Chapter 504: The Parting of Concentration and Development
The party Central Committee also attaches great importance to the financial reform of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and immediately after receiving a telegram from Han Yunhua and Political Commissar Luo, the Central Committee, under the chairmanship, immediately convened a meeting to discuss the feasibility of the Inner Mongolia Military Region issuing border currency.
Because the principality is still in a period of cooperation, the issuance of currency will inevitably lead to increasing dissatisfaction with the CCP on the part of the Kuomintang. The effect of the Inner Mongolia Military Region's issuance of border currency and the border government's issuance of border currency are simply two different things, and the border currency issued by the border government is only so pitiful, and the impact on the legal tender issued by the national government is not too great. However, looking at the current territory and control of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the border currency issued by the Inner Mongolia Military Region will certainly have a huge impact on the financial system of the entire northern China, which is no less than cutting meat directly from Chiang Kai-shek, which is intolerable to the Nationalist Government.
However, the thinking of the cadres of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is also understandable; after all, it is not possible to have a unified currency in a huge base area, and if you count the currencies of the entire Saibei region, it can be said that there are all kinds of currencies, and the border currency issued by Yan'an is used in the Baotou area of Guisui, the border currency issued by the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region is used in the central Hebei area, the yen and dollar used in the area of Beiping and Tianjin, and the legal tender is used in the southern Hebei regionThis has brought huge hidden dangers to the prosperity and development of industry, commerce, and economy in the Inner Mongolia Military Region.
After unanimous consultations, the Party Central Committee directly delegated the power to issue border currencies to the Inner Mongolia Military Region and ordered the Inner Mongolia Military Region to set up the Saibei Bank. At the same time, at the request of Han Yunhua, Chen Yun was transferred to work in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and in addition, Cao Juru, then president of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Bank, was directly transferred to the Inner Mongolia Military Region, where he still held the post of bank president, and Zhu Lizhi held the post of president of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Bank.
After the telegram was sent to Guisui, Han Yunhua was overjoyed, not to mention Chen Yun, an economic expert, the arrival of Cao Juru alone made Han Yunhua excited. Cao Ju is a veteran qualification in the party, of course, this is only relative to Han Yunhua and others, who joined the Communist Party of China in 1930, participated in the Long March, and then joined the War of Resistance against Japan. On November 7, 1930, the West Fujian Industrial and Agricultural Bank was formally established, and Cao Juru served as the chief of the accounting section. At the beginning of 1932, Cao Juru was transferred to Ruijin as the director of the business department of the State Bank of the Chinese Soviet Republic, which was the system of the Western Fujian Workers' and Peasants' Bank. The West Fujian Workers' and Peasants' Bank was one of the earliest banks established in the Soviet Union, and later became a branch of the State Bank, so it can be said that the West Fujian Workers' and Peasants' Bank made preparations for the State Bank. The old bookkeeping method of Chinese account books is the ancestor of local bank accounting, and Cao Juru deservedly became one of the founders of the financial industry.
Han Yunhua knows better that this Director Cao is a figure who served as governor of the People's Bank of China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his financial level is not comparable to ordinary people, and his historical achievements in developing China's financial undertakings and establishing an independent, unified, and stable monetary system and socialist financial system are indelible. He is an outstanding leading cadre with rich practical experience and a realistic spirit on the financial front of our country. The fact that the party Central Committee was able to transfer this expert-level figure to the Inner Mongolia Military Region is enough to show that the central authorities have approved Han Yunhua's proposal.
As for the decision of the two party Central Committees to let them take up their posts in a month, they said that some work needed to be handed over, but Han Yunhua could not wait, and he sent a telegram to the Central Committee, asking Comrades Chen Yun and Cao Juru to immediately explain the work at hand, and the pick-up troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region had already set off from Guisui and could rush to Yan'an in three days at most.
Han Yunhua's mood can also be understood by those big leaders in Yan'an, after all, the entire Inner Mongolia Military Region is now busy developing, and militarily it is better to say, after all, after so many years, there is already a relatively complete system, and anyone should be fine as long as they do not make claims without authorization. However, economic construction is not something that a large group of big bosses can figure out, it requires professional talents, even Han Yunhua, an all-round general.
Let's not mention that the military region is busy welcoming Comrade Chen Yun and Cao Juru, but Han Yunhua is preparing to send Yuhan to the 385 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to take office, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has urged it several times, but they have all been suppressed by Han Yunhua, to be honest, Han Yunhua really doesn't want Yuhan to go to the 385 Brigade to serve as the political commissar, although the political commissar of the 385 Brigade is put aside until the founding of the People's Republic of China, which one of them is a general, but Han Yunhua is not uncommon, and it is a good thing that a few generals are not seen in a family. The most important thing is that no one cares about the children in the family, and the two sons are okay, at least there is a grandmother to take care of, but Xiao Sihan is only 4 years old now, and it is not a matter to leave it to Han Yunhua alone. …,
But his arms can't twist his thighs, even if Han Yunhua is unwilling to carry out the orders of the central government, the military order is like a mountain and cannot resist.
After thinking about it for several days, Han Yunhua finally figured it out, isn't it just going to the 385 Brigade, is he so entangled, what the chairman and others mean Han Yunhua also knows that as long as he does a good job here, the Eighth Route Army will not dare to embarrass Yuhan. If he can't bend the bend, he is likely to leave an unruly influence on the central government, then it will really outweigh the losses, and he gritted his teeth and finally decided to personally send his wife to office.
Since he couldn't resist this order of the central government, Han Yunhua thought about how he couldn't make his wife look cold when she took office, so he discussed it with Luo Ronghuan and decided to transfer some elites from Han Yunhua's guard regiment, and then transfer some elites from the special combat team to form a guard regiment of 2,000 people, which served as Yuhan's guard force, and also gave a little support to the 385 brigade.
On the rugged mountain road in northern Hebei, a huge army is advancing, this unit is the second batch of troops moved to Zhangjiakou by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, in addition to the troops of the entire infantry division, there are also a large number of organ personnel, including more than 10,000 doctors, nurses and security personnel of the rear general hospital, in addition to Han Yunhua and Li Yuhan are also among them.
"Yunhua, I don't know if our brigade commander gets along well, I heard that some old cadres in our army are the most difficult to get along with the political commissar, do you think I can do it?" Yuhan is very unconfident in herself, the brigade political commissar is already a chief-level cadre in the Eighth Route Army, and it is indeed very reluctant for a girl in her twenties to take on this heavy responsibility.
Han Yunhua comforted: "Don't worry, the commander of your 358 Brigade is called Wang Hongkun, a native of Chengmagang, Macheng City, Hubei Province, and the cousin of Wang Shusheng, deputy commander of the Taihang Military Region. In 1927, he participated in the Jute Uprising. In 1929, he joined the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and joined the Communist Party of China in the same year. During the Land War, he served as the platoon commander of the 11th Red Army of the First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the commander of the 30th Regiment, the commander of the 10th Division, and the commander of the 4th Army. Participated in the Long March. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the commander of the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. It's an old **, older than a few of us, I don't think this old comrade will bully you a rookie egg. ”
"You're talking nonsense, how come people are also veterans who have been in the army for more than three years, you have seen recruits with 3 years of military experience, hum" Yuhan said dissatisfied.
Han Yunhua patted his beloved wife's little head lightly and said: "Yes, it is indeed uncommon for recruits with 3 years of military experience, but my family's Yuhan is definitely one, he has not been on the battlefield for three years in the army, and he has been a brigade political commissar for three years. ”
"Villain, you just bully me," Yuhan said sweetly.
"Wronged, how dare you bully the great Comrade Yuhan, how dare you bully the great Comrade Yuhan, flying snow in June." Han Yunhua smiled bitterly.
"Hehehe, it's okay, I'm not messing with you, so what is the personality of our brigade commander Wang?" Yuhan asked again.
Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "Comrade Wang Hongkun is a staunch Marxist, a real proletarian fighter, and a responsible leader, I believe he will not be able to target you, besides, I also told you that your appointment in the Eighth Route Army this time is actually just to be a microphone or a link of communication, and the work of the political commissar is just a fictitious position, you look at it, the work of the political commissar must be taken care of by the deputy political commissar, so you can rest assured." ”
"Don't worry, I'm the political commissar of the 385 Brigade, and I won't shirk the work that belongs to me, otherwise I'd rather not do it. If the central government asked me to come to the 385 Brigade just so that you, the commander, could have a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, then I would still go back to Saibei to be my vice president, and there would be no one to take care of Xiao Sihan anyway. Li Yuhan was very dissatisfied with Han Yunhua's analysis, she believed that she should and must be respected as a political commissar, and she couldn't stand the transfer of her to the 385th Brigade by the Party Central Committee for this purpose.
Han Yunhua comforted: "It's okay, the chairman also has his difficulties, don't you think how strong our military region is now, your man controls more than half of the elite troops of our party and our army and the largest base area, and the central government can't eliminate my personal influence from Saibei in a short period of time, so I can only continue to stay in Saibei to serve." However, the Communist Party is a whole, whether it is the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, or our Inner Mongolia Military Region, they are all troops under the leadership of the party, and if those soldiers and soldiers are allowed to see that our soldiers eat white flour buns and pork stews, while they eat millet and wild vegetables, I am afraid that the morale of the troops will be affected. Han Yunhua pulled his beloved wife into his arms and said: "There is no way to transfer you to the Eighth Route Army, the central government has already transferred a large number of materials from our military region, these materials are enough for the Eighth Route Army for more than a year, and if you desperately ask for it from our military region, it is likely to cause our army's morale to be low, and full of complaints against the central government, so the central government has no choice but to transfer you to the Eighth Route Army." ”…,
"What does this have to do with me, are they too embarrassed to ask for something? It's not that I don't know what the situation is in our military region, and every battle we fought was very hard, and it can be described as tragic in just one battle. They often see how great the results of our military region have been, how many enemies have been captured, and how much lost territory has been recovered. But they didn't think about what a terrible price we paid, how many familiar faces were gone forever, silently. Look at the fact that our soldiers died because they did not have medicine, and our cadres did not operate under anesthesia because they did not have enough anesthetics, how they were so embarrassed to keep asking us for this and that, or we should go back now, I am not competent for this political commissar. Yuhan said with some excitement.
Han Yunhua said: "Childish, military orders are like mountains." Do you think that the orders of the central government are easy to disobey, but the central leaders are the central leaders, and they hit my weakness as soon as they made a move. You see, if you don't open your mouth, I have to support an elite infantry regiment of the 385th Brigade, and as long as you are there in the future, I will have to continue to provide support to the 385th Brigade and even the entire 129th Division. ”
"How can they do this, isn't this a blatant robbery?". Yuhan said dissatisfied.
"I can't talk about it, but it's a bit of a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes. You are my true daughter, no way, for your sake, I don't want to say that it is a little weapons and ammunition, even if it is a tank and plane, I have to give it, hehehe" Han Yunhua said.
"Bo" Yuhan lightly incensed Han Yunhua's face, this is a small action that their husband and wife often have at home, but this is the first time outside, and there is a driver and guard in the car.
Han Yunhua hugged Yu Han in his arms and said, "But don't take it to heart, it's not a disadvantage to support the Eighth Route Army with no weapons and equipment." The Eighth Route Army is a heroic unit, and the 385th Brigade is even more of a strong force, so our military region is willing to support them. ”
"Well, then tell me about the 385 Brigade, I know that you are well-informed, and there is Lao Qian that guy to help you, I'm afraid there is nothing you don't know about in the entire northern region of China." Seeing Han Yunhua say this, Yuhan didn't say anything anymore, he knew Han Yunhua very well, since Han Yunhua said this, it meant that he really didn't mind.
"Look at what you said, as if your man was a spy leader. Since you asked, then I will tell you that the 385 Brigade is a heroic unit, and it is a great thing that you can serve as the political commissar of the 385 Brigade. The 385th Brigade is one of the main brigades of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and together with the original 386th Brigade of Uncle Chen Geng, the 129th Division has been supported. In August 1937, the 4th Army of the Fourth Front Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was reorganized into the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army of the National ** Army in Fuping County, Shaanxi Province. Wang Hongkun served as brigade commander, Wang Weizhou served as deputy brigade commander, Geng Biao served as chief of staff, and Su Jingcheng served as director of the Political Department. It has under the jurisdiction of the 769th Regiment reorganized from the 10th Division of the Red 4th Army and the 770th Regiment reorganized from the 12th Division of the Red 4th Army. After the reorganization of the 385 brigade troops, it was divided into two parts of the operation. The 769th Regiment was directly commanded by the 129th Division and crossed the Yellow River at the end of September 1937 to the front line of resistance against Japan in North China. At present, the 385th Brigade is under the jurisdiction of the 770th Regiment and the 2nd and 7th Garrison Regiments. Han Yunhua briefly told Li Yuhan about the origin of the 385 Brigade and the number before the reorganization.
"What is the combat effectiveness of the 386 Brigade and what battles have they fought?" Li Yuhan asked again.
"The combat effectiveness of the 386 Brigade is not strong, it is much worse than the 386 Brigade, but it is also a rare force, mainly because they have more veterans, and they are all veterans who have participated in the Long March. Han Yunhua said with emotion.
Li Yuhan glanced at Han Yunhua, then moved his body and said, "Look at what you can get, as far as you know that those veterans are treasures, Brigade Commander Wang doesn't know." The veteran changes his rifle, you can imagine it. If I let the chairman and others know that you are fighting those veterans of the 385th Brigade, I am afraid that those leaders will immediately drive me back to Saibei. ”
"That's not right, anyway, I don't want you to be transferred to the Eighth Route Army, so it won't be easy for us to meet." Han Yunhua said.
"Giggles, I thought you really didn't care if I went to the Eighth Route Army, it turned out that my arms couldn't twist my thighs, I thought my Yunhua brother was not afraid of heaven and earth, Terauchi Shouichi, you dare to provoke, Binshan Yuan, you dare to move, Tada Jun, you dare to kill, it turns out that you are also afraid." Yuhan said with a smile. …,
"There's no way, the official level crushes people to death, forget it, let me tell you about some of the situation of the 386 Brigade, you don't know anything when you go to the province. On October 19, 1937, the 385th Brigade attacked the Japanese frontline airfield at Yangmingbao in Dai County, Shanxi Province, destroying 24 aircraft. In order to cooperate with the Kuomintang army's operations to defend Xinkou and Taiyuan, the 769th Regiment, under the leadership of Xu Xiangqian, deputy commander of the 129th Division, arrived in the Xiyang area south of the Zhengtai Railway on October 30, and joined the main force of the 129th Division to attack the Japanese troops advancing west along the Zhengtai Railway. Subsequently, the 385th Brigade participated in the Guangyang ambush, in which the 386th Brigade annihilated nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers and captured more than 700 mules and horses, more than 300 rifles and a large number of military supplies. Subsequently, the troops were dispersed and deployed in the northern area of Taihang Mountain, assisting the local CCP to organize and mobilize the masses, expand the local armed forces, and establish an anti-Japanese regime. In mid-January 1938, the 769th Regiment transferred 4 companies to form an eastward column with the cavalry company directly under the 129th Division, led by Chen Zaidao, deputy commander of the 386th Brigade, and entered the east of the Pinghan Railway to open up an anti-Japanese base area in southern Hebei. Subsequently, the 769th Regiment and the 129th Independent Regiment of the 129th Division, which was reorganized from the Western Hebei Guerrilla Detachment, launched a traffic raid along the Zhengtai Railway and participated in the Xiangtangpu ambush. In this battle, the 129th Division annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops, destroyed more than 180 cars, captured more than 130 guns of various kinds, 4 mortars, and a large number of military suppliesThe 385th Brigade participated in the "Nine-Way Siege" operation of the anti-Japanese puppet army in southeast Shanxi Province with the main force of the division, and entered the Jilu Plain eastward, participated in the reorganization of the miscellaneous armed forces, expanded the troops, and expanded the "...... of the anti-Japanese base area in southern Hebei.
