Bodies scattered everywhere will cause plague if left unburied, and scattered weapons are also a potential threat. After the war in Wuzhou, many weapons, armor, staffs, and firearms were abandoned by officers and soldiers outside the city and could be seen almost everywhere. A large number of ordnances were scattered and scattered, which was harmful to the new situation.
It is a potential threat to the government and must be seized as soon as possible. In addition, his current weak military situation also urgently needs some supplements. One of Zhu Quanxing's battalions can manage the security work of several counties in Wuzhou Prefecture, and it is difficult to cover everything.
The final topic is to repair the city wall and some infrastructure inside and outside the city. The battle in Wuzhou was not actually fierce, but both sides invested a lot of firepower, especially the army's artillery and navy detachments, almost treating the Wuzhou battlefield as actual combat training
, a large number of artillery shells were poured into and around Wuzhou City, seriously damaging Wuzhou's city defense facilities. Now they must be restored.
In addition, there are two important transportation hubs outside Wuzhou City. One is the Guijiang Floating Bridge erected on the Guijiang River, leading to the Sanhezui University Campus, and the other is the Canglong Floating Bridge erected on the Xijiang River. These two pontoon bridges talk about
The east, west and south banks of Wuzhou are connected, making Wuzhou's internal and external transportation very convenient.
Now these two pontoon bridges were destroyed during the siege, traffic was interrupted, and it was very inconvenient to travel from place to place.
Xie Erren made a rough calculation and found that, not counting the sewage system he planned, the repair project alone would be enough to keep him busy for the first half of the year. As for the money and food he would spend, let alone the "big fundraiser for the aftermath" alone.
I can't cope with it at all.
After holding a meeting to improve the outcome, Xie Erren also convened a meeting of cadres of naturalized people.
There are very few naturalized cadres in Wuzhou. Except for Zhao Toyota, the secretary of the municipal office who he regarded as his right-hand man, and Qian Duo, commander of the 7th company of the 3rd battalion battle infantry, there are only 20 naturalized cadres. These cadres
Most of them were promoted and trained from among the naturalized cadres in the areas governed by the Senate. Most of them were from Guangdong, but also from Shandong and Hainan. After being incorporated into the Qiongya detachment, they received special training and were able to at least communicate in Cantonese.
Now these people gathered together to listen to Xie Erren's "instructions".
Xie Erren looked at this group of old and young, men and women who were naturalized civilian cadres, and felt a little guilty - he had some idea of the quality of these cadres going north: most of them were from rural grassroots cadres, and only a few were deployed from the administrative department.
or veterans.
Xie Erren has no idea about the level of these cadres. But at the moment, there is no one who is more useful and reliable than them.
"Comrades!" He cleared his throat, "Wuzhou has been recovered - this is all the result of our heroic army and navy officers and soldiers of the Fubo Army - as the first batch of cadres to take over Wuzhou, we rely on the guns of the Fubo Army
It is not unusual for you to enter a city: if you want to be able to enter, you must also be able to sit and stay."
After saying this, Xie Erren suddenly felt a little more confident.
"Before coming here, everyone has read the booklet "Wuzhou Summary" compiled by the Foreign Intelligence Service. It lists the detailed social conditions of Wuzhou City and surrounding areas. This will be an important reference book for us in future work. I hope
Everyone should read more when they are free - only by understanding the specific situation can we start work."
Then he arranged a few things to be done at the moment. Once cities in the Pearl River Delta and other places such as Guangzhou are recovered, the first task of the local governors and local officials who receive them is to check household registrations and establish industrial and commercial registration information and other constructive political systems.
Work. However, the situation in Wuzhou is different from these places - Wuzhou is a "frontline city", and safety is the first priority. Therefore, the work he assigned is also centered on the issue of "safety".
The specific work is roughly the same as what was just handed over to the aftermath bureau. Xie Erren will assign the work of each contract area to the naturalized cadres, asking them to supervise and supervise the relevant work of the aftermath bureau at all times. Several more cadres are designated to be responsible for this.
Lead the labor team to remove corpses and rubble.
Because the national army allocated to Wuzhou had not yet arrived, Xie Erren was eager to expand his force, so he decided to recruit experienced and reliable militiamen from the surrendered local guardsmen to form a militia, led by soldiers from the Fubo Army.
His plan was to allocate a platoon from the company with more money, and one soldier to lead ten militiamen to form a militia team of 300 people. The remaining regular army would not move and serve as a mobile force.
"...Do you think this is difficult?" Xie Erren asked how much money there was.
"There is no difficulty. It's just that the soldiers use rifles. The militiamen don't have rifles and can only use spears and swords. If there is a war, we will lose the firepower of thirty rifles."
Thirty soldiers were dispersed among 300 militiamen to serve as commanders. They could not be concentrated into a platoon to concentrate the firepower. This loss was a bit big. After all, there were only 100 guns in Wuzhou city.
"The militia can be equipped with some bows and arrows and old-style firearms, with at least 300 more people."
There were only one hundred men in the 7th company, which was obviously not enough to be responsible for the defense and security of the entire Wuzhou City, so he did not express any objection. After all, he didn't know when the National Army would arrive, and even if it did come, it would only be one squadron.
In order to further enrich the force in his hands, Xie Erren decided to take over all the three squads of government officials from Wuzhou Prefecture and County Yamen. Although the three squads of Zao, Kuai, and Zhuang have different responsibilities, they are generally biased towards public security work.
Although these are not very practical, I am finally familiar with the local situation, and at least I can deal with the immediate security work first.
All the various details were implemented one by one, and finally Xie Erren informed Zhao Toyota: a publicity team should be organized immediately.
Xie Erren himself is a journalist, and he is most familiar with and values propaganda work.
"Chief! Don't worry about the propaganda team." Zhao Toyota said, "The officials from this county who have surrendered outside are waiting to see you. They have been waiting for most of the day."
"Since they have surrendered, why are they anxious? There is always a place for them to get their wages." Xie Erren was impatient and took out a few pages of paper from his briefcase, "This is a plan I wrote, you want
Get all the people and equipment needed as soon as possible.”
Zhao Toyota took it over and took a look at the details of the plan! Organization establishment, number of personnel, number of men and women, and all the technical requirements, including brooms and lime buckets for painting slogans; rough paper and pen and ink for writing slogans
Everything is listed clearly one by one. The plan of the leader of Xindao is really good!
However, upon further inspection, some of the requirements were difficult to handle because they also involved a "propaganda team."
Zhao Toyota, the so-called propaganda team, knows nothing more than organizing a group of men and women who can play, play, and sing to go around singing or performing "living newspaper dramas" to promote policies - this is a very common form of propaganda in Hainan. Every county
They all have a propaganda team. They have only been in Wuzhou for a few days, so where can they find these "professionals" who play, play, and sing? Besides, it's hard to say whether people are willing to "propaganda" for them.
Finally, there is a "coverage target". Looking down, there are short-term goals - within seven days; medium-term goals within 15 days, and long-term goals of 30 days. The slogan coverage rate must be achieved in three stages.
How many times should the cultural propaganda team make presentations, and how many people should participate in the presentations...
He murmured: "Chief! These things are not difficult, but they are not urgent tasks, especially for this propaganda team..."
"For the propaganda team, you just need to find a few more educated people from the refugees. They are just writing anyway," said Xie Erren. He felt that Zhao Toyota did not understand the significance of propaganda work deeply enough. He said sincerely: "Propaganda work is our civil affairs work.
The key point is, don’t look at it and think that it is something that has no results. Most of the local people in Wuzhou only know our name and don’t know our origins. Some people probably think that we are pirates who came ashore to rob their homes.
, is very detrimental to our work, and also gives us an opportunity to discredit us. Besides, after we enter the city, we will have a series of administrative measures, which must be widely advertised so that the people know..."
Zhao Toyota nodded repeatedly, saying that the leader has a far-sighted and comprehensive view, and he will definitely handle it. However, he still reminded the leader that the "surrender" outside is still waiting.
"Then let them all come in." Xie Erren said in a good mood.
Since both the prefect and the county magistrate have committed suicide, there are no particularly valuable officials among Wuzhou's "reigning people". Most of them are at the top of the local government office's staff, and the highest they can do is to teach or teach.
Xie Erren had been in the meeting for too long and had no interest in talking to them anymore. He made a few perfunctory remarks and asked them to "do their business with all their heart" and told them to "dismissal."
When the meeting was over, he suddenly remembered something and told Zhao Toyota: "No matter where you are tomorrow, find someone who is very familiar with the local situation to be your guide. I want to inspect Wuzhou City."
"I know, Chief!" Zhao Toyota said, "This candidate is ready, I will arrange it right now!"
After receiving the "surrender", it was almost dusk. Xie Erren rested in the magistrate's office that night. The back office lit a bright kerosene lamp and set up tables and chairs. Because this was the first time in many days that things were going right.
Bajing lived in the house, so Xie Erren's life secretary was particularly flattering, and the dinner was very sumptuous.
Wuzhou is a commercial port in Guangdong and Guangxi, with prosperous commerce, and is very particular about food and clothing. Although it is now the Ming Dynasty, many famous dishes in Wuzhou in later generations have not yet come out - such as paper-wrapped chicken, crispy dogs, etc., but some famous local products are
Already. The government office is naturally prepared. Knowing that he hasn’t eaten properly for a long time, the life secretary specially cooked it carefully: Wuzhou paper-wrapped chicken uses local three-yellow chicken, which has a fresh and mellow taste, and the rice used for cooking is also made from Mongolia.
Sticky rice with mountain oil. It was hard to find fresh vegetables because of the war, so I managed to scrape together a few vegetables.
Xie Erren has hardly had a good meal since he landed in Guangdong. This time he had a feast. Seeing the beauty cuddling next to him, he thought that he was also a "Hou Lihou", and he didn't realize that he was born like this when he was a man.
sense of satisfaction.
