Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Seven. Divine Power
According to Mr. Zhu Kezhen's research, from 1640 to 1644, it was the coldest era in the Little Ice Age of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The 13th year of Chongzhen, that is, 1639, was another turning point in natural disasters. The center of the disaster began to move south, the Huaihe River flooded for a generation, and snow began to fall in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. Droughts in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other north reached their peak. Since then, there have been severe droughts that followed for several consecutive years.
But what is amazing is that extreme weather moves southward, and disasters in the far north and Liaodong have been alleviated a little.
This year, the climate in Heilongjiang has become a little stable. Although it is still dozens of degrees below zero, it is said that the elderly who immigrated last year have become much more comfortable this year.
And even if it is cold, the coal stove in the room trips with yellow mud and makes it buzzing. The iron kettle above emits a whimpering heat, the hot kang is hot, and the cotton inside the cotton coat is so tight that it is probably not possible to put a phone in later generations. It is much warmer than the inner wall.
The most important thing is that you can have enough food here, 500,000 immigrants to farm, reclaim paddy fields and dry fields, and produce millions of stones of grain. You should know that the Ming Dynasty and hidden fields were only eight million hectares, and the number of reclaimed land was about one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty. In the later years, there were as many as 240 million mu of arable land in Heilongjiang. Now Mao Jue has not even developed a small half, but there is a lot of room for development.
It was only snowing heavily yesterday. This morning, hundreds of family members of the factory workers started working together, sweeping away the thick snow shells and exposing the dark and shiny rails inside.
After staying in Heilongjiang for more than half a year, Sun Chuanting actually got used to it. He had a big animal hide hat on his head and his ears rolled down to cover most of his face. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket, a typical Guandong style. He was fooled. Anyway, he listened to the local supervisor in exile and became an official without any trouble. At this moment, he was raising a belly that was a little fat, and he started to gesture like a cadre there.
"The rails must be cleaned up. Now, if you come to inspect the above, you must not make any mistakes!"
"I understand, factory director!"
Listeningly, the director of the workshop below, another unlucky guy, Wu Aheng personally waved his broom while agreeing.
This guy is unknown in history, and Mao Jue didn't know that he didn't have the treatment of Sun Chuanting. He was criticized for more than three months and dug up coal for him like an African black uncle, and lost his temper.
It was not until a month after Sun Chuanting took office that the factory was too short of accounting, and those with diplomas were searching for people who read and read among workers, and then he was dug out.
The governor of Shaanxi Province has worked for Mao Jue. Wu Aheng has many kidneys. The eldest girl is so slutty, but she finally left the mountain. Without Mao Jue's knowledge, she has an additional governor of Ji Town under her command.
After all, it was the Governor of Ji Town, and it was easy to manage a few workers. Under his dispatch, the snow in the factory soon saw the bottom. It seemed that it was almost done. Sun Chuanting then hugged his arm and waited at the entrance of the factory.
To be honest, compared with the governor of Shaanxi, the power of a small factory in Dongjiang is almost the same as that of a small factory in the sky and the ground. In the hands of the governor, all the life, death, appointment and removal of seventh-rank officials are in their hands. However, as the director, there is no right to appoint a director, and he needs to report to the upward trend.
However, Sun Chuanting has lived the most down-to-earth half year in the past six months. He doesn’t have to wait for the crazy peasant army at any time, and he doesn’t have to worry about how the emperor has suddenly had a sudden idea. Although there are no conflicts in this coal mine, it’s just who can do more and which class should have a few more days off. The salary is the same, and there are not so many unspoken rules. It is very comfortable and relaxing.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to simple! This past six months have made Sun Chuanting comfortable, but suddenly he heard that he was going to inspect, which made him so nervous that he was as nervous as the palace examination that year.
There was still a little snow in the sky, and it was so foggy that I couldn't see it too far. While waiting in unbearable, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but hold his gloves in front of his face and sip hot air, which turned into frost and snow on his beard.
This kung fu, a slight vibration came. After all, after a long battle, Sun Chuanting immediately stopped and lay down suddenly, and his ear was pressed on the ground.
The one who came was definitely a heavy guy, but the vibration didn't seem to be much, and there was a strange roar coming. In the snow mist, a lonely lamp faintly flashed, and then a huge stream of black smoke rushed straight to the sunny day.
What kind of monster is this? I couldn't help but stand up straight. Sun Chuanting looked at it in shock. The huge monster was like a rhinoceros rushing around. The thick snow splashed and separated in front of the steel triangle in front. The huge and dark metal face was covered with a thick layer of frost. The huge steel guy rushed into his eyes with an irresistible impact.
It almost became the first train accident in history. It was not until it rushed to more than ten meters in front of him that Sun Chuanting suddenly came to his senses, rolled and crawled away from the rails, and looked at the steel monsters. The other coal mine production directors who were greeting were also stunned. Until they entered the factory station more than ten meters, the brakes were suddenly pulled up, and the wheels grinded violent sparks on the rails, which made them wake up as if they were dreaming.
"This is, the locomotive has been built!"
Some old men in Dongjiang shouted in surprise.
In fact, Dongjiang has this thing for a long time. All the mines pull out of the mines are steam engines, but these small-power steam engines can only pull more than a few hundred and one thousand kilograms. For example, today's one is almost ten meters long, and the front seven meters are all steam units and boilers. The horse-drawn train can pull three carriages and 300 people on the top of the carriages. And it is also affected by the images of bad weather. This huge steel guy pulled twelve carriages. As he shouted, a regiment of Dongjiang troops rushed down from each carriage with bayonet flintlock rifles, and then pulled the cordon up.
In the second carriage, a soldier got off the car and immediately picked up an umbrella. Then, he wore a black sable hat, a plush neck-protected black leather boots, and a young man like a young man in a TV series in the Republic of China strode down.
Until now, he has not woken up from the shock of this huge guy. Sun Chuanting subconsciously muttered.
"There is this weapon! One day gathers 100,000 troops and 100,000 meters of grain. Where can I do it in the world!"
"Ha, have vision!"
Just for this thing, the trip to Japan, which was supposed to be departing this fall, was pushed to the beginning of next spring by Mao Jue. With this heavy-weight locomotive, the vast and empty land of Heilongjiang will no longer be a problem for Dongjiang. The resources in the mainland will be continuously exported here as the railway extends, making Dongjiang's development faster, especially its military role.
Once an invasion occurs in the foreign land, relying on the railway, Mao Jue can transport the main force and people and cannons to any point along the railway in just a few days, forming the strongest fist in a short time, and even the maneuver of the Mongolian cavalry will be overshadowed in front of Dongjiang.
But what made Sun Chuanting speechless was that Mao Jue walked to him carelessly and hooked his neck very skillfully.
"Xiao Sun, it's not bad! It's worthy of being a high-ranking official who was sent to the court! It's a pity just with this vision!"
Xiao Sun?
Even if he was old enough to be Mao Jue's father, Guan'er might not be much younger than Mao Jue. If he hadn't had the title of Liaodong Supervisor, he would have captured a lot of subordinates at this level! Sun Chuanting was so angry that he heard this little Sun.
However, he was a senior official and was now an exiled prisoner, and even though he was thrusting Sun Chuanting into the corner of his mouth, he could only let Mao Jue walk in with his neck in his official voice.
"Your 19th factory is the top priority in Dongjiang. The heating and transportation of the entire Heilongjiang border town depends on it. You must be active and steady, be brave in practice, focus on efficiency, strive to make the company bigger and stronger, and become the leading industry in Heilongjiang!"
"As for orders, Mr...."
When did the younger generation teach such a lesson? Sun Chuanting's smiling face was like a crying example, but the other directors and employees of the 19th Factory were envious and their eyes were almost glaring out.
It turns out that the factory manager of his own is so awesome! He actually hooked up with the coach Dongjiang and called him brothers! No wonder he became the factory manager as soon as he came. The backstage is so damn strong!
You must curry favor with the factory manager in the future!
Sun Chuanting was completely unaware that he was hugged by Mao Jue. This Spring Festival, there were more than a dozen fish, several cigarettes, and more than one hundred kilograms of pork at home!
The wind and snow were still falling colorfully, and Mao Jue's personal guard also followed the factory. However, the locomotive that pulled the passenger car to here turned a big turn at the end of the station, and then pulled more than a dozen truck carriages. Each carriage was filled with shiny high-quality coal. The front of the carriage once again roared, and with the soaring black smoke, he ran heavily towards Mudanjiang City with tens of thousands of kilograms of goods.
…………
For Dongjiang, Mao Jue is a disaster. The forging heavy industry is basically concentrated in the Yizhou generation of Tieshan by the Yalu River. The cast components are transported to the Vladivostok Wei tribes to assemble and finally run directly on the Heilongjiang artery.
In December last year, the first locomotive was on the road. After several consecutive months, Dongjiang created another industrial miracle. By March, the ice and snow melted and farmers began a new reclamation, eleven locomotives were already running on the land of Heilongjiang. The farmer was plowing the land, and the other Mercedes-Benz train whistled past became a common sight.
Regarding Mao Jue's construction of the railway, Fan Wenju, the butler of Dongjiang who was bleeding from his heart, had a heartache. Pang Dahai and others have tasted the sweetness now. Even these two guys took the initiative to plan to build a railway trunk line of hundreds of miles in the north and south of the East River.
However, compared with the flat Heilongjiang River and the rugged Dongjiang River, construction will be much more difficult.
On the other side, the ice and snow have not yet completely melted, and the road casting team where Xu Dazhuang is located has already started again with full force. It is estimated that the railway to Acheng will be successfully built this summer. With the 13th year of Chongzhen, natural disasters in the pass have become more and more serious, and refugees have poured in, opening the fifth, sixth and seventh towns of Heilongjiang, and the development of Qiqihar, Suifenhe, Wudalianchi and other places can also be kicked off at any time.
In Mao Jue's hands, the work of developing the Beidahuang was completely on the right track.
Moreover, this spring, Song Xiance also achieved a new achievement in diplomacy. Under the continuous pressure from Dongjiang, the Li family, the Western Party and the Southern Party had to surrender and agreed to open up their territory. It is estimated that this year, about 100,000 Li Dynasty untouchables will cross the border and go to Heilongjiang to work.
But even so, it is still a difficult problem to bother Dongjiang, and there is insufficient manpower!
As a result, the issue that was shelved last year was once again put on the table.
Japan!
Vladivostok Guards, military yamen, round table meeting.
The commanders of the seven legions were all holding them in a constipation, waiting for the lottery to see Mao Jue sitting under his big head portrait, especially Wen Meng, who was just looking forward to taking off his armor and showing his muscles on his arms.
Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that Mao Jue did not favor him this time, but nodded to Kong Youde on the other end.
"This time, the Yizhou Corps will go on a tour of Japan with my general, and recruit 20 additional auxiliary regiments to piece them together from the seven military towns!"
"Master General, just order the troops and destroy the Tokugawa family in one breath! What other alliance will be?"
Was disappointed, Wen Meng shouted depressedly, but Fan Wenju stared at him with a fierce look.
"What stupid things do General Wen say about military and national affairs?"
Wen Meng lowered his head dejectedly, while Kong Youde squeezed his eyes proudly. Not to mention the bouncing dividends brought by the war, the honorary group of Dongjiang Army alone, the sense of honor brought by military merits is enough for a group of generals to fight together. Unfortunately, since the Battle of Dongjiang in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Dongjiang Town has been peaceful for two years. Except for Wen Meng and Shen Rong who also entered the pass to catch meat, other generals have no war to fight for a long time.
While the other generals who were not named were disappointed, Mao Jue's voice became stern.
"There may not be a battle to fight this time in Japan, but the remaining people have a great responsibility! Don't forget that there is a great enemy south of us!"
"The military and political affairs of Dongjiang are led by Adrena, the military and political affairs of Heilongjiang are led by Fan Wenju. The Wen Meng Tieshan Legion is transferred to defend Mudanjiang, the Acheng Corps of Pangdahai, and Shen Rong's Kuye Corps are heading south, so I can stare at Yizhou. All divisions must guard against each other!"
"Once our neighbor Huang Taiji advances eastward again and invades Dongjiang, this time the Tieyi army must guard against the death and not give up any inch of land! Let Jiannu's corpses pile up on the Yalu River, and at the same time, the army of Heilongjiang Town drove me straight in, broke his Hetuara, dug up his ancestral tomb of the Tartars, and then headed straight to Shenyang!"
"If Huang Taiji dares to advance north, Wen Meng, you will also guard me. All the 100,000 reserve troops will be mobilized by me. Just fight with him in the white mountains and black waters! At the same time, the Dongjiang troops will work hard to go west and stab him in the heart of Shenyang."
"Where you pass by, no grass will grow! No matter how old, weak, women and children, you will be slaughtered by me!"
After more than a year and a half of development, Jiannu was free in the pass, but before he knew it, the one that was rich was Dongjiang. In the last battle of Dongjiang, Mao Jue had to rely on the power of the Li family's North Korea to compete with Huang Taiji. However, with full mobilization, Mao Jue also had more than 200,000 young and strong troops to take it to the battlefield, which was no less than the Eight Banners Army, the first military group of Northeast Asia. Moreover, in terms of strategy, Mao Jue has formed an advantage.
If Huang Taiji dares to provoke again, he will be hard to meet!
"Zhao Cheng's Jixi Corps has stepped up my combat effectiveness and ordered me to be dispersed!"
During the passionate order, more than a dozen Dongjiang officers stood up together to salute.
Chapter completed!
