"Yunnan has many mountains, backward education, many ethnic groups, and backward government management. If you can get it successfully in other provinces and regions, it is likely to fail. For example, the administrative force required by the reserve service must go deep into specific villages and villages, but ethnic minorities are managed by their own chieftains. The insertion of the government's administrative force will inevitably break the original management model, which will cause chaos, which may cause dissatisfaction among chieftains and eventually cause chaos."

Zhuang Jihua understood what Lu Han meant. The central meaning of Lu Han's call was that if the original management model of the chieftains was dissolved or broke, these chieftains would definitely rise up and oppose it, and the ethnic minorities were controlled by them, so it would definitely cause chaos, which would conflict with stabilizing Yunnan as soon as possible.

Lu Han talked about the facts in Yunnan, which put Zhuang Jihua in a dilemma. Before entering Kunming, he understood that the problem in Yunnan depends largely on the ethnic minorities in Yunnan. At this time, Yunnan was not mostly Han people or the Chinese minorities like in previous lives, but ethnic minorities accounted for the majority. Their own religious beliefs, social organizational structures, and living customs were very different from modern society. Modern civilization seemed to not work there, just like sending him two female slaves at first, and they were not allowed to accept it. But if you want to change him, it would cause a lot of trouble. First of all, the people you want to help do not necessarily recognize you. Secondly, the chieftains will try every means to destroy it, and their tribesmen will believe them more. Therefore, before entering Kunming, Zhuang Jihua determined to rely on the upper class of ethnic minorities to stabilize Yunnan's strategy of governing Yunnan.

"The scale and cruelty of the War of Resistance will be much greater than that of the civil war, and the losses of the troops will be much greater than that of the civil war. It is absolutely impossible to do without quick supplements. So we will establish a reserve service more than Xu." Zhuang Jihua asked sincerely: "General Yongheng, how do you think about establishing a reserve service?"

Lu Han thought for a while and said, "I suggest that you should adopt the security team method. Each county will organize a security team to protect this security, arrest bandits, and serve as a supplement to the main force in wartime."

After thinking about it, Zhuang Jihua asked: "What if it is consumed again? Moreover, Yunnan is only a corner of the country. After a large number of territory is lost, the replenishment of the rear soldiers will inevitably be added. I mean that Yunnan soldiers should not only supplement the Yunnan army, but also supplement other troops."

Lu Han suddenly fell silent. He understood Zhuang Jihua's words. It was enough to simply supplement the Yunnan Army in the security regiment model, but it was not enough to supplement it on a larger scale.

"Can you use this method of coexistence of two models?" Zhang Chong said: "In the Han settlement areas and severe Chinese-Chinese areas, the reserve method is adopted, while the chieftains and heads are authorized to form local security teams in other places, and the government will send people to guide and train."

Zhuang Jihua's eyes lit up, muttering to himself a few words, and then signaled Du Yuming and Fan Hanjie that the reserve in Chongqing was designed by Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming promoted it. He had rich experience in this regard. At this moment, seeing Zhuang Jihua seeking his opinions, Du Yuming nodded and said, "I think it is feasible. General Zhang deserves to be experienced and has many strange strategies."

"Okay, let's do it like this. General Zhang, your work arrangements are temporarily set at the Security Command," Zhuang Jihua turned around and said to Zhang Chong: "Assist Guangting in establishing a reserve service, what do you think?"

"It should be a service." Zhang Chong stood up and replied, very happy that Zhuang Jihua had adopted his suggestion so readily.

"General Lu, the brigade in southern Yunnan, must be driven back as soon as possible. To be reorganized with the troops outside the city, the reorganization work team in Chongqing has arrived within half a month. They will start immediately as soon as they arrive. In addition, more than 10,000 soldiers and officers in Huili prisoners of war camps must also be driven over. But they are different. The soldiers are willing to stay and enter the reorganization force or join the guards. They are unwilling to pay travel expenses. The officers who are willing to stay must enter the officer training regiment. I will declare first that if they are unwilling to stay, they will be on the blacklist and cannot enter the army again." Zhuang Jihua still said bluntly. He did not shy away at all.

Lu Han nodded and agreed to accept this solution. This issue needs no need to be said. At this stage, everyone has not trusted each other well. If these officers are unwilling to stay, it means that they are still dissatisfied with the central government. Then they are not trustworthy. Since it is not trustworthy, they cannot re-enter the army.

After dealing with the army, Zhuang Jihua began to prepare for the reorganization of the provincial government. He retained most of the former Yunnan Provincial Government personnel. However, he formed a government affairs training class in Kunming and transferred a group of faculty and staff from Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Yunnan Military Academy to be reorganized into the Kunming Branch of the Central Military Academy. Yang Jie, deputy director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was selected to serve as the head of the school's education.

In early August, Li Liejun finally arrived in Kunming. Zhuang Jihua led senior military and political officials in Kunming to welcome him at the airport. Li Liejun was a veteran of the Kuomintang. He served as the instructor of the Yunnan Military Academy and the principal of the Army Primary School. He was a senior of the Yunnan Army. He served as the governor of Jiangxi after the Xinhai Revolution. After the failure of the Second Revolution, he fled overseas. Yuan Shikai became emperor. He sneaked back to Yunnan and promoted Tang Jiyao to raise an army against Yuan. He served as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army and sent troops to Guangxi. He had a high reputation among the people of Yunnan.

However, Li Liejun did not come alone this time. The provincial government secretary-general Chiang Kai-shek had already decided to die. Feng Gui, director of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, was appointed as the new member of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee. Lu Shanming, a new member of the Central Party Committee. However, the subsequent personnel adjustments surprised Zhuang Jihua. Yang Yongtai resigned as the director of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and was appointed as the Wang Xiaoshan. This made Zhuang Jihua a little confused. What exactly did Chen Lifu think?

Zhuang Jihua didn't know that Chen Lifu racked his brains to win the position of Secretary-General of Yunnan Province. This is the second position in the province. However, one obvious problem is that this candidate must be supported by Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua's reputation is not ordinary. Who is Long Yun? Where is Yunnan? He actually decided to fight. The news came and Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed. He spent half an hour talking about Zhuang Jihua's achievements at the combat meeting. The senior generals at the meeting learned from him. The candidates for forming the provincial government must seek the opinions of Zhuang Jihua. That's why Chen Lifu took great pains to recommend Feng Gui. He thought that Zhuang Jihua was as long as you didn't interfere with me in my work. Then I won't interfere with you to take over the power. If you are helpful, it would be better.

Feng Gui is undoubtedly the right candidate. He has cooperated with Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua is quite satisfied with him. Zhuang Jihua will not object to his position. The special key is that Zhuang Jihua has no candidate in his own pocket. He either accepts Feng Gui or accepts people from the political and academic department. Chen Lifu is confident. Feng Gui is definitely more suitable than the candidate proposed by Yang Yongtai. Wang Xiaoshan further shows goodwill to Zhuang Jihua and eliminates the impact of the last assassination.

Sure enough, Zhuang Jihua did not raise any objections. Chiang Kai-shek agreed when he called for advice, so Feng Gui got a big advantage and easily jumped from the director of the party department to the secretary-general of the provincial government.

"Xiaoshan is the director of the party department, and this Lifu is really bold." Zhuang Jihua looked at Feng Gui, who was very excited, and said to Wu Ziniu beside him in a low voice.

Wu Ziniu smiled and whispered: "I think he can do it, he is steady and has a organized job. This Party Director is not a piece of cake."

Zhuang Jihua shook his head gently. He did not think that Wang Xiaoshan was the candidate for the party director. He insisted that Wang Xiaoshan was still suitable for the spy and spy industry. He was calm, thoughtful, unique and keen. This was the essential quality of an excellent agent, but in theory he was still a layman in the Three Principles of the People.

Li Liejun was very excited about returning to Yunnan. After moving into Wuhua Mountain, he came to discuss the policy of Yunnan with Zhuang Jihua without rest. Before he went to Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek specially invited him from Nanjing to Nanchang to meet him, and explained in person that Yunnan's governance should cooperate with Southwest development, so he must discuss it with Zhuang Jihua.

Li Liejun is essentially a soldier and is not familiar with civil affairs, but he also has his own ideas and wants to build Yunnan in his own way. As soon as he opened his mouth, he proposed five major items, including developing industry and commerce, developing transportation, establishing schools, reducing the army, and rectifying the administration of officials. Zhuang Jihua listened silently, Yunnan Finance Minister Lu Chongren, Yunnan Civil Affairs Minister Li Peitian, Education Minister Gong Zizhi, Secretary-General Feng Gui, Security Commander Du Yuming, Deputy Commander Lu Han, Zhang Chong and others all looked at Zhuang Jihua. Although Zhuang Jihua never mentioned his strategy for governing Yunnan, they all knew that he must have a strategy, and Chongqing's development is obvious to all, so they also wanted to know what his strategy was.

After Li Liejun finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua felt a little embarrassed. Li Liejun was too anxious. He did not discuss with him in advance. His strategy of governing Yunnan was quite different from his. Some places were completely contrary to each other, but if he just rejected it like this, he was worried that Li Liejun would not be able to bear it on the face, so he hesitated.

"I made a special trip to Nanchang to meet the Chairman," Zhuang Jihua's attitude could not be hidden from Li Liejun. He said to Zhuang Jihua without any concern: "The Chairman told me that Yunnan should be included in the Southwest Development Plan. The governance should be coordinated with the Southwest Development. If you have any ideas about the Cultural Revolution, just say it. Chongqing has undergone great changes in four years, and you are also good at civil affairs."

Zhuang Jihua slowly spoke: "Donald Lie is over-reputable. You are a veteran of our party and have made great contributions to the country. I just arrived today. Should I take a day off? Let's discuss it tomorrow."

"Hey, Cultural Revolution, say whatever you say. If you have different opinions, I will naturally adopt it as long as you are right." Li Liejun knew that he must have disagreed with his strategy, so he still waved his hand disregardlessly.

Feng Gui knew that Li Liejun had made a mistake, and Chiang Kai-shek asked him to come to make him a Bodhisattva and serve as the premier for Zhuang Jihua, but he regarded himself as his master. Seeing that Zhuang Jihua was hesitant and thought he was unhappy, he quickly interrupted and said, "Duke Lie, I think the Cultural Revolution is right. You should rest first. It is not too late for us to hold a special meeting tomorrow to discuss these things."

Li Liejun laughed and slapped the sofa with a refreshing look and said, "I'm not tired at all. Secretary-General Feng, let's discuss it first and then have a meeting, so it's not easy to make mistakes."

Feng Gui had to persuade him again, but Zhuang Jihua had already figured it out at this time. He said, "Since that's the case, I'll talk about my thoughts."

When Zhuang Jihua spoke, the former Yunnan Provincial Government became interested in this opening. Zhuang Jihua's actions in Chongqing had long been spread to Yunnan. They wanted to know how true and credible the legend of Zhuang Jihua was.

"The Chairman said that Yunnan is included in the scope of Southwest development, but what is Southwest development? I'm afraid you don't know. I'll explain it first, and then everyone will know how Yunnan should develop." Zhuang Jihua said solemnly that he had to say his judgment on Sino-Japanese relations and how to use Southwest development to protect the war. His words surprised everyone here except for Du Yuming and other members of the original development team. Even Li Liejun was shocked. He did not expect that this pair of teachers and students had concealed the people from all over the country, and took great efforts to prepare for the war in Sichuan with their infamy. This made his impression of Chiang Kai-shek suddenly change, and he felt a little guilty, and felt ashamed of his previous accusations against Chiang Kai-shek.

"According to the original judgment, the Sino-Japanese War will break out within two to three years. Of course, this is just an estimate. We hope that the later the better, but we must take the most dangerous way in our actions," said Zhuang Jihua. "Chongqing has built dozens of factories, and a primary national defense industrial system is gradually forming. But to be honest, the foundation of this system is very weak and cannot withstand wind and rain. Moreover, when the war is around, it is estimated that it can only ensure the supply of half of the country's troops. It would be great if I could give me another five years."

Zhuang Jihua sighed and continued, "So Yunnan's governance strategy must be considered by war, so my opinion is to vigorously develop transportation, especially the transportation from western Yunnan to Myanmar. Once the war breaks out, the Japanese army will inevitably have the upper hand in the early stages. We may all lose all important cities, ports and transportation routes in the central eastern region, including Wuhan. That is the main route for our external contacts, Yunnan, and Yangon, Myanmar, will be our important port. But so far, we have no road to reach Myanmar. Therefore, the first place in Yunnan is to develop transportation. The first task is to build the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Yunnan Highway, and secondly, to ensure the connection between counties and counties; the second way of Yunnan's governance is to improve the operation.

Government, establishing reserves, and the important role of reserves in wars. You are all very clear, and I don’t need to explain it anymore; the third is to develop industry, especially heavy industries, steel plants, arsenals, etc. related to national defense; industry requires skilled workers, so the fourth is to develop education. Chongqing implements free compulsory education, but Yunnan cannot do so, because we don’t have so much funds, but we can lower the charging standards. For example, only book fees are charged, and the lack of education funds are supplemented by the Southwest Development Fund. Director Gong, you go down to make a budget to ensure that 80% of the children in the province go to school, how many schools need to be built, how much teachers need, and how to solve the problem of insufficient teaching staff. Director Gong, you go down to study it. Then report it to the provincial government."

Gong Zizhi nodded in a heavy mood. In fact, Yunnan's education funds are relatively sufficient. When Long Yun invited him to serve as the director of Yunnan's Education Department, he proposed a condition to hand over the taxes of Yunnan tobacco factories to the Education Department. This is the richest tax in Yunnan. However, Long Yun agreed to his conditions despite the opposition of the Finance Department. As a result, the treatment of teachers is far greater than that of government officials, and he has never defaulted on wages.

"Article 5: The War of Resistance is a long-term war, and we will inevitably bear great pressure. Therefore, we must first reduce the pressure on the people, reduce taxes across the province, exempt all agricultural taxes, and implement rent reduction and interest reduction in rural areas. Note that the reduction and interest reduction should not be implemented in ethnic minority areas for the time being. Article 6: The development of industry and commerce alone is not enough. To attract foreign capital, attract foreign capital, you must create good conditions. The first condition is commercial tax, reduce commercial tax, Chongqing is 2%. I think Yunnan also collects so much, and other unreasonable taxes and unreasonable charges will be abolished. Director Lu, after you go back, calculate, after you collect so much money, what is the government's fiscal gap, and then report it to the provincial government, the fund gap will still be transferred to the southwest development fund. Article 7: Official training, county governors at all levels and county party directors must go to Kunming for training; Article 8: Investigate Yunnan resources..."

Zhuang Jihua took out all the Yunnan construction plan he envisioned in one breath, which is an upgraded version of the Chongqing plan. This plan is much more specific than Li Liejun's ones. Everything from politics to economy, all aspects, priorities, and priorities are clear.

After he finished speaking, everyone drank a mouthful. These people all knew that Yunnan had changed. If all Zhuang Jihua's strategies were implemented, even if only 80%, Long Yun would definitely not be able to come back.

Li Liejun now understood what Chiang Kai-shek meant to discuss with Zhuang Jihua. In fact, you don’t have to make any decisions and leave everything to Zhuang Jihua. He sighed: “The younger generation is terrifying, and the younger generation is terrifying; the chairman shouldn’t let me come, you should be the chairman of the province.”

"Lie Gong's words are so strong," Zhuang Jihua said hurriedly: "Lie Gong's morality and respect are highly respected by us. It is very wise for the Chairman to choose Lie Gong to come to Yunnan."

"I am old. In the future, young people like you will need to take care of the country. I will just beat the drums for you." Li Liejun waved his hand generously, and he quickly put his position in the right place.

No one questioned Zhuang Jihua's statement that war broke out within two or three years, but Li Peitian, Director of Civil Affairs, still put forward a little opinion. He felt that it was inappropriate to implement rent and interest reduction, and believed that it could be slowed down. Yunnan had many mountains and few lands, and even if the landlords were not rich, they could be divided into steps. Each time, it would be reduced to 50% of the accounts in the first year and 40% of the second year, which could alleviate the conflicts.

Zhuang Jihua nodded the passenger. In Yunnan, he was not as powerful as the grassroots organization in Chongqing, and could only rely on the original organization to implement policies. It was not appropriate to force it too much. But when the director of the Transportation Department asked about the funds for road construction, he had just said a lot, but he did not mention the source of road construction funds.

"The construction of roads requires unified planning. Chongqing has organized several survey teams, and Kunming has also set up several. Once the route is determined, construction will start immediately. It must be completed within one year. All migrant workers will be provided by the local government. The road repair funds will be provided by the Southwest Development Team. I remind you that all funds are for special purposes and embezzlement is prohibited. All embezzlement will be shot." In Sichuan, he tolerated corruption outside Chongqing, but Yunnan is already his, so he will never tolerate it.

Finally, Zhuang Jihua reminded the people of the metropolis that the purpose of the southwest development is still confidential. Anyone who leaked it will be punished for treason, and everyone agreed with sternly.

It was very annoying that Yunnan had no grassroots organizations. Zhuang Jihua decided to transfer some party workers and cadres from Chongqing to Yunnan, and at the same time opened a cadre school in Kunming. After thinking for a long time, he decided to let Li Anding serve as the director of the provincial party department and transfer Li Anguo to serve as the head of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, and Hua Chun was replaced by Chongqing Party Affairs Investigation Section.

"Andang, your main task is to train cadres, especially grassroots cadres. I will transfer Xin Mingzhong, the education director of Chongqing Cadre School, to be your deputy. In addition, Guo Ge, formerly the National Rescue Association of Chongqing University, Lin Hairu of the Steel Factory Trade Union. They are familiar with student work and the other are familiar with trade unions. With these three people to help you, if you have any questions, the above will discuss with Guangting and others, and rely more on these three people below."

Li Anding's personality is a bit extreme and aggressive. Zhuang Jihua is a little worried about him and is worried that Du Yuming will not be able to control him, so he repeatedly reminds him.

After thinking about it, Li Anding said, "These people are probably not enough. Can I find some more people? They are all our Huangpu classmates."

Zhuang Jihua stared at him and said, "Of course. But An Ding, I remind you. Don't do it anymore. The principal agreed to let you come out this time. You got it after two desperate attempts. The principal believes in you now, but the small organization, especially the small organization with him on his back, is a big taboo. You must not touch it. Do you understand?"

Li Anding smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Cultural Revolution, I won't cause trouble for you. I know you saved my life."

"The principal doesn't want to kill you, he just acts like this. If he really wants to kill you, no one can save you." Zhuang Jihua interrupted him, and this stalk must not be left behind: "Be careful with the classmates you have found, and never have any contact with Li Jishen and the others."

"I understand." Li Anding replied.

The next day, Li Liejun held the first working meeting of the provincial government in Wuhua Mountain. Zhuang Jihua attended the meeting as a representative of Southwest Development. At this meeting, Li Liejun accepted most of Zhuang Jihua's suggestions, but rejected the rent reduction and interest reduction, believing that it is not appropriate for Yunnan to reduce rent and interest reduction for the time being, and Zhuang Jihua did not insist.

The next week, Zhuang Jihua visited various colleges and technical schools in Kunming, formed two surveying teams and an exploration team. They set out with three surveying teams and two exploration teams from Chongqing and went to western and central Yunnan.

In addition, Zhuang Jihua had another unexpected gain. Liu Yuantang quietly found him and expressed his hope that his troops could be reorganized into a guard team, but Zhuang Jihua refused. However, he suggested that Liu Yuantang form a troops in the way of the guard team, and he could help him train cadres. Liu Yuantang happily agreed.

A batch of new orders spread from Chongqing to the United States and Europe. Mr. Mei began to purchase factory equipment across the United States. Yunnan has been a major region for China's copper production since ancient times, which has eased the tension in Chongqing's industrial copper.

Zhuang Jihua began to work hard in Yunnan, and the incident in Guangdong and Guangxi was also clear. In mid-July, Guangdong Air Force Commander Huang Guangrui led all Guangdong Air Forces to Nanjing, announced their departure from Guangdong and supported the National Government. On July 13, the Military Commission of the National Government announced the revocation of Chen Jitang's position as both the president and the commander of the Guangdong Army. On July 14, Yu Hanmou sent a telegram to support the Nanjing National Government and accepted the appointment of the Nanjing government, and at the same time, Chen Ji sent a telegram to Chen Ji.

Tang asked him to leave within 24 hours; then Li Hanhun, the commander of the Third Division stationed in Chaoshan, then left with a seal and gold seal. At this point, the morale of the Guangdong army was in chaos and the situation was out of control. Chen Jitang was sad and discouraged. He announced that he would step down and leave Hong Kong on the 18th. Before leaving, he asked his direct subordinate Chen Hanguang to go west to Guangxi and hiding under Li Bai's command. However, Huang Hanguang was unwilling to enter Guangxi, so he contacted Yu Hanmou and announced that Yu Hanmou would be reorganized. At this point, Chen Jitang's power was uprooted.

As soon as Chen Jitang fell, Chiang Kai-shek began to deal with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. He ordered Gu Zhutong to lead Xue Yue, Zhou Hunyuan and other troops to advance from Guizhou to Guangxi, Yu Hanmou led his troops to attack from Leizhou Peninsula, Chen Cheng led the main force to go up from the Xijiang River, and He Jian led the Hunan Army to threaten Guilin from the Hunan-Guangxi border.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were surrounded on three sides, and the situation was extremely critical. In this case, Li Zongren held up the anti-Japanese banner high in exchange for support from the people; while quietly expelling all Japanese advisers and Japanese instructors in the army, and as many as thousands of Japanese soldiers were withdrawn from Vietnam. Subsequently, the province mobilized the entire province, and Guangxi's reserves played a huge role. Forty-four regiments were formed in just one month, and there were also 100,000 militias, with a total force of 200,000.

Bai Chongxi personally directed the main force to fight a fierce battle with the Central Army commanded by Chen Cheng outside Wuzhou City. In the end, the two sides tied. After the Guizhou faction showed its strength, Li Zongren launched another news offensive. Anti-Japanese demonstrations broke out in Guilin and Nanning for several days. Li Zongren invited a large number of reporters from Nanjing and Shanghai to visit Guangxi. Various reports from Guangxi filled the news in Nanjing, and Nanjing was at a disadvantage in public opinion.

After the Guangxi clique showed its strength, He Jian and Yu Han were still fighting. Zhang Xueliang in the northwest, Song Zheyuan in Peking, Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Han Fuqu in Shandong, and Erma in the northwest began to call for a peaceful resolution. In early August, Feng Yuxiang went to Lushan in person and proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to peacefully resolve the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident. Zhu Pei, Cheng Qian, Liu Fei and others within the Nanjing government also publicly called for peace. Huang Shao and Liu Fei kept running and mediating between the two sides. Finally, in mid-September, Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren met in Guangzhou. Li Zongren reiterated his support for the Nanjing government and support Chiang Kai-shek. Once the War of Resistance broke out, Guangxi would use its main force to participate in the War of Resistance. In return, Chiang Kai-shek announced that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had served as their positions and remained unchanged. The central and other local troops entering Guangxi withdrew from Guangxi and the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident ended.

Although the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident did not resolve Guangxi, it drove away Chen Jitang and strengthened the central government's control over Guangdong. At the same time, in the southwest, Zhuang Jihua took the opportunity to take Yunnan and basically settled the three southwestern provinces. Chiang Kai-shek won a great victory in this round of battle with domestic warlords.
Chapter completed!
