The next day, when the Baotou citizens came out, the scene of being heavily guarded in the past disappeared. Citizens could enter and exit Baotou at will, but they were still cleaning the battlefield and could not pass for the time being.

The caravan that had been in Baotou for a long time was notified that they could set off within one or two days and would not encounter any danger. These caravans could be said to be half-believing and half-doubted. You should know that the well-informed people in the caravan were very clear that there were tens of thousands of horse bandits gathered in this area. They wanted to attack Baotou, the ordinary horse bandits, three or five hundred, which was already considered a big troop, with tens of thousands of people. Even the caravan did not dare to act easily. Once they encountered it, they would swallow it.

Last night, gunfire sounded like fried beans for most of the night. Most of the merchants were worried that they would rob Baotou when they encountered horse bandits, but they had no choice but to send the guards out at most. Who knew, but they were told that their guards were not needed. This made them confused and they couldn't let them go. Last night, for most people, it was a sleepless night.

Early this morning, most caravans sent people out to inquire about the situation, but they heard that the bandits' problems were solved. The problem was solved overnight. Whether it was the new army in Baotou who defeated the horse bandits from northern Mongolia or the horse bandits who withdrew, no matter which one it was, it was a good thing for them. The caravans who came to Baotou had been in Baotou for a week, and the long ones had been staying for more than half a month, trapped all over the ground, and the anxiety in their hearts made them feel uneasy. Now it has finally passed.

But after the release, not many people were willing to leave first. What if there were bandits outside? There was always the first one to eat crabs. When the first caravan composed of more than 30 merchants left Baotou, they formed a large caravan with 300 cars, and the guards were as high as 400.

After they left Baotou swayingly, one after another caravan began to leave. When the merchants left along the official road, they saw the scene that would be unforgettable for their lives. After a night of collection, most of the corpses were collected aside. The big pit dug by the tractor would be buried deep. Baotou in summer would soon usher in the hot season. A large number of corpses would definitely spread the plague. It would be better to be buried in peace.

The complex barbed wire and smoke have not completely dissipated, and the traces of flesh and blood on the ground have proved how tragic it was last night. Regarding this battle, Baotou was not confidential. Soon, news flowed through. 25,000 horse bandits attacked Baotou and were completely defeated. Nearly 300 horse bandit leaders, including the one-eyed dragon, the red beard, and the poisonous lady, including the horse bandits under their command, were killed here. For a long time, the atmosphere in Baotou will be boosted.

After defeating the horse bandits, it can be said that they solved the hidden dangers for a long time. To a certain extent, when the 54 Mixed Association completely formed an army, they were not worried. This was an army with 4 reinforcement targets, with a total of 12,000 people. They could easily control the Baotou side. By the way, they could clear out the many horse bandits here.

The caravan slowly left Baotou. They had longing for a longing. I don’t know if the goods from all over the country were cut off. If they were cut off, it would definitely be a good business for them. The siege of horse bandits would also come step by step with their steps.

No one would have thought that Baotou, which has achieved such great results, suffered a very small loss. The tragic loss was targeted at the bandits. In the positional warfare, the losses were extremely small, but there were a few new recruits who sprained their ankles because they were careless and had no damage at all. From this, it can be seen that the benefits of using a large number of machine guns are almost equal to the best defense in defensive operations.

The merchants were excited and more and more horse bandits would bring greater anxiety. The caravans of such a large Qu family were robbed, let alone them. I think they would be much safer in the future. As for other citizens, they just used them as topics of conversation. After talking, they didn't say anything. Life still needs to continue. For ordinary people, just do their jobs and earn their daily wages well.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield is still in progress. After the new army in Taiyuan has completed the dressing, it will return. After the war, the expansion of the new army will be upgraded to the agenda, with 4 complete targets, 12,000 to 14,000 people. Although the organization will be based on the standards of the Beiyang Army, more of which are similar to later generations, with divisions as units.

The regiment is equivalent to the standard. The four regiments do not meet the principle of 33 and can only be used first. Yang Yuanzhao didn't know much about military affairs. He said something casually and handed over the matter to Feng Yuxiang. They are professionals. When recruiting some famous generals in later generations, they also mentioned the agenda. Yang Yuanzhao didn't remember much, but just told the most famous ones. Of course, how could the three masters of Lu Shi be missing?

Yang Yuanzhao's decision changed the historical trajectory of many people to a certain extent. When Feng Yuxiang got 440 officers from Beiyang, who were also targeted, arrived in Baotou, the military expansion operation officially began. The first ones included were militias, 2,500 militias who participated in the battle. They already had an advantage over ordinary recruits and had some professional training. At least in the training of recruits, they could save some time. Next, they recruited almost 7,000 recruits within the entire Baotou range. Of course, relying on Baotou, some difficulties were mostly recruited in Shanxi and Henan. With enough money and sufficient settlement fees, they took more than 10 days to complete the recruitment and came to Baotou to start training one after another.

They will conduct three-month training for recruits starting from June, basically mastering initial combat skills, at least being able to shoot, form attack camps, and be able to work locally. Only by doing this can they be able to rank a qualified new army soldier. As for the ability of the new army to fully exert the combat effectiveness of the new army, it will take longer to train.

The impact of bandits siege in the city gradually faded, and it took more than a week to harvest wheat in advance, which caused a lot of losses and a little lower quality. The subsequent cotton planting could not be lost like this. Otherwise, the task of industrial and agricultural output value would be delayed by another year before it could be completed.

This time, the bandits attacked the city. The battlefield was around Baotou, and it did not affect the agricultural plantations and seedling bases outside. After the battlefield was cleaned, the planting work began to be rolled out. This year's cotton seedlings, accompanied by Yang Yue and others' in-depth research, were even better than last year's. The 600,000 mu of cultivated were slightly worse, but they were still robbed, and the price was higher than last year's. After all, those who have eaten crabs will definitely eat more, and when they see others planted, they began to consider it. Conservatively estimate that the area of ​​cotton planting around Baotou this year will reach about 20 million mu. Even if the average harvest is 20 kilograms of lint, it will be 400,000 kilograms. This number is enough to support the expansion of Baotou cotton textile factory several times.

Cotton has been planted, and a large number of people have taken care of. The 8 million mu of land operated by Baoken Company is growing well. The use of a large amount of fertilizers is all obtained through the synthetic ammonia project. At present, the output of large-scale fertilizer plants is only 130 tons per day. Compared with the large-scale fertilizer plants in later generations, this figure is simply one in the sky and one on the ground, with an annual output of only tens of thousands of tons. However, in this era, this is enough to support the large-scale use of Baotou fertilizers.

Yang Yuanzhao finally stopped the largest project among all-in-one machines, and the largest amount of fertilizer synthesis every day turned into a more important alloy synthesis. With a considerable output of fertilizer plants, they can even be sold in small batches.

It is no longer a secret for people around you to use fertilizers in Baotou. Some landlords around you know that fertilizers can fertilize the land, but after asking, Baotou does not sell fertilizers, but in Shanghai and Tianjin. When asked, the price is too high. If you want to use 100 kilograms per acre of land, it will be 10 yuan. What can you bear to plant? Even if it is cotton, the harvest of a mu of land is only more than 20 yuan. Apart from the cost of fertilizers and the cost of seedlings, there is not much money to make to a certain extent.

Now, fertilizers are sold. Although the quantity is not large, the price is about 10 tons for the outside world every day, but the price is not expensive. The price of 100 kilograms is almost more than 2 yuan, which is only one-fifth of the price spent by foreign countries.

Anyone will calculate the calculation if the cotton they got from Baoken Company before was twice the output of Baoken Company. The key is that it is above this cost. It seems that it is OK to use 2 yuan to make a profit of ** yuan. Suddenly, fertilizers became a new popular thing in Baotou. 10 tons a day were stolen almost in the morning.

Fertilizers have become a new growth point. Yang Yuanzhao also specially used an all-in-one machine to make some large jars, and combined them together to carry out a new round of expansion of the fertilizer plant. In the future, within one to two years, the production capacity of the fertilizer plant will be increased from about 130 tons to about 650 tons. In this way, not only will Baoken Company have a sufficient amount of fertilizer, but the fertilizer can also continue to be promoted outward. After years of planting and development, China's land is somewhat barren, and there are many places that need to be used for fertilizers. To a certain extent, fertilizers are one of the projects that need to be developed and urgently needed to be developed. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
