Lu Chengguang led four gunboats and a patrol speedboat equipped with a 20-high-level machine cannon and two heavy machine guns to escort An Yi and the grain transport fleet up the river.
Along the way, Lu Chengguang stayed with An Yi, and took the various constructions of the Poyang Lake Security Division, the training and defense of the newly established land combat brigade, and the completion and entry of the three Neihu military ports including Hukou, one by one
He reported to An Yi and discussed the construction and development plans of the water police officer.
An Yi's temporary command center is set up on the 500-ton ship "Ganlong V" of Jiangnan Shipping Company. From the captain to ordinary sailors, the ship was retired from the Independent Division and the Jiangxi Security Force, so it is with An Yi's
The guard brothers had a great conversation. The 1,300 non-commissioned officer base trainees who had just changed into military police uniforms strictly abide by discipline and stayed quietly in the cabin. The captain's room, which was only eight square meters, became An Yi's temporary office.
An Yi was very satisfied with the achievements of his old subordinate Lu Cheng Guang. In just half a year, Lu Cheng Guang handled the water police officer in a very good manner. Not only did he have two brigades of surface ships and one brigade of marines, but he also
By clearing out sixteen large and small water bandits in Poyang Lake and escorting and actual combat with soldiers participating in the Western Expedition, the combat capabilities of the officers and soldiers under his command were quickly improved, and the surface patrol troops of two regiments were recruited from the surrendered water bandits, and the use of the
These brothers who have lived on Poyang Lake since childhood took on the responsibility of guarding and patroling the waters from Hukou to Lao Nanchang, and anti-drug and anti-smuggling. They managed the waters within a radius of hundreds of miles in an orderly manner, not only providing strong security guarantees for the industrial and commercial development of Anyi Group.
He also received commendation from the Central Military Commission twice, and his strength is also growing step by step.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning after passing the Wuhan waters. After Lu Chengguang finished his work, he entered the captain's room again. He smiled at An Yi and asked:
"Master, can you tell me that the old Nanchang Shipyard can build six more patrol boats for us? After allocating a patrol speedboat to Jinan last month, the shipyard added two trial production speedboats to us, and the performance is pretty good.
The tonnage is also larger, which is very suitable for us to carry out Neihu patrol missions.
After the modified weapon configuration, several German consultants also recognized this imitation speedboat, and said that several of the improvements were more suitable for the actual needs of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake waters. This time, one was sent to Jinan, which was not enough here.
Now.”
"Hey, haven't you seized several batches of opium? The accumulated money is not a small number, and it should be fine to build ten ships!" An Yi quipped with a smile.
Lu Chengguang replied seriously: "According to the regulations, the seizure of opium and smuggled materials by the security forces and our water police officers must be concentrated in the anti-smoking and anti-smuggling bureau in Hukou, and will be handled uniformly by Lao Yang, and the subordinates are also strictly
After complying with this regulation, I never dared to do anything. The total amount of materials seized in three months was sent to a special warehouse located in Hukou, and I did not dare to slack off at all."
An Yi nodded and then asked strangely: "According to regulations, your department should receive a reward of 30%. Didn't Lao Yang allocate this amount to you?"
"The departments we divided from the independent division cooperated very well and had always strictly followed the relevant regulations. No one would be stuck and refused to give them. Lao Yang and his team sent 410,000 yuan to their subordinates within a week, but
Seeing that the newly joined brothers were living with their families, it was difficult, so they built two new villages on Xingzi on the west bank and two deserted beaches near Mount Lu to resettle tens of thousands of water bandits.
The old and young can enter in one month.
The strong support from Uncle Duo Dedao and Mr. Zhou, Jiangnan Cement Factory and Brick Factory sent ships of cement and building materials. The subordinate engineer battalions also opened mountains to quarre to support the construction of new villages. Nearly 10,000 villagers waiting to be resettled.
Only when we all took the initiative to invest in the construction of our homes can the project progress so quickly. For this reason, our subordinates invested 500,000 in order to allow all the brothers under our command to train with peace of mind and not worry about the family affairs." Lu Chengguang solemnly
answer.
"Ah!? Why don't I know about such a big thing?"
An Yi asked in surprise, then nodded: "This is a great thing to stabilize the morale of the army and benefit the people. A large amount of investment is not something you, a water police officer, can you afford... Alas, why didn't you tell me earlier
?If I had known that I would have been able to coordinate with the departments, your life would not have been so hard!"
Speaking of this, An Yi looked at Lu Chengguang with a slight reproach in his eyes.
Lu Chengguang explained with a smile: "You have so many things to deal with every day in Nanjing. Isn't you going to bother you about these trivial matters anymore? Isn't there any support from Uncle Dao and Old Nanchang's brothers?
So far, everything has been going well. More than 2,000 water bandits who had originally missed the net have also come back one after another to surrender to our army. They swear that they will work at home to farm and fish with peace of mind and never go out to rob again. The impact is very good. All around Poyang Lake
The counties and towns quickly calmed down because there was no bandit crisis. Yugan, Poyang, Duchang and Yongxiu Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to send us 200,000 military expenses, saving some money is basically enough."
An Yi nodded with confidence: "That's good, it's just a difficult thing for you. Let's do this. I'll send a telegram to Uncle Dao later, asking him to find ways to build more patrol boats for you, Yichang, South China, ban smoking and anti-smuggling
The bureau also needs to be equipped as soon as possible, and the funds will be paid by Lao Yang from the Hukou Smoking and Anti-smuggling Bureau.
This 50-ton patrol boat is very useful in inland rivers and lakes. At first, two German naval consultants made suggestions to me, and the shipbuilding drawings were also provided by them. The old Nanchang Shipyard developed under the guidance of European and American technicians
Yes, now the 300-ton cargo ship can be built on its own. Since it can successfully test the speedboat this time, it means that it can go to a higher level to build a larger ship in the future. The only disadvantage is that our weapon system is still comparable.
Let’s put on the four original imported speedboats, let them work harder to satisfy your water police officer first.”
"Thank you!" Lu Chengguang smiled very satisfied.
An Yi waved his hand: "What are our brothers, what do you thank for? Your career is my career, and I will definitely find a way to solve practical difficulties for you. Cheng Guang, you and the brothers around you must work harder and be as soon as possible.
Establish two surface security brigades and one land combat brigade. I will solve the organizational problem for you. Elevate your security headquarters to a military-level unit earlier. After disaster relief, your military rank should be promoted to a higher level.
This is not difficult to deal with, because the control of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River will soon enter the agenda of the Central Military Commission. If the commander-in-chief is not right, he will assign me to be responsible for the formulation of the overall plan, and even let me take this important task. This matter is still a matter of
Just know the secrets. Just be sure of it. Taking a look ahead is the old tradition of our model camp. Don’t miss it when the time comes.”
Lu Chengguang's eyes lit up, and he showed a bright smile to An Yi: "I understand! I will do it immediately after I go back. We don't have anything else. There are many gangsters who have nothing to do after surrendering. They can come here with just one shout.
Thousands of people, we will need a batch from the recruitment office and the non-commissioned officer base. We will send another batch to the base for further study, and we will be able to form combat effectiveness in one year."
"Good way, just do it like this, I will support it with all my strength! This time, that boy Xia Jian is really interesting. He just finished training more than 6,000 prisoners from Huzhou who were captured under his command. He heard that Ji Nan had a shortage of troops and could not blink.
He secretly sent 4,500 of the new brothers with a new look to Ji Nan, and even the new weapons and equipment on more than 4,000 officers and soldiers. Ji Nan was so grateful that he not only secretly paid to Xia Jianyi.
The million-dollar anti-smuggling proceeds and funds were seized, and I also called me twice to report to Xia Jian and asked for me for me.
Seeing that although the brothers were separated but their feelings remained undiminished, Uncle Dao and I were very moved and were planning to give Xia Jian some benefits."
An Yi sighed quite a bit and was deeply proud of having such a group of brothers who are in love with one heart and one virtue.
Lu Chengguang shook his head and smiled: "When talking about that boy Xia Jian, I remember something. He didn't tell you that he married another concubine, right?"
"Ah? Is there something wrong? This guy is really capable. He has three wives and wants to marry a concubine?" An Yi opened his eyes wide, obviously he was hit hard.
Lu Chengguang said enviously: "At first, no one of us expected that boy Xia Jian would have such a skill. Xiaofang's tigress was actually made obedient by him. Now the four women are getting along like sisters.
, the brothers were jealous! But because of this, the brothers were very harmful. Every time my subordinates went home, the wife at home repeatedly warned her not to learn from Xia Jian's grandson. My subordinates argued that our children
What are you afraid of if you are old and married? My wife said that it is because of old and married. Now, the population of old and Nanchang is 300,000 to 400,000, and there are beautiful beauties all over the streets, even the blonde and blue-eyed foreign women
Someone married to our brothers. How can our wife not worry about it?"
An Yi laughed loudly, and the adjutant Shen Feng, the staff officer Shi Pufang, Liang Zhenyu and others were also laughing back and forth. Liang Zhenyu also laughed and asked An Yi how many times he planned to marry. An Yi laughed and scolded him.
The cabin is even more lively.
After laughing, An Yi frowned, suddenly remembered a plan, turned to Lu Chengguang and asked seriously: "Cheng Guang, is there any wastelands and lakes around Poyang Lake where disaster victims can be arranged to move into?"
"There are, but the conditions are probably too bad. The area around the Sanbaoguan area north of Jinxian is full of deserted beaches and lakes. There are narrow waterways that can drive fishing boats that connect to the big lake. The area is full of bushes and reeds.
, There is no road connection, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and no one wants to live there. Last time, the infantry brigade commander Lu Linhai led his troops to pursue the water bandits twice. When he came back, he said that the waterways there were all full of fish and a few mouths.
The greedy company commander also brought people to catch three large black carp that were longer than humans. The lightest one was more than 40 kilograms. The food was probably not a problem. The victims should be hard-working, and we will not starve people if we fund some food.
, but it was a waste of effort to build a land and build a bridge in that place... Master, do you want to resettle the Northwest victims to our side?" Lu Chengguang asked.
An Yi heard that there was such an undeveloped virgin land and his eyes lit up: "What you said is a good place. As long as there is food, everything is easy to do. As for the land reclamation and building a bridge, it is no problem. Anyway, these disaster victims
I am idle, and as long as I organize it, labor will not be a problem at all.
I can't sleep these few nights, and I always worry about resettlement of disaster victims. The land in western Hubei and western Hunan is really limited. If Hunan hadn't had many deaths in many wars, it would have been impossible to resettle 100,000 or 200,000 disaster victims this time, so I kept wondering if it was
Our Nanchang area can help again, and it seems feasible now."
Speaking of this, An Yi was very energetic and asked Shi Pufang to spread the map on the desktop, then buried his head and checked it carefully, and nodded repeatedly: "Sanbaoguan This place has a large area and a wide area of water. After it is done, it is placed on two.
There is no problem with 30,000 victims. One of the most superior conditions is that victims can fish for a living before the grain matures. In addition, canned meat canned fish produced by Jiangnan Grain and Oil Food Factory has become a famous brand in the surrounding provinces, and the central government directly affiliated with the army.
The procurement has also begun. We have some ships for the victims to teach them fishing and processing, and then sell them to the cannery factory for grain and oil. It is estimated that there will be no problem until the end of the year. By the end of the year, the large amount of grain we purchased from the United States can be delivered.
The victims can also resist the spring plowing, and everything will be fine."
Lu Chengguang made a loud statement: "Even though the teacher ordered that if the disaster victims were needed, his subordinates could send all the ships in his hands to pick up people. My chief of staff, Mr. Mu, was also very enthusiastic about this and ordered his brothers to never make things difficult for the disaster victims.
If you have the conditions, you have to help. For several months, the troops have won a good reputation under his strict training. When they go back, their subordinates will discuss it with him."
An Yi sighed slightly: "Have the memories recovered?"
"I haven't gotten it right, and there are still problems with the lumbar spine. I need to go to Taoist Songjian for treatment every week, but it's much better than before. I can trot and get on the boat." Lu Chengguang replied.
An Yi sighed: "I don't have time to visit him, so I can only go next time. When you go back, you will ask me to find Lao Yang, and transfer all the engineering corps that are building the Ganzhou Highway to the Sanbaoguan area, and build the road immediately.
Build a bridge into the undeveloped area, and then open up the land and build houses afterwards, but keep the big trees and reeds and plants beside the water as much as possible to avoid soil erosion and affecting future generations.”
"Ah? All the Engineering Corps were transferred to Sanbaoguan, so the important provincial roads would not be built? In the middle of last month, five thousand engineers had been quietly transferred to western Hunan. Now only more than four thousand officers and soldiers remained to continue to build roads. If they suddenly stopped, they would have stopped.
Come down, can't you explain to Uncle De and the provincial government?" Lu Chengguang asked in surprise.
An Yi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle De no longer cares about Jiangxi's government affairs. Lu Diping, who served as the commander of Wuhan garrison, will soon take over as the chairman of Jiangxi Province. The principal will hand over the important task of suppressing bandits to him at the same time, so we will not
We need to stay in southern Jiangxi to join in the fun. Let them fight by themselves. If they really fight, they can’t repair the roads even if they want to build them. It’s better to put them on disaster relief and resettlement."
"I understand, let Brother Mu be responsible."
Lu Chengguang understood An Yi's meaning well and agreed without hesitation.
