Chapter 14 Adjustment Strategy Study the establishment of an air force

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen talk about building the railway, Zhang Zhimu smiled and said: "The railway there must be repaired." However, our domestic railways cannot be repaired, so we have to wait and see. ”

Fan Jingwen, a scholar, did not let go of this opportunity and asked: "Zhang Dongjia, when did you promise the emperor to build the railway from Zhangjiakou to Beijing?" ”

"Huh! We've sent someone over and started measuring. Zhang Zhimu said, "To build a railway, you also need to choose a good route, and if you don't choose a good route, it will take labor and effort, and it will delay time." Strive to start construction this year! ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "You don't need to ask much about what Zhang Dongjia promised, you will definitely be able to arrange it!" "Emperor Chongzhen's evaluation of Zhang Zhimu is very high.

When Zhang Zhimu left the Yaogang Hotel, the driver said: "Mr. Chen just sent someone to inform him that you should go to the command center again." ”

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhimu knew that something was going on again.

Zhang Zhimu returned to the command center, and Ouyang He asked with a smile: "What did the emperor say, Mr. Zhang?" ”

"I almost jumped up with joy!" Zhang Zhimu replied, listening to Ouyang He ask about this, he knew that there was no major event here.

Sure enough, Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu! Mu Yi sent a telegram, and they were a little worried! ”

"Oh! They are playing well, what are you worried about? ”

"Huh!" Ouyang He smiled and said, "They tossed around Japan again, returned to Tsushima Island, and found that the secret envoy of the Tokugawa Shogunate was already waiting for them on Tsushima Island. Want to negotiate with them. It was time for them to leave, and we were not ready to negotiate peace with them, so Mu Yi sent a telegram back and asked, how to reply to them? ”

"Hmmm! In my opinion, Zhou Yuji and they successfully solved the Mongols, and Jiang Ji and them were able to free up their hands to deal with the Japanese. Don't we have to talk to them? Let them surrender and it's over. If they don't surrender, we'll beat them to surrender. Zhang Zhimu felt that this thing was very easy to do.

"Huh!" Ouyang He smiled and said, "That's what we mean, just now Mr. Chen and I are also talking about this." Liu Yun and they are making a plan, which roughly means that they can let Jiang Ji and them free up one cavalry division and two infantry divisions to deal with the Japanese. ”

"Isn't it a little less?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"The main thing is that the territory occupied by Jiang Pai and their side is too big, and they need a lot of troops, especially the newly occupied areas, and it is not easy for the army to leave all at once." Chen Yufeng said.

"And!" Ouyang He said, "In fact, every part of Japan is an island country, and with the cooperation of the navy, we can clean them up one by one." ”

"I suddenly had an idea, can we transfer Wu Sangui and their troops over?" Zhang Zhimu's mind had an idea.

"Yes! Good idea! Chen Yufeng blurted out.

"yes!" Ouyang He also felt the same way, but Ouyang He said, "But we have to think about how to deal with the Japanese." Then we have a goal in our arrangement! ”

"The Japanese must be completely solved, this nation is bullying the weak and climbing the hard, if you are convinced today, he will crawl on the ground, and tomorrow he will slow down, and he will become a wolf again!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"Huh! What we have been worried about before is that Mr. Zhang is soft-hearted. It seems that Mr. Zhang has no intention of being soft-hearted when dealing with the Japanese. Ouyang He said with a smile.

Zhang Zhimu nodded, but he couldn't tell them what virtues the Japanese were, now that he has the opportunity, he will completely solve them, they are a scourge to stay on the earth, "I agree with that opinion, we have to separate them from men and women, and then let them fend for themselves." ”

"Then it's easy to do!" Ouyang He said, "Zhou Yuji's downsized veterans, the older ones were assigned to Liaodong, and the younger ones organized a reclamation regiment to take over the land left by the Japanese. Let's find a way to emigrate some people from the past. Replace all the Japanese with ours. ”

"Hmmm! There will be a lot of land vacated there, and we can gather immigrants from all over the country, and if anyone goes to Japan, we will give them land, and there will definitely be a large number of peasants willing to go there. Chen Yufeng said.

"And yes!" Ouyang He said, "The Japanese royal family and the daimyo in various places must be wiped out. And their samurai can't stay either. Those are people who can't work and have no use value. ”

"I agree!" Zhang Zhimu said without hesitation. It is absolutely impossible to be polite to deal with the hateful nation of Japan, and Zhang Zhimu is much clearer than Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He in this regard.

"So! The forces are enough to deal with the Japanese," Ouyang He said, "but there is one thing you need to do!" Mr. Zhang. ”

"Hmmm! What's the matter? ”

"Wu Sangui's matter still needs you to go and say hello to the emperor! I also want to talk to Wu Sangui first. ”

"Do I want to ask Li Yan to go to Shanhaiguan again?" Chen Yufeng asked.

"Well, I'll talk to Li Yan about this!" Zhang Zhimu felt that it was better to talk to Li Yan himself. It is not easy to run to Shanhaiguan, although the road from Zhangjiakou to Shanhaiguan has been repaired, but it is a dirt road after all. But such a big matter must be explained to Wu Sangui in person. This person Li Yan is the most suitable.

"Wu Sangui's side shouldn't be a big problem, this time he didn't follow the Northern Expedition, Wu Sangui was already very dissatisfied. He still wants to fight. Otherwise, who is he dealing with in Shanhaiguan now? Chen Yufeng still knows Wu Sangui very well. When a general doesn't fight, it's a very painful thing.

"There shouldn't be any big problems on the emperor's side," Zhang Zhimu said, "The emperor already knows that we have a connection with Wu Sangui, and he probably knows very well in his heart that Wu Sangui is already our person!" He's going to do it. The day after tomorrow, at the consecration ceremony of our Puzhao Temple, I found an opportunity to tell the emperor about this. ”

After saying this, Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu! Again, it's not much worse if you don't worry about these things! You're still staring at things that no one else can do. ”

Ouyang He also said: "Yes! Mr. Zhang, you can see that our plane has shown its power again this time. Their role will be even greater in the future! You just focus on the plane! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Zhimu also smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, Mr. Ouyang, if you don't tell me about this, I will tell you too." In the future, aircraft may well decide the outcome of the war. We need to form an independent air force, and we need to do it early. Li Yunhe: The aircraft they are developing now is much stronger than the aircraft they are using now. In the future, they will not only develop more aircraft for fighting wars, but also planes for transporting guests and supplies, planes that can take off and land on large ships, and planes that can take off and land on water. The problem now is that we need a dedicated person to take care of this. Li Wei is responsible for too many things and it is also very important, I mean to set aside a person to form an air force, and at the same time coordinate the development and production of aircraft. Aircraft development and production will form its own system in the future. Whether it is the test system, or the design and production, a strict system is required to support. Therefore, this person must be fully capable. Zhang Zhimu admired Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He's sensitivity, and they already keenly felt that the plane would play a greater role in the future. Therefore, his own opinion was put forward.

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He glanced at each other and smiled. Chen Yufeng said: "Zhimu! We thought of a piece of this. What do you think of Liu Chenghuang? ”

"Oh! Absolutely! Zhang Zhimu said, "Liu Chenghuang is a very suitable candidate. However, isn't Yoo Sung-hun's mission to deal with the overseas Luzon side? ”

"That's right," Ouyang He said, "But, Mr. Zhang, you see, what happened over there, looking at it now, is it still a big deal?" As long as our navy frees up his hands and Liu Chenghuang leads people over, he will do the things over there. When he's done with what he has done over there, just let him come back! ”

"Hmmm! Also, now we have no opponents militarily, but the military needs to obey our political arrangements! Zhang Zhimu said, "After Liu Chenghuang comes back, he will send Lin Feng or Shi Xiu to the south, and Wei Xiang will be on the Liaodong side." It's time for our 'Lingshui Bajie' to be on their own. ”

"Haha!"

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He heard Zhang Zhimu say it, and the 'Eight Masters of Lingshui' all laughed.

After laughing, Chen Yufeng asked: "Zhimu, have you also heard of the term 'Lingshui Eight Masters'?" ”

"Hey! I also heard what Yulin told me, but this statement is very vivid and accurate. These eight people did make great contributions in the early days of our kiln gang business. At the same time, they have worked out themselves. Zhang Zhimu said seriously.

Ouyang He said: "Mr. Chen is really discerning! At the beginning, so many brothers were directly selected from Lingshui Wharf. ”

"Hey, hey!" Chen Yufeng said very complacently, "Actually, opportunities are very important to anyone. If you had picked someone else, you couldn't have gone wrong. Later, many people also came from Lingshui Wharf, and they were also the backbone of our army. The eight of them just came early, and the opportunity was good! ”

"So, this Air Force commander is Yoo Sung-huang?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Mr. Zhang has no opinion, it's decided today!" Ouyang He said, "However, it is still a bit cruel to let General Li Wei endure the pain of love." He's put a lot of effort into it. ”

"It's okay! I went to tell Li Wei about this matter, to separate the air force from his side, and if Li Wei was not reluctant to give up the air force, he would be in charge of the air force. Give the artillery, mechanized troops, and engineering troops to Liu Chenghuang, and see which one he chooses? Chen Yufeng said.

"I want to talk to Li Wei about this, it's all his heart. In my opinion, all these departments are still under the control of Li Wei, and he is the deputy commander after all. Liu Chenghuang came back to take charge of the Air Force. In the future, the Air Force will really develop to the scale of Fan Chengkun's naval army, and it will naturally be able to become independent. Otherwise, they will be completely independent all of a sudden, and they will have too few supporting things and will not be able to adapt to them. Zhang Zhimu knew that Li Wei had put too much effort into the plane, and felt that it was better to make a transition.

Ouyang He nodded and said: "It's still Mr. Zhang's comprehensive thinking, but the Air Force is where we will focus on strengthening in the future." Mr. Zhang also took more care of the plane. ”

"Hmmm! This northern expedition is another test of our machinery and equipment. However, Li Yunhe and the others sent a lot of technicians to accompany the army to provide support, so that they could also find many problems with them. It is very beneficial for future improvements. Zhang Zhimu said.

"When they came back from the Eastern Crusade, they improved a lot. These things can only be used to find problems. Chen Yufeng said definitely.

"The reliability of military equipment comes first." Zhang Zhimu said, "I was about to study with Mr. Lu and Li Yunhe to set up a mechanical and electrical products supervision and inspection institute. Several laboratories have been set up to simulate various high-temperature, extremely cold and other environments to test our equipment. There are some things that we can test at home, so don't try them in the wild. ”

"This is the best, and my methods must be slowly improved," Ouyang He asked again, "The internal reference said that they are experimenting with TV, and I don't understand what's going on?" Can Mr. Zhang talk about it? ”

"Yes! Television is a good thing," Zhang Zhimu said, "We've all seen the movie, right?" The TV is directly aimed at the target with a camera, such as at us, and then, the image of us is turned into an electrical signal, such as transmitted to my office, and then the electrical signal is turned into an image, so that Yulin can see our real-time image in the office. Television is the thing! The internal reference is that Yang Chang is conducting an experiment of radio transmission of television line signals. I took a look and it worked okay, but I suggested that they improve it and use a single sideband for transmission. They went back to make improvements. ”

"This is a good thing," Chen Yufeng said, "I heard Li Yunhe say that the power plant and the smelting yard are trying to use this thing again!" ”

"That was to use cable to transmit TV signals, and Yang Chang and they experimented with wireless TV signals. Immediately change to single-sideband transmission, and we can build a television station like a radio broadcast, and in the future, every family will have a television set, and we can watch all kinds of performances at home and watch the news be broadcast. Zhang Zhimu excitedly introduced.

"It's still called a single sideband?"

"When will we be able to build a TV station?"

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He almost asked the same question.

Zhang Zhimu said: "We play radio and TV signals normally, and the spectrum is symmetrical, in fact, as long as half of it can be recovered, the transmitted signal can be restored, that is, half of the signal can be sent over the playback side." This saves energy and reduces bandwidth for more signals. Zhang Zhimu knew that Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He didn't understand anything about bandwidth, but they could only introduce it like this.

Chen Yufeng knew that he couldn't figure out these things at once, and asked, "Tell me about the TV station?" ”

"It will be built in the second half of the year, and I will let them finish the technical changes, and I will first produce 1,000 TV sets, so that schools, nursing homes, invalides, and factories will have a few. We also need to have it in the main leaders' homes. In the future, the news can be broadcast on the spot, and the Spring Festival Gala does not necessarily have to be watched on the spot, everyone can watch it through the TV. However, it is still black and white now, and color will be developed in the future. ”

"It's already a big deal." Ouyang He said.

"Qingfengzi, what happened to the color film they developed?" Chen Yufeng asked again.

"I went to see it, Qingfengzi and they used a beamsplitter to divide the light from the movie camera into three colors: red, green, and blue, and exposed them with film, and made red, green, and blue films according to the exposure, and released them with a lighter projector, which is a color movie. Little Ruby went to watch a two-minute color movie with me, and I almost went crazy. I decided to make a color movie myself, and when the time comes, let's see how about a color movie, shall we? Zhang Zhimu explained.

"Oops! We look at these maps every day and become fools! Ouyang He said, "We don't know anything about the outside world. ”

"Hey! Without you looking at the map, they wouldn't have the environment to sit down and study these things. Without a good environment, it is impossible to produce so many research results. ”

Talking about these and talking about the future, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He felt that all the efforts they put in were worth it.

This Puzhao Temple was built with Zhang Zhimu's very careful support. Three monks came from Wutai Mountain at one time, a master with two apprentices. When they arrived at the kiln, they had to see Zhang Zhimu, which was a rare thing, so they were naturally blocked by Yang Yulin. But the three masters and apprentices came to see Zhang Zhimu every day, so Yang Yulin had no choice, so she told Zhang Zhimu about it. Zhang Zhimu also felt that these three monks were a bit excessive, and they didn't say anything big, just said that they were fateful, and they didn't want to see them. Later, if you want to see it, you might as well give some silver.

Yang Yulin invited them into the small living room, and when Zhang Zhimu entered the small living room, the three monks stood up and bowed: "Amitabha!" ”

Zhang Zhimu also replied: "Amitabha! Then he said, "Three masters, please sit down and speak!" ”

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Zhimu said: "I'm really sorry, I have too many things, so I treat the three of them slowly!" ”

"Where is the Zhang Shizhu! It's us who bothering you! The old monk said.

"Three masters, there must be something wrong with seeing me!"

"That's right, I'm a monk from Wutai Mountain! These two are my apprentices! We heard that Zhang Shizhu is kind and benevolent, and he came to turn his fortune around! Saying that, the old monk bowed his head.

"Huh! There are so few people like the old mage! Zhang Zhimu said, "May I ask how much silver does the master need?" ”

"Master Zhang, look at it, how much silver can be used to eliminate the karma of sentient beings and cross the sea of suffering for sentient beings?"

"Oh! I'm not a Bodhisattva, I don't have the mana of a Bodhisattva to cross sentient beings, and besides, the Buddha didn't cross all sentient beings! ”

"Master Zhang, from the perspective of the old monk, you are a Bodhisattva, you have crossed a lot of suffering, and you are already a great Bodhisattva!"

"Don't dare to do that! I'm just doing my part! Old mage, you still say a number, I'll see if I can do it? ”

"Huh!" The old monk smiled and said, "Master Zhang, let's see how much silver is needed for the living beings here in Duyaogang to get out of the sea of suffering?" ”

Zhang Zhimu also smiled and said, "Hehe! The people here in Yaogang should be the best in the world. After speaking, Zhang Zhimu suddenly realized, looked at the old monk and asked, "The master is here to ferry our kiln people?" ”

"The old monk doesn't have the strength of the Dharma to sentient beings, but the Dharma can cross sentient beings!" The old monk said.

"Yaogang is now a prosperous place, and these flashy things are easy for people to lose their nature. If the master is willing to preach the Dharma here, I am willing to help! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Amitabha!" The old monk said, "In this way, Zhang Shizhu is a meritorious person!" ”

"So old mage, do you have any specific ideas?"

"Let it be!"

"I don't think this is okay, I have always had the intention to build a temple in Yaogang to provide sustenance for everyone's soul. If the old mage wishes, can he preside over this matter? ”

"The old monk is willing!"

"That's great!" Zhang Zhimu said, "I'll figure out how to deal with the cost." I don't understand this Dharma, and I ask the master to bother more about building temples! ”

"The old monk has a good look, just east of your martyr's cemetery, the location of that hill, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Hmmm! Mage has good eyesight, then there it is! Zhang Zhimu said, knowing in his heart that the old monk came for this.

"Huh! Everything has its own certainty," the old monk said with a Zen wit, "just like Zhang Shizhu came to cross the world!" ”

Zhang Zhimu didn't want to say more on this topic, saying: "All religions persuade people to do good, and the truth, goodness, and beauty in the world are religions. What I can give you is some scientific knowledge, and it's true. Beauty is art. However, I know that these are all the ordinary truths of our world, and it is possible that the clearer we study the common truths, the farther away from the true truths! ”

"Zhang Shizhu is really extraordinary!" The old monk said, "The old monk is willing to work with Zhang Shizhu to build a temple for Buddhism and sentient beings." ”

"That's good! Old Master, I have you arranged a clean place to live. I'll arrange for someone to design this monastery with you. Zhang Zhimu said.

Zhang Zhimu spent a lot of money on this ** temple, and he believes that there should be a ** place in the kiln gang. I hope that this temple will bring a little cleanliness to the noisy kiln.

After more than two years of construction, the temple was completed, Emperor Chongzhen heard about it, and personally inscribed a few big characters of "Puzhao Temple" for the temple, and the temple has asked someone to engrave a plaque and hang it on the gate of the temple.

Emperor Chongzhen also took the civil and military to attend the opening ceremony of Puzhao Temple.

The scale of the Puzhao Temple in Yaogang was very large, and the radio and newspapers in Yaogang also carried out propaganda reports. Venerable Liyuan is still very influential in Buddhism, and during the consecration ceremony, many eminent monks were invited from monasteries around the country. Especially the influence of the kiln, and the fact that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to personally attend the consecration ceremony, the impact was even greater. In order to obtain an invitation to participate in the ceremony, all walks of life in Yaogang have worked hard.
