Chapter 276: Chamber of Commerce and Industry

readx;? Let's not talk about a series of conscriptions, training, and other things that were carried out in Jing County after the war, just talk about Su Yu and the advance detachment led by him. www.biquge.info After a few days of quiet marching, they arrived at Yansi Town, the capital of Huizhou, where they were originally stationed. As soon as Su Yu returned to Yansi Town, he made contact with the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army and learned that the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, the first, second, and third detachments, as well as the guard battalion, would arrive at the Yansi garrison in ten days.

Su Yu began to clear the camp and prepare for the arrival of the large army. Ten days later, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, three detachments under its jurisdiction, and a guard battalion totaling more than 6,000 people arrived at Yansi Town. Ye Ting and others had learned by telegram that Su Yu led the leading detachment to cooperate with General Wang Haitao's troops to win a great victory in Jing County and captured a lot of booty, but the specific situation is unknown.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the rock temple, Ye Ting and the others did not take a break, and immediately convened a meeting of the main cadres of the New Fourth Army. At the meeting, Su Yu recounted in detail the battle in which he led the leading detachment and the independent brigade led by Commander Wang Haitao to fight together, completely annihilated the Yongye detachment of the Japanese army at the city of Jing County, inflicted heavy damage on another reinforced wing of the Japanese army, and killed more than 7,000 enemies in total.

When Ye Ting and Xiang Ying first heard that more than 7,000 Japanese troops, including a major general, had been annihilated in this battle, they all looked at each other. And when they heard Su Yu describe that the independent brigade led by Commander Wang Haitao not only had an armored regiment and a heavy artillery regiment, but also an infantry battalion was equipped with dozens of mortars, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and the soldiers were using all-German new weapons, they couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

It was as if Su Yu told what he had seen that the heavy artillery regiment had bombarded a reinforced wing of the Japanese army with dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces for dozens of minutes, and these cadres of the New Fourth Army could not sit still. Babbling began. In the end, Su Yu said: "Army commander, political commissar, according to my observation and experience in Jing County in the past few days, I think this General Wang Haitao can still be regarded as a friend of our New Fourth Army. Judging from the weapons and ammunition he gave us to the New Fourth Army, which were enough to equip 2,000 men, he had no hostility towards our New Fourth Army at all.

Moreover, before leaving, this General Wang Haitao gave Commander Ye and Political Commissar Xiang 10,000 oceans and ten brand-new German-made pistols as gifts. I think that this General Wang is completely different from other Kuomintang officers who are hostile to our ** army, and he is worth associating. After Su Yu finished speaking, he asked the soldiers to carry up the two boxes sent by Wang Haitao.

After opening the box, the large box was full of boxes and seals, and the small box contained ten brand-new 54-style pistols, leather goods, and 100 rounds of ammunition for each pistol. Ye Ting took a pistol, took out the 54-style pistol from the holster, and after playing with it for a while, he said: "What a good gun! How is it, what do you think of this General Wang Haitao? Let's talk about it." ”

Xiang Ying stood up and said: "Comrades, judging from all indications, this General Wang Haitao is fundamentally different from those resolute Kuomintang diehards. He was a Kuomintang officer who sincerely resisted Japan and gave great help to the troops under the leadership of our **. In accordance with the spirit of uniting all armed forces that sincerely resist Japan and building the broadest anti-Japanese national united front put forward by the Party Central Committee and the Communist Party of China, I believe that this General Wang Haitao is an object that can be united and won over. ”

Xiang Ying's remarks were unanimously approved by everyone present. Then Commander Ye Ting said: "Chiang Kai-shek's appointment of General Wang Haitao as the commander of the Jiangnan Theater seems to have given our New Fourth Army a chance to develop and grow. We must take advantage of this favorable opportunity to develop and grow as soon as possible.

Commander Chen, after the redressing, your detachment should pay close attention to training and strive to become the unit with the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole army. As for handing over mortars and some heavy weapons to the guard battalion, Battalion Commander Wang, you have to form a machine gun company and make good use of these heavy weapons. ”

Chen Yi and Battalion Commander Wang of the guard battalion stood up at the same time and replied, "Yes, army commander." At this time, if Wang Haitao was present, he would have been surprised, it turned out that this Wang battalion commander was none other than Wang Haitao's grandfather Wang Weikuan before he crossed over, that is, Wang Weikuan, the Red Army company commander who was rescued by Wang Haitao in Longzhou County.

Ye Ting pressed his hand and let the two sit down, and then said: "I'm going to find an opportunity to visit the commander of the Jiangnan Theater, our New Fourth Army has gained so many benefits from others for nothing, we can't even say hello." Besides, they are all in the Jiangnan territory, and he is our nominal boss, and when there will always be times to help each other in the future, we will not even say hello, which seems that our New Fourth Army is stingy. ”

The New Fourth Army has just arrived in southern Anhui, and there are really a lot of things that need to be done. At the same time, Wang Haitao is also gathering with people from the industrial and business circles in Jing County. This was organized by Wang Daoyuan, the former head of Jing County of the Nationalist Government. After the Japanese army captured Xuancheng, the county magistrate moved the county government to Langqiao Town, and it was not until Wang Haitao defeated the invading Japanese army that Wang Daoyuan returned to Jing County with the people of the county government.

After Wang Daoyuan personally visited General Wang Haitao, commander of the Jiangnan Theater of Operations, he learned that he would be stationed in the county seat of Jingxian County for a long time, and saw Wang Haitao's strength, so he was naturally overjoyed, and Wang Haitao also needed an obedient person who could manage the place, and he was naturally happy to see the county magistrate come back.

Wang Haitao's first task to County Magistrate Wang was to take over the civil affairs of Jing County in an all-round way, and to set up a police station in Jing County, and to set up a military police team to be responsible for public security in Jing County. The second task is to convene a meeting of the county's industrial and business circles, which is why everyone is gathered together today. As soon as they sat down, these people began to sing praises to Wang Haitao, and kept patting on the back.

At first, Wang Haitao was still patiently dealing with these people, but gradually Wang Haitao became a little impatient. Wang Daoyuan is a person who is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw Wang Haitao like this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, today Wang summoned everyone to come, it is Commander Wang of the Jiangnan Theater who has instructions, and now we will ask Commander Wang to give instructions, everyone is welcome." ”

Wang Haitao waved his hand in the applause of everyone, and then said: "You are all the leading figures in the industrial and commercial circles of Jing County, I invite you to come over today, one is not to collect grain, and the other is not to ask for money, I have two things I want to discuss with you." The first thing is about the handicraft production in Jing County.

Jing County is now garrisoned by our independent brigade, and there will be no more small Japan to harass Jing County for a long time, and we must vigorously develop the people's livelihood during this period so that the people can live a good life. You are all from Jing County, and you naturally know that Jing County has been 'seven mountains, one water, one field, one road and manor) since ancient times. 'Grain is only enough for one food and clothing, so if the people can have surplus money to buy food, it is natural to vigorously develop the handicraft industry.

Jing County's handicraft industry has a long history, as far as I know, rice paper, tea, silk reeling, textile has always been the four main handicraft industries in Jing County, so expand the scale of production, encourage and drive farmers to plant tea, grow mulberry and raise silkworms is what you should strive to do, only by expanding the scale of the handicraft industry, in order to let more people have something to do, have income.

The second thing is that the production of handicraft products has increased, and how to expand the sales channels and buy these products better. After our independent brigade gained a foothold in Jing County, although the Japanese army was unable to attack us, they would definitely blockade us and cut us off from the outside world, so as to achieve the goal of trapping us, so how to open up trade routes became the key.

I believe that all merchants have been in business for many years, and naturally there will be certain ways, and I hope that all merchants will think of more ways to contact more with the outside world to better open up business routes. Only when industry develops and commerce is invigorated will we not be trapped and die in little Japan, and the people will have a good life. ”

When Wang Haitao said this, there was a round of applause. Wang Haitao waved his hand again and said, "My independent brigade now has more than 4,000 people, and I will continue to recruit soldiers soon." These thousands of people need a lot of supplies every day, and here I would like to find a few merchants as special suppliers for our independent brigade to provide us with the daily necessities we need.

But please rest assured, I, Wang Haitao, do not owe debts, and do not owe debts, and all transactions are made in cash. In addition, the monthly salaries of each of the officers and men of our independent brigade are also paid in full in cash, and there will be no arrears; if the officers and men of the independent brigade force the merchants to buy and sell, and bully others, even if you come to me or the county magistrate Wang, I, Wang Haitao, will repay you justice. But if anyone dares to bully the market, raise prices, and shoddy, then I, Wang Haitao, will never let him go. ”

Wang Haitao's remarks should have reassured these businessmen and sounded the alarm for several businessmen with evil intentions. After the meeting, Wang Haitao assigned a bunch of tasks to Wang Daoyuan, the county magistrate, such as strengthening agriculture and promoting tea mulberry, and because the county government had just moved back to Jing County and had nothing, he allocated 20,000 yuan to the county government, so that Wang Daoyuan could use the money to carry out the government's work first.

Wang Haitao's behavior made Wang Daoyuan puzzled, he has been an official for many years, and he has seen many officials of all sizes, and other officials are trying their best to make a big profit, but this Commander Wang not only did not make a dollar, but took out 20,000 yuan of ocean from his pocket and handed it to himself.

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyuan seems to have figured out that this Commander Wang is indeed different from other officials, he should be an official who really thinks about the people, but unfortunately there are really no officials like Commander Wang in this society now. With such a chief, it seems that his previous behavior will also be changed.

Wang Haitao was thinking about money at this time, the last time he returned to Longzhou, he handed over most of the money on his body to Tang Renli, and only left a million oceans in the storage ring, and he gave most of the oceans to the Jurong base and the Nanjing Logistics Office, plus the expenses after coming to Jing County, now he only has tens of thousands of oceans left, and it seems that it is urgent to go out once.
