Since the beginning of April, 70,000 refugees have been relocated to Liaodong for more than a month, of which 40,000 have been resettled in Liaoyang.b1 3kanwang/bb/ No pop-ups/b. If Liaodong is a cornucopia of rich mineral resources , Liaoyang Anshan is the center of this cornucopia. It not only has a large number of iron mines, but also coal mines. It has the advantage of combining mining and energy, which is more conducive to the construction of a steel base.

It has to be said that the steel industry is the cornerstone of industrialization. Steel is needed for gun casting, steel is needed for machinery manufacturing, steel is needed for railway bridge projects, and even various large-scale construction projects also need steel. The steel industry can even be said to support a The backbone of the country. The most important reason why China was bullied by the great powers in later generations was its backwardness, and the most direct manifestation of its backwardness was that its steel industry was too backward and could not produce qualified guns and ships, so it could not compete with the great powers.

Wan Lei likes steel and is fascinated by it. The cold and hard touch is so touching. In order to obtain tons of steel, no matter how much money is invested, he will not hesitate.

"Sir, this is the design drawing of Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant. Can you see if there are any modifications?" The person who was sent to supervise the construction project of Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant was Zhao Hongming. He is Zhao Hongru's cousin. He used to be a blacksmith and later became a blacksmith. He joined the Peiping Iron Works and was shrewd and capable, and was gradually promoted to the position of deputy general manager. This time he was transferred to Liaodong to take charge of the project. Once the Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant is completed and put into operation, he can take up the post of general manager.

The reason why Wan Lei used him was for Zhao Quanjie's sake. After all, Zhao Hongming and Zhao Quanjie were uncle-nephew. Of course, the family did not speak the same language, so it was convenient for them to get things done.

"There is nothing wrong with this design. We just need to add a water channel here to provide water for cooling. We need to add a water drainage here to drive the blower with water power to save manpower." Wan Lei pointed out a few points. In fact, this design drawing was based on the Peking Iron and Steel Plant, but it was just enlarged in scale.

Since there are no rivers in the city of Beiping, there are no water resources available. Liaoyang is located by the Taizi River. With a little modification, water power can be utilized. Coupled with the convenience of river transportation, overall, the smelting cost will be relatively low.

"Oh, I'll have someone change it right away." Zhao Hongming put away the drawings and immediately went to work with a group of helpers.

"Brother, there are barren mountains everywhere in Liaodong, and there are many wild animals. It's rare that we have free time today, let's go hunting." Zhao Xueer said expectantly.

Not to mention, Liaodong is really a treasure land. Precisely because it is in the early stages of development, it is rich in forest resources and has various wild beasts everywhere. Soldiers and civilians like to go out of the city to hunt, capture various game animals to improve their food, and sometimes they can hunt tigers. The soldiers of the Peking Army even gave Wan Lei a tiger skin as a gift.

"You, you only know how to eat and play. Let's go to the Qing River Valley for inspection. If we encounter any game on the way, we will bring some back." Wan Lei smiled slightly and asked the Jingzhong Guards to go down and prepare their horses.

"What do you mean I only know how to eat and play? I want to hunt more game and bring it back for Sister Wei'er to try to replenish her health." Zhao Xueer looked aggrieved.

"Let's go, Greedy Cat, let's set off." Wan Lei jumped on the horse, casually attached the bow and arrow on the horse, hit the horse and left, as if he was a capable rider. Dozens of elite loyal guards did not say anything, and directly Keep up.

Wan Lei and his group of cavalrymen were walking on desolate trails, and from time to time they would encounter some prey such as wild deer and deer. They drove their horses to hunt them down, and they almost caught them with ease. They were soon fully loaded. By sunset, everyone arrived. In the Qing River Valley.

The Qinghe River Valley is more than 30 miles away from Liaoyang and is located in the upper reaches of the Taizi River. As a site for building a reservoir, the area is extremely desolate. Both sides of the valley are barren mountains and wild ridges. There are no human habitations at all. Building a reservoir here will save money on relocation. .

Wan Lei and his party lived in a temporary wooden barracks, eating game while reporting on the progress of the river valley construction site.

Since it is still the rainy season, the river water has surged which is not conducive to the construction of water conservancy projects. There are only a few hundred people in the Qinghe River Valley carrying out preliminary construction, mainly building barracks, building living facilities, and digging roads. They will wait until the autumn dry season to start rushing for the construction period. A large number of workers were sent to transport earth and rocks to fill the dam.

"Woo..." At night, a wolf roar came with the cold wind. This wild call can be heard everywhere in Liaodong. People who have just arrived in Liaodong will definitely be frightened. However, Wan Lei has seen countless dead people and has already been very courageous. Wild, let alone wolves, he will not be afraid even if he encounters a tiger or a leopard.

"Brother, it's so cold here. It's so cold in the summer, but it's still freezing to death in the winter?" Zhao Xue'er shrank and leaned next to Wan Lei, her face illuminated by the red bonfire.

"Well, it's really cold here. We need to prepare sweaters, quilts, leather shoes and other warm things for the soldiers and civilians." Wan Lei flipped the barbecue on the fire with one hand and hugged Zhao Xueer tightly with the other. Anyway, they were the only ones in this barracks. Two people are not afraid of others seeing them.

"It's true that we have to move so many soldiers and civilians here even though we know that people will freeze to death here." Zhao Xueer pouted. After running around in the field for many days, she began to miss the comfortable life in Beiping City.

"What do you know? A nation with a future must be proactive and brave in pioneering. We can't give up this treasure land of Liaodong just because of the cold weather." Wan Lei scraped Zhao Xueer's nose, handed her a skewer of barbecue, and smiled. Said: "Eat, you big lazy insect."

"You are the big lazy idiot. Everyone is busy competing in the Central Plains to fight for the world, but you have to come to Liaodong to drink from the northwest wind. I really don't see you." Zhao Xueer continued to grill the meat and ate it with big mouthfuls, as if to eliminate the dissatisfaction in her heart. .

"Come on, you've already eaten so much and you still talk so much." Wan Lei smiled slightly and looked up out of the window. The rising moon shone on the earth, and the silver scales on the Taizi River not far away were rippling, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.

And at this moment, he suddenly saw a large group of birds flying up in the forest and making screams for a long time. He frowned and shouted outside: "Here comes someone." Zhao Xueer was also shocked and hurriedly broke out of Wan Lei's arms and sat upright by the fire.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Captain Jingzhong Guard quickly walked in.

"Send someone out to check the night, it may be unsafe around here." Wan Lei whispered.

"It's not peaceful? Captain Li said that the area around here has been inspected by officers and soldiers, and there are no traces within dozens of miles." said the captain of the Jingzhong Guard Brigade.

"Be careful, go ahead." Wan Lei waved his hand, indicating to the captain to do as he was told. Because he has been walking on the edge of death for many years, his nerves are sharper than anyone else. This barren mountain and ridge can startle this vast night. It's definitely unusual for a bird.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xueer asked in surprise.

"It is very likely that a powerful enemy is coming!"

"Ah~!" Zhao Xueer exclaimed, "Where is it?"

"Nine out of ten of the birds in the sky were startled by a large group of people passing by. It's late at night, and those who come here must be evil!"

Zhao Xueer smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of, coward? The soldiers will come to stop you..."

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the captain stepped in and whispered: "Sir! Something is wrong, there seems to be an enemy!"

Zhao Xueer asked in surprise: "What did you find?"

"My subordinates went down and asked Company Commander Li. He said that neither the sentry sent to change the sentry nor the previous sentry came back!"

"Ah~!" Zhao Xueer exclaimed.

Wan Lei said: "There must be a strong enemy coming! It should come from the deep mountains and forests in the north. Go and call all the soldiers and prepare to fight!"

As Wan Lei said this, he put on his armor and saber, walked out of the barracks quickly, and pulled his horse. Zhao Xueer also put on her military uniform as quickly as possible and mounted her horse to protect Wan Lei. At this time, the entire camp was surrounded by two people. More than a hundred officers and soldiers had already left the military camp and quickly gathered on the playground.

"Sir, the number of incoming enemies is unknown. Should we retreat?" The person in charge of this camp area is a company commander. At this time, of course, he has to protect Wan Lei's personal safety as his top priority, so he recommends evacuating immediately.

"Retreat? Where to retreat in the middle of the night?" Wan Lei shook his head and said sternly to the officers and soldiers gathered on the playground: "Everyone obeys the order, and the entire army will be stationed on the spot to annihilate all invading enemies!"

"Sir, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and the number of the incoming enemies is unknown. We are stationed on the spot, I'm afraid it's just to guard..." Captain Jingzhong Guard also frowned and advised.

"If the enemy is in the dark, we can also stay in the dark. Before the enemy gets close, we will immediately arrange the arrangements. Come here, gather the migrant workers first and bring them to the sentry tower to make them quiet. Others The man immediately puts out the torch, pretends to be asleep, and attracts thieves to attack. Then he attacks them secretly, which will definitely produce unexpected results." Wan Lei immediately made a plan.

Now that Wan Lei had made up his mind, the officers and soldiers said no more and immediately split up. Hundreds of migrant workers were taken to a stone sentry tower. Although it was a bit crowded, it was far safer than outside, so these migrant workers also obeyed. They stayed in the tower and did not dare to make a sound. The nearly fifty officers and soldiers who were originally responsible for the defense of this place immediately divided into four teams. Under the leadership of the Jingzhong Guards, they left the camp and ambush on the big trees outside the camp.

After setting everything up, less than half an hour later, some figures appeared in the dense forest outside the camp, and a few murmuring voices were faintly heard. It could be seen from their clothes and voices that these people were not Han people, but entrenched people. Barbarian tribes in the deep mountains and old forests.

These people sneakily observed outside the camp for a while. When they saw the dark lights in the camp, they kept waving to the back. Soon, hundreds of people appeared in the forest. They looked at the moonlight like wild wolves. On the outskirts of the camp, they shouted "Hula" and rushed into the camp.

"Fire arrows!" Wan Lei waved his hand from atop a big pine tree, and dozens of hidden arrows flew out from the pine forest, aiming directly at the barbarians. An ambush and counter-ambush battle began.
