The pace of the inspection will not stop, and then came to Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture, compared to the mountains and rivers in Shanxi Prefecture, surrounded by mountains, basins one by one, like a string of pearls, Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture is mountains and mountains, large basins are connected to large basins, the terrain is relatively high, and there are many open places, the land is more than Shanxi Prefecture and a lot more fertile, the people who can be raised are all fierce, war horses and pack horses, herding horses galloping, a feeling of steaming upward.

The southerners who immigrated here, have adapted to the life here, when farming, but also with some hunting, horse herding, exploring the Gobi Desert Beach, Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture in Daming has repeatedly suffered great disasters, the chaotic people swarm, the people are not living, thousands of miles of red land, but the Han people are relatively tenacious, even so still survived a lot of people, these people were later called the soldiers and herdsmen of the princes of all walks of life, with the stability of the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese army for a period of time, the population has grown and recovered some vitality, plus Wu Sangui Although he is a traitor, It is also necessary to say that traitors and corrupt officials are all capable people, and there is no mediocre person, and this kind of person still knows how to govern the locality, and it is still much stronger than some people in later generations who only understand the code of some civil servants and office politics.

The place they governed was very good before the Ming Dynasty and the Kingdom of China, in the era of agricultural economy, they fed a lot of people, otherwise Wu Sangui would not have insisted on it for so many years, it was a stupid thing to do when he dried up and fished, he would not do it like this, his kung fu to raise people was more powerful than the civil servants of later generations, and in less than a few years, Wu Sangui had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and a population of millions.

It's just that Wu Sangui chose the wrong path, his ambitions were too heavy, and he wavered, so in the end Zhang Qiang did not accept him, and he also became the dust in history, leaving a reputation as a traitor.

It is precisely with Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui that the Great Qing Kingdom can take over the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it is also a Jin man, a powerful alien force like the Western Xia and Liao States that can only occupy the marginal areas.

With the passage of time, the population of Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture plus Mongolian herdsmen was only 5 million, and later 2 million were immigrated to the south or overseas islands, southerners went to the north, and northerners went to the south, which was the policy set by the Chinese Empire, the purpose was to speed up the integration of the Chinese nation through population flow, break the regional habits, and avoid the appearance of the kind of old Jiang who went to the treasure island in later generations, and was considered to be from other provinces, not locals, and who were the people of the treasure island at that time?

The Japanese who have been naturalized by the Han or indigenous people who have been ruled by the Japanese for fifty years, the non-recalcitrant people who learn Japanese and sing Hokkien songs in their mouths, Lao Jiang and the mainland are China's internal contradictions, but it must not be said that the treasure island is not Chinese, you are xenophobic and nothing, but if you zoom in to the national level, then you can only say that you are not Chinese, so how can Lao Jiang not be able to integrate with these local treasure island people who are actually Japanese, and the ruling foundation is not solid, It also hinders the great cause of peaceful return to the mainland in the future, so we must speed up ethnic integration, so that everyone can identify themselves as Chinese Han people, and there can be no local aborigines to sit on the big side, stubborn xenophobia, population movement has weakened the local indigenous power to a certain extent, but some local aborigines must be retained.

Because in many places, outsiders have to rely on the local people to teach them in the agricultural time, living habits, and various geographical and favorable environments, for example, some are only more than ten miles apart, but the agricultural time is different, the climate in one place is a few degrees colder than the other place, and if you can't plant crops a few days later than another place, then your crops will be almost white this season, and you will suffer heavy losses.

After 30 and 40 years of hard work, the Chinese Empire successfully weakened the local indigenous power in various regions, and the population flow accelerated the national integration, and no one had much strength, everyone had to start over, so everyone was cautious and happy, and after a long time, everyone became acquainted, and there were not so many things, everyone was a local person.

In such a period of time, no one's strength was enough to gather against the Chinese Empire, so the rule of the Chinese Empire was stable, and after a long time, everyone recognized the rule of the Chinese Empire and became Chinese.

Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture is also like this, the southerners came to learn to herd horses, learned the life skills of the north, after seven or eight years of development, it has become a stable state again, the year before last the Chinese Empire set this as the core area, vigorously supported, vigorously built, opened a lot of private schools, county schools, government schools, state schools, so that those scholars have a way out.

As soon as these few articles were done, the population and various items in Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture increased exponentially, and the population grew to 8 million in the first year with the arrival of immigrants from the south, and with the arrival of 2 million immigrants from Shanxi Prefecture, it was 10 million people, and as some retired soldiers of the garrison brigade of the Great Army took root in the local area, the population grew to 12 million.

As a forward logistics camp to support the battle in the Western Regions, the people and prisoners from all over the country, the garrison, the wounded soldiers withdrawn from the front, and the replacement of soldiers and horses, the population here once skyrocketed to 40 million people, some prisoners stayed after serving in the prisoner camp, became the local population, filled the gaps in various places, some people also communicated with the local population, and also stayed, their families also immigrated over, the merchants arrived, and the rise of local merchants made Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture with the initiation and end of this battle, It has become prosperous, and so far, the army has moved forward or withdrawn, and the population of Shaanxi and Gansu Prefecture has now dropped to 31 million people.

A few days ago, two million people immigrated to Mongolia to build cities and control the steppes.

The population has dropped to 29 million, and some people will be immigrated in order to control the grasslands and the Western Regions in the future, but as the land of China and the core area, Zhang Qiang will also immigrate the excess population here from other places to keep the population from not falling to 25 million people, which is a last resort, because there must be such a large population here in order to have sufficient troops to support the Western Regions and Mongolia, as well as the control of the east and south of the Ural Mountains in the future, and the population in those places cannot be too large, because they cannot afford to raise it. Huaxia occupies this place, in fact, it is a radius of thousands of miles, the most suitable place for planting economy, the country of small farmers grows, before the arrival of commerce and capital, can only feed so many people, the whole of China can feed more people, but those marginal areas, Siberia due to the limitation of climate and geographical conditions, is not able to feed too many people, Shaanxi, Gansu, Mongolia, Hebei Prefecture, Northeast are all for the future to continue to send population to these regions, long-term occupation is prepared.

The population that went before was only clearing the wasteland, and the population behind was occupying.

Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture has a good harvest this year, at least it can feed more than 20 million people, and with the grain delivered from the south behind, it can feed the army that goes out on the expedition.
