Because this war is a war that will determine the future history of China. In the past three thousand years, the threat from the north will be completely eliminated. The huge boulder that weighs on the agricultural people of China will be completely removed.
In autumn, when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, it is the time when Mongolia is the strongest in the desert. The horses have eaten enough grass seeds and are fat and strong. Yang Fan does not plan to launch an attack now. Yang Fan has set the time for the attack in winter.
One is to fight with a large corps, which requires a huge amount of preparations and materials. The other is that Yang Fan needs to mobilize troops and generals, gathering people from all walks of life to fight, transport, and maintain security.
Winter is also the most difficult time for the nomads. Yang Fan plans to harass them all winter long and make them weak. The beginning of spring is when the horses are at their weakest, and it is then that a decisive battle will be launched.
This time, the entire Yang family system was mobilized, and trains were driven to Hami one after another.
Tens of thousands of trucks sent from the Horn of Africa have arrived in the new city. They are all put into use by various departments. The investment of these steam trucks has suddenly increased the efficiency of transportation by hundreds of times.
It also boosted the production capacity of refineries in Cangzhou. After all, fuel oil is a better steam engine fuel than firewood.
Nowadays, kerosene is in short supply as a new lamp oil, and gasoline is bought as fuel by gasoline stoves and heating oil heaters. Yang Fan's field troops are big users. All diesel oil is bought and stored by Yang Fan. The remaining fuel oil is now used in large quantities by ships.
, even steam locomotives are equipped with a fuel oil tank car, which is used to inject oil into the combustion chamber of the coal-fired steam engine when speed needs to be increased.
Even the remaining asphalt has become a good material for paving roads.
Now everyone has discovered that when it comes to oil, the whole body is full of treasures, and there is nothing left.
Because the performance was so good, all products were in short supply, so the stock prices of Daming Petrochemical and Daming Petroleum more than doubled. People who invested in stocks went crazy, and many early investors made a fortune.
Those gentry who hid their money underground were simply shocked. With such a good investment method, who would hide their money? A large amount of money began to enter the stock market.
Yang Fan allocated 3,000 steam trucks at one time and established a truck transportation division. The division was based in Hami. After the railway transportation arrived in Hami, steam trucks were used for transportation to the Komodo front line.
Hami became the largest war logistics and material base. More than a thousand wooden villas and military barracks were built here. The largest field hospital, military warehouses, and livestock breeding bases were established.
In the future, the end of the railway will be the starting point of road transportation. As the army advances westward, the truck transportation line will continue to extend to the west.
This is also the base camp for the logistics supply of the entire war. More than 3,000 steam vehicles are gathered here. After a transport division was established in Hami, the division commander was Che Xiaolin. Because logistics is so important, it must be someone whom Yang Fan trusts and understands.
Don't worry, leave your back to him.
Wang Hao was transferred to Xining to serve as the commander of the Qinghai Cavalry Division and was awarded the rank of major general. Che Xiaolin was transferred to the newly established Motor Transport Division as the division commander.
Yang Fan's main consideration was that Che Xiaolin had been in charge of the camel team to transport supplies to Jinshan City. She had experience in managing 400,000 camels.
He was familiar with this road and the environment along the way. When organizing such a large-scale baggage transportation, he completed the task in an orderly manner. He effectively guaranteed the supply of materials and ammunition for the 100,000-strong army in the Komodo region.
Yang Fan was very satisfied.
So this time, Che Xiaolin was officially promoted to the rank of major general and served as the commander of the Automobile Division.
Automakers don't just own cars.
In addition to three transportation regiments composed of 3,000 steam trucks, there is also an engineering vehicle battalion equipped with steam bulldozers, excavators, loaders, road rollers, cranes, and steam rock drilling rigs. There is also an engineer battalion, mainly responsible for roads.
, maintenance and construction of tunnels and bridges.
A cavalry battalion is responsible for protecting the safety of the division, and at the same time quickly arriving at the problem section and handling various conflicts.
These people are soldiers and they themselves carry weapons.
In the three months since Mo Zhuo was sent away, the Yang Mansion began war mobilization. Orders were issued from the Yang Mansion Military Command in the new city. Within Yang Fan's control, everyone entered a wartime state. All personnel returned to their respective units after their vacation.
Massive orders are flying like snowflakes to various factories, workshops, and ocean-going fleets.
The vast area of saline-alkali land in Tianjin's coastal area has undergone tremendous changes.
There used to be only one Beitangkou Industrial Park. Now, Yang Mansion is aggressively acquiring saline-alkali land along the coast, and more than a dozen industrial parks have been established. Along the coastline, there are all construction sites under construction.
More than 20,000 people who had previously left Beijing were supported by the Angel Entrepreneurship Fund established by Yang Fan.
Those who don’t have projects will be given projects, and those who don’t have money will be given loans. Those who don’t have equipment can finance and lease equipment with zero down payment. Those who are short of livestock can go to Xinghe Animal Husbandry Trading Co., Ltd. to form a scale to support listing financing.
More than 5,000 various companies were established, and Yang Fan officially began to promote the limited company system.
New joint-stock limited liability companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This new, modern enterprise system has a huge role in promoting the development of industry and commerce with capital as the main body.
Yang Fan's war this time will take a long time, and the various materials needed by the one hundred thousand army are astronomical. The various orders range from clothes and footwear to weapons and ammunition, from medical drugs to luggage and bedding, various tents, and field cooking utensils.
, heating equipment, military rations... countless.
These orders are also the greatest support Yang Fan has given to the retired officers and soldiers of the former Beijing Camp. Through this war, which is expected to last three years, the Yang Mansion will spend at least 50 million silver coins, which is almost the financial expenditure of the Ming Dynasty for ten years. This amount of money will be extremely
It will greatly stimulate the economy. The main entities undertaking this huge order are various enterprises founded by former Beijing camp officers and soldiers.
After the war ended, their business developed.
Yang Fan directly asked Yaoguang to allocate 20 million silver coins from the bank vault and deposit them in the treasury of Xinghe Bank Head Office as the first military expenditure. It was established with Tu Shanyue as the team leader, Lin Yueru, Song Yingsheng, and Chang Zhu as deputy
The leader of the war material management team. Coordinates the logistics supply for this war.
This time, Beizhili was ravaged by slaves and Mongols. More than three million people died, and 500,000 young adults were captured. The population loss was huge. In addition, the Jizhen mutiny last year was also a catastrophe. It led to Shun Shun.
Parts of Tianfu and Tianjin were completely destroyed.
Now that the war is over, the Jiannu slaves have fled back outside the Pass, and the entire northern part of Beizhili is resuming production and restoring social order.
Yang Fan's order will greatly restore the economy of Shuntian Prefecture. Now with the unfolding of post-war reconstruction, a large number of refugees from all over the country are once again gathering towards the northern part of Beizhili.
The drought has not abated, but has become more severe. The gentry's annexation of land has not slowed down. Instead, they have taken advantage of the disaster year to annex wildly. More farmers are being forced to leave and lose their land.
In the past, they were all refugees from Beizhili itself, but now, victims from Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and even Shaanxi have come here. I heard that Shuntian Prefecture is going to be rebuilt, and people are being recruited everywhere. You can support your whole family here.
