First Secretary of Rebirth

In summer, the Yimu River mixed with melted snow from the top of the mountain flows down quickly. He Chaoyang stood on the bare cliff, looking at the emerald blue river under his feet.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Tang Xiaoli was wearing a camouflage outfit without any military rank marks, but his tall and straight figure had the strength of a soldier at first glance.

After hearing what he said, He Chaoyang turned his head and said with a smile, "The scenery here is really nice."

Tang Xiaoli was stunned when he heard the words, he thought that He Chaoyang was afraid that the road ahead would be difficult, but he didn't expect that He Chaoyang was still interested in enjoying the scenery at this time.

If the scenery is good, it is indeed good. The place they are currently in is not even accessible by dirt roads, and there are few people. This is a rare and simple scenery that has not been polluted by modern civilization.

"I asked Old Jiang, there is no bridge in this river, so we can only wade across it." Tang Xiaoli looked at the river under his feet, and then at He Chaoyang, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." He Chaoyang had never stopped exercising his body over the years, and knowing that he was going to Tiannan, he even picked up the fists and feet that he hadn't practiced for many years.

Ling Wei knew that he was coming to Tiannan, so he was dumbfounded at the time. He had thought of various solutions, but he never thought that Prime Minister Liang would be so ruthless this time, and he directly came to the bottom of the pot.

"I'll go with you!" Ling Wei held his hand with a firm expression.

"You left with me, what about Annan?" He Chaoyang hugged Ling Wei, sighed, and said, "The construction of the Anshan Expressway has just started, and the revival plan has just started. I don't feel relieved if it is handed over to someone else."

"I'm using you as a nanny!" Ling Wei pouted.

"Be patient," He Chaoyang comforted, "Tiannan is too dangerous, I don't trust you to go there."

"You don't worry about me, do I worry about you?" Ling Wei also heard about Aimati's assassination and death. He Chaoyang entered Tianshan alone, and it was simply an errand with his head pinned to his trouser belt. If he could rest assured There are ghosts.

"There's a little gift." He Chaoyang kissed him, with a smile in his eyes.

"I'll stay here for two years at most." Ling Wei knew that it was impossible for the two of them to be transferred at the same time, but he didn't want He Chaoyang to take the risk alone.

"Well, I'll go to the front station first, and I'll pick you up when I'm done packing."

Thinking of the tenderness with Ling Wei before leaving, He Chaoyang's eyes flashed with tenderness.

Seeing his suddenly soft face, Tang Xiaoli was slightly taken aback.

On the surface, he came to Tianshan together because of He Chaoyang's troubles, but General Tang told him in private that the situation in Tianshan Province is different now, and the transfer of He Chaoyang here must be because the higher-ups have made up their minds.At this time, being able to work with He Chaoyang, on the one hand, can form a good relationship with He Pai, and on the other hand, it will definitely not harm Tang Xiaoli's future.

At least, Tang Xiaoli's rank has been raised by half a rank here, and he has been promoted from a deputy to a full-time job.

The two ended their conversation, walked down the mountain with difficulty, and followed the large army to the rushing Yimu River.

Although it is summer, a lot of snow has been incorporated into the river water, and even at noon, the river water is still bitingly cold.

"Brother, are you okay?" Tang Xiaoli was a little worried.

At this moment, Old Jiang had someone pull the rope to the other side of the river. While helping Old Jiang pull the rope, He Chaoyang smiled and said, "What's wrong? I don't look like I'm physically fit."

Seeing He Chaoyang's tanned skin, Tang Xiaoli chuckled and fell silent.

"Brother He, Xiao Tang, the rope has been pulled, you follow Sabir and go first." Old Jiang and a Xinjiang boy pulled the rope, signaling He Chaoyang and Tang Xiaoli to follow a Xinjiang cadre in front.

"Old Jiang, you go first, and I'll be in the rear." Tang Xiaoli grinned, showing his white teeth.

"I have to walk this road several times a year, so you can go with confidence."

Tang Xiaoli had nothing to do, and went down the river with He Chaoyang.

Both of them brought replacement clothes and shoes, but after crossing the river, Lao Jiang and the others still had their trouser legs wet, and the water-filled shoes slipped on their feet again after twisting them twice.When He Chaoyang saw this, he didn't take off the rucksack on his shoulders, his trousers were wet and his calves were wrapped around his calves, and his shoes leaked water when he stepped on them, but even so, he didn't make a sound.

Tang Xiaoli has long been used to marching in the field, but the water below his calf is nothing to him. Seeing He Chaoyang walking in wet shoes, he chased after him and whispered, "Brother, change your shoes."

"It's okay." He Chaoyang pointed at Lao Jiang and the others, and said with a smile, "Look, they didn't bring anything. I don't have the face to be special."

"Haha," Old Jiang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Brother He, you are really interesting. We didn't bring anything because we wanted to help the children carry more luggage when we went out of the mountain. Since you have a replacement shoe, you should change it, otherwise it is not Are you guilty?"

He Zhaoyang waved his hand and said, "I'm here to experience life, Old Jiang, don't worry, I'm thick and thick, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Lao Jiang couldn't say anything more, but He Chaoyang's spirit of sharing weal and woe made the attitude of several local people who were traveling with him change a lot.

It has been more than a month since He Chaoyang has been the first deputy secretary of the Tiannan District Prefectural Committee. He now has a basic understanding of the general situation of the Tiannan District, and is currently taking advantage of the weekend to go down to find out.

Tiannan is a region in name, but its area is seven times larger than that of Annan.The sky is vast and sparsely populated, except for a few small plains, the rest are mountains.They are now at the edge of the Yisan Mountains, which is also the jurisdiction of Yangshilan Township where Lao Jiang is located.

Lao Jiang was Tang Xiaoli's comrade in arms when he was in Ningbei. He had been in the army for a long time, but because he was not admitted to the military academy, when he changed jobs, he was arranged to be the secretary of Yangshilan Township.He knew a little bit about the background of Xiao Li's general, but Old Jiang didn't care much about it. He and Xiao Li were just flirting with each other, and he had never had any honor with Xiao Li, otherwise he wouldn't have moved to this remote place.

When Tang Xiaoli brought He Chaoyang to the door this time, he didn't reveal He Chaoyang's identity. Now the situation in Tiannan is still unclear, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Originally, Tang Xiaoli followed He Chaoyang to inspect the area by car, but when he arrived at Masi County, he happened to think of Lao Jiang's work here, so he called Lao Jiang and came over with He Chaoyang.

When they came, Lao Jiang was organizing a team to go into the mountain to pick up the children from school. When He Chaoyang heard this, he also volunteered to go into the mountain with him.

"Going into the mountains is very hard, and if you don't do it, your life will be in danger!" Old Jiang warned seriously.This is indeed no joke, the road to the mountain may be more difficult than He Chaoyang thought.

"The children can go, what can't I do?" He Chaoyang pushed back calmly.

"But, you..." Lao Jiang still wanted to say something, but Tang Xiaoli said, "Don't worry, Lao Jiang, Brother He's skills are not bad." Seeing that Lao Jiang was still a little reluctant, Tang Xiaoli hurriedly patted his chest and said: "You just don't trust him, how can you not trust me?"

Although Tang Xiaoli has a background, the No. 3 ranking in the military competition is not something that others can help him win.Seeing that the two of them were so determined, Old Jiang could only bite the bullet and nod.

On this day, they trekked across mountains and rivers, taking the path dug on the cliff that can only accommodate one foot, climbing the cliff with no steps and only relying on ropes to climb up, turning over the top of the mountain, and wading through the swift and cold the river, and at the end of the whole day, they only covered half the distance.

At night, they finally arrived at their first destination, a small mountain village with only a dozen families.

There was no electricity in the small mountain village, and the group was arranged in the villager's home with the best conditions.The so-called good conditions are nothing more than having a spare room for them to stay. Dinner is roast lamb, roast potatoes and noodle soup.He Chaoyang was already content with eating and drinking enough and being able to rest his legs.

There were three school-age students in this village. Old Jiang and their parents had agreed on a date for the return journey, and they were going to continue their departure the next morning. They still had four villages to go, and they were expected to pick up about twenty students.

"Old Jiang, the road is so difficult, can the children bear it?" He Chaoyang asked while sitting by the stove while baking shoes.

"Is there any way, the village is too small and too scattered, and there are no teachers, so we can only gather together and go to the town to the county to go to school."

"There are only a dozen families in this village. Can't we just move out?" It's summer now, and the roads are so difficult. When winter is covered with snow and ice, the road conditions will be ten times more difficult than it is now.

Old Jiang took a puff of cigarette and said, "You are thinking too simply. There are dozens of villages like this in Yangshilan Township. One or two villages are easy to solve, but dozens of villages are not easy. Besides... He paused, looked at Sabir and the others who were sitting around and joking on the other side, lowered his voice, and continued: "There are some people with ulterior motives active in this deep mountain. Arrogant."

"Have ulterior motives?" He Chaoyang raised his eyebrows.

"That's right," Old Jiang exhaled slowly, and said, "Our Yangshilan Township is relatively close to the border, so some things are not easy to deal with."

Old Jiang said it very cryptically, but He Zhaoyang still guessed what was hidden behind it.

The Tiannan area covers a large area, and the borders of the jurisdiction are bordered by two countries. One is the Batan Kingdom, which is friendly to China, and the other side is the Western Khanate, which is not so friendly to China. The sky is vast and sparsely populated , and there are multiple mountain barriers, some people or organizations with ulterior motives want to make trouble here, and there are natural geographical conditions.

"The road into the mountain is so difficult, haven't you thought about building the road?" He Chaoyang changed the subject.

"Why didn't you think about it?" Old Jiang extinguished his cigarette butt, and said in a deep voice, "Although Yangshilan is a township, the area of ​​this township is larger than those in the inland counties. The villages are scattered and there are no natural roads. The village I came to now is not bad, the place ten miles away from this village is called Jinai Village, and I can only go out of the mountain for three months every year, and I can’t go in or out during the rest of the time.”

"why?"

"It snows heavily in winter, and the river soars in summer, so the animals can't get out, let alone people."

He Zhaoyang was dumbfounded when he heard that, he couldn't believe that such a village existed in Huaxia.

"I went there once in April. There were two school-age children in that village, but because the parents were worried, they refused to let the children go out to school."

"What about the child's studies?"

"What can we do, first let educated parents teach, and then come out when conditions permit." Lao Jiang said, sighing, "The most educated in the village can only speak a few simple Chinese , The two children I saw are both ten years old, and if they don't come out to go to school, they will be delayed."
