Chapter 146: Development Chahar

After Feng Yuxiang went through this incident, he was already a little disheartened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, he had easily developed more than 100,000 people, and he would definitely not be willing to give up easily. Now is no longer the early days of the Republic of China, even if it fails, there is still a chance to make a comeback.

However, a small number of the Northwest Army, the Northeast Volunteer Army, the Rehe Army and a considerable part of the Army were ready to fall to the center, unwilling to follow him and establish themselves as kings.

The central government also sent the Northwest Army, the Central Army, and the Jin Army to move closer to the Chahar border to deter Feng Yuxiang's troops through powerful troops.

In addition, Lao Feng has also waited for the news, and the Northeast Volunteer Army and the Rehe Army led by Deng Wen have already negotiated with the people sent by the central government and are ready to follow the central government.

The Northeast Volunteer Army is a real anti-Japanese force, if it were not for the anti-Japanese resistance, they may have surrendered to the Japanese army and become the puppet Manchukuo army, so that most of them can also make a fortune and be promoted, and they will definitely not risk their lives from the Northeast all the way to Chahar.

For them, the anti-Japanese struggle must of course follow the central government. At that time, the concept of the Northeast people was very simple, either the government army or the beard, and the Northeast Volunteer Army was originally transformed from a beard to a regular army, and of course they did not want to go back to being a beard.

When Feng Yuxiang saw that the situation had developed to such an extent, he knew that the general situation was inviolable, and if he persisted, it was estimated that Chiang Kai-shek would take action against him. So he was forced to announce the dissolution of the Allied Army, and at the same time handed over power to Tong Linge.

The fact that such a complex force of the alliance can be combined is entirely because Feng Yuxiang has great prestige, and now that Feng Yuxiang doesn't want to do it, the alliance will naturally not be able to maintain it.

Tong Linge was a member of the Northwest Army, and with Feng Yuxiang's intention, he also intended him to accept Song Zheyuan's reorganization, so Tong Linge directly joined the 29th Army with the main force of tens of thousands of allied troops.

And Tong Linge, who was already disheartened, was also invited by Song Zheyuan to the 29th Army as the deputy commander on the grounds of national righteousness.

After Song Zheyuan incorporated most of the Northwest Army in the Allied Army, he directly expanded the 29th Army into four divisions of more than 60,000 people. Moreover, most of the equipment of the Allied Army was inherited by the 29th Army, which also included more than 30 mountain cannons originally belonging to Tang Yulin.

After the incorporation of the Allied Army, the 29th Army has been qualitatively improved in terms of strength and weaponry, and has become a decisive force in North China.

Other parts of the Allied Army, such as Zhang Lingyun, Feng Zhanhai, Deng Wen, and other troops, expressed their willingness to accept the reorganization of the central government and were reorganized into various parts of Chahar. Li Han's 145th Brigade was also upgraded to the Chahar Provincial Security Army, and the defense area was expanded to the entire Chahar Province.

Originally, according to the practice of the Republic of China, the security commander would concurrently serve as the provincial chairman, although Li Han was not yet the security commander, but his security army had begun to gradually take over the defense work of Chahar Province, and in essence, the rights of the provincial security commander were similar.

However, the Nationalist Government did not give Li Han the position of chairman of Chahar Province, but Qin Dechun, a twenty-ninth person, served as the chairman of Chahar Province.

Fortunately, except for the provincial chairman, the official positions in other government departments were basically taken by Li Han.

For example, Wang Wei is now the vice chairman of Chahar Province, and the four departments of finance and civil affairs, finance, construction, and education under the jurisdiction of the provincial government are all Li Han's people.

Among them, Shi Dingzhong was appointed as the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, Yan Zhonghua was appointed as the director of the Department of Finance by Li Han because he made money, and of course he also served as the head of Xuanhua City.

However, not all allied forces were willing to accept the reorganization of the Nationalist Government, and more than 10,000 troops including Fang Zhenwu, Ji Hongchang, and Liu Guitang refused to accept the reorganization and were determined to use force to confront the Nationalist Government.

Not only that, but they also set up their own mountains and played the banner of resisting Japan and fighting against thieves, and more than 10,000 troops raised troops to the south to prepare to attack Beiping under the banner of resisting Japan, and seemed to intend to use Beiping as their base area.

However, after conquering Miyun and Huairou, the thief army went through several battles, and was finally surrounded by the Shang Zhen Department of the Jin Sui Army, the Du Yuming Department of the Central Army, and the Pang Bingxun Department of the Northwest Army in the Changping area.

After several days of fierce fighting, there were only a few hundred people left in the thief army, and they had to announce that they had to accept the reorganization. But Fang Zhenwu and Ji Hongchang escaped in disguise.

When the thief army began to attack Beiping, Li Han knew that the only remaining strength of the allied army was finished, even if it was better to go north into the northeast region to fight guerrilla attacks with devils.

Fang Zhenwu, Liu Guitang and others obviously confused anti-Japanese and anti-Chiang, even if they hit the foot of Beiping, but there are still tens of thousands of people from the 29th Army near Beiping, can it be that the thief army treats him as air.

However, Li Han can't take care of all this for the time being, and his mind is now focused on developing Chahar.

Originally, he just wanted to get the territory of Chahar, but he didn't expect to take the entire Chahar unexpectedly, although the chairman of the provincial government is still Qin Dechun, and there are more than 20,000 people of Feng Zhanhai's 63rd Army in the Huailai area, but this does not hinder Li Han's enthusiasm for building Chahar.

Li Han understood that if he wanted to develop Chahar, he first had to provide a stable environment.

Chahar had just experienced the turmoil of the Great War with the Japanese army, and then the Chahar Allied Army was forced to disband, although most of the army was absorbed, but many troops were still dismissed on the spot, which brought a great threat to the security of Chahar.

For example, Wang Ying, who was originally a bandit, became a bandit again after the disbandment of the alliance.

There is also the Chahar Self-Defense Army, a force of more than 10,000 people was directly banned by the Nationalist Government, and after the disbandment of the department, it returned to the locality, and Zhang Lisheng, the commander of the Self-Defense Army, finally got an idle post as an adviser to the provincial government.

In order to get a thorough grasp of Chahar, Li Han summoned the relevant personnel of the government department and the main officers of the military system to a meeting.

"Military seat, what does the national government really mean, since it has upgraded our brigade to an army, but only gives our army a division number, is this looking down on us?"

"Hu Zhi, what are you muttering about, do you still want you to teach you how to do things in the Military Commission, do you think that the regiment commander's officer is too small and wants to be the division commander!"

Li Han sat on the main seat, looked at Hu Zhi with a somewhat unkind face and said. Seeing that Li Han was a little angry, Hu Zhi smiled wryly and didn't say much.

In fact, Li Han didn't think like this, the Military Commission played this hand really beautifully, giving the position of provincial chairman to Qin Dechun, but the 145th Brigade was promoted to the security army of Chahar Province, responsible for the defense and security of the whole province, the purpose of which was to restrict Song Zheyuan from continuing to grow bigger in North China.

But in the same way, the Nationalist Government was not at ease with itself, and was also worried that he would become bigger in Chahar, so it only gave itself the establishment of a 145th division of the security army.

Not only that, but in the Shangdu and Kangbao areas, there were several regiments stationed after the original allied troops were absorbed, which also brought great trouble to the military and political unification of Chahar by Li Han, of course, all this was just trouble.

"Wang Wei, Shi Lao, Director Yan, you have been working in the provincial government department for a while, I don't know if you have any plans now."

The affairs of the government departments have always been in charge of the three of them, and since the main force of the 29th Army has now been transferred to the Pingjin-Hebei region, Qin Dechun basically doesn't care much about Chahar's affairs, and at present, Chahar's political affairs are handled by Li Han.

After having the territory of Beiping and Tianjin, as well as the whole province of Hebei, Song Zheyuan really looked down on Chahar.

The cities of Tianjin and Peiping alone have more population than the population of the whole province of Chahar. As for the gross production value, it is even more incomparable to the poor countryside of Chahar.

The only advantage was that the area of Chahar was large enough, but because of the Japanese, the large area not only failed to become an advantage, but made the 29th Army a little defenseless against the Japanese.

And because the Allied forces inflicted heavy losses on the 8th Division of the Japanese Army in Chahar, Chahar is now a thorn in the side of the Japanese people.

Such a land of right and wrong, only people like Li Han who have no choice will want it, Song Zheyuan already has a rich territory in Hebei Province, of course, he doesn't want to stick to the Japanese because of Chahar.

"Junzao, Chahar's foundation is very thin, and if we want to take root and develop here, we must make great efforts. In the past half a month, Director Shi and Director Yan and I have almost run around Chachahar.

There are still some small workshops in Chajian, textile mills, tanneries and the like, but there is no need to say that there is nothing here, and if you want to develop, you must start from scratch. Wang Wei said.

"In addition to what Vice Chairman Wang said, because the allied army was disbanded, there are retired soldiers in all parts of Chahar, and these people used to be members of the militia or security group, and most of them are counting on military salaries to support their families.

After being dismissed, they suddenly lost their financial resources, and many people have been reduced from anti-Japanese heroes to bandits who block the road and rob them.

This has caused a lot of trouble for the security of Chahar, and if you don't want to find a way to solve these problems, I don't think any businessman will want to come to Chahar to do business. ”

Yan Chihuo is the director of the Department of Finance, and he is also a big businessman, he knows that businessmen want to have a stable environment the most, and no one wants the goods he bought at a large price to be robbed by bandits in the end, and even lose his life.

Although a businessman is profit-seeking, no matter how profit-seeking he is, he is not as good as his own life, so what's the use of making so much money without even his life.

"Lao Yu is the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, so let's talk about the people's livelihood, if the military seat wants to develop Chahar, the first thing to do is to fill the stomachs of the people of Chahar.

In order to fill in the stomachs of the common people, it is necessary to open up a large number of wasteland and cultivate land. Chahar has an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, but there are only a little more than 2 million people, and even if 80 percent of the grassland is removed, the remaining area is enough for each person in the province to share dozens of acres of land.

In addition to cultivating wasteland, we also have to migrate from the surrounding provinces, although Chahar has a small population, but the surrounding Hebei, Shanxi, and a little farther Henan and Shandong provinces have a large population, as long as our conditions are attractive enough, we do not have to worry about finding immigrants. ”

Judging from Li Han's series of performances, Shi Dingzhong knew that Li Han just wanted to occupy the territory of Chahar. However, Shi Dingzhong not only did not dislike this, but decided to fully support Li Han to do so.

Because only when Chahar becomes stronger, Li Han's security army will also be stronger, Chahar is not a stable place, without the support of a strong army, it may be swallowed by the Japanese at any time.
