自西汉起,在西域这块祖国的热土上,屯垦大幕就缓缓拉开。屯垦戍边如古韵长歌,穿越2000多年的历史,并伴随着祖国统一和民族交往的历史脉动。1949年9月,新疆和平解放,中国人民解放军第一兵团进驻新疆各地。由于当时新疆经济十分落后,百业凋零,物资奇缺,就地解决近20万军队粮饷绝无可能,新疆军区每月派飞机去北京运一趟银元购粮以供军用。鉴于此,毛泽东高瞻远瞩,认真分析新疆形势,借鉴历代屯田经验,为了边疆长治久安,决心在新疆大兴屯垦戍边事业。全军指战员遵照命令,迅速投入到屯垦戍边中去,在逐步实现粮食、食油、蔬菜自给自足之后,部队在新疆站稳了脚跟。 Starting from the Western Han Dynasty, on the hot land of this motherland in the western region, the curtain of the settlement has slowly been opened. Garrison garrison garrison long songs, through 2,000 years of history, and accompanied by the history of the reunification of the motherland and ethnic contacts pulse. September 1949, the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang, the First Corps of People's Liberation Army stationed in various parts of Xinjiang. Because of the very backward economy in Xinjiang at that time, all sectors of industry and businesses were in a doldrums and supplies were scarce. It was impossible to solve nearly 200,000 military commissions on the spot. The Xinjiang Military Region sent a monthly flight to Beijing to purchase grain for military purposes. In view of this, Mao Zedong has a far-sighted look at the situation in Xinjiang, conscientiously analyzes the experience of Tuntian in the past dynasties, and resolves to reclaim the cause of desertification in Daxing District of Xinjiang for the sake of lasting peace and stability in the frontier. The commanders and soldiers of the entire army, in accordance with the orders, promptly devoted themselves to stationing and cleaning the frontiers of the armed forces. After gradually realizing the goal of providing food, edible oil and vegetables with self-sufficiency, the armed forces stood firm in Xinjiang.
