Chapter 208: The Great Migration

Li Hongzhang is not an idle person, seeing Yang Shixiang walking out, Li Hongzhang once again relied on the sunlight outside the window to look at the map of the Northeast again.

"This person is interesting." Li Hongzhang smiled slightly, returned to the desk, and picked up the book he read the most, "The Book of Zeng Guofan's Family"

Li Hongzhang knew in his heart that Liu Jun knew that the imperial court would not give him a little food, so he would be self-reliant, mobilize the army, and develop the Northeast wilderness. That place, in fact, the land is fertile, but for more than two hundred years, the Northeast has not allowed the people of Guannai to enter, otherwise, the income of the Qing Empire will increase again.

It's a pity, Li Hongzhang shook his head slightly, the imperial court can't see this, and now that Liu Jun sees it, he dares to guarantee that it won't be long after, maybe just a year, Liu Jun's grain can not only be completely self-sufficient, but also exported.

The Great Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid it won't be long, looking at a few crumbling yellow leaves on a tree outside the window. Li Hongzhang closed his eyes. I thought with emotion in my heart.

On the official road from Shengjing to Liaoyang in Liaodong, groups of people wearing black patches, pushing wheelbarrows, dragging children and daughters, and pulling cows are slowly walking on the official road.

"Mother, are you cold or not, do you want to put on your son's clothes." A dark-faced, about thirty-year-old man, was pushing a wheelbarrow, on the car, put a few broken quilts, on the quilt, sat an old man with a wrinkled face, snow-white hair, the old man, put on a lot of clothes, the outermost is obviously a gray coat.

The old lady looked kindly at her son, who was pushing her, and wiped the sweat from the man's face with a handkerchief that was already dirty.

"Baby, how can it be cold, Liu Dashuai gave our family two sets of cotton clothes this time, which were worn by Liu Dashuai's soldiers, and they were also sent to us, but you gave me all those two clothes, how can it be cold, when the baby comes, you must be cold if you wear so little."

"Hehe, mother, the child is not cold." That being said, a cold wind blew, and the dark-skinned man was visibly shivering.

This person's name is Chang Si, and he has been living in the Haicheng area. Originally, there were two thin fields, after the Japanese army occupied Haicheng, Chang Si took his wife to hide in the mountains, and did not come out until the end of the war, in the land reform, Chang Si was divided into some days, this time the government issued a notice to move to the Northeast, he discussed with his mother, and decided to go to the Northeast, after all, he could get more than five times the field at that time. After getting his mother's consent, Chang Si went to Haicheng County to sign up. Ten days later, they received two sets of Lushun army coats and five taels of silver from the county government. And inform the first group of people who went to the Northeast that someone would take them to Heilongjiang.

"Mother, do you think we really have a lot of fields?" Chang Si pushes up the wheelbarrow.

"Yes, Liu Dashuai never lied to our people." After the old lady finished speaking, she began to mutter: "When we have land and money, I will find a matchmaker and tell you about your daughter-in-law, and then I will be right about your dead father." ”

"What did my mother say?" The five-foot-tall man, whose face was flushed all of a sudden, kept looking at the crowd walking on this road, as if he had done something wrong.

At the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun stood in front of the window from time to time, the weather was already getting colder, and the military uniform on his body had been changed into a thick gray military uniform, not to mention, he was even draped in a black cloak, which fluttered with the sea breeze from time to time.

"Head" Zhong Lin arrived at a cup of hot tea and handed it to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun took it and glanced at Zhong Lin. Zhong Lin was also wearing a thick military uniform and a gray military coat today, with a gold medal of the rank of general, which glowed in the sunlight without any heating from time to time.

At the same time as the expansion of the corps, the military ranks were also adjusted, and Li Rong, Zhong Lin and Wu Hao were added as generals, and he, under the vote and proposal of everyone, officially became the rank of marshal.

A huge golden dragon, in the clouds, is chasing a mellow dragon ball, the symbol of the rank of the commander of the Lushun army.

Liu Jun took a sip of tea and didn't say anything, but Zhong Lin could see that Liu Jun's face was full of worry.

Zhong Lin pointed out that he had seen this worry twice, once when the Beiyang Naval Division was besieged in Weihai, Liu Jun sat in the telegraph room without sleep for two days and two nights and waited for news from the Beiyang Naval Division. And this time, it's not much better.

He had been to Liu Jun's house just now, but the news he got from Aixinjue Luo Ruojing was indeed that Liu Jun had not returned home for two days. He knew where Liu Jun was, so he said goodbye and came to the war room, and sure enough, as soon as he came in, he saw Liu Jun standing there with a sad face and bloodshot eyes.

"Head, are you worried about this migration?"

Liu Jun nodded, he was indeed worried.

This time the people moved, many places are insufficient, such as warm clothes, although he issued several orders to let Li Ronghe and Yi Ketanga be sure to do a good job of receiving residents from all over the place, but now, Liu Jun is still a little worried, after all, in the northeast, the wind in winter is as terrifying as a knife, and if you don't pay attention, you will freeze to death, not to mention that most of these migrated people don't have any warm winter clothes, although he ordered to mobilize a batch of military coats from the army, but that can only be a relief, We can't just let the people wear a military coat and spend a winter.

"Head, I have ordered the Lushun Garment Factory to process 200,000 quilts and cotton clothes again, which should allow the people to survive this winter safely." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jun again.

After getting this news, Liu Jun was very satisfied, and the melancholy look on his face also decreased a lot. After looking down and thinking for a while, Liu Jun thought for a while and said, "This year, two tons of grain are being transferred from the treasury. Sent to the Northeast, extraordinary period. ”

Zhong Lin nodded. Turn and walk out of the room.

Liu Jun was left alone, standing alone outside the window, and for a long time, he turned around and came to the map hanging on the wall. This is the route of migration of people everywhere.

I hope that the people can survive this winter safely, Liu Jun finished muttering to himself, turned around and took off the military hat and put it on his head, today he still has something to deal with, that is, to cut the ribbon for the groundbreaking ceremony of Lushun Military Academy and Lushun Military Medical University.

The Lushun Military Academy and the Lushun Military Medical University are the places where Liu Jun focused on the construction this time, and the Lushun Shipyard, because the German personnel had not arrived at all, did not choose a good address. Therefore, Liu Jun took the lead in building Lushun Military Academy and Lushun Military Medical University.

Lushun Military Academy and Lushun Military Medical University, where they are located, are both in Longtou Town.

Longtou Town is far within the range of artillery fire, and in addition, it is not far from the two Lushun seats, in case of emergency, students can enter the mountains as quickly as possible to escape.

Longtou Town, although there are only a few hundred households, but today, it is indeed crowded with tens of thousands of people, it has never been a military powerhouse, and there is no Longtou Town where the Lushun Army is stationed.

Early in the morning, the fog had not completely cleared. One kilometer west of Longtou Town, at this time, martial law was already under complete martial law, and many people could only stand outside the martial law line, looking at the Lushun Army with a rifle in hand and a serious face.

Although the weather was cold, these people craned their necks and kept sticking their heads into the distance.

They all know that today is the time for their patron saint and the three ladies of the patron saint to cut the ribbon for these two universities.

"Here it is. It's coming." A man with a neck as long as a giraffe suddenly saw the carriage not far away, and began to tear open his throat and shout.

All of a sudden, the crowd began to crowd forward, and everyone wanted to stand in the nearest place and see their protector.

"Stand back, stand back......" The heavily armed soldiers stopped and did not let the people pass, after all, there were so many people in this crowd, if something happened to Liu Jun, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died a dozen times.

Liu Jun, who was riding on a horse, saw that the Lushun army was pushing and shouting with the people, and frowned violently, and the face that was talking and smiling just now suddenly became extremely gloomy. Without saying a word, he hit the horse and took a few steps forward.

In charge of this security guard is Wang Wei of the First Regiment of the Praetorian Guard, Wang Wei is a man who has been promoted directly from a soldier to the commander step by step, and when he saw the handsome man who was still smiling just now, he suddenly lowered his face. Wang Wei's mind was full of question marks, he didn't know where he said the wrong thing, in order to get an answer, he turned his head to Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin looked into the distance, and then looked at Liu Jun who was going away. Smiling slightly, Zhong Lin pointed at Wang Wei on the horse: "I think you did it yourself." ”
