Chapter 69 Clever Acquisition of Ganzhou Hexi Grand Plan

The mighty general stubbornly said: "General Wang, we used to be a family, you, can you be accommodating and give us a little food first?" ”

"You're really embarrassing me." Wang Yi said, "You also know that we are now at war between the two armies after all. I just came here and gave you food, what will people think? ”

"Hey! You also know that it is only a matter of time before we surrender, so you can help first, we really can't help it. "The mighty general can see it.

Wang Yi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "I'm going out and giving you ten carts of grain." As for what happens to me, it doesn't matter. Brothers' lives matter! ”

The mighty general wanted to say, "Is this food enough?" But I was afraid that this would be gone, so I didn't dare to say it. Straight to thank Wang Yi.

Wang Yi asked them to take ten carts of grain and leave.

When they left, Wang Yi asked them to take General Guoyi's own soldiers who were captured alive with them. These soldiers did not want to leave, they knew that they would starve if they returned. But the kiln people did not agree. Because when they go back, they'll tell you how good the food is, and it's also a lethal weapon.

These people left the camp, and Ning De and Zhao Jinli came out. Ning De laughed and said, "Haha! General Wang, your ten truckloads of grain are even more powerful than my heavy artillery! ”

"Huh! By tomorrow at the latest, all the castles will come out and surrender. Wang Yi said.

The mighty general brought back ten carts of grain, which is even more powerful than **. The eyes of the hungry soldiers were red, especially when they heard the soldiers who came back say that they had eaten good things in the camp of the Yaogang people. Because the hungrier you get, the more you want to hear this, and the more you listen, the hungrier you get.

However, the words that the mighty general brought back became more and more outrageous. When it was spread to other castles, General Guo Yi was injured and recuperated in the kiln camp, and he had promised to surrender and come back to surrender when his injuries were healed. Otherwise, the people of Yaogang would not have let General Guo Yi, who went to visit, bring back ten carts of grain.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers who heard the news stopped doing it and shouted, "You can get back ten carts of grain, and the old men are still hungry." ”

Some castles were really hungry and couldn't stand it, so they began to study whether they could also go to the kiln camp to borrow some food. Some of them were bold, and they drove to the kiln camp at night and told the kiln soldiers to borrow grain. The Yaogang soldier said, "We are two armies against each other, how can we lend you food?" ”

"Didn't someone take the grain from you?" They are not reconciled.

"Ah, you're talking about those who have already surrendered," said the Yaogang soldiers, throwing them a few steamed buns, "some of them can't wait for General Guoyi to wake up and surrender first." Our men have taken over their castles, and of course we have to take care of their food! A lot of beef and mutton were sent. ”

These soldiers of the Dashun Army, who were biting on steamed buns, rushed back as they drove the car. As soon as they returned, the officers and soldiers in the castle stopped doing it and demanded surrender. But the officers defending the city did not dare to do it. But the soldiers made a fuss, and in the end he couldn't do anything. Early the next morning, they came to the kiln camp and demanded the surrender of the city.

Of course, the kiln gang people were willing, and a team of men and horses went to take over the castle with food.

The other castles saw that they had taken the lead, and they all came to tempt them. The officers who received the Yaogang were still very dissatisfied, and said to them: "You guys have come together, how troublesome will this meeting be?" ”

Those who came to tempt saw that it was true that the other castles had surrendered, and quickly nodded and said, "We can't be other people's masters, we can only take care of ourselves." ”

In less than two days, out of the more than fifty castles near Ganzhou, there were only five castles managed by the mighty general himself that did not surrender. At this time, General Guo Yi still did not wake up. The five mighty generals found that the surrounding castles had surrendered on their own, and they couldn't laugh or cry. On the third day they all surrendered. At this time, the grain from Shandan was also transported, and the soldiers and civilians of Ganzhou had food to eat. But many people are still starving to death.

Ning De invited the five mighty generals who surrendered to drink a meal of wine, and introduced to them the situation of the kiln gang and the situation in the world. Ningde asked them to join the team of Yaogang, and at the same time asked them to mention their own conditions.

What Ningde didn't expect was that their common condition was to let their families go to Yaogang. Of course Ningde was willing. The people who just took in, how relieved their families are in Yaogang!

Ningde said: "I promise you that when your family arrives at Yaogang, we will arrange a place for them to live. Children can attend the best schools. You don't know yet. Students who come to our school eat nutritious meals. Every morning, it's eggs and milk, and I have to eat kelp or something. After a few years of schooling, the children are much taller than the children outside. ”

Wang Yi was a little strange and asked, "General Ning persuaded me to send my family to Yaogang, but I was still a little hesitant. Why do you have to send your family to the kiln? ”

Wang Yi's words made the five mighty generals laugh. One said: "To tell you the truth, there is a merchant in Ganzhou who has a good personal relationship with our general, and we often borrow light to drink with us." When there was no war, he took people to the kiln. After I came back, I told me about the situation of the kiln. Heck, every time we see him, he tells us about the kiln. But he stayed in the kiln for more than ten days, and he still had to do business, so what he could say was limited. But we all know about the school and the children in Yaogang that he said. So when we discussed the dedication of the city, we wanted to put forward a condition that our family could go to the kiln, and we didn't care whether we lived or died. ”

"Huh! We heard that General Ningde, you and General Sun Chuanting have already sent their families to Yaogang, right? A mighty general asked.

"Huh! You also know this," Ning De said with a hearty smile, "Now look, the whole world, that is, the kiln is the best." I sent a telegram to my family and asked Mr. Zhang to arrange the accommodation of your family. To be honest, when we came, we thought that we must build this place like our kiln. Wasn't the kiln also built by people? ”

"Yes, yes! We'll do it with you. Several people agreed with Ningde's proposal.

"I heard that Sun Chuanting's general army has been on the Hexi side, do you have any news?" Ningde asked.

"We have always wanted to arrest Sun Zongbing, and we have heard that he hid in the countryside where the Hui people gathered under the cover of a Hui general. We got a couple of tips, and we didn't catch him. It's hard to say whether he's really alive or not. A general said.

Ning De nodded and didn't say anything more, and asked, "Generals, do you have any suggestions for your next move?" ”

The five generals understood that Ningde wanted them to go out and persuade them to surrender the Zhenyi Thousand Households and Gaotai Thousand Households. A general said: "General Ning can rest assured about this, since we are a family." Nature will help. Zhenyi Thousand Households, Gaotai Thousand Households, a few of me went to a visit, basically no major problems. They also ran out of food there. We'll go and persuade them early tomorrow morning. But in Suzhou and Jiayuguan, we can't speak. Each of the two places was garrisoned by a mighty general. The two of them have nothing to do with us, and if General Guo Yi is there, they can still give some face. ”

"Okay! As long as you can solve the problem of Zhenyi Thousand Households and Gaotai Thousand Households, and fewer people die, I will give you another credit. Ningde said, "There are few people at the border gates, and it is not easy to live." Let's try to kill as few people as possible! ”

Several generals were also very moved when they heard Ningde's words. Wang Yi said: "You will know later. There are still many more powerful weapons in the Yaogang Army that we don't know about. They just want to die less and it's useless. ”

One general said: "This is something I have never heard of, and I have always fought for fear that my opponent will not die." ”

Ning De said: "Actually, any of your friends who went to the kiln only saw what was on the surface of the kiln. Let me tell you, the greatest advantage of the kiln is that it treats people as human beings. If you understand this, you can understand why Mr. Zhang is reluctant to let us use those weapons that are too powerful. ”

Ningde's sentence "treat people as human beings" made these people's hearts move, they all came out of suffering and knew the hardships of being a poor and inferior person. One general said: "General Ning, we will follow you and build this place into a place where 'people are treated as human beings'." ”

Ningde is now determined to win the hearts and minds of the people as well as the city. This won the hearts and minds of the people, and it was easier to govern.

In order to deal with the affairs of Ganzhou, Ningde decided to rest here for a few days, and then finally marched to Suzhou and Jiayuguan.

Ningde reported the situation in Ganzhou to Yaogang and Chen Yufeng by telegram, and also reported to Li Kui.

At the same time, Ningde suggested to Zhang Zhimu that investment here should be increased. As long as it can be restored, there is still a lot of potential here, whether it is agriculture or animal husbandry.

In the Yaogang Command Center, after Zhang Zhimu received the telegram, he happily said to Yan Boju: "Yan Boju, if there is one more stop, Ningde and they will arrive at Jiayuguan." ”

Yan Boju said: "When you send a telegram back to Ningde, don't forget, see if you can get a bloody BMW?" ”

At this time, Qingfengzi called the command center. Zhang Zhimu heard about Qingfengzi's call and felt that something big must be wrong with him.

Zhang Zhimu took the phone, and Qingfengzi said: "Mr. Zhang, they brought back ore samples from Weinan, and I am sure that it is molybdenum ore." ”

"Great!" Zhang Zhimu said happily, "In the future, after your monocrystalline silicon is made, you can use molybdenum wire to slice." ”

When Qingfengzi heard this, he said, "Mr. Zhang, monocrystalline silicon will have to wait for some time." But we've got the hang of it. Won't wait too long. ”

"Good! Hold on. Zhang Zhimu said.

Putting down Qingfengzi's phone, Zhang Zhimu hurriedly called Lu Bingyi, "Mr. Lu, I have good news for you." The ore in Weinan was confirmed to be molybdenum. In addition, General Ningde and they have already conquered Ganzhou (Zhangye), and they will soon go to Suzhou (Jiuquan). If you have time, bring our prospecting team here. I'm going to give them a task. ”

"Great! I'll bring someone over right away. Lu Bingyi was also very happy when he heard it.

Yan Boju didn't understand what molybdenum was or not, but seeing Zhang Zhimu happy like this, he was also happy.

Lu Bingyi came over with a few heads of the prospecting team. After Zhang Zhimu gave up his seat to them, he said: "Congratulations, the ore samples you collected from Weinan have been confirmed to be molybdenum ore." You didn't work in vain! ”

"It's not hard, it's good to be sure." Although several people already knew the result from Lu Bingyi, they were still very happy when Zhang Zhimu said this. Because their efforts were not in vain.

"I'm going to give you a new mission this time, which is also very important." Zhang Zhimu said, "Our General Ningde has already led a team to Ganzhou, and he will soon hit Suzhou (Jiuquan)." Come and have a look. ”

Zhang Zhimu led them to the map, pointed to Yongchangwei (Yongchang) and said: "This Yongchangwei is already ours, and there is a nickel mine from here to the north (Jinchang)." Also," Zhang Zhimu pointed to Suzhou Wei (Jiuquan) with his hand and said, "There is a salt pond near Suzhou (Jiuquan) and there is a chrome mine near it. You must find these two ores. I'm telling you, if we put these two things in our steel, then it won't rust. ”

"Then let's organize two teams and look for them separately." The prospecting team said one head.

"yes, but it's too far away. You have to study something with Master Qingfengzi that can do simple testing. Zhang Zhimu said, "No, I will let Qingfengzi send two disciples to follow you." ”

"That's great!" Said the head of the prospecting team.

"Also," Zhang Zhimu said to Yan Boju, "Uncle Yan, how about borrowing a squad from your SWAT team to be their bodyguard?" ”

"No problem, is a squad of thirty people enough?" Yan Boju was very supportive and said, "I'll pick a team for you that works." Let them obey your commands absolutely. I also want to assist you in prospecting. ”

Zhang Zhimu called Qingfengzi again to tell him about it, and Qingfengzi was also very supportive. Zhang Zhimu asked them to go back and prepare.

Zhang Zhimu dictated, asked the staff officer to record, and sent a telegram back to Ningde, the content:

1. Congratulations on the victory of Ganzhou;

2. After obtaining Jiayuguan, organize the construction of bridges and roads from Jiayuguan to Lanzhou as soon as possible, and the cost will be fully supported by the company;

3. The head office has decided to dredge the waterway from Huangshui and Datong River to the Yellow River;

4. Two megawatts of power generation equipment will be sent to the Hexi area as soon as possible, so that the Hexi area can use electricity as soon as possible, and when the conditions are ripe, large-scale power plants and cement plants can be built there;

5. The telephone and telegraph equipment will be prepared for you in the Hexi area, and you will be responsible for the wood for the wiring;

6. A large amount of grain will be organized to the Hexi area immediately. However, please remember that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, so after a large amount of grain arrives, do not blindly throw it into the market all at once. We can use the advantage of our abundant grain to regulate grain prices and ensure the stable operation of the economy;

7. Immediately organize the Yaogang branch to be stationed in the Hexi area to support the construction there;

8. I will soon send out a mining team to Hexi, where there are many precious minerals urgently needed by the kiln gang in Hexi. If these mines are put into production, it will greatly promote the economic development of Hexi;

9. Regarding the families of the officers of the Dashun Army who defected to us, please rest assured that their accommodation will be arranged whenever they come, and priority will be given to their children going to school and their families going to work;

10. Regarding the treatment of the generals who came from the Dashun Army, I will decide after I go to Xi'an to see Mr. Chen and Mr. Ouyang for discussion. There are three points in my opinion, one is to judge merit and ability, the second is to never be disadvantaged, and the third is to be appointed to the deputy post first, and only after passing the training can he be appointed to the main post.

After Ningde received the telegram, he happily said to Zhao Jinli: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is really generous!" We can't do it well if we don't do a good job in Hexi. ”

Zhao Jinli said: "Don't just make the two of us happy, let them be happy too." ”

"Yes, yes!" Ning De hurriedly asked Wang Yi to invite all the mighty generals. Ningde handed them the telegram. But only two of them were literate.

Ningde asked Zhao Jinli to read the telegram to them. Strangely, instead of getting excited, they asked Ningde: "What's the matter with your telegram?" ”

Ningde realized that they didn't understand what the telegram was, and they couldn't connect the content of the telegram with the decision made by the kiln gang.

Zhao Jinli hurriedly explained to them what was going on with the telegram. Figured out what the telegram was all about. Several powerful generals asked Zhao Jinli to read the telegram again. They were happy when they figured out the contents. However, they don't seem to be happy with the fact that they are all assigned deputy positions.

Ning De smiled and said: "You just have great ability, and you can't do a regular job without formal training." To tell you the truth, if you are asked to do your job now, you will not be able to do it. Our army is simple infantry artillery coordination, you don't understand. Not to mention the rest. ”

Zhao Jinli also added: "Also, there are still people who can't even read the telegram. It shows that you are illiterate, so even the soldiers do not obey you, how can you be an officer. ”

Someone was not convinced and asked: "Are your officers literate?" ”

"The officers are literate, and most of the veterans are literate." Zhao Jinli said, "When the battle is over, you should go to the kiln to study for a while." Otherwise, you won't fit in with our team. ”

The person bowed his head, and Wang Yi asked, "Can we talk on the phone here in the future?" ”

"Huh! Didn't Mr. Zhang's telegram say that everything is ready for us. It'll be there soon, as long as we get some trees to make poles. Ningde said with a smile.

A mighty general asked, "What kind of house will you prepare for us when we arrive at Yaogang?" ”

"Huh!" Both Ning De and Zhao Jinli laughed. Zhao Jinli said: "The prepared house, to ensure that you can't see it here, will have electric lights, telephones, water supply, heating, and gas. ”

"What?" A few people don't understand it anymore.

"Hey!" There was no way, Zhao Jinli explained to them again what electric lights, telephones, water supply, heating, and gas were.

These people were still a little confused when they heard it, and it was difficult to understand these things for a while.

Ningde and they rested in Ganzhou, and at the same time pacified and relieved the local people.

The two mighty generals of Suzhou and Jiayuguan were not idle. They knew that the Yaogang people were coming, but the five guards of Ganzhou fell at the same time, and they didn't expect it. These two mighty generals have little contact with the mighty generals of Ganzhou. Because the generals of the five guards in Ganzhou are all close associates of General Guo Yi, and the good things are theirs. Only the drudgery of Suzhou and Jiayuguan can take their turn. They have always been disgruntled. They can be regarded as sympathetic to each other together, so they have a close relationship. Because when the strength of the Ming Dynasty weakened, the seven guards from Guanxi shrank, and the west of Jiayuguan was invaded by the Mongols. Jiayuguan and Suzhou need to rely on each other, which also makes it necessary for them to strengthen their ties. Because at all times they had to be wary of Mongol infestation.

When the Ming Dynasty managed Jiayuguan and Suzhou, Jiayuguan set up guerrilla generals and Suzhou Wei set up guard commanders. The guard commander is the third grade, and the guerrilla general is the fifth grade. However, Li Zicheng attached great importance to this place, and Suzhou Wei and Jiayuguan assigned mighty generals to guard it. Li Zicheng did this for a reason, Jiayuguan is too important, it is the forefront of facing the west.

Suzhou Wei also has dozens of castles. What is better for them here than Ganzhou is that their food is not as scarce as that in Ganzhou. Because General Guo Yi knew that they were at the forefront and did not dare to let them run out of food. Now there are more than 6,000 horses in Suzhou.

The mighty general guarding Suzhou (Jiuquan) was still actively preparing for war, and he knew that the people of Yaogang had long regarded Suzhou (Jiuquan) as something in their pockets. Even the chrome mine in Suzhou (Jiuquan) is in the plan.
