Chapter 331 Spring in the North (1)
Zhao Tianlin tried his best to imagine what a situation would be like, but he could only have a general imagination.
The policy of redeeming all private land for ten years is not complicated. The land ownership within the customs is nothing more than state-owned and private ownership. The land ownership under the Northeast government is collectively owned and state-owned. Once the full redemption is made, the state uses money to acquire all land ownership from the collective and individuals. Since then, there has been no private land in China.
If the state owns all land ownership, it can naturally plan and use the land as it wants. This is a very good foundation for centralized industrialized countries. When the people get land bonds, if the land is small, they will pay directly. If the land is large, they will be given ten-year bonds and paid in installments.
When I studied for a Ph.D. in Law in the United States, Zhao Tianlin still felt that it was too radical. "Chairman, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. Do we have so many people to do so much work?"
He Rui admires Zhao Tianlin's calmness very much. Of course, this may also be due to age. Zhao Tianlin is 37 years old and Wu Youping is 30 years old. After all, there is a gap of 7 years. Being calm means being more understandable. Of course, it may also be more unacceptable. But what He Rui needs is the support of his comrades, so he has to make it clear.
"Many policies cannot be entangled in one way. Please understand what we are saying next separately. After liberating the whole of China, we need to implement industrial layout in the whole of China. Start by using these industrial layouts, and first promote land redemption in agricultural production areas and areas affected by industrial industry. Land redemption in other areas is completed by the state based on different geographical conditions and corresponding industrial layout."
"The industrial industry needs to be purchased by people. Our market is now very weak, and people have no money to buy industrial products. After the people obtain the right to use the land, they need to purchase means of production to complete production. They need 1 money."
"The Northeast government's finances have long been ineffective on the books. In fact, it has frozen a lot of economic activities through the general mobilization in the war. 1 Once these activities are restored, the currency that needs to be paid is repaid and the product prices are restored, the amount of money on the market will increase. Although the industrial product production capacity is also increasing, it cannot keep up with the increase in currency, and there will inevitably be a considerable degree of inflation. At that time, the Northeast government will encounter a huge economic crisis. Only by hedging assets with currency can we stabilize the economy and people's mentality."
"In extreme cases, a country can only exist in a state of government, people, production and distribution, and completely exclude market operations. But this is an extreme case. The efficiency of the market itself is only reflected in short-term and medium-term pursuit of interests. Under normal circumstances, the market is also necessary. Even if the market economy itself causes huge problems in social fairness, this is a problem that politics needs to solve, and the market itself needs to exist."
After talking about more important issues, He Rui made a request to Zhao Tianlin, "In the moment when these situations exist together, the law needs to provide legal support and services for these things."
Zhao Tianlin's mind was filled with legal fields related to these issues. Just trying to determine the scope of application of different laws, Zhao Tianlin felt that he could not understand it. He finally gave up thinking about the law and tried to figure out a way of thinking. Finally, he felt that he had gained something, "Chairman, are you trying to use land redemption to solve these problems?"
He Rui waved his hand, "I just emphasized that these policies cannot be entangled in one way, and must be understood separately. These are all problems to be solved, not our direction. Our direction is to increase China's total industrial and agricultural output value by 5 times through two five-year plans after the national liberation, and strive to complete various supporting social service systems."
Zhao Tianlin then realized that the Northeast government was developing extremely rapidly, and it increased by more than 10 times in the past eight years. However, Zhao Tianlin did not think that the development of the entire China could be so fast, because the development of the Northeast was a set of military heavy industrial system under the special circumstances of the European War. The Russian Civil War and the Soviet-Russian stage after the Russian Civil War, which allowed this system to operate well. The Northeast government obtained a lot of resources through various trade with Russia.
The population of the entire China is more than ten times that of the Northeast, and the geographical environments of different places are very different. Copying the Northeast's experience is tantamount to carving a boat and seeking a sword.
Zhao Tianlin thought for a moment and said seriously: "Chairman, please take care of yourself. No one of us can lead the implementation of such a huge national construction and development plan except you."
He Rui was already enlightened and determined, and replied confidently: "I will do my best, and the specific work depends on my comrades."
Zhao Tianlin recalled the contents mentioned by He Rui, and felt that although land redemption is important, it is not decisive. It seems natural that many of the conditions required for policies are put together and solved by land redemption.
After land redemption, the working people who are willing to farm can still get land without paying rent. From this perspective, the land redemption will no longer have the impact of being turned over.
Seeing that Zhao Tianlin was able to accept the land redemption policy, He Rui felt that comrades should also understand it through discussion and learning. This matter was not so mysterious. The people exchanged land ownership for currency printed by the central bank, so as to use it for consumption and investment.
At this stage, the government takes "fairness" as the starting point and provides the people with land for farming and production, so that people's living standards can develop rapidly in the small commodity economy.
He Rui continued to explain: "China now has more than 11 million square kilometers of territory. Not all of these more than 11 million square kilometers of land are privately owned. There is a lot of state-owned land, and the area of unowned wasteland is larger.
Those who own private land are not qualified to enter the new era. When the blood debts that owed people, they insist on stopping China in the old era through war, will also be crushed. Most or even all of these people's land will be confiscated for free. How are these legal work prepared?"
"It's ready." Zhao Tianlin replied. After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh. Many people were destined to die in the old era, but thinking that most Chinese people would live better in the new era, Zhao Tianlin had to take on these tasks.
It was soon November 10. The staff came in and reported, "Prime Minister, Xu Shuzheng and others' troops have begun to go south."
Duan Qirui sighed, "Oh, let them go."
Seeing Duan Qirui like this, the aide did not say anything more and stepped out. Duan Qirui suddenly wanted to stop the aide, but still didn't speak.
On November 8, Duan Qirui summoned the Anhui generals and informed everyone of the arrangements for the reorganization of the Northeast Army. At this time, Duan Qirui no longer ordered his brothers to accept it, but only informed his decision to one brother. Xu Shuzheng jumped up and shouted: "General, we still have 200,000 brothers and more than 100,000 guns. Could it be that they would be surrendered if they didn't fire one gun?"
Duan Qirui did not persuade everyone at that time. Everyone was not stupid, and they were all clear-headed. They were told to let others listen to whatever they said. As long as no one followed them and became stupid, they would be honest.
However, Duan Qirui did not expect that Xu Shuzheng, the general he was most optimistic about, would also leave. In this case, the 20,000 most capable troops in the Beiyang Anhui clan had already started to move south with their equipment. Judging from their route, they were preparing to retreat to Henan first.
Duan Qirui himself was discouraged and did not want to persuade others at this time. Although he left 20,000 people and tens of thousands of people did not gather according to the location specified by He Rui, there were still 100,000 troops who could not fight the most arrived at the waiting position. He saved at least 100,000 people, and Duan Qirui felt that he was worthy of the Anhui brothers.
At 0:00 on November 11, the Northeast Army garrison in the north of Shanhaiguan went straight to the Shanghai Pass. This was already a sea of lights. All Shanhaiguan defenders in Beiyang lined up in front of the pass, and people held torches in each platoon.
Seeing the Northeast Army that was coming to take over, the Shanhaiguan Guardian Guard stepped forward to salute each other with the Northeast Army commander who came to take over. The guardian immediately handed over the matching gun. The Northeast Army commander took the matching gun, and the two saluted each other again.
The Northeast Army had set up headlights at a high place at this time. A bright headlight was on, and a piece of bright top and bottom of Shanhaiguan was bright. The torches were no longer needed and were extinguished one after another.
The troops from both sides lined up neatly. Amid the sound of the military band, the Republic of China 5-color flag on Shanhaiguan slowly landed. As the military music switched to the march of the Northeast Government, the red flag of the Northeast Government rose slowly on the flagpole.
At this time, the gate of the Northeast Army toward the south had been completely opened.
After the ceremony, the Beiyang Army troops began to hand over weapons to the Northeast government. The soldiers of the 1st team lined up in five to put their weapons into the lights of the headlights. The Shanhaiguan guards led the Northeast Army to take over the weapons and ammunition depot.
At this time, Lord Jurden, the British ambassador who had already had a sleep in the afternoon, was tired of discussing the contact issues of Xu Shuzheng and others in the Anhui faction.
There was no shortage of people in Duan Qirui's government who betrayed the news to the great powers, and Duan Qirui's surrender did not surprise Zhu Erdian. The only problem was that Duan Qirui surrendered too quickly.
"Your Excellency, we can ask Xu Shuzheng and others to lead the troops south to join Cao Kun and Wu Peifu's troops. If they must stay in Henan, they will not be able to get any support from us."
After listening to the diplomat's introduction, Zhu Erdian's slightly frown did not relax. Zhu Erdian was not sure how he should evaluate his old acquaintance Duan Qirui. Should he say that Duan Qirui is stubborn? Or should he say that Duan Qirui can see the situation clearly?
No matter which type it was, Duan Qirui refused to have an interview with Zhu Erdian. Coupled with the decisive surrender of the Anhui clan, this was not good news for the British Empire.
A young voice broke the silence, "Oh, we can ask the garrison in Hebei to stop the Northeast Army from moving south."
This statement was said, and everyone looked at the young and handsome boy with disgust. Bernard, the third-party secretary of the British Foreign Office, directly scolded: "You pour tea for everyone now."
The young boy didn't expect that he would be kicked out of the meeting for the British Empire. But no one else spoke, obviously accusing of such a request. The young British civil servant stood up aggrievedly and went out with a grievance.
Then Bernard said to everyone for Jurden: "At this time, the British Empire's garrison in North China will never leave the garrison!"
The others didn't say anything. Everyone knew very well that in the face of millions of Northeast Army, the British garrisons in North China with thousands of people could not even be able to fight. Being able to avoid conflicts in the garrison is the best choice now.
Not only did the middle-level personnel such as Jurden think so, but the British garrison who had received the warning also thought so.
In the Xin Chou Treaty, there is a provision: "The Qing Dynasty states agreed that the embassies in various countries believed that they were allowed to live in and were managed by the embassies. The Chinese people were not allowed to live in the boundary and could defend themselves." "The Chinese state agreed that the countries should be independent, and they should stay troops and separate the embassies." "The Chinese state agreed that the branches of the countries should be sponsored by the branches, and together with the discretion of several places, they should stay troops to garrison to protect the capital from the sea. The places where the countries are stationed today are: Huangcun, Lang (Lang)fang, Yangcun, Tianjin, Junliangcheng, Tanggu, Lutai, Tangshan, Luzhou, Changli, Qinhuangdao, and Shanhaiguan."
The gate of the British garrison station in Shanhaiguan was closed, and the meaning of one garrison was never to go out. There were 300 British garrisons here, and the person in charge, Major Stephen, felt that he was still safe at this stage. On the afternoon of November 10, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen specially gathered the troops, and the number of people was light, so the troops were all in the garrison, and the guards were asked to strengthen the guards and never leave the garrison.
At 6:40 am on November 11, Major Stephen was called out by his subordinates, "Major, there are many Chinese troops coming to the door!"
"Is it the Northeast Army?" Major Stephen immediately woke up.
"Yes!" replied the subordinate, "but they also brought the local police chief."
Major Stephen was stunned. The local police chief was a middle-aged man in his 40s and was very respectful to the British garrison. At this time, this guy was called. Could it be that the Northeast Army wanted to express friendship?
But I thought about it again, but I thought it was not. The rumored Northeast Army understands the etiquette of the Western army very well. Calling the police chief is inexplicable no matter how you look at it. If you want to come to demonstrate, it would be great for the army to come. If you want to express your greetings, it is enough to send the army to come. No matter how you look at it, you have no chance of getting along with the army.
Things were so strange that Major Stephen wore his military uniform and quickly walked to the observation tower of the station to check. This made him startled and saw that the entire station was surrounded by the Chinese army, but standing in front was a group of thin police officers from the local police station of Shanhaiguan.
At this moment, the local police chief of Shanhaiguan below pointed at Major Stephen who had gone up to the lookout building, and clearly recognized Major Stephen.
There are already people wearing ordinary people's costumes shouting loudly to the loudspeaker in English: "Listen to the British inside, someone went to the local court to sue you for killing local Chinese citizens, robbing, and beating local merchants. Now we ask you to come out and surrender within 30 minutes. Otherwise, you will be regarded as armed bandits and will be completely wiped out. It is now 7:01, and by 7:31, we will start the attack!"
After shouting once, the translator gasped and shouted again: "The British inside listen..."
If it were on weekdays, Major Stephen would have been afraid that one shot would be shot. However, seeing the artillery outside, the appearance was obviously the French Miss 75 artillery. With the British garrison camp, it could not resist at all. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were unable to deal with the Northeast Army, and the British garrison was not an opponent.
There was really no way. Major Stephen had to bite the bullet and lead a few subordinates out of the gate of the garrison. Outside the gate, he shouted from afar: "Who are you?"
The Chinese translator holding the loudspeaker immediately replied in English: "We are from the local police station of Shanhaiguan. Since you are equipped with military weapons such as rifles and machine guns, we invited Northeast Army troops to come and help."
Major Stephen really wanted to go to war with the Northeast Army immediately, but he really didn't want to die. Although he felt a huge sense of shame, if he died, he would be gone. Major Stephen had to shout: "We ask for negotiations with the Northeast Army!"
Five minutes later, on the middle line of both sides, Major Stephen stood opposite Colonel Yu Cen of the Northeast Army and Chief Yu Daqing Police of Shanhaiguan.
Colonel Yu Cen was not wearing Northeast Army combat uniforms at this time, but wearing Northeast Army wilderness gray army uniforms. The translator translated the words of the police chief Yu Daqing to Major Stephen, "You don't have to say the Boxer Treaty, you are a group of suspects, and it is natural to kill people and pay their lives, owing debts and paying money. I advise you that the suspects are different from armed bandits. After the suspect is arrested, they can still be tried. For the armed bandits, our police will start to shoot first and then ask questions!"
Major Stephen felt that his nose was pissed, but he didn't even have the solution to this damn police chief Yu Daqing at 1 o'clock. Finally, he could only turn around and ask Colonel Yu Cen: "Col. Do you know the Xin Chou Treaty?"
Colonel Yu Cen sneered, "As a soldier, I have no reason to give in to the bandits. But major, you seem to be a soldier. It is not a shame to make wise choices for the lives of your subordinates at this time."
Major Stephen only felt a breath in his chest, which was so blocked that he felt cold, but his back was cold. At this time, the translator took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and then said loudly: "It's already 7:20. In another 11 minutes, we will start to suppress the bandits."
Faced with such a naked threat, Major Stephen made up his mind, "Col. Please allow me to surrender to you."
After saying that, Major Stephen added another vicious sentence, "Col. Those generals you obey will definitely be judged for irrational acts of war!"
