The impact of the victory in the Sino-British War and the signing of the Treaty of Calcutta on Britain was not expected by Li Hui, but its impact on China and neighboring countries was expected and was well used by the Datong Party and the Chinese government, which had been prepared for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, of course, after losing foreign support, the rebels at home quickly collapsed, allowing the Datong Party to complete domestic reunification at a small cost (if it were all by force, there would not be many people killed in battle, but the consumption of materials and the number of people who died of disease would not be small, and the terrain and climate of the frontier would create great difficulties for military operations. Then, through the reform of civilization and the immigration to the real frontier, the Datong Party quickly established a grassroots organization and political power in the border areas, and the old and difficult problem of insufficient control over the frontier that could not be solved by successive Central Plains dynasties was finally completely solved.

For this work, the system has given Li Hui great help, because there is no language barrier for biochemical soldiers, so there is no need to spend too long to slowly train ethnic minority cadres, and there is no need to lower the requirements for the quality of cadres because of the shortage of supply.

As the saying goes, "cadres decide everything," and with a sufficient number of qualified cadres, coupled with the fact that the border areas are vast and sparsely populated and rich in resources, the economy has developed very quickly, and many areas have achieved food and clothing earlier than most inland areas.

Of course, the strategy adopted by the Datong Party also played a very crucial role, warmly "uniting the masses, mobilizing the masses, and relying on the masses." "The combination of a resolute and ruthless purge of the old local ruling class has fundamentally solved the problem of the frontier areas being prone to centrifugation. Of course, this is also thanks to the presence of biochemical soldiers, otherwise the frontier work must rely on cadres born in the local area to carry out, and in the poor and backward frontier areas, almost all the talents who have a certain cultural foundation and are worth cultivating come from the old upper strata, and the latter step will not be completely done in any way.

Well, in fact, even if there are a large number of biochemical troops available, it is impossible to be thorough, for those guys who saw the opportunity quickly and led their troops to surrender without waiting for the army to call, even if Li Hui just wanted to set an example, it was impossible not to open the net.

For example, Li Hui actually wanted to get rid of Ma Jiajun completely in his heart, because he realized the strength of the Datong Party and decisively defected to him soon after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, not only was he not liquidated, but also received good preferential treatment, Li Hui couldn't help but sigh, "In history, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it has been standing tall for so many years in the troubled times, and there are really two brushes." ”

However, due to the lessons of history, Li Hui is not at ease with these people after all, and always feels that sooner or later it will be a hidden danger, but he can't be punished without guilt, so what should he do?

The Land Reform Commission is an efficient filter, but for the time being, the Datong Party is not capable of implementing it throughout the country, and the land reform is too hateful, and it is likely to detonate all the contradictions at once and form a situation of flames everywhere. Although Li Hui believed that his army was fully capable of suppressing the rebellion, it was better to have a smaller damage. Therefore, the method adopted by Li Hui is to first implement some policies that are not so stimulating, to force out potential opposition elements little by little, and by the way, to kill people and establish authority, just like the ancient Xiongnu Yu Maoton's chirping plan, and wait until no one dares to oppose the policies of the Datong Party before implementing land reform throughout the country, which may cause much less turmoil.

The first thing the Datong Party introduced was the monetary policy, which not only stipulated that the Chinese dollar was the only currency in circulation in the country, but also severely punished those who used other currencies (including gold and silver) for trading; At the same time, it is also strictly forbidden to privately possess gold and silver and foreign exchange of the gold and silver standard, and the families that hold more than one city or two of gold (the new weights and measures have already been introduced) or the same gold standard foreign exchange, and more than one pound of silver or the same silver standard foreign exchange must exchange the gold and silver and foreign exchange exceeding the limit into Chinese dollars within the prescribed time limit, otherwise they will be punished for treason.

"Domestic gold and silver foreign exchange has been banned from circulation, and it has completely lost its use value, but it still continues to be privately stored in large quantities and refuses to be exchanged for legal tender, which is clearly a desire to flee and commit treason!" This logic is undoubtedly quite arrogant and domineering, but objectively speaking, those who know that they will be severely punished and still take the risk of secretly hiding a large amount of gold, silver and foreign exchange must indeed have other intentions. Therefore, the filtering effect of this policy is quite obvious, and at the same time, it also raises a large amount of gold and silver foreign exchange and improves the acceptance of Huayuan in China.

The reason why Li Hui was the first to introduce this policy was not only to speed up the collection of gold and silver, but also to curb the possible exodus after the introduction of other policies in the future.

Huayuan can not be freely exchanged for gold and silver, it is not recognized abroad, only gold and silver and foreign exchange can come in handy after going abroad, after the introduction of this policy, it will inevitably become poor after going abroad, and in the society where all the money looks at the West, the life of the poor is not as good as at home, why bother to go abroad?

It sounds very reasonable, but those who fled in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were not mainly worried about being deprived of their property, but for fear of losing their lives, so the number of people who tried to flee was still quite large, but there were not many successes (mainly because the neighboring countries did not dare to accept it, and even Tsarist Russia, which was hostile to China, did not want to do much before the two major railways were repaired). That's it.

However, it cannot be said that this policy is worthless, and in the so-called "whistleblowing bill" (for serious crimes with a sentence of more than three years in prison, whistleblowers can receive substantial material rewards, and even the least serious crimes of treason meet the requirements. Together, it makes it extremely difficult for corrupt officials to flee abroad, and even if they are lucky enough to escape abroad, it is difficult to take their stolen money with them. It is wishful thinking to expect to flee abroad and enjoy prosperity after having enough money at home......

At present, although the effect of this policy to prevent flight is mediocre, the role of the filter is fully reflected, because of the lack of understanding of Li Hui's character, or luck, many former powerful bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen have left some more private money, but the result is to underestimate the pervasiveness of the Central Security Bureau. By the end of 1895, hundreds of people had been executed and tens of thousands more sentenced.

However, this trick is useless to those honest and smart people, except for those who were specially greeted by Li Hui in advance and asked him to understand the seriousness of this policy, such as admirals, Yuan Shikai, Li Hongzhang, etc., and many uninformed people also survived this turmoil safely, including Ma Jiajun......
