Just when Mu Han, Zhou Da and others were happy with the appointment of the Nationalist Central Government, an accident occurred in the border areas of Gansu and Ningbo. This article was published by www. lχs520。 com debut

Lei Tian and Ma Dong, who had nothing to gain in the Lei Ma Incident, fled to Ning Province with their subordinates, and Ma Hongkui certainly did not refuse the surrender of this team. In the past, they were connected to each other, but now in the face of the sudden rise of the Dragon Guard forces, they are temporarily hugging each other.

And in the face of the ever-changing Gan Province and Sui Province, they are even more blushing. In particular, a series of preferential policies for recruitment, investment, and immigration in Gan and Sui provinces have caused ordinary people and businessmen to flee in large numbers under high pressure and extremely cruel exploitation. This made Ma Hongkui, the supreme ruler of Ning Province, even more angry.

"For several days in a row, small bandits often massacred and looted merchants and migrants on their way to the province in the Ninggan border area. According to intelligence, these horse bandits are all supported by Ningma, which has brought great security risks to our development. Zhou Da, who is already the chairman of a provincial government, still respectfully reports to Mu Han on various tasks as before.

Mu Hanjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Since some people are red-eyed, they are in a hurry to jump out and cause trouble." It has to be banged, beaten. Although we are now going all out to carry out construction, we cannot allow anyone to spread wildness on our heads. Uncle Zhou, you are in charge of the overall situation in Lancheng, and I will personally investigate and then make a calculation. ”

"It's the commander-in-chief!"

In the Ninggan border area, from time to time, poor people move their families to travel.

Liu Laohan is an authentic farmer in Ning Province, and his ancestors have been digging in the fields for generations in this barren and desolate land. Originally, relying on the hard work of a family of eight, he could barely fill his stomach in a good year. But recently, Ma Dashuai began to increase the rent in order to buy guns and guns, not only that, but the food and all valuable things at home were robbed, which made the already difficult life really unbearable.

At the beginning of spring, the family lives every day on the newly grown leaves, wild vegetables, and a little bit of grain dug out of the vole hole, and boiled into a gruel with visible human figures. After eating all the leaves, wild vegetables, grass roots, and seeds, his family, like ordinary people, began to eat the bones of animals in the desert. All kinds of bones in the desert become smooth and white by the wind and rain, everyone first put the bones they picked up in the pot to cook soup and drink, and when they really can't boil anything, they put the white bone sticks on the fire and roast, and wait for a layer of small bubbles to burst on the surface, and then scrape the bubbles off with tiles, and lick the scraped powder with their tongues. But how many bones can there be scattered in the desert! Within a few days, Liu Laohan's family was completely cut off. The whole family could only drink some water every day, tighten their belts, and then huddle motionless at home, trying to maintain their physical functions.

Just when everyone was desperate, there was a caravan of merchants and horses who used to beg for water and drink, which brought them good news. Recently, Gan Province is undergoing large-scale development, and as long as people arrive in Gan Province, each person can get 20 acres of wasteland. The government is also responsible for the distribution of seeds and farming implements, and there is no tax on the grain that has been cleared for the first two years, and only 20 percent of the grain tax after that.

Everyone saw great hope in the incomparably desperate situation, and they all cheered up and began to move their families to Gan Province. With the support of his sons, Liu Laohan shook his body and trekked towards Gan Province step by step. It's just that they need to pause for a few seconds with each step to build up their balance before stepping out with the other foot. At the end of the day, you can't go far. But after all, there is a little bit of hope there. Everyone is still gritting their teeth and insisting. Along the way, I don't know how many people fell to the ground when their bodies were crooked, and they never got up again. At the same time, they were subjected to endless exploitation and expulsion by horse bandits and ruffians. The migrating populations were completely overshadowed by the shadow of death. Such scenes are played out from time to time in Ning Province.

On this day, Liu Laohan's family finally arrived at the border of Gansu Province, but a flying disaster made him completely lose hope of life. It turned out that the brutal Ningma finally found that there were so many people migrating within his territory that he could not recruit soldiers at all. So he sent elite cavalry to the border area and began to capture strong men.

Liu Laohan's six sons were originally tall and big, although they are now hungry, but after all, their bodies are there. So at a glance, he was discovered by the Ningma army who came to arrest Ding, and after some tearing and fighting, he was angry and ruined the Ningma officer and ordered to shoot. Of Liu Laohan's six sons, three were killed, three were seriously injured, and they didn't live long. Looking at the body of his son who fell to the ground, Liu Laohan's eyes, which were already distracted, intuitively turned to the ground in a whirlwind.

The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed Mu Han and his party, who were rushing to the border. So Mu Han hurriedly waved his horsewhip and galloped all the way.

Looking at the scrawny and distracted figures in front of him, Mu Han finally experienced the misery at the bottom of this world. As he felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier, a boundless anger surged in his heart.

"Zhou Shun, immediately sent a telegram to Huang Qiwei, the commander of the armored regiment of the Fifth Division of the Dragon Army, stationed in Huaishuo, and asked him to immediately dispatch all tanks and armored fighting vehicles with sufficient ammunition to attack all important places in Ning Province from Suiyuan, and at the same time telegraphed the troops of Gan Province, leaving half of the men and horses to garrison all places, and the rest of the troops immediately attacked Ning Province from Gan Province. Remember to be quick. There must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes!"

For a time, the land given by Ning Province was full of artillery smoke and gunfire.

More than 10,000 Longwei troops who launched an attack from Gan Province, under the guidance of the special combat team, almost bloodlessly attacked Mingsha, Feng'an, Zhongwei, Lingwu, and Yongning. Many of the Ningma troops had not yet built fortifications, and they were bombarded by super artillery fire and could not find the north.

The armored regiment of the Dragon Guard Army, which launched an attack from Suiyuan, was violently impacted by the torrent of steel composed of more than 300 tanks and more than 200 combat vehicles, and the Ningma Army was even more about to collapse. The cavalry charge that the Ningma Army was proud of, under the super firepower of the steel beasts, was simply a moving live target. Within two days, Miaotai, Taole, Dongsha, Pingluo and other places in northern Ning Province were captured by the Longwei army.

In fact, this is destined to be a one-sided battle. The Ningma army started with cavalry. The cavalry is characterized by being longer than the offensive. Used to defend, he lost three points before fighting. The weapons and equipment of the Ningma Army and the quality of individual soldiers could not be compared with the Long Wei Army. Under the attack of the Longwei army from the north and south, the Ningma army collapsed within two days. Ma Hongkui and other high-ranking officials of Ganning Province fled in embarrassment with more than 100 cronies in the melee, and they did not understand why they had provoked a frenzied attack by the forces of Sui and Gansu provinces.

Of course, the war situation in Ning Province could not be concealed from Lao Jiang's ears and eyes. Mu Han found an excuse that was not an excuse, and after coordinating a large amount of "American aid" and attaching a division of weapons and equipment, Lao Chiang turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the facts. With a stroke of the pen, he gave Mu Han the title of Northwest Security Commander and the number of a division in Ning Province, anyway, this is not his own territory, and all military salaries, weapons and equipment do not need to be allocated by the central government. His main focus is still on encircling and suppressing the SPD, and as long as the rest of the country obeys the orders of the Nationalist Government, Lao Chiang will not be able to control so much about who actually rules.

Mu Han, who had another province, did not have blind joy. The mess left by Ma Hongkui is really not what it looks like. When Long Weijun took over Ning Province, the population of the province was less than 500,000, almost all of them were refugees, the fiscal revenue was zero, and the industrial base was not at all.

But Mu Han is confident that this place will be built into a pearl outside the Saiwai. Mu Han, who has the knowledge of later generations, knows very well that Ning Province is not all barren and bitter cold land. Ning Province is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the territory is rich in water system, the Yellow River flows 397 kilometers in the province, the water flow is slow, the ditches on both sides of the river are vertical and horizontal, there is great potential for agricultural reclamation development, and the potential irrigable cultivated land area is very rich. At the same time, the province's coal reserves rank among the top in the country, with the characteristics of wide distribution, complete varieties, good coal quality, shallow burial, etc., and the structure is simple and easy to mine. Other mineral resources such as cement limestone, glass quartz sandstone, clay, miscanthus salt, barite, flint, silica, petroleum, copper, iron, phosphorus, salt and other mineral resources are also very rich. Of course, these were not developed in the slightest under the Nyingma.

So Mu Han incorporated and cleaned up the Ningma Army, eliminated and suppressed many bullies with great crimes, and once again mobilized the forces belonging to Wolong Mountain, and a large number of production and living resources were continuously injected into Ning Province.

Liu Laohan's family returned to their original home after being carefully diagnosed and treated by Long Weijun. Now the government has not only distributed land to them per capita, but also distributed enough food to eat for the winter for free, as well as a lot of production equipment. With a grateful heart, Liu Laohan sent his youngest son Liu Cheng to the barracks. The simple Liu Laohan deeply knew that everything in front of him was given by the Long Guard, and if he wanted to keep all this, he had to rely on the Long Guard. For a time, families like Liu Laohan were everywhere in Ning Province. Mu Han had no intention of conscription, so he had no choice but to accept all these people. In just a few days, the number of people reached more than 10,000. In order to appease these families and build Ning Province, Mu Han urgently posted a notice, saying that he would no longer collect troops, and sent 10 oceans to each family who joined the army in accordance with the rules of the Dragon Guard, which made the people of Ning Province even more grateful, and everyone supported this new ruler more and more. Mu Han also didn't expect that in the future, when he experienced betrayal and calamity, and he was almost at the end of his rope, none of these Ning Province children betrayed, and it was precisely because of these Ning Province children that he regained his glory.

In order to get Ning Province out of the predicament as soon as possible, Mu Han ordered the five treasures of Ning Province (i.e., Hongbao wolfberry, Huangbao licorice, Lanbao, Helan stone, Baibaotan sheepskin, and Heibao Taixi coal) to be reintegrated and packaged for processing and upgrading. The commercial and trade industry to which Wolong Mountain belongs vigorously sells products from Ning Province. Under the guidance of Mu Han, soon the scarves, woolen sweaters and other clothes made of pure wool with novel styles, health tea with wolfberry as the main formula in Ning Province, handicrafts processed with Helan stone as the base, leather fur with Tan sheepskin as the raw material, and health dishes with hair cabbage as the main raw material were warmly welcomed by all walks of life in China as soon as they were launched, and even sold well across the ocean to European and American countries under the economic crisis soon after.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of the shortage of labor and all kinds of talents, as well as the problem of the future supply of troops, Mu Han once again brought in a large amount of "American aid" for Chairman Chiang. The governments of Gansu and Ningbo will provide 10 mu of land per person per person and a set of housing for each family, and will distribute grain and other materials immediately after arrival.

All kinds of talents who have a skill and are willing to develop in the northwest will be initially paid twice as much as they are now on the basis of reimbursement of travel expenses. Such a favorable immigration policy and recruitment conditions have frantically attracted many poor people living at the bottom of the Central Plains. Many people who are struggling with the road and have no funds to develop the knowledge and lofty ideals are also like seeing a ray of light in the vast dark night, and immediately embarked on a journey to the northwest. At present, people rushing to the northwestern provinces of Gansu and Ningbo can be seen almost everywhere in the country.

After some operation, Ning Province burst out with vitality. The construction of Gan Province and Suiyuan is also changing with each passing day. With the full assistance of SPD cadres, the management of government affairs in various localities has also been handled in an orderly manner, both large and small.

Under these circumstances, in order to rationally arrange the deployment of the Longwei Army and the government affairs and the development of various undertakings in various places, Mu Han convened the first formal secret meeting of the Longwei Army in Ningfu.

The meeting formally established the military and political system of the Dragon Guard Army with Mu Han as the core of leadership. In order to continue to confuse the forces of all parties in the country, the names of the 88th, 89th, and 90th independent divisions of the National Revolutionary Army were maintained externally. Internally, it continues to be named after the Dragon Guard. At the same time, in order to prepare for the upcoming war against Japan, Muhan redivided the defense areas of various units and appointed military commanders. The military committee of the Dragon Guard and the members of each ministry remain unchanged.

The 1st Long Division, commander Ma Zhongxing, is composed of most of the original backbone of the division and the newly reorganized forces participating in the training, with a regular strength of 20,000 and 500 special combat personnel.

The Second Dragon Division, commander Xiao Chaohe, is composed of most of the original backbone of the division and the newly reorganized forces participating in the training, with a regular strength of 20,000 and 500 special combat personnel, and is secretly stationed along the Shanhaiguan Pass.

Externally, it is known as the 88th Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

The new Sixth Dragon Division, with division commander Huang Qiwei, is composed of half of the original backbone of the Fifth Dragon Division and the newly reorganized forces participating in the training, with a regular strength of 20,000 and 300 special combat personnel, and is stationed in Baocheng, Suiyuan.

The newly added Longqi Division, the division commander Hou Chenyun, is composed of a part of the backbone of the original divisions and the newly reorganized forces participating in the training, with a regular strength of 20,000 and 200 special combat personnel, stationed in Jiayuguan, Gan Province, and known as the Independent 89th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

The newly added Longba Division, the division commander Chen Shao'an, is composed of some backbone personnel from the original divisions, newly participated in training and reorganized forces, and newly enlisted soldiers from Ning Province, with a regular strength of 20,000 and 100 special combat personnel, stationed in Ningxia Prefecture, Ning Province. Externally, it is known as the 90th Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

The new Longjiu Division, the division commander Sun Feng, is composed of all the horses of the original Longwei Army in the three northeastern provinces, as well as Sun Feng's subordinates and Mu Han's men and horses recruited in the northeast, with a regular strength of 20,000 people. There are 1,000 special combat personnel, and the station is Sun Feng's original Motianling......

The new Dragon Guard Marine Corps, captained by a retired German Navy officer Von Tena, is composed of 5,000 soldiers who are proficient in water in the Dragon Guard Army, and is temporarily secretly stationed in Qinhuangdao.

The first division of the Dragon Guard Air Force, the division commander is temporarily served by the German Claire, and the whole division is temporarily stationed on the Geohe Dam.

The Wolongshan Special Operations Brigade is led by Jiang Haiyun. All special combat personnel of all departments are under the direct leadership of the special operations brigade. The original special operations brigade Guan Yue father and son guarded Fengtianye Maotai Sacred Trace Mountain.

A division directly under the Wolongshan Headquarters was established, with division commander Zhang Zhenyue composed of half of the original Wolongshan Headquarters and the Rehe Periphery Training and Reorganization Force, with a regular force of 30,000 and 500 special combat personnel.

The Mu Han Guard Regiment was formally established, and the head of the regiment, Hou Chenfeng, was composed of the Mu Han Wing mobilized by Mu Han to lurk in the city and part of Mu Han's personal special training forces. The number of people is 5000 people. So far, the total military strength of the Dragon Guard has reached more than 200,000.

At present, the Northeast Troops are giving priority to the allocation of all kinds of weapons produced by the Longwei Army Arsenal, and the rest of the troops will be reequipped in the future.

At the same time, all the military scientific and technological forces of the Longwei Army and the Longshan Military Academy were all relocated to Gan Province. The chairman of Gan Province is Zhou Da, the chairman of Ning Province is temporarily served by Mu Tianhao, and the daily work of Ning Province is presided over by Han Xing. The two provinces secretly formed a military government in the northwest of the country, with Chen Qi as the chairman of the government.

After the meeting, Mu Han secretly discussed with Chen Qi and Han Yun and secretly set up the ZH Supervision Bureau, whose main function was to supervise and investigate all the armies of the Long Wei Army, as well as local governments and all subordinate enterprises, units, and departments.

Facing Chen Qi and Han Yun, who were full of worries, Mu Han explained: Absolute power leads to absolute*! Power without oversight is bound to be a breeding ground for breeding * and betrayal. At present, we have a great shortage of all kinds of talents, and all forces are in the mud and sand, and even the forces of gathering and reorganization have not been completely screened. In order to develop and strengthen our strength as soon as possible, as long as we have talents, accept our leadership and management, no matter what kind of talents Long Weijun uses. These leave huge hidden dangers. Now that the war is about to start, a safety supervision mechanism and system must be established. And we must use a monitoring mechanism to restrain anyone in the Dragon Guard. The Inspectorate has the power to investigate, arrest or even shoot anyone at any time if the evidence is substantiated. In view of the secrecy and enormous powers of this body, the Inspectorate is under my direct supervision.

Chen Qi and Han Yun were relieved after hearing this.
