For Zhang Hanqing's Northeast immigrants, it really resonates with many people, especially the victims who are in dire straits. Their homes have been destroyed, and they have no place to live, and according to the experience of history, if the rescue is not effective, they will eventually have to leave their homes and become beggars. Now, there is a glimmer of opportunity, how can you refuse?

However, there are still some people, especially some people who don't know about the Northeast, some of them have never even been to the county seat in their lives, and they have an instinctive fear of the bitter cold outside the Guan, and they don't believe that the Northeast is so good, the Northeast people are so good, and the Northeast government will be so kind. There is food, shelter and clothing, as well as free trains, this is a good thing in the world, how can it fall on our heads? This young marshal won't be like a monster on the Gyeongbong line, running the train with his mouth full, right? Another possibility is human trafficking.

Someone questioned Zhang Hanqing: "The Northeast is so cold, the crops can't be planted, how can we live?" ”

Zhang Hanqing smiled, he asked, "Who said that?" The Northeast has a population of 30 million, and there are no crops, so everyone is going to drink the northwest wind? ”

The man said, "Yes, can you feed so many of us?" In his heart, the concept of 30 million is zero, and 100,000 victims are the number of the sky.

Zhang Hanqing knows the herd mentality that Chinese are used to, and he is afraid that no one will ask questions, and he will not be able to communicate with each other. Someone came to interact with him, of course, he couldn't ask for it. He described the benefits of the Northeast in a sensational tone, and everyone didn't believe it. Unbelief? There are songs to prove it. As soon as he was excited, he sang "My Home is in the Northeast" in public:

"Hey... Ay... Hey... Hey

My home is in the Northeast

On the Songhua River

There are mountains full of soybean sorghum

By the green mountains and green waters

Two large aspen trees in front of the door

Neat fence yards

It's a small grass house

Ay...

My dad always wanted to have a drink when he had something to do

Even if you don't have any food, you have to drink two taels

A large bowl of tea and a large bowl of wine

Neighbors on both sides

Five, six, six, six

There was a lot of laughter

Ay... Yo

My mother's voice has been bright since she was a child

Every day she drank mountain songs and went to school

Straight old man

Laid down his large cigarette pouch

Straight straight boy

I miss him even more

Sing straight to the old lady

Put down the needle and thread and listen to a paragraph

Straight to the big girl

Tears in my eyes

Forgot about laundry

Ay... Yo"

Zhang Hanqing is the son of the overseer, and his escape from the tiger's mouth in Beijing and his various performances in Mukden are a legendary existence in the hearts of many people in Tianjin. Now, for the sake of the victims, he personally took the stage and blasted his stubborn heart with a song that was difficult to get into the hall of elegance. In this day and age, singing such popular songs for later generations is really a pioneering feat. Although Zhang Hanqing's voice is not a golden pearl, everyone in the audience still feels refreshed---- after all, it is a century ahead. This is the legendary young marshal? Extraordinary!

Zhang Hanqing, who is from outside the Guan, can be so emotional about the victims of the Tianjin disaster, what else can he say? Reporters from all over the world, relying on the conscience of journalists, exaggerated Zhang Hanqing's actions in a big way. Many victims of the disaster were encouraged by Zhang Hanqing, and they also felt that they could not survive the disaster of the government's basic inaction, so they stepped on the train to the north one after another.

Zhang Hanqing also lived up to his preface, and arranged for the People's Party's "Tianjin Disaster Victims Resettlement Outside the Customs Headquarters" to be set up outside the Tianjin Railway Station, and branches were set up in many places. After initial screening and registration, the victims were placed on special trains. There were responsible comrades of the People's Party of Fengtian Province and local branches, and people were resettled along the Beijing-Fengtian line.

In the three months to the end of 1917, about 400,000 victims were enshrined. Although the number of people is not large, it has greatly reduced the difficulty of disaster relief in Tianjin, and the feat of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing has won the unanimous praise of Chinese and foreign media.

Zhang Hanqing's proposal to emigrate to the Northeast is deliberate and historically inevitable.

Even if the flooding of the Yellow River caused a large number of people to have no food to eat and no land to plant, while the vast black soil in the northeast was empty, the people in the interior were not allowed to develop, and they would rather be deserted. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty did not set up a long-term garrison post in Heilongjiang, and there were two inspections a year during the Kangxi period, and it was not necessarily inspected once in a few years, so they directly appointed a local indigenous chieftain, and then let them pay as many gifts as they paid each year.

After Tsarist Russia directly occupied Sakhalin in the late 18th century, the Qing Dynasty did not know about it, because Sakhalin had few tribute gifts at that time and was dismissed by Qianlong. When Tsarist Russia first expanded into the Heilongjiang River basin in the 17th century, the Russians found that there were only tens of thousands of Daur and other indigenous people scattered in the vast area of the Heilongjiang River basin.

This is similar to the Eskimos, the land is vast and sparsely populated, distributed in a vast area of Canada, it is difficult for the international community to recognize that Canada has been the sacred and inviolable land of the Eskimos since ancient times---- for example, you now tell modern Canadians that it is the Eskimos who laid the map of Canada, what is the result? Everyone on earth knows it.

The Qing Dynasty continued to manage this kind of fetters until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and after entering the modern society, the frontier management of Western countries was a modern model. By the time Tsarist Russia expanded again in the 19th century, Muravyov found that the Heilongjiang River basin had not changed much compared to 150 years earlier, and that it was still so empty and undeveloped, and there were no permanent garrison posts of the Qing army. So it was directly occupied.

The deep affection for the land lies in the blood and sweat paid, and there is affection only when there is investment. The more you invest, the deeper your feelings become, and if you don't pay capital and labor, you never build and it is difficult to build lasting patriotic feelings. This is why when foreign enemies invade the interior (such as the Japanese war of aggression against China), the Chinese will rise up and the public will also support it, also in the northeast region, after the invasion of Tsarist Russia, the Chinese did not have a strong resistance.

And when the Japanese invaded, the Chinese resisted strongly, this is because the mainland has been greatly paid and developed by the Chinese, and it is also because Zhang Zuolin introduced a large number of disaster victims such as Shandong and Henan to the northeast for a large amount of development and construction, and these people from the Chinese mainland have made a lot of contributions, and the Japanese will naturally resist fiercely if they want to deprive them of their achievements. At the time of the invasion of Tsarist Russia, the Northeast was not developed and constructed under the policy of banning the border of the Qing Dynasty, so naturally this land was not so cherished.

For example, the great powers seized so much land in China, especially Tsarist Russia, and cut off more than 1.6 million square kilometers of land from the northwest to the Far East, but in the hearts of the Chinese people, they are far less important than the first, Luda, Weihai and other places, and these places are not as good as a fraction of what Russia took. Wen Yiduo's "Song of the Seven Sons" has a vivid description that these places are only humiliated and hated by the Chinese, just because they are places where the Chinese have lived for generations and have been imprinted in the blood of the Chinese.

Only when they are born, raised, and buried in Sri Lanka can they have the temptation, feelings, and sacrosanct motivation for the people. In addition to the long history and culture of the Chinese people, the reason why China has survived after so many catastrophes is the vast land and large population. You don't see, only China is still in the four ancient civilizations (ancient India and modern India are not the same thing).

People are the source of social development and the note of the progress of the times. Japan has 70 million people, while Tohoku currently has less than 30 million. For a long time in the foreseeable future, unless there are particularly big changes, Zhang Hanqing will alone raise the land of the three eastern provinces to resist the Japanese erosion. If there are not enough human resources, what will Xiao Zhang do to fight Japan?

However, Zhang Hanqing's actions made Duan Qirui's government extremely embarrassed: it should have been done by the government, but now the young marshal in the northeast corner has won the first place and won the hearts of the people, how can he be embarrassed? As the head of the Central Government, if there is no indication at all, how will the outside world think of him? Speaking of history books, how to write about him?

There was no way, Duan Qirui had to grit his teeth and delay the addition of the new army, and the very expensive purchase of armaments was slowed down. The money diverted was mainly used for disaster relief.

However, his disaster relief has a double meaning: he lured him to support his family, and recruited many young and strong victims to join his "Chinese War Army". The generous treatment and the ability to eat the imperial grain were mainly able to take the opportunity to raise their families, which made many victims of the disaster in Tianjin join the ranks of the soldiers.

The other half of the money was in the name of post-disaster reconstruction, and increased investment in the arsenal in Gongxian County, Henan, in the name of solving employment. Because he recruited some laborers from the disaster area to enter here, their request was simple---- to give food to eat.

In comparison, the goodness of Fengtian and the young marshal is reflected, they are both old and young, women and children, and those people are basically just consuming food for a while!

Many onlookers couldn't stand it anymore, and the reporters also had a very good way, and they highlighted the enthusiasm of the two provinces outside the border and Fenghei provinces for the people in the disaster areas in the major newspapers and periodicals, and also alluded to the behavior of the Duan government government in the fire.

Lao Duan also has connections, he is not to be outdone, and also mobilized the imperial literati, metaphorically for Fenghei Province's behavior as "ulterior motives", taking advantage of the chaos to "buy people's hearts", and predicted that the victims of the disaster will have a more tragic ending when they enter Fengtian: because Zhang Hanqing is the son of a warlord, he cannot have such a mind and bearing, and his love for the victims may be just a gimmick.

In this regard, Zhang Hanqing responded with disdain and shamelessness, but he found another way and first published a poem "I Love This Land" in the "Beijing News", expressing his love for the people and the country in his heart with a passionate and majestic momentum, and also blowing the clarion call for new poems to ask for a place in the history of modern literature from the old style poems:

If I were a bird,

I should also sing with a hoarse throat:

This storm-stricken land,

This eternal river of our grief and indignation,

This wrathful wind that blows endlessly,

And the incomparably gentle dawn from the woods...

---- and then I died,

Even the feathers rotted in the ground.

Why do I always have tears in my eyes?

Because I love this land so much...
