Chapter 935: Reduce rent and interest

Kaifeng, the commander-in-chief of the First Corps in East Henan.

"Sir Xue, this new army is too much. Why are they dragged away good things? We will divide these defective products?"

"Why, Commander Song also wants to learn from Commander Du, come here to complain?" Xue Boling smiled and looked at Song Yin National Road with a partial face.

"I just think it's unfair." Song Yinguo said angrily.

"After all, when Song Yinguo was in Nanjing, he still received the kindness of others. If there were hundreds of people in your 36th Division, you would have fed the fish in the Yangtze River."

"Sir Xue, you can't say that. We have made great contributions to the attack on Guide this time. Why are the heavy weapons and tanks being pulled away? Let's leave us some broken iron?" Yu Liangzhen of the 74th Army also said in a bad mood.

"You two have come to me after so many days and have agreed?"

"We only know that you ordered them to give them these things. At first we thought they had seized them." Song Yinguo hummed angrily, "If they seized them by themselves, we also understand the rules on the battlefield. We didn't say anything, but if they seized them by themselves, why should they give them all?"

"Yes, I have given this order, but who will break through Guide City first? Is it your troops?" Xue Boling asked back, "I think you are jealous of the many seized people, right?"

Song Yinguo and Yu Liangzhen both blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"Sir Xue, we have suffered such a huge loss, can we always give us some compensation?"

"How many do you want?"

"Not much, let the New First Army and the 8th Army give us some artillery. Without heavy firepower, there is no way to fight with the Japanese army."

"How many, give a number?"

"Each of our family's twenty infantry or field cannons, heavy mortars are fine." They also knew that they could not play with heavy howitzers or dragon cannons. Without professional artillery, these two heavy artillery could not be served at all. They also needed to have tractors. Once the shells were shot, they would not be able to replenish them.

Therefore, it is not as real as ordinary insidious cannons and field cannons. It is lightweight and easy to operate, and the shells are easy to replenish and transport them is easier.

"Let me tell you what I, Xue Boling, promised, is someone else's. If they are willing to give it to me or not, they have to listen to them. However, Leng Guoguang is not a stingy person, so there should be no big problem." Xue Boling pondered and said.

"Leng Guoguang will definitely give Chief Xue's face."

"Don't put a high hat on me for you two. I can only agree to ask you. I can't make the decision if they agree to it." Xue Boling said.

"You will definitely succeed if you do it, and I will salute Chief Xue."

"Go away, go, get out of here."

After the two left, Wu Xiqi said, "Sir Xue, have you really agreed to them?"

"What can I do if I don't agree? You don't know these two people. They are both disciples of the old man. Besides, I just asked them, it's not certain whether they are Leng Guoguang or not."

"I've decided to go there before going back to Wuhan?" Wu Xiqi asked.

"Well, this time I go back, I guess there are not many opportunities to come to eastern Henan again. I feel that a war will break out south of the Yangtze River." Xue Boling said with deep eyes.

"Our military force has reached its limit, but the Japanese army has just mobilized. Their strong military service mobilization mechanism and strong industrial production capacity are not something we can have." Wu Xiqi sighed.

"This is the sorrow of a weak country, so before returning to Wuhan, I went to see Leng Guoguang in person, discussed it with him, and also paid a visit to Degong." Xue Boling expressed his thoughts.

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Why, you want to go too?" Xue Boling smiled.

"I'm also very curious about what kind of person Leng Guoguang is? Is he the legendary green face and fangs?"

"You believe this too. Don't say you are the chief of staff of me, Xue Boling, when you see him."

"I said no, and they have to believe it."

"Haha, clean up. Tomorrow morning, we will cross the Yellow River, and Leng Guoguang will send a boat to pick us up." Xue Boling laughed.

"I guess, these two people must know that you are going to Xinxiang tomorrow, so they only found them tonight?"

"Who leaked the secret?"

"This is also a secret..."

Wuhan, Luojiashan, Jiang Mansion.

"Sir, Xue Boling called and said that Leng Feng invited him to visit Xinxiang. Before returning to Wuhan, I will go there and let you explore Leng Guoguang's bottom."

"These two are turtles and mung beans, and they are attracted to each other."

"Mr. Bu Lei is a rare joke. Xue Boling is a tiger general, and Leng Guoguang is a wise general. If these two people are put together, it will not be one plus one equals two, but greater than two. In the Battle of Western Shandong and Guide, the two cooperated well. Although there were twists and turns, they eventually took over the main force of the Dohihara Division. Now only Kenji Dohihara escaped alone with dozens of defeated generals. This is probably a defeat he has never had before?" Lin Wei smiled.

"I saw this old guy Doihara look honest, but I thought he was an honest man. He was not on his face even if he was cunning." Old Jiang said angrily.

"It's a pity that he was not caught this time."

"Aren't Isotani Ryosuke arrested by us? Speaking of which, we have captured two Japanese lieutenant generals alive?"

"This is true, we are much better than the Japanese army alone. When did they capture our generals alive?" Lao Jiang said excitedly.

"Sir, Isotani Ryosuke is still in Xinxiang. Should I ask Leng Guoguang to send someone to escort back?"

"Well, you have to hurry up on this matter. Sending people to Chongqing is not safe here in Wuhan." Old Jiang nodded, "The Military Control Commission has sent a team to bring people back."

"The Military Commission's Special Movement Team once sent an escort team to send Leng Guoguang back. Kang Zhaomin was very dissatisfied with this matter."

"Kang Zhaomin's people are too arrogant and domineering. Leng Guoguang is a powerful general who came out of the battlefield. How could he be the one who is his?"

"Well, Kang Zhaomin warns you, don't always ignore the rules, as this will lead to a loss."

"How is Li Delin recuperating in Xinxiang?"

"I heard that the recovery is good, and it is estimated that it will be able to recover in ten days and half a month."

"It's not that fast. I heard his attending doctor say that he has an old injury and needs to be recuperated for at least three months before he can take it. It's almost a quick recovery in half a year."

"How can this be done? The troops withdrawn from the Fifth War Zone do not have the commander of the German neighbors. How can they resist the powerful enemy?"

"Or else, let Chief Li change his place to recuperate, Wuhan, or go directly to Fuyang?"

"Let him keep him in Xinxiang first. The Japanese army will lose two main divisions in succession. There should be no large-scale offensive operations within one or two months. After so many years of old injuries, it should be completely cured." Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand. Li Delin no longer had his troops, but he was better.

It would save him from winning over and recruiting local troops without territory, so he would not let the Guangxi clique become a big shot.

"What do you think about rent reduction and interest rate reduction? Today's meeting is an internal meeting. Although we are all soldiers, we will never be able to carry guns one day. So what else can we do? It's good to have a piece of land and be self-sufficient, don't you think?"

"What the military captain said is reasonable. I just want to wait until the Japanese are killed away. After we retire, we will build a few acres of land, grow grain, raise some chickens, ducks, geese, etc. It is also good to live a pastoral life."

"It is probably not easy for the military throne to move the food in the bowls of those landlords."

"Our soldiers are mainly from the countryside, and everyone knows what the situation of farmers is now. Our government does not give farmers food or live a way out. If Japan and Ben give them food and live a way out, what would they choose?"

"This is impossible. The Japanese killed people like a slap. How could they be so good to the Chinese?"

"But the problem is that the officials at all levels of our government and those local tyrants and evil gentry are doing worse than those of Japan. Do you know that when the people in some places saw the Japanese army coming, they were beating drums and setting off firecrackers to welcome them. Of course, they didn't know that the Japanese army even beat bones and sucking marrow, but if they were not disappointed with our government, could the people put their hopes on the invaders?"

"There are few people, but why is the more you fight, the stronger your vitality? You can survive in a poor place like northern Shaanxi. Why, have you ever thought about it?"

"The people are in their hearts, and the people there support them because they bring land to the people there, equality and freedom. Although we have many cities and many armies, we do not get the support of the people and even stand opposite them. Why?"

"I know that most of the people here believe in the Three Principles of the People, and I also agree with the Three Principles of the People, but do we truly understand the Three Principles of the People and seriously practice it?" Leng Feng rarely talks about political belief in public, so many times, people think that his belief is very vague, and sometimes he is a pure soldier.

"Our country is an agricultural country, with the largest population also farmers. Why did the Japanese army only occupy some large cities and county towns but could not go deep into the countryside? In addition to not having enough troops, they also could not occupy our vast rural areas at all. How big is the countryside, it is more than tens of millions of times larger than all our cities now. We have no reason to embrace farmers!"

"Some people say that farmers are illiterate, have no culture, short-sighted, and are rustic, but don't forget that although farmers' thoughts are conservative, they are the simplest people. Most of our soldiers come from the countryside, and their ancestors are farmers. Most of them join the army just to have enough food and clothing. If you want to tell them the righteousness of the country, they may not understand, but you say that they will protect their lives and property and their own land. Do you think they will fight you to death!"

"Land is the life of farmers. The root of the root, as long as we give them land and hope for survival, they will definitely sacrifice their lives to protect it. In a broad sense, this land is our land!"

"I support the military captains to reduce rent and interest rates, but this may lead to a lot of opposition, and these people have a certain social status and power, so there will be considerable resistance." Shen Zhiming said.

The fight against local tyrants and sharing the land was achieved through violent means. Although the "reducing rent and interest rates" is a bit milder, conflicts and bleeding often occur.

"In the northern part of Henan, our New First Army is an outsider, and it has been occupied by the Japanese army. It will be relatively easier to implement. The Japanese army called me Leng Yanwang, so what if I just think of him as King of Hell? If some people do too much, don't blame me Leng Feng for being too sharp in my hand!" Leng Feng had decided to "reduce rent and interest rates" in northern Henan.

"We are soldiers, soldiers who are fighting for the iron camp, and we are soldiers. Just do our duty as soldiers. Why do you have to do such a thankless thing?"

"Yes, military throne, this kind of thing is still something that those who engage in politics are worried about."

"I am the director of the Northern Henan Administration. This is my duty. If you have the opportunity to go into politics in the future, it will be the same." Leng Feng said, "I want to promote this rent reduction, or 25-year rent reduction. That is to hope to get the support of our own people first. If you don't support me, what else can I do?"

"We can have today, that's all the cultivation of military captains. Whatever military captains say and what we do, there is nothing to say, just do it."

"If it weren't for the military captains, we would have all died in Nanjing. This life was given by the military captains. Isn't it just a reduction in rent and interest? What's the terrible thing about those landlords? If you dare to go against us, you will just take down all of them!"

"This matter must be cautious and cannot be implemented blindly. Should we first touch on the situation in the rural areas of northern Henan?" Shen Zhiming reminded solemnly.

"Of course, I have asked someone to do the work of the survey, and it will be a result soon. Let's release the news first and see the reactions of these people. What do you think?"

"This method is good. Just do a few thorns that jumped out first, and everything else will be easier to do, just like leading a soldier."

"Okay, today's meeting will be here. Everyone will go back and rest." Leng Feng saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stood up and announced the end of the meeting.

"Military Secretariat, Xue Boling is coming tomorrow. Will he send someone to the dock to welcome him?"

"Let Cong Hu go there, I can't live without you here."

"I'll call Cong Hu." Guo Weiquan nodded.

"Have you notified Chief Li?"

"It has been notified that Chief Li knew that Chief Xue was coming, and tomorrow's welcome banquet will be arranged in Yangxin Hall." Guo Weiquan explained.

“Okay.”

"Military, President Tang wants to see you."
