Until the beginning of May, he stayed in Anshan Lake and personally took charge of the factory relocation.
A large project to relocate tens of thousands of people is really complicated and exhausting.
Fortunately, after the White Lotus Rebellion, the area in western Shandong was vast and sparsely populated, so it was very easy to relocate the factory. At least there will be no land acquisition or disturbance to residents, which has really reduced a lot of workload.
Also coming to Anshan Lake with the factory were the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division.
These two regiments will be the main force in the next operation.
At Liangshanji, Zuo Menggeng and the generals formulated an action plan.
"This time, our main goal is to drive the White Lotus Sect into the Yimeng Mountains. Therefore, I divided my troops into two groups, attacking from the east and west, and not giving the White Lotus Sect any space to ensure a smooth operation."
The terrain in Yimeng Mountain is very interesting.
Ordinary mountains are all in strips, stretching to both sides.
Although the Yimeng Mountain Area is divided into three north-south mountain ranges: Nishan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, and Yishan Mountain, in fact, if you look down from a high altitude, the entire Yimeng Mountain Area is not a strip, but a group.
Because the Taishan Mountain Area in the north is also part of the Yimeng Mountain Area.
This complex terrain of mountains, hills, and ravines divides Shandong into two parts.
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of forcing the White Lotus Sect into the Yimeng Mountains, it became a good strategy to advance from east to west.
For this operation, Zuo Mengeng planned to mobilize four regiments.
The 1st Regiment of the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment of the 2nd Division served as the western front troops, attacking Nishan from the directions of Jining and Qufu; the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division and the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division as the eastern group, first swept Qingzhou Prefecture, and then attacked from Laiwu and Yishui directions. Attack Yishan.
In addition, the cavalry regiment will also patrol around Teng County and Yizhou to prevent the White Lotus Sect from escaping south.
The First Division and the Second Regiment will also attack southward from Jinan and sweep through the Taishan Mountains, further oppressing the White Lotus Sect's living space in the Yimeng Mountains.
This was equivalent to putting most of the new army's troops in, leaving only a small number of troops to guard the home. When something happens to the imperial court, there will be no way to mobilize new troops.
The Western Front was the first place to take action, so Zuo Mengeng took charge here.
The eastern front was left to Mao Yuanyi. After he finished sweeping Qingzhou Prefecture, Zuo Mengeng went over to take over the attack in the mountainous area.
Zuo Menggeng even let go of the Taishan suppression operation of the First Division and Second Regiment, leaving it to Ji Conghua and Qiao Shuangcheng to take charge of themselves.
Watching the groups of soldiers marching south in full force, Zuo Mengeng was extremely satisfied, but he spoke to the people around him.
"You have been with me for many days. How are you? How do you feel?"
By his side, there were not only Fu Yusun, but also several young people.
Among them were Chen Zilong, Zuo Maodi, Shen Xun, Jiang Cai, Jiang Gai, Li Banghua's nephews Li Rixuan and Li Yuanding, and Huang Zongxi's two younger brothers Huang Zongyan and Huang Zonghui.
These are young talents who have been recruited recently, but they are still getting used to everything here, so they are not assigned to work, but are studying here and there.
The best place to learn is naturally around Zuo Mengeng.
Among these people, there are also priorities.
Zuo Maodi, Shen Xun, Jiang Cai, and Jiang Gai were earlier, and it can be clearly seen that their temperaments have changed a lot.
The scholarly aura that was originally sharp and brilliant has dissipated a lot, and there is a faint sense of simplicity in his body.
During this period of time, the fourth person from Zuo Mao was not idle, but wandered around, not only watching, but also practicing it himself.
Such changes can only occur after going through the hard work of practice.
Zuo Mengeng looked at Zuo Maodi.
This young man who was so impassioned and fought to defend the city now has a dark complexion and his hands are covered with calluses. If he hadn't looked so energetic, Zuo Mengeng would have suspected that he had been abused.
"What has Zhongji done recently?"
Zuo Maodi was indeed much more steady, and his speech was clear and meticulous.
"The students first watched politics in Zuozhuang, and were later sent by Chief Chen to Anshan Lake to work with General Manager Li (Li Qingshan). They really learned a lot about aquaculture."
No wonder I'm so tanned, I think I've been floating on the water a lot.
And this was the attitude of doing practical things, which made Zuo Mengeng very happy.
"What do you think?"
Zuo Maodi let out a long sigh.
"In the past, students always learned from books that it is not easy to think about everything they drink and eat. They thought they understood the hardships of the world. But in recent days, when I personally practiced it, I realized that the hardships were nothing. It can be seen that the knowledge in this world is No matter how good or incisive it is in books, you have to experience it yourself to understand its true meaning."
Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but applaud.
"People say that after three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. What Zhongji has done is a joy and congratulation."
Zuo Maodi waved his hands repeatedly and actually made the request.
"Take a seat, the student wants to stay with the breeding company. Manager Li and others are good at work, but the documentation, information, and technical organization are a bit poor. The student should be able to help."
Zuo Mengeng was even more satisfied with him.
"Then you stay."
In fact, he had already decided in his heart that after Zuo Maodi had been working hard in the breeding company for a period of time, he would transfer him to the government affairs class for training.
Only after passing the government affairs class can it be of great use.
"Come on, I want to stay in the army."
After Zuo Maodi, Shen Xun was also very proactive.
What makes him different from the others is that he always wears a military uniform.
When the Laiyang disciples came to Linqing, Zuo Menggeng allowed them to wander around regardless of their preferences.
As a result, all four of them found their favorite fields.
Zuo Maodi gave up impetuousness and now immersed himself in practical matters. Shen Xun, on the other hand, fell in love with the atmosphere of the army and felt at home in it.
Zuo Mengeng was naturally happy when someone wanted to join the new army.
"Then you have to start from the top."
Unexpectedly, Shen Xun burst into laughter.
"What the staff officer doesn't know is that my subordinate is already a squad leader. Chief of Staff Liu said that with a little more hard work, my subordinate will be able to serve as a company-level officer."
This time, Zuo Mengeng was surprised.
But think about it, Shen Xun is a great talent after all, and his cultural background is much higher than others.
In addition, he had fought in Laiyang City, so he had no shortage of experience. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and train, it is almost inevitable to stand out.
After looking at Shen Xun's transcript, Zuo Mengeng had nothing to say.
"Bai Xiaoqi..."
"arrive!"
Bai Xiaoqi, who was not far away, ran over quickly, but his face was very depressed.
"Reporting to the audience, I...I changed my name. My name is Bai Xiaoqi no longer, my name is Bai Qi now."
Zuo Mengeng waved his hand and didn't care.
"I know, Xiaoqi."
Bai Xiaoqi (Bai Qi)......
If you weren't older...
Zuo Mengeng didn't care about his psychological feelings at all. He pointed at Shen Xun and said: "From today on, he will be your soldier. He is a great talent. He is below the company level. You can make arrangements for him."
Bai Qi looked at the upright-looking Shen Xun, who was much better than the crooked melon cracking jujube in his group.
"Come with me. From now on, you will suffer."
Shen Xun practiced etiquette honestly.
"Yes, Captain."
Zuo Mengeng looked at the Jiang brothers again.
Jiang Cai and Jiang Gai were very honest and told the truth.
"Take a seat, my brother is not good at practical things, and I am really ashamed. All that we have learned in our lives is contained in words. I want to follow Nian Taigong and study the truth."
Zuo Mengeng was not dissatisfied.
Life is diverse, and naturally everyone has his or her own strengths. Never place incompetent people in unsuitable positions. That would be a waste of talent.
Besides, who says the realm of thought is unimportant?
"Of course, learning is equally important. Good knowledge can guide us in the direction of progress. I just hope that you two can always remember that any knowledge divorced from reality is just a castle in the air. You must immerse yourself in books, but you must also look at the world. .”
Jiang Cai and Jiang Gai were overjoyed and completely admired Zuo Mengeng. After repeatedly agreeing, he was already thinking about how to ask Liu Zongzhou for advice.
Among these people, the one Zuo Mengeng values most is Chen Zilong.
"Among all people, your knowledge is outstanding. However, what I value the most is farming. Major events in the world are unstable without farming. I also hope that you can put aside your glitz, focus on this way, and benefit the world."
Needless to say, Chen Zilong's literary talents are among the best even in Jiangnan.
However, the most indispensable thing in this era is literati.
On the contrary, businesses that benefit the people's livelihood in the world often wither and struggle.
Zuo Mengeng hopes to gain a Chen Zilong who can help people all over the world to have full stomachs, but it depends on his wishes.
Chen Zilong was very silent.
From a fundamental point of view, of course he prefers literary matters.
Once when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I was boating on the water with three or five friends, and poems flowed out like springs. I was really happy.
But in other words, if that was all, why would he break with Zhang Cai and others and follow Zuo Mengeng to Shandong?
In the final analysis, there is a trace of reluctance deep down in my heart.
Reluctant to let this world perish.
After coming to Shandong and following Zuo Menggeng for the past few days, Chen Zilong suddenly realized that the vitality of the world is contained in various factories, workshops and fields. Seeing the vigorous development of various industries.
If burying one's head in the soil can fill the world with fragrance, that would seem to be a good idea.
After thinking about this, Chen Zilong showed an open-minded smile.
"The students will go to Mr. Kang Yu for advice tomorrow."
