    For a moment, Yang Zengxin felt a strong sense of inferiority. He could no longer convince himself of his resistance by saying that the People's Army was entering Xinjiang to enslave the people of Xinjiang Province!  With such a strong power, it would be foolish to take a fancy to his little family background.  In the face of absolute disadvantage, he couldn't even think of playing tricks.

    "How are you going to benefit the people of Xinjiang Province, Marshal?" Yang Zengxin said, and for the first time, he no longer cared about his position as military governor.

    Although he advocates rule by inaction, he will not hesitate to make some changes if there is hope for a strong Xinjiang.  Faced with the huge gap between personal ideals and actual survival, as a strong patriot, he made a wise choice.  He also understands the behavior of the Northwest People's Government in Shaanxi and Gansu, and hopes to help improve people's livelihood in Xinjiang.

    "Three roads: education, industry, and trade. This is an economic development strategy based on Xinjiang's special geographical location." Zhang Hanqing gave an idea: "We will then explore a path for the integration of various ethnic groups, and then carry out some immigration and settlements."  This is the best way to ensure long-term peace and stability in Xinjiang."

    "Xinjiang is rich in mineral deposits and is suitable for the development of the energy industry, which requires a large number of talents. Large-scale introduction of talents from the mainland is not in line with the current situation. Training ourselves is the right answer. We have built two large-scale professional institutions in Xi'an and Lanzhou  Universities also have this need and possibility in Xinjiang.

    The Soviet-Russian civil war has seen the dawn of victory, and I cannot predict that it will be completely over within a year. At that time, the Soviet Union will shift to economic construction, and Xinjiang will take advantage of this opportunity to carry out trade and exchange supplies with the Soviet Union.

    The important opportunity to get rid of poverty in Xinjiang now is to transport inland, mainly to Gansu, which has been unable to be carried out due to geographical reasons. We are already planning a railway from Baoji to Xi'an, which will connect to Lanzhou in the west and extend to the eastern sea in the future.  It's called the Longhai Railway.

    Make arrangements now in advance so that once the situation changes, Xinjiang will have direct access to the eastern sea.  At that time, the connection between the mainland and Xinjiang will be closer, and Xinjiang's status will be more consolidated. Isn't this a good thing that benefits the country and the people?  "

    The prospects are very tempting and the road is very tortuous, but with such a wealthy financial backer as Feng Xi and controlling the territory of Shaanxi and Gansu, the possibility of building a railway at any cost is still very high.  From this aspect, this young marshal is really not a playboy. He has ideas and ruthlessness in doing things.

    Who among the warlords who have some money these days is not working hard to expand their army?  There are not many people who care about people's livelihood like him.

    It was because of this that Yang Zengxin tolerated Zhang Hanqing's usurpation of power. Since he had no intention and could not interfere in any way with Zhang Hanqing's entry into Xinjiang, he was still the one who tried his best to maintain the stability of Xinjiang during Zhang Hanqing's era.  one of the responsibilities.

    He has already mentally submitted to Zhang Hanqing's ambition and unscrupulous style of acting, but will his style be inappropriate when dealing with national affairs?  Military discipline and ethnic issues cannot be handled in the same tone!

    "But what does the young marshal think of the ethnic issues in Xinjiang? What are his thoughts on ethnic integration?" He asked this question quietly, knowing the pros and cons.  If Zhang Hanqing dares to answer him with blunt means, he will fight back mercilessly and fight to the death to prevent him from intervening in Xinjiang affairs, although his current performance in other places is remarkable.

    "Ethnic issues are very complicated, and of course we already have some experience in dealing with them. Like the previous Mongolian issue, it was a treasonous act by their leaders who colluded with foreign invaders. We launched the enslaved poor Mongolian people to carry out revolution.  We have used thunder to deprive them of all rights, including their lives.

    Now, Mongolia¡¯s military garrison, railways, canonization, and mining rights have been returned to the central government, and the Mongolian government¡¯s inherent courtesy to the central government has been restored.  Regardless of diplomacy, regardless of friendship, regardless of land, the central government should bear full responsibility.

    We are in Ningxia, allowing Han and Hui families to live together on the basis of respecting customs and abiding by laws and regulations.  Both provinces have trained a large number of ethnic cadres, and both have effectively implemented administrative responsibilities.

    In Xinjiang, ethnic issues are not yet prominent, and are currently manifested as an unreasonable mismatch between poverty and abundant resources.  One question is how to increase the proportion of ethnic minorities participating in political affairs.  I have always advocated that no matter what ethnic group you are, as long as you identify with the country and the central government, you have equal rights and obligations.

    Another problem is the settlement.  We plan to organize large-scale immigration from the mainland under the arrangement of the Xinjiang Provincial Government.  Considering the actual situation, these immigrants did not move people here in the past, but were organized like an army to clear up wasteland, farm, develop cities, factories and mines in a planned way.??.

    We plan to build several large and medium-sized immigrant cities to solve the problem of sparse population here. They will be led by a unified unit, which I will call the "Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps" for the time being!  "

    Xinjiang¡¯s land reclamation and border garrisoning has a long history. It started from the field garrison in the Western Han Dynasty and lasted for more than 2,000 years during the Eastern Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and continues to this day.  After liberation in official history, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps became China's largest special social organization that also guarded the border and established land reclamation, and implemented the "integration of military, government and enterprise", and made great contributions to the stability of the northwest.

    However, the main task of the Corps proposed by Zhang Hanqing at this time was not to stabilize Xinjiang for future generations, but to slowly lay a wedge in Xinjiang under Yang Zengxin's rule so that it could not become a dominant force.  The top priority is to provide economic supplies to the People's Army. Of course, how to unite local ethnic groups and contribute to the country's border stability is another matter later.

    Frankly speaking, this policy will be beneficial to Xinjiang's future, but its process is too strict, leaving him no room for counterattack. He also wants to "hide his power and bide his time" and wait for the People's Army to withdraw and regroup.  Woolen cloth.

    Yang Zengxin had no intention of agreeing to Zhang Hanqing's request: in order to ensure the stability of Xinjiang, he set up military garrisons in Hami, Turpan, and Barkol bordering Gansu and Outer Mongolia to prevent Gansu and Qinghai naval lords, and the black lamas of Outer Mongolia from interfering with them.  The forces of the revolutionary party penetrated into Xinjiang.

    This approach is stable, but it also brings bad consequences.  The checkpoint set up in Xingxingxia not only prevents people from other provinces from entering, but also strictly inspects books, newspapers and letters sent from the mainland, which makes Xinjiang almost isolated from the mainland. It has evolved into a closed-door policy, which has kept the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang in a "  A state of ignorance.

    Now, Zhang Hanqing not only extends his hands to his administrative field, but also has the idea of ??long-term management of Xinjiang. This is not a good sign.

    The management system of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps mainly consists of Corps-Division-Regiment system. In the future, the Corps divisions will correspond to the regional administrative centers respectively.  In addition to the regiment field, the regiment-level units of the Corps also have farms, pastures, etc., which are generally referred to as "agricultural and animal husbandry regiment fields", and the administrative level is the county level.

    Of course, due to the small number of people, large-scale development is not yet possible, but this does not affect Zhang Hanqing's arrangement for an exploration team of hundreds of people to go to Xinjiang for preliminary research.  When we free up our hands later and have more manpower, we can directly settle down.

    "The area under the jurisdiction of the Construction Corps is under the direct jurisdiction of the Northwest People's Government as an independent administrative region, and its military functions are under the command of the Northwest People's Military Commission."

    As long as you are not stupid, everyone can hear that once the "Xinjiang Construction Corps" is established, it will create a new center of power outside the current administrative system.

    People under the eaves have to bow their heads.  Yang Zengxin had no choice but to accept this wedge approach.  Zhang Hanqing focused on the Central Plains, and there was still a place in Xinjiang that could rely on Yang Zengxin, so he did not want to do anything for himself. He chose Hami, Turpan and Korla near Gansu as the prototype for building the corps.

    He was a little helpless.  He was able to rule Xinjiang for many years because he was separated from domestic warlords. Like Zhang Guangjian in neighboring Gansu, he only nominally obeyed the central government to "protect the territory and the people."  I just didn't expect that the Feng clan could apply the country's justice so well.  A "Mongolian Xinjiang Economic and Strategic Envoy" made it famous for the People's Army to enter Mongolian Xinjiang; a Shaanxi-Gansu Patrol Envoy allowed Zhang Hanqing to directly delineate territory to all parties.

    However, he still did not regret surrendering without confidence: Jin Shuren asked him more than once to show the momentum of a Xinjiang governor and refuse the young commander's entry into Xinjiang by force, but he thought over and over again and said, "Xinjiang is firm, but people's hearts are unstable, and he is the superior army."  Moreover, the teacher is well-known and full of vigor, so it is not appropriate to start a war at this time." He refused.  Now it seems that this approach was done correctly.

    They came prepared!

    Administrative and economic plans have long been formed, and these measures to benefit the people will definitely arouse the support of the people.

    The idea of ??the Xinjiang Construction Corps is even more surprising because of Zhang Hanqing¡¯s vision, which is simply too advanced.

    In terms of understanding of ethnic issues, his proficiency is no less than that of local scholars and ethnic research experts. Some of his opinions are unheard of, but they are so reasonable and appropriate, which surprised him¡ª¡ªWho said that the young marshal is a playboy?

    And his spirit of "keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other in the future" makes him unable to have enough motivation to take risks: Zhang Hanqing does not want to monopolize Xinjiang. Instead, he believes that in the current situation of national division, as China in the northwest  As an important barrier, it is very appropriate for Xinjiang to maintain its current status and status.  He promised to convey to Zhang Zuolin his intention to continue serving as the governor of Xinjiang.

    As an important force in stabilizing Xinjiang, the status of the naturalized army remains unchanged, and its ownership is still controlled by Yang Quanquan. It just needs to be adapted.  Similarly, the Northwest People's Army does not seek to station troops in Xinjiang. All it requires is to own a Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and a piece of land that can be reclaimed as an important source of logistics for the Northwest People's Army.

    If he objects, Zhang Hanqing will take away his position as military governor without hesitation!

    Because Zhang Hanqing has described in detail the significance of farming and border protection from the perspective of national strategy and ethnic unity, and pointed out Yang¡¯s mistakes and shortcomings in maintaining the policy of maintaining a close relationship among the Han, Uyghur, Hui and other ethnic groups, and will  Whether or not he agrees to the establishment of the Construction Corps has risen to the level of whether he is a national sinner, which is really a big label.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The North People's Army does not seek to station troops in Xinjiang.
