Chapter 43 Haixi Business

Yishaha has seen the land situation in Haixi, and he knows that the biggest problem in Haixi is the lack of people.

Therefore, these Jurchen populations are very important to Hercynian Dusi. If you want to make the Jurchen manpower and material resources available to the Ming Dynasty, you must deeply manage the Jurchen tribe.

We can't just leave the sand like this anymore.

But here's the problem.

The Jurchens are unreasonable, speak. It's just that the truth they talk about is not the Great Ming Law, but their own truth, how many men and horses you have, how many knives and guns.

That's right.

So if you want them to be obedient, you have to let them know the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

These Jurchen tribes have seen the almost inexhaustible grain of the Ming Dynasty, and they know that the natural Ming Dynasty is powerful, and they dare not resist hard, but they can resist softly.

Therefore, anyone who wants to mediate the conflict is either highly respected or very capable of fighting, and only when the people in the tribe are subdued, can people listen to what they say.

Shi Heng is indeed very suitable for this job.

Shi Heng is a person who is thick and fine, he first beat the tribes again, and suddenly had the title of the number one master in Haixi, and then drank wine and ate meat with these Jurchens, and in a few words, the matter was solved.

So much so that Shi Heng's reputation is so great that even Yizha knows it. 、

In the Hercynian Prefecture.

"Ahem, ahem." Yisha coughed violently twice and said, "It seems that Your Majesty's vision is indeed good. ”

Shi Jing looked at Yishiha, and a worry came up in his heart, because Yishiha was old.

Before this point, it was not bad, it seemed that Yizha would always be old and strong, but now I have to admit one thing, that is, Yizha is an old man of the Taizong Dynasty after all.

The years are unforgiving.

"Father-in-law, take care of yourself." Shi Jing said: "Now the good situation in Haixi is indispensable for your father-in-law to be at the helm. ”

Yizha said: "Isn't General Jiao here?" I'm relieved to have him here. ”

Cao Yi's Jiao Li has a very good effect in Phoenix Wei Tuntian, and this time the position of the Haixi Metropolitan Division is Jiao Li. However, Jiao Li has just arrived, and in many things, he has lost his ears.

After all, Yishiha is one of the three giants in Liaodong, and Cao Yi can't completely ignore Yishaha's opinion, let alone Jiao Li.

Yizha said: "Now that North Korea has promised to borrow grain and grass, the sea grain route has been opened, even if there is a shortage, it can also be borrowed from North Korea temporarily, and we have no worries about the back road in the west of the strait, but the lack of soldiers and horses is still the biggest problem." ”

Shi Jing sighed and said, "There is no way to do this. Liaodong was originally vast and sparsely populated. First to relocate the people, can only move from the Guannei, and now Hebei to build water conservancy, use a lot of work, I don't know how many displaced people have settled in Hebei. Where would you like to come here. ”

If you press the population density of the Ming Dynasty

After all, in the rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, although there were major wars in the south, in general, they were not as good as the continuous wars in the north. In the north, except for a few prefectures and counties in Shanxi and Shandong, they are all barren.

Then there was the Battle of Jingjing.

It is even more of a blow to population growth. Liaodong itself is an immigration area, Taizu and Taizong all immigrated to Liaodong, and Liaodong has the current population.

If Haixi wants to migrate people from Liaodong, don't even think about it.

Therefore, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Haixi, and among these more than 10,000 people, there are more than 5,000 people, who are Haixiwei who moved from Liaodong as a whole.

However, the new Dingliao Right Guard is in the process of being formed.

The rest are the soldiers recruited from among the people close to the people, such as Mao Lianwei. Yisha is ready to build another guard. Or simply changed Mao Lianwei from Tusi to the imperial court's guard.

But even then, it still doesn't work.

The population base directly controlled by the Hercynian Metropolitan Division is not good, and if you want to have enough soldiers, it is simply not possible.

Today, the strength of the Haixi Capital Division may not be as strong as Li Manzhu.

Yizha said: "So, if we want to expand our troops, we have to find another way, Shi Heng has done a good job, I intend to use Shi Heng as a general, transfer Jurchen strong men, and recruit a team." ”

The idea of also losing Ha is not only for the sake of having more soldiers and horses in hand, but also in political considerations, the relationship between the tribes and the Ming is not close enough, if the warriors of the tribes are recruited into the army, once the tile thorns come over, these Jurchen tribes dare not say that they must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at least they will not easily betray the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it will also weaken Li Manzhu's control over the Jurchen tribe.

Shi Jing said: "Father-in-law, it's just that Shi Heng is only a hundred households now, can he take on such a heavy responsibility?" ”

Yisha said: "There is no urgency. And Fancha. Also counted. ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard someone outside: "Shi Baihu asks to see." ”

Yizha said: "That's exactly Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, let him in." ”

After a while, Shi Heng came in in and said, "Father-in-law, donkey, I heard a news, and I have already prepared to go east. ”

Yisha Ha suddenly frowned and said, "Where did you get this news?" ”

Shi Heng said: "Xiaguan ran to Tunhewei, and Tunhewei had a conflict with Uliangha, but saw that Uliangha suddenly withdrew his troops, and the minister wanted to come and go, and only by coming east first, for this reason, could Uliangha suddenly withdraw his troops." ”

Yisha is very proficient in the geography of Nuer Gandusi, and as soon as he heard about Tunhewei, he knew where Shi Heng had gone.

Zhu Qizhen's demarcation of the Haixi Capital Division is east of Changbai Mountain and south of Heilongjiang. It's so big, but it's also missing

The place where Ha operated, that is, the port of Haixiwei, and the nearby Jurchen tribe.

Strictly speaking, there is no strict demarcation between the Nuer Gandu Division and the Haixi Capital Division, not to mention that the imperial court does not have a single rogue official in the Nuer Gandu Division.

Therefore, many problems of the Jurchen tribe were also sent to Haixi to deal with.

After all, compared to Liaoyang, Haixi is much closer to these tribes.

For some things, Shi Heng was sent to mediate, Shi Heng has been running outside, and sometimes Haixiwei can't touch Shi Heng's figure here, which is also a common thing.

It's just that he never expected that Shi Heng ran to Tunhewei.

Where is Tunhewei? At the foot of the Little Khing'an Mountains.

However, this is not the time to pay attention to this, and Yisha muttered for a moment and said, "This is not enough to show that he has already returned from the west first. ”

The contradiction between Wuliangha and Tunhewei is also known.

There is nothing else, it is just that Uliangha has lost a lot on the side of the imperial court, and he has recovered it from these small tribes. But these tribes are not vegetarians either.

In particular, Cao Yi sent troops to the battle of Uliangha, although he did not touch a single Mao of Uliangha, and the battle was called Chengguo Gong, but Cao Yi's expedition was not without effect.

At least the guards near the Songhua River were united under the banner of the Ming Dynasty again, although there was no merit, but Cao Yi was still open to the market.

These guards have all benefited from the Ming Dynasty, at least in terms of weapons.

So the Uliangha attacked the Jurchen tribe.

These local tribes have united to contend with Uliangha, and both sides are afraid of each other, and Uliangha has already broken his spirits. I don't want to suffer too many casualties, and these guards have more than the Uliangha people combined, but they have their own ghosts. I want the help of Daming's father.

But Daming's money is also money.

These guards were a little too far away from the imperial court, and the cost of maintaining a military presence would be too high. If it weren't for the opening of the sea route, which greatly reduced the cost, the existence of the Haixi Capital Division would be enough for the imperial court finance to drink a pot. If you just give weapons, who knows if these wall grasses will turn their guns and hit the court.

So Da Ming is just giving some verbal benefits.

This time, Wuliangha suddenly withdrew his troops, and Yizha also felt that it was very likely that he would return to Mobei first. Gave Uliangha some promises.

But judging by this alone, it is a little too thin.

Shi Heng said: "Xiaguan really can't guess what caused Wu Liangha to suddenly withdraw from the army. ”

Yizha said: "There may be a lot, such as who died suddenly." If you want to understand, you can explore again. ”

Shi Heng was overjoyed, with the words Yishiha, he didn't have to sneak to listen to the news of Wuliangha, he was provoked by Zhu Qizhen, and now what he has been thinking about is to make meritorious contributions, not to be a messenger to Yishaha.

"Yes." Shi Heng said.
