Entering Yulin City means that the independent column is officially stationed in the Yulin area. For such a result, many people who paid attention to the war in Yulin felt a little regretful and a little envious.

It's a pity that Yulin Wang Jing Yuexiu, who has always had a tough attitude, didn't fight with the independent column this time. If the two sides can fight, I am afraid that Chairman Chiang, who is far away in Nanjing, will give the 86th Division a big reward.

It's a pity that in the face of the reality of being alone in a lonely city, even Jing Yuexiu, who has been guarding Yulin for many years, can only choose the form of peace talks when he is isolated and helpless, and finally gives up Yulin, which has ruled for many years, and walks away in Inner Mongolia to avoid the edge.

What is envied is that the independent column occupies such a good place. Many people are very clear about Yulin's strategic location. It's a pity that they also fought Yulin's idea, but they fought back more fiercely than Jing Yuexiu.

At present, the Central Red Army stationed in Yan'an successfully took Yulin by besieging the city and sending reinforcements. The occupation of such a military town was too important for the development of the Red Army.

But many people don't know that He Zhengdao, who was stationed in Yulin, was very excited after inspecting the existing industrial base in Yulin. Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as excited.

Jing Yuexiu, who has been in charge of Yulin for many years, also seems to know the importance of modern industry to a region. Especially see Yan Laoxi next door, with the Shanxi industrial base created. The money is a lot of money.

Looking at the factory that had been suspended, He Zhengdao said to Xi Zhongxun beside him: "Old Xi." These factories are so important to us. The government of the border region must be in the shortest possible time. Call the factory master and workers back to work.

You are an old northern Shaanxi, and I believe you know that the winter in northern Shaanxi is very long. And at present, many of our officers and soldiers of the regiment do not even have a decent cotton uniform. If this continues, I'm afraid that wintering will be a big problem.

At present, I will hand over all these factories to the government of your border region to be responsible for the management. If you have any difficulties, you can always tell me. As long as the column can help, I will try to help you solve it. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Xi Zhongxun, who was appointed chairman of the Yulin Border District Government. He also nodded seriously and said, "Commander He, please rest assured!" Our government will definitely allow these factories to resume production as soon as possible.

It's just that the current situation is that there is too little money available on the part of the government. Although the bank withheld a lot of money, it belonged to some shareholders of the factory. On the side of our government, it is not good to be too misappropriate.

In addition, if the factory is to be opened, the purchase of raw materials and the wages of workers need to be paid. I've counted it in the past few days. The government does not have even 10,000 oceans of funds that can be mobilized. ”

Looking at Xi Zhongxun with a bitter face, He Zhengdao also knew that a government in charge of one side had no money. How do you talk about managing places? Money is also extremely important to the Red Army!

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao said with some confusion: "Over there at the headquarters." Can't think of a way? ”

Facing He Zhengdao's inquiry, Xi Zhongxun smiled bitterly: "Commander He." You know, we are very poor in northern Shaanxi. Otherwise. We won't even be able to afford to change the uniforms of our soldiers.

When I came, Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou had a special conversation with me. What they mean is that there is indeed a fund in the hands of the headquarters at the moment. It's just that this fund is also a drop in the bucket compared to the government of the border area of the large base area.

Don't you know that Lin Lao, who was in charge of finance during this time, was frightened by those who asked for money. If there is no special reason, I am afraid that the headquarters will not allocate funds to us easily. ”

In this way, He Zhengdao also frowned a little, but finally said: "That's it!" Wait a minute, from the side of the column reserve, I will advance 100,000 oceans from your government. However, you have to give me an IOU and return it next time you have income.

This money is also intended to be invested in the artillery factory. You should be aware that at the moment the guns and ammunition of our troops are all captured. Once it is not captured, I am afraid that the guns in our hands will become burning sticks.

Therefore, the Yulin Artillery Factory, which was taken over by the column in the later period, will be the focus of my investment. I hope that with the help of the existing scale of the Yulin Artillery Plant, it will be developed. At the very least, you have to do a reload of bullets and repair some guns.

You should know how important it is for our Red Army to have an arsenal capable of producing bullets and weapons. It is precisely because of this that I dare to intercept some of the funds we seized this time. ”

Yulin Artillery Factory, albeit not a very specialized arsenal. But there are generators and some machines for drilling and cutting. Although this artillery factory was not as important as the Taiyuan Arsenal in Yanxishan, it was equally important to the Red Army.

At least bullet reloading, firearm repair, should be able to do. Even He Zhengdao began to think about letting this gun factory produce some simple and practical weapons. Examples include weapons such as mines, grenades, thunder cannons, explosive packs, etc.

In the future, if there are channels, we will slowly introduce some machinery and equipment, and hope to have a production line for making bullets as soon as possible. Of course, it would be great if you could make guns and artillery.

It's just that at present, there are no funds, talents, and supporting steel plants. Most importantly, all of this equipment must be imported from abroad. In addition to grabbing, even if there is a channel to buy it, the cost alone will make He Zhengdao vomit blood.

Therefore, every time he gazes at Shanxi, He Zhengdao thinks. During the Battle of Taiyuan, the Taiyuan Arsenal had to be moved to Yulin no matter what. In order to realize this plan, it is worth the sacrifice.

Just after inspecting the existing factories in Yulin City, He Zhengdao suddenly said: "Old Xi, I know a way to make money for the government." If you can organize people to run it well, I am afraid that in the future this will be a source of money for the border government. ”

'Really? What's the idea? ’

Pointing to a town on the map, he said with a smile: "Old Xi, you are old northern Shaanxi, you should know that Jing Yuexiu can rule Yulin for many years, and there must be a source of its finances and taxes." As far as I know, this town has a lot of salt reserves in the lake.

If we can bring these salt farms under the management of the government, we will not only ensure the supply of salt in our border areas, but we will even be able to sell this salt to other places. Regarding this suggestion, you can ask Vice Chairman Zhou.

I dare say that if he had known about this, he would have fully agreed. Salt has always been in the sole charge of the government, that is, in this chaotic year, warlords everywhere still control this salt in their hands.

Compared with the lack of salt in other places, there are really a lot of salt farms controlled by our column. If the yield and quality can be improved, the price will be cheaper than the salt produced in other provinces. Presumably, there should be no worries about sales, right? ”

Salt is an important source of taxation for dynasties. It's just that now, illegal salt is rampant everywhere. But even so, in some provinces where salt is scarce, salt is a must. And Yulin's salt industry resources are indeed very rich!

Hearing He Zhengdao's suggestion, Xi Zhongxun patted his thigh and said, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Okay, I will apply to the central government to implement salt industry control in the border areas. Salt traders who do not have permission from the government will be expelled from our bases. ”

Regarding Xi Zhongxun's thoroughness, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Doing this can indeed ensure that our salt income does not flow out." But implementing such rules will still cause problems for our salt exports.

I mean, we can look into the price of salt from other provinces in our border areas. As long as the salt we produce is good and the price is cheaper than others, I believe that the common people will naturally know whose salt is better.

Compared with other foreign salts that want to enter our Soviet area, the cost of transportation is not low, right? And what about us? Occupy the landlord's advantage, are you afraid that you can't compete with the private salt of other provinces? It's better to be blocked, we still have to give others a little sweetness. ”

After saying this, He Zhengdao said this idea of getting rich that can really see the effect. After listening to these golden ideas, Xi Zhongxun also said with emotion: "It seems that Vice Chairman Zhou is really right, I have something to find you, it really works!" ”

In a word, he said He Zhengdao's face was full of black lines. It's just that think about the other identity of the person in front of you. He Zhengdao also felt that he didn't know if his arrival would change the history of the person in front of him?

In any case, the matter was resolved smoothly, and it was supported by the column of 100,000 oceans. Xi Zhongxun also began to make every effort to develop various productions in the border area. It is hoped that the finances of the border areas will be reversed as soon as possible.

As for He Zhengdao, after arranging the government's mess of affairs, he finally decided to start inspecting the troops stationed in various places. This is done to inspect the garrison of the troops, and secondly, it can be regarded as an observation of the people's feelings.

This is an independent column, and in the first winter of Yulin, He Zhengdao is also very clear. For many soldiers from the south, this winter is a bit difficult. However, He Zhengdao also hoped that the troops would be able to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible.

With a cavalry reconnaissance battalion, He Zhengdao began to leave Yulin City and embarked on the journey to inspect the Yulin defense area. Mao Taizu and others, who received telegrams from the Yulin Border Region from time to time, also expressed great satisfaction with the series of measures taken by the Yulin Border Region.

Compared with other border governments, they still need more support from the headquarters. Yulin, which has the largest control area, gets the least amount of money from the headquarters. How can the headquarters not be satisfied with such a military and political team!

As the Central Red Army began to carry out a comprehensive rest and work for the construction of a new Soviet zone. The Red Fourth Front Army, which was far away in Sichuan, ushered in the most brutal battle of their march into the western Sichuan Plain.

Even the headquarters can receive telegrams from the reconnaissance battalion from time to time. However, little is known about the new campaign launched by the Red Fourth Front Army in western Sichuan. Soon after, a telegram arrived, shocking the headquarters.

He Zhengdao, who was inspecting the defense area, looked at the telegram sent by the reconnaissance battalion and felt equally incredulous. In addition to being shocked, He Zhengdao felt that his arrival was really already changing the development process of some Red Army! (To be continued.) )
