The former Liaodong Corps, now the Fifth Corps, commanded by Su Jue, is a well-known main battle corps in the Ming army.
Its predecessor was the main force of the Liberation Army that followed Su Jue and Sun Tzu Yi north to attack the Jin Army in the Yanyun area. It has rich combat experience.
Later, Wanyanyong established another Jin Kingdom regime in the Liaodong region. It was Su Jue who led the Fifth Corps to eliminate Wanyanyong. Afterwards, facing the nomadic people and the remaining Jurchen forces in the Liaodong region, Su Jue passed a period of several years. They fought more than seventy times, large and small, and wiped them all out.
The semi-civilized or uncivilized fishing and hunting people living in the Xing'an Mountains and Wusuli River areas are actually quite strong and familiar with the terrain. They are very hostile to the appearance of the Ming army, resist it to the death, and do not communicate with the Ming army at all.
After several attempts, Su Jue had no choice but to give up his gentle methods and switch to iron serum suppression.
Facts have proven that iron serum suppression is more effective.
One year after the Qing Dynasty, some tribes that were originally unwilling to communicate with the Ming army began to actively want to communicate with the Ming army. However, by that time, the Ming army had completely gained the upper hand in Liaodong.
The Ming army sent out squads of Rangers to carry out non-stop raids on hostile tribes, burning forests with kerosene, blowing up their bases with powerful gunpowder, and constantly building military fortresses, cities and reclaimed land.
In this way, the Ming army gradually compressed and eroded their living space, forcing them to choose to fight to the death or surrender.
In the seventh year of Hongwu, Su Jue led an army across the sea to land on Sakhalin Island after pacifying the barbaric, uncivilized and powerful Jurchen tribe and other unidentified tribes in the Waixing'an Mountains and Ussuri River area. The large island in Liaodong folklore was included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty and was managed by Sakhalin State.
Since then, the entire Liaodong region has been brought under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, with Su Jue and the Fifth Corps taking the greatest credit.
Therefore, although the Fifth Corps is not well-known in the national strategy and has not participated in many large-scale wars, the Fifth Corps has fought in Liaodong for many years. It has rich combat experience in high latitude areas such as Northeast China and has maintained its combat effectiveness very well. good.
The development and control of the entire Liaodong region relies on the day and night struggle of the Fifth Corps.
After the war was basically over, the soldiers of the Fifth Corps also made a lot of contributions during the development process of Liaodong.
Many injured or older soldiers responded to the call of Zhongdu Su Yonglin, retired on the spot, changed jobs on the spot, and became grassroots rural workers, making great contributions to the immigration cause in Liaodong area.
The reason why nearly four million people in Liaodong now live and work in peace and contentment here is largely due to these retired soldiers.
In terms of population distribution, Liaoyang Province has a population of about three million, and Heilongjiang Province has a population of less than one million. There is a bit of a problem in population distribution, but there is nothing that can be done about it.
It's cold, really cold.
Due to the severe cold climate, there are considerable obstacles to agricultural production. Many cold-resistant and high-yielding crops have not yet been introduced to China. Even if there is good fertile land in the Northeast, the effective utilization rate is very low. Therefore, the population of Heilongjiang Province is basically Can't go up.
This is actually very consistent with the climate environment of this era.
During the Tang Dynasty, the climate in the northern hemisphere was very warm, so powerful regimes like the Tubo Empire were born on the plateau, and the powerful Goguryeo with 600,000 troops emerged in Liaodong. This all relied on the favorable conditions brought by the warm climate. agricultural production conditions.
However, once the climate turned cold, such production conditions no longer existed, and the civilization declined accordingly. The remnants of the civilization would either go south to the Central Plains and mix with the Han people, or they would stay in the local area and degenerate into a fishing and hunting civilization.
It’s not that they don’t want to farm, but the climate doesn’t allow it.
The current Heilongjiang Province also has this trend. Many places are not suitable for farming. There are very few areas suitable for farming and the population carrying capacity is limited.
Considering these problems, in order to ensure the Ming Dynasty's rule over Liaodong, Su Yonglin developed animal husbandry while also sending a large number of people to search for minerals in Liaodong.
He planned to use the discovered mining areas to replace agricultural settlements into population settlements, develop industrial settlements, and further develop into industrial cities, retain people, and expand the size of the residents.
As for the food issue, the worst possible outcome is to transfer the food to Liaodong. Although the cost is not low, this strategic treasure cannot be thrown away.
Fortunately, the climate in recent years has been acceptable, and food crops can be grown in most areas of Liaoyang Province. Although there are few places where food can be grown in Heilongjiang Province, the population is also small, so it can support and retain people.
Compared with the unoccupied Western Region land and future plans, the current Liaodong land and the Fifth Corps have more of a production and construction corps flavor.
There has been a lot of investment in Liaodong in recent years. A large amount of budget has been invested in Liaodong, which has laid a financial foundation for the construction of cities and the development of human settlements in Liaodong. However, if it wants to develop here, sometimes it really needs to be done. It depends on whether God will reward you or not.
But the crusade against Goryeo does not need to depend on God's face. If an order is passed down, the Fifth Corps, which has not fought for a long time, will be very happy.
Xin Qiji led a professional staff team to formulate a preliminary strategic plan at an extremely fast speed. The rest was to ask the Skynet Army spies to send a large amount of relevant information back to the Central Capital for the staff headquarters to make a judgment.
Su Yonglin participated in the entire discussion. He was busy from morning to evening. After having a simple working meal with everyone, they discussed together until late at night, discussing the logistics and transportation issues of this battle and the administrative arrangements after taking control of Goryeo. .
Specifically, it is to follow the path of Xixia, first taking the actual power in hand under the banner of the King of Koryo, and then Goryeo will be included, and it will naturally become a province of the Ming Dynasty.
How to select officials to enter Goryeo, how to establish grassroots organizations, how to go deep into Goryeo and communicate with the people, etc., all require detailed work plans.
In this regard, Su Yonglin is everyone's ancestor, he is also the best design expert, and everyone is willing to listen to him.
There were many related issues and they were very complicated. Su Yonglin and his subordinates discussed it until late at night, then dragged his exhausted body back to the palace, and agreed to come early the next morning to continue the discussion.
When she returned, Zhao Xirui had already put her two sons to bed. She made a bowl of soup for Su Yonglin and waited for Su Yonglin to come back to eat.
"I will definitely not be back until very late when I go out. You still have work in the women's department and the cultural troupe to do, and you have to take care of the children. You should go to bed early. There is no need to wait for me all the time."
Although Su Yonglin said this, after drinking a bowl of hot soup, his heart felt warm.
