In the past three months, the number of new foreign citizens registered by the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the three northeastern provinces has reached 120,000, bringing the number of foreign citizens in the three northeastern provinces to a scale of 500,000. The largest number is not Russian, nor is it

The Japanese are Koreans. North Korea has been under Japanese colonial rule for the past decade. Since it is a colony where Japan plunders resources, food, agricultural products and dumped industrial products at a low price, North Korea's economic situation has long reached a terrible level, and has continued to rise in recent years.

The number of North Koreans fleeing into the three eastern provinces has been increasing rapidly.

Because these people are basically not subject to normal management and are not registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange can only roughly estimate that it is about 250,000, accounting for more than half of the foreign citizens of the three eastern provinces.

Song Biao welcomes foreign citizens to work in the three eastern provinces, but the conditions are in compliance with the "Agreement of the Three Eastern Provinces of the Qing Dynasty and the Five Russian, French, British, Japanese and German countries". There are two provisions in this agreement. First, except for naturalized foreigners, foreign citizens are in the East.

The three provinces shall not directly hold or purchase agricultural land; secondly, foreign citizens should have certain work experience and educational qualifications. In principle, long-term approval will not be approved for non-investors, except for husband and wife and relatives.

Residence permits can only hold short-term visas and temporary residence rights.

A large number of North Koreans who poured into the three northeastern provinces from the North Korean border did not meet these two conditions at all. They had to occupy land resources when they came in, especially in large-scale residence in areas where the three northeastern provinces had not yet been reclaimed. Japan even secretly supported the Kingdom of Korea to use these residents.

In the three eastern provinces, the Qing Empire provoked so-called territorial disputes.

Because the Kingdom of Korea is not within the scope of the "Agreement of the Three East Provinces and Five Nations", Song Biao has not had the energy to worry about this for the past six months. He just sent people to negotiate with Japan and North Korea, and in order not to affect the three east provinces, the Japanese government,

The cooperation between the new Northeast Army has made a positive attitude on the surface, but in fact it still intends to steal jurisdiction over the Yanji region. However, due to its great strength, it dares not act rashly, and continues to support the Kingdom of Korea behind its back. And North Korea continues to support the Kingdom of Korea.

I am more willing to continue to occupy these areas with the support of Japan.

During the Daoguang period, the total number of Korean people in the three eastern provinces was less than 10,000, and most of them were in the mountainous areas of Changbai Mountain. In addition, they have been smuggling over the past thirty years.

In the 7th year of Guangxu (1881), the Qing government set up a recruitment bureau in Jilin, allowing the Koreans to enter Yanji to reclaim wasteland. At first, it was allowed to be deemed as a national. In the 11th year of Guangxu, as North Korea began to determine that this area was the territory of the Kingdom of Korea, the Qing Dynasty

The government immediately changed the conditions and required the North Koreans who reclaimed land on the Jilin border to return after the autumn harvest. The North Koreans basically refused to leave. The North Korean Kingdom also secretly supported this force of occupation and even established officials.

This is the so-called Mashima Territory issue.

You must admit that North Korea is also an extremely shameless country.

After Jilin established a recruitment and reclamation bureau, about 50,000 North Koreans entered Jilin Province in a formal manner, but more were informal fugitives.

Song Biao opened official and commercial cruise ships in Zhili, Shandong, Jiangbei and other places, and regularly traveled to and from the three northeastern provinces and the pass through the pass every week. He can enter 40,000 people in the pass through the pass every month. He will enter the pass by until the end of the year.

This scale has gradually increased to a scale of 200,000 people per month.

Since March, Song Biao has adopted a tough policy in Yanji, first prohibiting the influx of North Koreans from Yanji one after another. He set up multiple patrol detachments in the local area to continuously arrest North Korean refugees and forcibly repatriate them.

Song Biao was also a strategy of killing two birds. On the one hand, he was tough on the North Korean and Japanese ronin, and on the other hand, he forcibly cut off the left patrol battalion of more than 10,000 people who were secretly recruited by Jilin Governor Zeng Yun, and reorganized the training. After the breakup, he was included in the border areas.

The patrol detachment, like Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and Zhang Jinghui, were all removed from their military positions, and they placed some idle deputy positions in the police stations of remote governments to them.

Song Biao himself appointed Xue Changqing as the General Office of the Yanji Military Reclamation Bureau, replacing the original Reclamation Bureau, and serving as the local police bureau of Zhili Prefecture to implement military reclamation in Yanji, and prepare to gradually establish a patrol corps in Yanji.

The Japanese army confronted North Korea and the Japanese army with the type of armed police.

In Dandong, Hunjiang, Song Biao continued to appoint Chang Wanchun and Sun Shiyong as the General Office of the Military Reclamation Bureau. In Korqin, Tongliao and even across the jurisdiction of the three eastern provinces, Hua Zhenji was sent to serve as the General Office of the Military Reclamation Bureau.

The local police bureau also proposed to form the Liaoxi Patrol Corps to deal with the Mongolian bandits.

After Zhang Zuolin's troops were forcibly demolished by Song Biao, Zeng Yun was frightened and uneasy every day, so she had to come to see Song Biao again.

This time it was not as easy as last time. Song Biao was too lazy to see him, so he asked him to find a way to transfer from the three northeastern provinces. After the extortion of Yinchang and Tang Shaoyi, Song Biao arranged another afternoon.

Meet Zeng Yun.

Zengyun is a Mongolian. Before the Russo-Japanese War, she served as the governor of Xinminfu. She was promoted to the position of governor of Jilin. This person was able to leave his name in history because of Zhang Zuolin, and it was him who recruited and

Zhang Zuolin was promoted, and then he gained the glory of Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin also regarded him as his teacher and respected him as his mentor.

Among the three governors in the three northeastern provinces, the only one with some force in his hands was Zeng Yun. He waited for Zhang Zuolin's troops to be forcibly demolished by Song Biao on the grounds of "reforming the military system and reorganizing civil defense". The Qing government dared to be angry.

Not daring to speak, Zeng Yun was even more frightened.

That afternoon, Song Biao summoned the first staff and the second department to discuss the matter of sending troops to clear out the bandits in Changbai Mountain. He met Zeng Yun alone in the conference room and gave Zeng Yun half an hour to reorganize the old story.

Zengyun is actually useful. This person is born in Mongolia. His biggest feature in his life is that he is good at meeting celebrities. He is the prefect of the three northeastern provinces and promoted Zhang Zuolin. He was a governor in Zhejiang and had conflicts with Lu Xun.

He was also attacked by Chiang Kai-shek, who had just returned from studying in Japan.

Because he is Mongolia, he always has some spies in Mongolia. As the governor of Jilin, he has a way to deal with the Mongolian bandits. Originally, his cooperation with Zhang Zuolin was a good match, and Song Biao was willing to make a story about the two of them destroying the Mongolian bandits.

The result was that the Qing government was shameless, and Zeng Yun was a little unsure of his mind. He secretly did the matter of increasing troops.

It would be fine if you add a few hundred troops, but it would be better if you add more than 4,000 troops?

Just after the meeting of Song Biao, the two officers from the staff office were gradually leaving the venue, and they were rushing all the way to the corridor and met Zeng Yun who was rushing over urgently. Seeing that the Russians on Song Biao were even better than the original.

*There is more situation for the officials, Zeng Yun really doesn't know what to do.

He was already sweating profusely. It was an unexpected surprise for him to be the governor of Jilin. In fact, it was because he was unavailable to the court and other officials refused to come to the three eastern provinces to take office, just as he was able to be the first to be the first.

Like the prefect, the prefects of other prefectures ran away, and he could continue to guard the imperial administration in the Xinmin Prefecture.

Loyalty is commendable.

He hurried into the office and saw Song Biao continuing to look through the meeting minutes at the conference table. Jilin Governor Zengyun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The lower-ranking official Jilin Governor Zengyun has seen the Governor General."

Song Biao didn't even think about looking at him with his eyes and asked indifferently: "Why, don't you have the courage to take a sick leave from the court to go home for a few years?"

Zengyun was speechless, feeling sad and sad, and felt that the Qing Dynasty had reached this point. The additional patrol battalion, which was obviously following the arrangements of the Military Affairs Office, was forcibly demolished, and he didn't even dare to say a word.

The three northeastern provinces have indeed changed.

Zengyun could only bow to him again and said, "The lower official has already realized his mistake. I hope the Governor will give him an opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Song Biao then turned his face and looked at him, saying, "Since you still want to be the governor of Jilin, then do it well. I still say the same thing, don't do anything shameless for me. People's governance and government affairs are

I don’t worry much about you governors, unless it’s really bad and fails to do it as I expected. As for military, government, civil defense, bandit suppression, etc., you should worry less and cooperate more, and you can stretch your hands across the boundary.

I will chop your hands, and you will stretch your head across the bounds. I will chop your head. Have you heard it clearly?"

Zengyun could only kowtow and beg for mercy, saying, "I understand, I hear it clearly!"

Song Biao then said, "Sit down. If you want to commit crimes and make meritorious service, then start by clearing out the Mongolian bandits!"

Zengyun breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said, "Thank you for your injustice, Governor."

The adjutant of the staff who accompanied Song Biao stepped forward, pulled a chair for Zengyun and invited Zengyun to sit down. Zengyun could only sit down anxiously, waiting for Song Biao to continue to give orders and inquire.

Song Biao also asked him: "Do you know a lot about the bandits?"

Zengyun hurriedly replied: "Report to the Governor, I know a little bit about the job."

A dignified governor wanted to call himself a "lower position" in front of the governor, and this governor lived too unfairly.

Song Biao continued to look at the meeting minutes in front of him, thinking about the various details of using troops to suppress bandits in Hengren, Dandong and other places. After thinking about it for a while, he put the meeting minutes aside and said to Zengyun: "Then just talk about it and read it."

!”

Zengyun said: "I dare to say that the rebellion of the Mongol bandits still originated from the reclaiming strategy of this dynasty. Most of the reclamation areas set up by the Han people and the imperial court were on the frontiers. In the past, it was the place where the Mongols grazed me. Now it has been reclaimed as fertile land, and the Mongols have failed.

Therefore, some people gathered to rebel. Reclamation is a national policy. If the implementation is more clever and can protect people's benefits, there will naturally be no such thing as bandits."

Song Biao thought about it and felt that Zeng Yun said something had some truth, so he said: "The frontier must always be stable. The three northeastern provinces have too few populations and are sparsely populated, so they are remembered by foreigners. Mongolia continues to be so vast.

If there are fewer people, there will be chaos sooner or later.”

Zeng Yun said: "It is better to change the civilian reclamation. Official reclamation is military reclamation, mainly herding horses, rather than farming. The Han people entered Mongolia in large numbers to reclaim wasteland. The two people fought for this and it was already a stubborn disease. There was no need to send all people to maintain the border.

Isn’t it better to farm and only send military reclamation, half-herd and half-army than to send civilians to seize land and open up land?"

Song Biao nodded, but said, "It's a pity that it's not our responsibility. We can set up more military reclamation on the border. Although the people are in danger, they have great deterrence. I'll give you a while, and send cavalry and local military reclamation bureaus to cooperate with you to clear the situation.

Meng Bandit, think of more ways to put a spy in the other party and inquire about information. In addition to clearing out Meng Bandits, you must also speed up the work of Jilin's new policy. If you do not have such ability, then appoint and reuse it.

Those who can handle the new policy.”

Zengyun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "Thank you, Governor General. You must do your best to plan a new policy for the three provinces and pacify the bandits."

Zengyun had already been defeated at this time, so Song Biao was naturally lenient to him. After looking at the watch, seeing that the time was almost over, Song Biao said to Zengyun: "You can stay in the guesthouse for a few days first.

I will talk to Tang Shaoyi and the others about the new policy. I will talk to you in a few days. If you have something else today, let’s talk about it here!”

After saying this, Song Biao handed over the meeting minutes to the adjutant of the staff around him, got up and prepared to go to the secretariat, where he wanted to summarize the promotion of soybeans in the three eastern provinces.

Seeing that Song Biao was about to leave, Zengyun couldn't wait to send him off and said, "I am honored to send you to the Governor."

After waiting for Song Biao to leave the conference room, Zengyun hurriedly got up and found a seat to continue sitting down to take a breath. She only felt very regretful that she was in the position of governor of Jilin. He would rather be a magistrate in the pass than be caught between the court and the east.

The Governors of the Three Provinces suffered a lot. No normal person can afford it.

Cheng Dequan's Heilongjiang is far away, and Yinchang's Fengtian Province is under the nose of the Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces. Both governors have reason to shirk the various secret orders of the court, but he is not far or near and hard to shirk.

Suffer.

After thinking about it, Zengyun still felt that what Tang Shaoyi said made sense--to be an official in the three northeastern provinces, you must first listen to the governor and then listen to the court, because the court can provoke him, but the governor cannot provoke him.

...

As the second phase of the training went through the first half of the cycle, Song Biao was less and less in the three eastern provinces, and he even began to formally expand the Governor's Office recently. A Governor's Office was built separately in the military department.

, and also hired Russian architectural designers.

Russia's political and economic chaos has made the three northeastern provinces seize many opportunities in development. For example, Song Biao's governor's office has gradually added many experts from Russia, including secretary, new policy, foreign management,

In addition to the five permanent institutions, a foreign expert bureau was added to attract a large number of foreign experts, especially Russian experts through official and various unofficial channels.

There are currently 65 people in this Foreign Experts Bureau, and Li Enfu serves as the director of the Foreign Experts Bureau. It has various departments involving agriculture, industry, water conservancy, plants, economy, finance, chemistry, bridges, railways, taxation, metallurgy, and mines.

In various fields such as education, these foreign experts receive a considerable salary from the Foreign Experts Bureau. At the same time, they can also work in various enterprises under the Far East Commercial Bank, or work in the Northeast Science Institute, a new institution directly under the Governor's Office, or
