After the Manchu Qing Dynasty abdicated, the Republic of China government promised preferential treatment to the Manchu Qing royal family. Young Puyi continued to live in Beijing, and the property of the Eight Banners nobles was also greatly preserved. Although these people were prodigal, they could not afford to plunder too much.
Moreover, the three eastern provinces were also the land where the Manchus were flourishing. Many Manchus had always been worried that they would be driven out of the Central Plains by the Han people. Therefore, they purchased real estate outside the customs, stored gold and silver, and built manors as a retreat.
Zhang Tinglan asked his men to take the list provided by Pu Wei and search the house everywhere. As the search deepened, the results discovered became more and more shocking. Take Xiuyan for example, most of the most famous jade mines were in the Manchu nobles.
Among them, the one with the largest share was actually Prince Qing Yikuang of the former Qing Dynasty, who accounted for more than half.
This old guy was known for being greedy and ignorant in the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty, but the reality often exceeded people's expectations. The old guy's hands were stretched longer than imagined, and he caught more things.
In addition, the largest landowner in Xiuyan is Bi Shun, who took the lead in besieging the county. He is known as Bi Qiye. He controls more than 40% of the land in the county and is the number one landowner. He has five manors alone. Of course, Xiuyan also has
It is relatively remote and does not have many special products except jade mines. In other areas, the wealth of the Eight Banners nobles is even more astonishing.
"I'd like to say that the commander-in-chief has ordered a comprehensive search of Fengtian according to the list. There is too much oil and water here. Not only the commander-in-chief, but also Wu Datou even ran back to Taonan from Chifeng and rushed to several horse farms.
Confiscated!"
Zhang Tinglan was also shocked and asked hurriedly: "Linge, are there people from the Eight Banners interested in a place as remote as Taonan?"
"Of course. They claim to have built a country by riding and shooting, so it's not surprising at all to have a horse farm. Besides the Eight Banners, there are also Mongolian princes. They also have horse farms in that area. Who can miss this opportunity to make a fortune?
Not only Wu Junsheng, but also Feng Delin, who had always been at odds with the commander-in-chief, also joined in. He also ransacked the homes of the Eight Banners in Jinzhou and Guangning, and made a fortune."
In fact, many Mongolian princes also joined the Zongshe Party. Babu Zabu, who was killed by Zhang Tinglan, was a member of the Zongshe Party. There were also many Mongolian princes in the list Zhang Tinglan asked Pu Wei to confess. However, Fengtian's power could not penetrate deep into Mongolia.
We can only let these Mongolian princes go first and concentrate our efforts on capturing the nobles of the Eight Banners.
Several of the top military leaders in Fengjun were all bandits. They were very familiar with the task of confiscating homes and exterminating families. What's more, they had already done it once when they captured Shanqi and Shengyun, but at that time, Lao Zhang was not
It is the Lord of Heaven, so it is inevitable that it will be in the way.
The situation now is completely different. Lao Zhang is the legitimate governor of Fengtian, and he also has Wang Yongjiang as his assistant. After Lao Wang came to power, the first thing he promoted was to clear the land and land, and he did not hesitate to go to war with the entire landlord class in order to solve the financial problem of Fengtian.
crisis.
However, no matter how well we clear the land, it is not as satisfying as confiscating the land directly. The Eight Banner nobles are the largest landlord class in Fengtian. They are involved in a major treason case, and it is natural to confiscate the land. The land that has been confiscated
Then they were divided equally among the landless tenant farmers.
From tenant farmers to owner-cultivators, they pay more taxes and their spending power has also increased. This is a huge good thing for Fengtian's economy and can also alleviate financial difficulties.
It was precisely because of this benefit that Wang Yongjiang gave top priority to this case. He combined the investigation of the land and the investigation into the case. Even the Manchu landowners who were not involved must obey the orders of the Qingzhang Bureau.
, report the amount of land truthfully, otherwise you will be labeled as a traitor at any time and sent to prison to eat corn, which no one can bear.
Of course, as long as these people are obedient, Wang Yongjiang will not embarrass them too much. After all, everyone knows the principle of catching the big fish and letting go the small ones. The main focus is on the big fish. It turns out that the yellow belts and red belts of the Manchus have suffered.
After a serious impact, who told them to have the fattest money?
"I have to say that in just a few days, the amount of money that the commander has stolen has exceeded five million, and the number of real estate and fields is even more countless. Now Wang Minyuan is probably very happy.
With this money, Fengtian's financial gap will be filled, and there will still be a lot of surplus."
"It's a bit small. I estimate that this group of people have more than ten or twenty million in free money. They have been parasites for two to three hundred years, and they must have accumulated more than a few million in their hands!"
"It's true that it's more than a few million. It's just that most people deposit their money in foreign banks. We can't figure out the specific amount, and those well-informed guys either went to the Manchuria Railway affiliated area or went to Luda University.
, and some went directly to Beijing, and all we could get were lands and houses."
"We can't let them go so cheaply. I think we should treat this kind of thing as a long-term mission. First put these guys on the wanted list. As soon as they emerge from their hiding place, we will catch them."
, and then torture them severely, and they will never let go until their bone marrow oil is squeezed out."
When Yang Yuting heard this, he also gave Zhang Tinglan two thumbs up. In fact, Zhang Zuolin and Wang Yongjiang were just trying to grab a vote when they ransacked their homes, in order to overcome the current difficulties. Who would have thought that Zhang Tinglan would take this kind of thing as a serious matter?
If the business lasts for a long time, these Eight Banners nobles will probably have a guillotine hanging over their heads and it can fall at any time. Most of them will be restless and frightened day and night.
"Idiot, aren't you afraid that people will say you are evil-minded when you do this?"
"What are you afraid of? After the Manchus entered the customs, they did not engage in production and were nothing but parasites. The land and wealth they accumulated did not belong to them at all, but to the people of the Han people. Every one of them was stained with blood and tears. Now take this money from
They got it, and we built factories, built railways, and developed armaments. These are all good things that benefit the country and the people. We are actually helping those Eight Banners nobles atone for their sins."
"I have to say, now I understand that the commander is really a wise man!"
"Linge, what do you mean?"
"The commander-in-chief has just conveyed an order, appointing Zhang Zhuoyan as the Liaonan Inspection Envoy, responsible for investigating the family property issues of the Manchu nobles involved in the case. Not only Xiuyan, Yingkou, Haicheng, Zhuanghe, Dandong, Fengcheng and other places belong to you.
No matter what, the commander-in-chief wants you to squeeze out all the wealth of the Eight Banners disciples."
In fact, cleaning up is just a matter of words, but it is very difficult to operate. Take land as an example. The cultivated land developed in Fengtian is about 40 million acres. Among them, the Eight Banners nobles occupy more than 20 million acres of the most fertile land.
acres, which is more than half of the total.
In places such as Liaonan, there are at least millions of acres of land. To figure it all out, a lot of work needs to be done. It can take less than a few months, or even a year. And it also involves follow-up matters.
, even if the land is confiscated, how to solve it next is still a problem.
Due to the large amount of land, it is impossible to simply distribute it to the people. Lao Zhang appointed Zhang Tinglan as the inventory envoy. In fact, he wanted to use his flexible mind to maximize the value of these lands and explore other areas of Fengtian.
Of course, this is just a purpose. In addition, Lao Zhang also asked Zhang Tinglan to lay down his roots in southern Liaoning to form a restriction on Malongtan. The Zongshe Party had so many armed forces here that they even tried to attack the county and restore Manchukuo. As a result, Malongtan
Not noticing it at all is a serious dereliction of duty.
As the governor of Dongbian Road, he has a great responsibility. Lao Zhang can justly extend his hand, and Zhang Tinglan is like a wedge, penetrating into Liaonan. Lao Zhang's scope of control can also be greatly expanded.
And there is a more important point. In southern Liaoning, not only the Clan Socialist Party is causing trouble, but the Revolutionary Party is also causing trouble, and the danger is no less than that of the Clan Socialist Party. The children of the Eight Banners are all a bunch of losers. But among the Revolutionary Party, there are dragons and snakes.
Mixed, there are many talents who studied in Japan, and their slogans are more inflammatory and should not be underestimated.
Southern Liaoning is close to the Japanese strongholds of Lushun and Dalian, and the local situation is complicated. I am afraid that only Zhang Tinglan can handle this situation.
Take the rapid annihilation of the Zongshe Party this time as an example. Zhang Tinglan did it perfectly. In less than a day, all the Zongshe Party armed forces inside and outside the county were wiped out. He also captured a big fish like Pu Wei and brought Liao
They almost wiped out all the Zongshe Party members in the south, and they also had conclusive evidence to turn the matter into a solid case.
The efficiency is high and the speed is lightning fast. The Zongshe Party is a dog raised by the Japanese. If they want to cripple them, the Japanese will never sit idly by. However, this Fengjun operation is too
It's almost over. The armed force of two to three thousand people didn't even make any noise, and it's over.
By the time the Japanese came to their senses, Feng Jun had already begun to seize the properties of these Manchu survivors, old and young. The Japanese could only try their best to protect some important people, but the properties of these guys were also lost.
The Japanese also came forward to put pressure on Fengtian, blaming Lao Zhang for his barbaric behavior, and even threatened to use force. Of course, they would not tolerate a dog disappearing like this.
But Zhang Tinglan was also prepared. He asked Pu Wei to explain his collusion with the Japanese, and then he gave these materials to European and American newspapers. Now the United States, Britain and other countries were all upset. The Japanese could delimit their sphere of influence in the Northeast.
, but Japan must not be allowed to blatantly split China. If this continues, won't Northeast China become a Japanese colony?
The United States, in particular, was furious. They issued a serious warning to Japan, not allowing them to upset the balance of the Pacific. If they insist on doing so, they will bear the consequences.
Faced with the sudden diplomatic pressure, the Japanese panicked and had no energy to take care of these Eight Banners nobles, so they had no choice but to let Fengjun eat their meat. Seeing such a good dog being slaughtered and skinned by Fengjun, he threw it into a pot and cooked it.
, Zhang Zuolin drank the fragrant dog meat soup, but the hearts of the Japanese were bleeding, and many years of hard work were in vain.
After Zhang Tinglan got the appointment, he carefully considered the current situation and discussed it carefully with Yang Yuting.
"Mr. Lin Ge, when we come to southern Liaoning, our main task is to wipe out the rebellion of the Revolutionary Party. Originally, I wanted to deliberately use a flaw to lure the snake out of the hole and wipe out the Revolutionary Party in one fell swoop. But the Zongshe Party came out first. I think we
It would be better to change the strategy, instead of luring the snake out of its hole, we should attack the mountain and shake the tiger. In the name of hunting down the socialist party, we should beat the revolutionary party and force them to gather in Zhuanghe, and then eradicate them in one fell swoop, eliminating the two major cancers in southern Liaoning.
"
"Zhu Yan's idea is good, but I'm still a little worried. We don't have enough troops on hand. We only led one regiment this time, less than 3,000 people. If we want to control the place, we have to deal with the revolutionary party, and we have to be on guard.
The Japanese are covered with iron and how many nails are there?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Lin Ge, I have long thought of a way, which is to use militia to control the local area. This time we have confiscated so much land and have to distribute it to the people. We can't let them get something for nothing, right?"
Yang Yuting nodded: "Indeed, it was given to the people in vain, but they didn't know how to cherish it. The commander-in-chief asked you to serve as this inspector because he actually wanted to find a better way to use the land."
"I plan to refer to the disaster relief measures formulated for the Liaoyang victims, and let all the people work for five years and pay the government the funds to purchase the land, and then the land will be returned to them. In addition to paying with food, this ransom can also be paid with working hours.
Being a militia is also an option, and the working hours of militiamen are counted as twice that of ordinary workers. How do you think ordinary people will choose?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
