"That's not what the minister meant, what the minister means is that now is not the time to think about the matter of Leng Zhou, the minister thinks that the matter of these eleven feudal divisions must be dealt with first, and the connection between these eleven feudal divisions and the empire is far closer than that of Leng Zhou, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will leave a curse." Sun Chengzong said.

"Your Majesty, Burma, Yangon Province, businessmen have bought a lot of land, the immigration of these two provinces, the businessmen themselves will find a way to solve, and according to the report of the two provinces, the effect is not bad, it is expected that the population of these two provinces will exceed 500,000 within next year, Jilin, Heilongjiang Province, with His Majesty's new immigration policy, the minister believes that once His Majesty's policy is put in place, the population of these two provinces will also exceed 500,000, but Qinghai is different, Qinghai is now a land of a hundred battles, and it is extremely desolate, Immigration alone will not solve the problem and should not be considered for the time being. Wen Tiren said.

"What Wen Aiqing said is very much in line with my intentions, and in addition, Huguang Province is one of the granaries of the empire, with a large population, and I have decided that Huguang is divided into two political envoys, Hunan and Hubei, which is convenient for governance." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"King Xin and Liu Youfu have been overseas for several years, and I have decided to let King Xin be transferred to Jilin as governor, Liu Youfu to Heilongjiang as governor, Qi Zanyuan as governor of Lengzhou, Gong Yonggu as governor of Qinghai, and Luzon no longer have the post of governor." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

"Your Majesty, the minister is very old, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take up the position of governor again, so please tell the old man to return to his hometown." Xiong Tingbi said.

"Governor Xiong is eighty-eight out of sixty this year, right?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Exactly." Xiong Tingbi said respectfully.

"Governor Xiong has served the country for many years, and this time he has returned to his hometown, although I have the intention to keep it, but considering that Governor Xiong is indeed very old, I am right. Passed the decree, added Xiong Tingbi as the Taifu, rewarded a thousand taels of silver, and a big red python on the table. Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Xiong Tingbi said respectfully.

"The position of the Metropolitan Governor is high and powerful, and it cannot be vacant for a day, so I decided to let Qin Liangyu serve as the Metropolitan Governor, Zhao Shujiao as the Governor of Chengdu, and Man Gui as the Governor of Lanzhou." Zhu Youxiao made an order.

"Your Majesty, Qin Liangyu is a woman's body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Li Changgeng said.

"The Governor of Qin is brave and loyal, and has made contributions to the country several times, and there is no problem in serving as the Metropolitan Governor." Zhu Youxiao retorted.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the position of the governor of the Metropolitan Mansion is also high and powerful, and it should be rotated every five years to avoid the situation of supporting the army and respecting himself." Sun Chengzong suggested.

"I also have such thoughts, and my teacher's suggestion is accurate." Zhu Youxiao nodded.

……

After Yuan Chonghuan received the holy decree from the imperial court, he immediately prepared to escort Huang Taiji and others to Beijing.

"Governor Zhao, Huang Taiji and other thief chieftains will bother you to be escorted to the Beijing Division, and I will continue to lead the troops to recover the rest of Nu'er Gandusi." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Yuan Dudu is polite, it is my duty to escort Huang Taiji and others to Beijing." Zhao Shujiao said politely.

"After the army of the Governor of Beijing and the Governor of Jinan withdrew, there will only be 100,000 troops in Liaodong, and the Nuer Gandu Division will be thousands of miles away, and the troops will be a little insufficient to recover such a vast place!" Yuan Chonghuan sighed.

"Governor Yuan, I suggest that the north temporarily focus on defense, and focus on recovering the east and west first." Zhao Shujiao said.

"Why?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"I have heard that Your Majesty will set up two new divisions of Jilin and Heilongjiang, and at the same time prepare to emigrate hundreds of thousands of people into the two provinces, and there will be 300,000 active military personnel among these immigrants." Zhao Shujiao said.

"With 300,000 troops, I will definitely be able to drive Jianyu to the barren land of the North Sea." Yuan Chonghuan said happily.

"You'll soon receive orders from the Grand Governor's Office." Zhao Shujiao said.

……

The Governor's Office of the Beijing Metropolitan Government took the lead in implementing the order to retire soldiers who had served for more than five years, and all officers were subject to the principle of voluntary retirement, while all soldiers who had families who had served for more than five years were subject to compulsory retirement.

"Company Commander Li, do you have any plans this time?"

"I'm ready to retire, I'm old and young, I can't be promoted if I want to, I can't be a soldier for a lifetime, this time taking advantage of the good policy of the imperial court, I decided to simply retire." Company Commander Li said.

"I heard that the company commander can divide 250 acres of good land, and the captain can share 200 acres of good land, is it true?"

"Chief Lin Qi, this imperial court has issued a holy decree, there will definitely be no mistake, and it can be tax-exempt for three years, but the land is in northern Liaoning." Company Commander Li said.

"I also read the military order, and even read the "Ming Imperial Daily", the newspaper said that the land in northern Liaobei is extremely fertile, known as 'one or two soil and two oil', I know all this, but Liaobei has just been decided, and there are still a large number of remnants of Jianyu in Liaobei, I am afraid that I will have my life to go, and I will not have my life to return!" Lin Qichang said.

"You coward, you can be regarded as a person who participated in the Battle of Shenyang, why are you so cowardly?" Company Commander Li said disdainfully.

"Company commander, I also think about retiring because of the old and the young, otherwise I wouldn't have retired." Lin Qichang said helplessly.

"It will be okay this time, I heard from the people above, all the retired soldiers of our Jingshi Governor's Mansion will form a new army, and then collectively drive to Liaobei, and then divide the land after arriving in Liaobei, and then everyone's land will be connected together. And this retirement, in addition to firearms, cold weapons are allowed to be carried, so many of us can't do the remnants of the Jianjiao, so it's better to die early. Company Commander Li said.

"It's so good, it's so good, forty percent of our people have served for more than five years, and when the time comes, everyone will be together and live together, and it's easy to say anything." Lin Qichang said happily.

"You coward, hurry up and make arrangements, before the end of August, this matter will be completed, and then you will have to make room for the recruits." Company Commander Li said.

"Okay, make sure you get the job done." Lin Qichang said.

……

Zhu Youxiao's policy toward the army is extremely popular, and more than eighty percent of the soldiers within the scope of this policy support Zhu Youxiao's policy, and all of them have experienced at least one major war, and they have all seen the cruelty of war, and no one wants to live a life like this with their heads in their hands, and there are more than 90,000 retired soldiers from the Guangjing Division's Governor's Office.

The four prefectures of Jingshi, Jinan, Yingtian, and Guangzhou completed the task of emigrating 300,000 soldiers, while Chengdu, Luzon, Shenyang, and Xi'an even revoked the order immediately after issuing the order.

"People have a mind!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, "But now is not the time to think, and my great cause has not yet been completed." ”
