Like Zhang Cheng, Liu Manniu, and Li Pi, most of the civil and military officials in Huamachi Camp also had a good impression of him after seeing He Zhang, thinking that although He Zhang was not warm and friendly, he was not as arrogant and disobedient as rumored, and was basically normal.

Therefore, everyone thought that today's meeting was just a formality, and everyone, as the core team members that Zhao Junchen relied on, just took advantage of today's opportunity to get acquainted with each other, and there would be no twists and turns.

However, at this time, He Zhang suddenly planned Zhao Junchen's words and said, "Lord Zhao, there is one thing, you must be clear about your thoughts and attitudes. ”

Seeing that He Zhang's expression was full of seriousness, Zhao Junchen glanced at He Zhang deeply, nodded and said, "Old General He, please ask." ”

He Zhang's expression became more and more serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "The humble post is about to take over the new army of soldiers, and this matter is also related to the new army of soldiers...... The humble post wants to know, what is the belonging of the new army of soldiers formed by Lord Zhao? Is it the border army of the imperial court? Or is it your private soldier, Lord Zhao? After this year's fire screening is over, what will this new army of soldiers do? Is it under the Commander-in-Chief of the Doge's Palace? Or will it be returned to the major military towns? Or are you still only following your orders, Lord Zhao? And how to solve the salary of this new army of soldiers? Is the Governor's Office responsible? Or are you personally responsible, Lord Zhao? After commanding this army, can he take over the power and responsibility? Will the appointment and dismissal of the generals of this army be decided in the future? Or is it Lord Zhao, you have the final say? When leading troops into battle, does the lowly have the right to make decisions on the spot? Or is it just a clay statue of a bodhisattva, and all actions need to be decided by Lord Zhao himself? ”

This series of questions, one more intense than the other, each more sensitive than the other!

As He Zhang's words fell, the lobby of the Governor's Mansion suddenly fell silent, and everyone was dumbfounded, and finally saw He Zhang's unruly side! I finally knew that the rumors were true, He Zhang was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp!

Since Zhao Junchen formed the New Army of Soldiers, everyone has muttered about the ownership and nature of this strong army.

It is no exaggeration to say that the new army of soldiers will have a profound impact on the future situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the four major military towns are powerless to check and balance, if this army only obeys Zhao Junchen's orders from now on, and has been stranded in Shaanxi and Gansu, then Shaanxi and Gansu will have the final say in the future? Or does Zhao Junchen have the final say?

It's just that these issues are too sensitive, and now the top priority is to resist the Mongol invasion, so no one dares to mention it to Zhao Junchen.

No one expected that after He Zhang was reused by Zhao Junchen, he would actually raise these questions in public! I didn't think about whether Zhao Junchen would be embarrassed and angry!

In addition to being shocked, everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Junchen, waiting for Zhao Junchen's answer, and a few people even looked nervous.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Junchen's demeanor was no longer as enthusiastic and gentle as before, but he didn't have any intention of being annoyed or angry, he just glanced at He Zhang deeply, and his expression seemed to be a little helpless.

"This He Zhang is indeed a real talent, but why are these people with real skills always difficult to control? Zhao Shan is like this, and He Zhang is also like this...... After Qi Bin received my summons, he didn't rush to the Huamachi camp to serve for a long time, I'm afraid he also had some thoughts in his heart......"

Zhao Junchen secretly sighed in his heart.

From a certain point of view, He Zhang's worries are not unreasonable, the formation of the new army of soldiers is indeed a move by Zhao Junchen to meddle in military power, and even support the army for self-respect, so naturally he will not let go easily! Zhao Junchen asked He Zhang to command the new army of soldiers, but he just wanted to use He Zhang's prestige and ability to lead troops to make up for his own shortcomings in the art of war and military strategy, and by the way, he Zhang was used to block Youyou's mouth, but for the appointment and dismissal of the new army of soldiers, the final decision was naturally in his own hands.

However, for these thoughts, Zhao Junchen will never say them clearly.

In the end, Zhao Junchen said slowly: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" It is only an expedient measure for me to take over the military administration of Shaanxi and Gansu now, and the formation of a new army of soldiers is also an expedient measure to resist the Mongol invasion! Sooner or later, I will return to the center of the capital, and I have no idea of controlling the military power for a long time, and when this year's war is over, where will this new army go, I will ask for Your Majesty's will, everything is based on the attitude of the imperial court! …… General He, I know what you're worried about, but if I really have the idea of supporting the army and respecting myself, how can I deliberately let you command this strong army? Wouldn't it be better to find a general who is easy to control? ”

When he made his statement, Zhao Junchen looked bright and swearing, but only Zhao Junchen himself knew what he really thought!

At the same time, after hearing Zhao Junchen's explanation, everyone present also had different expressions.

For example, Li Ru'an, Guan Wuyuan, Niu Fude, Su Xiqing and others were all faintly disappointed, while Zheng Jiadong, Zhou Bo and others relaxed their expressions, while Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, Li Pi and others had complicated faces.

Zhao Junchen ignored the change in everyone's expressions and continued: "As for the issue of General He's authority after leading the troops...... I don't know the art of military strategy, so I naturally won't interfere in the training of soldiers and the deployment of the army, and the appointment, dismissal, rewards and punishments of low-level officers are all handed over to General He! However, it is still up to me to decide on the organization of the deployment of the new army, the operational objectives, and the appointment of high-ranking officers, but General He can also put forward his own suggestions as a reference...... What does General He think of such an arrangement? ”

Zhao Junchen is now leading the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the new army of soldiers was created by Zhao Junchen, and it is naturally impossible for He Zhang to completely abandon Zhao Junchen after accepting this army, and Zhao Junchen's attitude is already a big concession.

Therefore, He Zhang was also very satisfied after hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, and did not force more.

I saw He Zhang bow to Zhao Junchen and salute: "Since this is the case, the humble position will be relieved!" I also hope that Lord Qincha will forgive the recklessness and villain's thoughts, but if these things are not asked clearly, it is really not safe to lead the troops in the humble position! Since Lord Qincha is so open-minded and upright, the humble position will inevitably be the head of Lord Qincha in the future, and he will obey his orders! ”

He Zhang's words showed his loyalty to Zhao Junchen!

In fact, in He Zhang's thoughts, Zhao Junchen asked him to command the new army of soldiers as a matter of knowledge, and loyalty to Zhao Junchen was also a matter of course.

It's just that compared with Zhao Junchen, He Zhang is more loyal to the imperial court, and only after confirming that Zhao Junchen will not harm the interests of the imperial court will he be willing to express his obedience to Zhao Junchen!

On the other hand, after hearing He Zhang's statement, Zhao Junchen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and completely understood the reason why He Zhang has been repeatedly excluded over the years!

For a selfish official like Zhao Junchen, although He Zhang has the ability and loyalty, he really cannot be regarded as a confidant!

But on the surface, Zhao Junchen looked relieved, nodded and smiled: "In this case, from today onwards, the new army of soldiers will be entrusted to General He!" ”

Next, Zhao Junchen told He Zhang about the current situation of the new army.

In fact, Zhao Junchen's tolerance of He Zhang is not without reason, today's new army of soldiers has not been formed for a long time, and it is really a mess and chaos, and only a veteran of the battlefield like He Zhang can handle it properly!
