Chapter 169: Militia

The Manchu abdication, the Republic of China government promised to give preferential treatment to the Manchu royal family, Xiao Puyi continued to live in Beijing, and the property of the Eight Banners nobles was also greatly preserved.

Moreover, the three eastern provinces were the land of Longxing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and many Manchus had always had a worry that they would be driven out of the Central Plains by the Han Chinese, so they purchased real estate, stored gold and silver, and built manors outside the customs as a way out.

Zhang Tinglan asked his subordinates to take the list provided by Pu Wei and search the house everywhere, and as the search deepened, the results found became more and more amazing. Take Xiuyan as an example, most of the most famous jade mines were in the hands of the Manchu nobles, and the largest share of them was the Qing prince Yikuang of the former Qing Dynasty, accounting for more than half.

This old guy was known for his greed and stupidity in the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty, but the reality is often beyond people's estimates, and the old thing's hand is longer than imagined, and he has caught more things.

In addition, the largest landlord in Xiuyan is Bi Shun, who took the lead in besieging the county seat, known as Bi Qiye, who controls more than forty percent of the county's land, and is the number one landlord, and there are as many as five manors alone. Of course, Xiuyan is still relatively remote, except for jade mines, there are not too many specialties, and in other regions, the wealth of the Eight Banners nobles is even more amazing.

"To put it mildly, the big man has ordered a comprehensive search of Fengtian according to the list, there is too much oil and water in it, not only the big handsome, but Wu Da Tongue even ran back to Taonan from Chifeng, and confiscated several horse farms in a hurry!"

Zhang Tinglan was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Lingge, in such a remote place as Taonan, are there still people from the Eight Banners who take a fancy to it?" ”

"Of course there is, people are known as riding and archery, and it's not strange to get some horse farms, and in addition to the Eight Banners. Isn't there a Mongolian prince, they also have a horse farm in that area, who can miss this opportunity to make a fortune, not only Wu Junsheng, but even Feng Delin, who has always been at odds with the handsome, also joined in, he took Jinzhou, Guangning The Eight Banners also confiscated the house, and also made a fortune. ”

In fact, many Mongolian princes also joined the Zongshe Party, and Babu Zabu was a member of the Zongshe Party who was killed by Zhang Tinglan, and there were also many Mongolian princes in the list that Zhang Tinglan asked Pu Wei to confess. It's just that Shili and Fengtian can't go deep into Mongolia, so they can only let go of these Mongolian princes first and concentrate on Liliang to win the Eight Banners of Nobles.

Several of the leaders of the Feng army were all bandits, and this kind of raiding homes and destroying people was familiar with it, and they did it easily. What's more, when I caught Shanqi and Seungyoon. I had already done it once, but at that time, Lao Zhang was not the master of Fengtian. Therefore, it is inevitable that it will get in the way.

The situation is completely different now. After Lao Wang came to power, the first banner he played was to clear the acres of land, and he did not hesitate to wage war with the entire landlord class in order to solve the financial crisis in Fengtian.

However, Qingzhang Tianmu is doing no matter how good it is. It is not as refreshing as directly confiscating the land and property, the nobles of the Eight Banners are the largest landlord class in Fengtian, and they are involved in a major case of treason, and it is natural to confiscate the land. The land was divided equally among the landless tenant farmers.

The sudden change from tenant farmers to yeoman farmers, they pay more taxes and their spending power has also increased, which is a huge good thing for Mukden's economy, and at the same time, it can also alleviate the financial dilemma.

It is precisely because of this benefit that Wang Yongjiang is the top priority in this case, and he has brought together the investigation of the Qingzhang Tianmu and the investigation of the case, even if the Manchu landlords who are not involved, they must honestly obey the orders of the Qingzhang Bureau and truthfully report the amount of land, otherwise they can deduct a treason hat at any time and go to the prison to eat the nest, which no one can stand.

Of course, as long as these people are obedient and obedient, Wang Yongjiang will not be too embarrassed by them, after all, everyone understands the truth of grasping the big and letting go of the small, and the main energy is still on those big fish, it turns out that the yellow and red belts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been seriously impacted, who called them the fattest at hand.

"To put it mildly, in just a few days, the floating wealth copied by the big marshal has exceeded five million oceans, and the number of real estate and fields is countless.

"It's a little little, I estimate that the floating wealth of these people is more than one or two million, they have been parasites for two or three hundred years, and the accumulation in their hands is definitely more than a few million!"

"It's true that there are more than a few million, but most of the people have deposited their money in foreign banks, and we don't know the exact amount, and those well-informed guys either ran to the Manchurian Railway Annex, or to the Luda, and some went directly to Beijing, and all we can get is land and houses."

"You can't let them go so cheaply, I think this kind of thing should be done as a long-term task, first put these guys on the wanted list, as soon as they emerge from the hiding place, we will catch them, and then torture them strictly, don't squeeze out their bone marrow oil, and never let go."

When Yang Yuting heard this, he also gave Zhang Tinglan two thumbs up, in fact, Zhang Zuolin and Wang Yongjiang searched their homes, and they still had the intention of grabbing a vote, in order to get through the difficulties in front of them. Who knew that Zhang Tinglan would treat this kind of thing as a long-term business, but I was afraid that in the future, these Eight Banner nobles would have a guillotine hanging on their heads, and they would fall down at any time, and most of them would be restless and frightened day and night.

"Humble words, aren't you afraid that people will say that you are black-hearted?"

"What are you afraid of, after the Manchurians enter the customs, they don't produce, the whole thing is a parasite, the land and wealth they have accumulated are not theirs at all, but how many Han people's fat and people's ointment, every son is with blood and tears. Now get this money out of their hands, let's build factories, build railways, and develop armaments, these are all good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and we are actually helping those Eight Banner nobles to atone for their sins. ”

"Humble words, now I understand that the handsome man is really discerning!"

"What do you mean, neighbor?"

"Just now, the marshal conveyed an order and appointed Zhang Shuyan as the Liaonan Qing investigation envoy, responsible for investigating the family property of the Manchu nobles involved in the case, not only Xiuyan, but also Yingkou, Haicheng, Zhuanghe, Dandong, Fengcheng and other places are under your control, and the marshal means that you will squeeze out the wealth of the children of the Eight Banners."

In fact, it is only a matter of one sentence when it comes to clean-up, but it is very difficult to operate, and in the case of land, the cultivated land that has been developed in Mukden is about 40 million mu. Among them, the nobles of the Eight Banners occupy more than 20 million mu, the most fertile of them, more than half of the total.

In southern Liaoning and other places, there are at least millions of acres of land, and if you want to figure these things out, you need to do a lot of work, and you don't have to figure it out in a few months, or even a year. And it also involves follow-up matters, even if the land is confiscated, how to solve it next is a trouble.

Due to the large amount of land, it is impossible to simply distribute it to the common people. Lao Zhang's appointment of Zhang Tinglan as an envoy to the inventory was actually to use his flexible mind to maximize the value of these lands and make an exploration for other areas of Fengtian.

Of course, this is only a purpose, and Lao Zhang also let Zhang Tinglan take root in southern Liaoning. Form a constraint on Marlong Pond. The Zongsha Party has so many armed forces on this side that it even tries to attack the county seat. Restoration of Manchukuo. As a result, Ma Longtan was not aware of it at all, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

As the envoy of the eastern province town, he has a lot of responsibility, Lao Zhang is just able to put his hand in justifiably, Zhang Tinglan is like a wedge, straight into southern Liaoning. Lao Zhang's scope of control can also be greatly expanded.

And there is a more important point, in southern Liaoning, not only the Zongshe Party is making trouble, but also the revolutionary party is also tossing, and the danger is no less than that of the Zongshe Party. The children of the Eight Banners are all a bunch of rice buckets. However, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes among the revolutionary party, and there are many talented people who have studied in Japan, and their slogans are even more inflammatory, which should not be underestimated.

Southern Liaoning is close to Lushun and Dalian, the strongholds of the Japanese, and the local situation is complicated, and I am afraid that only Zhang Tinglan can cope with this situation.

In less than a day, all the armed forces of the Sect and Socialist Party inside and outside the county town were wiped out, and he also caught such a big fish as Pu Wei, and almost wiped out the Sect and Socialist Party in southern Liaoning, and also mastered conclusive evidence to turn the matter into an iron case.

The high efficiency and speed are lightning fast, and the Zong Socialist Party is a dog raised by the Japanese, and if they want to maim them, the Japanese will absolutely not sit idly by. However, this time the Feng army moved too quickly, and the armed liliang of two or three thousand people did not even make a single movement, and it was over.

By the time the Japanese reacted, the Feng army had already begun to confiscate the family property of these Manchu widows, and the Japanese could only try to shelter some important people, but the family property of these guys was also lost.

The Japanese also came forward to put pressure on Mukden, criticizing Lao Zhang's barbaric behavior, and even did not hesitate to use the threat of force, of course they would not tolerate a dog just disappearing.

However, Zhang Tinglan was also prepared, he asked Pu Wei to explain the collusion with the Japanese, and then he poked these materials to European and American newspapers. Now the United States, Britain and other countries have fried the pot, and the Japanese can demarcate the Shili range in the Northeast, but they must not allow Japan to blatantly split China, and if it continues like this, the Northeast will not become a Japanese colony.

The United States, in particular, has been even more furious, and they have issued a serious warning to Japan that they will not be allowed to upset the balance in the Pacific Ocean, and if they insist on going their own way, they will bear the consequences.

In the face of sudden diplomatic pressure, the Japanese also panicked, and had no energy to take care of these Eight Banner nobles, so they could only let the army fish and meat. Seeing such a good dog being slaughtered and skinned by the Fengjun, and then thrown into the pot to cook, Zhang Zuolin drank the fragrant dog broth, but the hearts of the Japanese were dripping blood, and years of hard work were in vain.

After Zhang Tinglan was appointed, he carefully thought about the current situation and discussed it carefully with Yang Yuting.

"Mr. Lingge, when we come to Liaonan, the main task is to exterminate the rebellion of the revolutionary party. However, the Zongshe Party emerged first, and I think we might as well change our strategy, not to lure the snake out of the hole, but to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, in the name of searching for the Zongshe Party, knocking on the revolutionary party, forcing them all to concentrate in Zhuanghe, and then bulldozing them in one fell swoop, eliminating the two major tumors in southern Liaoning. ”

"The idea is good, but I'm still a little worried, we don't have enough troops, this time we only brought a regiment, less than 3,000 people, if we want to control the place, we have to deal with the revolutionary party, and we have to guard against the Japanese, how many nails are beaten with iron?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Neighbor, I have already thought of a way, that is, to use the militia to control the place, this time we confiscated so much land, we have to distribute it to the people, we can't let them get it for nothing, right?" ”

Yang Yuting nodded: "Indeed, if you give it to the people for nothing, they don't know how to cherish it, and the handsome asked you to serve as this inventory envoy, in fact, you want to find a more Haode way to use the land." ”

"I am going to refer to the disaster relief method formulated for the victims of Liaoyang, let all the people work for five years, pay the government the funds to buy land, and then the land will belong to them, this ransom can be paid in addition to food, it can also be compensated for with working hours, being a militia is also an option, and the working hours of the militia are counted as twice as many as ordinary workers, how do you say the people will choose?"
