February 6, 191o A.D., Neijiang.

"The comrades of the navy are very good this time, and they are very good, far exceeding my expectations......" Wen Deji said with a smile on his face: "It seems that in this era, it is still the diplomacy of giant ships and cannons that is the most convincing, hahahaha......"

"Mr. Wen, don't just praise the navy, the 6th Army and the Air Force are also ......doing well," said Gu Xiaoyuan, military secretary, "The 6th Army also took over Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia last month, and asked Japan to recognize the issue of the ownership of the islands. The Air Force also contributed a lot to the 6th Army in recovering these areas. If it weren't for their assault airborne landing on Ili, Yang Zengxin's guy wouldn't have surrendered so honestly......"

"Of course, the tables of the three armies are good. Wen Desi smiled, and then asked, "What is Lao Zhao's opinion on governing the northwest...... Uh, I shouldn't have asked. Then sue him, don't kill the rebellion you caught, the labor camp still needs a lot of labor. ”

After gaining power in the central government, Wen Desi quickly fulfilled his original promise to Zhao Erfeng, and in March last year, he was appointed commander of the newly formed Northwest Military Region, promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the Sixth Army, and concurrently served as the governor of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia provinces, in charge of military operations in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia provinces. (Note that the Ningxia Province of the original plane was divided by the Beiyang government, which was much larger than the Ningxia of the Red Dynasty, because Mr. Wen also felt that the Ningxia divided by the Red Dynasty in later generations was not very reasonable, so he followed the division of Beiyang and did not change.) ）

After Lao Zhao received this appointment, he happily took office.

Because of the special situation and the complex and harsh environment in the northwest region, the territory is vast, the local extremist and separatist forces are very strong, the central ruling force has always been very weak here, and there are also foreign powers watching over them. Therefore, the military strength of the Northwest Military Region is quite strong, with a total of 6 divisions of the first type, namely: the 13th Pei Pei Chang Xie Yue, the 13th Division Pei Chang Luo Changqi, the 19th Division Pei Chang Bi Luhai, the 2nd Pei Changer Baxing), and the 2nd Pei Pei Chang Li Liejun). 2 B divisions: the 1st O Pei Pei Chang Rosewood) and the 1 O Pei Pei Chang Wang Yu Tao). and the 13th Mixed Brigade (Brigade Commander Bian Zhenkan) and the 14th Mixed Brigade (Brigade Commander Wen Xiaome), a total of seven divisions and two brigades, with a total strength of 18. 20,000 people. The Air Force also has six fighter wings and two airship wings stationed here.

Because of the problem of transportation capacity, these troops have not been in place at one time, and at present, Lao Zhao has five A divisions and two mixed brigades, as well as one wing of the Air Force. But these armies are enough for him. Some time ago, Lao Zhao also went to Wuchang's Zhong** University for a half-year advanced command course, plus he already had a talent in this area, and after he graduated, he also had a deeper understanding of modern warfare, plus he was equipped with enough political commissars and staff officers to assist, and there was no problem in commanding a modern army.

With the cooperation of the Air Force, he annihilated hundreds of bandits, extremist forces and rebels of all sizes along the way. The hostile elements were slaughtered to the ground, and rivers of blood flowed, and the scene of pacifying Tibet was once again repeated in the northwestern region.

Especially Luo Changqi's 13th Division is most familiar with this kind of thing. Many of the main personnel of this army reorganized from the original eighteen towns are "liberation fighters", and they are Zhao Erfeng's old subordinates who pacified Tibet, and this kind of work is naturally very handy, and many local famous families who have been inherited for hundreds of years have been raided by them, and all the personnel have been arrested, and all adult men have been cut down, and women and children have been handed over to the troops behind to deal with. The skillful Cheng dù of stealing people made the other brother troops stunned.

Regarding the doubts of the brother troops, Luo Changqi, the commander of the 13th Division, said that since they became PLA troops, their methods have been much gentler than before, and if it was before, these rebel families would not even have a single person left.

Some officers did not agree with this approach, so they reported it to Mr. Wen. When Wen Deji learned about it, he did not punish Zhao Erfeng and the 13th Division in any substance, but only reprimanded them in the order, saying that their actions were not effective. Let them "kill less people and reform through labor" for those rebels in the future, after all, labor can create value, and the dead will not work.

However, by this time, the population of the northwest region had been reduced by almost one-fifth, and all the reactionaries and bandits who participated in the rebellion were basically cut down by Lao Zhao, and the few remaining and the families of the hostile elements were sent to labor camps to undergo labor reform. In the Republic of China period of the original time and space, there were a lot of moths, and this horse and that horse are gone. It can be said that these northwest warlords were directly strangled in the cradle by Lao Zhao.

Under Zhao Erfeng's iron-blooded method of cutting through the chaos with a quick knife, in less than half a year, all the rebellious forces in the northwest were swept away by the plough, and the foreign forces who were watching were also ruthlessly driven out. The name of "Zhao Butcher" once again resounded throughout the country. Different from the original time and space, now when people talk about "Zhao Butcher", they all say that he is a "contemporary class" and "Gonggai Zuo Jigao". Compared with the infamy of "slaughtering the revolutionary masses" in the original time and space, it is simply a world of difference.

However, to be honest, with Lao Zhao's consistent style, his massacre was really not only aimed at the "revolutionary masses", but always did. The nickname "Zhao Butcher" was given when he was a Yongning Taoist. At that time, the "Dragon Society" (a branch of the Elders' Association) and the "Chenghui" in southern Sichuan had a large-scale gang fight, and the "Dragon Society" was dissatisfied with the results of the government's handling, and finally announced the uprising under the leadership of Peng Youzhang and Peng Qingcheng brothers, and the Peng brothers called themselves "Peng Nan Wang" and killed the officials and rebelled. Zhao Erfeng went to suppress it and almost wiped out the dynamic social organization of the "Dragon Society". Not only that, Zhao Daotai also ordered a search of the mountains, and all the ravines, caves, forests, and grasses were searched upside down, as long as they were related to the "Dragon Society", regardless of men, women, and children, they would be killed if they were caught. As for Tibet on the Sichuan side, not to mention.

Anyway, according to Lao Zhao's own words, it is: "To solve the problem in the northwest, I don't have the ability, but I can eliminate the problem." ”

Wen Desi frowned and said, "I want to explain to Lao Zhao that although his method alone is also very effective, it can only reduce the number of enemies, but it cannot strengthen himself." Now that the overall situation in the northwest has been stabilized, it is necessary for him to cooperate well with Comrade Bai Siwen and Comrade Ma Ji of the General Administration of Religious Affairs to carry out the 'Tianshan Plan' and the 'Green Ridge Plan'. These two plans are the most efficient solution, and when they are completed, the Northwest will become completely our own power. ”

Mr. Wen also knew very well that with the situation over there, it would still be difficult to succeed if the Tianshan Plan was carried out directly, because the local radical reactionary forces were very strong and almost all of them controlled the grassroots. If he didn't kill him first and destroy the original power organization, the new religion wouldn't work there at all, so he would send Lao Zhao over. It is necessary to show its authority first, and then to be soft, and in the future, it is necessary to apply both soft and hard, and a thorough change in culture is the king's way, and the appeasement policy of blindly compromise, concession, and bribery is absolutely unsuccessful.

Outer Mongolia, the city of buying and selling.

The city was an important city on the border between China and Russia in the Qing Dynasty, located south of the Kyakhta River, and across the river was the Russian city of Kyakhta. On September 1, 172 (the fifth year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty), Tsarist Russia and the Qing government signed the "Treaty of Liansiqi" here, which was called the "Treaty of Kyakhta" in Russia. According to the provisions of the treaty, the two countries are bounded by the Kyakhta River, the old market street of Kyakhta in Hebei Province is assigned to Russia, and the Qing Dynasty built a new town in Altan Prague in Henan Province as a Sino-Russian trading place, and the Han name is "Trading City".

Until the middle of the 19th century, the city was the largest Sino-Russian trade hub, with an annual turnover of more than 1.60 million US dollars, accounting for 152 of China's total import and export value, Russia became China's second largest trading partner after Britain. After the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Tianjin, the place of trade was shifted to Heilongjiang, where the volume of trade fell sharply and began to decline. When the Trans-Siberian Railway was opened, it was completely finished.

Today, you can only see the prosperity of those days from the many houses, wide streets and vast freight yards in the area.

Since last month, the trading city, which has been dormant for many years, has begun to be lively again. It's just that it's not businessmen who come, it's soldiers. In January 191o, the 3rd Division of the 6th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army officially entered the city. The officers and men braved the severe cold to build the prefabricated houses and at the same time used building materials to urgently rebuild and repair the original abandoned houses and transform them into barracks.

After a non-commissioned officer put together a piece of room, he said depressedly: "Battalion commander, it's really cold here, your nose is going to freeze...... "He is a southerner, and he really can't do anything about this climate." Fortunately, the design of the prefabricated house for the cold zone provided at the rear is very scientific, and all parts are modular, and the installation is extremely simple, just like building blocks. Even 4 novices can build a 15o square meter house in just one time.

"Yes, it's much colder than my hometown of Tangshan. Yi Damao nodded, although he was a northerner, he couldn't bear the low temperature here. He spoke, and his men did not stop, and with three strokes and two strokes, the last piece of the roof was fixed with a screw.

"Alright, this house is done, immediately connect the heating pipes and try ......"

The heating pipes, which were covered with insulation, were quickly connected, and the whole room warmed up as the hot steam entered.

Yi Damao took off his cold-proof hat and said happily: "Hahaha, fortunately, our troops are thoughtful, not only have special tents for the cold zone, but also have this kind of prefabricated house." If we didn't have these, we wouldn't have been able to handle it. In the past, when I was in Tangshan, as long as it was winter, there would be people freezing to death every year, let alone the colder side......"

A second lieutenant said: "Yes, I still think that kind of boiler car is really magical, it can follow our new army, it can supply boiling water as soon as it stops, and it can be used as heating when it is connected to the pipe." I never thought there would be such a good thing, our engineers are amazing......"

The non-commissioned officer just now also said: "Battalion commander, speaking of which, our Third Division can be regarded as going south and north, from the hottest Guangdong to the coldest Outer Mongolia, there are good things." When we were in Guangdong, we had air conditioning, and when we arrived in Mongolia, there was heating. I don't think the foreign devil's army is as good as ours......"

"Then we don't need to say, our Chinese technology is leveraged, look at those airships outside, except for us, which country has?" Yi Damao said proudly

Everyone commented on the cold zone equipment for a while, and then began to talk about this mission.

Yi Damao said: "This time, our mission is to guard against the old Maozi on the other side, and everyone can't be careless." The superiors have already said that this old Maozi has very strong combat effectiveness, which is not comparable to the Qing army and the Beiyang army that we fought before. If there is a fight, everyone must ...... carefully."

"These old hairy people are really not fucking things, their territory is big enough, and they want to stretch their claws to our China. The lieutenant said indignantly.

"It's not just the old Maozi, the Oriental devil is not a thing......"

"It doesn't matter if he's an old man or a little devil, as long as they dare to stretch out their claws, we'll chop it up. Hmph, our new China is not the kind of waste of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and those who want to treat our China as fat must be prepared to be broken and lose their teeth. Yi Damao said viciously.

Everyone was talking enthusiastically, and the battalion correspondent came over: "The battalion commander, the division political commissar is looking for you and wants you to go to the division and political ......department immediately."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Yi Damao nodded, turned to his subordinates and said, "Brothers, you are resting for a while, and then continue, today we will also decorate the remaining houses." In addition, the tent is not busy dismantling, in case the house is not enough to live in, it is easy to live inside. ”
