Chapter 662: The Difference Between Xikang and St. Lucas

Wang Yongan also carefully arranged the 2,000 soldiers brought by Li Weiru and others to fight against Yuan, and the wounded soldiers, the elderly, and the infirm were all discharged, and the Xikang Provincial Government arranged for work. Because these soldiers participated in the fight against the Yuan army, they will face very great danger after returning to Chongqing, and may even be hunted down, so the vast majority of retired soldiers have chosen to stay in Xikang Province to live, only a few soldiers miss their families and return to their hometown in eastern Sichuan regardless of the danger, but soon they returned to Xikang, and at the same time brought back dozens of relatives - after the Guizhou army occupied Chongqing, they launched a retaliatory action against the Yuan army, and slaughtered a large number of officers and soldiers of the Yuan army.

Later, the Sichuan army arrived in Chongqing, and it was a happy event to join the Guizhou army in victory, but immediately some people asked the Sichuan army for help, and sued the Guizhou army for killing the Sichuan people and looting the people's property, which led to the contradiction between the Sichuan and Guizhou armies, and even almost started. Although the people are not gentlemen, they also know the truth that gentlemen do not stand under the wall, and many of the original family members of Yuan Jun have come to live in Xikang Province, which is relatively safe, after all, no one dares to invade here, and there will be no danger of war - the name of Yunshuai Wang Yongan has long been known to everyone, and the small warlords of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces will go to Xikang to find nothing to do when they are full. Don't talk about it far, let's just say that it's close, even the overseer Cai Yi of the famous Yunnan Province had to bow his head to Yunshuai Wang Yongan, shot the three ruffians of the ** Yi girl, and apologized to the Yi people in Daliang Mountain.

After the selection was completed, 1,200 people remained in the remaining part of Yuan's army, of which 1,000 were assigned to the Lhasa garrison to replace some soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 17th Brigade, and the remaining 200 were arranged into various units. In fact, when selecting soldiers, Wang Yongan found many famous generals of the Sichuan army in later generations, such as the one-eyed marshal.

Wang Yongan looked at the list of officers, and he didn't know if their history would change because of him, let alone what he meant to history. Wang Yongan always felt that he could change history, but every time he had to be pushed forward by the tide of history, which made him feel a sense of powerlessness, so far the only thing he could change history was to grab a piece of land called San Lucas in Mexico, and establish the San Lucaste district, which became an independent area for overseas Chinese. Maybe people at this time didn't realize the significance of doing this, but a hundred years later, when future generations look at history, they will know how much Wang Yongan has made.

When it comes to San Lucas, I have to admit that the current San Lucas is completely different from the San Lucas three years ago, not only because of the particularity of San Lucas, but also because of the great achievements of San Lucas in manufacturing, led by the San Lucas Arsenal. The San Lucas Arsenal has sold all kinds of imitation rifles to the European and South American continents, and some Latin countries do not even use the arms of their overlord Spain because the rifles produced by San Lucas are cheap, strong and durable.

This involves a very important reason, although Latin American countries are independent from Spain and Portugal, but they are still inextricably linked, most of the light weapons of Latin American countries are purchased from Spain or from the United States, and the reason why they are purchased from the United States is because Spain's arsenal production capacity is limited, so Spain has set the price of weapons very high. Latin American countries were previously able to buy some weapons from the United States, but with the US government's policy of "closing the country to the outside world", the US government has stopped selling weapons to foreign countries on a large scale.

And because of the terms of the purchase of weapons parts reached between the San Lucas Arsenal and Springfield (Springfield Arsenal) in the United States, American businessmen saw another way to sell weapons, that is, to sell weapon parts in the form of industrial parts to the San Lucas Arsenal, and then the San Lucas Arsenal assembled them into weapons and sold them to various countries. During these three years, the San Lucas Arsenal became the largest munitions assembly plant in the Americas, from the original rifles and pistols to today's infantry guns, mortars and howitzers.

Although the San Lucas Arsenal has no production capacity for the time being, the assembly business has already made them a lot of money, and a large number of Chinese have become workers in the San Lucaste district through immigration, enjoying the high quality of life abroad. Hardly any Chinese who come to San Lucas will want to return to live in China, after all, it is safe, rich, respected, free education, especially the status of Chinese even exceeds that of foreigners, and the ghost is willing to go. (It was precisely because of the large number of Chinese immigrants and the poor grain harvest in Mexico that year led to a famine in San Lucas at the beginning of the year, and it happened that the money of the San Lucaste government was pressed in the futures, and had to borrow 10 million US dollars from Wang Yongan to turn around, which was the way through.) )

Compared with St. Lucas, Xikang Province seems to have no advantages except for security, trade is not good, manufacturing is not good, education is low, and there is almost nothing that can be done - by the way, the army is so powerful that the Xizang rebels cried and cried their mother, drove the British back to India, and killed more than 800 Indian soldiers who crossed the border to support the rebels without authorization.

Wang Yongan hopes that more people will immigrate to Xikang Province, but the reality is that except for a few families of Yuan Jun, even the people of Sichuan Province are reluctant to leave their homeland. People say that Sichuan Province is a province with a large population, and the population of Sichuan Province has reached 43 million at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Republic of China, because the Republic of China no longer set up a per capita tax, the population of Sichuan Province exploded to 78.7 million in the 1914 population statistics.

"Alas...... Why didn't they come to Xikang? Wang Yongan was worried.

Feng Heng said with a smile: "What's so good about Xikang, in addition to safety and life can be guaranteed, a place where there are many poor mountains and bad waters." ”

"Safety, by the way, if Sichuan is not safe, won't the people come to us?" As soon as Wang Yongan's eyes rolled, the bad water overflowed.

Feng Heng couldn't help but laugh and said: "I said handsome, what do you mean is that we send soldiers to pretend to be bandits and make trouble in Sichuan, just like what we did in Jiangbei during the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "This time is also that time, this time we don't have to be so troublesome, we don't need to do it ourselves, do you know how many people disagreed after Hu Jingyi served as the overseer of Sichuan Province?" It can be said that every Sichuan warlord wants to be the governor of Sichuan, we can secretly support them and let them kill each other, on the one hand, it weakens the power of the Sichuan army, on the other hand, it makes the Sichuan army no longer united, which is conducive to our attack on Sichuan, and finally it makes the Sichuan people insecure, and the people have to flee to Xikang to live, killing three birds with one stone, what do you think? ”

Feng Heng opened his mouth wide, and only said half-loudly: "I think this is too lacking in morality." ”

Wang Yongan laughed, he just advanced the time of the Sichuan warlord melee, even if he didn't have himself, the Sichuan warlord melee would have happened as scheduled, and caused the Sichuan people to lose 10 million in 20 years.
