Chapter 407: The Railroad Plan
Li Ming turned his head and asked Wang He, "Old Wang, does the Railway Department have any railway plans in Liaodong in the future?"
Wang He took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff gently, and then said: "This year's railway plan in Vladivostok is mainly to connect Vladivostok to the south bank of Xingkai Lake, and the two railways from Biquge www.biquge.info Town to Mudanjiang Town, which are expected to be more than 200 kilometers and completed by the end of this year."
Nearly 100,000 foreign workers will be involved in the construction. The steel plant was expanded last winter, and the first phase of the steel complex is expected to be completed. Next year, the construction of the second phase of the project will be carried out, and two years later, the annual output of steel will reach more than one million tons in the steel complex.
At that time, the railway department will implement the railway artery plan of Vladivostok - Mudanjiang Town - Jianluwei - Yidong Hewei - Tielingwei - Shenyang, and the whole plan will start from Mudanjiang Town, and the entire construction section will reach more than 800 kilometers. Next year's plan of the railway department is to build a railway from Fangzhou City to Fushun to Shenyang, which will cover more than 200 kilometers and connect the Huerhai River, Songhua River, and Gray Pai River with Shenyang. ”
Everyone is excited about the plans of the Railway Division. As long as there is a railway connection, even if the area of Liaodong and the outer northeast is large, the Far East can carry out large-scale development and construction.
Wang He saw that everyone was very excited, and also said with relief: "The first phase of the company's petrochemical base in Sakhalin has also been launched, and now the employees of the chemical department have rushed to Sakhalin. ”
Hu Wei worried: "Although the fuel problem can be solved, the vehicles and boats brought by the company from the modern society will always be scrapped one day. If the company does not have a variety of modern vehicles, it will inevitably have a great impact on our work. I remember that the company had an engine development plan before I came here. ”
Wang He nodded and said: "Don't worry about all kinds of construction machinery and mining machinery, the 10,000-ton ship that Li Ming and Song Tao robbed in Japan has a lot of various engineering vehicles and mining machinery loaded on it." Most of them are in mothball. However, the company's trucks and agricultural vehicles are in use, and there is basically no stock. ”
Guo Song said: "The experts of the Science and Technology Commission did make plans, but there were no experts in engines at that time, so we could only copy several diesel engines with simple technology in modern society, and the original plan was only to develop tractors." Among the technicians who came with the submarine later was an engine specialist. Therefore, the company also changed its plan, and the Science and Technology Commission took the lead in setting up an engine research and development center.
The engine R&D center has produced results two years ago, but it is only in the test stage, and all kinds of data are close to and meet the design requirements. It's just that the materials used in several prototypes are from modern society, and they do not yet have the ability to mass produce them.
Although there is no bottleneck in technology, but the material and process is a big difficulty, although the company's material research and development center has been established, it is still that problem, there is no bottleneck in technology. But many supporting things still need a certain amount of time to build and accumulate. ”
Li Ming smiled bitterly: "Even if we are well prepared in modern society, there will be places that cannot be taken care of. Many times, an inconspicuous small part can be solved with just a phone call in modern society. But in this era, for us, it is a mountain that cannot be crossed, and we can only seek other solutions to replace it. ”
Wang He said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, with the company's current development speed, there will be a lot in the future." At least for a few years now, the company's vehicles and boats will be in use, and we need to have confidence in our expert technicians. Now the company is in no hurry to develop the basic industries of Liaodong. Even in order to concentrate all the resources of Vladivostok and complete the accumulation of the company's basic industry. Once the foundation is laid, the development of Liaodong in the future will get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "Now the company's development is fast enough, and the modern resources in our hands can meet the needs of the surface for the time being. ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head and asked Qiao Haipeng, "Old Qiao." Kong Youde: How are they now? ”
Qiao Haipeng smiled and said: "The company arranged a boat after they were sent to Luzon Island, they rested in Manila for half a year, and then they were sent to the Champa by the Luzon guerrilla fleet. The combat power is too strong. They concentrated all the elites, and after landing in Champa, they drove straight into the city and attacked the capital of Champa by surprise.
Before the army of the Champa could react, the city was breached by these soldiers. Hehe...... After they occupied the capital, the armies in various parts of the occupation country basically lost their combat effectiveness, and were broken by the Liaodong ruffians who landed later. In recent years, in order to defend the Ruan clan in the north and the Chenla kingdom in the west, the Champa state purchased a large number of Western artillery and firearms, but this time they all fell into the hands of Kong Youde and them.
The national strength of the Zhancheng State is quite rich, and there is no shortage of food, which has cheapened these Dongjiang soldiers. The local people's livelihood affairs have been handed over to Sun Yuanhua, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and now they are living a good life. And they also handed over Cam Ranh Bay to our Admiralty as promised, and now the facilities there are almost finished. I've been looking at it for a long time. ”
Gao Jianguo said with a calm face: "Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and the monks are gratifying, the three Shandong mine disciples are finally together, they are three great traitors through the ages." Paralyzed, it's a pity, if it wasn't for the original use of them, they would have been slaughtered a long time ago. ”
Qiao Haipeng smiled and said, "With their scourge on the South Asian continent, it can save us a lot of trouble in the future." Although the strength of a few small countries there is not good, the environment in that area is too bad, and we really don't have the energy to manage it at present. We should strongly support them in their westward expansion in the future, and it is better to let them fight all the way to India. ”
With the gradual stabilization of various parts of Liaodong, most of the main forces of the Military Commission have been withdrawn. Now only the mountain brigade and a large number of indigenous militias are retained, and the remnants of the Tartars are cleared in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong.
Although the Far Eastern Company's attack on the Tartars was very sudden, and several attack directions were also in the first place, blocking the passage of the Tartars to the north, Liaodong was too big, and there were still some small groups of Tartars who escaped from the encirclement of the Far East, most of them were Tartars living in remote areas, some of them fled into the mountains, and some fled into the grasslands.
But these tartars are mainly old and young, women and children, and the number is not large, and it is impossible to become a climate at all. There are very few young and strong among them, and they fled too quickly, and they did not even bring much basic living supplies, and it is estimated that most of them will die in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong in one winter.
Now the company's work has been carried out smoothly. The company conducted a large-scale statistical census of the Liaomin under centralized management, and found that there were only more than 400,000 Liaomin under the centralized management.
The Tartars ran away regardless of it, and many Liao people who were enslaved by the Tartars also took the opportunity to flee into the mountains. They didn't know what was going on. Although everyone guessed that the Tartars might have been defeated, they did not know who had defeated the Tartars.
In this era, there is no righteous army, whether it is the Tartars or the Ming official army, the first thing to do after winning the battle is to kill and plunder, the Liao people are all shaved heads, and their heads are good things for the Ming officials and soldiers to kill the good and take the lead. Therefore, the Liao people also dispersed in a hurry.
It is estimated that before the winter, the Liao people hiding in various parts of eastern Liaoning will be collected one after another. Even the indigenous tribes who live in such an environment all year round will not be able to survive this long winter if they do not prepare enough winter food before the winter every year.
Such a large number of Liao people need a large number of grassroots management cadres, but fortunately, the company has already stockpiled 30,000 musket militia in Vladivostok two years ago. Even the ordinary militia has served as a squad leader in various migrant squadrons for at least two years, and already has basic grassroots management experience.
A year before the Military Commission launched the Pingliao Plan, the company recruited another 20,000 musket militia from among the immigrant activists. The main purpose was to fill the shortage of grassroots management cadres after a large number of musket militias left Vladivostok.
Next year, Vladivostok will carry out the land policy of contracting production to households at the same time as Liaodong, which can greatly reduce the company's management costs and stimulate the production enthusiasm of immigrants to the greatest extent. In the next few years, the activists among the old immigrants in Vladivostok will also migrate to Liaodong one after another as the company's grassroots management cadres.
Although the Far Eastern Military Commission swept through Liaodong in only one month, the territory of Liaodong was too large. At present, the Far Eastern Group Company only controls the surrounding areas of Shenyang, Liaoyang, Tieling, Fushun and other cities, as well as various waterways and official roads and post roads in eastern Liaodong.
In order to strengthen the management of the Liaomin, the company has placed hundreds of thousands of Liaomin in these places for centralized management. Other areas in eastern Liaodong can basically only send troops to garrison and inspect separately.
Therefore, in the next few years, the Far Eastern Company will do its best to bring in immigrants from Daming. This will be an extremely difficult task, requiring a huge amount of materials and a lot of preparation.
In addition, so many displaced people were transported from Daming to Liaodong, and the difficulty can be imagined. Whether it is a water or land route, it will inevitably alarm the local governments at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, and once it is known by the imperial court, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Ming authorities.
Therefore, the company instructed the Intelligence Department of the Military Commission to increase the intelligence work of Daming, and sent a large number of intelligence personnel to Daming to prepare for the company's next immigration work. (To be continued......)
