The formation and training of the units are proceeding very smoothly. The only thing that didn't go well was Zhou Zhenglong. Zhou Zhenglong was originally the captain of the equipment brigade. This time, along with the changes in the reorganization plan of the group army, the original equipment brigade structure was abolished, and the soldiers of the equipment brigade were dispersed and incorporated into various combat units, and the technical personnel were directly transferred to the arsenal, Liaocheng school, power plant, ordnance repair station, and other units. Zhou Zhenglong himself was transferred to the post of commander of the 11th Division of the newly formed local garrison division. The promotion from brigade commander to division commander is equivalent to a substantial promotion. But what Tian Zheng didn't expect was that Zhou Zhenglong didn't agree.

Zhou Zhenglong said that although he was only the captain of an equipment brigade in the past, he was able to often follow the main force to carry out accompanying combat missions, and every battle was also impressive. Even the task of escorting equipment is done very well. He was unwilling to leave the main force to become the commander of the garrison division, but was willing to be the captain of the baggage brigade. He said that this is also his old job, which is easy to use and ensures that he can pull troops to the front line at any time.

Tian Zheng saw Zhou Zhenglong's bitter face, and had to tell Zhou Zhenglong first about the overall situation of the operation, and then from the importance of the garrison division. But Zhou Zhenglong has always disagreed, just a look of aggrieved as if the little daughter-in-law abandoned by her husband stood at the door of Tian Zheng's office every day, and he was not noisy when Tian Zheng went in, but as soon as Tian Zheng went out, he immediately followed. It seems that he will not be satisfied until Tian Zheng transfers him to the main force.

Tian Zheng simply didn't spend anything with him. said directly to Zhou Zhenglong, "If you don't want to be the commander of the 11th Division, that's fine." Don't regret it. I thought about having the 11th Division garrison Liaocheng. Liaocheng is the base of our army so far, and it is the base area where our main force can survive and develop and support the needs of operations! I won't say much about the importance here! I want to say yes. After the 11th Division was formed, it should be quickly dispersed to all county, township, and even village-level units in Liaocheng. Prepare for the upcoming government policy reforms. When the base area is firmly built enough, the 11th Division can be allowed to expand on the spot, or train soldiers for our main force, or wait for the follow-up local garrison units to improve and directly pull the 11th Division to the front line as the main force to fight. I thought that your head was flexible enough, and you were cautious and serious in handling things, and you had a sense of the overall situation, so I handed over the 11th division to you, since you don't want to, then I will let someone else be the commander of this division! ”

As soon as Tian Zheng's words were finished, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Zhenglong's body. He secretly thought in his heart, I always thought that the military seat had given me to still guard my hometown. Who deserves the military seat, he is far-sighted. There is such a huge plan! I only hate me, a pig brain, and I don't even understand the hard work of the military seat! The military seat did not want to give up on himself, but to give himself a bigger and more difficult task!

After figuring it out, Zhou Zhenglong was no longer reluctant, but happily ran to form the 11th Division.

When others saw the huge contrast between Zhou Zhenglong and before and after, especially the senior leaders of the military department, they even secretly lamented that their ideological work was not in place. You see, the military seat of the other family turned Zhou Zhenglong's stubborn donkey in place in just a few words, and he went to work happily.

After formulating the steps for the reorganization of the troops, Tian Zheng began to prepare for a series of reforms on civil affairs and people's livelihood issues. Liaocheng although automatic Tian Zheng's troops have been under control. A large number of factories were set up, ore and coal were mined, and a large number of local labor were used, which greatly promoted the economic development and market prosperity of Liaocheng and even the surrounding areas. In addition, the military salaries of the troops are not low. Moreover, it was basically paid on time, and the military salaries of so many troops have also become a huge amount of consumption funds, which has accelerated the economic take-off of Liaocheng.

But that's all there is to it. In the entire Liaocheng surrounding area, there is still a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Under the rule of the old China and the Kuomintang government in Nanjing, this fundamental social contradiction was created. Fundamental change cannot be fundamentally achieved by relying solely on overall economic development. What Tian Zheng is thinking about now is how to implement some policies that truly benefit the people and can really change the fundamental situation of society. Only by fundamentally safeguarding the interests of the broad masses of toiling people can we promote the healthy and normal development of social order and the prosperity and growth of the base areas!

Tian Zheng fought alone in the office at night, wrote down all the forward-looking policies and policies that have been proven effective over time, and then thought about and compared them one by one. Although he is not an expert in people's livelihood, as a high-achieving student in later generations, he always has the necessary political literacy and policy edification. As long as we take out those good policies, carry out a certain degree of tailor-made reform in view of the current situation in Liaocheng, and come up with a set of leading phalanxes suitable for the development of Liaocheng base areas.

After a whole night of studying at the desk, at dawn the next day, Tian Zheng finally came up with a basic framework that satisfied him. The main ones are three:

First, a large-scale land reform campaign was carried out within the base areas. It is necessary to conscientiously put the right to use land on the peasants, so that every household can have land to grow and grain to eat. It is absolutely forbidden for the peasants of the past to work desperately all year round, and the labor remuneration at the end of the year is not enough for their own family to eat. Encourage farmers to vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry, rely on Liaocheng's natural geographical environment and climate advantages, and strive to build Liaocheng into a granary-level base area!

Second, regulations on the protection of industry and commerce should be enacted. It is necessary to formulate a clear understanding of some rules for the order of industry and commerce, and standardize and legalize the business activities of all organizations and individuals conducting commercial activities within the scope of the base areas. It is necessary to make the market environment clean and vigorous, abolish all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and encourage individual capital and foreign capital to invest in the base areas.

Third, it is necessary to establish democratic governments at all levels and improve the establishment of political power in base areas. The status quo of military administration in the base areas should be gradually abolished, and democratic governments at all levels should be elected by the people, and those who take office must be capable and capable officers with vision, courage, and ability, and strive to complete the construction of all aspects of affairs in the base areas as soon as possible, so as to become a solid government that is the master of the people and serves the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

These three policies were called "Liaocheng Three" in the historical records of later generations. It is said that this is the first time that New China has explicitly put forward a democratic government. A historic document that guarantees business at all levels. It was the first important turning point in the rebirth of old China.

In addition, Tian Zheng set up a special Liaocheng cadre school. It mainly trains senior political and military cadres at and above the regimental level. Tian Zheng served as the political commissar of the school, and the principal was Wang Zilu. The lecturers are high-ranking military generals who have participated in battles. As for the shortage of political cadres and political lecturers. Tian Zheng directly transferred a group of professors with advanced ideas who were willing to join the army and serve the country and had in-depth research on Marxism-Leninism. Then, after Tian Zheng's heart-to-heart chat and exchange, the ideas of these professors were sublimated once and again, and the essence was extracted from the dross, and then this Liaocheng cadre school, which had trained a large number of military cadres for our army in history, was established in full swing.

The Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast has been much more honest since Tian Zheng led his troops to fight a few battles. Maybe those Japanese Kwantung Army, whose eyes are above the top, never thought that there would be such a force in China that could fight tough battles, with elite troops and complete equipment, right? When Tian Zheng thought of this, he couldn't help but think about it, because of his own crossing. The 54th Army, which had not appeared at this time in history, appeared in advance, and the instigation of this small butterfly wing may have caused a series of reactions. The Japanese army was beaten like this by its own troops, and I am afraid that it will have to be temporarily sobered up. However, Tian Zheng knew in his heart that even if the Japanese army relented, it would be impossible to give up their plan of all-out invasion of China. In their eyes, our big country in China is composed of a bunch of uncivilized people, with so many resources and great rivers and mountains, all of which are wasted! Their noble Japanese soldiers are qualified to enjoy these wonderful things! Moreover, there are so many troops in the Huaxia National Air Force. But all of them are composed of a group of cowardly and cowardly people with outdated equipment and no combat effectiveness, and they will be crushed with one blow! Therefore, even if Tian Zheng's troops hit the Japanese army hard this time, the Japanese army's established plan to invade China will still be carried out!

However, this blow to the Japanese army will definitely slow down the pace of the Japanese army's invasion of China. There is such a period of time for the whole training of the troops. The construction of the base area, when the Japanese army launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, he could also rely on this solid base area to fight like the Japanese army!

Merely. The boundaries of Liaocheng are a bit small. Moreover, some areas are mountainous and hilly areas, and grain production cannot be increased. Unable to feed a strong army. It seems that we need to think about how to expand the base area!

Time passed quickly in the various intensive training and construction carried out by the 54th Group Army and the Liaocheng base area. In the blink of an eye, three months have passed. The political power at all levels in the base areas has also been established and is beginning to play a role. The land reform was also carried out one by one, and the peasants who had been allocated land were all happy to spontaneously organize gongs, drums, and Yangge teams. Come and praise the 54th Army for thinking about the people. The landlords, who owned large amounts of land, were unwilling to lose it, and some even dared to use their guards to disarm and imprison the agrarian reform squads. For this, some comrades have already died. This made Tian Zheng very angry. Immediately ordered that all landlords who dared to resist by force or refused to accept the land reform should be carried out by force! And those notorious landlords were sentenced by public trial, and their property was confiscated. For the landlords who actively cooperate with the land reform, it is appropriate to give them certain policy compensation, encourage them to use their funds for industrial and commercial investment, and can appropriately reduce or reduce a part of the tax. In addition, farmers are encouraged to open up more wasteland. At present, the population of Huaxia is not as dense as that of later generations, and with years of war, a lot of arable land has been abandoned. If those wastelands were restored, it would be a vast area of fertile land!

In addition, Tian Zheng ordered all troops to carry out reclamation. We should strive for each unit to have its own land, so that it can be self-sufficient in grain assets, and that livestock, livestock, and vegetables can be provided by the cantonment fields, and can even flow to the market as a supplement to the troops' military spending. However, the premise is that the training of the troops must not be abandoned. Make sure you can become a force that can pull out and win at any time! During the non-war period, it is also an agricultural master who can plant good land and raise good livestock! (To be continued......)
