Karaganda, the place with the richest mineral resources in Kazakhstan in later generations, is densely populated with coal, iron ore, copper ore, manganese ore, and lead and zinc ore.

Some craftsmen captured from the Bukhara Khanate in Zhongyuz mined iron ore here early in the morning to build weapons and armor for Zhongyuzhan.

Later, after Ablai Khan took office, he realized that this place was better than the previous tent of Astana, so he moved the tent here. For Ablai Khan, although Astana has rich water and grass resources, he wanted to gain a foothold in Zhongyuzi. After staying in Hualazimo for a while, he knew the importance of weapons and equipment.

However, although there are abundant mineral resources here, the water sources are not abundant, which means that there are not too many people here.

So Ablikhan set up two tents in Karaganda and Astana, and lived in each place for the first half of the year.

After accepting the Truchens, they immediately discovered that not only iron ore is available here, but also some other mineral resources, and they are all more easily mined mines.

After Qitade learned about it, he dispelled the idea of ​​setting up a large coal-steel composite in Yili, which has the same rich mineral resources.

He decided to build Karaganda into a large city that controls the entire Kazakh Yuz!

After taking over the entire Kazakh land, he set up three provinces in Zhongyuz, Jedzkazgan and Ayaguzi, plus half of the Ili province in Junggar, and set up these four provinces into the eastern border areas of Truqin, similar to the previous governor's jurisdiction.

However, Truchen has officially governed the place, and in order to unify resources, a new eastern border region has been established.

If you want to build the railway, it would be too slow to rely on the European part alone. You have to go hand in hand.

Karaganda is located in the center of Zhongyuz, Junggar (west of the Tianshan Mountains). If this place is built into a large city that can radiate the entire Kazakh prairie and has strong industrial and mining support, that is the true transformation of this prairie.

Otherwise, if it was still managed in the past, it would be no different from the Mongolian country in later generations.

In order to speed up the construction here, the State Council specially transferred one-third of the management personnel, engineers and workers of Stavropol, Aktobi, and Kustana to come here. You should know that to this day, the industrial and mining workers in these three places are more than 20,000, which is a total of 60,000.

That is, about 20,000 people came here.

In order to solve the water supply problem in large cities, in the past five years, Qitad asked the chairman of the Eastern Krai Selen to organize personnel to connect the Ishim River and Lula River near Karaganda, and then connect it with Karaganda, and build a large reservoir in Karaganda.

In addition, in order to solve the problems of construction, mining, factories and urban planning, the Government Council has dispatched part of its subordinate Truqin Construction Company, Mining and Metallurgical Construction Company, and Coal-Steel Complex Construction Company to form three eastern companies to specifically build Karaganda.

According to Truchen's practice, in advance, senior officials, mayors and brigade commanders were all combined into one. In order to speed up the construction progress, the State Council transferred the former senior official of Kustana Province (and commander of Kustana Brigade) Hadan and changed his position to be a senior official of Karaganda Province and brigade commander of Karaganda.

And also serves as vice chairman of the Eastern Border Region.

The iron ore resources near Kustana are rich and close to the Tsarist Russian border. Hadan has rich experience in both military and government affairs, so it is appropriate to transfer him here.

In the past five years, the Eastern Construction Company has completed the road from the main mine to Karaganda. Due to the lack of water transportation resources, it can only use horse-drawn carriages to pull mines. However, with the completion of the Stavropol-Elista railway, the Truchens officially declared that they entered the railway era.

Therefore, it is possible to take advantage of the abundant coal resources of Karaganda, and to first drive a car or two to transport the ore to Karaganda by some small and medium-sized steam engines.

In order to complete the construction of industrial and mining industry as soon as possible, Karaganda City has been just a prototype so far. In the past five years, small settlements have been formed near various mines.

In the past five years, the Eastern Construction Company will connect the Ishim River, Lula River and the canals of Karaganda. The reservoir is completed and the construction of facilities for various mines has taken huge energy. Now we have the time to start building Karaganda City.

The new year is here, and with the completion of a short-distance railway to various mines, the small locomotive that took a year to transport here will play a role.

Karaganda, on the south side, is a hill about 800 meters high, with the name of the entire Kazakh street - Aktao Mountain.

The mountaintop has long been built into a guard post by the Karaganda brigade.

The Kazakh land in April is still extremely cold, and the top of the mountain is even more unbearable, but now it is crowded.

A small wooden military fort was built at the highest point. There is a circle of corridors outside. Standing on it, you can overlook Karaganda and dozens of miles nearby.

Karaganda is unique, with the farthest copper ore point only about fifty miles, and iron ore, coal mine and manganese ore are all within thirty miles.

A big flag is erected in the middle of the military fort, which is the Truqin flag with a red-bottomed golden dragon!

The corridor facing Karaganda City was already crowded with people. The one among them was Dataiji, the former Turgut tribe of the Turgut tribe of the Junggar Khan Kingdom, later the Turgut deputy Khan, the governor of the Kazakh Governor, the current chairman of the Eastern Frontier Region, and the fifty-year-old Sheling!

Sheling, one of the leaders who was as famous as the former when Wobaxi returned to the east, had previously raided the city of Yili of the Qing army and killed the defender Tang Kalu, and later surrendered to Wobaxi through the territory of the Russians.

The times have changed, and the times have changed. Without the return of the Turkuts, the return of the Junggars has been brought to the return of the Junggars. Later, Kazakhs and Junggars were combined into one, which is very different from the original history.

After Sheling returned to Truchen, he served as Prime Minister of the Lifan Academy and a senior official in the Alal Province. People like him have never been wrong. After twenty years, they have been well integrated into Truchen's system. In addition to Truchen's strength, he is a Turgut person himself, and the powerful charm of Qitad is obviously one of the reasons.

He did not come from Truchen's schools at all levels. He did not go to Elista for training due to his noble deputy Khan, but he still became one of the qualified members of the Truchen Empire.

Delegating power, learning, and integrating, this is the only magic weapon to give up.

If Wobaxi was still in power, even if the Qing court allowed the Turkuts who returned to the east to occupy the Junggar territory again, I believe Sheling would not be so obedient because nothing has changed.

What restricts the behavior of the Mongols of Weilath is the code of Weilath that changes soup but not medicines, and what restricts their minds is the eternal Lamaism. With the hatred with the Qing court, it is definitely a question whether Sheling can stay there honestly.

But he entered a completely different Turgut Khanate. Faced with such a country, he could only gain a foothold by integrating. In this regard, he did much better than the previous Turgut Khanate, Sangbaodunge and Sangham Yang.

On the left is Hadan, a senior official from Karaganda Province, and on the right is a man in his thirties with a gentle expression.

This person is Su Ge, the deputy mayor of Karaganda City, the future head of the coal-steel composite, chief engineer Su Ge, and the nephew of Su Wenyu.

Su Ge, this name is not a serious Chinese name at first glance. It turns out that Su Ge's father is a Han Chinese, but his mother is a Turkic Nogae. Of course, he is a Nogae from the Turkish Khan. Nogae custom. After a boy is born, in order to support him, he will also give a crude name like the Han Chinese, and the "Tiedan".

Soge, the meaning of Nogai's slave is Su Ge's nickname. In addition, his surname is Su. In order to commemorate his mother who died of illness, he later changed his name to Su Ge.

Suge was a few engineers who were very talented in steel smelting taught by Qitad himself. Five years ago, he was the second only to Jeddah in the Ministry of Works. There were several masters of the Suleiman brothers and the chief engineer of coal-steel composite construction. Now he has come here to be the deputy mayor.

There were also two people standing beside Su Ge, both in their thirties.

As soon as he saw these three people, Hadan, as mayor, couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Kalaganda Three Grids"

A man named Sun Ge, Tuer, originally called Sengge, and the Mongolian word "lion" comes from the Lamaism. At this time, the Truqin Empire changed its name in Chinese, so it was changed to Sun Ge.

One of them is actually Yangge, which means "saint, heroic lord" in Kazakh. Most of the Kazakhs have this name, and it has also been changed to Yangge.

Sun Ge is the manager of the Eastern Construction Company. The Truqin Empire is obviously not as detailed as the professional division. All constructions, such as transportation, construction, water conservancy, and factory buildings are listed here.

Yang Ge is the manager of a mining and smelting company, responsible for prospecting, setting mining locations and orders, and mineral dressing.

The three grids are the best people who graduated from Truqin Middle School after the establishment of the Truqin Kingdom and entered the higher technical school after graduating from Truqin Middle School.

Qitade later became a mining and smelting machinery engineer and also knew some knowledge about architecture. After more than ten years of exploration, in fact, his current knowledge structure is not necessarily better than that of the current serious engineers.

These three grids are the key to whether Karaganda City can be built.

In five years, they first built canals, reservoirs, and roads, allowing a large number of people to concentrate on building a large-scale project, then they were prospecting, and gradually relied on the mines to form settlements, and finally small-scale mining.

Today is the day when four short-distance railways around Karaganda are opened. There is a reason why a group of senior officials are not hosting near the city that Karaganda has not yet been built.

Since the iron ore, coal mine, copper mine and manganese mine are all within fifty miles, standing here, you can not only see the situation where the train pulls two carriages of ore into Karaganda, but also through the telescope, you can also see the distance mine point when the train leaves and fireworks are fired.

By the way, today is a day with dark clouds and dark sky above, and it is dusk. At that time, fireworks will rise in the mines everywhere in Karaganda, which will be a grand situation.

I have been working hard here for five years, and they need a special day to express it.

"Come!"

As one person shouted, then the rumbling sound of the train started came from afar.

Black smoke emerged from all four directions, and it instantly drove to the vicinity of Karaganda City, and then it was a long sound.

"Woo..."

As the long roar sounded, everyone subconsciously looked at their watches.

6:00 pm.

Sheling was still a little confused. According to the agreement, the four mines will also set off fireworks at this point...

"Swish..."

Just as I was thinking, almost at the same time, five gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky above the radius of 50 miles of Karaganda, with Karaganda City as the center.

"Pan..."

Everyone clapped their hands.

"Success!"

The fireworks show lasted for a quarter of an hour and then it ended.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder that they have been looking forward to for a long time. It is the taste of success, the taste of joy, and the taste of excitement.

At this moment, a team also appeared on the western highway.

They are all cavalrymen, about 300 people, with a big banner among them.
Chapter completed!
