It was not that Yang Yun didn't hear the meaning of this temptation, but he couldn't answer it. After all, the official document from the Governor only hinted at it, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it.
Since Qian Shuiting, a member of the house party, was elected as the Speaker of the Senate, the situation in the Executive Committee has become more complicated and subtle. Yang Yun coughed and wanted to find another topic.
"Report to the head! Director Lu has sent an urgent message!" Suddenly, the correspondent from the county office sent a document bag.
Liu Xiang looked at the red paint on the document bag and thought to himself: "Didn't I just meet you? It's urgent!" He took it with one hand and signed the receipt.
In a quiet room in the Taoist temple, Liu Xiang opened the secret dispatch and felt greatly relieved.
"The secret front work has also yielded results!" He quickly called Yang Yun over.
"There are thousands more strong laborers." Liu Xiang said to Yang Yun with a smile, but Yang Yun listened with confusion.
The document is about the final settlement of Baisha Shuizhai and Haikou Qianhu Station.
The two places have maintained relative independence after the Fubo Army peacefully entered. However, after Tang Yunwen's remnant troops in Hezhen retreated, they had already formed a situation of besieging the isolated city. After the rout of Chengmai, although Tang Yunwen's troops suffered few casualties,
However, morale was low, and most of the equipment and food supplies were lost. Most of the ships in Baisha Water Village were destroyed or sunk during the siege of Qiongshan, and the rest were old and decaying ships that could not be used.
Tang Yunwen's current strength consists of less than 2,000 land and sea troops under his command and several hundred military households in Haikou Suo City. Suo City a little further away has either been taken over by the Senate or has been cut off from contact, let alone fighting.
, even to protect himself, it was difficult to continue. He was unable to fight, and he did not dare to abandon his official position and flee. He could only sit back and watch the ambush army enter Qiongshan County, and then occupy key areas, and then launch a large-scale public security war... This
During a series of activities, the officers and soldiers of Haikou Station and Baisha Water Village remained indifferent to avoid getting burned.
However, this situation will eventually be broken, especially under the premise that the entire Hainan Island is promoting a new social system. If retaining the old government is a temporary measure, there is no need to retain the old army. Under the guidance of the General Administration of Civil Affairs and Political Security,
Under the instigation, a comprehensive acceptance and cleanup of the military household guard system on Hainan Island began.
As for the island-wide military core of the Ming army, the camps in Haikou City and Baisha Water Village became the focus of the solution.
In terms of force, it would be easy for the Fubo Army to deal with these Ming troops, but Liu Muzhou needed manpower and material resources, especially manpower. Therefore, he adopted a rather roundabout policy. The specific implementation was instigated by the General Administration of Political Security. Cheng
After the Battle of Mai, the local military households and camp prisoners of Qiongshan under Tang Yunwen were released in batches. Among these released prisoners were many "sands" who had surrendered to Lingao.
After these people were released together with other captured personnel, the political and security departments immediately used these lines to start instigating rebellion against Tang Yunwen's ministry. They encouraged dissatisfaction in the army to establish an organization in tandem. Tang Yunwen had heard about this, but since Chengdu
After the defeat of Mai and the retreat of He Zhen, the generals either died or fled, and the remaining generals and officers did not dare to take any action. They were afraid that the slightest movement would trigger a mutiny. Tang Yunwen could ensure that only less than one of his own soldiers and servants would be loyal.
There are a hundred people in the team. It is not easy to just maintain order with these few people, let alone risking the risk that thieves outside the city may interfere at any time to carry out the purge.
This typhoon was a disaster for Liu Xiang, but for some people it was an excellent opportunity. It was a great opportunity to eliminate the core of Hainan Island's official army and use this as a starting point to completely disintegrate and take over all the official troops on the island.
Under this instruction, the apparatus of the General Administration of Political Security was immediately activated.
Liu Xiang didn't know that Wu Mu, director of the General Political Security Administration's office, had secretly arrived in Qiongshan three days ago and was personally directing all work at a work station outside Haikou. When local assistance was needed, local commissioner Lu Cheng came forward.
With the help of these "sands", Tang Yunwen's granary was "destroyed by a storm", completely shattering the psychological defenses of ordinary soldiers who were still waiting to see. In the past, the Haikou Institute could still ask Qiongshan County to "supply grain and grass", but now
But they had no way out. Beyond the city and the camp was the territory of the bandits. If the Australians didn't nod, they wouldn't be able to bring in a single grain of rice or a leaf of vegetables.
A few days later, Haikou Station and Baisha Water Village, which had begun to run out of food, had completely collapsed.
Soldiers and military households left the guard station one after another and asked to "surrender". The treatment Liu Muzhou prepared for them was: those who are willing to serve as soldiers, and those who pass the physical examination and political examination will be recruited by the training directorate of the Fubo Army; those who are unwilling to serve as soldiers
After being "purified" with military families, they will be assigned by the civil affairs department to work or farm.
Tang Yunwen and his soldiers, it doesn't matter whether they surrender or not, if they are willing to come, they will be treated equally. If they don't want to come, it doesn't matter. Let him continue to maintain Baisha with those few people and a mediocre "boat"
Shuizhai will serve as a short-term coastal defense counselor. Of course, the soldiers' food and salary will not be provided. The mainland's rates can still be paid as usual.
A large part of the reason why these people were willing to "surrender" was because they were short of food. The secret document asked the Qiongshan County Office to try to mobilize three to five days of food rations to supply the surrenderers in Haikou Station.
Therefore, Liu Xiang called Yang Yun and asked him to pick up the food in Qiongshan County. He really didn't have much food to dispatch. He had other considerations in mind. With the population of this group of military households, the Executive Committee had to pay attention to Qiongshan County.
I'm afraid they won't be so persistent in population exploitation.
After Yang Yun heard the situation, he first said some correct nonsense such as "Congratulations to all fronts for their major achievements", and then the two began to have an "active dialogue" on the relief issues of these military households. After all, this is
The sudden appearance of thousands of people was also a surprise to Yang Yun, as no such standard relief materials had been prepared for them in advance.
The food problem was actually Yang Yun's second goal when he came to Qiongshan. Wu De had given him instructions before he set off, asking him to try to get some "surplus grain" from Qiongshan. However, after he arrived in Qiongshan, he realized that Liu Xiang was interested in
There is obvious resistance to the collection of surplus grain. The cooperation in labor recruitment can be seen as reluctant. I am afraid that Liu Xiang will not cooperate at all on the issue of surplus grain. Liu Xiang is prepared to boycott the collection of surplus grain, no matter how much grain the landowners in Qiongshan have.
, he opposed the use of means to plunder this part of the private sector's grain reserves in disaster years. First of all, this harms social stability. Secondly, to recover from the disaster, we cannot just rely on relief from the Planning Institute and the People's Committee for Civil Affairs, but must also rely on local savings.
.As for how to force large households to take out food, this should be an economic issue.
Just when almost all work revolves around disaster relief, early this morning, an unexpected guest came to Qiongshan County.
"Lao Tang, we are so close to each other, so why don't you send your son some red eggs when he is one month old?"
"Haha, I'm a person who rolls in coal piles all day long. Wherever the red eggs come from, they will be black when boiled!" Tang Menglong took the opportunity to look after the children to return to Lingao for an activity and wanted to be transferred back to Lingao.
I have been assigned to other places, but I haven't been able to do so for the time being.
Liu Xiang and Tang Menglong were sitting in the office, and Guo Linger brought each of them a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
"Why are you free today?" Liu Xiang asked.
"Hey, don't mention it. The wire that finally got us to the mine's telegraph line was damaged by rain in several sections, but I don't know who took advantage of the rain and ran away with the iron wire." Arrival at Jiazi Coal Mine
The cable telegraph network in Qiongshan County has been open for less than a month.
Tang Menglong took a big sip of his drink and calmed down: "The Planning Institute also said that Qiongshan is a public security area and there is no need for a radio station. It asked me to hand over the radio in the mine. I had no choice but to come to you to send a telegram.
."
"It needs to be repaired quickly!" Liu Xiang could clearly see that he hadn't finished speaking yet, "The public security district belongs to the public security district, and the local work is not yet fully in place."
"Of course, I am preparing personnel and applying for supplies. I will start repairs as soon as the rain stops." Tang Menglong said: "However, we still have some things in the mine that I want your help with. Xiao Liu, you have to help me.
.”
"Hey, why are you so polite! Your Jiazi Mine is a unit directly under the central government, so we at the local level will definitely give you strong support."
"Don't talk about direct reports. I contacted them the night before yesterday and said that the weather conditions were bad and the ships transporting food supplies could not be dispatched." Tang Menglong said: "The food stored in the mine is only enough for four days. Every day the workers have to
Eating 4,000 calories of food will consume the food I have stored there very quickly! In the past, I had to prioritize mines no matter what!"
"The sea conditions have been bad these days, and several places have recently required the use of ships, so the transportation capacity is relatively tight." Liu Xiang felt nervous. I don't have much food here, so I had no choice but to say "Oh, Jiazi Mine's
The production tasks have increased again. But I am not given more manpower and machinery, so how can I increase production? When the typhoon comes, the shipping across the Nanjiang River has to be stopped. The coal cannot be transported out, and it is not a problem to pile it up by the river." Tang Menglong
He continued to complain, "We use small barges to transport coal, and the tow boats have been damaged a lot. We only sent them out for repairs, but not a few were sent back for replenishment. This inland water transport team has quickly become Wang Xiaoer."
Although the quality of Jiazi Coal Mine is not good, it is far inferior to the high-quality anthracite coal shipped from Hongji. However, the coal from Jiazi Mine belongs to the Changchang Coal Series and has the advantage of low sulfur content. It is more suitable for making metallurgical coke. At the current stage, it is Ma
The only supplier of coke to the Niao Iron and Steel Complex, the high-quality iron ore shipped from Sanya requires coke refined from lignite from the Jiazi Coal Mine in order to maintain production.
The demand for coke of the No. 1 blast furnace is 30,000 tons per year. The No. 2 blast furnace is still under intensive construction. You can imagine how huge the gap in coking coal is!
