Chapter 841: September Meeting

Chapter 841 September Meeting

On September 26, Shandong Bureau held an enlarged meeting in Dadian. Present at the meeting were members of the Shandong Bureau, responsible persons of various departments, heads of units of the Shandong Military Region and instructors in central and southern Shandong, responsible persons of various departments of the Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, and principal responsible persons of the central base areas of southeastern Shandong, southern Shandong, central Shandong, and Taiyi.

The venue is located in the compound of the instructor's department, and a simple rostrum is arranged against the wall, and the party flag and the portrait of Zhu De are hung in the center.

The meeting was presided over by Luo Ronghuan, second secretary of the Shandong Bureau, Shandong Military Region, and political commissar of the instructor, Li Yu reported on the work of the Senate of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, Guo Hongtao reported on the party's organizational building work, Zhu Rui reported on the local armed forces construction work, and Guo Zihua gave a briefing on the experience of building the base area in southeastern Shandong.

Li Yu's report was well prepared and comprehensive, focusing on four aspects: the building of political power in the base areas, the building of the fiscal and taxation system, the construction of industrial and agricultural production, the construction of cultural, educational, and public health undertakings, and the construction of communications.

In terms of political power building, Li Yu reported that up to now, all 108 counties in Shandong Province have established anti-Japanese democratic governments, of which the western Luxi region, the southwestern Shandong region, the southeastern Shandong region, the Jiaodong region, the Jiaolai region, and the Yimeng mountain area are all under our control. Most of the Lunan region, Taixi region, Qinghe area, and central Luzhong area are controlled by us, and the Japanese puppet control railway lines and some towns, which belong to semi-consolidated base areas; The Hebei-Shandong border, northwestern Shandong, Jinan, Qingdao, and Weihai cities were under the control of the Japanese puppet, and the regime of our anti-Japanese democratic government was in a guerrilla state behind enemy lines and belonged to guerrilla areas. The three counties of Lunan that were originally assigned to the Sulu Theater and the base area of the Shandong Provincial Government have now all fallen and have also become Japanese-occupied areas, and our anti-Japanese democratic regime has always been in a state of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

In terms of fiscal and taxation construction, Li Yu reported that Bohai Yinhai has sufficient capital, issued renminbi, and carried out renminbi and fiat currency deposit and loan business. At present, Bohai Bank has opened branches in all base areas to realize universal deposit and exchange, which has greatly supported the development of various undertakings in the base areas. In terms of taxation, in the past few months, tax authorities have been set up in central and southern Shandong, western Shandong, and Jiaodong, and in accordance with the instructions of the No. 1 unified tax rate, simplifying taxes, and reducing tax burdens, it is planned to levy two types of taxes on industry and commerce, namely, industrial and commercial business tax and income tax, and abolish all other taxes. In agriculture, agricultural taxes will be levied, one type of tax and one tax rate will be levied on the basis of mu, and other miscellaneous labor contributions will be abolished.

In agricultural production, it is necessary to ensure that grain output is not reduced or reduced in the year of severe drought. The first concrete measure is to continue to implement the policy of reducing rents and interest rates to lighten the peasants' burdens. The second is to vigorously promote the two-cropping method in one year. Practice has proved that Shandong is fully adapted to two-cropping farming in one year, and the practice of agricultural production in the autumn and summer of last year has proved that the implementation of the two-cropping farming method in one year is equivalent to doubling land output, increasing peasants' incomes, and improving peasants' livelihoods. If it weren't for the Japanese puppet army sweeping and looting grain and destroying production, Shandong might have solved the problem of famine that had plagued the province for many years. Therefore, after the autumn harvest, it is necessary to seize the opportunity of sowing summer grain, and all base areas must fully mobilize to expand the area of summer grain planting, and extensively plant corn, beans, sweet potatoes, and other high-yield and drought-tolerant crops in autumn grain, so as to thoroughly solve the problem of feeding the military and civilians in the base areas. Third, in the construction of water conservancy, Luxi, southwestern Lu, southeastern Lu, Qinghe, Jiaolai, and Jiaodong should seize the opportunity of winter leisure, adopt the method of providing relief through work, organize troops and civilian workers, carry out water conservancy construction on farmland, dredge rivers, build irrigation networks, expand the area of paddy fields, and increase grain output. In the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong, it is necessary to continue to dig water cellars on a large scale to store water and fight drought. Fourth, it is necessary to protect and develop large livestock, replace manpower with animal power, and improve labor efficiency. Fifth, to popularize new agricultural tools, the logistics command has built a machinery factory, developed a new type of iron plow, deeper than the traditional wooden plow, high efficiency, the next step to vigorously promote.

In terms of industrial production, emphasis should be placed on the production of coal mines, salt farms, small-scale copper, iron, silk, textile, and oil extraction, so as to meet the needs of the base areas as much as possible and not to increase the burden on the troops.

In view of the fact that Shandong education has a certain foundation, the next step is to focus on restoring the original primary and secondary schools. In the area of public health, it is necessary to formulate preferential policies to attract medical personnel from Jinan and Qingdao to set up hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in the base areas to solve the problem of the common people seeing a doctor. Culturally, in accordance with the principle of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contending at the news and propaganda forum put forward by No. 1, literary and art workers were encouraged to come to the base areas, with the magazines and popular daily newspapers founded by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles as the main positions, and the Luyi Shandong Branch and the Shiwen Art Troupe as the leaders, to establish various literary and artistic groups to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance.

In terms of transportation construction, in the past few months, the focus has been on restoring the original highways in central and southern Shandong, and repairing some damaged bridges. In the next step, it is necessary to build more solid pontoon bridges on the Shu and Yi rivers that are convenient for concealment to meet the operational needs of the troops.

This time, Li Yu learned the lesson of being criticized by Liu Yimin last time, and he really worked hard, each item has detailed data, which is listed and hierarchical, so that people must know their family background.

Guo Hongtao's report mainly focused on the building of party organizations at all levels, the number of newly established grassroots party organizations, and the number of party members.

Since Zhu Rui was also the political commissar of the Fourth Brigade, the secretary of the Luzhong District Party Committee, and the commander and political commissar of the New Fourth Brigade, Zhu Rui was busy with anti-sweeping operations during this period, and Li Zhuru, minister of the democracy movement, was mainly assisting him in the construction of the local armed forces. Therefore, when reporting on the work, Zhu Rui first reviewed his lack of specificity in the local armed work, and then began to report in detail.

According to Zhu Rui's report, since the beginning of this year, local armed forces in Shandong, including militia, have fought 1,250 battles against the Japanese puppet army, killing and wounding more than 9,200 Japanese puppet soldiers, traitors, spies, and puppet self-defense groups, sacrificing 1,425 people, and wounding 3,630 people. Up to now, the counties in the base areas have set up a three-pole armed force of county brigades, district squads, and militia units, and various types of guerrilla armed forces have also been established in enemy-occupied areas. At present, the total number of county brigades, district squads, and guerrillas in the province has exceeded 100,000, and the total number of militia has exceeded 300,000.

After Li Yu, Guo Hongtao and Zhu Rui reported, the meeting was discussed.

In the evening, Liu Yimin, secretary of the Shandong Bureau, commander of the Shandong Military Region, and head of the teaching and teaching division, delivered an important speech entitled "Striving to Realize Shandong's First Liberation."

Liu Yimin spoke very lightly and wittily, and as soon as he came up, he said: "When we first met Wang Dahu and them in Xinwei, we only had a total of more than a dozen Red Army soldiers, and everyone was fighting fiercely for days, and it is not too much to say that the remnants of the army were defeated. That's it, we still went to blow up the artillery positions of the Gui army and met the breakthrough of the Red 34th Division. At the time of the Battle of Xiaoshui, we were only the strength of a regiment, half of which had no guns, and just then, we eliminated the most elite division of the Hunan army, Zhang Liangji. Now, we have such a powerful instructor, and we also have a base to rely on, with the cooperation of local armed forces and militias, the little devils don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they dare to show off their might at our doorstep. Is it because my guts have become smaller, or has the guts of the little devils become bigger? What is particularly infuriating is that the little devil dared to set a trap on Longhai Road and use 100,000 people to ambush us. This little devil is really a master, and he doesn't ask the Eighth Route Army instructor how he made his fortune, he dares to sell articles in front of Confucius and play with an axe at the door of Lu Banye, it just makes people laugh off their big teeth"

The cadres attending the meeting burst into laughter.

Liu Yimin had the intention of creating an atmosphere full of confidence in victory, and then said: "Many comrades were not at the scene and may not know. At that time, there were little devils' planes in the sky, the 6th and 9th divisions of the Japanese army on the east side of the ground, the 114th Division of the Japanese army and other troops drawn from eastern Henan and southern Lunan on the west, and the guards division of the little devils on the south. I looked up my binoculars and looked, good fellow, yellow and mushy, like locusts. At that time, I thought, this little devil really fucking looks up to us, and even put on a posture to capture Shanghai, Nanjing, Taiyuan, and Wuhan Fortunately, I was in a hurry to come back to see the political commissar Luo, and I didn't care about entangled with them, otherwise, it would be an opportunity to fight a big battle. The elite 9th Division of the Japanese Army became the garrison of the eastern section of the Longhai Road, taking over the defensive task of the 114th Division. Tell me, little devil, what's the matter? We're just passing by, can we just borrow a way? I just have to calculate Lao Tzu. How's that, it's a loss, right? Beaten, right? Crying dad called mother, right? Long memory, right? ”

The cadres burst into laughter again.

Liu Yimin picked up the popular daily in front of him, shook it, and said, "Everyone has read today's popular daily, right?" Look, the headlines on the front page, the Japanese National Salvation Army and the Japanese Anti-War League in China were established in the Shandong base area. Yesterday, the Xinhua News Agency broadcast a press release to the world to report this important news. Guess what the attitude of Japan's Emperor Hirohito, Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe, Prince Kanin Miyakihito, Chief of General Staff, Shunroku Hata, and Commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Nishio Toshizo, will be when they hear this news? ”

Li Chang immediately stood up and shouted, "Report to the division commander, I know." Emperor Hirohito must have pointed at the nose of those ministers and scolded them, and he would also ask the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hold a press conference with various countries, saying that we were spreading rumors. ”

Liu Yimin's face was full of smiles, waved his hand, motioned for Li Chang to sit down, and said: "Li Chang is right, the little devil is that virtuous, good at conspiracy. It doesn't matter if you take advantage of it, lie and behave, and deny it in every possible way if you suffer a loss. Let's think about it, when the next big war comes, a Japanese National Salvation Army suddenly appears in our army, charging at the Japanese army with a bright bayonet, and stabbing the devil with a bayonet more ruthlessly than us, what a beautiful scene it is? ”

The cadres laughed, and applauded desperately after laughing.

When the applause stopped, Liu Yimin put on a posture that was not shocking and endless, and continued to report the news: "Comrades, guess who is the commander of this Japanese National Salvation Army? ”

This is a matter of secrecy, who would have guessed?

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Yimin smiled even more: "I told the comrades that it was Princess Hideko Jungong sent by the Japanese emperor to assassinate me, that is, Tang Xiu'er known to the comrades." ”

At this moment, the eyes of the cadres attending the meeting widened, and they looked at Liu Yimin incredulously, and after a long time, they burst into warm applause.

Liu Yimin said: "Emperor Hirohito is simply a scoundrel, and if he can't get it on the battlefield, he uses obscene assassination methods to deal with us, and even sends the princess of the imperial family to assassinate me." Okay, if you want to play Lao Tzu, I'll play with you a little bigger. Didn't Emperor Hirohito want Princess Junnomiya Hideko to assassinate me, I would let the princess fight back and become the commander of the Japanese National Salvation Army who was anti-war and anti-emperor. Let's see who is the best chess player, and I will tell the comrades that Tang Xiu'er has long been captured by us and is now locked up in Dadian. That is a genuine, fake Japanese royal princess, well-educated, not only high level of education, martial arts is also superb, fighting all over the East invincible, put in the world is also a master. That girl, with a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy in the sky. I know that many of you here are still single, and if anyone marries her, it will be a blessing for several lifetimes. If she can be persuaded to stand on the side of justice and become the commander of the Japanese National Salvation Army, it will be a great contribution to the war of resistance. How about it, comrades, there is no confidence in taking this hill"

To Liu Yimin's surprise, none of the cadres took the initiative to ask for help.

Liu Yimin's gaze swept towards the faces of the cadres one by one, and those who were swept quickly turned their faces away, not daring to look at the division commander.

Liu Yimin watched it in a circle, sighed, and said: "I agree that the cadres who teach the instructor are invincible heroes, and I didn't expect that heroes would become bears when they meet beautiful women." Can a little Tang Wan'er scare you like that? Zhou Yi, do you have confidence? ”

Zhou Yi, chief of staff of the First Brigade, is handsome and chic, and he is also well-known among the instructor cadres of the whole sect for both civil and military affairs, Liu Yimin feels that Zhou Yi and Tang Xiuer are really talented and beautiful, if there is no war, it is really a match made by heaven and earth.

Zhou Yi hurriedly stood up and reported loudly: "Report to the division commander, I already have a lover." I'm sorry, but I can't do this. ”

Liu Yimin looked at Zhou Yi suspiciously: "Do you have a lover?" Who is it? When did it happen? How did I not know? ”

Zhou Yi blushed: "The report to the division leader was introduced by Sister Tang, a teacher from Shandong University." ”

Liu Yimin became more and more puzzled: "Why didn't your eldest sister Tang tell me?" It's not like you're a kid who tricks me."

Zhou Yi is really playing tricks, he actually has no object, but Zhou Yi, like other cadres, will not marry a Japanese woman without a wife. This is the same reason as Luo Ronghuan said to Liu Yimin in Xi'an, "Ni Hua is beautiful, but you go to the Red First Army to ask and see if there is a Red Army soldier willing to marry her", but Liu Yimin is a traverser and is used to seeing the life of later generations, and there are not so many taboos in his thoughts.

Liu Yimin let go of Zhou Yi and stared at Hong Chaoyuan again.

Hong Chaoyuan is outstanding and is Liu Yimin's confidant. Unexpectedly, without waiting for Liu Yimin to speak, Hong Chaoyuan stood up and took the initiative to report: "I am going to get married in the near future, and when the time comes, I will invite the division commander, political commissar and comrades to eat candy." ”

Luo Ronghuan couldn't help it, stood up and said, "What the hell? When did you Hong Chaoyuan find a partner? Report to the Department of Political Affairs no? Has it been politically reviewed? How did I not know? ”

Hong Chaoyuan immediately said: "Report to the political commissar, I was going to report to the Political Department, but Director Cai has been in Jilubian and Luxi, and I have been busy fighting and have not had time to report." After the meeting was adjourned, I immediately went to Director Cai to report and ask the Political Department for approval. ”

Hu Laohu stood up: "Report to the political commissar, I testify that Commander Hong does have a partner, and I have had a drink with him once." ”

Hong Chaoyuan immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, we have all drank." ”

Luo Ronghuan smiled and said: "Drink you big-headed ghost, one has been in the Suzhou-Anhui region for a long time, and the other is in Lunan, can you drink together?" Ghosts don't believe in it."

Hu Laohu and Hong Chaoyuan didn't know what to mutter, but they all sat down anyway.

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to name him again, Cai Zhong couldn't sit still, and opened his mouth to say: "Lei Ming, aren't you pestering your sister-in-law all day long to find you a partner?" Tang Xiuer is so good, what are you hesitating about? Let me tell you, your sister-in-law is doing work for Tang Xiuer every day, and I won't be able to see you when I come back. I'll tell you, after the meeting is over, you will go to your sister-in-law and ask her to introduce you. It's up to you later. ”

Thunder is the style, and everyone in the whole sect knows that it is other good things to change, and whoever robs him is in a hurry. Cai Zhong is at this point, Lei Ming stood up, and opened his mouth to say: "Report to Director Cai, Ren Ying's sister-in-law has found it for me, and I have seen each other twice." ”

Cai Zhong didn't believe it either, and his eyes glanced at Lei Ming's face.

Lei Ming swore and said: "Really, if I lie to you, Lei will write the word backwards"

Liu Yimin didn't know that he didn't tighten the connection for Tang Xiuer at the meeting, forcing many tutors to end their bachelor careers and achieve many happy families. There's no way, if you lie in front of the division commander and political commissar, you have to think about the lie, don't you? Otherwise, it is a deception of the organization and the deception of the leader, which is very serious in nature. That's an afterword.

Liu Yimin is not a play, this is a meeting, not a blind date meeting in the 21st century, and it is important to get down to business. There is no way, these comrades-in-arms don't give face, and they drop the chain at a critical time, so they can only put it down first.

Liu Yimin motioned for Lei Ming to sit down and said, "It's all a bunch of guys with silver-like pewter guns, and one Tang Xiu'er can scare you, the famous brigade commanders and chiefs of staff, like a plague god, and they are useless." Okay, whoever has an idea, you can talk to Director Cai, Lin Yueqin, and Ren Ying after the meeting. They will definitely give you a chance. ”

The cadres laughed again.

When the laughter stopped, Liu Yimin began his formal speech: "This morning, Comrade Li Yu reported on the achievements and direction of the government's work, Comrade Hong Tao reported on organizational building, and Comrade Zhu Rui reported on local armed building. It was very inspiring to listen to.

The cadres spread out their notebooks and began to take notes carefully.

Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the mountain people wish you all New Year's greetings, I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, get promoted and make a fortune to find a lover, good things come again and again to ask for subscriptions, ask for tickets, thank you
