Chapter 1498 Great Immigrants from the Western Regions

In the past, because there was no ready-to-apply command system, Su Yonglin used a complete corps to guard the border, replacing the frontier defense command system with the corps command system, which cost a lot of material transportation costs.

Once the border guard command mechanism is established, the number of troops stationed on the border can be reduced, and the organic forces within each corps will be more flexible if they want to maneuver.

And the transportation costs required to transport materials from storage to the border will be greatly reduced, which will save a considerable amount of military spending.

The main force of the army can be stationed and trained in areas rich in products, and the materials can be obtained on the spot, which greatly reduces the cost of logistics and transportation, saves money for the country, and the military tasks can be handed over to the border guards to complete.

The border defense army is not a single organization. Any army can be invested in the border defense army system. It can be more or less, ranging from 3 to 30. It is acceptable within the framework of all parties, and all comers are welcome.

Everyone can have the opportunity to fight, and the military success will be affected by rain and dew, and everyone will have a better tomorrow.

This is a good choice no matter what angle you look at.

So during the war in the Western Regions, Su Yonglin started to prepare for the regularization of this strategy, filled in some details, and took it to the joint military conference to discuss with everyone, brainstorm, and improve the policy.

Finally, at the end of September in the 11th year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin officially decided to implement the border defense army system, and first announced the establishment of the Western Region Frontier Army Command, and appointed Su Haisheng as the first Western Region Frontier Army Commander.

The Border Guard Command has a lot of authority.

The commander of the frontier guards not only has the commanding power of the border guards, but also has the power to quickly mobilize the army to conduct defensive operations and defensive counterattacks.

In addition to taking the initiative to launch a military offensive and entering a foreign country, you need to apply for permission from the imperial court. Under a series of emergencies, the border guard commander can handle it flexibly and act cheaply.

Of course, the Frontier Defense Forces Command will also set up a complete political department and a staff department, which are all available.

The entire Border Guard Command is independent from the Corps, which enables this Border Guard Command to have all the capabilities to quickly and flexibly execute any military mission.

This is a brand-new department that needs to be established under the new background of the Ming army's outward development and output of influence.

At present, there are not many places to set up frontier defense headquarters, one is needed in the northern grassland area, one is needed in the Annan area, and one will be needed after the pacification of Dali in the future. A total of four is enough.

At present, the war in the Ming Kingdom has basically ended, the operation of suppressing bandits and countering rebellion has basically ended, and the progress of the land revolution has almost been advanced. At present, there is only one finishing work left, and the army needed for external deterrence is not enough. It takes too much.

Overall, for a long time to come, the main tasks within the Ming Kingdom are revolutionary education and economic construction, rather than military affairs, and military tasks will mainly take place outside the country.

In Central Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, as well as Japan, if the future great voyage is advanced to other continents, military operations will also be advanced at any time.

Therefore, whether in the short term or in the medium and long term, Central Asia has always been a key area for the deployment of Ming military power. As the military chief of this region, Su Haisheng's position is very important.

This Merzug is also a straight-forward fight. He happened to meet Su Haisheng, so he came over and wanted to have a relationship with Su Haisheng. Su Haisheng thought that he might be useful to him in the future, so he accepted his offer, and the two sides thought of it together.

In any case, the war is temporarily over, and the armistice treaty between Ming and the Gul Dynasty has also been signed.

The Ming Kingdom won a complete victory, further establishing its unshakable hegemony in Central Asia. All the unified countries in Central Asia have been beaten by the Ming Kingdom. The rebels have disappeared, and the rest are all. is a respectful one.

With the inclination of a large amount of resources in the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions and Central Asia, a large amount of human and material resources began to be transferred to the Western Regions.

The Zhongdu court began to issue immigration recruitment orders, willing to recruit people willing to immigrate to Anxi Province and Beiting Province with favorable immigration conditions, including but not limited to tax exemption, housing, spouse allocation, etc. Yes, the Zhongdu court is not stingy.

From departure to settlement and settlement in the settlement, all expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation are borne by the Central Capital court, and the people do not need to pay a penny for this. As long as people are willing to go, the court can provide them with what they need.

The Propaganda Department of the Revival Society also went full steam ahead and began to publicize the Western Regions migration nationwide, calling on the revolutionary masses to emigrate to the Western Regions for Daming’s revolutionary cause, multiply in the Western Regions, have offspring, and completely capture the Western Regions for Daming’s revolutionary cause. Hands become native and contribute.

During this process, someone proposed to set a minimum standard line for each province or prefecture, and let the local government follow this minimum standard line to mobilize the population. This proposal was supported by some people, but was angered and opposed by Su Yonglin.

"If you set a minimum standard line, then the situation will be completely different. What is the difference between letting the government force people to move to the Western Regions in order to achieve the minimum standard line, and the old army recruiting strong men and forcibly recruiting people? Confused!"

Su Yonglin trained the proponents and supporters again, asking them to write an inspection to the Supervision Department of the Revival Society, and fined them a month's salary as punishment.

So no one talks about it anymore.

"What we need to pay attention to is the principle of voluntary, absolutely voluntary, without this absolutely voluntary principle, then things that we don't want to see will inevitably lead to things that we don't want to see, and maybe there will be protests. Is this what we should do?

We Chinese people pay attention to the fact that it is difficult to leave a homeland and return to its roots. It is very difficult for them to leave their hometown and move to another place. It is precisely because of the difficulty that we are asked to do work and mobilize. Isn’t it just for now? ? "

Su Yonglin once again conveyed the voluntary principle to every part of the country, asking officials across the country to implement it, no matter how much, as long as it is voluntary.

And before the volunteers pack up and prepare to move to the Western Regions, and before they actually board the car prepared by the government and leave their hometown, the government will ask them three times if they are willing, especially before boarding the car, and ask them one last time.

During these three inquiries, if they ever regretted it once, they should be recognized and allowed to do so, but after boarding the car prepared by the government, they cannot regret it.

After getting on the bus, you have already started to enjoy the food, clothing, housing, and transportation provided by the court. If you go back on it, you will breach the contract, and you will be punished by the government, fined, and fined in real money.

So first say everything that needs to be said, first clarify all the conditions, don't cheat, don't deceive, don't deceive, and be honest, then even if the person who repents is fined, there will be no The resentment, at most, a few dirty words on the mouth.

At the same time, in order to make more people willing to accept it, Su Yonglin also decided to set a three-year period.

That is to say, during the three-year tax-free period, the household registration is still kept in the place of origin. If those who move to the Western Regions really don’t like the days in the Western Regions, then after the three-year tax-free period, they can apply to the government to return to their hometown. stop.

With this permission, Su Yonglin felt that it would be easier to recruit people to go to the Western Regions, instead of making people look ahead.

Facts have also proved that this permission clause has greatly solved the people's concerns about the future. year.

If you can't hold on, you can't hold on, you will go back directly after three years. Every time you come and go, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all contracted by the court, and there is a three-year tax holiday, which means that you don't need to spend much money for these three years.

What's wrong with this?

There are basics about clothing, food, housing, and transportation, the basics of court policies, and the promises of the government, which has always been very trustworthy. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing to deceive people.

The folk credibility accumulated by the Ming court over the years by focusing on credibility and doing practical things played a great role at this time.

There are people who are unwilling to go, but there is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty is lying and deceiving.
