Chapter 518: 'CPPCC'
[Thank you for the 500 coins reward of 'Moxiang Charm']
Sooner or later, the giants in the court and the local officials will be closely linked, coupled with the power of capital, their interests will be aligned, and the government and business will be mixed, which is similar to the political party in Chen Ming's cognition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The combination of money and power can promote the development of that kind of thinking, and when it reaches a tipping point, the era of capital in China has completely arrived. It's just that, unlike the Western world, Chen Ming does not believe that the era of capital in China is dominated by capital, but that power should be the opposite to dominate capital. At least for the last hundred years. As for the time when the world develops into a global village, or when the power of capital is strong enough to counter power......
Ransom Chen Ming is incompetent. His political vision is not yet that far away!
The East and the West are completely different societies, the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's China, where the imperial power is supreme and suppresses everything. The power of the officials complemented the power of the emperor, and they regarded the merchants as 'fat pigs'. This is completely different from the power structure of the Western world, where the power of money is so great that the monarch has to be afraid to concede three points.
Chen Ming had a faint plan in his heart, when the domestic economy and politics developed to a certain point, he really needed a 'CPPCC'. Do you want to give everyone a place and space to communicate and trade with each other privately?
When the mountain of repression shakes overhead, there is no lower limit to the shame that has risen within China. But when a great god sits firmly above his head, the Chinese are not unable to compromise with each other. The difference between this and party struggle lies only in whether there is an absolute force at the top to suppress it. In that case, the 'partisanship' of these people will no longer be purely for their own interests, but to a large extent serve the God above their heads.
Of course, this is still a very immature 'whim' by Chen Ming!
……
For Kang Mazi, after signing the Treaty of Nebuchu with Lao Maozi, Russia's troubles could be put aside. He can look at the country and play his 'Emperor of the Ages'. At that time, it is difficult to say whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty's perception of Sakhalin was 'true', and the exchanges between the two sides were infinitely close to zero. Tsarist Russia did not stop its offensive at the end of the treaty, and since the Manchus had no formal garrison on Sakhalin, their expeditionary force (consisting of soldiers and prisoners) soon attacked the northern tip of Sakhalin, killing the Hezhe inhabitants, building camps, and mining coal.
However, due to the difficult transportation of this era, Lao Maozi's control of Sakhalin Island was always limited to the northern region, and their number was too small, so few that they could only defend a few important places, and they could only look at the south, which was warmer and more suitable for life than the north, and their eyes were red with envy.
In the history of the original time and space, the Russians would continue to endure for thirty or forty years, and then in the first decade after entering the 19th century, they launched an eight-year harassment and aggression against Japan, which is known in Japanese history as the "Eight Years of the Northern Korko". But the number of Lao Maozi is still too small, and the final result can only be nothing.
And now, with the landing of the Fu Han army in Da Po Town, with the arrival of subsequent immigrants and marines, the landing of the Fu Han army and the arrival of the marines completely swept the entire Sakhalin Island in only one month. Several strongholds of the Russians were all located by the sea, Oja, Bogibi, Nogliki......
They were cleaned up by the sailors and marines of the Fu Han Army who came by boat. Under the attack of the absolute superiority of the troops and firepower of the Fu Han army, they were crushed like a bedbug.
The coolies rescued from those strongholds were basically indigenous to Sakhalin, and they became the best foundation for the Fu Han army to run Sakhalin. These natives of Sakhalin were inherently close to China, which rescued them from the sea of suffering, and they and the tribes behind them provided the initial help for the Fu Han army to take root and sprout on Sakhalin.
Then the team of the Fu Han Army divided into a group of people and drove non-stop to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, Temple Street!
More than two months have passed, and the rule on Sakhalin, the Fuhan army does not dare to say that it is deeper than the Russians and Japanese, but it will not be lower than them.
In the course of more than two months, they built as many harbor batteries as possible, widened the wharf area, and built sturdy houses.
The court did not have the slightest economic demand for this, so don't look at the Fu Han army unceremoniously swept away everything Japanese on Sakhalin, but in the following time, the Japanese were even able to come to Sakhalin to trade. It's just that the rules to be observed are no longer the rules of the Matsumae Domain, but the rules of China!
For more than two months, the Fu Han army used food and materials to lure the local natives to level the land and dig coal mines, and it would be a tragedy for the Chinese army who had just set foot in the area to stock up on Sakhalin's harsh and long winters if they did not stock up enough fuel. Moreover, they also had to send a large number of materials to Temple Street, which was personally led by Deng Yun, the commander of the First Marine Brigade of the Marine Division, and after a reinforced battalion of troops seized Temple Street, they began to attack from all sides, and the captured prisoners were together with the prisoners of Temple Street, and they were nervously building a city defense-style fortification.
The roaring cannons and muskets, as well as the shouts of killing, have disappeared from the banks of the Heilongjiang River for a long, long time. More than a month has passed......
The coarse timber in the surrounding area is cut down the river and slipped downstream to the timber processing dock, where the finished timber is hauled onto the construction site using a few simple rough wagons. Everything is polished by manpower!
The large-scale use of these coarse plains greatly alleviated the dilemma of insufficient tiles and strongly supported the construction of the site. As of the beginning of this month, the city wall of this place, named 'Xinjiangkou', has been built more than 800 meters long, and the overall city defense construction is very close to completion, and this is already the size of a small town.
As for the bricks and cement that were brought in from the rear, they were all used to build important facilities such as warehouses, powder magazines, and artillery forts. But they were not rich enough to build walls and houses, and now even the houses where the soldiers lived were made of wood.
Before Deng Yun came here, he had been informed by the above that it was too cold in winter here in Xinjiangkou, and the soldiers of the 1st Marine Brigade had been transferred to the present, and most of them were from Hebei in Shandong, although they were more cold-tolerant than the southern troops, but it was impossible to adapt to them without a period of suffering.
How cold is the winter in North China? How cold is the winter here? That's not comparable.
So this year's task is only to block the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, build a strong castle in this critical place, and firmly defend it. And the rest of the things are free to play on the premise of completing this basic task.
The sudden knocking of a nail from Heilongjiang stimulated not only the remnants of the Manchus, but also the Russians on the other side, although it took a long time to complete the transmission of information and the build-up of troops, but these people, especially the latter, had long since adapted to the bitter cold of the winter here, and they would probably attack here in the winter.
Although Deng Yun felt that it was impossible to defeat the enemy with a battalion of troops under his command, just like what was informed from above, no matter how much Deng Yun wanted to play freely, he could only complete the basic task first. It has been more than a month since the capture of Temple Street, and the large forces of the Manchus and Russians are still far away, and Deng Yun has only made two sweeps of the surrounding area, and the harvest is not much. It can only be said that the tribes around Temple Street have been dispersed.
In two months at most, the temperature will cool down and it will snow. Deng Yun must give priority to building the city barriers.
The construction of houses in the city did not fall, which was a large amount of work, and it was impossible to complete it with the captives that Deng Yun had captured in Temple Street and the surrounding areas. Sakhalin also brought in a number of North Koreans.
It was only in a small period of more than a month that a large number of Koreans and a total of 3,000 or 400 prisoners were able to complete the construction of not only the lodging houses, but also the construction of warehouses, medical offices, arsenals, and other facilities.
Although the construction of the new Jiangkou is still far from being completely completed, several neat rows of soldiers' dormitories, headquarters, medical offices, warehouses and other facilities are divided into four areas by a cross intersecting Malu, which is simple and tidy. Of course, every part of these houses is now full of people, but as winter comes, these Korean laborers and prisoners of war will be sent to Sakhalin, and the stronghold of Xinjiangkou will only be garrisoned by more than 500 Han soldiers, which will be much more relaxed.
Although these Koreans were above the status of prisoners of war, their daily work was extremely heavy. These days, they are either digging ditches, burying underground drainage pipes, processing timber at the timber processing docks, carrying heavy wooden pillars to build walls and dormitories, or building warehouses, in short, there is not a moment of leisure. I don't know how many nights these people can sleep with their eyes closed, and there have been sudden deaths on the land, which shows the hardships of their work.
But these North Koreans have no complaints, not a single one of them complains. Because they had a harder time on the Korean Peninsula before.
Destitute in the war, they are not only often hungry, but their fragile lives are also in danger.
After being accepted by Chen Han, although their daily work was very hard, they were well fed, warmly dressed, and slept well, and Chen Han did not blindly oppress them, and there was a day off every ten days for the laborers to relax. Besides, Chen Han may have promised that when they return from Xinjiangkou, the Lords will arrange wives for them, and maybe cheap children, and they will form a new home anyway, with a house and farmland.
Sakhalin's climate is extreme, with wheat, soybeans, potatoes, and so on, and there are abundant fishery resources, and even if you have to pay heavy taxes for the first five years, you have to share it with the garrison, but after five years everything is theirs. At that time, they only need to pay a small agricultural tax, which is less than 10% of the total harvest, and they can even obtain the nationality of the upper country.
For many North Korean peasants who did not have any land of their own before the upheaval, this is a blessing from heaven.
Oja, one of the northernmost cities of Sakhalin, in a military hostel.
Li Tai got up in the morning and punched a box, his fists and feet were sharp, the tiger was vigorous, a set of punches came down, and then he took a shower with well water, which was called a refreshment.
Li Tai strode out of the door of the guest house in a military uniform. He didn't want to eat breakfast at the guest house, the food here tasted exactly the same as the food in the army, and Li Tae wanted to go to the North Korean restaurant next to the guest house to eat. Not all North Koreans on Sakhalin are laborers, and a few have 'escaped' from North Korea at great expense. The identity of the latter is that of a free man.
It's just that the number of such people is too small compared to the number of laborers, and the number of people who will follow the Han army to Sakhalin is even smaller.
This North Korean restaurant is small, and in fact the guest house is not large, but it is just a few small farmhouse courtyards connected together. There are two rooms in front of the restaurant, and a firewood room, bedroom, kitchen, storage room and pigsty at the back, but they are very clean.
If Li Tai hadn't come to Oja, he wouldn't have known that there were already merchants running to open a store at this time. At the moment, the three people who greeted this shop were all for help, so their master would not come to the small place of Oja. In addition to opening a restaurant, this small shop also collects wild goods, but is it really profitable to open a store in Oja? Don't say that Li Tai thinks it's strange, even the shopkeeper and the two apprentices are also ignorant, and they can't understand what their master means. They can more or less speak Chinese, the shopkeeper speaks the best, and can also write a decent Chinese character, so he thinks he is a reader.
Li Tai was not interested in discovering anything, since this small shop could be opened next to the guest house, then there was absolutely no problem with 'reliability', in that case, he took care of it.
Li Tai is only here to eat, not to handle the case.
A bowl of Korean cold noodles, a fried dumpling, the dumplings are still fish. A plate of kimchi, a bowl of fish miso soup. As long as it's meat, it's fish. In the words of the shopkeeper, the three pigs raised in the backyard don't know if they can survive this winter. It's really cold in this place, and you have to wear double clothes in the summer, just like autumn in North Korea.
During Li Tai's meal, there was no second customer in the store, no wonder the portions of this restaurant would be so sufficient, it is estimated that few people will come to eat a day.
The three people in the store looked at Li Tai with a sense of admiration and envy in their eyes, they envied the military uniform on Li Tai's body, and also envied the strong combat effectiveness represented by this military uniform.
Just last month, Qing troops stationed in Chungcheong-do launched a major offensive against Jeolla Province, connecting Jeonju, Gwangju, and Naju, and driving the Joseon king, who was about to hold the enthronement ceremony, to Jindo. This is already very sad, but the saddest thing is the scene that happened on Jindo Island afterwards - the king of Joseon, Yi Hao, who had just been canonized by China for a few months, died, and died for no apparent reason.
The three people in the store only know this bit of news now, and they still don't know anything about how the king of Joseon died and who the murderer is. This place in Oja is so remote!
Just when Li Tai was about to finish eating, the shopkeeper finally had the courage to ask Li Tai's intention, he had opened a shop here for a month, this guest house was as deserted as his small shop, and Li Tai was the first person to come out of the guest house and come to him to eat.
"Those from the new Eguta, come and see the goods." Li Tai didn't hide it, there was nothing to hide about it, he would go back to Xinjiangkou the day after tomorrow at most, and go back with the fourth batch of ships transporting supplies to Xinjiangkou, and then the fifth batch of ships transporting supplies to Xinjiangkou would need most of the warehouses to be filled with coal. Oja is home to the largest known coal mine on Sakhalin, and the quality is quite good. And in the outer northeast for the winter, it is absolutely indispensable to do without coal.
"From Edato?" As soon as Li Tai reported to his home, the three of them all showed a look of sudden realization.
Those three words are thunderous for any Korean, because Xinjiangkou was the bridgehead for the Fu Han army to invade the outer northeastern land. Chen Ming could not use too many troops in the outer northeast, first, because the inconvenience of the climate, temperature difference, terrain, and so on really greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the army, and second, it was to better perfunctory the Koreans.
Oh, if you Chen Han can use tens of thousands of troops to fight in the Outer Northeast, there is no reason why you can't use more troops in North Korea?
Therefore, in the entire Sakhalin Island and the outer northeast, the Fu Han Army invested only one marine regiment of ground troops. In Xinjiangkou, more than 500 people are concentrated, and the strength of the Marine Corps at the regimental level is not as strong as that of an army regiment, especially under the situation of the large-scale reorganization of the Marine Division, whether it is a battalion, a regiment, or a brigade, the strength has shrunk somewhat.
At present, there are only 400 men in a battalion of the Marine Corps, and Deng Yun has brought a reinforced battalion of more than 500 people, which is close to half of the strength of a regiment. For some Korean 'patriots', there is a symbolic special meaning, that is the new battlefield opened up by the Fu Han army behind the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as the Fu Han army grows a little bigger in the outer northeast, it will always attract the attention of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
What happened to Li Tai was just a ripple blown by the breeze, and he didn't remember it at all.
Walking out of the hotel, Li Tai went straight to Oha's power center, the Military Management Bureau. The military administration, which is gradually disappearing on the mainland, must exist in these places.
It didn't take long for the whole of Oja to be small, if you don't count the mining area.
When he arrived at the Military Management Bureau, Li Tae showed his documents, and then soon arrived at the list of goods: North Korean Labor Team No. 5, 475 people; 6,000 iron bars and bars of various types; cement, 1500 bags; 300 bags of rice and wheat, 200 bags of potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, etc. Canned food, salted fish, bacon, paper bullets, grenades, gunpowder, hardware, ......
Li Tai looked at the list and smiled with satisfaction. Food, munitions, labor, materials, the things that are most lacking in the new Jiangkou now are all available. (To be continued.) )
