When the two great men heard Zeng Xiangyang's introduction, they were very excited to learn that Li Jiansheng, a young man, had only relied on more than 10 people, and in just three or two years, he had been so prosperous in southern Hunan. So let's go to the radio and listen to the situation. As a result, Li Jiansheng's first sentence was to ask the two of them how they were doing, and they were all warm in their hearts. Later, I looked at Li Jiansheng and said, "I believe that with Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, we must have repelled the enemy." In fact, the two great men are both broad-minded people, if they say it like this, the effect is not so good, but the two of them looked at the development and were very reluctant at that time, Li Jiansheng, because of this age, it really made them sigh. Perhaps, in the minds of the two great men, this Li Jiansheng is "childlike words", and what he said at this time is the absolute most heartfelt words!

Therefore, while talking happily, the two great men asked about Li Jiansheng's development. Although I have already heard Zeng Xiangyang say something, after all, I don't have a comprehensive understanding, and now I directly listen to Li Jiansheng, the situation is different. This time, I heard that Li Jiansheng had made great progress again in the period of time after Zeng Xiangyang left, and established four major revolutionary base areas, including southern Hunan, northern Guangdong, northeast Guangxi, and southwestern Jiangxi, and had been linked into a piece, with a total of 32 county-level red regimes under his jurisdiction; The armed forces include 25 battalions of the main force and 34 battalions of local independent battalions, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people. You must know that in addition to the fact that the army cannot be compared with the central government, in terms of the territory under its control, I am afraid that it is comparable to the central Soviet region!

Next, the two great men chatted with Li Jiansheng about some other things, mainly about other situations in Li Jiansheng's revolutionary base area in southern Hunan. Li Jiansheng replied one by one, and by the way, he also pointed out that the development of the troops on his side was too fast, and it would be nice if the central authorities could send some old Red Army, especially political backbones. There was a pause for a while, apparently the two great men were discussing, and finally gave a very cheerful reply: although the Central Red Army had been reduced in force after continuous campaigns, it was still decided to send 300 old Red Army troops to Li Jiansheng's department, but no more, because they had to prepare for a possible fourth encirclement and suppression by the enemy. Li Jiansheng was overjoyed and thanked. sighed that a few old chiefs were interesting enough, and in such a situation, they agreed to send elite soldiers to themselves to strengthen the future.

In the course of the chat, Mao and Zhu asked Li Jiansheng about the current plans of the department, mainly in terms of the number of the troops. Li Jiansheng said that he resolutely obeyed the words of the party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, and still uses the name of the South Hunan Independent Regiment, and he also gave a detailed account of the process of taking this name in the first place, and finally expressed his position, and as for the future, everything will be decided by the leadership.

There was a moment of silence. After a while, I finally called: Li Jiansheng's department can consider upgrading to the legion, but the specific situation is up to Li Jiansheng to decide according to the situation.

Li Jiansheng looked at it and was surprised and delighted. This great man is really willing to do it, and it is a legion as soon as he gives it. And himself, isn't this the commander of the legion? Depend on! Cowhide! Later, I thought about it again, in fact, with these military forces under my subordinates, it was really a legion's shelf. Li Jiansheng, who studied history, knew that during the Long March, the main force of the Red Army was often only a few thousand people!

However, after being so happy twice, Li Jiansheng had another question: Shouldn't this unit be upgraded to the headquarters and be under the control of the headquarters? In other words, if the central government does not approve of it, they are afraid that they will not be able to upgrade casually. These two great men give themselves a "self-determination according to the situation", which is too broad? This question was a question that I wanted to ask right away, but fortunately, he reacted quickly when he studied history, and immediately remembered that at this time in history, the number of the Red Army did not have a clear standard, and most of them were self-inflicted, and it was only later that they were unified and planned! Thinking of this, Li Jiansheng understood it, so he didn't say anything more, but just said: Resolutely obey the command! Resolutely listen to the words of the party and Chairman Mao!

I have to say that Li Jiansheng really guessed accurately, the reason why the two great men gave Li Jiansheng such a thing after a short discussion is of course because they love Li Jiansheng, but also because at the moment, as Li Jiansheng thinks, the number of this Red Army unit is really not credible! In fact, it was not until the middle of 1934 that the Central Committee officially planned the Red Army for the first time!

After this conversation, Li Jiansheng devoted himself to army training. He knew that in the past, his troops developed so rapidly because the Kuomintang authorities were dragged to death by the Central Red Army and had no time to take care of him, so he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to develop to the current situation; But this free time will not be too long, and once the reactionary authorities come to their senses, especially the territory occupied by their own troops, they will surely become a thorn in the enemy's side and a thorn in the flesh, and the next battles will not only be many, but also very fierce. Therefore, the only way to do this is to train the troops!

Li Jiansheng paid close attention to military training, and he sank into the front line every day. As for the development of the base areas, it was completely handed over to the Soviet power headed by He Changming. Fortunately, He Changming was good at this, coupled with the ability of the cadres of the red regime at the county level in various localities, and the previous seizures of the troops were abundant, and the four territories of southern Hunan, northern Guangdong, northeastern Guangxi, and southwestern Jiangxi were soon impressive.

A month later, the backbone sent by the Central Soviet Region accompanied Zeng Xiangyang and others to the southern Hunan base area. Li Jiansheng, who had been reorganizing the army in Lechang, got the news in advance and immediately rushed to Yizhang, where he warmly received these people. Li Jiansheng has some knowledge of these people, but most of them don't know each other. However, as soon as he looked at the ability of those people, Li Jiansheng knew that these were all veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and he was overjoyed.

That night, Li Jiansheng mainly thought about the whole army. After an all-nighter, I finally got the plan for the whole army.

At the beginning of the program, the first core issue that Li Jiansheng considered was that most of the backbone Red Army cadres from the Central Soviet Region were assigned to posts at the battalion and company levels, and a small part to regimental posts. In fact, the matter of upgrading the troops was not considered. It's just that at this time, Li Jiansheng felt that it was really necessary for his troops to be reorganized, because the establishment of this battalion was too much, which was not conducive to command. Which regiment is this? It's even a strengthened regiment that doesn't stop! The whole legion! Later, I thought that those two great men supported their own reorganization, so let's rectify it! In this way, it took time!

A week later, the "Formal Establishment of the Provisional Soviet Government of the Hunan-Guangdong-Guizhou-Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Area and the Inaugural Meeting of the Red Eighteenth Army Corps" was held in Yizhang. He Changming presided over the meeting, and Li Jiansheng made an important speech.
