Chapter 16: Population Snatching
Tan Feng organized all the Han and Mongols under his command, and some of the Mongols were responsible for serving as the Han Association Army and assisting them in the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As for the other Mongols, they are also grouped up to do things. Tan Feng ordered that in the future, anyone who captured the Mongols could not be executed casually. On the one hand, it was because of the fact that the Mongols were divided in Huairou and did not allow the Mongols to resist desperately. Because if the Mongols are really forced to jump over the wall, it will not be good for Tan Feng.
On the other hand, these Mongolians are also human resources, especially for herding or raising horses, which are very good human resources. Tan Feng's subordinates do not lack any wealth, but they lack the most human resources. Manpower is the most fundamental, although they are Mongols, they can also use it, there is no need to slaughter casually, so it is harmful to others and not to themselves, there is no need to do such stupid things. Thousands of Mongols were collected by Tan Feng for effective management, but Tan Feng had to do something else next.
"Next, we are going to go to Liaodong to loot the population, especially from Manchuria, especially the Han Chinese. We must try to bring in all the Han Chinese in Manchuria so that we can have enough population! Tan Feng said.
"Are there many Han people in Liaodong?" Wang Jingwen asked strangely.
Tan Feng nodded and said: "Actually, the Han people in the Northeast say a lot and say a lot. In fact, as far as I know, many years ago, the Kangxi period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty even made a provision that not only did not prevent the Han people from going to the northeast, but still supported the Han people. For a time, the Manchu Kangxi even stipulated that if 500 people could be recruited to the northeast, civil officials could grant the status of prefects, and military attaches could grant garrison status. Although this policy was later abolished, it did not prohibit Han Chinese from going there. ”
Tan Feng was born in Inner Mongolia and later joined the army in Northeast China, so he still has a certain understanding of the history of Northeast China. Many people may think that there were not many Han Chinese in Northeast China in the early and middle Qing Dynasty, but in fact, on the contrary, the Han people in the early and middle Qing Dynasty were the vast majority of Northeast China.
As early as the Kangxi period, as Tan Feng said, in order to develop the Northeast, Kangxi once had a policy that if 500 Han people were recruited to go to the Northeast, they could be awarded the official position of county governor or garrison. Later, although this policy was abolished, it was changed to become that Han people who wanted to go to the Northeast had to apply to the government, nominally limiting the number of Han people in the Northeast.
In fact, before Qianlong, the "policy" of restricting Han people from going to the Northeast was all thunder and rain. Anyone who wants to apply to go to the Northeast will actually approve it most of the time, and even a little bit of encouragement in the open.
It was during the Qianlong period that Han Chinese were really forbidden to go to the Northeast. At the beginning, the reason given by Qianlong was that he was afraid that the Han people would assimilate the Manchus in the northeast. Because as early as the Yongzheng period, there were hundreds of thousands of Han people in the Northeast, and the specific number cannot be accurately calculated. However, there are actually hundreds of thousands of Han people, and Qianlong is worried that too many people will cause the Northeast Manchus to be assimilated, so he will ban it. The so-called protection of ginseng and pearl production is not really meaningful, but to protect the national characteristics of the Manchu people from assimilation.
It can be said that in fact, before Qianlong, the policy of closing the Northeast was not strictly implemented by the Manchus, on the contrary, it was as loose as the belt of a prostitute's trousers, with thunder and rain, nominally prohibited, but in fact secretly half encouraged. Tan Feng knew that there were Han people in the Northeast, even hundreds of thousands, although these numbers were nothing compared to China's population of almost 200 million or more, but if these Han people could be used together, it would be enough to lay the foundation.
"We immediately set out to the northeast to bring those Han people over. This guarantees that we can go with a larger population and develop more armed forces! Tan Feng said.
Wang Jingwen immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, I'll go and prepare immediately." ”
Soon, hundreds of cavalry under Tan Feng were also assembled, among which the Han cavalry Tan Feng planned to take out a company, leaving a company to guard the base here to avoid the Mongols inside the base. Anyway, Tan Feng was not worried that these people would betray, these people were all slaves of the Mongols before, and if they betrayed, they would not end well. As for Tan Feng, who also took three platoons of Han Xie's army, these Mongols were the main force responsible for really robbing the population.
"When the time comes, let those Mongols go to rob the population, and we Han people should not be easily dispersed, understand? But you must tell the Mongols not to kill people easily, if you kill people casually, then I will kill him too! Tan Feng said.
Tan Feng didn't let the Han cavalry disperse and rob the population, in fact, there was a reason. Because these Han cavalry have to fight in groups to exert their power, if they are dispersed, isn't this dying? The scattered Han cavalry could not be the opponent of the cavalry of other nationalities, and even the Eight Banners could not be defeated. Therefore, the Han cavalry could not be dispersed, and as the most important reserve, they were ready to deal with all kinds of possible dangers.
There is another aspect, that is, it can be used as a Mongol to do the things of sinners, and when the Han people come out to appease the Han people who are forced to plunder. Let these Han allied troops do the looting, and then those Han people who have been looted and captured will also hate the Mongols. At this time, Tan Feng, who is also a Han Chinese, came forward, which can play a role in appeasing and deepen "goodwill".
This set is actually the traditional method of singing red face and white face, letting those Han Association Army Mongols under his command be white-faced bad guys and forcibly kidnap those Han people in the northeast. Then Tan Feng and these Han people came out again to be red-faced good people, so that they felt the enthusiasm of their compatriots, which is a very good method. In fact, this was also learned by Tan Feng from the battalion commander and instructor of his cavalry battalion back then, these two partners are experts in playing this set, the battalion commander sings white face, the instructor sings red face, and finally those recruits are also recruited.
Tan Feng naturally learned and sold now, and hurriedly used this method to use these Han people in the northeast.
"We are ready to go, remember not to get out the name of our Han Guangfu Army, we don't want to go out as the Han Guangfu Army! Let's not erect the banner too large-scale, anyway, the Mongolian region will treat us as Han horse thieves, which is actually good. Tan Feng said.
Wang Jingwen said: "Do you mean to say that you will build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king?" ”
"That's right, my lady knight is really very smart! Looks like I'm going to reward you well tonight! Tan Feng said.
Hearing the ambiguous word "reward", Wang Jingwen, a female knight who was a beginner, also blushed, but she was a little nervous in her heart, after all, she was also a little bit of a novice person.
