At the end of the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century, the construction of a 200-kilometer Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway seemed to be a great feat. But in the 30s of the 17th century, Baathist China also built this railway, which was not so remarkable.

Beginning in 1629, when the Baath Party recruited bankrupt and landless peasants to form a production and construction corps in order to effectively transform the agricultural population into an industrial population, Hubei, Shandong, and southern Liaoning first established the coal industry and the iron and steel industry in their own regions, and then began to build their own railway networks in an all-round way relying on the iron and steel industry of their own provinces.

Such a huge project certainly cannot be a smooth sailing process.

The masses of the people are uncomfortable with the transformation from lazy peasants to highly disciplined and organized workers; The main construction machinery is from steam engine power to diesel engine power, and technicians feel uncomfortable; From following the full set of drawings and plans given by the Baath Central Design Bureau to completing the exploration, planning and design themselves, the local engineering designers of the Baath Party also felt uncomfortable.

Under the strong impetus of the Baath Party, the inadaptability of the piles and piles has changed from inadaptability to adaptation. More than 700,000 people in the three regions have changed from peasants in a backward agricultural society to industrial workers in an industrial society. A large number of engineers and technicians from the formal education system of the Baath Party participated in the exploration, planning and design of railways in various regions, and through a large number of practices, they became engineers and designers who truly mastered all aspects of technology and knowledge.

Although in the statistics after the completion of the construction of the railway network in the three regions, more than 1,000 members of the Baxing Party in the three regions sacrificed in the process, and nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Railway Production and Construction Corps sacrificed in the process. However, the 700,000 industrial workers who were thoroughly trained and mastered all aspects of technology in the 50s of the 20 th century, and the nearly 20,000 engineers and designers who were fully practiced in the front line, have become the most valuable wealth of New China.

Therefore, after the founding of New China, whether it is for the construction of two horizontal and two vertical railways in Northeast China, or for the construction of three horizontal and three vertical railways in Hebei, or for the construction of railway networks in Shaanxi and Shanxi, especially the Chengdu-Wuhan Railway (Chengdu to Wuchang) and Beijing-Shanghai Railway (New Beijing Special Economic Zone to Shanghai), which are the key construction projects in the first five-year plan of New China, there is no longer a shortage of corresponding engineering and technical personnel and construction personnel.

More importantly, the Baath Party, through the vigorous construction of railway transportation, on the one hand, effectively transformed the population of the agricultural society into industrial workers, and on the other hand, because of the demand for steel and coal in the construction of the railway, the steel and coal industries were popularized throughout China.

It is no exaggeration to say that the People's Democratic Empire of China in 1636 was comparable to Britain in the early 19th century, when the first industrial revolution was completed.

According to the statistics of the Central Bureau of Statistics, as of July 1636, among the 86 million people in New China (Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang), about 13 million industrial workers specialized in industrial work. In the countless state farms from the Nengang Plain to the Hangang Plain, there are about 24 million agricultural workers engaged in industrial agricultural production.

In other words, of the 86 million people in northern China controlled by the Baath Party, 37 million were already industrialized in the pure sense of the word. Of the remaining 49 million people, 300,000 Baath Party members, as well as 500,000 first-line renaissance troops recruited by the Ba'ath Party from remote areas with harsh natural and geographical environments, and more than 2.5 million second-line troops who are mainly responsible for production and construction tasks for industrialization training and practice.

If we ignore the level of industrialization, New China in 1636 was already an industrialized country in the pure sense of the first industrial revolution.

The huge iron and steel industry, the developed mining industry, the prosperous machinery manufacturing industry, the rapidly developing petroleum industry, and the higher-level chemical industry have completely turned into a light industry dominated by foreign trade, coupled with a specialized, specialized, and mechanized industrial agricultural system that can not only meet the self-consumption of the 86 million population of northern China, but also export to the Nanming region, and it is a relatively modest statement to say that the current Chinese People's Democratic Empire is the most powerful country on the planet.

No matter how powerful an agricultural country is, it is no match for the most backward industrial country. In modern China, some experts who lack the heart and eye talk nonsense about the advanced nature of nomadic civilization and what kind of crazy words about this totem and that totem seem very ridiculous in the face of the practice of the Baath Party.

The Baath Party may not have the great engineering designers like Zhan Tianyou, but the Baath Party has 20,000 first-line railway exploration and engineering design talents who have received a secondary school education at the level of the 70s of the 20th century and have undergone a lot of practice. What's more, the Baath Party still has hundreds of thousands of experienced railway engineering construction personnel, not to mention the late Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century, and even before 1949 in China.

Therefore, with 300 engineers and more than 60,000 new and old railway production and construction troops, relying on the steel output of 300,000 tons per Chinese New Year's Eve of the newly built Qinhuangdao Iron and Steel Base and a large number of railway engineering equipment provided by the Fanyang Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which was completed in 1633, the Sixth Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways completed the construction of the Beijing-Zhang Railway from the New Beijing Special Zone to the Chahar New Area in just over two years in early 1636.

The Mongols were no more heroic and fearless in the face of the roaring train than the Indians who also faced the train in the eighteenth and ninth centuries.

Lin Dan Khan, who was able to defeat the Houjin tribes led by Dolgon and the Horqin Mongol tribes in the Chahar and Khalkha regions, united thirteen tribes, organized more than 30,000 Mongol "armies", and brazenly launched a large-scale war against the Zhangheng region.

However, Lin Dan Khan suffered a humiliating defeat in the face of the 5,000 front-line troops of the Baath Army, which were fully armed with Fuxing Type 6 rifles (Mosingana rifles), Fuxing Type 4 machine guns (Maxim machine guns), rocket launchers, multiple rocket launchers, and 75-mm field guns (Schneider 75-mm field guns), and achieved company-level radio communications (hand-cranked transmitters).

Especially when the simplified version, the armored train loaded with machine guns, rocket launchers and artillery, and the armored carriage of the cavalry brigade of the Baxing Army cooperated to annihilate more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers at one time, Lin Dan Khan directly sent his heir to the Xinjing Special Administrative Region with a white horse and a white camel with the heirloom seal, and expressed his complete submission to the Central People's Government and the new emperor Wang Shuhui himself.

At present, along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the Mongolian masses who have "returned to the big family of the Chinese nation" and the Mongolian herdsmen who have not yet returned to the big family of the Chinese nation to trade in the Zhangheng area have become a special scenery along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway when they see the strange behavior of the whizzing train and immediately throw themselves to the ground.

Sitting on the special train of the Third Branch of the General Bureau of Animal Husbandry of the Ministry of Agriculture, whether it is the staff of the Chahar Prefecture who followed Lin Yuze to take office, or the cadres and technicians of the Third Branch of the General Bureau of Animal Husbandry, they can all enjoy this special scenery through the window of the train.

The Aegis tribe is a very small tribe among the Chahar Mongol tribes. As can be seen from the name of this tribe "Aegis", unlike the ordinary Mongolian tribes, this small tribe named after the plough is a tribe that mainly cultivates agriculture.

Anyone who thinks that the Mongols did not engage in agricultural production at all is nonsense. Nomads are not nomadic because they like to be nomadic. It was entirely because of the backward level of productivity and the extreme external environment that limited their progress towards agricultural civilization that they had to choose a nomadic life.

Any species wants to be able to reproduce and expand its own population, and the nomadic civilization itself is very fragile to the population, so the nomadic people naturally hope to obtain stable means of subsistence through agricultural means to develop and expand their populations.

It's just that although there is almost no technical difficulty and threshold restrictions on agricultural production activities, agricultural production is also a production technology that requires hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of a nation to fully master, so just like his student Houjin Jurchen plundered the people of the Central Plains to farm for them, the Mongols, the teacher, created a precedent for plundering the Han people as slaves.

The ban that has begun to appear since the middle of the Ming Dynasty is a clear proof of this.

By cultivating land, the Han people can obtain stable means of subsistence. For this, the Mongolian people are very envious. Naturally, they learned the corresponding agricultural production techniques from the Han people, who were plundered to the grasslands and become agricultural slaves.

However, in the vast Mongolian steppe, agricultural production, which requires large amounts of water, cannot be carried out anywhere.

The ancestors of the Aegis tribe were the Mongols who lived in Bansheng. After they learned the technique of agricultural production on the grassland, they have passed it on ever since. Therefore, even if this tribe's combat ability is not strong, a huge Mongolian tribe as strong as the Chahar tribe is still very preferential to them.

Unfortunately, however, the preferential treatment does not mean that the Aegis tribe is exempted from their obligations to the leader of the Chahar tribe, Lin Dan Khan. In early 1636, during Lin Dan Khan's "Great War to the Death", the Aegis Division, which had only 300 men, was also sent to fight with the tribal leaders to follow Lin Dan Khan.

It's really unfortunate. Like all the weak tribes on the steppe, the "warriors" of the Aegis Division, who existed as cannon fodder, were instantly blown to pieces by the artillery of the Renaissance Army in the first round of attacks on the Renaissance Army. The leader of the Aegis tribe and the heir of the chief, his youngest son, were reduced to pieces in the battle. Only a few old herdsmen of the Aegis Division, who were responsible for the logistics of driving the cattle and sheep in the rear, survived this hellish battle.

The Aegis Department, which had lost almost all of its young and middle-aged men, suffered a catastrophe. Fortunately, however, several old herders who had been captured by the Ba'ath Army were released. With their return, only the old, weak, sick and disabled and a dozen or so young and middle-aged Aegis were given a new lease of life.

They had permission from the Fuxing Army to provide logistics services for the Fuxing Army near the Saiwanzi Army Racecourse of the Fuxing Army, which was not far from Zhang Heng.

The reason why the Aegis Ministry was able to get the protection of the Renaissance Army was that among the old herdsmen captured by the Renaissance Army, there was an old herdsman named Hazhnaohai who could speak Chinese.

It was hardly difficult for the Renaissance Army to destroy the Mongols by force, but it was very rare to find people who could provide translation services for the Renaissance Army by mastering both Chinese and Mongolian.

It was precisely because Harinaohai knew Chinese and could act as a translator to help the Renaissance Army communicate with the Mongol captives that the Aegis Department, where Harinaohai was located, was placed by the Renaissance Army in the Xiwan sub-area.

No one thought that knowing Chinese would become a skill that would allow them to rise rapidly.

After Lin Dan Khan's 30,000 Mongol "army" was wiped out, he retreated north to the Chahar tribes in the Northern Mongolian region, and began to frantically search for Mongols who could speak Chinese and some Chinese. You must know that whether the Chahar tribe, whose strength has been greatly reduced, can survive under the attack of the upcoming Mongol tribes and the Dolgon Jurchen tribe depends entirely on whether the Chinese court is satisfied with the submission of Lin Dan Khan, and whether it will canonize and support the Chahar tribe in the future.

Under these circumstances, the Aegis Division, which was under the protection of the Baath Army, became the bread and butter of the Chahar Division.

The Chahar tribes, which were in urgent need of relations with the Chinese court, and some Mongol tribes who were originally subordinate to the Chahar tribe who were not optimistic about the future of Lin Dan Khan, began to contact the Aegis tribe frequently, hoping to communicate effectively with the revival army.

However, what they did not expect was that the only reaction of the Revival Army to their active approach was to fully open up the trade activities of the Zhangheng region to the various departments of the grassland.

What did the Mongols lack? Suffice it to say, the Mongols lacked everything except cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock. In an era when an iron pot could be exchanged for a war horse, the strong industrial capacity of the Baath Party was simply a blessing to the Mongols.

After the Baath Party fully opened up the trade in the Zhang Heng area, not only the Chahar Ministry, but also the Dolgon-Jurchen tribes and the Horqin Mongol tribes, who were extremely afraid of the Baath Army, all the Mongol tribes who got the news came to Zhang Heng and the Baath Party from various places with cattle, sheep and horses to trade.

These Mongols found that the Han Chinese of today seemed to be very different from the Han of the past. They no longer love and care about horses, but they like cattle and sheep, which they didn't like very much in the past.

They found that as long as there were enough cattle and sheep, they could exchange for anything they needed in Zhang Heng. Even swords and other weapons that could never be bought from the Han people in the past can be easily exchanged from the Han people as long as they use cattle and sheep.

However, they also found that the Han Chinese have become extremely tough and violent.

Those who could not follow the rules of the Han Chinese in the market would be hanged on the gallows at the first time by the soldiers dressed in strange clothes.

After a small tribe from the Chechen Khan rebelled, and then these terrible soldiers were killed in the first place with chain guns (machine guns) and built a mountain of human heads outside the bazaar with their dead heads, all the Mongols who came to trade became more law-abiding than the Han Chinese.
