Chapter Seventy-Three: The Problem of Eating
Jiang Yuenu got up very early today, and when Jia Hongxian and Zhe Meiluan went out to work, she immediately picked up the guitar - after Qin Mu finished singing yesterday, Jiang Yuenu snatched the guitar.
She was in the same room with Ren Xiaoxiao, and Ren Xiaoxiao also went to Bianliang to watch Qin Mu's competition, but they didn't come back together. The prosperity of Bianliang is full of attraction to Ren Xiaoxiao, who is still young, and it is rare to come once, of course, to play for a few more days.
Now there are only two people left in the East Cross Courtyard, Jiang Yuenu and Fang Haoyin. However, Jiang Yuenu didn't know that Fang Haoyin hadn't gotten up yet, thinking that she was the only one in the yard, she followed Qin Mu's example, hung the guitar on her body, and played it lightly a few times.
This musical instrument Jiang Yuenu has never seen before, and Da Song does not have it. However, at her level, any instrument is at her fingertips, especially when Qin Mu played yesterday, everyone else was intoxicated by the song, but she envied Fang Haoyin's good life while learning Qin Mu's fingering with her heart.
Now there is no one in the yard, just practicing.
It's just that after a moment of familiarity, the song changed from jerky to proficient, and the song "Give It to Me" was perfectly interpreted by Jiang Yuenu.
She has been immersed in musical instruments since she was a child, and compared to an amateur like Qin Mu, she is not half a point higher. "Give It to Me" played by her has a unique flavor.
“……
Give me the corners of your mouth and eyes with a smile, and give you my vigorous longing and tenderness.
……”
Jiang Yuenu feels that this lyric is a portrayal of her mood. The corners of Qin Mu's mouth and eyes all made her infatuated, and she did not hesitate to die for love, isn't this vigorous enough? I am the vigorous desire and gentleness.
Recalling the scenes with Qin Mu, Jiang Yuenu was full of joy. Now that my sisters are in the cave with Qin Lang, I am left alone, I don't know which day will be my happiest day?
Is it your birthday? But it will be a long time coming, until October, and alas, I wish it would be over soon.
Under the same blue sky, some people are worried that the days are passing slowly, and some people are anxious about the lack of time.
Qin Mu felt that time was too tight. It is now the third year of Xuanhe, and it is only thirteen years before the deadline given by the cabinet. All of his capital is in Wujiazhuang, a 100-acre "Wujiazhuang Gongye Park", which contains pulp mills, paper mills, cigarette factories, and match factories. Although a few factories can provide him with a large amount of cash, it is useless for the time being for the sake of fighting for the world.
You can't knock down Eurasia with a match in one hand and a cigarette in the other, right? It's not the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, an opium gun to fight the world.
To achieve great goals, it is simply impossible without industry. And it must be heavy industry, without which everything is in the air. From now to the deadline, Qin Mu had calculated that there were still more than six hundred less than seven hundred chances to cross. With the space of the cabinet, even if it is large, pulling ten tons of equipment at a time is only six or seven thousand tons of materials.
Enlarge the point, to 10,000 tons, such a material reserve, even during the First World War, it can't be fought anywhere, not to mention that the war that Qin Mu wants to fight is to Fusang in the east and the Persian Gulf in the west, in such a vast land, 10,000 tons of materials are sprinkled, just like a handful of pepper sprinkled on the West Lake, can there be a little taste?
It is necessary to establish its own complete heavy industry system in this time and space, and the first step is to have a coal and steel complex. Without steel, everything is a dream.
More steel, more iron, is the first key node in Qin Mu's overall plan.
According to the information of later generations, combined with the current actual situation, Qin Mu chose Zaozhuang as his coal and steel base.
To make steel and iron, you must first have coal. Zaozhuang Coal Mine was very famous in later generations, and an old movie "Railway Guerrilla" mentioned Zaozhuang Coal Mine. This mine has a long history of development, the Qing Dynasty began in the Guangxu period, according to the data, the coal here belongs to the fertile coal, the most suitable for smelting steel.
It can be seen that even the Japanese devils are looking at the place that is a good place.
And the key place is that Zaozhuang is next to Weishan Lake.
"The sun is setting in the west
It is quiet on Weishan Lake
Play my beloved earthen lute
Sing that beautiful song
Climb aboard a speeding train
It's like riding a galloping horse
stations and railway lines
It's a good battlefield for us to kill the enemy."
The theme song of the Railway Guerrillas says it all. There is water here, but also suitable for building a railway, Zaozhuang a little to the south, that is, at the southern end of Weishan Lake, is the Great Song Dynasty's Li Guojian, which is a famous iron mine in this time and space.
There is coal, there is iron, and there is also the convenience of water transportation, and according to the development of later generations, there is not much difficulty in building railways here.
This is simply an excellent base for coal and steel complexes. Qin Mu had to take it down.
However, if you want to take the area of Weishan Lake, you must take the Wuzhang River, cross Liangshanluo, and then take Surabaya to enter Weishan Lake. Therefore, Liangshan naturally became an obstacle that Qin Mu had to solve.
In this time and space, as far as the current situation is concerned, waterways are the only channel for transporting bulk commodities, and land routes do not need to be considered at all.
Wuzhang River is the only main road, but there is a Liangshan stuck at the throat, and there is a group of bandits robbing houses and houses on it, how can this reassure Qin Mu. They had to be overturned.
The destruction of Liangshan was planned by Qin Mu a long time ago, whether they fought Wujiazhuang or not, killed Xiao Tao or not, Qin Mu would destroy Liangshan. However, since it was actually Liang Shan's first move, this made Qin Mu's counterattack stand on the moral high ground.
If you beat me, I will destroy your whole family. The division is famous, and like King Wu's war, Qin Mu wants to "hang the people and cut down the crime".
Liang Shan provoked first, I hit you in self-defense and counterattack, and it should be taken care of. If Liang Shan didn't come, Qin Mu would have to think of some other mobilization strategy. Now it's simple, "revenge" is the best subject.
It's just that the Guards Regiment has newly expanded its army and added dozens of soldiers of the Orijia Army, and the integration of the army has not yet been completed, and there are a large number of problems to be solved, and there will be no way to send troops for a while.
If nothing else, it's just a matter of eating, and it can cause chaos.
The original team of the Guards Regiment was Fang La's forbidden army, all of whom were from Jiangnan, and their staple food was rice. All along, there is no problem with the diet - it is all the same as the taste of Jiangnan people. But after the Folded Army joined, the problem came.
Zhejiajun is all from the northwest, and they want to eat pasta, and they always feel that they can't eat enough rice.
There is no equality in the army.
The army is the most hierarchical, and the officials crush people to death at the first level. On the battlefield, it depends on strict discipline and perfect organization. Without these two points, there is no difference between an army and a bandit. Otherwise, an army would be broken up and almost incapacitated.
Because without command and organization, there is no joint force. Even if everyone has a gun, they are just bandits with guns.
The armed forces of New China attach particular importance to this, and the armed forces must have strict organizational discipline, otherwise they will be warlords and bandits.
All of Qin Mu's army building concepts came from the army of New China in later generations, and naturally put organization and discipline at the forefront.
This has huge benefits, but it also comes with some unexpected problems.
As far as the Guards Regiment is concerned, the recruits have no human rights, they want to eat noodles, but the veterans want to eat rice, who do they listen to? It must be to listen to the superiors. In the Guards Regiment, not counting Qin Mu, the biggest official is Shi Yi, and now he is the commander of Shi Company, he is a native of Jiangnan, so he naturally wants to eat rice.
Moreover, he is a person with a good voice, and he knows the purpose of Jia Hongxian's recruitment, so he will naturally use his existing power to kill the prestige of the recruits.
So I had a meal of rice, and the Northwest soldiers who ate it were about to have stomach problems.
Naturally, the recruits will not do it. They are not honest farmers, nor are they petty traders full of merridoes. These people kill people like each other without blinking, and they will not flinch in the face of the fierce Iron Harrier, let alone in the face of Jiangnan soldiers.
Everyone is the same, why do they eat rice every day instead of rolling noodles.
So there was a conflict between the recruits and the veterans. Finally, the new and old soldiers have seen Qin Mu's magic, and no one dares to violate the regulations set by Qin Mu, so there have been no serious incidents, but small fights are continuous.
This also depends on Qin Mu taking precautions. After the recruits enlisted in the army, they did not go through separate formation training, but all of them were broken up and reorganized. There are veterans and recruits in a squad, so that both recruits and veterans can't hold a group.
There will be no direct confrontation between one class and two classes.
There are Jiangnan soldiers and Northwest soldiers in the first squad, and the same is true for the second squad, so there is no direct conflict between the two squads. The fuss is all internal contradictions.
But the problem must be solved, and it cannot be allowed to ferment. Qin Mu came to the barracks today to deal with this problem.
Looking at the nearly 100 soldiers of the Guards Regiment neatly lined up under the review stage, Qin Mu's originally somewhat irritable mind gradually calmed down.
The iron and blue in front of him is strength, iron and blood, and the capital to dominate the world.
Think about the first time I crossed over, in Ren Xiaoxiao's wedding room, naked, with nothing. It's really nothing, not even a single trouser toe. By now, there has been a prototype of a later army. What problems can't be solved by yourself?
Starting a business is tough, and starting your own business is even harder. In a limited time, to complete the almost impossible goal, if you sigh again, then you can only sigh.
"Sing with me, comrades." Qin Mu didn't say a word, and took the lead in singing.
"Unity is strength, unity is strength.
This strength is iron, this strength is steel,
Harder than iron and stronger than steel.
……
Let all undemocratic systems die,
To the sun, to freedom,
Shine towards New China!
”
Company Commander Shi looked at Qin Mu on the review stand, and suddenly felt ashamed.
This army, which was built by Commander Qin, is a brand-new army and an epoch-making army. The goal of the Guards Regiment is so ambitious, it will span tens of thousands of miles and conquer the world. We want to set off towards the sun, towards freedom, towards the establishment of a new country, how can we be so unbearable, and even have a stomach full of flies and dogs.
Shi Yi felt that his face was about to be ripe. Captain Qin didn't say a word, he had already expressed his attitude. If you can't understand it, then you will be abandoned by the Guards Regiment and the new era.
Shi Yi clearly understood that by chance, he joined a new army, and he also wanted to create a new world, and the leader of this world was Qin Mu. couldn't keep up with Qin Mu's pace, so he was only eliminated.
Even a thorn like Liu Yunfei had compared with Captain Qin before, once he joined the Guards Regiment, he would completely demand himself with the highest specifications, and there would be no shadow of a scoundrel in Bianliang City. He is the platoon commander, and even the Jiangnan soldiers have no objections, and they are indeed outstanding.
As a company commander, how can he artificially create contradictions?
With this reflection, Shi Yi couldn't wait to hide his head in the crotch of his pants.
But he couldn't do this, he was the company commander, and the soldiers of the whole company looked at him, and the commander of the Qin regiment also looked at him.
The army doesn't need to be cowardly, if it is wrong, it must be recognized, and it is still a man if it is changed.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi immediately threw all his cranky thoughts out of the clouds, and sang loudly with the head of the regiment: "Unity is strength......
