Chapter 222: The Qing Court's Quest for Peace (5)
This time, a flight squadron was stationed in Kulen for two purposes, one of course, was to test the relevant performance of the aircraft and the effect in practical use.
In the previous battles in East China, the aerial reconnaissance of UAVs or helicopters has played a great role, but with the passage of time, the helicopters and UAVs brought by the crossing have more than 7 percent of the damage, which is a helicopter, because the special aviation fuel is only about 10 percent left, so although there are still 4, The five helicopters were in good condition and could be lifted to the center, but they were also grounded unlimitedly, and most of the pilots and ground crews, with the exception of a few who changed careers, joined the development of fixed-wing aircraft and the formation of flight units. There are still 6 large and medium-sized UAVs that can fly, and there are more than 30 small UAVs, but they are now all classified as super-grade materials and can only be used after the approval of the Executive Yuan. Therefore, the future aerial reconnaissance missions are basically completed by fixed-wing aircraft produced in this era, and East China is a big step ahead of the world in this regard, but the research and development, manufacturing, and use of fixed-wing aircraft require a large amount of actual data for reference, this time not only in Kulen, but also in Manchuria, the Northeast Military Region, a flight squadron was also arranged, that is, to test the effect of fixed-wing aircraft in practical use.
The other intention was to use the aircraft to intimidate and intimidate the Mongolian allied tribes.
Now the overall social economy of Mongolia is very backward, theology and religion have a huge market here, so the plane can also play a great role here, East China ** in the first landing, there are many times to use aircraft to intimidate people in this era, have achieved very good results, after all, in this era, everything that can fly has a great sense of awe, and the plane can naturally play such a role here.
Of the 120 trucks, 100 were carrying supplies and equipment needed by the Cullen, the other 20 were loaded with four escorted Army troops, and the remaining 16 were carrying the first batch of six aircraft, including four single-seaters and two two-seater flyers, with corresponding ground support equipment and spare parts.
After the convoy arrived at Kulun, it was warmly welcomed by Ouyang Longxing, on the one hand, the materials and equipment are indeed needed by the Kulun side, although it has not yet reached the point of lack of materials, but the reserves in this area are of course the more abundant the better, Bijing Kulun is too far away from the area controlled by East China, although the transportation capacity of East China has been greatly improved, but it is still very difficult to maintain the supply of materials from Kulun, unless the road from Chifeng to Kulun and the strongholds along the way are completed. In fact, it is only about 800 kilometers from Manchuria to Kulun, which is about one-third shorter than Chifeng to Kulun, but this line is basically close to the border between Outer Mongolia and Russia.
On the other hand, Ouyang Longxing can also hand over the administrative and civil affairs of Kulun to the administrative team headed by Gong Jianyang, and he can only take care of military affairs wholeheartedly. Since Ouyang Longxing's troops arrived in Kulun, his main energy was on administrative affairs, Chen Jingang completely left it alone, fortunately, Ouyang Longxing had experience in this area, and during the Jinzhou Campaign, he participated in the management of local administrative affairs, and Kulun's place was not large, and the population was not large, only more than 60,000 people, so it was not too troublesome to manage.
However, after Chen Jingang captured the city of Wuyali Sutai, the situation changed, and the Qimeng tribes around Kulun sent people to Kulun one after another, expressing their willingness to return to East China**, and some of the banner owners and leaders of the Qimeng tribes rushed to meet Ouyang Longxing in person to show their sincerity.
After all, at this time, the Mongolian Banner League tribes can also see the current general trend, the strength of East China, no one can contend with it, and now Jebtsundamba VIII has at least surrendered to East China in name, and the Banner League tribes have also lost their co-owners who can lead them, and they are even more powerless to resist East China**, if it is a Banner League tribe far away from Kulun, it can also be temporarily avoided, but the Flag League tribes around Kulun have to consider the survival of the tribe.
In the past, the Mongolian tribes were migrated and nomadic to live, the theory is that they can move at will in the entire Mongolian region, of course, several large tribes have their own relatively fixed sphere of influence, but the scope of migration is still quite broad, but during the reign of the Chunting Dynasty, the flag alliance system was implemented in Mongolia, the large tribes were divided into a number of flag leagues, and the sphere of influence of each flag league was delineated, and nomadism could only be carried out within the scope of their own flag league, which greatly limited the migration range of herdsmen, which was conducive to the Qing court's control of Mongolia.
The Flag League system has been implemented in Mongolia for nearly 300 years, and the ministries are basically accustomed to this system, but at this time, it restricts the choice of the Flag League tribes around Kulun, because once they flee, they will enter the scope of other Flag Leagues, either causing disputes, or breaking the annexation of other Flag League ranges, so some Flag League tribes think that even if Jebtsundamba VIII has been subordinated to East China**, there is no need for them to insist anymore, and some Flag League tribes think that they can temporarily go to East China** Surrender, wait for the opportunity, if the Qing court sent troops to recover Mongolia, then immediately anyway; when some of the Banner League tribes still chose to relocate, but in the end there were still more than 20 Banner League, surrendering to East China.
However, how to manage these surrendered Banner Alliances is not something that Ouyang Longxing can handle, after all, this can only be done by professional administrators, so Ouyang Longxing can only welcome the Banner Alliance tribe that expresses his submission, and then let them go back to the tribe to wait for news. Now that Gong Jianyang's group of people has arrived, it is just right to hand over these things to them, and Ouyang Longxing has also thrown off a big burden.
Of course, Gong Jianyang is not the only one who came this time, including him, there are 5 veterans, one of whom participated in the competition for the person in charge of Kulun, although he failed, he was also willing to come to Kulun to work, and became Gong Jianyang's deputy, called Zhang Liyuan, and the other two were Gong Jianyang's subordinates who served as the mayor of Yantai. Liu Qinglan, the last one is a female doctor, called Ulan Toya, is a Mongolian in the old time and space, and when she crossed over, she was a military nurse on a passenger ro-ro ship, and she was a colleague of Zhou Weiying, and now she has been promoted to the medical director, she volunteered to work in Kulen, the reason is that she wants to go back to her hometown to see and do something for her hometown, although in the old time and space, her nationality is Hohhot, but according to herself, in her grandfather's generation, it is actually a Mongolian who returned from Kulen, so Kulen can also be regarded as a hometown. Of course, the trip to Cullen also requires medical personnel.
Although Kulen is not big, but as a newly occupied area, it is still a small area, and there are only 5 veterans in the administrative group, which is obviously a few, not to mention that in the future this is the administrative group of the entire Outer Mongolia region, but under the principle of voluntariness, this result can only be accepted, fortunately, the current patriarch is no longer stunned when he first landed on the shore, and he has accumulated some administrative experience, and there are a number of available people, so there will not be too much of a problem. There are more than 90 people in total, of which 40 are Mongolian workers provided by Jinzhou. In the Battle of Jinzhou, East China ** occupied part of the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and was temporarily placed under the management of Jinzhou, and Gao Jin also intended to select and train Mongolian staff to prepare for the future control of the entire Mongolian region by East China**.
Although there are still certain differences between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, compared with the Han Chinese, Mongolian staff members are obviously more suitable for Kulun's work, and this time Gao Jin selected 40 people from the Mongolian staff in Jinzhou to join Kulen's administrative group. In this way, the total number of people in the entire Cullen administrative group exceeds 100 people, which is not low.
On the second day after Gong Jianyang and his entourage arrived in Kulun, Ouyang Longxing handed over the administrative power of Kulun. On the way to Kulun, Gong Jianyang and others agreed on the division of administrative management in Kulun; Gong Jianyang was, of course, in charge of the overall situation, Zhang Liyuan was in charge of civil affairs organization and personnel; Yin Hong was in charge of economics, commerce, and finance; Liu Qinglan was in charge of judicial, public security, and daily management; and Ulan Toya was in charge of culture, education, and public health. Therefore, at this time, arrangements are made according to the planned management division, and everyone takes up their posts, and their subordinate staff are arranged to take over various matters.
Of course, since Kulen is still a military administrative region, and will maintain a certain degree of military management for a considerable period of time in the future, the people's army will basically be responsible for public security work, but in the future, among the troops stationed in Kulen, there will be a brigade of the National Guard to come with the team to be responsible for the security work in Kulen.
Since the daily order of Cullen had been restored at this time, and the residents of Cullen basically did not have much resistance to the rule of East China, it only took one day for the handover of various departments and various tasks to be completed, and the administrative organs of Cullen were basically formed, and all departments took over the affairs they were responsible for and began to work. Of course, there were some minor problems during the whole handover process, but on the whole, the establishment of the new administrative system went very smoothly.
After dealing with these most basic affairs, the first thing Gong Jianyang has to deal with is Jebtsundamba VIII, after all, his identity is special and a little sensitive, and East China now needs the cooperation of Jebzundamba VIII. After the People's Army occupied Kulun, Jebtsundamba VIII's family and some of the former Kulun officials were placed under house arrest in the Winter Palace, Chen Jingang and Ouyang Longxing both met Jebzundamba VIII and asked him to cooperate with the work of the People's Army, of course, both of them also promised Buzundamba VIII that as long as he fully cooperated, East China ** could guarantee his personal safety.
