Chapter 427: Dealing with the difficulties in Shandong, and fighting the autumn wind incident at the border pass!
I saw that there are still many hometown fathers and elders in Shandong, living in the dire misery of the old society. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhu Zilong urgently gave birth to a strong idea that he wanted to completely control the situation in Shandong 100%, and let his orders and prohibit it in every place here, and work together.
However, if you want to achieve this idea, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy.
It's just that it's not difficult, as long as the emperor's clone can take out even the risk of fighting for the instability of the throne, and if he goes alone, he can delegate power to Zhu Zilong's body, this idea can be realized at a very fast speed.
However, shaking the emperor's foundation for the sake of a province does not seem to be a business of calculation.
So, it's not easy to say.
Then, if you think about it, you can only take the route of saving the country with a curve.
For this time, when he returned to the fiefdom mansion, Haosheng combined with Zhu Zilong, who knew about it, thought about it for a few days and nights, and deliberately asked some confidants and close people. A few words from the last few strategists inspired him!
The difficulties of controlling Shandong Province 100%, in addition to the emperor's side, there are three difficulties without external calls.
First, the princes of the Zhu family in Shandong will never cooperate with themselves.
Second, those people in the thousand-year-old Confucian Mansion in Shandong will not cooperate with them.
Third, with the above two forces, the powerful landlords who are attached to them will not cooperate with them. Even ghosts!
Then, the emperor is his own doppelganger, and sooner or later he can think of a way and wait for the opportunity.
In this way, the real difficulty is to remove the unstable factors in Shandong, in addition to the feedback of the people below.
It's just that to deal with the princes of the Zhu family in Shandong, do you want to let Jinyiwei do it like the last time you dealt with a few sin kings?
However, dealing with all the princes in Shandong at one time, it seems that this movement is too big.
Judging from the current situation, there are more than a dozen princes in the Lu royal family who have taken root here in Shandong and have lived for many generations.
Of course, the number of children under these princes is even greater, after all, in the late Ming Dynasty, there are only nearly one million members of the royal family in the country.
Shandong, named after the east of Taihang Mountain, referred to as "Lu", the provincial capital of Jinan. In the pre-Qin period, it belonged to the Qi State and the Lu State, so it was nicknamed Qilu. The longest part of the territory is about 420 kilometers from north to south, and the widest is about 700 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of 158,000 square kilometers.
158,000 square kilometers (km2) = 237,000,000 acres of land.
The princes of Shandong only accounted for about 20-30% of the land in private industry, that is, they owned about 40 to 50 million mu of land.
Zhu Zilong couldn't help but calculate that all his current fiefdoms and the land he secretly occupied only owned about one million acres of land. Compare the tens of millions of acres of other people, and immediately feel really TM's kindness.
In addition, the family of Confucius has been passed down for thousands of years, and only about 10% of the fields in the whole of Shandong belong to them. It's still tax-free!
This is about 20 million acres of land, and Zhu Zilong already wants to scold.
Counting the local tyrants who occupy fertile land, only a small number of them occupy about 25% of the land, which is about 30 or 40 million mu of land.
This is really more popular than people!
Of course, the above data should be discounted because the land in some places is not suitable for farming, and some places are rivers and forests, etc., but in the calculation, the above three parties account for a total of millions of mu or more than 20 million mu of land in Shandong, which is definitely the same.
As a result, many Ming people in Shandong either have no land to use, or they have to pay high rents for farming, and they can't survive because they are tired and tired. As soon as a natural disaster arrives, they immediately become homeless.
It's not enough to just have a fiefdom like a paradise, and the fields are not enough!
Here, Zhu Zilong was thinking.
Suddenly, a few days later, news came from the border gate.
On November 27, thousands of miles of frozen snowflakes flew in the land of Liaodong, and the Houjin Soldiers' camp emitted curling smoke, but there was a depression within three miles outside the city of Dalinghe.
Houjin divided part of the army, and Jingran started the idea of harvesting grain in Liaodong in the autumn.
And the reason for this is that because Zhu Zilong's Zhu family army burned more than a quarter of their autumn grain in the rear of Houjin, they had to come out to grab a little bit and go back to replenish it.
By the way, some Houjin generals were so excited that they simply surrounded the defenders of the Ming army in Daling River.
I have to say that Zu Dashou, who reached a cooperation intention with Zhu Zilong. In the face of Houjin's attack, this time the performance should be said to be good, and he continued to send troops to engage in skirmishes with Jiannu.
During this period, through the counterattack and guerrilla warfare of defending the city, more than 500 Jin soldiers were killed and wounded, and dozens of people were killed.
The food in the city was enough to eat until March and April, but what broke Zu Dashou was that he didn't prepare much firewood to put in the city. Hou Jin came too suddenly, he dug a pit and buried himself himself.
This kind of small mistake that will only be made in a few years later in history, he has now made it in advance.
And, because he killed and injured more than 500 Houjin soldiers, Houjin's side was also angry, and he was really angry. He simply called many of his brothers over and besieged his city.
The winter in eastern Liaoning is very cold, and now when winter comes, there is no firewood to cook and keep warm, which has a serious impact on the military and civilians of the whole city. The morale in the city was originally high because of this small problem!
Wu Xiang and Song Wei of Jinzhou sent troops to support, however, this was of little use.
The result of the battle of field support was that hundreds of Houjin soldiers chased more than 3,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry in turn, which was really drunk, how could the gap between people be so big?
The border soldiers, who have received a salary of several million to nearly 10 million taels of silver from the state a year, have trained such a parallel army, what a cheat!
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who was no longer convinced, could only ask for the court's support.
Zhu Zilong, who learned the information, directly threw the letter paper into the fire and burned it.
Support?
Support a fart!
As soon as TM came, less than 20,000 or 30,000 Houjin troops came, and they shouted to the court to support. You have nearly 100,000 people in your border army, okay?
Moreover, the food in the city alone was stored for more than three or four months, and the houses were demolished for cooking without firewood. It's really not necessary, on this cold day, the rations for a few days can be cooked at one time, and it is also possible to eat cold rice every day. Anyway, you can't starve to death!
Well, you may say, why is Zhu Zilong so calm?
Of course, he calmed down, and his little eagle brother flew back from that side. The content of the bird language report given is that the Houjin army did not dispatch at all.
The Houjin people are all grabbing the autumn grain, as well as the grain from the tuntian near the ancestral longevity city. This is to grab food, and then it will run, and it will not attack the city at all, support a yarn!
He, Zhu Jiajun, burned down a quarter of the autumn grain fields on the Houjin side, and snatched the extra grain and grass back to Shandong.
Storming Shanhaiguan, Houjin has no time or time now, so he is going to fight the autumn wind, grab the grain near Shanhaiguan, and replenish himself.
Huang Taiji had just subdued many Mongolian tribes, but the rear had people burn the grain, and all localities had to harvest the local ripe autumn grain. As long as it's not a pig, no one will attack Daming in a big way when it's almost the New Year!
Moreover, don't think that Zhu Zilong doesn't know the situation.
His ancestor was on his birthday, and some people in his family had already had some disobedience.
For example, he has relatives at home who secretly took refuge in Houjin. Don't think that the people of Jinyiwei don't know at all!
That's just why Zhu Zilong didn't deal with Zu Dashou and his relatives now.
The first is that the ancestor of the border pass is still a useful person, and the second is that his relatives defected to the enemy, but he did not defect to the enemy, and he was still serious about fighting against Houjin in his behavior. Now is not the time to settle the ledger after the fall!
Well, the other root cause is that its acquiesced relatives defecting to the enemy is nothing more than the family's instinct to bet on both sides.
Guan Ningjun has Liao salary and land, and Zu Dashou himself has a large number of fields and tens of thousands of tenants in Ningyuan, and he is the emperor of Liaodong.
He will not surrender to the enemy until the last resort.
Barely works! So just pay attention, but don't worry too much!
