The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and other Jurchen tribes who submitted to the Ming Dynasty watched helplessly as the Ming Dynasty army swept across the Northeast and attacked the barbarian Jurchen and some Haixi Jurchen in the Songhua River, Heilongjiang, Nenjiang and other river basins. The killings were fierce and the methods cruel. , the violent purge could not help but give rise to fear and uneasiness.
The Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens thought: They were born from the same roots, but he died too hastily.
They were worried that the Ming army was using Jurchen as a label to kill people, and they were even more worried that Yang Wen and others would go crazy and kill their own tribe, and then they would die without a sound.
In order to protect his own tribe, and to prevent Yang Wen, Mao Zheng, Hua Ju and others from pursuing and killing the Jurchens, Aha, the leader of the Jurchen Huli tribe in Jianzhou, came out, and Meng, the leader of the Oduoli tribe, The leaders of Ge Timur and Tuo Wen called their brothers, Xiyang Ha, the leader of the Haixi Jurchens, and Maili, the leader of the Barbarian Jurchens, wrote letters one after another and went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty together.
Now, these people have arrived outside Jinling.
It was not possible to see Zhu Yunwen. On the one hand, he arranged for the Ministry of Rites and Huitong Hall to entertain him well, and on the other hand, he discussed countermeasures with the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army.
??????????????????The Ministry of War Minister Tie Xuan's suggestion is to receive him well and send him back well. As for the matter in the Northeast, Yang Wen and the others have not sent a document to end the war, how can they stop it? Come down and keep fighting.
Xu Huizu's thoughts were similar to Tie Xuan's. If he wanted to fight, he would achieve peace once and for all. No matter what the surrendered Jurchen tribes thought, they would fight to the end and never give up halfway.
Cabinet Jie Jin was more cautious and believed that while fighting against the Barbarian Jurchen tribes, more efforts should be made to appease them to prevent the Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen tribes from "surrendering first and then rebelling", causing chaos in the Northeast.
Yang Shiqi’s proposition is just one word:
drag.
Zhu Yunwen took Yang Shiqi's suggestion and once again "fell ill" in the palace. Although Ahachu, Mengge Timur and others were anxious, they could not see the emperor, so they had to wait.
Time passed day by day, and it was seven days in the blink of an eye. After receiving the latest report from the Liaodong Dusi, Zhu Yunwen finally "recovered from his serious illness" and hosted a banquet in the palace for the heads of various ministries in honor of the woman, accompanied by a group of officials.
After some etiquette, Aha came out to look at Zhu Yunwen, who had an unhappy face, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and don't overwork yourself..."
Haixi Jurchen has surrendered to the imperial court and serves as an official in the Ming Dynasty Guards. There is nothing wrong with calling her the emperor. What's more, this is A Xiaomu's godfather, and he can be considered a relative of the emperor.
Zhu Yunwen sighed weakly: "I just suffered from the heat, and I'm not seriously injured anymore. I just feel guilty because I have burdened you with commanding Marquis Shi Jiu."
When Meng Ge Timur, Huan Di and others heard this, they were so angry that it was not easy to get angry, so they had to hope that Zhu Yunwen would rest for a while against his will.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to continue to delay, but these people have been staying in the capital. It is not appropriate for more than 200 people to always eat for nothing. In addition, the overall situation in Northeast China has been decided, and these people should go back to work.
"You are all important ministers of the Liaodong Guard. It affects the stability of one party. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Zhu Yunwen was very candid.
Maili wailed and started crying, sobbing, her nose twitching, and her face covered with tears. She was so sad that it seemed like the whole family was tragic.
In fact, Maili did lose a loved one.
The tribe in Maili was one of the few barbarian Jurchen tribes that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In terms of the order of submission, this was the first Jurchen tribe in the Jianwen Dynasty to submit to the Ming Dynasty, earlier than Aha.
But the tribe in Maili migrated to the south, and some relatives are still in the north. For example, Maili's wife was born in a savage Jurchen tribe in the Songhua River. Now her wife is still there, and her entire family was killed by Yang Wen.
His wife asked Maili to avenge her family and settle the score with Yang Wen. As a result, Maili was locked up at home and refused to go out. But a man cannot live without his wife, and Maili was not willing to stay alone in an empty house all the time. In addition, Yang Wen was in the Northeast. The massacre was quite severe. Almost all males over the age of eight were killed, leaving a bunch of women and children as trophies for the sergeants.
In fact, Maili was not the only one who was sad and wanted to cry. Others were also very sad.
More than half of the Haixi Jurchens surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and some Jurchens did not surrender. However, because the two tribes were too close, Mao Zheng took the wrong path when killing people, and destroyed both the small tribes that surrendered and the small tribes that did not surrender.
This is a bit of an indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
And Huaju, they really killed them all. Yang Wen and Mao used infantry to slowly sneak forward, but Huaju led them. The cavalry, when encountering the fleeing Jurchen tribe, chased them for hundreds of miles and would not withdraw their troops until they killed everyone.
Of course, these things have little to do with the Jianzhou Jurchens in the south. Ahachu, Mengge Timur and others came here more out of their own safety considerations to ask Zhu Yunwen if he wanted to destroy the Jurchens as a whole. All members of the clan have been killed. If so, they can just kill them all together in the capital. If not, then the wild Jurchen should be given a chance to live.
Ahachu and others knew that the Savage Jurchens were gone, the Haixi Jurchens were crippled, and the Ming Dynasty would no longer have any scruples in controlling the Northeast. By then, whether the Jianzhou Jurchens would survive or not would depend on Zhu Yunwen's mood.
The fish on the chopping board didn't even have the right to stop the knife from falling. Everyone comes to the capital together. In the final analysis, it is not others who are crying, but one who is crying.
The tragedies perpetrated by the Liaodong Governor were revealed, and the Ministry of War gasped in anger. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army also became angry. The cabinet condemned it, and the Sixth Ministry even jumped out to impeach. After a good meal, it became a criticism meeting like a vegetable market. .
Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at everyone: "Does Commander Yang Du really indulge in military discipline like this?"
Xu Huizu rubbed his face, whether to indulge or not, Your Majesty, you still don’t know, but they followed your order to clean the holes in Liting. However, in order to cooperate, he still stood up and took responsibility: "Your Majesty, the local governors have failed in their duties, which means that the Fifth Army Governor's Office has failed in its duties. I also ask the emperor to convict you. I ask the emperor to select officials to investigate the Northeast. If Yang Du commanded Shi to commit such atrocities, he should be punished. He will be escorted to Beijing for questioning."
Chen Xingshan, the Minister of Rites, really impeached him: "Yang Wen is unethical and will harm the peace of the world. The emperor immediately ordered Yang Wen to be transferred back to him and interrogated whether he violated military discipline and indulged in military discipline."
Tie Xuan glanced at the confused Chen Xingshan. Didn't he know that what Zhu Yunwen wanted was the land in the Northeast, not the Jurchens in the Northeast?
Seeing the support of the courtiers, Timur, the fierce brother, criticized Yang Wen more and more, and quickly got the leaders of the Jurchen tribes to second the proposal.
Zhu Yunwen did not refuse and looked at Tie Xuan: "Order the Liaodong Capital Division to stop the campaign, and transfer Yang Wen, Hua Ju, and Mao Zheng to return to the capital to cooperate with the investigation. In addition, transfer Shengyong to temporarily take charge of the Liaodong Capital Division to appease the Jurchen tribes."
Ahachu, Mengge Timur and others were overjoyed and praised Zhu Yunwen for being a saint.
Jie Jin looked at this group of smiling Jurchen leaders and agreed with their views - Zhu Yunwen Shengming.
Zhu Yunwen only said that Yang Wen and the other three people would be transferred back to Beijing, but he did not say that they would be dismissed from their official positions, nor would he interrogate them. He only said that they would cooperate with the investigation. Besides, the 800-mile expedited trip from the capital to Liaodong takes more than half a month. Now it is possible to send the letter in one month through normal channels.
Yang Wen sent a document, saying that Sakhalin is under control. The basic battle foundation is basic. All that is left is to deal with the remaining defeated soldiers and give him a month to clean up. By the time the document arrives, the Northeast War will have ended long ago.
Now that the battle is over, it is time for Yang Wen, Mao Zheng, Hua Ju and others to return to the capital to report on their work and the situation. Now it is just a different excuse to let them come back.
Zhu Yunwen smiled happily and did not forget to comfort him: "Don't worry, as long as you surrender to the Ming Dynasty and obey the court's orders, you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty. I will not harm the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never allow anyone to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Aha was relieved, Meng brother Timur was relieved, and the other Jurchen leaders were also satisfied. They all had enough to eat and drink, and went back to the same dormitory to sleep. But Zhu Yunwen did not rest, but discussed the Northeast issue with the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

Yang Shiqi added: "Your Majesty, Yang Du commanded Shi to move the troops very quickly. It only took three months to eliminate most of the savage Jurchen tribes in the Northeast and station the troops on Sakhalin Island. However, although the land was obtained, the Northeast was vast and sparsely populated, and the population was extremely scarce. , which is not conducive to long-term governance. Please prepare in advance to immigrate outside the customs."
Tie Xuan was a little worried: "It's June now. Even if we mobilize immigrants, it will still take more than half a year. If we act in a hurry, we may hurt the people."
Yang Shiqi agreed and said: "So we should learn from Shanxi's immigration experience and shortcomings to prepare for immigration in advance, plan people's residences, build houses, prepare timber, and allocate cotton, grain, agricultural tools and other materials."
“Do you want to check in with your bags?”
Zhu Yun murmured.
Xie Jin heard this and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by moving in with your bags?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned and explained with a smile: "What I mean is that as long as people bring simple packages, they can move in directly after arriving at the place without purchasing other supplies. What Yang Shiqi said is that immigration to the Northeast is related to the long-term stability of the Foreign Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The northeastern black land is a large granary. We should prepare for immigration as early as possible without delay. We order the Ministry of Household Affairs and the local chief envoy to fully cooperate."
Everyone took orders.
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while and continued: "This time I migrate to the Northeast, east of Shanhaiguan, let's call it the Guandong Immigration Plan."
Break into Guandong!
Northeastern people have an aggressive spirit in their bones. Isn’t this spirit the backbone forged by the wind and snow in those days?
Zhu Yunwen did not want to cater to the "Northeast and Half Shandong", but the only province with a large population suitable for large-scale immigration to the north is Shandong. If not talking about other things, let me just say that Liaodong is also the territory of the Chief Envoy of Shandong. You If no one comes out, who will come out...
The Northeast needs development, and both military and civilian villages need to keep up.
Zhu Yunwen did not rush to issue immigration documents, but summoned Shandong Chief Envoy Li Yanzhen, counselor Feng Zheng, and Kong Gongjian of the Kong family to discuss immigration and Northeastern matters.
Although the Kong family has been hammered many times in history, Zhu Yunwen still had to use this hammer.
After all, a hammer is a tool.
