Chapter 951: New Deal in North Henan
"Military, this is more than a dozen radio stations we monitored. I found that the Japanese army's recent encrypted communications were very frequent. In addition, the "code names" of relevant divisions continued to appear in the telegrams. After our analysis, in North China, there are a total of six divisions, including the 5th, 16th, 20th, 108th, 109th and 114th Japanese troops, as well as independent brigades such as the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 13th..."
"In central China, we have successively discovered the numbers of 9 divisions including the Japanese Guard Division, 6th, 101, 106, 14, 107, 15, 22, 17, 116..."
"In addition, the Japanese base camp recently seems to have incorporated the temporary aviation regiment from North China into the Central China Front Army and formed a new aviation regiment. There are a total of three flight regiments and an independent flight squadron, with about 500 aircraft of various types!"
Leng Feng silently calculated that there were already 14 divisions in addition to the known Japanese divisions in China (except the Kwantung Army). If these divisions were full, they would be at least more than 300,000 people.
If some independent brigades and garrisons have already guarded the troops, the Japanese combat troops in China will have at least 400,000 troops.
If you count the logistics personnel and relevant auxiliary personnel, there will definitely be 600,000.
"According to the latest information, the 18th Japanese Division stationed in Huzhou has recently been transferred to TW for rest, and the successor is..."
Leng Feng rubbed his temples. Although he couldn't sleep, he had been chatting with Xue Boling for nearly a year yesterday. It was night, and he didn't sleep well, and he even drank a lot of alcohol.
During the morning intelligence meeting, he was a little absent-minded.
Guo Weiquan, Xue Ping and others who reported on the work also realized that Leng Feng was not very energetic and must have talked with Chief Xue for too long last night.
"Military, you haven't slept all night. Do you want to go to the airport to see Chief Xue later?" Guo Weiquan said.
Lao Jiang was really impatient and actually sent a plane directly to Xinxiang to pick up Xue Boling. Fortunately, there was an airport in Xinxiang. Otherwise, Leng Feng would have repaired a suggested runway?
"Well, Xue Boling's wine is really powerful. I still feel uncomfortable. Today's regular meeting will be here first. I will take a look at it for a while and call me when it's time." Leng Feng nodded.
"Okay, those few not-so-important meetings in the morning will be postponed until tomorrow?"
"No, I'll drive after I'll send Xue Boling back and push it back for an hour or two." Leng Feng ordered. He didn't like to push the day's things to tomorrow. This habit is very bad.
"OK."
The plane to pick up Xue Boling arrived at Xinxiang Airport at 9:00 a.m. The airport conditions were good, the plane landed very smoothly, and the plane landed afterwards.
Leng Feng and Xue Boling set out to the airport.
A transport plane could only accommodate more than a dozen people, Xue Boling and his group dozens of people, and he could only take less than half of them away. The rest were led by Chief of Staff Wu Xiqi, who continued to stay in Xinxiang for a few days, and then returned by land.
Xue Boling took his adjutant and several staff officers to take the lead and flew to Wuhan.
After seeing Xue Boling away, Leng Feng returned to the Northern Henan Administration for a meeting and handling military and political affairs.
Leng Feng's will to implement "reduce rent and interest rates" in northern Henan is unchangeable. Within a few days after sending Xue Boling and his party away, his focus of his work has shifted to this important policy.
Although "reducing rent and interest rates" has affected the interests of some landlords and feudal gentry, more people have benefited, especially in the vast rural areas. For farmers, the implementation of this policy is real for them.
Why did Leng Feng implement this policy at this time? Because summer grain has just been collected, if the policy is not introduced at this time, it will take some time to wait until the farmers are truly benefited.
It’s not that Leng Feng is eager to make a quick move, but that he must seize this time.
Of course, if the "rental reduction" is reduced alone, it will definitely be boycotted by many landlords and local gentry forces, and Leng Feng will also compensate in other aspects.
For example, when landlords start a business, they give preferential tax incentives, such as not collecting taxes for three or two years, halving taxes, etc., and some political treatment, such as giving status as a county senator, etc.
If some enlightened landlords have a little vision, they will naturally understand that this world is no longer the world of the past. If they blindly stand against the people, they will be buried by the times.
The new era is coming back. Even if the current government does not move due to various powerful resistances, it will move sooner or later.
The anti-Japanese bases led by GCD have long begun to implement this policy of "reducing rents and interest rates", and they have not seen the landlord's family destroying people. Instead, as long as they collect tenant rent fairly and reasonably, they will live a good life without exploiting and oppressing the people.
After preparations, Leng Feng summoned administrative officials and party representatives from all administrative counties and districts in northern Henan, which looked like almost thousands of people.
A joint representative meeting was held in Xinxiang.
This is the "Thousand People Conference" in northern Henan that will be written into history in the future.
Because this meeting is not easy to define for him, the meetings were administrative officials at all levels in northern Henan, the appointments of Leng Feng's Northern Henan Administration, and the past retained representatives, representatives of various parties, including GMD, GCD, and some local religious leaders, landlords and gentry representatives, industrial and commercial representatives, farmers representatives, etc.
This is a hodgepodge meeting.
The preparation time is relatively tight, only about ten days.
Many people set out the next day after receiving the invitation, and then arrived in Xinxiang at the beginning of the meeting, and some arrived after the meeting.
However, this hasty meeting had an extremely profound impact on the future of northern Henan.
Leng Feng gave a report on the "Recent Policy Outline of Northern Henan" at the meeting, and of course the final document was called the "Outline of the Implementation of the Three-Year Plan for Northern Henan".
The focus of this "Three-Year Plan Outline" is to change the survival of farmers in northern Henan, improve rural living and economic conditions, and alleviate the sharp contradictions between farmers and landlords.
Implement the "Two Five-Year Rent Reduction" policy, stipulate the policy of "reducing tenant farmland rent by at least 25%" to reduce the burden on farmers, and punish some landlords and traitors who are evil, and distribute the land under their names to poor and lower-middle farmers in the region, etc.
In addition, all private capital is encouraged to create industries. The Administrative Office can provide all convenient conditions and policies. As long as the government does not expressly prohibit or restrict, any area can be entered.
However, there is one thing: anyone with Japanese background is not allowed to enter. If you find that all property is confiscated and collude with Japanese capital, you will be seriously investigated and punished as traitors.
Politically, unite all forces that can be united and respond to the "Programme of the Anti-Japanese and National Founding of the National Congress" held in Wuhan in April this year.
The conference also decided to send work rents to all counties and districts to guide and supervise whether the implementation of the "25-5 rent reduction" in various regions is carried out thoroughly.
The "Outline of the Implementation of the Three-Year Plan for Northern Henan" has a one-month public announcement period, which is also a publicity period. It is informed by the six million people in northern Henan and then enters the implementation stage. In principle, it is three months. The time can be appropriately extended depending on the situation, and the entire goal of "25 rent reduction" can be completed within a maximum of half a year.
One month of the public announcement period is also the time for the training working group.
Leng Feng was not afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's suspicion, so he directly transferred more than 100 political cadres from Commander Zhang of the XSJ Jiangbei Column.
Plus the three hundred people who bargained with Wang Chong.
Leng Feng then pulled out nearly one regiment of troops from the four main brigades, and combined with some personnel selected from the northern Henan region, he formed 150 working groups.
This 150 working groups were allocated according to the New First Army garrison, and set up four district workstations, Xinxiang, Puyang, Jiaozuo and Anyang.
The work scope of their respective work rent shall be defined according to the area defended by their respective garrisons.
Among them, Xinxiang belongs to the largest area and the largest population, and the number of final working groups is also the largest, with as many as 46 working groups.
The working group accepts dual leadership from the region and the New Army, and each working group is equipped with a squad of armed protection forces to ensure the safety of personnel.
After all the personnel are in place, they will gather together for closed training and training, because there are still many lesbians who are very talented but have poor self-protection ability and must undergo a stage of theoretical and military training.
Leng Feng did not borrow all the people from others, and he himself took this opportunity to prepare to train a group of political workers. He also classified some young students from the reserve officers' regiment to join the working group.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, I'm not going to stay in northern Henan for a long time. Jiang Jiang would never watch me follow me in northern Henan. I'm different from you. He is just trying to attack you, but he is afraid of public opinion and has some concerns. As long as I don't go too far, he will not dare to attack me." Leng Feng brought the watermelon that he himself sat on the chair and was leisurely and contented.
After Leng Feng was taken over by northern Henan, Wang Chong had no combat missions. The Japanese retreated into towns, built watchtowers and pulled barbed wire, which was difficult to fight. He could only rest assured and develop the base.
"You really think about our principal. The more you don't rely on him, the less you will not listen to him. For a disobedient person, he still needs you now and can only move you constantly. Moreover, the war will break out in no time. How can you, such an elite unit, let you stay by the Yellow River and play with mud?" Wang Chong smiled and said.
After getting familiar with each other, although the conversation between the two often had puzzles, they basically didn't have so many concerns.
"Or else, I'll go there?"
"Don't, don't scare me. At this time, people will die at this time..." Wang Chong choked, and he was obviously scared by Leng Feng's words.
"Just kidding, I don't know which one is more important? Besides, I only have the memories of waking up now, and my previous memories have not yet been restored." Leng Feng smiled. In fact, he couldn't recover either. It would be better if he could advance or retreat more easily.
Even if he has this idea now, it is unrealistic and will cause some terrible consequences, which is not just something he can bear.
"To be honest, Brother Qi told me about this, and I was shocked. It was too incredible. Why did you think this is so magical?"
"Let's not talk about this topic for now. 'Two-five rent reduction' is a good policy. If you implement it well, the situation in northern Henan will be another scene. However, why did GMD do it before but it failed? Is it because they compromised by themselves? This is only part of the reason. There are problems with the person who executes it. Why don't I use locals? This is the reason. Some people, it is useless to reason with them. I think you understand this truth much more deeply than I do."
"That's right." Wang Chong nodded slowly.
"I will try to make them shed less blood," Leng Feng said.
Wang Chong didn't say anything because he really didn't know what to say.
"I'll leave first, senior brother, I'm afraid I won't have time to see you in the future."
"I'm leaving too. I've gained several pounds from you. If I continue eating like this, I'll almost get rid of my horse." Wang Chong smiled.
He really can't stay. He's in good health. Besides, he's not an idle person, and he's waiting for him to go back to deal with many things.
"Then take care of it."
