On October 11, after the Wuchang revolutionaries occupied the whole city of Wuchang, the revolutionaries in Hanyang and Hankou were moved by the wind and recovered Hanyang and Hankou on the night of the 11th and the 12th respectively. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After the rebel army took control of the three towns of Wuhan, the Hubei military government was established, and Li Yuanhong was elected as the governor and changed the name of the country to the Republic of China.

Unlike the Hubei Revolutionary Party, the Communist Progressive Party practiced a political system in Yunnan that separated the military from the government. In Kunming, after two days of preparations, the Yunnan Provincial People's Government with Wang Zhengya as governor was officially announced.

Although the provincial government has just been established, there are many busy tasks. However, the first conference on Yunnan's economic construction was held very quickly. The meeting was presided over by Xiao Mubai and attended by Xiong Fanyu, secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Progressive Party, Wang Zhengya, the newly appointed governor, and a series of officials at all levels of the new government and some well-known squires.

"On the night of October 10, our Communist Progressive Party launched an anti-Qing uprising in Yunnan and successfully seized power. Many people think that after the revolution is successful, the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and the great powers will respect our sovereignty. But what I want to say is that there is no free lunch in the world, if you have this kind of thinking, you will not be able to wait for your expectation that the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and the words "the country will be rich and the people strong" will be a joke. What sounded in the conference room was Xiao Mubai's impassioned statement.

Xiao Mubai's words, Wang Zhengya, who listened to it, also nodded again and again, which is precisely because Wang Zhengya saw that Xiao Mubai was not the kind of person who agreed to the post of Yunnan Provincial Governor. Like those revolutionary parties in the past, when they opened their mouths to make revolutions and closed their mouths about revolution, if you ask them how to revolutionize, they will only talk about overthrowing the Manchus, and then you ask them what about after they overthrew the Manchus? They will definitely say that there is no then, and then the country will be rich and the people will be strong. Saying and doing are two different things. Because of this, although Wang Zhengya sympathized with the revolutionary party, she did not join it.

"How can the real country be rich and the people strong? We can't wait, we have to build little by little, accumulate little by little. The great powers are stronger than us, but that is because they have been precipitated by hundreds of years of industrial construction and accumulation. Now, let's work hard and catch up, even if we are now 50 years behind, 100 years behind, we can still catch up year after year! I believe that there will come a time when we will catch up with the great powers. ”

As soon as Xiao Mubai's words fell, warm applause rang out instantly. Obviously, Xiao Mubai's passionate speech touched the hearts of many people present.

"Our Yunnan is located in a low-latitude plateau, with a special geographical location and complex topography. Mineral resources are not only abundant, but also varied, coupled with the fact that most areas of the province are warm in winter and cool in summer, with four seasons like spring and abundant precipitation. All these have created convenient conditions for the development of industry and agriculture. Therefore, as long as all of you here work together, within two years, a new Yunnan will certainly be built. As soon as Xiao Mubai's words fell, bursts of applause came.

"As a brick thrower, my words have been finished, and the next focus is on Governor Wang, and he will coordinate the direction of the main economic construction projects in Yunnan Province in the future." Xiao Mubai pressed his hand, and waited for the applause to stop.

Wang Zhengya is very grateful to Xiao Mubai for giving him the opportunity to establish his prestige as the new governor. After clearing his throat, he pressed the document Xiao Mubai gave him and said:

"After careful overall planning, the construction of our province should first start from the traffic, at present there are two railways in our province such as Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and Chengdu-Kunming Railway, so in the future the transportation construction will be based on highways, and the provincial government will decide to set up a transportation department, which is specifically responsible for the construction of highways in the province. The second is education, and the Department of Education will be established to be responsible for the education of the province. In the future, nine-year compulsory education will be adopted in the province, a number of new-style middle schools and primary schools will be established in each county, and three universities will be planned, including Yunnan University, Yunnan Normal University, and Kunming Medical University. ”

Hearing Wang Zhengya's words, I quickly remembered a voice of discussion, if it was other revolutionary parties, maybe they would doubt the truth of these words, you must know that those revolutionary parties are full of empty cannons, and they will say whatever they want. But Xiao Mubai is obviously not such a person, plus Zhao Mingchuan who was sitting next to him, he was the one who took out tens of millions to repair the railway without blinking an eye. Therefore, they have no doubt about the truth or falsity of what Wang Zhengya said, they are only shocked by the Communist Party's generosity, after all, since ancient times, it has cost the most money to build roads and run education.

However, most of the people here are from Yunnan, and they support things like this that obviously benefit Sangzi.

"As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and for thousands of years, the problem of eating for the Chinese people has never been truly solved. But now, the provincial government is confident and more capable of basically solving the problem of food and clothing in our province within two years. ”

Wang Zhengya's words reached everyone's ears, and the following immediately exploded like a nest, at this time, someone just stood up and pointed at Wang Zhengya's nose and said loudly: Let go of your mother's fart. It's no wonder that they didn't believe it, he didn't believe it when Xiao Mubai said this to Wang Zhengya the night before, and he also wanted to spit on Xiao Mubai's face. I thought to myself: This revolutionary party is just unreliable, and dare to say such big things? But when Xiao Mubai pointed to the data of 400 kilograms per mu and took Guangnan as an example, Wang Zhengya was stunned, and he had also heard about Guangnan in the past two years, but at that time it was just used as a joke after dinner. Now it seems that the rumors are not groundless!

Hearing the following doubts, Wang Zhengya was not angry, patted the table, and waited until the noise calmed down before continuing: "I know that you don't believe what I just said, to tell you the truth, I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the facts have to make me believe." Everyone has heard about Quang Nam, right? Perhaps everyone has always thought it was a rumor, and it was a false rumor. However, I will tell you that it is true, and all of this is derived from a new type of rice, which, according to reliable information, can reach more than 400 kilograms per mu. ”

As soon as Wang Zhengya's words fell, a louder noise sounded below. They were really shocked by these words, the yield per mu is 400 kilograms, or more, this is not 400 catties, you must know that the yield per mu of the best high-quality fertile land is only about 300 catties. They had heard more or less about Quang Nam in the past two years, but most of them scoffed at it at the beginning, and they didn't expect it to be true. But then after coming back to their senses, everyone's face showed a look of surprise, to know that if you can solve the food and clothing of the people in the province, then this credit is great, and it can definitely go down in history. People like them have no shortage of fame, fortune and status in society, but if they can be recorded in history, it is a different matter. Thinking of this, one by one's complexion began to turn rosy.

"Therefore, the provincial government will set up an agricultural department to be responsible for the agricultural affairs of the province and promote the cultivation of new rice in the province." Then Wang Zhengya said: "The last is industrial construction, speaking of this, I have to say that many people feel sad, not to mention Yunnan, just to say that in the whole country, a huge China, a slightly large-scale factory can be said to be only a handful." However, now, the history of no heavy industry in our province is about to be completely changed, and in another month, the steel base in Panzhihua will be officially put into operation, with an annual output of 3 million tons of steel. And you must know that in the eyes of foreign powers, the steel industry is the standard for measuring the economic strength of a country. In the future, the provincial government will focus on planning and building a series of heavy industry projects, including steel plants, chemical plants, automobile plants, power plants, etc., as well as corresponding light industries, which will be under the responsibility of the industrial construction committee established by the provincial government. ”

After Wang Zhengya's speech ended, officials at all levels and gentry present opened their mouths to offer suggestions and suggestions to contribute their own strength to the construction of new Yunnan.

Just after the conclusion of the economic construction conference in Yunnan and the ensuing vigorous economic construction, the three towns of Wuhan, thousands of miles away, were a different scene.

With the arrival of troops led by Xia Zhankui of the Yuezhou Patrol Battalion in Hunan and Zhang Xiyuan of the Henan Army Mixed Association to Liujiamiao in Hankou, a large army gathered for a time, and the clouds of war shrouded the sky over the three towns of Wuhan.
