Great!" Zhang Yunfei happily took Zhao Gang's telegram and carefully read #Yue's moodless expression. (Professional provision

"I originally thought it would be a battle of burning boats, even if I win, it would be a tragic victory. Unexpectedly, the Russian fleet was unexpectedly divided into two parts, which gave us an opportunity to achieve an unprecedented victory." Zhang Yunfei said.

"The favor of God and your wise guidance have enabled us to achieve unprecedented victory!" Zhao Gang flattered.

"This time I'm just lucky!" Zhang Yunfei said, and it was still very helpful for Zhao Gang's flattery.

"Yuan is going to spend another time this time. Lin Jianzhang also said in the telegram that in order to implement Yuan's instructions, he successfully implemented a coordinated operation of 6 seas. The Pacific Fleet provided artillery support for the 6th Army when he captured Lushun and achieved great results. Lieutenant General Lin Jianzhang boasted about the contributions of their navy in the telegram!"

Zhao Gang said with a jealous look on his face, feeling sour, knowing that the Navy will receive a large number of commendations and a considerable number of bonuses as rewards this time.

But he didn't say anything, that is, Lin Jianzhang and Zhang Yunfei learned everything and looked at money. This can be seen from Lin Jianzhang's telegram for requests. Do you want to get any credit to the navy?

Zhang Yunfei saw Zhao Gang's thoughts and quipped, "Okay, don't be sour! I smelled it all! When you return to the country, you have to rely on the efforts of your 6th Army. The navy mainly fights foreign countries. You are both internal and external, and you are waiting for you for a lot of merits and bonuses?"

After saying that, Zhang Yunfei seemed to have thought of something again, and then gradually faded.

"There seems that something is so happy for you in Yuan?" Zhao Gang asked tentatively, thinking that Zhang Yunfei was unhappy when he saw that he was jealous.

Zhang Yunfei turned around and looked at the mountains in the north. Zhao Gang didn't understand what he meant, so he had to look north. After a while, Zhao Gang suddenly realized: "Is Yuan worried about the Russian military invasion?"

Zhang Yunfei nodded and replied: "Yes. We are overjoyed. Speaking familiarly, joy leads to sorrow. We have eliminated the Russian Far East Fleet. The Russians will not be indifferent. It is very likely that a large-scale military invasion will be invaded!"

"Yuan, don't worry. If the Russian army invades, our 6th Army will definitely fight to the battlefield with all its strength. Although the Russian army has a huge advantage in land quantity, we have the advantage of equipment and firepower. There is no problem in defending Fengtian Province." Zhao Gang patted his chest and promised.

"I believe that the 6th Army can defend the world of Fengtian. But what should I do in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces? There are so many people in the world. Once the war begins, they will be the most affected place!" Zhang Yunfei thought of the Chinese in this era, in the eyes of foreigners, who are like grass and kill at will.

"According to your instructions, the General Staff conducted a detailed investigation of the Fengtian area and surrounding provinces when they learned that you had taken over Fengtian Province."

"...The current population of the three northeastern provinces is more than 4 million. Among them, Fengtian Province accounts for 3.3 million people. Jilin Province has a population of about 500,000. Heilongjiang Province has the least population, less than 200,000. Moreover, the population of Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province is mostly concentrated in the provincial capitals of Jilin and Harbin. If you can, it is feasible to let them move to Fengtian area! Or we can also consider sending troops to help them defend the city!"

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Zhang Yunfei was stunned for a long time.

It took Zhang Yunfei a long time to come to his senses.

I secretly scolded myself for being stupid, why did I ignore the population changes in history?

Since the Qing army entered the pass, in order to consolidate the rear, the Qing court carried out an open genocide against the Han people in the Northeast. After the massacre, the number of Han people in the Northeast decreased sharply, and in the end there were only less than one million Baoyun slaves left.

As the Qing army swept the Ming Dynasty and established the Central Plains, all the Manchus moved to the Central Plains for fun. Most of the original Han robbers in the Northeast were carried as Han army bannermen and became the masters of the Northeast.

But with a population of less than one million, facing the vast Northeast is just a snatch of the sea.

The Northeast was actually a deserted area. At the beginning, the Northeast mainly entered some ethnic minorities, and for a while it was a place where there were officials of the court and their families.

Later, with the Qing Dynasty's unification of the entire Chinese situation, some people in Guanzhong migrated to the northeast. However, the Qing court was cautious in the management of Longxing Land and was afraid that too many Han people in the northeast would lead to their loss of the "Longxing Land". So they built and dredged border moats in the banned area and planted willows along the moats, which were called Willow Border. Also known as Shengjing Border Wall, Liucheng, and Tiaozi Border, blocked the Han people south of Shengjing. Therefore, migrant people were concentrated in the Fengtian area south of Shengjing, which caused more than three million people in Fengtian today, while Jilin and Heilongjiang were pitiful.

It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty, coupled with natural disasters during the Daoguang period and strong invasions, forced some Guanzhong people to flee to the Northeast. The Qing court gradually realized that the Russians migrated to the Far East near the Northeast, and the crisis of the Qing government's rule, so it allowed a few Han people to move to Jilin and Heilongjiang to enrich border defense.

The Northeast was truly opened, but it was precisely during the Republic of China era.

In the era of Zhang Zuolin, in order to stabilize border defense, and to deal with the purpose of the Japanese and Russian governments and the Zhang father and son, a large number of immigrants to the northeast with a population of 3 million each year, causing fundamental changes in the population structure of Heilongjiang and Jilin.

The population of Northeast China has reached just 10 years. The desolate Northeast under the Qing Dynasty ruled in the past, and the Northeast, which was ravaged by Japan and Russia, has become the most advanced region in China. 85% of railways are nationalized, and telecommunications equipment is 98% nationalized. The salary of professors at Northeast University is six times that of Peking University. Premier Duan Qirui can produce motivation (introduce the most advanced Nordic equipment at that time). In 2018, the first train with air conditioning in Asia was born in Dalian. Even Sun Yat-sen praised Zhang Zuolin, saying that he drove the Northeast and made the people's livelihood in the Northeast beyond any place in the country!

After careful consideration, Zhang Yunfei suddenly became dejected. Originally, Zhang Yunfei thought that the Qing court gave him the general of Shengjing and made him make a big profit. Because as long as he stuck Shanhaiguan, it would be like he stuck in the entire Northeast region, and the remaining two provinces were the things in his pocket. As long as he worked hard for a few years, he could fight against the great powers outside and compete with the Central Plains inside.

But now it seems that Zhang Yunfei was fooled by the court!

The vast Northeast has only a population of four million, and the population in Heilongjiang and Jilin is almost zero!

"It's really the Great Northern Wilderness! I'm fooled! Damn, I don't have a population, and I can't play even if I give me a governor of the Northeast!" Zhang Yunfei cursed with dissatisfaction, and felt even more depressed.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei cursing, Zhao Gang knew that Zhang Yunfei was in a bad mood, so he said, "The Yuan Dynasty doesn't have to be too angry. As long as there is a territory, are you still afraid that no one will come? The Qing Dynasty has nothing to do, but there is no shortage of people! It is difficult to find a toad with three legs, and people with two legs are everywhere. With our current financial resources, we can completely migrate a large number of people to the Northeast!"

"Migrating population?" Zhang Yunfei asked.

"If you only want to manage Fengtian, the current population of more than three million is not too much, and it is not too little. After three years of operation, it is conscripted for 100,000 troops, and it is also feasible to win the Central Plains with a strong navy!" Zhao Gang said.

"Do you know? The biggest crisis of any country is war. Whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, even a strong country will be dragged down into a second-rate country after the war. I don't want our country to spend all its energy on civil wars. If it can be peacefully reunified, it is the best!" Zhang Yunfei said.

"It is impossible if Yuan did not want a civil war, at least it is impossible now! Although civil war is inevitable, war can be controlled. As long as our strength is so strong that it is invincible and unstoppable, the enemy can subdue it! But in that case, we now need a large population, and a Fengtian time-saving is not enough. You need to control the entire Northeast, or even the entire North." Zhao Gang said.

What Zhao Gang said is very realistic, and Zhang Yunfei also knew that peaceful reunification must be based on extremely powerful political, economic, and military forces.

Only within the range of the cannon can you have the right to speak!

"But it takes a long time to migrate the population, and we don't have that much time!" Zhang Yunfei said, because he knew that the 10 years that the world is about to usher in is the time for the great powers to prepare for the First World War, and it is also the only time for China to get a breather. We must not lose our chances and never come again.

We cannot spend all this precious time on the civil war! And if we want to take the opportunity to show our strength, population shortage has become a constraint.

Zhao Gang didn't know that Zhang Yunfei was thinking of not having time to show his strength. He thought Zhang Yunfei was in a hurry to unify China and become the emperor!

"The Yuan Dynasty doesn't have to worry too much! The exhibition in the Northeast requires an industrial foundation. Now it is a barren land. If you want to exhibition, you have to lay the foundation first. We can use trains, warships, merchant ships and other transportation tools to migrate people from all over the country, and first go to the Northeast to build various industrial infrastructure to provide labor for relief. I believe that many ordinary people who can't afford to eat will come here!" Zhao Gang made another suggestion to Zhang Yunfei.

After hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded and thought to himself: "This suggestion is very good. It can be used to plunder people and carry out infrastructure construction. It is not delayed. It seems that he has to be a human trafficker!"

Zhang Yunfei patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and said, "Okay! This suggestion is good. I didn't see it. Do you have a strategic vision?"

Zhao Gang smiled and replied, "Thank you Yuan for the praise.

To be familiar, it is close to Mo Hei and Zhu Chi. I have been with you for more than ten years. Your talent and dad have not learned it, but Xiao Lai still understands it!"

Hearing Zhao Gang's unparalleled flattery, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Okay, don't flatter the whole thing!"

At this time, the guards came to report: "Report to Yuan, Major General Dilisi, the commander of the German Far East Fleet, visited!"
