Chapter 369: Restoring the land also restores its strength!
After walking through several military cities on the Jinzhou defense line, Chen Dayou basically had a clear idea.
The entire defense line in Jinzhou is built to be able to station more than 10,000 troops and horses. This winter, there are only about two or three regiments of troops left in Jinzhou. The other troops and horses will go to the front line to confront the Qing army, that is,
It is said that at least there will be enough room for 10,000 immigrants to live there.
It is now more than May, so we have to move the people over quickly and build some temporary residences. In terms of living conditions, Jinzhou should have no problem settling 23,000 to 30,000 people by the end of the year.
In addition to living conditions, it also depends on the condition of the cultivated land. There are not many arable fields in the small Jinzhou Peninsula. For farming, it mainly depends on the situation in the northern part of Jinzhou City. This area in southern Liaoning was originally a prosperous agricultural area.
Later, due to the repeated tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the massacres by the Qing army, this area was in a state of disrepair, and the people were injured in all likelihood. The prosperous Liaonan Peninsula was almost turned into a desert island. It is not easy to recover.
thing.
"Dabao, your punishment hall needs to put more effort in the northern part of Jinzhou City in the recent period to resettle the original Liao people's villages and conduct a rough inspection of those places that can be used as resettlement sites for the Anmin Department's farms. The imperial court's Anmin
The department will move people here and there and open farms in the recent period." After inspecting the military city, Chen Dayou arranged the work to be done in the near future to Wang Dabao and the others. The Xingtang is a priority department of the Jinzhou government office.
There are relatively more people, so Chen Dayou will use them as a panacea first, and then talk about the division of labor among departments when the people are in place.
Wu Jiye's family is one of the old families who still stayed in Jinzhou. When the Qing army came to the Jinzhou Peninsula in the first year, they thought that the situation would be as they remembered, and that the Ming army would be driven out of Jinzhou! However, this did not happen.
As they thought, the Qing army that rushed to the Jinzhou Peninsula was quickly driven north by the Ming army. Wu Jiye's family even saw with their own eyes that the Manchus stranded in their village were killed or captured by the Ming army.
The occurrence of this incident greatly stimulated them.
"Dad, I'm afraid that the Manchus will never come back. I heard that they suffered another defeat in Haizhou recently, and Haizhou may not be able to defend it. I'm afraid the little braids on the back of our heads need to be cut off quickly.
I won’t be able to hide it as long as I grow up.”
"If you want to cut it, just cut it! You all have to be more alert these days. I heard that the imperial court has officially opened an official office in Jinzhou. It seems that it will be a long-term operation. We must make the people obedient and don't let them arrest them.
Handle." Although the old man Wu Jiye did not directly admit that he made a mistake in judgment, his words clearly showed his thoughts. The outcome of the Battle of Jinzhou made his view of the situation change drastically. Originally, in
The image of the invincible Manchus in his heart has completely collapsed!
"Dad, do you think the army will be like the Dongjiang River in the past, with loud thunder and light rain, and in a few years the Qing will gain the upper hand again?"
"What are you thinking! The Qing people are Tatars after all. If their breath is broken, it will be difficult to recover. It's not like the army can't gain the upper hand for a while, but it can take a few years to recover and regain its strength! From last year to
Now, the Qing people have lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can they replace the loss of so many young men? In the future, the official army will at least be able to control southern Liaoning."
Life experience is the best teacher. Old Man Wu has lived in these troubled times for decades. He has his own views and understanding of the world's situation. The Manchu Dynasty did not have long-lasting strength. It was he who combined his own survival experience and what he had learned.
Understanding the ethnic minority regimes and drawing conclusions and opinions.
After nearly a year of tug-of-war, the influence of the Ming Dynasty’s officers and soldiers on the hearts of the indigenous people in southern Liaoning has finally undergone a qualitative change. They no longer feel that it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to defeat the Manchus!
Winning the Qing Dynasty militarily was only the beginning of the war to restore Liao. The key to whether this matter could ultimately succeed lies in the management of southern Liaoning. It will take two to three years to basically restore the social supply capacity of southern Liaoning. It is the cabinet's responsibility.
and the key to Zhu Youjian's economic strategy in southern Liaoning.
Thirty two years later, when the official battle to restore Liaoning begins, southern Liaoning must become a stable rear base to provide strong support for the troops fighting on the front line. At the same time, it must also shoulder the role of leading the development and construction of the entire Liaoning in the future.
, enabling Liaodong to get out of the shadow of war as soon as possible and restore livelihood and vitality.
The Manchu and Qing dynasty's operations in Liaodong were generally not successful. The dilapidated people's livelihood has only worsened in the past few decades. Otherwise, the Manchu and Qing dynasty would not have gone to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to rob. They would not have been able to survive there.
The people were the normal state after the Manchus took control of Liaodong. In history, the Manchus were able to truly govern the place effectively only during the Shunzhi period with the help of a group of surrendered Han officials. It took a long time for the broken Liaodong to regain its vitality.
It was only realized later.
The Manchus could maintain their rule in a dilapidated place, but the Ming Dynasty could not! Because the Manchus had a low bottom line for survival. No matter how dilapidated it was, it would still be better than their previous living conditions. No matter how dilapidated it was, they could squeeze out enough to survive.
Resources. For example, their military force can exist on a half-farm, half-soldier basis, and a large number of part-time soldiers can be used as regular troops! Also, most of their grassroots administrative staff are part-time, not full-time officials.
In terms of management costs, the administrative costs of the Ming Dynasty were several orders of magnitude higher than those of the semi-serf Manchu Qing Dynasty. If Liaodong was left dilapidated for a long time, it would have a huge negative impact on the overall improving situation.
Not only must the land be restored, but also its strength must be restored! This is what Ming Dynasty must do. If it cannot do this, it will be meaningless to restore Liaodong!
How to restore the power of Liaodong? It is obviously unrealistic to rely on industry to drive it. At present and for a long time in the future, the main industry in Liaodong, which is a large country, must be agriculture. Whether the land can prosper depends on whether agriculture can develop. Immigration
, Promoting agriculture is the main task of the government in southern Liaoning and even Liaodong in the next period. Zhu Youjian's plan is to use the experience of the Shanxi Refugee Resettlement Agency and use farm management to develop Liaodong as a whole.
The main operation time of the Refugee Resettlement Agency in Beizhili is about three years. After three years, most of the agencies will be withdrawn, and only some industrial production projects will be retained to maintain operations. Zhu Youjian even plans to use these industrial production projects
The contracting system gradually realized privatization, thus reducing the court's operating and management costs. The restructuring of the public economy in later generations created a group of wealthy people. The factory restructuring of the Civil Affairs Bureau in the future will also create a wealthy group.
Unlike the Anmin Bureau in Beizhili, Zhu Youjian plans to maintain the Anmin Bureau in Liaodong for ten to twenty years and build it into a semi-permanent operation. The collective economy has the advantages of the collective economy and can
Play the role of concentrating efforts to do big things. If this place relies purely on farmers to develop, it may not develop for decades. But collective farms are different. They can achieve their own income and expenditure in two to three years, and even after that
It can also achieve profitability and provide financial support for the continued development of Liaodong.
