Chapter 222 System and People 1
Shenshi on September [-]th, Penglai Port.

The ships of the first fleet have set off for the Japanese country, and the deputy in charge of leading the fleet is still Zhu Lang.

Zhao Liang doesn't know where he has gone at this moment, and no information has been sent back.Gao Yuan, the director of the Naval Department, could not leave. Penglai could not be guarded by naval generals. In the event of a surprise attack from the Kingdom of Jin, there would be great chaos without naval generals.

"According to the original idea of ​​the alliance leader, the Military Management Department is responsible for military registration, daily training, recruit recruitment training, etc., and the Infantry Department and the Navy Department are responsible for the daily management of formal officers and soldiers and the execution of combat orders and combat plans during wartime. The issuance of combat orders and operations The plan is for the Staff Department. Now the director of the Staff Department is still concurrently held by the alliance leader. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for the two of us to change the alliance leader’s previous arrangements for the first fleet without authorization?” Gao Yuan, Director of the Naval Division, asked the Director of the Military Management Department Liu Lizhen asked.

"Not only is it inappropriate, I have seen the first draft of the military law formulated by the leader of the Luzhin Gang. It stipulates that without a combat order from the General Staff Department, officers are not allowed to change the combat plan without authorization. If the military law had not been implemented, both of us would have violated the law. Liu Lizhen replied.

"Then when the leader of the alliance comes back, I have to give him some advice. This military law is too rigid. 'If the general is outside, the emperor will not accept your orders.' When you go to the battlefield, victory or defeat is a matter of an instant. You must not miss the opportunity." If you don’t come back again, special circumstances should be allowed to be dealt with specially. I think this situation is very special." Gao Yuan muttered.

"It is not that there are no measures to deal with special situations. Lu Ren is formulating a law called the "Fundamental Law of the Xinghan League". I have asked for my advice before. This "Fundamental Law" belongs to the highest level of law of the Xinghan League. If If there are provisions in other laws that are contrary to the "Fundamental Law", the "Fundamental Law" will prevail. The "Fundamental Law" stipulates that the highest power of the Xinghan League belongs to the leader of the Xinghan League, and a 'Standing Council' will be established under the leader. When the leader is away or unable to make a decision, the 'Standing Council' will discuss and decide. If there are differences, the decision will be made by voting, and the decision with the most votes will be implemented." Liu Lizhen said.

"I don't understand what you mean by this? What does it have to do with the problem I'm facing now? The leader of the alliance asked me to arrange for the first fleet to run the Hangzhou-Dengzhou sea trade continuously, so as to accumulate more information to revitalize the Han Alliance before the chaos. , Now I have violated the leader's order and plan, you tell me the "Fundamental Law", the lip of the donkey is wrong." Gao Yuan complained.Although everyone else supported him in this matter, he was the one who gave the final order, and he was ultimately responsible for what went wrong.

All in all, he was the first person to disobey Liu Xinqi's orders since the founding of the Xinghan League and even since Liu Jiabao's migration.

"You are such a hot-tempered person. You interrupted me before I finished speaking." Liu Lizhen said.

"Okay, let's see what you can come up with." Gao Yuan knew that the boat was done, so he simply found a peg on the shore to sit down and listen to what Liu Lizhen had to say.

"What I want to talk about is the composition of this 'Standing Council'. The Basic Law stipulates that the 'Standing Council' is composed of the leader of the Xinghan League, three ministers of the Ministry of Affairs, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Law, and six department directors. These six The departments are Finance Department, Rites Department, Staff Department, Military Intelligence Department, Legislation Department and Supervision Department. Now the leader of the alliance concurrently serves as the Minister of Military Affairs and the Director-General of the Staff Department, and he is not in Penglai. The Law Department, Legislation Department and Supervision Department are all concurrently held by Lu Ren , the Secretary of Finance is the mother of the alliance leader, Minister of Political Affairs Luo Cheng, Director of the Department of Liturgy Zhou Xinyuan, Director of the Military Intelligence Department Liu Xinbao, these people are all in Penglai now. In other words, there are six people who can join the 'Standing Council'. Five people are all in Penglai. Two of these five people must support you. The mother of the alliance leader must also support you for the safety of the alliance leader. Only Luo Cheng and Lu Ren are left." Liu Lizhen explained: "Now Do you understand?"

"I understand. What you said so much means that if I am really blamed by the alliance leader, let me recruit these heavyweights to intercede on my behalf, right?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Absolutely. It can be seen from the composition of the 'Standing Council' that these people have the highest status in the alliance leader's future plans, and their words naturally carry the most weight." Liu Lizhen replied.

"Will you two help me?" Gao Yuan looked at Zhou Xinyuan and Liu Xinbao who were present. The two people had only listened and refused to speak, giving people the illusion that "the matter has nothing to do with them."

"You disobeyed orders this time out of public intention and not for selfish reasons. You should not be punished. I will definitely support you." Zhou Xinyuan assured.

"This time it was also because our Military Intelligence Department failed to perform its duties, which put the leader of the alliance in danger. You cannot resist alone. I will definitely support you." Liu Xinbao also promised.The two people's guarantees did not dispel Gao Yuan's concerns. Instead, he sighed: "This politics is really mind-consuming. I am a straight-laced person and really can't accept it. Now that the leader of the alliance may be in danger, of course we, as subordinates, must do whatever it takes." Go save me, why now I feel like I was totally wrong." Gao Yuan was helpless.

"I'll go find Lu Ren first. He's easier to talk to." After saying that, he said goodbye to everyone and headed towards Penglai City.

Gao Yuan has always been a military general with a loyal and upright character. He couldn't stand the Penglai officials betraying Zhao and succumbing to the puppet Qi Dynasty before he revolted and joined the Xinghan League. Unexpectedly, now that he has a high status in the Xinghan League, he still has to face this kind of situation. The choice between loyalty and system.

"Did we make a mistake?" Liu Xinbao murmured. He was young and did not understand that it would be wrong to send people to save the alliance leader.

"Hey, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, but I understand the alliance leader. He will definitely not agree to us changing the previously planned plan in order to save him." Liu Lizhen replied.

……

"Why don't you bring anything?" Ji Ji asked curiously when he saw that Xu Han was still empty-handed.

"I'm just going for a walk. I'll stay for one night at most. I don't need to bring anything with me." Xu Han replied.

People in this era did not have special toiletries, nor did they have the conditions and habits to change clothes every day.

"Okay then, I looked for a car. It's forty miles from Penglai to Baishiwan. It can be reached in half a day by car." Jiang Binhui reported.

Standing in the courtyard, Xu Han could see a large car parked outside the gate.

"Okay, let's go now."

The two got in the car and headed towards the East Gate of Penglai. The car walked to the small square inside the East Gate. Xu Han saw three large cars parked beside the square. The boards of these three large cars were all very wide and long. , and it has a shed roof, but there are only two horses pulling the cart in front, and they are both rogue horses.

"What is this for pulling? It's so big. If it's full, can the horses pulling the cart move it?" Xu Han asked.
