Chapter 240 Northern Federal Autonomous Region

历史的脚步行进到1918年3月底,中**队于1918年2月28ri发起的“捍卫18收复国土”军事行动第一阶段顺利结束,通过外蒙和黑龙江两个方向3路大军的出击。

By the end of March, the Chinese government had successfully recovered the territory it had occupied since the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk". Among them, the Primorsky Krai has a land area of ​​3 square kilometers, a total population of 17, and the Khabarovsk Krai has an area of ​​50 50 square kilometers, with a total population of 40.

Amur Region has an area of ​​36 square kilometers and a total population of 20, Chita Region has an area of ​​48 square kilometers and a total population of 30, and Irkutsk Region has an area of ​​60 square kilometers and a population of 40.

A total of 211 million square kilometers of land has been recovered, with a local population of nearly 150 million. In Wang Geng's previous life, until the 21st century, the population on this land only multiplied to more than 700 million.

With the arrival of the end of March, the great success of the Chinese army in Siberia and the Far East has rapidly increased China's international prestige. The focus of attention from top to bottom, and this wave of huge enthusiasm for joining the army and serving the country in March caused as many as six supplementary brigades of recruits to be recruited throughout March.

China's model army for participating in the war has quietly become synonymous with the Chinese Army. This new type of army that emphasizes firepower and mobility takes iron discipline such as "Three Great Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention" as its soul, and is relentless in facing enemies and saboteurs. The merciless iron-blooded means as weapons expanded China's territory by one-fifth in just one month, and better stabilized and appeased the emotions of local residents.

The Soviet Russian guerrillas had almost no room to move east of Lake Baikal. Except for going to remote settlements in the middle of the night to grab food, these guerrillas could not find any source of food. According to the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk", until March 1689, 1918, all Siberia and Far East territories controlled by the Chinese participating troops were Chinese territories.

The safety of life and property of all local residents is protected. Before this year's summer grain harvest, people who have registered with the local village office, town office, and city government and received rations can freely choose whether to become Chinese nationals or move out. Go back to Russia in the west.

If the owner of the local private land wants to keep his own land, he must choose to join the Chinese nationality and be a Chinese, otherwise, the land will be bought by the Chinese-zheng fu and then nationalized. For price payment, land sellers can choose to accept Chinese banknotes, Zhongyuan, or grain!

Without exception, the first batch of people who chose to become Chinese were the officials, civil servants, landlords and rich peasants of the original local government. Since it was abandoned by Ulyanov's dialogue declaration of the new Soviet Russian regime, if Soviet Russia does not give up this land, for the above-mentioned propertied classes who own a large amount of land and estates, the Soviet Russian government promulgated The "Land Act" is also quite terrible!

The content of the leaflets distributed by the Chinese planes seems to be those red decrees and regulations continuously promulgated by Moscow and the entire Soviet Russian-controlled area. The land of the landlords is nationalized for free and distributed to the peasants, but the peasants must hand over their surplus grain. , otherwise it is the enemy of the Soviet and must be suppressed and eliminated.Landlords and rich peasants who were suppressed and wiped out

Siberia and the Far East are vast and sparsely populated. Although the arable land area accounts for less than a quarter of it, the population is even smaller. The annexation of land in Siberia and the Far East is much more relaxed than that of the European part of Russia. These past hundred years People who immigrated from the west to Siberia to seek gold have basically become self-cultivated farmers and rich farmers after several generations of hard work. Of course, there will always be people in any era and society who will become poor farmers and tenant farmers.

But a reality in the Russian countryside at the moment is that the owner peasants, middle peasants, rich peasants, and landlords are the mainstream of the Russian countryside and peasants, just like the self-sufficient Cossacks in the Don River Valley. You will be impoverished. Of course, poverty is often associated with diseases. More often, it is because of natural disasters that lead to poor harvests and poverty. Naturally, exorbitant taxes, wars, and bandits are more important factors.

The vast land and relatively sparse population of Siberia and the Far East made Wang Geng's policy of distributing free rations to all residents of the newly occupied areas of the squadron during the war less stressful than expected. At the same time, With the help of free wartime ration relief and free medical and health services, the local situation has been rapidly stabilized and the residents who are mainly Russians, although a little confused, have gradually recognized this land. The Chinese really want to Take it back!

Also in order to stabilize the local situation, the food monopoly system is also temporarily implemented on these recovered lands, but it is different from the surplus grain collection system in the Soviet Russia and Japanese occupied areas. The newly established Irkutsk, In Lake Baikal and the Far East Krai, non-governmental grain trading is prohibited, and grain can only be purchased from grain purchase points designated by the government, and all acts of reselling the free rations they receive will be severely punished.

In this new territory of China, Zhongyuan is the only currency allowed to circulate. Gold and silver must be exchanged for Zhongyuan at the newly opened offices of Bank of China and Bank of Communications in each town before they can be used.

For middle peasants, rich peasants, and the grain in the landlord's own granary, it is obviously safer to sell it to the government than to hide it in their own homes. Although guerrillas and bandits rarely appear, unfortunately there will be fish that slip through the net and sink in the middle of the night Come to eat big families, grab food, kill people and set fire.

When buying grain at the grain purchasing point of the local government, the farmers who hand in the grain can choose whether to pay for the grain in cash or choose grain exchange coupons.

Paying with food exchange coupons is like farmers depositing their own food in Zheng Fu’s food bank. When needed, they can exchange food as needed, which can avoid losses caused by food price fluctuations. Food is regarded as the most important strategic material And manage it.

Not only the whole of Russia, but also the whole of the occupied areas, and even the whole of Europe are in a state of food shortage due to the destruction of the war villages and agriculture.

In order to ensure credit and strengthen grain management, when landlords, rich peasants, and middle peasants sell grain to zhengfu grain warehouses for storage, the grain exchange coupons are registered and reported as lost, which means that in fact, as long as you have a legal certificate, You can know the food you deposited in the food bank from the food bank. Naturally, you need to make an appointment for large quantities.

Of course, for the people on the newly recovered 211 million square kilometers of land, the exemption of agricultural land tax within three years is great news!Nima, farming in Siberia is actually free of tax!This policy has thoroughly stabilized the local government and won the support of all classes from poor peasants to landlords!

The Irkutsk Krai, the Baikal Krai and the Far East Krai are directly under the management of the newly established Northern China Federal Autonomous Region. This is a decision made after a long discussion between Wang Geng, the Premier, the Undersecretary of the Army and the cabinet members. .

Although China has not yet unified the north and the south, all forces have been gearing up for the election of the House of Representatives that will be held in early August 1918. After so many years of ups and downs in the first year of the Republic of China, the House of Representatives has finally arrived at the election of the House of Representatives every three years. Election time!

The establishment of the Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China can be seen as a new exploration made by China in terms of national government. At this moment when Duan Zheng Fu's reputation is in full swing, at this moment when the Chinese participating troops have made outstanding contributions to the country, at this moment At this moment when China's international status has risen unprecedentedly, no force or individual can shake the position of Duan Qirui and the New Anhui Department in China in the future.

Any idea of ​​seeking autonomy and independence from the military has unconsciously dissipated in the minds of the leaders of various factions. From the establishment of the participating army to the present, it has not fired a single shot at the compatriots!The participating troops will never take the initiative to provoke a civil war. The mission of the squadron is to defend the country!
