persuaded Yin Susu, which made Shen Shiming very excited, but at this time, he still did not rush into action, but rushed from Nanjing to Suzhou by car overnight, and personally found Zhang Wei, the commander of the Suzhou Military Region.

The Suzhou Military Region is one of the three major field military regions, also called the Third Military Region, in addition to the Suzhou Military Region, there is also a Jinan Military Region and a Beijing Military Region, which was originally established before the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to facilitate the command of the larger and larger Li family troops, after all, Li Yongji at that time, not only had the trump card of the elite army in his hands, but also many miscellaneous soldiers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, for various reasons, mainly to preserve the tradition, these names were still retained, but the scope of responsibility was slightly changed.

For example, the Beijing Military Region was originally responsible for dealing with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but with the fall of the Manchus and the submission of Korea, coupled with the fact that Russia ceded a large amount of land to China, the Beijing Military Region has changed from an offensive military region to a pioneering military region.

Why do you say pioneering military districts? This is because the jurisdiction of the Beijing Military Region is now too large, including the entire northeast, the entire Korean Peninsula, and the entire Eastern Siberia.

In these areas, except for North Korea and Northeast China, which are still somewhat inhabited, East Siberia is a vast and sparsely populated barren land, so the biggest function of the Beijing Military Region today is to find ways to protect local immigrants and let them open up wasteland in East Siberia in a smooth manner.

That's right, it is to open up the wasteland, Li Yongji did not let them develop the Great Northern Wilderness and turn the local area into farmland, but retained the original ecology of the local area, but let them develop Eastern Siberia to the north.

The so-called development of Eastern Siberia is not to let them farm, that kind of climate farming really has no future, and besides, the population of Chinese is not very large, less than 500 million. There are also high-yield crops, so instead of farming, let them build roads and mine, of which roads are mainly roads, and mining is mainly coal.

However, because the environment is too harsh, there are still no serious people to develop here, and most of the developers are criminals and prisoners, including the Manchus and Koreans who fought against the Imperial Army, as well as the Russians who were captured at the beginning. They were all sent here to build roads, build cities and mines, and because they were forced to work, they had to send troops to guard them, otherwise there would be problems.

In other words, the Beijing Military Region has now become the largest prison and labor camp in the empire, and as long as there are prisoners in the country, whether they are sentenced to death, life indefinite, or theft and robbery, as long as they commit a more serious crime, as long as the sentence exceeds three years. They were all sent here to open up the wasteland.

Because of this, in order to cooperate with the reclamation, the imperial government began to start a two-year strike hard operation in the direct jurisdiction, and many local governments in order to complete the task indicators. Even molesting women on the street was sent to the Northeast for labor reform, not to mention petty theft in fights.

So much so that two years later, the law and order in all parts of the central government were surprisingly good. No one dares to call themselves any more people in the rivers and lakes, and no one dares to collect protection money or anything, all those who do this. They were all arrested by the local police who were rewarded by the red-eyed indicators and sent to labor camps.

Let's talk about the Jinan Military Region, which was originally designed to deal with Henan, Shanxi, and other places, but later, with the advent of peace and the massive expansion of the National Defense Forces, the role of the Jinan Military Region in suppressing local areas has weakened considerably.

Later, when attacking the remnants of the Qing court and attacking Korea, the Beijing Military Region was the main force, while the Jinan Military Region was mainly responsible for attacking Mongolia.

At this time, Mongolia was very different from Manchuria, it should be said that the situation in the Northeast was very different, it was still relatively backward and primitive, there were no decent cities, and the Mongols were still mainly mobile, so it was relatively troublesome to clean up, and it took more time.

When the Qing court was completely destroyed, Wang Sanwu, the commander of the Jinan Military Region, was still leading people to clean up the local bandits in the Ordos area, or the Mongols rebelled against the armed forces.

Fortunately, after the destruction of Korea, the empire had more energy and manpower, and the domestic shape was relatively relaxed, so it could give Wang Sanwu more support.

Originally, at that time, Li Yongji wanted to transfer Wang Sanwu back, after all, all kinds of infrastructure in Mongolia are very rubbish, unless he has his golden finger and can transfer materials at any time, otherwise life is really not something ordinary people can live.

You must know that Wang Sanwu does not have a golden finger, and his logistics are all transported from the rear, so although he personally led the troops, the real offensive strength was less than 30,000, and all of them were cavalry, and if there were more, the logistics would be difficult.

Who knows, and I don't know if Wang Sanwu wants to make up for his merits, or if he really likes that kind of free and easy life, anyway, he doesn't agree to go back to Jinan or Nanjing, but to continue to lead troops to recruit.

According to Wang Sanwu's reply, it is rare to fight a few times in life, he is still young now, and he can afford it, so he must take advantage of this time to completely conquer Mongolia and expand the territory for the empire, at least to completely convince the Mongols, and to see the scenery of Beihai (Lake Baikal), to be a dynasty to go to the sick!

In this way, Wang Sanwu stayed in Ulaanbaatar with the 30,000 Praetorian Guards, and kept fighting, fighting, completely with an iron-blooded and merciless style, and really beat the local Mongols without any temper.

The most powerful time, Wang Sanwu with 10,000 people, dared to face 100,000 (imaginary number, just like Cao Cao's million army, in fact, less than 50,000) Mongolian cavalry, as a result, 100,000 Mongols were defeated and lost, and the casualties of Wang Sanwu's troops were less than 100.

After that time, Wang Sanwu became famous in the local area, and the Mongols were afraid of this killing god, and at this time, Wang Sanwu began to Huairou, while recruiting the Mongols as soldiers, and promulgating the Huairou policy that Li Yongji had given him a long time ago.

The so-called Huairou policy is, simply put, nothing more than two policies: trade and road construction.

Naturally, trade was to open up supplies of ironware, salt, cloth, tea and other materials to Mongolia, to purchase wool, cow and sheep milk and beef and mutton in Mongolia, and even to set up canning factories, dairies and woolen factories in the local area.

This policy was naturally very popular with the local herders, and the imperial government was also responsible for building roads and cities, that is, building several large cities in Mongolia, using these large cities as the center, so that the herders could settle down in the cities and live a better life.

However, if you want to build a city, you have to build roads in the county. Therefore, soon the rear stopped the 200,000 road repair army and began the mighty road repair project.

Later, the Chinese Empire went to war with the Russians, and Wang Sanwu began to reorganize his armaments in Ulaanbaatar, so he planned to fight the Russians.

Who knew that the Russians did not have the idea of sending troops to fight them by land, but attacked from the sea.

However, the naval attack was not fought, and it was killed by the Chinese Imperial Navy, and was forced to cede a large territory to China.

Since then, Wang Sanwu has simply become a tourist, patrolling around with 30,000 cavalry. It can be said that he is patrolling and suppressing bandits, but in fact he is looking for people to fight, and it can be said that he has gone all the way to fight all the way, and as the scope of his activities has become wider and wider, the scope of the Jinan Military Region's jurisdiction has also become wider and wider, and it can be said that the entire Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Mongolia, a large area of territory in the central and western regions, can be regarded as the scope of the Jinan Military Region, and purely in terms of scope, it is not inferior to the Beijing Military Region at all.

But. Wang Sanwu likes to fight and doesn't like construction, so he wanders around with troops all day long, going wherever there is a war. As for arranging for people to open up the wasteland to grow grain, or arranging for resettlement with the local government, the chief of staff of the military region is in charge.

At the time of the Wang Tianer incident in Yangzhou, Wang Sanwu had just arrived in Kashgar with his troops. And just after a fight with the rebels, the heads of the people killed are rolling, ready to continue the attack. It is necessary to thoroughly eradicate the local Huihui rebellion.

Because of this, he basically didn't know about the affairs in the east and didn't care about it, but although Wang Sanwu himself was far away in Kashgar, Shen Shiming never dared to despise Wang Sanwu himself and the Jinan Military Region under his jurisdiction.

After all, the imperial army has popularized radio communications, even if Wang Sanwu is in Kashgar, he can also remotely control the Jinan Military Region, so if there is anything wrong, he will come forward in person, it will be difficult to do, after all, Wang Sanwu's face is not something ordinary people can afford.

You must know that Wang Sanwu is not only one of the commanders of the three ace military regions, but also Li Yongji's own uncle, Wang Tianzhong's own son, and a proper imperial prince, and it is this Wang family that Shen Shiming wants to deal with, so he must prepare in advance.

Shen Shiming carefully analyzed that although Wang Sanwu has a free and easy personality, it is absolutely impossible to get him to support him, and he can burn high incense without helping each other.

As for Zhou Da, commander of the Beijing Military Region, this guy is a typical opportunist, the kind who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle, and it is unrealistic to ask him to support himself in the current situation where the situation is unknown.

In the end, only Zhang Wei, commander of the Suzhou Military Region, remained, which was also Shen Shiming's greatest hope and reliance.

Compared with the Beijing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, the scope of jurisdiction of this military region is not large, and it can be said that it is the smallest one.

The reason for this is that the Suzhou Military Region lacks targets for attack, because the area south of the Yangtze River ruled by the Suzhou Military Region is all autonomous provinces, which are theoretically imperial territories, and only temporarily implement some more independent autonomy policies.

It is precisely because of this, and because it is in the most prosperous central area of the empire, that the Suzhou Military Region does not have those messy tasks such as opening up the territory, so it can train troops with peace of mind, so in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not inferior to the other two military regions, and even because the navy is also here, and the supply is more sufficient, the comprehensive combat effectiveness is slightly stronger.

In short, the Suzhou Military Region is more like a capital defense force, theoretically speaking, and the other two military regions are directly under the emperor's orders, but because it is very close to the imperial capital, and the emperor went to North America, some things do not need to go through the emperor, Zhang Wei can make arrangements by himself.

When Li Yongji left his wife and children to go to Los Angeles, in order to reassure his wife and the stability of the center, he specially summoned Zhang Wei to come over, and in front of his wife Yin Susu and Prime Minister Shen Shiming, told them of their own decision, and asked them to cooperate sincerely, and be sure to stabilize the center of the empire during Li Yongji's absence, and not make a little mess.

The reason why Zhang Wei came to him, instead of asking the Minister of National Defense, was because he didn't look at the large number of national defense forces, more than one million, but they were scattered in various places, and there were not many troops stationed in the Jiangnan area.

Moreover, most of the weapons of the National Defense Forces are old-fashioned weapons, which are completely incomparable with the units of the Suzhou Military Region, which completely outburst the National Defense Forces in terms of equipment and training. So as long as the Suzhou Military Region is fine, the entire Jiangnan will be fine, Jiangnan will be fine, and the entire empire will be fine.

You must know that since the development of the empire, almost ninety percent of the industry, as well as seventy percent of the agriculture, are in the Jiangnan region, which can be said to be the real essence of the empire, and several other provinces directly under the central government. Almost all of them rely on blood transfusion in the Jiangnan area to develop.

Of course, although the Jiangnan area is now being transfused, it is not a bad thing, because this is all an upfront investment, as long as other places complete the relevant construction projects, the return is also considerable.

In short, with the current situation of the empire, the Jiangnan region is the most dynamic and the place where the common agriculture and commerce are developing the most rapidly. In other regions, it is more likely to be driven by large-scale infrastructure projects, and at most by redeveloping agriculture and commerce, the most critical industries. It is not in the plan, at least not in the first five-year plan in the early stage.

The reason why this is the case is because industry, unlike agriculture, wants to develop greatly. Not only do you need to have a good infrastructure, but you also need to have a large number of industrial workers, and these two conditions are different. At present, in China, only the Jiangnan region is barely qualified.

In fact, in the entire Jiangnan region today, only a few places have formed an industrial system, such as the Ma'anshan industrial system, the 110 Special Economic Zone, etc., which was only created by Li Yongji's crazy golden finger, and there are no conditions for development in other places.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yongji organized personnel to build infrastructure on a large scale, building roads, bridges, and houses, so that not only can the infrastructure be repaired, but also industrial workers can be trained in the infrastructure.

You must know that although most of these migrant workers are peasants at their roots, when they are organized to become peasant workers, they are no longer peasants, but workers.

As for the difference between workers and peasants, Li Yongji believes that everything else is false, and the most important point is that workers are more organized and disciplined, and can get used to organized production, while traditional peasants without training and experience cannot do this.

In short, Zhang Wei is the person Li Yongjite was told to, and the purpose is to let him cooperate well with the State Council and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stabilize the entire Jiangnan region, so Zhang Wei is theoretically the best to speak.

Or it needs to be said that it is just to deal with a Wang Tianer and the small group to which he belongs, even if he wants to follow the vine and use it as a breakthrough point to use the topic to implicate him, it seems that there is a bit of a fuss, wouldn't it be good to rely on the police and the national defense force alone?

If you think so, it's wrong, and it's outrageously wrong!

Due to Li Yongji's original frenzied brushing of the golden finger, laid a good foundation for the Ma'anshan Industrial Complex and the 110 Special Economic Zone, and now after so long, thanks to a full set of technical information and a number of imported equipment, many places in the Ma'anshan Industrial Complex have made breakthroughs, and they have been able to produce their own hydraulic presses, generators, machine tools and high-power steam engines.

Because it was able to produce a lot of equipment by itself, the arsenal continued to expand in the past two years by repeatedly investing in the construction of factories, coupled with the original production capacity, the speed of production of weapons skyrocketed, such as the Hua 2 rifle, by 1863, it had reached a terrifying scale of 300,000 pieces per month.

The production capacity of guns began to skyrocket, but the demand for the army was not so large, and the export of this thing was restricted, so a large number of guns began to flow into the people, and most of the guns that flowed into the people were bought by those businesses with the name of the emperor and used to arm those enterprises.

Maybe I have to say, now that there is peace in the country, why buy so many guns to form a corporate armament? As mentioned earlier, in addition to security issues, the biggest feature of forming an enterprise armed force is to highlight its status, because whoever has more armed guards and better weapons now means that your strength is stronger.

Therefore, between the business and the business, now there is no more money than whomever has more guns, especially more guns!

After all, although the arsenal has reached the scale of producing 300,000 guns per month, there are still a few that can be bought, after all, this thing is a standard weapon, and ordinary civilians are not allowed to have it, so they can buy these guns, especially artillery, which is itself a symbol of power.

The Wang family is a big family, and the relatives of the Wang family are innumerable, plus the related families, in the entire Wang family's industry, there are more than 300,000 armed guards hired, and the guns are complete, plus they are all mercenaries, and the comprehensive level is slightly higher than that of the national defense army.

That Wang Tianer's family dared to openly oppose the police, and it was difficult to ensure that the national defense force could be effective, so it was best to say hello to Zhang Wei in advance and let Zhang Wei send a Praetorian Guard to suppress the formation.

The Praetorian Guard is different from the Wehrmacht, even if the number of the Praetorian Guard is small, it also represents the will of the emperor himself, so any act against the Praetorian Guard is almost equivalent to rebellion, even if the people of the Wang family do not dare to go against the Praetorian Guard, so the Praetorian Guard is the tiger skin of the Wehrmacht, and the Wehrmacht is to rely on the Praetorian Guard to go to the fox and fake the tiger.

Of course, if you really fight, you don't need the Praetorian Guards, and the Wehrmacht in Nanjing can completely defeat those armed soldiers, the difference in numbers is too great, and the Wehrmacht can quickly concentrate, but those armed soldiers who belong to various business names cannot, and they can completely break through each one.

Moreover, the Wehrmacht is also a representative of the government, and opposing the Wehrmacht is actually no different from a rebellion, but it involves a royal family, and they still have a little courage and hope that power is greater than law.

Therefore, the so-called suppression of the formation is just a good word, and the real purpose of Shen Shiming asking Zhang Wei to send troops to suppress the formation is to let the Praetorian Guards be witnesses, and the Praetorian Guards and the National Defense Army appear together, which can also make others believe that the Praetorian Guards are on their side.

In this way, it will give people the illusion that it is the emperor's intention to hit the Wang family's industry, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In the final analysis, this is still a fox and a fake tiger, but the tiger that relies on is not the Praetorian Guard, but the real backstage behind the Praetorian Guard - the emperor himself! (To be continued......) R1292
