Chapter 144
It won Shandong and Chahar in a row.
He also beat up the national army by the way.
The number of prisoners alone exceeded 40,000.
He even captured Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong, two generals.
It was a bonus.
However, the battle has already been fought, but there are more things waiting for Zhang Xueming.
To this end, he held a one-day government work conference and a military conference.
Shandong is a good place.
Located in the Yellow River Basin, the terrain is flat and the arable area is actively extensive.
Even in later generations, it was a major grain-growing province.
Compared to the annual ripening of the northeast.
Shandong can do two crops a year.
If all of them were planted with super rice seeds.
In terms of grain production, it may not be less than that of the three northeastern provinces.
For government work.
The first is to establish a local government under the framework of the Northeast.
Land reform was then carried out according to the model of the northeast.
This is the magic weapon in Zhang Xueming's hands to capture the people's desire, the kind that is unsatisfactory.
Therefore, the land reform work must be followed quickly.
Strive to complete the redistribution of land before the arrival of summer planting.
There is also the mineral resources aspect.
Shandong is also quite good.
Especially in terms of gold mines, reserves have reached the first place in the country.
The total reserves are almost 3,000 tons.
3,000 tons of gold, what a concept.
Although there are still many places that have not been discovered.
But as long as it is on this land, then you can't run away.
This is also a shot in the arm for the monetary policy of the Northeast.
After all, the current Fengyuan still implements the gold standard, and does not implement a credit currency system.
If you want to implement a credit currency, you must at least wait for unification.
In addition, the reserves of oil are also very good.
Zhang Xueming vaguely remembers that the oil reserves in Dongying alone in Shandong alone are more than 5 billion tons.
The total oil reserves of the entire Shandong province exceed 6 billion tons.
With the oil fields of the northeast, plus the oil fields of Shandong.
At least Zhang Xueming does not have to worry about the future mechanized army will be without oil.
Fell into the same predicament as the German army lacked fuel.
There are other kinds of mineral deposits, which are also in the forefront of the country, and the types are relatively rich.
Especially coal mines.
Therefore, the exploration of various resources also needs to be arranged quickly.
The rapid development of industry in Northeast China is inseparable from various mineral resources.
Since it has so many mineral resources.
It is also very suitable for industrial development.
Abundant resources are one of them, which can save transportation costs.
Coastal is the second, water and land transportation is developed, industrial products can be quickly transported.
Population is the third one.
The total population of Shandong Province is currently 37 million.
It occupies more than one floor of the country's population.
727, and now the total population of the entire four northeastern provinces is so much.
Of course, this does not include the population of Pingjin and parts of Hebei.
These 37 million people joined.
It directly solves the problem of insufficient population for industrial development.
However, despite the large population, the burden is also greater.
Especially food.
Fortunately, the spring plowing of the four northeastern provinces has been completed.
Just wait for the autumn harvest to finish in October.
Then the food problem will be greatly alleviated.
It is impossible to leave the people hungry to develop industry.
At present, the main source of food in the northeast still relies on imports.
For example, eagle sauce is the main target of food imports.
Zhang Xueming spent a lot of foreign exchange for these grains.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of foreign exchange in the northeast now.
Penicillin and stockings bring a large amount of foreign exchange to Nohoku every month.
Taking Shandong is of great help to the strength of the northeast.
In the future, the northeast will also be laid out as a province with light and heavy industries.
Vigorously develop light and heavy industries.
Since it is necessary to develop industry, it is natural to give priority to the development of transportation and education.
Railways and highways will be the first to be rolled out in Shandong.
Education is basically the same as in the northeast.
Here again a huge expense.
But this expense is nothing compared to the harvest.
Compared with Shandong Province, Chahar Province is much worse.
However, all kinds of related work will also be arranged quickly.
In the coming period, the strategic position of Chahar Province will still be relatively important.
Words for heavy troops here.
Going north could threaten Monghara under the control of polar bears.
Here Zhang Xueming will definitely take it back.
Not now, though.
To the west, it can threaten Suiyuan, and to the south, it can directly attack Taiyuan, Shanxi.
These two places are also Zhang's next goals.
But we have to wait to digest Chahar and Shandong.
He doesn't plan to expand any sooner than any soon.
Once the autumn harvest in the northeast is completed.
It was the beginning of the Northeast Army sweeping the Great Northwest.
By the end of next year, we will strive to expand our sphere of influence to the southwest.
Complete the reunification of the whole country by 35 years.
Then it's time to prepare for World War II.
This is what was discussed at the Government Work Conference.
However, with Zhang Zuoxiang, these things are arranged quite well.
Zhang Xueming is still very satisfied with this.
In terms of ability, he can be an auxiliary commander of the Northeast Army and has a high reputation.
There must be two brushes.
At least in these aspects, Zhang Xueming does not need to be troubled.
Zhang Xueming's role is to watch the money bag.
At the same time, make decisions on big events.
After all, these things are the government's job.
Zhang Xueming will not interfere too much.
Otherwise, it is still easy to mess up.
And there are more issues discussed at military meetings.
For example, how to deal with the prisoners of the 29th Army, the Lu Army and the Nationalist Army.
How Song Zheyuan arranged.
Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong's confidants will deal with it.
Song Zheyuan served as the first local warlord leader to defect to the Northeast Army.
Then for the Northeast Army, it is necessary to set an example.
So the arrangement of the location cannot be too bad.
And it must be a position of real power.
Otherwise, when others look at it, they will be marginalized by defecting to the Northeast Army.
Then they will only choose to join the Northeast Army if they are brain-dead.
So Zhang Xueming also gave him two choices.
The first option is to take up a post in Chahar province.
In charge of a province, this position is also quite good.
Further up is the core political circle of the Northeast Political Affairs Committee.
He Song Zheyuan has not been able to enter here with such great merit.
The second option was the commander of the army group.
A group army of the Northeast Army is more than 50,000 people, and a little more than 100,000.
For example, the 50th Army had nine infantry divisions totaling 110,000 men.
Although the 51st Army is a little less, it also has 6 infantry divisions with a total strength of more than 70,000 people.
His original 29th Army was only 20,000 or 30,000 people.
It developed only after he occupied the Pingjin region and became the king of North China.
What's more, how can the equipment of the Northeast Army be compared with these local warlords?
The number of artillery fire in a division is greater than the number of forces on one side.
And there is also strong air force support.
The two are completely incomparable.
Song Zheyuan finally chose the post of commander of the group army.
Although he is also civilized and martial.
But he understands very well.
In this chaotic world, only by choosing troops can there be more opportunities to make meritorious contributions.
Compared with dealing with government affairs, he still likes the troops more.
Moreover, he is also very much looking forward to the advanced equipment of the Northeast Army.
As for Chen Gu and the two of them.
Zhang Xueming's disposal method is also very simple.
Take money to ransom people.
Five million oceans, a total of 10 million, is not excessive.
For Chen Cheng, Zhang Xueming still solicited it.
However, Chen Cheng was loyal to his principal and refused his solicitation.
Zhang Xueming also knew that he could not open his overlord qi, and others would worship him.
Since he was unwilling, Zhang Xueming did not force it. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)
These two people also have some generals, and Zhang Xueming is willing to release them.
But those captured soldiers, Zhang Xueming, would not be released.
After some screening, qualified to enter the army, navy and air force.
The less qualified were integrated into the large engineering corps.
Completely unqualified, Zhang Xueming chose to pay the travel fee for repatriation.
If there are those who have committed many evils, those who have committed great evil.
Zhang Xueming also didn't mind giving them a peanut rice.
The same treatment was chosen for the Lu Army and the 29th Army.
Together, there are about 200,000 people.
After screening, about 150,000 people passed the final qualification.
Again, this is with the relaxation of conditions.
If you follow strict standards, I am afraid that there are not 100,000 people.
In the end, Zhang Xueming decided to form the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th Group Armies together with the tens of thousands of recruits who had just been trained.
These 150,000 people will be completely disrupted and reprogrammed.
This is also to prevent them from forming a regional group (CJBF) and forming a mountaineering doctrine in the army.
The same will be true of the future Northeast Army.
After the disruption and reorganization, the weapons and equipment were completely closer to the 50th and 51st armies.
Song Zheyuan, on the other hand, served as commander of the 53rd Army.
This group army has six standard infantry divisions with a total strength of about 75,000 men.
The number of troops was more than doubled compared to the previous 29th Army.
When the reorganization of the three armies was completed.
Integration training will be conducted for a period of three months.
There are three main aspects.
First of all, basic training, housekeeping discipline training, etc.
The second is cultural lessons.
After completing training every day.
All need to set aside one to two hours for cultural classes.
The content of the cultural class is actually relatively simple.
Just learn some common words and some simple arithmetic.
If there are fewer than 500 literacies within three months, continue training.
Until this most basic indicator is completed.
More literacy and better numeracy equals higher literacy.
As long as some basic training can meet the standard.
Then the opportunity for promotion is greater.
At least being a squad platoon leader is completely fine.
This is also an incentive for them.
Only when there is a reward can there be motivation to learn.
After all, being a platoon leader is not only a status improvement.
It's also a salary increase.
The third aspect is political propaganda.
Zhang Xueming has already begun to add the post of instructor in the army.
This role is actually similar to the position of political commissar.
This position is equal in status to the military chief of this force.
There will not be one who is responsible for the command operations of the troops.
One is responsible for administrative and ideological propaganda work in the military.
There is also a very important role.
That is the regulatory responsibility.
Divide part of the power from the military commander so that no one grows bigger.
So only after the soldiers learned cultural knowledge.
to begin to receive ideological propaganda.
The main thing is to let them understand the general righteousness of the country, let them know for whom they are fighting, why, and what is the meaning of fighting.
What Zhang Xueming wanted was the war machine under his command.
The war in the Jiaodong region ended quickly.
The situation also quickly calmed down.
But the impact is spreading rapidly across the cities.
When he heard that Zhang Xueming asked him to ransom people with money.
But it made him angry.
"Niang Xipi, Zhang Xueming's shaft is too deceptive. "
Five million for one person, plus those division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders and the like.
These dozens and hundreds of people add up to 20 million oceans.
It's simply coming to grab money.
It's okay to grab money, and you have to humiliate him by the way.
But you can't help but get people back.
If he chooses to leave it alone.
Then those Huangpu students below will be cold.
When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team really can't be brought with them.
So even if this is a lump of soaring, the bald head has to endure nausea and swallow it.
In the end, the two sides negotiated.
At the final price of 15 million oceans, all these people were redeemed.
However, it is in the name of supporting local construction in Shandong.
Otherwise, his bald face really has no place to rest.
But it is also this devastated war.
Let the major warlords clearly understand the strength of the Northeast Army.
After all, I had only heard about it before.
I only know that it is very powerful, but how powerful it is not clear.
And now they have a whole new conceptual understanding.
After redeeming the person away.
The bald head begins to merge vertically and horizontally.
Began to send commissioners to various forces to encourage them to form a secret anti-Northeast alliance.
If the Northeast Army dares to use force against whom.
Then the parties will form a coalition to the Northern Expedition.
Drive the Northeast Army back to the outside of the border.
To put it bluntly, it is to report to the group for heating.
Except for individual forces.
There are still many people who are very interested in this proposal.
For example, Yan Laoxi, Sanma, and some warlords of the Sichuan and Xiang armies.
After all, there is no interest involved.
If the bald heads annexed them in the name of the alliance anti-northeast.
Then naturally they are unlikely to agree.
The bald head did not do this kind of thing less.
Therefore, all forces are still very vigilant against bald heads.
That's why.
Gui, Cantonese and Yunxi did not agree.
Mainly because they are in the south of China.
The Northeast Army could not threaten them for the time being.
With a bald character.
Once they accepted the words of this alliance.
Then the other side will infiltrate them by various means.
In the event of a war in the future, they will be treated as cannon fodder.
Li and Bai are well aware of this.
And for the bald head jumping up and down.
Zhang Xueming just smiled.
The union of the six countries eventually failed because each of the six countries had a ghostly birth.
Why not this force with bald heads?
In the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger.
No one can stop the general trend of unification.
Therefore, in the future, the Northeast Army will continue to hibernate and continue to develop low-key.
However, during this period, it will also increase its penetration into Shanxi and Suiyuan.
Yan Laoxi and Fu Zuoyi still have a lot to do between them.
And Fu Zuoyi is also an object worth wooing.
In addition to Fu Zuoyi, Zhang Xueming also had another person's idea.
Zheng Yao first knew that Zhang Xueming was very interested in talents.
Therefore, it has never stopped recruiting talents at home and abroad.
For example, Wang Yaowu, who also served as a regiment commander in the national army.
And the news brought by Zheng Yaoxian this time made Zhang Xueming very interested.
"What, Wei Lihuang was deposed and returned to his hometown?"
Zheng Yaoxian nodded and said, "That's right, he took the initiative to give up Zaozhuang.
Although the losses were not large, the strength was also preserved.
But the bald head needs to find a scapegoat to bear the responsibility for this war.
Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong are both his Whampoa lineage, and they definitely can't let the two of them scapegoat.
So I can only find Wei Lihuang, a non-concubine.
So the bald head under the anger swept Wei Lihuang to the end and drove home to farm.
Wei Lihuang also felt cold, but he didn't expect that he would really prepare for farming. "
Hearing this, Zhang Xueming's eyes lit up.
Isn't this a great opportunity to recruit?
With his abilities it will certainly be reactivated soon.
But this time Zhang Xueming is ready to strike first.
