Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes."

Li Jishen couldn't turn the corner.

Although I decided to leave the army, what would I do in agriculture?But judging by Duan Xun's appearance, he had already made arrangements for himself.Li Jishen wanted to continue listening to see what Duan Xun wanted him to do.

"Of course I want to set up the Agricultural Construction Corps, not just for this purpose. Do you know that since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty will send troops to farm at the border?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know why?"

"It is not so easy to supply supplies in border areas."

The traffic in ancient times was not good, and the traffic in border areas was even worse.For those troops stationed at the border, if they only rely on the supplies behind them, it will be difficult to persevere.What if there is some bad weather and the supplies are not available?The best way is to reclaim a piece of land and plant it yourself.

Therefore, since ancient times, many troops have been stationed at the border, all of which are to guard the border.

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded slightly, but continued: "The current situation is the same. Although we have begun to vigorously develop transportation construction, the traffic situation in the border areas is still very bad. Many of our frontier troops do not have very good living conditions. It is also very difficult to support them from the rear. But no matter how difficult it is, those border areas still need to be garrisoned. Besides, in order to stabilize the local farmers and stabilize agricultural production, we must lease the cultivated land to the local farmers. Therefore, the establishment After the Agricultural Construction Corps, we have no ready-made arable land for them."

"Teacher, then..."

Li Ji was dumbfounded.

Li Jishen originally thought that Duan Xun established the Construction Corps to reclaim and control the cultivated land by himself.Unexpectedly, Duan Xun said that he had no farmland for him.

"I am going to set up an agricultural construction corps in three places. One is in Heilongjiang, one is in Mongolia, and the other is in Xinjiang. I plan to build our own agricultural construction corps in these three provinces, build our grain base, and expand it Frontier population, stabilize the frontier area. Of course, food is one thing, frontier is another thing, and the other is ethnicity. I think you should be able to understand the specifics."

Li Jishen didn't speak, but was thinking about Duan Xun's meaning.

Heilongjiang, Mongolia, Xinjiang.

This is China's borderline. When Tsarist Russia was strong in the past, it was the most dangerous place in China.Moreover, these border areas are also the places with the largest number of ethnic minorities, and the areas most prone to independent tendencies.Duan Xun wanted to immigrate to these areas, but he just changed his method.Li Jishen understood in an instant.Duan Xun is going to solve the border population problem and start to expand the border population to protect the stability of the border.Moreover, a food base must be established, including ethnic issues.

"In addition to the Agricultural Construction Corps, I am also planning to set up an infrastructure construction corps."

"Basic Construction Corps?"

"Ren Chao, our country is far behind in many aspects, especially in terms of infrastructure. Our country is very large and needs more railway construction and road construction, as well as erection of electric and telephone lines. I think you should be aware of this."

"Yes."

Li Jishen nodded.

In fact, China's infrastructure development has been rapid over the years.Basically, trains have been passed between major cities and important strategic locations.Moreover, road construction has been in full swing in recent years.

It can be said that Duan Xun built more railways and highways in the four years after he took over Beijing than he built in the ten years after the Revolution of [-].And a lot more.

For infrastructure construction, Li Jishen is very supportive.Because Li Jishen is a soldier, he understands the usefulness of infrastructure construction in war better than anyone else.When mobilizing troops and military supplies, the benefits of modern transportation can be reflected.Including the role of communication during war.

"Ren Chao, I won't hide it from you. Our country is too big. The construction of railways and roads alone cannot fully meet the needs of our country without more than 50 years of construction. That is to say, from now on, our country will carry out 50 years of transportation construction. But transportation construction is a huge investment project, which needs to invest a huge amount of money every year. But the government doesn’t have that much money. See what I mean?”

Li Jishen nodded slightly.

I understood what Duan Xun meant.The government wants to do a lot of construction work and carry out big construction.Especially for large-scale construction of railways and roads, but the government has no money.

What should I do if I have no money?

Form a regiment in army mode.Although it is not free to work, it is definitely much cheaper than temporarily hiring people to work.And as long as these people work a lot, they are skilled infrastructure workers.

It is a very cheap way.

"Finally, I plan to set up an oil construction corps. Just as coal has been the most important energy source for hundreds of years, oil will be the most important energy source in the world in the next 100 years. However, the Ministry of Industry has been citing lack of funds as an excuse. I am willing to invest in the oil industry. The work of the Ministry of Industry is heavy, and I can’t force them to carry out oil construction. But I can’t just ignore it, because oil will become more and more important in the future. Therefore, I plan to set up an oil corps alone. I am planning to include the few oil fields currently owned by our country, the oil plant under construction in Fushun, and the Petroleum University to be established in the Petroleum Corps. When the Petroleum Corps becomes popular in the future, I plan to set up a special department in the cabinet The Ministry of Petroleum. There are also the Agricultural Construction Corps and the Infrastructure Construction Corps. When they succeed in the future, they will be independent and become a department or a group company. But before that, I want to establish them. It's tough, and I trust an army cadre like you who has fought wars."

Li Jishen sat up straight at this time.

Because he already understood that Duan Xun was definitely not fooling himself when he wanted to set up this construction corps.On the contrary, this corps has great power, and it has three types of construction corps under its jurisdiction.

And each one is significant.

"Ren Chao, you are my most proud student. I hope you not only have achievements in the military. When you leave the army, I expect you to have the same achievements. You used to be my right-hand man in the army. I hope you can He has also become my right-hand man in government affairs.”

"Teacher, I understand what you mean. If you let me hand over the job, I will apply for a job change."

"kindness."

"Mr. Sun Yat-sen's funeral should be done in a good manner."

On April 1925, 4, Sun Yat-sen died in Shanghai.It may be that he did not have the fatigue of traveling north in history, so although his health has been poor, he still survived March.However, after entering April, the body still failed to persist.

Influence is not small.

Speaking of which, Sun Yat-sen has not appeared in the political arena for many years. In the past few years, he has been writing with all his heart and published many of his ideas.But his influence was still great, and the news of his death quickly spread throughout China.

After Sun Yat-sen passed away, it was mainly some veterans of the Kuomintang who took care of the funeral affairs.

In fact, Duan Xun and Sun Yat-sen did not know each other.When Duan Xun was studying in Japan, he heard some speeches by Sun Yat-sen from afar.But since Duan Xun led the army, he never met Sun Yat-sen again.However, Sun Yat-sen was the first pioneer to advocate revolution after all, and the establishment of the Republic of China was closely related to him.More importantly, Sun Yat-sen was also the first interim president of the Republic of China.

Therefore, regarding Sun Yat-sen, the government must also express its position.Not to mention the Duan Xun government, as long as it is the government of the Republic of China, it is impossible to completely avoid Sun Yat-sen.

"Mr. Zhongshan is the pioneer of the revolution. Many things he advocated, including the 'Three People's Principles' and 'National Construction Strategy' he advocated, also have a lot of guiding significance for our future work. Now the Kuomintang has begun to form their funeral committee. I See, we have also sent a few government representatives to this funeral committee to express our government's attitude."

People are gone.

The past grievances are gone.

And speaking of it, although Duan Xun was born in the Beiyang Army, the Second Revolution actually failed to catch up.The Cai E National Defense Army fought in the National Defense War was not Sun Yat-sen, or the armed forces of the Kuomintang.The only thing Duan Xun suppressed, or had a military conflict with, was the Cantonese army.But at that time, Duan Xun already had the absolute upper hand, and he had great righteousness, mainly to disintegrate the Cantonese army, and he hadn't fought much.

So speaking of it, Duan Xun actually didn't fight much with Sun Yat-sen and Sun Yat-sen's troops when he led the troops.When Sun Yat-sen was alive, Duan Xun mainly suppressed Sun Yat-sen more in public opinion, but now that he has passed away, he should still be given enough respect.

"Prime Minister, you can see who is more suitable."

Dai Kan asked Duan Xun.

Because it was only about Sun Yat-sen's funeral, there were no other people.Only Duan Xun and Dai Kan will discuss first to see how to deal with this matter.

This is not a matter of interest.

As long as Duan Xun and Dai Kan reach a consensus, many things can be implemented quickly.There are many people on Duan Xun's side who are related to Sun Yat-sen.After all, many of Duan Xun's classmates and students, many of them were from the Revolutionary Party.Regardless of how later generations evaluate Sun Yat-sen, among the revolutionary parties in the late Qing Dynasty, Sun Yat-sen was the most famous.I don't know how many young students participated in the revolution because of Sun Yat-sen.

But it's hard for them to decide.

Because it's a matter of standing.No matter what friendship they had with Sun Yat-sen before, they are now under Duan Xun's subordinates.If he decides to go to Sun Yat-sen's funeral, how can he gain a foothold on Duan Xun's side in the future.

So Duan Xun still needs to make a decision.
