Yang Yun didn't fail to hear the meaning of this temptation, but it was not easy to answer, after all, the official document of the governor only hinted, so he had to deliberately pretend that he did not hear it.

Since Qian Shuiting of the Otaku Party was elected Speaker of the Senate, the situation in the Executive Committee has become complicated and delicate. Yang Yun coughed, trying to find a topic again.

"Report Chief! Director Lu sent an urgent message! "Suddenly, a correspondent from the county office sent a bag of documents.

Liu Xiang looked at the document bag covered with red sè fire paint, and thought to himself: "Didn't you just see it, what's the urgency!" He took it with one hand and signed the receipt of the mail.

In a quiet room in the Taoist temple, Liu Xiang opened this secret urgent letter and felt very relieved.

"The work of the secret front has also borne fruit!" He hurriedly called Yang Yun over.

"There are thousands more strong laborers." Liu Xiang said to Yang Yun with a smile, and Yang Yun was confused.

The document is about the final settlement of Baisha Water Village and Haikou Thousand Households.

These two places remained relatively independent after the peaceful entry of the Fu Bō army. However, after Tang Yunwen retreated from the remnants of He Town, he had formed a situation of being trapped in a lonely city, and although there were few casualties after the rout of Chengmai, his morale was low, and most of his equipment, grain and grass were lost. Most of the ships in Baisha Water Village were destroyed or lost during the siege of Qiongshan, and the rest were old and decaying ships that could not be used.

All the liliang that Tang Yunwen has now are less than 2,000 land and water battalions under his command and hundreds of military households in Haikou City, and the city a little farther away has either been taken over by the Senate or cut off from contact. Not to mention fighting, even self-protection is difficult to sustain. He was powerless to fight, and he did not dare to abandon his official position and flee, so he could only sit back and watch the army enter Qiongshan County, then occupy important places, and then launch a large-scale law and order war... In this series of activities, the officers and men of Haikou and Baisha Water Village always kept a state of ignorance so as not to set themselves on fire.

However, such a situation will eventually be broken, especially under the premise that the whole of Hainan Island will promote a new social system, and if it is expedient to retain the old government, there is no need to retain the old army at all. At the instigation of the General Administration of Civil Affairs and Political Security, a comprehensive acceptance and clean-up of the system of military household health centers on the entire Hainan Island began.

As for the military core of the Ming army on the whole island, the battalions of Haikou Suocheng and Baisha Water Village have become the focus of the solution.

In terms of force, it was easy for the Fu Bō army to deal with these Ming troops, but Liu Muzhou needed manpower and material resources, especially manpower. So it's a rather roundabout policy. The implementation was carried out by the General Directorate of Political Protection. After the Battle of Chengmai, the local military households and battalion soldiers under Tang Yunwen were released in batches. Among these released captives, a lot of "sand" has been planted that has surrendered to Lingao.

After these people were released along with the other prisoners, the political security department immediately used these lines to launch a rebellion against Tang Yunwen's ministry. Stir up discontent in the army and establish organizations in tandem. Tang Yunwen had heard of this, but since the defeat of Chengmai and the retreat of He Zhen, the generals either died or fled, and the remaining generals and leading officers did not dare to make any moves, for fear that the slightest move would lead to a mutiny. It is no longer easy to rely on these few people to barely maintain order, let alone carry out the purge at the risk of thieves outside the city who may interfere at any time.

This typhoon was a disaster for Liu Xiang, but for some people it was a great opportunity to solve the core of the official army on Hainan Island, and it was a great opportunity to completely disintegrate and take over all the officers and troops on the island. Under this directive, the institutions of the General Directorate of Political Protection were immediately put into action.

Liu Xiang did not know that Wu Mu, director of the Office of the General Administration of Political Security, had secretly come to Qiongshan three days ago and personally commanded the overall work from the workstation outside the Haikou Institute. When local assistance is needed, the local commissioner Lu Cheng will come forward.

With the assistance of these "sands," the granary of Tang Yunwen's ministry was "destroyed by the storm," which completely shattered the psychological defense line of those ordinary soldiers who were still waiting and watching. Out of the city and the camp is the territory of the thieves. If the Australians don't nod, they can't bring in a single rice or a leaf.

A few days later, the Haikou Institute and Baisha Water Village, which had begun to run short of food, had all collapsed.

Soldiers and military households left the guard one after another and demanded to "surrender". The treatment that Liu Muzhou prepared for them was: those who were willing to serve as soldiers, and who passed the physical examination and political examination, were recruited by the training director department of the Fu Bō army; Those who do not want to serve in the military and their families will be "purified" and handed over to the civil affairs departments for unified distribution, resettlement and farming.

Tang Yunwen himself and his personal soldiers, it doesn't matter whether they take refuge or not, if they want to come, they will be treated equally, and it doesn't matter if they don't want to come, let him take those few people and a not very good "boat" to continue to maintain Baisha Water Village as an empty coastal defense general. Of course, the soldiers' rations and salaries were not provided, and the salaries on the mainland could be paid as usual.

A large part of the reason why these people are willing to "surrender" is because of the lack of food. In the secret document, the Qiongshan County Office was asked to try to mobilize three to five days' worth of rations to supply the defectors of the Haikou Institute.

Therefore, Liu Xiang found Yang Yun and asked him to pick up this Panqiongshan County, and there was really not much grain he could dispatch. He had other considerations in mind, and with the population of this group of military households, the Executive Committee might not be so persistent in the population oppression of Qiongshan.

After listening to the situation, Yang Yun first said some correct nonsense such as "congratulations on the major achievements on all fronts", and then the two began to have an "active dialogue" about the relief of these military households. After all, the sudden addition of thousands of people was also an accident for Yang Yun, and he did not prepare such a standard of relief materials for them in advance.

The food problem was actually Yang Yun's second goal when he came to Qiongshan, and Wu De had given him a face-to-face lecture before he set out, asking him to try to get some "surplus grain" from Qiongshan, but after he arrived in Qiongshan, he realized that Liu Xiang had obvious resistance to the collection of surplus grain. The cooperation in the recruitment of labor can already be seen to be reluctant. On the issue of surplus grain, I am afraid that it will not be matched at all, but Liu Xiang is ready to resist the requisition of surplus grain, no matter how much grain the landlords in Qiongshan have, he is opposed to using means to steal this part of the people's grain in the disaster year. First of all, this endangers social stability, and secondly, in order to recover from the disaster, we must not only rely on the relief of the Planning House and the People's Committee for Civil Affairs, but also rely on local savings. As for how to force the big farmers to take out the grain, this should be an economic problem.

Just when almost all the work revolved around disaster relief, early this morning, an unexpected guest came to Qiongshan County.

"Old Tang, the two of us are so close, and your son won't send some red eggs when he is full moon!"

"Hehe, I roll in the coal pile all day long, where do the red eggs come from, and they are all black when they are boiled!" Tang Menglong took the opportunity to watch the children to go back to Lingao for an event, and wanted to transfer back to Lingao to be sent to other places, but he has not been able to do so for the time being.

Liu Xiang and Tang Menglong sat in the office, and Guo Linger brought a cup of freshly squeezed juice to each person.

"Why are you free today?" Liu Xiang asked.

"Hey, don't mention it. Finally, I received a few sections of the cable telegraph line from the mine, and several sections were washed away by the rain, but the iron wire did not know which one of the plagues had picked it up while it was raining. "It has been less than a month since the cable telegraph network from the Jiazi Coal Mine to Qiongshan County was opened.

Tang Menglong took a big sip of the drink and calmed down: "The Planning Institute also said that Qiongshan is a security area, and there is no need for a radio station, so I asked me to hand over the radio on the mine." I'm going to have to come to you to send a telegram. ”

"We need to fix it quickly!" Liu Xiang obviously saw that he hadn't finished his words yet, "The security district belongs to the security district, and the local work is not completely in place now." ”

"Of course, I'm preparing personnel, applying for supplies, and I'll start repairing them as soon as the rain stops." Tang Menglong said: "However, there are still some things in our mine that I want you to help with, Xiao Liu, you have to help me." ”

"Hey, why are you so polite! Your Jiazi Mine is a unit directly under the central government, and we must vigorously support it locally. ”

"Don't say anything direct. The night before yesterday, I contacted and said that the weather conditions were not good, and the ship carrying food supplies could not be opened. Tang Menglong said: "The grain stored in the mine is only enough for four days. Every day the workers have to eat 4,000 kcal of food, and the food stored in my side is consumed very quickly! In the past, I said that I had to give priority to the mine! ”

"The sea conditions have been bad these days, and in recent years, several places have been involved in the use of ships, and the capacity is relatively tight." Liu Xiang's heart tightened, I don't have much food here, I can't help it, so I have to say, "Alas, the production task of Jiazi Mine has been added again." But the manpower and machines don't add to me, so how can I increase production? As soon as the typhoon came, the shipping of the Nandu River had to be stopped, and the coal that came out could not be transported, and it was not a problem to pile it up by the river. Tang Menglong continued to complain, "Using a small barge to transport coal, the traction boat has broken down a lot, and I saw that a few ships were sent back for repair." This inland river transport team is really about to become Wang Xiaoer. ”

Although the quality of the Jiazi coal mine is poor, it is far inferior to the high-quality anthracite coal transported from Hongji. However, the coal of Jiazi Mine belongs to the Changchang Coal Measure, which has the advantage of low sulfur content, and is more suitable for metallurgical coke, and is the only supplier of coke of Mayuan Iron and Steel Complex at this stage.

The demand for coke in the No. 1 blast furnace is 30,000 tons per year. The No. 2 blast furnace is still under construction, and you can imagine how huge the gap in coking coal is.
