The war situation in Shanxi affects the Central Committee's heart.
The two commanders of the Qing army, Duduo, died and Azig disappeared, which meant that most of the Qing's troops had been lost.
It can be said that conquering Liaodong and restoring the territory is just around the corner.
"In western Shanxi, soldiers and horses from all walks of life searched and searched almost every mountain. Although many Qing troops were captured, Azig was still not found."
After hearing the report, everyone present felt very sorry.
If Azig was not captured, it would be a little less glorious.
Zuo Mengeng patted the table to draw everyone's attention back.
"At this point, whether we can catch Azig or not has nothing to do with the overall situation. Let's just focus on ourselves."
He is about to leave for Shanxi, and the political work in the newly recovered areas needs to be discussed in detail.
After hearing this report, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Yangzhou alone has a population of one million people. In addition, the vast northern Jiangsu area spreads out the two and a half million people, which immediately leads to a very tight labor force.
"In addition, the 34th Public Security Division and the 35th Public Security Division worked together to defeat the Qing general Li Shutai in Guangning and approached Shenyang City. The Lushun Detachment, led by Commander Qiao Feng, defeated the Fuzhou Guard and Gaizhou Guard.
, Haizhou Guards, troops arrived in Liaoyang. On the Tashan defense line, General Le Xinfeng completely defeated the Manchu and Qing Shanhaiguan reinforcements. Qing General Xikut died in the battle. The Second Cavalry Division has taken over Shanhaiguan and is advancing towards Liaodong."
However, in order to ensure that mobile troops can operate smoothly, a very safe and stable logistics supply base is necessary.
The Xilamulun River grassland is flat and wide. No matter how many people are thrown here, it will be like a drop in the ocean. If we want to completely prevent the Manchus from returning to the east, in addition to a tight defense line, we also need to have enough mobile troops.
"Report on the battle situation in Liaodong."
Xiang Zuolin, deputy commander of the Fourth Division, is very good at entertaining.
In previous dynasties, there would be absolutely no solution. But for the empire, it should not be too simple.
As for what the two coaches, Bai Xiaoqi and Lou Fu, think, the Central Committee does not interfere.
Bai Xiaoqi is still trudging through the mountains of Liaodong, and Lou Fu has a showdown with Dorgon at the Xilamulun River. Both sides are very important, but they are beyond their reach, and they will definitely not change their plans easily.
Fortunately, Hebei and Shanxi have now been recovered, and Shaanxi will also be included in the rule soon.
"The Ministry of Water Resources has made a plan and budget for the Yellow River reconstruction. It is estimated that the construction period will be 20 years, a labor force of about 500,000 will be invested, and the overall budget will be close to 2 billion yuan."
Then the relevant documents were delivered to Zuo Mengeng through the communication center.
"Fu Yusun has received several letters in a row, complaining and asking to stop immigration."
"This group of proud soldiers is enough to give Bai Xiaoqi and Lou Fu a headache."
There are still some wealthy people who can migrate out of these barren lands.
"You are right. We can build the city now, which will also be very helpful for subsequent operations."
"Very good!"
Speaking of this, everyone burst into laughter.
Hou Xun's report made everyone feel heavy pressure.
Turn the time back to September.
Long Zuguang did not sell out and quickly reported the situation.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, now that this city is about to be completed, I would like you to give it a name so that the name will be passed down to generations to come."
"Just fifteen days ago, Deputy Commander Lou Fu of the Liaodong Strategic Cluster led his troops to a great victory over the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces on the banks of the Xilamulun River, completely blocking the hope of the late Qing Dynasty's senior officials to return to Liaodong."
Lu Zhiqian stood beside him and could no longer agree.
Previously, the battle plan of the Liaodong strategic cluster had been reported to the headquarters and everyone knew about it. But the current situation is obviously completely different from the battle plan.
The concise and concise naming was immediately recognized by everyone.
He thought for a while and said: "This city guards the main road, which is the only way from the Mongolian grassland to Liaodong. In this case, how about calling it Tongliao?"
Everyone cheered loudly.
"Next, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places have two tasks in total. One is to cooperate with the Ministry of Water Resources to manage the Yellow River, and the other is to immigrate. The permanent population of the three provinces must be maintained below three million, and it is absolutely not allowed to exceed
This number."
"This is really a battle that will determine the outcome!"
Everyone nodded, and when it came to the development of the New World, they could only admire Zuo Mengeng's foresight.
An important reason for environmental disasters in the northern region is too much population.
Zuo Mengeng thought about it and suddenly laughed.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that the Manchu and Qing officials would never return to Liaodong.
But who knew that Long Zuguang's briefing was not over yet.
The generals below were not willing to be left alone, they were eager to make meritorious deeds, and took their own initiative. As a result, they fought so beautifully that the situation turned out to be great.
Therefore, when deciding to carry out ecological restoration in the three provinces of Qin, Shanxi and Hebei, population control is the first step.
When the war in Shanxi gradually subsided, Liaodong became the top priority.
Therefore, it is necessary to build a city that can not only guard the Xilamulun River but also support the armies in combat.
"The twenty-year construction period has evenly spread the pressure, and the impact on the national finance will not be too great. Coupled with the continuous provision of wealth from the New World, in the future, the Yellow River Control Project in Shaanxi and Shanxi can also start at the same time."
"good!"
On the bank of the Xilamulun River, Lou Fu was in high spirits when he saw tens of thousands of troops busy.
Seeing a strong fortress gradually taking shape, and the battle to pacify Liaodong was about to begin based on this city, Lou Fu was also filled with excitement.
The current population of the entire northern Jiangsu region is only less than 3.5 million people.
Prior to this, the key areas for immigrants were Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places.
Long Zuguang walked in quickly and immediately touched everyone's hearts.
The largest population has migrated out of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River areas. Although this has greatly eased local governance, things have now reversed. The local area has already experienced negative impacts due to population decline.
Then there is only one possibility.
Lou Fu was a decisive person. After hearing this opinion, he immediately ordered engineering troops to be dispatched from the rear and began to work overtime to build a military fortress by the river.
The vast Far North, including the New World, is lacking in population, and no amount of immigrants can fill it.
On the contrary, Zuo Mengeng looked as usual.
"This is a beautiful place. We only need to build a city to control Liaodong, suppress the grassland, and achieve long-term peace and stability."
When he learned the name of the new city, Zuo Mengeng looked extremely strange.
He ignored everyone and secretly sketched out the administrative area of Tongliao on the map, and then sent it back to Liaodong.
Lou Fu opened the file and only looked at the administrative map of Tongliao...
