What a great place! Yang Tianfeng leaned his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and gently tapped the handrail. The natural and climatic conditions here are suitable, and the soil is fertile, which can provide reliable logistics supplies for the troops; the terrain is changing and surrounded by mountains, which also provides good conditions for guerrilla warfare; it is located at the junction of the four provinces of Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong. Such marginal areas have always been weak areas of politics and military, and have provided a relatively relaxed environment for future development.

A good place is a good place, but to take root and establish a foothold, you still need to go through fierce battles, and the battle will come very quickly. But isn’t this exactly what I expected? While the battle in Wuhan is in full swing, we will strive to open up our foundation. When the Japanese start to consolidate the rear, we have already gained wings, and that is the beginning of the real competition.

The knock on the door sounded, and Wu Yuansheng walked in, handed the list to Yang Tianfeng with a smile, and said, "What I copied from the Zhang family, hehe, we made a fortune. After half a year's military salary is enough, the food can be eaten for several months."

Yang Tianfeng looked at it roughly, put it on the table, pointed to the chair, signaled to Wu Yuansheng to sit down, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Xiao Wu, I want you to serve as the mayor, but I don't know if you want it?"

Wu Yuansheng was stunned for a moment and thought, saying that the mayor said it was big, but this was the first local official appointed by Yang Tianfeng since his expedition. Moreover, Huangkou Town is the activity center and supply base for this army, and its status is very important.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to show oneself. The waters rise and the ship is high. If Yang Tianfeng wins consecutively and his power expands, then as a "court minister", he will be promoted step by step from the mayor. And relatively speaking, being a local official, the security is much higher than in the army!

"Since Captain Yang is trusting, I will do my best." Wu Yuansheng had finished his thoughts and agreed with emotion.

Yang Tianfeng nodded. Wu Yuansheng had limited military achievements, but it should be feasible to use his mind to those forces that are accustomed to two-faced and three-faced swords. However, he still needs to remind him to prevent Wu Yuansheng from making mistakes in his work.

"Picking a batch and fighting a batch is a ruling method that has been tried and tested." Yang Tianfeng poured Wu Yuansheng a cup of tea and said earnestly: "When the world is peaceful, gentry will be used to rule the people; when the world is in war, they will change their courses and cannot be copied. We rely on the army, and most of the soldiers in the army are from poor backgrounds. Moreover, the recruitment and expansion of troops in the future cannot be separated from the people. As for those rich business landlords, to be honest, most of them are unreliable. For their own property, they are accustomed to changing their rulings at the same time."

"What the commander said is very true." Wu Yuansheng took a sip of tea and agreed: "The richer the more you are, the more afraid of death. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but the people dare to fight harder. How can they say that? **********************, the most ruthless is-"

In China's history, whenever they encounter foreign enemies, they surrender and flatter the enemy, but they are mostly knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Their bloodiness seems to be inversely proportional to the knowledge they have. Yang Tianfeng is also a little puzzled. Can reading make the bones soft? Or is it because Chinese education is born with this kind of poisonous and unique effect?

"Wuqing is the most scholar." Yang Tianfeng added with a smile: "Actually, it's not the case. You are also a scholar. When you look at things, don't be too stubborn.

"Haha, that's true." Wu Yuansheng accidentally walked around himself, quite embarrassed.

"It is better for the people, but it cannot be done in one step. It must be done step by step so that they can feel promising." Yang Tianfeng continued: "In fact, the people's requirements are not high, and they are the group of people who know how to be grateful."

Yang Tianfeng knew the principle of long-lasting flow, but he would not stand the glorious signs such as "for the country and the people", and then patted others on the shoulders and let them die generously, but he felt at ease.

People gather around you, say high, because they hope you can lead them to realize their dreams; low, because they hope to get the resources they need to pay for their lives, and it is best not to fool people with empty words.

A leader may not be confused by immediate interests, but for the common people who want to eat and live, then only immediate interests can satisfy them. Don’t call them no noble patriotism or great national sentiment. **********************, whenever the country is lost and the nation is in danger, most of the people who stand up are those simple people who are ignorant of their eyes.

Therefore, Yang Tianfeng not only wants his soldiers to benefit, but also wants the people in his territory to benefit, so that they can gather more popularity and receive more support and support. This idea and consideration that pays more attention to material motivation was influenced by Yang Tianfeng, but he often had conflicts with many people at that time.

Wu Yuansheng knew that the more Yang Tianfeng explained, the more trust Yang Tianfeng trusted him, so he nodded repeatedly and asked with concern: "What if the Japanese attack us? Can we protect the lives and property of the people? I have to know that, otherwise the big words will be difficult to accept!"

"This is indeed a problem." Yang Tianfeng touched his chin for a while and said, "We should not be too full of words. In my opinion, the people will not demand that the army and the Japanese fight to the death to protect their property and safety, but we do need to have practical measures to protect the people. For example, arrange layers of sentries; find that the enemy comes out to sweep, and report the news by igniting fire and setting off smoke. And instead of patronizing one's own escape, the masses should be organized to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and evacuate the enemy; the army should also try to delay harassing the Japanese invasion and win the necessary escape time for the people."

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were many troops carrying out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. The number of Kuomintang troops was large at the beginning, but not many people persisted until the end. Excluding other factors, the lack of attention to the people is one of the key reasons.

In this regard, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army did a good job. Although they did not have the strength to fight head-on with the Japanese, the various measures taken still made the people not very resentful.

"I understand." Wu Yuansheng is not a stupid person. Yang Tianfeng's words inspired him a lot. He gradually found some of Yang Tianfeng's thoughts and was secretly happy.

"You will take office tomorrow and take charge of our first occupation." Yang Tianfeng encouraged: "Slowly find some young people to be helpers. They are motivated and dare to do things."
