This war in Heilongjiang Province not only brought an opportunity for peaceful construction, but also provided a large number of labor force for the construction and development of Heilongjiang Province.
This labor force was very useful and could help the Han immigrants who took the initiative to go to Heilongjiang Province to open up new homes to build their homes.
It can also be used to clear forests, level land, explore for mineral deposits, etc. In short, it has many uses, and it doesn't need to cost the court wages, just give it to the stutter.
This is very helpful for the long-term planning of the entire Liaodong region.
The current Liaodong is centered on three important areas: Liaoyang Prefecture, Huining Prefecture, and Linhuang Prefecture. The three centers work simultaneously. With these three centers as the core, the residential population develops in all directions in suitable places for living, either engaged in agriculture, or Engage in animal husbandry, or engage in fishing.
The development of Liaodong has just begun. Even the population of one million Han people in Liaodong is barely there. However, the huge development potential of Liaodong has obviously only been tapped a little.
The future Ming Dynasty cannot live without Liaodong.
Therefore, while Su Yonglin devoted all his efforts to repairing the Yellow River, he also tilted the policy towards Liaodong and gave Liaodong a lot of benefits. He used grassroots governance tentacles to promote the court's Liaodong policy to all areas controlled by the Renaissance Society, striving to bring more Central Plains people to the area. For the transfer of Liaodong, we can transfer as much as we can.
This policy is working very well.
At this time, Heilongjiang Province reported to Zhongdu that a large-scale iron ore had been discovered. Su Yonglin was very happy and immediately sent professional mining personnel to assist in the exploration to determine the direction of the veins and the reserves of iron ore.
The future industry of the Ming Dynasty might start here.
Su Yonglin is ambitious and is ready to roll up his sleeves and work hard to accumulate enough power for the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Su Yonglin was not happy for long. The Wanggu tribe, which he had just enthroned, sent a message asking for help in late September, saying that they had been jointly attacked by the Kele tribe and the Qiyan tribe, and had lost a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses. and important pastures.
Su Yonglin was furious when he heard the news.
He, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had just ennobled the head of the Wanggu tribe as the Ming Dynasty's general Zhenbei, and incorporated them into the Ming Dynasty's ruling system. As a result, the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe took action against them. What does this mean?
Are you going to slap me in the Ming Dynasty’s face?
Su Yonglin was furious, but still kept calm.
He decided to first send someone to the Wanggu tribe to understand the specific situation, to see what was going on with the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe, and why they launched a war against the Wanggu tribe at this time.
Was it intentional, or was it just looting for the sake of looting without a specific goal?
If it's the former, then there's nothing to say, just prepare a coffin.
If it's the latter, that's still up for debate.
Su Yonglin issued an order to Chang Yuan, the leader of the Skynet Army's Ninth Operation Group who was summoned by him.
"The Ninth Operation Group just completed its expansion a while ago. You will then devote all your energy to the northern grasslands to collect intelligence on the Tatar Tribe, Wanggu Tribe, Kelie Tribe, Qiyan Tribe and other tribes."
Chang Yuan took the order.
"I obey the decree."
"Well, in order to collect intelligence, you need to deal with the prairie people. You can pretend to be merchants to contact them. Of course, if necessary, you can even pretend to look like the prairie people, including your hair... By the way, I will give you an order. , allowing you to change to the prairie hairstyle if necessary."
Su Yonglin wrote down a piece of edict and handed it to Chang Yuan.
Chang Yuan was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, this hair..."
"It is commendable that hair can grow back and is grown for national events. Secret spies who take the initiative to grow hair and go deep into various tribes must be recorded and given priority for promotion and rewards in the future."
Chang Yuan understood Su Yonglin's intention.
"I know, I will take care of it immediately. The ninth operation team will set off as soon as possible and head north."
"It just so happened that the Ming Dynasty began to trade with the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe. The mutual trade between the two sides is an excellent opportunity. You must take this opportunity to go deep into the grassland and collect enough intelligence for the Ming Dynasty. Only rely on those left by the Jin Kingdom. The information is not enough for Ming to understand the grassland."
Su Yonglin nodded and said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and never slack off in a hundred battles. I am afraid that the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe have the same reason, so they only dare to attack the Wanggu tribe to test Ming's attitude. But no matter what, this battle will It must be fought.”
"I understand."
Chang Yuan immediately left with Su Yonglin's order.
After Chang Yuan left, Su Yonglin got up and went to the Staff Council, found Xin Qiji and other staff officers, and discussed this emergency with them.
Xin Qiji's view on this matter is from an economic perspective.
"According to the files left by the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom did have a deep hatred against the Kelie and Qiyan tribes. Several important figures from Kelie and Qiyan died at the hands of the Tatars and Jin people. Although the Ming Dynasty replaced the Jin Kingdom, but they may not necessarily be friendly to Ming Dynasty because of this.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have implemented a blockade policy on the northern grasslands and have not actively contacted them. The original mutual trade has also been terminated, so they must be very short of some necessary daily necessities.
There are some things they can only get from the Central Plains. Once they can't get it, they really can't get it. Under extreme demand, they will definitely find ways to re-obtain these supplies.
Their sneak attack on Wang Gu's tribe this time was probably to test Ming's attitude to see whether Ming would be tough or calm, so as to determine how they would obtain necessary supplies. "
Su Yonglin agreed with Xin Qiji's view.
"I didn't want to have too much contact with the tribes on the grasslands when the Ming Dynasty was first founded, so as not to cause unnecessary problems, but now it seems that the trees are quiet but the wind is not stopping, and their demand for supplies makes them naturally need us.
This need can be achieved peacefully or through war. If they choose peaceful means, such as Tataer and Wanggu, then I think it is not a bad idea, but they chose the latter.
In this case, I understand that these tribes pay attention to the law of the weak and the strong, which is very thorough and without unnecessary emotions. They don’t quite understand the etiquette, justice and integrity, but they definitely understand the roar of the thunder cannon and the sound of the iron horse. . "
The staff officers of the General Staff Council immediately understood what Su Yonglin meant.
They understood that this battle was inevitable.
Now that the other party has made a move, no matter what the reason is, the Ming Dynasty must take the move and give a tough response. Through a war, it will lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to deal with grassland affairs.
Don't be a coward! Just do it!
Only on this point, Su Yonglin decided to inherit the original attitude of the Ming Dynasty.
It doesn’t matter whether your uncle has done it too well or not, just do it first and then talk about it!
Of course, this "Qian" is not necessarily limited to the military aspect. "Qian" can have countless interpretations, and for a country, it can represent thousands of different methods.
As long as you make the other party feel uncomfortable, make the other party feel sick, make the other party angry, or make the other party miserable, any method will do.
This is called [Qian].
Soon, according to the news brought back from the Wanggu tribe by the Honglu Temple officials who went to understand the situation, it was revealed that the Wanggu tribe's request for help was not an unreasonable moan.
They were really robbed of a large piece of pasture by the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe. It was like a piece of flesh being ripped off from a person's body, dripping with blood and suffering unbearable pain.
Not only that, the Wanggu tribe was also robbed of thousands of households and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep, causing extremely heavy losses.
According to Wuge, the leader of the Wanggu tribe, this is because the people of the Kele tribe and the Qiyan tribe do not respect martial ethics and resort to deception and sneak attacks. They say that they are trading, but what they bring is not the goods for trade, but Steel knife.
The Wanggu tribe was caught off guard and had no time to mobilize troops to resist, so they could only rush to fight. As a result, they were defeated miserably by the coalition forces of the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe.
Wuge was furious, but felt that he could not fight the attacks of the two tribes, Klie and Qiyan, on his own, so he could only ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
My little brother was beaten, do you, the boss, want to express his gratitude?
Moreover, you were beaten just after becoming your younger brother. If you, the boss, don't express your feelings, won't everyone look down on you?
How will you, old man, hang out on the grassland in the future?
