Resigning from the position?

Prevent anyone from gossiping?

Why?

Xu Tong didn't quite understand what Su Haisheng meant.

"I haven't paid much attention to this."

Xu Tong said strangely: "Will anyone gossip? What gossip? What gossip is there to say?"

"The power is concentrated. If the commander leads troops or the director of the local revival association, he can manage many revival members who are administrative positions. In this way, the local military and political power will be the same as the ranks of the old dynasties and the governors of the past. Isn't it very unsafe?"

Su Haisheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There have never been many people who talk about such gossip, but you didn't notice it before. Take the story of the Five Tiger Generals as an example. Why did Sun Ziyi give up his military power and go to the Privy Council for logistics?

The Chairman supported him as the commander of the Yanyun Corps, but there were too many gossips. Don’t you know the situation in the army back then? The entire army was not optimistic about him.

Many people are saying that the other four people, including me, deserve the title of the Five Tiger General, but Sun Tzu Yi is not good. Over time, Sun Tzu Yi cannot stand this pressure and resigns."

Xu Tong took a deep breath and was silent for a while.

"The Chairman said that I hope I can concentrate my power, pull the team up as soon as possible, and do things, and there is no other mention. This appointment is also based on regular channels and there is no problem at all."

"Yes, it was indeed the best at the beginning, so no one objected, but it wouldn't be like this after Sichuan and Shu were pacified."

Su Haisheng whispered: "Why did Sun Ziyi resign? On the one hand, it was because he did not have a strong record, but more importantly, he was not a member of the Fuxing family, nor was he a subordinate who followed the chairman all the way to fight with him. His identity was a bit embarrassing and he also held military power, so there were many people who had opinions about him."

"Then I am the old subordinate who has been following the Chairman for a revolution."

Xu Tong spread his hands: "Although I am young, I am a senior member of the Revival. They are all the same comrades. They have been working for a goal for so many years. What else can I not believe in?"

Su Haisheng shook his head with your expression as if you were too young.

"It's all the same, so what about senior Fuxing members? Are you more senior than me? I followed the chairman when I was less than ten years old! When I pacified Guanzhong and at the beginning, I was the director of the branch of the Guanzhong Fuxing Association. Later, there were many people in the Zhongdu headquarters who opposed me continuing to be the branch director.

They said that a person must lead the army and be responsible for the affairs of the Revival Society. The power of the matter is too heavy and will affect the balance. So later I settled for the second best, took the initiative to resign and became the director of the Military Affairs Department.

I think this will finally lead to peace, right? But later, someone else said this, saying that it is not good to be the director of the Military Affairs Department, and that it can further interfere with the construction of the military. So I took a step back and became the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department. Now I am considered peace."

"There is still this? Who is against you? Have you offended anyone in the middle?"

Xu Tong said in confusion: "I haven't heard of this much?"

"I took a step back before things started, so there weren't many people who knew about it, and it wasn't important."

Su Haisheng shook his head and said helplessly: "I have never offended anyone, and no one is targeting me. They are not against things and people, and they have to take care of anyone in this position.

The central government means that it is not good for a person to hold multiple important positions, especially those who lead troops. It is best not to hold too many positions. If you lead troops, don’t manage government affairs and don’t involve the management of the Revival Society. Anyway, this is what it means."

"From the central perspective, maybe that's true."

Xu Tong held his hands in front of his chest, thought for a while, and said slowly: "But if you do it well, why not do it? The central government has reacted too much to this matter, and shouldn't it be more confident in his comrades?"

"You can't say that. In the past many storms, there were many comrades who broke the law. The main reason is that some people are really easy to shake things and do things that are not conducive to everyone, so the central government's defense is even deeper."

Su Haisheng shook his head and said, "I am not interested in these things, and now the revival will be more and more important in the local system. I also think it is not good to intervene as the commander. I think the choice I made before was right.

Of course, I didn’t ask you to give in now. Now that you do your business, after you wait for Sichuan and Shu to be a little more stable, you should take the initiative to write a letter to Zhongdu to talk about this matter. No matter what Zhongdu says, you always have to express your opinion.”

Xu Tong looked at Su Haisheng for a while.

"It's not that I don't want to. I also prefer military rather than politics. But why do I think some comrades have a bad focus? They should pay more attention to some local issues, focus on production, labor, and organizational construction, rather than focusing on such things."

"I also hope that everyone trusts each other without distractions, but that's the case."

Su Haisheng sighed and whispered: "I'll tell you, anyway, you should express your opinion first and don't give them an excuse to speak. As long as you are still in active service and have no relationship with military positions, don't touch them, whether in the court or in the Revival Society."

Xu Tong's expression was a bit strange.

"You know a lot."

"I understand now that ideals are ideals, struggles are struggles, but there are always some things within us that are really hard to avoid."

Su Haisheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's like Zhongdu's supervision of local governments. It is probably because the local forces in the past have brought too deep impression on Zhongdu. They are now particularly concerned about whether there are any local governments who stubbornly disobey the central government's orders, and it seems that they are particularly taboo about this."

"Extremely taboo? What's the special method?"

Xu Tong couldn't help but complain.

Su Haisheng smiled bitterly.

"If you catch the problem, you will investigate it. So the Chairman had a special meeting before and said that the Central Committee should not check it too hard. Of course, it must be checked for important things, but there is no need to write a report and submit it in any detail.

As a result, some comrades believed that the Chairman forgot how local officials deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates before, and they were lazy. They also gave suggestions at the meeting, saying that what lessons learned from the past and future generations must be taken into consideration by the local government and carefully monitored them in the central government.

The key point is that what they said is not wrong. Last year, I heard that they did this and discovered that seven or eight counties had committed fraud in finances. Then, the three departments investigated the matter to the end, and took down several county magistrates and a state governor, and the relevant people were waiting for it.

Because of this, the Chairman had no good reason to adjust their methods of doing things slightly. Although everyone had some opinions in their hearts, they had to admit that they did have achieved excellent results and safeguarded the interests of the court and the people."

After hearing this, Xu Tong was silent for a while, and then sighed.

"It's really difficult for the Chairman to weigh the pros and cons between the local government and the central government."

"Who said no? Later, the Chairman ordered the central departments to cut down some of the processes for reviewing local areas, simplify some of the processes, and reduce the time spent. In this way, many people were not satisfied with this, and the Chairman forced it down.

So now I can deeply understand how difficult the Chairman is. He is the emperor in name, but he is unwilling to use the emperor's power casually, so he is a little restrained in many things."

Su Haisheng sighed and shook his head and said, "Anyway, I feel that some comrades are not thinking well, but they are too concerned about their responsibilities and are too cautious about the local area.

Take my example. In recent years, during the Corps' financial approval, my old partner Han Wei can ask the people of the Privy Council and the Ministry of Military Affairs about collapse.

What money is used for, what is done, the relevant approval documents and the audit documents after the incident are indispensable. If you have a little missing, you can check it out and check it to the end, which makes us quite embarrassed.”

Xu Tong scratched his head.

"I haven't heard of it before..."

"That's because your level is not enough. Of course, you won't encounter this thing, but now that your level is up, you should be more careful."

Su Haisheng said seriously: "And you are the youngest among the generals of the entire army, and you are also one of the youngest among the youngest ones.

If this is established in the future, you will definitely be the best candidate for the commander. At that time, you will be the youngest among the commanders of the corps. What's wrong?"

"this……"

"Be careful that our ship will be sailing for a thousand years. Our family has a great career, which is no longer as before. We cannot just focus on doing things, but also pay attention to some things other than military. This is still meaningful to us. Yue Fei did not fall on the battlefield, but fell on the political field.

Throughout history, many famous generals have not been defeated on the battlefield, but have fallen on the political field. We don’t have to participate, but we must understand, otherwise the best outcome is to go to the Privy Council to manage logistics, or teach in the Military Academy... Also, remember, don’t break the law, otherwise no one can save you.”

Xu Tong looked at Su Haisheng's serious expression and nodded slowly, indicating that he remembered these words in his heart.

He had no interest in politics, but liked war and military tactics. Although he was the director of Sichuan and Sichuan distribution, the actual things were left to Zhou Qiang. He devoted himself to managing the army and carrying out military construction.

Nevertheless, it seems that fighting alone is not feasible now.

Especially at the stall established by the Sichuan-Shu Corps, if he really became the commander of the Sichuan-Shu Corps, this aspect might be really important.

You should still spend some energy on other aspects so as not to make mistakes in some unexpected places, and there is no room for reason.
