In a living room of Lin Daxin's residence behind the Governor's Palace, Wang Yan, the highest administrator of the four northeastern provinces, that is, Lin Daxin's cousin, heard that Lin Daxin was going to send a volunteer army of about 1,000 people to South Africa to help the Boers resist the British invasion, and the number of volunteers sent to South Africa may increase in the future, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Marshal, how to solve the supply of weapons, ammunition and materials for the volunteer troops sent to South Africa?" ”

Lin Daxin had already considered this, and immediately said: "I have already thought about it, I will use airships to send supplies to the volunteer troops sent to South Africa, if the British start a war with the Boers of the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State, the British navy will definitely blockade the entire South African seas, and there is no need to think about supplying from the sea, so we can only use airships." And with the speed of the airship, we can fly from Shenyang to South Africa in about 20 days, and after the war in South Africa, we will continue to increase our troops to South Africa, and we will also rely on the transportation of the airship. ”

Wang Yan nodded, if the troops are sent to South Africa thousands of miles away to fight, the supply problem has become the biggest difficulty, and the British have the most powerful navy in the world, once the war starts, it is a certain thing to block the sea transportation channel, even if the Northeast Navy is developing rapidly, it is impossible to provoke the British Navy, now that Lin Daxin has a comprehensive arrangement for this, Wang Yan has no objection.

After talking about sending troops to South Africa to prepare to block the British. Lin Daxin said to Wang Yan: "Cousin, we cut off a big piece of fat from the Russians this time. It's time to start digesting! Of these more than 5 million square kilometers of land, I am going to divide them into four provinces. Now it is possible to start a large number of immigrants to these four provinces, and the immigration policy will be in accordance with the previous regulations. ”

After speaking, Lin Daxin took a map, took a pencil and drew a few strokes on the map, and drew 4 pieces of land that occupied 5.12 million square kilometers of Russia, and Lin Daxin named each new province with an area of about one million square kilometers to Wang Yan and Li Kun, which were called Far Eastern Province, Baikal Province, Saisi Province and Saidong Province respectively.

The Far Eastern Province includes the entire Trans-Khingan Mountains, as well as the entire Far Eastern region south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, including Sakhalin Island, with an area of about 1.06 million square kilometers.

Baikal Province is east from Lake Baikal. It covers an area of about 920,000 square kilometers until it is close to the Trans-Khingan Mountains and reaches the confluence of the Lena River and the Yablonov Mountains in the north. In addition, the Yablonov Mountains were changed back to their Chinese name, Khing'an Mountain, by Lin Daxin.

Saisi Province is after the confluence of the Lena River and the Hung Yen Mountains, east to the Chersky Mountains, with an area of 1.15 million square kilometers, and the Chersky Mountains were named Dingbei Mountains by Lin Daxin.

Saidong Province is east of the Dingbei Mountains and goes all the way to the Bering Strait, including Kamchatka. With an area of 1.99 million square kilometers, it is larger than Xinjiang, the largest province of the Qing Dynasty, but Xinjiang will soon belong to Lin Daxin.

Wang Yan nodded when he saw the four provinces divided by Lin Daxin and said, "Since last year, we have begun to migrate to the entire Far East and the area east of the Lena River. However, because the war with the Russians has not ended, the number is not large, and so far only less than 300,000 people have emigrated to the newly occupied territory. Now that an armistice treaty has been signed with the Russians, the next step in our work in the four northeastern provinces is the focus of our work. It will be placed on the immigration to the 4 new provinces, and the policy of immigrating to the 4 new provinces is so generous. I believe that in a few years, the four new provinces will be firmly in our hands. ”

Lin Daxin originally formulated a very generous immigration policy in order to make the immigrants in the Guannai willing to go to the newly occupied territory.

Immigrants to Mongolia and the Far East, regardless of the age of the immigrants, were given 20 acres of land, food rations for the first year, and seeds and farm tools. All taxes are exempted for the first three years of 10 acres of land, and only one-fifth of the harvest needs to be paid as agricultural tax after three years, and all other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted.

The immigration policy promulgated by Lin Daxin in the East Siberian region is more favorable, as long as the immigrants who go to the occupied area east of the Lena River will be given 30 to 50 acres of land, and the higher the latitude of the place where the immigrants go, the more land will be given. In addition, food rations will be given for three years, seeds and farm tools will be distributed, all taxes on the land will be exempted for the first five years, and only one-fifth of the harvest will be paid as agricultural tax after five years, and all other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will also be exempted.

Although the natural conditions of the four new provinces are harsh, especially Saixi Province and Saidong Province, which are icy and snowy for most of the year, in the face of such a generous immigration policy, I believe that with the endurance of the Chinese, there will still be a considerable number of people who will go to live in the new provinces.

Lin Daxin suddenly thought of something and said to Wang Yan: "Cousin, aren't there still some Russian civilians on our newly acquired territory?" How many Russians can there be? ”

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Yes, when the Russian army surrendered in Vladivostok, there were about 200,000 Russian civilians who surrendered together, and there were about 300,000 Russians in the entire Far Eastern Province, and there were about 400,000 Russians in several cities in Baikal Province. ”

Lin Daxin touched his chin and said: "In this way, there are a lot of Russian civilians, the number is about one million, so let's go, didn't the Russians pay a ransom of 3 million pounds for prisoners of war, I decided to give it with tears, and when the Russians pay the ransom, we will not only return the 650,000 Russian prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp to the Russians, but also return the 1 million Russian civilians to the Russians!" ”

Wang Yan and Li Kun both nodded on the side, there is no so-called human rights at this time, since Russia has lost the war and ceded all the land, the Russians who originally lived on it naturally have to get out.

In fact, Lin Daxin is quite particular, if there is no Lin Daxin, a spoiler, the Russians will forcibly occupy Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64tun next year, creating the appalling Hailanpao tragedy and Jiangdong 64tun tragedy.

In order to occupy the above-mentioned places, the Russians organized and ordered Russian soldiers to kill people and set fires, burned down villages, drove the Qing Dynasty people into the Heilongjiang River and drowned them alive, shot or stabbed to death unarmed residents and their wives and children, and plundered the property of the Qing Dynasty people, and finally the number of Qing Dynasty people killed in the Hailanpao Massacre and the Jiangdong 64tun Massacre reached more than 7,000 people.

Compared with the brutal occupation of the Russians, Lin Daxin felt that he was merciful enough, just sending Russian civilians back to the Russians' own land, and now the place where they stayed was already the land of the Chinese, and they should leave.

Lin Daxin then said to Wang Yan: "Our Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia should also hurry up the immigration, in addition, I have ordered the cavalry division of the Dingbei Army, led by the division commander Wu Yuning, 30,000 cavalry from Outer Mongolia directly into Xinjiang, the 19th Division and the 20th Division will also enter later, with the promise of the imperial court to take over Xinjiang, in this way, Xinjiang is also our territory, and the immigration work to Xinjiang will also be launched." ”

Hearing Lin Daxin mention Xinjiang, Wang Yan frowned and said: "Dashuai, the situation in Xinjiang is quite special, most of the people living there are ethnic minorities who believe in Islam, and Xinjiang is known as a big chaos in 20 years and a small chaos in 10 years, and all kinds of contradictions are sharp, which is different from all our current provinces." ”

Lin Daxin sneered and said: "It's no different, the natives of Luzon Province are rampant or not, it's not the same as cleaning up, if those ethnic minorities who believe in Islam don't want to be Chinese, those natives of Luzon Province are their lessons from the past, if someone wants to try if my Lin Daxin's knife is sharp enough, I am very willing to try my knife with their neck." ”

After Lin Daxin instructed Wang Yan to do a few things, Wang Yan left the Governor's Mansion because he still had a lot of official business to deal with, and went to gather his subordinates to start getting busy.

After Wang Yan left, Lin Daxin said to Li Kun: "Your military intelligence bureau's next main focus should be on the Japanese, although we defeated the seemingly powerful Russians, so that many of our potential enemies have scruples about us, and dare not provoke us lightly, but the Japanese are a relatively crazy nation, no one knows when they will suddenly become mad dogs and bite you, so we must always stay sober, beware of the Japanese, don't think that if we defeat the Russians, we can sit back and relax, and let the horses go!" ”

Li Kun nodded and said, "Principal, rest assured, our Military Intelligence Bureau will definitely increase intelligence efforts against Japan and monitor every move of the Japanese at all times." ”

Lin Daxin asked again: "How about the murder of Bablofu, the former Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, in the Shenyang Hotel last year?" Are there any clues? ”

Although the Russians had been trying to annex the four northeastern provinces, and Lin Daxin suddenly seized Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia from the Manchus, leaving the Russians to use military force on the border, the real trigger for the war was the murder of Pablofu.

When Li Kun heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "Principal, Wang Xike, director of our Military Intelligence Bureau and the police departments of the four northeastern provinces, have all transferred capable personnel to set up a task force together, and Director Wang Xike personally serves as the leader of the task force, and they have carried out a lot of investigation work, but there has been no progress so far, but the task force suspects that this matter should be done by Japanese spies, and this Japanese spy is hidden in our Shenyang City."
