51 several winds and rain 2
Li Xiang said vigorously. The cigarettes burned one by one, and Feng Xiaoyu rudely brought the dots one after another, and his nerves were very excited. The smoke in the room was shrouded, and the smoke spewing from the window was similar to the smoke window. Tang Yuewan couldn't stand it for a long time and ran downstairs to chat with several female clericals.
Li wanted to swallow the clouds and be in high spirits. "The promotion of duty-free and rent reduction is the key."
"The People's Daily will definitely cooperate to find examples and interview the families who benefit. I will also send progressive students to give speeches on the street. In the newspaper and giving a speech, this is the old way the revolutionaries have been taking. Feng Xiaoyu is too familiar with it. When Feng Xiaoqi spoke, the smoke in his mouth also spewed out.
"This is a necessary means of publicity in the city, but it doesn't work in the countryside. The new "Tax Law" is beneficial to industry and commerce, and the propaganda position is mainly in cities and towns, while tax exemption and rent reduction mainly benefit farmers, and the main propaganda position is in rural areas.
Feng Xiaoqi spit out two mouthfuls of thick smoke and frowned. However, the only territory we actually have now is the two towns of Hankou and Hanyang. It's enough to do a good job in urban publicity. Oh, does the marshal want to take advantage of this great victory to expand to the rural areas around the two towns?
Feng Xiaoqi is not specialized in military affairs. He is not clear about the army. The key is that Li wants to divide the military and politics very clearly, and he doesn't like the military and political factions to interfere with each other. It's just that during war, military action is often accompanied by political action, and military and politics will inevitably intersect, just like now.
Li Xiping really played a very beautiful battle last night. Li Xiang now, as long as he hears people talk about it, he is comfortable all over and can't help leaning on the sofa proudly and spitting out a smoke ring. Our revolutionary army has won a series of victories, and the People's Daily is also reporting it. I even made a bold statement to the whole country in the People's Daily, raising 100,000 troops in two ways, attacking Henan to the north to take Beijing, and attacking Anhui to the east to take Nanjing. Of course, this is bragging, but it is also a long-term goal, which cannot be achieved in the short term. My real purpose is to make the admiral of Henan and the admiral of Anhui suspicious and dare not come to Hubei to mess around. As long as they destroy Zhang Xiyuan's department, who is now staying in Xiaogan, they will no longer feel that I am bragging.
Li wants to reveal some recent military strategies to Feng Xiaozhen, which is also conducive to Feng Xiaozhen's political work. With the power of Lien War, the revolutionary army will take over the local government in Hubei as soon as possible. You will be upset by these personnel. Of course, there will be many local forces that are unwilling to revolutionize. Unlike the Qing Dynasty, they will directly use the army to resist the revolutionary army. They use soft knives that kill people without blood. If you want to suppress the hidden resistance of local forces against the revolutionary army, these brain-wracking and brain-killing jobs will be left to you. Comrade Xiao Jian, only you can be competent for this difficult and glorious revolutionary task.
Feng Xiaoqi scraped several matches before lighting the cigarette. Li Xiang's praise, he really dares not bear it. The task that can be praised by Li Xiang is absolutely worthy of the word "difficult" and will only be extremely difficult. In fact, Li wanted to reduce taxes and rents in order to obtain the hearts of the people of Hubei, he also tried his best to safeguard the interests of the old bureaucrats and big landlords, and formed a joint camp for the anti-Qing and anti-imperialist. But while farmers benefit, it is inevitable that they also touch the interests of many old bureaucrats and big landlords, and their resistance is inevitable. After the promulgation of tax-free rent reduction, even if I want to combine vertically and horizontally and disintegrate it, I can't find a vertically and horizontal object. This rent reduction is similar to the life of the landlord.
Li Xiang even sneered, and the Qing army was driven away. The landlords also accepted his shuffle, which was not up to them. If the landlord really wants to die, I will fulfill him. How to deter these landlords without fighting a few local tyrants? The revolutionary army supported the peasants and organized the peasants to fight against these big landlords and old bureaucrats who refused to cooperate. You send people to every rural area of the Revolutionary Army to publicize tax-free rent reduction, set up farmers' associations, tax-free and rent-reduction committees, tenant congresses, and activist training classes.
Feng Xiaoqi smoked two puffs of cigarettes excitedly. This time, the rural areas of Hubei are really going to turn upside down. However, you can't push the landlord too hard, so that they all look like the Manqing or the one in Wuchang City. It's not good.
Li Xiang has many enemies before and after him, but after tax-free and rent reduction, he has received more help. From the perspective of long-term interests, it is worth it. I exempted them from taxes, and they actually didn't suffer any losses. We mobilize the masses to be tough on them, scare them, and you send some more speakable people to persuade them. If only by reducing rents and interest rates can we increase production, and the payment of rent and interest can be guaranteed.
"The key is that the candidate to go to the countryside for publicity is to be able to get close to the farmers and fool the landlords. I have a group of progressive students in my hand, who choose some children of farmers. These people work at the grass-roots level in the countryside at an extraordinary time. It is not easy for the children of farmers to study, they study hard, and their academic performance is the top people in the school. These students from poor families, excellent character and learning, and ideological progress are also mostly funded by the World Association, and many of them are already members of the Party. Feng Xiaoyu believes that most of them will not refuse the call for revolution.
Li wanted to shake the smoke in his hand and said lightly, "We can't completely exclude non-farmer's children by the ability of birth. It is very hard work to be sent to the countryside. You must take absolute voluntariness as the principle. Otherwise, if you don't do good things, you will only do bad things. Now it is only the experimental stage. It is mainly to summarize the lessons learned and find good methods, which can increase the intensity of learning and promotion. It's up to you how to handle it.
Li Xiang knows a lot about the situation of poor students funded by the World Association. It's just that Li Xiang has seen too much in modern times. After jumping out of the farm, he did not want to go back to the countryside to contribute to the construction of his hometown. Li wanted to know that he should not doubt their beliefs in this era, but he couldn't help emphasizing the principle of voluntariness over and over again.
The recent task has been completed to Feng Xiaoqi. When Feng Xiaoqi went downstairs, his footsteps were light, and the excitement of being ignited by nicotine was on his strength. It is estimated that it will not subside for a while.
The whole room was surrounded by smoke, and Li thought that he couldn't open his eyes. He pushed all the windows, and the dry autumn wind stroked his face. The sun was gentle, and his nerves were a little excited.
After entering the room, I can still smell the strong smell of smoke. Seeing that Li Xiang was blowing in front of the window, he went straight to the window and shouted in a low voice, "Marshal?"
"Are you ready?" Li asked without looking back.
"It's ready to go." Zeng Gao got up in the morning and gathered the army to prepare for departure. Li Xiping suffered heavy casualties last night. He must have returned to Hankou for recuperation. According to the original strategic plan, the removal of the remnants of the Qing army in Hubei fell on Zeng Gao's head for the time being.
Therefore, Li wanted to order Li Xiping to stay in Hankou, supplement the soldiers, and start recruiting again. He also sent people to major inns in Hankou to lobby students and soldiers from other provincial military schools to return home to join the revolutionary army, and even sent people to Wuchang City to dig for the wall. The Beiyang Army has gone south. Li Xiang really doesn't have time to train the army and open a military academy. While recruiting, Li Xiang has tried his best to improve the quality of the recruits.
At the same time, Li Xiang and Zeng Gaozheng are calculating and want to swallow the mixed association of Zhang Xiyuan from Henan, which is now stopped in Xiaogan.
In Xiaogan, at ten minutes yesterday evening, Henan Zhang Xiyuan Mixed Association almost entered the city at the same time as Hubei Admiral Zhang Biao. At the gate of the county government, Zhang Xiyuan met Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao and his party are gray-headed, their clothes are tattered, and they look as depressed as they are in the sunset. Zhang Xiyuan's own soldiers looked at it and directly drove Zhang Biao and others away as beggars.
A personal soldier pushed Zhang Biao one by one. Zhang Biao was born in martial arts. Now he is depressed, but this kung fu has not regressed at all. The feet on the ground are as motionless as a mountain. Zhang Xiyuan's own soldiers pushed two times in a row, but he couldn't push them. He immediately realized that something was wrong. At the same time, his legs bounced and took a step back.
A few soldiers can pull out a long knife at the same time and surround Zhang Biao. Someone roared, "What a bold beggar, dare to hit Lord Zhang Weiyi."
The soldiers behind Zhang Biao saw the situation and immediately surrounded Zhang Biao in the middle. Zhang Biao stood with his hands on his face without fear. This temperament can't be disguised by beggars.
Zhang Biao glanced at Zhang Xiyuan's own soldiers, and finally fell on Zhang Xiyuan. I am Zhang Biao, the admiral of Hubei Province. Is the Lord Zhang in front of him Zhang Xiyuan and Zhang Xietong?
The corners of Zhang Xiyuan's mouth were crooked, and a smile came out of his nose. Can you have a letter?"
Zhang Xiyuan had never seen Zhang Biao, and Zhang Biao only cared about running away. The official seal was not brought on his body. He came out of the tattered official robe he was wearing, and he couldn't get any evidence.
Seeing that Zhang Biao was silent, Zhang Xiyuan slowly expanded with a smile and waved his hand. Take it down! Zhang Biao has already been dismissed by the court. You ignorant revolutionary party should still pretend to be him and want to approach the official, and the driver will assassinate. Today, I have been recognized by this official, and you can't think of a way to live. Be obedient and take it and leave you a whole corpse.
Zhang Biao's own soldiers wanted to resist, but Zhang Biao immediately stopped him. Now he took action, and it was obvious that he was at a loss. After all, Xiaogan used to be Zhang Biao's territory, and there are still many people who know him, but he has been dismissed from the court. These people deliberately make things difficult for him. After being tied into the county government office, the county official recognized him and loosened him.
Zhang Biao is now guilty, and he was tied up for nothing. Will Zhang Xiyuan apologize to him? Zhang Biao also knew himself and didn't dare to care about it anymore. As soon as he was untied, he immediately hung up his smiling face and begged Zhang Xiyuan to send troops and reinforce the three bridges. Li wants this man, he is warlike and murderous, and his subordinates are also savage. The flag people around Hemen in Wuchang City were almost slaughtered by him. After this guy attacked Wuchang, he immediately sent troops to Hankou and will definitely attack Sandao Bridge tonight. Now the remnants of Sandaoqiao certainly can't resist the savage and murderous bandits. Please ask Lord Zhang to send troops quickly and reinforce Sandaoqiao.
Zhang Xiyuan was also greedy to recover the meritorious deeds of Hankou, but he was scared again by Zhang Biao's urging. Zhang Biao is Zhang Zhidong's favorite general, but he is a famous general in Daqing. Seeing that he was defeated so miserably, he was a little hesitant. When he heard him talk about the ferocity of the bandit party, he lost the excitement of the beginning. In the past two years, the chaos in Henan has been killed by some scholars and mud legs. It is as easy as dealing with native chickens and dogs, and there have been few real sword fights.
Zhang Xiyuan's last eyeballs turned twice on Zhang Biao's depressed body. He still looked at the wind direction before making a decision. He yawned and said, "Brothers have been driving all day, and they are tired. They always have to refresh themselves to kill the enemy. Let's talk about this matter from a long-term perspective tomorrow.
Zhang Xiyuan yawned and left, leaving Zhang Biao alone in the signing room.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Zhang Biao received a letter from a subordinate of Zhang Xu, who was left behind on the three bridges. The three bridges were lost and Zhang Xu committed suicide.
Zhang Biao left a few tears for his cousin and went to Zhang Xiyuan to discuss it with a letter. Zhang Xiyuan lived in the post station. Zhang Biao did not even want to waste time leading the horse. He directly used a hundred meters of black hairy legs and ran to the post station. He found Zhang Xiyuan, but was stopped at the door by his own soldiers until the sun. Zhang Biao stood dizzy and couldn't even support his black hairy legs. Zhang Xiyuan finally got up.
"Your Excellency, please send troops as soon as possible to take back the three bridges." Zhang Biao accompanied him carefully, but he couldn't wait to strangle Zhang Xiyuan.
Zhang Xiyuan took the military newspaper written on the straw paper he didn't know where he found, and there was a drum in his heart. The banditry was really ferocious and belligerent. The tragedy of the First World War last night was written on the papyrus. Is this time to enter? Or should I return it?
When Zhang Xiyuan hesitated, when he heard Zhang Biao urging him, he immediately became very irritable. Zhang Biao, you are not the admiral of Hubei now. Do I send troops? When will the army be sent? It's not something you can ask. Even if you are still the admiral of Hubei, I, Zhang Xiyuan, am not under your jurisdiction.
Zhang Biao's face turned pale. Looking at Zhang Xiyuan's expression, his mind could also guess a general idea. Zhang Biao finally smiled gloomyly, "If Lord Zhang doesn't dare to send troops, it's better to retire as soon as possible."
