Chapter 823: The Far East Establishes a Province
"To put it simply, as of June 1, more than 800,000 serfs have been released in the plateau area, of which 300,000 have been preliminarily allocated pastures and fields, and it is expected that all pastures will be divided within the year."
Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "This Yan Xishan is still very capable and clean, but it is not very glorious to make this hand out of the mountain, and some people have sued me and asked for a thorough investigation of Yan Xishan." ”
"Dreaming!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "I still want to be a slave owner and live a life of mastery, but it will never be successful." Now just confiscating their property is already cheaper for them, and if they dare to toss again, they will keep their heads behind. ”
Wang Yongjiang saw Zhang Tinglan's murderous spirit, and said with a smile: "Humble words, you don't want to kill all these people, it's a hundred times to do this." It's just that in addition to the serfs, there are many free people on the plateau, and these people are quite devout to the religious leaders, and if they are killed, they are afraid that there will be a rebellion. ”
"Well, that's right, the regular army is not terrible, even if it pulls out 180,000 troops, it can't withstand a bombardment. It's just that once you rely on the terrain, like a swarm of mosquitoes, to fight guerrilla with you, it's troublesome. In the plateau area, the consumption of the garrison army is too great to bear. ”
"In that case, is there any way to get the best of both worlds?"
"It's nothing more than to let them be rich and idlers, as long as they are willing to hand over all their power, give them some money regularly, and then leave some positions for them in the government at all levels, and they don't want any real power, just look passable."
Wang Yongjiang nodded: "That's right, in fact, we are also doing this in Mongolia, over the years, Mongolia's economy has continued to develop, and the life of herders has been getting better and better." The original nobles no longer daydream, and honestly integrate into mainstream society. It's just that the plateau and Mongolia are not the same. Doing so may be a recipe for disaster. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Quite simply, although Mongolia is similar to many places on the plateau, Mongolia has closer exchanges with the interior, and since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Manchu and Mongolia have been constantly intermarrying. In Mongolian society, the secular liliang is more powerful and the religious influence is even lower, as long as there is greater exchange and integration with the hinterland, it will soon be effective. But in the plateau where the religion shili is deeply rooted, only after a round of transformation. There will be a counterattack. ”
Wang Yongjiang's words immediately reminded Zhang Tinglan that it is true, religion is indeed a very strange liliang. For thousands of years, the Han people were a weak atheist country. From the beginning of the silence of the child, religion was destined to fail to dominate Chinese society. Once such signs appeared, the emperor of China was never polite. How many times to exterminate the Buddha. It is a complete localization of a foreign religion.
If there is anything that the Chinese have believed in for thousands of years, I am afraid that the most important thing is pragmatism, and the gods and Buddhas have stood aside. Because of this, China does not understand a society with a very strong religious tradition. When people are ignorant and stubborn, they will blindly believe in religion, but once they have money, they will become a little richer. If you can calm down, you will also return to religion.
Because of this, after the initial division of the land, the plateau will settle down temporarily, but the old traditions will not be extinguished, and sooner or later there will be a comeback.
Zhang Tinglan walked back and forth in the office a few times, her brows furrowed, and she kept thinking of various strategies in her mind. The main reason for success in Mongolia is that Mongolia is rich in resources, and as long as the economy develops, the level of culture and education is raised, and especially the Sinicization is vigorously promoted, there will be no problem.
However, these strategies have become very troublesome for the plateau, and within twenty or thirty years of the four or five thousand meters of plateau, there is no need to build a railway, let alone economic development, without infrastructure......
Wang Yongjiang is the same, he also knows the difficulty of changing the plateau, and he can't help but sigh. As he was walking, Zhang Tinglan suddenly set his eyes on a Maitreya Buddha on the top of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
The Maitreya Buddha carved by topaz is only more than half a foot high, with a bare chest and breasts, a smile is lovely, and the small Buddha statue is lifelike, and a glance can make people's minds open a lot.
Zhang Tinglan also suddenly had an idea, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Minyuan, what do you say about this Buddha statue?" ”
Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "I remember that this is the treasure that was found when the Qing Palace's mansion was raided, and these Manchu nobles did loot a lot of good things." ”
"Yes, if this Buddha statue is placed in the temple, I am afraid that it will be watched by all the people, bow and worship, I don't know how many good men and women will compete to burn incense. But placed on this treasure pavilion, it is just an ordinary ornament, at most it is to appreciate a carver and admire the ingenuity. ”
Wang Yongjiang can be called the wise man in the world, as soon as he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and suddenly smiled: "Humble words, do you want to invite those gods and Buddhas down?" ”
"That's right, this god and Buddha in the sky, as long as they leave the temple, they will lose that wisp of immortal energy, and they will lose their magic over time."
……
"Sir, there are more than 20 members of parliament who have signed a petition to sue you to the president?"
Yan Xishan didn't raise his head, continued to look at the official document, and just sneered casually: "What do they want to sue Yan someone?" ”
"Of course, it is a violation of religious freedom, some people think that tradition should be respected, some people advocate that it should be done slowly, and others say that you kill too much!"
"Overweight?" Yan Xishan sneered: "I'm already merciful to my subordinates, if there are fewer people killed, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the level above." ”
Since the march into the plateau, more than 200 former nobles have been killed, thousands of monks have been imprisoned, and more than 30,000 militants have been captured, all of whom have been sent to the northwest to work as laborers. With the deepening of land reform, more and more people have to be cleaned up.
The more you kill, the more pressure you put on your shoulders. It's just that Yan Xishan knows very well that since Zhang Tinglan's attitude is so clear, he can only go one way to the end, and don't think about cutting tofu on both sides at all. If there are too many troubles left behind, and they will be investigated in the future, that will be the real trouble.
"Don't care about those people, they just don't have a backache when they stand and talk, if they don't look for trouble, how can they reflect their value."
While he was talking, someone suddenly ran in and said hurriedly: "Chief Yan, the president's urgent telegram." ”
Yan Xishan hurriedly took it and took a look, his eyes lit up suddenly, and after a few glances, he said with a smile: "The president is really wise, with this order, I have an idea." ”
It turned out that Zhang Tinglan gave Yan Xishan an order to forcibly emigrate, and the property of those nobles had been divided, leaving nothing for them.
If you are honest, you can get back half of your wealth, but there is a premise, that is, you must move to the mainland, and no more than 100 households are allowed in each city. In addition, those who are free can choose to emigrate, the government provides jobs, and education benefits are available for both generations.
Since it is somewhat difficult to develop the plateau, then simply move people out. In short, after taking control of the Far East and Central Asia, China's room for maneuver is also increasing, and the relocation of a million people from the plateau will disappear in an instant, just like trying to sprinkle pepper noodles.
As long as they are dispersed to various cities, after a generation or two, they will be completely assimilated. Life in the interior is always better than that on the plateau, and there are very few people who are willing to go back.
As for the remaining part of the people, most of them were former serfs, and after they were allocated a lot of land, livestock, and property, their lives would get better and better. Without the instigation of the upper echelons, you can eat enough and live a good life, as long as your brain is normal, you won't think about making trouble.
Yan Xishan also applauded the decision to move to the mainland, and immediately implemented it according to Zhang Tinglan's wishes. Whether the nobles and monks want to or not, there is only one choice between relocation and destruction. These people finally came to their senses and could only move away honestly.
When doing this, Yan Xishan also paid attention to the method, he started from the bottom first, and moved those small temples and small nobles first, after these people left. The foundation of the huge pyramid of power was broken, and the top nobles couldn't do it if they didn't want to leave, and in this way, Shili, which had been entrenched on the plateau for thousands of years, was broken.
Of course, this also has a side effect, that is, the population of the plateau has decreased, which is very detrimental to the border defense. But Zhang Tinglan doesn't care about this, there is no atomic bomb now, and any place connected to China's land must be careful, if you dare to fight China's wishful thinking, you will wait to lose even worse.
Just after the problems on the plateau became calmer, Zhang Tinglan hurried to implement another task, that is, to completely abolish the Far Eastern Empire and incorporate it into China's territory.
At the beginning, the Far Eastern Empire was just a painted skin, especially after the Russians revealed that the queen was fake, this game could not be played, and since it could not be played, it was simply incorporated into the Chinese territory as soon as possible.
Moreover, all the preparations at this time were almost complete, and after Li Jinglin's counterinsurgency action, the number of White Russians in the Far East had dropped to less than 500,000, and they were all old and weak, women and children. The number of Han Chinese has increased to three million, and such a huge manpower advantage can already guarantee that there will be no accidents.
The entire Far East is divided into three parts, that is, three provinces, east of Lake Baikal and up to the Mohe line, called Beihai Province, with Chita as the provincial capital. The Mohe River to the east, until the west of the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, is called Xing'an Province, and the provincial capital is located in Hailan Pao. As for the remaining area east of the Ussuri River, it was classified as Dongjiang Province, and the provincial capital was located in Vladivostok.
With the establishment of the three provinces, China's territory has increased by more than 1 million square kilometers, and the whole country has suddenly rejoiced, and the newspapers have repeatedly reported on the wealth of these provinces and encouraged immigration to develop them.
Then there was an upsurge of migration to the north of China, which was indeed the case, and these places were full of forests, fertile land, and large mineral deposits underground. Gold, in particular, is a good thing that people are obsessed with, and going to the Far East to pan for gold has become the most fashionable topic.
As long as you dare to take risks and get rich overnight, it is definitely not a myth, this temptation is no less than drugs, more and more people are running north, and the wave of immigration led by this craze has completely consolidated the control of the Far East. (To be continued......)
