After a while, Guan Zhuofan broke the silence and said: "What you said is right, most of the officials in Xinjiang's provinces, departments, prefectures, and counties really have to ask for them in the mainland, and they really have to be carefully selected one by one - they are willing to endure hardships, can work, and are not harsh or cruel to the people under their rule." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After a pause, "It sounds like this thing is really not easy to do-"

Speaking of this, he turned to Guo Songtao and said with a smile: "However, there is still a way - just to walk from Yunxian." ”

Even Guo Songtao, everyone was slightly stunned: What do you mean? It doesn't work...... Tell Guo Dajunji to go to Xinjiang to be a "provincial, departmental, government, and county official", this, "set an example"!

Of course not.

"I think," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "Xinjiang is a province, and the officials of the provinces, departments, prefectures, and counties should try to go from the 'Dispatch Division' of the 'Advisory Committee'." ”

Yes......

Everyone was stunned, no wonder they said, "You want to get up from Yunxian" -- Guo Yunxian is the "chairman of the advisory committee"!

It's just that although it is nominally hung under the "Gu Committee", everyone knows that the "Dispatch Division", a "small official department", really belongs directly to Prince Xuan, and Guo Yunxian, the "chairman", is actually out of control, so Guan Zhuofan said that "he wants to get up from Yunxian", and even Guo Songtao himself did not think of the "Dispatch Division".

Think about it, though...... What a good way to go!

"Good!" Cao Yuying was the first to agree, "Most of the people who came out of the 'Dispatch Division' are retired meritorious personnel of the Xuan Army, and the hardship will definitely be endured!" Also, this group of people has followed the prince for many years, and with the prince's guidance and training, their ethics must be good! ”

Although it is not without the suspicion of boasting, Xuan Jun's "ability to endure hardships" and "good conduct" are indeed recognized.

There is no objection to "being able to endure hardships" -- the training of the Xuan army is known for its harshness, and in addition to one rest every seven days, the training is carried out every day, and not a single day is in vain, and those who come out of the Xuan army even if they have never fought a war, in the words of the Xuan army himself, are called "dead and alive."

In this respect, it is difficult for any other Chinese army to match it. Therefore, there is no one who comes out of the Xuan army who cannot endure hardships.

As for ethics, although not all of them are as clear as water, on the whole, Xuan Jun must have been the most incorruptible group in China at that time.

"The prince's discipline and training" is one of the important reasons; The strictest military discipline in China, and even in the world, is the second important reason; In addition, there is another important reason -- Xuanjun was the highest-paid group in China at that time, and the probability of corruption was much less than that of other groups.

Of course, if you retire and go to the local government through the "Adjustment Division" and "Transfer" to become a local official, you will not get the salary of Xuanjun, but the "incorruptible silver" that is not visible to everyone.

However, everyone knows that Xuan Jun has a "Xuan Jun Disability Fund" that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and in addition to taking care of his truly disabled comrades, he also specially solves the "worries" of this group of "retired meritorious personnel". Further, the "demand" for corruption is not as great as that of other officials.

"The establishment of the 'Dispatch Division'," Guan Zhuofan said, "the original intention was to correct the shortcomings of the scribes and divide the power of the officials; In addition, needless to say, there is also some intention to collect power from the local governor. ”

Several big military planes were slightly shocked in their hearts.

"The disadvantages of correcting the scribes and dividing the power of the officials" is a clear road long ago; However, "taking power from the local governors" was only tacit in the minds of the monarchs and cardinals, and it was the first time that a meeting was held, although it was only an "internal meeting" of the Military Aircraft Department, was openly "unabashed."

"That being the case," Guan Zhuofan continued, "Naturally, some people don't like the 'Dispatch Division', and it didn't take long for some strange words of 'Guan Xuan' or 'Xuan Xuan' to come out. Alas, the mouth grows on other people's heads, and I can't stop it, so I have to have two words - 'whatever'! ”

Prince Xuan's words are high-sounding, although everyone knows that Prince Xuan has stuffed a lot of his own private goods in the "Adjustment Division", but he can't help but express his position-

"The prince is upright and selfless," Wen Xiang said, "why bother with some ignorant and ignorant discussions?" ”

"What Bochuan said was," Guan Zhuofan said, "I said, 'whatever'! ”

After a pause, "But, to tell you the truth, the 'Dispatch Division' did occupy a few good positions, so it's no wonder that someone wants to say a few strange things-"

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, "However, this time, it should be a little different." Xinjiang's official difficulties, we have already discussed it; The vast majority of Xinjiang's provinces, departments, prefectures, and counties have to be classified as 'rushing, complicated, tired, and difficult', and they are not comparable to the 'rushing, complicated, tired, and difficult' in the hinterland! This time, hehe, no one should complain anymore, the 'Dispatch Division' blocked their way and robbed them of their seats, right? ”

Several big military planes were slightly embarrassed to laugh a few times with "hehe".

The appointment of Xuanjun as a "retired meritorious person" in Xinjiang's provinces, departments, prefectures, and counties was thus decided.

In fact, this is the first large-scale practice of his strategy of "demobilized military cadres" -- hum, I want to ask you, the "traditional gentry," to see the power of the big killer weapon of "demobilized military cadres"!

In this time and space, Xuanjun was the first group in China's history to train and organize with industrialized thinking and methods, and its members are the best administrative talents who can be used in large quantities for China's large-scale industrialization.

In fact, in the original time and space, this kind of cadre reserve is one of the most important reasons why TG has been able to build a complete skeleton of industrialization - and heavy industrialization - in just a few decades.

Now, let me steal a teacher.

Some people think that the vast majority of Xinjiang's deficiencies are, of course, first-class "rushing, complicated, tired, and difficult," but since the governor is a person of the "Xuan line," the provinces, departments, prefectures, and counties under him are all "Xuan," and only one political envoy is a person of the "Hunan line," then among all the provinces in the country, there is no more complete control of the "Xuan system" over a province than in Xinjiang!

Prince Xuan did not shy away from the fact that the "team" of the whole Xinjiang was all from the "Xuan line".

"Although, the vast majority of Xinjiang's shortcomings are 'rushing, complicated, tired, and difficult'," Guan Zhuofan said, "However, there will inevitably be people who say that in this way, Xinjiang can be controlled by the 'Xuan system'......"

Yes?

Someone couldn't help but blush slightly--didn't the prince get into my stomach......

"But, gossip, I can't take care of it!" Guan Zhuofan said, "I use the retired personnel of the Xuan Army as officials of Xinjiang and other places, and there is another layer of extremely important intention-"

After a pause, his voice became low, "In the eighth year of Xianfeng, the tenth year of Xianfeng, and the third year of Tongzhi, we signed several treaties with the Russians-"

Several big military planes have a sinking heart.

In the eighth year of Xianfeng, that is, in 1858, the Treaty of Aihui.

In the tenth year of Xianfeng, that is, in 1860, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing.

In the third year of Tongzhi, that is, in 1864, the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary".

"Let's not talk about the 'Aihui Treaty' and the 'Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty'," Guan Zhuofan said, "That's a matter of the Northeast, let's just say the 'Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary', this is a matter of the Northwest-"

After a slight pause, "I roughly calculated, "The Sino-Russian Exploration and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary Treaty", the Russians took 440,000 square kilometers of land from us, about ...... Well, three more Anhui. ”

Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo all opened their eyes wide.

What "square kilometer" is, several large military aircraft know; "Sino-Russian Exploration and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary Treaty", we have suffered losses, and we also know it, but-

440,000 square kilometers, three Anhui!

True...... Is it really that big?

Why is Prince Xuan so good?

As I have said before, China in this era lacks the concept and means of "digital management", nor does it have the concept of territory in the modern sense, and the national borders in the distant northeast and northwest are very vague in theory and reality, and strictly speaking, there is no "line" in the geometric sense.

In the Treaty of Aihui, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, and the Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, there is only a brief description of the names and directions of the rivers, mountains, and karens, i.e., the outposts, without any specific figures on distance and height.

Therefore, the Chinese signatories of these treaties, as well as other Chinese rulers, know that they have suffered a loss in the demarcation of the border between China and Russia, but they do not know how much they have suffered.

"If you add the Treaty of Aihui and the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing," Guan Zhuofan continued, "several demarcations, added together, the Russians occupy more of us...... Well, a whole 1.4 million square kilometers! Approximately...... Hey, ten Anhui! ”

Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo's breathing began to grow rapid.

Guan Zhuofan looked at them and smiled faintly, "You guys are strange, where did these numbers come from?" Hehe, in the far north and west, surveying the size of the distance and the near and far, drawing accurate maps, we don't have this ability; But the Russians have! These figures were calculated by the Russians themselves! ”

Wen, Cao, Xu, and Guo all have considerable faces, some are red, some are green, and some are white.

"These treaties," Guan Zhuofan said, "the Russians are taking advantage of the danger of others: the Treaty of Aihui is taking advantage of the fact that the British and the French have turned their faces against us and robbed us while the fire is burning; The "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" can simply be regarded as an alliance under the city - we signed the "Beijing Treaty" with the British and the French, and the Russians also squeezed in to insert a lever; The "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary" took advantage of the turmoil and turmoil, and the entire northwest was full of smoke, and Xinjiang was in fact completely out of control.

breathed a sigh of relief, "The strength is not as good as others, there is nothing to be done!" If I'm in charge, these treaties will probably have to be signed correctly-"

Speaking of this, the muscles on Guan Zhuofan's face twitched, "Therefore, these accounts, we can't deny them for the time being-"

After a pause, his face had become hideous, and words were squeezed out from between his teeth, word by word: "But, do we have to admit it for a lifetime?!" ”
