Chapter 312: Tao Min in North Korea (Part I)
That's what he meant, and it's hard to say when No. 777 will be able to move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info you also know that Gu Yunkun said that it is difficult to make No. 777 have the ability to sail within a year. Even if No. 777 can sail away, it is not certain that our shells will be enough to hit a few times. After Zhang Guodong finished speaking, he shook his head again, "But the cost of the Sea King is 40,000 pounds, which is about 400,000 taels of silver now, and we can't afford to build such a big ship." ”
"Chairman Zhang, what do you mean?" Xia Yang knew that Zhang Guodong was telling the truth.
"That's what I'll tell you, you just have to count." Zhang Guodong said with a smile, "I can't turn silver now, but this is really a problem, and we have to consider the situation of turning against Westerners in the future." ”
When Zhang Guodong returned to his office, Wang Hua was already waiting for him.
"Lao Wang, is there any situation?"
"I'll tell you about a situation." Wang Hua closed the door, "Didn't I arrange for Li Dayao to go fishing, now it is basically certain that there is a Westerner arranged by Tao Min." ”
"Just one?"
"It's hard to say, I've looked for Li Dayao alone now, and there are some meanings in and out of my words."
"What are your plans?"
"I'm here to ask you." Wang Hua said, "Whether it's a secret arrest or waiting, I don't think it will be just this one." ”
Zhang Guodong thought for a while: "I don't think it's appropriate to arrest now, we don't know the exact number of moles and their contact information, if you arrest them rashly, you may be surprised." I suggest that you can put a long line to catch big fish, so that Li Dayao can reveal a little bit of the inconsequential situation in Yulin Bay, and try to find out their true intentions. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Wang Hua turned around to leave.
"Lao Wang, wait a minute." Zhang Guodong stopped Wang Hua, "You don't just want to engage in intelligence now, you are also the principal of the military academy." ”
"Chairman Zhang, I know." Wang Hua said with a smile, "Everything is normal at the Yulinwan Military Academy now, and all the work is being carried out step by step. ”
"I'm not talking about that." Zhang Guodong motioned for Wang Hua to sit down, "I just discussed with Lao Xia, we have to recruit troops on a large scale in the past few months, and we need a certain number of officers and non-commissioned officers. Your military academy should hurry up, and it is better to have a crash course or something. ”
"Probably how many gaps, I'll go back and make a plan."
"That's how it is now." Zhang Guodong said, "We are going to Japan with Zheng Zhilong, and we have also spoken the big words and sent 10,000 troops." On the navy side, there are about two or three thousand men on eight warships, and on the army side, I would like to reorganize an independent division, about six or seven thousand people. ”
Wang Hua frowned unconsciously: "Do you want so much, we don't have enough soldiers." ”
"That's why we have to recruit soldiers vigorously." Zhang Guodong explained, "The members of the Military Commission who are now at home are you, me and Zeng Guangxian, you go back and plan first, and in a few days the three of us will have a meeting to study it, and it will definitely not work if we don't recruit soldiers." ”
Tao Min and Tao Gong sat in their office at the Nampo Barracks.
"Brother, don't say it, the barracks built by Han Wantao and them is quite strong, which saves us a lot of trouble."
"Do you want to go back to Yulin Bay to thank them?" Tao Min smiled, "How is the situation in North Korea now?" ”
"The shipyard is being built, and I have recruited about seven hundred North Koreans. Hauge had been to Pyongyang once, and he didn't react much now. ”
"Who are the North Koreans you're recruiting?" Tao Min asked, "What is the situation in their home in general?" ”
"It's basically a poor jingle." Tao Gong replied, "The work of building a shipyard is very tiring, and if you don't really have enough to eat, you won't come here to work." ”
"Are you tired of working?" Tao Min suddenly paused, "Brother, have you forced these North Koreans to work?" ”
"Brother, what do you mean by coercion?" Tao Gong didn't understand why his brother suddenly asked, "I told the overseer that you are not allowed to beat and scold, but it is certain that you work overtime every day, and we can't afford to delay." Besides, we all have enough to eat, and they should have no problem. ”
"Oh." Tao Min put a snack slightly, "Have you checked the surrounding situation, population land." ”
"I've checked." Tao Gong took out a piece of paper from his body, "Originally, Han Wantao and his family rented Nanpu about 100 square kilometers, scattered more than a dozen small villages, with a small population, almost more than 2,000 people." There are about 17,800 mu of cultivated land that has been reclaimed, and I can still reclaim tens of thousands of mu after I took a look. ”
"How's the class composition?" Tao Min laughed first after speaking, "This word is really a bit weird. ”
"Class composition." Tao Gong also smiled, "I still divide it according to our division in the 50s, poor peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants and landlords. The situation in North Korea is similar to ours, with 80 percent of the poor peasants and middle peasants, but there are not many real landlords, and North Korea has no land in the first place. ”
"Do you know which village has the biggest gap between the rich and the poor?"
"There's a village." Tao Gong looked at the records on the paper, "There is a village called Qingshanli in our northwest, with a population of about 200 and 2,000 acres of cultivated land, half of which are from the Li Chang's family. Most of the families have less than 10 acres of arable land, and they belong to the poor peasant class. ”
"How's that lieutenant man?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Tao Gong said, "He has a son who is an official in the yamen of Huanghae Province, so he is very powerful in the village. ”
"No great evil?" Tao Min smiled, "Then let's find him some big treachery and evil to come out, and we will cut him." ”
"Brother, that's not good." Tao Gong suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"Nothing bad." Tao Min took out a document, "This is a little idea of land reform in the past few days, if you think there is no problem, go to Qingshan to do a pilot first." Don't forget that we still have a 3,000 fast gun team, and the North Koreans don't dare to have any ideas. ”
Tao Gong knew that his brother's decision had been made: "Okay, I'll go and prepare, I don't need to say a word to Haoge." ”
"Don't do it yet, wait until we go to Qingshan to see the situation."
A few days later, the Tao Min brothers rode to Qingshan with a fast gun team of 100 people.
More than 200 villagers were all driven to the courtyard, and the surrounding 100 Eight Banners fast gun teams were holding flintlock pistols with bayonets on them, and Tao Min's heart suddenly had a feeling that Japanese devils had entered the village.
"Who is the chief here?" Tao Gong shouted on his horse.
An old man in his 50s walked out of the crowd after listening to the translation: "The villain is Cui Zhenhao, the chief here, I don't know where you adults come from?" ”
"The master of my family is the Duke of Dajin Town." A Niu Lu Ezhen stepped forward and shouted in Korean.
Tao Min pursed his mouth, and the Ezhen continued to shout: "Now you all listen, whoever has less than ten acres of arable land at home stands up." ”
North Koreans all look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and no one knows what this arrogant Eight Banners really means.
Seeing that no one stood up, Ezhen was a little anxious: "What, don't you have a lot of land at home, and those that are less than ten acres will stand up immediately." ”
More than a hundred people stood up one after another, and Tao Gong jumped off his horse and walked to an old man in shabby clothes: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are here by the will of the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, and we are here to help you." ”
After listening to the translation, the old man of North Korea replied resignedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, Great Khan." ”
Niu Lu Ezhen continued to shout: "If you have less than 50 acres of land at home, stand over there." ”
Dozens of more people stood up, and only a few people remained in place.
Tao Gong walked in front of Cui Zhenhao: "How much land do you have in your house?" ”
"Back to adults, villains' homes have more than 1,000 acres of land." Cui Zhenhao didn't know what this Daejin Zhen Guogong meant by asking, and replied tremblingly.
"Your family occupies more than 1,000 acres of land, and the sum of their people is less than your family." Tao Gong sneered, "Cui Lichang, do you think this is appropriate?" ”
"Uh-huh." Cui Jinhao didn't know how to answer, well.
"Chief Cui, how about giving everyone a share of your land?"
"Your Excellency, your Excellency." Cui Zhenhao didn't expect Tao to say this, "These lands are all saved by villains from between their teeth, and they are all accumulated by villains over the years." ”
"I think you exploited it." Tao Gong said a very modern word, then turned to Niu Lu Ezhen and said, "Read it to them." ”
"On the orders of the Great Khan of the Great Golden Kingdom." Niu Lu Ezhen unfolded what Tao Min wrote that he didn't even understand very well, and read it word by word, "Dajin Guozhen Guogong Aixinjue Luo Taomin and Aixinjue Luo Taogong came to Korea to carry out land reform and implement the equalization system. In all counties and townships, the land occupied by adult men shall not exceed 20 acres, that of women shall not exceed 10 acres, and that of children shall not exceed 5 acres. Each household shall be registered and divided according to the number of people, and the shortfall shall be made up, and the excess shall be confiscated. ”
"Dajin Kingdom wants to give us land?"
"If one person has 20 acres, women and children can also divide it."
North Koreans began to chatter, and some began to wonder in their hearts how much they would get for their family.
"Don't make any noise." Niu Lu Ezhen continued to read aloud, "Those stubborn elements who fight against the Dajin Kingdom and against the division of land will be suppressed. Those who forcibly rob people's land, bully men and women, and commit unforgivable crimes will all be suppressed. ”
"Cui Lichang." Tao Gong looked at Cui Zhenhao with a smile, "Did you hear clearly?" ”
"Your Excellency, your Excellency." Cui Zhenhao knelt on the ground, "The villain is wronged, the villain's land was bought by the villain himself, and he didn't rob the people's land, let alone bully men and women." ”
Tao Min jumped off his horse and walked in front of the old Korean man in tattered clothes just now: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are here to call the shots for you." What evil deeds does this Cui Zhenhao usually have, you can say it, with us, no one can threaten you. ”
"Your Excellency." The old North Korean man looked like he was stumbling, "Cui Li is long on weekdays, and there is nothing evil on weekdays, the villain doesn't know, I really don't know." ”
"You don't have to be afraid." Tao Min stood up straight and shouted, "You can think about why he, Cui Zhenhao, can do nothing but eat and drink spicy food." And you work hard every day, tired and tired for a year. But in the end, you can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, why is that? ”
"I know." A man in his 30s came out in the crowd and said, "This Cui Zhenhao is extremely evil, he only eats white noodles every day, but we can't even eat wild vegetables." He married 2 daughters-in-law, and I haven't tasted a woman until now. ”
"Well, that's a good point." Tao Min walked over and looked at the person who stood up, and scolded secretly in his heart, "If you fall into the well, you should be the first to suppress you." ”
Tao Min thought so in his heart, but there was an admiring look on his face: "Folks, you should be the same as him." Cui Zhenhao has exploited you for so long before, are you just submissive and uncomplaining? ”
"What's your name?" Tao Gong asked from the side.
"Back to my lord." The man straightened his chest, "The villain's name is Choi Jung-hyun." ”
"Good, Choi Jung-hyun." Tao Gong turned around and took a leather jacket from his horse, "This is for you, as long as you dare to expose Cui Zhenhao's crimes, you are a good citizen of my Dajin, and we appreciate you." ”
"Master Xie." Choi Jung-hyun also ignored the fact that the weather was already hot, turned around and put the leather jacket on his body, and looked at other North Koreans very proudly.
"Folks, look." Tao Min pointed at Cui Zhengxian, "As long as it is with our Dajin, we will reuse it, and we will give you land for your sake." Gone are the evil systems of exploitation of the past, and you will all have land and food for all, and this will be your life in the future. ”
