Chapter 104: Huge Harvest
"Counting the Kuji before Mukden,
There are also recently from Nanman Co., Ltd.,
Investigation and punishment of some Japanese grain and oil merchants,
At present, we control more than 572,000 tons of rice, flour and other types of grain. One horse as three soldiers, people eat horses and chew, and the road is relatively difficult, transported to northern Shaanxi, it is estimated that there are 400,000 tons. ”
Tibetan Yi was in Jiang Li's military camp at this time, although Jiang Li was only a small brigade commander, a little worse than him, the governor of Fengtian, but Tibetan Yi did not underestimate Jiang Li at all. This young man already has signs of rising, although Huang Xiansheng's prestige in the Northeast Army was higher than Jiang Li's in the past, and now among the more than 30,000 defenders in Fengtian, more than 10,000 are still Huang Xiansheng's old police force pulled from all over the country, but one is that Jiang Li has made a name for himself in continuous battles, and Huang Xiansheng has received Zhang Xueliang's favor, and he always has a little scruple about doing things, but Jiang Li doesn't have so much to think about in this regard, and has shown signs of becoming a party force. has the foundation of Fengtian, and Tibetan Yi can even see the rise of Jiang Li in northern Shaanxi.
"With so much grain, even if it takes a few months of fighting, plus the consumption on the road, it will be enough for two or three hundred thousand people to survive until next year's autumn grain harvest. Originally, I still had some headaches about food, but I didn't expect there to be so much, and these grains alone are worth nearly 20 million yuan. Jiang Li nodded, eating is a big problem in this era, if there is not enough food,
The men under him must not collapse yet,
When he first arrived in northern Shaanxi, although Yang Hucheng was also a patriotic general,
And after the 918 Incident, he advocated active resistance against Japan and opposed Chiang Kai-shek's invasion of foreign affairs and internal security.
Jiang Li saw the possibility of cooperating with Yang Hucheng, but after all, he was going to Shaanxi to occupy territory, not to mention that Chiang Kai-shek did not trust Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army, in addition to appointing Yang Hucheng as the governor of Shaanxi Province, he also asked Liu Maoen of the Zhensong Army to bring a force into Shaanxi, and make the best plan for everything.
It is always good to have a little more food to prepare.
"The grain is being harvested one after another, and in normal times, there is not so much food." Tibetan Shiyi said, "The other thing is mechanical,
This time, various machinery dismantled from Anshan, Benxi, Fushun, and Fengtian City included oil refining, steelmaking, iron making, and coking. There are more than 36,230 new and old machinery such as cement, brick making, matchmaking, grain making, oil extraction, papermaking, spinning, wool spinning, power generation, etc., plus a large number of materials, which are worth at least 560 million yuan if converted into cash. Tibetan Shiyi said with a red light on his face.
"If you count our cash in the Northeast Bank, Bank of China, and Bank of Communications, that is to say, the guys we can take away are worth six or seven billion. Good guys, if you really go to northern Shaanxi, you can put these machines into operation, and in a few years, you can manage the northwest out of the northeast. ”
Jiang Li said with a smile. This is not counting the large amount of money that Zhang Zuolin and his son have invested in the arsenal for several years, as well as Zhang Xueliang's batch of gold. Some historical information shows that the Japanese army entered the customs,
The direct economic loss in the Northeast is more than 1.8 billion yuan, and there is not really so much spot.
A lot of it is converted. If it weren't for the fact that the Northeast was within the sphere of influence of the Japanese army, it would really be a good place for development. Jiang Li sighed secretly in his heart, it was a pity.
"The foundation of the northwest is still much worse than that of the northeast, and it is worse in every aspect. What, what does Brigadier Jiang mean to plot against the northwest? Tibetan Yi first shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then came back to his senses and said in shock.
"It's just an idea for the time being, let's stop in northern Shaanxi first. Although the basic conditions in the northwest are poor,
But as long as the food problem can be solved,
It's still very potential, the most important thing is that it's far enough from the Japanese army,
can calm down and develop, no matter how good the foundation is in the Northeast, as soon as the battle is fought, everything will be chaotic.
What's the use. Jiang Li did not deny the idea of occupying the northwest, and only by defecting to the red regime could he obtain large-scale support from the Soviet Union.
But the support of the Soviet Union also needs roads, the historical war of resistance, Lao Jiang obtained a large number of materials through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Jiang Li also wanted to lay a solid rear in the northwest, build a road from the northwest to the Soviet Union, convenient for the rear military supplies, as well as a large number of machinery transportation, after all, to the northwest, the Japanese army occupied the southeast coast, and the road to transport materials from the east has been blocked. This road could not pass through Mongolia from northern Shaanxi, and the Japanese cut it off with casual hands.
It can only be through Gansu and connect the Soviet Union through Xinjiang. Create a strategic-level blood transfusion line. When the time comes, it is necessary to sweep away the local forces in the northwest. Otherwise, although these machines that moved from the northeast alone can make a certain difference in the anti-Japanese war, they will not be able to gradually catch up with the footsteps of the great powers in the following time.
"The things are grabbed, but Japan will inevitably be furious, and they have to hurry up and transport the things to the west, which troops does Brigade Commander Jiang plan to send to escort the escort along the way, this brigade of chariots and horses, without a capable force, I am afraid that it will not be able to protect it." Tibetan Shiyi asked worriedly.
"For the time being only one regiment of discontented members was sent,
Escort supplies to Tongliao, and troops will be gradually increased later.
At that time, there will be 10,000 to 15,000 troops escorted along the way. Jiang Li nodded, very much agreed with Tibetan Yi's statement, the road to the west is too long, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, in the grassland, there are also a lot of bandits. Even Zhang Xueliang didn't pay attention to goods like Tang Yulin, and Jiang Li didn't expect the other party to sell him any face.
"Okay, you're in charge of the troops." Tibetan Yi knew that Jiang Li had no better way at this time, even if he sent troops to escort him, I am afraid that most of them were recruits, after all, it could not affect the defensive battle of Fengtian, otherwise once Fengtian was broken by the Japanese army, these machines would be snatched back into the hands of the Japanese.
Jingle Bell .........
The phone rang, and Jiang Li lifted the phone.
"Hey, Brigadier Jiang, I'm Chen Jingguo." A voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Director Chen, how is the production of landmines?" Jiang Li reminded him.
"I was about to tell Brigade Commander Jiang about this, and according to Brigade Commander Jiang's suggestion, the first batch of mines has been produced, and now there are 150 mines per day." Chen Jingguo said.
"Okay, I'll send someone to receive the mines,
The pace of demolition and relocation of the arsenal should be accelerated. Jiang Li reminded a few more words, the mines in this era are relatively backward, Jiang Li could have allowed the arsenal to produce more advanced ones, but at this time, time is pressing, so everything is simple, try to produce a batch first, and lay some minefields outside Fengtian City, so as to hinder the Japanese attack.
"Traveler, Traveler, it's not good." The soldier Wang Chaofu trotted all the way over,
There was some surprise on his face.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Li frowned and asked.
"Our brothers who went to Zhaozhuang to transport Japanese goods were intercepted by the 20th Brigade withdrawn from Zhengjiatun, and the goods were intercepted by the other party, and our people were injured, and even Battalion Commander Mo was detained by the other party." Wang Chaofu's tone was fast and urgent.
"The eight lambs of the king, they have no ability, they are deserters,
Dare to hit the idea on Lao Tzu's head,
I'm really impatient to live, where is the other party now? ”
Jiang Li asked angrily.
Wang Chaofu said, "According to the brother who was watching in front, the other party was a cavalry battalion.
Now the main forces of the 20 Brigade going south have converged. It's in Zhuma Village, Brigade Seat, do you want to transfer troops from the city to surround the other party? ”
"I can't help it, the 20th Brigade was ordered by the young marshal to move south, and the Japanese army marched eastward, at this juncture, we can't get into trouble anymore." Tibetan Shiyi said with a shocked face, "
There are still many troops in the northeast who are willing to obey the orders of the young marshal, and several brigades are now on their way to Jinzhou. ”
"The Tibetan governor has a point,
But this wind can't be long, don't give the other party a little color, and think we're easy to bully, don't kill this sprout,
Let's move west, some cats and dogs dare to ride on the head. Let me take care of that. Jiang Li took a breath, Zhuma Village, Tian Jianlong's tank company has not been withdrawn, it is close to that side, bring a cavalry over, Tibetan style Yi financial management, internal affairs have a hand, but literati are literati after all, if this matter is compromised, I don't know how much trouble will come to the door later, even if it is the young marshal's troops, this face cannot be given!
