When the news of the arrival of the Chinese army came, Jiaqing woke up from the night, and the nightmare that kept him awake for years finally happened.

After this incident, Jiaqing felt that it didn't seem to be so terrible, he started to do things with a clear look, convened the ministers of civil and military affairs, and then saw the eager demeanor of the group of young officials he promoted, Jiaqing suddenly had confidence, as if in the era of his ancestor Taizu (Nurhachi), he learned that the Ming army of 170,000 people came to crusade, and the Manchurians were not afraid, maybe he could also create miracles like Taizu!

After calming down, Jiaqing suddenly found that the comparison of his strength with Da Zhou now was much smaller than that between Nurhachi and Da Ming back then, and there was no reason what the ancestors could do, and he was still afraid.

Jiaqing was a little glad that Zhou Lang gave him too much time, if Jiaqing was in the seventh year, he sent a partial division to chase closely, Jiaqing would not be able to gain a foothold in Yili, if in the ninth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Lang took advantage of the opportunity of the great victory over the Qing Russian coalition army and the expulsion of the Qing forces from the outer Mongolia, and sent a large army into Yili, Jiaqing would also collapse.

But now it is the sixteenth year of Jiaqing, and Zhou Lang gave Jiaqing ten years to gain a foothold in Yili, so he rebuilt order in the chaos and soothed the people's hearts in panic.

In the past ten years, except for the first two or three years, Jiaqing has been busy dealing with the chaotic situation, and he has been steadily recovering for the next seven or eight years.

Not only did he rebuild the system and resume production, but he also increased the number of people.

I don't know what the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty thought, and he didn't stop the children of the banner people from coming to Jiaqing, or even the remnants who longed for the Qing Dynasty from coming to defect. Jiaqing recruited talents everywhere, and there were not many ministers who followed him to Ili at that time, but they were all old ministers like Zhu Qi, such courtiers, often protégés and old officials all over the world, and the change of dynasty, there were too many unsatisfactory scholars, and these people all missed the Qing Dynasty.

So Jiaqing continued to ask his courtiers to write letters to recruit the old department, and a large number of scholars poured into Yili, providing fresh blood for Jiaqing's hard work.

In addition to scholars, Jiaqing also spared no expense to hire craftsmen, and a large number of poor craftsmen came to Ili from Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi, and even from Beijing and Tianjin, along with the caravan from Mongolia to Yili. With these craftsmen, the scale of the government-run workshops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued to expand, and with the reclamation of the Ili famine, they were able to supply themselves even with cotton cloth and sell it to the Russians.

Even ordinary Ding Zhuang Jiaqing also tried to recruit them, as long as the poor people from all over the country were willing to come, Jiaqing would give them flags and give them a share of land, and the scale of reclamation in Ili was getting bigger and bigger. The per capita population has reached 2 million, half of which are Han Baqi.

These bannermen are generally young, and there are 800,000 Dingkou who can participate in the war, and almost all the people can be soldiers except for women and children.

The middle and lower levels have fully restored the Eight Banners system, and Jiaqing believes that his current strength is stronger than that of Taizong (Huang Taiji), and even stronger than Taizu (Nurhachi).

After the Eight Banners system returned to its heyday, it continued to develop.

A large number of scholars came to Yili, and Jiaqing reorganized six parts. A situation has been formed in which flag officials are in charge of flag affairs and six ministries are in charge of government affairs. Even with the arrival of a large number of eunuchs, his internal affairs office is more like the internal affairs office of the past.

Politics has formed a level of high and low matching, compared to the Taizong era, the six ministries have their appearance, and the princes of the banners compete for power and profit, and now the six ministries of Jiaqing are real power departments. Due to more than 100 years of sinicization, the prince of the banner people has long accepted the jurisdiction of the six-ministry system, believing that this is the imperial court system. Moreover, because it was rebuilt in a rout, Ili did not have a prince with real power, and all the banners were officials appointed by the emperor, not the princes of the past. At present, the emperor manages the money and grain of each banner through six ministries, appoints and dismisses the officials of each banner, forming a state of centralization of power by the emperor from top to bottom.

Different from the six-part system of the Central Plains, the six departments of the Eight Banners are the management bodies established on the Eight Banners, and they are an authority between the emperor and the Eight Banners, connecting the imperial power and the people below; All the flag officials are not civil officials from the imperial examination, but Niu Lu Ezhen and Gushan Ezhen, who are civil and military. These flag officials are not only in charge of production, but also in charge of wars, and also in charge of household registration, and one official is used for multiple purposes.

Just like the rural autonomy of the Central Plains, the squires are used to firmly fix the people on the land, and Jiaqing uses these flag officials to firmly fix the flag people on the land, and the local squires can organize the people to open up wasteland, build roads, organize the villagers to defend themselves, and suppress bandits, and these flag officials can also.

Through comparison, Jiaqing does not feel that the system he created is a complete imitation of his ancestors, but the product of combining with the system of the Central Plains, which makes him feel that it is not barbaric, and he believes that this is one with the Central Plains system.

Due to the development of production, political stability, and the growth of people, the civil officials under the rule of Jiaqing even began to sing the praises of the prosperous era again, saying that Jiaqing has been prosperous! The generals have always wanted to use troops against the Central Plains and compete with the Great Zhou for the world.

What should I do if I just lose?

In the past few years, Jiaqing has still gritted his teeth and sent people to Kunlun Nuguo, although he has understood through other channels, Delentai said to him that the situation in Kunlun Nu is not as good as he said, although Kunlun Nu is not strong, but it is thousands of miles away, and it takes many people's lives because of the water and soil. Of the first group of people who went with Delentai, only more than 200 of the 3,000 people survived, and there was no more than one out of ten!

But Delentai did not tell the dead man's situation, but said that where the land was fertile and there were many cattle and sheep. This made Jiaqing have a different heart for Delentai, but he quickly understood, he believed that Delentai had no objection, but where Delentai was too bitter, so he wanted Jiaqing's support, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, avoided the important and trivialized, avoided the problem of the dead, and exaggerated the benefits. Jiaqing thought that he was a benevolent person, so he forgave Delentai and continued to send people to open up. He needs to leave a way back for his ancestors.

Jiaqing himself also sent his henchmen to Kunlun Nu country, or his most trusted eunuch, these people continue to send back the real situation through the merchants of the Great Zhou, Jiaqing confirmed that there have been fewer dead people in recent years, everyone is used to where the water and soil, and the land developed has become more, because Jiaqing sent more and more immigrants, and they also began to catch Kunlun slaves to make coatings, help them farm, and now the most basic leaders have a certain number of coat slaves, there are also a large number of farms, and even ordinary flag people with good individual conditions also have coating, Detached from labor.

The mobilization of the Eight Banners system was very fast, because the officials received from Niu Lu Zuo to the Six Shangshu, which was a linear structure. In particular, these grassroots officials are set up, so that there is one official for ten households, and this assistant leader is in charge of the field book, household registration and other information, which is basically impossible to hide, Jiaqing ordered that all the eighteen to twenty-year-old Dingkou should be armed as auxiliaries, and there are also soldiers who are out of production in each banner, and these do not even need to be gathered, because they have been stationed in the capital division of Yili City.

Under some mobilization, the total strength of Jiaqing reached 300,000, including 100,000 full-time soldiers and 200,000 auxiliary soldiers, all equipped with Russian-made rifles, and drove to the front line.
