In the industrial development map designed by Chen Yixin, coal as an energy source is an essential part.The areas around Shenyang are rich in coal resources, especially in Fushun.
During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army built a city at the southern foot of Gaoer Mountain, [-] miles east of Shenyang, as the garrison base of the Thousand Households.The city was named Fushun, and it belonged to Shenyang Wei, the capital of Liaodong.
During the Wanli period, Nurhachi proclaimed Khan in Liaodong, and Fushun City was quickly captured by the Houjin Army and became the territory of Zhenghuang Banner.Not long after this, the Great Ming and the Later Jin fought at Saerhu on the south bank of the Hun River on the east side of Fushun.In the end, the Hou Jin army won more with less, and the Ming army lost nearly 5 horses. As a result, the initiative in the Liaodong battlefield was taken away by the Hou Jin army, and Ming lost most of the Liaodong territory in the next ten years.
An important reason why Haihan launched the Northern Expedition in the Liaodong area was to focus on the coal and iron deposits here. Therefore, after occupying Shenyang, Chen Yixin sent his division east to attack Fushun without hesitation.Later, when demarcating the boundary with the Manchu Qing, although the Manchu Qing hoped to use the [-] miles around Shenyang City as the boundary between the two countries, Haihan insisted on demarcating the boundary with the territory of the former Liaodong Capital of the Ming Dynasty, so Fushun was officially incorporated into Haihan Under Han rule.
There was only one reason why Haihan took Fushun by force, and that was because of the coal buried here.Chen Yixin said that the coal here is enough to be mined for hundreds of years. This statement is not an exaggeration at all. In the time and space when he was born and raised, Fushun was still the location of the largest open-pit coal mine in China.With the current mining capacity, the coal here is enough to last hundreds of years.
However, after everyone came to Fushun, what they saw was not a scene of production in full swing. On the contrary, there were only some farmlands on both sides of the Hun River outside Fushun City, but there were no mines as everyone thought.
It wasn't until Chen Yixin took them to a certain place in the suburbs and saw the remaining small mine pits and various lifting gears that everyone realized that they were relics left by mining coal mines.Long before Haihan occupied this place, some people had already tried to exploit the local coal resources.
"As you can see, as long as you dig out the floating soil on the surface here, there is a coal seam below! Dig down from this place to a depth of one hundred feet, and there is still a coal seam! Dig five miles east and five miles west from this place. There are also all coal seams! What we have to do is to build coal mines here, and then there will be a steady stream of coal output in the next 100 or 200 years!"
Chen Yixin did not hide his excitement, and loudly introduced the situation here to everyone: "According to the appraisal results of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry, the coal here is low in ash, low in sulfur, and high in calorific value. It is suitable for burning coke and as thermal coal. Use, this is exactly the resource we need to build a coal-iron composite industry in Liaodong!"
"I don't know one thing... The mining relics here must have been left by the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, so why were they abandoned later?" Bai Letong asked puzzled.
Of course, the past rulers have discovered the coal resources here long ago. Even if they did not use it for industrial development, it is quite normal to mine coal for production and life in this era, and it will not make this place completely deserted.It’s just that the remains of the mines left here show that this place has been deserted for at least ten years. At that time, the Haihan Army had not yet launched the Northern Expedition, so it is reasonable to say that production would not be suspended due to the impact of the war.
Chen Yixin explained: "After Huang Taiji came to the throne, he believed that the Sarhu area was the dragon vein that was related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty, so he banned all mining activities in this area, including the coal mines in Fushun. Since then, this place has It has been deserted for more than ten years, and the Manchus are keeping the cornucopia empty without knowing it!"
Bai Letong snorted, he really didn't expect that the reason why the mine was abandoned was so ridiculous.The education he has received since he was a child is all about man's determination to conquer nature, industry supremacy, and the wise decisions of the executive committee are the foundation of a country's prosperity. He has no sense of Feng Shui metaphysics and the like, and he can't understand that Man Qing gave up because of this. Opportunity to strengthen the country.
However, Beks thought of more questions from this: "Since the Manchu Qing regard this place as the dragon vein of the country, they probably won't just sit back and watch our country exploit mines here. When the construction starts, maybe they will find ways to make trouble for us! "
Chen Yixin said: "That's true, so I haven't been in a hurry to mine the coal mines here in the past few years. I have to wait until all the conditions are in place before starting this project. Even if the Qing Dynasty opposes it, or even resorts to military measures to stop the mining, We also have the ability to secure production activities here."
After Chen Yixin finished speaking, he raised his finger to the east: "To the east, there are all mountainous areas. About 150 miles away from here is Hetuala, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the late Jin Dynasty, also known as Xingjing. After the Manchu Qing lost Shenyang, it was The capital was moved back to Hetuala. If we break out of war with the Manchu Qing again, then this place will most likely become the front line of confrontation between the two armies.”
Bai Kesi said: "So the most dangerous place on the Liaodong border is actually not in the direction of Qingyang Fort, but here."
Chen Yixin shook his head slightly and said: "This should be the other party's idea, I don't think so. Before the official mining, I will notify the Qing court through official channels, showing that we will not hesitate to fight for this."
Bai Kesi immediately understood what he meant. If the two countries went to war again, the battle line would be only a hundred miles away from the capital of the Qing Dynasty.At that time, the Manchu Qing will probably no longer have the good luck of defeating the Ming army, but will have to face the risk of losing the capital again.
Haihan's mining business in Fushun is small, just to see if Shunzhi believes in the so-called dragon vein theory.With the current national strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it should be difficult to use dragon veins as a reason to launch a war.If Haihan started stationing troops in Fushun, it would probably be a major event that would really make the Qing court in Hetuala restless.
Ning Zijing asked: "Since the capital of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is in this direction, it may take a long time for the Qing court to respond to the robbery in Qingyang Fort."
Chen Yixin responded: "Preliminary first, then soldiers, we must give them a chance to respond."
If you look at it from the map, Shenyang City, Qingyang Fort, and Hetuala, these three places are almost in the shape of an equilateral triangle, and any two points are separated by two to three hundred miles.The robbery happened in Qingyang Fort. After the news was sent back to Shenyang, the Haihan officials ordered the Qing embassy to transmit their request to the Qing court in Hetuala, and then the Qing court sent people to investigate the robbery in the vicinity of Qingyang Fort. It will indeed be a rather time-consuming process.
