February 5, 1910 AD, Neijiang.
"The comrades of the Navy have done a great job this time and far exceeded my expectations."
Wen Desi said with a smile on his face: "It seems that in this era, the diplomacy of giant ships and cannons is the most convincing, haha Ha ha" "Mr.
Wen, don't just praise the navy.
The army and air force have also done a good job."
Military Secretary Gu Xiaoyuan said: "The army also successfully took over Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia last month, and made Japan recognize the ownership of Jiandao.
The air force He also contributed a lot to assisting the Army in regaining these areas.
If it hadn't been for their assault on Ili, Yang Zengxin wouldn't have surrendered so honestly."
"Of course, the performance of the three armies is good."
Wen Desi smiled, and then asked: "What opinions does Lao Zhao have on governing the northwest?
Well, I shouldn't ask.
Then tell him, don't kill the traitors you catch easily. , the labor camps also require a lot of labor.”
After taking over the central power, Wen Desi quickly fulfilled his original promise to Zhao Erfeng.
In August last year, he appointed him as the commander of the newly formed Northwest Military Region, promoted him to the rank of Army Lieutenant General, and concurrently served as the governor of Xinjiang, in charge of Xinjiang. , military operations in the four provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia.
Note that the Ningxia Province in this plane was divided by the Beiyang government and was much larger than the Ningxia in the Red Dynasty.
Because Mr.
Wen also felt that the Ningxia divided by the Red Dynasty in later generations was unreasonable, so he followed the division of Beiyang without any change.
After Lao Zhao received the appointment, he happily took office.
Due to the special situation in the northwest region, the complex and harsh environment, the vast territory, the local extremist and separatist forces are very strong, the central ruling power has always been weak here, and there are also foreign powers watching.
Therefore, the military force deployed in the Northwest Military Region is quite strong, with a total of 5 Class A divisions, namely: 9th Division Commander Xie Yue, 13th Division Commander Luo Changqi, 19th Division Commander Bi Luhai, 20th Division Commander Er Baxing, 21st Division Commander Teacher Li Liejun. 2 Type B divisions: Zitan, commander of the 101st Division, and Wang Yutao, commander of the 106th Division.
As well as Bian Zhenkan, commander of the 13th Mixed Brigade, and Wen Xiaowo, commander of the 14th Mixed Brigade, there are a total of seven divisions and two brigades, with a total strength of 182,000.
The Air Force also has five fighter jet wings and two airship wings stationed here.
Due to transportation capacity problems, these troops were not in place at one time.
Currently, Lao Zhao has 3 A divisions and 2 mixed brigades, as well as 3 air force wings.
But these troops are enough for him to get high.
Some time ago, Lao Zhao also went to the China Military University in Wuchang for a six-month advanced command course.
In addition, he already has a talent in this area.
After graduation, he also has a deeper understanding of modern warfare.
Coupled with the fact that he is equipped with enough political commissars and staff assistants, there is no problem in commanding a modern army.
After he accepted the command in Xi'an, he marched westward.
With the cooperation of the air force, he annihilated hundreds of bandits, extremist forces and rebels, large and small, along the way.
According to Lao Zhao's consistent By nature, this road is naturally stained with blood.
The hostile elements were killed with heads rolling, and rivers of blood flowed.
The scene of pacifying Tibet was repeated again in the northwest.
Especially Luo Changqi's 13th Division is the most skilled at doing this kind of thing.
Many of the main personnel of this unit reorganized from the original Eighteen Towns are "liberation fighters" and are Zhao Erfeng's old subordinates who pacified Tibet.
This kind of work is naturally very easy to do.
Many local famous people have inherited it for hundreds of years.
Their homes were ransacked, all the people were arrested, all the adult men were beheaded, and the women and children were handed over to the troops behind them.
His proficiency in confiscating homes and seizing people stunned the other brother troops.
Regarding the doubts of the fraternal troops, Commander Luo Changqi of the 13th Division said that since they became a People's Liberation Army unit, their methods have been much gentler than before.
In the past, not even a single person from these rebel families would be left.
Some officers did not agree with this approach and reported it to Mr.
Wen.
After Wen Desi learned about it, he did not impose any actual punishment on Zhao Erfeng and the 13th Division.

He only scolded Zhao Erfeng and the 13th Division a few words in the order, saying that their actions were ineffective.
Let them "kill less and do more labor reform" for those rebels in the future.
After all, only labor can create value, and dead people cannot work.
However, by this time, the population of the northwest region had been reduced by almost one-fifth.
All reactionaries and criminal elements such as bandits who participated in the rebellion were basically killed by Lao Zhao, and the remaining few were with the families of the hostile elements.
They were all sent to labor camps and underwent labor reform.
The horses and horses that caused a lot of trouble in the Republic of China period in the original time and space are gone.
It can be said that these northwest warlords were strangled in the cradle by Lao Zhao.
Under Zhao Erfeng's iron-blooded methods of cutting through the mess quickly, in less than half a year, all the rebellious forces in Northwest Dading were swept away by Li Ting, and the spying foreign forces were driven out without mercy.
The name "Butcher Zhao" once again resounded throughout the country.
What is different from the original time and space is that when people talk about "Zhao Butcher" now, they all say that he is the "contemporary class leader" and "the one who surpasses Zuo Jigao".
Compared with the infamy of "slaughtering the revolutionary masses" in the original time and space, it is simply a world of difference.
However, to be honest, with Lao Zhao's consistent style, his massacre is not only aimed at the "revolutionary masses", but has always been like this.
The nickname "Butcher Zhao" came to him when he was a Taoist priest in Yongning Road.
At that time, a large-scale gang fight broke out between the branch of the Ge Laohui of the "Dragon Club" in southern Sichuan and the "Chenghui".
The "Dragon Club" was dissatisfied with the results of the government's handling of the matter, and finally announced an uprising under the leadership of their leaders Peng Youzhang and Peng Qingcheng brothers.
The Peng brothers called themselves "Peng Hui".
King Nan", killed officials and rebelled.
Zhao Erfeng went to suppress it and almost wiped out the "Dragon Club", a dynamic social organization.
Not only that, Zhao Daotai also ordered a mountain search, searching all the ravines, caves, forests and grass.
Anyone who has anything to do with the "Dragon Club", regardless of age or sex, will be killed if caught.
As for Tibet on the edge of Sichuan, let alone it.
Anyway, according to Lao Zhao himself, "I don't have the ability to solve the problems in the northwest, but I can eliminate the problems."
Wen Desi frowned and said: "I want to explain to Lao Zhao that although his method alone is very effective, it can only reduce the number of enemies, but cannot strengthen himself.
Now that the overall situation in the northwest has been stabilized, we must He cooperates well with Comrade Bai Siwen and Comrade Makji of the General Administration of Religion to implement the Tianshan Plan and the Congling Plan.
These two plans will be the most efficient solution.
Once completed, the northwest will become our own power. " Mr.
Wen also knew very well that based on the situation there, it would be difficult to succeed if the Tianshan Plan was carried out directly, because the local radical reactionary forces were very powerful and almost completely controlled the grassroots.
Without killing them hard first and destroying the original power organization, the new religion would not work there at all, so he sent Lao Zhao there.
It is necessary to show force first, and then be gentle.
In the future, it must be both soft and hard, and a complete cultural change is the way to go.
The appeasement policy of blind compromise and bribery is absolutely unachievable.
Outer Mongolia, the trading city.
Buying City was an important city on the Sino-Russian border in the Qing Dynasty.
It was located south of the Kyakhta River.
Across the river was the Russian city of Kyakhta.
On September 1, 1727, the fifth year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia and the Qing government signed the Treaty of Lensky here, which the Russian side called the Treaty of Kyakhta.
According to the provisions of the treaty, the two countries were bounded by the Kyakhta River.
The old city of Kyakhta in Hebei was assigned to Russia.
The Qing Dynasty built a new town in Henan, Altambula, as a Sino-Russian trading place.
It was known as "Business City" in Chinese.
Before the mid-19th century, this city had always been the largest Sino-Russian trade center.
The annual transaction volume was more than 10 million US dollars, accounting for 1520 of China's total import and export value.
Russia became China's second largest trade after the United Kingdom. partner.
After the signing of the Sino-Russian Tianjin Treaty, the trading location was transferred to Heilongjiang.

The transaction volume here dropped sharply and began to decline.
When the Siberian Railway opens to traffic, this place will be completely finished.
To this day, the prosperity of that time can only be seen from the numerous local houses, wide streets and vast cargo yards.
Since last month, the shopping city that has been dormant for many years has become lively again.
But those who came were not businessmen, but soldiers.
In January 1910, the Third Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army officially entered the city.
The huge airship brought a large number of prefabricated houses and building materials for the cold zone.
The officers and soldiers braved the severe cold to build the prefabricated houses, and at the same time used the building materials to urgently reconstruct and repair the original abandoned houses and transform them into barracks.
After a noncommissioned officer put together a house plank, he said depressedly: "Battal Commander, it's so cold here that your nose will freeze off."
He was from the south, and he really couldn't do anything about this kind of climate.
Fortunately, the design of the prefabricated house for cold zones provided behind is very scientific.
Each component is modular and the installation is extremely simple, just like putting together building blocks.
Even four novices can build a 150-square-meter house in just three hours.
"Yeah, it's much colder than my hometown Tangshan."
Yi Damao nodded.
Even though he is from the north, he can't stand the low temperature here.
He kept talking without stopping, and fixed the last piece of the ceiling with screws in two or three strokes.
"Okay, this house is finished, let's try to connect the heating pipes immediately."
The heating pipes covered with insulation were quickly connected, and with the introduction of high-temperature steam, the whole room suddenly became warm.
Yi Damao took off his cold-proof hat and said happily: "Hahaha, fortunately our army is thoughtful and has not only special tents for the cold zone, but also this kind of prefabricated house.
Without these, we will definitely not be able to survive.
I used to be in Tangshan When winter comes, people freeze to death every year, let alone where it’s even colder.”
A second lieutenant said: "Yeah, I still think that kind of boiler truck is really amazing.
It can follow our new army.
It can supply boiling water when it stops, and it can be used as a heater when connected to pipes.
I never thought there would be such a thing before.
Good stuff, our engineers are really amazing.”
The sergeant just now also said: "Battal Commander, speaking of it, our Third Division has traveled all over the country.
From the hottest Guangdong to the coldest Outer Mongolia, there are good things.
When we were in Guangdong, we had air conditioning, and when we arrived in Outer Mongolia, we had good things.
There is also heating.
I think the foreign army’s conditions are not as good as ours.”
"It goes without saying that our Chinese technology is very good.
Look at those airships outside.
Apart from us, that country has them," Yi Damao said proudly.
Everyone commented on the handed-out cold zone equipment for a while, and then started talking about this mission.
Yi Damao said: "Our mission this time is to guard against the old Maozi on the opposite side.
We can't be careless.
Our superiors have already said that this old Maozi is very powerful in combat.
It is not comparable to the Qing army and the Beiyang army we fought before.
If there is a fight, , everyone must be careful.”
"These old idiots are really nothing.
Their territory is already big enough, and they want to extend their claws into China."
The second lieutenant said angrily.
"Not only old men, but also little Japanese devils are nothing."

"It doesn't matter whether they are old men or little devils.
As long as they dare to stretch out their claws, we will chop them into pieces.
Humph, our New China is not the coward of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who wants to treat our country as fat. , You have to be prepared to have your teeth broken."
Yi Damao said fiercely.
While everyone was having a lively conversation, the correspondent from the battalion came over and said: "Battal Commander, the division political commissar is looking for you and wants you to go to the division political department immediately."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Yi Damao nodded, turned around and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, you can rest for a while and then continue working.
Today we have to install the remaining houses.
In addition, the tents Don’t rush to demolish it.
If the house is not enough, you can live in it
