198 Post-war summary meeting
"Human nature is greedy and changeable. There is no absolute gap between enemies and friends. Before last night, the Green Camp was our enemy, but now the general trend of Tanggu has changed. So can't these officers in the Green Camp be our help? You should think about this question carefully when you go back..."
This is Xiao Letian's speech at the post-war summary meeting, and this summary meeting has become an indispensable part of the New Army's daily life.
Ordinary soldiers are based on classes, and they have to hold such meetings every day or even after each action. Everyone has to speak, and they have to record and discuss every shortcomings in training and action in detail.
From whether the military boots fit together, to what mistakes the officers made on the battlefield last night, everyone can speak freely. Xiao Letian once told all the soldiers in person that it is a serious crime for officers to block the way of speech, and the new army will never engage in a one-man act like the traditional army.
Of course, Xiao Letian was confident in doing this, because the literacy rate of the new army he brought was the highest in the world at that time. He completely used the new army as the future officer reserve regiment to build it. It was precisely because of high-quality soldiers that the miracle of 200 wins 1,000 or 1,000 miracle.
Ordinary soldiers have to hold meetings, and Xiao Letian and senior officers have to hold meetings. Criticism and self-criticism are necessary, and no one is exceptional.
"I won't talk about the highlights of this battle here. Now I mainly criticize a person, whose stubbornness and blind confidence almost destroyed the battle we will win. This person is Xiao Letian..."
Wang Huaiyuan is really not polite. Xiao Letian's speech at the post-war summary meeting just ended, and his cannon had already opened fire.
"We have done many deductions before the war. Basically, every deduction found the biggest flaws and shortcomings in the plan, which are the yamen runners of the Tongzhi Yamen. How can these ordinary people who have not undergone military training play a role in protecting adults? If you have any accidents, then the new army will be defeated even if they win..."
"You don't have to look at me and smile foolishly. You have to take full responsibility for this matter. You must remember that you don't have a son yet and your heir has not been born yet. Living is your most important task. A career cannot be successful without a banner..."
Xiao Letian's face turned slightly red, thinking that Wang Huaiyuan was talking about wherever he said, how could he have a good meeting and ask whether he has a son? But looking at the serious look around him, he knew that this was not a joke.
"Huaiyuan, we are a post-war summary meeting. Don't talk about my son... Haha, haha!"
"Sir, don't smile foolishly. You have ordered the rules for free at the summary meeting. Do you have to regret it? Every word I say now is something we have discussed countless times before, and has been carefully considered..."
Xiao Letian was a little stunned when he heard this. Why have you all met my inner house secretly? He is too scrupulous! But Wang Huaiyuan's words later made Xiao Letian laugh.
"Sir, after collective discussion by our Tanggu Military Officers Group, we have a common proposal... Please ask the adult to establish the descendants of Hu Niu as the heirs, and ask the adult to deprive Fuhui's descendants of his offspring. Of course, what we are talking about is not money, and the adult's descendants must be rich and noble. We are talking about military power..."
Xiao Letian was stunned when he heard this. This... This is so weird, why did he think of this? There is a problem behind this. Xiao Letian suddenly discovered that the group he built himself had begun to evolve slowly. He already had the need for self-select, and he began to influence his founder in reverse.
Yes, once all forces in the world take shape and start to expand, they will have a strange sense of self-awareness. For example, in history, the Hunan Army had signs of ideological rebellion. The Beiyang formed by the Huai Army even overthrew the Qing Dynasty and even formed an extremely large Beiyang warlord system.
This is not only true in China, but also in the whole world. Japan's militarism is based on Bushido and the Emperor, and finally develops into a force that is completely uncontrollable by the civil service system. Their own ideas and will can override the entire Japanese people.
There are too many examples of this kind. Originally, Xiao Letian thought that he would have to encounter this problem in a few years, but he didn't expect that the children he raised had already started to think about in just over a year.
"You... are you trying to force me? I haven't even held a wedding. I'm still a bachelor now. You're talking too early, right?"
"No, it's not early at all. It's best to be prepared for the hidden dangers in the future when the signs are revealed. We are not forcing you today, but this sudden conflict has allowed us to see the extraordinary things of the Tiger Girl. We are brave, determined, and even able to stabilize our position in the face of death."
"Didn't you notice it? After this night of battle, the Hu Niu has unified the hearts of everyone in the inner zodiac. Are those girls still unwilling to accept it? Not only that, the brothers are also convinced by Hu Niu. Everyone thinks that only such a woman is worthy of the adult's career... As for Fuhui, it is just a political marriage..."
The entire meeting ended with Xiao Letian's "failure". At the meeting, Xiao Letian criticized himself, especially for taking risks alone and making a sincere apology.
In addition, Xiao Letian also promised everyone to carefully consider the issue of the heirs. Although he did not nod clearly, this was already a huge concession made by Xiao Letian.
The meeting ended, and Xiao Letian sat in the study on the second floor of the foreign company without saying a word. Of course, Xiao Letian hoped that his subordinates were all thoughtful and intelligent elites, and they should not be slaves who blindly listened and believed. However, when the forces he led began to refute him, Xiao Letian felt a little unhappy.
It's like a father seeing his son who is already a little rebellious. He is extremely complicated, happy with his maturity, and angry with his rebellion. But no matter what, Xiao Letian's power is really growing, and he is growing very healthy.
"Master Long, why are you talking about this unrelated matter? We are so weak now. Isn't it too early to say this?"
Following Xiao Letian's question, a figure flew into the window, which was the alert Master Long.
"Sir is good at thinking about people's hearts. Don't you ask me this question. Haven't you had an answer in your heart? If you really want me to say it, it means that your career is really smooth. There is no failure from beginning to end. The more victories you win, the more people think about it..."
Xiao Letian looked at Long Ye suddenly smiled, "You were asked to attend the meeting just now. If you didn't come, you had to go to the roof to command the warning, but I think you have heard it all. I'll ask you now, do you have any ideals? When we are too powerful in the future, what do you want to do?"
Xiao Letian’s question surprised Master Long. “Well? What does this mean by sir? Do you make a wish in advance? Don’t you already know my ideal? You promised to give me a high salary, land, and a future for my nephew. Will people live by fame, wealth, wealth and glory?"
Xiao Letian laughed, "No, I'm not talking about this. As long as you follow me, as long as you work hard, you will have a wealthy future in the future. But you should have another ideal in your heart, which is a desire that is not very deep in your connection with money and power. That is purely what you want to do in the spiritual world in your heart. Even if you lose money, you are willing to do it..."
"Think about it, think about it, it's good to do something to keep your name in history!"
Mr. Long's expression became strange, and after a long time, he said shyly, "If you want to talk about ideals, there is really one. Over the past year, he has been eye-opening with the husband and saw the power of technology and industry you mentioned. I also know that the flesh and blood will be unable to withstand this power in the future..."
"But I just want our Chinese martial arts world to be passed on. Even if the whole world has changed foreign guns, there are still people who learn martial arts and practice martial arts, so that the things left by our ancestors can be passed on from generation to generation..."
With a bang, Xiao Letian slapped the table. "Okay, very good. This is the ideal that people should have. We want money and power, but we also need a career that will be famous in history. I will help you complete your ideal!"
"After one day, our power is so great that the Qing Dynasty dare not offend you. I will build a 'National Martial Arts Museum' to let you be the first director. The National Martial Arts Museum brings together martial arts heroes all over the world, and let the things passed down by our ancestors pass on from generation to generation..."
"Master Long, your idea is so good. The furry has been in trouble in the south for more than ten years. How many martial arts families have been destroyed and how many unique skills have been lost. These are all treasures! If we don't do anything, we will have a few more wars in the future. At that time, more and more will be withered. With the protection of the National Museum, these unique skills will not be lost. Sooner or later, there will be a time to shine..."
Master Long's eyes suddenly became wet. He suddenly felt that his heart was extremely bright, as if a ray of sunlight shone in. Sir, this is to leave my name in history. On the day when the National Museum was built, I, Xiang Shaolong, was the world's number one martial arts hero, and my name can also be left in history books.
"My lord, remember, I'll go on night, sir to rest early..." After saying that, he turned over and jumped out of the window and flew onto the roof quietly.
No one knew that the dignified northern hero, Mr. Long, was already filled with tears at that moment.
The work after the war was extremely complicated. Cleaning the battlefield, calming the hearts of the people, and building housing for the people who had lost their families were inevitable. But what was more important was how to recover the political situation. The intelligence war had become the most important battlefield. Xiao Letian and the Qing Dynasty's first direct firefighting exchange finally began.
There is no airtight wall in the world. During the Qing Dynasty's two hundred years of rule, it still won the hearts of many people, especially those landlords, which are difficult for Xiao Letian to buy them. These people dare not confront Xiao Letian in person, but there is no problem in secretly venting information.
In two days, Tianjin Wei had already obtained information. On the fourth day, the secret report had already entered the Forbidden City. When the high-level Qing dynasties saw this information that had collapsed, the roof of the entire Yangxin Hall was almost blown off.
"Wolf ambition, this is really ambition! He actually reserves an army and is actually fighting against the Green Camp soldiers openly. Is there any other kingly law in his eyes? Rebellion is simply rebellion..."
Prince Gong Yi? Now he has completely lost his composure. He is walking around the room like a tiger. The little emperor Tongzhi is also anxious.
"How come, who is the Eight Banners of Tianjin? Is it Mele? Is he a waste of time? Why didn't he send troops to suppress it? Four days have passed, why didn't he send troops..."
Just when the little emperor was angry, a little eunuch ran in outside, holding Meller's secret report, "Long live the emperor, the chieftain Meller sent a secret report, please preview..."
Chapter completed!
