Long Shenwu led the guard brigade from the south gate to southern Yunnan before Long Yun left, Zhuang Jihua did not make any reaction after receiving the report, and the remaining Yunnan army drove out of the city on the day after Long Yun left, and the escort team changed guards and entered the city.

The plane carrying Long Yun slowly disappeared in the sky, and Yunnan opened a new page from then on, which was completely different from the previous life.

The merchants in Kunming City prepared a labor and military expenses as in previous years, but when they asked President Shang to send it, they were rejected by Zhuang Jihua in person, and he told President Shang that in the future, all industrial and commercial people only need to pay taxes on time, and do not need to pay other taxes and fees, and the tax rate will imitate the tax rate of 2% in Chongqing, cancel all entry taxes, cancel the checkpoints in all parts of the province, and all goods can pass in the province as long as they pay taxes.

Chairman Shang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and even said that it was good, but Zhuang Jihua turned his head and told him that the implementation of this policy was subject to the control of the whole province by the new provincial political axe, and if the provincial political axe could not effectively control the whole province, then this policy was likely to fail, citing the examples of Yucheng and Sichuan.

"In the 16 counties of Yucheng, and even in the surrounding counties of more than a dozen counties, this policy has been undoubtedly implemented, but in some areas of northern and northwest Sichuan, why? It is that the control of the political axe is insufficient, and the local officials act recklessly. Mr. Shang, this policy can be implemented immediately in the surrounding areas of Kunming, but it will take time to implement it throughout the province. ”

Chairman Shang nodded and admitted that the businessmen of this era understood that strength is the backing that determines all policies.

Taking control of a province for the first time made Zhuang Jihua a little scrambling, he had never controlled such a large area, and there were so few cadres. He divided the command of the development team, Fan Hanjie was responsible for rectifying the Yunnan army that had laid down its arms, Li Anding was assigned to manage the police and party affairs, Liu Yuantang Wang Guobin was appointed as the deputy commander of the Kunming garrison, and the main force of the department was stationed outside Kunming, Lan Yundong led three regiments of nearly 6,000 people to the Zhaotong area, and Du Yuming Situ Fei led five detachments of 8,000 men and horses to the southern Yunnan movement to deter Lu Han.

After stabilizing the industrial and commercial enterprises in Kunming, the remnants of the Dian army are still the focus of Zhuang Jihua's attention, and the first thing is to deal with the soldiers of the Dian army waiting for reorganization outside the city.

"Brothers of the Dian army, I know that some of you think in your hearts that we are going to dismiss you, I can understand this kind of thinking, but what I want to say is that this kind of thinking is wrong, the purpose of reorganizing the army is to strengthen the army, not to dismiss the army, as long as there are no bad habits, you can stay."

Zhuang Jihua spoke to all the soldiers of the Yunnan army in the camp of the Yunnan army outside the city, he only brought Wu Ziniu and Lu Ruishan into the camp of the Yunnan army, so that Lu Junquan and Yang Yunxin, who were waiting at the gate, were both admired and worried, you must know that now the reorganization is Long Yun's guard regiment machine gun team, it is Long Yun's imperial forest army, and the officials at all levels are either Yi people or have followed Long Yun for a long time, and they are personally drawn out by Long Yun, and they are very loyal to Long Yun, and some young officers are not convinced by failure. They may incite soldiers to rebel at any time, but Zhuang Jihua came in like this.

"The reorganization team will soon enter the army, and then you will understand what the reorganization is, to tell the truth, the Dian Army is a force with a glorious tradition, from the Xinhai Revolution to the Protectorate War, and then to the Northern Expedition, the Dian Army has made great contributions to the country and the nation, such an army will never be dismissed, here I reiterate the promise made to General Hu Ying before entering the city, the Dian Army will form a separate unit, all officers are the former generals of the Dian Army, the minimum number is 20,000, equipment and military pay compared with the Central Army, General Lu Han and General Zhang Chong will be back soon, so you don't have to worry, there will be no dismissal. ”

Zhuang Jihua's words made the soldiers below a lot quieter, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared a lot.

"But I still have to talk about why the reorganization is and what the purpose of the reorganization is," Zhuang Jihua paused and continued: "The reorganization is first of all ideological rectification, the Yunnan army has a glorious tradition, the Protectorate War, General Cai Yi led the Yunnan army to defeat the Beiyang Army with a weak attack, which directly led to Yuan Shikai's resignation, and the Yunnan army at that time was majestic and supported by the whole country; But why did the Dian army gradually decline after that? There is only one reason, the Dian army has lost its revolutionary surname, is confused, and has degenerated into a tool of warlords, look at these years, in Yunnan Province, Tang Jiyao, Gu Pinzhen, Long Yun, they fought back and forth, fighting for the right to rule Yunnan, and the ultimate victims are still the people of Yunnan, an army that is not fighting for the country, but only for the generals, and the combat effectiveness of such an army can be imagined. You may not lack combat skills, but you lack the will to sacrifice for your country and your people,...。 ”

On the stage, Zhuang Jihua talked about the traditions of the Dian army, the reasons for the degeneration of the Dian army, the dangers of militarization of the army, the necessary surnames for the reorganization of the army, and then the current situation at home and abroad.

Yang Yunxin in the audience couldn't help it, and asked Lu Junquan next to him in a low voice: "Old Lu, you guys from the Whampoa Military Academy can talk like this, this is better than what you were able to talk about at the beginning." ”

Lu Junquan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was born in Yunnan Jiangwutang, but he went to the Huangpu Military Academy for rotation training that year, and later served as the captain of the third phase of the district. When he entered the school for rotation, the first batch of students was leaving the school one after another, and Zhuang Jihua was in the freezing period because of the national political axe, so he knew this person, but he had never been in contact with it during his time at school. In 27 years, when the situation was turbulent, he could not see the future development and changes, just when Lu Han sent a letter to invite, he returned to Yunnan to help Long Yun establish the Wutang Officer Candidate Brigade, and then he recruited Zeng Zesheng and Pan Shuoduan, who had fallen in Shanghai and were now prisoners in the Third Brigade. These Huangpu classmates also practiced the Huangpu style in Yunnan, emphasizing political education and ideological work, and established a set of military political systems. But later Wang Bailing went to Yunnan to supervise the Qing Communist Party, forcibly disbanded the alternate student brigade, he and Zeng Zesheng were arrested one after another, Pan Shuoduan was dismissed and expelled, until 31 years after the Yunnan-Guizhou War, the Yunnan army was defeated so that Long Yun realized that it was necessary to promote enterprising young officers in order to restore the combat effectiveness of the Yunnan army, and their Whampoa classmates were reactivated.

"Brother, listen carefully, Zhuang Wenge has always been like this, say first and then act, what he says is what he will do in the future." Lu Junquan whispered, Yang Yunxin's smile suddenly froze, he looked at Lu Junquan suspiciously, Lu Junquan nodded without hesitation, this time Yang Yunxin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly listened attentively.

It was almost noon after the end of the speech, Zhuang Jihua had lunch with the soldiers of the Yunnan army at the station, which was unexpected, the camp was not prepared at all, Yang Yunxin wanted to send someone to buy vegetables, Lu Junquan stopped again, he told Yang Yunxin to just set a table among the soldiers and soldiers, no need to make other preparations, Yang Yunxin looked at him with some suspicion.

"Zhuang Wenge has always been like this in the army, whether it was in the Seventh Company or the First Division later, his requirements for the officers are that the soldiers eat whatever the officers eat, and they are not allowed to make anything else, you have to take out the small canteen, and we are afraid that we will eat with the soldiers tomorrow." Lu Junquan explained lightly: At present, all officers of the reorganized units eat in small canteens, and their food is much better than that of soldiers, while Zhuang Jihua has always been famous in Huangpu, and when he was in the first division, except for division commander Wang Bailing and party representative Miao Bin, Zhuang Jihua did not care about them at all, and other officers were not allowed to engage in special activities.

Yang Yunxin was suspicious and prepared according to Lu Junquan's proposal, and sure enough, Zhuang Jihua was not dissatisfied, and looked at the ordinary meal and praised him with satisfaction: "Brother Zihui, it seems that you are worthy of coming out of Huangpu, and the representatives of the Huangpu Principal's Party were the same as us back then, and ate the same meal." The troops and those who were Huangpu classmates were all called, and everyone gathered. ”

"Yes," Lu Junquan ignored Yang Yunxin's eyes, turned his head to the adjutant on the side and said, "Call the commander of the first battalion, Chang Ping, the commander of the sixth company, Gui Dazhu, and Wan Changqing and Optimistic Lan of the second regiment." ”

Zhuang Jihua didn't expect that there were so many students from the Whampoa Military Academy in the Yunnan Army, this was an unexpected gain, and after a while, several people came over, Lu Junquan introduced to Zhuang Jihua one by one, and several Whampoa students saluted Zhuang Jihua, but their way was all Whampoa-style, not to call the chief, but to call the senior.

"Come, sit down, Head Yang, you sit down too," Zhuang Jihua was very interested, but his voice was a little hoarse, he spoke for too long today, and everyone sat down after Zhuang Jihua sat down.

After everyone chatted a few words, Zhuang Jihua brought the topic back to his track: "Brother Zihui, are there any difficulties in the army now?" ”

"Not for the time being, but it will be paid in a few days." Lu Junquan said cautiously that the stunned Guards Regiment had never been short of pay, and Lu Junquan was worried that once he could not receive his salary, the soldiers might make trouble.

"Before the reorganization, the military salary was still paid according to the original amount, and the original amount was as much, and when the time came, you sent someone to receive it, but you were not allowed to eat empty quotas." Zhuang Jihua said jokingly.

Lu Junquan knew that this was by no means a joke but a warning, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, the Guards Regiment has real soldiers and guns, and there is absolutely no vacancy. ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded, then looked at the food on the table and said, "This meal is too simple, how much is the food per soldier per day?" ”

"Two cents."

"Well, it's a little less, three cents a day, try to eat meat once every two days, I'll give you a warrant, and you will send someone to Brother Fan to ask for it later." Zhuang Jihua reminded again: "If the Yunnan currency is to be cancelled, it is best to exchange your money for fiat currency now." ”

Lu Junquan and the others nodded, Yang Yunxin looked at Lu Junquan and the others with some jealousy, and lamented in his heart that it seems that in the future, they will be born in Huangpu.

"Zihui, are you familiar with Lu Han?" Then Zhuang Jihua seemed to ask a little casually.

Lu Junquan nodded, Lu Han had a good relationship with him, even better than Long Yun's, but now Zhuang Jihua obviously wanted to fight Lu Han's idea, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Can you write a letter to him, just say that I sincerely invite him to come to Kunming to discuss the future of Yunnan." Zhuang Jihua said.

Lu Junquan thought for a while and asked, "Senior, is this true or false?" ”

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly and bitterly: "What do you want me to say to make him believe that I didn't lie to him?" ”

Lu Junquan was stunned, and after a while, he returned with the same wry smile: "Okay, I'll write to him." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly and added: "You tell him that I have reserved him the position of deputy commander of the garrison headquarters, commander, the principal has appointed Du Guangting, and he will be in command of the reorganized Yunnan army in the future." ”

Lu Junquan's eyes lit up, but Zhuang Jihua immediately added: "But I also have conditions, his troops must also accept reorganization, otherwise I would rather find someone else." ”

Lu Junquan and Yang Yunxin concluded at the same time that Zhuang Jihua did not tell a lie, and he really wanted to invite Lu Han back to Kunming to discuss the future of Yunnan.

"General Zhuang, I have long heard that you are good at fighting, and this time it is really extraordinary," Yang Yunxin said: "When Chairman Long wanted to cross the river, Commander Lu once found him and suggested not to cross the river, but unfortunately Chairman Long didn't listen. ”

"Good fighting?" Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "One general has achieved ten thousand bones, whether it is the Dian army or the escort team, it is the Chinese who are bleeding, and there is nothing to boast about." In command, the troops must be reorganized and retrained, especially the company and platoon tactics. With the equipment and tactical ability of the escort team, you can fight like this, and it will be even worse against your own army in the future. ”

These words made Lu Junquan and Yang Yunxin's faces red, and they also knew that the escort team only had a few thousand people when they fought with them in Huili at the beginning, but they beat the strongest An Enpu brigade in the Yunnan army into a daze, and asked for help one after another, knowing that after receiving the support of Liu Zhengfu's brigade, they barely fought with Wang Guobin, and their strength was one and a half times that of Wang Guobin.

"Cultural Revolution," Lu Junquan asked after changing his title, "Can you reveal how the troops will be reorganized?" ”

"Just like the reorganization of the Sichuan Army of the People's Republic of China," Zhuang Jihua did not evade, he didn't seem to worry about the consequences of these words: "But unlike the Sichuan Army back then, this time your reorganization, the officers have to return to the furnace and learn again." After the reorganization of the army, it is necessary to re-equip it, imitating the equipment of the German armament division, but the equipment can be changed, and the command ability must also follow closely, otherwise it will not be possible to give full play to the superiority of the equipment; after the work team is stationed, the officers must be gathered together and set up an officer training team, and after three months of training, the most outstanding results will enter the Yucheng Officer Training Corps to continue their studies. ”

Lu Junquan and Yang Yunxin exchanged glances and saw the suspicion on each other's faces, but Zhuang Jihua didn't look like he was lying to them. German Mechanic Division, in the Songhu War that year, the reports of German Mechanic Divisions were overwhelming, and even they knew it as far away as Yunnan. The entire Dian army should be equipped with Chengde Mechanic Division, which is also too incredible.

Zhuang Jihua didn't care so much, and when he left, he just reminded them lightly: "The era of Long Yun has passed, master the troops, don't serve for yourself anymore." ”

After Lu Han received Lu Junquan's letter, after two days of hesitation, he finally returned to Kunming, he could not help but come back, Du Yuming led 8,000 people to stop at the Chicken Street in front of Mengzi, Lu Han knew that this was waiting for him to make a statement, if the situation was not good, Du Yuming would lead the troops to pounce until they were eliminated or driven away.
