Chapter 809: The Problem of the Ming Base Area

After grasping the actual situation, the company immediately mobilized nearby garrisons and carried out a large-scale crackdown in various camps. The operation was carried out in the middle of the night, and many of the black sheep hidden in the ranks of the displaced people were arrested in their beds.

After more than a month of hard work, the company has done a lot of work, and the strike hard operation has also been a complete success. A total of more than 10,000 displaced people who violated discipline were dealt with, nearly 1,000 were shot and killed, and thousands more were sent to coolie camps, and their future fate will be to spend their lives under the dark mines.

The iron-blooded methods of the Far East have eradicated some of the black sheep among the displaced people, and greatly deterred many restless displaced people in the camp camps. As a result, the next work of the various homeless camps can be quickly improved.

In order to quickly stabilize the mood in the camp and for the safety of nearly two million displaced people, at this time, even if the mistake is made, it must not be let go.

After a period of hard work, the work of the displaced camps has finally been put on the right track. Of course, during this period of time, a lot of detours have been taken, and a lot of lessons have been learned, and many grassroots management cadres who lack practical work experience have accumulated a lot of work experience during this period of time and have matured rapidly.

In particular, after the start of the winter training work, the mental outlook of all the displaced people was rapidly improved. The Propaganda and Education Department of the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Far Eastern Corporation and the Political Department of the Military Commission jointly set up a political work group to carry out all-round political and ideological work in the homeless and private areas. The Nationalities Committee and the Military Commission have dispatched a large number of political workers to build up a strong contingent of political workers, who have gone to various camps of the homeless camps to go deep into the grassroots units to have heart-to-heart talks and exchanges with the homeless people.

There is a loudspeaker in each room, and various programs are played every morning from the morning. An hour of political preaching every day after dinner, and an open-air movie once a week. Twice a month, grievance meetings. In normal times, there are all kinds of books, newspapers and picture albums that promote the policies of the Far Eastern Group Company for the displaced people to circulate.

Slogans were posted everywhere in every camp site, from the woodcut corrugated where the homeless lived, to the canteens, playgrounds, fences, and even the walls of the toilets were painted with slogans and slogans. It can be said that all kinds of propaganda methods emerge in an endless stream and are pervasive.

In such an environment, not to mention the Ming wanderers of this era, even if they are people in modern society. In such an environment, it is inevitable that you will be tricked after a long time. That's how Brain Platinum made his fortune back then.

Of course, the intensity of political and ideological work is so great, and the resources invested have also increased correspondingly, according to the company's statistics, the investment of several months in the political work working group is second only to the investment of food and other materials. One can imagine how much importance the Far East attaches to political and ideological work.

As it turns out, the greater the investment. The better the effect, too. After several months of political and ideological education in the Far Eastern Company, the thinking of the vast majority of the displaced people has changed to varying degrees, and even if a few smart people have already seen something, it will no longer affect the overall situation.

With the passage of time, these displaced people who later took root in the Far East, the ideas of the Far East, will be deeply ingrained in their hearts. So that the people under the rule of the Far East, the ideas and the company maintain a high degree of consistency.

With the full range of winter training unfolding. The order of many homeless camps is also getting better and better, and the homeless people have undergone winter training. Gradually, they learned to abide by discipline, and their own quality has also been significantly improved. At the same time as the winter training, the large-scale literacy work was also carried out intensively, and after a few months of winter training, the vast majority of the displaced people have basically mastered the most basic reading and writing skills, and have the ability to do arithmetic within ten digits.

Generally. The Far Eastern Company's work of accepting displaced people last year should be regarded as relatively successful. Although in the initial stage, due to the underestimation of the situation of the great drought in Chongzhen, the work caused a certain lag, and even caused chaos and disorder for a long time. Moreover, there is also a huge shortage of food and other materials. However, through the joint efforts of everyone, the acceptance of immigrants was successfully completed.

In the areas controlled by the Far Eastern Company, including Liaodong, Jeju Island, Luzon Island, Nanyang, Taiwan and other places, a total of more than 2 million displaced people were received and resettled. Through various efforts, more than one million tons of grain and agricultural products have been purchased and seized, which has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient grain reserves of the company.

Although the company is already doing its best to collect more than 2 million displaced people. However, in the face of the large-scale drought in several northern provinces of Daming, the huge tide of displaced people caused by the company, the number of displaced people collected by the company is only a drop in the bucket. In the next few years, the company will continue to increase its efforts to collect displaced people, and spare no effort to collect displaced people from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Through last year's acceptance of displaced people, the company has accumulated rich experience and learned some lessons from last year's acceptance process. This year's work of receiving displaced people will begin to actively prepare after the Spring Festival to save more Daming victims.

Compared with the company's work of accepting displaced people, Li Ming's work in Daming is much more difficult. Although last year, the eight traitors and Jin merchants were looted in the Jinzhong Basin and a large number of grain and other materials were seized, but in addition to grain, other materials still faced a relatively large shortage.

Because the Luliangshan base area was established relatively early and frequently visited several relatively wealthy areas such as the Jinzhong Basin, it was relatively easy to collect materials. Moreover, the company can also supply materials on a large scale through the Yishui waterway. Therefore, this year's work in the Luliangshan base area has been relatively smooth, and a total of more than 60,000 displaced people have been gathered.

However, several guerrilla detachments of the company in other areas of Daming faced greater difficulties. Among them, the infrastructure of several base areas such as Taihang Mountain and Yimeng Mountain has affected the progress of construction because of the lack of materials. Although some materials were hoarded by plundering the landlords and bureaucrats in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, the number of displaced people collected in several base areas was less than 100,000 in total.

The plan formulated at that time was that the various base areas of the Ming Dynasty would collect a total of 500,000 displaced people, but now even half of them have not been reached. The main reason is that there is a serious shortage of materials, and such a huge material gap cannot be effectively supported by the company.

Moreover, the development and construction of the various guerrilla detachments was relatively slow, because the quality of the displaced people was low, and if they had not undergone long-term training. It can barely cope with some poorly defended areas, but such areas are also relatively backward, and they can't collect enough supplies at all.

Beginning next year, the base areas will increase the scope of their activities, expand the scale of the base areas, and gather more displaced people. Li Ming will also go to the Hetao area to establish a base in the Hetao, and lay a nail in the north of Daming to prepare for the company's entry into the Central Plains in the future.
