"What about the army? You have to know that the important generals under my command are all around 40 years old. They are already independent generals around the age of 40. Look at Ren Chao (Li Jishen), who is only 40 years old this year and is already a member of the military department Undersecretary, Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Tell me, what will they do?"

Duan Xun is most concerned about the military issue.

Other things are easy to talk about, what about the army.Look at Li Jishen, who is only 40 years old this year and is already the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs.How do you let him go up and let Duan Xun leave the position of chief of the military department to him?

Look at Xu Yongchang, who is 38 years old and has been in the General Staff for many years, serving as the Chief of General Staff for many years.Where else could he go.Could it be that he will be the chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs for the next 30 years?

If Li Jishen and Xu Yongchang are allowed to serve as deputy ministers and chiefs of general staff in the Ministry of Military Affairs for more than 20 years, the future sequelae will be very serious.

Not to mention that they have other ideas, it's just that they have been in the military department for many years, and they are all their people.How will Duan Xun control the affairs of the military department in the future?Including Xiong Kewu, who is 40 years old and has served as the Minister of Military Affairs for many years, and how many cadres he has trained up and down.

This is a matter for the top of the military department.

There are also generals with heavy troops in their hands.How old are Fang Dingying, Shang Zhen, and Liu Xiang, and they are already commanders of the military region with hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands.

If there is no suitable liquidity, who can know what will happen in the future.

Duan Xun couldn't ignore these issues. After 20 years, these people are already deeply entrenched in the army, and even if Duan Xun wants to deal with them, it will be very difficult.

Duan Xun will always feel difficult, and the people who will succeed Duan Xun in the future will have nothing to do with them.

"Flow, still need to flow."

"How to flow?"

"Prime Minister, there are two ways. One is to continue to increase the number of posts in the military field like government agencies, and to move among the military department and the various military regions below. The other is not to limit their positions to the army. Be bold Most of the army cadres were transferred to local areas."

"Let them change jobs?"

"Correct."

Yang Wei nodded.Then he said directly: "The current generals of the military department, like General Li Jishen, General Xiong Kewu, and General Xu Yongchang, must have half of the generals. They should change jobs in a short time and should not continue to stay in the military department. The longer the time, the greater the hidden danger in the future. Only when half of the generals in the military department change jobs can enough positions be vacated for the local generals. Only by raising the ranks can the army be revitalized."

"You make me think about it."

change jobs.

This is no easy task.Especially Li Jishen, who is the deputy minister of the military department and the commander-in-chief of the army.He has a high position in the army, but if he changes jobs, what position should he be given.

Too low, those generals will not be satisfied.It is equivalent to saying that the government does not attach importance to these generals.After all, Li Jishen has such a high status, if he doesn't get a good position in his profession, how can the army be satisfied.But if the price is too high, the cabinet members will not be satisfied.

Many military leaders in the early years are now in the cabinet, and their qualifications are deeper than Li Ji.It is impossible for Li Jishen to overwhelm them when he comes out.People including Jiang Hongyu and You Min had a higher status in the army than Li Jishen in their early years.Could it be that if Li Jishen leaves the army now, his status will be higher than them?

"The problem of the army should be dealt with as soon as possible. Li Jishen and the others are still young now. After changing jobs, they will train in the local area for about ten years, and they will be of great use in the future."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

"It seems inevitable that more ministries will be added to the cabinet," he said.

"Ren Chao, sit down."

"Yes."

Hidden dangers.

After talking with Yang Wei, Duan Xun found that there were indeed many problems, or that there were great hidden dangers.As far as the cabinet is concerned, Duan Xun, the prime minister of the cabinet, occupied the position of prime minister for a day, and Dai Kan and the others could not be promoted.If their position can't be improved, it's hard for the chief executives below to go further.At most, they can only adjust their positions constantly, but cannot go up.However, political issues can be postponed. After Duan Xun changes the political system and becomes a presidential system, there will be a large number of positions in the presidential palace and the cabinet.But the question of the army is too important.

The generals of the army are too young, even younger than the chief ministers of the cabinet.It's really because when Duan Xun rose to prominence, these people who followed Duan Xun to conquer the world were either Duan Xun's classmates or Duan Xun's students.Duan Xun is only 37 years old this year, so Duan Xun's classmates and students are very young. Around the age of 40, he is already a high-ranking and powerful person, holding a heavy army.If you don't make some adjustments, these people have become entrenched in the military over the past 20 years, so there will be more problems.Who will be able to control these generals by then?It is still possible to adjust Duan Xun now, and Duan Xun will have to think about it 20 years later.

So Duan Xun must take precautions.

Because Duan Xun is not yet 40 years old, Duan Xun will never give up his power in the next 20 years.To control power, the army is the top priority, and Duan Xun cannot allow forces beyond his control to appear in the army.Power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Duan Xun is very supportive of this statement.

But the military, the issue is too sensitive.

Many people are like a fish in water in the army, and they are high-ranking and powerful in the army.But let them quit the army and come to work in government agencies, will they agree?Putting down their power in the army and coming to a strange local government, can they adapt?And they transfer to government agencies, can they do a good job?

It is easy to increase cabinet departments, but it is not easy to do a good job in department work.Moreover, too many army officers change jobs, which will crowd out other people's positions.This is also a problem.

Maybe it will cause conflicts between civilian officials and officials from military factions.

But no matter how difficult it is, it needs to be done.If you don't do it now, the more time goes by, the more difficult it will be to deal with.Therefore, the first person Duan Xun looked for was Li Jishen.

"Ren Chao, we have known each other for 14 years, 15 years?"

"There are 15 years."

Li Jishen replied immediately.

Duan Xun smiled and said: "Yes, there were 15 years. At that time, I had just graduated from the NCO Academy and was an instructor at Baoding Military Academy. You are a top student in the school, and all the instructors gave you a thumbs up. I was appointed When the Commander of Bandit Suppression in Western Henan, I discussed with Chief Jiang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who we should take. You know who the two of us first thought of, it was you and Cichen (Xu Yongchang)."

"Teacher, thank you for your consideration."

Li Jishen was very touched.

In troubled times, the most important thing is to follow the right people.By following the right people, history can be created, and a name can be left in history.The worst thing is to follow the wrong person.

How many powerful figures in history failed to leave anything because they followed the wrong people.

Not to mention anything else, among those who followed Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period, none of them were talents with outstanding abilities.Talents like Tian Feng and Ju Shou are the top talents in the world.But because he followed Yuan Shao, he couldn't play any role.He only helped Yuan Shao unify Hebei in his early years, and he has no other credit.

Besides, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang, who competed with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world, had no talents under his command, of course there were many talents.But then a few more people knew about them.

why?

Simply because they failed.

And their opponents, such as those under Cao Cao and those under Zhu Yuanzhang, none of them are famous in history.

Why not now.Duan Xun succeeded. Duan Xun rose all the way from the southwest, successfully entered Beijing and became the prime minister of the cabinet.So those people who followed Duan Xun back then were all high-ranking officials with rich salaries and held great power.Including Li Jishen, if he hadn't followed Duan Xun, how could he have become the deputy chief of the military department and the commander-in-chief of the army at a young age.None of Li Jishen's classmates can compare to Li Jishen now.

So Li Jishen is very grateful to Duan Xun.

"Ren Chao, but there is a problem that I can't solve recently. It gives me a headache, and I can't sleep for several nights."

"Teacher, if you have any questions, can you let the students know, the students are willing to share for the teacher."

Duan Xun suddenly mentioned everyone's friendship, and Li Jishen followed Duan Xun's words and called Duan Xun "teacher".But he was very puzzled in his heart, why Duan Xun suddenly asked himself these questions.

Is there any problem that Duan Xun can't solve now?You have to talk to yourself, the deputy minister of the military department, in such a "friendly" way.Does Duan Xun want to mobilize the troops to do something?

Want to crush some political enemies with the military?

But it shouldn't.
