In the first stage of the Guangdong-Guangxi campaign, the focus of the operation was on the west and middle roads of Guangdong, especially ensuring the capture of prefectures and counties in the Pearl River Delta region.
After completing the task of occupying the Pearl River Delta, the First Marine Expeditionary Team was immediately transferred to Hong Kong and cooperated with the Navy to launch an amphibious operation against Chaoshan. The troops of the Guangdong Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Army on Nan'ao Island were annihilated.
4. Use of force
The army strength used to implement this operation: 6 battalions of field infantry, 12 companies of field artillery, 2 companies of siege artillery, 3 companies of engineers and other directly subordinate units of the required army as the backbone. The distribution and use areas of the troops
Bookings are as follows:
Middle Route Army, 1st Brigade: With two camps as the backbone, it fought on the Guangdong Middle Route on the Guangzhou side, and its final advance point was Lechang in northern Guangdong.
Left Route Army: 2nd Brigade: With 3 battalions as the backbone, it fought on the Guangxi West Route near Wuzhou, Zhaoqing. The final advance point was Wuzhou at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Right Route Army: 3rd Brigade: With 2 battalions (one of which will be incorporated after completing other combat tasks) as the backbone, it will cooperate with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Team to fight on the Chaoshan side of Guangdong East Road. The final advance point is Fujian and Guangdong
Xianxia Ridge on the border.
Naval strength: all the First Fleet of the Navy, all the Coast Guard Sanya Garrison Area and Kaohsiung Garrison Area. A new Pearl River Task Force is also established.
The First Fleet was stationed in Kaohsiung and launched powerful patrols along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to deter the Netherlands and Spain from possible military intervention to implement a comprehensive suppression of the Zheng Group in Xiamen.
If the Dutch encounter armed interference during the operation, war will begin. Immediately
The Sanya and Kaohsiung garrison fleets cooperate with the patrol and blockade operations of the First Fleet.
The Pearl River Task Force is responsible for fire support and troop transportation for Pearl River inland river operations.
National Army strength
The Guangdong National Army Training Corps is formed with the basic militiamen of the Farm Reclamation Hong Kong Regiment as the backbone. It will serve as the basic seed of the future National Army in various counties in Guangdong.
Korean team: 4 companies of the White Horse team.
Japanese team: 2 companies.
Limiao Mountain Auxiliary Infantry: 3 companies.
Troops directly under the General Staff
Special Reconnaissance Brigade of the General Reconnaissance Bureau: 2 detachments.
The Army, Navy and Joint Logistics Command established a joint forward command in Hong Kong to uniformly command overall military operations.
Next, is the outline of the administrative implementation plan for the occupied areas.
The total area of the parts of Guangdong and Guangxi to be captured is about 25 square kilometers, with a population of about 10 million. The administrative management of these areas must closely follow the operations. The joint meeting decided on the following administrative implementation plan for the occupied areas.
"Administrative Implementation Essentials of the Areas Occupied by Guangdong and Guangxi"
First policy
Temporarily implement military control over the occupied areas to restore public order, quickly obtain important defense resources, and ensure supplies for combat troops.
The second essential
1. When implementing military control, the remaining governing institutions and organizations should be temporarily used. As long as they can play their basic civil functions, they should not be changed easily.
2. The duration of military control depends on the local security situation and the reception capacity of the civil affairs department. The basic policy is to stabilize one place and accept the other. The specific timetable will be designated by the civil affairs chief appointed by the Senate.
3. The trophies obtained in the occupied areas should be seized first, and then counted and registered by the personnel of the special search team of the Planning Institute accompanying the army, reported to the joint logistics forward, and incorporated into the overall material plan. As for the materials required for the combat troops to replenish supplies locally, according to
The above-mentioned distribution plan shall be allocated in the accounts. The army and navy shall provide maximum convenience for the materials shipped back under the orders of the Planning Institute.
4. Post stations, post roads, major bridges, docks, official offices, official warehouses, free warehouses, etc. are managed by the occupying forces.
Fifth, the occupying forces manage trade and exchange, especially to prevent important resources from flowing into enemy-occupied areas.
Sixth, in principle, the occupying forces should try to use the original local currency or use physical objects recognized by the local people for exchange. In emergencies, circulation coupons can be used to pay, but the exchange principles must be made clear, and the amount and location used must be reported to the Planning Institute for future use.
Exchange and recycle. The occupying army itself can also recycle on its own when supplies are abundant.
7. Except for the property owned by Ming government officials, which is clearly listed as the property of "rebels" and hostile elements carrying out armed resistance, the property of general gentry, businessmen, landlords and ordinary people is protected and is not allowed to be confiscated at will. Now
Pay according to price for local transfer.
8. When in contact with powerful local factions such as gentry, clan chiefs, big businessmen, etc., they should be guided to cooperate with the military control we have implemented. Appropriate measures should be taken for those who are unwilling to cooperate to ensure that they do not interfere with our actions.
9. Strict military discipline and strictly handle various disciplinary cases. Appropriate relief can be provided to local people to enhance the people's goodwill towards the Senate.
10. Military control agencies will gradually be merged, adjusted or taken over by new agencies established by the government.
The civil affairs department has a complete set of plans for taking over local political power. Since the number of civil affairs cadres who are naturalized citizens is a drop in the bucket for Guangdong as a whole, the Government Affairs Council adopts a segmented and segmented approach to social transformation when formulating a specific takeover plan.
The entire province of Guangdong is divided into several regions. The first step is to carry out social transformation in the core area, which is the fifteen counties and one state under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. This area will undergo comprehensive social transformation and be completely "reborn."
Establish the modern administrative structure and social structure currently implemented in Lingao; replace the original subordinate staff with reliable naturalized civilian cadres - except for a few people who can be educated and retained, all will be purged.
Next is the appeasement area, which is generally a state or county with a developed economy, strategic pharmacies or transportation hubs. This area first establishes relatively complete county-level institutions, focuses on transforming towns in the county, and adopts a gradual transformation in which cities gradually radiate to rural areas.
Radical social transformation will be carried out when the time is ripe.
Finally, there is the public security area, which includes all prefectures and counties that are not core areas and non-appeasement areas. For these prefectures and counties, the policy of maintaining the status quo is temporarily adopted, continuing the past Ming Dynasty official model of not sending power to the countryside, and focusing administrative attention on suppressing armed rebellion, expropriating
In terms of taxation, levying labor force and obtaining local resources, it does not affect the local social order.
In the public security areas, we should make full use of the original ruling institutions and administrative personnel. We may make full use of those old officials and local gentry who are willing to join the Senate and have a good reputation. We can also appoint them to major administrative positions such as county magistrates as a transitional policy.
.
However, in the core areas and appeasement areas, one must be cautious in the appointment of old officials and gentry, and they are generally not allowed to be appointed to important leadership positions.
The number of naturalized civilian cadres needed to take over Guangdong, according to estimates before the establishment of the new regime when TG began to fully take over the Kuomintang-controlled areas at the end of the Liberation War, the Central Bureau, district party committees, prefectural committees, county committees, district committees, etc. were needed for 500 counties.
There are about 53,000 cadres at the fifth level and in big cities. Corresponding to a population of 160 million, there is about one cadre for every 3,000 people, and there are less than 100 people in a county.
Now the Government Affairs Council is roughly configured according to this standard. Since the population in the 17th century was much smaller than that in the 20th century, and the local administrative system of the Senate adopts a two-level system of generals, roads, counties, and towns (townships), there is no longer a government or town allocation system.
At the "prefecture and city" level, the number of cadres required is even smaller.
The core area of Guangzhou Prefecture has 15 counties and 1 prefecture. Calculated based on 100 cadres in one county, 1,600 people are needed. The remaining counties also need to be equipped with 10 to 30 cadres depending on the situation. A rough calculation of the 7 prefectures and 75 counties in Guangdong requires approximately 1,600 people.
There are 4,000 cadres.
The transfer of 4,000 local cadres will put a little more pressure on the Senate. Before the national victory, tg had established local governments in hundreds of counties and had a large number of local cadres. As long as a part of each county is transferred, most needs can be met, and
It can also accept old staff and recruit new cadres from students in Kuomintang-controlled areas. Although the Senate has established county-level political power throughout the island of Hainan, most of the counties in Hainan have very small populations. Most counties have a population of less than 10,000, and administrative affairs are extremely limited.
, the cadre allocation is naturally small. Except for several large populous counties in Lingao, Qiongshan, Danzhou, and Wenchang, most counties on the island can transfer very few local cadres. Fortunately, Lingao has staff from various central ministries and commissions.
The number of people is quite large, and some of them can be transferred to strengthen local cadres.
As for accepting old staff, the subordinate staff class is a special class that is completely degenerate and decadent. Most of the senators are very uneasy about them. Moreover, except for a few, their local administrative skills are incompatible with the modern local administrative system of the Senate.
It is said to be completely useless. The Ming Dynasty also had no students with modern primary and secondary education to recruit. The old intellectuals were scarce and their knowledge system was incompatible with modern civilization. It was of little significance to supplement the cadre team.
In order to raise these cadres, in addition to transferring 1,200 naturalized cadres from counties, central agencies and state-owned enterprises, 300 older elementary school students from Fangcaodi Academy were selected for immediate graduation and transferred to various
The agency serves as an administrative intern and is trained as a cadre going north.
Recruit 500 men and women from the society who hold a junior primary school diploma or a B or C diploma to implement crash administrative training. If it is not possible to recruit enough qualified personnel, it will be relaxed to include those who are illiterate, but they must be in the 25th
Under 1 year old.
All personnel in the army and navy who are older, have poor military quality, and have poor physical fitness will be retired and replenished into local cadres to serve as armed cadres in preparation for deployment. This group of personnel includes approximately four to five hundred people.
In addition, local staff who originally worked for the Guangzhou Station can also be converted into local cadres. There are about two to three hundred people in this group.
After comprehensive calculation, it is roughly possible to prepare about 3,000 cadres for the Guangdong and Guangxi strategies. This can basically meet the cadre allocation needs of the core areas and appeasement areas in the first phase. (To be continued...)
