Chapter 9: Young People's Choices (9)

"Do you want to hear my drunken talk? Still don't want to listen to my drunken talk? This sentence was not Ruan Xihao's own creation, but he learned it from Wei Ze.

Wei Ze is everyone's boss, and comrades have known for decades that Wei Ze does not like to drink. Let him take a small sip, he's okay, let him pour down a big cup, Wei Ze is really not good. More than ten years ago, there was a time when everyone was in high spirits, not intentionally, but there were many people toasting, and as a result, Wei Ze vomited. Later, when I was drinking again, there was a military commander named Zhao Jingtu, who didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and actually shouted, "This time the governor can't drink less than last time!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Ze's face changed, and he sneered, "It turns out that I still have to listen to Commander Zhao's orders!" ”

At this time, Zhao Jingtujun's face was like earth, and he didn't know how to deal with it when he stayed where he was. Since that time, no one has dared to persuade Wei Ze to drink more. Of course, when it's time to toast, everyone won't lose the number of etiquette. And there have been too many times, when everyone saw that Wei Ze was a little drunk, they wanted to "discuss things" with Wei Ze.

Looking at the group of soldiers of the Beijing Military Region, they listened to this sentence: "Do you want to listen to my drunken words?" Still don't want to listen to my drunken talk? After that, Ruan Xihao wondered if he had this kind of expression on his face when he heard Wei Ze say this. Ruan Xihao's evaluation of Wei Ze's words at that time was "The governor is too yin". In fact, everyone doesn't care if it's drunk or not, everyone just wants to hear Wei Ze agree to everyone's request, at least say something that everyone wants to hear.

Now that Ruan Xihao has said the same thing, what he really wants to say has nothing to do with drunken words, and it has nothing to do with whether he agrees to everyone's request. What Ruan Xihao wanted to say was actually "I don't care what you say, you also give me moderation!" ”

Ruan Xihao was very skeptical that Wei Ze had the same meaning back then. It would be too ruthless to criticize everyone directly. But if you don't stop everyone's actions, it will be impossible for Ruan Xihao to agree and agree with the speech, and he will chatter endlessly. Even if Zhang San doesn't say it, Li Si will take over the conversation. This kind of thing will go on and on.

After this wine, Ruan Xihao went back to rest. When he was about to continue the train north the next day, Ruan Xihao refused to see the Beijing gang again on the grounds that he had "drunk too much and felt uncomfortable". Although he knew that it was not appropriate to do this, Ruan Xihao was unhappy in his heart, he just didn't want to see them. The work in Beijing is not the intended content of Ruan Xihao's trip to the north, and the absence of these people will not affect the purpose of Ruan Xihao's trip.

The train was arranged a long time ago, and the train to Shenyang had long since stopped selling one-car sleepers. Just hang up Ruan Xihao's sleeper car. Five hours before getting on the bus, Ruan Xihao took a ride in a car borrowed by the Beijing Military Region and took a tour of Beijing. The former capital has also changed dramatically by this time, and as a transportation hub to the north, as a coal production center in the north, Beijing is full of vitality. That's the energy that the workers sparked.

The high-ranking officials and dignitaries in long robes are gone, the Eight Banners who carry cages and birds are gone, and the eunuchs who go out of the palace to do business in the city and the helpers who bow their heads and waists are gone. The city of Beijing is filled with coal miners, steelworkers, transport workers, and the facilities that have sprung up around this new industrial and mining city. The old arrogance, humility, and femininity were swept away from the city, and replaced by the masculinity characteristic of the industrial and mining city.

Like Nanjing, Beijing has undergone a comprehensive expansion and renovation. In addition to the famous landmarks, there is also a small area of hutong that serves as an urban landscape, and the rest of the area has become the most common urban appearance. That is, wide roads, neat poles on both sides of the road and nice green belts. Squares, parks, libraries, schools, living communities, and in some places fountains.

The canals in the south of the city, which had fallen into disrepair and were almost completely silted, were also dredged, the shacks along the river were demolished, and the green belt within 200 meters on both sides of the river was well built. This is a project that Nguyen Hee Ho once specifically instructed. Several rivers in Beijing have been carefully organized, which is not only a flood channel in Beijing on heavy rainy days, but also an important green belt in Beijing. After seeing Jiangnan, Ruan Xihao hopes to have better greening results even if he knows that Beijing is not Jiangnan.

After visiting the old place where he had worked hard, Nguyen Hee Ho got on the train. The content of these young people's discussions is different, and there are rumors that Nanjing has moved the capital. With the expansion of territory, Beijing is no longer an object of attack. You really can't see what the hell Japan and Goryeo can do. Moreover, Beijing still has the word "Beijing" hanging on it. That means that Beijing has not been deprived of the treatment of the capital.

Moreover, the relocation of the capital to Beijing is also intrinsically reasonable, and when the capital was moved from Guangdong to Nanjing, it was not that no one objected. Guangdong's industry once accounted for more than half of all of China. After moving the capital to Nanjing, it took more than ten years for the industry in the Yangtze River basin to develop at a rapid pace. If the capital can be moved to Beijing, the entire Yellow River basin and the northeast and northwest regions can receive state support and guidance.

Of course, the soldiers don't really feel this deeply, and it is something that makes the soldiers feel strong is something that has something to do with them. The Guangfu Army used to be an army basically composed of people from Liangguang and Anhui, and now there are soldiers from all over the country. In fact, the southerners may not be willing to serve as soldiers, but the number of soldiers from the area north of the Huai River is increasing. The Huai River has always been the dividing line between the north and south of China, and with the exception of Guangxi, the overall performance of the military personnel north of the Huai River has significantly exceeded that of the military personnel in the areas south of the Huai River. From the military's point of view, everyone also hopes that the north of the Huai River will receive the attention and support of the central authorities.

On this issue, Ruan Xihao discussed it with everyone. The sleeper compartment is detachable, and the reason why Ruan Xihao gave them a special compartment is because the baffles of the two sleeper compartments in the middle have been removed, and Ruan Xihao can have a meeting here. Whether the country should attach importance to the north or not, in fact, there is no need to consider this question, the north is vast and has a large population, and the state must of course attach importance to the north. The question now is how much to pay attention to. At least from the perspective of army building, this is also an important part of army building in the future. Engaging in army building is also something that the upper echelons of the Central Military Commission are now trying to consider.

After the train exited the customs, the scenery outside the train carriage attracted Nguyen Hee Ho. He was the political commissar of the Northern Military Region back then, and when he first arrived in the Northeast, it was simply uninhabited. Later, Ruan Xihao found that in fact, there was no one in the Northeast, but a large number of people were "hidden households", and those hidden households were separated from the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the Guan, and there was no situation where millions of local "Manchus" sacrificed their lives to fight for the small Manchu court, and these people were later co-opted.

There weren't enough people to fill the northeast, and now Nguyen was greeted by farmland and cottages that could be seen clearly on both sides of the railway. Cattle roam the fields, and cars are not uncommon. The entire Tohoku region has become lively due to the influx of large populations. It is already the largest commercial grain base in China, and it is also the first region in China to completely abolish agricultural taxes and adopt unified purchasing and marketing.

The train arrived at Shenyang Station, and Zhao Jingtu, commander of the Shenyang Military Region, and Wu Liao, political commissar, came to greet him. Wu Liao smiled: "Political Commissar Ruan, you're here." If you don't come again, we don't know what to say to our comrades on the farm. The comrades on the farm were very emotional, saying that we people should get out of here, and now it's time to get out! ”

"I don't think that's appropriate, what does that have to do with getting out? No one can erase everyone's credit. Ruan Xihao said immediately.

Zhao Jingtu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't the army farm canceled this time?" ”

Ruan Xihao looked at him left and right, "Revoke it or not, it is the decision of the Military Commission." The purpose of my visit this time is first to express my condolences to the comrades, everyone has worked hard. ”

If you are a comrade of the Military Commission, or a comrade who has been in the Military Commission, you can clearly hear a clear answer from Ruan Xihao's words. The Liberation Army doesn't talk so much nonsense, revocation is revocation, and revocation is revocation. Since Ruan Xihao does not deny it, it means that this matter must be done. It's just that in the process of doing this, the CMC hopes that the comrades will be able to unify their thinking. To put it more clearly, the Central Military Commission hopes that the comrades will not have too strong antagonistic feelings because of the abolition.

Wu Liao said with a smile: "The army's industrial management is good, but it would be a pity to revoke it." This is all the income of our army, and it is completely capable of supporting the army's logistics without other supplies. ”

"Aren't the masses in the Northeast unreliable?" Ruan Xihao asked seemingly casually.

Wu Liao was a little stunned by this question, he didn't expect Ruan Xihao to actually think of this question. After listening for a while, Wu Liao smiled and said, "Political Commissar Ruan, you can be deducted from me." I didn't say that the local masses are unreliable. I just want to say that there is so much we can do with the farm. When it comes to scientific farming and raising, the cooperation between our military and scientific research departments is very good. ”

"Oh? If that's the case, then we'll have to go to the farm. Ruan Xihao said with a smile.

The railway in the northeast is very well built, and the large railway starting from the Pacific Ocean, crossing Mongolia, and reaching Central Asia has also been preliminarily completed, and the rest is the gradual refinement of the internal railway network. Accompanied by Wu Liao and Zhao Jingtu, Ruan Xihao and his entourage went to the army farm on the Nenjiang Plain.

When they arrived at the first destination, the Red Star No. 3 Farm, the cadres who came to greet them looked strange, looking like they were about to say something, and they didn't have the excitement to accept the inspection at all.

"Where's your farm manager?" Wu Liao asked.

The receiving cadre hesitated for a while, and then whispered under Wu Liao's scrutinizing gaze: "Something happened to the field chief." Assassinated, assassinated by counter-revolutionaries! ”
