Chapter 569 Epilogue of 1798 (2) Reserve Base for Emergency Supplies
This kind of alienation was immediately felt by the cabinet ministers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info then thought about bringing the Intelligence Division into the normal regulatory system to prevent it from becoming bigger. Except for Nan Feng and Liu Weiguo, who did not express their opinions, the other ministers all agreed to this proposal.
Seeing that the meritorious service was not successful, he was beaten by the cabinet. Liao Qing also regretted it.
It's a pity that he has no say in a proposal at this level of minister. So we can only be like a lamb to the slaughter, waiting for the cabinet to make a decision.
Fortunately, Yang Chongqi is angry, and the benefits and losses that should be there can still be clearly distinguished. Therefore, only within the Intelligence Division, a special supervision and inspection department was established. The main task is to ensure that the staff of the Intelligence Division earnestly implement the rules and regulations of the Intelligence Division.
Although the rank is lower than that of the director, it has the privilege of reporting violations to the president and the cabinet, stating the history of the case, and handling opinions.
The original special status is still maintained.
After these trivial matters were carried out smoothly, the refugees stranded in Cochin Province also returned home after the reconciliation was reached.
In the end, it is difficult to leave the homeland!
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, these Qing people, who valued the most local feelings, would not leave their hometowns. So when he heard the news of the end of the war, he hurried home.
But this is a minority after all!
A large number of refugees are still staying in camps in Cochin Province, waiting for the Ming Dynasty to send them elsewhere for resettlement.
It was also during the period of living in the refugee camp that they received a certain amount of new ideas from the Ming Dynasty. I also know a lot about the benevolent government of the Ming Dynasty. Especially Daming's arrangement on the land made them very excited.
So for a better life, I'd rather stay in Daming.
For this polarized phenomenon, Daming neither persuaded nor retained. Because at this stage, Daming can't afford to support so many people. Although it is possible to provide these refugees with cash-for-work, there are so many people that it is very difficult to manage.
This, coupled with the slow pace of screening, has led to a number of black sheep corrupting the rules of practice in the camps.
This is not because the camp staff is inadequate, but because there are not enough people. As of September, Cochin Province has received nearly 1.83 million immigrants. Among them, more than 400,000 have been resettled overseas.
Converted by sword techniques, there are still more than one million people stranded in the refugee camps.
You must know that there were only about 2,000 people in charge of refugee work. Later, the Ming Dynasty transferred more than 2,000 administrative personnel with rich work experience from various administrative provinces. But when it comes to the fullest, there are still no more than 5,000 people.
It is still difficult to put them in charge of more than a million refugees.
Thanks to the reconciliation between the White Lotus Sect and the Qing court, progress was relatively rapid. Otherwise, the number of refugees entering Cochin Province will continue to rise.
It is this lack of manpower that has caused the management of refugee camps to be chaotic for a long time. Many scheming and sinister thieves even secretly formed gangs in refugee camps to steal food and clothing from other refugees.
Although it is impossible to completely eradicate it.
But as long as one case is found, Daming will severely punish it.
For this reason, the Ministry of National Defense has specially transferred a brigade of troops from Nanyang to the refugee camp to maintain law and order.
The so-called troubled times use heavy codes!
In the case of refugee camps, only a sufficiently intimidating force can make people obey the law. Therefore, the army will shoot the refugees who commit crimes. The corpse should also be hung in a more conspicuous place to set an example for the monkeys.
Despite this practice, it is more bloody. But the effect is very obvious. The crime rate in the refugee camps, like snowfall in June, has plummeted. Management is also relatively twice as convenient.
Just solving this problem is still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
This is because refugees form gangs and rob other refugees of food and clothing. In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of materials.
But this problem is also a difficult problem that plagues Daming.
Not to mention the amount of financial expenditure required to distribute supplies to these million refugees free of charge. Let's just say that the size of so many people should be such a big demand gap.
At this stage, Daming is also experiencing a shortage of materials. The food sent to the refugees was still squeezed out by the Ming Dynasty from the people.
It is difficult to ensure that the refugees do not starve to death, let alone have enough to eat.
It is also the founding of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and it has never accepted so many refugees in such a short time. At the beginning, it was inevitable to be in a hurry. Coupled with the rebellion before the Ming Dynasty, the immigration work was not supported effectively.
This made the work of refugees in Cochin Province more and more difficult.
But blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand!
With this experience, Daming also has certain measures to deal with the refugee wave in the future.
But there is no doubt that the food issue is still a top priority.
The plan for the reserve base for emergency supplies has entered the desk of the cabinet.
After some detailed research, the Ming Dynasty officially announced this plan at the end of 98 years. In the four major military regions, two or three emergency material reserve bases will be set up. Fortunately, in the event of a major disaster, the urgent need for coal burning is solved.
Among them, Jiaozhi Province has become one of the emergency material reserve bases of the Nanyang Military Region.
After all, the status of Jiaozhi Province determines that it is destined to become a bridgehead for Qing immigrants to enter the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the establishment of an emergency material reserve base here follows the principle of proximity and facilitates the response.
As for external threats, they are completely ignored.
Because the garrison of Cochin Province has always maintained a higher level than other provinces in Nanyang. Even the province of Ceylon can only be ranked second.
In addition, in order to let down the vigilance of the White Lotus Sect, the Qing court reduced the garrisons in Yunnan Province and Guangxi Province in half on the original basis. This is still on the surface, in fact, these two provinces, there are not many regular garrisons at all.
The original Green Battalion soldiers were basically under the blows of the White Lotus Sect and suffered heavy losses. Many barracks can't even form a formed army.
Now those who are replacing them to protect the peace of the place are all the village warriors who have expanded their recruitment. Although they all have a strong sense of blood, they have no formal military training. When a war starts, it is like gathering a crowd to fight.
It is most appropriate to describe it as a rabble.
The strong Ming army will naturally not be afraid of these villagers.
In order to show goodwill, He Shen also privately instructed the border garrisons of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces to retreat 20 miles.
This gesture can be regarded as a good sale for Daming.
However, as a developed commodity economy, the Ming Dynasty is most concerned about the market rather than land.
Therefore, He Shen arranged his cronies to be on an errand in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, and behind his back, he specially explained to them and cooperated with the Ming Dynasty to trade.
With a population of more than 300 million in the Qing Dynasty, the market is undoubtedly vast. The development of the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty can also be maximized.
