Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Chief of Staff Yang Wangui thought for a while and said, "They still reported this matter. They said that before entering Jiangxi, Yuan Ni's Jiangxi Governor Li Chun united the local local tyrants and bullies in Jiangxi and organized the militia armed forces in their hands into The fourth division of the Jiangxi army. The army composed of these local snakes caused a lot of trouble for our advance, and finally fought a decisive battle in Ji'an and Cheng Qian's fourth assault group. However, these troops were in the fourth division Liao Lei's firepower immediately defeated the army, and the [-] enemies mentioned in the victory report were actually this army."

"Tyrants and bullies?" Wang Zhenyu's train of thought was really jumping. He was talking about annihilating [-] enemies just now, and now he jumped to the bullies and local tyrants.It seems that it is not unreasonable for the Jiangxi region to become a place where a single spark can start a prairie fire in history. Just having such a group of local tyrants and bullies who do not respect the law, the class contradictions in this place are enough to provide enough soil for the red revolution.

After much deliberation, Wang Zhenyu realized that this matter should not be taken lightly. If it cannot be resolved, then the peasants alone will be enough to drink a pot by themselves.But how to solve it?To live or die, that is the question.

After Wang Zhenyu thought about it for a while, he decided to let it go. After all, he had more important things to do here, so he turned to Wang Chenhao and said, "Chenhao, call me and ask Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhou for me tonight." Eat at Wenlu, by the way, call Lao Wuyi together."

Then he said to Yang Wangui: "Old Yang, didn't Song Haomin from the Armed Mobilization Department say he would come with you today? Where is he?"

Yang Wangui hurriedly said: "Commander, Haomin came with me, and is waiting for your summoning in the waiting room."

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said, "Let him in..."

As Wang Zhenyu's first secretary, Song Haomin came to see Wang Zhenyu in a different mood now.Back then, Wang Zhenyu was like a big brother next door, but now?He is already a marshal admired by thousands of people, with nearly 30 armed forces under his command, holding territory in five provinces, and he may even challenge Beijing to win the central government.

Although Song Haomin is now a division officer, Wang Zhenyu is no longer something he can see whenever he wants to.

"Haomin, I haven't seen you coming to my place recently, is the Armed Mobilization Department very busy?" Wang Zhenyu saw Song Haomin, but he was still the same, which made Song Haomin feel warm.

"Thanks to the Marshal, all the work of the Armed Mobilization Department is progressing smoothly. Next, we plan to make a series of adjustments to the recruit base. The plan is still under discussion and will be reported to Mr. Yang of the General Staff Department later."

Hearing this, Wang Zhenyu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you have to redefine this plan, and it must be implemented as soon as possible. For your armed mobilization department, I have a few new requirements: first, the scale of the recruit base must be expanded, and additional , 801 base is located in Qiancheng, 802 base is located in Liuzhou, 803 base is located in Nanning, 804 base is located in Guangzhou, 805 base is located in Changsha, 806 base is located in Nanchang, 807 base is located in Jiujiang, 808 base is located in Hengyang. The level of these bases has all been upgraded to the deputy division level, and the capacity is all set at 4. These bases are planned to be put into operation in April this year, or a batch of half a year. In the future, the size of the standing army of the Youth Army is planned to remain at 48 to 72 Between [-] people, depending on whether the service period is three years or five years. In addition, for the current number one task of your armed mobilization department, my idea is to form four recruit divisions as supplementary troops to replenish the front line at any time. All of you Remember, Jiangxi and Hubei are just appetizers, and what we are going to do next in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas is the decisive battle that will determine the future political structure of China and the fate of our youth army itself."

Wang Zhenyu then looked at Yang Wangui and said, "I've been thinking about the second phase of the battle for a long time. Lao Yang, it's better to hurry up and launch it. Otherwise, when Feng Guozhang and the others in Nanjing are fully prepared, the price we have to pay will be high. Established The Southeast Front Army, this time, appointed Li Zongren as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Front Army, and Bai Chongxi as the Chief of Staff of the Front Army and the commander of the front enemy. In addition to the existing three divisions, Tao Zhiyue's first division and Liao Lei's fourth division were included. Give them full authority and tell them that this battle can only be won but not defeated, and there is no need for no pressure, you all go to work! I will tell Ma Xicheng that they will do their best to ensure the supply of the front line."

Yang Wangui and Song Haomin hurriedly got up to salute and left. . .

The Wenlu dinner was very interesting, it was said to be a banquet, but Ye Ziwen was not invited to accompany him. Yang Wangui planned to discuss Jiangxi issues with Zhou Zhiyun, Ye Zuwen and others at the dinner table.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhou, I invite you to dinner today because I actually want to talk about the administrative issues of the newly conquered Hubei and Jiangxi provinces."

Zhou Zhiyun seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Although Wang Zhenyu's victory was a bit astonishing, as a senior member of the National Socialist Party and a representative of Hongshang, he still had the awareness to participate in the dividend.So these days, politicians from the Hongshang faction headed by Zhou Zhiyun and politicians from the Phoenix faction headed by the Tian family frequently meet secretly in Hongjiang to drink tea.Naturally, these things cannot be concealed from the righteous eyes of the Party Affairs Investigation Department (Wang Zhenyu thought to himself, when did Zhou Lan and your department become the eyes of justice?), so the content of the meeting was continuously sent to Zhou Lan. Seeing no reactionary words or deeds, it was just a routine notification to the attendants.

Zhou Zhiyun didn't know that Wang Zhenyu's spies had already lurked beside his people. At this moment, he still responded with political enthusiasm and ambition: "May I ask what the commander-in-chief has plans, we all just cooperate."

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said: "This time in Jiangxi, our youth army encountered some troubles. Specifically, the local landlords are a little different from our Hunan landlords. They worship power and don't talk much about nostalgia. So Jiangxi area Because the social conflicts caused by land and feudal clan rights are a bit big, this is not good for the future rule of our National Socialist Party.”

Ye Zuwen hesitated for a moment and said: "Wenzheng, there is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, what we have practiced is that the county cannot be governed. We are in Xiangxi and Guangxi. The county is also governed by the county. Are we in Jiangxi? Do you want to continue this policy?"

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said: "I will continue to implement the rule of the county by people. This is also the legal basis for the legitimacy of our regime. What I want to change now is not this, but a thorough reform of the land system."

As soon as they heard that the land was involved, Zhou Zhiyun, Ye Zuwen, and Wang Zhenbang all took out their pencils and notebooks and started to record.

"In Xiangxi and Guangxi, we adopted the method of exchanging land for bonds or shares. Through the fisherman's association, the entire countryside was transformed into a farm, and a large number of rural people were attracted to work in factories. This population in Xiangxi and Guangxi Of course, it is possible in limited places, but everyone should pay attention. In densely populated areas such as Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong, it may not be possible to play like this. Especially in Jiangxi, we may need to resort to a little violence, through land bonds and fish farmers We will use a combination of methods to forcibly separate land ownership and use rights, and redistribute all land. And not only the issue of land distribution, we must further attack, weaken feudal clan rights, and establish an independent judicial system , so that it can effectively adjust social relations and maintain social order. However, these tasks are carried out only by the task force composed of passionate young people from the National Socialist Party. So easy to knead. So Zhou Gong, I have thought for a long time, the so-called patrolling embassy actually no longer exists, I plan to appoint Ye Gong as the acting governor of Hubei Province, and you are the acting governor of Jiangxi Province. The implementation of the work will also explore a set of methods for other regional regimes to accept in the future."

Zhou Zhiyun hesitated for a moment, nodded and accepted the new appointment, and then asked anxiously: "Then how will the government affairs at your level be handled, Commander?"

Wang Zhenyu shook his head and said: "Before the establishment of the new government, I used the army to take over the government, and the local government took care of itself. The only government affairs I have here are to cooperate with military operations. As for local construction, I consider building on the basis of the original Xiangxi and Guangxi development companies. A new China Development Corporation was established, with Mr. Ye serving as the president and Guowei as the general manager. As for the government affairs of the provinces, I have a preliminary idea, and everyone will explore and improve the specifics. Yamen, there is only one province with a government office, and there is a security detachment. There are eight government offices in each province. This is a rule, so it is easy to manage. If there is no opinion, it will be decided. I will leave it to everyone. As for Zhenbang, this time you follow Mr. Zhou went to Jiangxi to participate in the land reform, so he should learn from Mr. Zhou, you know?"

Wang Zhenbang nodded quickly and said, "Understood, third brother..."

Chapter 238 The Eve of the Final Battle ([-])

After the settlement of the matters in Jiangxi and Hubei got a glimpse, Wang Zhenyu took the time to meet with Ma Xicheng again. Ma Xicheng had essentially become the chief steward of the youth army. It is planned to build two large military reclamation farms in Dongting Lake Plain and Jianghan Plain.

Wang Zhenyu's attitude towards the so-called military farms is actually very cautious. He doesn't really want to implement this decision, but the reality is before him. It is enough to quickly collapse the new regime established by oneself.

This point has been gradually exposed as the youth army's victories have been gradually exposed. There was a food shortage in the Changsha area due to the military disaster. For this reason, the youth army had to open up its own military grain to stabilize the market price.This also led to why the second phase of the operation failed to start in time after the first phase was completed on the 24th.So when Ma Xicheng reported the plan to build a large-scale military farm again, Wang Zhenyu became hesitant.

"Cousin, if your plan is really implemented, how will the millions or even tens of millions of farmers in the local area be resettled and turned into employees of military farms? Then how many problems will be accumulated in a few years, do you know? ? Does your Ministry of Armaments have any plans for this?" Wang Zhenyu, who has experienced the so-called "labor period" in later generations, is very worried about anything involving collectivization. The reason is very simple. Countless good people will eventually become funeral objects of this system.Now that you know the disadvantages, can you avoid them or avoid them when you use them again.

"Wenzheng, I don't know why you are so disgusted with this matter. Turning farmers into workers is more reliable than relying on the fisherman's association to protect and guide them. For us, it is better to hold the food in our own hands than what It's all safe." Ma Xicheng was also a little anxious: "We can't just do nothing just because we are worried about the possibility of future population growth and the problem of raising lazy people?"

The last sentence of Ma Xicheng woke Wang Zhenyu up from his thinking, yes, his thinking has always been that he was worried that the expansion of party power would lead to corruption like corruption, and that he would blindly implement the corruption system because he was worried that the centralization system would become poisonous. , Now it is even more because they are worried about the outcome of future generations that they refuse to collectivize the economy.So it seems that I am a bit timid in doing things. All the systems did not come out of thin air, they all appeared according to the needs of the development of productive forces at that time. No matter how rubbish this system becomes in later generations, at least there was its progress at that time. sex and rationality.I blindly suppress it, and I always demand that one step is in place. Now because the youth army is strong enough, I can't see any problems. If there is a problem, it may be a big problem.

It seemed that he was wrong this time, Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized.In the past few years, I have been going smoothly, so it is inevitable that I will be a bit arbitrary in doing things, not to mention others, I am afraid that I don't think much about the interests of the people under my command.Things have developed to this day, and I don't know how many people are dissatisfied with me.

Maybe he really wasn't made to be a politician, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sighed.

Ma Xicheng thought that Wang Zhenyu was in trouble because of his plan, so he also sighed.

Hearing Ma Xicheng's sigh, Wang Zhenyu was stunned, thought about it and laughed again: "It's okay, cousin, I agree to this plan, but the content in it needs to be changed. All the agriculture in these places should be militarized." It is very dangerous and will arouse strong resistance from the local people. Therefore, we have changed our approach. The first is to buy the land from the landlord; the second is to distribute the land to the farmers with conditions; In [-], the planting of agricultural products here was planned and purchased by us in a unified manner. As compensation, they bought seeds and I borne the cost of farming cattle. This Dongting Lake and Jianghan Plain will be our army's military agricultural orders from now until ten years later It is strictly forbidden to trade with units other than our army. As for the grain produced, set a qualified standard, and only pay if it meets the standard, otherwise it will be rejected. What do you think? Cousin."

After hearing this, Ma Xicheng took a deep breath and said, "Wen Zheng, your plan sounds reasonable, but is it really practical? This is completely an idealized product."

Ma Xicheng was really angry. My cousin is now the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands. Why is he still not thinking about his brothers at this time? If it really happened that day he lost control and messed up the situation That would really be the end of the kingdom of life and death.

Although Wang Zhenyu didn't have a good temper, he was a person who knew what was good and what was bad. What he heard from Ma Xicheng's blunt confrontation was concern and a little worry.At this time, he felt warm in his heart, and naturally he would not be angry because of it.

"Is it necessary for military development?" Wang Zhenyu asked unwillingly.

Ma Xicheng nodded silently: "Without military reclamation, the feudal clan relations in these places will not be broken, and the food security of our army will never be guaranteed. If we abandon the interests of millions of people, we will keep tens of millions of people in the future." Benefits. Wen Zheng, this woman’s benevolence is unattainable, and the wealth and life of the brothers below are all at the mercy of you.”

Wang Zhenyu opened up the plan, and finally made a fine-tuning of the proportion, all the land in each county was classified as military reclamation, and half of it was designated as military reclamation.Ma Xicheng could only smile wryly at this, and then saluted and left to execute.

According to Ma Xicheng's plan, in the next five years, a youth army of 50 people will be formed on the Jianghan Plain in Hubei and the Dongting Lake Plain in Hunan.A full 1500 million mu of fertile land will be owned by the army, and the lives of more than 130 million agricultural laborers and nearly 300 million family members who originally cultivated these lands will undergo tremendous changes because of this policy.They will lose their qualifications to continue farming these lands. All they can do is serve as soldiers and find other ways to work.According to the recruitment plan, 40 young and middle-aged men will be absorbed by the Construction Corps. The income of these people can prevent at least one million family members from being displaced and starving to death on the streets.In addition, it is estimated that more than 100 adult agricultural laborers and 80 million family members will experience major problems in their lives.

Wang Zhenyu has been struggling with this matter. According to his own vision, half of these surplus rural laborers will be absorbed by the industrial construction in Wuhan, Changsha, Zhuzhou, Hengyang and other places, and the remaining half that cannot be absorbed may be absorbed after he completes the national unification. Sent to Xinjiang and other Northwest regions to join the Northwest Land Reclamation and Construction Corps.

But the plan belongs to the plan, no matter how perfect one's own ideas are, there is often no guarantee of execution.Wang Zhenyu really didn't dare to think about how many people would end up with their families ruined and their wives separated because of this policy.So he can only tell Ma Xicheng again and again, don't rush, come in batches, be as thorough as possible, and don't cause anger and grievances.

Just when Wang Zhenyu was thinking about the future of himself, the National Socialist Party and the Youth Army, a group of merchants from the north disembarked in Anjiang. . .

Lei Zhenchun really put his heart into doing things this time, and all the elites in the entire Jingshi Military, Political and Law Enforcement Office were mobilized by them.In Lei Zhenchun's words, you bastards who eat people all day long and don't shit on people, now it's time for you to repay President Yuan.

In order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Lei Zhenchun even excluded all the personnel recruited after the attack on the Jingshi Law Enforcement Office from the formulation of the action plan, and at the same time secretly contacted third-party forces.Because of Du Yuesheng's relationship, Lei Zhenchun did not dare to go to the Hongmen relationship of the Youth Gang, but chose the Japanese special high school.

The Super High School was established at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Japan.Initially, the Super High School was an institution to deal with domestic affairs, but with the needs of Japan's invasion of China and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually change the function of the Super High School.A more obvious sign is that officials of Japanese embassies and consulates in foreign countries are engaged in intelligence work while also cooperating with other espionage agencies in espionage activities.There is a special high-level section in the "Japanese Consulate Police Department" in various parts of Japan to be responsible for the spy activities and espionage activities of invading China.For example, the famous Sorge Soviet spy case was solved by the special high-level class.Before the super high class was established in China, the Japanese had already started large-scale intelligence gathering activities in China.The most representative one is the Japanese Black Dragon Club, which is widely active in mainland China. In 1906, Japan set up the "Yijinhui" in North Korea to spy on North Korea's secrets. This organization made great contributions to Japan's annexation of North Korea.Since then, Japan's intelligence agencies in the Far East have begun to expand aggressively.With the deepening of Japan's aggression against China, Japan took the lead in establishing a special high-level class for spying on China's intelligence in the Northeast.

At this time, the head of the Japanese spy in China was Rihachiro Sakanishi, who was the second generation of Japanese espionage giants in China after Nobuzumi Aoki.Historically, during the Beiyang government period, he experienced seven generations of government changes but always manipulated behind the scenes, so he was called the tumbler of the rise and fall of the seven generations.At this moment, he is serving as the military attache of the Japanese Embassy in China, and the person who contacts Lei Zhenchun on his behalf is none other than his proud disciple Kenji Doihara, whose Chinese name is Wang Lewei.

In fact, even if Lei Zhenchun did not seek the Japanese, the Japanese planned to take some action in China.

Although the shadow of the Japanese was behind this war to protect the country, behind all their plans was not to oppose Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, but the matter of the Four Articles of the People's Republic of China last year. The Japanese government saw Yuan Shikai's extremely disobedient side.So the Japanese side decided to make some troubles for Lao Yuan, and it would be great if China can continue to be in chaos in the end.

But after the outbreak of the war, Wang Zhenyu, who was dormant in Hunan and Guangxi, but in the eyes of the Japanese, was just riding on Cai E's ride, unexpectedly exploded with amazing strength.First, Ma Jizeng was defeated in Hunan, and Long Jiguang was defeated in Guangdong; later, Hubei and Jiangxi were easily won with 20 troops, although there were suspicions of taking advantage of the situation.But the speed of Wang Zhenyu's expansion has exceeded the bottom line that the Japanese can bear.Moreover, the Japanese were very surprised to find that they didn't know Wang Zhenyu at all, and had no contact with him, let alone being able to contact him. Naturally, it would be safer to destroy such an existence.

"Such a general of China who came out halfway must not be allowed to live, otherwise he is very likely to destroy the plan of the Great Japanese Empire in China." Kenji Doihara suggested to his teacher Rihachiro Sakanishi very sincerely.

Chapter 239 The Eve of the Final Battle ([-])

Beijing, In a small Japanese-style room at the Japanese Embassy in China, two men are sitting on the tatami and talking with each other, and two lithe girls in kimonos gently place a small Japanese-style table between them After putting down the high-quality sake transported from Japan, he quietly bowed and retreated.

"Doi-kun, I'm curious about one thing, what do you think of the situation in China after the war?" Rihachiro Sakanishi, sitting cross-legged in a kimono, is already a middle-aged man in his 40s, so he Not as excited as Kenji Doihara, after all, the first thing to do in intelligence work is to be calm enough.

Kenji Doihara is very enlightened as a disciple, he immediately adjusted his thinking, bowed after a while and said: "Teacher, the students thought that Beiyang would lose actual control over Southern China, and Cai E or Wang Zhenyu would become The possibility of Southern China. In the eyes of the students, no matter which of these two people becomes the leader of Southern China, it will be a great threat to the interests of the empire in China.”

Rihachiro Hansai did not speak, but sighed after drinking a small glass of sake with his head up: "Mr. If there are politicians who dare to use this power, then the power of China is definitely not something that the empire can bear. Both Cai E and Wang Zhenyu belong to such politicians. My only concern now is that if Yuan Shikai is included, the three Everyone is dead, what kind of structure will China become, or what kind of structure is more conducive to safeguarding the interests of the empire in China?"
