Chapter 167: Zhendong and Fudong (Page 1/1)

Lu Qin said: "It's good that the white pole soldiers are good at fighting, but they can't compare to the guards." “

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The Guards have strong firepower, but in the southwest, if the enemy hides and plays hide and seek with you, I am afraid that you still have to rely on white pole soldiers." The last time we were able to quickly quell the rebellion, it was because they underestimated us and adopted a hard-hitting approach. If they had developed guerrilla tactics, it would have been difficult for us to achieve victory in such a short period of time. “

Lu Qin thought for a moment and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if the rebels really burrow into the woods, then we will have to grind with them for a longer time. It's just that of course the generals of the Qin family can't be loyal uncles, if it's Qin Yiming or Qin Gongming, there is no problem, these two ministers have dealt with them, and they are all real people. However, if Ma Xianglin was the commander, the minister was not very familiar with it, and he was worried that he would not be able to cooperate with the guards. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I have named Ma Xianglin as a hussar general, he can be civil and martial, and he is kind, don't worry about getting along with him." The loyal uncle is a man of great wisdom, so he will naturally make proper arrangements. ”

Lu Qin saw that the emperor was confident, and his heart was a little relieved. And Yang Guanggao didn't worry about the problem of Guangxi wolf soldiers at all, because he had more than a dozen family members in his family, it turned out to be Guangxi wolf soldiers, when he came to Beijing as a guest ten years ago, because of Mu Wanghua, he was given the eldest princess's mansion by the first emperor, and he just brought them with him, first, to comfort their homesickness, and second, to help him collect the heart of the wolf soldiers.

As for Man Gui, the emperor has already helped him think of a way, the main deal in the northwest is the Mongols, the emperor has named Hai Lanzhu as the eldest princess of the pearl, and let her go to the northwest with Man Gui, although Hai Lanzhu is a Horqin people, and the territory of the Horqin people is near the Xing'an Mountains, but everyone is a Mongolian, more or less incense, and the Mongolians will always treat Man Gui, the Mongolian son-in-law, differently.

The second is the issue of the abolition of the original health center. Most of the guards of the Northern Military Region and the Northwest Military Region have been abolished under the joint operation of Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chuanting, but the guards of the Southwest and Southern Military Regions have hardly been touched, and even Zhu Youxiao has no choice but to transfer manpower from Dongchang and Mianyiwei to join these two military regions to carry out the work of dismantling and rebuilding together.

The first to set off was Cao Wenzhao, who led a brigade of guards to reach the city of Nurkan by sea on ships of the North Sea Fleet. At the same time, the geography students of the graduate school sailed up the Liao River, where they were to investigate the waters of the Liao and Songhua rivers and find a better way to transport them, so that the interior could be connected to the city of Nuergan without having to go through the North Sea.

Zhou Tongjin was very happy about the arrival of the Ming army. The accompanying eunuch read out the holy decree, and the emperor officially appointed Zhou Tongjin as the commander of Nuergandu, and his eldest son as the Jinyi Wei Baihu, and allowed him to enter the capital to study (this is Zhou Tongjin's own insistence). The Nurgan Prefecture may form a force of less than 10,000 people to be responsible for the defense and security of the Nurgan Division.

His Majesty of the Emperor aimed to implement a tax rate of 1 in 10 for the Nurgan Division, of which half of the collected taxes were at the disposal of the Nurgan Prefecture and half were transported to the capital by the Eastern Military Region.

Such a tax rate is considered high in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, but under the deterrence of Zhou Tongjin's 6,000 elite horsemen, the tax collection work is very smooth. As for the taxes transported to the capital by the Eastern Military Region, the emperor directly drew them to the Eastern Military Region as military funds, of course, this is not enough, but it is better than nothing.

Cao Wenzhao's Eastern Military Region General's Mansion was temporarily set up in Nuergan City, and the original guards were restored one by one. The troops he brought were too small, and it would take some time for the field army to arrive, so Zhou Tongjin volunteered to lend him the Daur army under his command.

Nine years before Xuande, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Nuergan was not direct rule, but only the establishment of military bases and the development of communication routes in important places, in essence, it was still ruled by the various ethnic groups themselves, and except for a few officials, most of the officers and military personnel were held by the local ethnic people. This time, Zhu Youxiao also hit this idea, so after Cao Wenzhao made a wish, the guards of all ethnic groups in various places were restored one by one. In each health center, Cao Wenzhao only put a flag to play a supervisory role.

After the Ming army came up with fine silver coins and beautiful silk, the heads of various ethnic groups quickly provided a large amount of labor for the Ming army. Under the command of craftsmen accompanying the Ming army, Cao Wenzhao established a new city on the east bank more than 100 miles from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River: Zhendong City. This city echoes the city of Nurkan and will be the headquarters of the Eastern Military District.

At the same time, in the original Tunhewei, a new Fudong City was also established, which was about 800 miles away from the Zhendong City, and was located in the center of each guard. This will be the station of the field army of the Eastern Military District.

Five months later, the field army of the Eastern Military Region, led by Zhang Zongling, arrived in Fudong City. They did not swim upriver from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, but, according to the guidance of geography students, first went upriver from the Liao River, then traveled by land of less than 100 miles, and then boarded a boat on the Mingtong River (Songhua River) and went down the river into the Heilongjiang River, and then arrived at Fudong City, which greatly shortened the distance from the interior to Nurgan City, and was of great significance to both the supply of food and salaries to the Eastern Military Region and the commercial exchanges between the interior and Nurgan City.

Sure enough, the opening of this road was soon taken advantage of by Wei Zhongxian, and several merchant ships carrying thick robes and blankets woven of soap, candles, iron pots, cigarettes, spirits, cotton cloth, and wool came to the Heilongjiang Valley.

Wei Zhongxian ordered the establishment of three large agricultural cooperatives in Zhendongcheng, Fudongcheng, and Nuergancheng, and the prices of the items were three times that of the mainland, but all the items, including woolen products that almost no one in the mainland would buy, were swept away as soon as they were put on the shelves. The three big shopkeepers were happy and anxious, and hurriedly sent a message asking for more ships to be sent and more goods to be transported. And it is necessary to send more people, because the leather products here are unimaginably cheap, and it is at least ten times more profitable to change hands to the capital.

After Wei Zhongxian received Nuergan's request, he hurriedly went to the emperor to discuss. Zhu Youxiao said: "What, you want to build a canal to connect the Liao River and the Tongtong River?" It's a bit hard, isn't it? ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Saint, only by water transportation can the cost be reduced to the greatest extent, if water transportation is not successful, then a railway can be built between the two places, otherwise it will be too expensive to transport by horse-drawn carriage." ”

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time and said: "The Jingshan Railway has just been in trial operation for two months, according to the profit margin they sent, it will take ten years to recover the cost, the railway is indeed greater than the cost of water transportation, but I don't know if I can build a canal, this has to ask the students of the research institute." ”
