Chapter 862: The Land Question
Even if the Wehrmacht had deep pockets, its own military factories and huge ammunition reserves, it would not be possible to go south in a word. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to mention anything else, the two armies and five main divisions facing the Beiyang Army will certainly not be able to move.
This means that Yang Xingguo must transfer troops from Guanzai!
In order to ensure the stability of Korea and provide a steady stream of iron ore and wealth to the country, the Japanese Korean garrison had to deploy heavy troops to encircle and suppress the increasingly powerful independent division.
And the mountainous environment of Korea is like a guerrilla warfare battlefield specially prepared by God for independent divisions.
No matter how many troops the Japanese army sent, they never managed to take the independent division, but on the contrary, they made the independent division bigger and bigger, and established a base in the northern mountains.
With the sudden rise of the Korean Independent Division, resistance organizations in other parts of North Korea have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and all of them have sprung up all at once.
Although there are more than 100,000 Japanese and Korean garrisons! But now they are busy purging the rebel organizations that have suddenly appeared in various places, encircling and suppressing independent divisions, and there is no extra force at all.
In this case, not to mention attacking the northeast, there is a tendency that even their own base camp will not be able to keep it.
After losing the threat of the Japanese and Korean garrisons, the Wehrmacht had to face only one old man.
In addition, the Wehrmacht has also deployed several border brigades on the Sino-Russian border, and even if an accident really happens, there will be border guards on top of it. Therefore, it would be a waste to leave the two main forces outside the pass.
After careful consideration, Yang Xingguo decisively issued a military order.
Leaving the main forces of the Third Army stationed in the three northeastern provinces, the main forces of the Second Army immediately assembled and rushed to Dalian by train, and then boarded the ship and headed south.
While the Second Army was still on its way south, Huang Xing also arrived in the city of Beijing.
This time, Yang Xingguo no longer cared about any external evaluation, and directly set up the Government Council based on the various departments of Huang Xing's mobile phone, and then Huang Xing served as the first prime minister of the Government Council, responsible for all government affairs in the areas controlled by the National Defense Forces.
In the past two years, based on the three northeastern provinces, Huang Xing has cultivated a sufficient number of government affairs talents.
In addition, when it was in the Northeast, the various departments and institutions under the Marshal's Mansion were established in accordance with national standards.
Therefore, in less than two days, the shelves of the Government Council were erected.
A large number of local officials from the three northeastern provinces also began to accept dozens of county towns and counties in the Gyeonggi area with the cooperation of the army.
Before the overthrow of the Imperial Court, in order to raise enough money to form a forbidden army, the common people in the Gyeonggi area had to bear twice as many taxes as before.
As a result, the Wehrmacht took over Gyeonggi, where the people were struggling to make a living.
After listening to Huang Xing's report on dozens of county towns in Gyeonggi, Yang Xingguo suddenly became angry and scolded the imperial court.
At this time, Huang Xing continued to report: "Dashuai, the people's lack of livelihood is not what worries me the most. ”
"If the people are just struggling to make a living, as long as we prepare the grain and the next rations for the people, and wait for the autumn harvest, this situation will change, and we will also get a certain amount of taxes."
"The problem now is that there is a lot of land and fertile land in the Gyeonggi area, and it is not a problem to feed nearly 10 million people. But. These lands were in the hands of important officials of the imperial court and relatives of the emperor and the capital. The common people don't have land, so we just give them grain to plant, and they can't plant it! ”
Yang Xingguo's brows immediately furrowed.
A very important reason why the three northeastern provinces have been able to develop in just two years is that there are many lands and few people, and these lands have no owners!
No matter who he is, as long as he arrives in the three northeastern provinces, there will be enough land for him to cultivate.
When the common people have land, they have a harvest. In addition, the Wehrmacht's taxes on ordinary people are low, and it only takes one year for all the people who enter the three northeastern provinces to have surplus food.
When there is a surplus, the surplus grain can be sold and exchanged for silver, which can be used to buy all kinds of goods necessary for the people.
In this way, the economy and commerce of the three northeastern provinces have also developed.
Land plays a vital role in the whole cycle. In Gyeonggi in front of you, there is no land.
No, there is enough land, but the land is not in the hands of ordinary people.
This means that the common people will not have income, and there will be no money to buy things, and business will not be able to develop, which is a complete bad circle!
"We must find a way to divide all the land into the hands of ordinary people!" Yang Xingguo frowned and said with a firm face.
Huang Xing agreed with this decision very much, but after some hesitation, he still shook his head and replied: "Dashuai, the land has been in the past two years, and the people can't survive because of all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so they have to sell the land, and then it will be concentrated in the hands of the emperor's relatives." ”
"In other words, the original important ministers of the imperial court and the relatives of the emperor all legally owned these lands, and we can't force them to return the land to ordinary people, so what's the difference between our defense forces and bandits?"
Sun Liechen on the side immediately said: "You must not use force, the inside of the customs is different from the outside of the customs, whether it is the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, the land is concentrated in the hands of a small number of landlords and gentry." If we were to use force against the landowners in Gyeonggi, the gentry and landlords in the Central Plains and Jiangnan would certainly be very jealous of us, and it would be possible for them to unite against us. ”
"When the time comes, even if we are not afraid of them, they will control more than eighty percent of the country's wealth. Once they unite against us, it will definitely cause a lot of difficulties for us to unify the whole country, and even pay several times more price! ”
Huang Xing's face became more and more ugly, and he asked unwillingly: "If you can't use force, you can only redeem it with silver, even if they sell the land to us at the original price, it will be tens of millions of taels of silver." ”
"The taxes outside the customs can't even meet the military expenses of the Wehrmacht for a year, and there is no silver to redeem the land."
"Besides, the original price redemption is still my own words, with the greedy character of the emperor's relatives, it is definitely impossible to sell it to us at the original price, which means that we have to spend more silver to redeem these lands."
Yang Xingguo did not show Huang Xing's worried expression on his face, and from beginning to end, his face was full of confidence.
Seeing that both of them were staring at him, Yang Xingguo replied confidently: "Silver, I can get it." One of the most important reasons why we decided to send troops to Gyeonggi was to get money. ”
"Even if you don't have to be strong, you can get one or two million taels of silver."
"As for the land that is concentrated in the hands of the emperor's relatives, I will neither use it strongly, nor will I spend a tael of silver to guarantee that they will give up the land."
