Liu Ying replied with a smile, "It's okay, anyway, the troops on our side have not yet completed the reorganization, and we still need to build up the police system, we have now liberated the entire territory of Fengtian, even if the civil affairs can be let go first, at least the public security has to be arrested, and it will take time." ”

"That's just as well." , Yuan Shikai nodded after hearing this, but he still had some regrets, "It's just that in this way, I don't know when I will be able to take Jilin and Heilongjiang." ”

Liu Ying waved his hand to signal that there was no need to worry, "Although Heilongjiang and Jilin are very large, the degree of development is far from being comparable with Fengtian, and the total population is only one-third of Fengtian, and they are basically bannermen who are more or less hostile to our army. I think it is better to do a thorough job of preparation work before starting to do so, and to crush all opposition forces with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and then quickly establish a new order, which is also the original intention of the party leader to temporarily set up the Northeast Theater. ”

After Yuan Shikai thought about it carefully, he had to admit that Li Hui was indeed thoughtful, while Liu Ying continued to introduce him to the current family background in the Northeast Theater.

"Although the frenzied attack of the Japanese army broke through our two outer defense lines before, because the Japanese army only sought to break through quickly, rather than focusing on killing and injuring our living forces, the casualties were actually not very large, plus a main regiment of Lushun transferred north, our total strength was still tens of thousands, as long as we recruited some new recruits, it was enough to form two complete infantry divisions." , Liu Ying analyzed with a smile, "In this case, when the First Cavalry Division goes south to converge, we will have one cavalry division and two infantry divisions available, plus the troops directly under the theater command, the total strength should be no less than 70,000 people!" In addition, the total number of gendarmerie and police that the headquarters can mobilize if necessary will also reach more than 20,000 people, and if you add it, it will be 100,000 troops! ”

"100,000 troops!" Although Yuan Shikai had long guessed that the authority of the commander of the Northeast Theater was not small, he never thought that he would become the commander of the 100,000 army so quickly, "Even if it is a golden bone, it doesn't need to be to this extent, right?" Li Dongyang really looks up to me Yuan! ”

Even if he had long been accustomed to hypocrisy, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but feel a sense of "death for a confidant" for a while. However, Yuan Shikai was a little apprehensive while being moved, "There are so many outstanding generals in your party, but it is not appropriate to hand over such an important position to an outsider like Yuan?" ”

"There are indeed many excellent middle-level officers in the revolutionary army, but there is still a shortage of qualified senior officers, after all, the time of our uprising is still too short, and the generals have not emerged so quickly, so we can only use some ready-made ones first, such as Weiting. There will be no more missed opportunities like this, Weiting, you must seize it! Liu Ying bluntly said the temporary difficulties of the Datong Party, and at the same time persuaded Yuan Shikai to say, "What's more, if you are not a member of the Datong Party now, it does not mean that you will not be in the future, as long as Weiting can guarantee to abide by the discipline of our party, the door of the Datong Party will be open to you at any time." ”

Yuan Shikai fell into deep thought after hearing this, the discipline of the Datong Party is undoubtedly very strict, but he Yuan Shikai always loves power the most, although it is impossible to join the Datong Party in life as good as before, but the huge power is enough to make up for the material losses, so what can not be abandoned? After thinking about this, Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and said resolutely, "I will immediately disperse the family wealth, dismiss the concubines and servants, and ask Political Commissar Liu to introduce me to the party!" ”

Yuan Shikai's determination made Liu Ying very pleased, but he still had to clarify some of Yuan Shikai's misunderstandings, "This is not necessary, the existing aunt wife is a legacy of the old society, and we can't simply beat the mandarin ducks, as long as they are willing to continue to stay, we can't drive people out, but they must obtain an equal status with their wives, and they can no longer be treated like before, what to do, you discuss with your family; The same is true for slaves, but if you want to keep them, you need to re-sign a contract with them, break off their personal dependencies, and hire them only for domestic service. ”

"As for scattering all the family wealth, it is even more unnecessary, we will not ask for the property with a clean background, even if it is not so innocent, as long as there is no complaint from the bitter master, it is also a legacy of the former Qing Dynasty, and the Datong Party will not pursue it, but you just need to take stock of your current property and report it to the record." , The more Yuan Shikai listened, the more the expression on his face stretched, but suddenly it froze instantly, because Liu Ying talked about the land

"Datong party members can be big rich people, but they must not be landlords, even if they are just small landlords." Liu Ying said with a serious face, "However, the judgment criteria are still relatively relaxed, and a family that occupies more than 30 acres of cultivated land or operates a loan shark will be designated as a landlord." But since there is no shortage of money in your family, then don't be nostalgic for the cultivated land in your hometown, the whole family is the right way to go to the city, and the city is the focus of future national development! ”

When Yuan Shikai heard this, his expression softened, and he thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for the advice of the political commissar, I will write a letter to ask my family to sell the land and enter the city, so that it will be convenient for the children to go to new school." ”

"That's exactly how it should be." , Liu Ying also laughed, and then added, "Don't cheat people when selling land, it's too immoral to turn the seller into a landlord, of course, if it's a guy who is rich and unkind, then I didn't say it, haha." ”

So the matter of Yuan Shikai's joining the party was decided, Liu Ying was the introducer, and Li Hui personally guaranteed it, which was enough to save face. With the Yuan family as an example, more and more old officials also followed the trend and sold land to the city, which to a certain extent alleviated the class contradictions in the countryside and allowed the nationwide land reform to be postponed slightly, which somewhat eased the work pressure of the people's government.

At the same time, this also promoted China's urbanization and the development of capitalist industry and commerce, but due to a lack of experience, not many of the first private enterprises were able to really develop and grow, and because of various unbounded behaviors caused many social problems, but that is for another time

After a short digression, the two got back to business, the 100,000 army was certainly exciting, but the logistical pressure also skyrocketed, fortunately, there was still the Liao River water transport to use, and the First Cavalry Brigade captured a large number of mules and horses on the grassland, so the problem was not too big. This reassured Yuan Shikai that there was no problem with logistics support, and he could devote more of his mind to overall planning and planning (to be continued.) )
