The small Zhengyi Sect was naturally unable to resist the patrol force of the entire Jiangxi Province. After a fierce attack, the Longhu Mountain Dojo was captured. Most of the believers surrendered, and a few stubborn resisters were killed on the spot. Zhang Yu
Seeing that the situation was over, the first class people set fire to Hegong and tried to burn themselves, but were captured by the patrol police who swarmed over him.
After breaking through Longhu Mountain and capturing Zhang Yuchu, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect alive, the crackdown officially kicked off. Patrol police from all over the country and Jingzhong Guards jointly launched a joint attack. All Taoist temples and major Buddhist temples were sealed off one after another, whether they were Taoist priests or not.
Regardless of the monks, unless there is a presidential pardon, all Taoist temples will be cleared out, and even those who resist will be killed without mercy.
These Taoist monks who were kicked out of the country were forced to return home. Those who were unwilling to return home were conservative elements, so they were all exiled overseas and left to fend for themselves. In short, Wan Lei was carrying out a campaign to destroy the righteous path of Buddhism.
Even those famous Guan Guan and Buddhist temples have been converted into preaching points for Chongdao Hall.
This crackdown lasted for more than ten days. Thousands of religious groups across the country were banned and tens of thousands of people were kicked out. Although some conservative elements were crying out for injustice, most people accepted the fact that Taoism was the only sect.
Many people have converted to the Chongdao sect, and Chongdao halls located in various places are increasingly overcrowded.
At the end of the new year, although various places have just experienced severe crackdowns, the joyful and festive atmosphere still envelopes the whole country. One year after the Republic of China unified the industries in Jiangnan, the agriculture and handicrafts in Jiangnan have been revived to a great extent. Although it is compared with the rich provinces in Jiangbei
There are still some gaps, but at least the people don't have to go hungry, and they still have some money left over to celebrate the New Year.
With the unification of the country and convenient water and land transportation, the commodity economy in Jiangnan provinces has also flourished. Even an ordinary Jiangnan town is full of shops, with daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, as well as delicacies, sugar, wine, pastries and other new year products.
It is plentiful and the price is not high, so ordinary people can afford it, eat well and wear good clothes, and the children are always smiling.
On December 20, it snowed heavily, but the outside of Peiping Railway Station was full of people. At around 10 noon, a train from Hankou slowly entered the station. The people on the train had not yet got off the train. On the platform
The people cheered loudly.
This special train was filled with officers from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Group Armies. These people had been suppressing bandits in the Yunguang area for half a year, and now they finally made a triumphant return. In order to welcome these heroes, Wan Lei and
Military and political dignitaries came in person despite the snow.
In fact, at the end of each year, the generals of the major group armies have to come back to report on their work as usual. After the New Year, they also have to participate in the annual enlarged session of Congress to discuss major military and political affairs for the year.
Navy Commander Liu Wenxiu, who is stationed in the South China Sea, will also lead his team back.
After Wan Lei received the generals who got off the train, he only asked the commanders of the four major armies to stay and go to Huayuan for military reports. The other generals were given leave and allowed to go home to reunite with their families. Today's Beiping City
, it is a place where high-ranking officials gather, and many family members of military and political officials live here. It is a real political center.
It was snowing, but the flow of people on the streets of Beiping City did not decrease at all. Wan Lei led the generals in a carriage and slowly left the station and came to Huayuan. The special agents of Huayuan also prepared warm tea and water early.
Towels, the four generals felt at home as soon as they entered Huayuan.
Although Wan Lei has become the president, he has always been brothers with the old generals of the Peking Army and has no airs. This made the four generals present couldn't help but recall the time when they all killed the enemy on the city wall together.
situation. In the past few years, everyone has become the founding fathers of the country.
The generals also knew that reporting on military affairs was important, so they had no time to express their emotions. They just sat down and talked about the war situation in the southwest. In the past year, the Peking Army has been fighting in the southwest, and has invested nearly thirty
With a force of 10,000 troops, 17 large and small chieftain forces were eliminated, nearly 100,000 enemies were annihilated, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was completely leveled.
However, in the western part of Yunnan and the northwestern part of Guangxi, there are still some remnants of enemy troops entrenched in that area, especially near Myanmar and Annan. Some indigenous people colluded with foreign forces to invade the border lines, and they were unable to suppress them.
A total of more than 100,000 troops of the Fifth Army were held at the border, and another 100,000 troops were sent to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to intimidate the newly surrendered ethnic groups.
"Mr. Wan, outside the border between Yunnan and Myanmar and Vietnam, the terrain is complex and the mountains are high and deep, which is the most suitable place for hiding thieves. Moreover, the miasma is too heavy and epidemics are common. Our soldiers have suffered heavy losses." The commander of the Third Army said with some complaints.
"I know the hardships of the frontline soldiers, but there must be someone standing guard at the border. When you return to the army next year, you must do more ideological work for the soldiers and tell them that the country will not treat them badly. This time the war is over.
After that, they can be demobilized, and the state will properly arrange their jobs and even allocate some land to them."
"Demarcate the land?" Zhao Quanjie, commander of the Third Group Army, couldn't help but his eyes flashed, and he said again: "Mr. Wan, can you demarcate Qiongzhou Island and distribute it to the soldiers?"
"Don't worry, as long as the soldiers who have made meritorious service in the Southern Expedition will be given land according to their military merit, each person will be given land ranging from one hundred acres to one thousand acres, and they are all good land with high economic value." Wan Lei said with a smile.
Of course Wan Lei knew that Zhao Quanjie was attracted by Qiongzhou Island because this island would be a rubber production base. Hundreds of acres of rubber trees were planted on the mountains, and a large amount of rubber could be harvested every year. It can be said to be a geomantic treasure land. And there are only some on the island.
As long as the Li people are managed properly, they can be used as laborers in the rubber plantations.
As soon as they heard that there was good land to be divided, other generals became excited. The commander of the Fourth Army even set his eyes on Annan Country, because the climate of Annan Country is also suitable for planting rubber trees. Although it is a bit hot there,
You can capture local people and use them as slave labor, and you can also reap real benefits.
"The Southeast Peninsula is indeed a treasure land, but the local climate and terrain are very complex. If you want to use troops there, you have to create a wolf soldier who is good at fighting in mountainous and forested areas." Wan Lei also intends to use troops on the Southeast Peninsula, and
He said: "The Beiping Army has two main tasks next year. One is to stabilize the war situation in the southwest, and the other is to train and prepare for war."
"Mr. Wan, when will we use troops against Annan?" The commander of the Fifth Army was impatient. He was eager to occupy Annan immediately and start dividing the territory.
"There is no need to rush this. Next year we will focus on developing the navy and deploying troops on Xiaoliuqiu. The deployment of troops on the southeastern peninsula should be scheduled for the year after next. By then, the land and sea forces will coordinate operations. I will also do some tricks in East Asia's diplomacy to facilitate
