After watching the railway project, Qin Zheng, accompanied by Gao Jin, inspected the power plant and cement plant under construction in Jinzhou. These two are local projects and are not large in scale. However, once completed, it will be of great help to improve the modernization process of Jinzhou. Cement is the basic material of all modern engineering construction industries. Although electricity cannot be converted into production in a short period of time, it is a future development trend after all, and it still has considerable development potential in improving daily life. In addition, there is a machinery factory in Shenyang and an iron and steel plant in Anshan, all of which are large projects of the "Second Five Plan" and can cover Jinzhou. Therefore, Jinzhou is only one tap water plant to get the "Five Small Industry". It can be said that Gao Jin has indeed carefully considered the initial selection of the project.

Of course, when checking these two local projects, Qin Zheng was just going through the motions and expressed his support for Jinzhou City, so he did not spend much time.

And on the next day, Qin Zheng and Gao Jin went to Chaoyang County to inspect.

Chaoyang County is the window connecting Jinzhou and Mongolia. In the administrative division of the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to Inner Mongolia, but is now classified as Liaoning Province by East China ** and is under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou City.

Although Chaoyang County is a region where Han and Mongolians live together, it has been basically Chineseized and has almost no herders. The Mongolians who settled here do not live in yurts, but live in regular houses and farming. Although most of the Mongolians still retain certain grazing habits, raise some livestock at home, and grazing in addition to farming, at most dozens of sheep, a few cattle and horses, and some of them are only more than ten sheep, which is much smaller than the normal herders who make a living by grazing. Moreover, it takes only more than 10 days to go out to graz. The scope is basically in the areas around Chaoyang County.

However, there are only a few farmers and herdsmen who have their own land like this. Most of the land is still occupied by landlords of all sizes and big and small, and among the landlords, a considerable number of them are Mongolian nobles.

Although the initial purpose of the rebellion of Tao Ke and Tao Hu was to resist the Qing court's land reclamation policy, most of the Mongolian nobles did not stick to the grazing tradition and were stubborn. They actually did not resist the Qing court's land reclamation policy because if there was land, fixed land rent could be collected and grain harvested. This was a stable income. Most of the grasslands in the Mongolian grasslands were private property of the Mongolian nobles. Therefore, once the grasslands were reclaimed into fields, they could still make profits from it and also invest in purchasing land.

The real unlucky thing in the land reclamation policy is the herders, whether they are free herders or herders who depend on Mongolian nobles. Because the herders do not know how to cultivate, once the grasslands are reclaimed into fields, the Mongolian nobles will certainly not hire them to farm, and there is no grassland for grazing. Therefore, the herders completely lose all the conditions for survival, and there is only the path of rebellion.

However, the land in Chaoyang County has been fully given to farmers or herdsmen, and Jinzhou City has dispatched technicians to teach herders to farm.

Of course, this place where two different regions are intersecting is destined to be commercially developed, and Chaoyang County is of course no exception. The cattle, sheep, fur, medicinal materials, bone products produced in the Mongolian grassland, and the grain, herbs, salt, cloth, living vessels and other items imported from the grassland can be seen here. Merchants of all ethnic groups gather here to conduct various transactions. Before the East China ** occupied Chaoyang County, the trade here was very prosperous.

After the Battle of Jinzhou, East China ** fully controlled Chaoyang County. In addition to redistribution of land, its main task was to continue to develop the Han-Mongolian trade in Chaoyang County, and to build a large market specifically for trade, and to repair several major commercial streets in the city, formulate transaction orders and rules, regulate transaction behavior, and strengthen the management of market security, so that merchants from all over the country can conduct transactions more conveniently and safely.

Just the day after Qin Zheng arrived in Chaoyang County, Ouyang Longxing also rushed from Chifeng to Chaoyang County to meet Qin Zheng. Now Ouyang Longxing is no longer an ordinary staff officer. Due to his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jinzhou, he was appointed as the 10th Field Army of the Northeast Military Region and the commander of the 19th Division during the Army's restructuring. He was promoted to brigade general and finally he was able to stand alone.

After the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, three sub-military regions were established, namely the Harbin Military Region, with the 2nd Field Army; the Changchun Military Region; the 8th Field Army; the Chenyang Military Region, with the 7th and 10th Field Army. Ouyang Longxing's 19th Division was responsible for garrisoning Jinzhou, and the division headquarters was located in Jinzhou, but the following three regiments were stationed in Chifeng, Jinzhou and Suizhong respectively. Among them, Zhang Zuolin's troops also received the official number, the 191st Regiment of the 19th Division, with the responsibility of garrisoning Chifeng.

However, after becoming the commander of the division, Ouyang Longxing did not live in Jinzhou, but stayed in Chifeng all the time, because in the current Jinzhou area, Jinzhou was basically the rear and there was no threat; while Suizhong was to defend the Qing court, so the Qing court naturally did not dare to provoke the East China **, and there was no threat. Only in Chifeng area, since it was occupied for a short time and its foundation was not stable, it was transformed on the one hand and suppressed the counterattack of the Mongolian nobles.

When the People's Army had just entered Chifeng, most of the local Mongolian nobles did not care much, because in their opinion, as long as they obeyed the rule of the East China **, there would be no major issues. At most, the East China ** would attack one or two Mongolian nobles, but most people would still run horses and dance. If the East China ** wanted to effectively rule the Mongolian grassland, they would ultimately rely on these Mongolian nobles. The Qing court ruled in Mongolia for many years. Although they relied on differentiation and disintegration, cracked up one batch after another, and transformed the grassland tribes into a banner alliance system, and continued political marriages, in the final analysis, they had to rely on these Mongolian nobles to rule the Mongolian region. What could the East China **?

But what these Mongolian nobles did not expect was that the East China nobles did not continue to perform according to the script they expected, but liberated the herdsmen, defeated the nobles, and distributed the aristocrats' pastures and cattle and sheep to the herdsmen. In this way, the herdsmen not only obtained property that could sustain their lives, but also gained personal freedom and social status. The aristocrats acted as a mighty on the grassland and ruled everything completely over. Of course, a considerable number of Mongolian nobles were unwilling to give up their wealth and status, so they also rose up to resist. However, in the face of the powerful armed forces of the People's Army, the resistance of the Mongolian nobles was basically useless, not to mention that their resistance did not receive the support of the herdsmen. At this time, the ethnic conflicts between the Ramon and Han were useless. Therefore, they were eventually extinguished by the East China nobles and did not make much waves.

This sudden change not only shocked the Mongolian nobles, but also quickly caused a huge panic on the Mongolian grassland. Although the East China politics now only affects a small area of ​​the Mongolian grassland, the impact on the Mongolian grassland is extremely huge and acceptable, because the East China ** brought about not ordinary dynasty changes, but a complete earth-shaking change.

The herdsmen in the East China ruling area were able to turn over, which directly affected the herdsmen in the surrounding areas. Some herdsmen fled from the dependent nobles and defected to the East China ruling area. Some herdsmen even directly resisted the Mongolian nobles. At this time, two Mongolian nobles had been killed by the People's Army.

Although the People's Army only defended the border and did not attack, the Mongolian grasslands were in a panic for a time, and almost all the Mongolian nobles were in danger. So they also organized their own troops, on the one hand, strictly restrained the herdsmen under their own rule, and on the other hand, they were also guarding against the attack of the East China National University. At the same time, there were people moving around, and the group had to connect and planned to form an alliance, even if they were to find Russian support to fight against the East China National University.

Ouyang Longxing stayed in Chifeng, on the one hand, was to command the resistance of the Mongolian nobles in the ruling area, and on the other hand, he also organized and trained liberated herders, established militias, and assisted the army. After all, the area controlled by the East China ** is now 450,000 square kilometers, and it is impossible to take care of only one regiment of the People's Army guarding.

At the same time, Jinzhou City ** also sent administrative personnel to Chifeng to establish grassroots administrative organizations among herders and manage administrative affairs. However, the current rule of Chifeng area is still dominated by the army and implements military control. Administrators only assist in the management of the army. Although it is a special period and only special treatment methods can be adopted. It is obviously inappropriate to leave all these tasks to Zhang Zuolin, so at this time, Ouyang Longxing really finds it difficult to escape from Chifeng.

After meeting Qin Zheng, Ouyang Longxing gave him a detailed report on Chifeng's situation. Although these situations have been mentioned in daily reports, Ouyang Longxing's report was more detailed and also mentioned many details, which were not found in the report.

After listening to Ouyang Longxing's report, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "So what is the overall situation in the Chifeng area now? Can we control the area we occupy now?"

Ouyang Longxing said: "Political Commissar, you can rest assured that we can definitely control it. First of all, our force has an absolute advantage, and secondly, the herdsmen are basically on our side. After all, we gave them cattle, sheep, property, and allowed them to gain freedom, gain social status, and no longer be bullied by the nobles. Now they want to maintain their current life and status, and can only support us with all their strength. Without the support of the majority of herdsmen, they can't make a big wave at all. In fact, the aristocrats who rose up to resist this time were only dozens of people, and there was not even one who could pull up more than a hundred people. Basically, they rely on their relatives, friends and confidant servants, and at most they can only coerce a few herdsmen. And after we establish the grassroots organization, it will be even more reliable."
