Yang Fan crossed his arms, looked at the map with one hand, touched his chin, and looked at the map.
Hoh Xil, this area was still a wasteland until modern times. On the map, there is a large area of no man's land. Qinghai is divided into two parts by the Kunlun Mountains. The north is an area suitable for grazing and farming, and the south is basically a desert and no man's land.
The north is further divided into two parts. The western two-thirds of the area is the Qaidam Basin with rich water and grass. The Tuyuhun (Western Xianbei) relied on this grassland to dominate the Western Region.
The east is centered on Qinghai Lake and is divided into Haixi, Haidong and other regions. There is also a small east-facing river valley suitable for crop production in the far east.
Xining is located in the Hehuang Valley in the east. The terrain here is like a bitten apple. The bitten part is the only low-altitude area in Qinghai.
This is the only area where agriculture can be developed. The entire Qinghai relies on food provided here.
After Wang Hao arrived, he vigorously immigrated to the Hehuang Valley. This area was far from developed. After research, Wang Hao found that agriculture in Xizang and Qinghai could only rely on river valleys, which were typical river valley agricultural areas.
The valley has a low altitude, sufficient heat, fertile soil, and convenient irrigation. The plateau has sufficient sunlight and a large temperature difference between day and night. It is very suitable for development into farmland.
The Hehuang Valley is actually not small in area. It is located in the fertile triangle zone of the Yellow River and Huangshui River basins, in the eastern part of Qinghai Province.
The Hehuang Valley, from east to west, is Minhe County, Ledu District, Ping'an County, Huzhu County, Xining City, Datong County, Huangyuan County, Huangzhong District, Haiyan County, and the Yellow River Basin.
Xunhua County, Hualong County, Jianzha County, Guide County.
The Qinghai governance strategy that Yang Fan gave to Wang Hao clearly clarified the strategy of focusing on developing these thirteen counties. As long as the immigrants take root here and develop a stable agricultural area, Qinghai will be controlled. From now on, it will always be the land of the Han people.
.
The cultivated land area of the Hehuang Valley in Qinghai accounts for 60% of the province's total. Although the Hehuang Valley's area is only 4% of the total area of Qinghai Province, it is one of the most important agricultural production areas in Qinghai Province. 4.5 million cultivated land can be developed here.
mu. Once developed, it will be enough to supply the food supplies of Qingzang and Zang provinces.
This greatly reduces the burden on the Hetao agricultural belt. In the future, the industry and agriculture in the Hehuang Valley will be responsible for supporting the snow area. The industry and agriculture in the Hetao area will be responsible for supporting the western regions. The industry and agriculture in Monan will be responsible for supporting the entire Inner and Outer Mongolia region. The northeastern region will
It will be self-sufficient, and even surplus output can be used as strategic reserves.
In later generations, the Hehuang Valley only accounted for one-thirtieth of the area of Qinghai Province, but concentrated three-quarters of Qinghai Province's population, and its total industrial and agricultural output value accounted for more than 80% of Qinghai Province's total output value.
It also has developed transportation, numerous natural and cultural landscapes, and almost all of a province's politics, economy, and culture are concentrated here. Such an area is rare in other provinces and regions in the country.
Wang Hao was very excited after reading his "Qinghai Development Strategy". If this place is developed, the credit will be equivalent to opening up the territory. As the first de facto governor of Qinghai, he will surely go down in history.
He has been reporting to the New Town Secretariat, applying for 100,000 displaced households to be resettled here. However, the immigrants are mainly going to the back and outer areas, and he can't take care of it here.
Qinghai is far from pacified and is not a safe area. What Wang Hao actually controls is the Xining area and the Hehuang Valley area. Even the area around Qinghai Lake is just a Mi system area. Not to mention the vast Qaidam Basin.
Although everyone there seems to have surrendered, problems may still arise if something big changes.
For example, when the Heshuote tribe in eastern Xinjiang invaded, the grassroots were unable to protect themselves and immediately rebelled.
In this case, it is impossible for the Secretariat to immigrate in large numbers. After all, the immigration must ensure their safety. It only approved 20,000 farmers and 1,000 craftsmen households to take steamships to the surrounding areas of Xining for resettlement. This is Wang Hao
The basis of current governance in Xining.
However, a lot of high-yield seeds and seeds adapted to the climate here were given to them. Tian Zili also sent a team to guide agricultural development.
Yang Fan used a pencil to mark the tribal residence of Quetu Khan. At present, Hoh Xil, a huge wilderness that accounts for a quarter of Qinghai, is home to many wild animals and is populated by the Quetu Khan tribe from Khalkha.
Because the grass here is relatively thin, they have to spread out their nomads to barely feed their cattle and sheep. The 20,000 herdsmen are divided into thousands of grazing spots to maintain their survival needs.
No one knows where the royal court of Quetu Khan is, and Yang Fan doesn't have enough Uzbeg horses for the scouts to find. After all, Hoh Xil is too big.
It won’t help if there are too few people, but supplies will be a problem if there are too many people. The yaks can’t keep up with the speed of the horses.
After all, Mongolia is accustomed to living on the plateau, and the Khalkha Mongols were far more adaptable than the Han people when they came to this higher place.
However, he can't leave like this. Although he must go to Jinshan City in the Komodo region as soon as possible, because this winter, the camel cavalry army will be dispatched to attack Zhasak Tuhan and Tangnu Ulianghai.
They are in the camp in the winter and cannot support each other. Kill them first.
In this way, there will be no threat from the north, and all attention will be focused on the desert Mongolia in the west.
However, with the current tense situation in Qinghai, he could not leave.
The main reason is that Baili Tusi and Zangba Khan have united, and now Chuitu Khan is wooing the Heshuote tribe to move eastward into the Qaidam Basin. If these four parties squeeze in from four directions, Yang Fan can only give up sending the master into Zang.
Let’s stick to Xining City first.
After all, he cooked a table of dishes and received four tables of guests.
The Us Tibetan army and 5,000 armed lamas he prepared were to deal with Zangba Khan, but now there were 50,000 more cavalry from the Heshuote tribe, 30,000 Baili chieftains, and 20,000 defeated troops from Zangba Khan. This way.
The hostile army numbered as many as 150,000.
Quetu Khan has become a big trouble. He threatens the Tang-Tibet ancient road at any time in Hoh Xil. This is currently the only way in and out of Xizang.
The master's route south must pass through Hoh Xil. What if Chotu Khan intercepts him on the way? The 5,000 lama soldiers cannot resist the 20,000 Mongolians.
The plateau area has a higher altitude. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure and the smaller the air density. The air is thin and the air pressure is about 60% of that in the plain area.
This means that if a conventional steam engine is used directly, due to lack of oxygen, combustion will be insufficient, the expected power cannot be achieved, and the machine may even fail to work properly.
