Wang Jiuling started planning the Martyrs' Shrine in Xikang after Wang Jiuling captured Xikang. The Martyrs' Shrine must be built in a remote place, which would neither occupy good land nor be too far from the urban area. Wang Jiuling repeatedly compared several of these places.

In the past few months, we have to design the interior and exterior of the Martyrs' Shrine. Just like military uniforms, the clothes are enviable. Everyone wants to wear them, and everyone wants to be a soldier. Similarly, Wang Jiuling of the Martyrs' Shrine also hopes to make soldiers
After watching it, I felt a sense of pride and felt that death was not that terrible. Everyone wanted to go to the battlefield and fight their lives.
Although a lot of time was delayed in the middle, Xikang has been in danger. Wang Jiuling is also desperately trying to accumulate power. After all, he still has to ensure that the living people continue to survive.
It was not until the beginning of this year that everything started to be constructed, and it was basically completed in June. Just looking at the design drawings, the scale is grand and makes people feel very proud.
The Martyrs' Shrine was built in the west district of Panzhihua, which is now the west district of Shangri-La City. The main hall covers an area of two square kilometers. It enshrines the soldiers who died in Xikang, including agents and administrative staff. They will not enter. This place only belongs to soldiers and agents.
, outside is a large square 500 meters long and 300 meters wide. There is also a camphor tree dug by Wang Jiuling from other places. He just cut off all the branches, but the branches can grow out quickly. These
The camphor trees are divided into 6 rows, with one row on each edge. In addition, the trees on both sides are 15 meters apart horizontally and 3 meters apart vertically. The trees are surrounded by strips of stone. At the same time, these strips of stone
It can also be used as a stool to sit on, and in the middle are nine large bronze tripods, three horizontally and three vertically. Those who come to worship can place incense in the big bronze tripods.
But what Wang Jiuling is most proud of is that in the square and the Martyrs' Shrine, Wang Jiuling had people make Tao Yong figures of 1.72 to 1.75 meters each, imitating the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. They all held Qin Dynasty statues in their hands.
The spears or halberds were guarded in the square and the Martyrs' Shrine like guards. They looked murderous and mighty. Later, people were amazed when they discovered the terracotta warriors and horses, because these terracotta warriors and horses looked the same as the terracotta warriors and horses in the Martyrs' Shrine in Xikang, wearing armor.

In order to show off Xikang's strength and let these Beiyang bosses feel comfortable being Chinese, Wang Jiuling sent people to take them to visit Xikang's steel plants, arsenals, automobile manufacturing plants, and hydropower stations without a group of people coming.
Wait, finally take them to the Chung Martyrs' Shrine to pay homage to the souls of the dead, and let them experience the strength of China. China is not that unbearable, and will not perish. The only one that will perish in the end will be Japan.
For figures like Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and Tang Shaoyi, Wang Jiuling personally accompanied them to visit the military industrial construction in Xikang. When everyone saw that Xikang's industry was so developed, they felt that they were lagging behind, and at the same time they secretly thought that they had come to the right place.
Perhaps they can witness the power of China in their lifetime
Wang Jiuling took the opportunity to win over them. Although these people's ideas of governing the country were backward, Wang Jiuling decided to let them familiarize themselves with the military and politics of Xikang first, and then choose what they wanted to do based on their interests. Of course, there were other Beiyang bosses, but
Wang Jiuling will not let them have real power. He will only let them serve as advisers, consultants or students to guide the students in the school.
The officers under Wang Jiuling are generally younger. Li Huixian and Huang Peiyao are almost the same age as Wang Jiuling, but they are already the commander-in-chief of a group army. After the military operation in Jiaozhi is completed, Wang Jiuling will station Yu Yu in Tibet.
The Han transferred back and organized and trained a full group army, while Tibet was handed over to local guards for defense. Just like Jiaozhi, Xikang also had its own guards responsible for daily defense.
The four armies of Huang Peiyao, Sun Chuanling, Yu Han, and Li Huixian serve as field offensive forces. Now each field army has expanded to 120,000 people. In addition to the basic fire support of each unit, they also have an artillery division and additional armor.
One division, one special infantry regiment, another cavalry division, and four armies with a total strength of 460,000 people
These horses were obtained by Wang Jiuling from Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Qinghai in exchange for guns, artillery, and ammunition. Not to mention the two horses in Ningxia and Qinghai, Xinjiang only began to fully control the Xinjiang region in its heyday in 1933. Historically, he has been following the Soviet Union
Go, but Wang Jiuling sold him rifles last year. There are also artillery, weapons and ammunition are much cheaper than those in Soviet Russia, and horses are produced in Xinjiang. Only in the prosperous times can these things be exchanged for guns and ammunition. Compared with Soviet Russia,
Russia is greedy and wants all kinds of rights and interests. Wang Jiuling is his savior. He has never made any demands. Moreover, considering that Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated and has no money, he also promised to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for the weapons and materials he needs.
Even Shengshicai couldn't believe it if there were two horses in front of him to set an example. He always felt that Wang Jiuling had a conspiracy
But he couldn't feel it, because Wang Jiuling never made any demands, so the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. Wang Jiuling could get a large number of Xinjiang horse equipment troops. In a country with underdeveloped transportation and lack of oil, if China rashly implements mechanization, then
I don’t know how I died, so transportation of animals such as horses and stoves is very important.
Wang Jiuling once thought about asking Sheng Shicai to find a way to organize Soviet Russia's infiltration, but Wang Jiuling stopped after thinking about it. Xinjiang's ethnic minorities make up the majority. Sheng Shicai is not Fu Zuoyi. He doesn't have the courage or strength. Xinjiang is still too biased.
Wang Jiuling has been building roads around. For example, not only has Tibet built many roads to Qinghai, but also built a road to Xinjiang. Xikang has also built many roads to Qinghai. Things from Xikang are also flowing into Qinghai.
Qinghai flows into Gansu, Xinjiang, and Ningxia
The railway from Leshan to Chengdu will be open to traffic by August this year. Wang Jiuling is already planning to build a road from Chengdu to Baoji, Shaanxi, and then to Lanzhou to Xining. Then Lanzhou is building to Xinjiang, and another railway from Baoji will be built to Yinchuan, Ningxia.
, and then from Yinchuan to Suiyuan, no matter how much it costs, Wang Jiuling will do it
Wang Jiuling wanted to connect the entire northwest territory with railways, so that if a foreign enemy invaded, he could quickly mobilize troops to fight. Wang Jiuling's idea was supported by the surrounding warlords. Anyway, they did not pay for it. The second they had followed him
Xikang has received a lot of benefits from trade, and taxes have obviously been increased. If the railway is built, I believe the situation will be better. Xikang can easily destroy them based on its strength, but they forget that there are not that many, and not only do they not do that
, instead they sold a large number of guns and ammunition to them, and they also sent troops to each other to learn from each other. For example, the combat tactics of Wang Jiuling's cavalry were all derived from Erma's cavalry, and Wang Jiuling also sent officers to help them receive modern training.
