Yang Gengai threw out the news of the imminent arrival of Ryukyu grain, which shocked a lot, and changed this platform meeting that was worried about food from sorrow to surprise and surprise, and the original pressure also dissipated, and the voice in the platform became relaxed.

The happiest is Bi Ziyan, his household department may be the busiest department in the six departments, in order to prepare, dispatch food, can be described as busy day and night, so anxious that the hair is gray, in addition to food, there are other such as land transactions, such as taxes, such as household registration and immigration, etc., now I heard that the problem of food has been solved, a big stone in my heart has finally landed, the food problem is the first mention of all problems, without solving the grain, the others can not be solved.

If you want to say that the most emotional, I'm afraid it's Han Ba, there will be new grain on the market in May and June, and he will go to Beijing in early June, this kind of new grain that comes out when he is not harvested, the impact is immeasurable, it is by no means as simple as a little grain, some people outside say that he is "turning" the cabinet, saying that he will fall to the emperor at a critical moment, Han Bai is wronged, and he also has unspeakable hardships! People who don't know the inside story probably can't understand him. Han Bai looked at the emperor from time to time, and understood better why the emperor said that he had been fleeing from hell. With so many steps coming step by step, as long as you take one step short, it will be an abyss, and it will never recover. Hell has always existed, and it has not been far away from the Ming Dynasty, and now it is just the Ming Dynasty running forward two more steps. Han Bai remembered a sentence: The road is long.

If you want to say that the happiest thing is Yuan Chonghuan, he is now focused on fighting, and the last thing he wants is to affect the war because of food and other factors, and now he is the happiest to hear that the food problem has been solved.

If you want to say that the most frustrating or depressed, there is no one more than Shi Feng coming, who has been demoted from turning the tide three times to the status of a supporting role, which is always a little blocked in my heart.

After Yang Gengai threw out this news, everyone's worries about food disappeared, and this meeting continued, and this meeting was actually mainly related to the military.

"Although the problem of grain is preliminarily solved, however, this grain cannot withstand the toss, and the operation in Liaodong further north has to be reduced in scale, relying as little as possible on rear support, and trying to feed the war with war" Yang Reform said this, in fact, that is to say, less elite, more border army, emperor and so on.

"The minister understands," Yuan Chonghuan agreed, .......

"Now I have taken Tieling, Jianzhou, and further north, it should be Kaiyuan, Anle Prefecture, and further north, out of Liaodong, into the territory of the former Nuergan Dusi of our dynasty, to the north there are Yidong Hewei, Yimí Hewei, Wuye Wuwei,......, and then to the north, there are Nalin Hewei, Thorn Lu Wei ......, it is said that in this place of Wuye Wuwei, there is a tributary of the Songhuā River, which can be navigated, and it is a big boat, all the way down the river to Nuergan? If I remember correctly, when I ran Nuergan before, I also went down the Songhuā River, and if I occupied this place, I could rely on the river to go downstream, which would have a very great effect on the march and supply of the army," Yang reformed's ruler was still gesturing. In this vast area, there are only some rivers, some unfamiliar place names, very unfamiliar marks such as guards, Yang Reform knows, this place is the future Northeast, according to Yang Reform's memory, Shenyang to the north, there should be more famous cities in the middle, such as Siping, such as Changchun, and then north of Harbin. It flows down the Songhuā River, joins the Heilongjiang River, and finally flows to the Strait of Hormuz in Russia. Judging from the situation marked on the map today, the governance of the Nuergandu Division established by the Ming Dynasty is at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, which later belonged to the territory of Russia. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, it's really good, when I ran Nuergan before, it was indeed through the Songhuā River, and the Songhuā River can indeed pass through a big boat, and the minister looked at the historical records that the internal envoys and protectors of my dynasty to pacify Nuergan took a big boat and went down the Songhuā River to Nuergan, it is said that when I arrived in Nuergan, the river flowed into the sea again...... Yuan Chonghuan said, this belongs to his compulsory practice, and Yuan Chonghuan knows it very clearly.

"Yes! Since I did this when I ran Nuergan before, then, I still do it now, it is better to occupy this place this year, prepare for shipbuilding, and prepare for next year's river, then the rivers in the northeast will freeze early, and it will be difficult to do anything this year......," Yang said.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, although you can drive on the river after the freeze, it is still not as convenient as the river to transport, nor as safe as the river transportation, I think it is better to build a boat down the river...... Yuan Chonghuan also said.

"Well, that's basically what is determined, this year's goal is to lay the foundation for next year's development ...... to lay the foundation for next year's development," Yang Reform said, this year's soldiers are really not easy to be too long, the pressure of Yang Reform is already very heavy, and some of the meaning of Yang Reform is overwhelming, Yang Reform can only make conservative arrangements, and dare not fully withdraw.

"The minister understands," Yuan Chonghuan replied, .......

“…… Or the old rules of the past, people are always inseparable from water, livestock can not be separated from water, where there are water and grass to raise people, where there are rivers, there is fertile land, my Ming people, what they want is fertile land, so, the advancement of Liaodong, still to water, to the river as the basis for advancement, where there is a river, must occupy down, down the river, there must be a big river, the bigger the river, there must be more fertile land, so, out of the Liaodong officials, must explain this truth to them, know? Yang reformed and commanded. Nowadays, the production and life of human beings are still basically in a relatively primitive state, and they are inseparable from rivers at all, so Yang has always focused on water and making a fuss about rivers, whether it is immigration, marching and fighting, or occupying territory, they all regard the control of water sources as the top priority. The rain that falls from heaven will surely form ditches and streams, and streams will become small rivers, and small rivers will merge into great rivers, and great rivers will accumulate innumerable fertile land, and finally they will flow to the sea.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister ......,.........understands," Yuan Chonghuan replied, he was at a loss about how to attack Nuergan before, after listening to the emperor's plan, he had eyebrows, the Ming Dynasty did not operate there for many years, and the situation over there was a blur, but it didn't matter, as long as you occupied the most fertile land along the river, you would have everything, and you don't have to think about it, what the Ming Dynasty wanted was these fertile lands.

"Again, I talk about the matter of transportation, now the development of Liaodong, suffer or suffer in the traffic problem, if the transportation is convenient, the front line will not be so tight, Han Ge Lao, the traffic is your responsibility, the road as far as possible to cover the big city, especially this Shenyang, Tieling, Liaoyang to the Sancha River road, to repair it well, this year to open up the traffic next year is estimated to have output, the production to be shipped out, no traffic is not good, fortunately this year's disaster, a large number of victims came out to find a way to live, to work for relief to repair the road is just rightYang urged that today's transportation capacity is not lost in transportation but in the absence of roads. The meaning of Yang's reform is to occupy a place and immediately develop a place, develop a place, immediately mature a place, and after the local area is mature and has some output, then support the army to expand forward, then occupy the territory, and then develop. Only in this way can it be more reliable, otherwise, all rely on the support and transportation of the Guannei, which is too much consumption, and Yang Reform can't support it by vomiting blood, and now he is waiting for the resettlement of the victims of Liaodong, and when there is output, he will immediately support the army to expand forward. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Han Bai agreed.

"By the way, and the military department, how is the training of the people out of the customs done?" Yang Reform asked, now a large number of people are ready to go out of the customs, according to Yang Reform's vision, they all have to be able to hold guns, they all have to be able to shoot, they have to learn to protect themselves, and now they have to catch up with large-scale immigration, so many immigrants are trained in batches and batches, of course, they don't expect to be trained into any elite, just teach them to learn to shoot.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine, but the consumption is a little ......" Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly replied, this kind of training is not coincidental, and there is nothing difficult, but the consumption is very large, during the training, there is a lot of food, ammunition, this kind of thing, can only be done when immigrating, the government didn't care about these in the past, just whether you can or not, but never teach.

"Well, okay, the Qing family has bothered a lot about this matter, the place in Liaodong is not peaceful, and there are many barbarians, it is not possible to have a little self-defense ability, and it is not possible to rely on the power of the government, in short...... Don't be afraid of consumption in training, pay a little more now, and the people will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of the imperial court in the future," Yang said. What Yang Reform thinks is that the people who are released from the pass are a group of wolves who can eat people, instead of releasing a group of sheep who can only farm out of the pass, the kind of dangerous place outside the pass, there is no self-defense ability, there is no blood, how to fight with others? Yang Reform remembers that Russia has begun to expand to the East, or in a few years, he will probably be able to meet the Russians in Heilongjiang or Siberia, there is no blood, and the people of China who will not use force to protect themselves meet the Russians is a dead end.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands." Yuan Chonghuan agreed, this is a matter of money, since the emperor is not short of money, then do it.

"By the way, I remembered one thing" Yang Xuge suddenly remembered one thing.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to show me......" several people said.

"I think, from the Kaiyuan out of Liaodong, to the Wu Ye Wu Wei, to the what Thorn Lu Wei, it is too far away, there is almost no city in the middle for rest, this is not good, you look at this Liaodong, from the Sancha River to Liaoyang, to Shenyang, to Tieling, Kaiyuan, between the two cities, generally only fifty or sixty miles, more than a hundred miles, and from Kaiyuan to this what Thorn Luwei, I am afraid that there are hundreds of miles, this is not good, you have to find a place in the middle, ready to build a forward base, Liaodong fell, Without the support and support of the people, how could the imperial court alone afford to support such a huge army? Yang Reform said, Yang Reform suddenly remembered, in the future, on this land, there are several famous cities, but now there is no shadow, Yang Reform thinks, since it can form a big city in the future, there must be a foundation for becoming a big city, since there is a foundation and potential to become a big city, then why don't you "draw a few circles" in Liaodong? Perhaps a few years later, several large-scale cities will rise from the ground, which will undoubtedly have a very big effect on the control of Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, but do you want to build a post city?" ”

"Yicheng? No, I'm talking about an advance base, a base that can provide logistical support for the army, not a small post city, it must be a large-scale city, or rather, a super-large settlement......" Yang Gengai said his vision.

"Base?"

"City?"

A few people were a little surprised.

"It's about this place, maybe it's here, where is it, or wait for the generals in front to choose for themselves, be sure to choose a place suitable for living, suitable for reclamation, good climate and other conditions, and use it as a base...... Yang Gengai drew a few circles on the sand table with a ruler. …,

"Your Majesty, is this too fast? Out of Kaiyuan, into Nuergan, the road is becoming more and more difficult, Your Majesty is in a hurry, this is only afraid that it is a little difficult" Bi Ziyan said.

Yang Reform was unmoved, and what he was thinking about now in his head was "drawing a circle" and then several cities rose from the ground.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to really build such a large "base", I'm afraid it's not easy, this responsibility has already gone out of Liaodong, it's the boundary of Nuergan, if you want to build such a large "base", you have to recruit tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people to go to reclaim, so many people, if there is no army to protect them, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous" Bi Ziyan persuaded hard.

"Your Majesty, yes! Now that Liaodong has not yet been integrated, and it is not yet self-sufficient, it is better to be stable, or wait for Liaodong to be able to produce, and then move forward without eating," Han Bai also persuaded.

"Your Majesty, send tens of thousands of people to Nuergan, this food is only consumed."

"Your Majesty's idea may be good, but it should not be too violent, and it should be gradual" Several people in the platform persuaded the emperor. I don't think it's appropriate to build a city in that place in Nurkan, at least not now.

Yang reform was persuaded by several people, and began to reconsider whether his sudden whim was right, thought about it, and felt that his henchmen still made sense, this year's food is already tight, and it is not realistic to support tens of thousands of people to open Changchun or Harbin, this year's natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty have seriously affected food security, and they have this heart, but the Ming Dynasty does not have this force, and the power of the Ming Dynasty this year has reached its peak.

"That's right, that's right, according to what a few ministers said, this year is still mainly to operate Liaodong, Nuergan's side, or occupy a few forward bases, and prepare the docks and shipyards" Yang Reform thought about it, and decided to follow the advice of his ministers, and he did take it for granted. It's okay to learn from others to "draw circles", but you also have to wait for the opportunity, it's impossible to think of what to do...
