Xu Jingchang changed like this, and the fool knows what's going on, this is to find Ha Lieguo's unhappiness...... But no one in the audience jumped out to object. First, this is a ventilation meeting, there is no need to hurt and be angry, and secondly, they have just shouted that they will send troops to the country, if they have different attitudes and are caught by Xu Jingchang, it will not be good.

It was Xu Jingchang, he added, "Huang Shangshu, Fang Shangshu, do you think I did this, is it considered to modify the national letter without authorization?" ”

Huang Guan lowered his head, but Fang Bin immediately said: "This is a translation, not an official national document...... According to my opinion, the people below are worried about accidents, so they will be more subtle and restrained. Even if the barbarians are not welcome, they may not be able to write it. Moreover, Harlie Lao Khan Timur has the heart to mobilize troops against the Ming Dynasty, which is very rude, they are only afraid that they still have the intention of annexing the Central Plains! ”

This is reasonable, and it is very level.

After Huang Guan groaned, he said worriedly: "Harlie has a vast territory, and the old Khan is said to have mobilized a million troops on his expedition to the east. Even if the boasting part is deducted, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. My Ming soldiers and horses naturally do not lose to Harlie, but the northwest is withered, the Hexi Corridor has been abandoned for a long time, it is difficult to supply the army to fight, and it is necessary to transfer military rations from the south, all the way to thousands of miles, working the people and losing money, which is by no means a blessing for the country. ”

This time, Xu Jingchang couldn't pass the sea route and play a military rations. It is necessary to start from the land in a down-to-earth manner and go through 9981 difficulties before we can send grain over.

Even Xu Jingchang didn't dare to take risks.

"The situation in the northwest is really difficult to support a large-scale use of troops. That old Khan Timur was also a fool. He mobilized an army of one million and attacked the Ming Dynasty. Even if we kill them, as long as we resist and consume them continuously, when they are short of food and grass and it is difficult to continue, we will resolutely counterattack, and we will surely win a complete victory. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "It's just that the imperial court is too weak in the northwest, and it is not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty." Balancing the north, south, east and west is also the duty of us courtiers, let's discuss it and see how to strengthen the northwest and resist the threat of Haret! ”

At this point, everyone looked at each other, and finally Lu Zhen spoke: "Dingguo Gong, since ancient times, wanting to be real is nothing more than immigration. The northwest is empty, and if the imperial court can immigrate millions, everything will be solved. ”

Xu Jingchang directly gave this Shangshu of the Criminal Department a big look, immigrating millions, you said it is easy, the two lips touched, it was not difficult, but if it was implemented, it would not be so easy.

When it comes to migration, future generations will inevitably feel that there is no ...... Take the train, morning and evening, thousands of miles away, just one day.

But in ancient times, it was completely different, a long journey, relying on two legs, over the mountains and mountains, thousands of miles. They also have to carry food to cope with wind, frost, rain and snow, and water and soil.

Not to mention the bandits, tigers, leopards, insects and snakes along the way...... A casual accident is enough to turn a big living person into a white bone on the side of the road, and there is no one to collect the corpse.

For example, the most typical Great Qin Lingnan Army, why did they sit idly by and ignore it when the Qin Dynasty fell? Even if they want to come back to King Qin, how can they go back smoothly?

Not to mention that many people have already settled in Lingnan and are unwilling to suffer from another migration, even if they are particularly loyal to Daqin...... When they went, they were supplied to the south with the power of the Qin Dynasty.

Now they want to use the weak financial resources of Lingnan to support their northern expedition...... How big of a difference is this?

A real battlefield expert discusses logistics, which is the key to victory or defeat in a war.

Now with troops in the northwest, the problem is stuck in grain and grass.

Xia Yuanji pondered for a long time before he said: "I'm not against crusading against the ministers, it's just that no matter what, the soldiers and horses can't exceed 100,000, otherwise it will be difficult for the household department to support it." Once it is a big failure, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, this time he also supported Lao Xia's judgment.

"If I were to say, 100,000 soldiers and horses is also a big burden. If I really want to say that it is better to develop the northwest first, and to migrate to the northwest. ”

Fang Bin's eyes lit up, could it be that he wanted to follow his own method?

Then Xu Jingchang said: "Forced immigration and large-scale mobilization are too great." We had better find a way to encourage people to take the initiative to emigrate there. ”

Xia Yuanji was curious: "Dingguo Gong, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do, tempt it to take advantage."

Xu Jingchang came up with a plan...... All the people who immigrated in the past were able to get a land grant certificate, according to which they could get a total annual output of 30 stones...... And if you cultivate it for three years in a row, you can own the land. And for five years, it is exempt from taxation.

Similarly, merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions can also receive tax relief.

If willing to develop minerals in the northwest, the imperial court could provide interest-free loans.

Several Shangshu looked at each other, and these measures were quite attractive.

Xia Yuan Jixian said: "I agree, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, people have multiplied, and many places have been more than Ding, and it is difficult to maintain. Now they are encouraged to go north, immigrate to the real border, and benefit the country and the people...... But if there were the Varat cavalry and the soldiers and horses of Harel, if they invaded in a big way and emigrated there, would they not be sent to death? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "This is a very important matter, I don't know if there is a way in the military department?" ”

Fang Bin said: "This is also according to the old wisdom of Dingguo Gong in Beiping...... Set up farms, establish militias, and arrange warriors who can fight habitually to garrison in the northwest to deal with foreign enemies at any time. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Since this is the case, the Ministry of War will draw up a detailed strategy and send it to Your Majesty by courier." ”

The ventilation session was a success...... Xu Jingchang's mood is also very good.

He paid attention to the northwest and deliberately used troops...... But it's not a whim, it's not a big success, and you have to brush up some merits. Rather, there is a very helpless consideration.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Central Plains Dynasty gradually lost control of the Western Regions.

After hundreds of years of the Song Dynasty, the Han people in the Western Regions suffered heavy losses, and there was not a single ...... As a result, the entire Qing Dynasty, from beginning to end, was in the suppression of rebellion, fighting for more than 200 years, and did not completely solve the problem.

Like a scar of the Central Plains Dynasty, constantly losing blood.

Xu Jingchang's meaning is very clear, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to immigrate to the northwest.

And if it can succeed, it will not be a crisis in the northwest, but tens of thousands of Han people, who will continue to open up westward, expand the Han family, and expand their living space.

This is the purpose of hiding, Xu Jingchang doesn't need to make it clear to everyone, maybe a few hundred years later, a stroke will be written on the textbook, saying that it was Dingguogong's original decision to help the Han family expand its territory, and the credit is great...... Maybe it will become an exam question!

Thinking of this, Xu Jingchang was in a good mood.

Soon the Ministry of War came up with a strategy, and the Ministry of Household also had an immigration plan.

The Ministry of Rites also handed over the situation of Hareb Kingdom.

Zhu Di saw these official documents, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed them to the side.

"Xu Jingchang, it is clear that King Halie Khan has the heart to pay tribute and trade and is friendly with the Ming Dynasty, why do you have to use troops against Hare?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister just suggested whether to use soldiers or not, and His Majesty should make a holy decision...... The minister didn't tamper with the national letter, he was talking nonsense! ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but hummed: "Clever words, I can see through it, whoever sits in your position is unreliable...... Now, I ask you, according to the precedent of the various ministries, how do you ask me to use troops against Haret? ”

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "Then how did Your Majesty plan it?" ”

Zhu Di said: "King Harlie Old Khan is known as a million-strong army to the east, even if I am sure that I will win more with less, I must prepare 300,000 people, otherwise I will not underestimate the heroes of the world?" Also, how about preparing for Warat to send troops, and there are definitely no people, and 500,000 soldiers and horses are prepared? ”

Not how!

Xu Jingchang immediately shook his head, such a war must make the Ming Dynasty exhausted.

"Your Majesty, at the moment, the northwest land can't withstand so many soldiers and horses no matter what. Da Ming is even more not. What's more, Harlie has no intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty at all, so why does Your Majesty bother on an expedition? ”

Zhu Di didn't say a word, grabbed the translated content and slapped it in front of Xu Jingchang.

It was you who said that the Hareje Kingdom considered itself the Mongolian orthodoxy, and now it is you who say that they have no intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty.

"Xu Jingchang, you have a good mouth, you have said everything you wanted, what do you want me to say?"

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister advocates immigrating to the northwest, even if there is a way to block the way for Harlie to go east...... We can light a fire behind their butts and shove a hedgehog into their crotch. ”

Zhu Di listened to the freshness, and Xu Jingchang asked people to get the map.

Looking down at the map, the Ming Dynasty is vast, thousands of miles away from east to west, and it is certainly the largest country in the world.

But the Harlie Kingdom is also not small, the Western Regions to the west, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, all of them are their territory, and they can really compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jingchang put his finger on the shoreline......

Zhu Di instantly understood, "What do you mean, do you still want to send troops by sea?" ”

Zhu Di chuckled and said, "I don't understand, why are you so obsessed with the sea?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has long known how convenient sea transportation is...... As long as our fleet reaches the place, nature is invincible. ”

Zhu Di sighed: "Yes, I pacified Mo Nan because of the convenience and sufficiency of military food, but in this way, I can't personally lead the troops and beg for thieves in front of the battle." ”

Xu Jingchang said: "But in this way, the Ming Dynasty will be able to encompass the world, and all the places near the sea are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty's achievements in Yuanmai Taizu are also in front of you." ”

Zhu Di grabbed his beard and thought for a while: "Are you really sure that you can be invincible at sea?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "At this time, I am only afraid to ask King Han." ”

"King Han? He is not proficient in water warfare, so what is the use of asking him? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, it was time to give Zhu Di a little shock.

Sure enough, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies sent news to Zhu Di that he was going to conduct a military exercise, which was to assess the power of firearms.

Zhu Di nodded happily, "I have been in trouble for four years, and I have long learned the ability of firearms, but I can only say that it depends on whose hands it is, like a waste like Jianwen, no firearms will work." ”
