Chapter 234: The Way to Resolve the Hakka Conflict
Feng Yunshan had no idea what was happening in the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He followed Wu Ruxiao, who had returned, to meet the Hakka army leaders Lin Dashan and Hou Er, who had come to help attack the rebels.
For the Hakka people, Feng Yunshan still has some sympathy. But now that he is the Holy King and the actual ruler of Liangguang, he sits in a different position, and he has a headache for their behavior of gathering at every turn and grabbing land and water with the surrounding natives.
In the history of the Liangguang region, the two families of Tuke fought with weapons, starting from the Ming Dynasty, but the real trouble and disaster in all directions was the last few decades from the end of Daoguang to the Guangxu period.
Feng Yunshan knew that the Turkish-Hakker conflict had caused profound disasters to the local people, whether they were Turkish-Hakka or Hakka. The root cause of the Turkish-Turkish conflict, and even tens of millions of armed fights, lies in the struggle for survival resources ---- land.
In the history of the previous life, in order to suppress the rebellious Hong soldiers, the two sides of the Hong soldiers were divided into two sides, and under the inducement of the Manchu government, the contradictions between the Hakka and the Turks became more and more intensified, resulting in large-scale armed fights. And the Manchu government used it again, first to help the Hakka, and then to help the natives, as an official government, it was really bad.
Now, as the ruler and manager of this land, he must not let this happen again!
And to do it, we can only separate the Hakka and Cantonese natives, but we can't separate them by force, we can only use interests, for them, the only benefit is the land!
Unconsciously, I came to Huaningli, not far to the east of the palace, where the Hakka Hall was located. When the Hakka people came to the provincial capital, half of them lived in this Hakka hall.
Lin Dashan, Hou Er, and more than a dozen Hakka people were already waiting at the gate of the hall. Seeing Wu Ruxiao respectfully leading a yellow-robed man with an ordinary appearance, but a majestic face, and a faint kind of superior momentum, everyone knew that this must be Feng Yunshan, the Holy King who now controls Liangguang.
So, Lin Dashan led all the Hakka people to hurriedly come forward to pay respects: "Hakka grass people Lin Dashan and others pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Holy King!" ”
Feng Yunshan hurriedly took two steps forward, helped Lin Dashan up, and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Lin, don't come to these false courtesies, this king also wants to thank you for leading the Hakka brothers to help quell the rebellion." ”
"This is what Hakka people should do! O Holy King! Lin Dashan suddenly knelt on the ground again, crying and bowing, so that Feng Yunshan couldn't take measures for a while.
The rest of the Hakka people had obviously discussed it a long time ago, and they also followed up and fell to their knees, just kowtowing.
"Holy King, the old man is cheeky, ask the Holy King to be gracious, revise the land policy, and give us Hakka people a way to live!"
"Oh, Brother Lin, what are you...... Really, where do you start? Feng Yunshan asked pretending not to know.
"Holy King, the old man heard earlier that the Holy King is going to distribute the land of those natives, especially the fields of the landlords and bullies, to our Hakka people, but the "Holy Country Fields and Mu System" just launched by the royal palace does not give us the content of the fields for the landless people of the Hakka family. Therefore, the old man dared to ask the Holy King for mercy, can he modify it? Lin Dashan begged, and at the end, he added: "Holy King, Hakka is willing to be your faithful spear from now on, where you say to fight, and where to fight." ”。
"Alas, Brother Lin, how can this policy be changed if it is changed? Have you ever wondered how this king can rob the land of those natives and give it to you? Feng Yunshan said in a heavy tone: "If you Hakka people have land, and after a few years, they also become natives, and suddenly new guests come and ask for your land to be distributed to them, but what? ”
Feng Yunshan's words made Lin Dashan's face darken, and he didn't bow down anymore, and stood up on his own.
Feng Yunshan knew that he was angry in his heart, this Hakka family had a straightforward personality, but if he decided that you were a friend, he would be determined to treat you as his own.
"However, if you want to get a share of the land, you can't do it!" Lin Dashan's words aroused Feng Yunshan's interest, the Hakka people are a source of soldiers, and they are brave in battle, which seems to be not bad.
As soon as he stood up, Lin Dashan, who was full of resentment, looked surprised, and hurriedly knelt down again: "Holy King, please say, only our Hakka can have a field and make cattle and horses for you, we are all willing!" ”
"That's good. This king can give you an idea, Qiongzhou Island, have you heard of it? Feng Yunshan asked.
"Qiongzhou Island? The old man has heard of it! Shengwang, do you mean to let our guests relocate to Qiongzhou Island? Lin Dashan asked suspiciously.
"What? You don't want to? Qiongzhou Island is hot in all seasons, with abundant rain, and can be harvested three times a year, but it is a treasure land for reproduction of future generations. Feng Yunshan said.
"Holy King, it's not that we don't want to, but ......" Lin Dashan hesitated for a moment and made up his mind: "It's just that our Hakka people are too poor and have no savings to withstand such a large-scale migration!" ”
"Hakka groups like our Gaoming area have migrated from Jiaying Prefecture in eastern Guangdong in the past hundred years. But the ancestors came first, and then they took refuge in the relatives of the clan, and after several generations, they slowly migrated over and multiplied to this day. Lin Dashan explained: "If you move over, it doesn't matter if you live, but you can't go without food, just when you arrive in a new place, there is no food, and a large number of people will starve to death." If you only move a small amount to the past, it doesn't do anything, and we Hakka people like to gather together, and no one wants to move away with just a few families. ”
As soon as Lin Dashan finished speaking, Feng Yunshan immediately understood. So that's the case, no wonder the Hakka people in history are all relatives and friends, it turns out that there is no food and no care.
The problem is that the problem of not having food is not too difficult for me!
"Brother Lin, this king can provide half a year's worth of food for the migration of your Hakka people. However......" Feng Yunshan sold Guanzi.
"Really? Your Highness, you are a living bodhisattva, no, you are sent by God to save us! You can rest assured, from now on, our Hakka men are your soldiers, the most loyal soldiers, and they are needed at any time. And we will definitely double the amount of food. ”
Lin Dashan was very knowledgeable, and immediately said the conditions he could provide.
However, Feng Yunshan wants more than that. "Brother Lin, in addition to these, there is also a kind of tree called rubber tree on Qiongzhou Island, I need you to help me plant a large number of trees, the more the better, I am useful." Of course, I won't ask you to do things in vain, and when the tree grows up, I will have someone teach you how to collect useful things, and the palace will pay for you. ”
"Rubber trees? No problem, Holy King, plant whatever you say! But what exactly is this rubber tree? Lin Dashan asked.
"This, now Liangguang does not have. Recently, the king will ask someone to get rubber seedlings. You can go to Qiongzhou Island first and open up the wasteland. When the time comes, the king will bring the rubber seedlings. ”
After deciding on the migration of the Hakka people, and by the way, he could also help himself plant a rubber plantation, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be a little satisfied.
Planting rubber was also something he remembered at the stroke of inspiration.
In later history, 50 years later, an overseas Chinese father and son surnamed Zeng first asked someone to bring back rubber seeds from Brazil to plant near that large area, but they were unsuccessful. Soon, however, they brought back a batch of rubber seedlings from the Malay region and planted them near Danzhou Nada, which was the beginning of rubber cultivation in China.
Rubber, on the other hand, is the basic raw material of the modern rubber industry. There are so many things to make, and what you need most are, of course, tires and airbags, as well as seals for guns, weapons, steam engines and other machines. It can be said that with rubber, a large number of things can be produced and the world will be pleasantly surprised!
As for food, it is bearable for now. However, Feng Yunshan remembered that in the past few years, especially in some prefectures and counties in Guangxi, there have been repeated locust plagues, and it is still necessary to prepare some food for disaster relief.
Feng Yunshan noticed that although there are sweet potatoes planted in Guangxi, there are still not many. In these mountainous dry lands, it is necessary to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes.
Feng Yunshan's meeting with the Hakka leader in the Hakka hall was soon regarded as honor and pride by the Hakka people, and it was spread.
As soon as Feng Yunshan returned to the palace, he heard a report from a personal guard, saying that several squires had come to visit, saying that they were representatives of the native people of Guangfu, and that they had the people's feelings to appeal to the Holy King.
Liu Shengbang was not there, and Wu Ruxiao, who followed Feng Yunshan back to the palace, prepared to go out with a large group of guards to blast the squire away: How can the Holy King be seen if you want to?
Feng Yunshan suddenly stopped Wu Ruxiao: "Brother Wu, please take trouble and invite the representative of the native people of Naguang Mansion." But the king wants to see him. ”
The first squire, but he was a local student of Nanhai County, and he came on behalf of the native people of Guangfu, but he thought that he had a meritorious reputation, so he didn't worship Feng Yunshan when he saw him, but just lowered his hand and bent down to salute, saying that he asked the Holy King not to agree to the guest's request.
"What do you ask this king not to agree to the Hakka people?" Feng Yunshan asked strangely.
"Didn't the Holy King promise the Hakka people to give them the land?" Na Sheng said: "Where are there other fields in Zhaoqing Mansion now, if they want to give them Hakka, they can only pass through the fields of our local Cantonese people. ”
"Humph! That's why you're coming to see the king? Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be angry, all cats and dogs came to question this king. However, since the local natives are so nervous, it just so happens that the food from the Hakka people who migrated is spread on them, but it is appropriate.
"Give this king a slap in the face, and beat this guy out! Next time, ask clearly and then question this king! Another person came in. Feng Yunshan shouted.
The four guards next to him immediately picked up the boy like a chicken and threw it out of the door.
changed one, but it was a middle-aged talent, with a cowering face, trembling, and kneeling on the ground as soon as he entered the door, giving Feng Yunshan a salute.
Feng Yunshan didn't bother to say, glanced at this Xiucai, and said, "If you want the Hakka people, you can also divide the land of the natives." This king can move them to the sparsely populated Qiongzhou Mansion to settle down, but is it feasible for you to pay for the food of this settlement? ”
As soon as I heard that all the Hakka people had migrated, they no longer grabbed land with the natives. Xiucai was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. Also, food has become somewhat insignificant relative to the land.
Seeing that he agreed, Feng Yunshan didn't say more, how much grain was there, and he asked the people from the Ministry of Finance to discuss with these local representatives. (To be continued.) )
