From the pre-Qin period, the farming people based on the Central Plains began to fight the nomadic people in the north. The time lasted for thousands of years. Until the period of the Republic of China, the Mongolian bandits were still the biggest border trouble in the north. From the northwest to the northeast, Stretching for a distance of thousands of kilometers, they will all be disturbed.

How to eliminate this scourge and stabilize the northern frontier, Zhang Tinglan is also constantly thinking, after much deliberation, the most suitable way is to let the nomads completely change the customs of thousands of years, stop nomadic footsteps, settle down, and then engulf them into the wave of industrialization.Herdsmen become ranchers or mine workers, which not only eliminates the threat, but also turns harm into benefit and becomes a force for the development of the country.

Of course, how difficult it is to change the habits of thousands of years. The large-scale enclosure from Zhang Xun this time is the first step in changing the production mode of the grassland. Standing in Zhang Tinglan's position, he not only wants to Profit, more is to change the economic model of Inner and Inner Mongolia from now on.

As long as the herdsmen stop, they will have the shackles of their family business, the wildness will be tamed, and after regular grazing, they will produce more, and the life of the herdsmen will be greatly improved. As long as they live well, people with normal minds will He doesn't want to make trouble, so Zhang Tinglan is willing to carry out a batch of pilot projects.

"In the past, herdsmen migrated by water and grass. They went wherever there was grass. After eating all the grass, they moved to another place. The output of this method was too limited. If we want to do farming, we must make full use of the resources of the pasture. At that time, take the initiative to harvest and store it, and you can’t just eat it. You have to plant grass, just like growing crops, and you must also consider the carrying capacity of the pasture and how much land you have. How many livestock you have must be calculated, and you can’t be blind reckless."

Chu Mingyuan is also a very perceptive person. After hearing Zhang Tinglan's introduction, he immediately understood that this is actually a layer of window paper, which can be broken at a touch. In the past, the treatment of grassland was completely given by God, and the herdsmen could only resign themselves to their fate.But after listening to Zhang Tinglan's introduction, Chu Mingyuan immediately understood.In fact, forage is also a kind of crop, which is exactly the same as farming. It also needs to be sown, tended, and collected.The only difference is that food is eaten by humans, while pasture is eaten by livestock.

"Every time I talk to you, I benefit a lot. Be a good herdsman. Not only need to keep an eye on the cattle and sheep, but also wait for the grassland, and manage the grassland well, so that the output can increase!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "That's right, and I have another suggestion, choose the forage carefully. I heard that most of the pastures in the west grow alfalfa, and there are many in China. You can explore how to grow alfalfa. Some people have calculated that one catty of alfalfa can hold three catties of corn, which is very nutritious.”

"Sir, what you said is definitely not wrong. I'm going to make preparations now, and go to Rehe to enclose the land immediately." Chu Mingyuan has been completely tempted by the talk, and he is about to act.

"Go ahead and do it. If you don't have enough funds, you can get a loan from the bank. In addition, if you have more cattle and sheep, Fengtian's cannery may be moved there. You don't have to worry about the market at all."

The cannery brought Fengtian the first pot of gold, but the industry has to be upgraded. Some light industries and grain industries have to be thrown out of Fengtian and placed in areas with better profits. This is also an inevitable trend of industrial development.Moreover, with the establishment of a large ranch, there will be a sufficient supply of meat in the Northeast. This is a great thing. Only by eating meat can the entire nation be healthy and strong.

Chu Mingyuan was also very happy. Zhang Tinglan's words meant that the ranch had double insurance, with loan support, and the factory purchased products, so he didn't have to worry about anything. This was a godsend, and he hurried to make preparations.

Just as Chu Mingyuan was sent away, Zhang Xueliang ran over in a hurry again, and when he saw Zhang Xueliang, he looked happy.

"Humble words, Mr. Guo came back from Heilongjiang to report on his work, and he brought back some special things." Zhang Xueliang said mysteriously.

Since the recovery of the Middle East Road, Guo Songling was assigned to Manchuria. Later, there were more and more Sino-Russian border conflicts, and the pressure on Guo Songling's shoulders was even greater. This guarantees the safety of the western section of the Middle East Road.

As a teacher in the martial arts hall and a talent highly recommended by Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling has already registered with Lao Zhang, and the opportunity for promotion has become inevitable. number.

"What special thing did you bring, and it opened my eyes to tell you?"

"It's two heads!" Zhang Xueliang said: "The heads of these two bastards, Yingshun and Ba Yinger, Yingshun let go of the Russian military officer Vasily without permission, and the Japanese took this matter to make trouble, and almost threw the whole thing away." The three provinces are all involved, it is simply impossible to kill and not to stay."

When Zhang Tinglan heard that these two people were dead, there was no accident. She committed a crime and could not live. These two guys were the scourge left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they should have been killed long ago. They had already planned to kill them, but after waiting for the turmoil to subside, everyone gradually forgot about it and killed them, but they didn't expect Guo Songling to strike ahead of time.

It seems that this Guo Guizi also has his own uniqueness. He obviously grasped Lao Zhang's mind, and then acted decisively, killing the two scourges cleanly.

"It's a good kill. Not only the two of them, but also Bi Guifang. They are not of the same mind as us. They may be bought by the Japanese at any time. They are all hidden dangers."

"That's right, I thought so too, but it seems that Uncle Wu is a little upset. He thinks that Mr. Guo didn't tell him and did it directly. It's a bit of overreach. He even sent a telegram to my father to complain about it."

Now Zhang Tinglan frowned. Yingshun and Ba Yinger were both Wu Junsheng's subordinates. If they were to be killed by the two dignified brigade commanders, they should have told Wu Junsheng before doing anything.But Guo Songling went directly past Wu Junsheng and attacked them. This move was absolutely reckless.

Among the various factions of Fengjun, Old Wu was originally the most powerful faction second only to Lao Zhang. With the rise of Zhang Tinglan, his status has declined, but he is also a province with a closed border and holds great power.Now Guo Songling was only an instructor in the martial arts hall, so he dared not to take him seriously. No wonder Old Wu was angry and dissatisfied.

"I originally suggested that my father be promoted to Mr. Guo and take over as the commander of a garrison brigade, but after Uncle Wu's complaint, my father changed his mind again."

"Hanqing, killing Yingshun and Ba Yinger, two scourges, is indeed a great achievement. It is reasonable to let Guo Songling be promoted, but taking over now will inevitably give people the impression of killing and seizing power. Think of a compromise."

"Zhuoyan, I knew you were resourceful, so help me out with ideas."

"Well, if Guo Songling is willing, he can go to Chifeng as the left-behind envoy to replace Kan Chaoxi, and then let Kan Chaoxi be the commander of the garrison brigade, and the other vacancy will be handed over to Jiang Deng, so no one can say anything."

Chifeng is an important town in the northern part of Rehe. Since the Fengjun took over, it has been holding back. Now that Zhang Xun has bought so many weapons from the Fengjun, the relationship between the two sides has become closer, and Zhang Xun has no way to refuse.

Moreover, letting Guo Songling go to Chifeng was also to prepare for the next move. With a strong army in Rehe, after Zhang Xun's restoration, the Feng army could quickly control the entire Rehe.

Zhang Xueliang thought about it carefully. This method is indeed good. Guo Songling was promoted and avoided Wu Junsheng's sharpness. Good idea, so Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Zhuoyan is really powerful, I'm going to find my father now!"

Just as Zhang Xueliang was about to leave, Lao Zhang's head guard rushed over again and invited Zhang Tinglan to discuss matters at the commander's mansion. Zhang Tinglan didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the mansion.

Zhang Zuolin was sitting upright in the Tiger Hall, and on top sat a senior military officer in his early thirties, dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and extraordinary. Zhang Tinglan knew him, and this was Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui's number one confidant.Xiao Xu is now the Undersecretary of the Army and concurrently the Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office. He can represent Duan Qirui wherever he goes.

Last time when Fengjun recaptured the Middle East Road, he ran over and almost quarreled with Zhang Zuolin, but this time Xiao Xu came to Fengtian again, with no displeasure on his face, but a pleasant smile on his face, talking with Zhang Zuolin It was very pleasant, and other important officials of Fengjun also came one after another.

Old Zhang said to the big guys: "Secretary-General Xu is here to represent Premier Duan, and he wants to solicit everyone's views on declaring war on Germany."

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "You are all generals serving the army, the pillars of the country, and you must know the difficulties of the country. Now Germany is besieged by all the powers, and the defeat is doomed. Let us join the Allied Powers to fight. As long as Germany is defeated, we will be an openly victorious country, and our political status will be greatly changed. This is a great thing. The governors of all provinces have already agreed. Only the President is still obstructing. This time I came to Fengtian , I just hope that everyone can help persuade the President to let him obey the sky."

Xu Shuzheng's words sound nice, but the actual meaning is to let everyone put pressure together to make Li Yuanhong succumb.

After hearing these words, the generals of Fengjun also began to think about it. The big guys were not thinking about Xu Shuzheng's meaning, but trying to figure out what Lao Zhang was thinking. It will be discussed in front of so many people, Zhang Zuolin must have some ideas.

"Now it's the Republic of China, and we all pay attention to the military's non-interference in politics. We can't express our opinions on whether to participate in the war or not. It depends on the decision of the president and the prime minister. As long as troops are needed, the Fengjun must be duty-bound!" Sun Liechen spoke on behalf of everyone.

Sun Liechen's words undoubtedly gave Xu Shuzheng a soft nail. Xiao Xu's complexion was a little bad, but he also knew that Fengjun was in full swing, and it was not easy to force him. Pillar, the strength of the Feng army also needs to be greatly expanded." (To be continued...)
