Zhang Hanqing felt that there was a door, and what he wanted was this result, so he cheered up and said: "Actually, the preliminary work of the guard brigade has been completed, and now it is only a monthly maintenance fee." I have a plan, that is, while the inside and outside of the Guanxi are still very stable, half of the army and half of the tuntian, with the army to support the army. There is fertile land to be cultivated along the eastern and western Liao rivers, and geographically it is at the junction of the three provinces of Jimengfeng, and it is under the direct control of the Guards Brigade. As long as I reclaim some fields, I estimate that there will be no problem in touching 100,200,000 acres of fertile land. and then sell it at the right time, so you don't have to worry about not being able to raise an army. The problem is that at this time, I really didn't have the money to support it. ”

During this period, the annual cost of raising an army division was about 1.3 million, and the Guards Brigade also had the size of more than half a division, so he was already economical enough.

Yu Fengzhi also knew her husband's difficulties, thought for a while, and asked: "If it is urgent, my dowry can make up seventy or eighty thousand dollars, but the monthly expenses in the future will be gone." It is not a matter of one or two days to make a profit from reclamation, it is this year's autumn grain, what can you do to profit from it? You can't grab a gun, right? ”

Zhang Hanqing actually looked forward to this moment with a lot of hard work, but he still pretended to be shy and grateful, shook his head and said, "How can this work?" No matter what, you can't use your dowry money! ”

Yu Fengzhi made a gentle gesture: "Since you and I are husband and wife, why do you need to share what you and mine?" But what happens after that? Do you have a great idea? ”

Zhang Hanqing already had a plan, and he slowly calculated an account on his wife's belly.

"Northern Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of water, so the Guards Brigade will carry out military reclamation in an organized manner, and the efficiency will far exceed that of ordinary peasant households. In addition, we are not mainly cultivating wasteland, but preparing land and selling land, so we feel that it is certain to build 100,000 acres of wasteland in a short period of time. From a long-term point of view, it will not be a problem to complete the entire 200,000 or 300,000 mu. Even if it is 100,000 mu, at a price of 2 yuan per mu, it is feasible to make 200,000 yuan for four months.

I have applied to the Overseer to make Xinmin County the base camp for the Guards Brigade to carry out a pilot rural land reform here, where I have absolute authority to carry out relevant actions. In the early days, I mainly collected taxes---- even if I had 500,000 mu of land in the county at a rate of 1 out of 10, I could get at least 1 million catties of grain after the summer harvest, which was enough for me to spend nearly three months. However, the military pay may be delayed for a while.

The Northeast is a vast land, and the way to make money is actually not limited to the field of production? A few days ago, Lao Mo and I talked about that the Fushun Coal Mine has been successfully put into operation, and now the weather is getting cold, and the customs are in urgent need, and the sales channels have been opened, but the Japanese have occupied the South Manchurian Railway and refused to allow it to be transported, and how to transport it out is a big problem. The Guards Brigade had a cavalry regiment and obtained more than 2,000 horses from these bandits, and if a transport brigade was formed, it would not only relieve the urgent needs of the industrialists, but also earn a part of the freight to subsidize military expenses.

Now there are a lot of students in the Guards Brigade, and it would be a pity if their ingenuity was buried? I plan to set up some military factories, such as quilt factories and toothpaste factories to manufacture some daily necessities, and expand the brigade ordnance maintenance center into a farm tool processing factory to manufacture some agricultural tools necessary for military reclamation and agricultural reclamation.

There are also engineers, we already have an engineer company, and I plan to transfer some officers and men here to set up an engineer battalion, and build water conservancy facilities and roads in addition to training, so as to provide a long-term guarantee for land reclamation and also reasonably obtain a part of the financial subsidy---- anyway, roads always have to be repaired, and it is better for the engineer battalion. ”

After such chatter, there are really many ways to make money. It is no wonder that the great men of later generations once said a famous saying, "There is great power in many", and this saying is indeed true. Infected by him, Yu Fengzhi also felt that he could survive this hurdle with hard work, the key was that Yu Fengzhi, who had consciously integrated into the Zhang family, also understood the importance of military power to the Zhang family, and had to help her husband get through this hurdle no matter what. She finally decided, "It's really not good, I'll go directly to my parents' house to ask for help." My mother still values you as a son-in-law, and I don't think I will make you suffer when I think about it."

After solving the big problem, Zhang Hanqing naturally took advantage of the excitement to consolidate again, and only then did he make an astonishing move at the Fengtian Military and Political Conference a few days later.

Thinking that he has military power, but has not yet made achievements in administration, it is time to reduce the number of combat personnel of the Guards Brigade and change the military position to a civilian position, which will not waste those literate student troops and reduce the attention of all parties, and can be helpful in subsequent administrative matters.

He hit it off with Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Wang Yizhe and other like-minded people, and originally wanted to start the three matters of land reform, party building, and reclamation after Bingming Zhang Zuolin. After convincing Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Hanqing put all the guards brigade on the border of Fengji. Feng Delin of Fengtian City talked about the Guards Brigade from time to time, and there was no point in returning to the city. Zhang Hanqing had the intention to reduce the burden on Nai's father, and also fulfilled his promise, he really stopped paying Fengtian's military salary after October, and changed to self-reliance.

Officers and men with a certain degree of cultural attainment in the Guards Brigade were transferred out as the backbone force to form 30 land reform work teams and hand them over to Guo Songling for training to prepare for epoch-making challenges. In China, to control the countryside is to control the country, and a contingent with practical peasant work experience is the cornerstone of the future leadership of the regime.

All the activists who were willing to work for the well-being of the people enriched Wang Yizhe's teaching group and began to explain the "Chinese People's Party Building Program" compiled by Zhang Hanqing.

After the transfer of ministries, the original establishment was disrupted. Zhang Hanqing simply retained the three newly formed regiments on the basis of the remaining heads, as the main force of the Guards Brigade, and retained them as seeds, along with the newly established cavalry battalion, engineer battalion, artillery battalion, communications company, and other forces directly under the brigade headquarters.

Han Linchun is responsible for the training of the whole brigade, that is, to maintain combat effectiveness; Guo Songling is responsible for the logistics and support of the whole brigade, that is, controlling the money bags; Wang Yizhe is in charge of the ideological education work of the whole brigade, that is, he straightens his neck.

I promised to be self-sufficient and not ask for a penny from the Fengtian government, it's time to fulfill my promise:

The task force is considered to be in politics, so it takes a meager part from the finance of the Xinmin County Government as a subsidy;

The cavalry battalion was led by Wang Wensheng, and together with the baggage battalion and some of the "demobilized" infantry, a new "transport brigade" was established, and Wang Wensheng concurrently served as the head of this brigade. As a new force in the transportation of Fushun coal mines, they used horse-drawn carts to haul them, and they simply opened up a "road" to continuously transport coal to Fengtian Railway Station, and then transported it to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places through the Beijing-Fengzhou line. Due to the high quality and low price, the market is excellent. Several major shareholders made a lot of money, and they also made additional investments, and also made a big live advertisement for Fengtian's investment. Of course, the problem of military spending and daily supply for nearly 3,000 people has been completely solved, and there is still a lot of surplus.

All other groups, whether they are teaching groups or reorganization groups, have to participate in the reclamation activities in this area. Kangping, Changtu, Shuangliao and other places are all directly under the jurisdiction of the Guard Brigade, anyway, it's okay now, and when I return to the city, my father will still be worried about Feng Delin, so I will simply reclaim the wasteland. When the scale is up, the land will be sold to those who need it when needed, and the cost will be used as military expenses. Isn't this the case with the 359th Brigade in history?
