Chapter 1285: Stabilizing the Situation

As the Central Plains Campaign in the Far East continued, a large number of the main forces of the Far Eastern Army, armed police units, and musket militia units gradually occupied the vast area north of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, there are no formed Ming troops and rogue armies in the entire Jiangbei region of the Central Plains, and the various participating troops have immediately moved to the second stage of the campaign, that is, to completely wipe out the small groups of Ming Dynasty routs and thieves who are wandering around the country.

With the assistance of the airship units of the Air Force Department and the intelligence stations stationed in various localities, as well as the local terrain and topography, the various units of the Far East Army carried out a harsh sweep of the Jiangbei region of the Central Plains.

While the various participating units swept away the routs and thieves in various places, they also continued to collect the displaced people scattered in various places. They were registered, screened, and purified, and then shipped out of Daming and sent to the Far East's overseas control areas.

A large number of grassroots management cadres and political work cadres organized by the Nationalities Committee have also begun to gradually penetrate into various grassroots areas in Daming to establish grassroots village and town administrative organizations.

Of course, at present, it is not appropriate to touch the local forces in various localities, but only to put up the shelves of administrative organs at all levels. In general, village-level units set up squadron units, township level set up brigade units, and counties set up detachment units.

In addition to the squadron leader and instructor, the squadron at the village level is also assigned to a squad of musket militia, the brigade is assigned to a platoon of musket militia, and the detachment is assigned to a company of musket militia and a platoon of armed police units. Each prefecture has set up a working group of the People's Affairs Committee to manage the grassroots work in the counties, villages and towns.

The main forces of the Far Eastern Army were stationed in various areas of the Jiangbei of the Central Plains, and on the basis of the troops of the Northwest Field Army and the Northeast Field Army in the Central Plains, the Central Plains Field Army was formed, with commander Lin Hua and political commissar Ma Qing.

Among them, the 10 newly built cavalry divisions of the Northwest Army are temporarily stationed in various localities as battalions, and together with the air boat units of several wings of the Air Force, they serve as tactical mobile units in the Central Plains region and are ready to respond to emergencies that arise in various localities. Field divisions and garrison divisions were also stationed in major cities and regions as battalions, as well as at various transportation hubs.

The armed police force and a large number of musket militia units are stationed in villages, towns and villages, and serve as the main armed forces in the Far East at the grassroots level, maintaining local law and order and protecting the grassroots cadres of the Nationalities Council.

Although the Far East entered the Central Plains with murderous spirits, it only took more than a month to completely overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. But then no further action was taken, basically following the political structure of the Ming Dynasty, and the law was also based on the Ming Law.

The only action in the Far East was to confiscate the property and feudal land of the vassal kings and clans in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and to recover all the military fields and official fields in various places for unified management. None of these actions touched the fundamental interests of the gentry bureaucracy everywhere, at least it seemed that little had changed from the previous dynasty.

This also made the gentry, bureaucrats and landlords of the former Ming Dynasty all breathe a sigh of relief, they don't care so much about who sits on the country, who cares whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Republic of China, as long as the people who sit on the country do not touch their interests.

Moreover, the Far East continued to use officials at all levels of the former Ming Dynasty, temporarily stabilizing the gentry class, making them feel that the Far East would still rule the world with scholars and doctors in the future, just like the previous dynasties of the Central Plains, which also made the scholars of the world happy.

The local forces of the former Ming Dynasty all showed a very welcoming gesture towards the arrival of the Far East, and anyway, there was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere everywhere.

A large number of local village elders and big businessmen in towns and towns organized the people to contribute money and grain, and sent them to the garrisons of the Far Eastern Army and the grassroots departments in the Far East to beat gongs and drums.

But no matter what the era, there are always smart people. Many thoughtful gentry and bureaucrats realized the crisis through the various moves of the Far East into the Central Plains.

They know very well in their hearts that there will definitely be greater moves in the Far East in the future. As for the reason, it is that after the Far East entered the Central Plains, too few changes were made, and even a lot of times it was too childish, which is absolutely abnormal.

But there were too few discerning people, and even if there were any objections raised at this time, they would not attract the attention of the majority of the gentry, who were now immersed in incomparably excited emotions.

The Far Eastern Company still uses its own team to operate in the Central Plains, and the retention of the administrative structure at all levels of the Ming Dynasty is only to stabilize the current situation.

Therefore, there is an extremely strange situation in various parts of the Central Plains, that is, the original Ming Dynasty's administrative system is operating normally on the bright side, and the Far Eastern Company still has its own set of administrative systems operating secretly.

This is also a matter of no choice, the company has just entered the Central Plains, and all kinds of work are piled up, and it is extremely cumbersome. It can only come little by little, and if it is done in a hurry, it is bound to cause great chaos in various places. After all, cannons and bayonets will not solve everything.

At present, the main task of the Far East is to understand the situation, collect data, and make active preparations for the upcoming grassroots work.

Li Ming was also busy during this time, not only him, but everyone in the company was like a clockwork machine, busy in the dark. He only sleeps four or five hours a day, and he eats mostly in his office.

"Bang Bang ......"

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Li Ming raised his head and shouted impatiently: "Who......"

A guard pushed the door in and said to Li Ming: "Chief, Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Intelligence is here......

Li Ming shook his head with a wry smile, and then said helplessly: "You let him in." ”

Billy Zhou walked into Li Ming's office and saw that the desk was full of documents, Li Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't see that he hadn't rested well these days.

"Leader, you have to pay attention to your body......"

After listening to Billy Zhou's words, Li Ming scolded with a smile: "Why don't you come here, hurry up and get down to business, I didn't see that I was busy." ”

Zhou Billy sat opposite Li Ming with a smile, picked up the cigarette on Li Ming's table as if he was familiar, took out a cigarette and lit it, and then took a beautiful puff.

Li Ming saw Zhou Billy's poor style, and immediately became angry.

"Are you okay with anything, get out of here if you have nothing to do......"

Zhou Billy saw that Li Ming was angry, so he sat up straight with a smile, and then said in a deep voice: "Leader, I came today to see you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you too." The other one is that I want to discuss something with you. ”

When Li Ming heard this, he immediately stared at Zhou Billy with a vigilant face, and said solemnly: "What kind of demon moth have you come up with, I seem to feel an aura of conspiracy." ”
