Chapter 240: A New Chapter
But two countries were excepted, Tsarist Russia and Japan.
On the Tsarist side, the Yongguo government did not recognize a series of unequal treaties signed by the Manchus, and demanded that Russia return to the Yongguo east of Lake Balkhash and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, but of course these Tsarist Russia did not agree. As a result, Yongguo did not establish diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia. It's just a mutual office.
The same is true of the Japanese side, Yongguo asked the Japanese side to return T, Lushun, Korea, and the area south of Sakhalin, but of course Japan did not agree, so the establishment of diplomatic relations was not over.
There was no other way to get land from gluttonous countries like Tsarist Russia and Japan than to spit them out.
After Qingdao was conquered, Germany finally established diplomatic relations with Yongguo, which was thousands of miles away, facing a unified and powerful regime.
In the autumn of the 2nd year of Taiping (10), the Yongguo Kingdom basically liberated the entire northern region, but it still faced some problems.
Zhu Fei's butcher's knife is very fast, which is also the reason why Wang Yong handed over the western region to him to deal with, this place is not clean, there will be chaos in the future, for the members of the same sect who converted to the Green Religion, Zhu Fei killed the male diehards among them, and was willing to give up all the faith and disperse, ready to go to the northeast region for reclamation. This is especially true in XJ Province, where all the religious males are killed, and not a single one is left.
When the prestige of Zhu Sha's head came, a large number of green cultists fled all the way from Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinqing to Tsarist Russia.
After all the killings, Wang Yong asked Zhu Fei and the Fourth Army to continue to defend the west, and at the same time organized religious believers into slaves to build roads and railways from Xi'an to XJ, and did not deal with the area east of Lake Balkhash controlled by Tsarist Russia for the time being.
In the central region, it went well at first, but there was a problem when it reached Uriya Sutai, and the Russian army came in, declaring Outer Mongolia to be an independent country, and the two armies tacitly stopped along the central part of Uriya Sutai.
What Wang Yong wants to kill now is Japan, and as for Tsarist Russia, he can let it go first.
Inner Mongolia was changed to Monan Province, and the provincial capital was returned to Sui.
Kill the rebellious Mongol nobles and troops, as well as the rebel masses who do not know the truth.
At the same time, the 8th Jebtsundamba was also killed, which caused more riots.
But in the face of a modernized army, this only means a more thorough purge. After the purge, there was not one out of ten Mongolian men.
At the same time, Han herders were introduced into the area.
At the same time, Wang Yong implemented a nationwide family planning policy for ethnic minorities, in which fewer people were allowed to have more than two children, and the newly established local health centers were directly sterilized, and those who exceeded were directly exiled. Exile means exiling males directly outside the borders, currently mainly west of XJ and west of Nam Ye Province, and shot and killed once re-entered.
Zhang Zhen sat in Guisui and did these things very well, meticulously and deadly.
In the northern region, Wang Yong did not implement land reform, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, which were liberated later. The former is because the land reform is only a small-scale peasant economy, which can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and nothing else is useful, and the latter is because the local light industry can absorb a large number of labor forces in the future.
Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces mobilized the masses and were willing to go to the peasants of Jiaozhi, Annam, Nam Ye and Bagan provinces, and the government organized a unified organization to go and distribute 40 acres of land, as well as farm tools, houses and even wives.
It alleviates the contradiction between people and land in this region, considering the climatic conditions of Southeast Asia, and the diet is not something they can adapt to in a short time. But when I heard that there were forty acres of land and my wife, there were still many people who went.
It is also a good thing to disrupt the distribution of people from the north and south in the newly occupied provinces, to facilitate communication throughout the country and to curb local separatism and local antagonism.
After liberating Shandong and Zhili provinces, the central government moved the capital of Shandong Province to Qingdao, renamed Zhili Hebei, and set up the provincial capital in Tianjin.
Of course, Jiang Baili, with the cooperation of the officials assigned by the central government, carried out a thorough purge of the original Beijing Division, killed many old and young people, confiscated all their property, cut off the roots of the Manchu men, and renamed the Beijing Division Jibei.
And then there's the Northeast.
The situation here is very complicated, with Japan in front and Tsarist Russia in the back, and Japan has long been prepared to send a steady stream of heavy troops in this place, although they have given up the attack on the southeast coast, but they will never give up on these areas that they have gained since the Meiji era.
This is destined to be a very difficult war.
But it is also a war that must be waged.
To alleviate the contradiction between man and land in the north, a large part is to look at the northeast and solve the future energy problem of Yongguo, and before the navy is developed, it can only ask for it from the northeast or even further north.
So this battle must be fought.
The Second Army rested for a while, waiting for the assembly of the Third and First Armies.
This year, except for the frequent wars in the north, the other liberated areas have developed very well, and the national industry and commerce, as well as the state-owned enterprises, have made a lot of progress, and are constantly opening up new fields.
Overseas Chinese have also gone to Yongguo to invest, set up factories, build schools, and contribute to the growth of Yongguo.
Tan Kah Kee was one of them, who was originally a member of the League and joined the People's Party when it was successful. This is certainly not because he is speculating, but because he supports whoever can overthrow the Qing Dynasty on behalf of the Han Chinese.
Wang Yong received him in the newly built Weiyang Palace.
The entire royal office is located here, opposite the House of Representatives, the Senate, the government, the courts, and so on.
But Wang Yong does not live here, but lives in his own space, and with the increasing strength and power of Wang Yong, the prototype of a small world has gradually formed.
"Jiageng, you have played a big role in the establishment of Yongguo, helping to raise funds in Nanyang and stabilizing the situation in Fujian." Wang Yong said with a smile.
"This is what I should do as a member of the BJP." Chen Jiageng said modestly.
Although Wang Yong is called the king, he has abolished the original etiquette, and he is no different from the presidents of other countries.
In terms of inheritance, he made it clear that he would no longer have the position of king in the future.
"The schools in Jimei are also doing well, the state encourages private schools, public and public are good, and private schools are also private. Your contribution is enough for the next knighthood. ”
"Then I'm still far behind, compared to those heroes who recreated China, I still have a lot of shortcomings."
Wang Yong waved his hand.
"When Your Majesty will be able to liberate Malaysia and Singapore, we Chinese are looking forward to the arrival of the Yongjun army day and night. Although we are basically not at risk of being slaughtered after the Yongguo signed a treaty with the British, we still hope to become citizens of the Yongguo. Chen Jiageng said urgently.
Wang Yong nodded: "This matter is definitely happening sooner or later, but we have to wait for the opportunity, our main target now is Japan and Russia, and Britain maintains world trade, and we still have to maintain relations with them." ”
Chen Jiageng nodded: "I know that Yongguo Xinxing has set up Jiaozhi, Annam, Nanye, and Bagan provinces in Nanyang since its establishment, and we have seen hope, and we have been waiting for so many years, and it is not at this time." ”
"Hmm." Although Wang Yong also wants to liberate the South Seas, after all, he has to come step by step: "Yongguo's current naval strength is too weak and does not have the conditions for a full-scale war with Britain. ”
