At this time, Cheng Pimple led four gunboats and a patrol speedboat equipped with Qumen Erjiu Gaoping machine guns and small guns to escort An Yi and the grain convoy up the river. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, Cheng Guangdu stayed with An Yi and reported to An Yi on the construction of the Poyang Lake Garrison Division, the training and defense of the newly established 6th Brigade, and the completion and stationing of the three Neihu military ports in Hukou. Discuss the construction and development plan of the Marine Police Division.

An Yi's temporary headquarters was set up on the 500-ton steamship "Ganlong No. 5" of the Jiangnan Shipping Company

Topmost. The ship ranged from the captain to the ordinary sailor. The 1,300 non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the base who had just changed into military police uniforms strictly observed discipline and stayed quietly in the cabin, and the captain's room, which was only eight square meters, became An Yi's temporary office.

An Yi was very satisfied with the results of his old subordinate Lu Guang, in just half a year. Not only did it have two brigades of surface warships and one brigade of 6 combat units, but it also quickly improved the combat capability of the officers and men under its command by clearing out 16 large and small water bandits in Poyang Lake and escorting and fighting the soldiers who participated in the Western Expedition, and recruited two regiments of surface patrol units from the surrendered water bandits. Using these brothers, who have lived on Poyang Lake since childhood, they took on the important task of guarding and patrolling the waters from the mouth of the lake to the old Nanchang, and baiting poison and bait, and managed the waters within a radius of hundreds of miles in an orderly manner. It not only provides a strong security guarantee for the industrial and commercial exhibition of Anyi Group, but also has been awarded by the Central Military Commission twice, and its own strength is also growing step by step.

It was eight o'clock in the morning after passing the waters of Wuhan, and Cheng Guang finished his business, entered the captain's room again, smiled at An Yi, and requested:

"Master, do you see if you can ask the old Nanchang Shipyard to build six more patrol boats for us? On the catty, the month allocated a patrol speedboat to the south. The shipyard replenished us with two pilot speedboats. The performance is not bad, and the tonnage is larger, which is very suitable for us to carry out inland lake patrol missions.

After the modification of the weapon configuration, several German advisers also recognized this imitation speedboat, and said that several of the improvements were more suitable for the actual needs of the waters of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. Didn't you bait several batches of opium? That's not a small amount of money, and it should be no problem to build ten ships." An Yi joked with a smile.

Lu Guang replied with a serious face: "According to the regulations, all the opium and smuggling materials seized by the security forces and our marine police division must be concentrated in the anti-smoking bait and bait bureau at Hukou. It was handed over to Lao Yang to be responsible for handling, and his subordinates also strictly abided by this regulation, never daring to come nonsense, and all the materials seized in the past three months totaling more than 1.3 billion yuan were sent to a special warehouse in Hukou. Not daring to slack off An Yi nodded, and then asked a little strangely: "According to the regulations, your ministry should receive a reward of thirty percent, didn't Lao Yang allocate this amount to you?" ”

"The various departments separated from our independent division have cooperated with each other very tacitly, and have been acting in strict accordance with the relevant regulations, and no one will be stuck and not given. Lao Yang and his subordinates sent 410,000 yuan to their subordinates within a week, but their subordinates saw that it was not easy for the newly joined brothers to drag their families one by one, so they built two new villages on Xingzi on the west bank and two barren beaches near Lushan to house tens of thousands of old and young water bandits. It'll be in a month to move in.

Thanks to the strong support of Uncle Dao and Mr. Zhou, the Jiangnan Cement Factory and the Brick and Tile Factory sent boatloads of cement and building materials, and the subordinate engineering battalions also quarried stones. To support the construction of the new village, nearly 10,000 villagers waiting to be resettled have taken the initiative to devote themselves to the construction of their homes, so that the project can progress so quickly, and for this purpose, the subordinates have invested 500,000 yuan before and after, in order to let all the brothers under his command practice with peace of mind and not have to worry about family affairs. Cheng Guang replied solemnly.

"Huh!? How could I not know about such a big thing? ”

An Yi asked in surprise, and then nodded: "This is a good thing to stabilize the morale of the army and benefit one party, and a large amount of investment is not something that you can afford as a marine police division, alas, why didn't you tell me earlier?" If I knew that I would coordinate the various departments, your life would not be so miserable! ”

Speaking of this, An Yi looked at Lu Guang with a slight reproach in his eyes.

Cheng Guang explained with a smile: "You have so many things to deal with every day in Nanjing, and your subordinates don't want to bother you for these little things, don't you still have the support of Uncle Dao and the brothers of Old Nanchang?"

So far, so good. The more than 2,000 bandits who had originally slipped through the net also came back to surrender to our army, vowing to farm and fish at home in the future. Never go out and rob again. The impact is very good, and the counties and towns around Poyang Lake have also quickly calmed down because there is no banditry, and the chambers of commerce of Yugan, Poyang, Duchang, and Yongxiu counties have also taken the initiative to send us 200,000 draft military expenses, which is basically enough to save some flowers. ”

An Yi nodded reassuringly: "That's good." It's just that it's hard for you, so let's do it, I'll send a telegram to Uncle Dao later, and ask him to find ways to build more patrol boats for you, and the Yichang Anti-Smoking Bait Private Bureau in Jinan also needs to be equipped as soon as possible, and the funds will be first funded by Lao Yang from the Hukou Anti-Smoking Bait Private Bureau to find a way to support this kind of 50-ton patrol boat, which is very useful in inland rivers and large lakes, and it was initially proposed to me by two German naval advisers, and the shipbuilding drawings were also provided by them. The old Nanchang shipyard has done well under the guidance of European and American technicians, and now the three-hundred-ton cargo ship can also be built by itself, since it can successfully test produce speedboats this time, it means that it will be able to build a larger ship on a higher level in the future, the only drawback is that our weapon system is not as good as the original imported four speedboats, let them work hard to meet your marine police division "Thank you!" Cheng Guang smiled with great satisfaction.

An Yi waved his hand: "Our own brothers, thank you for what?" Your career is mine, and I will definitely find a way to solve the practical difficulties for you. Cheng Guang, you and the brothers around you have to work harder, set up two more surface garrison brigades and one 6th combat brigade as soon as possible, and I will solve the staffing problem for you, and upgrade your garrison headquarters to a single army level as soon as possible, and wait for the disaster relief to be over. It's time for your rank to be promoted to the next level.

This is not a difficult matter, because control of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River will soon be on the agenda of the Central Military Commission, and it is not clear that the commander-in-chief will assign me to be in charge of the formulation of the overall plan, or even let me take on this important task. This matter is still a secret, you just need to know it in your heart, and it is an old tradition of our model camp to take precautions. When the time comes, don't miss the journey, Guang's eyes lit up, and he showed a bright smile to An Yi: "My subordinates understand!" After I go back, I will do it immediately, we have nothing else, and if there are many water bandit brothers who have nothing to do after surrendering, they can come to the five thousand, and then ask for approval from the recruitment and the ten official bases. A group of 362 baths will be able to form combat effectiveness in a year after entering the base for further study. ”

"Okay, let's do it. I will definitely give my full support! This time, Xia Jian's kid was really interesting, he had just finished training the more than 6,000 Lianghu prisoners under his command, and when he heard that Jinan's side was short of troops, he quietly sent 4,500 of them to Jinan without blinking an eye. Even more than 4,000 officers and men were given new weapons and equipment, and Ji Nan was so grateful that he not only quietly paid Xia Jian 1 million for his personal gains and seizures, but also called me twice to report and ask for credit for Xia Jian.

Seeing that although the brothers were separated, their feelings did not diminish at all, Uncle Dao and I were very moved, and we were planning to give Xia Jian's kid some benefits. ”

An Yi sighed and was proud to have such a group of brothers who were close to each other.

Cheng Guang shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of Xia Jian's kid, I think of something, he didn't tell you that he married another concubine, right?" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? This guy is really capable. Have three wives and still want to marry a concubine? ”

An Yi's eyes widened, obviously affected a lot.

Cheng Guang said enviously: "At first, none of us thought that Xia Jian's boy would still have this ability, Xiaofang's tigress temperament, was actually submissive by him, and now the four women are like sisters." It made the brothers blush! But that's exactly what happened. The brothers have been harmed a lot, every time the subordinates go home, the mother-in-law of the family has repeatedly warned that Xia Jian's grandson is not allowed to learn, and the subordinates argue that the three of our children are old husbands and wives, what are you afraid of? My mother-in-law said that it is because of the old husband and wife that she is afraid, and now the population of old Nanchang is three or four hundred thousand. There are beautiful beauties all over the street, and even the blue-eyed foreign women have married our brothers, do you think our mother-in-law in the family can not worry? ”

An Yi laughed, and the adjutant Shen Fengdao, staff officer Shi Pufang, Liang Zhenyu and others on the side also leaned forward and laughed, Liang Zhenyu also jokingly asked An Yi how many he planned to marry? was laughed and scolded by An Yi, and the cabin became even more lively.

After laughing. An Yi frowned. I suddenly remembered a plan. Turning to Cheng Guang, he asked seriously: "Cheng Guang, are there any places around Poyang Lake that can arrange for the victims to move in?" ”

"Yes, there is, but the conditions are probably too poor, the area around the Sanbaoguan area north of Jinxian is full of barren beach lakes within a radius of fifty miles, there is a narrow waterway that can drive fishing boats and communicates with the big lake, that place is all bushes and reeds, there is no road connection, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, no one wants to live there, the last time the infantry brigade commander 6 Lin Hai led his troops to pursue the water bandits twice, and came back to say that the waterways there are all fish. A few greedy company commanders also led people to catch three big herring fish that were longer than people, and the lightest one was more than 40 catties. The aspect of eating is not expected to be a problem. The victims of the disaster will be diligent, let's fund some more food, and no one will starve to death, but it will take a lot of effort to open up wasteland, build bridges and build houses in that place, "Shizuo, do you want to resettle the disaster victims in the northwest to our side?" Cheng Guang asked.

An Yi heard that there was such a virgin land that had not been opened. His eyes lit up: "The place you said is good, as long as there is food, everything is easy to do." As for opening up wasteland, building bridges and building houses, it is not a problem at all, anyway, these disaster victims are idle, as long as they are organized, the labor force is not a problem at all.

I couldn't sleep for the last few nights. I am always concerned about the resettlement of disaster victims, the land in western Hubei and Xiangxi is really limited, and if Hunan does not have many dead in the war for many years, it will not be able to resettle one or two hundred thousand victims this time, so I have been thinking about whether our Nanchang area can help again.

Speaking of which. An Yi's spirit was greatly lifted. Tell Shi Pufang to spread out the map on the table, and then bury it to look at it carefully. Nodding again and again: "The area of the Three Treasures Temple is big enough. The water area is also wide, and there is no problem in putting 20,000 or 30,000 disaster victims, among which there is one of the most advantageous conditions is that the disaster victims can fish for a living before the grain is ripe, and in addition, the canned meat and canned fish produced by the Jiangnan Grain, Oil and Food Factory have become a brand-name commodity for marketing to the surrounding provinces, and the procurement of the army directly under the central government has also begun, and some boats are given to the disaster victims to teach them to fish and process, and then sell them to the canning factories in exchange for grain and oil. It is estimated that there will be no problem until the end of the year. By the end of the year, all the grain we have purchased from the United States will be delivered, and the victims will be able to go over and start spring ploughing, and everything will be fine. ”

Cheng Guang said loudly: "The master seat is ordered." If it is necessary to resettle the victims, his subordinates can send all the ships in their hands to pick up people, and Brother Mu, the chief of staff of our department, is also very enthusiastic about this, and orders his brothers not to harm the victims. If possible, they will also help him, and the troops have won a good reputation under his strict guidance for several months, and they will consult with him when they go back to their subordinates. ”

An Yi sighed slightly: "Has the reminiscence healed?" ”

"It's not good, there are still problems with the lumbar spine, and I need to go to Songjian Daochang for treatment every week. It's much better than the original, though. I was able to trot and was able to get on board. Cheng Hikari replied.

An Yi sighed: "I don't have time to visit him for a while, I can only go next time, go back and let me go to Lao Yang, transfer all the engineering corps that are building the Jiangxi-Guangdong Highway to the area of Sanbaoguan, immediately build roads and bridges into the unopened area, and then open up the wasteland and build houses, but we must keep the big trees and reeds and aquatic plants by the water as much as possible." so that soil erosion may affect future generations. ”

"Huh? All the engineering corps will be transferred to Sanbaoguan, so the important provincial roads will not be built? In the middle of last month, 5,000 engineering troops were quietly transferred to Xiangxi. Today, only more than 4,000 officers and soldiers remain to continue building the road. If you stop suddenly, it's hard to explain to Uncle De and the provincial government, right? Cheng Guang asked in surprise.

An Yi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle De doesn't care about Jiangxi's government affairs now, and Lu Diping, who is the commander of the Wuhan garrison, will soon take over the post of chairman of Jiangxi Province." The principal handed over the heavy task of suppressing bandits to him at the same time, so we don't need to stay in Gannan anymore to join in the fun, let them fight on their own, if they really want to fight, they can't repair the road, so it's better to put it on disaster relief and resettlement. ”

"The subordinates understand, let Brother Mu be responsible."

Lu Guang understood An Yi's meaning very well, and agreed without hesitation.
