If there had never been war in the world, we would not cherish peace. If there was no winter, spring would not have come.
After the Guangfeng military and political conference, with Su Zhenze's order, the land reform and army expansion immediately began in the county. The farmers who had obtained the land were naturally elated by Su Zhenze's decision, while some landowners were determined to resist and resist Su Zhenze's land policy.
As for the fourth battalion commander, Su Ruixi, who had gone to various villages to carry out land reform, he was not polite to them. He was directly arrested and handed over to the people for trial. Finally, his family was raided. Under such high pressure, such resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The land reform was progressing very smoothly.
At the same time, Su Zhenze had also become the great benefactor of these farmers. Wherever the land reform work went, it would definitely be welcomed by all the poor people. Even the recruitment plan of the army was very smooth. The people were fighting to join.
"Ya! Aunt Wang, are you here to send your son to the army?”
"Exactly! County Head Su is a good person! Dividing up the land, beating up the landlord, exterminating the bandits, which one was not good!”
"That's right! I've never felt so at ease before…"
"Also, look at their army. They don't steal or rob. They even insist on paying when they buy things for them. Moreover, they are treated well.”
Su Zhenze quickly reorganized Guangfeng County and issued various preferential measures, especially the land reform, which quickly won the support of the grassroots. Su Zhenze's political power in Guangfeng County was also slowly consolidated!
At the same time, in Weiyuan City, a middle-aged man in his forties, Yang Zhanshan, who was a warlord in the northeast of Jiangxi Province, heard that Ma Yicheng, who he supported, had been overthrown. When he heard the news, his expression turned ugly!
In the past few days, a big city in the northeast of Jiangxi, Weiyuan County, had been spreading the news that a huge change had taken place in Feng County. Not only had Ma Yicheng been eliminated, but the newly appointed county head Su was also carrying out some land reform, giving the land of the landlord to the peasants. This had caused a heated discussion!
"Humph! Have you checked it out?" Yang Zhanshan snorted coldly and said to the adjutant beside him.
"Commander, according to our information, this Su Zhenze went to D Nation to study…"
Soon, the adjutant told him everything that had happened in Guangfeng County. After all, some things were not secrets. He only needed to ask a little to know!
"Oh, according to what you're saying, this Su Zhenze is still a talent at such a young age!”
Yang Zhanshan nodded and somewhat agreed with Su Zhenze's approach and strategy. However, why did he feel that Su Zhenze did not seem to be on the same side as him? He was beating up corrupt officials, beating up landlords, and even carrying out land reform. In his opinion, this was completely a thankless task!
"In addition, Marshal! Su Zhenze even sent over 100,000 yuan and evidence of Ma Yicheng colluding with Wang Yufeng, the Guardian of Shangrao!”
"What did you say?"
When Yang Zhanshan heard that Ma Yicheng had colluded with his main opponent in Jiangxi, one of the four Great Guardians of Jiangxi, Shangrao Guardian Wang Yufeng, he was furious. In the past two years, he and Wang Yufeng had wanted to unify the northeast region of Jiangxi. Although Wang Yufeng was appointed as the Guardian of Beiyang, he was not afraid of him at all. The battle between them had been intense in the past two years, and he hated people who betrayed him the most!
"Is the evidence true?" He once again confirmed with some unwillingness.
"Yes, I am! Marshal, this is a letter written by Ma Yicheng to Wang Yu Feng. It's absolutely true!”
"Damn it! This Ma Yicheng was simply an ingrate! If it wasn't for me, he would have been able to sit on the position of the county head and even dare to betray me. I really want to kill him!”
"Marshal, now is not the time to be angry. Su Zhenze in Feng County has already established a firm foothold and is still recruiting. This humble servant feels that since they are willing to pledge allegiance to us, we can also let him be the Guangfeng County Chief. Anyway, there is no profit there. Other than being a good place to do business at the intersection of the three provinces, there is no use at all.”
The adjutant at the side saw that Yang Zhanshan had calmed down and immediately advised him.
"That's right! You're right. However, although this county is a little poor! But wasn't 100,000 yuan too little?”
Yang Zhanshan thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he immediately revealed a greedy face and asked somewhat insatiably.
"No, marshal! Guangfeng said that it was the same number every year!”
The adjutant took the opportunity to speak. As for why this adjutant was so eager to please Guang Feng, the monkey-like Yang Zhanshan also knew that he must have received some benefits. However, this kind of thing was not exposed. Otherwise, it would be meaningless. Anyway, as long as he earned enough benefits, the others would have to drink the soup too!
"Very good! It seems that they are very sincere. Send them a letter of appointment and tell them to contact Jiang Xi and obey me, Yang Zhanshan, in name!”
At the same time, Shang Rao's Guardian Wang Yu Feng kept clamoring to bring troops to flatten Feng County. He had always been very aggrieved as the Guardian!
Although he was Guardian Shang Rao, he controlled five counties in the northeast of Jiangxi. The other six counties were in Yang Zhanshan's hands. Moreover, both sides had equal power, and neither side was willing to submit to the other!
Originally, he had wanted to slowly bribe Ma Yicheng to betray him and open up the Tongzhe River. The commercial route built by the government would allow the commerce in his territory to rise to a higher level. At that time, he would have enough money to expand more troops. He did not want Yang Zhanshan to not know how to develop commerce and only know how to kill the chicken to get the eggs. He did not want Yang Zhanshan to continue to impose various tax rates! Guangfeng, which was the convergence of three provinces, did not know how to make use of it. Instead, it became a poor county. What a waste of natural resources!
If he had obtained Guangfeng and unified the northeast of Guangxi, it would have been just a matter of time before he became the guardian. However, all his efforts had been in vain!
"Damn it! " I've developed for two years before Ma Yicheng betrayed me. In the end, an unknown kid ruined my plans! I'm so angry!"
"Marshal, please calm down!"
After hearing Wang Yu Feng's complaint, an aide behind him was afraid that Wang Yu Feng would be blinded by anger and quickly advised him.
"Marshal, don't act rashly! According to the news from Wei Yuan City, Yang Zhanshan has already acknowledged Guang Feng's regime. If we send out our troops now, it might cause Yang Zhanshan to start a war with us! Marshal, the time is not ripe yet! You need to endure it for the time being!"
"Ting Yang, you're right. I'll endure this for now. When the time comes, I'll make them pay me back with interest!”
Wang Yu Feng calmed down. It wasn't the time to fall out with Yang Zhanshan yet. He didn't have the confidence to win. He still had to restrain himself and not get into a conflict with the powerful Yang Zhanshan!
……
In Feng County, Su Zhenze, who was sitting in the county government office, had already received the news that Yang Zhanshan had acknowledged him as the governor of Guangfeng County. At the same time, he had already sent over a letter of appointment.
He glanced at the letter of appointment. The content was nothing more than some commendation. It was plain and ordinary. Then, he threw it at the bottom of the drawer. As for drafting a letter of commendation, nominally obeying Yang Zhanshan's military government, it did not matter to him. Anyway, the gun was in his hands, and he had the final say in Feng County!
A letter about the change of ownership of Feng County was sent to the Jiangxi Province's provincial government and the various guardians by Yang Zhanshan, the military governor of the northeast of Jiangxi Province. However, it was like a stone thrown into a lake. Although it caused a ripple, very soon, no one paid attention to the change of ownership of a small Guangfeng County's warlord government!
However, no one would have thought that this small Feng County would soon unify the entire Jiangxi Province with the power of a prairie fire!
