Chapter 61 The Great Victory at Jiayuguan Consider Jiangnan

It was also dangerous for more than 20,000 cavalry to be surrounded in an encirclement, but Li Kui, Zhou Yuji, and Zhao Jinli all knew that Ningde wanted to capture more prisoners, so none of them ordered the artillery to open fire on the Mongol soldiers who were huddled together. Otherwise, if a shell falls, a pile of minced meat will explode.

Zhao Jinli ordered the Mongolian-speaking soldiers to shout to the panicked Mongol soldiers in the encirclement, ordering them to dismount and surrender. But after shouting for a long time, no one from the Mongols dismounted and surrendered.

At this time, a division commander behind Zhao Jinli said: "Army commander, they don't dare to dismount even if they want to surrender." If you get off the horse, you will be trampled to death by other horses. ”

Only then did Zhao Jinli understand that in the crowded herd of horses, none of them dared to dismount. So Zhao Jinli ordered his cavalry to get out of the way and let the Mongol soldiers who were willing to surrender come on horseback.

At this time, the Mongolian soldiers were no longer the eagles on the steppe who were not afraid of the sky and the earth, they were frightened by the bloody death, and many people were looking forward to survival. Because dying here is simply too simple, Hao Anda beside him may have just finished talking to himself, and he will die of flesh and blood immediately. I can't find an opponent if I want to. It's terrifying, and it's more unbearable than death itself. When Zhao Jinli asked people to shout and order them to surrender, none of them dared to dismount, first, they would be trampled to death by the horse, and second, they would be killed by people who did not want to surrender. But the Mongol soldiers huddled together lost their leader, and it was also dangerous. The danger is not only that these Mongols are gathered and desperate, but that if the horses blow up and collide with each other, it will cause even more chaos.

Fortunately, Zhao Jinli and the others discovered this problem and gave them a way to get off the horse and surrender.

After a moment of hesitation, two young Mongols rode towards the passage, and when they reached the passage, they threw their bows and arrows and sabers on the ground with great amusement. A company commander of the Kiln Cavalry guarding the entrance of the passage waved at them and let them go out along the passage. When they walked along the long passage formed by the kiln cavalry to the exit, the kiln cavalry asked them to dismount, took their horses, and sent them to an open field. There were kiln guards on all sides of the clearing.

With the lead, the Mongol soldiers walked towards this passage one after another.

Li Kui and Zhou Yuji, who were standing on a high place, used binoculars to see what Zhao Jinli was doing, and ordered the cavalry to open a few more passages, so that the Mongol soldiers would disperse and surrender faster.

Zhou Yuji couldn't help but say to Li Kui: "These generals in Yaogang are not ordinary. Although Zhao Jinli is only a military commander, he is definitely a general. ”

"Huh!" Li Kui smiled and said, "Although Zhao Jinli is a military commander, his qualifications are not low. I think Zhang always knows the magic of employing people. This is what Mr. Ouyang often says in class, 'light and weighty'! ”

"Although we have seen all the Lingshui Bajie that everyone said, none of these people I have seen are ordinary people." Zhou Yuji said, "This Zhao Jinli's hand playing in Jiayuguan makes me have to look at it differently." ”

While the two of them were talking, Zhao Jinli rode over and saluted, "The two generals have worked hard for a long time!" ”

"Haha! No, it's too hard. When you don't have to rest, I'll help you work. Li Kui smiled and said, "Tonight, we can't have a drink that is a violation of military rules, right?" ”

Zhao Jinli said: "I don't think it should be counted. How can this celebration wine be considered a violation of military rules? ”

Zhou Yuji also laughed and said, "Haha! Commander Zhao, do you have good wine here? We hadn't drunk in a long time, and the birds were out of our mouths. ”

"Don't worry, good wine is enough!" Zhao Jinli said, "There is not only good wine here. I've been carrying two jars of good wine from the kiln and I'm not willing to drink it, so let's drink it today. ”

"That's right!" Li Kui waved the whip in his hand and said, "If you don't drink good wine at this time, when will you wait?" ”

Zhou Yuji also pointed to the Mongolian soldiers who were queuing up to surrender and said: "Look at them, drink the wine of the kiln, it's really happy!" ”

Zhao Jinli asked, "Do you send a telegram to your home to report the good news first?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Kui said, "Hurry up and send a telegram home." You see we are talking in purity. Forgot about business. ”

"Then tell my family that Jiayu Pass is a great victory. Annihilated the Mongolian army in front of Jiayu Pass. The results are being counted. Zhou Yuji said.

The staff officer behind Zhao Jinli quickly wrote a telegram and handed it to Zhao Jinli. Zhao Jinli handed it to Zhou Yuji and said, "Commander Zhou, you should sign." In terms of rank, you are the highest commander here. ”

"Hey! Let's not divide it into such details. Although Zhou Yuji said this, he still picked up the pen and signed.

Handing the telegram to Zhao Jinli, Zhou Yuji said: "The biggest feeling I felt when I arrived at Yaogang was that I felt happy. My commander doesn't have to put up a fight with me, and I don't have to put a stand down there. In fact, this does not affect my respect for my superiors, nor does it affect the respect of my subordinates for me. It's a great feeling. ”

"Hey! I said Commander Zhou, you will talk about it when you drink at night. Li Kui asked Zhao Jinli again, "You have repeatedly said that you want to capture prisoners, this is more than 20,000 people, do you have a place to arrange?" ”

"Huh! Not to mention that it really worries me. Zhao Jinli said, "I didn't expect to capture so many prisoners." But I'll put them in two urns tonight. Ask General Ningde for advice and see where the captives are sent? Our nickel and chrome mines are already working. In addition, the highway over the Qilian Mountains in Xining is also under construction, and the railway embankment from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan has also begun to be built. It requires a lot of labor. ”

Zhou Yuji smiled and said, "Hehe! Is there more movement on your side than on my side? ”

Li Kui said: "General Ningde said that we are in the west and you are in the north, and if we do a good job, we will be able to solve our food problem." That's why General Ningde made a special statement that he wanted to capture more prisoners. ”

"Yes, we will take more prisoners and give them a way to live." Zhou Yuji said.

The three of them laughed and walked towards Jiayu Pass, when the staff officer sent a telegram, "General Ningde has sent a telegram back." ”

Zhao Jinli took the telegram and looked at it and said, "There is a fight on the Xining side. Let's march to Yumen and Guazhou tomorrow. ”

Zhou Yuji took the telegram from Zhao Jinli's hand, glanced at it and said, "It seems that General Ningde can't catch up with the war on the Xining side. But we are right to march to Yumen and Guazhou tomorrow. Do not leave the Mongols there a chance to react. ”

Li Kui said: "Okay! Just don't delay tonight's celebration wine! ”

"Hahaha!" The three of them laughed at each other. At this time, celebration wine is the favorite of these heroes who fought on the battlefield.

During this time, there were battles in the east, north and west, but the radio station in Yaogang did not report it at all. The people in Yaogang thought it was very strange, and some people privately discussed: "I don't want to talk about whether I lost the battle." I used to say that I won the battle! ”

Someone said: "No, we kiln gang people can still defeat the battle?" ”

At this time, the situation of the battle is no longer Zhang Zhimu's excessive concern.

During this time, Li Yunhe's good news to Zhang Zhimu was that their delta wing test team had already gained a lot of experience in piloting delta wings. Now instead of being dragged by a wagon, they can fly on their own by running down a hill. Some people can already fly to a height of several hundred meters, and they can fly for a long time without falling. Now Li Yunhe can't help but learn to fly a few times, and he feels very good.

This made Zhang Zhimu very happy. Zhang Zhimu said to Li Yunhe: "You must speed up the development of alloy aluminum casting engines. If you can cast an engine with alloy aluminum, you can build a power delta wing. That's the real flying machine. ”

Li Yunhe said: "Don't worry about this matter. Now the brethren of the flying team, they urge me every day. Actually, I'm even more anxious. ”

One of the things that the people of Yaogang talk about is that semiconductor radios are on the market. Although this thing is not cheap, those rich people or fashionable young ladies carry radios on the street, and they all straddle them with a belt, for fear of falling to the ground and breaking it. Zhang Zhimu bought Xiaoqing and Xiaohu a semiconductor radio each. Although the radio is still a wooden case, the appearance is quite exquisite. The children were like babies with semiconductor radios, and they were very careful to dial the sound. Sometimes they feel a little distressed when they see Zhang Zhimu holding the radio very casually. Some students came home from school to see their semiconductor radios. They would go out in the courtyard with a radio for everyone to listen to, but they would not allow their classmates to do their own thing.

Being able to hold a radio and listen to it while walking is a sign of a wealthy old man. Morning and evening, you can see elderly people and children walking down the street with radios on their shoulders. This reminded Zhang Zhimu of the scene when Big Brother had just appeared on his mobile phone in his previous life. Didn't those who had a cell phone also hold a cell phone and make a call in the middle of the road?

One thing that made Zhang Zhimu even happier was that Yangchang had made a lot of progress in the integrated circuits they were engaged in. They can already make an octabit of one-byte memory on a single chip, and various triggers are basically made into a single chip. Zhang Zhimu knew that he was getting closer and closer to the computer.

Zhang Zhimu's design of the character terminal circuit that uses the screen to display characters is also almost designed. Now Zhang Zhimu has assigned a task to Yang Chang and Editor-in-Chief Fan, and they will work together to make a character dot matrix.

Zhang Zhimu redesigned the SACII code with reference to the code used in the telegraph. Because Zhang Zhimu can't remember the SACII code of his previous life no matter what. I had to redesign. The first thing that came to his mind was the case of twenty-six letters, then Arabic numerals, then punctuation, then various tabs, and a carriage return line break. What can be represented by a pattern, Zhang Zhimu asked Editor-in-Chief Fan to find someone to write it out with a pen in a 6x8 square, and then follow the grid to make a dot matrix pattern of the characters, and then Yangchang and their people made a 5x7 dot matrix binary code.

Zhang Zhimu knows that it is not possible to produce the mask ROM in the previous life, and the character dot matrix can only be produced with transistor technology. So Zhang Zhimu told Yangchang that they use a 5x7 array in a chip, and all the intersection positions are pointed, so they use the C pole and E pole of a triode to connect, otherwise they will be directly connected to the power supply through a resistor, so that if there is a triode in the row and column, the triode will be turned on, and the output will be zero, and the potential of the triode will be kept high without the triode. In this way, you can make a character dot matrix chip, and now the requirements cannot be high, only requiring each chip to complete one character. In addition, use a three-choice decoder to select the line of the dot matrix, so that the five-bit binary number, that is, the line of dot matrix information, can be output in parallel each time. Because there are seven lines in the character dot matrix, three binary digits are required to be selected through decoding. Such a film also needs a selective end, that is, when used in the future, the ASCii code decoder can be used to select the selector for different character chips.

With these, Zhang Zhimu can make a character generator next. Fortunately, as long as these things are handed over to Yangchang and them, Zhang Zhimu doesn't have to worry about it. Now that the number of members of Yangchang's team has increased rapidly, many people now have a lot of experience in electronics. Therefore, Yangchang is also preparing to start a special magazine called "Electronic Technology". Li Di and the others also have the idea of starting a magazine called "Electric Power Technology". Zhang Zhimu gave great support to these things. It turned out that there were several technical magazines in the kiln, which were not very ideal. Now Zhang Zhimu wants to have the editor-in-chief Fan in charge of cooperating with various technical departments to jointly publish such a technical magazine. Because pure technology is not a matter of publishing, printing and distribution; Those who understand printing and distribution, do not understand technology, and do not know how to review. So there has to be a combination of the two to make the magazine well.

When Chen Yufeng informed Zhang Zhimu of the news of the great victory in front of Jiayuguan by phone, Zhang Zhimu was accompanying Yang Yulin, who was about to give birth. Hearing the news, Yang Yulin said to Zhang Zhimu: "You don't have to accompany me, there are many people here." You go to the command center! ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Yang Yulin at this time very much wanted Zhang Zhimu to be by her side, but she also knew that after the victory at Jiayuguan, the situation in the entire west would be stable. All the fighting in the whole north is coming to an end. At this time, it is even more necessary for Zhang Zhimu and his comrades to be together.

Zhang Zhimu shook Yang Yulin's hand and left her to the command center.

After reading the telegram handed over by Ouyang He, Zhang Zhimu said: "Now we should invite Editor-in-Chief Fan to come over and give you a comprehensive report on the war during this time." ”

Chen Yufeng said: "It's time for everyone to understand the situation. Otherwise, they will all be suspicious, and the more the matter spreads, the more outrageous it becomes. ”

At this time, Ouyang He said: "Mr. Zhang, I think the war in Xining should also have a result." Is it waiting for them to finish reporting together, it's too late anyway. ”

"No need, we have a border division in Xining, and an infantry division of Zhao Jinli's First Army, I don't think it's a big problem." Zhang Zhimu said, "However, General Ningde rushed over, and the war would be over." In my opinion, the people are very concerned about the war now, and it is best to reassure everyone as soon as possible. We've been blocking news because we don't want our adversaries to get information, and that's no longer the problem. ”

"Huh!" Chen Yufeng said with a rare smile, "I agree with Zhimu's opinion, let everyone know the news as soon as possible!" Not to mention others, if our two princes don't come to understand the situation in two days, they will be uneasy. ”

Ouyang He asked Zhang Zhimu again: "The captives have arrived in Datong, how should we arrange them?" ”

This time, in the battle on the Eastern Front, a total of more than 20,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, more than 6,000 Mongolian soldiers, more than 4,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, plus more than 5,000 Mongolian soldiers captured in the Gray Tengliang Mountain, there are now more than 35,000 people in the north, and the total number of captured war horses can be more than 100,000. Not to mention the captives, the value of hundreds of thousands of war horses is simply a huge number.

How to arrange these captives, Zhang Zhimu really didn't think about it, "What happened to the Ordos Mongol captives that we captured?" ”

"Huh! At the beginning, they helped Qin Zhidao to do sand control projects on both sides of the desert part. If they did very well, they were given a horse and some food, and they were let go home. The rest are building the road, the road to the soda ash mine. Ouyang He said.

Zhang Zhimu nodded and said, "Ou! If that road is finished, we will be able to have very cheap soda ash. The cost of our glass cement will also come down. ”

It turns out that on the Ordos Plateau, there are several saline-alkali lakes. When Lu Bingyi sent students to investigate, he found that there was a dry lake, which was soda ash and very pure, and it could be used as industrial soda ash when it was shipped out. It can be used directly to make glass and cement.

When Zhang Zhimu heard this, he said to Lu Bingyi: "For us, this is the same as a gold mine. ”

Lu Bingyi also said: "If the Yellow River Bridge can be opened to traffic this year, we will build the road to the alkali mine." We'll be able to get the white gold out. ”

Ouyang He said that the captives were building the road, which was to participate in the construction of the road.

However, Li Dong and his team have also completed the railway to Baiyun Mine, the power plant is under construction, the first unit can generate electricity by the end of this year, and the rotary kiln cement plant can also be put into operation this year. They need a lot of labor to work in the mines. Zhang Zhimu said: "These tens of thousands of people will give Li Dong them first!" Li Dong used captives as miners in the smelting field. We just have armed police officers who take good care of the captives. ”

"I think I need to talk to Yan Boju about this matter, and they will send someone to take care of the prisoners." Chen Yufeng said, "On the side of the dolomite mine is different from the side of the smelter. The captives on this side of the smelting field can't escape when they run out. Escaping over there is like a fish entering the sea. ”

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Fan came in with two editors.

After Ouyang He gave up his seat to them, Zhang Zhimu said to Editor-in-Chief Fan: "I have good news for you. We have just won a great victory at Jiayuguan, and we have completely annihilated the Mongol soldiers attacking Jiayuguan. The specific results are still being counted. But I asked you to come now because I want you to broadcast our recent results to everyone. So as not to make everyone suspicious. ”

Editor-in-chief Fan said: "This is great, otherwise, we would get calls every day to inquire about the news. We kiln gang people will not live without good news. I don't know how many people listen to the news first thing every morning. ”

"Let me explain to you that I didn't broadcast it in time some time ago because I didn't want to inform our opponent of the information. Because our opponents are also listening to our radio. Ouyang He said.

"Good! Leave this to us. Editor-in-chief Fan said, "Can you tell us about the battle at Jiayuguan?" Our other battle situations have already been written, just make up for Jiayuguan. ”

Ouyang He told Chief Fan about Li Kui and Zhou Yuji crossing Helan Mountain, bypassing the desert grassland outside the Great Wall, and cooperating with the defenders of Jiayuguan to surround the Mongol soldiers from behind.

After listening to what Ouyang He said, Editor-in-Chief Fan said: "Okay, let's go back and prepare immediately, and strive to broadcast the news as soon as possible." Tonight, the tavern in Yaogang is going to be full again. ”

Every time there is good news, everyone is willing to go to the tavern to exchange and celebrate, which is already a scenery of Yaogang.

Editor-in-chief Fan They left, Chen Yufeng asked; "Zhimu! I heard that Yulin is going to give birth, why aren't you at home? ”

"Hey! I can't help with this when I'm not at home. Zhang Zhimu said, "Our house is lively now. Yulin's relatives on her mother's side, plus Xiao Hongyu and Princess Anping, were all at home. I'm at home with this uncomfortable! It's better to hide out. ”

Ouyang He said: "The new generation is so good! When they grow up, they don't know what the world will become. ”

"I hope that there will be peace in the world and no more wars. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, to the best of his ability. Zhang Zhimu said.

"It's better to think about that!" Chen Yufeng said, "It's time for us to study the affairs of Jiangnan, right?" ”

"Yes! Do we take Sichuan or Jiangnan first? We're going to have to think about that first. Ouyang He said.

"I haven't thought about these things yet, so let's study them first!" Zhang Zhimu said, "When it comes to fighting, we will not have opponents. The question is still the old question, whether we have the ability to eat down the beaten place. I have an analogy that our military capability is our external strength, and our ability to govern places is our internal strength. We have to cultivate both internally and externally. Without good internal strength, relying entirely on external strength will consume ourselves. I think we still need to spend some time running the Central Plains area. These days, Li Mao, Li Yan, and Yan Xing will all rush back. I have some ideas that I would like to discuss with you. Li Mao has suggested to me on many occasions that we should complete the work of building the party as soon as possible. In this way, we will have a party with the same goal to guide our cause. It's that we, the people, are gone, as long as the party exists. Our business will continue. In my view, the conditions are now ripe for our party building. It is the secret of our founding that is known to the imperial court, and they can no longer help us. Of course, we still have to keep the activities of the party organizations secret for a short time. Our party also needs to constantly improve in its work. For the sake of building the party, Li Mao has done a lot of work. In particular, a lot of copywriting work has been prepared. When he returns, we'll look into the next big thing. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "It's time to consider the matter of building the party. What we are doing now is in the name of a trader, and it is not justified. ”

"We have first completed the formation of the party's core, and we must also improve the administrative organization. It is necessary to build an organizational structure for the future governance of the country. Ouyang He said, "Now, I think we can take only one year to stabilize the Central Plains in our hands." Our cadre capabilities are also different from those of the past, and besides, our influence is beyond our original imagination. If it goes well, we can enter Jiangnan next year. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "This year, we have two more warships that can be launched at Lingshui Wharf, so that we have five warships for inland waterways. The aluminum-hulled gunboat is about to be tested, and we have a sharp weapon to enter the south of the Yangtze River. We have ships that can travel on all kinds of waterways in the south, and militarily, we can march at any time. I think the cadres we have trained are not too much. Li Mao's proposal to build a cadre academy in Hanyang could be considered. ”

"This year is very critical for us, we have a lot to do and it is very important." Zhang Zhimu said, "I also have to straighten out my thinking, and we need to be calm at this time." ”

Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He began to study the future. But what was happening in front of them brought shocks that they didn't expect. The news that will be broadcast tonight has set off a storm, and Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He are all unprepared.
