After looking at the railway project, Qin Zheng accompanied by Gao Jin, inspected the power plant and cement plant under construction in Jinzhou, these two are local projects, the scale is not large, but once completed, it is still of great help to improve the modernization process of Jinzhou City, cement is the basic material of all modern engineering construction industry, although electricity can not be converted into production in a short period of time, but after all, it is the future development trend, and in terms of improving daily life, there is still a lot of potential for development, in addition to Shenyang Machinery Factory, Anshan has steel plant projects, all of which belong to the "Second Five-Year Plan" of large projects, and can cover Jinzhou, so Jinzhou is only one waterworks away from the "five small industries", it can be said that Gao Jin in the initial selection of the project, is indeed after serious consideration.

Of course, inspecting these two local projects, Qin Zheng just went through the motions and expressed his support for Jinzhou City, so he didn't spend much time.

And the next day, Qin Zheng and Gao Jin went to Chaoyang County for inspection.

Chaoyang County is the window connecting Jinzhou and Mongolia, in the administrative division of the Qing Dynasty, it belongs to the Inner Mongolia region, but now it is divided into Liaoning Province by East China **, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Jinzhou City.

Although Chaoyang County belongs to the Han and Mongolian mixed areas, but now it is basically sinicized, there are almost no herdsmen, and the Mongolians who settle here do not live in yurts, but live in regular houses, and take farming as their business, although most of the Mongolians still retain certain grazing habits, they still raise some livestock at home, and in addition to farming, they also carry out grazing, but at most they are dozens of sheep, the scale of a few cattle and horses, and some even have only more than ten sheep, which is much smaller than the normal herdsmen who live on grazing, and they go out to graze for only more than 10 days, and the range is basically in the surrounding areas of Chaoyang County。

However, there are only a few farmers and herdsmen who have their own land and livestock, and most of the land, as in other places, is occupied by landlords of all sizes, and among the landlords, a considerable part of them are Mongolian nobles.

Although the original purpose of the rebellion of Tao Ketaohu and others was to rebel against the Qing court's reclamation policy, in fact, the vast majority of Mongolian nobles were not stubborn people who adhered to the herding tradition, they actually did not resist the Qing court's reclamation policy, because if they had land, they could collect a fixed land rent and harvest grain, which was a stable income, and most of the grassland in the Mongolian steppe was the private property of the Mongolian nobles, so once the grassland was reclaimed into a field, they could still profit from it, and they could also invest in the purchase of land.

And the real bad luck in the reclamation policy is the herdsmen, whether they are free herdsmen or herdsmen who are dependent on the Mongolian aristocracy, because the herdsmen do not know how to cultivate, once the pasture is reclaimed into a field, of course the Mongolian nobles will not hire them to farm, and there is no pasture for grazing, so the herdsmen have completely lost all the conditions for survival, and the only way to go is to rebel.

However, now all the land in Chaoyang County has been given to farmers or herdsmen, and technicians have been dispatched by Jinzhou City to teach herders how to farm.

Of course, this kind of place at the junction of two different regions is destined to be commercially developed, and Chaoyang County is of course no exception, the cattle and sheep, furs, medicinal materials, bone products produced in the Mongolian grassland, and the grain, herbs, salt, cloth, household utensils and other things imported into the grassland can be seen here, and merchants of all ethnic groups gather here to carry out various transactions. Before East China occupied Chaoyang County, trade here was already very prosperous.

After the Battle of Jinzhou, East China took full control of Chaoyang County, in addition to the redistribution of land, the main work is to continue to develop the Han and Mongolian trade in Chaoyang County, and built a large market specifically for trade, and repaired several main commercial streets in the city, and formulated the order and rules of trading, standardized trading behavior, and also strengthened the management of market security, so that merchants from all over the country can trade more conveniently and safely.

The day after Qin Zheng arrived in Chaoyang County, Ouyang Longxing also rushed from Chifeng to Chaoyang County to meet with Qin Zheng. Now Ouyang Longxing is no longer an ordinary staff officer, because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jinzhou, when the army was restructured, he was appointed as the commander of the 10th Field Army of the Northeast Military Region, the 19th Division, and the rank was also promoted to brigadier general.

After the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, three sub-military regions were set up, namely, the Harbin Military Region, which consisted of the 2nd Field Army, the Changchun Military Region, which consisted of the 8th Field Army, and the Shenyang Military Region, which consisted of the 7th and 10th Field Armies, and Ouyang Longxing's 19th Division was responsible for garrisoning Jinzhou, and the division headquarters was located in Jinzhou, but the following three regiments were stationed in Chifeng, Jinzhou, and Suizhong. Among them, Zhang Zuolin's unit also got the official number, the 191st Regiment of the 19th Division, responsible for garrisoning Chifeng.

However, after serving as the division commander, Ouyang Longxing did not live in Jinzhou, but always stayed in Chifeng, because in the current Jinzhou area, Jinzhou is basically a big rear and there is no threat; and Suizhong is to defend the Qing court, and now the Qing court naturally does not dare to provoke East China, and the threat is not great; only in the Chifeng area, because it has not been occupied for a long time, the foundation is not stable, so on the one hand, the Mongolian society is transformed, and on the other hand, it is necessary to suppress the counterattack of the Mongolian aristocracy.

When the People's Army was just stationed in Chifeng, most of the local Mongolian nobles did not care too much, because in their opinion, as long as they obeyed the rule of East China, there would be no big deal, at most East China would take one or two Mongolian nobles, but most of them still ran and danced, Bi Jing East China ** If you want to effectively rule the Mongolian steppe, you will eventually have to rely on these Mongolian nobles, the Qing court has ruled in Mongolia for many years, although it has collapsed by division, Fight a group and pull a group, and transform the steppe tribes into a flag alliance system, plus continuous political marriages, but in the final analysis, it is up to these Mongolian nobles to rule the Mongolian region, and what can be done in East China.

But what these Mongolian nobles didn't expect was that East China ** did not go on according to the script they expected, but liberated the herdsmen, overthrew the nobles, and distributed the pastures, cattle and sheep of the nobles to the herdsmen, so that the herdsmen not only obtained the property that could sustain their lives, but also gained personal freedom and social status. Of course, there are also a considerable number of Mongolian nobles who are unwilling to give up their wealth and status like this, so they also rise up to resist, but in the face of the strong armed forces of the People's Army, the resistance of the Mongolian nobles is basically useless, not to mention that their resistance is not supported by the herdsmen. Therefore, in the end, they were all extinguished by East China**, and they did not make much waves.

This sudden change not only shocked the Mongolian nobles, but also soon caused a huge panic in the Mongolian steppe, although now East China politics affect only a small area of the Mongolian steppe, but the impact on the Mongolian steppe is extremely huge, because East China ** brought not an ordinary change of dynasty, but a complete earth-shaking change.

Some herdsmen fled from the dependent nobles and defected to East China, and some herdsmen even directly rebelled against the Mongolian nobles, and at this time two Mongolian nobles were killed by the People's Army.

Although there is no order from East China now, the People's Army only guards the border and does not attack, but for a time the Mongolian steppe was in turmoil, and almost everyone of the Mongolian nobles was in danger. So they also organized their own people, on the one hand, to strictly restrain the herdsmen under their own rule, on the other hand, to guard against the attack of East China, and at the same time, some people moved around, and the group had to be connected in series, intending to form an alliance, and even to find Russian support to fight against East China.

Ouyang Longxing stayed in Chifeng, on the one hand, to command and suppress the resistance of the Mongolian nobles in the ruling area, and on the other hand, to organize and train the liberated herdsmen, set up a militia, and assist the army, after all, the area controlled by East China is now 4 or 50,000 square kilometers, and it is impossible to rely on the defense of only one regiment of the People's Army.

At the same time, Jinzhou City also sent administrative personnel to Chifeng to establish grass-roots administrative organizations among the herdsmen and manage administrative affairs, but at present, the rule of the Chifeng area is still dominated by the army, and the administrative personnel only assist in the management of the army. Although it is said that this is a special time, only a special way of dealing with it can be adopted. But it is obviously inappropriate to dump all these jobs on Zhang Zuolin, so at this time, it is indeed difficult for Ouyang Longxing to get out of Chifeng.

After meeting Qin Zheng, Ouyang Longxing gave him a detailed report on the situation in Chifeng, although these situations were mentioned in the daily report, but Ouyang Longxing's report was more detailed, and also mentioned a lot of details, which were not in the report.

And after listening to Ouyang Longxing's report, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "So what is the overall situation in the Chifeng region now, can we control the area we occupy now?"

Ouyang Longxing said: "Political commissar, although you can rest assured, we can definitely control it, first of all, our force has an absolute advantage, and secondly, the herdsmen are basically on our side, after all, we gave them cattle and sheep, Property, so that they have gained freedom, gained social status, no longer oppressed by the aristocracy, now they want to keep their current life and status, can only fully support us, and without the support of the majority of herdsmen, it is by relying on these nobles, there is no big wave, in fact, this time the resistance of several nobles can recruit only a few dozen people, not even one can pull up more than 100 people, basically rely on their relatives, friends and henchmen servants, at most can only coerce a few herdsmen. And when we have established the grassroots organizations, they will be even more absolutely reliable. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "As long as the internal situation can be stable, then it will be invincible, but what about the external threat? Now the Mongolian nobles are organizing an alliance, is it easy to deal with?"
