Shanghai Wusongkou, which is shrouded in the morning.
An Yi held the telescope, and looked at the flat shawl, Chongbao Sand, Headsha, Duck Wo Sand Island in the heart of the river. These islands were extremely small with Chongming Island.
In the vast Yangtze River port, it is lush and pleasing to the eye.
An Yi turned around, held the telescope, looked back at Yang Xing, Luojian, Yuepu Third Fortress, a cold -colored reinforced concrete forest, and a 203mm -caliber of the door, and the black paint was raised.
The paint mouth of the paint brings a sense of compression.
Thinking of all this was created by himself, An Yi couldn't help raising a hint of heroic feelings.
At this time, Yang Jie was overlooking the Fortress of Pudong, and said with emotion: "Every time I come to Shanghai, I have to see these fortresses. They are the cost of competing with Japan.
The cities along the coast are so solid, and the place where the plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can be preserved. Looking back, if Xiaoyi reprimanded huge sums of money, I am afraid that Nanjing is still in a panic at any time. Where is the current tranquility? "
"Geng Guang has a reputation!"
An Yi said humblely: "This is what everyone should do. I just do my best. By the way, Brother Geng Guang, these days, we have penetrated into the urban and rural inspection. What are the gains?
"
"Unexpectedly, the countryside was so trapped!"
Yang Jie only felt a boredom in his heart, put down the telescope, and turned to look at An Yi: "This year's food is obviously a big harvest. Why are farmers still be in the event of being? The villages we have visited.
The gentleman seems to be completely affected at all, and it is rational! "
An Yi sighed: "This Jiangnan Group has been specially studied. The central government purchased a large number of rice in the market to supply the needs of the army. At the same time, due to the abuse of the government's currency, severe inflation, a large number of accumulation and speculation, thereby thus.
Explosion, urban residents, government officials, teachers and workers, buy a large amount of rice to prevent food shortage and higher prices. At the same time, landlords and businessmen store rice and do not invest in the market.
The further shortage of food shortage has hurt the morale of the people, and it has begun to make it difficult for the government to obtain necessities.
"The big landlord has obtained huge profits from the rising price, but most of the farmers, whether they are small self -cultivation farmers or households, have not shared the benefits of this upward, because they rarely have rice to sell on the market. They except for them except for them except
In addition to paying land rent and harsh donations, leaving self -use food can only persist for more than half a year, and the rest of the time can be eaten by wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains.
The farmers sold less than 20 %, and farmers usually sell some miscellaneous grains -sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., but selling these things will not improve their difficulties.
"In this regard, the fact that it should be noted carefully is that those farmers who have the remaining rice that can be sold rarely profit from the rise in the rise, because they usually have to be sold soon after the harvest, and the rice at that time of rice at that time, the rice of the rice at that time
The price is quite low. In the Danyang, Taicang and other places we passed, the farmers there will sell them 90 % of their preparations for the rice. Compared with them, compared to
The big landlord has a sufficient family to ensure that their family lives for a few months. They accumulate rice and do not enter the market. It is not until the increasing inventory on the market prompts the price to rise. "
Yang Jie suddenly said: "No wonder, I said why farmers are completely displeased after a good harvest. It turns out that the root cause is here."
"It's not just speculation and inflation that have made people's livelihood difficult, more and more national taxes are now being shared equally with farmers, and the exploitation of landlords is also becoming increasingly serious."
Chen Yu, Major General Director of the General Affairs Department and Director of the Nanjing Intelligence Station, who accompanied An Yi on his visit, said: "According to the investigation of our Fourth Department, farmers bear a heavy burden. In the second half of this year, landlords used rising food prices and tax increases as excuses.
Land contracts were renegotiated with tenants. On the one hand, they increased the absolute amount of land rent, and on the other hand, landowners who had hitherto imposed monetary rents now began to insist on
Land rent must be paid with grain, because in comparison, grain is more valuable and safer than the depreciating currency. Tenants generally complain that landlords require them to pay part of the increasing land tax or increase their rent.
Deposits, when tenants objected to increases in land rents, deposits and taxes, landlords replaced them with farmers who were willing to pay higher extortion rates, causing conflicts in the countryside to become increasingly acute.
"As a result of these various economic trends, conflicts between landowners and tenants have become increasingly common. Some tenants have been evicted from their leased land, and those who have remained have agreed to pay high rents.
They feel the decline of their economic status - middle-class farmers are often reduced to the status of poor peasants, and poor farmers are reduced to the status of wage laborers.
status. Land taxes, reduced production, unfavorable price relations and increases in land rent have obviously damaged the economic status of most farmers. However, various government taxes and levies - including taxes, donations, borrowings, requisitions, conscription and labor, etc.
form, but placed a heavy burden on farmers, which deeply affected farmers' attitude towards the central government.
"In addition, there are a frightening amount of assessments passed on to farmers, such as the 'donation of straw sandals for new recruits' tax, the 'condolences to military families' tax, the 'air defense cadre training' tax, the 'garrison fuel' tax, etc. There are also bonds for national salvation.
, telegraph poles, road construction, rice and grain subsidies for teachers, school equipment, food and oil for the guardian meeting, administrative subsidy for the guardian
Today, the taxes and fees levied on military family members’ funeral expenses are almost breathless. Some of these taxes are quite large, and some are relatively small. About a quarter of the taxes are collected by the central and provincial governments.
Set by the government, slightly less than a quarter of the taxes were set up by local gentry and religious organizations, and more than half were set up by village and Baojia leaders.”
Yang Jie said worriedly: "I know something about this. Among all taxes, it is said that the collection of funds and supplies for the army is the heaviest burden. Previously, we visited Changshu County and heard the county magistrate complain: Army generals often
Order the county government to provide funds without considering how the money comes from. In addition, the garrison often needs
When asking for pigs, chickens, firewood, feed, tools, building materials, etc., the only way to solve the problem is to issue new allocations. The military sometimes pays for the requisitioned food, but only a fraction of the market price.
.... Alas, the current National Government is falling at an unprecedented speed!"
An Yi shook his head: "The war has only entered its second year. If the central government can detect these problems in time and carry out reforms like Jiangxi did, it will not be difficult to resolve the increasingly prominent contradictions. But look, now even the chairman's son is engaged in reforms
, also received huge criticism, and even more
Don’t blame others! I dare to say that if the current situation is not reversed as soon as possible and reforms are carried out in the countryside, the situation will continue to worsen before long. As the accumulated contradictions in the countryside become larger and larger, farmers will surely be pushed to the point of collapse.
If you go against the government, it will be too late to regret it.”
"This is also an important reason why I want to leave. There is no hope for the future of the party-state!"
Yang Jie was full of melancholy: "Although the Chairman is aware of the various shortcomings of the party-state, he doesn't have many ideas on how to save it. Let's take party affairs as an example. In the past history, from the Tongmenghui, the Communist Party, the Chinese Revolutionary Party, to
The former Prime Minister of the Communist Party of China has changed the party name and reorganized the party affairs many times. On average, a major reform was carried out every six years.
Reorganization. Nowadays, the party-state has long been seriously ill, and it is difficult to achieve success without injecting strong medicine. However, the route chosen by the Chairman in the end is not to carry out drastic and thorough transformation of the aging and decayed party organizations, but to outside the old party institutions.
, started anew and reorganized a new organization with the form of a political party - the Three People's Principles Youth League.
"In my opinion, this actually repeats the mistakes of the previous organization Lixingshe. The only difference is that Lixingshe is a secret organization, while the Three Youth League is an open organization. The pre-war 'Party Party'
The relatively hidden vicious secret struggle with the 'social side' will soon be inherited and continued by the open contest between the 'party side' and the 'league side', with endless troubles!"
An Yi didn't expect that Yang Jie would suddenly get involved in party affairs. He thought about it and said: "Although the Three Youth League was officially established in early July, the actual preparations began after the Xi'an Incident. At that time, the principal believed that the party-state was too deeply entrenched.
, it is difficult to recover and cannot be completely transformed.
"I had a special discussion with the principal about this. The principal said that *** has lost its appeal to the people across the country, especially the younger generation. In this case, the principal envisioned the establishment of a new organization mainly targeting young people.
It is hoped that through this organization, the younger generation who are disgusted with the party-state will be attracted again, and this new organization will be given the important responsibility of reforming the party-state's accumulated abuses.
"Let me tell you a true story. During the formation process of the Three Youth League, when the name of the new organization was discussed, Chen Lifu suggested to the principal that the name of the 'Three People's Principles Youth League' should be preceded by 'China ***'
"Five words, the principal immediately reprimanded me and said that if you have these five words, people will not come. I think it is better to use the Three People's Principles to appeal, and to use my name to appeal."
Yang Jie thoughtfully said: "I once listened to a speech by the Chairman. He said: Originally, the Chinese revolution was led by the Communist Party of China. As long as the Communist Party of China can be revived, there is no need to set up another Youth League; even if there is an organization
If necessary, the Youth League can also be attached to the ***. But why do we need to re-establish this Three People's Principles Youth League now? It is because our *** has been depressed and disorganized in the past few years and has become a difficult problem.
The current situation, regardless of spiritual discipline, is extremely decadent. It can be said that the party headquarters has become a yamen, and party members have become bureaucrats. No matter how hard we try to reform, we cannot completely reform it! Before the party is completely reformed,
, if young people are recruited into it, it will only harm the youth and not help the revolution, so a separate youth league must be established to organize promising young people so that they can take on the cause of the Chinese revolution!"
An Yi nodded and took over the conversation: "Another important consideration for the principal's establishment of the Three Youth League is to unify the various factions within the party. Especially when the principal's leadership position in the party is officially established and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party resolutely
After pledging cooperation, several secret factional organizations established before the war with *** as their central goal have completed their phased tasks. The vicious internal friction between these factions made the principal feel the need for unification."
Chen Yu frowned: "This is just taking off your pants and farting - unnecessary. According to common sense, the chairman of the committee can order all factions to stop their activities and unite under the banner of the party and state. Now they have come up with so many tricks. It's tiring.
Aren’t you tired?”
"You don't understand this!"
An Yi raised his left hand and shook his index finger: "The party-state machine has long been controlled and monopolized by the CC clique, and it is difficult for other factions to get involved. In other words, in people's current perception, the Communist Party has long become a party of the CC clique. If
In order to unify other factions in this way, other factions will inevitably feel like being absorbed by the CC faction. In addition, the benefits will be unevenly distributed, and it will be difficult to integrate them. The principal believes that only by establishing a new organization to absorb all factions, will all factions be convinced.
"I'm afraid you don't know that before the establishment of the Three Youth League, the principal had an important plan to unify political parties other than the ***. The principal once made it clear to Director Zhou that if the *** was willing to merge with the ***
, the name of *** can be cancelled, the party’s organizational charter can be modified, it is said that young people
The Party and the National Socialist Party have expressed that they can accept or consider it. After asking for instructions from the Central Committee, Director Zhou made it clear that cooperation is possible, but merger is not necessary. This proposal failed. The establishment of the Three Youth League initially also implied the establishment of a new organization to
Expressing intention to merge with other parties and attempts to attract other parties to participate.”
Yang Jie looked at An Yi in surprise: "Are you saying that the Chairman has ever thought about merging with the Communist Party of China?"
An Yi nodded solemnly: "Yes, the principal was very profound about the scenes before and during the Northern Expedition. He believed that the spirit and fighting spirit of the CCP could be used to reform the sluggish Communist Party. Unfortunately, the CCP rejected it. The principal
In desperation, we can only hope that the Three Youth League can bring the pioneering spirit of *** and reshape a new revolutionary image.
"As one of the founders of the Three Youth League, I listened to the principal's speech many times at last year's preparatory meeting. In several internal speeches, the principal repeatedly emphasized that the party-state has become old and corrupt, and severely criticized various shortcomings within the party.
, and encouraged and reminded the Three Youth League to take *** as a warning and never
We must not repeat the same mistakes. The principal initially revealed that he wanted to give the Three Youth League a leadership role in the revolutionary mission, and he seemed to be replacing ***. In the principal's words, *** almost became a corrupt and declining figure.
It was a negative teaching material, and the Three Youth League was given the role of a new revolutionary group."
Yang Jie shook his head repeatedly: "The Chairman's move is extremely inappropriate. If my estimate is correct, the party-state will fall into a deeper and muddier factional struggle in the future and will be unable to extricate itself..."
"Woo——"
Before Yang Jie finished speaking, a ship's whistle sounded from the river bank. Shen Fengdao pointed to the Huangpu River: "Xiaoyi, the boat to pick us up is here."
An Yi turned around and saw a 500-ton gunboat docked on the shore with the Flying Fox flag flying. He lowered his head and raised his wrist to look at his watch and said in surprise: "Time flies so fast, we should get on the ship."
... This visit to Shanghai is not just to visit these fortresses. The 'Huangpujiang' class destroyer produced by Jiangnan Shipyard embodies the hope of our navy. The launching ceremony cannot be missed under any circumstances!"
Yang Jie said with a smile: "Four destroyers were launched from the four dry docks of Jiangnan Factory at the same time. This spectacular scene is really unimaginable. I can't say I will just see it this time!"
An Yi held Yang Jie's hand and walked side by side: "Currently, various shipyards in Nanhua are busy producing, ranging from destroyers, submarines to cruisers. When he arrives in Nanhua in the future, General Geng Guang will have plenty of time to attend such a ceremony. I'm afraid
You will be bored in the future!"
Yang Jie laughed loudly: "The number of naval battleships is a symbol of a country's strength. You will never see enough of it..."
