Chapter 194: Burmese Han Chinese
In Lushun, the Yue army in the city retreated one after another, handing over their weapons to the East China Army outside the city, but they did not surrender, but retreated.
But weapons can't be left!
When the people of Lushun got up early in the morning, they saw the Yue army retreating outside the city, and soon they saw the East China Army with the thunderous battle flag entering Lushun.
When people saw the East China Army entering the city, there were sudden earth-shattering cheers in the city.
"The Oriental devil is gone."
"The Oriental devil is gone!"
It's been 10 years! Since the Russo-Russian War in 1905, Lushun has been occupied by the Russians for ten years, and before that it was occupied by Tsarist Russia.
The people in Arthur City hadn't seen the [***] team for many years, and what they saw were all soldiers who robbed from time to time.
The first thing the East China Army did when it marched into Lushun that day was to open a warehouse and release grain, and each person who came to register received a bag of 15 kilograms of grain, and each person received a bag. At the same time, there is also the receipt of refined salt, which is a free supply material for every citizen under the rule of the East China political axe.
A group of reporters rushed into Lushun and interviewed everywhere in Lushun.
"Auntie, are you happy?"
"Happy, the little devil is gone, everyone is happy."
"What is your initial impression of the East China Autonomous Axe?" The reporter asked again.
"They must all be a group of good officials, otherwise there would have been no such good thing." The eldest lady said with a smile, "My family of five received one hundred and fifty catties of grain, half rice and half noodles. ”
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Reporter Zhang Wenhan walked around Lushun City and found that the people in the city quickly trusted the political axe, because the political axe distributed food and salt, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs also had cotton jackets.
This padded jacket can be seen in all provinces under the jurisdiction of the East China political axe, which is a very single style of padded jacket, only in practicality, warmth.
In the provinces of East China, many people do not wear this kind of cotton jacket, but there are still many people who are unwilling to buy new clothes, and they wear this kind of cotton jacket in winter, and they are not afraid of being ashamed when they go out, after all, five or six years ago, people didn't even have to wear such a jacket, so in the provinces of East China, even Hangzhou, you can see a lot of people wearing this kind of cotton jacket, and no one laughs at them.
Zhang Wenhan knows that the Ministry of Civil Affairs' finances are very abundant this year, and they are simply abundant to the extreme, which is one billion yuan of funds! With it, on average, each Chinese can get more than two yuan.
But not everyone needs help, so those in need can get more help.
Moreover, this fund is used to implement the policy of 'zero cold' and 'zero hunger', so as to completely solve the problem of food and clothing in society.
The thought of this policy is exciting.
China was originally a backward country, but in just a few years, China has begun to comprehensively solve the problem of food and clothing, which is simply a miracle.
Zhang Wenhan's focus here is to report on the implementation of these policies, and this year's financial budgets of various departments are very generous, and they are also the focus of media supervision.
It has become a system for the media to supervise the public sector, and as journalists, they are paid by the central government, and their task is to supervise the department.
While supervising, it is also necessary to provide the newspaper with blockbuster news.
After the people of Lushun got the grain, cotton jackets, and salt of the political axe, their initial understanding of the political axe in East China was very good, and at the same time, because they had to be registered on the throne to receive these things, which was also to avoid repeated collection, so there were basically no black households.
Zhang Wenhan took some photos in Lushun with his camera, and then sent them back as quickly as possible. Then take the train inland to the mainland.
This year, East China's political axe has annexed four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Yunnan in a row, and one Lushun is not enough to explain the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and only by going to these provinces can the Ministry of Civil Affairs be properly supervised.
He is the supervising reporter appointed by the political axe, and he has a certain responsibility. He is responsible for an area and provides long-term coverage of the overseen projects in the area. If there is a problem and the reporter may know but not respond, it will be held accountable. Designated reporters like him are generally well paid, and they are paid by political axes, and they can apply for force protection in the army, etc., and they can not be afraid of all kinds of threats of force.
After arriving in Hankou by train, Zhang Wenhan learned that he had been assigned to the Yunnan region, and it was Lijiang in the northwest of Yunnan.
The transportation is inconvenient, and the communication is not convenient, but the allowance is very high, and there is an additional allowance of three yuan a month to Lijiang, and it is not a high-consumption area, so Zhang Wenhan can save a lot of money in a year, which makes Zhang Wenhan very happy.
I hurried all the way and arrived in Lijiang on February 1st, although Lijiang is a remote place, but this year still looks very festive.
Lijiang local government axe is a group of grassroots civil servants who have just been transferred, all of whom are relatively young, the oldest of whom is only in his thirties, and many of them are students who have just graduated from school for a year or two.
These students are full of energy, and after some time of training at the grassroots level, they came to Lijiang and soon were full of ambition to do a big job.
Develop people's livelihood! Develop the economy! Protect the environment!
However, this year's Spring Festival can not be sloppy, this year China defeated the Yueben, the national army on the battlefield to show its might, East China political axe is to receive nearly 700 million taels of silver indemnity.
With so many good things added together, the New Year is naturally going to be lively.
The county magistrate of Lijiang County is called Sun Youxiu, 25 years old, who was the first batch of students when East China University was first established in Xishan, and was the same age as the chairman of the committee, and after several years of training at the grassroots level, he was transferred to Yunnan to serve as the county magistrate. Moreover, the more remote and backward the area, the easier it is to make political achievements.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming in two days, he personally sat outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs to distribute grain, cotton clothes, and salt to the people in Lijiang area.
There is no problem in the city, the problem is the distribution points in the countryside, as soon as Zhang Wenhan arrived, Sun Youxiu took him to the countryside to interview the situation.
Along the way, the people I met on the side of the road would sometimes kneel on the ground.
In modern times, the provinces are like this, the people kneel immediately when they see the officials, and at the same time, the officials can also forcibly recruit farmers to pick up gifts and other things for them, and they don't have to pay wages, and they are recruited by the officials, which can only consider themselves unlucky.
However, there are still many people who don't kneel when they see Sun Youxiu, and many people in the countryside know that they don't have to kneel when they see officials now.
"County magistrate, it's not good, it's not good." Suddenly, a political axe officer riding a motorcycle in front saw Sun Youxiu's group of people, and immediately jumped out of the car and shouted.
"What's going on?" Sun Youxiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was the personnel of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who were dispatched below, could it be that they had some conflict with the people? I couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know how, but suddenly a lot of people came from Myanmar, and they had to receive grain and salt, at least thousands, and they said that there were thousands of them in the back, and we didn't have enough food."
"What! From Myanmar? Sun Youxiu was surprised again: "Why did they Burmese come to us to receive food?" ”
"No, no, county magistrates, they are Han Chinese in Burma, and they have been loyal to China for generations." The civil servant hurriedly explained, and after Sun Youxiu accepted it, his face turned better, and he nodded: "It turned out to be compatriots from Myanmar, so let's send them food as well!" ”
"County magistrate, is this appropriate?" Chen Jiadi, the secretary general on one side, whispered, "It doesn't say that it will give relief to foreign countries. ”
"Yes, the above will not be investigated." As a graduate of East China University, Sun Youxiu is well aware of the chairman's thinking in this regard, and said: "It is precisely that there are no regulations above, so it will not be investigated." We are distributing grain to our Burmese compatriots, and it is not that we are corrupt, so what are we afraid of. ”
Chen Jiadi opened his mouth and didn't speak.
Sun Youxiu continued: "And these Burmese compatriots come from afar, so they can't let their families run for nothing!" In addition, the status of these Burmese compatriots is somewhat special, and we need to find out their living conditions as soon as possible and report any difficulties to them. ”
…… The dust of war has settled, and the festive Spring Festival has arrived.
During the Spring Festival this year, the people in all provinces had no obstacle to food and clothing, and as long as they had the strength, they had earned a lot of money in the past year, and the national war was won. Therefore, this year's Spring Festival is destined to be extremely lively.
In order to celebrate this year's Spring Festival, many people have been greatly stimulated to spend**, and even those who are usually very frugal have made an exception and become generous.
Naturally, the merchants are not ambiguous, meticulously preparing all kinds of New Year's goods at the end of this year, and the political axe department has the most stringent spot checks at the end of the year, especially food safety testing.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, a small newspaper called "New Wind News" published a news that Xia Jun couldn't take his eyes off.
This news was sent back by Zhang Wenhan, a reporter from New Frontier News, in Lijiang, and it was a report about the Han people in Myanmar who came to receive relief.
This reminded Xia Jun of the Kokang people in Myanmar in later generations, the Kokang people are also Han people, and the later Myanmar political axes adopted a policy of anti-Chinese people, so they could only be renamed the Kokang people, and in order to retain the Chinese language and Chinese characters, they could only be renamed Kokang language and Kokang language.
Kokang was armed in later generations and has been in conflict with the Burmese political axe for many years. Later, the Burmese political axe assaulted Kokang, and the Chinese border army did not even make a move, which is really regrettable.
The Han Chinese in the Kokang region were formed in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Southern Ming Emperor fled to Burma and was captured by Wu Sangui, but a considerable number of Han Chinese remained in Burma, including Li Dingguo, who continued to resist the Qing Dynasty.
These Han Chinese survived tenaciously in northern Burma, and later the Han Chinese ruled the Burmese according to the Burmese Tusi method, and after the local Burmese people were sinicized, northern Myanmar gradually became occupied by the Han Chinese.
At this time, Myanmar was under British colonial rule, and the Han people in the Kokang region were also included in the British colonial scope, which attracted Xia Jun's great attention.
Myanmar is a good place, and if China and Myanmar figure it out, then there will be an extra line of communication, and you don't have to go through the Strait of Malacca.
This strait is not under the control of China at this time!
It is certainly not good for China to directly attack Burma, after all, this is the territory of the British, but if it is the Han people within the scope of British rule, this surname is different.
