Chapter 1189: The First Year
The root of the problem of the victims is their livelihood, and people can do anything to survive, but as long as their basic needs are met, it is difficult for the victims to evolve into social problems and even political problems. Of course, the times are different, and the needs of disaster victims and refugees will evolve with the times.
The number of war refugees who flowed into Xian was huge, and it was simply impractical to disperse to all parts of the country.
Not to mention the problem of the contagion of malignant diseases, how so many people are dismissed, whether they are willing or not, how to resettle after dismissal, whether the resettlement place accepts it or not, and what to do with eating and drinking Lazar disease on the road. What's more, the cost of a few million people is not on the order of a few hundred thousand, nor is it the business of a local government, and it will bring about nationwide law and order and riots.
The only effective measure is to control the movement of the affected people, to resettle them locally, to provide them with the most basic means of labour, and to give them land to feed themselves.
At present, the ecosystem is intact, the rate of exploitation of land resources by human beings is not high, and most of the two counties of Qingtian and Sangnam are hilly landforms and forests, and there is no logging or land reclamation, and the existing cultivated land is not enough to meet the needs of five or six million immigrants.
However, improved seeds, accumulated fertilizer, and advanced agricultural technology have increased land output, and the reduced taxes have increased peasants' incomes, further alleviating the problems caused by the shortage of cultivated land. At the same time, logging and land reclamation can not only promote the development of forestry and obtain economic resources by selling timber, but also promote terraces in mountain and forest areas, and through the popularization of terraces, the mountains can be turned into cultivated land.
As long as the resettlement is properly disposed of in place, the resettlement of batches and forms a cycle, the local economy will enter a relatively benign and relatively closed circular economy after the third year.
At the same time, the technology industry centers represented by Yongxing, Ruitian, Xuanyun, Lincheng and Wanchuan have decentralized the manufacturing chain of low-tech products to the domestic capital class, and encouraged the wealthy, business owners, and small workshop owners to participate in the manufacture of low-end products.
The factories of the imperial court continued to produce the necessary equipment and machinery, and provided preferential loans and supply and marketing channels, and the imperial court also provided some orders for the purchase of products, and made full use of and drove those safe-haven funds and wealthy people who fled to the Xian country to set up enterprises, open factories, and recruit laborers.
The more factories there are, the more social labor force and nomads can be absorbed, and the refugees who have fled into the hinterland of the Xian country eventually become permanent residents and labor force, and integrate into social production. For refugees in Sangnan, Sangbei and Qingtian, when the epidemic basically subsides, some areas will be appropriately opened to enter the hinterland, and business owners will be allowed to recruit hired workers to absorb labor force and expand production.
After several years of policy support and industrial adjustment, the economy of Xianguo has not only not been reduced because of the war, but on the contrary, its basic situation has become more and more solid. Of course, the premise is that there is a large-scale industry, advanced economic concepts and market demand.
Leaving the residence of the Jin delegation, Bailiyan returned to the palace to report to King Xian, and reported to Jiang Yu on the conditions proposed by the Jin State.
"This is blackmail and blackmail, it is simply shameless, and the widow will never agree!"
"The king is angry, the conditions of the Jin Kingdom are not surprising, and the conditions proposed by the Zhiguo and Wei Guoguo are probably more, but one yard is one yard, and they will not agree to be in our country, not them."
"If they do not obey them, what if the princes do not send troops or send fewer troops." King Xian asked angrily.
"Then this time the alliance will be broken up, open the Central Plains to be attacked and plundered, and my country will just wait and see what happens."
King Xian's face changed when he heard the news:
"If you abandon the alliance like this, where is the face of the widow, and where is the prestige of the Xianguo."
"King, although this alliance was proposed by our Xian country, it was held in the name of Liang State, so even if our country gives up the alliance, Liang State will share the notoriety."
The reason why Bailiyan allowed Liang Guo to meet the alliance in name was not because of Mo Jianzi's clever calculation, but in fact, it was already expected by Bailiyan, if the alliance failed, Liang Guo would also share in the responsibility.
Jiang Yu thought about it for a long time and felt that there was some truth, and then asked:
"Will this lead to unforeseen consequences?"
"Back to the king, don't forget that there is still a reinforcement who will inevitably participate in the battle."
"Which reinforcement?"
"Jin Xuedi people, Jin Xuedi people will participate in the war."
"How can they serve the people of the Central Plains to the death."
"Naturally, they won't die for the sake of the Central Plains, but they always have to think about themselves. Moreover, they have beast soldiers, and under hand-to-hand combat, the beast soldiers make surprise attacks, which pose a huge threat to the armpits. ”
"That's just a beast soldier, how can Jin Xuedi sacrifice his people's lives for the Central Plains in vain."
"But if the hinterland of the Central Plains is exposed to armpit soldiers, they just don't want to help it. At that time, the eldest grandson will destroy the country, the population will lose fifty or sixty million, the world will be shaken, and the world will be in an uproar, and the situation will be so bad that the princes of the Central Plains can continue to preserve their strength and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
"It's a risky move!"
Jiang Yu said heavily, his chest was cold.
The Changsun bordered the Xian State, the Changsun died in the country, and the armpit land route approached the border, the strategic buffer of the past few years no longer existed, and the price to be paid for counteroffensive measures would be incalculable.
"I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, let the widow think carefully before discussing it separately."
"No. The minister retired first. ”
"Yongxing Hou is slow." Jiang Yu shouted to Baili Yan, and then said, "What should I do in the first battle of Yan Kingdom?" ”
"How it should be or how it is, it is necessary for Yan Guo to win a big victory, and it will be delayed until the first half of next year, and even the second half of next year, and the alliance can also be delayed until the second half of next year. At that time, on the one hand, he used troops in the Yan State, and on the other hand, he pushed the battle line of the Changsun Peninsula to the south. And if the countries continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, after the first war of the Yan Kingdom, our country can shirk the vitality and suffer a great injury, and it is no longer able to continue the alliance and let the princes save themselves.
Therefore, the minister suggested continuing to send reinforcements to the Yan State, so that foreign troops could join the war. ”
"Continuing to increase the number of troops will inevitably increase the casualties of our army, and the widow does not want to take the lives of our soldiers of the Xianguo country and waste them on his land in vain."
"But sometimes there is a price to be paid for the greater good. Moreover, the war situation will be even more difficult in the future, and our country needs more experienced generals and middle and lower-level military attachés, which can only be obtained in actual combat, and cannot be cultivated.
If the king is worried about the source of soldiers, the people of the eldest grandson disaster who are now pouring into the Xianguo can be recruited, and the foreigners scattered in the counties of the Xianguo can also be recruited, and the king does not need to worry. ”
The population of Xianguo has soared from 245 million in 653 to more than 32 million, of which more than 6 million are Changsun refugees, more than 1.4 million are foreign soldiers and their families, and more than 700,000 are wealthy people whose families have fled to Xianguo for refuge.
In addition, there are also black households who have entered Xianguo through different channels, and migrants who have not ascended the throne, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 33 million residents who have settled in the country for more than two years and are resident in China.
Although the quality of the population that has increased in the last four or five years is far inferior to that of the Xian people, it does not hinder conscription and combat training, and as long as the manpower is properly transformed, Bailiyan is not worried about the shortage of soldiers.
The next day, Wang Li brought the Jin Kingdom Book into the palace to meet King Xian and conveyed the will of the Jin King to meet the alliance. Jiang Yu did not get angry with Wang Li at all because of yesterday's unhappiness, on the contrary, he maintained the harmony on the scene as always, and did not lose the bearing of a great country in his words.
This is the true face of Jiang Yu, who is not sincere on the outside, and even Bailiyan looks away at the prince.
As the time turned into December, the signs of landing in Rongcheng Port became more and more obvious, and the military advisers sent by Xian to Yan came to an astonishing conclusion that Rongcheng Port had two very fatal wounds, one was a deep-water port, and the other was granite.
The wharf of Rongcheng Port is located on the granite, the highest point of the granite vein is only two zhang higher than the sea surface, the lowest place is not seven feet underwater, 40% of the area is basically the same as the sea level, and it is a deep-water port, the granite above the sea level can be blown up, and the on-site landfill below the sea level is implemented, and the granite belt that stretches for dozens of miles will be a natural landing site.
It is said that Rongcheng has such unique geographical conditions that a large port should be developed, but in the past few hundred years, Rongcheng has been just a small port.
The reason for this is that the maritime economic hegemony of the Liang State does not allow the small princes to develop large ports with sound facilities, and Rongcheng is not far from Jinye, and the result of the development of Rongcheng is bound to divert the maritime trade of Jinye City.
Second, due to technical and cognitive constraints, the deep-water port in Rongcheng has not been excavated, and the displacement of wooden ships is limited, so the function of the deep-water port is similar to that of an ordinary port 30 years ago, and there is not much difference.
The unexpected situation in Rongcheng complicated the situation, and Bai Liyan began to worry that the scale of this landing was larger than that of Liangxian, Tianyun, and Jinye combined.
On the ninth day of December, the Son of Heaven landed at Yongxing Port under the escort of the Liang State Navy, and the King of Xian personally went to Yongxing to "pick up", and for the first time sent a gold-plated limousine to pick up foreign guests and heads of state.
It is not only to show the respect of Xianguo for Shangbang, but also to give the Son of Heaven a horse, thinking that the Son of Heaven must be in a complicated mood sitting in a gilded limousine.
The arrival of the Son of Heaven does not mean the beginning of the alliance, and to this day, the envoys and letters of the four countries of Qiguo, Weiguo, Chen, and Zhao are still on the way because of the geographical distance, and the alliance still has to be delayed until the first month.
But the time was fair, and while the princes were still busy with the alliance, how to preserve their strength, and ask for more benefits, Marshal Oka began the offensive in 658 after receiving reinforcements from his homeland.
The landing battle at Rongcheng officially began on 21 December, and under the cover of more than 30 ironclad canning ships and more than 70 sail warships, the armpits carried out simultaneous landings on five beaches along the coast.
In view of the fact that the beach was unsafe to defend and the threat of naval artillery, the Yuke, Yan, and Xian armies abandoned the surface position defense of the landing site, retreated to Rongcheng and the counties, planted mines along the way to the inland, evacuated the population, and stepped up reinforcements to Rongcheng.
Li Jian, the first town of the Xian army, 50,000 people, Zhou Deyan's second column of 15,000 people, Bao Rui's third column of 15,000 people, and 50,000 foreign troops, a total of more than 130,000 people, rushed to Yan State for reinforcements. Zhao Huan temporarily commanded the first column on behalf of Jiang Jie and Ye Shan's third town to defend the Liang State.
But this time it wasn't by car, and the whole journey was on horseback.
The Battle of Rongcheng undoubtedly added a little pressure to the Huimeng, if it wins, the Huimeng will not go well, at least the princes will have a delusion, be optimistic and misjudge the situation, and create unnecessary trouble for Xianguo. If defeated, the outcome of the alliance will be even worse, and the vassal states will inevitably open their mouths in order to protect themselves.
