Chapter 164: Xu Jiajun conferred the title

Having successfully stabilized the revolutionary army, the biggest unstable factor around the four realms of Gannan, Xu Bin could also concentrate on shifting his attention to the rest of the three realms under the new command. For these provinces, which were as barren as Gannan Province in the past, Xu Bin knew that it would take a long time to transform them.

It's just that after the promulgation of a series of tax policies that benefit the people of all provinces, Xu Bin's first concern is the implementation of the division of land and land. For this time and space, the situation that ordinary people also regard land as life has always been the focus of Xu Jiajun's attention. From Xu Bin to any of them, the grassroots staff who were dispatched to various places to implement the division of fields and land.

In a fair and just manner, they will divide the land half bought and half looted by the military government to the common people who almost rely on rented land to get by. Although after the land was allocated, they also had to pay rent to the military government every year. But as long as the number of fields under their name does not exceed the limit of the junta.

After a year of hardship, they only need to pay a small part of the public grain, and the rest of the grain can be used or sold to the military government. At the same time, the work of helping the poor and helping the poor carried out in various places has also made these people, who have suffered from poverty, seem to see the hope of a new life.

As for the small landlords who owned more land than the local people owned per capita, the military government adopted heavy taxes. In short, according to Xu Bin's meaning, it is to make these landlords who like to occupy fertile land feel that farming is unprofitable. It is only then that they will put the wealth they have accumulated into the business network that has begun to spread throughout the country.

has the land of the three provinces, and Xu Bin, who is also the governor of the three provinces, is naturally indispensable for a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Xu Bin focused on inspecting the local military and civil affairs departments. In addition, as before, he took a private visit to the microserver from time to time to ensure that the orders he issued were not discounted or changed in disguise.

In order to stabilize the land of the four realms. The large-scale conscription policy launched by Xu Jiajun in the remaining three provinces adopted a one-to-one policy. A part of the recruits will be kept in the local army. The remaining half of the recruits are in the form of swaps. They will be transferred to the remaining three provinces to serve in the other three provinces. In this way, it can also make the soldiers of each province under his command truly accept the concept of four ways into a family.

With the old foundation of the Xu Jiajun at the beginning to lay the grassroots level, and the main force attacking all provinces as the backbone, Xu Bin expanded four more armies, with a total strength of 450,000. Among them, the First Army, with Li Chengbing as its commander, was understandably stationed in Gannan Province. The Third Army with Wang Erscar as the commander. It is stationed on Thousand Lakes Road.

As for the Second Army, which was commanded by his father-in-law, Bai Diantang, it was stationed in Donghu Road. The Fourth Army, with Chen Zhengdao as its commander, was stationed in Pingfeidao, which was relatively backward.

At the same time, because it is located on the border of the Central Plains, Xu Bin deliberately established the newly expanded independent division of the Xu Family Army, and Zhou Dingbian, the leader of the Gannan Army who first surrendered to the Xu Family Army, served as the division commander. At the same time, he also served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, guarding the gate to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

These four commanders are almost equal to other warlords. is undoubtedly the emerging general of the Xu family's army. They were after the reorganization of the Xu Jiajun was officially completed. It also gathered for the first time in front of the Gannan Marshal's Mansion. A ceremony will be held for the first time since the establishment of Xu Jiajun, when he was officially awarded a general's medal and military flag. From then on, whether they can make new achievements depends on what kind of training they can eventually train the army to which they belong.

Except for the First Army led by Li Chengbing, 80 percent of its members were composed of Gannan soldiers, and the other three armies included independent divisions. It is completely divided equally by the soldiers of the four realms. Of course, most of the officers and men who serve as officers and backbone officers in various armies are officers and soldiers of Gannan nationality.

Regarding this obviously discriminatory treatment, Xu Bin made it clear when he became an army. After joining the army, officers and men of any nationality can enjoy a fair promotion policy. In addition, the newly established Gannan Military Academy in the Hero City has gathered thousands of outstanding officers recruited from the other three provinces.

After these officers have completed a year of re-study in the military academy, those with outstanding grades will also be assigned to the four armies of the Xu Jiajun to take up relevant positions. The addition of these officers will undoubtedly make the Xu family army, which is dominated by Gannan people, begin to slowly turn into a unit that integrates the outstanding children of all provinces in Longhua.

It is clear that the promotion policy implemented in the Xu Jiajun has always been that those who are capable are promoted and those who cannot be demoted. The other officers who had been led for the time being also began to look forward to it. Subsequently, Xu Jiajun issued a series of promotion evaluation policies. If they are opposed to the promotion of officers in the various armies, they feel that they are capable of being stronger than others.

It is possible to lodge a protest like a higher-level officer, and after obtaining the consent of the higher-level officer, a relatively formal and fair meeting and evaluation will be held, so that the officer who protests will be taught the same stage as the officer who is about to be promoted, and the winner will be given a new position announced. It can be said that this policy of selecting and appointing officers with the advantage and the inferior is the first initiative of Xu Jiajun.

Of course, in order to avoid intentional suppression or vicious competition, this kind of challenge to the arrangement and order of the superior leader, if the competitor loses. They will also be subject to demotion, which means that those who have an opinion about the list of officers to be promoted published by their superiors must be convinced that they have the real ability to fight for these promoted officers. Otherwise, the waiting for his handling will not be small either.

The awarding of the title of the whole army also officially marks that the Gannan Army, which has always been called the Xu Family Army by others, has finally put on the sacred cloak of legitimate protection of the country. Although Xu Jiajun's military uniform is also the same as when Xu Jiajun became an army. However, the military rank system it adheres to is implemented in accordance with the military rank policy promulgated by the provisional government of Longhua State. This also means that Longhua has another new type of army with modern signs.

In this award ceremony, in addition to Xu Bin, the governor of the four provinces, who was awarded the rank of general, Situ Baili, chief of general staff of Xu Jiajun, was also awarded the rank of general. The remaining four commanders of the Xu family army were awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Even Xu Yizhong, who served as the logistics minister of the Xu Jiajun, was given the rank of lieutenant general with shining gold stars by Xu Bin, his nephew, in front of many generals.

The rest of the main division commanders, except for Zhou Dingbian, who was exceptionally awarded the rank of lieutenant general by Xu Bin, the rest of the main division commanders were awarded the rank of major general. In addition to these main division commanders, the brigade commanders of the independent brigades directly under the four main armies of the Xu Jiajun were awarded the rank of brigadier general, which is unique to Longhuaguo.

As for the rank of brigadier general and below, the four lieutenant generals who have been officially registered with the Longhua State Military Commission will be rewarded with the rank of official general in the army after returning to their respective stations. As for Xu Bin, the commander of the Xu family's army, he will not compete with these generals for this kind of limelight.

Looking at the generals gathered together, after Xu Bin finished the award ceremony, he awarded military flags to the four army commanders, as well as the independent division led by Zhou Dingbian and the independent regiment directly under Situ Qingyun, Situ Baili's son. As for the Guard Brigade, which was under the direct command of Xu Bin, it was also awarded a military flag representing its troops.

When the generals awarded the flags to the commanders of these military divisions, Xu Bin told them that the flag was in the people, and the flag was dead. If in the future their formation is crippled and the flag can be preserved, there is a chance to rebuild. If the military flag is captured by the enemy, then their military division will officially withdraw from the establishment of the Xu Family Army. This reminds these generals how sacred the flag is to an army.

In addition to these generals of the Xu family, who were known to almost all warlords and intelligence personnel of various countries, Xu Bin was in an internal high-level meeting attended only by the military commander in the evening. The Minister of Intelligence, who has been active in the dark, Tian Youliang, who was a little young at the beginning, was awarded the rank of major general.

With this official military rank, it means that under special circumstances, Tian Youliang also has the power to command a division-level unit. After all, after the official promulgation of the military rank, the rank of the officer in the Xu family's army was also clear at a glance. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of senior officers during the war, Xu Bin strictly forbade these generals to appear on the battlefield wearing this kind of general uniform.

For Tian Youliang, a general who joined the army in the early days, except for Bai Diantang, who was a little unfamiliar with him, the other three lieutenant generals talked with him very cordially. Everyone knows that the Ministry of Intelligence is now a secret agency directly under Xu Bin. They are distributed in the intelligence officers of the three departments of agriculture, commerce and military in Longhua. With all of them added, it is estimated that there will be no less than one division-level formation.

Such a group of spy personnel directly under the management of the Ministry of Intelligence collected information from all sides for Xu Jiajun all the time, making Xu Jiajun's military operations more accurate and timely. It can be said that Xu Jiajun's ability to pacify the three roads so quickly this time is due to the infinite credit of the Ministry of Intelligence.

Therefore, for Tian Youliang, an intelligence chief who is rarely seen in ordinary times, several military commanders have given the greatest respect. As for Tian Youliang, he was also very moved by the rank of major general awarded to him by Xu Bin. After all, if Xu Bin hadn't saved his life back then, he wouldn't know where he would have lost his life!

Now he has not only become the intelligence minister of Xu Jiajun's hidden secrets, but also a general he never dared to hope for before. Who gave all this, Tian Youliang knows very well. For him, he will carry out Xu Bin's orders to the letter, and without Xu Bin there would be nothing for him, which he always keeps in mind.

As for the politeness of these military commanders to him in front of him, Tian Youliang is also clear about the status of these people in front of Xu Bin. Even if he was according to Xu Bin's orders, he also arranged secret agents from the military department in the headquarters of these army commanders, and monitored their every move at all times. But in front of these military commanders, he was still the slightly shy peasant youth he was back then.

Low-key, modest and cautious was what Xu Bin deliberately confessed when he arranged for him to serve as the Minister of Intelligence. As the Minister of Intelligence who can't see the light, Tian Youliang must endure loneliness and be willing to be ordinary.

Otherwise, once his whereabouts are found out by other warlords and foreign intelligence services, not only will his own life be at risk. The Xu Jiajun intelligence network built around him will also be hit hard. This loss is something that neither he nor Xu Bin wants to see! (To be continued......)
