Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 171 The Furious Honjo Shigeru

If you just think that landlords have more land and live a comfortable life on land rent, you are completely wrong. Landlords actually undertake far more tasks than these. They are mediators of local disputes and the largest local lenders. At the same time, they will also help the government collect various taxes. They rely on the wealth in their hands to raise thugs, build arms, and even operate opium.

Some vile landlords openly rob men and women, and even some mountainous landowners have women's first night rights. They are not only local administrators, but also law enforcement officers. Cultural discourse power, it can be said that they are the local emperors one by one.

The existence of a large number of landlords is a malignant tumor that seriously restricts the development of the countryside and is also an obstacle to the construction of a modern society.For this class, destruction must be carried out. Of course, there are great difficulties in direct violent destruction, so we can only do it piecemeal first.

When Zhang Tinglan implemented the militia system, he began to do a job, which was to confiscate the guns in the hands of the landlords. Originally, the landlords owned a large number of weapons under the banner of self-defense.Generally, small landlords have more than a dozen guns of various types in their homes, and there are hundreds of them.

Now that the local security is taken over by the militia, their weapons must be handed over to the militia for use.Whether you like it or not, Fengjun's powerful force is behind, if you don't listen, you can clean them up at any time.

The targets of the land distribution this time are mainly disaster victims and tenants from all over the country. The land they rented before is now theirs as long as they can work hard for five years, so the enthusiasm is extremely high.

According to regulations, each person can be allocated five acres of land, and the first to get the land are the more than 3000 hungry people, and all of Bishun's land was allocated to them.Although it was the middle of winter, these common people couldn't help but look around every day.After the land has been divided into shares, lots are drawn to determine the ownership.

After a lot of intense work, they all owned their own land, and farm tools and cattle were distributed along with the land.Zhang Tinglan auctioned the confiscated manor to the public, and distributed [-]% of the income to the farmers for their settling expenses. Everyone can get three or five yuan. a little.You can have money to build a house, and you will have a place to live.

For these people, this is already the greatest luck, and their gratitude to Zhang Tinglan has reached a point where they can't be more, they don't care about the cold winter.Almost every day I went to the fields to clean up the ridges.Plan the direction of the canal.Arrange for a suitable wellhead location.

In addition, the biggest thing is to form a militia team. There are more than 3000 people, and a total of [-] militiamen will be sent out, all of which are the strongest young men. They have to train every day.Then be responsible for the nearby security patrol work.

After their patrol work started, it also marked the end of the landlord's armed forces, handing over all guns and ammunition, and disbanding the thugs who were originally raised.If Jiangyang bandits, bandits and bandits are concealed, they will be severely punished.

These landlords also want to resist, but their strength is very limited. Originally, the most powerful were the nobles of the Eight Banners, but they were all guilty of treason. The backbone can only be disposed of by Feng Jun.

What's more, there are even more terrible things. The tenant farmers under them have also moved their minds. The land rent is similar. If they work for five years, the land is their own, but they can't get a piece of land after working for a lifetime. What a gap.

Therefore, some quick-minded tenant farmers took the initiative to pretend to be victims of the disaster and asked for land distribution. Zhang Tinglan was also happy. Anyway, he had extra land in his hands. If he could use this opportunity to shake the control of the landlord class, it would be great. If one more peasant is won, the power in one's hands will be stronger, and the traditional power will be weaker.

Various affairs are being carried out rapidly. Although it is still winter, the people in southern Liaoning have already felt the breath of spring in advance. More and more people have their own land, and they are full of hope for the future.

"Zhuoyan, everyone is busy over there, you can't hide alone, you must know that the idea is all yours."

"Ling Ge, you have to be reasonable. I have an idea, so I need you to implement it. I can't do everything by myself. If that happens, you and County Magistrate Deng will lose their jobs!"

"Smart teeth, I won't argue with you." Yang Yuting smiled again and said: "Zhuoyan, I heard that you have borrowed from the bank again, and the amount is not small, I am afraid that you will have to make a big move."

"It's not a big deal. I'm going to build a coal-iron joint venture."

When Yang Yuting heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he grabbed Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, you are not joking, the steel factory is a big deal, with steel, there is military industry, this is everything basis."

War is the collision of steel. To measure the war potential of a country, the output of steel is the most important part. The so-called strong ships and guns are nothing more than piles of steel.

Since the Opium War, China has been repeatedly bullied by the West. The most fundamental thing is the backwardness of industry. This is a point that many people are aware of.But to be clear, it is not so easy to actually build a factory.

The first is the investment issue. Heavy industry is no better than light industry, and requires long-term and large investment, and the early products are not comparable to foreign countries in terms of cost and quality. At this time, the government must provide protection.However, the Chinese government is so divided that it doesn't even have the most basic tariff autonomy. Western goods can drive straight in, so how can they develop heavy industry.

Most of the factories in China now are left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there are almost no new factories. Now that Zhang Tinglan suddenly said that he would build a steel factory, how could Yang Yuting be excited? If it is really going to be built, the development of Fengjun will be bright.

"Lingge, we are distributing the land to the common people this time. In the next five years, the common people will have to hand over half of the harvest. I will use this part of the harvest as collateral to borrow money from Fengtian Bank. I can loan at least several million. If the industrial group invests partly and the government provides some more, the funding problem will be solved. The machines are purchased from the United States, and some skilled workers are cheated in Russia. ?”

Zhang Tinglan's words were very general, but Yang Yuting could tell that Zhang Tinglan had already planned in all aspects, and he had to admire this young man's ability to make use of the topic.

"Humble words, building a steel factory is naturally the best thing to do, but without our own talents and relying entirely on foreigners, I don't feel at ease."

"How could it all depend on foreigners? Have you forgotten Mr. Kuang Rongguang? He inspected the coal mines in Benxi ten years ago, and now he is familiar with the road, and there is no problem at all."

Yang Yuting nodded, and then said: "Most of the mining areas in Benxi have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company has been established. In the hands of the Japanese, all the things produced belong to the Japanese, if you want to build a factory in Benxi, you will have to snatch food from the mouth of a tiger."

"What else can we do? If our Fengjun wants to be independent and develop stronger, we must work hard. There is no way."

"Well, if Japan is allowed to develop, the three northeastern provinces will be theirs sooner or later, so it's just waiting to die, and it's better to fight to the death."

Zhang Tinglan also thought about building factories in other places, but considering traffic and safety, he finally chose Benxi. Although there are Japanese forces here, it happens to be in the hinterland of Fengtian. If the Japanese dare to use force, the Fengjun will strangle them. To break the South Manchuria Railway, as long as the Feng army is strong enough, it is still unknown who will die.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan is also planning to use this opportunity to obtain real evidence that the Japanese support the Revolutionary Party, make them humiliated internationally, suppress their arrogance, and provide the possibility for Fengjun to build a factory.

Of course, the investigation will take time, and the temporary task is to stabilize Liaonan. Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan discussed the issue of Zhuanghe again.

"Humble words, the intelligence personnel we sent to Zhuanghe have already sent news that revolutionary parties from all over southern Liaoning are gathering in Zhuanghe. Most of them are helping to formulate combat plans, train the army, and maybe even participate in combat after putting on makeup."

When Yang Yuting said this, he was also worried, and Zhang Tinglan also frowned.

"Ningge, you say I'm hiding away, but I've been thinking about countermeasures. The Revolutionary Party and the Zongsha Party are two cards in the hands of the Japanese. If we abolish the Zongsha Party, the Japanese will definitely pay more attention to the Revolutionary Party. , to hold it even tighter, we must work out a comprehensive method to eradicate them in one fell swoop, and we must also kill the weeds and eradicate the roots without leaving any future troubles."

"Zhuoyan, I suggest that we play hard to get, and first conduct an inventory of the adjacent Haicheng and Yingkou areas, and push the militia system away. In this way, those revolutionary parties will have no room to survive, and they will gather in Zhuanghe. This kind of mob gathers The more people there are, the less combat effectiveness they have, on the contrary, they are scattered everywhere, like flies, lingering, and they are the most troublesome."

Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan were discussing countermeasures, but the Japanese military adviser Shige Honjo was furious. In a few days, a circle of blisters formed on the corners of his mouth, and his temper was extremely irritable.

This guy had just left from Longtoushan, and Feng Jun killed him. Pu Wei's armed force was completely finished. Not only was it finished, but Pu Wei, a boneless man, even confessed to the Japanese, which attracted international pressure. , the situation of the Japanese government is extremely difficult, and the pressure on Honjo can be imagined.

"Mr. Advisor, Fengjun's influence in southern Liaoning is growing. Do you think our uprising has been delayed?" He Tianjiong asked worriedly.

"No, absolutely not. The plan of the Great Japanese Empire cannot be changed. You must act immediately. I will let the bastards who dare to become bigger with the Empire taste the iron fist of the Empire." Ben Zhuangfan kept barking like a mad dog . (To be continued..)
