Chapter 2268 Gui Zi Juan: Time has changed, the past and the present are the same
Feng Ziying feels that she has entered the state faster than expected. This is due to the fact that Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang are both newcomers, and they both have the intention to quickly change the current situation of the company.
They basically reached an agreement on the arrangement of the Liaodong battle. In the Shanxi battle, Feng Ziying's magical strokes made both Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang very satisfied, and they also admired Feng Ziying's proactive preparation.
Not just anyone can have such outstanding foresight and courage and ambition. The Tongguan Guards were so important that even the Shaanxi Governor did not dare to move lightly. As soon as Feng Ziying left, he dared to send out Tongguan Guards and cross the river across the province to occupy another city. , which involves considerable risk.
Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang both expressed their dissatisfaction in a subtle way with the imperial court and the Nanjing peace talks. They were not dissatisfied with this matter, but with the Ministry of War's lack of understanding of the specific content and progress of the peace talks. The three of them had the same interests and views. It can also represent the thoughts of some people in the Ministry of War.
After communicating with the doctor and the doctor, and studying the most important matters, Feng Ziying also mentioned some matters that may not seem to be the most urgent now, but may play a role in the future.
For example, Phi Island and Jeju Island, as well as issues with North Korea, such as the constraints on Mongolian tribes through Shanxi merchants and intelligence collection issues, and the reconstruction of the intelligence network in Yarkand and Uszang in the Western Regions, as well as issues with Japan and Issues regarding the construction of the intelligence collection system in Nanyang.
These are theoretically one of the two major functions of the staff department, staff planning and intelligence analysis. Staff planning also needs to be based on complete intelligence support. Without intelligence, how can staff planning be carried out?
This series of ideas put forward by Feng Ziying shocked Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang. Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying was already considering these issues on the first day he arrived, and the considerations were so far-reaching, and he even talked about some practical and concrete measures. They had to let them The heads of the two functional departments are feeling the pressure.
This boss is not someone who is easy to fool. If he puts it forward today, he will have a set of specific opinions in ten days. This forces Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang to take action immediately, and several principals have to be We need to convene to study how to come up with targeted countermeasures.
After the discussion between Zifang and Si came to an end, Feng Ziying called Fang Kezhuang over.
The affairs of the Arsenal Department are simpler than those of the Staff Division, but the Arsenal Department is also the department that needs the most innovation.
The evolution from cold weapons to hot weapons has become a well-known direction, but how does the Arsenal Department welcome this change, how does it lead the development direction of new weapons and equipment, and how does it coordinate with ordnance and armor manufacturing workshops, or manufacturers? The mechanism of co-prosperity is also a new topic.
"Brother Yang Chu, we are destined to be together. After going round and round, we have to meet up at the Ministry of War. Now it's time for us to join hands and do something good, right?" Feng Ziying looked at the still a little reserved person happily. The room can be strong.
Fang Kezhuang was originally going to be transferred to the Tongzhi of Guangping Prefecture, but at the last moment, he joined the Ministry of War.
Feng Ziying doesn’t know what the reason is, but it cannot be attributed to the efforts of Fang Kezhuang’s benefactor, Wang Yongguang, but Feng Ziying still has some regrets.
You must know that he and Fang Kezhuang had made an agreement at that time, and Fang Kezhuang himself was willing to go. However, it has to be said that compared with the doctor in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, the fellow magistrate of Guangping Prefecture seemed inferior, especially in terms of future development. The future is definitely brighter in the Ministry of War.
Fang Kezhuang breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he did not go to Guangping and came to the Ministry of War. He still felt a little guilty for Feng Ziying, but faced with Wang Yongguang's support, he could not refuse, not to mention that the Ministry of War was indeed better than Going to Guangping had a bright future, and he had no reason to refuse.
However, he is still very grateful to Feng Ziying for his high regard, and the cooperation between the two in Shuntian Mansion is quite satisfactory.
Feng Ziying didn't have much opinion on Fang Kezhuang. In that situation, she might have chosen the Ministry of War. It was normal for people to go to higher places, not to mention that the relationship between herself and Fang Kezhuang was not as close as this. The state of Lian Guoshi, Zheng Chongjian and others is similar to that of Pan Ruzhen, Xu Junyang, Xia Zhiling and others.
"It is also an honor for me to work with you again. I am afraid that the situation in the Arsenal Department is more difficult than you imagined. It was only after I came here that I learned about the difficulties of the current situation of the Department of War. In addition, I was also very concerned about the Ministry of War." I am not familiar with the affairs, I am just crossing the river by feeling the stones. With an adult to guide me, I feel much more at ease."
Feng Ziying would rather use the original Fang Kezhuang than the current cautious Fang Kezhuang.
"Yang Chu, this is not your style in my impression. Why are you so reserved and cautious all of a sudden? Although I don't know as much about the situation in the Arsenal Department as you do, I do know a little bit about it. There are definitely difficulties and challenges, but Now that you are here, you have to do something. I think you have to do well in the position of the arsenal doctor, and I am afraid you have to have the momentum to be the magistrate of Tongzhou. If you are like that just now, I think it will be too much."
Feng Ziying’s unceremonious reprimand made Fang Kezhuang sweat in his vest.
It was only when I came to the Ministry of War that I realized that the water here was too deep. A doctor in the Department of Arms had ministers, ministers, and ministers around him. He also had to deal with the Ministry of Households at any time. He couldn't afford to offend any of them, and anyone could do it. Cause trouble for you.
Fang Kezhuang didn't pay much attention to it when he first came here. He suffered several setbacks in his work, which made him unable to express his sufferings. Especially when the minister was absent, he had to face the minister directly.
Zhang Huaichang can't manage in such detail. If you only ask about the results and can't get results, it means that you, the doctor, are incompetent, so Fang Kezhuang is under great pressure and he has become a lot older.
Seeing Fang Kezhuang with a wry smile on his face and hesitating to speak, Feng Ziying waved her hand: "I don't care what happened to you during this period, but when I come, you have to follow my style and rhythm. I appreciate your originality." I don’t like your current style of doing things, which is only forward-looking and backward-looking. Please change it immediately. If you have any problems or difficulties, bring them up. Let’s discuss and discuss them together, one by one, one by one. List them in order of priority. If you put forward your opinion, I will make the decision. If you cannot make a reasonable opinion, it is your responsibility. If I cannot make the decision, I will go to the minister. If the decision cannot be implemented after the decision is made, it is my problem,..."
Feng Ziying’s words were sonorous and not sloppy in the slightest.
After hammering out some words and getting to the point, Fang Kezhuang’s energy and spirit suddenly became different.
"The Arsenal Department is still doing things step by step. The muskets and artillery mentioned by the adults, as well as the casting technology specifically used for artillery, including the summary and promotion of related lathes and mold technologies, as well as the concept of confidentiality, are in The Department of Arsenal is still very unfamiliar. To be honest, including me, I still have a little understanding of it..."
Fang Kezhuang's self-exposure of his ugliness actually changed Feng Ziying's impression of him a lot. He was a little depressed and silent before, but after being reprimanded and enlightened by himself, he finally felt a little better. If he really wants to be like just now, then he must really do it. Changed.
"Brother Yangchu, you should be more open-minded. The responsibility of the Arsenal Department is weapons and armor. Fireguns and artillery are replacing spears, swords and shields. This is an indisputable fact. But look at the fireguns in our army. The three-eyed fireguns There are still a lot of inferior goods. Weapons such as matchlocks and hawk-billed guns that are already routine among the Westerners have not yet become popular here. However, self-made fireguns are becoming popular among the Westerners, but they are still luxuries here. , the output of the Gyeonggi military-industrial complex that is currently capable of mass production is frighteningly low, and the yield rate is even more worrying..."
"How can the Arsenal team up with these workshops that are willing to cooperate with the imperial court to develop, optimize, and innovate new weapons? I think you need to consider some ideas. You can't just ask them to introduce Western craftsmen. Of course, introducing Western craftsmen will It will be inevitable for a long time in the future, but we also need to cultivate our professional craftsmen. In addition, the Western craftsmen can basically understand some knowledge of objects, but our craftsmen are almost illiterate. I am afraid this also requires Consider nurturing it from an early age..."
To be honest, Fang Kezhuang was not a suitable doctor in the Arsenal Division. In Feng Ziying's mind, Xu Guangqi should be. However, it was obviously impossible for Xu Guangqi to be a doctor in the Arsenal Division. It would be most suitable for him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
But the taller among the dwarfs, Fang Kezhuang is willing to accept his own point of view, is willing to try, and do things. This is enough.
To completely change these concepts cannot be accomplished in a year or two, nor can it be accomplished by the Department of Arsenal or the Ministry of War alone. This involves the reform of the entire imperial education system.
Feng Ziying thinks that she can’t do it now. It would take a lot of energy to make some subtle changes quietly and subtly.
The effect of the conversation with Fang Kezhuang was pretty good. It was not as good as the conversation with Yang Sichang and Yuan Huazhong, but it was still not satisfactory. The next step is to continue to instill this concept into Fang Kezhuang and persevere to change this group of people. concept.
This day has been extremely fulfilling, but this is only the first step, a rough understanding and communication, when it comes to more specific and complex matters, Feng Ziying knows that she will face more challenges.
However, he has already made mental preparations and is doing things one by one. He is not afraid that anyone will obstruct or delay him. He will change people without changing his thinking. In his previous life, he was a district mayor, a secretary, and a member of the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee. This kind of thing has been done too much, and it is still the same now, and it is the same in ancient and modern times.
