Chapter Fifty-Eight: Filming and Marching into the Hexi Corridor

Hearing Zhang Zhimu say that he was going to make "Tang Guifei" into a movie, Xiao Hongyu was happy, "When did Mr. Zhang start making this movie?" ”

"This is to organize a team, let Qingfengzi and them work on the technical guidance of photography, and you radio station will send people to be directors, just like rehearsing radio dramas, there must be a commander-in-chief. Then go to the theater and think about how to shoot it. Zhang Zhimu said.

Editor-in-chief Fan said: "Leave this matter to us." We now have people who also have conditions. ”

"Good! This was originally your *** business. Zhang Zhimu originally wanted to let Editor-in-Chief Fan and them be in charge of this matter, but he took the initiative to say it, and of course Zhang Zhimu agreed.

Sent away Xiao Hongyu and Editor-in-Chief Fan, Yang Yulin came in and said, "Yo! Didn't send anyone home? ”

"To whom do you send home?" Zhang Zhimu was so angry in his heart, Yang Yulin was sour when she saw Xiao Hongyu.

"Who else? That little red jade! "Yang Yulin has to get to the end.

"Oops! Whose vinegar jar is beaten today, why is it so sour? Zhang Zhimu couldn't bear it.

"You! When I saw Xiao Hongyu here, I talked endlessly," Yang Yulin said, "Just now Yang Chang called and said, if there is time for you to go over and see what lights they get, you will be endless." It's almost time to leave work now! ”

"Hey! Originally, I was thinking of going to them today, but you were delayed. Zhang Zhimu knew that it must be Yangchang's iodine-tungsten lamp that was a little eyebrow-raising, otherwise they couldn't invite themselves over.

When Yang Yulin and Zhang Zhimu walked home together, Yang Yulin remembered one more thing, "I heard that the hot water bottles made by those people in the mirror factory have not worked, you should take a look." ”

Zhang Zhimu returned home and immediately called the mirror factory. The factory director over there heard that it was Zhang Zhimu's phone call and quickly took the phone. Zhang Zhimu asked: "How is it, I heard that your thermos has not been up to standard, right?" ”

"Yes, it blew up as soon as it was filled with hot water. We can't help it, we can't increase the thickness of the glass to a very large extent. The director said.

"Don't increase the thickness, the thicker it is, the easier it is to fry. Because the glass is thick, it is heated unevenly. The thinner and more uniform your glass is, the less likely it is to explode. Zhang Zhimu reminded the factory director.

"Good! Let's try again. The director replied.

Putting down the phone, my cousin muttered, "I'm still busy with work when I get home!" It's good for you, the three of them are busy outside, none of them take care of the family, and I can't see the two children! ”

Huang Yukun hurriedly said, "Cousin! Look at you, I said I would ask someone to come back and help you, but you didn't do it. What do you let us do. ”

"I don't want unfamiliar outsiders to come to our house." Cousin said.

"Then you can just find someone you know."

Hearing these trivial things, Zhang Zhimu didn't hurry up and ran away.

Yangchang and they really got the iodine-tungsten lamp out.

Zhang Zhimu came to their laboratory, and Yang Chang directly took Zhang Zhimu to the laboratory where the iodine-tungsten lamp aging experiment was done, and said: "Mr. Zhang, my aging test has been going on for more than a week. Now there is no problem with ten lights. ”

"How powerful are these lights?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"The largest 1000 watts, the smallest 100 watts, and 500 watts." Yang Chang said, "The laboratory inside this has been blowing the wind all the time, otherwise it won't work." ”

"You build a few kilowatts, on the high shelves of the railway station, the horse station and the dock, so that you can not only do experiments, but also a landscape." Zhang Zhimu said.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do this right away." Yang Chang said, "A 1,000-watt iodine-tungsten lamp can illuminate the entire square." It's a lot safer than that carbon arc lamp. ”

"Yes, I asked Master Qingfengzi and their movie makers to come and see your iodine-tungsten lamp, and their movie projectors can directly use your iodine-tungsten lamp. Otherwise, it is not safe to use carbon arc lamps. Zhang Zhimu said, "By the way, small searchlights can also use your iodine-tungsten lamps." But you also need to develop more powerful iodine-tungsten lamps. ”

"No matter how big it is, the heat dissipation is a big problem." Yangchang said.

"Slowly improve, and strive to replace the large searchlights with your iodine-tungsten lamps in the future." Zhang Zhimu knew that in his previous life, some of the iodine-tungsten lamps used in the airport reached 30 kilowatts.

The battle of the Western Expedition has now entered the final stage. After Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He surrendered to the city of Pingliang, they left the officials and policemen of Yaogang without much stop, and went straight to Guyuan to join Liu Chenghuang and Li Kui, and then joined forces and went to Lanzhou together.

When he arrived in Lanzhou, he was regarded as a conference division. Li Wei and Ning De have been waiting in Lanzhou for a long time. A few people will meet in Lanzhou, and naturally they celebrate. Ning De accompanied Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He to check the garrison near Lanzhou, and then Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He called everyone for a meeting.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He carefully discussed where the Western Expedition would end, but they did not reach an agreement. Because if the western expedition is carried out without restrictions, it can go all the way to a far place, and even Turpan and Hami, which the Ming Dynasty has retreated, should be recovered. But if you do, you're going to get stuck there, or even dragging you there. Because now is not the time to settle those places. The greatest danger was the confronting of the Warat Mongols. Now that the Tatar Mongols could not threaten the Yaogang people for the time being, if we advanced too far west, we would directly confront the Warats, in which case we would distract our forces and affect our plan to unify the banks of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. In any case, the Mongols in the north are a matter that needs to be settled once and for all, and should never be spent too much energy on them now. However, if they don't take over the place of the Ming Dynasty that Li Zicheng and they took over, it will be endless troubles to let it go and hand it over to the Warat people, and they will soon gain an inch, which will directly threaten the safety of Shaanxi. Therefore, how to deal with the matter here needs to be handled by Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He here as appropriate. This is also the main task of Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He here.

At the meeting, Ouyang He introduced the current situation to everyone. I would like you to express your views on the current situation.

Ning De was the first to speak: "I understand what Mr. Ouyang introduced. I also know that the Warats are very tough. The Tumubao change was that they annihilated the main force of the Ming army and captured Emperor Yingzong. Although they are not as powerful as they were in their heyday, they occupy a very large area and their war potential cannot be underestimated. But if you compare it to us, it's not a little worse. So in my opinion, even if we don't want to do much in the west, the section of the Great Wall left by Li Zicheng to Jiayuguan should be taken back, which will be very beneficial to our defense in the future. ”

In the past, everyone was willing, even if they didn't have as many strategic minds as Ningde, but they all had confidence in their own army. After Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He looked at each other, they said, "It seems that everyone has no objection to General Ningde's opinion. Then let's trim it up and march to Jiayuguan. We will inform you of the specific arrangements in two days. ”

After this meeting, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He invited Ning De to a drink.

Ning De also knew that this meal was not simple, and no one had yet asked Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He to invite them to drink together. Although Ning De, Chen Yufeng, and Ouyang He are also old friends, Ning De Nan is still a little nervous. Now Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He are the commanders-in-chief of the former enemy, and their relationship is one between superiors and subordinates after all, and it is still in this extraordinary period.

After the three of them sat down, Chen Yufeng spoke first, "Hehe! It seems like the three of us drank together three years ago, right? ”

"Yes! It's been three years, and I'm still in Tongguan at that time. Hehe! Time flies! After Ning Deying finished speaking, he spoke directly, "I said two, let's finish talking first, otherwise I won't be able to drink this wine." ”

"Haha!" Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He both laughed.

Ouyang He picked up his wine glass and said, "General Ning, before speaking, I want to toast you with a glass of wine and make amends to you!" ”

"Oops! Don't you dare," Ning De was shocked, "where is this?" ”

Chen Yufeng said, "General Ningde, you let Mr. Ouyang finish his words." ”

Ouyang He continued: "When the plan for the three-way expedition to the west was reformulated, we received news that Sun Chuanting was still hiding in the Yellow River with everyone. At that time, I was afraid that you and Sun Chuanting's commander-in-chief had been in a superior-subordinate relationship for many years, and I didn't want you to serve as the commander-in-chief of the West Road. Because after several years of understanding, I know that you are a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and I am worried that when the time comes to meet Sun Chuanting's general soldiers, Sun Chuanting will make it difficult for you when he has some other requirements for you. But Mr. Zhang is very resolute in letting you serve as the commander-in-chief of the West Road. It seems that I am a little bit of a villain's belly. ”

"No, no! Mr. Ouyang," General Ningde said, "you are worthy of being the great military division of our kiln, and your opinion of me is too right." I, Ningde, am glad to have met you friends who know me so well. Regarding this matter, Mr. Zhang had a very serious conversation with me, and he didn't say that it was your concerns, he said his concerns. It seems that we Yaogang people are all gentlemen! Let's drink the wine first. ”

After the three of them finished drinking together, Ning De shouted, "Happy!" Then he said: "To be honest, I have been friends with Mr. Sun for more than ten years, and he is also my boss. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang talking to me in advance and suddenly encountering what you said, I would have been really embarrassed. Mr. Ouyang is very accurate in seeing this. However, the words have already been spoken. You can still trust me so much in such a situation, let me lead the troops all the way, and I Ningde will not do foolish things if I am not sensible. Even if Mr. Sun was in front of me, I told him about it, and he wouldn't embarrass me. Besides, Mr. Sun's family is all taken care of by the kiln people, and I don't think he will be too confused. Even if he returned to the imperial court, it was also the result of the noon gate marquis. If Mr. Zhang hadn't resolutely agreed with them to take me away, I am afraid that my head would have been unable to drink for a long time, and it would have been impossible to have such an opportunity to lead the way and complete my long-cherished wish in this life. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "General Ningde, since we have talked about this matter, I want to talk about the matter here. After we occupied Shaanxi, according to Zhimu's idea, it was also our original plan. We hit west to Jiayuguan. In this way, we will spend at least a year to consolidate and digest the operation of Shaanxi. During this time, we are preparing for you to be stationed in Lanzhou, responsible for the defense of Jiayuguan in the west, Ningxia Mansion in the north, and Minzhou in the south. ”

Hearing this, Ning De got up and clenched his fists and said, "Order!" ”

"Sit down! Sit down! You're welcome if we didn't have anyone else before. Chen Yufeng continued: "You try not to take the initiative here, our strategy is that after the unification of the Ming Dynasty, we will go back and completely solve these things in the west and north." Zhimu saw it very accurately, it will not take too much time for us to unify the two sides of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but it will take a long time to completely solve the west and north sides. ”

"That's right! We have a unified territory of the Ming Dynasty, plus our new technology, then the war potential will be unlimited, and when the time comes, we will rely on the death of those Mongol miscellaneous pieces. Ningde said, "We try not to cause trouble, but I don't agree with passive rigidity, and we must be ruthless when we encounter harassment, and let them know that it hurts." We have exterminated the Ordos Mongols, and those Wara Mongols will definitely die and be miserable, and they will not be honest if they don't cause some trouble and suffer some losses. ”

"What General Ningde said is," Ouyang He said, "we can't just put up with it, otherwise they will make inch." But you have to master the strength of the counterattack. This is also a training for our officers and men. ”

"And yes! Recent intelligence says that Sun Chuanting is hiding among the Muslims. He was sheltered by the Hui people to hide until now. We have not sent cadres to this side of the Hexi Corridor, and you have to take care of both the military and the government. For those Hui people, it is necessary to give priority to pacification, and if there is a resolute killing of those who want to rebel, it is necessary to pay equal attention to grace and power. Chen Yufeng said.

"Don't worry!" Ningde said, "Our army is different from other armies, we have political commissars, and we can divide the work. Many of our political commissars have participated in the task force. This time they came into play. As long as we implement the policy well, there should be no major problems. ”

"One more thing, you are here, the best thing is to be able to attract the merchants on the other side of the Silk Road, and when they come to Xi'an, we can invite them to the kiln. Our goods are to be sold to Persia. Ouyang He said.

"Okay!" Ningde said, "We did this when we were in Tongguan, and without past merchants, we wouldn't be able to get rich anywhere." ”

Ouyang He asked Ning De's opinion again and said, "We are ready to leave Zhao Jinli and Li Kui to you." After you hit Jiayuguan, Zhao Jinli stayed in Jiayuguan, and Li Kui returned to Ningxia Mansion. What do you think? ”

"Good!" Ning De said, "Can that Meng Si'er stay?" That's a wizard. ”

"This can't be done, this time Meng Si'er can't go west with you anymore, Mr. Zhang asked him to go back quickly, there is something more important. We, Mr. Zhang, have already thought about the next step. Ouyang He said, "However, Meng Si'er can leave some behind." I'll talk to him about it. Meng Si'er's people are under the control of Li Zhi, and we can't arrange it directly. ”

After saying that, the three of them felt that it was time to start drinking, and Ning De picked up the wine cup and said, "It's a pleasure to do things in our kiln, and you can put anything on the table." This is also the guarantee that we will do things smoothly. You don't have to put cold arrows behind you. ”

After drinking, Ouyang He sorted out the situation here and sent a telegram to report to Zhang Zhimu.

When Zhang Zhimu came to the command center, he saw that Li Mao was already waiting here, and asked happily: "Yo! Didn't Gongzi Li say that he would be back in two days? ”

"Huh! I can't wait, and as soon as I move the idea of coming back, I don't want to wait for a day. Li Mao said, "In Yangzhou, I am also worried about Shaanxi, and I don't have any thoughts about what to do." So just come back and check it out! ”

At this time, the staff officer took Ouyang He's telegram and sent it to Zhang Zhimu, Zhang Zhimu looked at the telegram, and then handed it to Li Mao and said, "Take a look!" Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang are about to start the end. ”

Li Mao read the telegram and said: "General Ningde is familiar with the situation in Shaanxi, and it is very good for him to be in charge of the entire western defense. General Ningde has always wanted to do something, and this time he got his wish. ”

"Yes! It's time for us to think about what's next. Zhang Zhimu said, "You came back just in time." Let's look at the next one together. After speaking, Zhang Zhimu introduced the situation of the Western Expedition to Li Mao with the help of the map. Although Li Mao could receive reports from the Yaogang Command Center every day, they were too scattered. After listening to Zhang Zhimu's introduction, Li Mao had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the whole situation.

Li Mao said to Zhang Zhimu: "I am not shocked by the situation of the Shaanxi Campaign, but I didn't expect Ordos to solve it so happily. Those Mongols fought a little, but that's it? Actually, we fought against the Mongols, but we didn't take their place in the end. Now it's different, and our entire Great Wall of Shaanxi can be liberated. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "After a while, those of us will gather here, and everyone is not worried about Shaanxi." Let's talk about what's next. ”

"I came back this time with a suggestion, we should take Hanzhong! With Hanzhong, we can attack Sichuan and Huguang from there at any time. It can also contain Li Zicheng's power. Li Mao said.

"Your suggestion is very good," Mr. Zhang said, "but my idea is that I will take Hanzhong at least after this time next year." We don't want to have contact with Li Zicheng, and if we have contact, we will restrain our energy and Li Zicheng's energy. We must concentrate our energies on doing a good job in Shaanxi. Let Li Zicheng also concentrate on doing what he should do. ”

Li Mao nodded and said, "Ou! Mr. Zhang thinks far. I have already arranged for all the silver deposits in the ticket number in Hankou to Wuchang, and once Li Zicheng occupies Zhang Xianzhong's Hanyang, we can just withdraw across the river. I think Li Zicheng has the possibility of developing along the Yangtze River to the south of Zhili (Nanjing). I've already set up personnel over there, and it is estimated that Li Zhi's people have almost gone in. ”

"Huh! I hope they take as much space as possible. Zhang Zhimu said, "As far as I know, Li Zhi hasn't taken care of that side yet, and now he cares about too many things." You can develop as you want. ”

"There's one more thing we need to be aware of. Our branch in Quanzhou has already felt the pressure of Zheng Zhilong and them. They gave our branch a lot of trouble in Quanzhou. It seems that Zheng Zhilong has felt the momentum of our development and is already wary of us. "Li Mao knows that this matter should be paid attention to.

Zhang Zhimu thought for a while and said, "Zheng Zhilong, we can't take care of him yet." But I don't think he'll be openly antagonistic to us for the time being. He should know our strength, and he should know that they will not benefit from opposing us. I think we have to endure as much as we can now, as long as they don't go too far. If you can save our branch, you can also buy food. Don't develop too fast on their side, just keep it up. Our energies cannot be distracted. Now we are fighting Shaanxi, mainly to train our generals and our takeover cadres. When they are all trained, we will have the ability to carry out several battlefields at the same time. ”
