The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spnps: There was a little social activity yesterday, and the normal update speed resumed today.

The keyboard was broken when I was typing just now, and I was sweating!I hurried out and bought a new keyboard, which seemed to be quite powerful.

The land area of ​​the Philippines is 2997 million square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of ​​three Jiangsu provinces, and it is located in the tropics, with extremely rich products.

At the same time, there are 7,107 large and small islands in the Philippines, of which 2,400 islands have names and more than 1,000 islands have residents.Eleven major islands including Luzon, Mindanao and Samar account for 11% of the country's total area.The mountains on the island overlap, and more than two thirds of the island are hills, mountains and plateaus.

The military captured the Philippines, but Jiang Yu's consortium and those ethnic businessmen rushed into the Philippines. [

Every time an area is occupied, it is a game of spoils.

Assets that are useless to the military are all sold to consortiums and ethnic businessmen, while assets that are useful to the military are kept by the military itself.

The assets retained by the military are mainly small plantations of good value, which will be used to house veterans.

That is to say, these plantations will be sold to veterans to cultivate a middle class with military characteristics. Veterans do not need to buy in full and can pay back slowly.

The plantations in the plains were bought by the consortium.

The plantations in mountainous and hilly areas are all divided into pieces by the military, that is, they cannot be too small to ensure that the soldiers who run these plantations can become the middle class.It can't be too big, too big will occupy too much wealth.

The military supports them into the middle class.These veterans must also abide by some things. First of all, they cannot buy foreign goods if they have money, including most of the luxury goods.At the same time, we should not engage in acts that provoke conflicts between the rich and the poor.And there is also the need to prepare armaments and be ready to suppress indigenous riots at any time, so these soldiers can hold firearms.

Those ethnic businessmen bought some small mines that were not suitable for the centralized management of the consortium, and the large mines were bought by the consortium.

At the same time, there are those small islands. The islands inhabited by more than 6000 people were packaged and bought to the consortium.

These small islands may be more valuable in the future and can be sold to rich people as private islands.

When the National Defense Forces successively occupied the Philippines, the enclosure movement began.And in Indonesia, Central South Province.The enclosure movement started around the same time.

A large number of Aboriginal-owned lands were confiscated, leaving only those lands of meager value.

This led to the outbreak of indigenous riots in Indonesia, followed by butcher riots in the Philippines.

The Chinese military has long been prepared for these indigenous riots.Brutal and bloody suppression was given in the early stages of the outbreak of the riots.

The Chinese in Indonesia and the Philippines were also armed, making the Chinese join in the suppression.

The aborigines in Nanyang lacked firearms, and their weapons and equipment were extremely backward. This kind of suppression was simply a kind of massacre.And Jiang Yu had long been displeased with these Nanyang natives.

Directly massacred these Nanyang natives for fear of damaging the country's image in the future.Therefore, an enclosure movement that forced the aborigines to riot directly came out.

This will not only force the natives to revolt.In order to clean up the Nanyang monkeys and at the same time enable the consortium to enclose a large amount of land, it is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

On the other hand, although Central South Province carried out an enclosure movement, the scale of the riots was very small. [

This is mainly because the Republic of China provided a way out for those natives of the Indochina Peninsula who lost their land, that is, those natives of the Indochina Peninsula who lost their land could go to work on construction sites. Make a purchase.

Although the price is very low, the economy of Central South Province itself is not developed.After years of squeezing by the French, a little money is a lot of purchasing power for the farmers there.

Furthermore, their own occupation of land cannot bring them wealth and food and clothing.The French squeezed too hard.Now that they are separated from the land, but they can have enough to eat, they are naturally willing.

Only those landowners were unwilling, so some riots took place.

However, the Chinese landlords in Central South Province did not riot because the enclosure movement did not affect them, and most of the landlords in Central South Province were Chinese landlords.

Most of the Chinese in the Indochina Peninsula were engaged in business activities and also accumulated land.

It was only some indigenous landlords who rioted, and the riots in Central South Province were quickly suppressed.The Kingdom of Vietnam and the Kingdom of Korea also launched enclosure movements.

However, this enclosure movement was initiated by the Kingdom of Korea and the Kingdom of Vietnam, and the "enclosure movement" was carried out in the form of an "agrarian revolution".

That is, North Korea and Vietnam announced the land revolution, confiscated the land of the landlords, and the land of the landlords was not allowed to exceed 100 mu. After the land was confiscated, it was sold to the Jiangyu consortium and those national capital businessmen.

And because this land confiscation policy was not directly implemented by the Chinese government, the land of those Chinese landlords was also confiscated.

Many Chinese landlords also protested, but many were arrested.

The method of suppression in Indochina is not massacres, but arrests.After being arrested, they were locked up for a period of time before being released.

The reasons for the agrarian revolution were also very high-sounding. The North Korean and Vietnamese governments directly carried out the agrarian revolution on the grounds that the land annexation was too serious.

However, after the land was confiscated, it was secretly sold at a low price to the consortium of warlords and oligarchs in Jiangyu and Chinese national capital merchants.

Although the public opinion media in China reported on this, they were all voices supporting the agrarian revolution in North Korea and Vietnam, and ignored the Chinese landlords who complained.

After the Agrarian Revolution, no newspapers were willing to report in-depth on the land treatment methods, and they soon faded out of the public's attention.

The issue of land disposal is only known to the Chinese in North Korea and Vietnam, but so what if it is known, and what if it is spread in China?

Especially in North Korea, there are no Chinese landlords at all.

After the land revolution, the consortium began to purchase agricultural land on a small scale, but did not make large-scale purchases, because it is not very cost-effective to purchase agricultural land now.

After the outbreak of World War I, agricultural returns were good, and land prices rose accordingly.

So it is not cost-effective to buy land now. When large-scale mechanical farming becomes popular in the future, food prices will naturally fall, and land prices will also fall by then.

However, the price of land for growing cash crops may not necessarily drop, so the land that the consortium is buying now is the kind of land that is suitable for growing cash crops. [

It is very difficult to carry out enclosure campaigns in China, and Jiang Yu is deeply aware of this.

In China, the land revolution cannot be carried out, and the land enclosure movement cannot directly enclose land, and can only achieve the purpose of enclosing land by means of purchasing.

Jiang Yu's domestic syndicate model also means that Jiang Yu has partially compromised with the domestic landlords, but the landlords who join the syndicate are controlled by Jiang Yu.

Because chemical fertilizers, seeds, and sales channels are all in Jiang Yu's hands.

This made the landlords in the syndicate model have to obediently follow Jiang Yu's plan, but after all, it was not as cool as directly enclosing the land.

It’s not enough to enclose land domestically, but you can always enclose land abroad!

Holding such an idea directly led to the outbreak of the enclosure movement in Southeast Asia.

Because in Nanyang, it is necessary to unite the Chinese to suppress the aborigines, the enclosure movement in the Indonesian archipelago and the Philippine archipelago did not affect the Chinese landlords.

Due to the violent and financial means adopted by the consortium, within a year, the consortium and national capital merchants seized most of the valuable land in Nanyang.

This gave the consortium control over cash crop land.

It is far from enough for the consortium to control the grain and resettle the land. Ordinary people don’t make money growing grain, so can’t I grow cash crops?

The purpose of the consortium controlling the land of cash crops is to let the common people grow the main cash crops without making much money, so that they can sell the land to the consortium to achieve the purpose of land merger.

After the land merger, everyone has no land, but everyone has a stable income from industrial production, so there is no so-called gap between the rich and the poor.

If the land merger is only half done, there will be a large number of groups who get rich with land, which will cause the actual gap between the rich and the poor to widen.

In Southeast Asia, this enclosure movement also led to rivers of blood in the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos.

A large number of rioting natives were massacred, and the rest were obedient natives.

"Indonesia and the Philippines have been occupied by us now, and the next target is Thailand. But what should we do with the remaining indigenous people?" Jiang Yu asked the senior officials of the National Defense Forces at the military meeting.

"Continue to kill one hundred." Zhou Zhengye started out with nationalism and uttered a bloody sentence.

"No, kill those natives, who will work for those plantations? Isn't it okay to immigrate people from the country to work in those plantations with low labor output value?" Jiang Fangzhen objected, "Many tropical crops require cheap labor to produce If those who are in charge of production are all killed, it is impossible to develop those tropical cash crops with the increasing labor costs of our domestic people. It is better to keep them and establish a complete colonial system.”

"What Baili said makes sense. It's true that we can't kill them all." Jiang Yu couldn't help but nodded. Those plantations still needed people to work.

"If this is the case, then we can distinguish the Chinese from the aborigines, and formulate laws to stipulate that the aborigines can only engage in some industries with low personal labor output value and cannot be thrown away, and at the same time cut their wages. In addition, these Nanyang monkeys eat less , They can’t starve to death.” Tang Hanmin said, “At the same time, we will set up enslavement schools and enslave these aborigines for generations.”

After deliberation, those Nanyang monkeys still survived, but their future can only be used as slaves. Although they are not slaves who imprison freedom, they are no different from slaves.

This can also be regarded as a kind of division of labor, allowing those Nanyang aborigines to engage in the production of tropical cash crops, while the profits are enjoyed by the Chinese.

Since winning the Philippines and making a fortune, the military's funds are very sufficient.

With sufficient funds, the war plan against Thailand has also entered the preparation stage. (To be continued.)
