In 1907, that is, the thirty-third year of Guangxu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In May, the revolutionary party, armed with a large number of weapons and ammunition, launched an uprising in Huanggang, as in history.

Although the uprising failed in the end, the impact of the uprising was far greater than in history.

At one point, the rebel army occupied the prefect's yamen and occupied the Huanggang arsenal, seizing a large amount of munitions.

If it weren't for the Lianghu Governor's Palace, the first time to dispatch a new army to surround Huang Gangcheng. In the end, most of the revolutionaries were eliminated with heavy machine guns and artillery, and the remaining rebel army was routed, and finally the uprising was finally extinguished, and the flames of the uprising were likely to burn directly throughout Huanggang and even spread to the whole of Hubei.

Because the speed of the rebel army to deliver the news was too slow, it was far less than that of the Hubei New Army.

After the uprising in Huanggang, revolutionaries floating all over Hubei, especially in Wuchang, prepared to respond and expand the scale of the uprising.

However, before they could act, the Huanggang uprising was extinguished by the Hubei New Army.

The Governor of Lianghu, who had received the information in advance, immediately sent a new army to arrest the revolutionaries in Wuchang who had not yet had time to riot.

Although this uprising caused heavy losses to the revolutionary party, this uprising with great influence made many people in the Qing Dynasty aware of the existence of the revolutionary party, and allowed more enthusiastic young people to devote themselves to the revolutionary cause.

In addition, this failed uprising also gave the imperial court its first glimpse of the destructive power of the revolutionary party.

The rebel army of several hundred people once occupied a county seat where the prefect's yamen was located, and also killed the prefect and the county commander.

If the rebel army is not a few hundred, but a few thousand, will the governor of a province be taken by the rebel army?

The imperial court, which was taken aback, immediately issued an order to several feudal officials in the south, asking them to strictly investigate the revolutionary parties in the territory and prevent any further uprisings in the Qing Dynasty that overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the panic in the south, the north, especially the three northeastern provinces, is much calmer.

Why do you get enough soldiers, and in order to develop the Northeast as much as possible, and get more resources from the Northeast?

Yuan Shikai went directly to the imperial court and immigrated millions of people from Hebei, Shaanxi and other provinces to the three eastern provinces for large-scale development.

As the governor of the three eastern provinces, Xu Shichang's ability is beyond doubt.

From the first batch of immigrants entering Fengtian Province, Xu Shichang began to organize immigrants to reclaim fertile land.

When it was time for spring ploughing in the northeast, Xu Shichang actually cultivated four or five million mu of fertile land in Fengtian and Jilin provinces to ensure that every immigrant who entered and exited the customs had land to be heavy.

While the two provinces of Fengtian and Jilin were busy clearing wasteland, dozens of county towns in eastern Liaodong controlled by the Liaodong Army were busy building infrastructure.

Widen pipelines and build water conservancy to prepare for the next spring ploughing.

At the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, Huang Xingzheng, who rarely came to the headquarters, reported to Yang Xingguo with a smile on his face the preparations for spring plowing in dozens of counties in eastern Liaodong.

"Commander, I have just received the latest statistics from the cities. Vice Governor Yan is worthy of being a heroine among women, and in less than half a year, he has added a million immigrants to Liaodong. According to the latest statistics, the total population of all areas under the control of our Liaodong Army has reached more than 4.63 million, including workers, merchants, handicraftsmen, and, of course, the most peasants who depend on the land for their livelihood. ”

"According to statistics, there are more than 3.85 million peasants in Liaodong in the whole of Liaodong, and in the past six months, almost all the land that can be cultivated in Liaodong has been reclaimed, with a total of more than 23.2 million mu of fertile land."

"Now, all this fertile land has been distributed to every common people. The remaining millions of acres of fertile land were handed over to the army according to the commander's wishes, and the Invalids Farm was set up to arrange some disabled officers and men of the Liaodong Army. ”

"According to the reports of various cities, in half a month, we will have nearly 20 million mu of fertile land for spring ploughing, of which 12 million mu of fertile land will be planted with rice. Originally, there were not so many, because during this period we built a large-scale water conservancy project, and a lot of low-yield dry land was converted into paddy fields where rice can be grown. ”

"In addition, there are more than 2 million acres of land planted with corn and 3 million acres of land planted with wheat, and 3 million acres of land specially set aside to grow soybeans in order to develop the oil extraction industry in eastern Liaoning."

"As long as there are no accidents, this year's Liaodong will definitely be a bumper harvest year."

"When the autumn harvest arrives, the entire Liaodong must be full of grain. If nothing else, the grain tax alone can collect five or six million quintals of grain. If converted into silver, it is nearly 10 million taels of silver. You must know that in the past, all the taxes of the imperial court in the entire three eastern provinces did not add up to 10 million taels of silver. And we only rely on one Liaodong, and it is only the grain tax, we have an income of nearly 10 million taels of silver. If this matter is said, no one will believe it. ”

Yang Xingguo said with a satisfied face: "Governor Huang, it seems that it is right to let you preside over the government." We, the Liaodong Army, are also able to take on this important task. By the way, nearly 4 million people planted grain on 20 million mu of land in just half a month, an average of 5 mu of land per person, including the elderly and children, and the pressure must be very great! ”

Huang Xing replied confidently: "If it is put in other provinces of the Great Qing Kingdom, it will definitely not be possible." However, in my Liaodong is an exception! ”

"How?" Yang Xingguo's face quickly showed an expression of interest, and he subconsciously asked.

Huang Xing replied with a mysterious face: "This is thanks to the tens of thousands of businessmen who are active in my Liaodong!" ”

"Merchant? What does it have to do with them, they don't grow food? The puzzled expression on Yang Xingguo's face became even thicker, and he continued to ask Huang Xing.

Huang Xing didn't hide it, and replied very briskly: "This is still the way that Vice Governor Yan thought of." ”

A few months ago, a Mongolian prince approached Vice Governor Yan and wanted to exchange cattle and sheep for a batch of weapons and ammunition from us. At that time, Vice Governor Yan suddenly thought of the lack of cattle in our Liaodong Army. ”

"At that time, I exchanged hundreds of ploughing cattle from the Mongolian prince."

"A few hundred cows are too few for millions of immigrants in eastern Liaodong to make a difference. However, the fact that the Mongols had a large number of ploughing cattle attracted the attention of Vice Governor Yan. ”

"Millions of immigrants, without tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of ploughing cattle, will certainly not guarantee the smooth progress of spring ploughing."

"Buying hundreds of thousands of cattle at a time is for us. Hardly possible. When Vice Governor Yan came back, he thought of the hundreds of thousands of businessmen who were active in Liaodong. We have no money to buy oxen for ploughing, but the merchants have them. ”

"The merchants had already invested a lot of money to provide the immigrants with necessities and pay for them after the autumn harvest. Now I don't mind throwing in some more silver to provide the immigrants with cattle and pay for them after the autumn harvest. Of course, farming cattle are too expensive, and a family may not be able to buy one in a year's income. Merchants were not skeptical about the autumn harvest a few months after the emigration, but they were worried about whether they could afford it. At this time, Vice Governor Yan proposed an installment payment to repay the silver for the purchase of cattle in two years, and the merchant could collect a certain amount of interest, which would be guaranteed by the local government. ”

As soon as the news came out, the businessman was not worried.

Because, according to the current development situation in Liaodong, after the autumn harvest, a family of five, excluding taxes and rations, will not have a problem at all with a dozen loads of grain. According to this income, you can buy back a ploughing cow in two years, which is not counting the silver that a family can earn by working on a regular basis. If someone in the family is a soldier, a person can buy a ploughing ox for more than a year's military salary. “
