Chapter 193: White Wolf Bandit Army
In order to control all these remote territories in his hands, in addition to the necessary garrisons, the most important thing is to use economic interests to firmly link these areas with the hinterland, and form a dependent relationship with each other, which is the root of the problem, of course, a canning factory is far from enough, Qiao Yu plans to establish some more such as woolen mills, power plants, including a number of enterprises, these enterprises are not only open in Ya'an, but also try to open on the snowy plateau.
In addition to this reason, Qiao Yu also has an important plan, that is, to prepare for the First World War, which will undoubtedly be a milestone event in the explosive development of Sichuan industry.
Qiao Yu also has plans for exporting, arms are undoubtedly the most profitable in the war, and the guns and cannons produced in Sichuan are not enough for their own use, but shells and bullets can still be exported, in addition, military clothing tents, military uniforms, shoes and socks, bandages, medicines, food equipment, etc. are all within the scope of Sichuan's exports, using foreigners' money to develop industry, and turning around to produce industrial products to slaughter foreigners, which can be regarded as curve revenge!
The factories set up in Ya'an are mainly aimed at the Tibetan provinces, and as for the factories in northern Sichuan, Qinghai, Shaanxi and Gansu are also included in this system, and the expansion forces should not only focus on the expansion of territory, but also learn to use economic means to control each other, and should also focus on the economy, while the military is only an auxiliary means.
The main product of the Xueyu Canning Factory is yak, which is delicious and nutritious, and can provide sufficient energy for the soldiers.
Qiao Yu and the eldest brother walked around the factory, and could already see a lot of neighboring herdsmen rushing their livestock here, the purchase price of the canning factory is one percent higher than the market price, and there is no limit to the number, how many are needed, the joy in the hearts of these herdsmen is indescribable, all the black and red faces are smiling, selling livestock, and going to the nearby market to buy some tea, cloth, lamp oil, flour and other goods, and then happily back home.
Of course, this is only the neighboring herdsmen, I believe that with the expansion of the scale, more and more herdsmen will be involved in this industrialized production model, and the economic ties between Tibetan Province and the interior will be closer.
It turned out that this was an alert sent by Wang Lingji, saying that a large number of bandits had entered Sichuan from northwest Hubei, and now they were launching an offensive against Daning, and it was not very clear what the bandits were coming from, Qiao Yu suddenly had a little headache when he saw the information, and the bandits in Sichuan had almost disappeared after a large-scale crackdown, and now so many bandits appeared out of thin air Aren't they slapping themselves in the face.
It seems that this group of bandits is still from other provinces, thinking of this, Qiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, wasn't there a big bandit in the early days of the Republic of China, the leader was named White Wolf, Lao Yuan wasted a lot of energy to quell the bandits, it seems that he has never heard of the White Wolf scourge Sichuan, but now why is it attacking Sichuan with great fanfare, it is really a little inexplicable.
Qiao Yu had to interrupt the inspection and hurriedly returned to Chengdu to take command.
There are many theories about who this white wolf is, some people say that he is Wu Luzhen's staff officer, Wu Luzhen returned to his hometown after being killed, and gradually pulled up the team and became a giant bandit, but this statement is not credible, it is just to put gold on his face.
The place where the white wolf started is Henan, this is Lao Yuan's hometown, it stands to reason that this kind of bandit should not appear in the president's hometown, but it just appeared, and it was also a slap in the face to Lao Yuan, since ancient times, it has been the official force and the people to rebel, and the reason for the matter is to blame Lao Yuan, Yuan Shikai handed over the throne of Henan Governor to Zhang Zhenfang after serving as president, this Zhang Zhenfang is Lao Yuan's cousin, and everything can not be bad to relatives.
After Zhang Zhenfang became the governor of Henan, he carried forward the practice of Lao Yuan, appointed private individuals, looted excessively, and the number of little wives increased.
Zhang Zhenfang in Henan nonsense, after the establishment of the Republic of China, the tax on gold has increased frequently, and then there are natural disasters, the people of Henan are becoming more and more unable to live, the official force of the people is the truth that is common everywhere, many bandits in the Xinhai Revolution have risen, is the so-called heroes of the troubled times in all directions, but although they did not get any benefits, but one by one the ambitions have increased, and now Henan is showing chaos, they have jumped out, attracted forces, and looted everywhere.
At this time, there was another important reason that after the outbreak of the Song case, the Southern Revolutionary Party took frequent actions, and even many people wanted to launch a revolution and oust Lao Yuan, and it was under this circumstance that Lao Yuan transferred his troops to the south, causing the emptiness of Henan and giving these bandits an opportunity to take advantage of, and the entire land of Henan fell into bandit chaos, and even the neighboring Hubei and Shaanxi were not stable.
After Qiao Yu returned to Chengdu, all kinds of information were sent over one after another, and Wang Lingji also reported to Qiao Yu the front and back of the White Wolf Bandit Army.
"Fang Zhou, so this is a bandit army from Henan, how could it come to our Sichuan?"
Wang Lingji's face showed a trace of embarrassment, "Dashuai, some bandit leaders in Sichuan were not eliminated when they suppressed bandits, but absconded to neighboring provinces, especially in northern Sichuan, these bandit leaders fled to Hubei, Shaanxi and other places, and the momentum of the white wolf bandit army is getting stronger and stronger, they colluded with the white wolf bandit army, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger, some bandits who are unwilling to fail want to counterattack Sichuan, it is said that the one who took the lead in attacking Daning this time was a bandit in Sichuan, and the bandit was called Manshanhong!" ”
Full of red? It seems that Qiao Yu has seen this name in the report, and it is a female bandit leader.
"The timing of the bandit army this time is not bad, it is when the Central Plains is empty, echoing with the south, and the cooperation is very tacit!"
"Dashuai Mingjian, it is said that there are many original Kuomintang elements in the bandit army, they did not make a name for themselves in the Xinhai year, and they have been unwilling, some time ago they were disarmed on a large scale, and they have no livelihood, and now they have the opportunity to blend into the White Wolf Army, and it is also said that Sun Wen also sent a letter of appointment to the White Wolf, so that he could organize the Yuan Army in the north!"
As soon as Qiao Yu heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter, this Sun Wen is really crazy about power, can this kind of rogue be relied on, they have no other ability than to harm the people, the typical success is not enough and there is more than failure, even if he can barely contain Lao Yuan's forces, but he is mixed with everyone, how to win the support of the people!
Qiao Yu immediately summoned all the generals over, ready to attack the bandit army that invaded Sichuan, and the generals in Sichuan were also overjoyed when they heard that there was a battle, the Sichuan army had just undergone reorganization, and it was a good time to show their skills.
"Dashuai, leave this mission to me, last time I was derelict in my duty and let Man Shanhong escape, and now she dares to attack Sichuan, I must hand over her head to you!" Liu Yunhong was the first to come out and ask for battle!
