Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Policy Introduced by Conscription
The sky had begun to open up, and more and more people had gathered in front of the bulletin boards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSome people who had already exchanged supplies for food ran back to the bulletin board to watch. Of course, they don't come to the queue to get food again, and the people who travel through the crowd stipulate that the amount of food that each person can exchange for food every day is fixed, and this quota system can allow more people to exchange for food and make ends meet.
Those who did not leave after receiving food were, of course, interested in recruitment. Although the traversers will exchange food for supplies every day, there are many people who can't stand the exchange for food, and there are always many people who bring materials but can't exchange them for food. If it weren't for the fact that the patrols that crossed the crowd did not allow the natives to spend the night in the open space outside the base, it is estimated that many people would have lined up there all night to wait for food exchanges.
If there is no food, the whole family has to eat some grass roots and wild vegetables. But now it's winter, and even wild vegetables are hard to find, so many people can't get food so they have to endure it hungry, looking forward to tomorrow when they cross the crowd and collect the materials in their hands, and they have to pray to get the number.
Now there is an opportunity to get 100 catties of fine grain every month to ensure the harvest in drought and flood, who is not tempted?
"Third master, what did you say when the security army joined the Great Song Dynasty?" An onlooker asked.
"It says above, aged 18 to 40 years old, in good health, no bad habits, regardless of nationality can sign up." Ma San roughly explained the conditions for recruitment.
"Third master, we countrymen don't understand the crepe words, you are tired, tell us about it." Someone else said.
"If you are over eighteen years old, not more than forty years old, have complete hands and feet, do not smoke opium, and do not have syphilis and abscesses and rotten cocks, you can sign up regardless of Manchurian." Ma San's statement is intuitive enough.
Ma San's words caused the people below to laugh non-stop, and everyone was talking about which people were not even qualified to sign up. Ma San silently wrote down many names in his heart, some were big smokers, and some had been sick before. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have time to write it down, he has a small gadget in his arms, which the director of the road calls a "voice recorder", and when he turns around, he can slowly play back what these people have said, and then he slowly records it with a pen to make a daily intelligence summary.
"Third master, if someone dies in the army or has crippled hands and feet, can you have money to burn and bury and pensions?" Finally someone asked about the point of the point.
"The burning and burying money of the dead is 500 catties of fine grain, and the family has old people, and the Great Song Dynasty supports the elderly to the end, and there are children who are raised by the Great Song Dynasty until they are eighteen years old. If you have crippled hands and feet, Da Song will arrange some light work for you to support your family. Ma San briefly talked about the pension system.
If you want to say that the salary is okay, then the death and disability pension of the Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as generous. If you are gone, and give you more money, will the orphans and widows in your house keep it? In this era, there is a bad habit of eating "out of the house", and relatives and neighbors will really come to share the wealth of this family without a pillar of support.
But if the Great Song Chrysostom said that he would support the elderly and raise children, then no one would dare to do this, and if you are not afraid of swinging, you can try it. This condition is really generous, and of course, the traversal is really not afraid to fulfill it. In the early stage, the security army was a security guard, where did the heavy casualties come from. Even if someone is unfortunately injured and killed, it is very rare, and it is completely within the range of what the crossing crowd can bear, although this kind of check is very large, but the chance of cashing it is very rare. As for gaining a larger sphere of influence in the later period, after the completion of industrialization, this is really not a problem.
"Third master, is it really a Manchurian? I didn't run outside the border, but I was a person from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. One of the natives asked cautiously.
"Yo, look at the way you speak, what are you afraid of? The Great Song Dynasty is a Chinese nation regardless of the Manchu and Han dynasties, all ethnic groups are equal, there is no privileged nation, and there is no inferior nation. I'm still a yellow flag, and I'm not from the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone this security army. "Ma San is starting to get nervous again.
This policy has also been debated for a long time. However, the national policy has always been introduced, and it is an unavoidable bend to recover the frontier territories that have been invaded and occupied by Tsarist Russia. In the end, this policy of the Great Chinese nation won a large number of votes, and in short, all ethnic groups enjoyed the same rights and obligations politically, and the traditions of all ethnic groups were preserved in terms of customs and habits.
For hundreds of years, the Manchus, as the ruling class, sucked the blood of the Han people frantically, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also introduced many artificial policies to create ethnic contradictions, such as the non-intermarriage between Manchus and Hans. The traversal people plan to use the big stick of the Great Chinese nation to smash these unreasonable systems in one fell swoop, and in the future, there will only be the Great Chinese people politically.
In fact, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Manchus had fled the Manchu city that had encircled them to engage in industrial and agricultural production. The Qing government's increasingly scarce finances could no longer sustain its original policy of not allowing Manchus to make a living. The Manchus at the bottom had long since supported themselves with labor and intermarried with the Han Chinese. Only some die-hard elements in Beiping City are still obsessed with the glorious past, continue to mess around, and do not know how to make a living after selling the property left by their ancestors.
Many people are worried that after the Manchurians have mixed in with the team of the Crossing Crowd and seized power, they will carry out a counterattack. Zhao Yi said that the policy is just a policy, and it will take a long time to fully implement and implement it in place, and in the specific operation, it can be treated flexibly, and before the Qing government is completely destroyed, it is impossible for the Manchurians to get much real power. However, in terms of policies and regulations, it must be clearly written in black and white that all ethnic groups belong to the Great Chinese nation and enjoy the same rights and obligations, and the tone must be set in this way, and equality is the key to national unity.
When the Qing government is gone, it is a foregone conclusion that the Great Song Dynasty will take over the world, and there will be a few Manchus who will let go of a stable life and go to the restoration, after all, the upper Manchus are a minority.
During the hundreds of years when the Manchus ruled China, out of the protection of the land of Longxing, they basically implemented a policy of strictly restricting the passage of Han Chinese. Except for those who arrived with the Beiyang Navy, the Han people on the Liaodong Peninsula all escaped the war in the customs and went out without permission. The number of Manchus outside the Guanwai was greater than that of the Han in this era.
Even if the British support was to break the Japanese blockade of Liaodong in the future, it would not be possible to change the current state of the Manchu-Han population ratio in Liaodong overnight.
Assimilating those Manchus living at the bottom is the countermeasure to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and this is the big move to break the Qing government's barrier to Manchu and Han antagonism in order to maintain its rule. Without these low-level Manchus, who account for the majority in numbers, what kind of storm can a few Manchu nobles make? Relying on those red and yellow belts of Lord Belle, it is enough to gather a royal guard, let alone talk about any counteroffensive.
How many ordinary Manchus would give up their prosperous and stable lives to fight against those Manchu nobles to restore the glory of yesterday?
