Li Hongzao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was immediately taken to the nearest Third Division Headquarters after being put down outside the city by the hanging basket, and after learning of Li Hongzao's intention, Hu Guangting sent a telegram to ask Yao Fan.

"Report, Hu Guangting, the commander of the Third Division, called, and Li Hongzao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came out of the forbidden city to ask for peace talks."

Yao Fan sighed: "Inform Hu Guangting, don't wait any longer, attack immediately, big and small the other party's illusions, don't shell, and minimize the damage to the building." ”

Hu Guangting didn't expect to receive a call back so soon, and he smiled at the message: "The chairman said, attack!" Do not use artillery, immediately notify the troops in front to blast the city gate! All commandos get ready! ”

With a loud bang that shook the sky, the gray sand rolled, the north gate of the forbidden city was blasted, and the soldiers who served as commandos swarmed in, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Li Hongzao, who was detained at the foot of Jingshan, was taken aback, and asked the People's Liberation Army around him in a panic: "The hour has not yet arrived, why do you wait for nothing to believe!" ”

The soldier ignored the first-class officer in front of him, and just looked enviously at the comrades who were constantly rushing into the city gate in the distance......

On the evening of June 13, Hu Guangting finally called to inform the base camp that the Forbidden City had been completely occupied.

A week later, Yao Fan led the headquarters of the First Army and the General Staff to Beijing.

Yao Fan's arrival was top secret, and in order to prevent someone from secretly plotting the assassination, Yao Fan quietly entered Beijing at dawn with the base camp.

According to Yao Fan's request, Zhongnanhai has been cleaned up and used as the office of the central government and the residence of high-level leaders.

Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, Yao Fan immediately convened a meeting after arriving in Beijing.

Yao Fan said at the meeting: "North China has a large population, and we must do our best to carry out land reform work in the rural areas, provide soldiers and salaries for this stage of army expansion, and strive to expand the army to 20 group armies and 300,000 people within two months." ”

Li Hainiu nodded and said: "To complete such a large-scale expansion and training in two months, we are sure from the point of view of the training sites and garrison conditions; the Fengtai Battalion in Beijing and the Tianjin Station, as well as the barracks stationed in the Green Battalion in various places, can all be stationed for training, and all units must strictly abide by the recruit training regulations designated by the chairman, conduct strict training, standardize internal affairs, study hard, and improve their standards. ”

Li Jun said: "At present, the land reform is going very smoothly, and Beijing's Inner Treasury, Imperial Palace, Manchu Prince's Mansion and Eight Banners Mansions have been confiscated, and in addition to countless treasures and antiques, a total of more than 30 million taels of silver and nearly 1 million taels of gold have been sold. At present, a regiment needs more than 15,000 taels of silver per month, and our army uniformly distributes food subsidies to all troops according to one tael per person, regardless of officers and men, so that the monthly salary of a group army plus various expenses is as high as more than 51,000 taels. The expansion of the army into 20 group armies means that the monthly cash expenditure of the combat troops alone is as high as 1 million taels, or 13 million taels a year! ”

Li Hainiu said: "In the past, we had about 50 million taels of landlords' stolen money in the land reform in various places, that is to say, the silver reserves of our army are enough for the expenditure of 20 group armies for six years. ”

Li Jundao: "It is impossible for all this money to be used for military spending, but also to establish political power, run schools, run hospitals, train cadres, and build factories, so I think that the land reform in the entire North China region cannot be delayed, and I estimate that after the land reform in North China is completed, it should be possible to raise at least 50 million taels of silver." ”

Liu Jinbao said: "At present, the city of Beijing is under military management, but it is still very stable, and the land reform has provided us with a large amount of grain reserves, and there is absolutely no problem with winter grain in the Beijing and Tianjin areas." At present, there are more than 10,000 prisoners of the Eight Banners in the capital, and there are many princes and nobles among them, and these people, according to the chairman's instructions, are given half a catty of coarse grain every day and are assigned to labor camps to participate in road repair work. ”

Yao Fan said solemnly: "Now we only hold Zhili and Shandong in our hands, and looking at China, this is just a big palm." Therefore, in the preparatory work for the founding of the People's Republic of China, we should not be in a hurry, we should take our time, we should carefully select qualified cadres, build a new platform, and we should not learn from Li Zicheng, and when we entered Beijing, we thought that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and finally ended up in the situation of a lost dog.

We, the Chinese Communists, will not build the country unless we completely liberate the whole of China!

In addition to the Shandong People's Revolutionary Commune, we should also set up the Hebei People's Revolutionary Commune, the Beijing People's Revolutionary Commune, and the Tianjin People's Revolutionary Commune.

Local governments at all levels must establish the idea that the focus of rural work at the present stage is to fight drought and provide disaster relief, and we must organize and mobilize all the masses to carry out drought-fighting and water conservancy construction. Of course, the central government will also reduce or even cancel 15 percent of the public grain payable in those areas where the drought is severe.

In the past, the reason why the Manchu government starved to death in disaster years was because even if the imperial court exempted the disaster areas from money and grain, the landlords would never let go of the rent of a grain of rice, and the corrupt officials would never stop collecting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Communes at all levels are absolutely not allowed to levy any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and all funds are dependent on public grain.

At present, the supply and marketing cooperatives at the grassroots level are developing rapidly and constantly being established, and this momentum is very good; the domestic sales of commodities reported by He Wannian are soaring every day, and China's rural areas have a large population, and the poor hired peasants and rich peasants who have divided their land and floating wealth now have a certain amount of primary consumption capacity. I looked at the sales report and found that they were mainly spending money on buying fabric, which shows that our textile industry has a lot to offer.

The customs in North China are now in our hands, and most of the grassroots personnel are retained, and the high-level personnel are gradually cleaned up and settled after the autumn. Although the customs are still following the low tariffs set by the Manchu government, because the sales of our own goods, especially cloth, have soared, and the current import value has been greatly reduced, and foreign merchants now mainly ship overseas goods to the south for sale. And the customs in the south are not in our hands at present, and there is no command of the Qing government, this part of the silver will definitely be greedy for a large amount of ink, and the taxes in various places will be completely intercepted by the localities, and the governors of the southern region will definitely pull up their own arms and bargain with us with the intention of separating one side.

Therefore, at present, we must carry out drought control with one hand and armed struggle with the other, and the task is very arduous. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, agreeing with Yao Fan's opinion.

Yao Fan arranged the work and said: "Next, the work in the Beijing area will enter the second stage, for the enlightened gentry, as long as he does not disturb the words, we will not touch him." As for the old bureaucrats, unless they are well-known corrupt officials, they will not touch him. However, no Beijing official whose nationality is outside the liberated areas is allowed to return to his hometown, and anyone who escapes will be shot at home.

Li Hongzhang sent someone to send me a letter of construction, hoping that I would immediately organize a government according to his construction, he recommended many officials, and even built a government framework, our framework we will not use, but we can publicize that our government structure is based on his construction, and face is always given to others.

As for these officials recommended by him, I don't think they are inappropriate, they have a bit of a taste of unloading and killing donkeys, but they must be screened before they are used, and those with bad reputations must not be used. As for how to use it, there is also a particular one. In short, the military system must not allow them to enter, and I think the civil affairs aspect is very suitable, but we cannot let these people hold the main position, but can only serve as a deputy position, and let them assist us in our work. These people must be supervised well, and those who talk nonsense and engage in petty actions must be immediately dismissed from their posts.

At present, Beijing and Tianjin, and even the entire liberated areas, are still suitable for military management, and government management is carried out under military control, so that we have the right to take away life and death, and we can immediately use forceful means to deal with problems quickly, and pull in a group, fight a group, and kill a group, and there is no problem that cannot be solved.

At present, we must do our best to establish a public security system in major cities, and this work still has to be completed by the army, and the foreigners in the Shanghai Concession have only 15 people in the patrol room, and they can suppress the entire concession, and our public security system can also do it, and the scale of Beijing City is so small that it is enough to use a public security contingent of 100 people to set up police stations in various urban areas. The police will issue bicycles to facilitate patrols, and for the time being, they will be issued with guns, and when the country is stable, they will not need to carry guns with them.

At present, the work of the communications and intelligence system is very heavy; our secret service network must be vigorously established; we must closely monitor foreigners in China; for foreign businessmen, any visas must be specially granted, and no foreigners are allowed to wander freely in the Chinese mainland; especially the Japanese; according to the information we have, the Japanese War Department is currently surveying and mapping the whole of China, and its heart can be criticized; after these people are caught, they must be strictly interrogated, and the General Staff Headquarters will decide whether to carry out secret executions or public trials.

At present, the diplomatic work can be handed over to Li Hongzhang, and with our support, I believe that Lao Li will not lose to the diplomats of any country. ”

The meeting started from morning to afternoon, and Yao Fan and his subordinates discussed with dry mouths, trying to arrange all aspects in place.

After the afternoon meeting, Yao Fan just wanted to take a break, when he received a report from Liu Jinbao, who had been appointed director of the Beijing Military Management Commission, and the British minister to China, Wittoma, asked to see him.

Yao Fan said categorically: "What is he looking for me for?" Tell him to talk to Li Hongzhang. ”

Liu Jinbao said: "Wei Tuoma stays in Prince Xian's mansion where the Military Management Commission is located and refuses to leave, he must find you for a face-to-face interview, and he also threatens that if you don't see him, you will have to bear the consequences." ”

Yao Fan thought for a while and said: "The foreigner who was killed by the troops before was British, Wei Tuoma came to find the field, and Li Hongzhang, the old fox, is still shrinking in Tianjin, probably waiting for me to ask him to come to Beijing to settle affairs." ”

Liu Jinbao said: "Probably to make us lose money and come to extort money." ”

Yao Fan smiled: "You are mentally prepared, I think you guessed right, you are here to extort money, in 1861, the British were attacked in Japan, and Japan was forced to compensate 10,000 pounds for each dead and wounded." ”

Liu Jinbao quickly calculated, frowned, and said: "If we killed and injured more than 30 foreigners, wouldn't Weituma have to claim more than 300,000 pounds?" That's more than a million taels of silver! Is a foreigner's life so valuable? ”

Yao Fan said: "It's worth a fart, if you die in Britain, it's too much to lose two or three hundred pounds, besides, how old are the British in China's civil war?" Why interfere? At present, Yi Xin is hiding in the British embassy and refuses to come out, and the officials who went with Yi Xin and the Minister of the Interior, who is in charge of appropriation, now confess in the Ministry of Intelligence, saying that Yi Xin has brought 500,000 taels of silver and ten carts of antiques and utensils, just to beg the British to come out. Wittoma wants to interfere in China's internal affairs, but there is no door. ”

Liu Jinbao said: "Then I'll send someone to drive him back to the embassy area, and don't let him come out to make trouble again." ”

Yao Fan smiled: "No, I'll go and meet him, and give him a clear message, so that he won't have to calculate all day long." In addition, you can help me make an appointment with the German Minister Barand, since I have arrived in Beijing, I must give an explanation to the Germans. ”
