【218】Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains open a new face (22)

In order to avoid confusion in place names, Yao Fan had previously promulgated a new method of naming national place names and administrative regions, no longer using the old names of the Qing Dynasty, and also using new place names on the map of the whole army.

In the Wucheng Hall of Zhongnanhai, all the members of the Central People's Revolutionary Military Commission have gathered, and they have now been divided by Yao Fan into the General Staff Headquarters, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, and the commanders of various group armies directly under the Central Military Commission.

The weather was hot and sultry, the windows on all sides of the Wucheng Hall were wide open, and a gust of wind with water vapor blew from time to time on the South China Sea.

Everyone in the Wucheng Hall was sitting precariously, and on the long conference table, there were stacks of battle plans.

Yao Fan announced:

"The First Army was stationed in Beijing and Baoding;

The Second Army was stationed in Tianjin and Cangzhou;

The Third Army went north to Qinhuangdao and Dalian to garrison, that is, the Shanhaiguan area and Lushun;

The Fourth Army attacked Shenyang, that is, the Mukden area, and then controlled and garrisoned Shenyang, Dandong, Tonghua, and Baishan;

The Fifth Army attacked Changchun, Jilin, Hunchun, Harbin, Qiqihar, and Suihua, Qiqihar was the Ningguta area, and Suihua and Qiqihar had Ningguta General Ecuo and Heilongjiang General Fengshen resisting stubbornly, and they must be defeated, and quickly take over the entire northeast region, and control the border stations under the jurisdiction of the two generals. The ethnic environment in this region is complex, and there are many Mongolians and Manchus, so the Fifth Army should attach importance to ethnic issues and strengthen ethnic unity in the course of land reform.

The Sixth Army was stationed in Zhangjiakou, Datong, Taiyuan, and Shijiazhuang, based in Shanxi, and at the same time expanded northward to exert pressure on the princes of the Mongolian steppe;

The Seventh Army attacked Zhengzhou, Luoyang, and Kaifeng, and took Henan;

The Eighth Army attacked Xuzhou and Hefei and took Anhui;

The Ninth Army attacked Yangzhou and Nanjing, and stationed in Jiangsu;

The Tenth Army attacked Changzhou, Wuxi, and Suzhou, and was ready to attack Shanghai at any time.

The 11th Army attacked Wuhan and took Hubei

The 13th Group Army was stationed in the vicinity of Jinan;

The 14th Group Army was stationed in Yantai, Penglai, and Weihai;

The 15th Group Army was stationed in Qingdao and Rizhao areas;

The 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Group Armies, as general reserves, were mobilized by the General Staff Headquarters to support the participating units in carrying out land reform, and were ready to reinforce operations at any time in preparation for crossing the Yangtze River to liberate the whole country in the future. ”

After reading the basic deployment in his hand, Yao Fan sat at the end of the long table and looked at a room of "national defense green" and asked, "If you have any questions, you can raise them now." ”

There was silence in the conference room.

Yao Fan nodded slightly and continued: "The battle plans of each group army have been issued, everyone must study them immediately, and they will be officially implemented in three days.

In this operation, the mobilization of troops is unprecedented since the founding of our army, and it is a great challenge in terms of road marching, logistical support, ideological and political support, occupation and reception, and propaganda activities. Therefore, the Central Military Commission has delegated authority to all units as much as possible, allowing them to exercise the greatest authority within their capabilities, but all armies must report on every action, absolutely obey command and discipline, and absolutely do not allow the appearance of an unorganized and undisciplined warlord style.

In the past two months, while expanding the army, in addition to vigorously grasping military training, our army has also established a contingent of political workers with pure class origins and deep bitterness and hatred, and has perfected and established soldiers' committees in various units, thus greatly promoting democracy within the army and striking a blow at the arrogance of a handful of military leaders in the army who have a paternalistic style.

I would like to reiterate here that the party's command of the gun is not empty words, and the political commissars of all units must pay close attention to their thinking, resolutely deal with those who are greedy for life and fear death that emerged during the war, and report the results of their handling. Those who violate the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention will not be tolerated, and they must be punished in accordance with military discipline and party discipline. As the common regulations of our army, the three major regulations of internal affairs, discipline, and queue regulations, are the foundation of our army's army building and the guarantee for winning wars. Who dares to take a step beyond the thunder pool, the warlord is waiting! ”

There was silence in the Wucheng Palace, and everyone listened to Yao Fan's words quietly, in their hearts, Yao Fan was already an unshakable spiritual leader and supreme commander. Everyone also felt like a dream that they could soar in a short period of time. They know that the root of this qiē today comes from their leaders, the gods in their hearts.

But Yao Fan was always worried that sooner or later there would be individual careerists among these people. The current successive victories have overshadowed the problem of a qiē, and after the capture of Beijing, many peasants-born leaders have developed a style of greedy for pleasure. Although Yao Fan had already issued a document reminding him to pay attention to his style of life, there were still people who were keen to buy houses in the capital, and some even accepted banquets and gifts from the "enlightened gentry" in the city. After a strict investigation and the handling of several cadres, this evil wind was subdued. However, without the consent of the Military Commission, Li Hainiu privately ordered Yuan Guanghai, the commander of the 15th Army, to execute Su Sanjie's enemy, which made Yao Fan feel that there were already signs of gangs and factions in the army.

Yao Fan glanced at Li Jun, and Li Jun, who was the director of the General Political Department, immediately picked up the text in front of him and announced solemnly:

"According to the investigation and evidence collection of the Party Central Committee, Comrade Li Hainiu has circumvented the Central Military Commission without authorization and issued an order without authorization, and his behavior is suspected of violating discipline. Yuan Guanghai, commander of the 15th Army, carried out Li Hainiu's personal orders without organizational procedures, and was suspected of violating military discipline and military law. ”

After Li Jun announced the completion of the announcement, everyone in the audience showed a surprised expression in their eyes, and many people suddenly realized why Li Hainiu, who had previously served as chief of the General Staff, could not be seen at this enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission.

Yao Fan considered that the army was expanding too fast and too fiercely, and he needed the old man to coordinate and stabilize in it, so he still planned to give Li Hainiu a chance to reflect.

Yao Fan looked at the reverent and strict faces in the Wucheng Palace, looked at the adoring and loyal eyes they cast, sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "All I can do is to remind and warn over and over again, if that day comes, if there are still some of you who continue to be like that bear, don't blame the anti-rebellion movement for being ruthless." ”

After the meeting of the Central Military Commission, Yao Fan convened a meeting of the political department non-stop, emphasizing the system of supervision and secret reporting of political cadres over the officers of various units.

"Political commissars and party branches at all levels must promptly collect and report on the ideological trends of all troops, and promptly report to counterrevolutionaries within the army who have right-leaning ideas; although the communications departments of all armies are now directly under the responsibility of the military and political departments, the secret telegrams of the political departments must be sent in cipher......

Yao Fan believed in the doctrine of balance under centralized power, and at present the political and political levels of the various armies were uneven, and the feudal traditions of the people were still relatively stubborn in their thinking; if there was no internal supervision, and there was no balance between power and personnel, once there was a hall of words, there might be a hill of cronyism. At present, the armed forces are expanding rapidly, personnel changes are frequent, and mountaineering has not yet taken shape, so it is necessary to supervise and guard against it at this time.

After the meeting of the Ministry of Political Affairs, Yao Fan attended a meeting of the Ministry of the Interior, calling for further strengthening the secret investigation and intelligence gathering of all officials in the liberated areas.

"At present, the main targets of the investigation of the Ministry of the Interior are the CPPCC officials who have been absorbed into the Provisional Government to assist in the work, as well as the speeches and deeds of a small number of people among the people, including feudal bureaucrats who have been dismissed from their posts, enlightened gentry, and scholars who have studied their studies. The Manchu bureaucracy was basically not greedy, so the focus of the arrest and trial could be on the recovery of the illegal gains of these people in the feudal dynasty......"

The recent meetings have been one after another, and Yao Fan has deeply experienced Lenin's exhaustion and extreme fatigue after the October Revolution.

After the establishment of the Soviet Union, Lenin found that there were different levels of corruption among cadres at all levels, with about 50 percent of senior cadres and 70 percent of grassroots cadres.

Yao Fan knows that there are absolutely corrupt officials under him, this is the nature of human beings, if there is no firm belief and lofty ideals, no perfect supervision and audit mechanism, no effective management structure, then this nature will devour a person's soul. When Yao Fan raises the butcher's knife against these people is determined by when he takes the national power.

As the military operations of various units unfolded, the ancient land of China was filled with the smoke of revolution.

All units of the People's Liberation Army waved red flags and held portraits of Yao Fan, constantly moving south, north, and west, and all the battles were advancing smoothly and rushing all the way. Everywhere the army went, they seized the county government, divided the land into land reform, tried the gentry, publicized policies, distributed pamphlets, organized village elections, established peasant associations, and established revolutionary committees.

For a while, the gentry of the world were terrified, they could never have imagined that Yao Fan had trained so many troops so quickly and quickly launched a march against the whole country. The sporadic rebellion was completely destroyed under the iron flow of the revolutionary army, and all the gentry and officials who dared to resist were ruthlessly suppressed and executed.

This revolution is armed with the most powerful military and the most subversive ideology! The destructive power of the feudal regime is incomparable!

After the all-out war began on 20 August, by 1 September, only 10 days later, the army going north had reached Jinzhou. The troops advancing westward had already taken Datong and Taiyuan and began to exercise military jurisdiction over the entire territory of Shanxi. Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang in Henan were taken away, and the land reform in the Central Plains was in full swing. The troops attacking Anhui moved south along Xuzhou and conquered Huainan. Jiangsu has been like a bamboo, the People's Liberation Army has conquered Yangzhou, approaching Nanjing, and the land of northern Jiangsu is full of a jubilant wave of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land.

The telegrams were sent to Beijing like snowflakes through the telegraph relay stations set up by the Intelligence Department in various places, and the orders of the Central Military Commission were also sent to all units at regular intervals every day. The military situation brought about large-scale social upheaval, and the landlords and gentry who fled south were everywhere, and the concession of Shanghai was crowded with wealthy merchants and dignitaries who had fled.

This scene in the concession is reminiscent of the Taiping Army, when the Shanghai concession was also crowded with trembling landlords and gentry.

Wu Yuanbing, the governor of Jiangsu, hid in a local merchant's mansion in the British Concession in Shanghai, pushed the window to look at the carts carrying cages and the accompanying house slaves on the street, turned around and said to his family angrily: "The world is in chaos! Yao Fan's demons confuse the crowd and sweep the north, and no one can stop it! Li Hongzhang aided in abuse, which is extremely hateful! ”

Wu Yuanbing's son Wu Fuxin said mournfully: "Dad, I knew this was the case, I should have borrowed Li Hongzhang's post in the first place, and we should have ended up as an enlightened gentleman." ”

Wu Yuanbing scolded: "My Wu family is a century-old family, and there are 8,000 acres of fertile land in northern Jiangsu!" How can this ancestral inheritance be handed over to that Yao Fan for nothing!
