Chapter 63 Southeast Hubei

After the flood period has passed safely. The Xinmin Science Award was awarded to the Institute of Agriculture and the Institute of Forestry, and Zhang Chun personally presented awards to Yu Yanshi and Kuang Bingyan.

The labor shortage in Wuhan has brought some businessmen who have left to return, but this time and again, many merchants have little property left. They either work with old friends who haven't left, or rent government market stalls, or better yet, rent mall fronts. For small businessmen, Hubei's tax rate is still cost-effective.

The success of the Han River in Hubei Province also brought Zhang Chun a huge reputation. In the reports of the outside world, Zhang Chun slowly changed from one-sided slander to mixed reputation. Most of the people who supported Zhang Chun were students, which caused young students from all over the country to flock to Hubei. In September, even Wuhan University, Chung Hua University and the newly formed University of Geosciences were full of students. Because the teaching building of the University of Geosciences has not yet been repaired, classes can only be held in tents set up in the open air.

In order to meet the shortage of basic education teachers in the province, preparations for the establishment of a higher normal university have begun next to Zhonghua University.

At the same time, the reorganization of the First and Second Armies was basically completed, and the recruitment of new recruits began, with the intention of filling the two armies to full strength. In addition to the two field armies, the rocket regiment was upgraded to a rocket division, and the road and bridge regiment was formally formed, which is a paramilitary mechanized logistics support unit, and each army is ready to be equipped with one regiment. These two branches of the military have very high requirements for the education level of soldiers.

Hubei's military expansion has suddenly made the surrounding atmosphere tense.

Zhang Chun is not the only one who has expanded the army.

If you say that you have been fighting with Zhang Chun for so many years, you can still survive. Sun Chuanfang was the first. suffered a lot of losses and was deceived, and Sun Chuanfang also went to the road of elite soldiers.

If the two armies are too close together, even if it is avoided. Friction always happens. Moreover, mutual reconnaissance is a normal task of the troops.

A seemingly short firefight gave Gu Ming and Mao Shishan a warning.

The reconnaissance platoon of the 1st Division, 1st Regiment and 2nd Company fell into the trap that the enemy had already set, but fortunately the leader of the platoon was a veteran and reacted in time, but was only slightly wounded and killed two enemy soldiers. The reconnaissance platoon counterattacked and killed more than a dozen people, with only two more minor wounds on their own. But it's all veterans. Half of the other party escaped. The retreat is very methodical, not a swarm, but a well-founded retreat.

At this time, Sun Chuanfang was already the military superintendent of Fujian. It's just that because of the huge local forces in Fujian, although Sun Chuanfang sent personnel to Fujian, he stayed in Hubei and did not move.

The exchange of fire made both sides very vigilant.

Sun Chuanfang actually crossed the river from Jiujiang to Fujian overnight. Two divisions and one mixed brigade with tens of thousands of people, looking neatly groomed. It is no longer the Beiyang Army that was scattered at the touch of a button in the past.

Accompanied Sun Chuanfang. There was also a large number of gentry classes.

Zhou Yinren, on behalf of Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, went to Wuhan to find Gu Ming and said that he would hand over southeastern Hubei to the Hubei Autonomous Government on the condition that a peace treaty be signed.

When Mao Shishan reported to Zhang Chun, Zhang Chun smiled: "This Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu know that I have a place, and they won't leave it alone, this is to buy time for them." But Sun Chuanfang is really strong, can he listen to Wu Peifu? Let them go.

With the sudden increase in territory, Zhang Chun suggested that the CCP should send personnel. to make up for the lack of cadres.

However, at this time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and most of the CCP members were in the Nationalist Government. That's why I can come to Hubei. Not much.

Li Hanjun, Liu Renjing, Deng Zhongxia and Luo Zhanglong went to Hubei. Li Hanjun and Liu Renjing, because they were from Hubei, and Deng Zhongxia and Luo Zhanglong, who were frustrated because of the Jinghan Railway workers' movement, came with the mentality of wanting to compete with Zhang Chun's theory. Deng Zhongxia once wrote an article refuting Chen Qingtong's argument that the success of the Chinese revolution was not in the working class, but in a much larger and wider range of peasants.

It's just that people in Hubei generally refute, but pay more attention to trying. Even Li Dazhao and Chen Qingtong are the same. Chen Qingtong, the propaganda minister, actually took people to the countryside of Guangdong and Guangxi.

can't argue, these hot-blooded young people want to come to Hubei to have a look. It just so happened that Hubei sent a telegram to the dignitaries, and Deng Zhongxia and Luo Zhanglong came.

Luo Zhanglong replaced Lin Yunan to Daye and served as the secretary of the county party committee, and the county magistrate was a student named Qin Jianyi, who studied industry, and was the same age as Luo Zhanglong.

Originally, Hubei did not have a full-time county party secretary, and Daye was the first, because Qin Jianyi was a very good constructive talent, but he was really poor in government affairs, Lin Yunan thought that Qin Jianyi just lacked experience in government affairs, and Luo Zhanglong just took him for a while. At the same time, Daye is also the place with the most workers, and Luo Zhanglong's internship in Daye is also good for him.

Lin Yunan also has some prestige in Huanggang and even southeast Hubei Province, so it is not so easy to set up the Huanggang Prefecture in Qichun, after all, it is not so easy to eat southeast Hubei for a while.

Liu Renjing, Li Hanjun, and Deng Zhongxia all assisted Lin Yunan in the Huanggang Prefecture, but of course the actual work in the counties and townships were all cadres drawn from Wuhan and central Hubei. The military headquarters of the First Army was also transferred to Qichun, and the First Division was also transferred there, with Zhou Rong in charge, even if something happened in southeastern Hubei, the problem would not be serious.

Cai Hesen's land reform and construction are progressing at a very steady pace, not only because of the improvised roads that were built during the assault on Wuhan. In addition, because there are a large number of wealthy households in southeastern Hubei Province, the actual public sentiment is very different from that in other places, these people only have little money and land, there are many yeoman farmers, and at the same time the practice of doing business is very prosperous. When Cai Hesen was governing Wuhan, he knew that this kind of thing was urgent, and that there needed to be a gradual evolution and gradual process. It is obviously inappropriate to attack the landlords on a large scale, as in the period of adventurous progress. Because the landlords' armed forces in southeastern Hubei were all taken away by Sun Chuanfang. The bandits also automatically died down, and if they have a good life, who wants to be a bandit?

After a year, Lin Yunan has understood that practical work is different from shouting slogans, and it is important to work hard, so he takes the officials of the special area to follow the working group everywhere every day. Except for a few clerks in the prefectural government, they are basically all below.

Of course, the most important thing is that the students of Xinmin University have risen very quickly, and now almost all the cadres and staff at and below the county level are these people, and there is a steady stream of students, and people from non-Xinmin student factions have a very strong sense of crisis.

Fairy, Zhang Chun met Lin Yurong, a young man with a letter of introduction from Lin Yunan. This seventeen-year-old boy was very shy and a little thin, he was a member of the Communist Youth League, he had just graduated from middle school, he wanted to study military affairs at the Xinmin Military Academy, but because of physical reasons, he did not meet the standard, and asked his former teacher cousin Lin Yunan. Lin Yunan wrote an introductory letter to Zhang Chun, saying that although this cousin does not speak much, he has a calm personality, is good at using his brains, and considers things more comprehensively. If you are interested in military affairs, although you can't be a good soldier, you can still be a staff officer and exercise.

In fact, Lin Yunan introduced another person, that is, Yun Daiying, he graduated from the Department of Literature of Chung Hua University, and was a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Youth League. However, Chung Hua University has been transformed into a finance and economics school. Yun Daiying was admitted to the Military and Political Academy by himself. The requirements there compare the first point. Lin Yurong can take the test, but he wants to study at the Conducting Academy, and the requirements of the Conducting Academy are high.

Zhang Chun and Lizhi looked at this seventeen-year-old child, shy and shy about going through the back door, but with an extremely resolute attitude, because this was the first person who dared to intercede to Zhang Chun. Although Yun Daiying took the letter of introduction, she still chose to take the exam by herself. Daring to ask for help is also a kind of courage.

"Do you know what will happen if I promise you?" Zhang Chun said with a smile.

Lin Yurong lowered his head with a flushed face, and rubbed his toes on the ground.

"In the future, there will be many people who will intercede, not only to me, but also to others. As soon as this opening is opened, the rules will not be rules. ”

Seeing that Lin Yurong was so ashamed that she was about to run away, Li's heart softened: "This kid is still good." ”

Zhang Chun smiled and joked, this is the first marshal of the founding of the country who later became famous, not only good.

"Yes, yes, yes, but you can't open the opening. But I have another way, would you like to? ”

Lin Yurong raised his head, with surprise in his eyes.

"Don't be happy, it's a very hard road. I saw your test results, but your physical fitness was not up to standard, and everything else was very good. Being a commander, especially the commander of my troops, is definitely not going to be able to run. The training at the Command Academy is so hard that you can't sustain it at all. But you can be a recruit, you're still young, and for a seventeen-year-old, you can still meet the recruit standard. If you can meet the standards of the Conducting Academy before the age of nineteen, you can still take the exam. You also know what you're working towards, and I think you'll be able to do well. ”

Lin Yurong smiled, revealing his white teeth, he nodded, and the determined expression in his eyes did not change.

"However, the training of recruits is also very hard, and it is likely that they can only help veterans carry bullets and shells when they go to the battlefield. Follow the veteran's ass and eat ashes, you don't want to. ”

"Can you train your body well?" Lin Yurong smiled happily.

"Yes, you can kill a cow. You have all the training that a soldier should have. ”

"Then I'll practice well."

Zhang Chun smiled, the biggest advantage of this child is the tenacity in his character, he knows what his goal is, and he can try his best to complete it. His biggest weakness is that he is a little detached from the common people, too focused on the military, and it is not easy to control himself. Two years of life as a recruit may allow him to overcome these shortcomings. This seedling has just sprouted and has time to be corrected. (To be continued......)
