Chapter 1115 Economic blockade

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This sentence is easy to say, but difficult to do.

    The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is quite powerful. After killing a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army last time, the strength of the Yumen defenders has also been expanded. They are equipped with a large number of horses. On the one hand, the number of cavalry has increased.  The transportation of materials is faster and more convenient, and the strength of Zhao Hailong's troops is almost comparable to that of Li Yunlong.

    It's just that it is easy for such troops to rush through the Kuomintang's encirclement, but it is difficult to rush over with oil.

    That is to say, people and horses can rush over, but the materials may be seized by Lao Jiang's troops. This is what everyone is most worried about at present, so they did not take the risk of making such an attempt.

    Now, Qin Baoshan actually said that he wanted to reopen this road, so what should he do?

    "Director Qin, I'm afraid this will be very difficult." At this time, even Old Liu on the side expressed doubts.

    Lao Jiang went all out this time and mobilized 500,000 troops. These troops are tightly arranged, starting from Ningxia in the west, along Jingshui in the south, and ending in the Yellow River in the east. The entire encirclement stretches for more than a thousand miles.  , They set up five blockades inside and outside, and built nearly ten thousand blockhouses for this purpose. Lao Jiang either didn't do anything, or if he did, he would kill him.  Lock it up tightly.

    Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army was almost blocked.

    "Yes, if we want to open a way out of Lao Jiang's encirclement, it will not be easy. After all, Lao Jiang is a professional in this field." Qin Baoshan said.

    The term "professional household" is a bit strange, it is only a later generation's saying, such as professional pig raising households, professional farming households, etc. However, the meaning of Qin Baoshan's words is still very clear. Lao Jiang didn't know it before.  How many blockades and sieges have been carried out? During the period of the Red Army, they were always being chased and intercepted by Chiang Kai-shek. Didn¡¯t the Red Army still develop to this day?

    "They have completely surrounded us, Old Liu, you have to give a message to your superiors. The situation ahead will be quite complicated. This is not only a military issue, but also a major economic issue." Qin Baoshan also said  There is no question of how to open the channel, and this idea has already begun to drift.

    "Economic?" Old Liu's face suddenly changed.

    The territory occupied by Lao Jiang was originally the most prosperous place in the country, with fertile land and a large population, while the Eighth Route Army could only develop in remote places. Take the current Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region as an example, which is located in Shaanxi Province on the Loess Plateau.  At the junction of the three provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, and Gansu, the natural conditions are quite harsh, the land is extremely barren, and at the same time, soil erosion is serious, and various natural disasters such as floods, droughts, winds, frosts, and insects often occur.  Although the land here is vast, the population is sparsely populated and the output of the land is very small. Specifically, the average yield per mu is only about 2 to 3 buckets and 5 liters.  Therefore, the economic base here is very weak.

    After the Eighth Route Army occupied this place, it started the KMT-Communist cooperation and made a concerted effort to foreign affairs. At that time, the Border Region Government implemented the policy of "seeking foreign aid and recuperating people's strength". Therefore, no tax or light tax was implemented for the people under the rule of the Border Region Government.  , The grain requisition in the entire border region is limited to more than 10,000 shi per year. Under this policy, the main source of income for the border region government is external assistance. For example, last year, the amount of foreign aid reached nearly 5 million yuan.

    At the same time, since the establishment of the Border Region Government, it has attracted a large number of intellectuals to join them. On all the roads to Yan'an, there are young intellectuals who have gone to Yan'an without hesitation, walking hundreds or even thousands of miles.  And these people are not working.

    Therefore, the non-production personnel in Yan'an have gradually expanded, and now there are 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is 50,000 to 60,000 mouths. In the past, the rations of these people had to be purchased from outsiders.

    It is precisely because of this problem that the leaders have started a vigorous production movement in Yan'an in the past one or two years. The respected leaders have taken the lead and started to engage in production. Under the leadership of the intellectuals, they have also started  Study while engaging in production, combining production, study and combat.  At the same time, the left-behind corps, which did not fight on the front line, also started various production tasks, such as growing vegetables, raising pigs, collecting firewood, making shoes, etc. Just last fall, all officers and soldiers of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division,  They all drove to Nanniwan, and began to farm and open up wasteland.

    However, these are still not enough. It can be said that there will still be economic problems in the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

    A large amount of materials from the Kuomintang-controlled area, including cloth, cotton, medicine, telecommunications equipment, food, etc., cannot pass through the blockade and enter the border area. In this way, the border area may encounter extremely serious problems.

    ? If the manager of the Border Region GovernmentIf the economy collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    It is precisely because of this that Qin Baoshan's thoughts wandered. When it came to this issue, how to solve the economic problems of the border region government?

    "Director Qin, what do you think?" Lao Liu asked. At this time, Lao Liu admired Qin Baoshan quite a lot. After all, Qin Baoshan was just passing by here for a short stay. Qin Baoshan was a military worker.  The staff actually have profound views on the economic issues of the border region government, how could they not impress Old Liu.

    Since Qin Baoshan said so, it is time to ask him what he can do to deal with it.

    "The national army's siege of us is to completely cut off our relationship with the outside world and make us collapse. However, this is also a good opportunity. For example, our border region government can completely prohibit the circulation of legal currency and completely use our border region votes.  "Qin Baoshan said.

    After the establishment of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, border tickets began to be issued. However, since it was a period of cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, the legal currency was also a fixed currency in circulation. Now that the national army wants to besiege here and prohibit circulation with the outside world, the legal currency is meaningless.  Let's unify the currency first. For a government, unifying the currency is of great significance.

    "Well, you are right." Lao Liu nodded.

    "Also, we need to produce and save ourselves, but at present, it is not easy to completely produce and save ourselves, so we must still have trade with the outside world." Qin Baoshan said: "For example, in our border area  , there is a large amount of table salt, which can be shipped out and sold for money, in addition to table salt, there are also local products, all of which can be exchanged for money.¡±

    If you want to develop, you can¡¯t do without commerce. Although the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region lacks food, there is salt. Salt has been able to create a lot of profits since ancient times. In addition to salt, there are also local products that need to be transported.  Go out and sell money for food.

    "In this case, don't we still have to break through the blockade." Lao Liu said, these methods seem to go back again.

    "Yes, we must break through the blockade." Qin Baoshan said, "If we can't get through the main roads, we will be very passive. However, I am optimistic about one direction. We can go to Suiyuan." (Remember  Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
