May 1929, Sichuan

Jiang Baili and Wu Tiejun led the troops to capture Sichuan. After half a year, the bandits in most parts of Sichuan were basically eliminated. The Bashu area, except for the more complicated terrain in the western Sichuan area, is just a shallow hilly terrain, which is not suitable for the bandits and the three to flee and hide.

In four months, the major cities in Bashu were taken as the center, and they were carried out from all directions. With an absolutely enclosing situation, bandits from all over the place were cleared by thunder. Whether it is a small bandit with dozens of people, or a large number of bandits with hundreds or thousands, all of them are generally destroyed. Better off, half a month after the siege, the troops went up the mountain to catch people. If the end was miserable, the cannon rang, the machine gun swept away, and the end against the new government was bound to have no good results.

In this battle of bandits across the Sichuan-Yunnan border mountainous area and Bashu mountainous area, the vast majority of bandits still chose to surrender. And in accordance with the promise when surrendering, the Southwest Government will also screen these bandits. Those who are full of evil will naturally be punished by law. As for those who are trapped by evil forces, who are reduced to robbers because of their livelihood distress, they are willing to return home to pay for road expenses. Of course, homeless people also have more difficult mines and construction sites to arrange.

From the beginning of 1929, the full-scale construction of the Southwest Government officially began.

Large-scale production construction based on four provinces, like a hurricane, has blown through the four provinces of the southwest. Under the overall arrangement of the government, from infrastructure construction such as road traffic and hydropower to water conservancy, to large-scale industrial construction, from rural and urban construction to improve people's livelihood, to urban infrastructure construction, a project started only at the end of the third five-year plan. The large-scale construction has injected vitality into the entire southwest and even the Bashu land that has just joined the southwest government.

Construction sites are everywhere. On road construction sites, in addition to the occasional engineering machinery, there are a large number of workers and farmers.

Whether from rural bankruptcy households or urban unemployed or unemployed, they can find a job on such a construction site.

Every morning, as long as you bring a hammer and shovel, or a **** to the construction site to register, one day's labor is recognized, and one day's work points can be recorded. Settle wages once a week.

However, even so, the construction site is really not so many people. Every road construction site is full of people. In the end, there is no way but to say no, as long as the old workers.

This time the contradiction came again. Zhang San worked here, and Li Si wanted to work too. There was no way. Finally, he negotiated a compromise. It's not purely for money. Farmers in many places are really helpless when they see roads or dams. There is propaganda from the grass-roots government, and the government has never met for many years to do things for the people. Everyone knows that there are thousands of things that benefit themselves and future generations. It is false to say that they are not motivated.

Therefore, when the construction team's project progresses to the extent of the township, the township will call on the villagers to help during the leisure time. The work points counted can be used to deduct part of the seed fertilizer money, and the other part of the construction unit will pay the remaining work money. Pay directly to the local government and be supervised by the supervisors, and the money will either be subsidized as a whole into the seed fertilizer fund or used to subsidize the newly built school in the local area.

The progress of major projects is very fast. Some rural basic hydropower construction is progressing faster. Constructing a dam, constructing a grassroots hydropower station, building a large factory, etc. seemingly huge projects, but under the hands of a crowd of workers, are completed at a rapid speed.

The construction throughout the southwest, especially the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, is represented by the Panzhihua Comprehensive Iron and Steel City in Sichuan.

"Chairman, look, this is the first phase of our industrial city planning. From here to there, it is divided into mining area, processing area, supporting auxiliary factory area, and residential area. The design of the industrial city has been scientifically demonstrated to the greatest extent. Do your best to complete the four phases in the future, the industrial city will not be affected by excessive pollution. In the Guanyinyan area of ​​the Jinsha River, about 30 kilometers away from the industrial city under design, a total power of 500,000 KW will be built. Large hydropower stations are expected to have a construction period of four years and will be used as supporting power supply facilities in the industrial city in the future ... "

On a high mountain, Lu Chuanxiong, the director of the planned Panzhihua Iron and Steel City, is introducing the planned Panzhihua New Steel City to the chief of the Southwest Government Zhang Shusheng and his party.

From the location of Zhang Shusheng Station, even without telescopes, you can clearly see the busy sites in the distance, the lively mining area construction, plant construction, and supporting construction, which are basically carried out at the same time. Even the accommodation area is also living in a tent. For construction, the construction period does not wait for anyone. In order to complete this urgent construction period, no one dares to relax.

Previously, although the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Base also assumed the steel consumption of the Southwest Government 81, not only mining areas, but also supporting factories including smelting and thermal power stations. But compared to Panzhihua, which Zhang Shu had ever visited in his later life, it is still incomparable, and it can even be said that it is only a town scale.

In the future, the plan to build an army is destined to require countless iron and steel. In the later generations, the iron ore mines that have been proven in Panzhihua, although the reserves are amazing, are mainly vanadium titanium magnetite. This later super-steel base has discovered more abundant reserves and mineral types. Whether it is the Southwest government now or the new China in the future, it will generate great demand for resources here.

Therefore, at the beginning of the year, a large-scale construction plan for Steel City was launched, and the budget accounted for a considerable amount of government investment plans.

"Let's go and see."

Zhang Shusheng did not allow a large group of people to follow. In the political practice of the Southwest, the leaders went to check. Basically, they did not notify in advance, and they did not need to be accompanied by the main brain of the local government. .

However, even if five or six idle people walk into the construction site, they will attract the attention of the workers.

"Chun Xiong, fellow farmers work on the construction site, can the farm work be busy at home?" Among the workers who looked at their shoulders, some of them were farmers brothers who had just emerged from the farm work. Zhang Shusheng was afraid they would delay. Farm work.

He also came from a peasant family in previous lives. He knew the hard work of farming. When the old father went out to work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, his mother was almost exhausted in the field.

"These Sichuanese are desperately dedicated to hard work. They work on time every day and go home to work until the light of the lanterns. I heard that some old bankers went home and went to the field to order A bunch of incense can dig out neat rows of small nests. "Lu Chuanxiong said with emotion, he is not from a peasant family, and he admires and expresses affection to these people who work and farm. "However, the male labor of every household came to the construction site, and the women and women were not idle. Some came to the construction site as small workers, and some directly carried their **** to pick up dung to work. It was really admirable."

"Oh, this is true. Sichuan is subject to regional conditions. Although poor, the farmers are very hard." Zhang Shusheng is not a face-to-face remark. Before coming to this era, his grandfather had "little incense hit the nest" The experience of "sprinkling scent and spreading manure", where mechanization is difficult to spread, can only be achieved through the arduous struggle of the farmers themselves.

Looking around, there are construction sites everywhere. Except for the faint mountains around, Zhang Shusheng did not find the familiar shadow of the later Panzhihua.

At lunch, Zhang Shusheng and his party ate in the canteen of the construction site as construction technicians. In the simple and large open-air canteen, Zhang Shusheng was like the most ordinary person. He and the migrant workers brothers ate the fat in the meat bowl. He also drank two sips with his coworkers at the table. During the meal, although it was only coarse tea and rice and fatty greens, he felt the natural simplicity of the farmers and workers and felt their respect.

Maybe they will never know that even if they are blind, they even need a village branch secretary to help the liquidated farmers, but they can sit on the rough desks and chairs of the farmer who moved to the construction site with the most powerful men in China and the world in the future. And have the most ordinary lunch.

However, although they never know, Zhang Shusheng will always remember. It is these bits, and even more bits, that let him know that although he started all the way, more people still need to follow his fortune, and one person ascends to the peak of power, it is better to let a nation ascend to the peak of happiness . Money and power do n’t bring death or death, and do n’t dare to count on Qing Shi ’s name. Then, it ’s better to devote limited energy to taking care of people ’s livelihood, so that ordinary people can have a meal, a shirt and a smile. Always open and hopeful.

After a simple but nutritious lunch, Zhang Shusheng boarded the plane to Yibin.

Fortunately, the construction of the airport during this period was not as high-specification as later generations. A simple running suite, some basic supporting facilities, and a small field-level airport were enough to cope with infrequent aircraft takeoffs and landings.

Zhang Shusheng was riding a military transport aircraft modified by the F-2 bomber. At the end of 1927, on the basis of the J-1 fighter and the J-1 bomber, three improved fighters entered active service.

After four years of improvement and development, the development of the J-2 fighter is very satisfactory. The various data have completely reached the initial model of the German Air Force Bf109 which will appear only a few years later. Dimension data: wingspan 10.22 meters, aircraft length 9.57 meters, aircraft height 3.1 meters. Weight data: 2930 kg empty. Performance data: At a maximum speed of 696 kilometers, the ceiling is 11,000 meters and the range is 1200 kilometers. Weaponry: a 24-year 30 mm machine gun, two ZH25 12.7 mm aircraft machine guns. In terms of power equipment, it is powered by a Kunlun 2 aero engine with a power of 1550 horsepower.

The J-2 bomber is an independently developed bomber model. After sacrificing maneuverability and speed, the new bomber's bomb load reached an astonishing 4.2 tons. When the speed dropped to 425 kilometers, the range was 1800 kilometers. Self-defense weapons are mainly machine guns and aerial machine guns. As soon as this specially developed bomber appeared, Zhang Shusheng made a decision to mass-produce it, but for nothing else, it was its data that had been sufficient for quite a long time, even for the bombing operations in the early days of World War II.

Therefore, the modified transport aircraft is also an excellent model. In addition to military use, five planes were purchased by Shusheng Company, and Southwest Airlines was set up for long-distance air transportation across the province.

From Panzhihua to Yibin, the straight-line voyage was less than 600 kilometers. After an hour and a half of sailing, the plane finally landed at Yiba Caiba Airport. Like Panzhihua, there is also a field airport for military use. Although small in scale, it is already low-density enough for the Air Force to transfer and use it.

It was only half an hour by car from Caiba Airport to Yibin. However, when the convoy came outside Yibin City, Zhang Shusheng did not go in. He just stood on the hillside beside the Minjiang River and looked at this strange town quietly. .

Yibin at this time was small in scale and did not have to be much larger in the towns to come.

"Things are neither human nor ..."

Zhang Shusheng stood alone, and the confidential secretary Mao Yun waited far away from him.

Looking at the strange Yibin in the distance, and the high cliffs and Minjiang River nearby, Zhang Shusheng's feelings were extremely complicated. This is the hometown of future generations, but today it is just a large area of ​​riverside beaches.

This was the northern part of the Shangjiang River. Going down the high cliff was Wuliangye's factory. The Minjiang River meandered from one side, bringing vitality to the city and injecting the source of the Yangtze River.

The later Jiang River Bridge, Wuliangye Factory, and Yibin College did not have it. Some were just wasteland. Zhang Shusheng couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

Where he stood, it would have been a highway, which would lead to Yibin City at one end and his hometown at the other.

For a long time, looking at the barren mountains, Zhang Shusheng shook his head and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

"Anyway, when the big things come to pass, go back home and take a look."

This was Zhang Shusheng's idea and his decision. Before getting on the car, Zhang Shusheng sighed, and then asked the mayor standing respectfully: "Wen Sheng, is there a place in your jurisdiction called Guanyin Town?"

"How do you know the total length? I'm afraid it's more than 60 kilometers away from here. In the Qing Dynasty, it was a small market town, and the folk customs were very simple. I also went to visit once a while ago ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ because With regard to the establishment of a county in Yibin County, we intend to put the county seat there. "

The mayor was a little surprised. I didn't expect that even the president had heard of this Guanyin town. Is it really going to set the county government there? Although there are two other towns in the alternative address.

"County resident?" Zhang Shusheng fainted a little. If the county resident is put there, maybe the locals will benefit, but maybe it is his own selfishness. If the local area is completely changed, he can still find the last little familiarity And memories?

"No, the county seat should choose another place. I will let people prepare several government investment plans and choose to do it in Guanyin Town. For this place, the government should be more careful ..."

After speaking, Zhang Shusheng didn't go back to the ground to get on the car. He said too much to pass. In any case, he was going to go back after all, which was also his wish for many years.

"Yunxian, please inform the airport, we will go to Chengdu this afternoon"

In Chengdu, Zhang Shusheng will participate in a government conference after the formation of a new government, and will invite some Bashu capitalists and respected people to participate in the discussion. It is also regarded as the highest level of the southwest government to announce the joining of Bashu. ()
