Xiao Ming arrived at Xingqing Mansion a few days later, Ningxia Autonomous Road is still prosperous, Cao Yi personally greeted Xiao Ming's army triumphantly, after nearly a year of campaigning, now the Great Song Dynasty Royal Tiger Guards are also full of dust, is in need of a good rest.

When Xiao Mingxi went to war, Cao according to the original plan, began to set up an entire industrial base in Ningxia Autonomous Province, and the material resources of the main industrial base of the Great Song Dynasty continued to pour into Ningxia Autonomous Province through the railway to support the construction here, including countless steel and building materials.

All kinds of industrial equipment were also shipped from all over the country, among which Mojia heavy machinery and steam boilers were relatively valuable equipment, and the assembly line of Richanglong's United Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which was specially used to produce steam tanks, was gradually transported.

In fact, Xingqing Mansion and Dingzhou and other places themselves have a good industrial base, when Xiao Ming was there, there were several mines and steel smelting workshops built, in addition, cement firing, glass production also have workshops, and some other small handicraft workshops are dotted and numerous, which are the results of Cao Zhi's vigorous development of industry and commerce.

However, the most important thing is that it is necessary to establish an arms production base in Ningxia Autonomous Province, so both the Hangzhou Arsenal and the Henan Arsenal need to provide support to Xingqing Province, not only a complete production line but also a large number of skilled workers and craftsmen, according to the plan, it is necessary to form an ammunition production line in Xingqing Province in the short term.

Not only the production of ammunition, but also the construction of weapons and equipment, but these needs lag behind the production of ammunition, at the same time, the manufacture of various military supplies, military uniforms, quilts, water bottles, buttons of military uniforms, grenade hanging bags and a series of other armament-related things need to be built in Xingqing Province A production base needs to be built.

The requirements of the arsenal are to be able to produce and assemble rifles simply, as for the production of artillery, because there are too many technologies involved, and the technical requirements for materials are also higher, it is still produced in several major bases in the south for the time being, but a production line capable of producing large-caliber mortars has been transported.

According to the actual division of the arsenal, mortars belong to the manufacture of small explosives and grenades and grenades, but in fact they are not a category at all, but because the production of mortars is relatively simple, as long as there is a professional craftsman to guide, the general mechanical workshop can be manufactured, but the manufacture of mortar shells is a troublesome matter, and it can make cannons but cannot make shells.

Fortunately, the overall planning of the whole country is a game of chess, and the necessary allocation can be done, and the northwest to the Western Regions and even the Western Liao Autonomous Province will not be too peaceful in the next ten years, and it is necessary to form a strong border defense army, fortunately, these places belong to the territory of the autonomous province, and the military department of the Great Song Dynasty does not need to bear the cost, otherwise it may not approve this military expansion plan.

The expansion of the army belongs to the expansion of the army, but with the current combat strength of the Great Song Army, maintaining too many troops will be a huge burden even for the autonomous provincial government, so according to Xiao Ming's requirements, first, the number of troops should not be too much, and each autonomous province only needs to maintain the staffing of two or three divisions.

That is to say, the five autonomous provinces in the northwest plus the Dali Yunnan Autonomous Province only need to form an armed force of 10 to 15 divisions, of which the West Liao Autonomous Province and the South Western Regions Province need three divisions because they are border and close to Tibet, and the Dali Yunnan Autonomous Province also needs the strength of three to four divisions to ensure that there is no worry about security.

Second, in the early stage of the formation of the army, the military department of the Great Song Dynasty can bear the cost of the army's weapons and equipment, but in the future, it will be completely solved by the autonomous provincial government itself, and these more than a dozen divisions have less than 200,000 people, and they need to be formed within three to five years, and the names are still divided according to the Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards, but they belong to the nature of the border guards.

The arsenal and ammunition factory built in Xingqing Province are to provide equipment for these troops, and not only that, but the large-scale development of military enterprises will also lead to the development of local industries, because the supporting needs of military factories are very large, and if orders are sent to the Central Plains or the south, it is certainly unrealistic, so it is better to buy them on the spot.

Not only that, but the news of the construction of an industrial base in Ningxia Autonomous Province also attracted a large number of large industrial and commercial enterprises in the Central Plains and other places, attracted by tax exemption and low taxes, built factories to recruit workers, and absorbed the rich labor force of the entire region.

There will not be so many restrictions on the employment of private factories, so there is a lot of freedom in recruiting workers, and even the Qiang people in the Qiang land have been recruited, and others such as some immigrants are also among them, which not only promotes the life of the local people, but also plays a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

The western part of China has been an economically backward area since ancient times, although the previous dynasties of the Tang Dynasty were built in Xi'an, but this was only due to the form of agricultural production at that time, out of Qinchuan 800 miles away, the more west the more impoverished, now Xiao Ming's policy does not know whether it will bring the opportunity for the rapid development of the entire western region.

Xiao Ming, accompanied by Cao Ju, inspected the construction of the entire industrial base, and he was very satisfied with the current situation, especially the several production lines of the arsenal are being installed rapidly, and it will not take long to start production, Dingzhou has a huge amount of coal and iron ore resources, which can provide absolutely reliable guarantee and support for the entire industrial base.

In fact, in addition to the large demand for iron and coal, the arsenal also has a large demand for miscanthus nitrate, and the Liupan Mountain on the east side of Dingzhou in Ningxia Autonomous Province, as well as the military division of Heishuiyan Town in Xiazhou and the northwest have a large number of miscanthus nitrate mines, and Cao Ju has already made arrangements, and a large amount of ore mining is already in progress.

Xiao Ming has been in Xingqing Mansion for more than half a month, and has been busy with Cao Zhi in the industrial base, and now he is almost a little eyebrows, he can't delay any longer, before leaving, Xiao Ming assessed the government leadership team of the entire Ningxia Autonomous Province, and it was his son Cao Zheng who succeeded Cao Zheng as the governor of the capital!

Because the original party of the Li dynasty has been separated, Cao according to this land for decades as an official is also quite loved by the local people, after Cao according was transferred to Nanjing, only Cao Zheng can take over his position, Cao Zheng is Cao Zheng's second son, upright but cautious is a conservative person, can not expect him to open up, but it is not yet the time to comprehensively reform the government and officials, and the autonomous province has formed a set of its own employment mechanism, Xiao Ming does not want to interfere too much.

The composition of officials is still relatively scientific, there are Han people, party members, and Liao people, which shows that Cao Zheng still has the virtue of tolerating people, so Xiao Ming is still more satisfied with him, the formation of an industrial base is Cao Zheng's important task, with Cao Zheng on the side to assist, I think it can be completed as soon as possible, father and son are united in their interests.

Xiao Ming can leave with confidence, before this 20,000 Tiger Guards have left Ningxia Autonomous Road by train to return to Nanjing, Xiao Ming was delayed because of something, but he didn't have to go back with the Tiger Guard, after all, the military vehicle is a special train, you can't stop it, if Xiao Ming wants to inspect something, everyone has to wait for him.

In fact, Xiao Ming is also waiting, he is waiting for the arrival of a special mechanical device, which is a special device specially designed and manufactured by the Mojia Machinery Manufacturing Factory, since the Mohist mechanism has been widely used in some special devices, the craftsmen of the Mohist family have undoubtedly been greatly encouraged, a large number of exquisite mechanisms have been invented, and have been applied in some important machines.

The original steam tank was a special kind of mechanical product, except that the main source of power was the steam boiler, many applications were due to the mechanical arts, and finally after that thing was changed into a "tractor", in addition to the power was strengthened, there were not many applications on the mechanism.

But the Mo craftsmen have a lot of whimsical ideas, and this time the mechanical device is another thing with a special effect, until the train transports this monster over, and the Mo craftsmen assemble it in front of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming can't figure out what this thing is!

According to the explanation of the Mo craftsman, Xiao Ming realized that this is actually a device that can help herders graze! The wheels underneath can run on all kinds of sloping grasslands, the robotic arms can drive sheep and cattle, there are shelves for shearing sheep and milking cows, and large nets can be cast to capture fleeing herds.

The main thing is that his own small boiler can not only provide power, but also raise and lower the cockpit of the car body to observe the changes in the grassland, and he also has six mechanical legs, which can be used to walk through the mechanism to cross the river, saying that he is a car and not like a car, like a mechanical horse and not like a horse!

After this thing was really operated by the Mo craftsmen, Xiao Ming found that the original six mechanical legs could be combined, and a single person could operate the two legs alone to run a ton of distances, just like an ostrich, of course, the Mo craftsmen had never seen an ostrich, but this kind of whimsy was indeed very shocking.

"What the hell is this thing for? Grazing? Xiao Ming asked.

The craftsman bowed down and replied: "Master Ding of the Mo family has invented a machine that uses fuel, and now this kind of fuel-burning power vehicles are being used in Hangzhou, the speed of the car is very fast, we still use steam power to drive this thing, but a lot of kinetic energy still comes from fuel power, in a large range of self-help pastures, this thing is completely able to let the herdsman put thousands of herds!" ”

"You mean machine grazing? Is it really possible? Xiao Ming asked in surprise.

"Taishi can choose a ranch and let us try it."

"Great!" Xiao Ming was very happy, with this thing, the nomads can settle in a place, as long as they help them control the pests and diseases of the grassland, a small grassland can completely allow many herdsmen to settle down, which also reduces their irregular migration, this is a cross-era invention device!

"Lord Cao, can you find a pasture pasture, let's try this thing?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it!" Cao Ji laughed.
