5.47 million!

This figure even exceeds the population of Shandong in the 26th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Yang Chengying was not surprised.

To be precise, he is behind this result.

From the moment he gained a foothold in the Golden State, he has been using various means to aquevert the population.

Among them were the three largest waves of migration.

These three waves were the changes of Ding Mao, and Yang Chengying moved a large number of people from Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion.

At that time, a large number of landless refugees and people who could not bear the oppression of the squires all migrated into Liaodong with Yang Chengying.

The second wave was the Denglai Rebellion, a boatload of supplies was sent to Laizhou, and when they returned, they were not empty, but full of people.

The third wave was that Amin deliberately drove the people out of their homes in order to delay the Liaodong army's attack, causing a large number of people to enter Liaodong Town.

Two waves were actively facilitated by him, and one was passively received.

The sheer size of the population brought with it the convenience of taxation and conscription. At the same time, it has also brought about an increase in land pressure and the difficulty of governance.

There is a popular saying among the people: thousands of households walk everywhere, and a hundred households are not as good as dogs.

The 1,000 households themselves are set according to the number of households, and more than 1,000 households are managed.

Now Liaodong Town has a million household registrations, and thousands of households can go everywhere.

Hundreds of households often have to deal with the shortcomings of parents, but they do not have the right to convict, and the people are not afraid of him.

It can be said that the establishment of an efficient administrative system has been a consensus formed from top to bottom.

With the emergence of this new system, the era of the army and the people has gradually disappeared.

The meeting lasted an unprecedented eight days.

All departments, from the chief to the clerk, are familiar with the situation in their own departments.

Yang Chengying took the time to award the medal to the individuals and collectives who contributed to the whole year last year.

Five chapters and one honor, Sun Degong was awarded the Order of Wuhou to reward him for his many years of meritorious service in governing Lushun District.

In fact, it is also a comfort to Sun Degong.

Bao Chengxian, who surrendered with him, has reached the rank of privy envoy, and he is still the commander of a small tiger wing battalion.

The Hussar Medal was awarded to Jin Guochen, who played a key role in the Battle of Anshan.

He led the Bao Tao battalion over the mountains and mountains, and transported the mortar artillery to Baidaling in a difficult and timely manner, disrupting the enemy's military formation.

The Order of Diligence was awarded to Ma Santai, which was Yang Chengying's fulfillment of his promise to him.

As the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau, the Firearms Bureau, and the Gunpowder Bureau all went to learn lathes, the matter of tungsten ore could no longer be hidden.

The Order of Guide was awarded to officials who had made meritorious contributions to local governance, and Geng Zhongyu had managed the city for many years, providing Yang Chengying with a lot of financial support.

So this medal was awarded to Geng Zhongyu.

Abatai received the Order of White, which was supposed to be awarded to foreign friends.

If Abatai gets this medal, it doesn't mean that he has recognized the Houjin Kingdom in disguise.

Therefore, Yang Chengying changed the conditions for awarding the medal to a friend who is not from Liaodong Town.

When awarding Abatai the Medal of Wisdom, Yang Chengying said very clearly.

This is the first and last medal of Abatai, and in the future, he will be a person from Liaodong Town, and this medal will not be awarded again.

The honor of "Dangkou", Yang Chengying awarded the new first division and the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

As soon as they were attached, they fought with the enemy in the Battle of Anshan.

The success made Huang Taiji misjudge the situation and laid a solid foundation for the victory of the entire Battle of Anshan.

After the end of the Salt and Iron Conference and the Honors Conference, the recovery of Daningwei was naturally put on the agenda.

"We already have so many people, and there are still people who are going to Shanhaiguan one after another, or have taken refuge in us from other places."

"These people need to be resettled, and the enemy may also take the old road of Jizhen and invade Jizhen and other places again."

"It is imperative to recover Daningwei."

In the council hall of the Jingluo Mansion, Yang Chengying put forward his views on the recovery of Daningwei.

"Back then, the Karaqin tribe came to Gaotaibao to sell their sons and daughters, and I have seen the tragic situation."

"In the final analysis, it was all caused by the White Disaster, and we must take into account the pressure of logistics when we lead the army deep into Monan."

He Kegang, who is already the deputy privy envoy and the assassin of Ningyuan Prefecture, raised his concerns.

The white plague is also the snow plague.

During the Xiaoice period, snow disasters occur more frequently and cause much more damage than in other periods.

Some scholars in later generations believed that it was the frequent disasters that caused Zhu Di to give up the Daning Division.

"The white plague was not so cruel that people could not live, and a large number of Han people fled north to Monan to reclaim wasteland since Altan Khan."

Zu Dashou, the deputy privy envoy, said: "And there are people in Ningyuan Prefecture and Bac Ninh Prefecture who can't farm land to move there. ”

There are different types of people, some people are born not to farm, and some people are born not to ride horses.

It's not about the Mongols and the Han.

"Don't get too far away, we should get back to the thing."

Yang Chengying pulled the topic back in time, "There are a few problems that need to be solved at the moment, who is the right person to go to Daningwei to guard the town?" ”

Zu Dashou and the others looked at Abatai together.

Yang Chengying's stars are shining, but when it comes to dealing with the Mongols, whether it is physical or verbal, it is none other than Abatai.

Moreover, the army under the command of Abatai, 30,000 soldiers, more than half of whom came from the bitter cold land, had already developed a skill.

Abatai was a little hesitant in his heart, because in this case, he was likely to fight Houjin.

Darhan, who was sitting beside him, saw that Abatai was silent, and gently touched him with his elbow.

Abatai still hesitated.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "General Abatai, I never break my word. I promised not to let you fight with the past.

Daningwei was located north of Jizhen, and actually fought with Houjin far less often than with the Mongols.

That's why they want you to take on the responsibility of guarding the Great Ning Guard. ”

"Experienced, I'm not without awareness of this."

Abatai sighed and said, "It's just that our army has a lot of contact with Jizhen, and I, a general of a foreign race, can't speak at all. ”

After hearing the translation, Zu Dashou and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I'll give you two 'rubber stamps', and when you need to deal with Ming Ting, you can go with them."

Yang Chengying replied humorously.

Abatai nodded heavily.

Although he is brave and unscrupulous, he has a deep understanding of Huang Taiji.

If you guard the pass, Huang Taiji will treat your family preferentially.

If you really retire in Liaodong Town, your family will be in danger.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene became a little dull, Cui Chengxiu quipped: "Jinglu, listening to what you just said, I have to be a rubber stamp." ”

"Hey, you're more useful than a rubber stamp. It's up to you to come up with advice and deal with Jizhen. ”

When Yang Chengying said this, he looked at Gao Qiqian beside Cui Chengxiu, "I'm afraid that Master Cui won't be enough alone, so I have to send another person there." ”

Gao Qi dive for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Bitter cold land, our family...... Try it as much as you can. ”

He knew that he had a great friendship with Yang Chengying, and he had been tabooed by Chongzhen, and if he didn't rely on Yang Chengying's big tree, he would never come out.

So, he obediently agreed.

The leading generals, the civilian officers of the army and the eunuchs who supervise the army are all ready.
