Chapter 34: The Four Strongs of Money
After occupying the city of NN, the 1st Division left a battalion of troops to guard the prisoners, maintain the stability of the NN, and issued proclamations throughout the city to calm the hearts of the people, and the logistics medical team also began to rescue the wounded, whether it was the enemy army or their own soldiers, after all, everyone is Chinese.
Before the siege of the city, the people of the city stayed at home and closed their doors. The soldiers and civilians who stayed at home heard the rumbling of artillery and gunfire outside, and they were all terrified. They are all praying that the shells will not miss, and it will be tragic if they fall in their own homes. Fortunately, however, the sound of artillery was far away, and it was not until the heavy artillery brigade fired the artillery into the city in order to destroy the artillery positions in the city, and the residents around the artillery positions heard the loud noise that was close at hand, and were almost not frightened to run out of their homes and prepare to flee from the city. But fortunately, the heavy artillery brigade took a short time to destroy the artillery in the city, and it did not spread to the surrounding area, which was also thanks to the strong training volume of the artillerymen every day, and the high accuracy of the artillery produced by Chen Shao, which did not cause much panic.
Soon after, the People's Army entered the city, and the sound of artillery stopped, but the gunfire was so loud that the residents were panicked and everyone was in danger. Some even have kitchen knives at home, and if the soldiers outside come in to grab something, they are ready to fight with them. This is not uncommon in the warlord melee period, because many warlords' soldiers are everywhere to pull strong men, or simply to recruit bandits, so the quality of the soldiers is uneven, taking advantage of the battle to grab things is a common thing, and there are many robbers, and the commander is not easy to punish, and some people simply set up troops to grab things, and then profit from it. So it's no wonder that the boss is scared and worried that the soldiers outside will come in and grab something. As the tanks entered the city, the ground trembled gently with the roar of the tanks, which made the panic of the residents even worse.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the gunfire and artillery to stop, and some bold residents began to poke their heads out to look out, only to see a group of soldiers with rifles on their backs loading the corpses on the ground into a large bag, and then loading them onto trucks, and then there were several strange trucks moving slowly on the road, the front ones were sprinkling water, and the cars behind were constantly turning with brushes like big brooms, and as the cars advanced, the blood stains on the road disappeared, and they were much cleaner than before, The whole road seems to have been washed by rain several times. These cars are the cleaning cars that Chen Shao modified according to later generations, and they seem to work well. In order to reduce the panic caused by the war, Chen Shao stipulated that the scene of every battle must be cleaned up immediately, especially in some cities, and it is necessary to pay more attention to the emotions of local residents, and there must be no large-scale panic. And Chen Shao also stipulates that the deceased must be put in a pocket and sealed, which is also to prevent the breeding of bacteria and avoid the occurrence of some diseases.
Almost an hour later, the entire NN city came out of the collapsed city walls, and it looked much cleaner than before the battle, if others didn't say it, outsiders would definitely not believe that there had just been a fierce battle here. At this time, many bold residents also began to slowly walk out of their homes and appear on the streets, and after a while, the whole NN City also began to be lively, and some people who knew each other were also fiercely discussing who would win the battle." Lao Li, who do you say won?" A middle-aged man asked another man next to him. It seems that the one who just shouted outside the city won, eh, Lao Zhang, you see, those soldiers' clothes look so strange, but they look quite majestic, and they are full of things, a lot of strange things, definitely not the soldiers under Li Cannon before." This man named Lao Li pointed to the patrol of a squad that had just walked by, and said to the man named Lao Zhang next to him that he seemed to be very curious about the combat uniforms of the People's Army, especially the bits and pieces hanging on the tactical backpacks on the soldiers' upper bodies. yes, did you just see that? Those strange big cars, they can also sweep the road, you don't know that I almost fell out of the window just now, "See, it's fresh enough, it can spray water to sweep the road, eh, you say, which warlord is this!" I haven't heard of it before."" Who knows, anyway, the artillery of several surrounding provinces is not such a strange thing, if it weren't for the fact that the soldiers were all Chinese, I thought it was a foreigner calling."" There were also a few strange iron cars just now, there were no wheels, but there were two rolling straps underneath, and an iron pipe stretched out from the car, which looked very hideous, and when it ran, there was a lot of movement, and the ground was still shaking."" Seriously, I've grown this big, and I haven't seen as many strange things as I do today?"
At this time, a young man with glasses next to him interjected: "I'll tell you, that iron box that can run, it's called a tank, what do foreigners call it, but I didn't expect that we have such a high-end thing in China, that thing can't be hit by a gun, people can sit inside and shoot outside, and the iron pipe on the car, which is the cannon barrel, can fire from a distance, and that cannon can penetrate the wall, which is very powerful. I read it in the newspapers, and there aren't many foreigners about it, and it doesn't look as good as we do." Hearing the conversation between the three of them, the people around them gradually gathered around. Hearing the young man's words, the people around him nodded in understanding. Housheng, how do you know?" I just came back from abroad, and I also read about it in foreign newspapers." The young man explained the problem of passers-by. In fact, he had a lot to say, he was more interested in the patrol soldiers who had just passed by, the soldiers' faces were filled with a kind of self-confidence and pride in their hearts, and there was a unique military temperament in these soldiers, in the United States he had seen a lot of American soldiers, but none of these soldiers gave him the kind of shock, so that he couldn't help but get close to understand them, at this time he made a decision in his heart, that is, to inquire where this army came from, he wanted to go there to have a good look.
This young man with glasses is called Qian Siqiang, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States and has just graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before returning to China, he swore that he would use great determination to change the fate of the Chinese nation with his knowledge. However, after he returned from the United States, he met many warlords, and when his requests to those warlords for development and imparting knowledge of their country's physics were constantly rejected, he was also completely disappointed in those warlords, and felt a burst of pain for the plight of his country, and his hopes for the future of the motherland gradually disappeared. When he inadvertently saw a job posting in the newspaper, he decided to go there and check it out, hoping not to disappoint himself when the time came. Because the content of the recruitment notice is related to his major, specifically: in order to set up China's own physics laboratory, Longteng Group hereby recruits various physics professionals from Guoguo, and at the same time serves as a physics lecturer at Zhonghua University, so as to make its own contribution to China's future physics cause. The company's address is: Qinghe Village, Huashi County, GX Province, and we hope that patriots from all over the country will come to join.
Officially saw this news, he will appear in NN City, planning to go to Huashi County the next day, but it is not the right time to come, just entered the city and met the war, fortunately he has found the inn, hid in the inn for a while, and waited for the gunners to stop, then walked out of the inn with other guests.
At this moment, a side three-wheeled motorcycle stopped next to the crowd, and a soldier walked down, took out a piece of red paper full of black letters and pasted it on the wall, and after pasting it, the soldier did not leave, but stood by the red paper and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are soldiers of the Chinese People's Army, please rest assured, our People's Army is the people's team, and it will never endanger your safety. Now that the battle is over, and NN City has been taken over by us, now the notice around me will give you an explanation, please don't crowd, read it out in front of you if you can't read, and if you can't read, I'll do it for you." At present, the Chinese People's Army has two hours of cultural study at night from the first time they enter the barracks, and in a few years, all the soldiers can read and write, and their education level is at least as high as that of graduating from primary school. This is also Chen Shao's handwriting, the army has a high level of education, in order to better use equipment, obey orders, but also let them understand what they are fighting for, in the future, with the Chinese People's Army of various new equipment equipment, there is no cultural foundation, to use it flexibly, it is not an easy task, ordinary soldiers, not to mention the aviation chariot and naval officers and soldiers, for these three arms, Chen Shao's requirements for their culture are higher.
At this time, Qian Siqiang squeezed into the crowd, walked to the side of the announcement and looked at it, after reading it, Qian Siqiang had greater hope for coming to Huashi County this time. Slowly calmed down, he turned to the citizens gathered in front of the notice and said, "Now I will read the above words to you:
Because the warlords of the Gui family headed by Li Zongren, regardless of the righteousness, raised swords in vain, and offended our Huashi County troops for no reason, after the careful decision of Chen Shao, the supreme commander of the Chinese People's Army of Huashi County, the county magistrate of Huashi County, the oppression of the Gui family was overthrown, which made the two sabers meet each other, and had many serious adverse effects on the people. All the residents of NN City can get ten catties of rice and ten cans of canned beef per family. Now that NN City has become my Chen Shao's jurisdiction, I will do a few things again: first, all the people in my jurisdiction can go to the Overseer's Mansion for free to receive high-yield grain seeds for the first time, and the seeds of the second year need to be exchanged for grain. Second, factories will be built around NN City, and all the people who come to work in my factory can also buy fertilizer at a discount, and enjoy the treatment of 2 oceans per month, and those with technical majors will also receive a salary increase. Thirdly, all the people under my rule will be given a free medical examination, and at that time, a temporary medical clinic will be opened next to the Overseer's Palace, and all common diseases will be treated free of charge until the medical examination is completed. Fourth, two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, will be built in NN City, and all children of age will be given free schooling, and all kinds of teachers will be welcome to apply.
This notice is hereby announced to reassure the people, and I hope you will help to publicize.
On March 3, 1921, Chen Shao, the magistrate of Huashi County and the supreme commander of the Chinese People's Army.
After listening to this, the surrounding residents immediately discussed, some believed, some did not believe, after all, how could there be a warlord who really did things for the boss's surname in these years, in their eyes, Chen Shao was also a warlord, a warlord did not take money to recruit troops, and engaged in so many facilities for the benefit of the people, which made the surname of the boss of the city a little unbelievable. But when truckloads of rice and cans stopped on the road and began to be distributed, everyone believed it, and under the organization of the soldiers, a long line formed to receive canned rice. This also makes the people feel that maybe the future will be better.
Qian Siqiang didn't go to get anything, he was not a local resident, and he couldn't get it if he wanted to, but his curiosity about the one in Huashi County swelled infinitely, and he was now eager to go to Huashi County to see this mysterious warlord immediately.
