In recent years, Outer Mongolia has declared independence and lost the financial support of the central government, and these high-level magnates can only desperately loot the herdsmen.

These herders have little property in their hands, and with winter approaching, many of them have no food to eat at home, nor enough firewood and forage. This means that after the sudden snowfall, a large number of herders will freeze to death, which is a ghost gate.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan put forward the idea of a new deal, and all the herdsmen were bright-eyed, and they did not dare to expect too much, but only to be able to exploit less, so that they would not starve to death and freeze to death, which was already a great favor.

"The government has carefully studied the situation in Mongolia, and has also communicated with the princes of various temples, and all their pasture cattle and sheep are nationalized by the government in the form of redemption, and then distributed equally to everyone, so as to ensure that each herdsman family can have their own pasture and have their own cattle and sheep."

After Zhang Tinglan finished saying this, the audience suddenly fell silent, and it took two or three minutes before some herdsmen who knew Chinese reacted.

Allocate ranch! Distribute cattle and sheep! In the past, it was simply unthinkable, these were originally the lifeblood of the temples and princes, and they would never let go, but now after the Fengjun arrived in the grassland, they actually wanted to distribute these things to ordinary herdsmen, could it be that the sun came out of the west?

"The duty of the government is to promote the good and eliminate the bad, truly serve the people, and seek the well-being of everyone. It is the mission of the government in the future to break the control of the princes and monks over the pastures, so that the herdsmen can truly become the masters of the land, and let everyone truly become rich. Please rest assured. Your lives are only getting better! ”

This news is no less than a bombshell, and it smashed into everyone's hearts. When the remaining princes heard that their pasture cattle and sheep were to be deprived, it was as if the sky had fallen. They had the heart to stand up against it, but when they saw the soldiers on both sides with loaded guns, they all obediently shut their mouths.

In fact, thanks to the ruthless Bordo Khan, he killed the most influential princes in Outer Mongolia, and the rest of the people were a bunch of rice buckets, and they didn't dare to stand up at all. At this time, those lamas were all dead again, and there was no liliang left to resist Zhang Tinglan's reform measures.

Of course, ordinary herders can't think of this. All they know is that they can have pasture, and they have the hope of pursuing a prosperous life. When it comes to zuihou in this world, it always has to fall on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and only real benefits can move people's hearts.

Originally, there was some rejection of the Feng army. But after hearing the news, they really felt that it was not bad to let Fengjun manage the grassland. Of course, these herders still have doubts. I just don't know what this policy will be. Can it be implemented?

Zhang Tinglan also paid attention to this matter, he said the big thing, if he didn't do it well, it would not only affect his reputation, but also endanger the entire Outer Mongolia strategy, Zhang Tinglan definitely couldn't afford this failure.

Just after he returned to the city of Cullen. Another group of officials came from Fengtian, all of whom were carefully selected by Wang Yongjiang, and experts in internal affairs, the most important of which were Wang Shuhan, Zeng Youyi, and Guan Haiqing.

Wang Shuhan was originally in charge of Fengtian's finances. Also the overseer silver number. Zhang Tinglan snatched the official silver number into his own hands, found that there was a huge deficit in it, and arrested Wang Shuhan.

After some investigation, it was found that Wang Shuhan did have some problems, but basically he was forced to be helpless, in the face of the corrupt Fengtian government, coupled with the oppression of the Japanese, he had no more options, and it was inevitable that he would go with the flow. And after investigation, it was found that Wang Shuhan can basically be called honest.

In the past two years, after Wang Yongjiang was in charge of finance, he hired Wang Shuhan as a consultant, and he can be regarded as reforming himself, and things are doing very well. Now that he wants to govern Outer Mongolia, Wang Yongjiang sent him over. In addition, Zeng Youyi is an expert in economic construction, participated in the planning of railways and highways in the three eastern provinces, and has a strong ability to do things. As for Guan Haiqing, he is a well-known scholar who advocates the development of culture and education and the cultivation of talents.

The three of them have their own strengths, and they were sent to Outer Mongolia together, which is just the perfect match. After Zhang Tinglan saw them, he said with a smile: "Three gentlemen, if you want to completely control Outer Mongolia, it is an inevitable choice to carry out drastic reforms. I think there are three important tasks that must be accomplished: the equal distribution of pastures, the construction of transportation, and the development of culture and education. ”

"Handsome and wise!" Wang Shuhan said with a smile: "When we came, we had already drafted a jihua, and the equal division of the pasture was the core of everything, and we had to take the redemption jihua proposed by the marshal." The pasture was bought from the hands of the prince, but this money could not be directly handed over to the prince, but the most developed funds in Mongolia, which was equivalent to an investment, and the prince could only enjoy the benefits. ”

Zhang Tinglan carefully looked at Wang Shuhan's action strategy, and he was still extremely satisfied. Zeng Youyi also said: "After the pasture is divided equally, the number of cattle and sheep in the grassland will definitely increase, and a large number of minerals will also be developed, and the development of transportation will become an inevitable choice." At present, the basic trunk line of the railway of the three eastern provinces has been there, and I jihua has drawn a railway from the north and south of the three eastern provinces, and the southern line connects Chengde, Zhangjiakou and Guisui together, so that it has almost formed a railway line parallel to the Great Wall, firmly controlling Inner Mongolia in our hands, and we can also transfer important industries along the railway line and expand the scale of industry, which is a good thing. ”

The construction of railways has always been to consider all aspects of conditions, Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan have just been brought under control, and Liliang, which is controlled by the Feng army, is still seriously insufficient, and a railway is needed to be crossed. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan has long noticed that the three eastern provinces are too close to Japan, and if the industry is too concentrated, it will bring unforeseen consequences, so it is also an inevitable choice to extend to Inner Mongolia and even the northwest.

"Dashuai, the railway of the northern line is drawn from Changchun, connecting Taonan, and repairing directly to Kulun. The main role of this railway is in the military aspect, which can realize the rapid transportation of troops, not only to deal with possible contingencies in Outer Mongolia, but also to offset the advantages of the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway. ”

"Well, it's a good idea to bring in unemployed herders when it's being built. Give them jobs and improve their living conditions. After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he said to Guan Haiqing with a smile: "The first two are all about managing the stomach, if you want people to have a job and eat well, you have to pay attention to the problem of your brain." ”

"Dashuai Shengming, Outer Mongolia has been separated from morality for many years, and it has become very important to clean up people's hearts, and it is necessary to set up schools and give ordinary herdsmen's children the opportunity to learn. It's not just about being able to change their fate. It can also accelerate the realization of sinicization. Moreover, with the recent death of a large number of lamas, the people of Outer Mongolia have lost their spiritual sustenance, which is a good time for scientific propaganda. It is completely possible to select a science team from the University of Mukden to come and teach. Propagate cultural knowledge and control the position of cultural propaganda. ”

"The hardest thing to change is the philosophy of people. You have to do it carefully. Make adequate preparations and strive to completely change the situation in Outer Mongolia. ”

After everyone discussed properly, the new policies of Outer Mongolia were implemented, first of all, the scope of the pasture was checked, according to the calculation, about 100 acres of pasture per family can be obtained. You can also get twenty sheep, as well as some tent farming tools.

In the steppe, there used to be a large number of destitute herders, who had nothing. They could only live by herding sheep in the monasteries of the princes, and they were often beaten and starved all year round, basically like slaves. From having nothing, to owning large pastures, and having herds of cattle and sheep, these people simply don't know how to express their emotions.

They lay on the ground, kept kowtowing, and some even found a photo of Zhang Tinglan from the newspaper, cleaned up the shrine at home, and then bowed up respectfully, the original Buddha only told them to worship, and then took away a copper plate from their hands.

Now the new "gods" not only don't want anything from them, but on the contrary, they also assign pastures to them, so that for the first time they can really see the hope of life. These herdsmen were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and the whole grassland was filled with laughter.

These herdsmen also heard that in the new year, the grasslands will implement more policies, build roads, develop mines, and establish schools, so that their children can go to school, which was a treatment that only the aristocracy could enjoy, and now everyone has the opportunity.

In addition, there will be hospitals, post offices, electric lights, running water, etc. on the grassland, and you should experience what modern life is called on the grassland. These new policies have allowed herders to finally dare to dream of a better life, but they don't need those gods and Buddhas, they can live better, and when they encounter difficulties, the government is often more effective than the lamas.

After Wang Shuhan learned about the situation of the grassland, he proposed that although the pasture and cattle and sheep were divided, the cold winter was approaching, and most herdsmen still could not cope with this winter. Therefore, Wang Shuhan asked Fengtian to bring a large number of daily necessities to supply the herdsmen's daily life.

Even if you don't have any money, you can advance a loan from the bank in advance to purchase what you need. With this measure, not many people will starve to death this winter, and the government is indeed more effective than the gods and Buddhas!

Just when the Feng army was fully implementing the new policy, Wu Kaijie also returned to Kulen, he was ordered to chase after Engean and his gang, and pursued them until Kyakhta, an important town on the Sino-Russian border, before they all wiped out Engean's gang, and the bloody baron was also killed by the Feng army, and the White Russian army that invaded Outer Mongolia was completely annihilated.

For the entire border line, it is still quite shocking, those Russian military leaders who look down on China finally know how powerful China is, and they all restrain their subordinates and are not allowed to attack and disturb the Chinese border, while causing trouble.

Wu Kaijie led his army to patrol the border, expelled all the White Russians who had infiltrated China, built a number of new border posts, left sufficient defensive forces, and did everything before he returned to Kulen in triumph.

"The Feng army has never suffered losses, the Russians have invaded Outer Mongolia, we have to give them a little color, and the Feng army will also break out of the national border and promote the Far East!"

As soon as these Fengjun generals in Kulun City heard Zhang Tinglan say this, the big guys knew that they were going to really throw off their arms and interfere in Russia, so they were all gearing up, fighting with the domestic warlords, not only damaging their reputation, but also not interesting, the real opponents of the Feng army were the great powers, as long as the influence of the great powers was eliminated, it would not be difficult to unify the whole country.

"To put it mildly, I'm in favor of sending troops, but we'd better figure out what our own family is, otherwise it's not good to do it rashly. In addition, winter is coming soon, and the Far East is not suitable for war, so we are taking advantage of this winter to prepare for an attack! Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"That's right, since the dispatch of troops to rescue Rehe, many months have passed, and the machines obtained from Germany should also be put into production one after another, I am full of expectations for the industry of the three eastern provinces, only when the industry develops, we dare to argue with the powers."

Zhang Tinglan temporarily handed over the affairs of Outer Mongolia to Jiang Dengxuan and Wang Shuhan to deal with, and he returned to Fengtian with Yang Yuting and others. (To be continued......)
