Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. In this half month, the national army in southern Hebei Province made a lot of money.
As Li Guoyao had expected, the first thing after these national army troops stationed in various places was to impose various exorbitant taxes on the people.
There is nothing wrong with taxing the people, but due to the impact of the war, the financial order of the National Government has long been in chaos, and normal taxation has been affected as never before.
Even in the areas controlled by the National Government, in addition to the levy of budgetary quotas, counties, townships and Bao also arbitrarily assessed taxes, levied surcharges excessively, levied excessive taxes, cleverly created names, and assessed taxes at different levels. The names were numerous and the amounts doubled.
In addition to regular taxes, the government also levies various additional taxes. There are many tax checkpoints for collecting lijin or similar lijin. The people are destitute and their wealth is exhausted, and there are many evils.
And this is still an area ruled by the National Government, and war zones like southern Hebei are even more serious. Since the Japanese may be driven away after occupying these places for a period of time, and the national army may be finished after occupying them for a period of time, so most of them People come here just to make a buck and leave, not caring about the lives of local people.
As a result, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in each war zone are numerous and numerous, including pre-borrowing money and grain, pre-levying money and grain, temporary additional levies of money and grain, temporary collection of money and grain, temporary distribution of money and grain, etc.
Take a county in Handan as an example. In addition to the normal taxation, after the national army entered the country, it also added millet donations, mountain goods donations, outbound donations, charcoal scale donations, oil pressing donations, grain donations, school donations, fur goods donations, and theater donations. There are more than a dozen kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, such as donations for medicines, donations for livestock heads, etc.
Then, the training was not enough, the repairs of the National Corporation, the insured team through the model, the recruit collection, and the collection of the labor and military consumption, etc., basically a day donated.
"The common people are being oppressed to the point of being speechless. If you don't give up, those soldiers don't care about you!"
In addition to the army taxing the people, because the Japanese and puppet forces in the area were driven out in a short period of time, many landlords and gentry also jumped out to cause trouble at this time.
After these landlords and gentry were looted by the Japanese army, in order to restore their original financial status, they used the land in their hands to take advantage of the famine to increase deposits and rents, extracting the blood and sweat of the tenant farmers; or they refused to sell the grain and demanded high prices; or smuggled it to other places , make huge profits; or control the warehouses to accumulate grain and engage in corruption and fraud; they also use usury to exploit farmers.
"Although the people in the war zone had just harvested food, they could not withstand such a disaster. For a while, the people complained.
But even so, there are still people who are not satisfied and want to grab more benefits!
This person is none other than Shi Yousan, Commander-in-Chief of the 39th Group Army!
Feixiang. Headquarters of the 39th Group Army.
The original Feixiang Japanese garrison headquarters was changed to the 39th Army Headquarters. Perhaps in order to show the grandeur of the Army Headquarters, Shi Yousan also hired someone to paint the place, making it look like a new house.
In a room inside the headquarters, Shi Yousan was talking with Chief of Staff Wang Qinghan. Sitting in the main seat, Shi Yousan took a list and said calmly: "Chief of Staff Wang, the tax collection is a bit slow!"
Wang Qinghan said hurriedly: "Chief, it's not that you are in a humble position and you don't pay attention to things, but that you have just collected the regular taxes, and the people don't have any money. Even if you have money, he is not willing to pay it!"
"Huh, if I don't hand it over, can't you rob it? Are all the fire sticks in your hands?"
" Shi Yousan is very experienced in collecting taxes. How can the people willingly hand over the food, money and materials in their hands? They are not stupid, so this tax collection has to rely on guns in their hands.
I remember when he was stationed in Suiyuan, the troops had no money or food, and the unruly people were unwilling to pay and secretly resisted him. So Shi Yousan, with the help of local landlords, gentry, and wealthy businessmen, shot him dead in less than half a year. There are more than 500 unruly people. Afterwards, there are still people who dare not pay or pay taxes!
"Chief Commander, we are the national army after all. Will doing this"
"Humph, the national army? Now besides ourselves, who else regards us as the national army?" Shi Yousan said disdainfully.
Hearing this, Wang Qinghan fell silent. He knew that what Shi Yousan said was the truth!
In the second half of last year, the 39th Group Army was ordered to deploy to the Hebei-Cha War Zone, and with the help of the Russian Eighth Route Army, it gained a certain strength in southern Hebei. Then Shi Yousan accepted the order from Chongqing to "work together to eliminate the Eighth Route Army" and began to cause friction with the Eighth Route Army. .
For this reason, Shi Yousan sent out troops many times to massacre the rear personnel of the Eighth Route Army, destroy the anti-Japanese democratic regime, and actively provoked conflicts to carry out the war.??Eighth Route Army.
In January of this year, Shi Yousan commanded more than 17,000 troops from the 69th Military Headquarters to attack the Eighth Route Army near Pinghan Road in the southern Hebei and Hebei-Shandong-Henan regions. Both attacks were repulsed.
In February, Zhu Huaibing, Shi You and other troops once again attacked the Eighth Route Army in Taihang and Jinan areas from the east and west sides of Pinghan Road, targeting the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was forced to fight back in self-defense. In February and March, it launched the Jinnan Campaign and the Weidong Campaign, annihilating most of the three armies of Shiyou.
???????????????????????????????????????????: Seeing that the situation was not good, they were afraid that the main force of the Eighth Route Army would surround and annihilate them, so they fled towards Luxi, burning, killing and looting along the way. The local people hated them and supported the Eighth Route Army to drive Shibu out of southern Hebei.
At this time, the nature of his good friend to act at the whim of the situation recurred again. When he saw that the situation was not good for him, he contacted the traitor Zhang Lanfeng and reached an agreement with the Japanese army to jointly attack the Eighth Route Army.
Shi Yousan had greater ambitions. He was not satisfied with living in a corner of peace. He wanted to use the power of the Japanese to dominate North China, so he sent his younger brother Shi Youxin as his plenipotentiary representative to visit the Japanese garrison commander Sasaki. The two sides signed the so-called mutual defense against communism. agreement!
After that, the Japanese army used the excuse that their troops were weak and unable to control the occupied areas, so they stationed the three groups of friends in Puyang at the junction of Henan and Shandong to implement joint defense with the Japanese and puppet troops to jointly deal with the anti-Japanese Eighth Route Army.
In July, Shi Yousan colluded with the Japanese and puppet troops and fled back to southern Hebei. Unexpectedly, the anti-Japanese base area and the Eighth Route Army became stronger at this time. Instead, Shi Yousan was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and its headquarters in Gongzhuang. He was able to escape with the help of the Japanese army.
At this time, it has become an open secret that Shi Yousan surrendered to the Japanese army.
For this reason, the commander of the First War Zone, Wei Lihuang, had already scorned Shi Sanyou's actions. He once told Shi Sanyou in a telegram: "Your dealings with the Japanese and puppets have caused trouble in the city. I hope you will take care of yourself. I heard that you want to be the provincial chairman. I am willing to do my best to report to the central government." Recommended!¡±
Friend San answered the call and said: "I am willing to follow Jun Zuo to fight against Japan to the end, and I dare not change my mind!"
"But the good friends are still talking about two things, and they are getting worse. Therefore, most of the national army generals in southern Hebei are superficial brothers to the three friends, but secretly they are wary of them.
Although Wang Qinghan also knew that Shi Yousan was entirely to blame for his fate, his fate had become one with his, and he could only give him advice.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Qinghan said again: "Chief Sir, to be honest, we can collect more than 10 million kilograms of grain and more than 1.5 million yuan in cash in more than half a month. It is already very good. You must know that Feixiang is now In addition, there are only 500,000 to 600,000 people in Guangping and Guangping, and the total is less than 130,000 households. In other words, including the old, young, orphans and widows, each household has paid us more than 100 kilograms of grain and more than 10 yuan in cash on average. , no matter how hard you squeeze it, there won¡¯t be much oil or water left!¡±
Shi Yousan frowned and said: "Then what should we do? Ten million kilograms of grain seems like a lot, but you also know that we have recruited a lot of new soldiers during this period, with a total strength of more than 30,000. The rations and military pay can also support it." It won¡¯t be long!¡±
Wang Qinghan gritted his teeth and said: "Then expand the territory. Only by expanding the territory, we can collect taxes from more people!"
Shi Yousan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Didn't the defense zone just be divided? How can we expand the territory?"
Three words popped out of Wang Qinghan¡¯s mouth: ¡°Japanese!¡±
Shi Yousan nodded thoughtfully
