The rise of the poor

Chapter 2020 What do you want to do?

As soon as Tu Dashan finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an continued to bow to Zhang Jing and said, "At the same time, we are also the governors appointed by the emperor, and we also have the power and responsibility to manage the military affairs within the country and command the military affairs within the country."

ha?
One moment, they say that the Governor-General should be in charge of the military affairs of Jiangnan. This is how it should be! The next moment, they say that the Governor-General has the power to concurrently manage military affairs and command the military affairs within the territory! So, should the military command authority be taken back or not? !
Are you sitting on the fence?!
And he didn't even carry me! He was riding on the wall in front of Governor Zhang and all of us. How many crotches do you have that can withstand being ridden like this?!
Tu Dashan was stunned.

Not only Tu Dashan, but everyone including Zhang Jing was stunned. They looked at Zhu Pingan in confusion.

Zhu Ping'an spoke slowly under everyone's gaze, "The Governor-General is in charge of the military command in Jiangnan, and we, the Governor-General, are in charge of the military command in the territory. There is no contradiction between the two. The overall war against the Japanese is under the unified command of the Governor-General, and we will obey his command completely; the local war against the Japanese in the territory is under the command of our Governor-General, of course, the Governor-General can give orders for the local war against the Japanese at any time, and we will obey his orders completely; for generals and soldiers at all levels in the territory, if the Governor-General gives orders, they will obey the Governor-General, if the Governor-General does not give orders, they will obey us. If there is a conflict in the orders, the Governor-General's orders shall prevail."

Zhu Ping'an didn't want Zhang Jing to take away his military command. He respected Zhang Jing, but he didn't believe in him.

Zhang Jing's strategy of suppressing the Japanese was still conservative, and Zhu Ping'an did not quite agree with it. In addition, according to the historical trajectory, Zhang Jing would be brought down by Zhao Wenhua with the power of the Yan Party and die unjustly. Subsequently, the post of Governor-General of Jiangnan would pass through several hands and finally fall on Hu Zongxian.

If the military command is taken away by Zhang Jing, it will become a routine in the future that no matter who becomes the governor, his military command will be taken away.

Then, for a long time from then on, he would become a governor without military power, equivalent to a tiger with no teeth.

The Zhejiang Army he had formed would also fall into the hands of others and become a stepmother. It would most likely be like the Qi Family Army in history, which was completely annihilated. In addition, the Zhejiang Army was the army that placed the most emphasis on firearms. At that time, any general of the Ming Dynasty, including Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, had far backward ideas about firearms. If the Zhejiang Army fell into the hands of others, no matter who it was, they would not be able to bring out its true strength.

This situation is unacceptable to me.

It's not that I'm greedy for power, or that a real man cannot be without power, but that only with power can you get things done, and only with military power can you suppress the Japanese.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River have suffered from the Japanese for a long time!
According to historical records, it will take about another ten years to completely quell the Japanese threat.

Ten years.

This is not a simple number. Behind this number, there are tens of millions of people who suffered from the Japanese pirates, their families were broken up, their wives and children were separated, and their hair was gray and their hair was black. It is unknown how much wealth was plundered by the Japanese pirates, and how many houses and fields were destroyed by the Japanese pirates.
The ten-year catastrophe was too devastating.

Zhu Ping'an wants to do his best to end this catastrophe as soon as possible, which requires power, especially military power.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an tried hard to retain the governor's military command.

Tu Dashan looked at Zhu Pingan in surprise.

Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, which was his habit when thinking. He was thinking about Zhu Ping'an's proposal.

Everyone present here also has eight hundred minds, they know that this is a power struggle among the upper class, they all look at their noses and their hearts, sitting still, you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me.
After Zhu Ping'an opened his mouth, the huge conference hall fell into silence, and even his quiet, deep breathing was noticeable.

Quiet, quiet, and quiet.

Zhang Jing was still thinking with his eyes narrowed, with no intention of speaking. The atmosphere in the meeting room became more and more depressing.

Zhu Ping'an counted the time silently, and seeing that Zhang Jing had no intention of speaking again, he continued speaking.

"In your opinion, Governor, who is better, you or Zhuge Wuhou?" Zhu Ping'an asked Zhang Jing with a bow.

Come on, Lord Zhang, tell me, who is more powerful, you or Zhuge Liang?

"How can I compare with Zhuge Wuhou? Compared with Zhuge Wuhou, I am like a star to the bright moon. How can a spark dare to compete with the bright moon?"

Zhang Jing shook his head and replied that although he was a little conceited, he was not conceited enough to be comparable to Zhuge Wuhou.

"In order to repay the first lord's three visits to his thatched cottage, Zhuge Wuhou personally took care of everything and worked hard until his death. He got up early and went to bed late every day, and personally reviewed all matters, big or small. He didn't eat or sleep well, and finally regretted it at Wuzhangyuan, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition. It can be said that: he visited the first lord three times to ask for advice on state affairs, and he helped the old ministers of the two dynasties. He died before he could achieve his goal, which made heroes shed tears."

"I think Zhuge Wuhou doesn't need to do everything himself. Shu Han is full of talented people. Fa Zheng, Li Yan, Wei Yan, etc., just delegated reasonably, which led to Zhuge Wuhou's illness due to overwork. The governor-general doesn't need to do everything like Zhuge Wuhou, big or small, sitting in Jiangnan, commanding the overall situation, and summarizing the main points. We are not talented, but we are not useless. If you entrust us with an important task, we will work hard and do our best to not disappoint you."

"The Japanese pirates are a serious threat to Jiangnan. It will take time to wipe them out. The Governor-General is not made of iron. If he has to do everything himself, how can his body and energy sustain it? We are not talented enough, but we are willing to help the Governor-General solve his problems."

Zhu Pingan said slowly.

"Haha, Zihou brought up the example of Zhuge Wuhou." Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

At this time, Zhang Jing had no intention of giving in.

"Lord Zhu, please be careful with your words. Are you cursing our governor?" An official stood up and attacked Zhu Ping'an.

"How could that be? I am doing this out of my deep concern for the Governor." Zhu Ping'an said sincerely.

"No need to make a big deal out of it." Zhang Jing waved his hand and changed the topic of cursing.

"The Japanese invasion is complex and the situation is changing rapidly. Your instructions are sometimes out of reach, and we need people to adapt to the situation and respond in a timely manner."

"In addition, let me say something inappropriate. If the Governor-General is personally involved in everything and holds all military power in his hands, without letting anyone else do anything, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives and who deliberately hinder him will criticize and suspect the Governor-General."

Zhu Pingan continued to speak slowly.

Although Zhu Ping'an did not explicitly say why those people with ulterior motives would criticize and suspect Zhang Jing, but a little thought would reveal that you, Zhang Jing, have taken all military power in Jiangnan into your own hands. You have even taken the military power of the governor appointed by the emperor. What do you want to do? Is it just to suppress the Japanese pirates?
