Chapter 10: Vladivostok

Then everyone discussed for nearly a day, but they had differences in the choice of base area, Song Tao first put forward his own idea, his opinion was to establish a base in Lushun, but his proposal was not recognized by everyone.

A middle-aged man in his fifties took the lead in raising his own objections.

"Port Arthur is a base area, I don't think it's appropriate, maybe Xiao Song is more from the military level. The reason why I think Lushun is inappropriate is because in the seven or eight years from 1626 to 1633 AD, the area of southern Liaoning, including Lushun, was the fiercest battlefield of battle between the Ming army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I admit that the military value of Lushun is very high, and I also believe that with our strength, we can easily take Lushun and hold it, but if we build the base in Lushun from the beginning, it will inevitably attract the attention of both the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is not conducive to our next development. ”

He glanced up at everyone and then voiced his opinion.

"My opinion is that we should put our base in Taiwan, the current Ming Dynasty government, there is no influence on Taiwan, historically, the Spaniards, the Dutch occupied Keelung and Tamsui in Taiwan, and now the islands are dominated by aborigines, we can easily run our own base there."

This person's name is Shi Mingfeng, 52 years old this year, and he was recommended by Gao Jianguo. It turned out that Gao Jianguo was a comrade-in-arms in the army and had been engaged in political work. After returning to the local area, he served as the chairman of the trade union of a state-owned enterprise, and he often specialized in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties in his spare time.

Another new director also expressed his opinion, this person is named Li Shaokun, 42 years old this year, recommended by Song Tao. Li Shaokun is also a demobilized cadre, and he used to be the political commissar of a training base in the army. After changing jobs, I worked in a company in my hometown, my wife and I have divorced, and my son has returned to each other, and now I am unemployed at home.

"I don't think Taiwan is the most ideal location, first of all, Taiwan's local resources cannot meet the future development of our company, and the surrounding environment of Taiwan is very complicated, the Spaniards, the Dutch and countless pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, their forces are concentrated in this area. In addition, the sailors along the Fujian coast of the Ming Dynasty were also a big threat, although it would not be a problem for our company to defeat them, but it would be difficult to create an environment for peaceful development. So my opinion is Hainan. ”

After discussing for a long time, there were still big differences about the company's initial base in Taiwan and Hainan, although both places have their own advantages.

Gao Jianguo has never expressed his opinions, he saw that everyone's opinions could not be unified for a while, and he also opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

"Since everyone has talked about their own views, then I will also talk about it, although the two places that everyone has proposed are good, but everyone has forgotten that the prerequisite for our company to choose a base area must prepare for our company's future military struggle, so the geographical location of the base area must also have a certain military value."

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and said solemnly in a deep voice: "We don't go there to enjoy, if we only think about the hot kang head of our wife and children, and live on an acre and three points of land, it will go against our original intention at the beginning." ”

After Gao Jianguo said this, everyone was silent, Wang He saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he smiled and said: "Do you have any opinions to talk about, the choice of base is very critical, Lao Gao's words are reasonable, the geographical location of Hainan and Taiwan does have certain limitations, everyone brainstorms and talks about their own views." By the way, Lao Gao, you should also have your own ideas. ”

Gao Jianguo stood up, took out a large map from the side, spread it on the ground in the living room, took out a throwing stick and shook it violently, and then pointed to a location with a throwing stick and said to everyone: "I have thought about it for a long time, and I still think that this place is more in line with our conditions, and it is the most suitable for creating our first base area." ”

Everyone gathered around, and when they saw the location that Gao Jianguo was pointing to, they were all surprised. After the surprise, although they didn't speak, they all summed up thoughtfully.

The place that Gao Jianguo pointed to was a location that no one had thought of, that is, Vladivostok in the Far East. Now it is located at the junction of Russia, China and North Korea, facing the sea on three sides, and has an excellent natural harbor. The most important point is that it was a wild land around 1626 during the Ming Dynasty.

Song Tao asked suspiciously: "Lao Gao, this is the rear of the full people, can Huang Taiji rest assured that we can develop here with peace of mind?" ”

Without waiting for Gao Jianguo to answer, Shi Mingfeng next to him said: "In 1626, Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, but judging from the shape of the time shì, the Later Jin regime was facing a dangerous situation of being attacked on all sides, with the threat of Korea in the east, the fierce Mongolia in the west, the heavy troops of Liaodong in the south, the Heilongjiang River in the north, and the strong minority tribes in the Ussuri River basin that still belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

Vladivostok is located in the East China Sea Jurchen Nest Department of the sphere of influence, as early as the time of ** Hachi, had used troops against the East China Sea Jurchen 16 times, for Vladivostok near has been basically pacified, the original scattered tribes here, most of them were moved to the Hunhe River valley by the south of the Jin, so the vicinity of Vladivostok was very deserted around 1628, and sparsely populated.

Moreover, at that time, the Later Jin also put the main energy on the middle and upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, including the Huerha tribe, the Sauron tribe and many other tribes that were not sincerely attached, and sent troops to crusade three times since 1634, until 1643, these areas were truly pacified.

Therefore, we can concentrate on running our own forces in Vladivostok, as long as we do not touch the bottom line of the Houjin authorities at that time, I believe that Huang Taiji will not change his strategic plan. We expect to set foot in Vladivostok around 1628, and if we handle it properly, we will have a few years of quiet development. In a few years, even if Huang Taiji doesn't move us, we will have to go to him for trouble. ”

Wang He also nodded and said: "I have checked the information, starting from 1628, Huang Taiji will also go to Mongolia three times to fight against Lin Dan Khan, and in 1629, he will lead troops into the customs for the first time, and even kill under the city of Beijing." If we had arrived in Vladivostok after 1628 and established a base area, we would not have to worry about Huang Taiji pointing the finger at us for at least a few years. ”

Gao Jianguo also nodded and said: "If we choose Hainan or Taiwan, and want to set foot on the mainland, the best place is Fujian and Guangdong, where the terrain is complicated, not to mention, we must first face the traditional landlords and gentry forces of the Ming Dynasty with clans as the main body, which invisibly increases our work."

At this time, when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town and Phi Dao did not have the supply army of Dengzhou, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians there, all of whom had seen blood with the Manchus, and a large number of Han people in Liaodong were the objects of our early immigration, and they all had a deep blood feud with the Manchus, and there was no problem in training a strong army with them as the main body.

Although it will attract the attention of Emperor Taiji outside the Guanwai, but we went to the Ming Dynasty in another time and space for the purpose of changing and establishing a new world, and what the army was built for was to prepare for future military struggles. ”

Qiao Haipeng also said: "A few years later, Kong Youde rebelled in Dengzhou, we can also have a large-scale migration there, and then we can block the sea route for Kong Youde to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Song Tao on the side asked: "Vladivostok is a frozen port, it is said that you can't leave the port in winter." ”

Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that it freezes between December and March of the following year, and you can leave the port like an icebreaker, which is not a problem." ”

Guo Song was beside him, took out his notebook and put on the net for a long time, closed the computer at this time and asked: "Vladivostok is good, the coal resources there are quite rich, but there seems to be no iron ore there." ”

Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "When we established the base area in advance, as long as there were sufficient coal resources, we could meet our early development needs. Don't forget, across the sea in North Hamgyong Province, North Korea, there is a famous Mosan magnetite mine, which is still very easy to mine open-pit iron ore, not to mention the amazing reserves. It's right along the Tumen River, and when we develop it later, the first thing we have to do is to take it. ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone burst out laughing.

Gao Jianguo glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We must wipe out the Manchu military group headed by Huang Taiji in the northeast before Wu Sangui leads the Manchu Qing into the customs, so as not to cause trouble in the customs, and then we will base ourselves in the northeast, immigrate in large numbers from the customs, establish our new world power in the northeast, and when the time is ripe, we will turn to enter the customs." ”

Gao Jianguo's words were very imposing, and everyone was infected by his words, but Guo Song still frowned and asked his own question.

"But Vladivostok is not close if you take the sea route, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, can our transportation capacity guarantee our immigration plan?"

After listening to Guo Song's words, everyone felt that it made sense, and they all set their sights on Gao Jianguo.

Gao Jianguo smiled and said: "After we have gained a foothold in Vladivostok, we can use our current ships to pick up some Liao people in the early stage, and carefully select 1,800 young and strong people."

In the form of a teaching team, they will be trained to become the backbone of the troops, and then they will be emigrated in large quantities, and as for the long distance, and the problem of sea transport forces, we can choose some islands as transit points on the way, so that their bodies can adapt to the long-distance sea transportation, and then transport them back to Vladivostok in phases and batches. ”

He picked up the stick again and pointed twice on the map on the ground, these two islands are the transit islands I have chosen, and when you look at the place he pointed, you will find that these two islands are Jeju Island and Changsan Island near Dalian.

Wang He glanced at the two islands on the map, nodded as well, and said with a smile: "These two places are not bad, if the transit station is located on Jeju Island, even if we don't have enough capacity, there is no need to worry, let the immigrants stay there for a few years." Anyway, we're going to take it for ourselves in the future. ”
