"The landlord has food at home!" The meaning of these six words is intriguing. But Xu Zheng, Liu Zhaoshui, and Cai Wenxiang are all old people who have experienced the rise of the Northeast Army, and the meaning of these words can be said to be clear.

The biggest reason for the rapid development of the Northeast is that the young marshal plundered several times without regard to his name. From bandits, to landlords, to Manchu aliens. Through violent confiscation and plunder, the young marshal obtained the first pot of gold for the development of the Northeast, and the rapid development of the Northeast followed. It's just that after the expansion of the Northeast, the policy has been much milder, and the pride of landlords in various places is not blindly cleaned up, but has chosen to redeem and reduce interest and rent. This is also to allow the other occupied provinces to settle down as soon as possible. After all, it is impossible for the vast west to develop into a place of foundation like the northeast.

Now the situation in Shandong is obviously different, and Feng Yong wants to build Shandong Province into a supplementary base for the entire Northeast Army. In addition, the pace of Japanese people continues to accelerate, and the form is becoming more and more tense for Tohoku. After the start of the war, if Shandong can provide troops for the frontal battlefield, it will have too great an impact on the situation of the entire war.

"Governor Liu, are you going to use the policy of plunder again. This has too much impact on our reputation, and we will be ruined! Xu Zheng said in a deep voice. He doesn't care about fighting, and killing people is trivial, but unreasonable plundering can have serious consequences, and even affect the reputation of the new government in Beijing. The Northeast is no longer a small force in remote places, especially the establishment of the Beijing government, which has allowed the Northeast to occupy the central government.

"Troubled times need to be recoded! Either way, it's for the best! Liu Zhaoshui said expressionlessly.

"By doing this, we are not only affecting the reputation of the young marshal, but also the reputation of the entire Beijing government. I have heard that the Beijing government is establishing the status of the central government, and doing so will affect the prestige of the government. Cai Wenxiang said in a deep voice.

"We do this ourselves, and I will take this responsibility!" Liu Zhaoshui said without hesitation. For the development of the Northeast, Liu Zhaoshui can do everything. I don't even care if I give up my life for it.

"Governor Liu, you ......" Cai Wenxiang's face changed. I have long known that Liu Zhaoshui is notoriously strong and lawless. But when he began to serve as the governor of Shandong, his behavior was still in order, and there was nothing too out of line. But now just by his categorical words, Cai Wenxiang saw how crazy this person was. In order to achieve the goal, even the consciousness of death has been prepared.

If he does this, he will definitely incur notoriety, and if this notoriety is too big for the entire Northeast to bear, then the best thing to do is to lose the car to protect the commander. And Liu Zhaoshui, who bears the main reputation, will become a scapegoat and be abandoned. It may even cost you your life and leave a stench for thousands of years. But from the determined look in his eyes, it was clear that he was definitely not joking.

"Good!" Xu Zheng said in a deep voice. He knew it was the best way to do it to the Northeast. At first, he also had the idea of using force to solve these landlords. It's just because the foundation of the Northeast Army is unstable, so it has always chosen forbearance. In addition, the government does not have accurate information, so they cannot solve all the hidden dangers at once. This kind of thing is a one-time deal, and if it is not done at one time, it will definitely cause big problems if it slips through the net. In this way, not only is it impossible to calm down in Shandong, but even the entire government in Northeast China will be seriously negatively affected.

Now that Liu Zhaoshui has put it forward and Xu Zheng has agreed again, the entire Shandong military and political systems will completely unify their thinking.

"We need the best excuses! I don't know if the two of you have ever played the landlord? The corners of Liu Zhaoshui's mouth twitched, as if he was about to make a laughing posture. But his face was a little stiff, and in the end he laughed more ugly than he cried.

"Of course!" Xu Zheng and the two said with a smile. Fighting the landlord is a small game that Feng Yong stole from the memories of later generations, which was only circulated in the backyard of the Feng family at first, and then spread out, and soon spread throughout the Northeast. Xu Zheng, as Feng Yong's staff officer, naturally came into contact with this thing.

"The wealth of the landlords is obtained by exploiting the common people. The common people have been oppressed for generations, and they have become accustomed to being oppressed for countless years. Now that we want to attack these landlords, we naturally need the best excuse, and redressing the grievances of the common people is the best way. The landlords in these places are strong, which one is not bullying men and women. Such a good excuse, if used well, can not only reap huge benefits, but also minimize the impact of our operation. Liu Zhaoshui said.

"Not bad! Ordinary people are a good excuse, if used well. Not only can we get the wealth needed for recruit training, but we can also quickly win the hearts of the people of Shandong, which will be of great help to us to complete the task of the young marshal. A smile appeared on Cai Wenxiang's face.

"My original plan was to use rent and interest reductions to provoke the landlord class to revolt, and then we would take the opportunity to repair them, but from the current point of view, because of the deterrence of the army, the landlords will not dare to make any action in a short time. We have no choice but to take a more radical approach. After all, now that recruits have begun to be recruited on a large scale, food and supplies must keep up. A ruthless look flashed in Liu Zhaoshui's eyes.

"Got it. I will have the army fully cooperate with your actions! I hope that the wealth of the landlords is enough to support us to complete the recruit training! Xu Zheng had an excited look on his face. If the plan can really be established, it is really possible for Shandong to pull up a million troops in a short period of time. Such a huge merit will definitely allow him to ascend to the throne of a general.

After the Shandong government issued an order to reduce rents and interest rates, it did not take other favorable measures to exert pressure on the landlords and powerful people in various places. Not even anything else. As if the order was given casually. It's just that at the same time, the troops participating in the suppression of bandits in various places began to exert their strength, and one by one the bandits and robbers who caused trouble in the place lost their heads. Shandong's newspapers also began to publicize the complete victory of the bandits in various localities. This method has brought about a significant change in the face of the whole of Shandong. After all, most of the poor people in Shandong are very happy that the government can send troops to kill the local scourge.

After the government announced the order to reduce rent and interest, landlords in various parts of Shandong began to be really nervous, but after a while, seeing that the government did not take action, they did not take this order seriously, after all, the government demanded rent and interest reduction, and the amount was too high. If the proportion promulgated by the government is followed, most of the income from their fields will be lost. In the long run, the landlord class will not have to mix. When they saw that the government had no follow-up means, they naturally pretended to be stupid. As for the opinions of the common people, will these landlords care?

Northeast, Marshal's Mansion.

"Young Marshal, Dean Li is in a hurry!" Li Yang was in a hurry.

"Huh?" Feng Yong looked at the telegram and frowned. Slowly, Feng Yong seemed to fall into the memory, and then a smile gradually appeared on his face: "What a mess!" But they can succeed if they use it well! ”

Later generations of land reform were accomplished on the basis of a strong military. It's just that the world was basically stable at that time. The representatives of the landlords and landowners were sent to Taiwan, and naturally there were no powerful forces to interfere in the process of land reform. But now the situation in Shandong is noticeably different. The surroundings of Shandong are full of enemies, and both the Japanese and Beiyang need to face the Northeast seriously. It should be noted that the conservative atmosphere in the Republic of China is still very serious. Conservative forces are deeply entrenched in the people. If the Northeast adopts an overly aggressive approach, there is also a possibility that the annexed land may be problematic. You must know that this time, the Northeast annexed four and a half provinces at once. The combined population is seventy or eighty million. It also occupies the rich Central Plains, which is the stronghold of conservative forces. It was only because of the lack of armed forces that it was taken by the Northeast.

"Young marshal! What happened? Li Yang asked in a low voice.

"Xu Zheng is a little radical! It is now necessary to carry out comprehensive land reform in Shandong. But it's good to try. We occupy such a vast territory, and the accumulated conservative forces are probably on the verge of exploding. If they do break out, it's time to take the opportunity to catch them all! "To those forces that are hidden on earth and who rebel against them. Although Feng Yong was not afraid, they came out from time to time to make trouble, which also gave Feng Yong a headache. The three eastern provinces became a paradise on earth under Feng Yong's governance. But the forces of resistance have always existed. These people are not numerous, but they are widely distributed, and they should not be taken lightly. Coupled with the secret support of the Japanese, these secret forces show signs of expansion, and if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, they will always be a big hidden danger.

In the era of bandits and wars in the Northeast, too much hatred has been accumulated. Although Feng Yong swept through the entire Northeast Green Forest Realm and the bandits were eliminated, there were always fish that slipped through the net. Many of the fish that slipped through the net were taken in the power of the Northeast, and chose to live incognito and live a normal life as ordinary people. But some people have always been thieves and plotted to subvert the rule of the Northeast all the time. In addition, Yang Zengxin, who annexed Ma Jiajun in the Ganning region in the northeast and took Xinjiang, stretched out his tentacles through most of China to meddle in Tibetan affairs. Which of these places is not intricately intertwined. Local forces, foreign forces, local forces, resistance forces, religious forces, and a series of chaotic things have been smashed by the Northeast with absolute force. But it's not thorough. As a result, the Northeast Dominion is not as stable as it was imagined. What the vast western regions need most at the moment is quiet recuperation.

"Shandong is not the Northeast! If there is a comprehensive land reform, whether it succeeds or fails, it will be a river of blood! Li Yang shook his head and said. In the eyes of China's traditional forces, the land is the foundation, and whoever moves this foundation will invite a counterattack from the entire landlord forces. Coupled with Shandong Gangding, no one can predict what will happen.

"Yes! It's a desperate plan! Regardless of whether they succeed or not, Xu Zheng and Liu Zhaoshui will be infamous by the conservative forces! Even Marshal Ben was not spared. But this infamy, this young marshal likes it! Feng Yong had an excited look on his face. If Shandong successfully completes land reform, it will be of great significance to the development of the entire Northeast.
