From to 1935 2020

Zhang Xuesi was overjoyed immediately.

Wu Hao is right, some words are indeed not suitable for him, a "genuine" Communist Party member, and it is most appropriate for Huang Ke, a "non-Communist" neutral person, to come forward and clarify the words.

Be gangster!Use Zhang Dashuai's gangster spirit to fight Chang Baldy's stubbornness!

Rootless?Then grab it!

You are the son of a bandit!When Dashuai Zhang encountered this kind of predicament, he would flip the table and grab it by force, and try his best to solve the problem!

In the strategy of the Shanxi campaign set by Chairman Li Runshi, he knew very well that the Red Army alone would not be able to eat Shanxi no matter what!

However, if the Northeast Army or even the Northwest Army is added to this table, the situation will be quite different!

Huang Ke was more and more in awe of Wu Hao. With Huang Ke's current EQ, he couldn't say those words by himself. Most of the conversation between him and Zhang Xueliang was taught by Wu Hao.As far as the ability to grasp people's hearts is concerned, he has indeed achieved the ultimate.

"Fu Zuoyi, you bandit!"

"Chang bald, you Han people are all like dogs, with one nostril for breath."

Wearing a thick sheepskin jacket, riding a horse and leading a camel caravan against the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, Ma Buqing was still cursing in his heart when walking on the grasslands of Mongolia.

He was kicked out of Baotou by Fu Zuoyi!

The second batch of arms from Japan was finally shipped to Baotou.In order to intensify the civil war in China, the Japanese directly transferred ready-made munitions from the active arsenal before the Chinese New Year to Tianjin before the Spring Festival, and loaded them on trains before the festival. , shipped to Baotou.

This time, the 29th Route Army in Pingjin paid unprecedented attention to the safety of the railway, and sent two companies of guards to escort it with the car, and the local general fire was transported to Baotou smoothly all the way.

However, Ma Buqing, who had been waiting long ago, did not get this batch of life-saving arms.Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army, who was a coward, seized the ammunition at the train station and took it for himself.

Afterwards, the angry Ma Buqing rushed to Zhangjiakou to complain to Chang Kai after the negotiation failed, but he couldn't get Fu Zuoyi to spit out the ammunition he had eaten.In this matter, although Chang Kaishen reprimanded Fu Zuoyi, it was only a reprimand. Fu Zuoyi, who hadn't hurt a single hair, refused to let go after biting him to death.

Ma Buqing heard strange words in private: the three horses in the northwest are all trash, from Yinchuan to Lanzhou, both sides can't hold on for three days, and they will collapse if they are beaten.No matter how much ammunition is given to them, it is also to send equipment to the red bandits... In fact, even Chang Baldzi's gang, if it is not necessary for the suppression of the Communist Party, would be very displeased with the three horses in the Northwest.And Fu Zuoyi's performance during the Great Wall War made Chang Kaishen feel that this person can fight, and in this extraordinary period, it is more valuable to win over—anyway, it is the generosity of others, which is what Chang bald people like to do most.

After negotiating with no results for nearly half a month, Ma Buqing, in despair, cursed bitterly, and was even driven out of Baotou by Fu Zuoyi.Then on the snowy December day, he led his camel transport brigade and embarked on the journey back to Wuwei, Gansu, empty-handed.

Historically, he transported arms from Baotou back to Wuwei, taking the route Baotou-Bayannur-Yinchuan, basically along the Yellow River.Although the journey was long, and we traveled more than 1000 miles when we arrived in Wuwei, we passed many big cities along the way, and there were supplies. Although it was difficult, it was relatively easy.

But things are different now.

While he was waiting for the first batch of arms in Baotou, the whole of Ningxia had been captured by the Red Army!Not only did Yinchuan fall, but even the Wuhai area north of Yinchuan fell into the hands of the Red Army!It turned out that the best route back to Wuwei could no longer be passed.

Fortunately, Ningxia in this period is really too big!And the Red Army's control is also limited.

At present, the Red Army's control is farthest north of Yinchuan, which is Wuhai.But from Wuhai to the border of Outer Mongolia, there is still a long distance of four to five hundred kilometers, including a large uninhabited area in the middle.

After leaving Bayannaoer, head west all the way, pass through the entire territory of Ningxia Province (referring to Ningxia in the Republic of China), reach the Alxa League, and then go south from here, you can also reach Wuwei.

Compared with the previous old route, this route does not take much more distance, but the bad thing is that there are few supply points along the way, and it belongs to the Mongolian control area.Ma Buqing actually didn't want to go this way unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, it is impossible for him not to leave!

His roots are in Wuwei!Although he and Ma Bufang have a very good relationship, and they are almost one with Qingma, Ma Bufang also asked him to come forward when he bought the gun, but Ma Buqing knew this cousin very well: if he didn't return for a long time, this greedy cousin would definitely do nothing. He swallowed his territory without any politeness.Regardless of the three horses and five horses in the northwest, we were indeed a family, but even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.In the past 30 years, the internal fighting among the Ma brothers has actually been no less than the external war.The most recent example is last year's three horses rejecting the grandson. After defeating Sun Dianying, Ma Bufang swallowed almost all the equipment captured by Sun Dianying.

"If it weren't for this, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin wouldn't have lost so quickly!"

Ma Buqing planned to transport the ammunition with a very large camel team, escorting [-] horse cavalry and [-] camels.But now, he could only go back empty-handed.The camels that were supposed to be full of ammunition boxes were now carrying food and grain chewed by horses on the road.

Ma Bufang, who was far away in Xining, already knew that the arms were seized and eaten by Fu Zuoyi. At this time, he could do nothing but be incompetent and furious.The three horses in the northwest are actually unpopular among the northern warlords.The Northwest Army closest to them is even more hostile to the three horses, even Jing Yuexiu is no exception.Even Yan Laoxi, a local rich man, would easily refuse to sell his Taiyuan made to Sanma, otherwise why would Ma Bufang order weapons from the Japanese.

When Ma Buqing left Bayannur, it was already February 1936, [-]!

"Lanzhou, Yinchuan..."

Ma Buqing was riding on the horse in a daze, and what flashed through his mind were the various "rumors" he heard when he left Bayannur, the westernmost control area of ​​the Jinsui Army.

Bayannaoer is the westernmost place in Suiyuan. The land here is fertile, but the local population is not large-mainly caused by annual wars.

But the so-called war was a long-term tug-of-war between the residents of Ningma and Suiyuan for the sake of "blocking the south of the Yangtze River" in the Hetao area.

The victors were Mongols at first, and later immigrants from northern Shanxi, and people from the Jinsui Army. Although Sanma coveted him, he has been unable to get his hands on this place.

People with three horses are extremely unwelcome here.But when traveling from Baotou to Bayannaoer, Ma Buqing unexpectedly encountered many remnants of Ma Hongbin who escaped from the south.

From their mouths, he knew that something was happening in Yinchuan, and Lanzhou was no exception...

When Yinchuan and Lanzhou fell, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin, who had rich "struggle experience", actually left behind many secrets that could make a comeback in the future.However, the Red Army that took over the area is now using the "Soviet Stalinist" method to eradicate these dark spots one by one...  

In addition, another bad news is the southernmost land east of the river: the Linxia area.

This place originally belonged to Ma Bufang in Qinghai. When Ma Bufang voluntarily abandoned this place not long ago, he deliberately searched for all the young men and livestock and took them away, leaving only a group of old and weak women and children as burdens to throw to the opponent.

The Linxia area is close to both sides of the Yellow River, and it can be regarded as a richer land in southern Gansu (relatively). In the past hundreds of years, for this land of Hetao, countless wars have taken place between the local Muslims and the Tibetans on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the plateau has been expelled. The Tibetan cavalry on the road drove away those chieftains, and it took countless blood to take root here.

But what Ma Bufang didn't expect was that the Red Army in the east only occupied Yongjing afterwards, but "turned a blind eye" to Linxia on the side, and retreated directly after coming around.

The Tibetan cavalry on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west, however, marched eastward shortly thereafter and occupied all the Linxia Hetao area southwest of the Yellow River. Ma Buqing understood the terrible meaning behind this.

In fact, the Red Army in southern Gansu has formed some kind of political alliance with the Tibetan chieftain forces on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In the land of raising Gu in the northwest, the strong are always respected!If any one side is in a weak situation, it will immediately be attacked by the surrounding pack of wolves and torn to pieces!

What Ma Buqing didn't know was that the remaining aborigines in the Linxia area were frantically crossing the Yellow River to join Ma Bufang. Facing this group of "useless" old and weak women and children, Ma Bufang also had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it.

What Ma Buqing didn't know was that not only the Tibetan cavalry, but also the Mongolian cavalry would be faced by the Qingma forces in the future!From November last year to January this year, in three months, relying on a large number of precious life-saving medicines and medical teams to fight the pre-war, the Red Army not only bought a big war horse, but also won the "friendship" between the two races, Successfully established a "united front" to jointly wipe out the three horses.

What Ma Buqing didn't know was that his camel team had been secretly watched from the moment they left Bayannur.The relevant wireless telegrams were transmitted to the south immediately amidst the beeping of the radio.

What he didn't even know was that the time when he left Bayannur was too unfortunate!

It just happened to catch up with the Red Army starting from Wuhai in the south, and was about to launch a surprise attack on Bayannur!

At the same time, the Red Second Front Army in Sichuan, which rushed into it at the end of last year, had already entered Gannan through Songpan under the support of the Gannan Red Army.In order to keep it secret, they did not directly enter the big city Tianshui.After leaving Sichuan, he went all the way westward, and will arrive in Lanzhou in the near future. After handing over the original garrison here, he will be repaired here.

When the Red Second Front Army came out of Sichuan, plus some of the North Sichuan guerrillas they brought out to support them, the total strength was as high as 8000!With the addition of this powerful new force, the former Red Army units in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region can immediately be freed up and concentrate their forces on the Eastern Front!

As for the current Red Second Front Army, although nearly half of its troops were recruits when it came out of Sichuan, they were no longer pure recruits after traveling thousands of miles.In Lanzhou, I replenished the weapons left by the other Red Army, took a short rest, and trained. Two months later, there was another group of tigers and wolves...

And the two "experts" that Huang Ke strongly recommended to Wu Hao, who can solve the Northwest issue and Xinjiang issue, happen to be in the Red Second Front Army now.

Note: My memory was wrong earlier, and I made a small mistake: in history, Xia Xi died in February 1936. I made a mistake for a year, and thought he died. Still alive and in the Second Front. -

-------------------- Chapter 130 Pharmaceuticals and Oil Refining --------------------

-----

Huang Ke and Elena only stayed in Xi'an for one night and half a day, and flew directly to Yan'an in the afternoon of that day.

Because of the confidentiality of their identities, the two got off the plane and were picked up by a special person directly in a car, and then sent to a warehouse specially used to receive supplies.There, the two released more than 400 tons of materials.

This time, most of the materials obtained are luxury consumer goods, such as high-end candy, milk powder, clothing, electrical appliances, etc., which are basically "ordinary" "consumer goods".

The most valuable of them were several grinding machines, gear processing machines, and threading machines that Huang Ke ordered from the United States—the owner of the unlucky agency foreign firm was about to lose money because of the loss of goods.

After completing the unloading of the cargo, the place the two went next was the "chemical laboratory" of the newly built Yan'an Pharmaceutical Factory.

After the Soviet experts came to Yan'an, the deepest impression was that most of the facilities here were extremely backward. At the same time, the equipment in the "small but fine" machine tool machinery workshop was so good that the Soviets were surprised, and the other place was the chemical test of the pharmaceutical factory. room, but they gave an evaluation of "it is so advanced that no one here can use it".

In addition to common equipment such as separators, heaters, pyrometers, distillation flasks, beakers, and horse boiling furnaces, in this laboratory, all the chemical test equipment of this era that can be bought in the market in Britain and the United States, Huang Ke did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy as many as possible.Even if many of the equipment were unmanned, he spared no expense to buy them, such as high-pressure reactors for experiments and centrifuges for laboratories.

Here, the Soviets even saw a small experimental equipment for "distillation, carbonization and coking" that is rarely seen in the Soviet Union and can be used to separate vinegar liquid and tar combustible gas.No one in Yan'an knew how to operate this equipment, and it was thrown there after buying it.

The purchase order for the relevant equipment was completely issued by his mother Lin Mei, and the cost of all the equipment was close to 100 million US dollars.

"The equipment here is almost at the level of our special chemical laboratory in the Soviet Union! And some facilities can only be seen in a special factory, which is simply too good."

After learning about the availability of the equipment here, the Soviet expert quickly sent a report to the country, asking for a group of experts who can make good use of the true functions of these equipment.

According to the evaluation of these Soviet experts, relying on this batch of equipment, it is completely possible to use existing raw resources in small batches to make military materials such as thunder mercury and primer from scratch.Although the output will not be too high, the quality is absolutely outstanding. It is not a big problem to produce hundreds of kilograms of thormercury per month.

According to Lin Mei's idea of ​​developing these equipments: With these equipments, as long as one knows the process flow, many chemical products that are not available on the market or even invented in this era can be produced in small batches through the laboratory.

And these products are good things that can be sold at a high price in this era!And these early investments, in fact, this period has paid off!

Huang Ke synthesized sildenafil, and some of the materials required for the synthesis are currently not available in the international market. At this time, it is necessary to use these equipment to temporarily synthesize it with other common raw materials.

Of course, this process is quite cumbersome. After Huang Ke operated it once, he didn't want to do it himself again.After the first batch of sildenafil was produced with these equipments in Shanghai, in order to keep it secret (lazy), the equipments were repackaged and all were transferred to Yan'an, where the synthesis factory was placed. .

Rhubarb Ke from another time and space was caught by his mother to accompany her to learn various chemical synthesis knowledge, and he was pulled into the laboratory to conduct many chemical experiments. "Across time and space" helped little Huang Ke master these technologies.His original plan was to learn computer software and hardware first, but he was inadvertently taught by his mother to become a "breaking pharmacist". Within a week, he learned the synthesis techniques of dozens of drugs, even some dangerous ones. "Prohibited drugs", he also learned to synthesize.

These high-end chemical test equipment have received unprecedented attention in the Red Army.The location of the laboratory is built in the air-raid cave just excavated on the mountainside of Baota Mountain, a landmark building in Yan'an.

The first batch of "cement" obtained at the earliest was all used in the construction of the laboratory, which was also the first place in Yan'an to be powered on.

A row of buildings on the flat ground near the laboratory is now the factory building of Yan'an Pharmaceutical Factory.When Huang Ke came over, the surrounding air was filled with the faint fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.As soon as he smelled it, he could smell it: these medicinal fragrances were just the "disguised medicine" he used to "confuse the real formula of Jiangfeng Pills". There were more than a dozen female workers working on the site.

Wearing masks to cover up their true colors, Huang Ke and Elena, led by the guards and avoiding outsiders to enter the core laboratory, had to pass through two guards outside. Leaders have to show another pass to enter.

In the drug laboratory and production workshop, more than a dozen staff members in white coats had been waiting for Huang Ke there.A few months ago, except for a few "progressive students" who came from the university, most of them were newcomers who had just started with chemistry knowledge.However, Soviet experts have come over, and under their guidance, these people will soon be able to follow.

Huang Ke brought the basic raw materials for making sildenafil, and in the next two days, he taught them the whole process of making sildenafil.During the teaching process, he also asked people to shoot it with a video camera so that they could "review and study" afterwards.

Two days later, this group of people could already synthesize a large amount of sildenafil by simply operating on their own "knowing what it is but not knowing why".The synthesized sildenafil was sent to a pharmaceutical factory outside, where it was mixed in the "camouflage medicine", and after 24 hours of continuous stirring, it was sent to the newly introduced tablet press to be pressed into tablets to make the final product, and then all The finished medicines were taken away by Huang Ke.

For these employees who operate equipment and produce medicines, the upper-level statement is: This is a medicine for dilating blood vessels and treating heart disease.In order to prevent someone from "curiosity stealing" and causing abnormalities, all employees in the factory are female workers.

The upper management didn't lie to them. Those curious female workers tried to take a pill, and they really felt that the blood vessels dilated afterwards.And in order to prevent people from being greedy, those fake medicines are deliberately made quite bitter, so they can only be swallowed quickly with water.

In Shanghai, many people who thought they were smart stared at Huang Kekai's so-called small pharmaceutical factory next to the orphanage, hoping to get the formula for Jiangfeng Pills.But how did he know that Huang Ke had already transferred the production line to Yan'an after making the first batch of medicine.The small pharmaceutical factory now covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters is actually only responsible for the final packaging of finished products.

Huang Ke and Elena stayed in Yan'an for four days. During the four days, he taught the group of people to synthesize two drugs: the first was sildenafil, and the second was albendazole— —The latter is a very good anthelmintic drug, and it is also a drug that can be produced in small batches through the existing chemical test equipment at this period.

During this period in China, almost everyone suffered from roundworm parasitic diseases due to water sanitation problems and the quality of papyrus paper.

Compared with the "easy production" of sildenafil, the production process of the chemical synthesis of albendazole has a longer preparation cycle.On the first day of trial production in this small laboratory, the output of related drugs was temporarily only more than 700 grams.But as long as there is sufficient supply of foreign raw materials, its annual output is enough to carry out roundworm eradication activities for the whole people in the base area, and there will be a lot of surplus-this is another very effective way to "make money".

The first batch of albendazole was synthesized, and after being diluted and dissolved according to the medicinal ratio, it was quickly taken out and given to the first batch of people for trial.

On that day, there were various "exclamations" in the hut in Yan'an, and the content was roughly: Wow, there are so many bugs in the Baba I pulled out...

When Huang Ke and Elena left Yan'an seven days later, most of them, including the chairman and even experts from the Soviet Union, had taken medicine to kill insects.Don't look at it as a trivial matter. In the malnourished era of the Republic of China, getting rid of the roundworms in everyone's stomachs that competed with the human body for nutrition was a disguised form of saving a lot of food consumption.

When Elena and Huang Ke left Yan'an, the cross space was filled with 100 million finished "Jiangfeng Pills".These pills were brought back to Shanghai by him.

The warehouse of that small pharmaceutical factory is already full of packaging boxes and medicine bottles shipped from other places.

The final manual dispensing of the medicines is carried out by the children in the orphanage. More than 100 million pills, hundreds of children act at the same time, and the packaging is completed in a day or two.Afterwards, the buyers who had been waiting outside for the medicine, who were desperately waiting for their eyes, came to transport the medicine away at the first time, and sold it to all parts of the world.

On the day Huang Ke left Yan'an, another batch of equipment customized from the United States traveled thousands of miles from Tianjin Port to the surrounding area of ​​Yan'an via the railway and then through Xi'an.

This batch of equipment is oil extraction and refining equipment from the United States.

In 1903, Yu Yanbiao, the "gentry director" of Dali County, Shaanxi, together with Liu Dexin and Zheng Mingde, the "Gongsheng" of Yanchang County, signed a private contract with the German Shichang Matheson Co., Ltd. to jointly exploit Yanchang oil with the German Hannegan.This matter was reprimanded by Fan Zengxiang, the chief envoy of Shaanxi.After the governor Shengyun played the details, he insisted on doing it himself. In October 1904, Cao Hongxun, the governor of Shaanxi, resumed the trial operation of "Yanchang Petroleum Official Factory", which was approved by the Qing government.Subsequently, 10 taels of silver were allocated as the start-up fee, and Hong Yin of Houbu County was designated as the "general office", and the "Yanchang Petroleum Official Factory" was established in 8.1.Hong Yin went to Hubei to order machines, asked Japanese technician Shojiro Abe to investigate oil seedlings in Yanchangyangou and other places in northern Shaanxi, and found many oil producing wells and oil seedlings manually dug, and took oil samples and sent them to Hankou for testing, proving that the oil quality was "excellent". In the East, it can rival the products of the United States."It signed a contract in Japan to purchase Japanese drilling and production machinery and equipment, and hired Japanese technicians and craftsmen to exploit the Yanchang Oil Mine.

1907年2月，日本技师佐藤弥市郎一行七人及第一批机器到达延长。佐藤在延长县城西门外勘定延1井—中国陆上第一口油井。6月5日（农历4月25日）开钻，至9月6日，钻达68.89米见油，日产油150~200公斤。接着又加深至81米处完钻，初期日吸油1~1.5吨。此延长石油官厂第一口油井成功。

After the oil was produced in Well Yan 1, 25 catties of kerosene could be obtained every day by refining it in a small copper kettle. After the trial, "the smoke is shimmering and white, not inferior to external oil". On September 9, the oil refinery was completed, and 20 boxes of kerosene were loaded that month and shipped to the provincial capital, which was the beginning of extending the export of oil products from the mine. Ten years later, the daily output of Well Yan 14 remained at 10 tons. By 1, the cumulative crude oil production was 1.25 tons.
