According to the mineral deposit information held by the Executive Committee, Shandong has the highest gold reserves in the country, and most of these veins are concentrated in the Jiaodong Peninsula.Zhaoyuan, Yexian, Pingdu, Rushan, Mouping, Qixia and other places are distributed, among which the ore veins in Zhaoyuan and Pingdu are the most concentrated, and the burial is relatively shallow to facilitate open-pit mining.
According to historical records, as early as in the fourth year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, at the beginning of the eleventh century AD, Song Zhenzong sent his minister Pan Mei to the Zhaoyuan area to supervise the mining of the Linglong Mountain Gold Mine.At that time, the annual gold production in the two states of Denglei was nearly [-] taels, accounting for about [-]% of the national gold production.In the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court further intensified the mining of Jiaodong gold mines, and the output was more than double that of Huangyounian, the peak period of gold production in the Song Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the gold mines in this area were naturally inherited, and Ming Shenzong sent a large number of eunuchs to the local area to supervise the gold mining.It’s just that these supervisory measures did not play their due role. The output of gold mines in the Denglai area not only failed to increase, but fell to only about one-sixth of the highest output in the Yuan Dynasty.During the Tianqi period, Xizong also sent Wei Zhongxian to Dengzhou to supervise mining affairs, but it also failed to play a practical role.The Denglei Rebellion that occurred in 1631 destroyed almost all the mines in this area. Although the work has gradually resumed in recent years, the serious loss of relevant technical personnel during the war led to a decline in production efficiency. , Today's production capacity has fallen too much compared to before.
However, many miners who originally made a living by mining in this area have gone to Fushan County one after another in recent years, becoming miners working for Haihan.There is no other reason, but it is because Haihan gives better treatment, which can ensure the livelihood of the miners.
Through these job-hopping miners, Haihan gradually learned about the status of gold mining in the Zhaoyuan area.After hundreds of years of mining in the old veins, the mines have been gradually exhausted, and the gold production is gradually beyond the means, making it difficult to maintain the normal operation of the mine.However, the government was unable to find new mineral veins, so the gold mining industry in Zhaoyuan gradually declined.
However, such information is obviously inconsistent with the situation grasped by the Haihan senior management. The gold mines in the Zhaoyuan area are far from exhausted even after hundreds of years, except for Linglong Mountain, which was mined by the government in the past few centuries. In addition to gold mines, Fushan, Luoshan, Jinhuashan and other places in Zhaoyuan County are also scattered with thousands of gold mine veins, many of which have large reserves, high grade, shallow burial, and high-quality veins that are easy to mine.It's just that the government's prospecting capabilities at this stage are almost non-existent, so the scale of mining is shrinking year by year, which undoubtedly provides a stage for Haihan to display his means.
Of course, considering that the geographical location of Zhaoyuan County is far from Fushan County controlled by Haihan, and the large number of people involved in mining, it is difficult to keep secrets. Once Haihan mines a new gold mine in this area, it will soon be If it aroused the attention of Ming Dynasty, then there would be a struggle for the ownership of the mine, or even an armed conflict, which would be a troublesome matter for Haihan.
Therefore, although this matter has been put on the agenda, Haihan's senior management did not make a hasty decision. It is still necessary to make complete preparations before considering action.
From the perspective of the geographical environment, it is difficult for Haihan to completely copy the previous operation method in Fushan County to occupy Zhaoyuan County, which is located in the inland mountainous area.Moreover, the distance between the two places is more than a hundred miles, and there are almost mountains and hills in the middle. Land transportation is not convenient. Whether it is transporting materials or dispatching troops, it is a hassle.
If you want to achieve your goal through military occupation, then Haihan needs to invest too much resources in this area, and it is unlikely that Ming will sit back and watch Haihan make such a big disturbance in Shandong. Once a large-scale armed Conflicts will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, which is not what Haihan wants to see.
Compared with the huge benefits that the trade between the two countries has brought to Haihan in various fields, the value that can be created by mining gold mines in Zhaoyuan is only limited to the economic aspect. The senior management of Haihan naturally sees clearly which is more important.Even if the Zhaoyuan gold mine is to be exploited, it must be implemented under the premise of maintaining the existing diplomatic relations.
It is not technically difficult for Haihan to find unexploited ore veins in the local area. The database has various gold mining sites in this area in later generations. Finding the right destination is nothing more than a matter of time.
The real problem is how to maintain a good relationship with the local government while mining the veins, so as not to lose face because of the ownership of the mines.To create such a situation, the only way is to buy off the local government in advance and reach an alliance of interests.
Of course, this kind of thing that involves a lot can't be handed over to ordinary people, so the Ministry of Security took over the task.Before that, Hao Wanqing visited Zhaoyuan County many times as a wealthy businessman. He got in touch with the local Guzhi County, confirmed that this person could be bought with money, and then slowly figured out an operation plan together.
Haihan first finds a suitable mine, and then the magistrate of Gu County will come forward in the name of the government to include this mine in the list of "official mines", but the specific mining affairs are all handled by Haihan.Every year, a certain amount of gold will be handed over to Daming through formal channels to ensure the legality of related mining activities.
Of course, Guzhi County will also receive a considerable amount of dividends from the annual gold output in a certain proportion. He will be responsible for handling various supervision measures formulated by the imperial court to ensure that Haihan can work in Zhaoyuan County quietly. Mining activities.
Of course, even with the cover of the local government, the scale of Haihan's mining here cannot be as public as that of the Fushan Copper Mine, otherwise it will be impossible to hide it from those who are interested, and there will inevitably be conflicts with Daming at that time.Moreover, the extent of the cover provided by the Zhaoyuan County Government is still completely unknown at present. Many unpredictable problems will inevitably arise in this operation, and the risk is actually not small.
But just as Haihan was gradually advancing the matter, the Qing army entered Shandong.The entire territory of Shandong fell into chaos in a very short period of time, and the prefectures and counties were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one would care about Haihan's small actions at this time.
Hao Wanqing hoped to seize this time window and eliminate all the unstable factors in Zhaoyuan as much as possible. For example, if the engineers and technicians and supervisors sent by the imperial court discovered the secret of the new mine, they would report it to Daming For the Ministry of Industry, all previous efforts will be for naught.The current chaos in Shandong can provide the best cover for Hai Han's secret operations.
However, the impact of the war in Shandong was so great that Hao Wanqing had to suspend the task at hand first, and sent Gong Shiqi and others to Jinan Prefecture to collect information on the battle situation.It wasn't until Gong Shiqi returned to Zhaoyuan County that he took the time to go to the predetermined location to retrieve the ore samples that were mined. It happened to be able to send these samples back to Zhifu Island within the time limit of the mission, and the professionals would complete the next inspection work.
Of course, it is difficult to take care of such a big matter with only a small amount of manpower from the Ministry of Security. It is only a matter of time before the military intervenes. Gong Shiqi mistakenly thought that the other party already knew about these arrangements when talking with Sun Zhen. Guided the refugees to go outside of Fukuyama County, and also followed up the gold mine-related affairs incidentally, that's why they let it out.
Later, although Gong Shiqi found out that this was a misunderstanding, he also knew that it was meaningless to continue to hide this matter from Sun Zhen, and it would make the other party misunderstand, so he decisively explained the whole story to Sun Zhen.He believed that Sun Zhen, as the battalion commander of the Special Forces, would understand the importance of this matter after listening to it, and he would consciously keep this secret without emphasizing it.
When Sun Zhen heard Gong Shiqi explain the reason briefly, the shock he received was not small. He didn't expect that when the world was in chaos, the Ministry of Security was secretly operating such a big plan.
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. The current situation in Shandong had proved that even though Daming possessed the world's wealth, he was still unable to resist foreign enemies and save the common people.Even if the gold buried in the ground is mined and collected into the Ming treasury, it will probably only benefit the Manchus in the end. If Haihan obtains the gold, at least part of it can be used to attack the Manchus and save those in need. It is obviously more practical to help the common people of Ming Dynasty.
Sun Zhen asked: "Since the matter in Zhaoyuan County has not been dealt with yet, Brother Gong will have to come back soon after returning to Fushan County?"
Gong Shiqi said: "It's enough for my subordinates to send these ore samples back to Fushan County. I will stay here to cooperate with Brother Sun's actions. This will also facilitate the coordination of refugee affairs with the county government."
Compared with Sun Zhen, who just arrived, Gong Shiqi was obviously more familiar with the situation in Zhaoyuan County. With him staying here to help, Sun Zhen could save a lot of trouble.
Early the next morning, Gong Shiqi's men packed their bags and prepared to leave.But Sun Zhen ordered a carriage to come out and hand it over to them to carry the ore samples. This would effectively reduce the load on their mounts, and the journey back to Fushan County would be faster.
Gong Shiqi reciprocated, asking his subordinates to bring only enough food and grass to return to Fushan County, and leave all the excess rations to Sun Zhen's troops.Although the quantity is not large, in the current environment where supplies are inconvenient, even a few dozen catties of food are very important resources.
After the troops from the Ministry of Security set off, Gong Shiqi said to Sun Zhen, "I'll go to the county seat later to urge them to get food. I guess there should be at least five or six thousand catties of grain in the official warehouses in the city. Let's see if it works." You can’t let Guzhi County be handed over to us.”
Sun Zhendao: "Then we have to leave some rations for the people in the city, right?"
Gong Shiqi smiled and said: "At this time, those who can take refuge in the county will not be too bad. They must have much more food than the official warehouse. It is estimated that there will be no problem supporting them for two or three months. Since Guzhi County He promised to provide us with food, and he must have already calculated it, so there is no need to worry."
Sun Zhen didn't say any more after hearing the words.Gong Shiqi took his horse and refused to let Sun Zhen send anyone to follow him, so he headed towards the county town with one horse.Although the county seat currently does not allow idlers to enter and exit, since Gong Shiqi has friendship with the magistrate of Nagu County, he must be able to enter the city after reporting his identity.
In fact, not all the gentry and landlords took refuge in the county at this time, and there were also many ordinary people.But Gong Shiqi saw that the gate of the county was closed and the government did not organize to go out to raise food, so he thought that the food reserves in Dingcheng should be sufficient, so he took the initiative to go to the county to ask for food.
Whether it is the task of guiding refugees or the gold mine task that the Ministry of Security is in charge of, it will obviously be more conducive to the execution of these tasks if Sun Zhen's troops stay in Zhaoyuan County for a longer period of time.To do this, it is only necessary to get enough food and grass.
From the standpoint of the local government, although the appearance of the Haihan army here is like an invasion, if the local refugee crisis can be resolved, the government will naturally be happy to turn a blind eye to its existence, even in places like Guzhi County. It is no surprise that stakeholders have offered to provide food.
Naturally, Sun Zhen was not idle. While sending rangers to the relatively flat southern part of Zhaoyuan County to check the situation of the influx of refugees, he stepped up to make street signs and prepared to deploy them on the main roads in the county. Having a literate person will also make it easier to guide them to the correct escape route.
Gong Shiqi returned safely to the Haihan army station in the afternoon that day, and the news he brought back also boosted the morale of Sun Zhen's army.The county government is willing to provide them with a total of [-] catties of food in batches, and in order to cooperate with Haihan's refugee guidance plan, the amount of porridge given to refugees outside the city will gradually be reduced from tomorrow.Only in this way can the refugees who hoped to survive in Zhaoyuan be forced to leave voluntarily and go to Fushan County to find life.
Of course, doing so will inevitably cause some refugees to die of hunger, but if the increasing number of refugees are not evacuated, Zhaoyuan County lacks the means to resettle refugees, and may fall into civil strife within a few days.
In fact, such chaos has already begun to show signs, and there have been some incidents of looting property and food in refugee areas.Fortunately, there are still sporadic incidents at present. Once some people start forming gangs and controlling other refugees in a gang way, large-scale riots will not be far away.
For security reasons, Sun Zhen did not send anyone into the refugee-inhabited area for uninterrupted surveillance, but he has been paying attention to their movements.If he finds some bad omens, he must send troops to extinguish the hidden dangers as soon as possible.
That night, according to the situation of returning from various places, Sun Zhen estimated the number of refugees who had newly entered Zhaoyuan County. At the end of the day, at least four figures of refugees had poured into Zhaoyuan County.According to some refugees, the number of refugees gathered near Laizhou Fucheng, a hundred miles to the southwest, is at least ten times that of Zhaoyuan County, and the local area has no way to resettle so many refugees, so there are a large number of refugees On the way east to Dengzhou.
