    Chapter 291 Reform through labor

    Mei Ting has been in Peiping for a while and has been working in Peiping. Except for Qiuquan, Shanhu and Zhao Yuhe, she has never seen anyone else in the army. For this distant and mysterious force,  Mei Ting could only make vague guesses from the people she came into contact with.

    The Army Division was a completely unfamiliar place to her. Suddenly she saw so many senior officers gathered together, including more than ten major generals, and even more with the rank of colonel. She was so surprised that her eyes widened. It was too much.  Shocked.

    There is absolutely no reason for there to be so many generals in any division-level unit of the **. Just looking at the number of officers, one can tell how powerful the ** division is. Under the gaze of these all-male officers, Mei Ting discovered that her own  Those with the lowest military rank who are eligible to participate in the meeting are the directors of various divisions in the headquarters, and officers above the level of field force commanders are all with the rank of colonel.

    Mei Ting found out awkwardly, where is her seat?  The long conference table was filled with nearly a hundred officers. Only the chairman's seat had two empty chairs. It was obvious that one belonged to the division commander Tang Qiuli, and that one was obviously not for Mei Ting's level.  Understand.

    For the first time, Mei Ting felt a little at a loss, especially when these officers looked at her with strange eyes. She felt that she was an outsider at all, and her cheeks were as hot as fire.

    Tang Qiu left without noticing Mei Ting's embarrassment. He never paid attention to the arrangement of seats during meetings. In later generations, when leaders went to the rostrum and talked nonsense, he always used them.  Tell him, I'll sleep with my strategy.

    Now, he found that Mei Ting did not have a seat, and immediately asked her to sit in the empty seat next to him. Under the surprised and complicated eyes of the officers, he reluctantly sat down as if on pins and needles, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

    Sitting next to Tang Qiuli at the conference table, Liu Tiehan and Qiu Sheng looked at each other without saying anything. Tang Qiuli didn't care who was in that seat.

    It can be said that the senior officers of the division felt repulsed by this beautiful lieutenant colonel, especially her background, which made them very wary. Especially when she was traveling with the division commander, they had no choice but to  It made them doubt Mei Ting's intentions and gave them a lot of guesses.

    Tang Qiuli took Mei Ting to the Huangyadong base area after careful consideration. Mei Ting was the director of the Political Work Division of the ** division designated by the Ministry of Military Affairs. He always kept her away from the army and artificially isolated her.  , as time goes by, Mei Ting will inevitably become suspicious. On the contrary, there is no 300 taels of silver here, which is self-defeating. If this military commander pays attention to every move of the troops, then he can just think about dealing with her all day long, and there is no need to do anything.

    The meeting quickly turned to the main topic. After reporting the actual situation, the officers who rushed to various places were a little depressed. Even Liu Tiehan and Qiu Sheng were at a loss. Finally, they turned their attention to the division commander for help.

    Tang Qiuli looked at everyone with a smile. These old guys were telling the truth. He didn't express his position for a long time just because he wanted everyone to use their brains. From now on, they will all stand alone and have the ability to handle affairs independently.  .

    Mei Ting was surprised to find that in this group, Tang Qiuli was the real backbone, even though he was the youngest. Those officers with shining stars looked at the division commander with unabashed respect and admiration.

    Seeing this, Mei Ting felt a great sense of pride. The girl didn't want the man she liked to be worshiped by others. This was a kind of hero complex.  Not even a word about it, which doesn't hinder her little vanity.

    Seeing that everyone was going crazy, Tang Qiuli slowly explained his solution and opened a large-scale labor camp.

    This was a decision he made after careful consideration. When considering how to deal with these people, the "severe crackdowns" of later generations gave him great inspiration. The social security at that time was extremely chaotic, and it was impossible to use such thunderous methods.  , several times later, the remnants of society were wiped out, and the social security situation was fundamentally changed.

    The situation now is similar to that then. The only difference is that he is the one in power. Not only do these people stay in the local area and harm the countryside, but once the Sino-Japanese war breaks out, these guys are 100% traitor materials.  Don't underestimate the destructive power of these people. They are all local snakes. There are mountains and caves there. They are all very clear. They are more dangerous than the Japanese.

    Of course, the name cannot be called a labor camp. Tang Qiuli came up with a good name, "North China Labor Reformatory." He found a place with fertile soil and sufficient water in an inaccessible and remote mountain, and gathered all these people there.  There, it will be guarded by the army and I will be able to farm the land.

    The more Tang Qiuli thought about it, the more he felt that he was extremely smart. These guys couldn't be kept in vain. They had to create value. How to create it?  As long as you work, you can't believe that if you finish the work in a day, you will still be able to do it.?Thinking about sneaking around!

    In the labor, you have influenced you, educate you, and let you be a person again. Having said that, Tang Qiu Li did not intend to put out these dangerous guys. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, let's talk about it!

    As soon as Tang Qiuli explained the method to these senior officers, the meeting room was abuzz, and everyone almost paid homage. The problem that had been bothering them for many days was solved. It was like a small window opened in his heart. Especially Li Honggang felt that  The teacher's method is really unbelievable. He can come up with such fantastic ideas. How did the teacher's head grow?

    Following this idea, everyone further perfected the plan. Qiuquan's special operations detachment detached part of its troops to conduct preliminary inspections of the location of the reformatory. Troops from various places gathered together those who needed reformation and escorted them together when everything was ready.  .

    After this problem was solved, everyone felt less stressed and the atmosphere of the meeting became more lively.

    Another important issue is the issue of troop expansion. Through the efforts of various work teams during this period, a total of more than 38,000 new recruits have been recruited. Training is now being stepped up and they will be assigned to various units by the end of this year.

    Tang Qiuli did not expect that in a few months, so many new soldiers would be recruited, and the total strength of the army would reach more than 115,000. Plus the 29th Army with more than 47,000 troops, he would  The number of troops that can be mobilized reaches 160,000. Oh my god, is this still the strength of a division?

    With such a lion in hand, the Japanese in North China can't even think about making a big wave, completely delaying Japan's invasion of China in North China, preventing the war from spreading to the mainland of China, and just dealing with the little devils in North China.

    The only flaw is that the equipment of the 29th Army is still far behind and can only be replenished slowly.

    Tang Qiuli's thinking has jumped out of the current meeting and towards the future battlefield. Using Taihang Mountain as a base is necessary for the future survival and development of the army.

    Taihang Mountain stretches for more than 800 miles across the land of North China. It is known as the "Roof of North China" and has a dangerous situation. It has always been regarded as an important military location. From the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, wars continued for more than two thousand years.

    The mountain is cut by many rivers and has many cross-valleys. There are many dangerous passes among them, which are called "Xing" locally. In ancient times, it was also known as "Taihang Eight Passes". It is an important channel for east-west transportation, and can reach the Shanshan-Shaanxi Plateau and even the northwest in the west.  From the north, you can go up to Recha and the Mongolian Plateau, to the east, you can see the North China Plain and the Shandong Peninsula, you can see the Bohai Bay, and you can go south, into Henan and directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

    It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. After the July 7th Incident, the Eighth Route Army, which was adapted from the Red Army, relied on this to rely on this place to hold the main force of the Japanese invaders here, making them unable to invade the south on a large scale, let alone send troops to support  The battlefield of the Central Plains.

    In Tang Qiuli's mind, there were scenes of Taihang Mountain, flags swirling in the west wind, war beacons everywhere, and soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy. Everyone looked at the master's words and listened with enthusiasm, but there was no movement. When he looked again,  The teacher's eyes were blurred, and there was a silly smile on his face. He didn't know what he was mumbling?  It's all inexplicable.

    Tang Qiuli looked like this. The old men of the division, such as Qiu Sheng, Liu Tiehan, and Feng Jiwu, had all seen it before. They knew that the division commander was distracted again and that the problem was no longer the subject of discussion in the meeting.

    Most of the officers had never seen it before, so they stopped talking and looked at the division commander smirking. Liu Tiehan coughed a few times, intending to wake up Tang Qiuli and stop losing his composure in front of the officers, especially Mei Ting. He was helpless and helpless.  no effect.

    Mei Ting was the closest to Tang Qiu, so she had long realized that something was wrong and was anxious. If she warned him at this time, he would lose a lot of face, but this was not an option. These subordinates did not think that their commander was a psychopath.  patient?

    In her desperation, Mei Ting didn't care about everyone's eyes. She stretched out her slender hand and quietly pulled Tang Qiuli's sleeve. There was no response at first. Mei Ting increased her strength, and this time there was  responded, and the response was somewhat surprising.

    "Oh, Director Mei, you pulled my sleeve, what's the matter?" Tang Qiuli turned to the side and asked blankly, turning her head too sharply, Mei Ting was unprepared, and their heads touched each other.  , this time, the conference room burst into laughter, Mei Ting's little face was as red as fire, and her heart was beating like a deer.

    Only then did Tang Qiuli realize that he was distracted during a meeting. It was an old habit and he didn't notice it. He rubbed his head and said repeatedly: "I'm distracted, I'm distracted! Everyone, keep going!" and turned away.  , someone asked: "Director Mei, are you okay?" This was a good time. It was purely redundant. The senior officers present did not care about their image and almost sat on the ground with laughter.

    Mei Ting could no longer sit still and stood up hurriedly: "Master, I suddenly remembered something. I want to send a telegram to Deputy Director Huang in Peiping. I'll go first!" Before Tang Qiuli could agree, she hurriedly saidHe bowed, turned around and fled from the conference room.

    Mei Ting's coquettish demeanor greatly changed the impression of the officers present on her. It turns out that not all military commanders are cold-blooded animals. The way Mei Ting looked just now was no different from ordinary girls.  What a difference!  Also known to be shy and blushing.

    The meeting ended in a joyful atmosphere. The officers walked around and laughed and talked about the interesting incident that had just happened.

    Tang Qiuli stayed in Huangyadong for three days, checking the defense deployment here, and was very satisfied with Brother Qiu Sheng's work.

    Three days later, under the escort of the security forces, Mei Ting and I left Huangyadong and rushed back to Peiping, where there were still many things to deal with.
