Chapter 110 The Northwest New Deal
Chapter 110 New Northwest Politics
Chen Cheng did not see the true combat power of the Forty Army, but he still felt the vigorous development as an emerging economy.
Hetao Farm has established a corps of hundreds of thousands of people in the land reclamation corps. The number of the corps has remained at 200,000 for many years. What is this a huge military reclamation force?
Chen Cheng even trembled in his heart. He had heard Liu Xianhe, accompanying him explain that these were advocated by Zeng Yiyang and gradually established. Even though the Red Third Front Army drew up a large army, he had never relaxed the construction here when the Great Wall War was so difficult.
With the fertile land and sufficient water source of the Hetao Plain, the farm has now become the largest granary in the northwest. Even the grain output of the 800-mile Guanzhong Plain cannot be compared with the Hetao Plain.
The shock made Chen Cheng realize that Zeng Yiyang is not just a military opponent.
There are many other names in Zeng Yiyang. For example, the tenured professor at the University of Berlin is a scholar who has made great achievements in the field of chemistry. There are also Chiang Kai-shek who concluded through Zeng Yiyang's experience that he was a spy from the Soviet Union, etc.
In Hetao, he discovered the other side of Zeng Yiyang, and used a grassland that could only satisfy hundreds of thousands of people and livestock, opened river canals, diverted the water of the Yellow River, and built the largest farmland in China. After the land reclamation came out, it could supply the food for millions of people. In Chen Cheng's mind, Zeng Yiyang had gone from an ordinary person, a lucky person, and then a genius, and now he has become a pure ghost like a demon.
Moreover, these young and strong farmers, who seem to be farmers, do not always do farm work in the farm, but are conducting military training for some time. These people, with just one order and pick up a gun, can join the battlefield. The young and strong farms show their capable military style, is definitely not accidental. Chen Cheng can conclude that these people must have been trained for about a year.
He was a general who led the army and naturally understood how much time it took for a farmer who could barely pass the test if he wanted to become a soldier. After losing two A-level divisions in Jiangxi, Chen Cheng also trained recruits in northern Jiangsu for more than a year, and spent most of his time in the recruit camp.
At that time, in order to make the troops more powerful, one or two main regiments were drawn from other units of the 18th Army to build the two divisions that were destroyed as skeletons.
In Hunan, Zhang Zhizhong, who had just taken office, began to train troops. However, it would take at least half a year for the new recruits to become a qualified soldier through training. These soldiers who have not been on the battlefield need to be led by veterans so that they will not have mutiny or collective escape on the first time they went to the battlefield.
Chen Cheng saw a kind of toughness from the farm employees who walked everywhere. Yes, it was unreasonable that only veterans could appear on the seemingly new recruits.
In fact, Chen Cheng still did not hear the idea of all farm construction. You should know that these farm personnel who were divided into six divisions were all young people aged from sixteen to twenty. As long as they eat well, they would have endless energy.
Since ancient times, many swordsmen have emerged in Guanzhong and many heroes from the green forest have developed people here, especially men who value love and friendship, but who have forgotten to commit suicide.
In addition, they were originally the leader of the main regiment of the Forty Army, of course, their military supervisors could have forgotten the morale and practical training of these recruits. It is a good illustration that the bandits and horse bandits in various places were wiped out.
Many farm employees have taken guns and large groups of people have gone to wipe out the bandits' soldiers.
If we ask these new soldiers to fight against regular troops, they must be weak in combat. As long as the casualties are slightly larger, deserters may appear. But Wang Lifa is a veteran soldier who cannot fight the regular army, and there is no chance, but fighting bandits, these students who have been guns for several months are not vague at all.
Many people have enemies with bandits. When they face bandits, they don’t need to mobilize combat at all, and they just look like a life-and-death enemy. The combat effectiveness of the army was quickly established. Farm employees who fought small battles had a deeper understanding of the battlefield. In addition to the folk customs, they could vaguely see the appearance of a soldier.
These are things that Chen Cheng could not hear. The Northwest Soviet Area is prejudiced to the people sent by the Nanjing government, and will not say anything to them.
It is undeniable that Zeng Yiyang's half-agricultural and half-soldiers had gradually matured in practice. The first batch of 200,000 young people also became qualified recruits. With the order, a total of 200,000 people could suddenly emerge from the northwest.
If it weren't for the lack of weapons in the Red Army and its arsenal would not be able to meet such a huge military supply, otherwise militia would have long since emerged everywhere and planted land with guns on their backs. This new group of contemporary significance would have emerged.
A layman watches the excitement, while an expert sees the tricks. Even if no one explains it, Chen Cheng can see some tricks.
Unconsciously, Zeng Yiyang became more and more mysterious in Chen Cheng's mind. He was a person who could not be explained by common sense.
Zhuge Duozhi, but died young. Will Zeng Yiyang follow Zhuge Kongming's footsteps?
Chen Cheng thought evilly, because in history, there were not only those who were extremely smart, but they didn’t live long. These are the twelve seals of Ganluo, but they also died at the age of twelve, which is evidence.
He had seen a huge threat from Zeng Yiyang. One could subvert Chiang Kai-shek's military and political government with his personal creative thinking. This might be accumulating strength little by little until one day suddenly emerged, turned into a cocoon and went straight to the sky.
"General Liu, I'm very confused. You have run so many schools, but where do you get so many teachers? Although the materials and costs are not much, it's difficult to establish a school in every town." Chen Cheng was very confused and asked Liu Xianhe, who was accompanying him.
Two years ago, with the support of the political work department, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly had a whim and began to advocate the "new life", founded the concept of a new life, and was the moral standard of the people. It was just a theory that "shoulder the head of a sheep and sells dog meat", forcibly instilling the traditional Confucian thought of foolish loyalty into every citizen, hoping that everyone could work hard for him.
In fact, the effect of this sport is very unpopular because the country is weak and the education is weak. Isn’t this nonsense when talking about being civilized and polite to most citizens?
"I am not a general. In fact, I have never commanded a decent battle." Liu Xianhe did not feel dissatisfied because he had been playing a supporting role in the Forty Army. Instead, he did a passionate job. He would not be ignorant of military affairs and was shy.
"The general is too modest." Chen Cheng smiled awkwardly.
"General Chen, as for what you said, we run so many schools, it is not difficult. Chief Zeng is a person who suddenly burst into fantasy ideas. It is easy to set up a school. In our controlled area, a village committee is established in a village administrative area, and a village school is a village committee. Working during the day and running schools at night, killing both the two. The schools in towns are all fixed, but there are many educated people among the people who open private schools. The government comes forward to ask these teachers to go out of the house, serve the society, and let them serve the school teachers and pay wages. This is to give full play to the world and use the people. Give full play to each person's strengths, whether it is a country or a region, there will be a drastic change." Liu Xianhe knew that Chen Cheng must have thought of the reason why the schools in the Kuomintang-controlled area could not be run.
The government has very little funding, and teachers are relatively disrespectful. In schools, there are also people from the Kuomintang Party headquarters to monitor them, because they are afraid that the students will be deceived and do things that embarrass the government.
"It's not easy to talk about the talent of a person!" Chen Cheng sighed. What he saw and heard in the Hetao area these days was completely this scene.
Seeing that the simple things to do in ** are so difficult to handle in the Kuomintang, Chen Cheng had to think deeply.
During this period of time in the northwest, Chen Cheng saw a brand new social system, even different from the model in Jiangxi.
The energy generated by collectivized production in various industries surprised Chen Cheng at the huge potential of scale. As an instructor in the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Cheng and Ye Jianying are also old acquaintances. Zeng Yiyang’s knowledge of Chen Cheng is more about his military training and governance abilities, rather than his experience of serving in the Kuomintang’s Ministry of Defense.
Chen Cheng, who was quite talkative, pulled Zeng Yiyang to ask questions, just like to understand Zeng Yiyang's governance measures and the current situation in the Hetao area under the governance of the Forty Army.
Of course, Zeng Yiyang kept silent about what the other party shouldn't have known. However, Chen Cheng's eyes lit up on how to cultivate and how to set up a collectivized industrial model.
In the past, when the land was divided, the landlord's house was allowed to live in by the poor. After the landlord's land deed was burned with a fire, the poor could then share the land and cultivate it themselves.
The enthusiasm of the masses in the Soviet area has increased, but the productivity has not been greatly improved.
How much food can be produced in the field or how much food can be produced; a woman makes three pairs of shoes a month or three pairs of shoes. However, after the poor farmers have land, they follow the leadership of the Party and actively join the Red Army to defend the fruits of the revolution.
But now it is different. The emergence of collective farms has greatly increased the average farming area. After the division of labor is refined, many people have exclaimed. In just one experiment, the women's rescue associations in three villages organized to make shoes for the Red Army. One village made shoe soles, one village made uppers, and another village made whole shoes. In just one month, more than 10,000 pairs of shoes were made. Such energy can almost be explained by magic. You must know that according to the past, women in these three villages produced at most 3,000 pairs of shoes a month, and the output of three times can definitely be explained by magic.
After the division of labor is refined, not only can the production capacity increase, but it can also drive quality. Because almost all the products produced are of similar quality.
In the 21st century, after taking two management classes, this is a very problem. It becomes mysterious at this time.
Many people stubbornly think that this is a miracle that can only happen under the leadership of the Party.
Zeng Yiyang smiled after hearing this. He didn't explain. Although he would sometimes tell Liu Xianhe and the others. Liu Xianhe, who studied philosophy, did not understand management at all, but he also understood what Zeng Yiyang meant.
But when facing Chen Cheng, Zeng Yiyang was careful and did not talk about the key points at all. Instead, he kept saying that the key was to improve the ideological awareness of the masses.
Chen Guang and others who were watching the fun beside each laughed in their hearts, and their faces were flushed. If it weren't for the banquet, everyone had drunk some wine, Chen Cheng wouldn't have seen other people's strangeness.
After four or five days, Chen Cheng also understood that he could not find the most critical issue for the success of the Red Army in the northwest, so he was preparing to leave Hetao and go to Xi'an to fly to Henan. It was not that he did not want to govern according to the experience of the Northwest, but that he could not implement it in the Kuomintang-controlled area. He knew that the Red Army could most encourage the people was land. Only when this condition was met, he could get the support of 400 million farmers.
But it's not easy!
Chen Cheng has proposed to divide land to farmers in the south and do experiments. But before the implementation was implemented, everyone opposed it. Although Chen Cheng was not greedy for money and did not buy land and build a house in his hometown when he became rich, no one else was Chen Cheng.
Those who become military commanders and division commanders have money, not only buy land and build industries, but also receive many concubines. Even the land needs to be divided. Will their wives be divided? Isn’t Chen Cheng’s proposal just to let them be shared by the communist wife?
Therefore, as long as Chen Cheng got off the stage, he became a situation where the wall was over and the public enemy. It was precisely because Chen Cheng's independence among the top generals that Chiang Kai-shek gradually paid attention to this unpopular general.
Needless to say, Chiang Kai-shek's method of checking and balance are so brilliant, but it has gradually turned the Kuomintang into a hodgepodge. There are all kinds of people, including all kinds of gangsters; there are young talents who are dedicated to serving the country and the people; there are also those who hope to rely on big trees to become overlords.
A political party composed of scoundrels, talents and ambitious people is approaching step by step towards the abyss of its destruction.
It's like passengers on a luxury cruise ship sailing on the dark Atlantic Ocean, and an iceberg is approaching the cruise ship in the distance. People of all kinds are sighing about the joy of life, but they don't know that their destruction is just about the night.
Those who understand the truth will naturally not point it out to them.
At least, when Chen Cheng asked how Zeng Yiyang viewed ** and the National Party, Zeng Yiyang dragged a long voice meaningfully.
A compliment that was not stingy about the greatness of the founding father, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, was arguing about the hardships of the Northern Expedition. He did not even talk about the current situation of the Nanjing government.
The first one was a pioneer of the revolution, and the second one was a nominal leader of the Northern Expedition. Neither of the achievements between the two could be destroyed. However, Mr. Sun Yat-sen did not give up his nationals or the country. In contrast, after Chiang Kai-shek came to power, he could praise the contributions of the Northern Expedition.
The listener is depressed and the speaker is cautious. Chen Guang and others, who know Zeng Yiyang's temperament, are also silent. Isn't this telling Zeng Yiyang to scold Chiang Kai-shek for forgetting his roots?
Chen Cheng left, and left the northwest with helplessness and reluctance, and went to Nanjing to report Chiang Kai-shek to Chiang Kai-shek.
