Chapter 340:

When Zhang Jianping met with the French Consul Fang Suya, the Western Route Liberation Army

After the comrades who maintained local stability and established basic political power, they continued along the Tea Horse

After advancing along the ancient road and reaching Pu'er and Xishuangbanna, the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road,

The People's Liberation Army from Kunming attacked everywhere to eliminate the Qing Dynasty forces, and then

The troops were divided into several groups and marched directly to various places to control the border areas.

To the east, control Mengzi, Simao, Hekou and other places, and contact Zhou Yunxiang and others.

The uprising comrades of the people, understand the local situation, and eliminate the influence of the great powers.

Reaching the border town of Tengchong, the British consulates in Manyun, Tengchong and other places were closed.

And immediately contacted Dao Anren and other comrades in Ganya and other places to form a local government

Comrade Dao Anren even led the People's Liberation Army to drive away the

The British troops recaptured and

And liberated large tracts of territory including Ganya, Longchuan, Mengmao, etc.

The PLA's military action was equivalent to directly abolishing the British and Qing dynasties.

The Sino-British Supplementary Treaty on Burma signed by the government.

In his later years, Dao Anren accepted an interview program and said: "At the beginning, we

Some ethnic minorities still have doubts about the Progressive Party and the People's Liberation Army, but when I received

I visited the People's Liberation Army marching into Yunnan, read their "Liberation Manual" and their attitude towards foreign powers.

After learning about the principles and policies of the Progressive Party, I knew that the Progressive Party would definitely win the world, and I made up my mind to follow the Progressive Party.

The reporter asked curiously: "How did you first learn about the concept of moving forward?

What about the Party and the People's Liberation Army?"

"The horse caravans were the ones that brought news along the ancient Tea Horse Road. Later,

Comrades of the Forward Party took the initiative to contact us to resist the British. At that time, the Qing officials prohibited us from provoking border

You also know that the Qing court and its officials are weak and incompetent.

The lands on which our peoples have lived for generations were ceded to Britain.

These lands were occupied by British invaders, and the people of various ethnic groups in the border areas became homeless.

At the call of the comrades of the Progressive Party, I gathered compatriots of all nationalities and the Progressive Party.

The Party will fight against the invaders together."

"According to records, after the People's Liberation Army entered Tengchong and other places, they directly

There was a conflict with the British invaders, and we expelled the British invaders and liberated the

Was the fighting fierce at that time?"

Hearing this, Dao Anren laughed and said: "I am in Yingjiang.

He had resisted the British invasion for eight years at the Iron Wall Pass and was very familiar with every tree and grass there.

It is known that the battle on the road led by us will be very easy.

After overthrowing the Qing government in Yunnan, it was natural that the Qing government would cede its land to the invaders.

This action was also a chance for people of all ethnic groups to see the Progressive Party and the People's Liberation Army

Do we have the ability and determination to defend our borders?"

"You said that you decided to follow the policies of the great powers because you saw them.

Is it from the Forward Party?"

“At that time, the policies of the Progressive Party all resonated with us.

The attitude reflected in the content is very tough.

These policies are quite correct.

In fact, at that time, Yunnan was a weak link of the great powers. Yunnan was located in the inland area. Although Germany and the United States also had interests, they were mainly connected with Yunnan.

The interests of Britain and France on the border were infringed, so they started to take strong measures against the powers from Yunnan.

A tough attitude is the best choice, and it will also help to liberate the country and eliminate the influence of foreign powers.

There is a lot of specific content in it, covering all aspects. For example, the People's Liberation Army

"The attitude is indeed very tough, but these practices are very gratifying.

What else is included in the policy guidelines?"

“It was very gratifying, so the people of Yunnan quickly accepted Yunnan being

The privilege of the news agency."

At this point, Dao Anren laughed and said: "At that time, the People's Liberation Army was more than

All the foreigners were trembling with fear waiting to be investigated. It was really a big deal at that time.

We naturally joined the resistance against imperialist aggression voluntarily.

Come to the team."

"Are they all going to be dealt with? The hospitals opened by the foreign powers in our country were also directly confiscated.

"No, this is one of the reasons why I said the Progressive Party will definitely win the world.

"After the People's Liberation Army liberated Yunnan, what did it do that impressed you the most?

What about profound ones?"

“There are many things that impressed me, but the most profound thing is

The road was built. At that time, the road conditions in Yunnan were very poor.

The invasion of foreign powers led to the planning of a large number of roads from Kunming, roughly from Kunming to Guiyang.

Yang, Kunming to Yibin, Kunming to Dali and Lijiang, Kunming to Tengchong, Kunming to

The roads in Mengzi, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway from Kunming to Hekou.

The young people worked together, and each section was responsible for its own work. At most, there were one to two million people working on the project every day.

Even now, it seems like an astronomical figure. It is conceivable that Yunnan and Guizhou were

Inspired by the people's enthusiasm for building the country, people all participated in the construction for free.

The government purchased all the surplus grain from farmers at a fair price.

Those who do will be severely punished."

“Are all the roads built on dirt?”

“Yes, at that time there was no condition to build cement or asphalt roads, so we had to

The road from Yibin to Kunming was paved with cement.

This is also a huge progress for Yunnan.

At that time, the conditions for land reform in many places in Yunnan and Guizhou were ripe. You may also know that
