Daming Yuanfu

The Jiangnan Chaebol and Shen Guangyuan didn't know that Gao Yuanfu still didn't come out to take matters into his own hands. The root cause was not that he refused to be more generous, but that he didn't know if he didn't check. When he checked, he was shocked. What was going on inside Jinghua? Too many hidden dangers were exposed in just six months, and he had to take advantage of this "free time" to solve them quickly.

Of course, by the way, the court can also know that without him, Gao Yuanfu, many things would be really difficult to handle.

Let’s talk about the inside of Jinghua first. The industrial situation has been mentioned before, but there is no need to repeat it. What is now facing Gao Pragmatism is another part. To some extent, these are some hidden dangers caused by over-expansion.

Due to Gao's pragmatic and always hands-off boss style, Jinghua actually suppressed many things during the expansion process and did not report them clearly to him - from the Secretariat to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone seemed to think that these things were insignificant, and it did not matter whether they were reported or not.

What's going on? Too much killing.

Military expansion is inherently killing, but in the past Gao Pragmatic agreed that because he had promulgated many easing policies, whether it was the advanced tax system in southern Xinjiang or the naturalized household registration system that served Sinicization, this was the case. On the one hand, these systems reduce the burden on local people, and on the other hand, they give local talents room and channels for advancement. In his opinion, this was enough to stabilize the situation in the newly expanded areas. As long as time passed and the rule formed inertia, everything would go as it should.

However, after Gao Pragmatic carefully read some past reports these days, he discovered that things are not that simple! Although the overall situation in southern Xinjiang has been relatively stable in recent years, in fact various riots and uprisings still continue. Even if the scale is small, hundreds or even thousands of people often dare to jump out and raise flags to rebel. However, the resistance is frequent and widely distributed. Several major security forces and chieftain armies in certain areas have hardly stopped, and have been fighting for many years. beat.

Things are okay so far. Gao Pragmatic still knows that there will be civil unrest in southern Xinjiang from time to time. What he didn't know in the past was the final outcome of these popular uprisings - the information he received was often briefings, and the statements in the briefings were very "traditional", that is, the words were too refined.

For example, in a village in Jingang, Annan, due to the continuous development and concentration of local enterprises of Jinghua, it was necessary to expand the scope of the urban area (including industrial zones). Neighboring villagers were dissatisfied with Jinghua's land purchase price and rioted.

Originally, only villagers from three villages joined forces to cause trouble, but several companies involved in the incident in Jinghua collectively believed that the price offered was in line with the master's requirement that such acquisitions "should not be lower than the local market price", so they took coercive measures against the local villagers. , just collect the land, throw away the money and tell them to get out.

At this time, not only the local villagers were furious, but also the surrounding neighbors started making noises, which eventually led to a large-scale riot. The number of people participating in the riot reached 70,000 to 80,000. They even rushed into the periphery of the industrial zone and destroyed some parts of the industrial zone. facility.

The Jingang garrison was unequivocal and immediately dispatched two infantrymen to defeat the main force of the riot. Then they contacted Chieftain Huang, and both sides attacked separately to wipe out the riot.

The above situations may not seem to be a problem at first glance, but in fact they are very problematic. First of all, Gao Pragmatic did explicitly require all companies in Beijing to "not be lower than the local market price" when acquiring assets such as factories and mines, but there are loopholes in this order.

The master has an order that it must not be lower than the local market price? No problem, the master’s words are more effective than the imperial edict. How dare you young people disobey them? But, this “local market price” can be controlled!

We, Jinghua, don’t have to be strong. We can completely reduce a piece of land worth 10,000 taels to only 3,000 taels by relying on economic means alone. Do you accept it? Not to mention there are also outside tricks - for example, I asked someone to spread rumors that this place has bad feng shui, and anyone who lives here will disturb the master (the head of the family), the family will be uneasy, and the ancestors will not be allowed to live in peace... etc. wait wait wait.

Once this operation is completed, the "money scene" of this land will be ruined. But some people believe this and some don't. The first thing the locals felt was that they had suffered huge losses, so they naturally had conflicts with Jinghua. However, Jinghua's approach did not violate Gao's pragmatic orders. The guards and chieftains below were naturally on the side of Jinghua Enterprises and would force the transaction to be executed, so the conflict intensified.

Secondly, the Jinggang Garrison is quite large, but why are there only two infantry corps dispatched? Because of the high pragmatic regulations, there are two types of military operations to dispatch more than one town. One is planned dispatch, which requires advance application and approval; the other is emergency dispatch, which means that the war is started by other parties. Jinghua To respond passively, you can send troops first, but you must report in detail. A town is equivalent to a division as understood by later generations. Gao Pragmatic can only control this level. It is impossible to micro-manage the machine gun to move five centimeters to the left like Kaishen Gong. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble in actual operations, the garrison will deliberately limit the size of its troops to one town. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will never exceed even one person.

There are other benefits to doing this. For example, the local advisory committee (the "National Policy Advisory Committee" sent by Jinghua to each kingdom) will also acquiesce in this approach. The reason is very simple. If the master thinks, "Why do things always happen in your place?" Doesn't it mean that we have done a bad job?

Everyone, the master is furious, our exams this year are suspended!

So you see, the Advisory Committee has every motive to cooperate with the garrison. Hey, the deployment of troops in a town must be reported in detail, but I only sent out two infantry corps, so I only need to give a briefing.

So all Gao pragmatic received was a briefing letter, writing: "On a certain day of a certain year, three villages in Jingang rioted, causing turmoil in the surrounding areas. Tens of thousands of bandits were involved, and the situation was endangered. Our security forces were not in danger and established the first town. The Second Infantry Association and the Second Town Infantry Association destroyed them. Chieftain Huang also sent troops to assist in this battle."

This is the battle report - it does not state clearly how many "troops" the riot participants actually had, but only generally stated "tens of thousands". It also did not explain how many were killed, how many were seriously injured, how many were captured by the garrison, and there was no need to even report in detail their own casualties.

Why is this possible? Because based on previous experience, the garrison's attack on civilian uprisings is just like playing for fun, often defeating the main force of 50,000 mutinies head-on, and its own losses are only double digits. So later on, I don't know when, I simply stopped reporting my casualties - anyway, with the naturalization household registration system as a guarantee, and soldiers being replenished at any time, there was no need to mention this loss at all.

As for how to deal with "bandits"? Since Gao Pragmatic had a desire to establish authority in his early years, but he was also shameless, he never interfered much. Under this kind of ostrich policy, the people below will naturally know the elegant meaning of the string song. They will not embarrass the master with this kind of thing, and they will take the initiative to deal with it...

How was it handled, you ask? Well, I have said many times before that the person in charge of suppressing bandits was Cen Ling, and his nickname from Annan was "Cen Yan Wang". You can take a look at it.

However, if this is the case, it is still within control. After all, apart from other things, from a result-oriented perspective, Annan has fewer and fewer riots, which is also a fact. If Gao Wuzhen now goes back to find trouble with the local advisory committee and the garrison, it would be a bit like getting an advantage and being obedient.

The reason Gao pragmatic was a little angry this time was because of his younger brother, and he even found out that Liu Xin had chosen to acquiesce in this matter.

Bo Ni, also known as Kalimantan, was divided into two military and political blocks after the Battle of the Nanyang Islands, namely "North Bo Ni" and "South Bo Ni". Gao Jingshi's younger brother, who was known for his strength in Taiwan, was transferred to Boni. At first, he was only in charge of northern Boni. Later, Gao Jingshi realized that separate management of northern and southern Boni was not in line with the current situation, so he had to manage them together first and wait for the situation. After they were completely stabilized, they were managed separately, so my younger brother was given direct control over the entire Bo Ni.

This turned out to be a good thing. The total population of Boniluo in the north and south was only 600,000 or 700,000 (referring to the registered population, not counting those in the mountains and valleys), and this guy killed 140,000 in less than a year. The heads are rolling and the blood is flowing!

This kid did submit a report to the Secretariat, but for some reason, Liu Xin, who has always been more humanitarian, actually acquiesced to this kid's handling method. At that time, he only mentioned one sentence casually when reporting to Gao Pragmatic: "The Boni Aboriginal people I can’t bear to teach you, your brother has killed a lot of people this year.”

Because her tone was too relaxed at the time, Gao Pragmatic didn't take it seriously at all. Now when I looked back at the report, I realized that 20% of the population had been wiped out in less than a year!

Let you use both appeasement and suppression, with appeasement as the main task and suppression as the supplement. You guys are fine, are you going to clear out this big island of 74 square kilometers? ——

happy New Year!
