Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 251 Colonization requires a new social structure!
"Your Majesty, large-scale migration is not easy. If it is not done well, many troubles may arise. Since ancient times, it has been a tradition to settle down and relocate."

Lin Shizhong said.

Lin Shizhong is now a 75-year-old octogenarian. He used to be the magistrate of Nanyang Prefecture in Nana and was responsible for the management of the Yellow River in this section.

During his tenure for 20 years.

There has never been an embankment accident in the river section where it is located.

He has a lot of research on river governance, and now he is also a special participant in the hearing, and he can be regarded as the "Yellow River Advisor" of Emperor Zhu.

"Tradition also needs to be divided into time. To control the foundation of the Yellow River, it is necessary to build flood control dikes along the river, set up flood discharge channels, and plant trees to prevent soil erosion. These will take up a lot of land." Zhu Daohua thought about the governance of later generations. Huang's experience speaks eloquently.

To prevent the bed of the Yellow River from getting too high, the fundamental way is to limit the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River.

As long as the amount of silt entering the Yellow River is reduced, and a large amount of silt is sent to the sea under the washing of drinking water, the riverbed of the Yellow River can be gradually lowered, and the lower the riverbed of the Yellow River, the higher the probability of flooding!
"I think that if you want to control the river, you must cure the root cause. The migration to northern Liaoning can start with the people on both sides of the Yellow River."

Zhu Daohua said.

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to immigrate in the Central Plains. In places like Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, and Anhui, there are a lot of poor people who can't afford food in their hometowns. Therefore, if we can open up immigration in northern Liaoning, they will be very enthusiastic!"

The one who was speaking was Huang Yue, another Qing Dynasty surrender, a native of Wuhu, Anhui. He was a well-known contemporary painter and also served as an official in Henan.

Emperor Zhu had heard of him because he had obtained Huang Yue's calligraphy and painting in later generations, so he had some reflections on this minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that it is also included in the entrainment of Emperor Zhu, I am afraid it will be of great use.

Now the Ming court has too many southerners and too few northerners.

This is not conducive to unity.

So now Emperor Zhu has also promoted a group of people from among some northern literati and gentlemen in the former Qing Dynasty. In addition, he has opened Enke in the north and set up the Beibang imperial examination.

For Emperor Zhu.

He doesn't really care much about who is more powerful, the southern officials or the northern officials.

Balancing the number of officials in different regions is actually a political issue.

This is a top priority related to whether Emperor Zhu can sit securely under his buttocks.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has a lot of cultivated land. As long as there are enough people, it can be cultivated at any time. The trouble is only the old forests in Liaobei and the swamps on both sides of the Songhua River. It really takes a lot of effort to develop them."

Peng Jun, governor of the Liao region, said.

"Now there are 23 guards in Liaodong, each with about [-] households and a population of about [-]."

"Vladivostok has [-] military settlements, and the scale is similar."

After Zhu Daohua heard Peng Jun's report, he pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "The land in Liaodong and Vladivostok is relatively easy to develop. Liaodong was originally a cultivated land, and it was a place for farming. It was only when the Qing government prohibited Han people from entering that it was abandoned. , and Vladivostok is close to the sea and can be transported by the sea, so it is easy to gain a foothold, but if you want to go deep into Liao territory, this kind of military station made by the guards may not be suitable for the inland."

Peng Jun was thoughtful when he heard the words, but Zhao Si who was on the side asked later: "Your Majesty, the Weisuo military station is based on the clan as the bond and the relationship between the same village and the same village as the basis. What's wrong with being able to twist the strength of the big guys into one rope?" where?"

Zhu Daohua shook his head upon hearing this.

He certainly didn't think this kind of social organization was good.

Because in Zhu Daohua's view.

Clan-like villages that rely on fellow villagers, clans, and blood ties have the advantages of convenient organization, but at the same time, they also have the disadvantages of being self-enclosed and exclusive.

in other words.

In Liaodong, which was firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty, this kind of clan-style military settlement could be established.

After all, there is no need to undertake too many tasks of foreign expeditions.

And in Lanfang, the disadvantages of this kind of clan military colony have already appeared-the expansion of Ming Dynasty in Borneo must rely on the troops sent by the Ming Dynasty to drive out the local aborigines, otherwise it will be a long time to rely on the clans of Jiaying Prefecture. In 200 years, it will not be possible to occupy all of Borneo.

And this is not something Zhu Daohua can afford!
To colonize, the clan must be broken up.

The immigration and reclamation in the Northeast will be a model for Ming to experiment in the Western Regions, Southeast Asia, and North America in the future.

And this board needs to learn from the experience and lessons in Borneo, and create a village that can be self-managed, collective labor, everyone can benefit from it, and everyone is willing to carry a gun to defend their own interests!
Such a village.

It is not something that clan villages in the south can do.

"Old Zhao, you have also worked hard in Nanyang. Don't you know the disadvantages of the mutual dependence of the same clan? You don't need it if you are not from the same clan, and you don't believe it if you are not from the same village. Those big clans in Lanfang have always only recognized the Hakka people in Jiaying Prefecture. If If it weren't for me to conquer by force and establish authority with muskets, how could Lan Fang, who is scattered in the sand, be twisted into a single rope?"

"Compared to Lanfang, the clan relationship here in the Central Plains is more complicated, and some clans have deep grievances, and fight every now and then. There are also conflicts between various sects and gangs, which are intertwined! It is equivalent to moving these contradictions to the Northeast intact."

"The coastal areas are fine. If you go to Heilongjiang, there will be remnants of the Qing Dynasty and the infiltration forces of Tsarist Russia. Only those clan villages can handle it? Will the imperial court send a large army to protect it? Then this immigrant The cost of dragging the side is insanely high!"

As Zhu Daohua said, a bright color appeared in his eyes.

He seems to have some ideas, and the organizational form in his mind is definitely a hundred times, a thousand times more effective than a clan-style village!
He thought of the collective mass production in the 60s and [-]s of later generations.

Collectivization of the countryside!

If it is possible to form a collectivized village in which everyone has a "share" and use collective farms integrating military and government as the basis for future social organizations in the Northeast, then this collectivized society in the Northeast will also be a powerful force for the Ming Empire to expand abroad in the future. cornerstone!
If thousands of collective farms appear, the Ming army can get millions of reserve troops and logistical supplies from them at any time.

Collective farms that are "specially capable of fighting" must also become impenetrable fortresses, and become a model of colonialism with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty!
just
What to do with this collective farm in Zhu Daohua's mind.

It was just a vague idea in his mind.

Certainly, the rural collectivization of later generations cannot be copied indiscriminately.

Because that and the collectivization approach are not profitable.

And what he believes in his heart is: the clan must not intervene in Daming's colonial collective farms.

This collective farm must break up all the original social structures and organizations.

Erase all the original social connections and interests of the farmers, and firmly bind their core interests to the collective farm.

Only by fighting for profit can such collective farms survive in Northern Liaoning, Southeast Asia, and North America!

Like seeds, sharp knives are inserted into every corner of the world.

Although in Zhu Daohua's mind, the production capacity of the "collectivized countryside" is not necessarily stronger than the small-scale peasant economy of "dividing fields to households".

But in terms of combat effectiveness.

That is absolutely going to blow up all clan systems, tribal systems, and serfdom systems.

The terrorist mobilization ability of later generations is clearly there.

So to colonize, to expand.

The rural structure of collective large-scale production is much better than the family system of scattered sand.

after all.

A structure like a clan has been proven by history to form a particularly effective organizational structure—as evidenced by countless invasions in history.

thought here.

Zhu Daohua seemed to have an idea.

He stood up, turned around and looked at the map spread out behind him.

Then he turned his head and said: "In advance, we will recruit some people on both sides of the Yellow River as experimental sites, and break up the structure of all clans and fellow villagers. I don't want a military village united by blood clans, but a collective farm with real fighting power." !"

"In addition. It is decreed to select some officials who have experience in expanding borders in Borneo, and produce good guard farmers to enter Beijing. I want to learn from them!"

Zhu Daohua said.

"Large-scale emigration is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but how to migrate, how to organize, how to manage themselves in foreign lands, collective production, and fight together, still needs to be studied carefully. The clan cannot bear this responsibility, so. Foreign colonization, I don't want it Clan, I want a new organizational model that can be applied in the Western Regions, Southeast Asia, Northeast China, Siberia, and even North America!"
