Qiming 1158

Chapter 1427 Development of Industrial City
The former Liaodong Corps and the current Fifth Corps under the command of Su Jue are the main battle corps in the Ming army.

Its predecessor was the main force of the Restoration Army, which followed Su Jue and Sun Ziyi to the north to crusade the Jin Army in the Yanyun area, and had rich combat experience.

Later, Wanyanyong established another regime of the Kingdom of Jin in the Liaodong area. It was Su Jue who led the Fifth Corps to wipe out Wanyan Yong. Afterwards, facing the nomads and Jurchen remnants in the Liaodong area, Su Jue passed a period of several years. More than 70 battles of different sizes, all of them were wiped out.

Those half-civilized or uncivilized fishing and hunting people living in the Xing'an Mountains and the Ussuri River area are actually quite strong, and they are familiar with the terrain.

After Su Jue tried several times, he could only give up the Huairou method and switch to iron serum.

Facts have proved that iron serum suppression is more useful.

A year after the Qing Suppression, some tribes who were not willing to communicate with the Ming army also began to actively want to communicate with the Ming army, but at that time, the Ming army had completely occupied the advantage in Liaodong.

The Ming army dispatched squads of rangers to carry out non-stop harassment operations against rival tribes, burning forests with kerosene, blowing up their bases with powerful gunpowder, and constantly building military fortresses, cities, and land reclamation.

In this way, the Ming army compressed and eroded their living space bit by bit, so that they had to choose to fight to the death or surrender.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Su Jue led an army across the sea and landed on Sakhalin Island after pacifying the savage, uncivilized and very powerful Jurchen tribe and other unknown tribes in the outer Xing'an Mountains and the Ussuri River. In the folklore of Eastern Liaoning, the big island was brought under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and Sakhalin was set up to manage it.

Since then, the Liaodong region as a whole has been brought under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and Su Jue and the Fifth Corps have made great contributions.

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. good.

The development and control of the entire Liaodong region depended on the day and night struggles of the Fifth Corps.

After the war was basically over, the soldiers of the Fifth Corps also made a lot of contributions in the development process of Liaodong.

Many injured or older soldiers responded to the call of Su Yonglin from the Central Capital, retired on the spot, changed jobs on the spot, and became workers in grass-roots villages, making great contributions to the immigration cause in eastern Liaoning.

The reason why nearly 400 million people in the Liaodong region now live and work in peace and contentment is due to these retired soldiers.

In terms of population distribution, Liaoyang Province has a population of more than 300 million, and Heilongjiang Province has a population of less than 100 million. There is a problem with the population distribution, but there is no way around it.

It's cold, really cold.

Due to the severe cold climate, there are many obstacles in agricultural production. Many cold-resistant and high-yield 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 get up.

This is actually in line with the climate of this era.

During the Tang Dynasty, the climate in the northern hemisphere was very warm, so a powerful regime such as the Tubo Empire could be bred on the plateau, and a powerful Goguryeo with 60 soldiers could emerge in Liaodong, all of which depended on the suitable weather brought by the warm climate conditions of agricultural production.

However, once the climate turns cold, such production conditions will no longer exist, and the civilization will also decline. The remnants of the civilization will either go south to the Central Plains to mix with the Han Chinese, or stay there and degenerate into a fishing and hunting civilization.

It's not that they don't want to farm, it's that the climate doesn't allow it.

The current Heilongjiang province also has such a trend. Many places are not suitable for farming, there are few areas suitable for farming, and the population carrying capacity is limited.

Considering these problems, in order to ensure the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Liaodong, Su Yonglin developed animal husbandry and sent a large number of people to look for minerals in Liaodong.

He intends to replace agricultural settlements with the discovered mining areas to become population settlements, develop industrial settlements, further develop into industrial cities, retain people, and expand the scale of residents.

As for the food issue, the big deal is to transfer food to Liaodong. Although the price is not low, this strategic treasure cannot be thrown away.

Fortunately, the climate in recent years has been good, and most areas in Liaoyang Province can grow food crops. Although there are few places where food can be grown in Heilongjiang Province, the population is also small, which can carry and retain people.

Compared with the land of the Western Regions and future plans that have not yet been occupied, the current land of Liaodong and the Fifth Corps have more flavors of production and construction corps.

To say that there has been a lot of investment in the Liaodong area in recent years, a large amount of budget has been thrown into Liaodong, which has laid a financial foundation for the construction of cities and the development of human settlements in Liaodong. However, if you want to develop here, sometimes you really need See if God appreciates it.

But the crusade against Goryeo doesn't need to look at the face of God, and the fifth army, which has not fought for a long time, should be very happy when an order is passed on.

Xin Qiji took a professional staff team to make a preliminary strategic plan at a very fast speed, and the rest required the Skynet Army spies to send a large amount of relevant information back to the Central Capital, so that the staff headquarters could make a judgment.

Su Yonglin participated in the whole discussion. From the morning to the evening, after having a simple working meal with the big guys, we discussed together until late at night, discussing the logistics and transportation of this battle and the administrative arrangements after the control of Goryeo. .

Specifically, it is to follow the path of Xixia. First, under the banner of the King of Goryeo, the actual power is in hand, and then Goryeo is attached, and it is logical to become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

How to select officials to enter Korea, how to establish grass-roots organizations, how to go deep into the Korean people and communicate with the people, etc., all require detailed work plans.

In this regard, Su Yonglin is everyone's grandfather, and he is also the best design expert. Everyone is willing to listen to him.

There are many related issues, which are very complicated. Su Yonglin and his subordinates discussed it until late at night, then dragged a tired body back to the bedroom, and agreed to continue the discussion early the next morning.

When she returned, Zhao Xirui had already arranged for her two sons to sleep, and made a bowl of soup for Su Yonglin herself, waiting for Su Yonglin to come back to eat.

"I'll definitely be back very late when I go out. You still have work to do in the Women's Ministry and the cultural and art troupe, and you have to take care of the children. You need to rest early. There's no need to wait for me all the time."

Although Su Yonglin said so, but after drinking a bowl of hot soup, his heart was also warm.
