Chapter 150: Development
After all, the garrison brigade was once a unit of the Allied Army, and not long ago it fought devils with the 145th Brigade, and Li Han had no choice but to do something to them, and Li Han's mentality would naturally affect other officers of the Security Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, Wang Dazhu did not have the idea of killing all the garrison brigades from the beginning, and the 145th Brigade only attacked in the southwest and southwest directions when attacking, and did not deploy troops in the other two directions, which not only allowed him to increase the intensity of the attack in the two directions, but also left a way out for Zhang Lingyun and others.
Zhang Lingyun's breakthrough was tantamount to admitting the failure of the garrison brigade, and after receiving Zhang Lingyun's surrender order, most of the soldiers chose to lay down their arms and surrender, and a very small number of soldiers escaped in the chaos.
Whether it was during the melee of the Beiyang warlords or the melee between the major warlords of the Republic of China, there were very few soldiers who would rather die than surrender.
After all, they are not fighting with little devils, they are not fighting for the country, and the soldiers' desperate will is not so strong, they are also doing it in the garrison brigade, and they are also doing it in the security army, anyway, they are all soldiers to take it.
Of course, this does not mean that warlord melee is less dangerous, because after each melee fight, no matter which side wins, there will be a large number of routs.
A very small number of these routs may have become civilians from now on, and most of them have become bandits, and they will not be soft on robbing the common people without a place. Basically, after every major war, there will be a calamity of local troops.
In addition, the warlord melee dealt a devastating blow to local development, and many provinces not only failed to move forward in the decades of the Republic of China, but regressed to a point where they were not as good as the Manchu period.
"Hu Zhi and Li Yong immediately gathered the rout, and the guard company quickly entered the city to maintain law and order."
Wang Dazhu has been carrying out Li Han's order, Li Han said that he would not recruit soldiers, and after Wang Dazhu arrived in Duolun, he really did not recruit a single soldier, so the 145th Brigade is still in the early 3,000s.
Of course, although there were recruits, the training of the troops did not relax for a moment; in addition to the regular training, Wang Dazhu specially carried out intensive training for the weakness of the troops in the convenience of infantry and artillery cooperation, and in order to enhance the effect of the training, he also had the artillery battalion issue hundreds of rounds of live ammunition.
It's just that although the effect of the soldiers' training has been significantly improved, Wang Dazhu's heart is painful.
Although they also captured a lot of shells in the previous battles with the Japanese army, they were unable to produce their own shells, and one shell was missing.
Fortunately, in this battle, the performance of the soldiers made Wang Dazhu feel that the previous unjust money was not spent in vain, for the thousands of prisoners captured in this battle, he planned to lay off some of the old and weak, and the rest of them were all incorporated into the 145th Brigade.
At the same time that the 145th Brigade solved Kangbao, Shi Shi'an also negotiated with Ruan Xuanwu, who was stationed in Shangdu, and Ruan Xuanwu was different from Zhang Lingyun.
His troops have been taken over by Song Zheyuan as a peripheral force, and they will soon be reorganized into a brigade, and it is likely to anger Song Zheyuan when he makes a move, so he plans to talk mainly about Ruan Xuanwu and Li Han.
That's why he asked Shi Shi'an to negotiate with Ruan Xuanwu, and the content of the negotiation was also very simple, all the salaries of the Shangdu garrison were paid by the provincial government, and the provincial government also covered the maintenance costs of weapons in peacetime.
The condition was that Nguyen Xuan Wu's garrison could not easily leave the garrison without an order, and at the same time, it was not allowed to collude with the local gentry to obstruct the government's work.
Regarding Shi Shi'an's conditions, Ruan Xuanwu readily agreed, and the Kangbao Guard Brigade is a lesson from the past. Originally, Ruan Xuanwu thought it was very strange why the security army thought it was against Zhang Lingyun, but it didn't do it to himself.
However, just two days ago, he had already received the news that next month his garrison unit would be reorganized into the 39th Independent Brigade, and he would soon be transferred to Hebei, and then he understood why Li Han chose to negotiate with him, and they must have also gotten the news.
After solving the problems of Shangdu and Kangbao, there is basically no big problem in Chabei, and the remaining landlord forces such as militia groups will definitely not be the opponents of the 145th Brigade.
Moreover, Wang Dazhu is also receiving and transforming prisoners in an orderly manner, and it is expected that after thoroughly digesting this batch of prisoners, the strength of the 145th Brigade will reach 5,000 people.
On February 1, 1934, there were more than ten days left before the Spring Festival of the 23rd year of the Republic of China, and more than a month had passed since the security forces took over Chahar Province.
After a few months of reassuring development, Chahar's mental outlook has improved significantly.
"Old Yan, it's okay on the financial side now! The New Year is coming soon, and if the financial authorities allow, I plan to give some New Year's benefits to the soldiers of the whole army, so that the soldiers can also feel the atmosphere of the New Year. ”
Li Han asked.
"After several months of development, the provincial government's finances are running well, and they have basically turned losses into profits, and the reform of the tax system in various places has been basically completed.
As long as the normal operation continues, by the end of this month, we will be able to make a profit of about 200,000 yuan, and with the savings of the previous few months, we should be able to meet the requirements of the military seat. ”
"Good! The provincial government's financial affairs, and Lao Yan has bothered a lot? ”
Li Han said with a smile, although 200,000 oceans is a bit terrifying for a province's profit in a month, but Li Han is still very happy, at least the provincial government can already make money for him, instead of asking Li Han's security army to make up for the government's holes.
And in terms of profitability, it can't be taken literally, and in recent months, the government has been committed to developing the province. Paving bridges and roads, investing in factories, these all consume a lot of money.
At the same time, it has also banned many nameless miscellaneous taxes, lowered the rents of the common people, and adjusted the taxes in various places, although this is all aimed at long-term interests.
In a short period of time, the local tax rate was lowered, but the government's fiscal revenue was reduced. In this case, Yan Zhonghua told himself that there was still a profit of 200,000 oceans, and Li Han was of course very happy.
Of course, neither the national reform nor the reform of local governments can be carried out smoothly, and every time the reform is carried out, it is believed that the conflict between the old and new interests will inevitably cause a backlash from some people.
So far, violent clashes have erupted in many places, and if the army had suppressed it, the reform of Chahar would not have been carried out at all.
"Hehe, I don't have anything, the main thing is that the security army is stationed in various places to be able to carry out the reform smoothly, otherwise, the local officials below will not honestly cooperate with the government's reform."
Yan Zhonghua said with a smile, under the leadership of Li Han, the security army has a very tough attitude towards troublemakers in various places and cannot tolerate any opposition forces.
In the process of implementing the reform decree, many local officials colluded with local militia groups, or brought other factions to garrison troops in Chahar as foreign aid, violently resisting the French, but unfortunately they were all destroyed under the iron-blooded suppression of the security forces.
"Yan Lao doesn't have to worry about anything else, those who can't make the climate small."
The corners of Li Han's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a sneer. He had long known that the new policies implemented by the provincial government would hurt the interests of many people, especially the local officials, landlords and gentry below.
Most of these people rely on the collection of taxes and rents to enrich themselves, and now the Ministry of Finance has concentrated all tax powers in one go, and at the same time abolished miscellaneous taxes and cents in all places.
In addition, it was ordered that local government departments should not collect taxes on their own without an order from the provincial government, and after the local government funds were declared to the provincial government, after being reviewed by the provincial government, they were uniformly allocated by the Department of Finance, which cut off the livelihood of many people.
In addition, all government officials in all government departments, like those in the military, have opened accounts in banks run by the provincial government, and all salaries and benefits are paid directly to the accounts of public servants.
In terms of civil affairs, with the strong support of the provincial government, a large amount of farmland has been opened up in Chahar, and not only the local people have their own land, but also the more than 100,000 immigrants who came to Chahar through Shi Dingzhong's resettlement plan.
In addition, Li Han did not stop reforming the Mongols, and the wealthy Mongol princes lost most of their pastures under the government's new decree.
However, the accumulation of hundreds of years has made the wealth of these nobles very huge, and under the guidance of the government, they have also embarked on the road of investing and setting up factories, and they have become big businessmen one by one.
In fact, there are many natural conditions on the grassland, most of the herdsmen have a lot of cattle and sheep, if the cattle and sheep are killed, the mutton and sheepskin are not very valuable in Chahar, but after being transported outside the province, they immediately become a surgent commodity.
The same piece of sheepskin may only be able to buy one or two oceans in Chahar, but it is worth five oceans when it is sold in Beiping, and if it can be transported to Shanghai to buy, it is worth at least ten oceans, but ordinary herdsmen certainly do not have this condition, and the freight on the road alone exceeds the value of the sheepskin itself.
But the Mongol princes were different, and under the guidance of the government, they opened a large number of milk factories, tanneries, textile factories, garment factories, canning factories, etc.
One thing these factories have in common is that all the raw materials in their production process can be obtained from the province, and even some nearby herders can provide them.
The Mongol princes soon discovered that they were making much faster and more money by setting up factories and doing business than their ancestors had been collecting rents from herders for generations.
Not only that, in the past, every time they sent people to the herdsmen's homes to collect rent, they were faced with the gnashing of their teeth, although they did not care very much, but they would certainly not be happy in the face of the herdsmen's attitude.
But now it's different, after setting up a factory, they need a lot of workers, and the nearby herders naturally become the first choice, after all, they know each other well.
Now the herders are not only not poking them in the back, but they are very enthusiastic about them. Although the identity of the proprietor between the two has not changed, the treatment has changed 180 degrees.
But this is also normal, in the past, it was the Mongol princes who reached out to the herders to ask for money, but now they pay the herders to help them.
Not only did the Mongolian princes benefit, but the herdsmen also turned over, not only having their own pastures, but also working in various factories to make money.
Moreover, the cattle and sheep raised at home also earn a lot more than before, and even the wool that was not used before can now be sold to textile factories and garment factories for money.
Although this may not be able to become rich, the problem of food and clothing for a family of more than 10 people has finally been solved, and the smiles on the faces of the herdsmen can naturally be seen everywhere.
