The day before Lu Han arrived in Kunming, Zhang Chong also returned to Kunming from western Yunnan. The arrival of these two people represented the collapse of Long Yun's final resistance and also opened a door to a new era. One by one, Long Yucang, who escaped from the north of Jinsha River, also rushed to Lanyun East Transportation near Zhaotong, and agreed to accept the adaptation.

It seems that he thinks a lot, but Zhuang Jihua understands that most local clans in Yunnan are still watching, and Longyun's biggest supporter, Yi people in northern Yunnan were actually confused. Deng Xiuting's deterrence, their concessions were only temporarily avoiding the mania of the storm. Once the storm subsides, they could find the weakness of the garrison. At that time, the trouble would come. Therefore, to stabilize Yunnan, we must first properly deal with Longyun and other subordinates, and at the same time quickly promulgate methods to govern Yunnan.

In addition to the Yi people in northern Yunnan, there are also the Bai people, Dai people in western Yunnan, etc., many ethnic minorities are the biggest difference between Yunnan and other provinces. Most of these ethnic groups are in the slave society. The tribesmen obey their chieftains, and these chieftains all have their own arms. Although the equipment training of these armed forces is extremely poor, most of them are still using bows and arrows and machetes. After all, this is an armed force, and it is also a headache to come from time to time.

Zhuang Jihua's initial idea was to apply the elements of ethnic autonomy in his previous life, but he didn't know what elements needed for ethnic autonomy, and he didn't know how to implement them, so he finally gave up this idea temporarily, planned to maintain the status quo and slowly advance towards regional ethnic autonomy. Maintaining stability at this stage is the most important thing. Lu Han was accompanied by Du Yuming to Kunming. He had a little broad face and dark skin. His long-term military career made him full of military aura, while Zhang Chong was three-pointedly elegant. They were all Yi people, but they were Chinese Yi people.

"General Lu, General Zhang, we won't talk nonsense today," Zhuang Jihua said straight to the point. They are the leading figures of the Longyun Group. They have rich political and military experience and it is useless to communicate with them and talk about some great principles. It is better to explain the powerful relationship clearly. These practical things may impress them more: "Chairman Long has gone to Nanjing. Yunnan is no longer the kingdom of **, and is completely under the jurisdiction of the central government. The two generals are heroes in central Yunnan. When they can see the development of historical trends, this state of ** traveling outside the central government will inevitably disappear in the development of historical places."

Zhuang Jihua's opening remarks surprised Lu Han and Zhang Chong, Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie and Li Anding. The former felt heavy, while the latter felt naked and pulled down all the masks.

"So I hope that the two of you can sincerely cooperate with the central government and stop thinking about anything. Now we must cooperate and jointly govern Yunnan well. We will benefit the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan and the country." Zhuang Jihua said sincerely.

Lu Han and Zhang Chong looked at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "General Zhuang said it very readily. I will only say that we are willing to cooperate with the central government and I can hand over the army, but I hope to agree to my work in the local area and benefit the people of Yunnan."

Du Yuming, Fan Hanjie and Li Anding looked at each other with heavy eyes. They didn't believe Lu Han's words. He could not give up the army. This was to retreat to advance. However, although their seriousness showed concerns, their expressions were relatively relaxed. Lu Han's troops were all new recruits, with poor equipment, and only more than 5,000 people, and their strength was not very strong.

Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly: "Now is not the time to release military power with a cup of wine. Now it is time to gather the national manpower and material resources, and the talents of all walks of life and ethnic groups in the country. General Lu, I will not ask you to give up military power. I also disagree with you to give up military power. On the contrary, I will strengthen your army. After the entire Yunnan army is reorganized in the future, you will be the commander. As for the number of troops," Zhuang Jihua said after thinking about it: "The original Yunnan army has an army number, and the reorganized Yunnan army is also one army, three divisions and nine brigades. Compared with the guards, each division has 15,000 people. Plus the direct troops, ** troops, and a total force of 50,000."

Lu Han and Zhang Chong were a little stupid. They looked at each other. There were only more than 40,000 former Yunnan Army, which was completely expanded. Although the range was not large, Zhang Chong immediately reacted and frowned slightly and said, "If this is the case, can Yunnan's finances support it?"

Zhuang Jihua understood his meaning. If this is the case, Yunnan cannot have only the Yunnan Army. The Central Army will definitely move into Yunnan. In this way, the financial situation in Yunnan will definitely go bankrupt.

"Don't worry about this. All the troops in Yunnan garrisons are under the responsibility of the Southwest Development Team." Zhuang Jihua said quietly: "All the local taxes in Yunnan are used for local construction in Yunnan. Everyone. Yunnan is the most important thing to build, improve transportation, and develop industry. Yunnan has a very good condition that Sichuan is incomparable to it. That is, it is close to the border and borders Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos. The development potential is unlimited. And the Japanese cannot block it. We must seize the time to build Yunnan into a stable rear of the Anti-Japanese War."

Zhuang Jihua spoke later, his tone became a little quick. He made great concessions to Yunnan because he didn't want to spend too much time on internal friction.

"How many people should this army send in?" Lu Han didn't believe that pie fell from the sky: "Does the Chairman agree?"

This question is also sharp. Zhuang Jihua calmly replied: "The Chairman has agreed." In order to convince Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua sent three long telegrams in a row to explain to him that this is necessary and has an important role in quickly stabilizing Yunnan. Finally, he was convinced: "Of course the central government will send people in. There are two main aspects: political aspects and technical arms. Although the Yunnan Military Academy trained technical officers, the troops' equipment did not keep up. Therefore, these officers had no practical experience. Therefore, the central government wanted to shoot people in. As for the others, they were all served as the former Yunnan Army officers."

Lu Han and Zhang Chong were completely knocked down by huge happiness, especially Lu Han. He didn't expect this result. It took him a while to react and asked tentatively: "Are you not worried at all?"

"There is nothing to worry about," Zhuang Jihua looked at him calmly: "General Lu, the country can no longer stand the tossing. The reason why I expanded rather than reduced the Yunnan Army was because foreign troubles were getting worse. I don't hide it from the general. If the general wants to rebel, or otherwise, I can still pacify it because the general trend is irresistible; what is the current trend?"

Zhuang Jihua looked at Lu Han and Zhang Chong very seriously: "The central government will soon be able to pacify the army when Guangdong and Guangxi rise up. Why? It is not that their strength is not strong, but that the people are unwilling to fight a civil war again. The people's hearts are the morale of the army. General Lu, no matter how abnormal there is in Yunnan, I believe that the people of Yunnan will not support you, and your subordinates will not support you."

"Northern Japan is aggressive. We have lost so much territory but have never stopped internal friction. I can't understand why? Is power so attractive? Is it worth our abandonment of everything and pursuing it?"

The air in the room became depressed, and everyone was silent. A needle fell to the ground and could hear it. Zhuang Jihua vented for a while before he said mockingly: "Maybe I am too idealistic, but I am not afraid of war. If the war must come, then come, we have the ability to deal with it."

"General Zhuang, our Yunnan Army is very supportive in the fight against Japan," Zhang Chong said carefully: "We don't want to be internally fussed anymore. We are very grateful for this arrangement by the central government. The Yunnan Army will definitely remember it."

"It is not enough to remember it alone. What I want is you to play a practical role," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "We don't have much time left. Within two years, Yunnan must complete the following work, complete village and town zoning, establish reserves, innovate politics, build transportation, especially the highway to Yangon, Myanmar. It is stable. You are responsible for party affairs. The Yunnan Party Affairs Investigation Section is under your control. You must pay attention to infiltration into Myanmar, establish a spy network in Myanmar, and secretly support the Burmese anti-British struggle;" Li Anding nodded and agreed, and Zhuang Jihua turned to Du Yuming again: "Guangting, send professional surveying and mapping personnel to Myanmar to draw detailed and accurate military maps in preparation for the future."

Before Du Yuming responded, Lu Han and Zhang Chong were very surprised. Lu Han quickly stood up: "General Zhuang, what are you doing? A Japanese is enough for us to deal with it, why do you want to mess with the British?"

Zhuang Jihua smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we go to provoke the British, but that we are preparing to fight against the Japanese in Myanmar."

Later, he explained his analysis of Liu Xiang and the others in detail.

"We must make such preparations. Of course, this is just preparation. Let's not talk about whether the Sichuan-Tibet Highway can be built. Even if it is built, cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from Sichuan, arrive in India, and return from India. Can such a long transportation line and such difficult conditions meet the needs? I am not sure that the Yunnan-Burma Highway is the most important."

Lu Han and Zhang Chong knew that Zhuang Jihua was indeed planning the future war of resistance, rather than pretending to be hypocritical. Just shouting slogans. Zhuang Jihua said again: "General Lu, General Zhang, the reorganization of the Yunnan Army must be done quickly. We may only have one or two years. Guangting, Guards, I will leave you 20,000 people. Within half a year, you will have to expand to 50,000 people. The weapons and equipment will be provided by Chongqing. Howitzers and cannons may have to be slow, and the output is too small."

Du Yuming thought about it and asked: "It's not difficult to have 50,000 people, but I have to be allowed to recruit soldiers in Guizhou."

"I don't care where you go to recruit soldiers. Anyway, you will prepare at least a 50,000 troops for me in half a year. In addition, the reserve construction must be carried out quickly. I will give you a year to solve this problem. Can you do it?" Zhuang Jihua not only looked at Du Yuming this time, but also looked at others.

"Make sure to be completed!" There was only one figure in the answer, Du Yuming, Fan Hanjie, Li Anding from Chongqing, while Lu Han and Zhang Chong did not say anything.

"What, what do the two generals have?" Zhuang Jihua asked.
Chapter completed!
