Chapter 275: A reservoir is to be built
It was a victory with zero casualties. Not only was no one in the Guards Regiment injured, but not even in the Zhejia Army bumped into it.
The four gates were completely blocked, and those inside could not get out, and those from outside could not enter. Of course, no one wanted to come in, and everyone who could run ran away.
The few remaining Liao troops who dared to resist were all killed by the Guards Regiment with Garand rifles.
The rest of the Liao army was already scared silly. They had never seen such a weapon, and they were inexplicably killed by a large number of people. They didn't see a single stone or an arrow.
Therefore, when the Zhejia army came to disarm, not only did they not resist, but they felt relieved.
If you are caught, you will never be killed inexplicably. They may even think that even if they die, there will always be a knife to cut it, at least they will understand it.
The Guards Regiment was the main force of this war, and each of them was elated.
This battle was the first battle of the founding of the country. And they fired their cannons, and their guns fought, and the city was taken. And there were no casualties. It can be said that it is perfect.
Post-war rewards, whether in this time and space or in future generations, are reserved programs. Zhe Keqiu has prepared a large amount of supplies a long time ago, and he can eat hard tonight.
But the fighters can relax, the officers cannot.
Shi Yi and Deng Cheng hastily ate two bites of food and came to the conference room.
Qin Mu was already waiting for them.
Subsequently, the Zhejia brothers also walked in.
Everyone was happy, but there was only a smile on their faces.
The senior officers of the Guards Regiment are no longer from this plane. And after this battle, he quickly broke away from the pattern of this time and space.
If it were to be placed in the original place, without losing a single person, and taking the enemy's city, it would be a miracle. Such a general must be the first general in the world.
From the emperor to the grassroots, honor and worship followed. If it is a battle that can be fought, it can make him happy for two years.
Because it was beaten down, it was defeated, and the rest had nothing to do with him, how he lived before and how he will live in the future.
But now it's completely different.
Taking Riverside City is just the beginning. The construction of a new riverfront is the most difficult and tiring work.
Zhe Keqiu was only happy for a while, then threw away all those useless emotions and listened to Qin Mu's explanation.
"We will now take Hebin, and after a short rest, we will continue to win Dongshengzhou." Qin Mu was also not humble, there was no need for this at this time, he pointed to the large map hanging behind him and carefully told his future plans.
"After taking Dongshengzhou, the Xiahetao area can be said to have completely fallen into our hands. This is a relatively isolated area. Within three or four years, this area would not be attacked by the combined forces of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Western Xia. β
Everyone nodded. They felt that even if Western Xia and Jin Guo could fight, the Great Song Dynasty would not have the guts. What kind of character Zhao Ji has, the brothers of the Zhe family know very well.
No matter who Xiahetao belongs to, in Zhao Ji's opinion, it is either Jin Guo or Western Xia, anyway, it is not his. Then don't look for trouble.
If the Great Song Dynasty did not send troops, even if the Jin State and the Western Xia jointly attacked, Zhe Keqiu would be confident that he would rely on the Guards Regiment and the Zhejia Army to hold this land.
"This is a period of strategic opportunity for us. As long as we are given four years, after that, it is not a question of whether we can hold it or not. β
"yes, it's time for us to beat them up." Fold Kecun slapped the table excitedly.
He is several years younger than his brother and is still a young man, so his personality is inevitably impulsive. After such a good battle, he couldn't vent his happy mood without slapping the table and kicking the chair.
If he hadn't known that Qin Mu was going to have a meeting tonight, he would definitely have a good drink.
"In order to be able to grasp the absolute initiative in four or five years, we need to get started in this area. The most important issue now is the issue of population. β
Qin Mu knew that the industries he could build in a limited time were all labor-intensive. This requires a large number of industrial workers.
And so many industrial workers need to eat, so they need enough farmers and land.
Qin Mu has an ultimate goal, which is to build the Hetao area into the United Kingdom when the sun never sets. Because the goal that the cabinet gave itself was actually close to being achieved in Britain.
Therefore, Qin Mu was ready to use Britain at the time of the Second Opium War as a model and start building his empire.
If nothing else, at least the number of troops has reference value. At that time, the British official army had 140,000 men, as well as a large navy.
Qin Mu's Guards Regiment could not be lower than this number. At the very least, the army must not be less than 140,000. The British army actually had 60,000 reserve militiamen, which could also be counted as part of the army.
Therefore, the army of 200,000 is Qin Mu's plan for the Guards Regiment.
Navy, wait and see. There are too many things now, and Qin Mu can't be busy for the time being.
A large number of soldiers, workers, and the governing bodies had to eat. If you can't feed these people's stomachs, it's nonsense to say anything.
The secondary industry must need the primary industry as the foundation.
Agriculture, right now, is still a top priority.
Now that Riverside City has been taken, it will be a matter of time before Dongshengzhou is located. Since it occupies such a large piece of land, water conservancy construction can be put on the agenda.
Without water conservancy, food production cannot be guaranteed, and without food, there is no way to feed a large enough population.
Qin Mu had never proposed to build water conservancy before, because the land was too small.
Water conservancy is different, it is a really huge system project. If you occupy a place with a large basin, you will engage in water conservancy, except for "beggar-thy-neighbor", digging a pit during a rainstorm and causing the next door to suffer, Qin Mu can't think of any other way.
Now, with a large enough space, the prerequisite has been established, then the water conservancy project must start immediately.
Qin Mu knew from the dust brought up by the jeep all the way that there was a serious shortage of water in this land.
A large population needs a lot of food, and a lot of food needs an abundance of water. If you want to have high food yields, you can't do without water.
Now that we have land and more than 3,000 captives, we can use them as cattle, and we will send them to do the most tiring and dangerous work, so that all the conditions for building water conservancy facilities are met.
"Here, we're going to build a reservoir." Qin Mu pointed to the map and said, "With this reservoir, the Xiahetao area will bid farewell to the scene of watching the sky and eating. This piece of land can achieve real drought and flood harvest, obtain high yields, and lay a solid foundation for our development. β
Fold can ask for a nod again and again.
My brother-in-law is so godly. I really don't know how he came up with his plan. This brain is really genius.
In fact, this is not surprising. Qin Mu's plans were completely based on the five-year plan of New Chinaβa truly reasonable plan.
It's just that Qin Mu combined the actual situation of this time and space, and coupled with the fact that the cheating cabinet can provide far more technical facilities than in the fifties and sixties, his plan is more radical and high-end.
The thousand-year-old gap between the two is not something that can be easily smoothed. Even if he drove a jeep and drank iced tea, it was impossible for him to quickly understand Qin Mu's set of things.
So I could only nod my head in admiration, and at the same time carefully think about how to implement my brother-in-law's plan.
Now it seems that this reservoir is the guarantee of smooth development in the future. With this reservoir, the Xiahetao area immediately became a real granary, and there was no need to ask the gods to worship the Buddha, praying that the gods would give this land good weather and good weather.
And with this granary, this land can support more people, more factories, more troops.
This is the foundation of the foundation, otherwise Qin Mu would not have been in such a hurry to bring it up.
Just took Riverside City, in fact, there are too many things that Qin Mu needs to take ideas, but Qin Mu doesn't care about it, let's talk about the reservoir first. It can be seen that this reservoir is the weight of Qin Mu's heart.
Around the construction of the reservoir, everyone used their brains and discussed it with all their mouths.
Qin Mu had never engaged in water conservancy at all - he had never even gone down to the factory before, but Qin Mu came from later generations and had a lot of information to learn from.
In later generations, there were thirteen water conservancy projects on the Yellow River, such as the Sanmenxia Hydropower Station, the Qingtongxia Water Conservancy Project, and so on. Qin Mu chose the Sansheng Gong Water Conservancy Hub as his template.
Sanshenggong Water Conservancy Hub is a sluice and dam project focusing on irrigation, shipping, road transportation, power generation, industrial water supply, and comprehensive utilization of fishery and aquaculture. After the completion of the Sanshenggong Water Conservancy Project, it has played a good role in regulating water volume and eradicating flood and drought disasters in the Hetao area of Inner Mongolia.
It was chosen as a template because this place is in the Hetao area, and the environment is similar.
Second, the most important thing is that this water conservancy hub was built very early. Construction began in 1959. The earlier it was built, the less technical the equipment used, and the easier it was to replicate in the plane.
The technology of 2019 cannot be copied by Qin Mu, but the technology of 1959 can always be copied here.
Qin Mu cut down the complicated and simplified, he didn't want to be so big first, and then he would make a reservoir first. The Yellow River intercepts the flow, and for the time being, it does not have the ability or the need.
It can store water, and of course, it is better to add the function of power generation.
As soon as this is discussed, time passes imperceptibly. There are too many problems, not to mention that people in this time and space don't understand, even Qin Mu doesn't understand either.
He could only write them down temporarily, and when he returned to Wujiazhuang in the future, he would go to the future to consult experts.
It was midnight now, and Qin Mu hadn't gone back to rest.
Yu Liyan couldn't help but complain.
"Eldest sister, why hasn't my brother-in-law come back yet?" Yesterday, Qin Mu slept with Jia Hongxian, and tonight it was Yu Liyan's turn, so naturally the princess of Liao Kingdom was more anxious.
Besides, she made great achievements during the day, if it weren't for her *** power, several people would have died on the grassland.
Yu Liyan was especially eager for Qin Mu to come back and praise her a few words. After all, she is not very old, and in the next life, she is just a high school student, not an adult.
"Cousin talks about business, let's wait." Jia Hongxian is not in a hurry. It won't be her turn tonight anyway. It's better if my cousin doesn't come back, then tomorrow it's my turn again. But you can't say it, and you look too careful to say it.
What's more, it was Yu Liyan who was facing him, how could he be his own group.
"Girl, you say, how about our supermarket open in the door of the convenience store?" Since she had nothing to do, Jia Hongxian remembered the supermarket she had never forgotten.
"That's good!" Yu Liyan was also happy and clapped her hands again and again.
In terms of making money, she and Jia Hongxian are of the same mind. Because she is the poorest of the sisters, it can be said that she has not a penny.
Originally, she had some money. At that time, Qin Mu tricked her into fishing for a sponge, and the car carried a lot of money. It's just that she became stupid later, how could she take care of the money if she was stupid, Jia Hongxian simply took it all over, and it was considered to be for her to keep it.
As a result, it has been kept until now, and it has not returned to Yu Liyan's pocket.
Yu Liyan is the real poor and white. So she raised her hands in agreement with the eldest sister for making private money.
Although in the later generations, the sisters are the same. But after all, this is the Great Song Dynasty, and there are copper coins and gold and silver circulating in the market. These things, the sisters of the fold family have, but they don't have them, which is always very inconvenient, and they also lower others for no reason.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to build supermarkets on a large scale.
Jia Hongxian and Yu Liyan quickly discussed this topic. They were very excited today to see their men take another city without bloodshed.
They know that in the future, every city that belongs to their own men will be built like Yongbyon.
Then in every city, there must be a supermarket. How big is this market, where it is opened, and how much money each one can bring to itself in the future.
The two of them crossed their fingers and calculated, the more they calculated, the more excited and happy they became, and the huge wealth seemed to be in front of them.
It made them laugh almost from ear to ear.
Unconsciously, the two sisters had a sweet dream, hugged each other and fell asleep.
