Chapter 251, Colonization, There Must Be a New Social Structure!
"Your Majesty, large-scale migration and immigration is not easy to talk about, if you don't do it well, you are afraid that there will be a lot of incidents, since ancient times, it has been a tradition to relocate to a safe land."
Lin Shizhong said.
Lin Shizhong, who is now a 75-year-old man, once served as a governor of Nanyang Prefecture and was responsible for the management of the Yellow River in this section.
During his tenure of twenty years.
There has never been a breakdown accident in the section of the river where it is located.
He has studied the governance of the river, and now he also attends the meeting as a special observer, which can be regarded as the "Yellow River adviser" of Emperor Zhu.
"Tradition also has to divide the time, and this is the foundation of the Yellow River, which requires the construction of flood control levees along the river, the setting up of flood channels, and the planting of trees to prevent soil erosion, all of which take up a lot of land." Zhu Daohua thought about the experience of later generations in controlling pornography and talked eloquently.
The fundamental way to prevent the Yellow River's bed from getting too high is to limit the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River.
As long as the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River is less, a large amount of sediment will be sent into the sea under the washing of drinking water, and the riverbed of the Yellow River can be gradually lowered, and the lower the riverbed, the higher the probability of flooding!
"I thought that if we want to govern the river, we must cure the root cause, and the matter of immigration to northern Liaobei can start by moving the people on both sides of the Yellow River first."
Zhu Daohua said.
"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to immigrate in the Central Plains, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Anhui and other places, there are many poor people who can't eat in their hometowns, so if you can open up the immigrants from Liaobei, you will be very enthusiastic!"
Speaking is another Qing Dynasty minister Huang Yue, a native of Wuhu, Anhui Province, is a well-known contemporary painter, and also served as an official in Henan.
Emperor Zhu had heard of him because he had obtained Huang Yue's calligraphy and painting in later generations, so he had some impressions of this Qing Dynasty minister.
Now that it has also entered the entrainment of Emperor Zhu, I am afraid that it will be of great use.
Now there are too many southerners and too few northerners in the Ming court.
This is not conducive to unity.
So now Emperor Zhu has also promoted a group of people from some northern literati and gentlemen in the former Qing Dynasty, and has also opened Enke in the north and set up the Northern Imperial Examination.
For Emperor Zhu.
He didn't really care much about who was more powerful, the southern officials or the northern officials.
Balancing the number of officials in various regions is actually a political issue.
This is the top priority related to whether Emperor Zhu's position under the ass can sit firmly.
"Your Majesty, there is already a lot of familiar land in Liaodong, as long as there are enough people, you can cultivate it at any time, the trouble is only the old forests in northern Liaobei and the swamps on both sides of the Songhua River, and it really takes a lot of effort to develop it."
Peng Jun, the governor of Liaodi, said.
"Today, there are 23 military tuns in Liaodong, each of which has about 300 households and a population of about 1,000 people."
"There are thirteen military camps in Vladivostok, and the scale is about the same."
After Zhu Daohua heard Peng Jun's report, he pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Liaodong and Vladivostok are relatively easy to develop, Liaodong was originally a familiar land, a place for farming, but the Qing court forbade the Han people to enter before it was abandoned, and Vladivostok is close to the sea, there is a sea to transport, so it is easy to gain a foothold, but if you want to go deep into Liaodi, this kind of military tun controlled by the guard, I am afraid it is not very suitable for the inland." ”
Peng Jun was thoughtful when he heard this, but Zhao Si on the side then asked: "Your Majesty, the Weisho Juntun is based on the clan as a link and the relationship between the same village and the same township, so what's wrong with being able to twist the strength of the big guy into a rope?" ”
Zhu Daohua shook his head when he heard this.
He certainly did not think that the structure was well organized.
Because in Zhu Daohua's opinion.
Although clan-style villages that rely on fellow villagers, clans, and blood ties to condense have the advantages of being easy to organize and convenient, they also have the disadvantages of being easy to close themselves off and exclude.
In other words.
In Liaodong, which the Ming Dynasty could firmly control, this kind of clan-style military tun could be established.
After all, there is no need to take on too many tasks for foreign conquest.
In Lanfang, the disadvantages of this kind of clan military camp have been revealed - the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in Borneo must rely on the army sent by the Ming court to drive out the local natives, otherwise just relying on those Jiaying Prefecture clans, I am afraid that in another one or two hundred years, they will not be able to occupy all Borneo.
And this is not something Zhu Daohua can afford to wait!
To colonize, it is necessary to break up the clans.
The resettlement of immigrants in the Northeast will be an experimental model for the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, in the South Seas, and in North America in the future.
In this way, we must learn the lessons of Borneo and create a Tuntian village that can manage itself, work collectively, and everyone can benefit from it, and everyone is willing to carry a gun to defend their own interests!
Such a village.
It's not something that the clan villages in the south can do.
"Lao Zhao, you have also worked hard in Nanyang, don't you know the disadvantages of relying on each other in the same clan? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't use it, if I didn't believe it, Lan Fang's big clan had always only recognized the Hakka people in Jiaying Prefecture, if it weren't for my use of force to conquer and establish authority with muskets, how could this scattered Lan Fang be twisted into a rope? ”
"Compared with Lanfang, the clan relationship here in the Central Plains is more complicated, and some clans have deep grievances with each other, and they fight at every turn, and there are also various sects and gangs that are intertwined! If we take the same township and the same clan as the link, it is equivalent to moving these contradictions to the northeast as they are. ”
"The coastal areas are okay, and if you go to Heilongjiang, there will be the remnants of the Qing Tartars and the infiltration forces of Tsarist Russia, and those clan villages can handle it? When the time comes, will the imperial court send a large army to protect it? Then the cost of this immigration drag is extremely high! ”
Zhu Daohua said, and a bright color appeared in his eyes.
He seems to have some ideas, and in his heart, the organizational form is definitely a hundred, a thousand times more effective than a clan-style village!
He remembered the later generations of the fifties and sixties. Collectivized mass production.
Collectivization of the countryside!
If a collectivized countryside where everyone has a "share" can be formed, and the collective farms integrating military and government can be used as the basis for the future social organization in Northeast China, then this collectivized society in Northeast China will also be a powerful cornerstone of the Ming Empire's external expansion in the future!
If thousands of collective farms appeared, the Ming army would be able to get millions of reserves and logistical supplies from them at any time.
The collective farms that are "particularly capable of fighting" should also become fortresses that are difficult to attack and become a model for colonization with Ming characteristics!
It's just that
How to run this collective farm in Zhu Daohua's mind.
It was just a vague thought in his head.
Specifically, it is certainly not possible to copy the rural collectivization of later generations.
Because that and collectivization methods cannot be profitable.
And what he decided in his heart was that the clan would definitely not be able to intervene in the colonial collective farms of the Ming Dynasty.
This collective farm must break up all the original social structures and organizations.
The original social ties and interests of all the peasants should be erased, and their core interests should be firmly bound to the collective farms.
Only by fighting for profit can such collective farms survive in northern Liaobei, in the South Seas, and in North America!
It is like a seed, a sharp knife, inserted into every corner of the world.
Although in Zhu Daohua's mind, the production capacity of the "collectivized countryside" is not necessarily stronger than that of the small-scale peasant economy of "dividing the fields into households."
But in combat effectiveness.
That would definitely destroy all clans, tribes, and serfdoms.
The ability to mobilize terror in later generations is clearly there.
So to colonize, to expand.
The rural structure of collectivized large-scale production is much better than that of the scattered clan villages.
After all.
Such a structure has been proven by history to be a particularly effective organizational structure – as evidenced by numerous invasions throughout history.
Come to think of it.
Zhu Daohua seems to have an idea.
He stood up and turned to look at the map spread out behind him.
Then he turned his head and said: "In the early stage, we will recruit a part of the people on both sides of the Yellow River as experimental sites, break up the structure of all clans and fellow villagers, I don't want a military camp united by blood clans, but a collectivized farm with real combat effectiveness!" ”
"In addition. I decreed that some officials who had experience in expanding borders in Borneo should be selected to enter Beijing with good health and health farmers, and I would like to learn from them! ”
Zhu Daohua said.
"Large-scale outward migration is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but how this people move, how to organize, how to self-manage in foreign lands, collective production, and fight together, still need to be well studied, and the clan cannot bear this responsibility, so. Foreign colonization, I don't want a clan, I want a clan that can be in the Western Regions, the South Seas, the Northeast, and Siberia. A new organizational model that can be applied even in North America! ”
