For many people living on the border between Yunnan and Guangxi, they do not know much about the outside world due to the lack of transportation and information. However, the news of the Battle of Guinan still aroused the worries of some people.

The city of Fuzhou, which borders Baise and is not too far from Longzhou, is also a remote town dominated by ethnic minorities. With the recent arrival of a large number of outsiders in the city, even the people in the city also know that there is a war going on in Guinan.

Just when the people felt that the county officials and security regiment commanders were replaced at this time, Fuzhou City, which originally had only one battalion and less troops, soon appeared a large number of elite troops. The appearance of these troops has once again aroused the worries of some ordinary people.

Although the common people do not care much about national affairs, they know more or less about the dangers of war. If there is a real war in Fuzhou City, then many people may be involved in the war. At that time, the fate of these people can be imagined!

Fortunately, the newly appointed county magistrate quickly posted notices in the city, informing the local people that increasing the garrison of Fuzhou City was also to better ensure the safety of Fuzhou. In the event of war, the county government will also send people to send orders to the towns and villages.

After a brief period of panic, many people also knew that the new county officials were recruiting a large number of migrant workers to build fortifications and houses. The county seat, which has remained unchanged for many years, is also being rebuilt, and many shops are being built one after another.

This series of urban construction projects also requires a lot of labor. The people, who were originally worried, soon found that the new county officials seemed to be a little different from the previous county officials. As soon as he took office, he was not busy making money, but desperately throwing money out.

As long as they are willing to work hard, many young people can find work on the construction site of the county government. If you don't need money, you can convert it into food or other daily necessities. This kind of money-making news also quickly spread all over the country.

The arrival of a large number of young people has also accelerated the construction process of Fuzhou City. To the surprise of many young people, among the city defense troops stationed in Fuzhou City, they all encountered the warriors of their own clan. This was a rare occurrence before.

After private questioning, these soldiers of their own clan who wore military uniforms also quickly said: "We are from Shillong's side, and we have not been in the army for a long time. However, our treatment is very good, and the monthly military salary is enough for the family to eat! ”

"This is the army of the Han Chinese, will they believe you?"

"Why not believe it? Our Governor has often said that all nations should be one family. In the army, as long as you have the ability, you can also be an officer. In the army, we don't talk about our background, but about our strength, and if we have the ability, we can be promoted! ”

The appearance of these minority group fighters was indeed quite a surprise to the minority groups in Fuzhou City. After some understanding, many of the owners of the minority groups were in charge of their families, and they also knew that the commander of this unit was the same as that of Shillong.

Most of the people of all ethnic groups in private, and the owners of the village who often come and go, have heard of the changes in Xilong. learned that the new county officials and troops were all from Xilong City, and these village owners also supported the new county officials.

With the support of these village owners, the work of the county government has also been carried out very smoothly. All kinds of materials from Longzhou and Shillong were quickly put into the construction site. Gradually, many people also found that Fuzhou City was undergoing great changes.

First of all, many township roads in the territory have become much smoother and spacious. In the past, in the township market, where there were few vendors, there were many vendors pulling goods to sell themselves. In the townships, there are also frequent troop patrols.

Originally, it was feared that the appearance of these forces might lead to the oppression of ethnic minorities. To the surprise of the people, the officers and men of these units were very easy-going. There are even quite a few warriors, all of whom are of their own ethnicity.

When Hu Biao led the task force to arrive in Fuzhou City, he still felt quite happy when he looked at the busy construction sites along the way. Hu Biao, who came from later generations, knew very well how important a good road was to the people.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, there is still a certain reason!

Although in the opinion of some officers, the construction of the roads would make them easier for the Japanese to transport and march in the future should the Japanese invade. But Hu Biao felt that whether or not he could win the Japanese army had never been about the road.

The rough and difficult road could indeed delay the Japanese army's march and add more areas for the defending forces to ambush. But in Hu Biao's view, if a commander has this kind of thought, it means that he is cowardly before fighting.

The construction of highways in Fuzhou also made it easier for Hu Biao to communicate with the surrounding counties. Although Hu Biao also wanted to build a highway from Fuzhou to Shillong, he knew that the cost would be too high and that it would involve communication and liaison between the two provinces.

The decision to build a road here was also more to open up contact with the border area. Correspondingly, if the Japanese army wanted to invade Fuzhou City, it must first break through the defense line built by Hu Biao. If it really fights, Hu Biao will let the little devil know what it means to be in pain.

At this moment, on the border with the colony, Hu Biao had already deployed several guerrilla units. In addition, at the mountain pass into the territory of Fuzhou, the construction of strong fortifications began. I believe that these fortifications will make the little devils who come to attack retreat.

At present, the steel plant in Shillong, although the output is still not high, is not able to produce high-quality steel. It can smelt some steel for construction, and naturally there is no problem. In addition, there is also self-produced cement, which can be used to build fortifications.

In his previous life, he served on the southwest border for many years, and Hu Biao naturally went to many defensive positions built along the border. Those fortifications played an extremely important role during the war years, so that the enemy who tried to invade the territory did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

If all goes well, the fortifications that Hu Biao is building on the border now can be handed over to the new government in the future. With these permanent fortifications, the new government will also be able to save money on rebuilding fortifications on the border.

National defense building is extremely important to any country. Spending a lot of money to build it now can reduce the burden on the state even if you can't use it yourself in the future. Let the border troops stationed here in the future have a better and safer stationing environment.

Even Hu Biao knew in his heart that if his great southwest plan could be successfully completed, the future defense of the country in the southwest would basically not take too much thought. But the world is impermanent, and who dares to guarantee that there will never be war in the southwest in the future?

When Hu Biao and his entourage arrived at the county government, which had not yet been rebuilt, the new county officials and military leaders rushed to the county government after hearing the news. For these military and political cadres sent to Fuzhou City, it was clear who they should be loyal to.

There is an example of Xilong City, and the military and political teams that took over Fuzhou City this time have rich experience in construction. In addition, there is a continuous supply of construction materials on the Shillong side, so that the construction speed here seems to be a few points faster than that of Shillong.

Seeing the military and political cadres gathered together, Hu Biao also said happily: "Not bad! In such a short period of time, I can push forward the construction so quickly, which shows that I did not choose the wrong person, and you are all excellent, which is very worthy of recognition. ”

"Wolf Head, the fact that the construction of Fuzhou City can be carried out so smoothly has a lot to do with your strong support. Without your support, we wouldn't be able to move forward. Many people said, "I've never seen such a stupid official as us!" ”

Listening to what the military and political cadres said, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "Fools have foolish blessings!" On the way here, I also saw many young people from ethnic minorities at the construction site. It seems that the national integration work that you are doing should be going very smoothly, right? ”

"It's okay! The ethnic minorities living here are actually similar to Shillong and the surrounding counties. In addition, this security regiment has transferred many minority fighters who have completed recruit training, and the local minority groups are not so hostile.

In addition, the people here have a hard life, and now as long as they are willing to sell coolies, they can find work on the construction site. Let's send good days under their noses, if they don't cherish it, then it's really too ignorant! ”

Compared with carrying out mass work in inland areas, Hu Biao, who marched to the southwest this time, deliberately warned his subordinates to attach importance to communication and integration with ethnic minorities. Even if you can't take special care of it, you must treat it the same as the local people.

Looking at the history of the southwest, there have been many so-called civil unrests that have been triggered by conflicts between the ruling party and ethnic minorities. Over time, many people feel that this is the so-called poor mountains and bad waters.

Although it cannot be ruled out, there are some minorities who are hostile. But as long as the general policy is not wrong, Hu Biao believes that those few people will not be able to make big waves at all. How can the security regiments sent from all over the country be used as decorations?

A combination of hard and soft methods that can be effective at all times!

After listening to the reports of the military and political cadres, Tian Sili, who served as the head of the security regiment of Fuzhou City, quickly said: "Wolf head, some time ago I talked with several village owners and village owners, and they all wanted to buy a batch of weapons from us. You see? ”

"This matter can be handled according to the situation on the Shillong side! This is located on the border, and relying only on the security corps to control such a large area is simply not able to strictly guard against the enemy who may infiltrate. Only by mobilizing the masses can we give early warning.

It just so happened that this time in Nong'an City, the 1st Division surrounded and annihilated a mixed brigade of the Japanese army and captured a batch of weapons and ammunition. Next, the security regiment began to contact the owners and family members, and asked them to send young people to participate in the militia training organized by the security regiment.

During the intensive training, those who have excellent performance can solicit their own opinions and absorb them into our recruit troops. As for those who have a slightly worse grades, they can be allowed to return to the village and become the guardians of the village or the village.

The principals of the villages could be told that the security corps would give them a batch of guns and ammunition for free. However, these villages must form village-level escort teams to help the security team patrol the area together and be vigilant against enemies infiltrating from the outside. ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

As one of the first officers to be rescued by Hu Biao, Tian Sili has taken his family members over after he was transferred to the southwest. Now the family lives in the military village in Xilong, and the family is living a very good life.

The selection of the new head of the security regiment this time was finally made by Hu Biao and asked him to come to Fuzhou to serve. As long as Tian Sili does not make mistakes in the future, there will inevitably be a place for him in the senior commander team of the Wolf Army in the future!
