Next, Yao Fan and Li Hongzhang talked to each other in the middle of the night, and the two sides agreed that Li Hongzhang would come forward to restrain the army and government in Tianjin, surrender and hand over to the People's Liberation Army under the condition of ensuring social order, and peacefully liberate Tianjin.

All the newly recruited Xiangyong New Army in Tianjin were handed over to the People's Liberation Army for political examination, and all the battalion officers from landlord origin in the old Huai Army were dismissed and reorganized by the PLA units stationed in Tianjin. Those who did not wish to join the army were immediately disbanded, paid in arrears, and returned to their places of origin.

On 11 June, just after dawn, on the official road from south to north, the infantry column was marching towards Tianjin, and the political commissar of the 1st Division, Shuai Dabiao, rode on horseback and said to the guards around him: "Tell the soldiers, after entering the city, they will start singing to set up the atmosphere." ”

"Commissar, where to sing?"

"Anything goes, sing the sky of the liberated areas first."

"Yes."

Xiao Chukai, the commander of the first division, was still expressionless, and his straight body rose and fell with the horse's back, revealing strong strength.

"Lao Xiao, our first division is going to be big this time, the chairman said in the telegram that after the first division enters the city, it will quickly reorganize the Qing army and expand it into a group army." Deputy division commander Huang Huisheng said with satisfaction.

Xiao Chukai said lightly: "The chairman also said, be careful of the class enemy's conspiracy to restore, those soldiers of the Huai Army are not easy to eat, Lao Huang, you tell the person in charge of each recruit company, and the political examination of enlistment must be strict." ”

Huang Huisheng nodded: "Well, according to the regulations, immediately carry out grievance complaints and three checks education, according to past experience, it only takes a week for the captives to complete the change of mind, and those recruits will be faster." ”

Xiao Chu said: "The second and third divisions will also expand the army this time, and we will be responsible for providing the soldiers, you are responsible for paying attention to the new recruits' training, and pick the good seedlings first. ”

"Okay."

When the first division drove into the outside of Tianjin, I saw that the roadside was full of gentry and students organized by Li Hongzhang, who had returned to Tianjin in advance, bowing and welcoming them.

Political commissar Shuai Dabiao said to Xiao Chu vigilantly: "It seems that this is to pour ** soup into us." Lao Xiao, in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, we must refuse a banquet in the near future, vigorously publicize our army's policies, and at the same time find out the inside situation of Tianjin, and take away the power of Tianjin! ”

Xiao Chu smiled and said to Shuai Dabiao: "Dabiao, you are the political commissar, and the political consciousness is the highest, and the matter of dealing with these local tyrants will be handed over to you, and I will only take care of the reorganization of the troops." ”

"That's not possible, but the chairman has explained, the army must vigorously develop grassroots party organizations and progressive students in the local area, how can I be busy alone."

"You just pick people, and the cadres of the whole army can choose as you choose."

"I think a few comrades from the Zaofan Youth Cadre Training Class are good, and they can try this part of student work."

"Okay, but watch their thoughts."

Seeing that there were more and more crowds on the side of the road, the soldiers of the First Division began to sing loudly and sang all the way to Tianjin.

Along the way, the gentry who welcomed the gentry placed the wine and refreshments on the side of the road, but no one touched it, and the local scholars in Tianjin were shocked when they saw this scene.

"I can't imagine that these thieves are so disciplined."

"Want to die? Be quiet! This is called the People's Liberation Army! Now that Master Li has surrendered, it can be seen that this army is extremely brave. ”

"I heard that these eight mounds are like murder, and it has only been a few days since they entered Cangzhou, and they have killed the squires and landlords of more than a dozen surrounding villages."

"There is a way to be a soldier, and Lord Li's act of surrender is also sympathetic to our people in Tianjin, otherwise it may not be said that Tianjin will be washed into a situation like Cangzhou."

"Alas, the Great Qing Kingdom is over, these soldiers don't even have braids one by one, it's really Sven sweeping the floor, the body skin, the parents who receive it, how can they be shaved as fine as a monk."

"Aren't we in the Qing Kingdom also shaving our heads?"

"That's different, we haven't shaved it."

"You say these glue thieves...... The People's Liberation Army won't push a head-shaving order, right? As if the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was ...... to leave your head or not."

"Since ancient times, the dynasty has changed the belt, the clothes and makeup have naturally changed, it is not unusual for me to see the shaved head, when the time comes, everyone just be obedient, cut the braids and put them in the box to save them, if there is a change in the future, it is nothing more than to find a hat to sew the braids on."

"Mengfu, you are a heart-wrenching word! Although Master Li surrendered, he hadn't cut his braids yet! ”

"The Qing Kingdom is almost gone, the adults in the middle hall have descended, the People's Liberation Army doesn't care about cutting off one more head, Brother Fang must not make mistakes, the one who must know the times is Junjie."

"Alas, what Mengfu said is that if today, I'm afraid that there will be a crowd of heroes, and I don't know if the thigh that Master Li is holding is thick enough."

"Look at the strong army in front of you, the military uniform is clear and unified, you can know that you are rich, the people are strong and the horses are fat, you can know that you are well-trained, you can also know if you think about it, I am afraid that the true dragon son in the future must be that Yao Fan."

“…… Justified ......"

"Well, that's right."

At this time, Yao Fan's base camp remained in Cangzhou, and he kept directing the movement of troops in front of him through guò's daily telegrams.

After Li Hongzhang left, Yao Fan sent an urgent report, informing the Shandong base area to immediately organize the transfer of all cadres and young students to Cangzhou to make preparations before entering Beijing, and the families of the cadres should also make preparations for the transfer.

After sending Li Hongzhang away, a meeting was held in Cangzhou City, and the General Staff convened all the members of the revolutionary committee and the party committee who accompanied him.

"We will soon overthrow the Manchu government, which is good news, but we must not get carried away.

At present, the scale of our party organization is not large, there are only more than 2,000 party members, and there are only more than 3,000 probationary party members, and many new party members are not highly educated, and they are all activists who emerged from the rural land reform in the previous stage, and they have revolutionary enthusiasm, but they lack the means of struggle and administrative experience.

But we should not be presumptuous, what the new Chinese government needs most is not those feudal bureaucrats, what we need is a large number of grassroots cadres, grassroots work is the core of our party's work, grassroots work is mainly around the implementation of the decisions and policies of the central authorities, and they do not need to formulate policies, so they do not need too high a culture, what we want is to obey orders and listen to commands, and what we want is the idea of serving the people!

At present, the cadres of the peasant associations are all elected by the peasants in the rural areas after the land reform, and they are very familiar with the rural situation, and we must make good use of them to contribute to the comprehensive land reform in North China. There are 40,000 peasants in China, among whom there are countless capable people, we must not worry about no one available, as long as it is a sincere supporter, a revolutionary, and a prominent activist in the land reform, we must use it boldly! Don't be afraid of them making mistakes!

Even if the landlord class is allowed to be an official, it will make the same mistakes, but the nature of such mistakes is different, it is class oppression and a crime against the people! Therefore, we would rather let the backbone of the peasants make mistakes and thus gain experience in work and struggle, rather than ignore the class struggle and put the landlords into the ranks of our grassroots cadres.

At present, Li Hongzhang is willing to join our coalition government, which is extremely beneficial to us, Li Hongzhang has a large group of people around him, these people are very familiar with the operation of the Qing government, for these people, we must stabilize them! Supervise them! Make good use of them! This is important for a smooth transition of power.

Will these people sincerely understand and support us in their work? I think there will be, and as time goes on, there will be quite a few of them, and I guess half of them will want to cling to us, and if we do a good job of publicity, the proportion will even increase to seventy or eighty. Some of these people are sincere in their conversion and support us, some of them follow the crowd, some of them are fake, they are speculators, I think the proportion in the middle will be larger, and in the first and third cases they are in the minority, and we must pay attention to observation and beware of these people engaging in conspiracy and restoration.

The establishment of the new regime is thorough and brand-new, and we will not go to Beijing to take over the old regime of the Manchu government, but to establish a new regime belonging to the people, and after taking Beijing, we must stabilize the people of the old regime on the one hand, and make every effort to build the new regime on the other hand. The latter is the most important, and for the sake of the finishers, we have to absorb some of the people of the old regime, but we have to supervise them well, and we have to use carrots and sticks to use both soft and them.

To stabilize the gang of the old regime, we need to rely on two things, one is the barrel of a gun and the other is the barrel of a pen. Power comes out of the barrel of the gun, our gun is very hard, we must hold it firmly and not let go, and whoever dares to talk nonsense must be suppressed immediately. We are short of talented people in this regard, so we must strictly control the propaganda mouth, intensify the propaganda efforts, and the newspapers must control the propaganda in our hands, and we must vigorously investigate and resolutely suppress the reactionary pamphlets and hand-copied texts that may appear to encourage restoration.

We must resolutely confiscate the assets of the Manchu government, confiscate the property of the Manchu royal family and ministers, give their servants a part of their property, and then dismiss them. For the time being, the ordinary flag man did not move, and only ordered the surrender of the hidden swords, guns and weapons. Treated as a general citizen.

For the remaining princes and ministers and the emperor's family, they and all their families should be moved out of the prince's residence and the Forbidden City, and they should be reformed through labor and ideological education, and no one should be allowed to visit them without the approval of the central government. The eunuchs and palace maids will all be dismissed with severance pay, and the Forbidden City will be transformed into a museum in the future, and we must protect the cultural relics.

In short, all work must be analyzed and solved in a concrete way by seeking truth from facts, and each working group must be set up immediately, and problems should be studied and solved one by one, and we should not be afraid of making mistakes, and we should actively ask for instructions and report.

……………………”

The work of establishing a new regime was complicated, Yao Fan arranged them one by one, one meeting was held for a whole day, and then every day was a series of small meetings, even so, Yao Fan was not sure that he could do everything, and could only hope that it would be solved one by one in the future.

But Yao Fan attached the most importance to the military, and he understood that only a strong military could ensure the survival of the new regime. rg
