President Meng's hundreds of thousands of laborers, most of them are official slaves in North Korea, and there are people from all over the Qing Dynasty who come to President Meng to beg for a living, in the previous statement, called people who broke through the Kanto, and many of them were slaves that President Meng asked him to buy from Jiangnan, if these people were not bought by President Meng, they would also be sold to the Americas, and live the kind of life of digging for gold in short pants."
Ugh."
Princess Katrina Kafu sighed softly, "It's really too difficult to develop, President, do you feel a lot of pressure" President Katrina smiled and said: "It's okay, it's really okay, you haven't been hungry, it's more stressful" Princess Katrina Kafu looked at President Moe in confusion.President Meng is not the second generation of rich, nor is he the second generation of officials, he is a modern sling, and he can be regarded as a person who has suffered hardships, although before crossing the rebirth, life has been very well-off, but when he just left school and just worked in modern times, he was really hungry.For a person who has been hungry, these difficulties now, it is really nothing, at least more than two million people have followed him, following him to make a living, thinking of this, President Moe's heart is warm, he is not fighting alone, he is followed by a country Moe President knows that Princess Katrina Kafu can't understand, and doesn't want to explain."
The president has been a wealthy family since he was born, as if he has suffered a lot, I have never been hungry, but I guess that hunger must be very bitter.Is the president hungry?"
said Princess Katrina Kaf, nodding.President Meng smiled slightly, I was hungry and wanted to go online, looking back, what a stupid, hehe.The future is really like a cloud, President Meng smiled self-deprecatingly.Now President Meng really likes the life of the ancients, but there are a little fewer modern products, and it's still very cool to get used to it, and it feels very good to have no network, and I haven't watched a subordinate film for a long time, and my heart is cute.President Meng took Princess Katrina Kaf's hand and left the barracks, the training of the Danzhou army, basically a large military fortress in Danzhou Port, which is very close to the Hongpu Military Academy, and it is already the limit to accommodate tens of thousands of troops, and there is a garrison regiment.It is also very close to President Meng's mansion, basically around Danzhou Port, President Meng likes to build together at the beginning stage, only the industrial area is fully enclosed, more than 30 industrial areas are concentrated in a long row on the side of the Yalu River, where millions of workers live, living very densely.President Moe goes back every day and is very happy to see the rows of houses, the wide streets, and the workers who go to and from work."
It's only been less than a year, and all the housing problems have been solved, and when I first arrived, everyone still lived in tents."
Princess Katrina Kafu probably guessed what President Moe was happy about, and said with a smile.President Meng nodded, "Yes, life always passes so fast, as long as the local area does not suffer a blow, the construction speed will be faster, and in the future, there will be more and more people." ”Princess Katrina Kaave sighed, "Will the local be beaten in" President Moe waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this topic, because he didn't have a bottom in his heart.Prince Gong arrived at the same time in the form of a diplomatic letter from Prime Minister Yamen and an informal letter from British Minister Witt Ma in the name of the Consul General of the British Consulate General in China.The two letters were severely worded, President Meng did not convene the highest meeting, and directly asked Princess Katrina Kafu to copy the two letters to various places, and posted them all over the jurisdiction of DanzhouPresident Meng wants to see the public opinion of Danzhou, to see if these people have formed a cohesive force in the time he has been operating for a year, the Huacui Association has been formed, and the army has also been formed, but the Huacui Society and the army still need to be built on the common people, and these people who have been brought together for a short time, Is it President Meng's common people, President Meng's personality cult is not low, but it is only established within the Huacui Society.Representatives from all walks of life and representatives from various districts expressed their determination, which still satisfied President Meng.Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao came to find President Meng, the two of them had nowhere to go before President Meng did not negotiate with the Qing court, and now go back, in case the talks collapse, the first to kill the two of them, as for Xuan Huang and Xu Xiangzhi, they don't have to worry, because they are all in the American Concession."
Yuemeng, what should I do now, I heard that the imperial court has found the British, and if you want us to withdraw from the arms, you can quit."
Xuan Zong said.Xuan Hongtao didn't speak, his face looked anxious, no need to ask, he had a thought with Xuan Zong, both of them were official fans, and they were reluctant to wear the hat of the Qing court.They hope to maintain the status quo, on the one hand, for the sake of hats, on the other hand, they don't think that Xuan Yuemeng's strength can do anything, you know, the Qing court is in the north, even if it is fighting in the northwest, there is no big problem to explode two or three hundred thousand troops at any time, it depends on whether the Qing court has this determination, let alone two or three hundred thousand, as long as the Qing court makes up 30,000 troops with similar strength as Song Qingbu, there is enough food and grass, enough shells, enough guns and ammunition, as soon as it opens to the northeast, President Meng has to kneel down and really kneel, no matter how powerful the military fortress in Danzhou Port is, We can't let more than 2 million people shrink into the fortress, and we can't keep in touch with the outside world, eat and store food every day and wait for death.In the end, President Meng had no choice but to go up the mountain to be a bandit, which would be funny."
The arms will never be withdrawn, and if the Qing court does not agree to my request, this battle will continue to be fought," President Meng said lightly.Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao were shocked, both of them really couldn't figure it out, the Xuan family had never produced such a person in their eight lives, who knew that Xuan Yuemeng was such a three-year-old child who was only a few days old, so angry, and so hard-hearted "The New Year will be in a few days, and in the first month, you will be three years old, you listen to grandpa, don't confront the imperial court, you are still young, you don't know the strength of the imperial court, the Huai army can increase troops at any time, on the surface, Li Hongzhang only has thirty or forty thousand horses in his hands, and there are many old Huai troops who have only retreated for a short time, and they can be summoned at any time." , After a few years, the people who fought the Taiping Army and the Twist Army will be old and will not be on the battlefield for a long time, and your strength will develop a little, and it will not be too late to argue with the court. ”Xuan Zonglu said earnestly, and his analysis was also very reasonable.President Meng smiled slightly: "Although what you said makes sense, it's not that I don't have the patience to wait for a few years now, but if I don't resist, I will be suppressed by the Qing court and there is no way to develop, this is not a matter of waiting for a few years but a few years later, we are not only difficult to maintain the status quo, but also may regress, I am now a country in my hands, the country is regressing, people are gone, what else is developing" Xuan Yuemeng said is also very reasonable, industrial development must be based on the market, and the production of things cannot be sold, In addition, although the bandits in this part of Danzhou Port have been cleared, Fengcheng, Caohekou, Benxi, Kuandian, and a large area of land outside Danzhou Port are still complex in the structure of mountain people, and bandits are rampant in this area, including Manchu, Han, Korean, Mongolian, Hui, Zhuang, Xibe, Miao, Yao, Daur, Yi, Tujia, Dong, Tibetan, Uygur, Buyi, Li, Kirgiz, and other 18 ethnic groups.The Manchus even accounted for sixty percent of the Northeast was the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the entire land in the Northeast was almost barren, which is why a bunch of people in the late Qing Dynasty wanted to break into the eastern part of the country.Large tracts of land are deserted.Danzhou is located in the east of Liaoning, on the right bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yalu River.It faces North Korea across the river in the southeast, Jilin in the northeast, Fengcheng in the west, Huanren in the north, and Benxi in the northwest, with a total area of more than 60,000 square kilometers and a border line of more than 2,000 kilometers.It is located in the transition zone between Changbai Mountain Range and Qianshan Mountain Range, and in the mountainous and hilly area of Liaodong fault block.The terrain is inclined from north to south, from northwest to southeast, the average altitude of the northwest high is 500 meters, the highest mountain is 13,361 meters, the average altitude of the southeast low is 10 meters, the mountain is generally 300 to 500 meters, and the ladder of the middle mountain, low mountain and hill is in turn.The mountain is affected by geological formations, mainly in the east-west direction, followed by the northeast direction, with valleys and small plains of uneven size in between.Mountains and hills account for about 85 percent of the total area, and mountain valleys and rivers account for about 15 percent of the total area.The average altitude of Kuandian County is 400 meters.The composition of mountains, water and fields is roughly "nine mountains, half water and half fields".Such a landform, it is impossible to develop agriculture at all, and, even if it is all fertile soil, President Meng will not take millions of people to farm, funny by farming thousands of kilometers of borders, not to mention development, not to mention external expansion, if President Meng does not gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, just busy bandits in the territory are not busy, in the jurisdiction of Danzhou, at least thousands of bandits, the total number of bandits is not less than 20,000, this is really not an exaggeration, at this time, at least more than 500,000 bandits in the entire Northeast, in the chaotic era, Bandits, outcasts, dying people in abject poverty and bandits, there is no clear boundary at all, and when people are hungry, everyone can become bandits.What makes President Meng most depressed is that no matter how kind his Danzhou treats the people, few locals in the Northeast come to Danzhou to apply to become nationals.The ideas of this era limit the speed of development of President Meng, the concept of people is like this, where he was born, where his father is from, he thinks where he is from, his parents are not far away, and he will die at home when he dies.Coupled with the fact that the Qing court did not allow the Han people to leave the customs for a long time, resulting in the current situation of the Northeast being sparsely populated and bandits rampant, President Meng knew that this situation was not until more than half a century later in the original history, when the devils came over, and it was still very serious, Zhang Dashuai was the biggest bandit, and it was not until 80 years later that the establishment of the Great Heavenly Empire was improved."
Internal and external troubles, alas, what do you think of Yuemeng" Xuan Zonglu turned on the nagging mode again.President Meng smiled faintly and interrupted Xuan Zonglu's words, "You go back to the Meng Mansion to rest, keep talking, and it's not constructive, hehe." ”Xuan Zong blew his beard angrily, Xuan Hongtao saw that Xuan Yuemeng's face was not good, and knew that Xuan Yuemeng was also worried, so he pulled the old man, "Dad, we can't do anything, just let Yuemeng get it herself." ”Xuan Zonglu sighed, "Otherwise, it's better to surrender to the imperial court and donate your family property than to lose your life." ”President Moe Khan took Princess Katrina Kaf's hand and left."
Immediately reply to the Qing court and Wittoma, the wording should be harsh, if the Qing court does not agree to our request to build a strategic partnership, the war will not end," President Moe said to Princess Katrina Kaf.Princess Katrina Kafu nodded, "Arrange it right away." ”"Inform Lu Kangtian that starting today, the three regiments of the field brigade will take turns to enter the mountains to suppress bandits, and the two battalions of the Danzhou Garrison Regiment will be transferred to block various mountain roads.Tell Lu Kangtian that they are tired tactics, and it is useless for all of our field brigades of more than 6,000 people to be sent into the mountains, such a large mountainous area, let alone more than 6,000 people, even 60,000 people, and don't want to catch a bandit," President Meng continued.Princess Katrina Kafu snorted, "Don't you promote the policy this time?"
"Propaganda while fighting, propaganda is useless, it's too wasteful of time, we were new to the country, and now it's been a year since the founding of Danzhou, and the bandits have long known our policy, and they will slowly publicize it everywhere in the future, and don't do anything else."
Destroy all the bandits' dens, leave leaflets, so that the bandits have nowhere to stay, so they will be savages in the mountains, and order the mountain people to relocate within a time limit, either move out of the Danzhou boundary, or report to the construction corps," President Meng said coldly.t1706231537:
