In the next few days, the investigation team continued to inspect various parts of the Luliangshan base area. The members of the Standing Committee and members of the board of directors of the company originally thought that a formal inspection would give them a lot of gains in the base area.

In the past few days, the inspection team has gone down to various grassroots units in the base areas to eat and live with the displaced people, and to exchange ideas and talk with them. They feel that the minds of the displaced people in the base areas are very stable, and they are full of hope for the future of the base areas.

Both the fighters of the guerrilla detachment and the displaced people in the base areas were in a happy mood, full of spirit, and loyal to the Far Eastern Company, and the expedition found a vigorous spirit in them.

The Lüliang Mountain Base is located in the eastern mountainous area of the Lüliang Mountains, and the more than 60,000 displaced people in the base area cannot be concentrated at all, so they can only be scattered in various areas around the base area according to the establishment of the detachment. This has brought a lot of trouble to the management of the base areas.

This also invisibly increases the workload of the base management committee, and there are mountain roads between the various detachments, and many times in order to work, they have to go to several detachments a day, and the time spent on the road alone has to be half a day.

The complex topography of the base area has also brought unimaginable difficulties to the construction of the base area. The base area was able to reach such a scale in a few months, and the efforts made by Li Ming and a group of people in the base area management committee under such difficult circumstances can be imagined.

Gao Jianguo, Wang He, and other members of the Standing Committee of the company's board of directors, after several days of inspection, also admired the work of the local management committee. They know very well that in the team of the management committee, except for Li Ming, Ma Qing and Zhou Lin, there are basically no capable talents left. However, they relied on their down-to-earth hard work to run the Luliangshan base area impressively.

Many members of the Standing Committee of the Ethnic Affairs Committee have a good understanding of Li Ming's ability to work in civil affairs. There is also a new understanding. In the face of the extreme shortage of materials and talents, Li Ming, who was able to make such achievements in a few months, as the leader of the base management committee, can be said to have made great contributions.

At present, in addition to the situation in the Luliangshan base area, it is still quite satisfactory. The situation of the company's several bases in other parts of Daming is not very optimistic. In fact, to put it bluntly, the bottleneck of development is the extreme lack of materials, and don't want to develop and grow without materials.

In the past two years, in order to receive the displaced people in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the materials have also been relatively tight, and all departments have changed the previous local tyrant style and have begun to make careful calculations. Although the base areas in Daming are important for the future development of the company, they are not so urgent after all. Weighing priorities and urgency, it is bound to be impossible to give strong support to the various base areas.

In fact, even if the company wants to support, it will face certain difficulties. Each base area is deep in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all barren places with poor mountains and bad waters, and it is difficult for the company to carry out direct supply by water or land. Therefore, in the past two years, the base areas in various parts of the Ming Dynasty can only carry forward the style of hard work and live a hard life for a few years with their belts in their belts.

Fortunately, this situation may ease this year. After several months of winter training. The combat effectiveness of the guerrilla detachments in the various base areas has made great progress. As a result, all base areas have gained some confidence and hope to make a comeback this year. will launch a relatively large operation.

They all submitted their battle plans for this year, and the scale of the operation was relatively large, and some detachments even attacked the local capital. If the operation is successful, the detachments will have the capital to develop and grow by relying on the materials captured during the operation.

The board of directors of the Far Eastern Company attaches great importance to the development of various base areas. If you want to take advantage of the chaotic situation in the north of the Ming Dynasty in recent years. If we have planted a nail in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, we can only choose some old and barren areas to establish base areas. The base area is located in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to tear the skin with the Ming Dynasty, and for the development of the base area, it is impossible to place the base area in the prosperous and wealthy area of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Far East Company in the eastern Liaoning region has always been very vigilant. Over the years, his investment in Guan Ningjun has not decreased, but has increased a lot. I often find some capable courtiers who know the soldiers, and as ministers, they go to the Ningjin area to inspect military affairs.

However, the Ming Dynasty went up to the old ministers of the imperial court, and down to the feudal officials and generals in various places, but they were not as active as Chongzhen. Officials and generals from all over the country, and even the old and important ministers of the court, all cooperated with each other to fight with Chongzhen.

They all know the strength of the Far East, and the Tartars who can sweep through Liaodong in a few months can not compete with the Ming Dynasty that is leaking everywhere now. Later, the Far East sent troops to wash the steppe with blood, and within a few months, they successively wiped out the Lingnan tribes such as the Alukorqin Division, the Nen Korqin Division, the Daur Division, the Guaercha Division, the Uqiyat Division, the Karaqin Division, and the Inner Khalkha Division.

How could such a thing be concealed from the military leaders of the border army and officials from all over the country, and the elders in the court knew everything about this matter. However, even the most loyal civilian and military generals of the Ming Dynasty did not want to anger the Far East at this time. So now Chongzhen is the only one, still in the dark, although he is also aware of the crisis from the Far East, but no one mentions this stubble.

Now the Ming court is very strange from top to bottom, and the word Far East has become a taboo, no matter who it is, if you dare to put forward these two words in the public, it will inevitably be reprimanded by all parties.

In the eyes of the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, the Far East and the Later Jin Tartars are completely different, they are not alien barbarians, they are of the same species as the Ming Dynasty, and according to legend, they are still descendants of the Song family. also accepted the official canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and the face of the inside is reasonable.

Although Li Ming, the lord of the East China Sea Kingdom, has not expressed his gratitude since he accepted the canonization, nor has he paid even a symbolic tribute, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty can still find a fig leaf to fool him.

Now up to the elders of the Ming Dynasty and down to the heads of the border army, everyone is like an ostrich with their heads stuck in the sand, covering their ears and pretending to be indifferent. Even the vassal state of North Korea sent people to the Ming Dynasty several times to cry and complain, denouncing the Far East for encroaching on its northern territory, and the Ming court was perfunctory.

Until this year, North Korea was swallowed by the Far East, and the North Korean officials who escaped by luck came to the capital after several twists and turns, but they didn't even see Chongzhen's face, and they were sent away by several elders in the court.

As for whether the Far Eastern Company will enter the Central Plains in the future, it is unknown what the Ming Dynasty and these civilian and military generals think in their hearts, anyway, they all have their own ghosts. The change of the Central Plains Celestial Empire, a cycle of hundreds of years, this is already the objective law of historical development, for those who are doctors, no matter who wants to sit in this world, they must be inseparable from them.

For thousands of years, China's literati have strived to rise above the common people at the bottom, to be among the bureaucratic class that rules over the masses of the people. The means they relied on were to take the written word and what little knowledge they had as their own, as a weapon of ignorance to control the countryside, not to enlighten them.
