In front of Baishi Mountain.
Tao Cheng disembarked at Xiujiang Fort and marched quickly to Baishi Mountain.
Starting from Baishi Mountain, the eastern part of Xunzhou Prefecture is filled with endless mountains. Among the towering mountains and forests, there are uncounted natives living there.
The number of villages inside was reported by Baishi Village.
The court didn't know exactly how many there were, as no Han people had ever entered.
Tao Cheng didn't use conventional play.
Fang Ying defeated the chieftain, captured a few natives, interrogated the way into the mountain, led the army in little by little, and fought several tough battles before conquering the chieftain.
Along the way, Tao Cheng was thinking about how Ou Xin fought.
Why so fast?
He was born in Juren, a wealthy family in Yulin, Guangxi. He abandoned his writing and joined the army during the Zhengtong Dynasty, and made many military exploits.
Therefore, he will analyze the reasons for Ouxin's success from a civilian perspective.
Then use force to copy Ouxin's success.
"If Ou Xin were my officer, he would definitely make a surprise attack!"
That's right.
It's a raid.
Just play fast.
After Tao Cheng figured it out, he chose to go deep alone.
He is better than Tao Cheng. He is a local, can understand the local dialect, and is familiar with the local terrain.
So quickly cut to Baishi Village.
They took Baishi Village by surprise and chose to attack by force, regardless of the consequences. They quickly penetrated Baishi Village and recruited their troops to surrender.
"I am no worse than Ou Xin!"
Tao Cheng realized that Ouxin's success lies in his speed.
As long as he is fast enough, the native cannot react.
He did not send people to capture Baishi Village, but instead subdued the natives of Baishi Village for his own use and strengthened his army.
He let the soldiers rest, eat a good meal, sleep for a day, and then went into the mountains.
Clean all cottages along the way.
Recruit natives as soldiers.
Eighteen days later, Tao Cheng appeared in Luo Xiu Village and cleaned out Luo Xiu Village.
Divide the troops into six groups and clean up the stronghold from the north to the south.
Recruit natives as soldiers to strengthen the army.
At the same time, repay the favor to Fang Ying.
He does not plan to stop in Xunzhou Prefecture, his next target is Rong County in Wuzhou Prefecture.
At present, the number of troops in his hands has expanded to 6,000, and there are only 400 soldiers left in the Zhenguo army he brought, all of them local soldiers.
Since Tao Cheng was a local, he had an advantage over Ou Xin in recruiting local soldiers.
He moved his troops eastward and raided Rong County.
Along the way, he kept dividing his troops and captured the nearby copycat soldiers.
Because he was a local, he dared to release the local soldiers. Ou Xin only attacked the big chieftains and did not dare to recruit all the soldiers from the village. Because the local soldiers were complicated in composition, he was not allowed to divide the troops.
If Ou Xin divides his troops, the native soldiers will definitely run away.
Tao Cheng is different. He takes full advantage of the local people's advantages.
There are obvious differences between him and Ouxin.
Ou Xin clearly ordered the military regulations and acted in full compliance with them, while Tao Cheng turned a blind eye and allowed the soldiers to loot, and all the proceeds from the looting went to the soldiers themselves.
Therefore, the native soldiers were willing to obey his orders and fight for him.
Break through Rong County and get through to Chen Wang's Ministry.
Chen Wang went south, and he went north.
Fang Ying, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had broken through the ancient river mouth and opened up the main road between Nanning Prefecture and Xunzhou Prefecture. Then he sent his soldiers out and recruited nearby local soldiers to surrender.
Go up the river and conquer Hengzhou, Nanxiang, Yongchun, Wuluo and other places.
But he encountered difficulties at Hengshan.
To the north of Hengshan, there are endless small villages. Cleaning these small villages is difficult and the achievements are small.
Fang Ying thought about it: "I have been ordered by the emperor to clean up Guangxi. How can I take it easy? He will report the merits to His Majesty. How can I be rewarded?"
"Chen Wenwen, Sun Zhen!"
"The governor will give you five thousand men and all the boats and ships. Go up the river and capture the Bachi, Xuanhua, Ma Tuishan and other chieftains!"
"Split your troops again at Ma Tuishan. Sun Zhen, you and Chen Wenwen split up."
"Go all the way north, toward Long'an and Guohua Prefecture;"
"Go all the way south along the Yangtze River to Xinningzhou and Tuoling."
"Chen Wenwen, go north and capture Guohua, then turn back and capture the fruit, return to Dezhou, and go to Sien Mansion!"
"Sun Zhen, after you take Tuoling, you are not allowed to enter Taiping Mansion. Go south to Zhongzhou, Shangsizhou and other places to clean up the southern part of Nanning Mansion!"
"Then transfer to Lianzhou Mansion!"
Because Taiping Mansion and Siming Mansion are newly naturalized mansions, they are said to be Ming Dynasty mansions, but they are actually similar to Xuanweisi Palace.
Don't move for the time being, otherwise Annan will interfere and cause unnecessary trouble.
After he has defeated Guangxi, he can then station troops here and bulldoze them forcefully.
"I obey the order!" Chen Wenwen and Sun Zhen were eager to give it a try.
The other generals were sent out, and they were still following the army, so they were inevitably tied up.
Who doesn’t want to gain military exploits?
Finally the opportunity came.
The gold of Ou Xin is so shining, everyone wants to catch up with Ou Xin.
Fang Ying herself walked in the direction of Jinchengzhai and Kunlun Mountain, entered Liuzhou Prefecture, and first wiped out the southern part of Liuzhou Prefecture.
From all fronts, good news continued to come.
After Zhu Yi defeated Wuxuan, he marched west along the Yangtze River, conquered Laibin, Qianjiang and other places, and divided Liuzhou Prefecture into two.
Zhu Yi divided his troops and went north to clean up.
The south side was left to Fang Ying.
Zhu Yi was even more ruthless. He promoted local generals to generals and allowed local generals to lead troops to plunder. He didn't care about how to manage it in the later period and allowed local generals to kill wantonly.
As a result, the entire northern part of Liuzhou was in mourning.
He also divided his troops into multiple routes. He led his troops to Qingyuan Mansion and divided his troops to Guilin Mansion.
In terms of the number of troops, Zhu Yi has the most, he kills the most, and causes the most harm. He actually has 50,000 troops, which is still growing.
Ouxin fought the most fiercely, but his troops did not reach 30,000.
Yangyu and other four groups, originally affiliated with the Northern Army, set out from Qinchuan and Shimen and also headed north to attack Leping Mansion.
However, Jin Xiu and other chieftains were all pacified by Duan Si'e. After Duan Si'e recruited the native soldiers, he actually invaded Huangdong Village, gathered with Xiuren Village and Ergouzi, and at the same time joined Yangyu and other four groups.
Ouxin is still in the mountains.
No news came out.
Duan Si'e made a prompt decision and gathered a large army to attack Lipu. Regardless of the losses, he used the lives of local soldiers to fill the inside. Lipu was captured, but the Ming army suffered heavy losses and was unable to advance northward.
It was not until mid-August that Ou Xin emerged from Wuzhi Mountain and appeared in He County.
He Wei was seriously ill.
He went in more than a hundred pounds, but came out skinny and bones, and lost about fifty pounds on the scale.
He also got a bad disease and vomited out a lot of bugs. If it weren't for the local doctor, he would have died long ago.
He saw with his own eyes that Ou Xin was like a god descending to earth, planning all his plans, and playing tricks on the village soldiers in the mountains, as if he was a local and the natives were foreign enemies.
It took a full month for Ou Xin to bulldoze all the toasts in the mountains to the east of Leping Mansion.
The number of troops in hand reached 30,000.
At the same time, he received the good news that Lipu had been captured by Duan Si'e.
Ou Xin was furious when he learned that his headquarters had been crippled.
The advantage is mine, so why rush.
The chieftain of Lipu is the largest chieftain in Pinglefu. It is not easy to attack. After he gathers the natives in the mountains and then attacks again, how can there be such a big loss?
He strictly ordered Duan Si'e, Ergouzi, Yang Yu and other troops to rest in Lipu and not to move without permission.
"Lipu has been defeated."
"If I want to be knighted, I have to find another way."
Ou Xin stared at the map and muttered: "Divide the troops!"
He split into three groups, led by old men under his command. They went all the way north along the river to attack Daning, and all the way south along the river to Xindu.
They then sent all the way back to Bianpeng Village and went north to attack Fuping.
He personally led his troops to attack Lan Dong Village.
Huaiji is a place similar to Wuzhishan. They are both rolling mountains and connect to Guangdong. They used to be a three-nothing zone.
Ou Xin decided to settle the matter himself.
"Brother He, do you want to go and make military exploits with your brother, or go back?" Ou Xinna joked with Wei.
Hewei was indeed in poor health, but he never once complained of tiredness or pain along the way, and even gave advice to Ou Xin during his illness.
The two formed a deep friendship.
"You look down on your brother, don't you?"
He Wei laughed and then said seriously: "Brother, Huaiji is not a good place."
"I want to completely conquer Huaiji."
"We must first solve the three major chieftains in Lianshan, Guangning and Deqing in Guangdong."
"Otherwise, even if we can capture Huaiji, we won't be able to fully capture Huaiji. Those natives will escape from the mountain road and take refuge in other chieftains' territories. When we withdraw, they will come back."
Ou Xin suddenly realized and said in deep thought: "Let's go to Guangdong!"
"The Governor is the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"The purpose of purging Guangxi toast is to frighten Guangdong toast."
"Why don't we divert to Guangdong and clean out all the toast!"
He Wei exclaimed: "But the governor's order did not mention Guangdong."
"No hurries?"
Ou Xin smiled and said: "This commander will report it to the governor immediately."
"This commander estimates that all the chieftains in Guangxi have been wiped out by our Ming army at this time."
"The governor is also thinking about whether we should take advantage of the chaos to clean up Guangdong as well."
That's right.
Fang Ying was indeed hesitating.
The key point is that Zhu Yi fought too hard and had no regard for how to manage it in the future. He slaughtered as many as 200 villages!
It is impossible to calculate how many people died.
Have you completely forgotten what His Majesty told you?
Do you risk your life just to make meritorious service?
You killed so many natives, how will you bring them home in the future?
His Majesty always said in court that the natives are also descendants of Chinese Miao people and should not be treated differently.
You'd better kill them all!
"Send an order to Ou Xin, just act according to the situation, and Guangdong can be pacified!" Fang Ying agreed to Ou Xin's request.
Zhu Yi in Guilin Mansion was also depressed.
I have repeatedly ordered you not to kill anyone! No killing!
Damn it, none of these soldiers are obedient!
The number of troops in his hands has swelled to more than 100,000, and he doesn't know the exact number.
Even if someone pulled a piece of yellow clothing around him now, he would be unable to resist.
Zhu Yi has personally written a secret memorial to apologize to the emperor.
He also wanted to ask Fang Ying for help, but the problem was that he was afraid that if he wrote the letter, the soldiers would chop him up when they came back.
He could only keep passing good news to Fang Ying and ask him to send troops to rescue him.
to be honest.
Those natives were much more ruthless than him in killing their compatriots.
The entire Guilin Prefecture, northern Liuzhou, and Anqing Prefecture were already covered with war smoke. The blood of the natives stained the land red. No one knew how many people died.
Then the victorious army took the old, weak, sick and disabled and continued to slaughter the next village.
The troop strength increased like a snowball.
But they are all rabble.
All of them have big and small bags, all of which are gold, silver and jewelry, and they make a lot of money.
Zhu Yi appeared to be the chief general, but in fact the Ming army only had 600 soldiers, all of whom were local soldiers. He could not even name the local generals.
He can only wait for Fang Ying to save him.
In mid-August, the capital.
Good news from Guangxi came like snow flakes.
Zhu Qiyu and Long Yan were delighted: "Ou Xin is a famous general! Tao Cheng and Duan Si'e are also good, and Fang Ying can fight!"
"I am waiting to congratulate Your Majesty!" The courtier disagreed.
Isn’t it just Guangxi toast?
Just push with your eyes closed, there is nothing to praise.
"My lords, do you know why I want to clean up the chieftains?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Show off your martial arts skills!
I want to be an emperor for eternity.
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "The history of chieftains can be traced back thousands of years. In many border provinces, chieftains are autonomous, and the court is nothing more than a tyrant."
"The Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system and allowed the existence of chieftains during the reign of Taizu."
"It became custom-made and has been passed down to this day."
"The Taizong Dynasty once provoked internal fighting among the chieftains in Guizhou, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that Guizhou returned to its native land."
"But the effect is not significant."
"Now, almost no one is willing to expand the Han territory and allow the chieftains to encroach on the Han territory."
"I know the reason."
"To put it simply, everyone in the court thinks that Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are barren and no one can be conquered. In the future, a lot of human and financial resources will be invested in construction, and the gains outweigh the losses."
“That’s been the case since time immemorial.”
"I understand very well."
"but!"
"I don't think so!"
"I want to turn the land into Han, bulldoze the chieftains, and incorporate the border provinces into the Ming Dynasty and turn them into core territories."
"It's not that I want to be an emperor for eternity!"
"I really want to be an emperor for eternity, so why don't I go and fight Annan? Since ancient times, the achievements of emperors have been calculated based on their military merits."
"Which emperor has governed the place for a long time?"
"I will be the emperor for eternity, and my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Wouldn't it be great?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "My lords, I am doing something to connect the past and the future. This is a thankless thing."
"Just like Ou Xin, he failed to achieve the great success of attacking the Lipu chieftain. Instead, he went into the mountains and killed the little chieftains in the mountains."
"What Ou Xin does is what I do!"
"It's not for the so-called reputation, but to work for Ming Dynasty sincerely!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "As for the reason."
"My lords, have you ever felt it? The Ming Dynasty is getting colder and colder."
"There are more and more disasters in the north."
"You are all well-read people. Do you know the reason?"
The courtier frowned and thought.
It's true, last winter was very cold, and many livestock on the grassland froze to death.
"Your Majesty, the weather may have been extreme last year, but it will be better this year." Ye Sheng said.
"Last year's weather was extreme. What about the year before last? What about the year before that?"
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Is it getting colder every year?"
Hu Xi actually nodded: "I am deeply touched by this. I remember that when the capital was first moved to Beijing, the winter was not bone-chillingly cold, but in recent years, it has indeed become colder year by year."
"What's the reason?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Wei Chen believes that this is a disaster caused by excessive destruction." Bai Gui took the opportunity to regain favor.
Geng Jiuchou, who was not dealing with Bai Gui, also nodded.
Just to burn firewood in winter requires cutting down a large number of trees. Planting trees cannot grow in a year. As a result, the more people there are, the more desolate the area will be.
The fertile soil in Guanzhong was ruined in this way.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that it may get colder and colder in the future?" Hu Hui handed over his hand.
"I'm worried."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "What if it gets colder and colder and the north is no longer suitable for living?"
"Move the capital back to Nanjing?"
"Can southern Zhili, Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Sichuan feed the entire Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Absolutely not!
"So, I have to prepare for a rainy day and leave a way for my descendants to survive!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "When the north became uninhabitable, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital back to Nanjing. With the help of the southern provinces, the Ming Dynasty could still maintain its existence."
That’s not right!
The north is no longer suitable for living. What do you want the whole of Mobei to do?
Also, didn't you say that these three powerful weapons can turn Mobei into ten thousand acres of fertile land?
This is not contradictory.
You just want to be an emperor for eternity!
You went to great lengths to embrace Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou just to move southward and annex Luchuan and Jiaozhi! Be the true emperor for eternity!
"Your Majesty, the chieftain system has been passed down for thousands of years."
"It's nothing more than the Central Plains Dynasty, which looks down upon those barren lands."
"Just like this time, His Majesty decreed that Guangxi will be in peace overnight."
Hu Xi said seriously: "But what about after it is pacified? How much materials will be needed for reconstruction? After reconstruction, how much food can be produced? How much tax can be collected?"
"It's unlikely that after Guangxi is pacified, we will have to rely on blood transfusions from Jiangnan, right?"
Hu Xi hits the nail on the head.
Yes, both Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi are losing money.
Emperor Taizu considered it again and again, but chose to maintain the chieftain's status and did not use force to bulldoze it, just because he would have to pay for it and have to raise it after taking it.
The gain outweighs the loss!
This is a loss-making business.
"Old Master, imperial rice can be grown in the capital, but can't it be grown in Guangxi?"
Zhu Qiyu asked back: "The most important thing for the country is food. If all the crops in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are planted with two crops a year, tell me, will the Ming Dynasty still be short of food?"
Hu Xi was asked.
"It can also be planted in Huguang." Ye Sheng whispered.
"Ye Qing, do you dislike having too much food?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If the country is strong, Dingkou must also be prosperous! What restrains Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty is food!"
“Once people all over the country can have enough to eat, will anyone still rebel?”
"With the food supply from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, would Wushen and Duogan still dare to rebel? Do those local chieftains dare to secretly depose the capital and break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty?"
"If I had enough food, would I still be patient here?"
"I've pushed down the entire Mobei!"
"Go west and reopen the Western Region!"
"The great Ming Dynasty is strangled by food!"
Zhu Qiyu was indignant: "I'm short of food, I'm afraid of it!"
"His Majesty!"
Yu Qian slowly knelt on the ground: "If the yield of royal rice is higher than that of wheat and rice, I will personally lead the troops to pacify the border for your majesty!"
With Yu Qian's words, Fengtian Palace suddenly became quiet.
This is called the final word.
"What's the point of killing a chicken with a bull's knife?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "With Fang Ying in Guangdong and Guangxi, Xiang Wenyao in Guizhou, and Wang Wen in Yunnan, no chieftain can cause trouble!"
"Since ancient times, chieftains have never been a serious concern of my Central Plains dynasty."
"If you want to pacify them, you can only think about it in court!"
"The old lady is right, as long as it can produce food, any land is valuable!"
"I'm telling you, if we continue to promote rice, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, in ten years, the Ming Dynasty will have so much food to feed pigs!"
boom!
The entire Fengtian Palace exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, are you serious about this?" Yu Qian was shocked.
The courtiers were stunned. Even the gods in the sky probably couldn't live that kind of life, right?
"I never aim without aim!"
Zhu Qiyu pointed at himself: "If you can't do it, I will issue an edict to punish myself!"
"I dare not force Your Majesty!" Yu Qian immediately fell to the ground.
"Liang Lang, write this down for me. I will never break your promise!" Zhu Qiyu said loudly.
The existence of toast.
It's just that the Central Plains dynasty didn't want to take care of it, because these places were poor and worthless.
Why the Qing Dynasty completely bulldozed Guizhou and Guangxi Tusi? It was not because of the widespread cultivation of the three major weapons. Food can be grown on the land, so the land is naturally valuable.
And the reason why Yunnan Tusi was bulldozed was because of the cultivation of Wuxiang.
In the final analysis, it is profit.
Look at Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which dynasty is willing to give up, the same reason.
"Password, Ou Xin attacked Baixia Village and performed meritoriously. He was promoted to Guangxi General and was given a bronze talisman."
Zhu Qiyu is reminding Fang Ying that to bulldoze the chieftains, you are not asking you to find the ones with the greatest merit, but to push them from hilltop to hilltop. Don’t be afraid of being slow and plow Guangxi thoroughly.
He didn't directly knight him either.
Because it was very tricky to pacify the chieftain.
The battle is all about logistics, and in Guangxi, logistics can be supplied in various cities, and the army can just push forward. It is also a home battle, so it is not difficult.
After this battle, Fang Ying will be restored to her title at most.
If you want to get a title, bulldoze the Yungui chieftains.
"As for Zhang Shun?"
"Publish the decree, whip him thirty times, strip him of all his posts, throw him to Guizhou, and serve as a soldier for Xiang Wenyao!"
"Tell Xiang Wenyao that in a tough battle, let Zhang Shun be the first to rush up and serve as a soldier for three years."
"If you don't die, you will save your life. If you dare to surrender to the enemy, you will kill the clan."
"How dare you recommend such a waste to me!"
Zhu Qiyu was very angry at Zhang Shun's inaction: "Hit his son Zhang Zhong with thirty lashes, strip him of his official position, and throw him to Yunnan, so that Wang Wen can train him well."
"Pass a message to commend Ou Xin, Tao Cheng, and Duan Si'e."
"Although Duan Si'e is a native and a woman, she is also a good general. She is not allowed to be discriminated against in the army. After this battle, I will reward her according to her merits!"
"Recommend talents like Ou Xin and Tao Cheng."
"Pass an edict to order Ou Xin, Tao Cheng, and Duan Si'e's descendants to enter the martial arts hall and be specially approved to enter the school."
The courtiers were all delighted.
Zhang Shun was a traitor and went to Guangxi to perform meritorious service without Feng Xiao's relationship. As a result, even Feng Xiao would probably have to suffer.
As for women leading troops in war, the courtiers naturally detested it.
But if you think of them as ugly and uneducated natives, then there will be no problem.
"My lords, please recommend a group of talents to join Guangxi."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Recommend some officials who can endure hardships and can go to Guangxi to govern the country. Well, you can also recommend people. As long as they can endure hardships and stand hard work, I want them!"
After Guangxi was cleared, a large number of grassroots officials were needed to enter the villages and act as officials.
There are such officials.
But rarely.
After all, after ten years of hard work and hard work, who would be willing to go to such a miserable place to endure the hardships of becoming a Jinshi, barely able to become a magistrate?
"His Majesty!"
Hu Hui saluted and said, "I thought I didn't need officials, but scholars!"
"People don't know how many talented people there are. Those who can pass the exam can be said to be dragons and phoenixes among people. Those who pass the exam again are said to be smoke rising from their ancestors' graves."
"These scholars have no chance to become officials in the court. Even if they become officials, it is extremely difficult without connections."
"So let them go to these miserable places to serve as officials."
"Neither Juren nor Jinshi are willing to go."
"Please, Your Majesty, open an opportunity for scholars to educate those who have failed repeatedly in Guangxi."
Hu Xi's words made Zhu Qiyu slightly nod: "It is enough for a scholar to educate the natives."
"Preaching the decree, if you are willing to go to Guangxi and educate the native people, you can also enter the official career! You will be promoted normally!"
Zhu Qiyu added: "Be an official, not a official!"
Hu Xi smiled and said: "If this imperial edict is passed down, civil scholars will definitely sign up enthusiastically. There will be no shortage of people in Guangxi."
"It's all thanks to the old master's plan."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The natives of Guangxi are difficult to treat. The Ministry of Punishment has issued another set of strict laws. In Guangxi, we must educate and enforce strict laws. As long as they are people of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no problem of differential treatment!"
"Books compiled by the Hanlin Academy are published by the Classics Factory."
"Send them all to Guangxi."
"Xue Xuan will definitely be too busy by herself."
"Find him some helpers from the court and go to Guangxi to help him."
After Zhu Qiyu gave his instructions, he smiled and said: "Today, the prisoners escorted by Tingyicheng to the capital are all Tatar nobles. I have to entertain them myself."
"If you don't hold a banquet at Qianqing Palace, hold a banquet at Donghua Gate."
Zhu Qiyu smiled.
The courtiers laughed along and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Some more things were discussed.
After going to court, Zhu Qiyu went back to the Yangxin Hall to do his work.
The palace has been completely restored.
nearly a month.
Jehol Province has been established and the infrastructure is fully set up.
Li Jin and Mao Sheng pushed all the way north and arrived in Yidu.
However, the construction of the city is still very slow. The construction of the city and the bastion is mixed. The court is recruiting people to go to Mobei to build the city, and the city will be paid for construction.
Li Jin is building the defense of Hanzhou Dusi.
The road was smooth and smooth, no big battles were fought, small battles continued, victory and tenderness were won, victory and tenderness were won.
Immigrants from Gyeonggi Province entered Jehol one after another.
Zhang Feng is in charge of immigration.
The property-owning people in Gyeonggi are definitely not willing to abandon their homes and businesses to go to Rehe, so they can only recruit refugees and resettle them to Rehe.
But when those refugees heard that they could cross the Great Wall, they all ran back.
I would rather die inside the Great Wall than go outside the Great Wall.
Zhang Feng had to use guardsmen to arrest people.
Immigration is very difficult.
Song Jie was also very distressed that Wan Quanjun was unwilling to divide the territory in Rehe.
They all want to go home.
I don't want to move my family here at all.
Even if Song Jie is given land to three people, and women are divided into fields, no one wants to stay in Rehe with such good benefits.
Song Jie sent a secret message to the capital.
Zhu Qiyu scolded him.
Tell the soldiers to farm in Rehe first and bring the money back home. Let the soldiers adapt for a few years and they will naturally be willing to move here.
As soon as Rehe was built, you asked the soldiers to immigrate. How could the soldiers not be afraid?
Anyway, there is no war to fight in Mobei.
Rehe is very safe.
Let them get used to it for two years. By then, they will realize that Rehe is so good that they won’t be willing to go back even if they are sent home.
Come little by little.
A large number of gentry poured into Liaodong, and Liaodong began to carry out construction and recuperation.
Li Xian was in Siping City, supervising the construction of Siping City.
Liang Yue opened a shipyard in Luda.
The whole country is prosperous.
The Mongolian captives escorted to Beijing by Tingyi City included Tatar Khan Daiqin, Ming Dynasty's good friends Agu, Alima and other Tatar nobles, numbering more than 50 people.
At this moment, everyone was kneeling in front of Donghua Gate.
Agu felt bitter in his heart. He had an opportunity before him, but he didn't cherish it. Now he regrets it.
Kneeling in the crowd, he whimpered.
Even worse than him was Alima.
Alima ran away first, but was caught inside the Great Wall and became a prisoner of the Ming army.
But he thinks he is not miserable, the worst is Dalat.
When Dalat was captured, he butted an ox with a Ming army soldier, and was cut into pieces by five horses. His head was hung on the Great Wall, and it has not been taken off yet.
Agu's cry caused the Tatar nobles to cry and howl.
They are so miserable.
Came to plunder.
No one went back, and all the family property was lost.
I heard that the Ming army was clearing Mobei and restoring the territory of Yongle Dynasty.
I knelt for two full hours.
The emperor just appeared in front of Donghua Gate.
"From now on, Donghua Gate will be used to sacrifice prisoners." Zhu Qiyu said.
"Your Majesty, the Meridian Gate is where prisoners are offered..." Feng Xiao whispered.
"The Meridian Gate is the official prisoner presentation ceremony."
"In the future, when there is no ceremony to present prisoners, they will be presented at Donghua Gate."
"What main entrance should those prisoners take?"
"Are they worthy?"
Zhu Qiyu was angry.
"My slave obeys the order!" Feng Xiao quickly knelt down.
When Zhang Shun, whom he recommended, got into trouble, it was the time to be a man with your tail between your legs.
Standing on the royal chariot.
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the Tatar prisoners.
"His Majesty the Khan!" Agu said crazily.
Zhu Qiyu saw him from the crowd: "Oh, the Tatars are gone, where is the khan? I am the great emperor of the Celestial Dynasty!"
"Wei Chen knows his mistake, Wei Chen knows his mistake!"
Agu's hands were tied and he nodded: "I am here to see His Majesty the Great Emperor of China!"
"What kind of humble minister do you call yourself?" Zhu Qiyu squinted his eyes.
"Your Majesty once recruited a minor minister. In order to continue to work undercover in the Khan's court, the minor minister did not dare to agree to your Majesty's request, so he purchased a problematic musket."
Agu has already made a draft.
This guy is indeed a talent, and with his shameless energy, he is pretty good.
Others couldn't understand Chinese, but Alima could. He looked at Agu blankly, so you are a spy from the Ming Dynasty!
"Well, he's quite smart. Let's castrate him and serve him in the palace."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at them: "There is no need for others to waste food. Let's take them to Caishikou, Lingchi."
Agu Gang begged for mercy, he didn't want to be a eunuch.
But when I heard that the other person was Ling Chi.
Suddenly I felt balanced.
"Great Emperor of Heaven, have mercy on me!" Alima spoke in Chinese.
"Can you speak Chinese?"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense: "The one who can speak Chinese will be castrated to enter the palace, and the others will be left behind."
Agu was stunned.
He originally thought that the emperor would humiliate the Tatar nobles, then put it down gently and give them a happy life.
This is what a Han emperor should do.
What they want is people's hearts and a reputation as a teacher.
But why didn’t Emperor Jingtai take the usual path?
When you open your mouth, it's too late.
Those who are still alive can become eunuchs.
Are you the Mongol emperor?
"At Ling Chi, call the people over to see." Zhu Qiyu sat back in the chariot, too lazy to talk nonsense.
"Spare my life..."
Screams came and went.
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to listen.
Feng Xiao was stunned. He just killed him like this. Why did he need to meet him?
"The Tatars are all gone, who can I show off my martial arts with?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Look at them to confirm whether they are Tatars."
Feng Xiao understood.
The emperor was worried that someone would lie to him.
"Give them Chinese names, not animal names." Zhu Qiyu returned to Yangxin Hall and continued to review the memorial.
Seeing the memorial from Hetao, Zhu Qiyu praised it: "Fan Guang did a great job!"
There are Wala cavalry attacking Hetao.
Fan Guang didn't do anything, and lured the Oala cavalry into the bandit. Then he made dumplings and ate thousands of the cavalry.
This battle was won three times.
Nearly three thousand people were captured.
He also gathered the Ordos tribe in Hetao and gained more than 20,000 troops.
When they learned that Yu Qian defeated the Tatars in the first battle, the Ordos tribe was willing to Chineseize, but they wanted more pasture and wanted to be nomadic in today's Jehol Province.
"Tell Fan Guang, no!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "We are just a Mongolian people, but we covet the Tatar pastures. Why don't we go to heaven?"
"Pass an edict to commend Fan Guang and give him a bronze talisman."
"Order Fan Guang to split up the Ordos tribe, move one to Fengning Prefecture, one to Chengde Prefecture, and one to stay in Hetao."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to break up the Ordos tribe.
"Send the message again, ordering Wang Lai, Gong Yongji, and Zhao Fu to rush to the aid of Hetao at any time to guard against the rebellion of the Ordos tribe."
"Order Xuanzhen to move north, take Guyuan, Shacheng and other places and push them northward."
"The town of Huailai was moved northward to Guyuan."
“Xuanhua moved westward to Hetao.”
"Order Datong Town to leave the customs and move northward to Jining, Fengzhou, and Guihua, and build cities in these three places and build forts along the way."
"Just leave half of the troops and horses in the pass."
Zhu Qiyu directly ordered Shanxi to move north.
"Your Majesty, do you need to discuss it with the courtiers?" Feng Xiao reminded in a low voice.
"Inform the cabinet of my wishes and let them discuss it. I think they won't refuse."
Zhu Qiyu tapped his fingertips and was thinking.
Feng Xiao didn't dare to speak.
"We will move north today and build the city first."
"Anyway, there will be a disaster this year, and the court has to spend money to provide disaster relief. Why not let them build the city, and I will pay for it."
Zhu Qiyu convinced himself.
It is easy to build a city, but not easy to defend it.
But autumn is coming soon, and the temperature in Mobei is dropping. If we can't fight at this time, we won't be able to fight this year.
Wait until next year, Daming will be different.
"Your Majesty!"
Huaien hurried in: "Liaodong secret music!"
It is Li Xian's memorial.
The Jurchen Ministry and Wu Liangha started fighting.
"Hurry and invite Duke Xing and the old lady..."
Zhu Qiyu stopped: "Come back!"
At the end of the memorial.
Li Xian suspected that this was a play between the Jurchens and Wu Liangha, and their target was the empty Liaoning.
The second strongest in the Northeast, the Tatars were destroyed, leaving the Ming Dynasty alone.
Both the Jurchen tribe and Uliangha are in a weak position and are likely to unite to counter the Ming Dynasty.
However, Li Xian believed that these two groups might send envoys to seek peace and then secretly attack Chencang.
After all, this year is the last chance to break through Liaoning. If we don't fight at this time, these two teams will be dead bones in the grave.
"Your Majesty!" Wynn was confused.
"There is no need to invite them here. Give this secret report to the cabinet department for analysis."
Even if the Jurchen Ministry and Uliangha merge, they will not be much stronger.
Nothing to worry about.
Zhu Qiyu continued to deal with the memorial, but his mind flew to Liaoning and he could not calm down.
He put down the memorial.
Go for a walk.
I thought the hall was too crowded, so I wandered around the courtyard.
Went to hang out in the harem again.
Now Tang Guifei, Shu Concubine and Zhuang Concubine are all pregnant.
Wenpo and Naikou are both ready.
This is Naikou, and it is also a husband's service unique to the capital.
Outside Dong'an Gate, there is a Naifu, which is affiliated to Jinyiwei. Forty Naikou are selected every season and raised in the mansion, called Zuojin Naikou.
Another eighty people were selected to join the official ranks and were ready to fill the vacancies at any time, named Dian Maonikou.
In Shuntian Mansion, all girls between fifteen and twenty, with both husbands and wives, and decent descriptions, are selected in the third month after giving birth. After Wen Po tests that there are no hidden diseases, they are sent to the joint selection.
Not only the royal family uses it, but also the Wujue and Wenxun families.
The expenses are still borne by the people of Shuntian Prefecture.
The servants of the Ming Dynasty were scolded by the courtiers, but there were only two things that no one scolded, one was Naikou and the other was Chaifu.
Because Naikou is used by high-ranking officials.
As for the firewood man, every family has to burn firewood.
When it comes to interests, everyone is tacitly aware of it.
In order to keep the fetus strong, Zhu Qiyu specially ordered Naifu to select 200 high-quality Naikou next year and wait for spare.
"Feng Xiao, I want to go to the palace for a visit." Zhu Qiyu said on a whim.
"Your Majesty, it's not safe outside the palace!"
Feng Xiao quickly knelt on the ground: "Now there are millions of men gathered in Gyeonggi, and it's very chaotic."
Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he heard this number.
"Are they all hired to repair the palace?" Zhu Qiyu frowned. The Ministry of Industry did not have this number.
Feng Xiao nodded.
"How did you know?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.
"Your Majesty, the factory guards have reported it. You are busy with official duties, so I guess you didn't read it carefully." Feng Xiao carefully replied.
"Go find it and let me take a look."
Soon, Feng Xiao asked someone to fetch a secret memorial.
Zhu Qiyu opened it and saw that it was reported by Jin Yiwei that millions of migrant men were pouring into the capital.
Some people did evil in the city and were killed in batches, but they still continued to be punished.
Fortunately, there was no intention of causing disturbance.
"Send him to Mobei to build a city." Zhu Qiyu was really scared.
The capital was empty before. If these men were instigated to rebel, the result would be disastrous.
fortunately.
The civilian husbands he recruited were paid!
For the first time in the Ming Dynasty, money was given to husbands and servants.
If it's the same as in previous years, it's service and obligation.
But it’s hard to say.
"Summon Shi Pu into the palace." Zhu Qiyu said.
He entered the Yangxin Hall and walked around: "Feng Xiao, how many troops are there in the capital?"
"Back to the emperor, there are still 70,000 troops stationed in various places in the capital. The Henan Army is near the capital. If necessary, we can order to enter the capital."
Feng Xiao reported back.
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
At this time, Shi Pu hurried in. He was tanned and dusty, but he was very energetic.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry has been the busiest among the six departments.
The Ministry of Industry, which used to be ranked low, has also become very popular.
His Shi Pu's status has also risen with the tide, and he is naturally like a spring breeze.
"Shi Qing, I ask you, why do millions of people gather in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Shi Pu was stunned: "Your Majesty, they are all recruited by the Ministry of Industry. Everyone is registered. They are all good people from Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Why so many?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, please pay me!"
Shi Pu smiled bitterly: "In the past, husbands and servants were not paid. It was the court's conscience to have enough to eat."
"This year, with one copper per person per day, we can still have enough to eat."
"Now is the time when farming is slack. People have no money to earn at home and have to eat what they have. Those who are not rich at home are reluctant to give up."
"I heard that the court recruits farm workers and gives them money to eat."
"Of course they all flocked to the capital."
Shi Pu held up his hand and said, "I have no choice but to do so. I have tried to persuade many people to return, but most of them are unwilling to leave. They even say that they only need a full meal and no wages."
"A few days ago, the old minister submitted a memorial, and you also approved it, saying that it is not allowed to forcibly expel people from the capital."
You didn’t say there were millions of men in the capital!
Of course I cannot force you to leave.
This is about blowing up the temple!
What if a million people gather to rebel?
In an instant, the Forbidden City was a purgatory on earth!
Shi Pu rolled his eyes, why did the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion recruit soldiers so quickly? Isn't it because there are too many people in the capital.
Besides, these people are here to eat and make money and will not rebel!
Moreover, the Baiwang Mansion is still under construction supervision. If you want to build it quickly, it will naturally require so much labor.
To put it bluntly, as long as the court pays money, these people will be stupid and rebel!
