Chapter 627: Grassland Reform

It took a month for the high-speed railway party to shoot all the aristocratic class of the more than 200,000 Mongolians in the Zhanghuan Special Economic Zone, and almost none of them remained. And the more than 200,000 people in the entire Zhanghuan Special Economic Zone were also made extremely frightened by him. And the Mongols in the Zhanghuan Special Zone all regarded the high-speed rail side as the king of Hades, and then this made them all afraid when they saw those gendarmes. Although there were some surprises in the process, for example, some Mongol nobles knew the news in advance and wanted to gather cavalry to resist.

But they didn't expect that the gendarmes around Gao Tiefang all had guns, and they were all the latest automatic rifles. According to Wang Guorui's conditions, the automatic rifles used by these special gendarmes can be fired in bursts, unlike ordinary soldiers, which must be fired in a single shot, and can only be fired in bursts with the consent of the squad leader. Therefore, under such heavy firepower, although some Mongolian nobles wanted to gather hundreds of cavalry to resist, they were unable to resist at all, and were directly killed by dozens of gendarmes with automatic rifles, and it was not impossible for them to resist successfully.

Of course, there were also some Mongolian nobles who heard the news and immediately packed up their gold and silver and ran away, obviously they didn't want to stay here and be killed by the high-speed railway party.

"Okay, we've slaughtered all these Mongol nobles in the Zhanghuan Special Zone. Next, it's time for me to buy the hearts and minds of the people! Gao Tie Fang said.

"How to buy the hearts of the people? I'm still going to be ready to recruit cavalry divisions! Zhu Yuan said.

Gao Tiefang replied lightly: "Actually, it's very simple, according to Lord Wang's idea, there is no other means, but a very old but very effective means can be used." ”

"By what means?" Zhu Yuan didn't quite understand.

"Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!" The high-speed rail party replied.

Zhu Yuan then called some herdsmen, and then they were all representatives of the original herdsmen. They were also very scared when they looked at Gao Tie Fang, the cold-blooded Hades, and they didn't know what Gao Tie Fang had called them for. It is useless for them to resist. So they can only come and gamble.

"Fellow herdsmen, have you worked hard all these years?" Zhu Yuan asked.

The Mongolian herdsmen didn't know what this meant, so they asked carefully, "My lord from the Central Plains, what are you going to do?" ”

"Rest assured, we are here to guard the frontier against the invasion of the Russians. Well. This is also known as the Rakshasa people. Gao Tie Fang said.

The herdsman then asked, "Then why did you kill those princes?" ”

"That's because they fornicated with the Russians and betrayed the country outright, so I killed them! And you ordinary herdsmen are all Chinese people, and you have not betrayed the country, then I will not kill you! Gao Tie Fang said.

The herdsmen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next sentence from the high-speed railway party suddenly made them see hope.

"Those Mongolian Nayan lords, they occupy too much grassland on weekdays, and you ordinary people are their herdsmen. Don't you want to have your own pasture? The high-speed rail party asked.

"What? Can we have our own pasture? Aren't the grasslands all those old men? A herdsman asked cautiously.

Gao Tiefang smiled, these are the tragic days of Mongolian herders. You must know that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia was not like the bandit group that swept the world back then, and the Mongolians in this era were no longer the Mongols of the past, and they could obtain wealth through looting, and then maintain the collective. But the Mongols of this era had to bow their heads and honestly graze. Finally, step by step, in exchange for subsistence capital.

However, after Wang Guorui's investigation, he found that the situation in Mongolia was actually similar to that in the Central Plains. It's even simply a template. In the Central Plains, a large number of landlords occupy land, and then ordinary people can only rent the landlord's land, and then get some share of the grain, but this grain is not enough for them to survive in peace, once there is any natural and man-made disaster, it will be unlucky.

And Mongolia is actually the same here, and their pastures are also those of the nobles. Ordinary herders simply do not have their own pastures. Although the Mongols are so-called "nomadic people", by this time they are no longer "nomadic", and they are almost close to settling, but their methods of settlement are different. The Mongols in this period, they relied on the canonization of the Manchus. The steppe was then divided into sections, which were then divided into so-called Mongol "flags", each of which was considered a small tribe and was managed by a nobleman. A number of flags form a "league", which means the alliance, but the location of the alliance was designated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This kind of name, even in the 21st century in the later generations, many county-level units in Inner Mongolia are named after "banners", township-level units are named Sumuda, and later generations also have the so-called league, that is, the administrative division at the regional level, which is also the name that has survived that year. Therefore, in the case of this precise division of the scope of tribal activities, in fact, the nomadic nature of the Mongols has gradually disappeared, and they have already adopted a relatively stable way of life like the people of the Central Plains.

Under this stable way, the problems encountered by the Central Plains will definitely be encountered. The annexation of the land in the Central Plains will naturally lead to the annexation of grasslands in the Mongolian region, which is an inevitable phenomenon. If the Mongols had remained nomadic, there would have been no problem with disputes over the ownership of pastures. But once it is settled, the ownership of the pasture will certainly begin to emerge gradually.

If those Mongolian nobles did not take advantage of this opportunity to exploit ordinary Mongolian herdsmen with their privileges, then Wang Guorui could cut off his head and use it as a kick for him. With the aristocracy of this era, they have the right not to use it, in fact, it is impossible. Since they have the power to exploit the herdsmen, can they not exploit the pastures of those herders through various privileges and methods? If the landlords and bureaucrats of the Central Plains are like this, can the Mongolian aristocracy be exempt from vulgarity? And the Mongolian nobles have the behemoth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty behind them, so even if a small number of herdsmen want to oppose it, they are helpless, after all, the Mongolian nobles have too many backers. If the Manchus were not destroyed, it would be impossible for the Mongol nobles to be deprived of their privileges.

Those who had no pasture could only rely on helping the nobles to graze their cattle and finally earn some meager income to support their families. This is no different from the tenants of the Central Plains, in fact, it is just another mode of production, but there is no difference in the relations of production.

"These Mongolian nobles are all blood-sucking poisonous insects on the steppe, they parasitize on everyone, and then rely on everyone's blood to survive. But you who really work hard to graze the cattle do not receive any proper remuneration, and if the cattle and sheep die, you will have to pay compensation. Is this fair? What do those noble lords have, they can't graze, they can't do anything, they just rely on a broken paper appointment from the court, and then they will ride on your heads and? Is this fair? So, I'm going to give you the pasture! Gao Tie Fang said.

"Okay, great, if we can get the pasture, then you Han people are also our saviors, brothers!" Immediately someone knelt down and said.

The high-speed rail party calmed them down, and then sent them away, letting them go and relay the news that they were preparing to divide the pasture.

"Lao Gao, do you want to divide the grassland this time?" Zhu Yuan asked.

Because Gao Tiefang is in his forties, he is much older than Zhu Yuan, who is just twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not to mention that he is also his deputy, and he may be able to have a future in the future, so Zhu Yuan didn't support him, and directly called him Lao Gao, representing closeness. Although the high-speed rail side has a certain intention of supervising the army, it does not mean that it must be incompatible, and appropriate proximity is still possible. As long as it's not a pair of pants, that's fine.

"Yes, I'm going to solve these problems next. Especially about the distribution of pastures, which is related to the future land reform of our Central Plains. This grassland reform is actually a rehearsal of the land reform in the Central Plains, through which we can find some problems and then solve them. Of course, although it is impossible for us to kill those landlords in the Central Plains, we can provide some experience for Lord Wang to carry out land reform in the Central Plains in the future. ”

"In this Mongolian steppe, the distribution of grassland has been infinitely close to the distribution model of agricultural land in the Central Plains. So there is a very strong reference significance, this is a booklet specially given to me before Lord Wang came, specifically introducing the methods that can be used as appropriate, so that I came here to use it as I wish. And since ancient times, all kinds of rebellions and uprisings, haven't they all shouted the slogan of fighting local tyrants, dividing the land, or equalizing the rich and the poor? In fact, we are also carrying out a grassland reform, and then let these ordinary herdsmen get the pasture, and then firmly grasp the hearts of these herdsmen. At that time, those Mongol nobles, they will not be able to come back again. Those Mongolian nobles, that is, let them go to their own place and find a way to solve those things. As long as we capture the hearts of those herders, will we be afraid of anything? The high-speed rail party asked.

And Zhu Yuan also nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to form two cavalry divisions next, so it's up to you at that time." You can help me pull the hearts of these Mongols over as soon as possible, so that we can successfully form a cavalry division. We are not short of anyone else, who can ride horses. Our Taiwanese soldiers are mainly southerners, with ships in the south and horses in the north, and we southerners are not suitable for cavalry, and professional things still need to be done by professional people.
