Concubine Guo Ning nodded thoughtfully, and said with a straight face: "Yes." You have to do this matter quickly, I'm afraid that the kid will his tail when he wins the battle, and he doesn't know the importance of doing things, and finally he will make a big mistake. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Concubine Guo Ning's somewhat rough left hand, with a slight evil smile in his eyes, and said, "She is worthy of being my beloved concubine, and she can always think of it with me." ”

Subsequently, Lao Zhu ordered that the imperial court decided to establish but not yet established Ganzhou Qianwei, Ganzhou Guard, Suzhou Wei, Zhenfanwei and Zhenyi all to Su to help King Su defend the territory and open up the territory.

There were more than 23,000 soldiers in the four guards, and in the autumn, they successively drove into the territory of Suguo.

With more than 20,000 soldiers, Zhu Ao's waist pole is even harder, and the next thing he has to do is to do a very important thing - digest the conquered areas.

Zhu Ao would never be like the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, to exercise restraint rule over these places, this method is both costly and unflattering, he wants to completely digest these conquered areas.

First of all, Zhu set up a guard post in the area of Yumen Pass, where the Chijin Mongol Ministry was located, and in the area of Guazhou, where the Handong Mongols were located, to strengthen the connection between Zhangye and Dunhuang.

After the position stabilized, Zhu Ao announced that all the people of the Western Domain would be incorporated into his large farm as a farmer, and those who did not want to go could pay a certain amount of money and property to be exempted. In order to replenish the troops, he also stipulated that one person from every ten households should be selected to serve as a soldier, and the expenses such as bows, horses, sabers and guns should be borne by these ten families.

The Western Domain people were also organized according to the Baojia system, but the Baochang, Dubaochang, and Jiachang had to be served by Han Chinese to facilitate supervision. The Zhuang Ding who worked on the big farm was also organized according to the ten-person team and the hundred-person team formulated by Zhu Ao, and the reward and punishment system was the same as that of the Han Zhuang Ding, the purpose of which was to motivate them to work hard. The main managers of the newly established farms in these areas of the Western Domain were also Han Chinese, also for the convenience of supervision.

Zhu Ao was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and knew that the Manchus ruled the Han people in the occupied areas in this way. It is ironic that these ruled Han people were reluctant to live or die at first, crying for their fathers and mothers, and Wu Guisan and others led the Guanning army to save them, but later they gradually became masters from slaves and began to support the Qing Dynasty, and when Wu Sangui rebelled, these people also made a lot of efforts to fight Wu Sangui.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, whose population was much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty, used this method to conquer the whole of China, and Zhu Ao used this method to rule the ethnic minorities, which was even more secure.

Second, Zhu's method of digesting these conquered areas was to intermarry, and the ethnic minorities were very afraid of intermarrying with the Han people after they entered the Central Plains, because they knew that there were too many Han Chinese, and if they intermarried freely, they would be in danger of being assimilated.

Zhu Ao did the opposite, encouraging multi-ethnic marriage, because the population of the Han people was much larger than that of the ethnic minorities, and in those conquered areas, the status of the Han people was very lofty, and the least fortunate was a Jiachang, who occupied a lot of resources. There is a way that water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, and this principle is applicable to both modern and ancient people.

Therefore, once intermarriage is encouraged, minority women will be proud to marry Han people, and Han women generally do not marry minority men, and a Han person can even marry many minority wives and concubines, so that the children they give birth to in the patrilineal society will naturally become Han Chinese, and over time these people will naturally be assimilated by the Han people.

Since the bumper harvest of Suguo, hundreds of people have migrated to Suguo every day to pan for gold, and Zhu Ao, who lacks population, is naturally very welcoming to them. Zhu also encouraged those who had already come to Suguo to mobilize their relatives and friends to come and settle down and buy a house, and if you can mobilize ten families, then appoint you as the first chief, and if you can mobilize a hundred families, then appoint you as the chief of security.

With the encouragement of this policy, many people have entrusted people to give their families a little letter, talk about the bright prospects in Suzhou, and encourage their relatives and friends to come to get rid of poverty and become well-off, so that the population of Suzhou is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye every day.

Zhu Ao fully respects their personal wishes, and is willing to give Zhu Ao as a farmer, compared with the previous treatment, will not deduct arrears, and is willing to do it himself, Zhu Ao also let them reclaim the land. Due to the very generous treatment given to Zhu Aogan, most small families choose to work for Zhu Ao. There are also some big landlords and businessmen who are optimistic about the prospects of Su Guo and have specially come to invest in Su Guo to enclose land, and Zhu Ao also respects their personal interests, and all kinds of procedures are as simple as possible, never making things difficult, and encouraging them to bring a large amount of capital, labor, production tools, and technology to Su Guo.

In this way, by the end of the 26th year of Hongwu, the number of households in Suguo had reached more than 500,000, and the population under Zhu Ao's control had reached 900,000, nearly one million, with the addition of the previous military households and prisoners, as well as the population of the newly conquered Western Domain and the newly built military households of the later Weisu.

That's what a king looks like.

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Zhu Ao, who lived in the palace of the great king of Zhangye City, received a report from Qu Neng. Qu Neng said in the report: "The three Mongol tribes of Anding, Quxian, and Aduan, located in the southwest of Dunhuang, which were originally attached to the Hami Kingdom, still refused to give in, and wanted His Highness to appoint their tribal leaders as the command of the Wei Institute to replace them hereditarily and continue to rule the original tribes. Otherwise, they surrendered to the Uighurs. ”

Zhu Ao completely lost patience with these three tribes, and immediately instructed Qu Neng's recital: "Immediately send troops to attack, the leader and his descendants are all beheaded, the wives and daughters are matched with soldiers, and the obtained population is all compiled into farm slaves." ”

Since you are shameless, then don't blame this king for being ruthless, the tribesmen who surrendered before can still be left as pawns, and they will be slaves.

As for their nonsense about surrendering to the Uighurs, Zhu Ao didn't bother to believe it, and the Uighurs' power was mainly in northern Xinjiang, that is, at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. The only way to get from Gansu to northern Xinjiang is through Hami, or else you have to cross the towering Tianshan Mountains, which was almost impossible to do in the era of cold weapons, so even if the Uighurs wanted to support them, they would not be able to reach them. Because Hami will not let them borrow the Tao no matter what, the story of the false way is very widespread.

These three tribes invaded the territory of Su first, and now they are all defeated, and they still want to cut off their dominance, Zhu Hao decided to use their blood sacrifice knives to set an example for those who have thoughts of wrongdoing.
