Chapter 577 You are always too soft-hearted
Street under Fuzhou.
"Hurry up, I thought you were the masters!"
A militia member whipped a flagman hard and scolded him.
The latter moved his steps in grief and anger.
Countless people around them were carrying bags of food, as well as various valuable things such as cloth and even livestock, and then they were spitting at them while happily walking by. The streets under the city have been indignant for a long time, because this place is in the center of the prosperous city, and the bannermen who are stationed in accordance with the rules cannot do other business, so they rely on extortion to live. The residents here rely on their superior status, and Han people have to buy money for their weddings and funerals, and even those who buy vegetables have to catch them from the streets under the city. It is a cancer of this city. This time, it can finally be completely removed, and the whole of Fuzhou is full of joy.
The bannermen, the elderly, weak, women and children were all taken out at this moment, while the common people rushed into this block and happily took their property.
Of course not to move casually.
In fact, there was a Ming army in charge of raiding houses one by one, and gold and silver were taken by Yang Feng. His People's Bank urgently needed precious metals to maintain the gold and silver rebirth. Although a large number of them were collected in Guangzhou, the more the better. Jewelry was accepted by the Ming soldiers, and grain, cloth, livestock and even furniture belonged to the people of Fuzhou. According to their roughly estimated value, each household could receive what they needed. They would receive food if they needed food, and other property if they needed other things. The Ming army was very familiar and experienced.
Not just from the streets.
There are also other officials and all the famous gentry in Fuzhou City. Because Fuzhou changed its owner too quickly, most of these people did not run out.
It's easy to deal with them.
First arrest them and then public trials. The common people spontaneously report them, just like holding a conference. If there is no evil deed, it would be fine. Except for confiscating the land, it would be fine. If you are guilty and verified, of course, you can just check them roughly. In this case, you are not in the mood to investigate too carefully. In short, if you are guilty, you should search the house without being polite. In fact, basically there is basically no clean one. Those who are officials are pulled out these days, and even according to the standards of the Qing Dynasty, there is probably no one who is wronged. There will be no real honest official in this sense. If there is such a strange thing, it is impossible to survive in the officialdom. This is not the corruption of a certain person or a group of people. This is completely corrupt from the root.
There are honest officials in this era?
That was a very cold joke.
In addition, not only the people in Fuzhou can share their property, but also those outside the city can come to take them, and by the way, they can also take the Ming army to their place to fight against the local tyrants.
Of course, they can do it themselves.
In fact, they all do it themselves.
At this time, the surrounding counties had no army except the yamen runners. Although those gentry had slaves, they were meaningless in the face of the torrent of the poor. Since this was the case, there was no need to bother the Ming army. After all, it would take some time for the Ming army to take action, and the common people could not wait.
In short, at this time, Fuzhou and several surrounding counties were completely in a carnival of poor people.
"This place will be renamed Guangfu Street in the future!"
Yang Feng waved at the prosperous streets of the flag and said.
"Thank you your majesty for your name!"
Xie Ping said quickly.
He has been appointed as the director of the Fuzhou Military Control Commission and is fully responsible for the civil affairs of Fuzhou, mainly to suppress the resistance of those gentry. At the same time, he and Qin Song expanded two infantry brigades with the First Battalion as the core.
Yang Feng gave him the task to control Fuzhou, Changle, Fuqing, Minhou, Lianjiang and other places to form bases, and attract the Qing army to attack here, and then kill the Qing army to the greatest extent in defense. This land is enough to be self-sufficient, and there is no problem in agriculture. By the way, the entire Fujian is the best agricultural area, and it is surrounded by mountains and seas. As long as a few key points are guarded, the entire Fuzhou area will be safe. There is no problem even in military industry in this area, because there are a large number of craftsmen who can make flintlock guns in the provincial capital, and there is also a small iron ore nearby. The Shipbuilding Bureau relies on the Muyuan Iron Mine. The only thing that is missing is Keelung Coal Mine, another pillar of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau in history, but this can be replaced by Liancheng coal mine.
In short, it is definitely not enough to play the big steel industry, but it is enough to just maintain this base.
As for other details...
The base camp of the Changle Department!
Does such a place require him to consider other small things?
As for other aspects, I don't need to consider it for the time being.
To establish a base, we must first meet the needs of daily necessities, that is, we can produce enough food to feed the population, and produce enough cloth to make clothes. We should solve the problem of food and clothing. The other is secondary. Fuzhou is sufficient, and coastal fishing can supplement nutrition, so there is no need to consider the supply of salt. This is the most lacking in the base areas in history, and Fuzhou does not need to consider it at all.
Furthermore, the military industry must be able to be self-sufficiency.
That is, it must be able to manufacture cannons and ammunition.
This Fuzhou can also satisfy it.
Although ammunition manufacturing requires saltpeter and sulfur, fortunately he can provide it. His warehouse has a large amount of reserves and is the purest. He only needs to add charcoal to fry it. In fact, at this time, the arsenal in Guangzhou also uses the raw materials he reserved for gunpowder. Although these raw materials are limited, fortunately his limited is all counted in thousands of tons, and it is estimated that it will not have to consider the issue of using it in a few years.
Then both are satisfied, and one base can fully establish support, and the rest is to spread out the fire of prairie fire based on this base.
Yang Feng is not worried about military affairs.
As long as his policy remains unchanged, no matter how the Qing Dynasty and the gentry struggled, they were just small bugs in the end, in front of a vast torrent. However, there must be a prerequisite, that is, those ordinary people must know their policies, and the information transmission speed in this era is slow. In addition, the gentry also has the right to speak, and the people lack information acquisition channels, so he can only control the expansion speed, and constantly build bases to use these bases as demonstrations, so that the people everywhere can know their policies in the shortest time. When all the people know, he will do nothing and destroy them like Guangzhou.
"Your Majesty, what's the use of these old and weak?"
Xie Ping looked at the bannermen and said.
Among these bannermen, women are useful. Speaking of which, the Chinese in Nanyang lack this. Although they have captured tens of thousands of landlords and daughters in Guangdong, they are actually not very popular. They are mainly small feet. For those gold diggers, these can have children and cannot help them work. However, the bannermen are different. These bannermen have big feet. Although they are lazy, fortunately, those gold diggers have whips. In short, they are more suitable to form families with those gold diggers.
They are more popular than those women with small feet.
But these banner men are obviously useless. These are all old and weak, and they cannot be used as coolies at all. Transportation is troublesome, so it is easier to kill them directly.
“They are useful too!”
Yang Feng said.
His pyramid is about to be built, and he is going to build the pyramid on Anbuna Island.
There is actually not much use there. Although he is now building a military base, the problem is that he will definitely grab Singapore in the future. Singapore is obviously more suitable for the role of the South China Military pillar than Anbuna Island. Then Anbuna Island is destined to be of little use. As his crossing point, this small island will undoubtedly have a special significance in the future Ming Empire. Since this is the case, just build the pyramids for future generations to make pilgrimage.
All these bannermen were thrown over to do the preliminary work first, and as his first group of subjects, the residents of Anbuna Island were all the military and political cores of the Ming Empire, and they would definitely not live there again.
They will definitely move out.
In other words, there will be no residents there. At most, before capturing Singapore, there will be troops stationed there all year round, so there is no need for these bannermen to have surgery. If there is no woman, keep it for them! As for them to solve loneliness in other ways, just let them do it. Anyway, they are all good at it. Look at the prosperity of the Eight Great Hutongs, which is also known as the mercy of the Divine Emperor, and the garrisons are just responsible for supervising them. In the future, all the bannermen and men will be sent there, and there will be hundreds of thousands of people. It will be enough for him to build the pyramid before death.
It should be said that this is the most perfect treatment measure for the bannermen, and the Divine Emperor is becoming more and more compassionate.
Alas, he is always so soft-hearted.
Looking at the hardcore crops full of grief and anger, who staggered towards the prisoner-of-war management camp under the militia whip and waited to load the ship south to Guangzhou, Yang Feng patted Xie Ping on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I'll leave the matter here to you. Do it well, don't let my expectations down. Next, the south will fight with the British army. You must stay alone in Fuzhou for at least half a year."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. What the Fourth Brigade can do, so can I do."
Xie Ping said.
In fact, they were not at all dangerous. First of all, the Qing army had to mobilize troops. The process of the Qing army's efficiency would probably take two months. After all, the entire Qing army in Jiangnan was in Guangzhou at this time, and if it was just a defense, the Qing army would not be able to break through the Ming army's defense line, even if it was a partial division of the Ming army. Luo Dagang's Fourth Brigade had long confirmed this. He had defeated the Qing army's attacks countless times in Jieyang and Chaozhou. One brigade was also a brigade dominated by smoothbore guns. In the defense, it easily caused a total of 30,000 Qing troops to throw away their armor again and again.
There was actually only one elite Ming army in his place.
And Xie Ping is a battalion here.
Just supported alone for half a year without any pressure.
"Then I'll be relieved!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
