help to the old armored soldiers. Of course, they would not do it after a long time. The armored soldiers themselves also understood this, but what could they do? They could only be drunk today...

If you have a way out, of course, it is better to move forward steadily with a good future. Although life is comfortable now, I personally know that it cannot last long.

"Do whatever you should do during training." Zhang Han instructed: "Treat people equally, there is no need to be too harsh on them, but there is no need to take care of them. There is also a package of plans below, which can also allow them to work in the Inner Defense Department, so that they can also play their strengths."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

At this point, Zhang Shixiong was full and got up to say goodbye.

"Shixiong, you don't know much about Taiwan." Zhang Han said carefully: "It is my opinion to celebrate it extensively. In the future, you will understand how great the significance of Taiwan to the Dutch battle... It is far better than our expansion in the north. The soldiers make contributions to Hutchison regardless of their blood and sweat. I am treating them equally. Victory is meaningful and small, and the Taiwan battle is of great significance, so the celebration is larger, it is not that I do not value the hard work and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought bloodyly in the north. You must explain it to the soldiers."

Zhang Shixiong was frightened and shocked. Only then did he understand what was going on when the so-called internal information department monitored the generals in the military very tightly.

When he was in office as a military officer, although he was in the center, how the internal information and military intelligence departments were still a mystery to Zhang Shixiong. These two departments were only responsible for Zhang Han, and of course there were people in the center to help Zhang Han manage complex intelligence matters, but who was, how to do things normally, and what the entire process was like. Even Zhang Shixiong, who had been a military officer, didn't know this secret, let alone other outsiders.

As soon as he said that, Zhang Shixiong knew that his subordinates' complaint was known by the insider's department, and then reported it to him. Because the matter was involved, the person he was about to meet was probably sent to Zhang Han's desk as soon as possible... It was probably when Zhang Shixiong was waiting for the summons that Zhang Han had just read the report.

Zhang Shixiong was a little disgusted with this matter. This was obvious spy politics, but he could only accept it... and Zhang Shixiong knew that he was not going to deal with him. If he had dealt with the adult in front of him, he would not have told him so much before.

Zhang Shixiong clasped his fists and apologized: "It is because my subordinates are not strict in controlling their subordinates. Please punish them heavily."

"You are not a bad master." Zhang Han said in a deep voice: "Your subordinate complains so much, you don't even explain a word, which means that what he said is what you are thinking. If you don't know clearly, how can you do the job of your subordinate? This is what I said, soldiers should be simple, but not absolutely simple."

"Yes!" Zhang Shixiong lowered his head this time and said, "I don't know what's going on, but I don't know what's going on."

"You can admit it frankly." Zhang Han smiled and said, "Sun Xiaozheng had the same idea as you before this. It is normal for you to have these dissatisfactions. I will not punish anyone because of people's emotions. As for your affairs in Taiwan, you will understand it over time. As for your subordinates, if you think about it, you cannot be punished without punishment. If you beat twenty military sticks, you will announce that you will be transferred to Taiwan and go to the warship to serve. You will know how stupid you are when you speak there."

Zhang Shixiong knew that this was Zhang Han’s decent attitude, so the military commander directly transferred him, and his face looked very ugly. He could not plead with Zhang Han at this moment. This was already a relatively light punishment.

"Do it well." Zhang Han said to Zhang Shixiong who was about to leave: "The war may begin against the Donglu next year and the next year, which is a crucial war. Your hunting cavalry battalion should be practiced well, and it will be of great use at that time!"

"I understand." Zhang Shixiong was excited and quickly agreed.

...

"Grand Sima, Eunuch Wei's mansion has arrived."

The accompanying servant whispered to remind him that the new Minister of War and newly appointed Liaodong Lai, who was dozing in the sedan chair, woke up from the Lunar Battle. He coughed gently, and the sedan chair had stopped steadily.

This is a large mansion near the Ten Princes' Mansion outside Dong'anmen. There is a dark street outside, but the alley is ventilated. The huge lanterns are picked from one end of the mansion to the other end. The word "Wei" on the lantern is quite conspicuous. From a distance, people know that this is the mansion outside the palace.

The alley was full of carriages and sedan chairs. Gao Di's sedan chair was barely squeezed in. He finally found an open space in the middle of a group of sedan chairs and parked it down.

After Gao Di got out of the sedan chair, people around him found that it was a second-rank official. The sedan chair and the coachman consciously stopped talking and stared at Gao Di and his replenishment.

When several senior officials of the blazing robes saw that they had added the new Liaodong rank with the rank of Grand Sima of their soldiers, they also took two steps back and went in from Gao Dixian.

The momentum was so great that it was not Gao Di's wish, but this trip was a must... Gao Di was not an eunuch party. He rose from the local area, from the magistrate to the governor, then the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and then the left assistant minister. At this time, this senior who passed the imperial examination in the 17th year of Wanli was over 60 years old. He felt that his energy was declining, and the atmosphere in the court was not very good. People with knowledge either went to the local area, or worked in Nanjing, or simply retired... Gao Di chose to retire in the fifth year of Tianqi. He was an official for more than 30 years and felt quite tired and did not want to continue working hard.

However, the official position was uncontrollable. The former state officials did not have much personal freedom. In less than a year after returning home, the edicts were sent to Gaodi's hometown. After resigning three times, there was a fourth edict, and the wording became more and more severe. Gaodi knew that the court had made up his mind that he could not refuse this job.

Gao Di was forced to recommend it to him, and Wei Zhongxian signaled to come to his residence to pay his respects. The Wei Mansion Gate did not make any embarrassment and directly let him in.
