Chapter 1477 Reassurance
The population problem has always been one of the important factors that troubled Haihan to develop overseas colonies, especially in Northeast Asia, which is thousands of miles away from Hainan Island. population source.Introducing immigrants from Shandong is naturally a good choice, but as the situation in Shandong has gradually stabilized in the past two years, the number of refugees recruited by Haihan has become increasingly rare. If you want to repeat the previous two years, as long as there is food, refugees will flock to It's not easy to find a way out.Moreover, the Shandong government has been very wary of the immigration methods that Haihan usually uses. Even if ordinary people flee, it is almost impossible to cross the state and go to the Haihan-controlled area. Only the businessmen of Lushu can enter and exit Fushan County smoothly.As a result, the number of immigrants Haihanneng can obtain from Shandong will naturally be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to meet the needs of Liaodong.
In addition to Shandong, then there are probably only a large number of Han people with ambiguous identities in the area behind the enemy in Liaodong.The reason why these people's identities are vague is that Liaodong is already a occupied area. Most of these Han people are currently slaves under the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Daming has no ability to rescue them.If Haihan can use force to open a breakthrough in the post-Jin ruled area and rescue the Han people in the occupied area, then these people probably won't mind changing their identity and allegiance to the Han regime from the south in the future, and it is not easy for Daming to use this as an excuse Attack Haihan.
Of course, the realization of this plan is not something that can be done with words. It must be implemented with the cooperation of the military. The Houjin Army will not watch Haihan do whatever he wants and plunder the population in his own occupied area.Even if He Li and others did not understand the military, they knew that this matter might be accompanied by a series of small-scale wars in the future, and they would plunder the population by means of wars.
Houjin was already short of population, so every year in the southern invasion of Caogu, many people were taken from Daming and brought back to Liaodong to be used as slave labor.And Haihan is obviously also planning to follow the gourd and draw a scoop. How do you get people in, I will get them away.In terms of fighting, Haihan is not afraid of his opponents, and it just so happens that the military also hopes to have a reasonable excuse to keep Liaodong in a state of war to a certain extent, so that it can get a long-term practical combat training in Northeast Asia. field.
Of course, there will also be a lot of political games within Haihan. After all, for Haihan's existing strategy of Liaodong, it is not necessary to continue to fight against the Houjin, even if the purpose is to gain population, the Haihan Executive Committee will also It may not be possible to agree that the military will continue to maintain a high-pressure posture against Houjin in the Liaodong area.Because such an approach will inevitably require Haihan to maintain a large-scale garrison in Liaodong for a long time, and the military expenditure and material consumption of the war caused by this plan are even more difficult to predict. some game.
But let alone Liu Shang, even his boss Yu Xiaobao, and even Sha Xi, who he is currently playing for, can't intervene in the game at this level, and with the level of intelligence Liu Shang can access, it is hard to imagine that the high-level Haihan will meet. How much disagreement arises on this issue.The information Liu Shang got came from a preliminary plan that Sha Xi negotiated with the military generals. Even if it were to be implemented, it would at least be a matter of time.But now Shaxi hopes to make these southern businessmen feel at ease investing in Liaodong, so he instructs Liu Shang to reveal to them this plan, which has not been finalized, so that they can relax about the manpower issue.
It must be said that Shaxi's work experience in the past few years has made him very experienced in dealing with such issues. He anticipated some issues that southern businessmen might worry about or questioned in advance, and then made targeted preparations.Sure enough, after Liu Shang said this, He Li and others also felt that this matter seemed to be quite feasible. After all, Haihan had already recaptured most of the Golden State from Houjin. Well, getting some of the Han Chinese who fled the post-Jin rule to defect to the south should not be more difficult than laying down the existing place.
The existence of the Dongjiang immigrant area made the southern businessmen realize that the nature of Dongjiang Town may no longer be an official Ming Dynasty armed force hanging overseas. He started to act according to Haihan's arrangement, and now he is extremely dependent on the supplies supplied by Haihan to survive.
He Li and others are smart people, and they naturally understand what this situation means. The existence of Dongjiang Town allows Daming to recover this area in name, but in the future, he can only hold his nose and admit Haihan's actual control over the place. .It would take a few more years for Haihan to turn this place into an iron barrel formation, and then Daming would not be able to get the land back.
And the control of this place has always been in the hands of Haihan. For those businessmen who wish to invest in Liaodong, it is actually good news. It's guaranteed, at least it's much better than many places in Ming Dynasty that changed from day to night.Many of the Ming merchants who ran plantations in Haihan State had signed contracts for more than ten years, and there were many who signed contracts for two to 30 years or even longer. I think the situation in Liaodong should be similar in the future.
The team led by Liu Shang spent half a day visiting the Dongjiang Immigration Area, during which Jin Ping mainly explained the local construction status.Occasionally, some sensitive topics appeared in the questions of the businessmen, and Liu Shang would take the initiative to answer the questions.He kept all Shaxi's advice to him before this in his heart. If this visit can get these southern merchants down, then another credit will be added to his personal resume. His future career advancement will definitely play a positive role in promoting.
After completing the inspection and visit here, the team continued to drive to the northeast.Because all the team used horse-drawn carriages as means of transportation, the route arrangement specially bypassed the mountainous area in the northeast of Lushun and traveled directly along the coastline of the Bohai Sea on the Liaodong Peninsula.
"It's about seventy or eighty miles from here to the front line. Tonight we will stop at the station to rest. If you have any questions, you can ask them." Liu Shang introduced the current position to everyone on the carriage, and at the same time Be prepared to continue answering questions for these investors.
"Master Liu, I would like to ask, this Port of Port Arthur is so far away from the front line, is this route used to transport supplies to the front line on weekdays?" Someone immediately asked a question of their own interest.
Liu Shangying said: "Most of the military supplies are directly transported from the sea to the front line for unloading. The ships you see moored at Port Lushun are basically transporting civilian supplies. As for why we go by land rather than sea, of course we have to take care of you. This will allow you to see with your own eyes the original appearance of the Liaodong mainland, and make an accurate judgment on whether it is worth investing here.”
Liu Shang's tone was very serious, and at first glance it seemed that this was indeed the case.But if you think about it carefully, this tour itinerary is completely arranged by Haihan. Wherever you take the southern merchants to see, they have already set the itinerary. In other words, what southern merchants can see here is actually Haihan. It's just a scene to arrange for them to see.
Someone else asked: "If the golden thief bypassed your army's defense line from the sea and directly invaded the rear, wouldn't it be easy to succeed?"
Liu Shang smiled and shook his head: "Dude, take it for granted! The enemy currently does not have the ability to send troops on a large scale by sea, and they can't even find a few ships that can carry a hundred people, so how can they invade the rear? Besides, if the Haihan Navy discovers its fleet, it will all be sunk within two days. Now the few remaining ships of the Jinren are shrunk in the inland river and dare not go out to sea, so don't worry that they will still be able to play. What kind of tricks to come."
He Li was just laughing secretly when he heard it. He would definitely not ask such a childish question. If the Haihan people did not take measures to deal with such superficial military issues, how could it be possible to fight from the South China Sea all the way north to Liaodong? Can maintain an undefeated record.If he can bypass the defense line and attack the rear, I am afraid that Jinren has already tried it, and he will have the patience to leave Haihan time for development.
Although He Li had never been to Liaodong, he had already seen the map of Liaodong at Lushun Fort, which clearly marked the current occupation area and the position of the line of defense in the north.In his opinion, Houjin is good at fighting with cavalry after all, and the chance for a comeback should still be on land, and whether the Haihan Army can hold the northern line of defense is probably the most important basis for businessmen to judge whether the local area is worth investing in.
That night, the convoy camped at a post station near the coast. This place used to be a post station under the jurisdiction of the Jinzhou Guard. After the Jin Dynasty occupied it, it was in a state of desertion. However, after Haihan took over the area, he cleaned up the post station. Came out and put it back into use.Although Haihan has an instant information transmission tool such as the telegraph, there are still a lot of documents and files that need to be transmitted manually.The distance between Lushun Fort and the Jinzhou Isthmus is more than 100 miles. It is indeed necessary to set up such a post station that provides board and lodging to replace horses on the way.
After many battles with Houjin, the number of horses in the Liaodong area of Haihan, especially the number of war horses, has even exceeded the total number of war horses in the entire Haihan before.And even this small post house actually raises seven or eight horses, which shows that the local horse resources are indeed quite sufficient.
The inn is still managed by the military, so the people in charge of reception here are also personnel from the logistics department of the army. Liu Shang did not dare to use his identity to put on airs, and specially asked the accompanying officers to come forward to check in.
The lodging conditions of this inn in the wilderness are actually incomparable to Lvshun Fort, but there is no other choice within a few miles, so I can only stay here for one night.As for the food, it's even simpler, rice porridge, pickles, or noodles. Those who are willing to pay extra can also buy a salted egg.
For the businessmen who have eaten all kinds of banquets in the past few days, this kind of content is really not attractive. After eating a little, they went back to their rooms to rest.We set off from Lushun Fort early this morning. Although we were riding in a horse-drawn carriage, I was really tired after being on the road for a long time. The lack of people and horses can accurately describe the current state of the team.Maybe when they leave tomorrow, the packhorse that pulls the cart will have to use the horse from the post station to replace it for a few days.
After nightfall, the sounds of various birds and beasts could be heard faintly in the wilderness outside the inn. This primitive flavor was accustomed to the feeling that the pampered businessmen had not experienced for a long time.Occasionally, there were a few wolf howls in the middle, which made the foreigners lying on the bed quite frightened.However, Liu Shang had already assured them that no beasts would attack this inn, and they could only reluctantly believe it.
The outskirts of the post station are surrounded by two-meter-high barbed wire, and there is a moat outside. Coupled with the monitoring and attack of the post station sentry, it is generally difficult for wild animals to approach the post station, let alone break through the iron net defense here.When the fortifications were first built, there were wolves who did not know how to live or die once launched an attack, but in the end they just left more than 20 corpses and retreated angrily, which fully demonstrated the terrible combat effectiveness of Haihan's logistics force.
Although the beast was terrifying, everyone was exhausted after all, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Until I woke up the next morning, no beast had broken through the outer barrier of the inn.
While everyone was having breakfast, the convoy really replaced several pack horses whose physical strength was severely weakened. They were first fostered in the post station, and then continued to move towards the Jinzhou Isthmus.After entering the plain area where Haihan and Houjin fought, there was a barren scene within a radius of several miles. There were neither people nor houses. It seemed that at least ten thousand mu of fertile land could be reclaimed in this place. It is their investors who joined in.
At the location of the Chinese army camp, which is about five miles away from the defense line, Qian Tiandun, the local top commander, took time out to meet these businessmen.And the reason why he came forward in person was naturally to attract investment and endorse it to gain more trust from southern businessmen.
These southern businessmen have heard of Qian Tiandun's reputation as Commander Qian. After all, when Haihan fought on Zhoushan Island, it is said that Commander Qian's troops executed it.And this person will appear in the territory of Liaodong, and it is conceivable that he commanded the campaign of the Haihan Army to attack Liao.
"...Everyone is a guest from afar. It is reasonable to say that I should accompany me on the next itinerary, but because of work reasons, I can only ask my deputy, the commander of Takahashi South of the special operations battalion to do it for me!" Qian Tian Dun said a few words indifferently, then said goodbye and left.
