On the evening of the 26th, Zhao Zhenzhong received a telegram from Zhang Mingrui and Chen Hailan in Baode. He was very happy to learn that the war in Hexi area of Ningxia had ended. The troops began to eliminate the remaining enemies and were preparing to help the victims and rush to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans and other crops.
Of course, there are also regrets. Ningxia City Defense Commander Ma Yulin and temporary 7th Division commander Ma Xiancheng relied on familiar terrain and used authentic disguises to escape from Ningxia City, and fled into Helan Mountain with about 20 people. During the Ningxia battle, the two largest enemy leaders actually fled!
Although Zhang Mingrui and Chen Hailan have sent Luo Zhensheng to chase him, there is no news yet. Fortunately, these people threw away their horses and supplies to escape in order to escape. Zhao Zhenzhong estimated that Ma Yulin and the others escaped the pursuit. They were in the Helan Mountains and had no supplies, so it was not easy to survive. Even if it was summer now, there was no shortage of food in the mountains, and this group of people would not have enough time to cross Helan Mountain without more than half a month, let alone go to Lanzhou to inform Ma Hongbin. Let’s take a step back and even if they finally arrived in Lanzhou to report the news, they would have enough time to prepare, and the major matters have been determined by then.
After putting down the telegram, Zhao Zhenzhong came outside the house, shaking his palm-leaf fan while thinking.
Taking over Ningxia's strategy of attacking and retreating and defending is a sign that after he seized Longdong, he has taken a new level in the northwest development. This is also the second important step in the development of the second base. After that, with Longdong and Ningxia as a support, the northwest base not only has a large space for maneuvering, but also has become more stable. In this way, I and I will be much more at ease in the arrangement of the subsequent third, fourth, fifth and other subsequent steps. The situation in the northwest will begin to change from then on, no longer the trajectory that was previously in history, or even the situation in the entire north, and even the future situation in China will change as a result.
Looking at the stars that looked particularly bright in the clear night sky of this era, Zhao Zhenzhong thought about it and took advantage of the fact that all forces had not paid too much attention to the northwest and the original historical trajectory of the northwest had not changed much, and seize the opportunity to make arrangements to prepare for the third step.
After making a decision in his heart, Zhao Zhenzhong returned to the house and drafted telegrams to the departments of Longdong and Ningxia.
Zhang, Yang, Liu, Xu, Yu, Wang's troops:
I received the previous telegram and learned that the Ningxia Battle had ended successfully. I was very happy and very comforted!
During this battle, our troops cleared the Ningxia enemy army in two days and one night, achieved the purpose of the battle, and allowed the second base to grow and grow. Here, all participating troops and individuals with outstanding performance were commended.
It should be noted that in all aspects, the Ningxia enemy is not an opponent of our army. Each unit should regard this Ningxia battle as a practical training and a warm-up for a larger-scale battle. Therefore, during the post-war rest, each unit should promptly summarize experiences and lessons, be cautious in arrogance and impetuosity, and make preparations for launching a larger-scale battle and achieving greater victory.
As for the escape of the enemy leader, according to the report of the Hexi Command, it has little impact on our future actions, so your headquarters does not have to worry too much; but the relevant lessons should be learned so as not to repeat them in the future.
All construction projects in Longdong have been underway for two months, and the construction in Ningxia has not yet begun. According to the special situation in the northwest, each department should pay attention to the following matters in its relevant work:
1. Check the population and provide relief to the disaster-stricken people
The northwest provinces have suffered many years of disasters, coupled with heavy taxes, chaos and bandits, and the people have suffered a lot. Now, the civil war in my base area is a little settled, and we should immediately send troops to assist government staff to investigate the population, provide relief to the victims, and improve military-civilian relations. At the same time, we will eliminate hidden elements of all parties to stabilize the territory and purify the atmosphere;
2. Eliminate the riots and bandits
Rebellious soldiers and bandits are one of the public nuisances in the northwest provinces. If this problem is not eliminated, people's lives and lives cannot be guaranteed, and all construction and development cannot be discussed. Therefore, all departments should pay attention to the elimination of rebellious soldiers and bandits, and send effective troops to eliminate all rebellious soldiers and bandits in the base area to create a stable environment for subsequent construction and development.
3. Build water conservancy and develop production
The two places in Longdong and Ningxia have a high terrain and dry climate. The farming water basically depends on rivers and ditches to dig and irrigate. Now the rivers and ditches in the two places have been disrepaired for a long time, with high silt outside the canal beds, incomplete canal shores, and water volume is lost, which is unbearable. Our department should organize people to use prisoners to work hard and develop water conservancy during the slack season to facilitate the development of agricultural production.
In addition, mineral deposits in various areas of the country should be investigated to prepare for future development.
4. Land reform
During the time of Yimeng, all ministries participated in land reform. Now, the northwest can refer to the original regulations and deal with it as appropriate. However, it should be noted that the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and people without land can increase the land as appropriate when allocating land, and the upper limit of land retained by enlightened gentry can also be increased as appropriate, but the upper limit of land retained per population shall not exceed 30 mu. More land unearthed is either publicly owned by the village collective or publicly owned by the new government, and the relevant parties shall compensate according to the usual price and pay it within 5-10 years.
For land allocation matters, each department may allocate the crops together with the land after rushing to plant crops and checking the land to provide each household with food for life saving after autumn.
The policies of landlords, bullies, local tyrants and evil gentry remain unchanged.
5. Practice ban on smoking, prostitution, foot binding
The harm of opium is well known. In addition to natural disasters, local authorities ordered people to plant opium to seek taxes. If they do not collect food, they cannot fill their stomachs. People's drug users' families are exhausted and their wealth is lost. In the end, bandits are breeding. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to plant, sell, and take drugs in the base area. If there are any violations, they will be sent to labor camps and will be used as labor for different years depending on the severity of the circumstances.
Those who work as prostitutes will seek profits from others or their own bodies, which will ruin the atmosphere. In this regard, the base area should strictly prohibit them. Relevant personnel, men will be instigated to labor camps; women will be disciplined by female staff of our government to correct them.
It is an indisputable fact that foot binding persecutes women's health. For this, the base area should also strictly prohibit it. If a woman is forced to bind her feet, she will be severely punished.
6. Government work
The suffering of the people in the northwest and the exploitation of harsh taxes is rare in the world. Even if the former government staff are not exploited, they are also accomplices of tigers. If such personnel are still retained, it is not conducive to the harmonious relationship between our department and the people. Therefore, the original staff of the county and township governments in the base area will be dismissed, and all work will be taken over by our department staff.
If there is indeed integrity, integrity, outstanding people's reputation, and extraordinary talents, we can be employed at the discretion of our department.
7. Development of education
Ten years of trees and a hundred years of cultivation, the issue of education is the fundamental to future development and growth. In order to clarify the uneven teaching staff in the education area in our base area, all the original schools will be taken over by our department staff.
After verification, those who have confirmed that their original faculty have no negative tendencies can be re-employed; those who have extreme or conservative and stubborn ideas will be cleared out to avoid future troubles.
Eight, ethnic relations
In the northwest provinces, ethnic groups are mixed, and handling ethnic relations is a major problem facing our ministry. The traditional habits of Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan and other tribes should be respected, but they must not be accommodated. If any violation of the clear regulations of our ministry, the same punishment should be given in accordance with the situation of the Han tribe.
Nine, Force Construction
In addition to ensuring military training and daily defense, each department should organize its forces to establish several lines of defense.
A, in the northwest of Ningxia River, abandoning the Sandaohe area, which originally belonged to Ningxia and bordered by Suiyuan, is not conducive to our defense; our northern Ningxia defense line shrinks to the Wulanmutou area in order to form a complete defense line with the Chazishan area on the east bank of the Yellow River;
B. The northeast of Ningxia River borders Shaanxi and Suiyuan should be accelerated to build a defense line that is located on the north side of the Great Wall to occupy Suiyuan and the east of Lianhuan County to resist northern Shaanxi;
C. Several passages across Helan Mountain in central Ningxia must be strictly guarded to avoid giving external enemies an opportunity to take advantage of them;
Ding, the defense line at the border between Longdong and Shaanxi remains unchanged, and it is still bounded by Ziwuling, the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, Jinghe and other places;
Wu, Ningxia Hedong, southwestern Hexi borders, and southeastern Longyang borders can only strengthen defenses, because our defense line will be advanced outward in the future, and there is no need to build permanent fortifications in these places;
He was specially appointed Yang Tianming's tribe in Hedong, and according to the report on July 18, he was ready to conquer Jingyuan;
Geng, in the future period, the first, second, special, teaching and artillery will be prepared to fight against foreign wars; the third, third, defending Longdong and fighting against Shaanxi;
Ten, Captive Problem
Prisoners captured by each ministries are detained and then dealt with after reviewing their previous actions in the local area; other subordinates shall be treated according to different circumstances after being screened by special lunarity.
The above matters are important issues facing our base area construction in the future period, and all departments must pay close attention to them. In addition, if there are new situations, all departments can report them in a timely manner, and all departments should also strengthen communication.
...
Zhao Zhenzhong's telegram was full of ease, and he made requirements and explanations to the various departments for the problems he could think of for a while, pointing out the way for the construction of the northwest base in the next period of time.
Zhao Zhenzhong knew that what he thought would definitely touch the interests of many people in Longdong and Ningxia, but if he did not take advantage of this undecided opportunity to determine the basis of future order, then when it develops in the future, all kinds of people with ulterior motives will definitely be more difficult to deal with. Instead, it would be better to cut the mess quickly and clean it up.
After receiving the telegram from Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhang Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but punch a tree beside him and cursed: "Those two guys are simply rats. Not only did they escape from the cave, they walked into Helan Mountain quickly. Luo Zhensheng and the others have not yet come back."
"Forget it, Mingrui, we have never encountered such a situation before. Who knew that they had a tunnel to escape in advance? Pay more attention in the future." Chen Zhiyuan comforted.
"I'm a little unwilling to give up." Zhang Mingrui sighed, "Hailan and I fought desperately, but when we were about to stop, the two big leaders of the enemy escaped. I still ran a little less, but Hailan and the others fought for thousands of miles within 8 days, but they got such a result."
"The purpose of our battle has been achieved, and we have trained our team. Even if we run away from the enemy's two big heads, it's nothing." Chen Hailan, who seemed a little tired, also advised, "Mr. What's right, these two basically have no big impact on our subsequent actions. Let's take good care of all the things at present and prepare for the battle that the gentleman said later."
"That's right, depending on what Mr. said in the construction of the defense line, we may develop southward in the future. We need to prepare in advance. This time we ran two brigade commanders of the temporary 7th Division. Next time we will catch a division commander and come back to make up for it." Chen Zhiyuan said.
"Okay, let's hurry up." Zhang Mingrui nodded in agreement.
At the same time, after receiving the telegram, Yang Tianming, Liu Jifeng, Xu Chaoyuan and others were also excited about the big moves behind them.
