Volume 17 Chapter 49 The Great Migration of the Tunwei

Zhu Cijiong sat quietly in the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace alone, a little empty in his heart, and a little faintly worried, because the queen Qin Mingyue took the eldest prince Zhu Hetou to visit Qin Gongming at the station in the west of the city, this was the first time that his precious son went out of the palace, and he said that he was not worried that it was fake.

Fortunately, Queen Qin Mingyue is a master herself, and she also brought a bunch of eunuchs specially trained by Cao Huachun, accompanied by the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu, so she doesn't have to worry too much about safety, but her son leaves for the first time to go out, and he will inevitably worry about it.

Just as he was sitting there thinking nonsense, Cao Huachun bowed in and walked in, arching his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asks to see you." “

Just right, looking for something to distract himself, Zhu Cijiong sat up straight when he heard this, and said loudly: "Xuan"

He is still very satisfied with the cronies among these cronies, not to mention his strong work ability, and he also knows his own preferences, they all know that they don't like people who tend to be inflammatory, so when Qin Gongming entered Beijing, Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang, who could have gone or not, chose not to go after knowing that Qin Liangyu was going.

This is the right thing to do, if a second-class corps general leads the army to Beijing, and is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the secretary of the cabinet of the second auxiliary engineering department, and the secretary of the military department, and a large number of people go to greet him, it will be a bit too grand, not only will it delay the business, but it will also make people look at it, and it is enough to have a first-class member as a representative.

Sun Yuanhua soon came in, and after the monarch and ministers saw the salute, he took out a stack of official documents from his arms and respectfully handed them to Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong originally thought that this was the specific plan of the Army Military Academy, after all, Qin Gongming led the Liao army to escort 200,000 prisoners over, and the construction of the northwest part of the capital could start immediately, but when he took it over, it was a plan for the relocation of the guards.

In fact, Sun Yuanhua's proposal for the relocation of Tunwei was already put forward at the beginning of the year, and Zhu Cijiong also agreed very much at that time, but Sun Yuanhua has been very busy during this time, and after being busy with the allocation of grain and grass, he immediately began to be busy with the design of armored combat vehicles, and it was not until some time ago that the armored combat vehicles were designed and samples were made, and he had time to consider the plan for the relocation of Tunwei.

This plan is very detailed, at the beginning of Sun Yuanhua will be all the Ming command envoys, guards, thousands of households all listed, this item alone has more than ten pages, Zhu Cijiong is eyes are spent, so many guards, thousands of households he can't remember, can only quickly sweep over, to the end of this item, he finally saw a total statistical amount, Daming now has 42 command envoys, 351 guards, more than 2,500 thousand households, the number of military households reached a terrifying more than 2.8 million!

This seems to be more than the Hongwu period at the beginning of the Dynasty, because the total strength of the Ming Dynasty at that time was only more than 2.7 million, why is there more than 100,000, these are mainly Zheng Zhilong's subordinates who came from Chengcheng, and they are all officers and soldiers of the regular army of the Ming Navy, so it is impossible not to give them military status.

In the face of such a large number of military households, Zhu Cijiong is really big, and it takes a lot of effort to count, deploy, and transfer them one by one!

Fortunately, he doesn't need to do this thing, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War do this, and now there are only some honorary titles left in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the actual things have actually been brought together to the Ministry of War.

This time, Sun Yuanhua not only made a plan for the relocation of the guards, but also put forward standardized suggestions for the management of the local capitals, health offices, and thousands of households.

He suggested that except for Jinyiwei to keep the 17 subordinate guards unchanged, the others commanded the envoys to unify the five guards, so that the existing more than 40 provinces and Zhili Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty only needed to station more than 200 guards, and the rest could be moved to Siberia;

He also suggested that the original guard thousand households and Tusi thousand households should be merged into regular guards, and each guard would have five thousand households under its jurisdiction, so that the number of guards in the Ming Dynasty would reach nearly five hundred;

He also suggested that the drills of the guards should be restored, and that every year during the slack season, all the guards must organize their subordinates to train for a month to ensure the quality of the Ming army's troops;

These suggestions have all been put into Zhu Cijiong's heart, he naturally will not object, he even wants to stand up and pat Sun Yuanhua on the shoulder and praise it, but the most critical part of this plan, the specific plan for the relocation of Tunwei has not yet been seen, he can only patiently turn back.

According to Sun Yuanhua's previous suggestion, after the reorganization of the guards, the total number of guards in the Ming Dynasty will be close to 500, while the guards required by the provincial commanders and envoys only need more than 200, which means that the remaining more than 200 can be moved to Siberia.

Naturally, this migration can not be moved randomly, the Tunwei is not just there to rest, they have to get married and have children, and they have to farm and eat, some military households have more than ten people in the three generations of the family, so to move the Tunwei, first of all, we must solve the problem of food and shelter for them, the Tunwei has no food, you don't give them farmland, they have to starve to death.

According to Sun Yuanhua's plan, the first batch will move more than one million military households to the Siberian Plateau, and the cultivated land there is not the most important, the main is still mountains and woodlands, of course, if the cultivated land area is purely counted, it is also quite terrifying, but there is a long period of closure, only five or six months a year is suitable for farming, and the harvest can not be compared with the inland of the Ming Dynasty.

Based on this situation, Sun Yuanhua suggested that the land allocated to Tunwei should be divided into three categories, that is, arable land, grassland and forest land, and the area must be doubled.

Like cultivated land, each household is about 50 acres, and when you go to Siberia, a family with 50 acres can't eat at all, at least 100 acres, so Sun Yuanhua suggested that if the Tunwei who moved to Siberia allocates cultivated land, at least each household should be increased fivefold, and 250 acres should be allocated;

There are also grasslands and woodlands, which can only survive by breeding and hunting, and the area required is wider, for this kind of health center, Sun Yuanhua suggested that the area should be expanded at least 100 times, that is, each household should be allocated at least 500 mu, so that it is calculated that each 1,000 households will be 50,000 or 60,000 mu, less than 50 square kilometers of area, 1,000 households, 5,600 people, it is really not much.

Zhu Cijiong was naturally extremely satisfied with this plan for the relocation of the guards, and after reading it, he praised Sun Yuanhua well, and ordered Cao Huachun to immediately draw up the decree, and according to the content of Sun Yuanhua's proposal, he ordered all the provincial commanders to immediately start the reorganization, according to the requirements of the military department, and at the same time, combined with the opinions of the military households, all the redundant guards were reorganized, and they were ready to accept the dispatch of the military department and move to Siberia.

At the same time, he also issued an order to immediately send officials to Siberia to measure the land, count the population, plan the area, and set aside the valley grassland needed by the original nomads, and leave all the rest to be distributed to the tunwei.

In fact, the population of the Siberian Khanate is not large, and most of them are concentrated in the Siberian Plain, and the nomadic tribes in the Siberian Plateau have a total population of hundreds of thousands.

With the relocation of the tunwei, the permanent population structure of Siberia has undergone a fundamental change, before, the population of the entire Siberian Khanate was only more than two million, and this time the plan to move there is more than 2 million households, more than 10 million people!
