Eight hundred and twentieth chapters the Far East to establish a province
"I would like to say that as of June 1, more than 800,000 serfs have been released in the plateau area, and 300,000 of them have been initially allocated pastures and fields. It is expected that all pastures will be divided within the year."
Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "This Yan Xishan is still very capable and clean in his work, but it is not very honorable to have such a trick. Some people have filed a complaint with me and asked for a thorough investigation of Yan Xishan."
"Dream!" Zhang Tinglan said unceremoniously: "I still think about being a slave owner and living the life of a master. It is absolutely impossible. Now just confiscating the property is already an advantage for them. If you dare to do it again, you will also keep your head.
Come down."
When Wang Yongjiang saw Zhang Tinglan's murderous attitude, he laughed and said: "I beg your pardon, you don't want to kill all these people, do you? This will make a difference. But in addition to serfs, there are also many free people on the plateau. These
People still have considerable piety towards religious leaders, and if they were to be killed, there would probably be a rebellion."
"Well, that's right. The regular army is not terrible. Even if there are 100,000 to 80,000 troops, they can't withstand a bombardment. But once they rely on the terrain to fight guerrillas with you like a swarm of mosquitoes, it will be troublesome. On the plateau
The cost of stationing a large army in this area is too great and we cannot afford it."
"In this case, is there any clever way to get the best of both worlds?"
"It's nothing more than letting them be rich and idle people. As long as they are willing to hand over all power, give them some money regularly, and then leave some positions for them in governments at all levels. They don't need any real power, just look good."
Wang Yongjiang nodded: "Yes, in fact we do the same in Mongolia. Over the years, Mongolia's economy has continued to develop, and the lives of herders have also become better and better. The original nobles no longer daydream,
Integrate into mainstream society honestly. It’s just that the plateau is different from Mongolia, so I’m afraid there will be disaster if you do this.”
"What's wrong?"
"It's very simple. Although Mongolia is similar to the plateau in many places, the exchanges between Mongolia and the mainland are closer. Starting from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Manchus and Mongolians have continued to intermarry. In Mongolian society, the secular power is stronger and the religious influence is lower. As long as
Strengthening exchanges and integration with the mainland will be effective soon. But in the plateau where religious forces are deeply rooted, I'm afraid there will be a counterattack after a round of transformation."
Wang Yongjiang's words suddenly reminded Zhang Tinglan that it was indeed true. Religion was indeed a very strange force. For thousands of years, the Han people had been a country of weak atheism. Since the time when the son did not speak of strange powers and chaos, religion was doomed to be helpless.
Dominating Chinese society, once such signs appeared, the Chinese emperor was never polite. Many times they exterminated Buddhism, completely forcing a foreign religion to localize.
If we talk about what Chinese people have believed in for thousands of years, I am afraid that the most important one is pragmatism. Gods and Buddhas have been sidelined. Because of this, China does not quite understand a society with very strong religious traditions. People are ignorant and stubborn.
When you are young, you will blindly believe in religion. But once you have money, become slightly richer, and can calm down, you will return to religion.
Because of this, after the initial division of fields, the plateau will temporarily settle down, but if the old traditions are not eliminated, they will come back sooner or later.
Zhang Tinglan walked back and forth in the office several times, frowning, and constantly thinking about various strategies in his mind. The main reason for success in Mongolia is that Mongolia is rich in resources. As long as the economy is developed, the cultural and educational level is improved, and especially the Chineseization is vigorously promoted
, there is no problem.
However, these strategies become very troublesome for plateaus. On a plateau of four to five kilometers, it is impossible to build a railway within 20 to 30 years. Without infrastructure, let alone economic development...
The same was true for Wang Yongjiang. He also knew how difficult it was to change the plateau and couldn't help but sigh. As he was walking, Zhang Tinglan suddenly laid his eyes on a Maitreya Buddha above the Baibao Pavilion.
The topaz-carved Maitreya Buddha is only over half a foot tall, with bare breasts and a charming smile. The small Buddha statue is so lifelike that one look at it can open people's minds a lot.
Zhang Tinglan also suddenly had an idea and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Minyuan, what do you think of this Buddha statue?"
Wang Yongjiang smiled and said: "I remember that these were the treasures found during the raid on Prince Qing's Mansion. These Manchu nobles indeed plundered a lot of good stuff."
"Yes, if this Buddha statue were placed in a temple, it would attract all the attention and worship, and I don't know how many faithful men and women would compete to burn incense. But if it is placed on this Baibao Pavilion, it is just an ordinary thing.
It’s just an ornament, and at most it’s just about appreciating a carving and admiring its ingenuity.”
Wang Yongjiang can be called a wise man in the world. When he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he suddenly showed a hint of enlightenment and smiled: "I'm sorry, do you want to invite all those gods and Buddhas down?"
"That's right, as soon as the gods and Buddhas in the sky leave the temple, they will lose their immortal energy and lose their magic over time."
…
"Sir, more than twenty congressmen have signed a petition to sue you to the president?"
Yan Xishan didn't even raise his head, he continued to read the official document, and just sneered casually: "What do they want to sue Yan?"
"Of course it's undermining religious freedom. Some people think that tradition should be respected, and some people's ideas should be implemented slowly. Others say that you kill too much!"
"Too heavy?" Yan Xishan sneered: "I'm already showing mercy. If I kill fewer people, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test above."
Since entering the plateau, more than 200 former nobles have been killed, thousands of monks have been imprisoned, and more than 30,000 militants have been captured, all of whom were sent to the northwest to work as laborers. With the land reform,
Going deeper, more and more people will be purged.
The more killings there are, the greater the pressure on his shoulders. But Yan Xishan knows very well that since Zhang Tinglan's attitude is so clear, he can only go one way to the end, and don't even think about cutting the tofu with a knife. If there are too many left,
Later troubles will be the real trouble if they are investigated in the future.
"Don't worry about those people. They just stand and talk without pain. If they don't cause trouble, how can they show their value?"
While he was talking, someone suddenly ran in and said hurriedly: "Sir Yan, this is an urgent message from the President."
Yan Xishan hurriedly took it and took a look. His eyes suddenly lit up. After a few glances, he said with a smile: "The President is really wise. With this order, I have an idea."
It turned out that Zhang Tinglan issued an order for forced immigration to Yan Xishan, and all the properties of those nobles had been distributed, leaving nothing behind.
If you are honest and obedient, you can get back half of your wealth, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you must move to the mainland, and each city is not allowed to exceed 100 households. In addition, free people can also choose to immigrate, and the government will provide jobs for both generations.
Enjoy educational discounts.
This move is ruthless. Since it is difficult to develop the plateau, it is easy to move people out. In short, after taking control of the Far East and Central Asia, China's room for maneuver has become larger and larger. It has moved hundreds of people from the plateau.
Thousands of people, just want to sprinkle pepper, will disappear in an instant.
As long as they are dispersed to various cities, after one or two generations, they will be completely assimilated. Life in the mainland is always better than on the plateau, and few are willing to go back.
As for the remaining people, most of them are former serfs. After they are allocated a large amount of land, livestock, and property, their lives will get better and better. Without the instigation from above, they can have enough food and live a good life.
As long as you have a normal mind, you won't think about making trouble.
Yan Xishan also applauded the decision to move to the mainland, and immediately implemented it according to Zhang Tinglan's wishes. Regardless of whether the nobles and monks were willing or not, there was only one choice between relocation and destruction. These people finally became obedient.
I can only move out honestly.
When doing this, Yan Xishan also paid attention to the method. He started from the bottom and moved the small temples and small nobles away first. After these people left, the foundation of the huge power pyramid was broken.
The top nobles couldn't leave even if they wanted to. In this way, the power that had been entrenched on the plateau for thousands of years was broken.
Of course, this also has a side effect, that is, the population of the plateau has decreased, which is very detrimental to border defense. But Zhang Tinglan doesn't care about this. There are no atomic bombs now. Any place connected to the Chinese mainland must be careful. If you dare to play China's wishful thinking
, just wait to lose even more miserably.
Just after the plateau issues gradually calmed down, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly implemented another task, which was to completely abolish the Far Eastern Empire and incorporate it into China's territory.
At the beginning, the Far Eastern Empire was just a painting. Especially after the Russians revealed that the queen was fake, this game could no longer be played. Since it could no longer be played, it was just a matter of time to incorporate it into the Chinese territory as soon as possible.
Moreover, preparations are almost complete at this time. After Li Jinglin's counterinsurgency operations, the number of White Russians in the Far East has dropped to less than 500,000, and they are still old, weak, women and children. The number of Han people has increased to 3 million.
Such a huge manpower advantage can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
The entire Far East region is divided into three parts, that is, three provinces. The area east of Lake Baikal and all the way to the Mohe River is called Beihai Province, with Chita as the provincial capital. The area east of the Mohe River and to the west of the mouth of the Heilongjiang River is called Xing'an.
Province, the provincial capital is located in Hailanpao. As for the remaining area east of the Ussuri River, it is classified as Dongjiang Province, and the provincial capital is located in Vladivostok.
With the establishment of three provinces, China's territory has been increased by more than one million square kilometers. The whole country was immediately rejoicing, and newspapers reported endlessly on the prosperity of these provinces and encouraged immigrants to develop.
Then there was a "gaochao" movement in China that immigrated to northern Xinjiang. This is indeed the case. These places are full of forests, the land is fertile, and there are a lot of mineral deposits underground. Especially gold, it is a good thing that people are obsessed with.
Going to the Far East to pan for gold has become the most fashionable topic.
As long as you dare to take risks, you can become rich overnight. It is definitely not a myth. This temptation is no less than drugs. More and more people are running north, and the immigration wave driven by this craze has completely consolidated control of the Far East.
