young marshal spring and autumn

The military and political construction of the Northeast United Provincial Autonomous Government is proceeding in an orderly manner under the full planning of the "National Unification Committee".Zhang Hanqing also carried out land reform similar to the three northeastern provinces in Guan, but the situation in Rehe made it very difficult to implement the land reform. The main reason for the problem was Tang Yulin, the former chairman of Rehe Province and commander of the 5th Division of the Fengjun Army.

The Rehe Special District originally governed 14 counties and 19 banners with a total of about 600 million people. After Tangshan and Qinhuangdao were added to form the new Rehe Province, the population is no less than that of Heilongjiang.This is the first territory of the Feng Dynasty in North China, and it is an important link connecting the Northwest, North China and Northeast. ----Rehe is located outside the customs and is adjacent to the center of the capital (Chengde, the provincial capital of Rehe). The geographical location is relatively sensitive. When Zhang Zuolin first entered the Northeast, he did not have time to arrange people in the future.

After Zhang Zuolin took Rehe, in order to show that the new (young commander-in-chief) and old Fengjun generals were all his targets, he gave up the land of Rehe to Tang Yulin, the old man of Fengjun, under the jurisdiction of the provincial chairman and commander. All belong to him.

Tang Yulin, nicknamed "Tang Erhu", was originally the brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade under Zhang Zuolin's command. In 1918, he was dismissed by Zhang Hanqing on the spot for gathering troops in Fengtian and defected to Feng Delin. In order to show his generosity, Zhang Zuolin appointed him as a lieutenant-general advisor to the patrol envoys of the three eastern provinces, but his title was false.

Tang Yulin held back for more than two years and finally his daughter-in-law for many years became a mother-in-law. After holding two jobs, she attained the Tao by herself and ascended to heaven.Tang's brothers and nephews were all entrusted with important tasks by him.

In the government, the eldest son Tang Zuorong became the director of the Provincial Anti-Smoking Bureau. He was called Ban Smoking, but he was actually engaged in drug trafficking and smuggling for big profits;

In the army, the third brother Tang Yushan served as the head of the 58th regiment; the fourth brother Tang Yuchrome served as the head of the artillery regiment and was finally promoted to brigade commander; the fifth brother Tang Yushu was the head of the cavalry regiment and was finally promoted to brigade commander; his nephew Tang Baofu served as the engineer battalion The battalion commander, his brother-in-law Xia Weishi served as the battalion commander of the supply battalion.

After the Zhiwan War, Tang Yulin incorporated the fleeing troops of the Anhui Department into two miscellaneous brigades, with a total of 2 people. Most of them were composed of local ruffians and bandits in Guanzhong and remnants of the former Qing Dynasty. Not only the military discipline was corrupted, but the equipment was still two years old. old stuff from before.According to the requirements, Tang Yulin reorganized the two brigades into an armed police force of 2 people, and handed it over to his third brother Tang Yushan for management.

Relying on Tang Yulin's influence, these people worked together, collude, and made a lot of money. When the local people mentioned the Tang family, they were terrified, and they called Tang Yulin the second tiger of Tang, which really echoed the idiom "tyranny is fiercer than tiger".

After the Feng family acquired Tangshan and Qinhuangdao and merged them into Rehe, in order to gradually control Tang Yulin's power, Zhang Hanqing ordered the military, government and police to be separated according to the customs system.As a result, Tang Yulin had to relieve the vacancy of the chairman of the Rehe Special District, and Liu Shangqing, the former general office of the official bank of the three eastern provinces and the governor of Fengtian Province, and the current chairman of the Finance and Economics Committee of the "National Unification Committee" was replaced.In exchange, Tang Yushan served as the head of the Rehe branch of the Armed Police Force, but in essence the military power is still firmly held by the Tang family.

Guo Songling's adaptation in North China received strong support from Ji Jinchun, who is deeply grateful for Zhang Hanqing's kindness.Although Ji is an old Feng family, he is very enlightened.The 28th division under his command is the elite of the Feng army, and it speaks a lot within the Feng department.Under his influence, the reorganization of Zhang Jinghui, another division in the pass, the 16th division, also proceeded smoothly.

Liu Shangqing, who had just taken over as the chairman of Rehe Province, immediately convened the first provincial government committee meeting of Rehe Province to deploy comprehensive land reform.According to the successful experience in Guannei, more than 100 propaganda teams are going to be set up to go to various places to explain and direct the land reform movement.

Zhao Siyuan is the propaganda team leader in charge of more than a dozen townships in Hedong, Shuangluan County, Fubian. Although he is only 21 years old this year, he is already an old clerk who has participated in Chaoyang land reform and has 2 years of experience in land reform.When he was still studying in Fengtian, his hometown in Chaoyang got the land, and the village also owed seeds and cattle on credit, which gave the poor farmers hope of life, and their life gradually improved.With gratitude to the self-government, after graduation, he took the initiative to participate in various tasks of the Chaoyang City Construction Committee and performed well. He was absorbed into the Northeast People's Party after the assessment a year ago.After Rehe was established as a province, Zhang Hanqing transferred a large number of capable cadres from the northeast to go out, and Zhao Siyuan was one of them.

The Hedong area he is in charge of is one of the wealthiest areas in Shuangluan County.The water of the Luan River flowed by and fertilized tens of thousands of hectares of land. It was originally called "the small granary in North China".When Tang Yulin was in charge of Rehe, he naturally caught the eye.So the government and businessmen colluded, and together with the local tyrants, seized a large area and encircled a large area, which was called "special land for military grain collection" to the outside world, and for this reason they did not pay taxes to the county government for a long time.

In the process of seizing the land, they killed people, wounded and maimed, sheltered and connived to the point of accepting bribes, and hundreds of people were displaced.Zhao Siyuan surveyed the land openly, and secretly collected evidence of Tang Yulin's gang's crimes.However, the common people who were afraid of reprisals openly welcomed the arrival of the working group, but secretly they dared not confide in their thoughts, let alone take charge of such a big matter.

The propaganda team has its own successful experience.This is an old team with many years of experience in arousing the consciousness of the people.Zhao Siyuan is neither discouraged nor discouraged, he knows that freezing three feet is not a day's cold.He visited various villages during the day, measured land with the villagers, discussed ways to increase production and income, and improved irrigation conditions. At night, he talked with the villagers about the Three People's Principles and various government policies.These are things that the masses like to hear and have immediate interests, and some things are unheard of, but they are all willing to listen to him talk about these exciting changes.Around him, some people slowly gathered.He began to tell stories about the land reform that took place in Northeast China, about the principle of equality between officials and the people, and about the government's punishment of local tyrants and bullies.Slowly, some persecuted people came into his sight.

The result was astonishing. The blood debts in the hands of the Tang family were remitted into dozens of large papers. It is not bad at all to describe it as innumerable letters!

The reason why Tang Yulin dared to do this was that he considered himself a veteran of the Feng Faction, relying on his seniority, and believed that Zhang Hanqing was definitely just pretending--in fact, the Northeast land reform did not touch the senior military and political officials of the Feng Faction--like a "National Wu Junsheng, a member of the Military Commission of the Unification Committee and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Road Guard Army, took advantage of his position to acquire more than 27 yuan of land and many properties in Zhengjiatun, Tongliao, Taonan, Qiqihar and other places, and rented out more than [-] rooms. A grassland of several thousand hectares was enclosed for him to raise horses (Wu Junsheng raised [-] good horses himself).

Then the planned land reform directly touched the interests of the Tang family.Tang Yulin's family already owned a large amount of land, and now they had to hand over all of it, so they were naturally upset.Moreover, Zhang Hanqing added a new tobacco tax in Rehe, and directly handed over the income from the land reform to the Provincial Taxation Bureau, bypassing the Finance Department controlled by Mr. Tang.Tang Yulin thought that with the expansion of Rehe, he would raise all boats and catch more.However, the Jehol reform plan made him almost lose all the original benefits.For this reason, he used the power network formed over the years to restrict Rehe's reform in many ways.On the surface, Liu Shangqing is the chairman of Rehe Province, but because the chief executives of various places are trained by Tang Yulin, in fact, Liu Shangqing's decree does not leave Qinhuangdao (the location of the Finance and Economics Committee).He once called Zhang Hanqing by his nickname after drinking and said wildly: "The little six are just relying on the name of the commander, and Rehe still listens to me."
