Zhou Lin listened to Li Ming's words, and did not have an excited expression, but said with a wry smile: "How can you think that it is as simple, without the support of modern machinery, if you want to dig a ditch, you have to rely on huge manpower to complete it." Although we can take advantage of the great drought in Chongzhen to collect displaced people from the Shanxi region. But where do we get the food, the company is now in a difficult time, and it can't give us strong support.

If it is also like the agriculture in the Luliangshan base area, only tens of thousands of displaced people will be collected, it will not help at all. We can't even solve the basic food problem, how can we feed so many displaced people. If there is no one, the Hetao tank farm will not be able to pick it up. It is not an easy task to build an ancient irrigation area in the late Qing Dynasty, and it may be possible to make no progress for decades, and there is a long way to go. ”

Wang Yaowu next to him said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you may not know yet. Now the city of naturalization to Baotou, Bayannur area, because a large number of Han people in the Ming Dynasty escaped from the Great Wall, leased the land of the Mongols to open up wasteland for farming, we have seized a large amount of grain in the city of naturalization, and many Mongolian tribes around have stored a lot of grain.

There are tens of thousands of Han people from Tumochuan to Bayannur alone, plus the Han serfs in various tribes, fifty or sixty thousand people can still be made up. Moreover, there is a lot of cultivated land that has been reclaimed here, and the foundation here is very good, and the conditions in all aspects are much stronger than those of the Luliang Mountain base area, so you can let it go. By the way, Commander, I think Naturalization City is good here, and the Western Military District Command is here. “

Li Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a big matter must be passed by the resolution of all the Standing Committee members of the Military Commission and reported to the board of directors for approval. We'll talk about this later, but let's continue to study the next step of the Hetao base area. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Lin next to him and said with a smile: "Zhou Lin." Don't be discouraged. The conditions in the Luliangshan base area are so difficult, and we have not survived the same. I think so...... The main reason why you are so negative now is your own reason. You have always had the blueprint of the Hetao irrigation area in modern society in your heart, and the burden on your body is too heavy.

We now control vast areas of Guihua City, Baotou and Bayannur. Moreover, just in time for the drought in several northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of displaced people can be gathered in the Shanxi area and organized to reclaim land in the Hetao area. We're asking for people now. There is land for the land. As for the food problem, I believe that with our efforts, we will be able to solve it in the end.

The Hetao base has a very important strategic position in our Far East, and the company needs a forward base to support whether it goes north or west in the future, and the Hetao base just meets the company's requirements in all aspects. Even if the company moves to the Central Plains in the future, the Hetao base area can still play a great role.

Therefore, we must build the Hetao base within a few years, not only to achieve food self-sufficiency. It is also necessary to provide all-round logistics support for the company's future northward plan, westward plan, and southward to the Central Plains. Comrades, the burden on us is heavy. I hope that you will show the same enthusiasm that we had when we returned to the Luliangshan Base Area, and do a good job in the Hetao Base Area in the shortest possible time. ”

Song Tao listened to Li Ming's words and said with a smile: "Then will we also form the Northwest Field Army in the future, after all, the military commission will gradually implement the northward plan and westward expansion plan in the next few years." You can't always draw troops from Liaodong. ”

Wang Yaowu also said excitedly when he heard it: "Commander, what Lao Song said makes sense. Based on the current situation of the Central Military Commission, the formation of two field armies, the northwest and the northeast, is still a relatively rational allocation. ”

Li Ming thought for a while and said, "Lao Gao and I have discussed this issue together. At present, the time for the company to enter Daming is not yet ripe, but our Far East cannot stop the pace of expansion. Among them, the third stage of the northward plan will sweep through the Khalkha Mongolian tribes in Mobei. As well as the ** steppe in the north of the ridge, completely solve the vast area south of Lake Baikal.

The General Staff of the Military Commission has already begun to formulate a plan for the future westward expansion, and plans to organize the company's grassroots nomadic detachment in the next few years to gradually migrate to the west. When the time is ripe, it will sweep away the Zungar Khanate and Yarkand Khanate in the northwest, as well as the ruling Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Shute Khanate, and completely solve the threat in the northwest of the Central Plains.

In this way, it is necessary for the Military Commission to form a main force in the northwest region as the company's main field corps for the northward and westward advances, and to be responsible for managing the Mongolian corps on the steppe and organizing a series of operations in the next few years. The Northwest Field Army you are talking about can be regarded as a point, Song Tao, you have to be prepared, I am afraid that the burden of the Northwest Field Army will fall on your shoulders in the future. ”

Song Tao was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, you are willing to die for the party and the state, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" ”

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard what he said.

Li Ming was also angry with Song Tao, but he didn't pay attention to him, the more he paid attention to this thing, the more he became embarrassed.

He glanced at everyone and said with a solemn face: "We are fortunate to have come to this era and shoulder the mission of national rejuvenation. As a soldier, we must have the consciousness of opening up and expanding the territory for our nation and reproducing the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Back then, the strong man swept away Mobei, exterminated the Huns, and sealed the wolf. The Tang Dynasty swept through the Western Regions, destroyed hundreds of countries, and shocked the four empires. Wu mourned the king of heaven Ran Min, killed Hu with a song, and slaughtered millions of Hu.

Meng Tian built the Great Wall in the north, and Ban Chao began to pass through the southwest of the Western Regions! Wei Qing is far away from the desert! Su Dingfang destroyed Western Turkistan, Li Jing conquered the north, and Li Ji destroyed Goryeo Silla Baekje! Tang Ge Shu Handing Western Regions! Wang Xuance destroys Tianzhu! Qi Jiguang got rid of the plague and built the Great Wall! Zuo Zongtang returned to Xinjiang and carried the coffin! Xu Shuzheng reverts to Outer Mongolia! Peng Shuai fought in North Korea, and hundreds of thousands of heroic souls were stained on the battlefield!

I think back then, my Han family's sons and daughters were punished with might, strong men were hungry for Hulu meat, laughed and thirsty for Hun blood, Jin Ge Iron Horse, and swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.

To this day, it still makes our blood spurt, and their deeds are enough to shine in the annals of history!!

In the early stage of the development of human civilization, the law of the jungle still dominated, and the strength of civilization was not enough to resist the barbaric competition for survival, and it was often the victorious side that showed its strength through brutal genocide, which made many excellent ancient civilizations disappear under the barbaric power.

The ancient Indian civilization died out because of the Aryan invasion, the Cretan Mycenaean civilization disappeared by the Dorians, and the Egyptian civilization was invaded by the Persians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs, exhausting all its vitality, leaving only the traces of the old pyramids, and the symbolic writing of ancient Egyptian civilization finally gradually disappeared.

In order to save our nation, they will use their flesh and blood to go forward one after another, and there will always be great national heroes who are born out of thin air, fighting desperately, saving our nation and allowing the continuation of Chinese civilization. (To be continued.) )
