A thriving base needs a united and complete organizational structure, so Lu Shi once again consulted his brothers and announced a new personnel arrangement, which also laid a foundation for the future.

The leader of the base area, King Lu Shi, is in charge of the overall affairs of the base area, and is divided into four departments: military, political, supervisory sergeant and logistics.

The commander who has jurisdiction over all the military is Guo Tianxing, and under Guo Tianxing, it is divided into two parts, a garrison army, which is in charge of Geng Kui, called the general manager, and a standing army, which is personally controlled by Guo Tianxing, and the following is under the command of Luochuan Wu Tao, Ganquan Li Li, Fuxian Wang Xin, and Chunlan of the Women's Army, but Chunlan is also responsible for the women's affairs in the base area, and she is also under the jurisdiction of Chen Ce, as for whether Chen Ce dares to manage it, whether he wants to manage it or not, that is his business.

Chen Ce, the administrative officer, is in charge of all the government affairs of the entire base area, with three counties under his jurisdiction, and there is also a Huluyu Laoying, Mr. Li of Luochuan, Zheng Hao of Ganquan, and Chen Che of Fuxian.

Intelligence Zhao Xing, external enemy situation, internal discipline, see the third level of the official university.

The third uncle of logistics, at the same time, the artisan battalion Zhao blacksmith was officially placed under the jurisdiction of the third uncle, as for the old man, he was always tasked by Chen Ce, and the old camp was simply thrown to the third uncle, which was a favor.

After arranging the personnel of the base area, everyone became relaxed, and the cave began to become active again, and everyone talked about their thoughts and feelings in this paragraph, with good suggestions and cranky thoughts that were too far from the topic. The good suggestions were constantly debated and sorted out by everyone, and they were ready to be implemented in the future, and everyone gave a good-natured laugh to those cranky thoughts.

Zheng Hao and Mr. Li are still a little unsuitable for such a scene without respect and humility, so they want to get up and say goodbye, after all, they came back this time and went directly to Lu Shi's cave, and they haven't come to meet their wives and children yet.

Seeing that Zheng Hao wanted to leave, Lu Shi hurriedly stopped and said, "Sir, go slowly, there is one last thing to say in this meeting, and the two of you need to put forward suggestions and opinions." ”

Zheng Hao shook his head helplessly and sat down, such a meeting really makes him love and hate, what he loves is that everyone discusses on an equal footing and speaks freely, without the so-called seriousness of officialdom's lifelessness, the so-called humility of the upper and lower, but this kind of meeting is indeed what he hates.

Lu Shi stood up and said loudly: "Okay, brothers, it's not early this day, I'll make a long story short, but everyone must remember that what I said is the most important thing, I don't need everyone to discuss it today, put this idea in the quilt and think about it carefully, and then let's talk about it." ”

When everyone saw that Lu Shi was serious, they all accepted the attitude of giggling and began to listen to Lu Shi seriously.

Lu Shi paced in the middle of the ground, carefully sorting out his thoughts while slowly speaking.

"Now we have obtained the vast number of rural areas through the war against encirclement and suppression, and in accordance with my immature ideas, we have carried out the policy of reducing rent and interest and collecting protection fees, and in the case of continuous improvement of our brothers, we have achieved unexpected results, not only have won the absolute support of the people, but also have been basically recognized by the original landlords, and now it seems that this policy is desirable and feasible, which has been verified." Everyone nodded yes together. But this time, there was no gossip discussion, for fear of disrupting King Chuang's train of thought.

"Now the imperial court, the imperial grain tax has not decreased, but increased, and there is no hope for relief after the natural disaster, but the new emperor ascended the throne to reward the heroes, divided a few princes, rewarded the old kings of the past dynasties, and issued the amount of money and land to all parts of the country, except for the three counties of Ganquan, Fuxian, and Luochuan that we have occupied in disguise, the people of other states and counties have been exploited again, and there are Wang Ergao Yingxiang in Yan'an Fugu and other places to raise the banner of rebellion, and there are many thieves everywhere, and the great turmoil has come, This means that the good ideas of our old friend Zheng Hongda's brother are really shattered. ”

Everyone smiled kindly and listened to King Chuang's continuation.

"So we have to see one thing clearly, let's not dream of Zhao'an, because in the current view, Zhao'an can't get what we want, the hungry people are still hungry after being appeased, and those of us here are falling to the ground after being appeased."

All the people looked awe-inspiring, and this is an irrefutable fact.

"I asked everyone not to overstimulate the imperial court, that is, we don't kill officials, we don't occupy the city, we are just exiles, we don't rebel, but it doesn't mean that the imperial court really thinks that we won't rebel, but because of our measures, the governor of Yan'an Mansion and the county orders in various places have adopted the mentality of covering their ears and stealing bells, and we are using this mentality to get by and develop our power in a low-key manner. But this kind of time will not be too long for us, the original was okay, but now it is good to die out of a Zhang Yuan, and we have launched an endless battle, which also reflects the current situation of the government on the one hand, and now Yulin Gao Yingxiang, Wang Er and the pole are attracting the attention of the government to some extent, leaving us a little time for development, of course, this time will not be too much, now we should consider today is that we should next step in this limited time, how we should act, how to develop, where to develop. ”

It was quiet in the cave, except for the crackling sound of the inferior charcoal in the charcoal brazier. Everyone waited with bated breath for King Chuang's next move.

Lu Shi silently thought about his thoughts these days in his mind, walked to the wall to the north, suddenly opened a curtain, and a preliminary map of Yan'an Mansion was displayed in front of everyone, and then silently stepped aside, silently glanced at all the brothers, and said in a deep voice: "Look, this is the map around Yan'an Ji drawn with all the painstaking efforts of the sergeant brothers, the red pen outlines our current base area, and the blue pen outlines the forces that are still in the hands of the imperial court. We are now going to take a cover for the places around the red pen, and I am going to take a group of legal ones as a cover. Supporting a group of people close to us has become the basis of our governance, cracking down on and suppressing a group of people who have committed the most heinous crimes, one is to stabilize the locality, the other is to obtain the materials urgently needed by the cottages, and the most important thing is to win the greatest popular support and obtain more manpower and material resources to build on. ”

Everyone admired the decision of the king of Tuo Chuang.

"So will the official army let us develop in peace and stability like this?" Lu Shi asked everyone as if they were asking themselves, and then replied to themselves: "No, I don't think so, as our strength grows bigger and bigger, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the government and the court, and when the border army defeats the harassing Mongolian Tartars, exterminates Gao Yingxiang and other poles, and stabilizes the backyard, it will draw out its energy, and it will make a comeback with the thief-hearted Zhang Yuan, and launch an encirclement and suppression against us again. ”

All the people's faces began to become solemn, and there was no longer the original smile and smile, King Chuang was right, now the base is actually bargaining for the border army to deal with the Mongolian invaders, Gao Yingxiang and others migrated to the Quartet, unable to take care of him, so Zhang Yuan's fight took the lead, and the Mongolian Tartars said that they were just harassing threshing grass, and they did not really shout with the Ming Dynasty with such fanfare as Nuzhi, the Mongolian Tartars would withdraw to the outside of the Saiwai regardless of success or failure before the beginning of spring, and Gao Yingxiang would not last long, and he would collapse. The elite of the army over there will return to the division again to quell the rebellion and fight with themselves again.

"Therefore, we must continue to expand our strategic activity space after the summer grain harvest, so that there is room for progress and a basis for retreat." Zheng Hao firmly suggested.

Zheng Hao said with appreciation: "During this period, I got the guidance of several gentlemen, we deepened and intensified construction in the base area, won the support of the largest people, and drove the whole way, constantly encroaching on the surrounding areas, encroaching a little, consolidating a little, and developing a little, but everyone also saw that further west, it was more barren and barren, and the coming year will be even more arid, where in addition to increasing the burden on us, we will not get anything, to the north." Lu Shiyi pointed to the map and said: "But it is getting closer and closer to Yan'an Mansion, and Yulinwei, which is the land of the elite soldiers of the imperial court, or we will not come out in a bloody battle, to the south, although we have the Luochuan granary, but further south, that is, the Shaanxi Plain, but we have to fight against the official army without mountains, in Yima Pingchuan, we do not have enough military strength to compete with the swarming officers and troops, so." ”

Lu Shi slowly followed the map to the east and then to the east, and then stopped at the boundary of Yichuan.

"This is it." He smashed his hand there and said: "We need a strategic depth away from Xi'an and Yan'an, open the window of Shanxi, we move closer to Shanxi, but there are several advantages, one is that the weather in Shanxi is better than here, the population is also dense, and the area is rich, and the second is close to the Yellow River, which is also convenient for us to develop irrigated agriculture and use the Yellow River for transportation, and the third is that it is the junction of the two provinces, Shaanxi is beyond the reach of the whip, but Shanxi is not within the scope of management, which is more suitable for our development." According to Sergeant Zhao Xing's brothers, Yichuan is a stony hilly area covered with a thin layer of loess; The north of the county Chuanhe is the loess crushing plateau area; The southwest is hilly and rocky mountainous area. The terrain slopes gently from west to east, forming a dustpan-like terrain with high in the southwest and low in the east. The mountains in the territory belong to the Hengshan mountain system, from north to south, there are nine major mountains such as Yunyan Mountain, Yeqi Mountain, Hutou Mountain, Qilang Mountain, Fengyi Mountain, Python Mountain, Ruling Mountain, Pangu Mountain and Balang Mountain, and the highest in the county is listed from north to south with six major rivers such as Fenchuan River, Shiwang River, Luerchuan River, Baishuichuan River, Ruyi River, Hou'er River, etc.

The mountains are suitable for us to defend according to danger, and the many rivers are suitable for us to use windmills for irrigation, and the close proximity to Shanxi is that we can cross the Yellow River at any time, avoid the enemy's edge, accumulate strength, and be able to maneuver easily in the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops. ”

In fact, there is one thing that Lu Shi did not say, that is, according to the history he knew, the peasant uprising that was launched in Shaanxi, but the real growth was that the peasant army was able to survive and grow after it spread to Shanxi.

"In the end, we must connect the current base areas with the Yichuan and even Shanxi base areas that are about to develop, so that we can truly have a vast space, a vast population, and a vast number of resources, and we will truly be able to defeat and defeat the base areas."

quiet

The needles could be heard in the cave, and everyone was convinced by the military advisor's long-term plan and broad vision, and no one spoke, and then one by one dispersed with hope and heaviness and quietness.

This night, so those who hear the plans and plans of the military advisor will be sleepless.
