Chapter 111 Harbin

"The Blackwater Development Team instructed on July 23, 1682: Summoned to the chief of Tungus, Sumur, the Mongolian nobleman Orgrad, completed his studies at the Han and Mongolian School and obtained the rank of reserve captain of the Army of the East Coast Republic of China. Now, you two are ordered to return to your hometown and manage the land, pastures, cattle, sheep and forests of 32 Tunnel east of Songhua River and west of Ningguta. You two must do your best to collect taxes for the government, both in-kind and cash taxes, and make a judgment on disputes between farmers and herdsmen.

, resist or even counterattack the attacks of the Qing Dynasty. Samur, you must try your best to restrain your tribes and not let them bully resettled southern immigrants. At the same time, you strictly investigate spies in your jurisdiction. Once discovered, you will be executed immediately. Do not allow two-faced people to exist. Orgrad, you are a professional who has systematically studied military affairs and commanded the Mongolian cavalry of three companies. You must do your best to win a stable living space for pioneering immigrants and resolutely suppress the enemy's momentum.

Go, so that they can't have the idea of ​​confronting us. In addition, Samur and Orgrad, you two must also strictly order farmers and herdsmen with unmarried daughters in their jurisdiction to marry their daughters to new southern pioneer immigrants, and not marry each other, nor to the Qing Dynasty controlled areas, so that our new immigrants can settle down as soon as possible. If you do not do this well, you will inevitably be severely punished by national laws and will be punished with open flogging, which will violate

Farmers who are subject to this provision will also be fined and will not be lenient! Judge Hasegawa of the Third Circuit Court of Harbin will supervise the work of you and do not slacken. Remember to remember!" In an office in Harbin Fort, active army captain Bei Zhensheng carefully read a quick order from Miaojie County, and then signed his own name on it, and asked the orderly soldiers to use the official seal of the Harbin Security Command to stamp it, which was officially effective.

Speaking of Harbin Fort, the Model Fort has been established for some time. People from the East Coast fought with the Qing people for many years and finally gained the upper hand. Now, they have long stood firmly, expanded their defense zones repeatedly, naturalized more native tribes, and carried out successful work on household registration and civil servants, and their strength has increased greatly. On the other hand, their opponent, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, had a feeling that they could not support themselves after losing the support and help of the Russian Cossacks. The Ningguta Metropolitan area was abolished and withdrawn. Now it has reached the point where the tribes are gradually in a state of distraction, the tribes are centrifuged, and the trees are scattered, and there is no one else.

Basically, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty's influence east of the Songhua River has dropped to its historical lowest point. The foundation laid by generations of people laid by Huangtaiji has almost been ruined by these unworthy descendants. Without the influence on local tribes, why should you order them to pay taxes, give up their troops, and send troops? Without the personnel, food and supplies provided by these tribes, you can do nothing with the small towns in the Qing Dynasty with garrisons and governments? Maybe it will be pulled out in the end!

Therefore, the tribes living in Manchuria are very important. Their people's hearts and consciences determine the final victory or defeat of the East Coast and the Qing Dynasty on this fertile black soil. After all, population has always been the most precious wealth on this uninhabited land. Without population, there is no potential for war. Then everything is empty. How much you eat will eventually be spit out with the capital and the profit!

Through years of continuous efforts, the East Coast people have basically opened up the situation east of the Songhua River. Through the pressure of the east, north and west directions, they have basically formed an encirclement of Ningguta, which is also the main reason why the Qing government once proposed to abandon this important stronghold. It can be said that as long as the East Coast people are willing and pay a certain price, they can completely take down Ningguta and further squeeze the Qing power to the south. However, now it seems that they are more willing to use a relatively peaceful model to lose less of their own strength, and by influence and control the servant tribe, they will drive away the Qing Dynasty away. After all, this is the greatest value of cannon fodder, and the living space they generated after "harm each other" with the Qing Dynasty can naturally be filled by immigrants from Shandong, Ningshao and even other places.

"According to the order of Chen Kezhi, the captain of the Hei Water Development Team, today the chief of the Tungus tribe, Na Shun, came to join the tribe to join the west of the Songhua River, and was willing to settle in the area controlled by our side, pay various taxes, and assume various obligations, including military service. Captain Chen agreed to the request of the Nashun tribe, and gave a batch of woolen, cotton coats and liquor to the department. At the same time, he promised to pay 3,000 yuan of military pay to Nashun, and the expenses were paid by the Harbin Fort Treasury. Captain Chen Xu's unit had 300 hereditary military positions and was stationed in Fort No. 6 west of the Songhua River,

He guarded the border for the country. Because he was intercepted by the Qing army in Naowen City on the way to surrender, the Nashun tribe lost all the food, livestock and other materials. The entire tribe's population walked through a lot of hardships, using weeds, bark and fruits to fill the hunger, and his health was not good. Therefore, the Harbin Fort Treasury should also spend some of the grain to provide relief to the Ministry. The property and cash given by superiors should be allocated as soon as possible to restore vitality as soon as possible. In addition, Nashun was summoned to Hailanpao Port to report on his work 10 months ago. If the deadline is not reached, the Harbin Fort Guard Guard may take decisive measures."

After reading this document, Bei Zhensheng first pondered for a moment, then rang the bell and called one of his own secretary. Because Harbin is still a military and political district, the commander of the security guard Bei Zhensheng also serves in military and political positions, so he has two secretaries in civil affairs. He asked him: "Have the Shun Ministry been resettled?"

When the secretary was stunned when he heard this, the tribe that had been in poverty before automatically appeared in his mind, so he nodded and said, "It's settled, Commander. The Security Command urgently rescued a batch of military rations and clothing. Manager Han from the Bank of Taiwan also donated twenty large livestock and two tons of old grains, which you praised at the time."

"Hi, look at my memory!" Bei Zhensheng patted his forehead in annoyance and smiled helplessly: "I have been too busy recently. I have been in a row for two nights. Not only can I feel a little unable to bear it, but my head is not very good. I didn't even remember it for a while. Who, right, what is he doing now?"

"Deputy Commander Chen distributed some old weapons in the warehouse and a batch of arrows and ammunition to patrol about 30 kilometers away. This tribe can have about hundreds of strong men, and the scale is quite large. Deputy Commander Chen is very satisfied and asked them to support the northwest as our first defense line." The secretary said: "Of course, if you want more detailed information, you still have to go to Deputy Commander Chen. This is handled by him. We only know a rough idea in the civil affairs department."

"Well, I understand." Bei Zhensheng nodded and said, "Now the new order has been released, and there are your civil affairs matters. You can copy this order from Miaojie later. It contains the Harbin treasury's food and salary. You can handle it as appropriate. My opinion is that even if the supplies we have at hand are not very abundant now, try not to deduct them as much as possible. After all, we have to make people work hard and give enough money and food. We still have this focus on the East Coast people."

The secretary glanced at the order and suddenly felt a lot of grief. It was going to be bleeding again! But since the superior had agreed, there was no room for him, a small secretary, to handle it according to the rules. As for where to make up for the future gap in money and food, he thought about it, so he had to submit more reports to his superiors. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to ask the Taiwanese bankers to "borrow" part of it temporarily, anyway, they are rich and generous.

However, it has to be mentioned here. Although people from the east coast migrated many immigrants from Denglai and Ningshao in the south, and even a small number of ronin came to settle in Japan, in Harbin Fort and Model Fort, the population is still pitifully small, and the land area has been reclaimed is naturally very small. Moreover, due to the cold climate, this place can only harvest one season a year, and can only grow crops with low yields such as rye and oats. Therefore, the grain harvest is significant and cannot be said to be abundant. In addition, the existence of a large number of non-productive government employees, soldiers and other purely consumed populations, Harbin Fort even needs to transfer a little grain every year, and a lot of meat comes in to adjust it, otherwise it is difficult to persist.

However, even if money, goods and food are tight, they must grit their teeth and spend money at this time. After all, they are military-controlled areas, and production is not the most important task. Expanding the sphere of influence and influence is the most important. Therefore, things like the placement of Nashun tribes who surrender will definitely have a lot in the future, especially at the moment when the influence of the East Coast people is getting bigger and bigger.

"You guys are hard to give up Shancai." Seeing his secretary's painful look, Bei Zhensheng immediately smiled and heard him say, "Don't worry, if our report is submitted this year, a large amount of money and food will be allocated soon. Now, North Manchuria is a ripe fruit for our East Coast Republic, and it can be picked immediately. Once these territories are controlled, it will become our obligation to restore local economic and social order. This obviously requires the assistance from the senior management of the Development Team. We will definitely not be able to rely on us alone. Therefore, don't hide the assets of Curry, and take them out. If you can attract more tribes to invest wholeheartedly, it will not be a loss."

The secretary nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and then he asked: "Sir Bei, I heard that the superior is in peace talks with the Qing Dynasty. We are still touching Ningguta and Naowen City. I'm afraid it's not appropriate? Will the superior have any bad views on us?"

"It's a worry, but it's a mess!" Bei Zhensheng commented disdainfully: "How could the negotiation be reached so quickly? Do you know what conditions proposed by Captain Chen Kechen? He proposed that the two countries take the watershed in central Manchuria as the boundary, the north ends to our east coast, and the south ends to be ruled by the Qing Dynasty. The Qing people would inevitably refuse to agree to this method of demarcation, because this means that they will be forced to give up the large territories north of the watershed and throw the so-called land of ancestors to our east coast people. The Qing court is afraid that the Qing court will not agree to such a ridiculous proposal. Therefore, there are still negotiations in this negotiation. It is estimated that the negotiations will be negotiated in the south. We are still far away. Captain Chen Kechen just doesn't want to negotiate peace with them. Don't you understand?"

The secretary immediately understood after hearing what Bei Zhensheng said. Ningguta and other things are okay. How could it be that the Qing Dynasty in Wencheng could not be lost without a fight? Because the location of this important node is really too critical: from here to west, it is Hulunbuir grassland, and then to west, it is the northern Mongolian in the desert. It is said that it is the basic structure of the Qing Dynasty, which is the so-called integration of Manchu and Mongolia. Moreover, from here to west and north, you can also contact the Russians. This line is obviously not intended to be broken for no reason.

So, it is necessary to ensure that the city of Naowen must be guaranteed, and it is impossible to give it to the East Coast people at the negotiating table. Therefore, from this perspective, if the East Coast people do not modify the conditions, the negotiations between the two sides will not be possible, which is undoubtedly possible. From this point of view, the land of the Denglai Development Team in Liaodong (Dandong, Kuandian and Donggou counties on the right bank of the Yalu River) will inevitably become a focus of the negotiations between the two sides. It is actually quite interesting to deal with them.

"Captain Chen's meaning is actually very obvious, that is, not to negotiate, continue to fight, continue to penetrate, continue to expand its territory and influence. The Qing Dynasty is now in trouble, and the power delivery in the bitter and cold land outside the pass is also not smooth. We are afraid of hair!" Bei Zhensheng snorted a match, ignited the stuffed pipe, and took a beautiful breath, then said: "Anyway, Captain Chen will take care of everything in this matter, and you don't have to worry too much. If there is insufficient money and food, the superior will naturally find a way."

It is said that since the Three Feudals of the Far East were split many years ago and each of them was in their own politics, the interests of the Three Feudals were now more obvious. The southern pioneering team, in a prosperous place in Jiangnan, had the voice of local peace and trade to be increasingly demanded. They were quite dissatisfied with constantly provoking the Qing Dynasty and damaging local interests. Therefore, even Ma Wenqiang had to consider their opinions a little. As for Denglai, due to historical reasons, there was no large number of old gentry, merchant class and social relations like Ningbo. Everything started over, so the government had strong control. However, for them, building a kingly paradise east of Jiaolai New River was the foundation, so they were more enthusiastic about peace talks with the Qing Dynasty. After all, the situation in China has changed drastically, and there is no need to force the Qing Dynasty to restrain it like this. What's more, even if the peace talks, the Qing Dynasty would not be likely to withdraw more than 100,000 troops stationed in Qingzhou Prefecture. They were not so stupid.
