Section 2 Reconstruction (3)

Zhuang Jihua slowly walked back to the table, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and then slowly walked behind Guan Linzheng and patted his shoulder: "Yudong, do you still remember the eastern and northern expeditions that year, the people won the grain scene, and we could know almost immediately about all the enemy's mobilizations. Why? Because the people knew that we were fighting for them and sacrificing for them, because we did not commit any crimes... Why do we insist on the War of Resistance today? Because only by insisting on the War of Resistance can we save the country, and the purpose of saving the country is to prevent the people from being enslaved by the Japanese and live a better life. Otherwise, what is the significance of our War of Resistance?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and Tang Enbo's expression did not move at all, but he couldn't help but complain. He spoke better than the singing. Who can't sing in a high-profile manner? It's not that I don't want to save it, but that I can't save it.

"All work now should focus on relieving hungry people. The training time of the troops can be appropriately reduced. Explain the truth to the soldiers. Political workers should play a role and explain the purpose of this action clearly." Zhuang Jihua said.

Guan Linzheng looked up and asked, "What do you want us to do in the Cultural Revolution? Just say something good."

I'm afraid that Lin Zheng dares to call Zhuang Jihua like this. Tang Enbo clearly felt a little delicious. His 20th Army is the direct line of the Central Army, and several major generals are graduates of the First Class of Huangpu. Although they can't see anything at ordinary times, their role will be revealed at the critical moment. Before he could speak, Guan Linzheng had already stated that he had decided to accept Zhuang Jihua's arrangement.

"The army should take action immediately, divide the pieces and take the whole lot. Each of your army is divided into several townships. If there are any extra tents, take some tents to let the refugees live in the tent first and set up a few porridge sheds to serve porridge." Zhuang Jihua said this, Guan Linzheng and Zhang Zizhong had to agree almost at the same time, but Zhuang Jihua didn't wait for them to speak, and the tone changed: "This is just one thing, and in addition, it is to transfer some people to help hungry people farm and repair houses. The refugees will be allowed to live in the new home within one month. Commander Tang, Commander Guan and Commander Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Zizhong stood up, and said loudly, "Please rest assured, commander, but what about other troops? My 59th Army guarantees to complete the mission."

Zhang Zizhong had long been unable to understand, Tang Enbo. He was a little resistant and did not want to do it. Although Guan Linzheng agreed, he was a little reluctant, so he must first stand up and express his opinion and help Zhuang Jihua force the two of them. This is not only because Zhang Zizhong thought this was right, but also because he wanted to repay Zhuang Jihua's care for the 59th Army. After the last Xuzhou War, the 59th Army expanded to 50,000 people, of which the 38th Division was reorganized into a Class A Division, equipped with some Chongqing-making weapons. After the battle, the 59th Army was the first to supplement it. The 38th Division was replaced with Chongqing-making weapons. In addition, Zhuang Jihua was still applying for the establishment of a Class A Brigade for him, which was also equipped with Chongqing-making weapons. Zhuang Jihua waved his pen and listed the 59th Army as the Central Army's equal treatment army, and the officers and soldiers' pay was equivalent to the Central Army. What's more important is that Zhuang Jihua did not let Zhang Zizhong speak up at all in these matters.

Of course, there were many troops who made meritorious contributions in the fifth theater. The Second Army Sun Lianzhong's troops made great contributions, defending Cao County, which supported the entire battle situation. In addition, Sun Tongxuan's troops in the Third Army made great contributions, including Pang Bingxun's 40th Army and Tang Enbo's 2nd Army. In order to seek merit after the war, Zhuang Jihua was ranked first. Only Qiu Qingquan's rapid column was ranked first, and even the 49th Army could only stay on second. Of course, the first-class Liao Lei's 21st Army and the 92nd Army on the southern front were also ranked first.

This result made Xue Yue very dissatisfied. All the Central Army he commanded were on the third level and ran to Shangqiu to find Zhuang Jihua, but Zhuang Jihua closed the door and scolded him.

Xue Yue was a little arrogant in others, including in front of Bai Chongxi, but in front of Zhuang Jihua, Xu Zuyi was a little worried, but Xue Yue's performance surprised him. He actually left honestly and obediently, and never made trouble again. Song Xilian, Hu Zongnan, Feng Shengfa and other disciples were even more afraid to speak out, and each of them dared to say anything. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Zuyi also believed that Zhuang Jihua's evaluation was basically correct. If he was dissatisfied, he was probably only Deng Xihou and Lu Han were qualified to yell. However, he did not attribute the reason to this, but to Zhuang Jihua's origin.

Zhang Zizhong's statement was not easy to refuse, and the two stood up to express their willingness to obey, but after they sat down, Zhuang Jihua became cold again: "In addition, I want to reiterate that the army is here to help the people, not to disturb the people. Military discipline is particularly important. The war zone has organized a military police force, and you at all levels should also organize military police force to monitor disturbing the people. The GCD troops can do not take the masses one by one, and our troops must do this. Any disturbances to the people, whether it is an officer or a soldier, should be dealt with seriously."

When Zhuang Jihua said this, Tang Enbo's face felt hot. Guan Lin's army was fine, but the military disciplines of other troops of the 20th Legion were relatively poor. Some time ago, the war zone sent military police teams in Yucheng and Dangshan to catch most of the officers and soldiers who violated the discipline were from the 20th Legion. The 13th Army and the 85th Army reported to Zhuang Jihua, which made Zhuang Jihua so angry that he sent three telegrams to Tang Enbo in a row, strictly ordering Tang Enbo to purify the military discipline. Now that he mentioned this matter again, Tang Enbo felt very uncomfortable.

Tang Enbo looked unhappy, but he still stood up and shouted: "Please rest assured, commander, you must rectify military disciplines with low duties and never disturb the people."

He had to do this. In fact, Guan Linzheng and Wang Zhonglian were very clear that Zhuang Jihua would never tolerate those behaviors. However, Guan Linzheng knew more about Zhuang Jihua and had stricter constraints on the troops, so he had fewer violations of military discipline. Wang Zhonglian's troops were usually looser and he was temporarily cramming, but in the end, many soldiers were still in the hands of the military police.

Zhuang Jihua nodded with satisfaction and dealt with the army. He turned his attention to the county government and the party department: "The job of the county government is to distribute disaster relief grain, arrange production, and do a good job in public security. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to take the opportunity to seize the property of the people. The party department sets up branches in various townships and villages, builds branches in villages, supervises the distribution of relief materials, and organizes people to produce and save production. In addition, this year's taxes are exempted, and rent reductions are forced. The land rent shall not be higher than 375% and the annual interest shall not be higher than 10."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Cao Xinping, Su Chenling and Che Jun looked at each other. They did not expect that Zhuang Jihua would actually propose to reduce rent and interest at this time. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Zhuang Jihua said to Yu Xintao and Jia Zhongxian again: "Your mission is probably even heavier. Mr. Jia, there must be insufficient supplies. I can only ask you to contact the support staff of Wuhan, Zhengzhou and other places, and ask them to mobilize the people in the rear to donate money and materials. One is not too small, and a hundred is not too many. Please," Zhuang Jihua said as he bowed deeply from Jia Zhongxian. Jia Zhongxian quickly stood up, tears flowing down, and bowed deeply: "I dare not take it. It should be that I thank the general. To be able to win the general is the blessing of the million hungry people in eastern Henan, and it is the blessing of my China's country will not perish! It will not perish! Thank you! Thank you!"

Jia Zhongxian finally burst into tears. Zhuang Jihua stepped forward and patted his shoulder gently: "You are wrong. It was me, Zhuang Jihua, who was unable to resist the Japanese and made the people of eastern Henan suffer such a big mistake!"

Zhuang Jihua only admitted that he had made mistakes and that he should not believe Bai Chongxi's plan. Otherwise, according to his plan, he would likely block the Japanese army in the Yimeng Mountains, and Tani Shouo could not escape.

"President Jia, I still have something to help you," he said, looking at Cao Xinping and Che Jun, slowing down his speech: "Although I am an official, I trust the most, so I want to ask the fan club to participate in the supervision of the distribution of disaster relief materials. I said it all the way. This is the life-saving food for millions of refugees in eastern Henan. Whoever wants to embezzle a grain of rice and execute it on the spot without saying a word. No one should come to plead for mercy at that time."

This made Cao Xinping feel a little embarrassed. Seeing that his face was a little embarrassed, Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "Commissioner Cao, I don't believe you. I have asked about your official voice. The people's evaluation of you is pretty good, but your weakness is weakness and some indulgence against your subordinates. The habit in the officialdom is that you are good and I am good to everyone. It's just that I forgot whether the people are good or not. In the end, I lost the country. All the dynasties have been like this. Commissioner Cao, you have to show some rigidity. Don't be afraid of something happening. I'm behind you."

"Yes, Commander Zhuang blamed him." Cao Xinping was a little frightened. He didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua had actually learned about him, but he was not weak, but he had no choice. The chairman of Henan Province was Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi loved money and worked from the top and the bottom. Henan's corruption can be said to be the top in the country. What can he do?

But Che Jun and Su Chenling had no expression on their faces. They thought to themselves, Zhuang Jihua is just in charge of the army, and they are too polite to the party and government. They even said that they can't trust the officials. When you leave, what should you do when you leave is not our final say.

"Xintao," Yu Xintao was transferred from the Southwest Development Team. Zhuang Jihua's tone was a little intimate: "Your movement committee is responsible for organizing the villagers. This time the villagers suffered a lot of losses. They organized production teams, militia teams, women's teams, and developed the Three Youth League, just like we did in Chongqing."

"Yes, I understand." Yu Xintao did not stand up, but tilted his body and followed Zhuang Jihua's figure: "However, if I want this, I will be short of staff. Can I transfer people from the back?"

"No," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said, "Now there are people everywhere, I don't have any extra people to give you,"

Their conversation made Che Jun Su Chenling, who was next to him, was so angry that he was short of manpower. There were people everywhere, except from Chongqing, who were not the others?

"Do you still remember how we implemented rent reduction in Chongqing? Just follow that method, go down and draft a work plan and leave it to me." Speaking of this, he seemed to remember it, turned his head and said to Cao Xinping: "Teacher Cao, you also need to draft a plan."

"I understand." Yu Xintao was very happy, but Cao Xinping was stunned: "Commander Zhuang, should you report this matter to Chairman Liu?"
