Chapter 63: Liaonan Mansion

"But it's a problem of North Korean fugitives. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "North Korean fugitives? ”

Yishiha said: "In order to open up the southeast region of the Doumanjiang River, the king of Joseon kept moving people from the south of Korea to the northwest, but the people were not happy to follow, so many of the Korean people fled to our country, and many of the people of Liaodong fled from Korea. ”

"Even Yu Chen's success in planting rice in Liaodong this time is thanks to the fact that the Korean people are good at planting rice."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was first happy and said: "What does this have to do with North Korea's request for a diversion?" ”

Yisha smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please think, if North Korea truthfully reports the situation of the East Eighth Station, how should the imperial court deal with it?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said meaningfully: "Naturally, it is to send officials to rectify, the best way is to ----" Zhu Qizhen's tone paused, and said: "Move a few guards to Tuntian." ”

"There is also the construction of the Great Wall. Clearly, North Korea does not want that. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately figured out why North Korea didn't want to do this. Isn't it that North Korea annexed the lower reaches of the Douman River, and it is also the Tumen River today, but it is still not satisfied and wants to get involved in the west of the Yalu River.

Therefore, in the face of the fact that this tribute road is not easy to walk, North Korea does not want the Ming Dynasty to strengthen this area, so what it wants is to avoid this place and take other roads.

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "What a big appetite." What he thought, I didn't get as I wanted, and I lost it, I asked you, Liaodong Dusi, is it capable of running the East Eighth Station? ”

To tell the truth, Zhu Qizhen came from later generations and was a little uncomfortable with North Korea's annexation of the lower reaches of the Tumen River. But there is nothing to be done, but as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, I don't think it's a big deal at all.

In Zhu Qizhen's view, no matter what the Jurchens say, they are also the commanders of the imperial court's Jianzhou Guard, but no matter what North Korea says, it is a foreign country and an outsider.

North Korea's annexation of the Jurchens was a provocation to the Ming Dynasty.

But at that time, many people in Daming didn't think so.

They all felt that whether it was Jianzhou Wei or North Korea, they were actually foreign vassals, after all, the Jurchen Jianzhou Wei was just a name for the imperial court.

Since they are all foreign vassals, it depends on who is closer and who has more cultural identity.

At this point, it is natural that North Korea has a more cultural identity than the Jurchens, North Korea is known as Little China, and the Jurchens have never been too honest.

Although overall, it's still relatively honest now. But it doesn't mean that the Jurchens are really of the same mind as the imperial court, so the contradiction between North Korea and the Jurchens.

Many people are biased towards North Korea in their hearts.

I didn't think about the ownership of the lower reaches of the Tumen River, such as Hoeryeong in North Korea. One to think of these

Places are insignificant, and I don't feel like these places are my own.

Zhu Qizhen really wanted to quarrel with North Korea because of these places, and Yang Shiqi must be desperate to admonish him. So for the fait accompli, Zhu Qizhen could only pinch his nose and admit it.

As for the East Eighth Station, this is not the case, although it is still very deserted, but it is already under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If North Korea peeps here, not only Zhu Qizhen will not agree, but also the ministers in the imperial court will not agree.

This is why North Korea's peeping into the west bank of the Yalu River is only a peeping.

Yi Yiha said: "Cao Yinai, the chief military officer of Liaodong, is a veteran, and he is as stable as Mount Tai in Liaodong and operates the East Eight Station, which is naturally possible, but this year, the surplus grain has been transported to Beijing, so Liaodong is short of food, and I am afraid that he cannot make a big move." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I will transfer 200,000 stone of grain from Shandong to Liaodong, and the grain should be enough." ”

Yisha said: "Enough, but in this way, there is still no one left." ”

"The west bank of the Yalu River is empty, and in the opinion of the ministers, if the fields are dictated, the land of several counties can be obtained. Most of the people of Liaodong are west of Qianshan, and even if they move a guard station, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and they have to protect the post road. I'm afraid there is a shortage of manpower. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "This matter is not urgent, first move a guard station to the past, and then say, in the past few years, natural disasters have continued, I ordered Yu Qian to collect the displaced people, work for relief, this year there is still a river governance, after the completion of the river control in the future, these displaced people will naturally be placed in Tianjin Mansion, and then I will send some to Liaodong." But you have to prepare for it beforehand. ”

"How is Li Ji in Liaodong? I heard that he, the governor of Liaodong, did not do a good job? Zhu Qizhen suddenly diverted the topic and looked at it.

Yisha immediately said: "The minister is guilty. ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "What is guilty or not, this matter is a little inconsiderate to me." ”

The same province, but Yu Qian of Zhili Province has made a lot of trouble, although the three divisions of Zhili Province have not yet been perfected, that is, the Department of Administration, the Division of Rubbing, and the Division of Command, the first-level structure of this province has just been established, and the chief of the three divisions has just arrived.

Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu is the commander of the capital.

But Yu Qian did several jobs alone, even if the personnel were not in order, and various duties had just been put in place, Yu Qian had already let them operate.

However, Liaodong Province, which is also to be established, has been making slow progress, or even no progress.

Li Ji, the governor of Liaodong, was originally the governor who supervised the promotion of the imperial history. But a governor is not the same as a governor.

How to say, at least the governor at this time is not the highest governor at the provincial level, but has the meaning of Qincha, inspecting the people on behalf of the emperor.

So what power does a governor have, but he wants it

Look at the mission he undertakes.

The position of governor of Liaodong was finalized by Yang Shiqi in the first year of orthodoxy, and the military department inspected Liaodong and praised military affairs.

It's already a bit embarrassing.

I said it before.

Today's Liaodong does not have prefectures and counties, only health offices.

However, the guard post is in the system of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the chief military officer of Liaodong is responsible for the entire military affairs of Liaodong. No matter in terms of reality and historical inheritance, the chief military officer of Liaodong is the local commander of Liaodong.

And the governor of Liaodong has a Xiangzan military affairs in the name. In other words, this governor of Liaodong is different from the governors of other places, and has similar functions to supervising the army.

In addition, the eunuchs guarding Liaodong Town were also lost.

It's already a three-legged stand.

Now, Zhu Qizhen's strategy has elevated the governor of Liaodong to the rank of governor and set up a province in Liaodong, which has exacerbated the power conflict within them. This is also another reason why Zhu Qizhen wants to recall Yishiha back to Beijing.

Yisha and Cao Yi were both old Chéng Rén, and Li Ji was Yang Shiqi's person, so he also knew how to measure. The contradictions between them are limited to a certain range.

It didn't make a big fuss and affect national events, but after a long time, it's hard to say.

Zhu Qizhen explained to Yishiha: "Qing has been in Liaodong for a long time, there are some things, I don't hide them from Qing, I want to break the thorns, I must use troops in Liaodong, although Liaodong is bitter cold, but it is not a barren land." Qing went deep into Heilongjiang, naturally knew that these places can be cultivated, although there is only one season of income per year, but it is enough to support the army, once the slave is the capital division, turned into Liaodong Province, I can send a general, fake Liaodong soldiers to the west, do not have to cross the Hanhai, you can directly attack Mobei, so operated, Liaodong Africa can not be a province. ”

"So, Qing is a tribute to General Cao, since you want to move a guard to the east of Qianshan, then move Jinzhou Wei."

"The Jinzhou Wei is the capital of southern Liaoning, the capital of eastern Liaoning. It is governed by the governor. ”

"The guards are not happy to join the army, and the remaining soldiers of the guards can settle in Liaonan Mansion. As for the military affairs of Liaodong, it is still led by General Cao, and Li Ji naturally has Yang Shoufu to talk about it. ”

As soon as he heard this, he immediately knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. And he thought deeper, that is, as soon as the Liaonan Mansion was established, the lifeblood of Liaodong would be in the hands of the imperial court.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two roads to Liaodong, and the land route was naturally Shanhaiguan Road. As for the waterway, it is from Denglai to Liaonan. Although Liaodong Tuntian is now very developed, Liaodong is a military town after all, and once a war starts, the local food in Liaodong will never be enough. Naturally, it was to be transported from the rear.

And Shanhaiguan is on the edge of the capital, and now Liaonan Mansion is under the jurisdiction of civil officials. It means that he didn't dare to think too much, so he thought too much. Yizha said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely tell General Cao to let him know His Majesty's intentions." ”
