Chapter 975: One Million Disarmament
On the Chengtian Gate Tower, Li Jing was already talking softly with Gai Yu.
"How are the preparations for the production and construction corps?" A large number of foreign soldiers were being organized, which is a hidden danger. Too relied on the armed forces of the British soldiers, and the result might be the same as the Tang Dynasty. The thugs turned against each other and turned against each other and became robbers. For Li Jing, there is a truth that he knew very well, that is, the Hu people should never control too strong military power, even if they were fighting for the Qin army. The guns came out of power, which is a famous saying that everyone in later generations was short. No matter what the purpose was at the beginning, if the Qin army relied too much on these foreign soldiers, unexpected things might happen in the end. To control these Hu people, the best way is to disperse and disrupt them and prevent them from controlling the army. In this way, even the tough Hu people would no longer be brave. Li Jing had some soldiers, so he would not easily make too many Hu people become Qin army soldiers. The best arrangement was to let the Hu people be farmers and herdsmen, not soldiers.
"We have already planned to establish military garrisons outside Shanhaiguan and Junduguan and Lulongguan. From Rehe, western Liaoning, Liaodong, and Andong to the newly captured northern large areas of land, it is currently planned to establish two hundred production corpses, each with 30,000 people. A total of 6 million farmers are recruited, including 3.5 million Han people, 1.5 million Bohai people, and 1 million other tribes. They are arranged in a scattered arrangement. The production corps will be based on companies, with 100 people per company, and one company is a military garrison. Three companies and three hundred people are a regiment.
, the first battalion is a large army station. Go up, three regiments have 3,000 people. Three regiments have 10,000 people in a brigade, and three brigades have 30,000 people. The regiment mainly reclaims the army, but they also wear a small amount of military armed forces. They will conduct military training in addition to production, while reclaiming the north and guarding the border. The temporary service time of the regiment is five years, and after five years is over, fresh blood will be recruited every year to replenish the service. Another point is that although the regiment does not belong to active service, it belongs to the peasant and soldiers system, so family members are not allowed to be carried. This is also to prevent the tribal forces from reviving in the Northeast."
Li Jing liked this plan of the General Staff Academy. He had just conquered the Northeast, but Li Jing was worried about returning the place to the tribe. Even in order to develop the Northeast, he had to be careful. The first batch would recruit six million people to develop the Northeast. This plan was very large. But for the Qin vassal, whose population has exceeded 20 million, this was not impossible. As early as before the Qin vassal won the Battle of Bohai, the Qin vassal conducted a comprehensive census of the population within the vassal. This census was not the ordinary check of the original court. It turned out that the imperial court counted the population, and the rest counted the household registration of taxes. The group of people who did not pay taxes were not in the demographic statistics, and at this time of the late Tang Dynasty, there were really many people who did not pay taxes.
First of all, there were monks, nuns, Taoist crowns, and these people did not pay taxes. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, there was an activity to destroy Buddhism. It was because the power of Buddhism and Taoism was too large at that time. They occupied a large amount of land and had a large number of serfs. Not only did they not pay taxes on land, but the population that was dependent on them did not pay taxes, and they did not even serve. The land in temples and Taoist temples was very large at that time, occupying a small part of the land in the world, and they had a larger population. Many people even hanged the land directly under the name of the temple and then could be exempted from taxes. Not only that, the number of monks and Taoists alone was also very large. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, there were as many as millions of monks and Taoists in the country who were ordered to return to secular life.
However, after Wuzong, Xuanzong came to power not long after. Wuzong's uncle, Emperor Xuanzong, had escaped from the palace before ascending the throne. It is said that he was a monk in a temple in Jiangxi for a period of time. Therefore, after he came to power, he began to restore the power of Buddhism and Taoism, especially after Xuanzong's son Yizong came to power, he worshiped Buddhism. The power of Buddhism and Taoism quickly recovered and even began to rise. At this time, wars were frequent, but the temples and Taoisms increased a lot.
Millions of monks and Taoists, plus more hidden residents who are dependent on their names, is a huge number.
In addition, the slaves of the Tang Dynasty were not among the population counted. Even those who were semi-free people who had already left the slaves had no household registration, but had an identity record in a department in Chang'an. There were many slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and there were more than 100,000 official slaves in Chang'an City, which did not count the number of private slaves. Especially in the manors in various places, there were a large number of serfs. In addition to slaves, those people who fled from their hometowns for various reasons and hid in the mountains, and in order to evade taxes, they took the initiative to name the land and identity of the farmers under the names of wealthy landlords of the aristocratic families.
In short, in this large population census, the Qin vassal area did not include those areas that were not actually controlled south of the Huaihai Province. The Qin vassal population had reached more than 23 million, which was about 8 million more than the numbers reported by government officials in various places. This number was amazing. In addition to those hidden households, monks, nuns and Taoist crowns, there were also a large number of slaves, refugees and refugees. The Qin vassal did not count according to tax household registration, but directly counted the number. No matter what the identity was, they were all the same population. At this moment, the Qin vassal population increased by 8 million.
During the Sui Dynasty, there was a national census, which increased by more than one million people at a time. At this time, the Qin vassal investigation was more thorough, and more than eight million were added at once. Li Jing formulated new strategies for those monks, hidden households, slaves, etc. who were originally not in the family. Through many tough measures, the improvement plans were made to the Buddhist and Taoist forces, confiscated a large amount of monks and Taoist property, temples and Taoist industries, and many monks and Taoist return to secular life. More than two million monks and Taoist people were returned to secular life, and countless temples and Taoist industries were confiscated. For those slaves, Li Jing also issued new decrees, and could obtain freedom from the military service, or immigrate outside the pass, and cultivate outside the pass for five years, and also gain free civil status. For their original owners, the government compensated their main force at a certain amount to abolish the master-servant relationship between the two parties. Those hidden households with affiliation were also found and separated.
It is under the influence of these measures that a large number of slaves and refugees from other places were resettled to the Northeast every year.
After conquering more than 100 tribes of all sizes this time, the Qin vassal not only obtained a large number of territory, but also added a large number of new populations.
When Li Jing conquered Goguryeo, he obtained a population of nearly one million. Now, he has conquered the entire Northeast and conquered a large number of people. Bohai Country alone had more than 600,000 households and nearly four million taxpayers. If it were their slaves, monks and soldiers, the population of Bohai Country once exceeded eight million at its peak, which is also the reason why they were once called the Haidong Shengguo. Although they have weakened in recent years, they have also experienced the same period of decline.
After several years of war, when Li Jing completely controlled the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai Sea still had a population of nearly five million. The Khitan, Shiwei, Heishui, Tatars, Uighurs and other more than 100 tribes in the northeast region were greatly hit by the Qin vassal in recent years, losing a lot of population. A small part of them fled to Siberia further north and the Mongolian Plateau more west. However, the total number of people who remained in the northeast was still as many as three million.
The Qin vassal of more than 23 million, plus the nearly eight million population in the north, the Qin vassal of today has more than 30 million people. This number is huge. Even if the other vassal states in the court are combined, the taxpayer population is only about 20 million. To calculate the hidden slaves of monks, Taoists, and Taoists who are not registered, it is about 30 million.
Qin Fan now has half of the population in the world.
However, even if Qin Fan has a population of 30 million, it is a huge number to transport 6 million people to the Northeast. This means that the 6 million peasant soldiers cannot be all young men. Sure enough, Gai Yu added to Li Jing, "There will be four million male soldiers and two million female soldiers in the six million army." In recent years, Qin Fan has always advocated that women come out and take on more jobs that were originally men. Under the leadership of Li Jing, in this chaotic world today, women come out to do things and are gradually accepted by everyone. It is normal for women to serve in the army, or even women to work. But it is unprecedented to recruit a full 2 million young women to serve in the distant Northeast for five years.
Li Jing thought about it. In such an era, there was no way for men to put women in many positions. But this was in ancient times, and there was still a lot of inconvenience to recruit women on a large scale to the Northeast. Li Jing thought about it and said that he could consider recruiting some young couples to go to the Northeast for farming in the form of husband and wife. However, this is temporarily limited to Han people, and for Hu people, it is necessary to not let Hu people take women back. If Han couples have served for five years, they can also choose. If they are willing to stay in the Northeast, they can divide the land and let them settle down on the spot. If they are unwilling to stay, let them come back again after the service.
The recruitment of the Production and Construction Corps is not mandatory, it is more similar to recruiting employees in enterprises. The five-year contract and salary will be good. Especially for those slaves and foreign refugees, serving five years of peasant and military service can become free people and obtain a piece of land of their own. Even in the Northeast outside the pass, this is very attractive to them.
The Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Revenue and the Bureau of Investigation once submitted a report to Li Jing, stating that if the Northeast region outside the control is developed, and not only can it maintain local control, but also feed back to the supply of the inner city, it is necessary to at least transport a large population to the Northeast region, so that the Qin vassal control population in the Northeast reaches about 30 million. This is a huge number. For the Qin vassal today, the entire population of only 30 million is only 30 million, which means that the development of the Northeast may take ten or even twenty or thirty years to truly make the Northeast the Beidakura of the Qin vassal.
