Chapter 94: The May 15th Massacre Part One

,

spn Just like one night, Zhang Shusheng became a household name in this land of China that was as dull as the night before dawn.

This suddenly rising warlord became a new star in domestic politics in the blink of an eye with its unprecedented strength, incredible speed of development, and detachment that almost never participated in any dirty domestic politics.

This powerful Yunnan warlord, from a small position in the north and east of Yunnan, secretly took over Guangxi, which is extremely rich in strategic resources, and then used the perfect opportunity to send troops to Yunnan and Guizhou to defeat Tang Jirao and capture Tang Jirao.

The entire Yunnan and Guizhou provinces were included.

In this battle of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi that caught everyone's expectations, Zhang Shusheng used thunderous speed to launch force from northern Yunnan and Guangxi at the same time, crushing the Yunnan and Guizhou armies. And in Guangdong and Cantonese warlord Chen Jiongming and Sichuan

The "Assisted Attack on the Yunnan Army" launched by the warlords from two directions was strongly blocked by him, and he put up a fight to the death to scare away the warlords who wanted to fight against the autumn wind.

After becoming famous in the First World War, the New Yunnan Army rose up strongly and pacified the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi within a month at an alarming speed. After the February 28 Kunming Massacre, newspapers and periodicals not only paid attention to the tragedy, but also published numerous articles on Zhang Shusheng and his forces.

reports.[

But at this time, almost everyone discovered that almost everyone knew very little about this Zhang Shusheng. Judging from some official information, this Zhang Shusheng was originally from the militia, and until now, his army is still based on the militia. And then,

He started by suppressing bandits and developed an unknown number of modern industries. Later, he established a line with the Lu family of Guangxi and defeated the Guilin rebel generals on the battlefield of Guilin in the "Battle to Save the Land". In one fell swoop, he included Guangxi, which is extremely rich in strategic resources.

Zhong. Subsequently, the incident of Tang Jirao's collusion with the enemy and treason suddenly broke out, but it happened to be discovered by this small warlord in northern Yunnan. While announcing this shocking scandal to the public, he organized his elite troops, together with the Guangxi clique, to defeat Yunnan and Guizhou in one fell swoop.

Province.

By the time the country's attention paid attention to him, he was already clearing out the remaining troops in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and the entire Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi campaign had entered its final stage.

Correspondingly, because Zhang Shusheng's position is very clear, unlike other warlord politicians who only shout slogans to deceive the people, he actually does things and takes practical actions to prove that he is people-oriented.

Putting education first and putting nation first!

Many social celebrities even jointly suggested in newspapers that Zhang Shusheng participate in the election of the new government, hoping that this rising star warlord could enter the center of power and radiate his influence from the southwest to the whole country.

"...I would like to emphasize a few points in particular. After the new grassroots 'government' is formed, the compensation work for the victims of the February 28th massacre, the renovation and construction of original schools at all levels in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou, and the refugee relief work in the three provinces must be prioritized.

Go to the first place. Now that it is April, the seed sales work within the three provinces must also be stepped up. The staff must go deep into the fields and have clear regional targeting and technical guidance for seed sales, fertilizer sales, etc.

It must also be done properly. If the number of people is really not enough, outstanding students from intermediate technical schools can be selected for surprise training. As for the cost..."

Faced with various voices across the country, Zhang Shusheng was not affected. He had devoted all his energy to various tasks in the newly occupied areas of Yunnan and Guizhou.

The formation of the new "government" was the first to be put on the agenda. With the plan in place, all work was carried out very quickly.

First, based on the old system of Dongchuan District and the militia, a joint government of the three provinces was established, with Zhang Shusheng as the chairman of the joint government. Departments with clear division of labor at all levels were established under the joint government.

In order to prevent the rights of the new areas from being stolen by the old bureaucrats, Zhang Shusheng specially ordered that every time a county is occupied, a temporary military administration "government" will be formed, the local "government" will be immediately dissolved, and political workers will be transferred from the army to form an immediate temporary grassroots

The management agency mainly gives priority to government affairs, education, civil affairs, police, publicity, taxation, etc.

In principle, the newly occupied areas of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will select outstanding middle and low-level cadres from the Dongchuan District system and pass ultra-strict assessments to serve as new officials in the two provinces. They will be selected from Southwest University, all levels of secondary and technical schools, high schools, and junior high schools.

Students enter grassroots "governments" at all levels and serve as "governments" at township and above levels.

Of course, even so, after deploying a large number of experienced government personnel from Dongchuan District, "governments" at all levels are still seriously short of personnel. At this time, Zhang Shusheng proposed a new method.

A very small number of people will be selected from the original "governments" at all levels, and some will be openly recruited from the public. Those who pass the exam will also be strictly assessed, and a one-month public announcement will be made. The announcement will be made widely within the current administrative area, and

Personnel are sent on the spot to receive possible reports. Anyone who has bad conduct or is reported as unfair, unfair, benevolent, unfilial and unjust will be investigated thoroughly by the working group.

It is better to be ineffective than to be indiscriminate, and will never allow people with hidden evil intentions to enter the new "government". Moreover, in this special period of the formation of the new "government", in addition to the special inspectors sent by the three-province joint government, there are also all the agents from the Special Intelligence Department of the militia.

Take action to prevent possible fraud in the selection of officials.

In the original history, when the so-called revolution was successful, the conspiracy parties, like crucian carp crossing the river, suddenly changed their identities and joined the so-called new "government" as soon as their flags were changed. This was something Zhang Shusheng hated deeply. Of course, he tried every means to do it.

Avoid these mistakes.

During the enlarged meeting of the joint government of the three provinces, Sun Changqing resigned from his post as chief of the Commercial Special Investigation Section of Shusheng Company and officially entered the government as prime minister of the joint government of the three provinces.

Zhu Zijian serves as the governor of Yunnan Province, and Lu Yunlun, the former deputy director of political affairs in Guangxi, is transferred to the deputy governor of Yunnan Province. Wei Sancai officially serves as the governor of Guangxi Province, and Xu Jianming serves as the deputy governor. Yuan Jiagu, vice president of Southwest University, serves as the governor of Guizhou Province

, Wei Changfa serves as the deputy governor of Guizhou Province.

It is worth mentioning here that Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other enlightened politicians from the original three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi also passed Zhang Shusheng's personal assessment and held certain positions in the new "government".

In addition to government affairs, education, industry, transportation, etc., military construction was also put on the agenda immediately. In order to expand military strength in an orderly and reasonable manner, Zhang Shusheng decided to expand the existing two reorganized divisions into one

Special Guards Division, three elite reorganized divisions. The local garrison will also be newly formed.

On the basis of the existing reserve forces, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces will form three garrison divisions each, and Guizhou will form two garrison divisions. In addition to the Guizhou garrison division, which is mainly responsible for frightening local areas and guarding central China, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces will also be responsible for

Border guard missions other than security missions.[

The Yunnan direction directly extended the border defense line to the side of Yeren Mountain, while the Guangxi direction focused on strengthening the defense against Vietnam.

In order to rectify border defense and strengthen border combat capabilities, in addition to each having a garrison division responsible for border defense, there is also a reorganized elite third division stationed at the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi to provide support.

Because the joint government of the three provinces has moved to Kunming, the Special Guards Division will also be stationed in Kunming, and the elite First Division will be stationed in Dongchuan District to protect the largest and most technologically advanced industrial complex in the joint government.

and Education Center.

These troops seem to be in large numbers, but in fact they are just enough. What Zhang Shusheng formulated is an elite route garrison reserve force reserve force.

In other words, compared with the rudimentary troops of other warlords, these four troops can actually go to the battlefield at any time. And Zhang Shusheng will also invest more money in the research and development and production of advanced military equipment and the improvement of military technology research. Fighting

It’s a very simple score. Don’t look at it. Before the war, the militia only had more than a hundred tanks and dozens of actual combat aircraft. However, the money spent on these two items alone reached tens of millions of dollars. It’s a waste of money.

Ding dong. So, although Zhang Shusheng is making a lot of money every day, when it comes to using money, it's called loading it out on a truck...

Also considering that the geographical location of Dongchuan District is not particularly suitable for long-term development, Zhang Shusheng decided to move the joint government to Kunming. For a long time to come, the area of ​​the joint government will not expand much.

Instead, we should consolidate existing achievements, develop education, train the army, open more factories, reform land policy, improve people's living standards, and prepare for future world wars.

After these 10 years of ups and downs, Zhang Shusheng finally understood that the bigger the territory, the better, the food must be eaten one bite at a time. Tang Jirao's territory is not too small, right? It was taken over by himself in a month. Make a decision and then move, ambition and ambition

Only with the same big appetite can we swallow the entire land of China, or even more.

At this point, Dongchuan District will become a special zone, seeking more and better development based on the existing foundation, and the energy of the joint government will be transferred to the entire three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and the distribution of industries and educational resources will be

More reasonably, it is expected that a large number of modern industries will be built in the three provinces, in an attempt to drive the local economy with the industrial economy invested by the "government" and gradually improve the living standards of the people in the three provinces.

What needs to be said here is that due to the previous provocation of the Sichuan warlords, Zhang Shusheng sent troops to take over the Panzhihua area. This world-famous steel city in later generations now looks like a deserted area. But under the joint control of the "government", the economy

In the plan, a huge steel industry plan will become an important part of the economic development of the three provinces and is also the top priority of the third five-year plan.

————————

"Report!"

"Come in!"

Mao Yunxian, the confidential secretary of the Joint Government, walked in with a confidential briefcase and handed it to Zhang Shusheng: "'Chairman', this is top-secret information just received by the Special Intelligence Department."

After Zhang Shusheng received the information, he opened it and read it, only to see that it read "...several student demonstrations, and foreigners in the concession repeatedly carried out provocative arrests...Yesterday, there was another incident of killing workers in a Japanese cotton mill...

Tomorrow, all walks of life in Shanghai are dominated by students, and it is suspected that there will be ultra-violent demonstrations..."

What is supposed to come will come. In Shanghai, a place full of foreign strength, and even a concession where troops are stationed, it would be strange not to cause trouble.

Why the riot? It's simple to say. Japan, Britain, France and other countries have never regarded the Chinese as human beings and have never been merciless in taking life and death.
