The negotiation agreement was finalized, and the Second Cavalry Division on the side of the Wo River quickly withdrew to the Woye side as agreed. However, for the Ma family cavalry who witnessed all this at this moment, they all felt a little uncomfortable.

Although they were provoking first this time, they were surrounded and annihilated a cavalry regiment by the Eighth Route Army, and also paid a considerable amount of compensation. Even if the weapons and horses that originally belonged to them were asked to pay for redemption in the end.

The soldiers believed in and respected the strong. The Eighth Route Army, which had retreated with rich spoils, undoubtedly slapped the Ma family army hard. But some cavalry still felt that they should be cautious when dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the future.

This time, they not only joined a cavalry regiment, but the place where the Pingluo Cavalry Division collected extra money in the past was also taken away by the Eighth Route Army. In the past, they only needed to garrison the Wohe side, but now they needed to arrange an extra line of defense.

Although many people think that the Eighth Route Army should not be able to fight with them for the time being. However, after the Eighth Route Army occupied Wohu Mountain, the first batch of troops stationed in a strengthening regiment, how could they not beware of the situation?

He Zhengdao naturally would not be too worried about the officers and soldiers of the Ma family army. In fact, if it were not for the current situation, He Zhengdao really wanted to take this opportunity to liberate the entire Ningxia in one battle.

But the Ma family army is not made of mud. In addition, Ma Hongkui has been in charge of Ningxia for many years, so he naturally has a certain heart of the people. If he really wants to attack Ningxia, he will definitely not be able to recover the entire territory in a short period of time. It will take a certain amount of time to digest the fruits of victory.

The strategy He Zhengdao has adopted is to take a tough military stance to let the Ma family army know that the consequences of provoking the Eighth Route Army are very serious. Secondly, another relatively moderate method is adopted to continuously control the economy and source of weapons of the Ma family army.

Through commerce and trade, the Eighth Route Army's influence in Ningxia is continuously expanded, and the Eighth Route Army is currently constantly infiltrating the Ningxia border. As long as the people of Ningxia contact the Eighth Route Army a few times, I believe that some people who resisted the Ma family army can be found.

To put it simply, He Zhengdao prefers to "boil the frog in warm water" to complete the subversion and overthrow of it from the inside. In this way, it is easier for the people of Ningxia and the Eighth Route Army to accept it.

After all, since the Qing Dynasty ended its rule over China, the Republic of China has been in chaos until now, and it has a lot to do with the mutual conquest of warlords from all over the country. If you can fight less in civil war, try to fight as little as possible!

With the compensation given by Ma Hongkui gritted his teeth, the Second Cavalry Division, which returned to the city triumphantly, also received warm support and welcome from the people of the fertile world. After the news of this battle spread, the happiest people were undoubtedly the local people.

Looking at the cavalry main force with a strict military appearance, many people and gentry stayed in the city also knew that there was still a certain gap between the garrison troops and the main force. With such troops, they could indeed live a peaceful life.

The Second Cavalry Division stationed in Woye City will take a short rest here. After the New Year, they will return to their headquarters in Ordos. For them next year, they may also be transferred to the front line for combat.

He Zhengdao, who also entered the fertile field with the Second Cavalry Division, was naturally here to inspect the work. In order to ensure that the news was not leaked, only the military and political chief of the military and political officer of the military government knew about He Zhengdao's arrival in Vauye City.

The county magistrate of the Woye Government, who was invited to the command of the garrison regiment, looked at Wu Dabiao with a smile on his face and said, "Commander, this is Comrade Zhao Ming, the county magistrate of the Woye Democratic Government. County magistrate Zhao, this is Commander He Zhengdao!"

In fact, when he heard Wu Dabiao's name, Zhao Ming already knew He Zhengdao's identity. But he never thought that as the highest person in charge of Yulin and Suiyuan would actually come to a border town like Woye in person.

He quickly saluted: "Hello Commander!"

Looking at Zhao Ming who was saluting, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Comrade Zhao Ming, hello! Are you a military-transferred cadre?"

‘Report to Commander, yes! I was the political director of the Third Regiment in the Yan'an Garrison Division earlier, and later studied at the Anti-Japanese University for half a year. When I was selecting local cadres in Yan'an in the previous period, I signed up and was assigned to serve as the county magistrate here.’

Such military-transferred cadres are actually quite common in democratic governments established by the Eighth Route Army. After all, although there are many military and political schools opened in Yan'an, there are not many cadres who can dominate the party.

Although there are many young cadres, most of these young cadres have taken up some jobs at the grassroots level of the border government after they are assigned from the school. Only after accumulating certain work experience can they be promoted.

On the contrary, some political cadres of the garrison troops, because they have experience in the army and have to undertake some government work. When selecting government officials at the county magistrate level, they often give priority to these people.

In fact, Yan'an is currently emphasizing the separation of military and political affairs. But during such a period, the military's power has always been quite good. In some places, even named after the military government, which is enough to show that military struggle is the top priority at the moment.

After he asked Zhao Ming to sit down, He Zhengdao continued: "For the reasons of confidentiality, I did not inform you about my coming. Earlier, because I had to implement the bandit suppression plan, I had been outside the city with the Second Cavalry Division.

I invited you here today, and I also wanted to learn about the military and political situation in Woye. Comrade Wu Dabiao had introduced the matters about the troops before. Now I'm going to ask you to hear what difficulties are there in the government?"

He knew that the commander in front of him was also his immediate superior. Moreover, He Zhengdao was not as proficient in government affairs as other main commanders. On the contrary, he was a commander who was very good at handling government affairs.

To put it too much, He Zhengdao should be among the senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army, but there are only a few people who are both civil and military. He Zhengdao has the right to manage some things in the border region government, so he can naturally also ask about some government affairs.

Listening to He Zhengdao's inquiry, Zhao Ming thought for a while and said, "Reporting to the commander, it is naturally unlikely to say that there is no difficulty. But I personally feel that the biggest difficulty is that the population here is too small.

However, the environment here is relatively harsh, and there is not much cultivated arable land, so many places are more suitable for grazing. Therefore, the government seems to be more difficult to implement the government. In addition, the personnel are relatively complex and difficult to manage!"

Zhao Ming did not hide too much about some of the difficult problems encountered in his work and reported them truthfully to He Zhengdao. What moved Zhao Ming was that when he was telling these problems, He Zhengdao was always keeping records.

After Zhao Ming finished his talk, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "The military region will implement the issue of public security next year. After this bandit suppression, I believe the problem of bandits on the border can be solved to a large extent.

In addition, given the complex situation here, after returning to Yulin, I will recommend that the headquarters be expanded to the garrison brigade into a garrison brigade. There is a garrison force of a brigade, and I believe that controlling local security should be no problem.

In addition, our army has successfully taken down Wohu Mountain in this battle to suppress the bandits. There, at least one cavalry brigade will be stationed in the future. At that time, the garrison brigade and the cavalry brigade can also join forces to combat the robbery cross-border robbers."

As soon as these words were said, Zhao Ming naturally breathed a sigh of relief. The security situation on the border was stable, and the number of people who came here to do business and settle down will naturally increase. It can be said that He Zhengdao's method is still very effective.

After a pause, He Zhengdao continued: "Given that the ranch resources in Woye are relatively rich, I plan to form a regiment-level military reclamation farm next year. At that time, some disabled veterans from the military cavalry unit will move here to settle down.

The government should find a resettlement ranch for them in advance. In addition, the people under their jurisdiction should be encouraged to reclaim more arable land and plant more trees. The cultivation of arable land should also be organized and planned.

Secondly, we should send more working groups to contact nomadic tribes in the country, so that they can gradually learn how to cultivate houses. The border government should also let special personnel manage some forage plants and harvest more forage plants in daily life as reserves.

As long as those herders feel our sincerity, they can personally realize that the benefits brought by settlement and grazing are no less than nomads, I believe they will stay in the settlement provided by the government. Over time, they will settle down with peace of mind.

When dealing with these nomadic tribes, we must take measures to comfort and deterrence. As long as they abide by our policies and obey our management, they can give more care and comfort.

If those who wantonly challenge our government policies can also give them some tough warnings to let them know that we are not afraid to provoke them. Starting next year, I will also call on some people to move to the border to settle down.

Needless to say, I believe you all should know that stability in the rear is very important to our party and army. As the first batch of cadres to serve in the border government, it is also very important to find a limited way to manage the border.

As for the situation where there are too few people in the country, it takes time to change. Planting the sycamore book will naturally attract golden phoenixes. I believe that seeing tangible benefits, the people are not stupid people, and they will make wise choices."

In He Zhengdao's vision, although the fertile field is not a border, it borders Ningxia and is not too far from Outer Mongolia. If this place can be built into a major border town, it will also play an important role in Mongolia's combat in the future.

There is a stable rear, and when troops enter Mongolia to fight in the future, the supply of materials will be much more convenient. Although it is too early to make such preparations, He Zhengdao likes to prepare for things in advance.

It is better to prepare for some things early than to cram the moment. Moreover, the better the fertile field is, it will be more attractive to the people living in Ningxia. At that time, I believe that more people in Ningxia will be attracted to settle here.
