Chapter 144: Handing over Zhongshu Province The first time I took a plane

Li Zhi usually pays great attention to the affairs of the Air Force, which is decided by his professional sensitivity.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that Mr. Ouyang has traveled by plane several times. First I went to Mongolia, and then to North Korea. The back and forth is very fast, can we also do airplanes when we have something to do in the future? ”

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "That Liu Chenghuang took a plane to the Black Sea, not only flew back and forth, but also went to the Ural Mountains and the Middle East Special Economic Zone for a circle. Although he came back and asked Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang to talk about it, the usefulness of this plane was to let Liu Chenghuang fly out. As a result, Ouyang He is now flying everywhere. If I hadn't resolutely objected, Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang He would have traveled on the same plane, I'm afraid Uncle Chen would have gone too! ”

"Yes! The safety of the aircraft still needs to be considered, that is, flying from an altitude of several thousand meters, it is very dangerous if something happens. Li Zhi understood what Zhang Zhimu meant.

"However, now Mr. Ouyang and they are still on a transport plane. We went to the Black Sea side and took a passenger plane that Li Yunhe and his team had test-flown on. ”

"I've heard that although there are many fewer people on airliners than on transport planes, there is much less noise inside. And no matter how high you fly, you won't have trouble breathing without an oxygen mask! ”

"In the future, we will have enough planes, and we will equip you with special planes! At that time, it will be much easier for you to deal with any urgent matters! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! That's great! Our business is urgent. Li Zhi heard that he would be very happy to equip them with a special plane in the future, "Mr. Zhang, I feel like a dream." I followed you out of Boar Ridge, and until now, I feel like I'm in a dream! ”

"Our dream has just begun, but now our main goal is to take advantage of our current military technological superiority to lay a good foundation for our children and grandchildren. Now, the South Seas and Indochina are stable. Wu Sangui: They are also going very well in North America. They had already begun to establish settlements on the west coast of North America, near the estuaries of several rivers. Most of the men began to march inland. There were already some tribes of Indians who came to contact them to surrender to them. Just wait for them to gain a foothold in the Great Lakes region! Zhang Zhimu is very satisfied with the form in North America and Nanyang.

"I've heard that Shi Xiu and their side of Australia are also going well. On several occasions, however, they had to emigrate, even prisoners. I think there's a shortage of people over there! Li Zhi looked at Zhang Zhimu and said, "Our people have reported back that there is good land over there, but there is a shortage of people!" ”

"Hmmm! Our immigration bill has just been enacted. It will take time to see results. However, according to Yan Bo's statistics, there are still more than 100,000 prisoners in the country who are suitable for immigration, and tens of thousands of prisoners are added every year. However, it can't all be given to Australia! Besides, prisoners can't all be sent to one place. Otherwise, it's trouble! I think I'll move 20,000 people to them first! ”

"Hmmm! I think we should also give some prisoners to the Middle East Special Administrative Region to immigrate. Otherwise, they won't be able to get the honest peasants over there! I think it's better to get some Mongols over there! The Mongols are a little tougher! Li Zhi has always been very familiar with the situation in various places and has his own opinions. This is Zhang Zhimu's favorite.

"Hmmm! Originally, we used to use the method of border guards and immigrants to consolidate the border defense. In the future, those who have committed crimes, especially those who have committed serious crimes, will be sent to the frontier. Zhang Zhimu knew that in his previous life, the XPCC's model played a very important role in Xinjiang's stability period. Therefore, first of all, the main way to stabilize the frontier is to slowly turn the border guards into agricultural reclamation corps. Several formed border guards have been dispatched to the border, and the next step is to turn them into corps. But take your time. Otherwise, it will be easy to cause difficulties in recruiting border guards in the future!

Emperor Chongzhen went to the edge of the Yellow River, because this year the Yellow River opened the Wuhe River, and the Yellow River was very tense along the Yellow River. Ouyang He sent Li Wei with heavy artillery to help blow up the ice and assist in opening the Yellow River. Li Wei also felt that this was a good opportunity for training, and took the teachers and students of the Artillery Academy to form an artillery battalion and set off to the banks of the Yellow River. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard about this, he must "drive the expedition in person", and the elders of the Senate must be aware of the people's feelings, and they have all followed!

The TV has long broadcast the footage of Li Wei and their shelling of the ice accumulation of the Yellow River, and of course, there are also scenes of Emperor Chongzhen coming to command. But Emperor Chongzhen, after they saw the opening of the Yellow River, they all went to the Hetao area to investigate! They want to see how spring plowing has begun in the Hetao reclamation area. Now every year, the Hetao area can contribute a large amount of good food to the country. The Hetao area is also the area with the largest mechanized area in the entire Ming Dynasty. Khoutau flour is the most popular in the country. The gluten of the noodles is very good, and it is suitable not only for making noodles, but also for making various pasta.

The current Emperor Chongzhen has adapted to the days of not having great power, but he feels very relaxed. Although he has no power, the emperor's prestige is still there, and officials everywhere he goes still give him the highest courtesy.

Emperor Chongzhen had already handed over the management of Zhongshu Province to the Yaogang people, but left Beijing City and some places near Beijing City. According to Zhang Zhimu's words, it was Emperor Chongzhen who left a little land for himself. Originally, it was said that there were more than 100,000 officers and soldiers who would be handed over to the kiln gang people to help resettle, but when Yan Boju took people to deal with this matter, he told those who were in charge to report the list of those who were not registered and were not registered, and they would be resettled in a unified manner. The officers and men were overjoyed. The habit in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty is that there are many auxiliary personnel who are not registered, which Yan Boju understands very well. How could the officers and men not be happy when they saw that those miscellaneous personnel were all arranged in accordance with the unified arrangements of the officers and soldiers on the register. Especially those who are not registered, the army was supposed to be dismantled, and no one will care about them in the future, they are all worried that they have nowhere to go, Yan Boju suddenly ordered to arrange them in a unified manner, I can't believe it. In those years, the elderly patients knelt down and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva.

As a result, more than 300,000 people were finally reported. Yan Boju knew in his heart that some of the officers and soldiers' family members had reported it to make up for it.

After the list of personnel was decided, Yan Boju gave the officers and men three choices: First, those who were willing to go to the frontier in an organized manner, the officers were promoted to one rank, and the officers and men enjoyed the treatment of the Yaogang border guards. Officers and soldiers can bring their families, and the families of the military will also be given a very high settling-in fee. Officers and soldiers who can take their daughters-in-law before departure will also be given a certain amount of financial support.

Second, the personnel will be scattered and resettled, and according to the situation, most of them will also be resettled in various border reclamation areas; and third, they will be given a certain amount of resettlement expenses to find their own way out.

As a result, most of the officers and men were reluctant to disperse and were willing to go to the frontier in formation. Of course, in the name of introducing the situation of the Yaogang army, Li Yan had already introduced to the officers and men the life, training, and treatment of the Yaogang border guards through the screening of movies. The officers and soldiers had long been jealous of the treatment of the officers and soldiers in the kiln gang, and their eyes were red. They didn't expect that they could enjoy such a high salary as a soldier, and their lives were better than those of rich landlords, and they ate meat and vegetarian food every day. For many of them, being a soldier is all about eating beams. Wherever you are a soldier, you are a soldier, as it is said in the movie, it is still an incomparably honorable thing to go to the border to guard the frontier, and many officers and soldiers did not hesitate to choose to join the Yaogang Border Guard. In particular, the kiln gang people also gave silver to help marry a daughter-in-law, which was beyond the imagination of many officers and soldiers. So the matchmakers in the entire Zhongshu Province are busy green. When many girls heard that they could marry the Yaogang soldiers, they tried their best to ask the matchmaker for help. Although Zhongshu Province has always been governed by the original officials of the Ming Dynasty, the news here is not closed, and everyone knows that the salary of Yaogang soldiers is very high. Many young people who want to become soldiers have no chance at all. The girls also want to marry such soldiers, and when they heard that the officers and soldiers of the kiln gang were coming to pick a daughter-in-law, not only the girls were anxious, but the girls' families were also anxious. They knew that if their girl married a Yaogang soldier, it would be a guarantee of waiting. Even if the son-in-law is martyred, the girl can be properly taken care of by the kiln people.

In the end, Yan Boju received four or five hundred thousand officers and soldiers and their families. This made Zhang Zhimu and the kiln gang very happy.

Regarding this big lump of personnel, Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He have the same opinion, that is, it will be used uniformly and will never be separated. After some discussion, it was decided to take a part of the officers from the various armies, reorganize these officers and soldiers into four border guards, and place them on the Black Sea coast with their families, and a large part of them on the Crimean peninsula and along the Dnieper.

Chen Yufeng said: "Of these four or five hundred thousand people, there will be one million in a few years, and several million in a few years." We encourage them to have children, and for each child they have, they receive a small amount of money. ”

"That's right! We also want to build hospitals, schools, and shopping malls! Ouyang He agreed.

"If we build that deep-water port on the Crimean peninsula, we can put a lot of people into jobs. Where there is our naval base, there are a lot of sailors, there are a lot of infantry, and then there are a lot of border guards. It is one of our cornerstones on the Black Sea coast. Zhang Zhimu said.

Regarding this matter, Lu Chengxiang resolutely supported it, promised to provide all the funds, and said that he would immediately send shops to follow the army to the station. The mall was built along with the barracks. Lu Bingyi also organized teachers to support the frontiers, and first transferred educated officers and soldiers in the army to the kiln post for training, and arranged to be teachers who were suitable for teachers. If they are suitable for other jobs, they will also strengthen their skills. When they arrive at the frontier, they all have to bear a heavy responsibility. The original officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty generally had a very poor level of education, and there were very few educated officers and soldiers, which was even more valuable.

Since the thermal power plant in the Assyria Sea is under construction, the construction of the supporting power grid must also keep up. The telegraph and telephone network also had to be paved, and these basic facilities were very important for the stability of the frontier.

Emperor Chongzhen came back from Baotou and heard about these arrangements, in addition to being surprised that four or five hundred thousand yuan needed to be arranged at once, he was also very satisfied with such an arrangement. However, he also knew that this would require a large amount of silver as a guarantee.

"Alas! I have already explained to the officers and soldiers! Emperor Chongzhen was very complicated in his heart, "It's just that you have spent a lot of money!" That's not a small amount. I really didn't expect that there would be so many people to arrange. There aren't that many people on the register? ”

"Your Majesty, we all know the rules in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be many people who are not registered in each military camp. We can't leave them alone! Zhang Zhimu said, "Moreover, we don't think that they are a burden to us, they will be a very important force when they get to the border." We also spent money to encourage them to marry before leaving. When they go to the border and take root, they are the barrier of our whole country. It's something we can't get for money! ”

"Good!" Emperor Chongzhen said two good things in a row, "No matter what, when you come to your Zhang Dong's house, it has become a good thing!" ”

"Huh! This is the dialectic, everything has its good side, and there must be a bad side! I think we should try to give full play to the positive side of the business and reduce the negative side! Zhang Zhimu told Emperor Chongzhen about dialectics.

"Dialectics?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand, but the conversation changed, "Didn't you say that the weather is warm, and we have to go to the Black Sea to have a look?" ”

"Yes! I'll wait for you to come back! Zhang Zhimu said, "It's not a short time for you to go out for this circle!" ”

"Huh! No, we've been to a lot of places. Our steel plant in Baiyun is simply too big, and the director said that it will expand a lot every year. There are still a lot of places we haven't been to! ”

"No, even then, we don't have enough steel! It will be much better when our Wuhan Iron and Steel Plant is fully operational! Zhang Zhimu said.

This time, Zhang Zhimu and Emperor Chongzhen went west to investigate together, and Li Yunhe and they prepared two passenger planes, and two transport planes followed.

The first few planes flew away beforehand, taking with them a part of the personnel and supplies. Including a group of special forces led by Yang Jing as guards, as well as some people that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to bring.

Those who followed Emperor Zhang Zhimu Chongzhen on the plane were Yang Yulin, Li Jing, Li Zhi, Chen Yuejiao, as well as King Zhou, Acting Wang, Liu Jiantai, Wang Gonggong,

When the passenger plane was tested, Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin had already sat down, so they were not nervous at all after boarding. In fact, although the current plane does not fly very fast and the altitude is not very high, but the wing area is large, what is really the matter, and the gliding distance is still very long, as long as you find a flat place, it is easy to make a forced landing.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, Liu Jiantai, and Wang Gonggong took a plane for the first time, and when they got on the plane, Zhang Zhimu could see that although they tried their best to look very calm, they were obviously still very nervous.

Zhang Zhimu smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, are you nervous about flying for the first time?" ”

In order to maintain his prestige, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately said: "With your Zhang Dongjia by your side, why am I nervous?" ”

"Huh! It's not normal not to be nervous! Zhang Zhimu turned around and deliberately said to Wang Gonggong, "Wang Gonggong, you have also seen life and death, why are you still sweating nervously?" ”

"Where, when did I sweat!" The prince quit.

Li Jing joked: "It's really over, I saw you wipe your sweat down, and you still don't admit it?" ”

"Oops! General Li, you're not interesting enough! It's hard for me to argue! The prince said deliberately aggrieved.

"Haha!" The entire plane burst into laughter. The atmosphere is not so tense!

Emperor Chongzhen kept asking, what does it feel like after the plane takes off, and what will it feel like when it lands? At this time, the plane "boomed" for a while and began to start. Then, the head of the machine was turned around and aimed at the runway and began to accelerate, and everyone clearly felt the feeling of pushing back. The plane slid for a while, the nose of the plane was raised, and the front and rear wheels were off the ground one after another. After the plane leaves the ground, it begins to climb, and everyone on the plane can feel that the plane is flying upwards with its head up. Current aircraft do not have automatic seat adjustment.

When flying upward, Emperor Chongzhen and the others were obviously very nervous, and they no longer spoke. After a while, the plane rose to a certain altitude and began to flatten out the slow ascent. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen also recovered from his nervousness and said to Zhang Zhimu: "Now it can be regarded as a successful take-off, right?" ”

"It's been a success!" Zhang Zhimu said, "The plane must fly to a certain altitude to be safe. Fang Cai has been climbing. At a certain altitude, the air resistance is much smaller, and it also saves fuel when flying. Your Majesty, look at the ground under your feet! As he spoke, Zhang Zhimu pulled the plane window open. Sunlight shines into the cabin. Fang was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen and other people who took a plane for the first time would be afraid, so they closed the flying windows.

Everyone looked down, and then there was a "tsk" sound, "Oops! It's too high,! "Oops! So beautiful! "That's great!"

The atmosphere in the cabin quickly came alive!

At this time, the cockpit door opened, and two very beautiful flight attendants came out in a voice with a very high sugar content: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, passengers, hello, now that the plane has reached the scheduled flight altitude, you can loosen your seat belts." We're going to bring you drinks right away! ”

At a height of several thousand meters, two and their peugeot waitresses came out, especially their very decent sky blue clothes, decent words, and bright smiles, which made the well-seen Emperor Chongzhen, King Zhou, and Acting King all have straight eyes.

Yang Yulin, who was sitting on Zhang Zhimu's left, leaned close to his ear and joked: "In the future, you are not allowed to fly alone!" ”

Before Zhang Zhimu could reply, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the right, said, "It seems that Mrs. Yang is still not at ease with Mr. Zhang!" ”

"Haha!" There was another burst of laughter in the entire cabin. Everyone heard that Emperor Chongzhen had something to say. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen is praising the flight attendants, who are so beautiful!

The things on the plane are all high-quality products, all of which are the best kinds of soft drinks in the kiln, as well as all kinds of tea.

It's not that these people haven't drunk drinks, but drinking them at a height of thousands of meters feels like they are delicious outside the roots. After drinking the drink, the waiter brought a variety of cut fruits. People who don't usually eat much fruit have started to eat it without pulling it down.

The weather was exceptionally good today, and the plane flew very smoothly.

After eating and drinking for a while, Zhang Zhimu took Emperor Chongzhen to the cockpit and visited the driver.

The pilot of this flight was the best pilot in Yaogang, and he completed the test flight of this passenger plane from beginning to end.

Seeing Zhang Zhimu and Emperor Chongzhen come to visit them, they were also very happy. Zhang Zhimu and Emperor Chongzhen went over to shake hands with them one by one.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was completely relaxed, saw the dense instruments in the cockpit, and kept asking what this was used for and which one.

Seeing that he was in Lanzhou and was about to land, a large cloud suddenly appeared in front of him. The driver said: "I'm sorry for the emperor, Mr. Zhang, there are clouds ahead, please go back to your seats and fasten your seat belts!" ”
