Chapter 36 See the General Soldier of the Acting Wang Jiang to determine the adaptation plan

On the train to Datong, Ouyang He asked people to send the results of the conversation with King Zhou to Chen Yufeng, who stayed in Yaogang, by telegram, so as not to worry too much.

Zhang Zhimu's arrival in Datong had also been notified by telegram to the acting king and Jiang Zhi's general soldiers. When they arrived in Datong, Jiang Pai personally went to Datong Railway Station, picked them up directly from the platform with a carriage, and came to the back garden of the Daiwang Mansion without stopping.

The acting king, like the king of Zhou, retreated left and right, and also said to Zhang Zhimu and Ouyang He: "Don't worry, I am very safe to speak here." In my palace, there were originally two spies from the West Factory. We found out and haven't moved, and we heard that you are coming secretly. I'll have them dealt with. "Dai Wang and Jiang Ji both understand that the next step of the Yaogang people must be a big move, and Zhang Zhimu is secretly visiting at this time, and there is definitely something important to talk about. Therefore, the arrangement is also very cautious.

Zhang Zhimu said: "The prince has thought it through. We do have something important to discuss with the prince this time. We are going to start the southern expedition next year, and this time we are here to inform the prince and Jiang Zongbing, and secondly, to study the affairs of Yanbei and Datong. ”

"Oops! Great, we're just getting impatient to wait. The king said, "If you have been unsettled in these matters, we will not be sure." Let's talk about what to do, shall we? ”

"Actually, we've been friends for a long time. We are absolutely relieved to have you here. Zhang Zhimu said, "However, we will use a lot of troops in this southern expedition." We are afraid of the Mongols and the Manchus, and when we move, we will do it here. Besides, we are also worried that the emperor will attack you. Because of our close contacts, it is impossible to let Xichang Fanzi not know at all. Therefore, you can't wait for others to do it, and we are still stretching our necks to get stabbed. We need to take the initiative. ”

Jiang Jian rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, we can't wait for a long time, let's talk about what to do?" During the southern expedition, can you let me join in the fun? ”

"Huh! This specific matter, let's talk about it by Mr. Ouyang! Zhang Zhimu looked at Jiang Jian's anxious appearance and smiled, and said.

"Huh! Jiang Zongbing is still acute. Ouyang He also smiled and said, "We are going to reorganize your soldiers and horses into an infantry army, a cavalry army, and a border guard army with mixed infantry and cavalry." The rest are older, and we have to choose some to work in the police force. For the rest, we can arrange to work in the reclamation area. Now the conditions in the reclamation area are much better. As for Jiang Zongbing's idea of going south, I'm afraid it can't be realized. Because we've looked into it. We now need a team dedicated to the study of the Manchu side of Liaodong. After the affairs on our side are resolved, we will turn back and destroy the Manchus. You are the most suitable person to study the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

"Oops, that's great!" Jiang Jian slapped his face and said, "Our officers and soldiers can also have a good way out." Those veterans have long wanted to go to the Kengo District, and they also want to choose a place to live when they can move. It is the dream of those soldiers to be able to join the Yaogang People's Army. As for me, I can't thank you enough for holding me so seriously. What you said is also true, I am still the right person to study the affairs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, it won't take much time for you to go south, right? You see, how good is Zhou Yu's fate? Nothing is delayed. Jiang Jian was still worried about the Southern Expedition.

"Hahaha!" After listening to Jiang Pin's words, everyone laughed together.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Mr. Jiang is willing to join in the fun, if possible, Mr. Ouyang will fulfill it!" ”

"Good! Mr. Zhang has spoken, and I have no opinion. Ouyang He said, "Just as Jiang Zongbing said, we expect that the battle of the Southern Expedition will not last too long." Now we can't see what we can confront militarily. Ouyang He's words are very confident.

"Alas! If only the Manchus could be destroyed. I'm willing to pay for this bone. The acting king said, "When I heard you say that you are going to destroy the Manchus when you turn back, I feel uplifted." ”

"What we need to do right away is the reorganization of the army. The officer shelves of the three armies we have ready. It turned out that the officers in the official army who were ready to be retained had to go to the Yaogang Military Academy to study, and only after graduation could they be assigned positions. Ouyang He said, "However, as soon as we make a move. The imperial court will react immediately. The idea is to try not to fall out with the court. ”

After listening to Ouyang He's words, the acting king was a little worried, "If you worry too much, things won't be easy." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You listen to us finish talking. Now that we've thought about it, we don't have any worries, we just want to do things that are more beneficial to us. If we fall out directly with the imperial court now, it will involve a lot of our energy, and it will be easy for others to take advantage of the opportunity. We want to do this, and the reorganization of our army begins. The officials of the imperial court will inevitably come out and make trouble. We want to expel them in the name of the prince. In this way, the emperor knew that we did it, and his face was not torn. It's just that the prince has to bear some infamy. But then we still have room to maneuver with the imperial court. I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

The acting prince thought about it for a long time, but still did not answer whether it was okay or not. Because he is a descendant of the Zhu family after all, he wants to unite with the Yaogang people, because he sees clearly that the Ming Dynasty is no longer guaranteed, and only the Yaogang people can save their lives. But let him take the lead and fight against the court, he couldn't make up his mind.

Zhang Zhimu still hesitated when he saw the prince, so he said: "Actually, the prince doesn't have to be embarrassed. These are also things that we have gone out to say. Once the imperial court sends someone to ask you, you can say that we did it in your name. ”

"Zhang Dongjia doesn't need to misunderstand. I'm thinking, what name am I going to use to say this? Since I'm standing with you, I should have done something. This is the only thing I can do for you, and it is my duty. Said the king.

"Huh! There is something wrong with the words of the acting king. It's not for you, it's for us. Zhang Zhimu said, "Don't hide it from the prince, we want to do the same in Kaifeng." In the future, we will set up a senate here in Yaogang. Only people of wisdom and prestige like you and King Zhou can enter the Senate. The major matters of our kiln gang should be reported to the Senate, and we ask you to help check it. Those who can enter our Senate will enjoy high political and economic treatment. ”

"Alas! I really admire you for thinking so thoroughly! The acting king said with emotion, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will personally order to drive away those who do not listen to the call." If you are disobedient and don't leave, you should be killed. Just do it in my name. However, you will soon send a large number of your cadres over and take over Yanbei. Our people here have been looking forward to you for a long time. Besides, this king can still have a little bit of a thing. ”

"Huh! Just have the words of the prince. Ouyang He said.

"Lord Wang, with you, it's not that you can top a little thing, but you can do a big thing." Zhang Zhimu also complimented.

"King Zhou of Kaifeng has been walking very close to you. What are you going to do over there? The king asked.

"Don't hide it from the prince, we came directly from Kaifeng." Zhang Zhimu said, "They move later than here. Move before the southern expedition over there. ”

The acting king understands in his heart that the people of Yaogang are very long-term in their thinking. The things I came to talk to them about today have been carefully considered. The acting king said, "I have one more small request. I'm going to build a house in the kiln. You help me choose a place, and I will build it with my own money. I hope that when I go to Yaogang in the future, I will have a place like Zhang Dongjia and you. To be honest, I didn't live enough in the kiln. I just want to be able to walk with the people on Yaogang Street without disturbing each other when I have nothing to do. ”

"We've already arranged this." Zhang Zhimu said, "It is a feng shui treasure land personally selected by Mr. Ouyang." We are going to build a house for both you and King Zhou. But it can't be too small like mine. But there's no way it's as big as your palace. The land of our kiln is now a tense place. ”

"No, no, Zhang Dongjia, you must not spend too much money for us." The acting king was a little embarrassed.

"Huh! On behalf of the prince, you are welcome. We are not only for you, but also for the world to know. Those who contribute to the people should enjoy the courtesy of our kiln people. Ouyang He said, "Lord Wang, we know that there are many people in your family, and when everyone gathers when it's okay, there should be a spacious place." In addition, we will arrange a suitable accommodation for each of your princes. After they go to the kiln, they will also have a place to live. ”

"Oops! You just talk about the king, but what about me? Jiang Jian was deliberately a little anxious.

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu said with a smile, "Lord Wang, Mr. Jiang has rough skin and thick meat, I think let him live on the street!" Our street is now very clean every day. ”

"Hmmm! I think it's okay. The prince followed and coaxed.

Jiang Ji touched his head and said embarrassedly: "It seems that I am out of luck!" ”

"Don't worry! The Commander-in-Chief. Not only you, but also several of your lieutenants, if they are willing to work with us. We're going to have to make it happen. Ouyang He said, "I will solve the worries of the soldiers." Our President Zhang said that we must not let the soldiers shed blood and tears! ”

"Hey! With these words, there is no soldier who does not need to die. Jiang Pai said, "I'll go back and tell the brothers what Mr. Zhang said!" 'We must not let the soldiers shed blood and tears!' These are the words that are burning in my heart when I hear them. No one used to treat a soldier as a human being. Jiang Jian said a little excited.

The king said, "Now that the big thing is over, shouldn't we drink?" ”

"Good! Lord, let's drink less wine and celebrate. But we can't drink too much, we'll have to rush back early tomorrow morning. It's not easy to stay here for a long time. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Good! It's according to Zhang Dong's family. Said the acting prince.

The acting king and the king of Zhou negotiated smoothly, although this was expected, but Zhang Zhimu and Ouyang He were still very happy. On the way back to Yaogang, they were very happy, the railway is now double-tracked, and they can occasionally meet the oncoming train whistling by. It's been a long time since I've encountered it.

"Does Mr. Zhang still need to go to Niutoushan River and River Meander to have a look?" Ouyang He asked.

"No, Mr. Lu, they are probably in a hurry to wait at home. Many merchants from all over the country wanted to bid for the land in Yaogang, and before leaving, he said that it was best for me to come back and meet the guests. Zhang Zhimu said, "Actually, we don't have to worry about Niutou Mountain and Hequ, they have done a good job." When we passed, they still had to accompany us, and it would be even more delayed. ”

"I've also heard that after the first pier of the meandering bridge was built, the rest of the bridge was very fast. It is estimated that by this time next year, they will be able to build almost it. Ouyang He said.

"Yes! The second 100-megawatt generating unit in Niutoushan will also be connected to the grid by the end of the year. With electricity, many things are easy to do. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Huh! We are growing faster and faster. My brain is almost a little overwhelmed. Ouyang He said, "I don't know what we developed when we woke up." There are so many things, we can only learn some from the "Kiln Reference". I don't have the energy to know too much. ”

"In the future, if we continue to develop rapidly, we will soon usher in an era of knowledge explosion. Learning will be a very important thing for each of us. Zhang Zhimu said, "However, after our semiconductor transistor is made." We should devote great efforts to the study of electronic computers, and use electronic computers as an auxiliary means for information processing. Our work will be much easier in the future. ”

"What kind of information can the electronic computer you are talking about process in addition to replacing the abacus?" Ouyang He didn't understand what Zhang Zhimu said.

"Arithmetic is the simplest use of an electronic computer. In the future, a large amount of statistical analysis of our information can be done by computers. Some humans can easily complete statistical analysis that takes a long time to count, and even tasks that cannot be completed manually. That's when the way we live and the way we work will change. If we don't know how to use a computer, we can't read or write. Zhang Zhimu explained this, and Ouyang He couldn't understand it at once. However, Ouyang He believes that Zhang Zhimu will never talk nonsense.

"What you said, I haven't seen it and I can't understand it." Ouyang He said, "But since this thing is so important, I suggest that Mr. Zhang, you should spend more time on it." You see, there's basically no suspense about the war out there. Which place to choose is entirely up to us whether we want to or not. These things can already be done very well by others. But what you say, no one else can replace you. ”

"That's right! Mr. Ouyang. I'm going to spend some time researching this thing when they get the transistor out this time. With this thing, the calculation of the artillery fire on our warship is much simpler. There is no need to manually calculate and look up the table. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Huh! I'll just wait to see what an electronic computer looks like. Ouyang He said.

Zhang Zhimu was worried about Lu Chengxiang and they were going to engage in a land auction, and Lu Chengxiang was even more anxious waiting for Zhang Zhimu to come back.

determined the exact time for Zhang Zhimu to come back, and Lu Chengxiang went directly to the train station to pick up Zhang Zhimu.

As soon as Zhang Zhimu stepped on the platform, Lu Chengxiang greeted him and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang! You're back. We'll be waiting for you, I'm really afraid you won't be able to come back before the auction. ”

"Mr. Lu, you can just handle the auction, and I have to come back. I'll just meet them when I have time. Zhang Zhimu said.

Lu Chengxiang pulled Zhang Zhimu into the carriage and followed: "Hey! Mr. Zhang, you don't know that the people who came this time are all the leaders of the major business gangs. Now the Yaogang Hotel is full again. They are really not afraid to spend money. Even the most expensive suites were occupied. There's only one left, the top-of-the-line suite you made. Every night, these people spend a lot of money on various restaurants in the Yaogang Hotel. Now people who have an identity in Yaogang feel ashamed not to invite guests in Yaogang Hotel. If you participate in the auction, we will definitely make a little more money. ”

"Huh! Can I go and earn more money? Zhang Zhimu didn't understand.

"Hey! Who of them wouldn't want to show their strength in front of you? Lu Chengxiang said.

"That's good! Let's go more with a head and a face, by the way, invite Xiao Hongyu to participate, she has more face. Also, let the radio station do the auction live broadcast. Tell the bidders in advance that they want to show their faces, and we give them a chance. Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's right! Mr. Zhang thought more thoughtfully. Lu Chengxiang said, "I'm afraid that I will break my head that day!" ”

"That's how we arrange it, we go to the auction, we entertain a movie. It is the two films "Western Expedition" and "Tang Guifei" released in succession. The kiln gang is also the first time to release it continuously. Lu Chengxiang said.

"Okay!" Zhang Zhimu said, "You can make specific arrangements for these things, and I will cheer you on when the time comes." ”

After talking about things on the way, Lu Chengxiang didn't go to the command center and got off outside. Because there is a large amount of grain to be put into storage soon, Lu Chengxiang is not at ease, he wants to take a look for himself. From Lu Chengxiang's face, Zhang Zhimu can see the joy of a bumper harvest.

Zhang Zhimu and Ouyang He went to the command center together.

Ouyang He briefly talked to Chen Yufeng about meeting King Zhou and Acting King. Chen Yufeng said: "It didn't happen to us. Immediately let Qin Peng take people to Datong to reorganize the army. The cadres we have sent to Yanbei should also be concentrated. The army has almost changed, and it is time for them to take over local affairs. You can't wait for the army to be reorganized. The security matters are the responsibility of Yan Boju and their police. ”

"We'll have a meeting tomorrow, and we'll try to keep it as small as possible. But trouble will come soon. Zhang Zhimu said, "The emperor will not be unresponsive to this." ”

"I don't think he can take care of it. Zhenjiang, today and tomorrow, I think it's almost the same. Chen Yufeng said, "You are not here, Gonggong Li has come twice." Or urge us to send troops. ”

"He probably thought I was going to hide." Zhang Zhimu said, "Our adaptation work began. Let Li Zhi keep an eye on this father-in-law Li. Although I was very reluctant to meet him. But I can't hate this person. His loyalty to the emperor is still very admirable. If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were like this, the Ming Dynasty would not have gotten to today's situation. ”

"I'm worried that you're soft-hearted and will suffer." Chen Yufeng said, "This person, if you don't get it right, it will be very dangerous." You must not be too merciful. If necessary, there should be no hesitation in getting rid of him. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I know this matter in my heart." Zhang Zhimu said, "By the way, Mr. Lu has held a land auction in the past two days, and we have all gone to cheer him up." He said, let's go, those who participate in the auction will be more face-saving and rush to buy land. ”

"Huh! Mr. Lu counted all the business on our heads. Ouyang He said, "I'm fine, I'll go." ”

"I can't help it! Otherwise, our God of Wealth will be angry, who will we go to with the silver? Chen Yufeng said with a smile.

The next day, the main leaders of the kiln gang attended the meeting. Zhang Zhimu introduced that he was about to start the operation in Datong. I ask everyone to cooperate in making this a good job.

Yan Xing spoke first, "Zhimu, don't worry, the officials at all levels we sent to Yanbei have already been arranged. The conditions here are convenient, and many of them have visited the place where they are going to take up their posts. They are in a hurry to get to work earlier. ”

"Our police have long been distributed. He has nothing to do to study in the kiln, and he is white and fat, so he should do something. Yan Boju's words were even more straightforward.

Lu Chengxiang said: "Now we don't have to worry about our food. There's something over there that we need to meet the supply. The equipment of the three armies has long been prepared. There are no problems with the guarantee of provisions. ”

"By the way, if you want to pick up the police, I will go to Datong in person. Now the police can't just ask for it. Yan Boju said.

"That's it! There are no other problems. Tomorrow, let Qin Peng take the officers of our three armies to Datong. Chen Yufeng said, "That's the case." We'll take care of the defense of the north. From killing Hukou to Datong Line, it is our line of defense. Here we are going to leave a border guard. There was also an infantry corps and cavalry for maneuvering. There is a war, and this cavalry corps and infantry corps can be mobilized on a mobile basis. The number of border guards to the north of us is much smaller than the original number of Ming troops. Some of the forts were to be withdrawn. We don't have to rely entirely on the Wall for defense. To use our ability to maneuver. In the future, the construction of communication facilities for border defense should also be strengthened. ”

Lu Chengxiang said: "The telegraph and telephone lines to Datong are all connected. What we need to do is to upgrade the two telephone exchange systems of the original Datong. Along the border, connect all the posts to the telephone. In this way, our ability to react will be greatly enhanced. Telephone cables we all have in stock now. After you've finished reorganizing your army. Let Yangchang send someone to redesign the communication facilities. We guarantee that the needs are met. ”

"Mr. Lu patted his chest and assured. I don't think anything will go wrong with us to the north. Ouyang He said, "But this matter is not a trivial matter for Emperor Chongzhen." They don't just give up. All localities should pay attention to the movements of their officials. The most difficult part was the period before our southern expedition, when we started. If the court officials make any move, we can kick them out. But patience is needed now. ”

"Oops! Get rid of them sooner. Yan Xing said, "Although they can't get much in the way there." But there are some people who just don't feel well. The people also felt unsure when they looked at it. ”

Li Yan asked: "Our Taihang Eight Paths are basically not defended by the army. Is it that before the southern expedition, I have to make some arrangements? ”

"We made a plan for this." Ouyang He said, "Qin Peng is very familiar with this area. The Datong army has changed. The army we left behind in Shanxi can divide people to think about the affairs over there. ”

"yes!" Li Yan said, "Datong's matter is solved. Our backs are safe. Otherwise, it always feels like a thing. ”

"Killing the horse markets of Hukou and Datong, I also arranged for someone to be in charge." Lu Chengxiang is the most concerned about business matters, "We no longer have to pay money to the officials of the imperial court." ”

"Mr. Lu still needs to study this matter. In the future, it is necessary to give a fair opportunity to buy and sell horses in these places. Then work out a standard. Li Gongzi, you want to participate in this matter, and you will form a legal document in the future, so that everyone knows how to handle it. Zhang Zhimu said, "We must not have a monopoly operation." Then we will disappoint everyone. ”

"Don't worry! Mr. Zhang," Lu Chengxiang said, "the share of the horse business in our kiln business is too small. I'm not going to do anything that would affect our credibility. ”
