Section 3: Adjustments (3)
The relationship between Yunnan Longyun and the central government is very delicate, he relies on the central government and defends against it, and he supports the central government in several civil wars, but after the central army pursues the Red Army into Guizhou, Yunnan, he is obviously on guard against the central army, Xue Yue's troops cannot enter Kunming at all, and the Yunnan army strictly guards Kunming and launches defensive deployment against the central army. More important and taboo for Chiang Kai-shek was fiat currency, and Yunnan was one of the three major provinces that insisted on continuing to issue currency.
It is based on these factors that the Southwest Development Team was very careful in its actions in Panzhihua, and when Li Anding passed, Zhuang Jihua clearly told him that he must be careful in designing things in Yunnan. The construction of the bridge on the Jinsha River had to communicate with the Yunnan side in advance, but fortunately the local magistrate supported it, while the Kunming side was skeptical.
Li Anding's telegram also revealed another strange information, Liu Wenhui intervened in the Yi people's grievance family, which is very interesting, why did he do this? With Liu Wenhui's strength, he is not Long Yun's opponent at all, his army is now only 20,000 people, and Long Yun only has 50,000 people in the 60th Army of the Dian Army, and the difference in strength between the two is huge.
"Touching the stone with an egg," Du Yuming said with a smile: "Liu Wenhui doesn't want to stretch out his hand to Yunnan, right?" ”
"We don't care where we go," Zhuang Jihua said categorically: "Our current task is the development of the southwest, and we don't care about the grievances between local forces, and we can't manage them, as long as it doesn't involve our work, don't interfere, telegraph to Li Anding, strengthen surveillance, and don't allow direct intervention." ”
Du Yuming thought about it and proposed: "It's better to send some more guards to Panzhihua to avoid accidents." ”
Zhuang Jihua hesitated, his eyes looked at Li Zhilong and serious, Li Zhilong nodded in support: "I think it's okay, Panzhihua is too far away from us, if something really happens, it will be too late for us to reinforce it." ”
Zheng then agreed: "I think it's okay, the situation over there is weird, and now Panzhihua's work is not only to build a steel city, but also to open up the Yunnan-Burma Road, and it will definitely have to deal with Yunnan in the future, which is very difficult in itself, and the local situation is complicated, and the number of guards is still better." ”
Zhuang Jihua nodded after thinking about it: "Okay, that's it, transfer a regiment over, or under the full command of An Ding, the specific troops, let Wang Guobin's detachment go." ”
Wang Guobin was the deputy head of the southern part of the former Hu Zong, and after being dug up by Zhuang Jihua, he was entrusted with the position of detachment leader equivalent to the head of the regiment, and he was Zhuang Jihua's descendant.
After talking about the new situation in Panzhihua, Zhuang Jihua brought the topic back to work adjustment: "In Tian, you have to draw up a work adjustment plan within three days, including funds and personnel, and you have to set off to Wuhan to find a place to establish a secret ammunition depot around Wuhan." ”
"Guangting, you are drawing up a plan to expand the army, the Spring Army has reorganized 200,000 people, we are forming 100,000, and after the Anti-Japanese War begins, Sichuan will be able to send 300,000 troops. Teng Jie, you go to Chengdu and find Feng Yi and ask him to immediately organize people to review the reserve and reduce rent and interest. Mr. Yan, please go to Nanjing to report to the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and at the same time cooperate with the Air Force to select the addresses of radar stations around Nanjing, so as to strengthen the air defense security in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. ”
Three days later, Li Zhilong handed in the plan, and the comprehensive adjustment was immediately launched, the construction of the tank factory was suspended, but the construction of the automobile factory was accelerated, and the two artillery factories that were originally planned to be built became four, and the bullet factories were also changed from three to five, and the relevant upstream factories were also immediately expanded. The training of various technicians has been expanded.
The change of plan also involves the United States, Wang Zhujie, who controls Boeing, requires him to temporarily suspend the development of strategic bombers and instead study fighter aircraft, but Wang Zhu will object, he proposes that Boeing is good at large aircraft, and combat is not its strength, and it is recommended to continue to look like strategic bombers, as a workaround, it is proposed to acquire North American Airlines, North American Airlines' current product is a trainer aircraft and he claimed in the report that he learned from the engineers of North American Aviation that their company is developing a new fighter jet, But they were troubled by funds, the progress was very slow, and now they were seeking financial support everywhere, Zhuang Jihua immediately instructed Wang Zhu to contact North American Airlines after receiving the report, and proposed to them to buy, and the required funds were contacted by Mr. Mei; Mr. Mei also received a request to train pilots and pilots.
The large-scale adjustment brought about a new round of expansion of Chongqing's industrial construction, the implementation of three years of free compulsory education began to show its power, a small number of elites were promoted to senior high schools, a group of graduates who had received nine years of compulsory education went into society, they entered various professional schools, began to learn specific work skills, and more graduates went directly to the factory, these knowledgeable young people mastered the ability to master technology far more than those illiterate rural youth.
Chongqing's industrial expansion not only quickly absorbed the local idle labor, but also attracted a small number of students from Guizhou and Yunnan. There are two passages from Yunnan to Yucheng, through Guiyang Zunyi Qijiang to Yucheng, this road is the closest; The other way is to cross the Jinsha River, pass through Panzhihua and Xichang to Chengdu or Luzhou, and then turn to Yucheng.
The two lines that entered Yucheng were cut off due to the war in the past few months, and the Panzhihua line was blocked by the exchange of fire between the Dian army and the 24th Army due to the large-scale armed fighting between his own family and the Jin family; The Guizhou line was cut much earlier.
After the Central Red Army left, Chiang Kai-shek sent more than 100 regiments to besiege the Xiangxi base area under the command of Gu Zhutong, and in November He Long led his troops to break through and enter the western part of Guizhou. He Long saw that he could not go north, and immediately led his troops to the south, turning to Yunnan, and the tactics he adopted were almost exactly the same as those of the first army, first threatening Kunming to mobilize the Yunnan army, and Long Yun was very cooperative to transfer the troops back to defend Kunming and let go of northern Yunnan.
By March, He Long led his troops to cross the Jinsha River from western Yunnan, then crossed the snow-capped mountains, stubbornly advanced northward, and joined the Red Fourth Side in physical and chemical rendezvous in early June.
So many Yunnan students after hearing the news of the war in Guizhou, when they changed to Panzhihua, they were blocked by the war here, and they had to go back to Guiyang instead, so they were delayed in time, but when they arrived in Yucheng, the large-scale recruitment had ended, and the examinations of various schools were over. The "Yuzhou Evening News" took the lead in reporting their situation, and then the "Yucheng Daily" and the "Central Daily" also reported on their affairs, arousing bursts of sympathy from the society.
In view of this, Zhuang Jihua and Yang Yongtai decided to conduct a unified examination after discussion, recruit a group of outstanding students to enter the school, and the rest also enter the factory, this decision made the students of Yunnan and Guizhou very grateful, and also won the support of all walks of life.
Zhuang Jihua is not very worried about the Panzhihua matter, he thinks that as long as he does not get involved, but the vendetta of the Yi people in the Panzhihua area has become more and more intense, and his own family and the Lu family have joined forces with the Yi people in the Sichuan region to attack the Jin family in Yunnan, and the Jin family is not supported, and they ask for help from the Yi people in the Yunnan area, especially Long Yun.
Long Yun was in a hurry with the affairs of the Red Army at that time, and he couldn't spare his hand to intervene, so he had to send a telegram to Liu Wenhui asking him to stop his own behavior, but Liu Wenhui made a strange move here, he secretly ordered Xu Ying and Deng Xiuting to send troops to secretly help his family.
The coalition army with Liu Wenhui's secret help became more and more fierce, the Jin family was defeated in successive battles, a son and a brother of the Jin family Tusi were killed in battle, and the Jin family's coalition army could not hold on, and began to persuade Lu to retreat.
Seeing that victory was about to come, the Red Army and the Central Army left Yunnan at the same time, and Long Yun freed his hand.
As soon as Long Yun freed his hand, he ordered Sun Du to return to northern Yunnan with his troops, restore social order in northern Yunnan, and stop the vendetta of the Yi people. Sun Du led 30,000 troops back to northern Yunnan, which was now under the control of his own coalition army, and Deng Xiuting's ministry also participated as a branch of the Yi family.
Sun Du summoned his family to make peace with the Jin family in Guanjiadu, outside the county seat of Luquan County, but the two families were already as deep as the sea and could not sit together at all. Now the situation is completely out of control.
After escaping from the beginning of his studies, he immediately convened a meeting of the leaders of the 120 Yi families in Daliang Mountain, and everyone made a bloody alliance and announced that they would not destroy the Jin family and vow not to give up; The Jin family also summoned 64 branch leaders of the Yi people in northern Yunnan, and they still made an alliance with blood, announcing that they must repay their blood debts.
Then in the northwest of Luquan Niuhuiling battle, both sides were killed and wounded, Deng Xiuting's Yi troops were stronger than Tusi's family, they attacked the Jin family's village, seeing that the Jin family's catastrophe was in front of them, Sun Du's troops appeared, they launched an attack on the coalition army from the flank, after the hard battle, their own coalition army was exhausted, and collapsed at the touch, the Jin family took the opportunity to counterattack, their own coalition army scattered and fled, more than 20 heads of the size were captured, the Jin family beheaded them all in order to demonstrate.
Jin guy and Sun Du counterattacked, their own family is facing a desperate situation, Xu Ying's troops suddenly killed, they rushed out of a bloody road, rescued most of their own troops, and then Liu Yuantang's troops also appeared in Luquan, he commanded two brigades to capture Luquan County in one fell swoop, Sun Du was shocked when he heard this, and immediately retreated.
The evolution of the situation in Panzhihua made Zhuang Jihua feel bad, the things in it were too vague, it seemed that Long Yun and Liu Wenhui had a point, but if you think about it carefully, there is no definite reason.
"Could it be that Liu Wenhui wants to develop in Yunnan?" Li Zhilong asked in confusion.
"Then Long Yun won't eat him yet." Zhuang Jihua glanced at him.
"And what is he doing here?" Li Zhilong said a little angrily: "Supporting your own family can also be explained, why do you want to attack Luquan?" ”
