Chapter 399: The First Northeast Campaign 2

Housework is always troublesome. Wang Shuhui doesn't like to be trapped in family affairs.

When people are angry, they will always unconsciously vent their anger on others. Wang Shuhui was angry with the Hubei Base Area Party Committee of the Renaissance Party that helped his father-in-law send a telegram to him about being used by the old literati of the Counselors' Committee.

If it's a dog, you'll want to eat it. However, as the owner of the dog, when he saw the dog go to eat Xiang, he did not kick the dog a few times, slap it a few times, teach it the rules, let it be honest, but let the dog eat Xiang, then the responsibility is not on the dog, but on the dog owner who did not stop the dog.

Wang Shuhui believes that the Hubei Base Party Committee of the Baxing Party has not properly assumed its responsibility for managing and supervising the Counselors' Committee, which has caused this old literati who like to make trouble for nothing to go to their father-in-law to cause trouble.

Originally, Wang Shuhui was very dissatisfied with the fact that some cadres in the top echelons of the Ba'ath Party began to smell of feudalism in their heads, and they were constantly approaching the old literati of the Counsellors' Committee.

Feudalism has always been extremely vital in China, where the power feudal system has lasted for 2,000 years. In the era of New China, we had to rely on non-stop political movements to reluctantly suppress the resurrection of the ghost of feudalism. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, this phenomenon was even more serious.

Wang Shuhui originally wanted to wait until the northeast region was stabilized before carrying out rectification within the Baath Party, but after discovering that the old literati had infiltrated his family in a pervasive way, Wang Shuhui felt that some preparations could be done in advance.

He first sent a telegram in the whole party criticizing the Baath Party and the Hubei Base Area Party Committee for not being vigilant against the infiltration of old feudal literati. After that, he directly adjusted the post of the Baath Party's work style rectification committee, and transferred Li Sancai, who had been serving in the intelligence department for a long time, to the post of chairman of the rectification committee.

Li Sancai, who is nicknamed the black-faced god within the Baath Party, was put into the leading position of the Powerful Departmental Suppression Committee by Wang Shuhui, which made the top level of the Baath Party have a lot of associations. Many high-ranking Baath Party cadres who were instigated by the old literati of the Counsellors' Committee and wanted to make some meritorious contributions to the establishment of the Party suddenly became honest.

Fortresses are always breached from within. As the only industrialized advanced organization on the planet, the Baath Party has a very strong vitality, and its strength is incomparably great. There is no possibility of bringing down the Baath Party by external means. Only the Baath Party's own decadence will destroy the Ba'ath Party.

Wang Shuhui said these words repeatedly within the revival party. However, the real problem is that although the current high-level cadres of the Ba'ath Party were all educated by Wang Shuhui with the advanced theories of scientific sociology, and although they were all laborers from the lowest strata of society, they were generally only in their early thirties, and they still grew up in the old environment of feudal agricultural society.

The Baath Party wants to enter a progressive, revolutionary, and advanced stage once and for all, and this can only be achieved after the young people who have lived in the new society of the Ba'ath Party since childhood grow up.

Through the matter of his father-in-law, Wang Shuhui had a special understanding. He found that he seemed to vaguely understand why many people in later generations would think that the movement carried out by the old man Mao after the establishment of New China seemed to be the kind of personnel struggle against individuals.

As an advanced person, as a person who has a full understanding of social development and human nature, it is very difficult not to be bored and disgusted with backward people and things and similar personal feelings.

From a traditional point of view, those cadres who participated in the revolution in the early days and can be said to fight the world with Wang Shuhui seem to indeed deserve their treatment and status as meritorious heroes. From the traditional point of view, participating in the revolution is nothing more than a process of personal success, and if they participate in the revolution, they should enjoy the fruits of the revolution.

But for Mr. Wang, his view of the world is much farther than that of his students. He felt that the Baath Party's acquisition of political power in Hubei, the Baath's political power in Ludong, the Ba'ath Party's political power in southern Liaoning, and even the Baath's political power in the whole of China in the future were just a stage in his construction of an industrialized and modern New China. These are just the beginning of the Long March.

The Ba'ath Party, which used steam engines, researched internal combustion engines, and had only just built a few power plants, was indeed the most advanced and civilized in this era, as Baath members believed.

But for Wang Shuhui, a later generation, when he saw the steam tractor used by the Baath Party, he thought of the large combine harvester in modern society. When he saw the improvised railway being built by the Baath Party, he thought of a high-speed railway with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour in modern society. When he saw the Baath Party's observation balloon, he thought of the spacecraft of modern society. When he saw the simple version of the bazooka that had been popularized by the Ba'ath Army, he thought of the intercontinental missiles in modern society.

Wang Shuhui has personally experienced the speed of scientific and technological progress and development in modern society. When he first used a computer in '97, it was still an advanced technology that had not yet been widely used. Ten years later, computers are rotten like flashlights. When he first came into contact with mobile phones for 2,000 years, they were still a precious thing that could only be used by officials and wealthy people. After ten years, the old mobile phone will be used as a scrap product, and at most it will be replaced with a kitchen knife.

They are not modern people, they have not experienced modern society, and their understanding of the truth that the material world is always in development and change will never be as profound as that of modern people.

Many members of the Ba'ath Party always feel that they are good enough now and do not need to toss and change again. However, Wang Shuhui knew that the Baath Party, which has an annual output of more than 1 million tons of steel and more than 3 million tons of coal, is reluctant to popularize boiler heating for the people under its rule. The houses are all brick and concrete structures, and they dare not use reinforced concrete structures on a large scale.

Considering that the population under the rule of the Ba'ath Party will definitely exceed 100 million people in the future, then according to the current steel production of the Ba'ath Party, the per capita steel production is only about two catties. According to the calculation of a family of three, the people of New China will not even be able to achieve a bicycle per family in the future. Not to mention the fact that it costs a lot of steel to build railways, build machines, and produce weapons and various products themselves.

Every family has a car, every family has a house, and every Chinese can enjoy the fruits of industrialization and modernization, which is Wang Shuhui's ideal life for new Chinese.

It is precisely because of the huge gap between ideals and reality, and precisely because of Wang Shuhui's deep secret promise to the future new Chinese, that Wang Shuhui cannot tolerate any factors that may hinder the development and progress of the Baath Party.

Around March 1630, the temperature in the Fuzhou area had risen to around freezing. Whether it is the weeds in the field or the trees in the forest, they have begun to show signs of returning to green when they are blown by the spring breeze.

After a winter of construction work, the construction of the three new ports of Lushun, Jinzhou and Fuzhou has been completed. With the opening of the Bohai Sea coast and the commissioning of new ports, a large number of transport fleets from the Hubei Base Area, the Ludong Base Area, and the Jeju Island Military Base Area have delivered a large amount of materials to the southern Liaoning base area, resulting in an unprecedented development in the construction of the entire southern Liaoning base area.

By mid-March 1630, a medium-sized cement plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons of cement (for the Baathists), a coal mine with an annual output of 30,000 tons of coal, a medium-sized steel plant with an annual output of 150,000 tons of steel, a small fertilizer plant with an annual output of 6,000 tons of fertilizer, and a combined mechanical plant with a total of 6,000 workers (including an arsenal and various other industrial and agricultural equipment such as steam tractors and steam engines, Locomotive and other production enterprises) have been established and put into production in the new industrial zone set up by the Baath Party between Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

In addition, three large farms that have already completed land leveling, as well as canneries and corresponding food processing plants for chicken and pig farms and various feedlots, have also started production. Hundreds of steam tractors brought from the Hubei base began to plough the fields on the farms where the leveling work had been completed. Preparations are made for the farm's agricultural production and construction work, which will begin in mid-April.

Because of the efforts of the Dongjiang Reconstruction Army and the First Fleet of the Navy throughout the winter, more than two-thirds of the soldiers of the Reconstruction Army and the Production and Construction Corps in the southern Liaoning base area have already started a family under the organization's arrangement. As long as the first large-scale campaign of the Houjin Nujin is over, which is being prepared by the party committee of the southern Liaoning base area, the work of distributing houses in the base area will begin.

It is particularly worth mentioning that from October 1639 to March 1630, with the efforts of more than 40,000 soldiers of the Baath Party Railway Production and Construction Corps and the Baath Road Production and Construction Corps, as well as nearly the same number of Korean laborers and Mongolian and Houjin labor reform personnel, a two-lane mud gravel road from Port Arthur to Fuzhou New Town, connecting Port Arthur, Jinzhou Port and Fuzhou Port was completed at the same time, and a two-lane mud gravel road with almost the same line, but at the same time connecting the three major farms and three major cities in the southern Liaoning base area.

In other words, by this time, the base area in southern Liaoning, where the basic construction of highways and railways had been completed, had already built an iron wall. Guarded by 30,000 regular Renaissance Army and more than 40,000 soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps who have undergone full military training, any daring to attack the Baath Party's base areas in southern Liaoning, which has already completed the basic industrial and agricultural construction, will be dealt a devastating blow.

Huang Taiji is a relatively talented and capable ruler among all the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, even those who are as talented as Huang Taiji have no way to effectively understand the advanced and powerful nature of the Baath Party.

said that Huang Taiji is talented, that is because Huang Taiji is more pragmatic. He was able to have a reasonable understanding of the strength of the Later Jin Jurchen himself and the strength of the Later Jin Jurchen's enemies, and then adopted corresponding response strategies.

Let's talk about the internal ethnic policy of the Jin Jurchen in the future. As the heir of the wild boar skin, Huang Taiji was able to understand from a rational perspective why his father would engage in a frenzied slaughter policy in the later stage of his reign.

(The Liaodong Massacre: The Liaodong Massacre, also known as the Liaodong Massacre, refers to the massacre of Han Chinese in the Northeast by the Later Jin regime in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in Liaoning.) Nurhachi pursued a policy of "those who resisted were killed, and those who were taken prisoner were enslaved" and "rich and poor were killed." Before entering the customs, while boasting that he gave preferential treatment to "Nikan", on the other hand, he carried out national oppression on the Han people, and when he resisted slightly, he slaughtered more than 1 million Han people in Liaodong. At the same time, a large number of local Han and other ethnic groups were used as slaves. )

Although in the backward organization of the post-Jin Jurchen regime, there were no scholars like Malthus and Hong Liangji who had a clear understanding of the population problem in an agrarian society. However, as a ruler, Huang Taiji knew that the backward agricultural production of the Later Jin Jurchen regime could not guarantee the self-sufficiency of his own people.

However, artificially eliminating the population through massacres like his father did and alleviating the contradiction between agricultural production and population can certainly reduce the supply pressure and give priority to ensuring the survival of the Jurchen nation. However, such an approach ultimately failed to satisfy the overall development of the post-Jin Jurchen regime.

He clearly realized that with the strength of less than 200,000 people and less than 60,000 armed forces, the Later Jin Jurchen had no way to resist the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty. Only by replenishing supplies and population by means of entering the customs and plundering can the strength of the Later Jin Jurchen regime continue to grow.

Diverting internal pressure through the means of foreign wars is not a new thing for Wang Shuhui, a modern person. However, at this stage in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji, as the ruler of a backward regime, had such insights, which could be regarded as "eloquent".

Anyway, compared with his father's method of dissipating internal pressure through massacre, Huang Taiji's method of using internal contradictions to turn out is suspected of eating the steamed buns chewed by the Mongols and beating the grass valley, but this method is obviously adapted to the actual situation of the post-Jin Jurchen regime. This is evidenced by the success of this raid.

The Later Jin Jurchen regime during the reign of Huang Taiji was in a vigorous stage of the rising period.

Therefore, even though the Fuxing Army relied on its strong mobility and advanced operational ideas and weapons and equipment, it carried out comprehensive population plundering and large-scale destruction of the area from Fuzhou to Gaizhou, and advanced the defense line of the First Army Corps in southern Liaoning from the Fuzhou area along the communication line to the Yongning area between Fuzhou and Gaizhou, and carried out very strict battlefield information shielding in the area between Yongning and Gaizhou. However, the few Eight Banners sentries who escaped under the guns of the reconnaissance units of the Baxing Army still passed back the information that a large-scale unidentified armed force had appeared in the Yongning area.

In fact, around April 1630, there was no need for scouts to report, and the Later Jin Jurchens fully understood the hostility of the Fuxing Army from the fact that the field troops of the Fuxing Army were active around Gaizhou City, constantly killing and wounding the Jurchen Dingkou to rescue the local Han slaves.

The continuous skirmishes of hundreds of people, the continuous scout war, no matter what kind of battles they were in, the Houjin side was unilaterally in a state of defeat. This made it impossible for the Houjin Jurchen high-level to effectively judge the actual strength of the Renaissance Army.

The distribution of the spoils in the Eight Banners after entering the customs and looting seriously consumed the energy of Huang Taiji, who had to make full political considerations, attack the main forces of the Eight Banners through various means, and strive to realize centralized rule.

After finally smoothing out the contradictions within the Eight Banners, Huang Taiji began to face up to the revival army in southern Liaoning.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I'm shocked when I see it.

Huang Taiji, who carefully analyzed all aspects of intelligence, found that it was obvious that the Fuxing Army entrenched in the southern Liaoning region was not the Ming army that was weak and only knew how to harass and fight.

Over the course of a few months, this army of unknown origin inflicted staggering losses on the blue and white flags of the Later Jin Jurchens stationed in southern Liaoning. These losses were even greater than the total losses inflicted by the Dongjiang Army on the Houjin side in the past few years.

However, fortunately, according to the current intelligence, the total number of this powerful unknown force is not large, and it seems that it is only about 10,000 people. Then, supporting the blue and white flags, and sending elite troops to deal a devastating blow to them to boost morale and further consolidate his authority, became Huang Taiji's only choice
