Chapter 357: Sky-high tuition
In history, Zhang Xun's restoration, although only a short ten days, but the harm caused is no less than Yuan Shikai's Hongxian Empire, after the restoration, there is still a trace of repentance, in accordance with the provisions of the law, let Li Yuanhong succeed, Duan Qirui auxiliary government, the Republic of China's law is still effective, the whole country still has a way to live.
Zhang Xun's restoration was to completely shatter the legal system since the Republic of China, the contradictions within Beiyang were completely out of control, and the struggle between the two factions of Zhiwan and Anhui had tended to be superficial, and Sun Wen's faction also took advantage of this opportunity to completely make trouble in the south, and the whole of China formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, and the warlord melee was inevitable.
In addition, because the restoration action took place in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the impact on China's politics and economy is very huge, and the surrounding areas of Beijing are full of refugees, helping the old and the young, running in all directions, whether it is the Beiyang Army or the Braided Army, military discipline is very lax, and the families of the soldiers and bandits are the most haode description for them, and everywhere they pass, there are constant robberies, and the common people are displaced.
Being in the center of this storm, Zhang Tinglan deeply felt the helplessness of the people, and he understood very well that now is a race, and the Feng army is not only running with the Japanese, but also running with the domestic situation, if you want to dominate the future of China, you must come up with real construction achievements as soon as possible, so that all the people can find a way out, otherwise everything will continue the original history.
Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and there is a limit to the patience of the people of the world!
Walking in the temporary resettlement site for refugees, Zhang Tinglan felt more and more urgency, more and more refugees gathered here, they dragged their families with them, some of them lost their houses, some of their farmland was destroyed, some were forcibly taken to work as coolies, and then escaped.
Most of these people don't understand what restoration is. They don't even understand what a democratic republic is, they only know that their homeland has been destroyed, not only the Braided Army, but also the Beiyang Army, and they have completely lost hope in their future lives.
More and more people were crying in low voices, and in the middle of the settlement, there were a few makeshift cauldrons boiling soup in them, cutting haode cabbage and putting it in, and then pouring in a few canned meats. Add some spice powder, and a pot of fragrant soup is ready.
Each refugee was given a bowl of soup, steamed haode steamed buns, and the food was distributed by the Fengjun cooks and many students. They are all serious about their work, if there are elderly and infirm refugees. They also offered to bring food over. Some of the refugees were also injured and needed their help to bandage.
This is also arranged by Zhang Tinglan, he does need a large number of aspiring young people to join the ranks of the Feng army, but these young people must be able to do things sincerely, not out of momentary excitement. Although Mukden will try to provide the most haode environment possible, Fengjun is in the time of starting a business. It can be said that it is self-made, and it must have a large number of hard-working doers!
Among these college students, in fact, most of them are well-off and do not have certain financial support. Don't even want to enter the gate of the school, of course, the more this is the case, the more you need to carefully screen it, Zhang Tinglan doesn't want to recruit a group of young masters to go back.
Now let them help to help these refugees, is the first test, the attitude towards these poor people, the best can show a person's character, in addition to these students also need to work, help settle the refugees, set up tents, cook and make fires.
Many of these people did not know how to do any work, and of course there were many who did not want to suffer and suffer, and they came at first with enthusiasm, thinking that they would be able to put on military uniforms and carry guns to fight and become glorious soldiers. But as soon as they saw that the first job was to do these dirty jobs, some people retreated and quietly left.
Of course, these people left when they left, and Zhang Tinglan didn't care about them, now the teachers in the entire academic world are talking a lot, and there are few who can do practical things. Teachers are like this, and it is even more normal for students to be contaminated with this habit, and such people run to the northeast, which will only bring bad atmosphere.
It is these students who really stay that have the most cultivation value, and they settled the refugees for a meal, and the mood of these refugees has stabilized a lot, and Zhang Tinglan also took the initiative to ask about their situation.
"Sir, you are a good person, and your subordinates are all good soldiers, but some of the soldiers simply don't eat people's food, they have robbed my family of food, and they want to requisition it as military food, which is the rations of our family, how can we live if we rob it. I reasoned with them, these brutes hit me with the butt of their guns, and burned my house with a fire, what can we do! ”
There was one crying, there was a second, the big guys were full of grievances, and a middle-aged man in a long shirt squeezed over, and said with a crying voice: "Sir, I am the first to open a silk village in the city, and those braided soldiers have rushed to my shop, snatched everything, and injured a few young men, we are worried about being harmed by them again, so we ran out of the city, you can help us think of a way!" ”
These refugees kept crying, not only Zhang Tinglan, but also the remaining students, who were also listening carefully, and the big guy's heart also swelled with strong anger, and his fists were clenched involuntarily, not only the pigtail army was hateful, but also Beiyang.
At this time, they all set their eyes on Zhang Tinglan, and at the moment, only Feng Jun still maintains a good image, which is the hope of everyone, it depends on whether they can help solve the difficulties of these victims.
"Fellow villagers, listen to me, in this war, you have lost your homeland and your life is worrying, and the Beiyang government may not be able to compensate for your losses. I have a suggestion that you can go to the three eastern provinces and start your life again, because in the past year or so, the three eastern provinces have been absorbing immigrants from all over the world, and the total number has approached 2 million. After everyone arrives in the three eastern provinces, they will form large farms and farms, and distribute arable land according to the capita, as long as they cultivate for five years, one person can get five acres of fertile black soil, which can definitely ensure basic food and clothing! ”
Zhang Tinglan also asked his subordinates to focus on the management and distribution mode of the farm, and after hearing this, these refugees' eyes suddenly lit up, as long as they worked hard for five years, they could have land and houses. Able to settle down. And they also know that the government will also encourage a variety of businesses, they can do business, they can raise livestock, and if they are flexible and willing to pay, they can own land in a year at the earliest.
Even if you don't compare with the fastest, it takes three or four years to exchange for a piece of land that belongs to you, which is a good thing that you can't ask for.
Especially in the area of Beijing and Tianjin. There were so many rich and wealthy people that the land was completely occupied, and most of these refugees were tenant farmers, living in extreme poverty, and seeing the hope of using the land. They were particularly excited, and many refugees immediately said they wanted to go to the Northeast.
Zhang Tinglan asked the soldiers to separate the refugees who were willing to go to the northeast from the others. Organize them individually. At this time, the owner of the silk village asked again, "Sir." You have arranged for these farmers to farm, which is a great kindness, but what should we do if we can't do farm work? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the three eastern provinces need not only farmers, but also businessmen and workers, as long as they have a skill. There will be room to display their talents, workers can enter the factory to work, businessmen can also apply for loans from banks for support, and money is outside of the body. As long as you are willing to work hard, the Northeast is the place to realize your dreams! ”
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause around him, not only these refugees, but also those students, they were all sincerely happy, Feng Jun's arrangements were very thoughtful, and they did stand in the position of the common people, at this time, maybe only Feng Jun could think of helping these suffering people.
In particular, Zhang Tinglan said that the Northeast can realize everyone's dreams, which makes them particularly tempted, and these young people are full of dreams, and more and more people are determined to go to the three eastern provinces.
Zhang Tinglan immediately arranged to expand the number of refugee sites, striving to recruit more refugees, and asked Zhou Xuexi to help deliver food and clothing, Duan Qirui and Zhang Xun fought over there, and Feng Jun cleaned up the people's hearts here, and the funds used were extorted from Zhang Xun, which is simply a rare good thing in the world.
The more Zhang Tinglan thought about it, the happier he became, according to past experience, five million oceans can accommodate almost 500,000 refugees, which is basically equivalent to the size of two or three counties, and when mobilized in wartime, at least 10,000 people can be dispatched, which is almost the strength of a division, which is definitely not a small number.
When the Feng army was recruiting refugees on a large scale, the battle between the Beiyang Army and the Braided Army was also at its most intense, Duan Qirui commanded his subordinates to rush to the position of the Braided Army several times, and they were about to be defeated, but the Braided Army suddenly used two weapons, causing great damage to the Beiyang Army.
One is a long wooden handle with a warhead, and the other is a gun with only one barrel capable of firing shells in a curve. These two things are very light and dexterous, in urban combat, flexible and mobile, but the lethality is very amazing, the first time the Beiyang Army encountered this kind of weapon, it was completely unprepared, and was blown up by the pigtail army and a person turned over on his back.
The discipline of the Beiyang Army was not much better than that of the Braided Army, and after being hit, it collapsed and retreated all of a sudden, and the Braided Army also stabilized the morale of the army a little through this victory, and began to actively build fortifications, preparing to fight with Duan Qirui to the end.
Lao Duan received a report from the front and hurriedly inquired, only to understand that these two weapons, one is a grenade and the other is a mortar, and among the armies of the great powers, a large number of them have been equipped, and among all the armies in the country, only the Feng army is equipped and has played an important role in the battle against the Russians.
After figuring out the situation, Lao Duan was so angry that he hurriedly found Xu Shuzheng and asked Xiao Xu to question Fengjun, Weishenme wanted to collude with the pigtail army!
Xu Shuzheng came to the camp of the Fengjun in Nanyuan in a huff, and when he saw Xiao Xu, he was furious.
"You keep slandering Duan Gong and Zhang Xun for colluding, but now Zhang Xun is equipped with weapons that only you have, isn't it your Feng Army and the Braided Army colluding, you are really a despicable person who shouts to catch a thief!"
"Secretary General Xu, everything must be evidenced, we did sell Zhang Xun a batch of arms, but that was two months ago, at that time we didn't know what kind of restoration he would do, we can't afford such a big hat of yours!"
Xu Shuzheng forcibly suppressed his anger and said loudly: "No matter what, you can clean up the trouble you caused." ”
Zhang Tinglan immediately smiled and said: "No problem, it just so happens that the large army of the Feng army is coming up, and we will attack the braided army now." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Tinglan was about to give an order, and at this time Xu Shuzheng suddenly woke up, he couldn't let the Feng army be in the limelight again, and the head of the elimination of the pigtail army must be Lao Duan, so he hurriedly stopped Zhang Tinglan.
"You just have to tell us how to deal with grenades and mortars!"
"It's okay, we can send an officer corps over to teach you how to deal with mortars and grenades, and of course we can provide you with these two weapons, but these tactics are slowly developed by the brothers, and it takes a lot of effort, so if you want to learn, pay some tuition!"
"How much does it cost?"
"Not much, just give one or two million!" (To be continued......)
