Chapter 495: Goryeo Remnants
Luo Tian is Hu Zhen's attendant civil official, he has a lot of documents on imperial government affairs in his hands, he reads a lot of them every day and is familiar with them, and he can deal with the emperor at any time for reference, and now when he hears Hu Zhen ask, he sorts it out a little in his heart, and replies:
"Your Majesty, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and other major rivers governance, in fact, there were some plans in the former Qing Dynasty, but there has been a lack of funds and manpower, and there is no large-scale governance, after the establishment of the empire, a systematic governance plan was proposed, and the investment was equal to the Qing Dynasty's annual revenue of 170 million yuan budget, of which 50 million yuan on the Huai River and 120 million yuan on the Yangtze River, and now it has begun to convene millions of migrant workers for construction......
"Well, apart from construction, are there any mass migrations leaving the river area?"
In another time and space, Hu Zhen often saw that when the great rivers were flooding, thousands of soldiers and civilians had to be dispatched to strictly guard against the floods in order to stop the floods, and he thought at that time that if China had enough territory, all the residents who might be threatened by floods would be relocated to other places, and simply let these areas become lakes for flood storage, wouldn't the threat of floods be much less.

Now that the Chinese Empire has a vast territory of more than 30 million square kilometers, it is completely possible to realize Hu Zhen's idea, and he did not pay much attention to the water conservancy management of these rivers, but only put forward his idea to Li Hongzhang, Hu Zhen did not know whether the principles of this idea were implemented or not, so he raised this question.
"Your Majesty, during the governance of the Huai River, the Yangtze River, the Pearl River and other major rivers, this principle has been widely used to resettle, and the residents threatened by floods have been transferred to neighboring areas, and now Australia, Miandian, Singapore, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula are in urgent need of Chinese immigrants to go to enrich them, and the resettlement plan has been revised, and the budget has been added, and the immigrants have been vigorously encouraged to settle down in these places and spread their branches......
Hu Zhen was immediately very happy when he heard this, and nodded and said, "Very good!" Is there any difficulty in controlling river migration? ”
"In the actual resettlement work, the more troublesome thing is that the rural residents do not have much assets in the first place, as long as the family moves out, there is nothing to do, but some urban areas are under the threat of flooding, and it is difficult to remove the local residents, so we have to use reinforced dikes to prevent the flooding."
"There are certain difficulties in relocating cities, but in the future, there will be no such things in the new urban planning, and the existing urban residents who are threatened by floods will also be gradually relocated!" Hu Zhen did not want to mobilize thousands of people in a flood year to use the human body as a flood weapon to block the flood.
"Yes, the minister will remember this and inform the Prime Minister's Office!"
"As long as you can solve things with money, it's not a difficult thing for me!" Hu Zhen said, suddenly remembered something, he changed his words, and asked:
"What is the situation with the money that we are transferring from Switzerland, England, the United States and other European countries?"
"Report to the Emperor, according to statistics, the amount of funds flowing back from Europe and the United States has reached 21,575 million yuan, equivalent to 382 million pounds sterling......
This astronomical amount of wealth is equal to the financial revenue of the Qing court for two hundred years, but Hu Zhen has no excitement, over the years, he has long been accustomed to this huge and dazzling wealth, and no longer wants to jump up and cheer for one or two hundred million pounds, but calmly said:
"This wealth is averaged to the 470 million compatriots of my Chinese Empire, which is not much, and we have to plan the budget and use it well!"
"According to your request from the emperor, Minister Fan Qianhai and President Zhang Suan are intensively organizing the formulation of a twenty-year budget plan, and rationally use this huge amount of funds to support the construction of the empire."
"Well, okay, I'm just waiting for their draft budget!" Hu Zhen nodded, he knew that because it involves all aspects of the infrastructure construction of a huge country, the national economy and the people's livelihood, we cannot favor one over the other, and we must consider balanced development, it is not easy to formulate a budget for 20 years, and it will not be possible to get it in less than three or five months.
Just as Hu Zhen and Luo Tian were chatting endlessly, a gunshot suddenly rang out in front of them.
Zhang Dajiang, who had been standing beside Hu Zhen vigilantly watching the situation on the side of the road, pulled out his gun and shouted: "What's the matter? ”
"Report, there are traces of the Japanese in front of you!"
Luo Tian was puzzled: "What is going on, this is the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, how can there be traces of the Japanese Bandits?" ”
Hu Zhen snorted coldly and said, "It is precisely because this is the northern part of Goryeo that our people have relaxed their vigilance, and there is a place for the Japanese to stay!" ”
"Your Majesty, please enter the armored car immediately!" Zhang Dajiang blocked in front of Hu Zhen, wanted to push Hu Zhen into the car, and said to the surrounding guards: "Prepare to fight!" No matter what the enemy, destroy it here today! ”
This time, the emperor was accompanied by a reinforced battalion of more than 1,000 guards, divided into 19 armored vehicles and 50 cars, driving along the potholed roads of the Goryeo Peninsula, raising smoke and dust that could not attract the attention of others.
The sudden appearance of the enemy was six or seven thousand people, and it was the remnants of the Japanese army, after the Chinese army entered the Goryeo Peninsula, it was like a great defeat of the Japanese army, but a small part of the Japanese army, under the command of Youpeng and others in Yama County, quietly sneaked from the uninhabited central mountainous area, and finally infiltrated the northern part of Goryeo near the Yalu River.
The attention of the Huaxia army was only focused on the southern part of Goryeo, but it ignored the vigilance and search in the north, so that the more than 7,000 Japanese troops became fish that slipped through the net, quietly hibernating, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Huaxia army.
In these mountainous areas, the Japanese army had no food, and mainly lived by eating leaves, and in order to supplement sufficient nutrition, the Japanese army captured some Koreans, cut the whole people's hearts, and boiled them to eat.
There was no hopeless situation, and almost every Japanese army was in despair.
This morning, the Japanese army, who was watching outside, found a convoy coming from afar, and hurriedly reported to Youyou in Shanxian County.
Almost the last essence of the Japanese army was concentrated in this remnant Japanese army, including Nogi Noshinori, who was on the verge of escape, and he said impatiently: "This must be a convoy of supplies, and this is a perfect opportunity for us to replenish ammunition!" ”
General Dashan Yan, who escaped in the Battle of Vladivostok, is also ragged at the moment, and he is weak when he speaks, but his eyes reveal a wolf-like fierce light: "We must do it, otherwise there is no point in us staying here!" (To be continued.) )
