Suddenly, there were many more people to join him, which was originally a good thing that could not be sought, but the Ming Dynasty knew that its strength was not enough to give strong protection to these people, and its specialty was to hide behind the city wall and kill people with geographical advantages. This specialty of the Ming army can only protect people from farming, not from grazing, because the pasture needed for grazing under the premise of feeding the same number of people is much wider than the field for growing grain, so we have to think of a new way. The Karaqin Ministry itself said that it was willing to use the inside of the border wall as a fixed home, and the grassland and mountains outside the border wall as pasture, which made the Ming Dynasty have some suggestions.

The condition of the Ming Dynasty's attachment to the Karaqin people was that they were not allowed to go out without permission after entering the border wall, otherwise they would be crushed as a rebellion, which was out of the idea of completely changing the previous situation. In the past, Duoyan Sanwei gave them too much freedom, so these people were always estranged from the Ming Dynasty, and they always felt that they were Mongols and belonged to the second class in the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming court requires that if you come in, you are not allowed to go out without permission, that is, the Mongolians who have come over are to work with the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that they know that the court is equal and does not discriminate, who knows or does not take into account the problem of grazing.

According to the first idea, the young and strong were drawn from the two Mongols of Duoyan and Karaqin to form an army, and then went north with the Ming army to guard to the west, starting from the mouth of the two rivers to Daning, and if the conditions were ripe, they could also cross the Xilamulun River to the north until the ♀ bottom of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the arrangement was to stick to the mountains and defend to the east, because the steppe in the east was a nomadic territory of the Nekhalkha and Korqin people who belonged to the Jurchens, and it was guaranteed that one day the Jurchens would take them to attack westward. It is bounded by Nurul Tiger Mountain and the original territories of the Ao Han and Naiman tribes, which is convenient for guarding.

This idea seems good but not operational, because the best defense in the steppe is to attack, which requires a cavalry that dares to fight the Jurchens. The Karaqin people also have cavalry, but they are here to accept protection rather than to fight, and besides, their strength is limited and they can't resist the Jurchens, so why should they come to accept protection if they really have that strength?

Some people also suggested that Daning City should be reinforced, and by the way, a side wall should be built from the mouth of the two rivers, and it would be more than 300 miles to ask more people to grit their teeth and work hard to repair it, the problem is that Daning is not a dangerous place, even if you work hard to build it, the Jurchens can completely bypass the north of Daning, and if you can't stop people, the side wall will be repaired in vain. Besides, there is a Lin Dan Khan in the west, he may not think about it one day and will go home to visit relatives, and when he sees a side wall blocking him, he will definitely tear down and open the way, so there is no need to repair the side wall that is not easy to block on both sides.

In this case, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Jizhou, first arranged for these people to graze in the vacant place in the side wall, and he had to find a livelihood for others first, after all, not everyone likes to farm where the living habits are placed. In order to avoid conflicts between the new Karaqin people and the original people, Lu Xiangsheng also sent troops to protect the guard, and Wang Huazhen immediately went to Beijing to ask for help after a little pacification.

After Wang Huazhen returned to Beijing, he first went to the Government Council to explain the situation and ask for support, at this time, Zhu Yanxi and Ye Xianggao had already gone to the Holy Academy to write books for the elderly because they were seventy years old, and only Han Yi and Liu Yixian and the two new ministers were handling government affairs. Han Yi told Wang Huazhen that Jizhou belongs to the military control area and is not under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Yuan, whether it is repairing the border wall or reinforcing Daning City, it is necessary for the Military Affairs Yuan to discuss the writing, and they can only help, but it is only an allocation in terms of money and will not send people, at most they will give some suggestions on the specifications of the side wall.

As soon as Wang Huazhen told Sun Chengzong in the Military Affairs Yuan about his special situation, Sun Chengzong also readily asked him to go to Gao Di immediately, because Gao Di was the overseer of the Beijing Military Region, and he should be in charge of this matter, and after Gao Di came up with an idea, the Military Affairs Yuan would discuss whether it was feasible□ Huazhen thought that it was understandable that the people in the Government Affairs Yuan would push back and push, because they have a tradition of shirking responsibility, and the Military Affairs Yuan is now divided into such a detailed division of labor, if the solution to the problem is also a drag on the wind, it will be meaningless to abolish the separation of military affairs and government affairs of the cabinet, but he did not express his dissatisfaction, just patted his head and said that he didn't know and turned his head to find Gao Di.

After Gao Di saw Wang Huazhen, he immediately inquired about the situation, and heard Wang Huazhen say that he was now temporarily arranging the Karaqin people in the side wall, and was also preparing to arrange extra people to Liaoxi, Gao Di said "wait a while" and left. Although Gao Di's surname is Gao, he has no high opinions, he only knows that Wang Huazhen's arrangement is inappropriate, and it is not for him to be the master, because there are people in the border wall and in the western Liaoning region, and placing people in it for a long time will hide trouble. Gao Di went to Sun Chengzong to discuss what to do, but Sun Chengzong had no choice, so he was ready to let the ministers of military aircraft come together to discuss, and by the way, he asked someone to call Ni Yuanlu from Lianghekou and Lu Xiangsheng from Jizhou back.

Ni Yuanlu is the supervisor of the Beijing Military Region, and Lu Xiangsheng is the chief soldier of the Beijing Military Region, so it is necessary for them to give their opinions, because using the army to monitor these people is the last option, and to let them have a bottom in their hearts‖, Ni Yuanlu and Lu Xiangsheng have both stayed in the Military Staff Department of the Military Affairs Yuan, and listening to their ideas may not be a little new, and young people are sometimes more creative than old people. Knowing that he was going to find Ni Yuanlu and others to come back, Gao Di came back and informed Wang Huazhen to wait two days before talking, saying that he would wait for two days later when everyone arrived for a meeting to decide.

Wang Huazhen didn't know why Gao Di couldn't call the shots, and he didn't know why he could only hold a meeting two days later to discuss, but he became interested in Gao Di's two sentences. When he returned home, Wang Huazhen was thinking that Gao Dujun's two sentences were very reasonable, these two sentences were "I'll talk about it in a while" and "I'll talk about it in two days", if everyone in the world said this, there would be fewer incidents and troubles in the world, the people would listlessly and lazily farm, the soldiers would stand guard against the wall with half-squinted eyes, the businessmen would not shout loudly to do business, and the officials would have to live and live, everyone would rest after half a day, and there might be no disputes in the world.

Sun Chengzong actually didn't want to delay, he also missed the days when he was resolute and resolute, just because Wang Zaijin came back, he had to do things in a proper manner so as not to be talked about. Early in the morning of the third day, the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Military Affairs Yuan held a meeting under the chairmanship of Sun Chengzong, which was also attended by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Jizhou, Lu Xiangsheng and Ni Yuanlu. Ni Yuanlu now seemed very confident, and when he saw Wang Zaijin, he was not the same as before, but generously greeted him and the other ministers of military aircraft, which made Sun Chengzong feel very pleased.

Wang Zaijin saw Ni Yuanlu saluting him, nodded and said: "Originally, the day before yesterday, we were going to discuss what Lord Wang Huazhen said, Lord Sun said that we should listen to the opinions of you young people, and now we are waiting for Lord Ni to come up with advice, what is the best way for Lord Ni?" ”

Ni Yuanlu looked at Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing big about it, since Lord Wang Zaijin has brought it up, Yuanlu, you can talk about it, you and Lord Lu have the most say in the front." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Yes, but I still have to ask Lord Wang for advice on this matter." ”

Wang Zaijin asked, "Let you say why did you ask me about it?" ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "I was thinking about this on the road, my Ming Dynasty and the Mongols are now bounded by the border wall and the Daling River, and most of the farmland and pastures of the original people are within this boundary, and the western Liaoning region east of Shanhaiguan is the emperor's imperial village, which is the transaction between the household and the emperor back then, and we can't occupy it privately." In order to arrange for the Karaqin people to develop northward, and at the same time our army must also advance northward to occupy certain points, so as to protect them and monitor them, which requires our army to win the battle without the protection of the Great Wall, at least not to collapse at the touch of a button, and to resist a few days of evacuation. ”

Wang Zaijin said: "My Bohai Naval Region is mostly in Hehe, and it is still far away from the grassland in the north, so it can't help you. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Lord Wang can help, and it is Lord Wang who can help with this." Our troops did not have the protection of the Great Wall on the grassland, and the warships of the Bohai Naval Region did not have the protection of the Great Wall in Dahe, so there was no protection of the Great Wall. ”

Wang Zaijin thought for a while and said: "So that's the case, but I may have to disappoint Lord Ni, although Mao Wenlong of the Bohai Naval Region is not protected by the Great Wall, he is protected by the sea, because their enemy Jurchens have no warships. It turned out that the Japanese who were rampant in Hehe for a while have not been seen in the past few decades, so our sailors have no enemies in Dahe, and are mainly organizing fishing to alleviate the crisis of food shortage. But it is Lord Ni's other mentor, Yuan Keli, Lord Yuan's Southeast Military Region, they are now fighting against the foreign devils who occupy Taiwan, you can ask him how to deal with the enemy without the protection of the Great Wall. ”

Seeing Wang Zaijin mention himself, Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "Dahe does not rely on strong defense to fight the enemy, and the best defense is to attack. Saying that we were fighting against the foreign devils was to promote us, but after I took office, I only fought a tentative battle with the foreign devils, and as a result, we lost several ships, but fortunately, there were not many of them and they did not continue to pursue, otherwise our losses would have been even greater. The main reason I came to Beijing this time was to ask the Bohai Naval Region how to miniaturize the artillery, and if we can achieve the miniaturization of the cannon, we can also fight with the foreign devils. ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "When the student was in Lianghekou, he received a letter from Sun Yuanhua Sun in Dengzhou, he said that he tried to find a way to make the cannon smaller from the material, and we didn't solve it now, did the foreign devil solve it?" How could their cannons get on board? ”

Yuan Keli said: "Their ship is very large and sturdy, and it can be directly loaded with cannons, and the power of our small cannons is too small to be able to penetrate the armor outside their ships, so it becomes a situation where we can only be beaten but unable to hit people, so I think if the cannons can be miniaturized, the appearance and weight are small but the power is not small, so that we can have a hard fight." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "Since the strength is not as good as the teacher, why do you want to attack tentatively? ”

Yuan Keli said: "The ancients said that 'the courage of the soldier is also', the lack of ability can be made up, but it is also necessary to increase the courage, if you don't practice more, even if you have a good ship and a good gun, you don't have the confidence to fight with people, as long as you pay attention to reducing casualties." ”
