Fengxian Jiangshan

The roe deer is beaten with sticks to scoop up the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice cooker.This sentence is often used to describe the abundance of the Great Northern Wilderness. Of course, this phenomenon has almost disappeared in later generations, but at this time, Zhang Tinglan dares to say with absolute certainty that this is true. The abundance of the three eastern provinces is far from being comparable to other places. of.

In particular, it has not been developed for a long time and is sparsely populated. Many animals do not know that they are afraid of people, and they can catch pheasants like pulling carrots.The rich products and thick black soil have a fatal attraction for immigrants in the pass.

Originally, Zhang Tinglan focused on a large number of immigrants. Now that his father is in charge of Jilin's overall situation, the development of Jilin is his own business. Naturally, Zhang Tinglan has to pay more attention. He put forward his own ideas to Lao Zhang. 50 immigrants from Jilin.

Let Jilin's total population reach 400 million. With these populations as the foundation, it will not be difficult to support [-] soldiers.Zhang Tinglan is not prepared to put all the immigrants on the land. A considerable part of them will be sent to the cities to engage in industry and commerce. Industry and cities complement each other.

Most of the factories are located near major cities with convenient transportation. Of course, a large factory can also give birth to a city. Zhang Tinglan has already started planning for industrial development, and a large number of laborers are indispensable.

"Zhuoyan, I have no objection to emigrating to Jilin, but we must not forget Fengtian and Heilongjiang. The three eastern provinces all need immigrants, and a bowl of water must be leveled."

"Marshal, I estimated that if the three provinces in the Northeast attract 150 million immigrants each year, the number of immigrants will reach 500 million within ten years, and people will continue to live and reproduce. After ten years, the population of the Northeast will exceed 3000 million. Absolutely Not a problem. In fact, each province is almost 50!"

In fact, in the original history, Zhang Zuolin and his son also attached great importance to the work of immigration. At the time of the September 3000th Incident, the population of the Northeast had reached more than [-] million, basically at the same rate as Zhang Tinglan estimated.

"Marshal, how about we formulate a general regulation for the immigration of the three provinces, and then make fine-tuning for each province according to its own situation?"

"It's a good idea. It's just that it's a bit unfair to do it." Lao Zhang sighed heavily, and then said: "Prime Minister Duan got stuck in our appointment, and I, the Fengtian Warlord, was in charge of three provinces. inconvenient."

After Xu Lanzhou and Gao Shibin launched the rebellion, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces suddenly had a power vacuum.When Lao Zhang asked Zhang Zuoxiang to temporarily act as the governor of Jilin, he also made a request to the Beiyang government.Let them implement this appointment.

In addition, Lao Zhang also sent messages to Duan Qirui through some people.Promote Lao Zhang one step higher and become the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, so that Lao Zhang can manage the three provinces in a legitimate manner.But the old Duan blocked this appointment, not only did not give Zhang Zuolin the title of patrol envoy, but Zhang Zuoxiang's position was also lowered.

The old Duan only gave Zhang Zuoxiang the title of supervising the aftermath, and asked him to temporarily manage Jilin's military affairs.Of course, Lao Duan also knew that the situation in the three eastern provinces was too chaotic, so he didn't send another warlord to add to the chaos. Zhang Zuoxiang's power was actually similar to that of the warlord, and he just did things.It is true that some names are not correct.

The governor of Jilin is still Guo Zongxi. He has cooperated with Zhang Zuoxiang and his son for a long time, and the cooperation is relatively tacit. The real trouble is Heilongjiang.The Feng army initially sent troops under the banner of supporting Zhu Qinglan, so after defeating Xu Lanzhou, Zhu Qinglan was still the governor of Heilongjiang, and the governor fell on Bi Guifang's head.

Wu Junsheng only got the title of Deputy Military Affairs Office. In name, his power is not as great as that of Zhang Zuoxiang's aftermath supervisor. Old Wu is also very dissatisfied. The most powerful Xu Lanzhou fell and was replaced by a more powerful Wu Junsheng.

Since Lao Zhang does not have the title of patrol envoy, it is difficult to make unified appointments to the officials of the three northeastern provinces, and many government affairs cannot be carried out, so Zhang Zuolin is also very depressed.

"Marshal, you don't have to worry. Whether Duan Qirui admits it or not, you are the master of the three eastern provinces. It doesn't matter what your title is. The important thing is that the entire army and tens of thousands of guns are under your command!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin felt warm in his heart. He could clearly see who was close and who was distant!

"Marshal, Duan Qirui can keep his reputation, we can completely bypass him and unify the three eastern provinces."

"Oh?" Old Zhang's eyes also brightened. He didn't know how to completely control the three eastern provinces. Beiyang stumbled, and the pressure from the Japanese did not disappear. The most urgent thing was to unify all forces.

"Zhuoyan, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

"Marshal, I suggest starting with financial rights. After the war, Jilin's economic system almost collapsed, so I asked my father to issue a statement on behalf of Jilin, merging Jilin's official bank account into Fengtian Bank, unifying the currencies of the two provinces, and abolishing Jilin. Then Heilongjiang is following up, I think Zhu Qinglan is a smart person, and he will be willing to hand over power if he reciprocates. After the monetary policies of the three provinces are unified, let Mr. Minyuan take the lead in unifying the fiscal policies of the three provinces, so that the financial power will be completely unified."

Fiscal power and monetary power have always been two sides of the same coin, and must be used together. It seems that only the European Union in later generations foolishly launched the euro and unified currency, but failed to unify finances, which caused the subsequent debt crisis.

"After the financial power is unified, don't you still carry the name of the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces to suppress bandits? You might as well set up a headquarters and ask the military leaders of the three provinces to participate together. The only person who is qualified is Wu Junsheng, my father, and then Adding Zhu Qinglan, Uncle Wu and my father are both your sworn brothers, like brothers and sisters, and Zhu Qinglan has received your favor, so how can he oppose you, and you can also use the name of the head of the headquarters to order Dong The three provinces, won’t the military power be unified like this!”

After Zhang Tinglan put forward his suggestion, Lao Zhang thought about it carefully, and immediately smiled. This method is indeed good. As long as he holds the gun barrel and money bag firmly in his hand, the three provinces in the east will actually fall into his hands. No one can take it away.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang was still a little moved. When he first met Bao Guiqing, he proposed to unify the currency, but Bao Guiqing repeatedly shirked the blame. In fact, everyone knows that giving up the power of currency issuance is tantamount to cutting flesh, but Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan The two can take the initiative to raise this matter, which shows their loyalty.

Old Zhang even regretted it a little. He directly supported Zhang Zuoxiang and let his army stationed in Jilin, so there would be no troubles later. It seems that these old brothers are reliable at critical times!

Zhang Zuolin was very moved, but he ignored the ghostly thoughts of the little fox in front of him. The unified currency has indeed weakened the local power in Jilin, but don't forget that Fengtian Bank is still in the hands of Zhang Tinglan. In fact, this power has not escaped. Zhang Tinglan's palm was just moved from the left hand to the right hand.

By the way, he also abducted the monetary power of Heilongjiang, so Zhang Tinglan is also an out-and-out winner.As for the establishment of the Bandit Suppression Headquarters, Zhang Tinglan had a deeper idea. He actually wanted to change Fengjun's patriarchal style and become a committee system.

In the original history, after Lao Zhang served as a tour envoy, he was the veritable master of the three eastern provinces, and he could do everything arbitrarily.But once Zhang Tinglan's method is followed, the so-called Bandit Suppression Headquarters is established, and all major and minor matters must be agreed by all members.

If there are too many differences, votes will naturally be needed to decide. The minority obeys the majority. At present, Fengjun's territory is limited, and the number of people who can squeeze into this headquarters is also limited. It has almost no impact on Lao Zhang's power, but in the long run, Fengjun The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the size of the headquarters will inevitably expand.

Of course, this name will change, and become a military meeting, a military affairs committee, in short, no matter how it changes, as long as the voting decision-making can be guaranteed and the principle of the minority obeying the majority, Fengjun will change from a patriarchal system to a collective leadership system. Don't even try to act arbitrarily, and the strategic mistakes of Fengjun's blind entry into the customs in history can be avoided.

If Lao Zhang knew Zhang Tinglan's deep-seated thoughts, I am afraid that Lao Zhang would not spare him. Fortunately, Zhang Zuolin, an old-fashioned person, although quick-witted, did not see through such deep calculations, so he readily accepted it. Zhang Tinglan's suggestion.

The power of the three northeastern provinces underwent a brand-new reshuffle immediately. Due to the war, the currencies of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces were severely depreciated, and the common people complained a lot.

The chamber of commerce in Jilin took the lead in agreeing that all business transactions between each other would be settled by bills. Then Zhang Zuoxiang announced that the Jilin official bank would be merged into Fengtian Bank and become the Jilin branch of Fengtian Bank, which would be solely responsible for the currency exchange business.

With Zhang Zuoxiang as an example, Zhu Qinglan from Heilongjiang is also hard to resist. After all, without Lao Zhang, how could he return to Heilongjiang, so he can only reluctantly follow up and turn the official bank in Heilongjiang into a branch of Fengtian Bank. The currencies of the three provinces are completely unified.

The market for Fengtian has doubled in an instant. With the support of the three provinces, Fengtian Bank has also grown rapidly, and it has sufficient confidence to face the banks of the big powers.

After the currency was unified, Wang Yongjiang also immediately invited Guo Zongxi and Bi Guifang to demand the unification of fiscal policies in the three provinces. Bi Guifang wanted to object, but Guo Zongxi had already sided with Wang Yongjiang. They joined forces to force the palace, and Bi Guifang could only reluctantly compromise.

After successfully obtaining the financial power, Lao Zhang summoned the military leaders of the three provinces in the name of chasing down the bandits in Jilin and Heilongjiang, and established the so-called bandit suppression headquarters. He brought Sun Liechen and Zhang Jinghui in.

In fact, this headquarters is no different from the meeting of the Tiger Hall, except that there is one more Zhu Qinglan, but the status has been completely changed. Lao Zhang was able to issue orders to the three eastern provinces smoothly and became the well-deserved leader of the party.At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also got everything he wanted, and with enough stage, the next step is to invest heavily and develop!
