After putting a lot of effort into the army, Su Yonglin will also ask the army to give him adequate feedback.
In mid-November, during the harsh winter, Su Yonglin allocated a large amount of winter supplies and high-calorie foods such as dried meat to the Liaodong Corps, and sent an order to the Liaodong Corps, asking the Liaodong Corps to launch a battle in Shangjing to deal with the remnants of the Jin Kingdom remaining in the Shangjing area. Initiate the final decisive battle.
He asked the Liaodong Corps to capture Wan Yanyong, the puppet emperor of the Jin Kingdom, alive and send him to Zhongdu for public trial.
In order to increase the success rate of this battle, Su Yonglin also specially dispatched Xin Qiji to lead the Huben Army's 10,000 elite cavalry to the Liaodong Corps to increase the mobility of the Liaodong Corps.
Under this premise, Su Jue and Wei Kexian formulated a two-pronged attack on Huining Mansion, attacking from both sides. They planned to launch a lightning-quick attack on Huining Mansion when there was no heavy snowfall, capture Huining Mansion as soon as possible, and capture them alive. Wan Yanyong, end this war.
On November 18, Xin Qiji took the lead in attacking as the vanguard of the army. He led three thousand elite cavalry to quickly attack in the direction of Huining Mansion, starting the battle.
In Zhongdu, Su Yonglin held a meeting of the General Affairs Bureau and announced that he would select some land in the northern region to carry out cotton planting operations, treat cotton, which has long been an ornamental crop, as a strategic mission, and promote the development of cotton textile technology.
Su Yonglin said that he had seen cotton textile products when he was in the south of the Yangtze River. He felt that cotton textiles were very warm when worn in winter. He believed that cotton textiles are very suitable for making clothes in cold areas and have a very good effect on keeping warm.
However, because there is no experience in large-scale cotton planting in the northern region, he suggested that some areas should be selected to carry out cotton planting pilot projects, and textile industry personnel who are good at weaving should be selected to conduct research on cotton prevention and control technologies.
The General Services Administration had no objections to this.
Su Yonglin felt that it was a pity that China had obviously started to grow cotton in courtyards a long time ago, but it had long regarded cotton as an ornamental crop and had not discovered the economic and military value of cotton. It was really a waste.
In the future, he is preparing to develop Liaodong on a large scale. In the cold and long winter of Liaodong, cotton, which is cheap and has a very good thermal insulation effect, will become a magic weapon for both military and civilian use.
With this idea in mind, Su Yonglin promulgated the administrative order and ordered the Agricultural Affairs Department of the General Affairs Bureau to organize a team to promote the matter and conduct research from cotton breeding to planting to harvesting, laying the foundation for large-scale popularization and planting.
At the same time, Su Yonglin also began to arrange immigration from Shandong, Hebei and Hedong areas to Liaodong area.
Although a group of vested interests in Yanyun and the Central Plains region were destroyed after the war, generally the vested interests still had an absolute advantage. For stable political purposes, Su Yonglin could not touch their interests for the time being.
What Su Yonglin could do openly and honestly was the interests of the Jurchens and those who opposed him. He liquidated these people in advance, and the obtained population and land helped him successfully build the foundation of seventy Fuxing counties.
At present, the seventy Fuxing counties established in traditionally populous areas have reached the limit of the expansion of the Fuxing Association's power. If we want to continue to expand the power of the Fuxing Association at this stage, we must find another way to avoid conflicts with vested interests. Head-to-head confrontation.
So Su Yonglin took a fancy to the Liaodong region.
Liaodong has not been the sphere of influence of the Han people since the late Tang Dynasty, and no Han power has touched it in more than two hundred years. The Liberation Army regime led by Su Yonglin was the first Han political force to touch Liaodong since the late Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, in Su Yonglin's view, Liaodong is an uncultivated virgin land, a new world where he can show his talents, and it is his hope to cut off the influence of the old bureaucracy and the old gentry forces from the political power.
Liaodong in this era was basically the private territory of the Jurchens. The Bohai people and the Khitan people were also servants of the Jurchens here, and they did not have any advantage.
The Jurchens were the targets of Su Yonglin's fair and just attack, and they were the targets of Su Yonglin's fair and square liquidation.
Therefore, nothing he does in Liaodong will arouse opposition and vigilance from the political forces under his command.
The Fuxing Society, which is currently unable to expand in traditional Chinese areas, can use the Liaodong region as its base to expand on a large scale. In order to adapt to this process, a large number of Han people are needed to fill in.
Su Yonglin set the basic strategy of "Go to Liaodong and develop the Northeast" at the meeting of the Renaissance Society's headquarters, and decided to build Liaodong as the exclusive territory of the Renaissance Society. As the rear area of the Renaissance Society, he laid the foundation for the Renaissance Society's power to sweep across the entire Central Plains.
The large number of refugees generated by the war can just be filled in the capitals of Liaodong states.
Su Yonglin arranged for the floating population that could not be accommodated in the seventy Fuxing counties to be sent to Liaodong together, the floating population that emerged because of the war, the population that fell into the hands of bandits due to the war and then was exterminated and captured, etc.
Starting from mid-September, Su Yonglin began to fill the population in the area east of Yuguan. As the Liberation Army marched into Liaodong, more and more people were sent to Liaodong by Su Yonglin's land and water lines.
Part of the large amount of resources required for this process came from the wealth obtained by Su Yonglin from squeezing the Jurchen powerful people, and part of it came from the "contributions" of the old bureaucrats and old gentry.
This is quite interesting. The reason was that Su Yonglin blackmailed the Han gentry in the Central Plains represented by the Kong family. In order to cater to Su Yonglin's needs and gain Su Yonglin's favor, the Han gentry in the Central Plains sent resources to Su Yonglin one after another.
Sending money is considered ordinary, sending grain, sending bacon, sending cloth, sending silk, sending wood, sending paint, sending bricks and stones, etc., etc., in short, as long as they have, one Send all the energy to the middle.
Su Yonglin was not shy about assigning several positions with real power in the General Affairs Bureau to representatives elected by several families that gave the most money and resources.
This is another sense of selling one's official position.
But everyone knows that this is a chaotic state in the early days of the dynasty, where nothing is a rule and everything is a rule.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime window period. The brave will starve to death, and the timid will starve to death. After passing this village, there will be no such store.
If we really have to wait until order is established and the imperial examination system is established, there will be no chance of doing this again.
If we don’t seize political resources now, when will we have to wait?
Now Su Yonglin needs supplies, and needs a lot of supplies. It is of great significance to "donate" supplies to Su Yonglin at this time!
As a result, these extremely wealthy landlord and gentry families "donated generously" and took out a large amount of materials from their own warehouses to "bribe" Su Yonglin under various pretexts.
Su Yonglin gained a lot. He transferred these things to the public accounts and contributed to the ongoing policies.
The relocation of the first batch of 50,000 households to Jinzhou and Quang Ninh was successfully completed with the help of this batch of "donated" materials.
