Chapter 682: Recuperate
Despite this, in the evening, Hannah did not really punch Zhao Guanhou's face, but lay in Zhao Guanhou's arms, and he recounted Shandong's development plan and reconstruction plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although this war ended in victory in Shandong, the price paid by the weak enemy was also shocking.
Zhao Guanhou's tactics belong to the same way of playing, although the Fusang people are subject to supply difficulties, so that the battle is lost, but in order to achieve this tactic, Shandong also has to make himself suffer five labors and seven injuries. A large number of fields were artificially abandoned, and the people's rations for the next half a year had to be found by Zhao Guanhou.
The implementation of the strong wall and field operation in the entire Jiaodong area has led to huge losses in Shandong's economy, and this part of the loss, the government is destined not to give subsidies to Shandong, but Shandong wants to subsidize the people. The resettlement of the people returning to their homes, the repair of war-damaged houses, the supply of food for the next half of the year, and the compensation for the loss of property all have to be cut from Shandong itself.
Another issue is the placement of soldiers. This time, Shandong implemented a wartime general mobilization mechanism, and the total number of mobilized troops was close to 150,000. With so many troops, the expenditure on military spending is naturally not a small number. Post-war pensions, bonuses, especially the benefits of the Lu army are the highest in the public, and the expenses are even more amazing.
It is the essence of war, and in the final analysis, it is still an economic contest, and without economic support, no strong army can be maintained for a long time. If Shandong does not have sufficient financial resources, after winning the war, it will then declare bankruptcy due to financial exhaustion.
Although Hannah majored in geology, she also dabbled in economics, and after listening to the narration, she showed a gentle smile and took the initiative to hug Zhao Guanhou.
"God, when you say this, it's like a great emperor. I'm touched by the pressure you put on so much and try your best to please me. So...... I've decided to let you pass. If it weren't for you, perhaps I would have been requisitioned by Wadeck to work as a nurse and dragged to the house by some bloodied soldier. I don't want to serve my country in that way. It's better to be with you than with a soldier or an officer you don't know. Actually, I decided a long time ago to forgive you for what you did. During the Battle of Weifang, I prayed to the Lord every day, hoping that you would come back safely. But I don't want you to know about these things, lest you laugh at me......"
"After the Fusang people got out of Shandong, this is the best news I heard. How worried I am that if you never forgive me, I will feel guilty and our future relationship will become difficult. Now, I'm finally relieved. ”
Zhao Guanhou asked with a smile, "What did your relatives tell you today?" Or rather, do they have any difficulties? We are a family, and where I can, I will definitely help. ”
Hannah's hand clenched quietly, shook her head, and said, "No, we just talked about some things from the past, and nothing important." Their lives...... Very good, I think all they need is a job and learning to get along with Chinese as equals. You've given them enough, and they'll need to fight for the rest. I can't help you with your difficulties, but I can help you relax...... Just like it is now. ”
Sacrifices for the dead, condolences to wounded soldiers, awards for meritorious soldiers, and even preparations for post-war reconstruction. The post-war resettlement was not much easier than the pre-war preparations, and any problem in any link could plunge the residents who had finally hoped for victory into another state of despair.
The victory in the Battle of Shandong was inseparable from the support of the people, and the people's support was not an empty word, but was transformed into actual combat strength. The support of the people must be reciprocated sufficiently, otherwise, this popular support will be exhausted sooner or later.
Although the war ended, Zhao Guanhou's life did not become more leisurely, but more busy. Even King Qing's funeral, he only participated in a small part, most of the time, food and lodging, all on the blue steel float.
It has been a month since the Fuso Army withdrew from Shandong, and the weather has turned from late spring to mid-summer. Outside the car window, in the fields, you can already see the farmers at work.
Since the pre-Jin era, the common people who have struggled all the way to survive and survived to the republican era have become accustomed to bearing all the disasters by themselves, and attribute all the problems to the life state of fate. No matter what natural and man-made disasters are encountered, it has become the norm to pay no less taxes and not reduce the amount of forced labor that should be served.
As it is now, the relief model of the Shandong government distributing relief materials, growing grain, and low-interest loans plus agricultural tools is a blessing that has never been enjoyed before. In many peasant homes, simple statues of Zhao Guanhou and Su Hanzhi began to replace the husband and wife of the stove king.
Under this kind of encouragement, the people's enthusiasm for production has become even higher, even if the government has given guarantees that it will distribute relief food funds to prevent the people from starving because of the famine. These farmers still work in the fields with the mentality of repaying their gratitude, hoping to reduce some losses by their own efforts. If you can solve the problem of food and clothing by yourself, you can't go to get relief food with a clear conscience.
Members of the women's task force went into the countryside to do sensitization work to women, encouraging women to go to the city to find work and reduce the burden on their families. The crops are strict with time, and the situation in the factory is much better, and earning a salary can always subsidize the family. In addition, girls who don't have families can also go to the Lu military camp to find a pleasing man to marry, which is also a good way out.
After the war, the Lu army issued a large amount of bonuses, and everyone who participated in the war had a prize for their outstanding performance. Many of these GIs have not yet started a family, and now they have a thick pocket, so of course they want to marry a daughter-in-law. They have money and a future, which is a good target for choosing a mate.
Among them, some of them are disabled soldiers, who have suffered irreparable injuries in the war, and it is difficult to do things in the army in the future. Although Zhao Guanhou will give preferential compensation to such soldiers, he will not only give more severance pay, but also arrange work. However, physical disability is something that cannot be helped, and these people face greater difficulties in marriage than ordinary people.
These female propagandists all have manuals written by Zhao Guanhou himself, which have detailed explanations of speech techniques, as well as tutorials on what to say to whom and what to say. They first introduced the brutality of the Fuso soldiers, how unfortunate the village where the tragedy occurred, and especially the extent to which women would suffer.
Then I will talk about how these disabled soldiers are brave and why they become crippled. The most important thing is that the marshal will not forget these wounded soldiers, those mutilated limbs are the best military medals, and if there is anything good in the future, they and their families are the priority objects.
The propaganda has achieved great results in the countryside, and these disabled soldiers have become more sought-after than normal soldiers, especially the parents of the girls, who are very interested in these disabled soldiers, and are asking how to marry their daughters, and how much bride price and benefits the other party can give.
Leaning on the window of the car and looking out, you can see the Yangge team, the drummers, and the lively performances outside the car. That is someone knows that this car is a special train of the big handsome, and he came to perform and smile at the big handsome.
Yang Cuiyu leaned over and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The common people, I really love you from the bottom of my heart." After seeing the perverse actions of those Fuso soldiers, everyone knew it in their hearts. Without you, the handsome, I will become a citizen of Fusang, and when the time comes, I will suffer the sin. Everyone is willing to support you, the king of Shandong, and even my secretariat, there are many beautiful girls who want to come in and work. I asked them all to take pictures, when will you take a look at them and pick a few lovely ......"
Before she finished speaking, she exclaimed, Zhao Guanhou had already held her in his arms. She struggled softly, "No...... People outside, in case you see ......"
"Whoever makes you naughty, of course you will be punished." Although Zhao Guanhou said this, he still lowered the baffle and cut off the outside view. On his special train, there will never be a shortage of women's slender figures, and it is precisely because of the entertainment of beauties that he can always maintain his enthusiasm for work. On the train this time, it was Yuqing and Cuiyu, the two sworn friends in the inner house.
His hand reached into the jade clothes and teased his secretary head, "Our consolation is not small, you can give him a sister......
"You let me give birth...... I will give birth, and I can give birth as much as I want. "Although Jade is from the Qing Dynasty, she can mix into an Oiran head card in the Eight Hutongs, and there is no shortage of means. Naturally, he knew how to deal with his husband's enthusiasm, and how to turn his enthusiasm into a fire that swallowed both of them. But just when Zhao Guanhou was about to correct her on the spot, she suddenly said
"Gege is in ...... I can't get ahead of her. You also know that Gege is in a bad mood, and for the sake of filial piety, he can't serve you for a few years, and his heart is actually very uncomfortable. She has a stubborn temperament, and she won't say this kind of thing, but it doesn't mean that she is not bitter in her heart. You go and see Gege first, and I'll accompany you when you get back. She pushed her husband away, and then smiled attractively
"I brought a military uniform and a set of nurse's clothes, go change into them first, and wait for you in the rest car."
After finishing the funeral of King Qing, Yuqing returned to work, and Shandong's intelligence agency had no branch in Fusang, so there was no way to know the situation there. However, after cooperating with Albiang, Albiang made an exception and shared some intelligence information with Shandong.
Although the priority and level of this part of the information are not too high, and there is a serious lag. However, for Shandong's intelligence agencies, it can already be regarded as important news that cannot be changed. Even on the train, her attention was more focused on these intelligence contents, and it wasn't until Zhao Guanhou picked her up that she screamed, and then twisted Zhao Guanhou's arm hard
"Look for Jade! I have to dress Amma in filial piety, I can't mess around with you......"
"I know that you have to keep the old etiquette, and I can't force you. It's just a hug, don't do anything, it's okay. My goodness, we haven't been like this in a long time. ”
Yuqing's heart was sweet, she originally thought that the foreign woman was robbed, and her favor would be thin, but now it seems that her charm is still the same. She responded to her husband's aggression with a smile and whispered, "Wait until I am filial...... Whatever you want. ”
"How's it going overseas? Look at what you're looking at, there's something fun? ”
"Absolutely. Although this information is outdated, it is also a great treasure for us. I'm willing to bet that even the Republic of War would not have been able to get such detailed overseas intelligence. ”
Yuqing's expression was quite excited, even in the pre-Jin era, she was granted the status of the clan by King Qing and assigned to marry a certain prince. At best, she can only manage the family's account books, and she has no access to military affairs, especially military intelligence. Only Zhao Guanhou will give her power and hand over the intelligence power of Shandong to her. She was also extremely happy to have access to this level of confidentiality, and she was also touched from the bottom of her heart.
"There was already chaos in Fuso, and the navy withdrew without authorization, although the new Minister of the Navy, Yuzaburo Kato, came forward to endorse it, saying that Kato Masayoshi's fleet had discovered the traces of the Prussian fleet and led the army to pursue before leaving Qingdao. Moreover, after the defeat of the army, the navy was indeed unable to independently complete the task of capturing Qingdao, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. However, the army blamed the defeat on the poor naval aid and the untimely delivery of supplies. Kenichi Oshima, the new Minister of War, insisted that Kato be brought before a military tribunal. Since Oshima was born as an adjutant of Yama Prefecture Aritomo, his opinion can be regarded as a mouthpiece to replace Yama Prefecture Aritomo. His opinion is the opinion of Youpeng in Shanxian County. The situation almost reached the point where the cart hit the wall. On the other hand, the death of Emperor Fuso and the delay in the election of a new emperor are, in the final analysis, that is, the army and navy will not give up the heir they support. When Amma was sober, he said that the struggle for the throne and the disaster of the heir are the first in the world. Let's wait, maybe in a few days, Fuso will make a big mess. The more chaotic they are, the more peaceful we are. ”
Zhao Guanhou and Yuqing put their faces together, and said softly: "I'm sorry...... When the prince left, I couldn't rush back to the funeral, because it was my son-in-law's fault...... You blame me too. ”
"No, if Amma knew that his son-in-law, who had become a field marshal at a young age, was too late to be happy, how could he blame you. You have so many things, you have to negotiate with the Fuso people, if you come back for the funeral, who will take care of the previous things. I'm not an unreasonable woman, and I won't embarrass you. I want you to be well, for me, my son, to lay a great land. If you don't treat me well, I won't be alive. ”
When the two of them were grinding their ears and temples, Yuqing said in her heart: Fusang civil strife, Taixi war, today is already in chaos. Perhaps, in the future, this man can take himself to live in the Forbidden City and restore the glory of his ancestors, and this day will definitely come.
