Chapter 113: After the Battle of Hercy

In the Wuying Palace.

Zhu Qizhen and Zhang Fu sat down.

Zhu Qizhen was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and the misty smoke dissipated in front of Zhu Qizhen's eyes. said: "British Duke, Jianzhou Jurchen doesn't know what to do, if the court doesn't respond, why police the descendants and punish the comers?" How did the prince teach me about this? ”

The British Duke said, "Your Majesty is very true. ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth, he had already fixed the tone, as long as the British public Zhang Fu was not a fool, he would not say a word more for the Jianzhou Jurchens.

He thinks only about execution.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, it's just that it's autumn now, and the winter in Haixi comes very early, and it will snow around October. When the time comes, the wind will enter the house, the heavens and the earth will freeze, the bow cannot be opened, and the sword cannot be drawn. I'm afraid that half of this battle will be won, and I can only give up halfway. ”

"And also lost the new funeral, although Jiao Li can stabilize the overall situation, but he is not an old minister, such things, if Jiao Li feels that there is a chance to win, he does not need to report at all, he has the right to make a decision on the spot, Haixi went to Beijing for thousands of miles, everything was reported, what battle was won."

"This shows the original intention of Jiao Li."

Zhu Qizhen didn't feel strange when he heard it. Zhu Qizhen had already seen this meaning. Even in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a deduction.

Sima Yi didn't want to fight, so what he did was to ask Luoyang for advice.

This act in itself is unnecessary.

After Zhu Qizhen realized his lack of military talent, it can be said that no matter the chief officer of that town, he has tactical autonomy.

Whether to fight or not, whether to fight or not, this power is in Beijing. Zhu Qizhen didn't speak, some small frictions are always small frictions. But as long as Zhu Qizhen makes a decision.

How to fight, Zhu Qizhen never cares. He only looks at the consequences.

"Now Liaodong Town's vitality is greatly damaged." Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't mean to speak, the British public Zhang Fu continued: "Even if there are guest troops, they may not be able to adapt to the weather in Liaodong. ”

In addition, although there is no harvest in Haixi this year, the government treasury is abundant, and a batch of grain and grass can be transported into Haixi before winter. The Jianzhou Jurchens are willing to climb the ice and lie in the snow in the wild, why should the imperial court do this extra thing, and now the situation in Haixi is in me and not in the enemy. I thought it would be in the spring of next year. ”

"Liaodong sent troops to Jianzhou Jurchen, attacked Haixi Town inside and outside, and opened up land transportation between Haixi and Liaodong. The Jurchen Department of the Absolute State is the first to raise the power of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then will the tile thorn be sent to Haixi again in the spring of the year?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "I don't think so. ”

"There is no way for the tile spur to take Haixi City this year, will he have a way to Ming Army? I thought it was unlikely. Even if the tile thorn returns, the wall is clear, the city is guarded, and then it falls. But it's the same this year. ”

"I'm not an unwise person either."

Zhu Qizhen's method to Zhang Fu couldn't find a flaw. said: "Just do it according to the will of the national government, and the inner treasury will allocate 500,000 taels of silver to reward the Liaodong army." This time, the Liaodong Army also had hard work. ”

This time, the Liaodong Army did not fight well, but it was strengthened.

Zhu Qizhen must always appease one or two.

The British Duke said, "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Guogong thinks that what is most lacking in Liaodong and Haixi? ”

The British Duke said: "Rending, the minister has also seen the recital of Haixi, a plain from the northwest of Haixi City to Xingkai Lake, which is enough for farming, even if it is ripe once a year, all of it is reclaimed, and it is enough for the army to use it for a year." With Changbai Mountain as the city and Heilongjiang as the spear, you can go straight to the city of Zhaozhou, and Liaodong is attacked on both sides, expelling the Wuliang Habu, and Funuer Gandu Division peeps into Mobei, Your Majesty is so eloquent and strategic, this strategy is similar to the strategy of breaking the right arm of the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty. ”

"It's just that the Han Dynasty has used several generations to run the Western Regions, and His Majesty's strategy is certainly wonderful, but it is not possible to achieve it quickly."

Zhu Qizhen was quite happy just now when he heard what Zhang Fu said.

He felt that in terms of specific warfare, he was probably a scumbag, but in terms of strategic vision, he was much more clever. After all, he came from the afterlife, so it can be said that he has seen a lot of things.

But hearing the back, Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart, he didn't know if Zhang Fu was patting the sycophants before, whether it was to talk about the things later.

In an agrarian society, the power of many people is the simplest truth.

After two generations of Taizu and Taizong's operation, Liaodong has more than 2 million soldiers and civilians, and more than 2 million soldiers and civilians support the current Liaodong Town, and if you want Haixi to play a strategic role in the positioning of Zhuqi Town, then the military and civilians of Haixi Town must at least be about the same as the number of people in Liaodong Town.

With just a few people in Haixi Town, what they can do is to defend more than enough and not attack enough.

Not to mention, with Changbai Mountain as the city, through the Heilongjiang waterway, haunted most of the area in the northeast, the waterway as a natural transportation route, greatly saving the preparation of logistics.

Even some tributaries of the Heilongjiang River go deep into the grasslands.

Then it is these rivers that remain frozen for months of the year, and can also establish a military presence in the steppe.

But all of this is based on the Haixi and even the entire northeast region, and there is enough population, more specifically the number of Han Chinese.

Because whether it is tuntian, transshipment, or conscription, people are needed.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Don't worry, I know what to do? I will spend a lifetime on this matter, and I will not mess around. ”

Zhu Qizhen said so.

But I have been thinking about how to solve the huge population gap in Northeast China.

Under the intervention of Zhu Qizhen, there was only one place of exile for all crimes, and that was Liaodong.

This is already the limit of what Zhu Qizhen can do within the framework of the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen once wanted to move the displaced people from all over the country to Liaodong.

But he discussed it with the cabinet for a long time and finally gave up.

There are many reasons, one is that there are no displaced people in Hebei

After all, after the completion of the Hebei Water Conservancy Project, Yu Qian was not idle. At that time, the rush was a little too nervous, and Yu Qian had been repairing these water conservancy projects.

Moreover, this water conservancy project has opened up a large amount of irrigated land.

In this way, there are not enough people in Hebei.

Therefore, the number of registered population in Hebei has been increasing over the years, and the displaced people in several northern provinces know that they want to flee the famine and go to Hebei.

Whether it's a tenant or a job.

Even if you are lucky, you can catch up with Yu Qian to divide the fields for the homeless, and you can get a few acres of land.

Therefore, the population of Hebei has been increasing. In Yu Qian's report, he believed that within a few years, Hebei Qingzhang would be over, and the population of Hebei could reach about one million households.

At the end of Hongwu, there were 334,000 households, and now decades have passed, and 1 million households have been established.

The northern refugees prefer to go to Hebei than the bitter cold land of the northeast, while the southern refugees are much less, and even if there are some, they are more afraid of going to the northeast than the northern refugees.

This is from the perspective of the psychology of the people.

If you don't think about that, you have to think about the magistrate's mind.

For every magistrate, whether clean or corrupt, they don't want the court to think that there are many homeless people here.

For capable officials, they are following Yu Qian's example, trying to find ways to settle the displaced people, increase the local household registration, and improve their own political performance.

For incompetent officials, more is better than less. Naturally, I don't want to report the number of displaced people.

Let the local force it, I am afraid that it will appear, and the local people will be sent away as displaced people.

This is a thing that greatly hurts the people's hearts.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, but finally gave up.

But only relying on the natural growth of the population, I don't know what year and month will be able to complete Zhu Qizhen's plan.

Could it be that he wants him to inherit from his son and father?

Zhu Qizhen felt a headache when he thought about it.

After Zhu Qizhen met the British duke, he asked Fan Hong beside him with a little headache: "Who should I see next?" ”

Fan Hong said: "Fujian Xibo Guoden. ”

Although Deng Maoqi was not slippery, he finally died in the hands of Guo Deng, Ye Liuzong and Deng Maoqi made chaos before and after, and Fujian was in chaos for more than a year, and finally calmed down.

Zhu Qizhen also knighted Guo Deng.

is still a liujue, after all, in the Ming military merit system, the heads of these rebels are not worth anything at all. It's good that Guo Deng can have a liujue.

Because the place where Guo Deng made contributions was in western Fujian, he sealed a western Fujian Bo.
