As a result of the initial smashing of the Kuomintang army's encirclement and suppression of the Soviet region in northern Shaanxi, the Central Red Army won a long period of rest and recuperation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At present, however, the tasks facing the Red Army are still very arduous, and how to consolidate and develop the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Soviet Region has become an imminent problem for the central leaders.

To this end, the Central Committee convened a number of meetings to study and resolve the issue of developing the Soviet areas, and finally the Central Committee first set up the Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

At the same time, the central authorities also set up the Economic Development Committee of the Northwest Soviet Region, with Deputy Commander Zhou as chairman of the Economic Development Committee, and Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, and other central leading comrades as deputy directors of the committee.

Because of Zhang Cheng's outstanding attainments as a military commander and several fruitful suggestions for the development of production at the Central Committee, he was fortunate to become a member of the two committees at the same time, and his status in the party was further enhanced.

Subsequently, in accordance with Zhang Cheng's opinion, the central authorities also established the Northwest People's Bank, with Comrade Chen Yun serving as president of the Northwest People's Bank and Zhang Cheng serving as the chief adviser of the Northwest People's Bank to provide consultation for the preparation of the Northwest People's Bank.

Immediately after that, the Central Committee immediately called on all units of the whole party, the whole army, and all units to use all their free time to carry out a campaign for the great development of production and to build farms and breeding farms on a large scale.

To this end, the commander-in-chief also personally wrote the inscription for the large-scale development of production, "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." Eight big characters.

Several major measures successively implemented by the CPC Central Committee have greatly promoted the rapid development of production and economy in the Soviet region of northern Shaanxi and laid a solid economic foundation for the arduous war of resistance behind enemy lines in the future.

In the increasingly arduous years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that followed, our party and our army had a large self-sufficient rear area, and all the soldiers and civilians in the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines led by our party passed through difficulties one after another.

In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the central authorities' instructions on "self-reliance," Zhang Cheng and his political commissar held a work conference in Yulin for cadres at and above the regimental level.

At the meeting, the political commissar conveyed the important instructions of the central authorities on the large-scale production development movement, made an ideological mobilization report, and called on the officers and men of the entire column to take action and plunge into the large-scale production movement.

Zhang Cheng made specific arrangements for the relevant work: The meeting decided to transfer some cadres and fighters with a relatively high level of education from the army to cooperate with the task forces sent by the central authorities to various localities to assist local governments in carrying out their work, and at the same time to decentralize the relatively old demobilized personnel in the army to work in local governments.

Zhang Cheng then called on all units in the whole column to devote themselves to the three main tasks of military training, cultural study, and production development.

Finally, the members of the party committee of the column also carried out the division of labor: Feng Wenbin, director of the Political Department, was responsible for cooperating with the local government construction and the campaign to fight local tyrants and divide the land; Chief of Staff Zhang Fengming is responsible for military training and commanding troops to undertake the task of suppressing bandits; The political commissar is responsible for the production and cultural learning of the troops; Zhang Cheng was responsible for grasping the general situation and comprehensively leading and promoting the work of the column.

Zhang Cheng said that he was to be responsible for all the work of the general and vertical work, but in fact, the members of the party committee of the column were responsible for all the work very stable, and there was no need for Zhang Cheng to give any special instructions.

However, although Zhang Cheng did not meddle in the work of the column, he himself was not idle, but began to prepare for the construction of the Shaozong Arsenal and the research and production of military weapons.

Because Zhang Cheng had been in exile with the Central Red Army before, there was no stable environment for him to develop the military industry. Now that we finally have a stable base area, it is time to vigorously carry out military work.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng asked Gao Yuan, the former director of the Red Army's Northern Fujian Arsenal, to discuss and study, formulate a plan for the construction of the arsenal, and urge them to complete and put into operation as soon as possible.

In the first half of 1934, the Northern Fujian Arsenal entered its heyday, with more than 300 people, capable of manufacturing rifles, submachine guns, sabers and bayonets, overhauling mortar shells, and manufacturing various spare parts and repair tools.

At that time, the highest output was able to produce more than 1,000 guns of various kinds, more than 10,000 bombs and mines, more than 3,000 grenades, and 150,000 rounds of guns and ammunition per month, ensuring the needs of the development of armed struggle in the northern Fujian Soviet region.

This arsenal was probably better than all the other arsenals of the Red Army at the same time combined, capable of making rifles, submachine guns, bullets, grenades, and mines, and the output was also considerable, and the location was relatively hidden, and it continued to produce until the Long March.

Zhang Cheng had long been concerned about this arsenal, and when the Red Army began the Long March in October 1934, Zhang Cheng took a lot of effort to mobilize the factory director Gao Yuan and more than a dozen technical backbones to transfer with the Young Communist Division.

During the Long March, no matter how great the dangers and obstacles the troops faced, Zhang Cheng personally explained that the special operations brigade must protect the personal safety of the director of the plateau factory and more than a dozen technical backbones.

Now that Zhangcheng's troops have a solid base and a stable environment, it is time for them to show their skills on the plateau.

However, to Zhang Cheng's great surprise, although Jing Yuexiu was a brutal and dictatorial person, like Yan Laoxi, this person was really a good farmer, leaving Zhang Cheng with a very rich family foundation, he vigorously supported industry and commerce, and opened many factories, one of which was the arsenal.

It turned out that during Jing Yuexiu's rule in Yulin, in order to maintain his rule, he tried his best to unite and win over the local forces in northern Shaanxi, and established many factories and schools in Yulin.

Suddenly discovering that Yulin has a strong industrial foundation, Zhang Cheng was extremely excited. He is really grateful to Jing Yuexiu, who seems to believe in the principle of saving the country through industry, and single-handedly built the Yulin industrial system.

It is a pity that many factories have stopped working after Jing Yuexiu fled to Mongolia, and Zhang Cheng, who is a traverser, knows that industry is the country in this era, and naturally will not let these factories be abandoned, so he found Comrade He Wenchang, who is currently in charge of the work of the Yulin government.

Zhang Cheng pointed to the factories that had been suspended, and he said to He Wenchang beside him: "Old He, these factories are too important to us, especially the Yulin Arsenal, which is extremely important to the development of our army's military industry. Your Yulin government must mobilize manpower to call the factory workers back to work. ”

As the head of the Yulin government, He Wenchang naturally knew the importance of these factories to the Red Army, which was currently in great distress, and he said with a straight face: "Commander Zhang, please rest assured! The next priority for the Yulin government is to get these factories back in production as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and then asked, "Are there any other difficulties in your government work?" ”

He Wenchang thought for a while, and then said: "Because the first division launched a surprise attack very quickly, Jing Yuexiu did not have time to transfer assets, so our Yulin government also made a lot of money.

However, the Kuomintang Chang Kaishen blockaded our Soviet base areas, so that we could not buy raw materials even if we had money, and without raw materials, even if the factories were put into operation, there was no guarantee of output. ”

Faced with the problem of raw materials, Zhang Cheng does not have a very good way, after all, even if Zhang Cheng knows which places have mineral resources, it will take a long time to mine them, and it is really far from being able to solve the fire.

However, he suddenly had an idea, remembering the businessman Li Jinfeng he met in Luzhou, maybe Jinfeng Commercial Bank could solve this problem, and when he thought of it, he did it, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered someone to contact Li Jinfeng.
