With the army in a defensive posture, the entire army conducted large-scale military training and continued to recruit troops. In just one month, a new regiment was formed.
At the same time, Zhang Yunhan began to vigorously develop people's livelihood.
With the support of the system, a large number of equipment and engineers began to enter Qingcheng. After Qingcheng, it was the largest city in Longdong, with a dense population, flat land, and fertile fields.
The General Headquarters issued an order. The first step was to build thermal power plants, mining plants, steel mills, engine plants, machinery processing plants, ammunition processing plants, oil refineries, soap factories, perfume factories, textile factories, and cigarette factories.
Heavy industry is fully controlled by the General Administration of Finance, which purchases coal from Shanxi Province and sends systematic surveying scholars to search for oil in Longdong. The government funds the construction of technical colleges and recruits handicraft apprentices. System engineers are responsible for training. The government subsidizes each trainee with a piece of ocean per month until Graduation. After graduation, each factory will recruit trainees.
The students are mainly young people. Of course, these students are not going to join the army.
The light industry will be 40% owned by the government with equipment and idle funds from society to set up factories. The government will not only have preferential policies for factories, but also be responsible for sales. After all, military clothing and cotton-padded clothes cannot all be produced by the system. Of course, at critical moments There is nothing wrong with relying on the system.
The second step is to establish Longdong University, which will teach agriculture, machinery, textiles, chemistry, economics and other subjects. The university will also organize night classes to educate people about illiteracy. University students will receive government subsidies during their studies.
The third step is to establish Longdong Military Academy to recruit local young elites. Zhang Yunhan will serve as the principal and will participate in military training with the first batch of trainees. After graduating from the military academy, cadets will be admitted by the Northwest Army Headquarters and assigned to companies and battalions for training. In the future, they will become regiment leaders and will be continuously promoted based on their military exploits. Students only need to pass the physical test and there is nothing else to worry about.
The fourth step is to establish Longdong Medical University and affiliated hospitals to teach traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Once students are admitted to the school, all necessary materials are supported by the government.
The fifth department, local militia groups, is responsible for assisting people in harvesting crops.
As soon as the decree came out, the whole Longdong was in a state of excitement. No one had ever been willing to carry out large-scale construction in the northwest, whether it was bandits, warlords, or the Qing army. Unexpectedly, after Commander-in-Chief Zhang occupied Longdong, the first thing he did was to carry out construction.
Some people thought that Zhang Yunhan was just talking big words, but when batches of equipment were transported by trucks to the selected sites, these people were also stunned by Zhang Yunhan's handiwork. People supported him one after another. The rich contributed money and the powerful contributed. The entire Longdong A wave of large-scale construction began.
Feng's troops were attacking central Henan at this time, and the garrison in Gansu Province had no intention of retaking the territory. Feng did not take Zhang Yunhan seriously. With his 300,000 troops, couldn't he win Longdong? The main direction at this time should be to advance eastward to prevent Feng's army from going south and join forces in the Central Plains.
At the end of May, good news came: oil fields were discovered in Changqing!
Zhang Yunhan was very happy after receiving the news, and immediately sent the machinery and equipment engineers who had been in place for a long time to start oil production.
Zhang Yunhan knew that if he wanted to move across the northwest in the future, he would have to use mechanized marching, and mechanized marching was inseparable from oil, not to mention road construction and airplanes, so he couldn't be slow.
At the end of May, under 24-hour non-stop construction, the steelmaking plant officially opened for business. Just 7 days later, the first piece of steel was smelted!
In mid-June, the first barrel of oil was successfully mined, and the first agricultural combine harvester left the factory! Within a few days, the first farm tractor rolled off the assembly line!
In the next two months, factories continued to be successfully built or production went smoothly.
Some people may be wondering, why so fast?
First, Zhang Yunhan focused all the biochemical people in May on industrial government affairs. The appearance of a large number of teachers, engineers, and technicians quickly drove the development of the industry.
Second, with the support of the government, the general public worked overtime in three batches to build the project. The government provided subsidies and the people supported it. When they heard that it was building a factory, they supported it one after another. The Ningxian County Consortium even donated money to build roads to support the construction.
Longdong Military Academy
Zhang Yunhan knew that all his generals could not be system soldiers. Although system soldiers were reliable, ordinary people had to join them. What would happen if he left the system? What should I do if the system crashes one day?
As a time traveler, Zhang Yunhan has never been a soldier, but he likes the military very much. The army of later generations is invincible. Why is it invincible? That is the support of the people, the strict discipline of the army, and the concerted efforts of the soldiers!
Longdong Military Academy
Zhang Yunhan started his own military training in another world without any privileges. Zhang Yunhan and the first batch of trainees ate, lived, trained together, and built barracks together. In daily training, he often led by example and took the lead. He was seriously injured several times, but the system actually rewarded him. After taking the recovery potion, not only was he not injured, but he was also stronger.
Zhang Yunhan's actions, such as not beating or scolding the soldiers and sharing the joys and sorrows, directly won the support of the students. Although he trained to death every day, with the help of the system, Zhang Yunhan did not feel tired at all. He personally checked the wards and covered the soldiers every night. After these behaviors were discovered by the soldiers, they all respected Zhang Yunhan even more. It is said that the warlord is a wolf, but his commander not only has a good relationship with the soldiers, but also develops people's livelihood and works for the people everywhere. The most respected thing among the men in the northwest is loyalty, so the soldiers train harder.
Every day is a 5-kilometer cross-country run with weights, 200 pull-ups, 300 push-ups, 10 100-meter sprints, and live-fire shooting.
Zhang Yunhan quickly mastered these basic skills and left the academy. Before leaving, the soldiers came to say goodbye one after another. They swore that they would fight for the commander-in-chief in the future.
In early June, Fengbu successfully joined Shangdu. At the same time, Yan Baichuan of Jin Province joined the revolutionary army and marched eastward to attack the Feng clique warlords.
However, Feng Bu did not intend to support Gan Province. In his opinion, Gan Province was barren and there was no need to occupy it. What's more, if Yuzhou was captured now, Lu Province would be to the east and Peiping to the north.
Therefore, they just sent someone to inform Suiyuan Ji Hongchang to send someone to support Zhang Weixi.
In mid-June, when the wheat matured, the headquarters ordered local militia groups to assist the people and put combine harvesters into use. As soon as it was invested, it aroused the attention of the people. The use of machinery greatly reduced labor costs.
The government issued a notice that machinery processing plants have just been established and have insufficient production capacity. Next year, each county is expected to be equipped with dozens of agricultural machinery to assist people in farming.
At the same time, Zhang Yunhan announced the establishment of the Northwest Autonomous Government. The first thing after its establishment was to continue to build factories, cement factories, firearms research institutes, lighter factories, and agricultural machinery factories.
