No one had ever known how much Ouyang Yun drank before. Some even thought that a young man like him might have never touched alcohol at all. In fact, he was really as good as "rinsing his mouth with one or two ounces." A drunkard described as "three, two or four ounces is not wine",
Zhang Zizhong was very strict in running the army, and in some aspects he was even more strict than the student army, so he got the nickname "Zhou Papi". During normal marches and battles, Zhang Zizhong strictly prohibited his subordinates from drinking. Perhaps because of the lack of testing, his drinking capacity was compared to Ouyang Yun was slightly inferior,
Without saying much, the two parties drank with open arms. This drinking lasted for more than three hours. In the end, except for Bai Liusu who stayed awake enough because he had not touched any alcohol, Guo Biao stayed awake because he was able to force the drink out of his body. Even though he was sober, everyone including Ouyang Yun, Zhang Zizhong and others were actually drunk.
After drinking, some things can be said openly. During the drinking, Ouyang Yun used the topic more than once, banging the table and bench and cursing someone in Nanjing. Zhang Zizhong also told some secrets, and then used the opportunity to put forward his own The request was made in the hope that Ouyang Yun would leave some wealth for himself. After drinking, Ouyang Yun was not pretentious and agreed immediately. So, after a banquet, both parties left happily.
Before breaking up, Ouyang Yun grabbed Zhang Zizhong's shoulders and said seriously: "Promise brother, no matter what the war is like, you must live. China needs soldiers like you, and we will fight to Tokyo together in the future."
"I promise you."
"Well, take care, Renqiu Oilfield must be protected. If it doesn't work, just seal it. No matter how much it costs, I can reimburse it."
"You kid, you look like a wealthy landlord."
"Ha ha."
"Ouyang, goodbye."
"Bye now."
The motorcade drove out slowly. After Ouyang Yun insisted on returning to his seat, he finally couldn't bear the attack of alcohol, and his head fell into Bai Liusu's arms.
The man's head rested on her chest, smelling of alcohol. Bai Liusu frowned and wanted to vomit, but in the end she hugged him.
"Send off comrades, embark on the journey, shed tears in silence..." Ouyang Yun hummed softly, and Bai Liusu was surprised to find that this man who seemed so majestic just now actually shed tears.
It seems that he is still reluctant to leave,
On July 23, the last group of students from the army began their journey south. Among these people, there were quite a few people wearing the uniforms of the Jinsui Army, but with gloomy expressions.
These are nearly one division of Yan Laoxi’s captured personnel.
It is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. No matter what honest reasons Yan Laoxi had, this time, he encountered a stone in a pit. There was nothing he could do. A total of two divisions were sent out, and one of them was wiped out. division, the rest were all disarmed, and according to reliable information, they will most likely go to Guangdong to do long-term work for at least half a year for their stupid behavior.
Ouyang Yun was among the first to go to Guangdong, and he was on a plane driven by Air Force Commander Tie Linfei himself.
When the prisoners of war of the Jinsui Army were being put on the train in batches, he was drinking tea with a group of gentry from Guangdong and talking about the important matter of "creating a great cause together".
The Xuebing Army moved to Guangdong. In the short term, the Xuebing Army suffered a lot of losses. The first thing it had to face was the pressure from the gentry, especially the landlords. Renqiu's land reform precedent was there, although it was only Very few violent incidents occurred, but as the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. The clever Guangdong landowners still learned about it. Out of their own interests, they became the most determined group to oppose the student army's entry into Guangdong. people,
In today's tea conversation, Ouyang Yun wants to solve this problem.
Ouyang Yun knew that due to his own strength, it was no longer realistic to apply Renqiu's land reform methods to Guangdong. Among other things, first of all, Guangdong was the territory where the Cantonese army had been operating for many years. The relationships at all levels are intertwined, and it can be said that one move affects the whole body. The current relationship between the Guangdong Army and the Xuebing Army, although the nominal supreme commander is Ouyang Yun, they have their own governance system, and Ouyang Yun is temporarily It is impossible to exert influence, and it is unrealistic to use force. However, land is the foundation of the people, and the rule of the Xuebing Army will ultimately be consolidated by the support of the broad masses of the people. Therefore, although reform is destined to be difficult, it is also inevitable OK, Jiang Shuren, after several days of research and discussions with think tanks, finally came up with the idea that the land in the hands of big landlords can be exchanged for equity distribution, and a series of policies can be introduced to encourage landlords to abandon their land for business. This is another The difference in this version of "using business to control agriculture" is that the businessmen are omitted from the process, and instead the military government personally takes action.
The tea conversation hosted by Ouyang Yun today will become a litmus test of whether this policy is feasible.
Many of the squires and landlords who attended the meeting were forced to come because of the Cantonese officers. Before they came, they were reminded that they could raise any opinions they had at the meeting, but once they agreed, they would be recorded in the book and then secretly discussed. It's a trick, but it's a violation of the contract and you'll be sued.
This is naturally emphasized by Ouyang Yun, and the reason why he insists on this is that he hopes to make a good start.
The tea party began. Ouyang Yun first asked Li Ziwen to play a half-hour movie for everyone. The movie was a documentary and Li Ziwen's first work. It recorded the prosperity of the large industry of Xuebingjun in detail. down, and the input cost, output and prospects of the enterprise are noted behind each individual small unit.
The first enterprise recorded in the film is naturally Xuebingjun Arsenal. Brand-new machines, brightly lit, busy workshops, and brand-new guns, cannons, and tanks coming off a branch line. The film is shown at the beginning. All people in Guangdong were greatly shocked, including Xiang Hanping.
The issue of Xiang Hanping's abdication remained a mystery until the end of World War II. However, what is certain is that Xiang Hanping was definitely not voluntary, and what kind of conspiracy was hidden in it is not known to outsiders. According to people around Xiang People say that since Liu Zheliang asked to see Xiang Hanping late at night, the next day Xiang Hanping sent a nationwide telegram announcing his abdication.
Xiang Hanping had just visited the arsenal not long ago. At that time, the arsenal was still small, with only two workshops. What he didn't know was that the arsenal in the movie was the one in the Dingzhou base, with a total of five Large workshops produce guns, ammunition, cannons, tanks, and fighter planes.
Xiang Hanping was surprised by the size of the factory, but what surprised the squires was the figures listed later. The investment of more than two million yuan was recovered within two months. What an exaggerated rate of return.
The arsenal aroused everyone's appetite, and the following pharmaceutical factories, electronics factories, automobile factories, steel factories, etc. made people who smelled the scent of money unable to help but salivate.
After half an hour, after opening the curtains, Ouyang Yun stood up with a smile and asked everyone: "Do you have any ideas or want to know something? Just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Gentlemen of Guangdong, look at me and I look at you. After a few minutes, a man stood up from behind and said, "Sir Ouyang, do the things shown in the movie really belong to your army?"
"yes."
"Then the so-called associates marked later, they, they really don't have the status and background of soldiers."
"Of course, for most of them, no one in their family has joined the army, and no one has served in the military government. When we moved to Guangdong this time, many of them came with us. You can go and ask. "
"Sir, we Guangdong people can also participate in these companies."
"Yes, regardless of these original factories and mines, our Xuebingjun will open many more companies. In terms of technology, our Xuebingjun R&D Institute will be fully responsible. There is a gap in funds, so I want to rely on you."
Perhaps Ouyang Yun's approachability gave everyone courage. Another person stood up and asked bluntly: "Sir, I heard that when your army cooperates with businessmen, they all require land as shares. In fact, it is a disguised form. To engage in agrarian revolution, I want to ask, is this really the case?"
Ouyang Yun smiled. He knew that someone finally couldn't help but throw out this bomb. It seemed that the trick he had planned before was working. He glanced at everyone and saw uneasy emotions in some people's eyes. They deliberately pondered. After a while, everyone's appetite was whetted, and then he said: "As for the land issue, because our army's policy goal is to prevent anyone from starving to death, freezing to death, or dying of illness within the jurisdiction, so land reform is imperative."
Before he could finish his words, the people below started shouting loudly, and many people began to whisper among each other. Most of them felt uneasy.
"Everyone, be quiet. I haven't finished speaking yet." Ouyang Yun had expected such a scene before. He immediately waved his hand to silence everyone and continued: "The purpose of our land reform is to never let anyone People have suffered losses because of this matter. I will personally draft an official letter in the name of the Chief Executive of the Xuebingjun Autonomous Government to guarantee this. Therefore, if any of you do not want to change the current land status, don’t worry at all. Xuebingjun is a As a civilized army, our guns will always be pointed at invaders and enemies, not our own people."
After he said this, many people applauded under the leadership of a certain smart person.
Waving his hands to silence everyone again, Ouyang Yun said: "But I want to make it clear that in this land reform, those who actively cooperate with the government will definitely have unexpected gains." He glanced at the audience again and saw that many people had excited eyes. , he smiled and said: "Some people can't help but ask, what kind of gains will there be? Please forgive me for being too vague here. The government is about to introduce a series of policies related to land reform. The key point is to make the current People who hold a large amount of land in the world will get the greatest benefit from this reform. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must actively respond to the government’s call. If you are holding on to the land in your hands and are unwilling to change, then there is nothing I can do to help. I finally emphasize One point, during this land reform, if anyone dares to do evil in the name of the Xuebingjun, please notify me in time. I hereby solemnly promise that such incidents will be severely punished."
