Chapter 312: Man Gui
After more than 200 years of time grinding, the machine of the Ming Dynasty has become old, and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have no enterprising spirit, just thinking about holding on to the defects, and being able to mix for a day is a day.
Since the outbreak of the war on the grassland, there has been a strong cry in the imperial court, and everyone thinks that Zhang Ke is provoking the war without authorization and dragging down the imperial court, and should be severely punished, and all the tuntian fields outside the Great Wall should be removed.
There are many people who hold this kind of argument, but the celebrant has no choice but to stand on Zhang Ke's side and detain all the twists and turns. Moreover, the Donglin Party has learned from the past, and everyone does not dare to fight to the death with Zhang Ke rashly.
But after the victory, the dust settled, and the voice rose again.
Thousands of miles of grassland, immigrants are still not enough millions, there are no three years, no harvest of grain, during which people eat horses, army food, people's rations, city roads, the cost of the cost, astronomical. Now that the household is empty, it is impossible to take out such millions of expenses, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era.
The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia went to war, containing a large number of troops, once the Liaodong emptiness, Jiannu took the opportunity to enter the Kou, if Guangning, Shanhaiguan and other places are lost, then the capital is shaken, the capital is unstable, then the world is uneasy, and there are priorities. The commander-in-chief Zhang Ke is blindly reckless and greedy for fame, and if such martial artists are not controlled, the disaster will not be far away......
Apocalypse has been emperor for almost two years. He also has his own views on the government and politics, although Zhu Guozuo's rhetoric is not good, but the truth is not bad......
On the other side of the dragon book case, there is also a recital, which was written by Zhang Ke, which details Zhang Ke's complete set of strategies for disposing of the grassland, which depicts a different scene.
"Zhang Daban, what do you think?"
Tianqi asked about the head of Zhang Ye, the master of ceremonies, and when it came to doing things, Wei Zhongxian acted resolutely. Hard work and hard work, won the trust of the apocalypse.
But Lao Wei never took a step higher, won the throne of the palm print, and became the first person in the inner court, Zhang Ye's methods can be seen. After years of experience, he has a clear understanding of the military, government affairs, and all the big and small things in the palace. Especially the intellectual vision, far above the illiterate Wei Zhongxian, Tianqi often likes to consult Zhang Ye's opinion.
"Master, the old slave has carefully read the statements of both sides. Mr. Zhu is old and seeks the country, and Zhang Shaobao is determined to forge ahead, and they are all pillars of the imperial court! ”
"Don't play with your tongue, I'm going to listen to who's right and who's wrong. Don't pass the buck! ”
"Yes, the old slave thought that Zhang Shaobao's twists and turns had already given the answer. For example, the first article says that the Mongolian steppe has not been pacified in the past two hundred years, and Zhang Shaobao argues that it is completely different from a hundred years ago. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Master, this is the thing!"
Zhang Ye waved his hand, and the little eunuch hurriedly held the gold-painted tray and sent a piece of woolen wool. Apocalypse took it and looked at it, it was very soft and thick.
"Master, this thing is called wool, and it is woven from wool. Zhang Shaobao built a woolen workshop, purchased wool from the grassland, and relied on the profits of commerce and trade to eliminate the wildness of the Mongols little by little, so that they could settle down and concentrate on raising sheep instead of robbing, so that the grassland was not worried! ”
Apocalypse took the woollen wool, played with it repeatedly in his hand, and asked thoughtfully: "Companion, if the Mongols have a livelihood, can they not make trouble?" ”
"This ...... Cang Liao knows etiquette, sheep can live well, why rob it! Of course, there may also be stubborn people, with Zhang Shaobao's means, they should be able to suppress it! ”
Apocalypse nodded, and he picked up the paper cutter on the side and made several strokes on the wool, causing the wool to fly. The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were all startled, could it be that His Majesty was crazy with joy?
"Hahaha, I also pondered the spinning wheel a few days ago, since wool spinning is so important, I have to make a state-of-the-art spinning wheel for Zhang Ke!"
Dare to love is an occupational disease, and Zhang Ye is also speechless.
Counting the emperors of the old Zhu family, they are quite pursuing, not to mention, Zhengde put the emperor inappropriately, ran to be a general, Jiajing has been cultivating Jiao alchemy for decades, and has done the old way, and then Longqing is lustful, but his son Wanli is a seed of infatuation, and when he arrives at the apocalypse, he is obsessed with the chisel axe and saw, and if there is any strange emperor in the future, he will not be surprised......
"Companion, Elder Zhu Ge also said two things, how did Zhang Shaobao deal with it?"
"Long live the master, Zhang Shaobao proposed a set of immigration strategies, which cost very little every year, and the old slave couldn't help but be amazed."
Zhang Ke had long known that the imperial court couldn't come up with much money, so he carefully set up an immigration plan, not only did not lose money, but on the contrary, he might be able to make money.
First of all, the future of the wool industry is bright, and buying from the Mongols alone cannot meet the needs of the future, so it is necessary to raise sheep in enclosures.
Divide the cultivated grasslands into patches of pastures and sell them publicly. Merchants who wanted the grassland bought grain from the interior, or simply set aside a reclamation area in the grassland to produce grain.
With the income from the sale of land, you can recruit people and build cities and beacons. In addition, there are salt lakes, iron mines, and coal mines in the grasslands, all of which can be sold at a marked price.
According to the most conservative estimates, within three years, at least five million taels of income can be exchanged, and with this silver, it will not be a problem to settle the immigrants and reorganize the army.
What the imperial court needs to do is to come up with a start-up fund of 500,000 taels to help recruit people from the disaster-stricken provinces and send them to the grassland to settle down......
It doesn't cost much money to get a large piece of land, and tens of thousands of more elite soldiers can be added out of thin air, this business is really cost-effective. Apocalypse took Zhang Ke's recital, consulted it with Zhang Ye, and chewed the plan thoroughly, and Apocalypse couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhang Yongzhen is really a genius in the world, with his assistance, why worry about the Ming Dynasty and not being prosperous!"
was suddenly promoted to the status of a famous minister in Zhongxing, Zhang Ye didn't dare to say anything casually, for fear of backfire.
"Master, Zhang Shaobao also mentioned that to avoid fighting on two fronts, it should be Mengzhimeng."
"What are I going to do about this?"
"In the tartars, fry the flowers. The Wuliang Habu is all focused on the imperial court, which can allow them to divide the north and south, carve up the eastern part of the grassland, and quickly swallow all the Hai tribes, the Wuban tribes, and the Karaqin tribes, as for the most powerful Tumut tribes, they captured their Khan King Galtu, Zhang Shaobao has sent Galtu to the capital overnight, and he mentioned that the saint should not kill Galtu, but reward him and leave him in the capital. Then provoked his son and brother to fight, and Tumut naturally collapsed without a fight. ”
Zhang Ye said with a smile: "As long as this is the case, Liaodong, Jizhen, Zhangjiakou, and Xuanda will all be exempted from the suffering of Tartar poisoning, and there will be military spending on the nine sides." Moreover, pushing the battle line forward can also prevent Jiannu from bypassing Liaodong and sneaking up on the Beijing Division. It's a win-win-win-win ”
When Apocalypse heard this, he was finally moved.
Since the loss of Liaoshen, some people have successively proposed to strengthen the defense of the Beijing division to avoid the sneak attack of Jiannu.
Apocalypse is a twist. Let the Manchu ministers discuss and come up with a strategy, but as a result, these people are noisy and shouting, and there is no useful idea at all.
On the contrary, Zhang Ke, who was far away from the gate, fought a shocking battle without making a sound. Push the Great Wall forward a thousand miles!
The Son of Heaven guards the country and talks majesticly, but he runs to the front line to block the muzzle, and whoever tries it knows what it tastes like. Now Zhang Ke is tantamount to adding a super wide line of defense to the apocalypse, protecting Jingshi and him.
Such a loyal minister, how can he not be rewarded!
"Zhang Daban, how do you say to reward Zhang Ke? I thought that such a great achievement must be knighted! ”
When Zhang Ke sent the recital, he communicated with Zhang Ye guòqi, the height is not cold, he is not very old, it is best to press it, give him time to recuperate, lay a solid foundation, and don't climb too high.
Zhang Ye also thought so, if he really knighted Zhang Ke according to what the Apocalypse said, he would immediately lead the troops to the front line to fight against Jiannu, obviously for the Yizhou soldiers who fought in successive wars, it was no less than a catastrophe!
"Master, now that the overall situation of Mongolia has not been decided, Zhang Shaobao is not competent. If he is suddenly knighted, someone will inevitably recall Lord Zhang, or transfer Lord Zhang to Xiping Fort and other places, so that Lord Zhang's talent will be buried. According to the old slave, it is best to let Lord Zhang stay in the grassland for two or three years, and train thirty or fifty thousand elite soldiers. ”
Zhang Ye said a few words, just to the heart of the apocalypse, which young man is not looking forward to making meritorious contributions, just by expanding the land for thousands of miles, he can stride forward to face the ancestors and ancestors, how can he let go lightly.
"Well, I can only wronged Zhang Ke first, and send someone to sue him, as long as the grass principle is smooth, I will enter him as Taibao! Be my henchman, a model of getting along with kings and ministers! ”
……
On the vast snowy field, a group of men and horses is moving rapidly from south to north.
"My lord, the wind has blown through the bones, let's rest!"
The big man who ran at the front was extremely majestic, with a full beard, like a legendary bearded guest. Hearing the soldier's complaint, he was so angry that he grabbed his crooked beard and cursed.
"Bad stuff! I can't stand a little wind and snow, so I go home with my mother, hug my wife and drill the quilt, be a king, don't be a soldier of Lao Tzu! ”
No matter how he scolds, the soldier is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Hey, it's not promising, let's rest, according to this marching speed, I think the credit will go to the Yizhou soldiers!"
The soldiers dismounted from their horses regardless of this confusion, some made a stove to boil hot water, and some took out soju and drank it deliciously.
At this moment, suddenly two nights did not collect and ran back, their faces were covered with frost and snow, and when they arrived in front of the big man, they knelt down and saluted.
"General Qiqiman, ten miles ahead, I found the Khan Court of the Karaqin Tribe, please show me!"
"What are you waiting for!" The big man suddenly stood up and flew on his horse.
"Children, a Tartar head is thirty taels, if you have a grudge against the silver, stay still!"
"What can, how can it!"
These soldiers finally came to their senses, and they didn't care about eating, so they followed the big man one after another, and a whirlwind rushed towards Karaqin. (To be continued......)
