| The vast grasslands and rich pasture in Hulunbuir provide natural conditions for the development of livestock farming,which is a natural grazing area with abundant quantity and variety of livestock and livestock products.Japan’s livestock development environment is the opposite of Hulunbuir’s,with a small amount of land and a large population,while livestock relies on the development of agriculture.Livestock resources naturally became one of the important resources plundered by Japan’s invasion of Hulunbuir region.After the Russo-Japanese War,Japan accelerated its comprehensive survey of China to provide concrete directions and plans for waging war on the one hand,and to provide important reference bases for resource development and plunder on the other.While investigating the livestock industry in Hulunbuir,the export of livestock and livestock products was expanded or the improvement and multiplication of major livestock breeds was intensified.After the September 18 Incident,Japan occupied the northeast and eastern Inner Mongolia by waging a war,and was not satisfied with that.Through the collusion of the Mongolian upper nobility,it was incorporated into the rule of "Manchukuo" and set up Xing’an North Province for colonial rule.After the establishment of the rule,Japan attached great importance to the improvement of livestock and livestock products in the Hulunbuir region,and believed that the improvement potential of the Hulunbuir region was huge,implementing epidemic prevention measures,improving pasture,and setting up various types of livestock farms to improve and increase livestock in the Hulunbuir region,while the essence of the pseudo-Manchukuo livestock improvement was only to achieve the source of" The essence of the pseudo-Manchukuo livestock improvement is only to achieve the purpose of "increasing production" and scavenging from the source,but not the sincere development of animal husbandry in Hulunbuir.In addition to the improvement of animal husbandry,the Japanese unification of animal husbandry is the most important part of the policy of economic unification of Hulunbuir region.Hinganbei Province,with Hulunbuir as its territory,was the core province of animal husbandry in Hingan Province and the main supplier of livestock and livestock products to Japan.Therefore,after the establishment of the pseudo-Manchukuo,it promulgated livestock laws and regulations,controlled the circulation of livestock and livestock products,formulated livestock development plans,and "released" cattle and sheep to realize the unification of livestock industry in the Hulunbuir region,and realized the maximum plunder of livestock products in the process of circulation to supplement military needs.Japan’s policies and measures on animal husbandry in the Hulunbeier region had colonial attributes from the very beginning of their implementation,and Japan combined the development of animal husbandry with the needs of war and prioritized strategic resources,making it again warlike in character.This warlike and colonial plundering of resources by Japan has caused the livestock industry in Hulunbuir to suffer badly and the farmers and herdsmen to have a difficult life during the 14 years of colonial rule by the pseudo-Manchukuo,which is totally against the objective law of livestock development and the living capacity of herdsmen,thus revealing the essence of Japan’s colonial plundering of the Hulunbuir region. |
