Chapter 580
Jizhou Town can be said to be the most important border town among the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty.

Because it is only two hundred miles away from the Daming capital, once Jizhou Town falls, the Daming capital will have to face the enemy's soldiers.

Historically, Jizhou Town was like a sieve, Jiannu didn't know how many times they entered here.

Many people say that this is Yuan Chonghuan's responsibility, which is really wronged Yuan Chonghuan.

No matter how capable he is, or what he has done, Jianu's entry from Jizhou Town into Kou Capital really has nothing to do with him.

If you insist that it has something to do with him, then it has something to do with Jianu's first entry into Jizhou Town.

Because after Jiannu entered Jizhou Town for the first time, he was hacked into pieces, and it really had nothing to do with Jiannu entering from Jizhou Town five times later.

This also proves from the side that it is a bit absurd to use this as an excuse to cut him into pieces.

He was hacked into pieces, and the slaves who built slaves continued to invade from Jizhou Town. Can you blame him?
Moreover, the lessons learned from the first invasion of the bandits are there, and Jizhou Town can't keep it, so who is to blame?
In the next five times when slaves were established and invaded by bandits, no one was hacked to pieces!
Of course, this is all history. Now, it is impossible for Jiannu to enter the capital through Jizhou Town. On the contrary, it is Daming who sent troops from Jizhou Town to conquer the outside of the Great Wall.

On the gate tower of the north gate of Jizhou City, Taichang looked at the vast mountains to the north, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Isn't this good? Why did the emperor suddenly sigh.

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong hurriedly and carefully asked: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Alas, you don't know what happened here in history.

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, I just lament that it is not easy to defend the important town on the nine borders."

Who said no.

The Nine Frontiers town stretched from Liaodong to the Western Regions, covering tens of thousands of miles, and the nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall were dominated by cavalry, who came and went like the wind. It was not easy to defend such a long line of defense.

Sun Chengzong couldn't help sighing: "Yes, so, I hope that I can eliminate Jiannu in my lifetime, except for this hidden danger. In this way, the nine borders of Ming Dynasty will be much safer."

Your ambition is a bit small.

Taichang suddenly asked: "Zhisheng, do you think Jiannu plus the Mongolian and Yuan tribes have a population of 300 million?"

What is the emperor trying to do?
Sun Chengzong said cautiously: "The current population of Jiannu should be less than 50. For the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, it depends on how to count. If you only count Monan, it may be less than 200 million. If you count Mobei and even Hanhai On top of that, I’m afraid it’s more than 300 million.”

More than 300 million?

very good!

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Then this time we will wipe out all the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, first clear the Monan, Mobei and Hanhai, and then slowly migrate the population from the Nine Sides. In this way, the Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty will not need Guarded, because outside the Great Wall are all our people."

Oh my god, isn't your majesty too cruel?

Sun Chengzong thought that Taichang was going to recruit ruthless people and kill all the old, young, women and children when there was no way to wipe out Jiannu and Mongolian Yuan cavalry!
Doing this will indeed eliminate the Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, because without the old, young, women and children, the family will not be able to reproduce.

The problem is that it is too cruel to do this. In all dynasties, no emperor has ever done it like this.

He thought about it carefully, and persuaded cautiously: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you may be infamous through the ages. Why don't we think of other ways?"

What eternal infamy?
You don't think I want to kill all these people, do you?
Taichang looked at the tent on the flat ground outside the city, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Zhensheng, you misunderstood, I just wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you in advance, the big tent is set up, let's go, we Go to the account to discuss."

surprise?

What surprise?
Sun Chengzong was confused and followed Taichang to the big tent.

This large tent is a large tent specially made by the Ministry of Industry for Taichang. The space inside is more than 200 square meters, and all kinds of facilities are quite complete, even a conference table with a width of several feet and a length of several feet.

In the past, it was impossible to carry such a large tent when marching and fighting. As for the tables and chairs, they could only bring the ones a few feet in size.

Because it is too big to fit in the carriage.

This is also the fundamental reason why everyone sits on the ground in the general big tent. In order to save trouble, it is rare to bring tables, chairs and benches when marching and fighting.

However, this time is different, because now there are infantry fighting vehicles.

The space inside the infantry fighting vehicle is very large, and things several feet long can be stuffed into it.

Of course, Taichang would not order someone to directly make a large table several feet long and stuff it inside the infantry fighting vehicle. If so, there would be no way for people to sit in the infantry fighting vehicle.

This large conference table is actually a combination, that is, it is composed of many wooden boards and brackets. When it is transported, it can be disassembled and stacked together without taking up much space.

As for why he ordered someone to bring such a large conference table, it was mainly because the map was getting bigger and more detailed at the moment, and a table that was too small could not be spread out at all.

After Taichang entered the account, he ordered Cao Huachun to fetch the latest "Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu" and spread it on the conference table.

Sun Chengzong looked at the detailed color map and couldn't help admiring: "Master Li is really amazing. The map drawn is detailed and clear. Compared with the previous maps, I don't know how many times better."

Li Zhizao's map drawing is indeed a masterpiece.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, Zhenzhi's map is indeed well drawn. A dynasty needs talents in all aspects if it wants to prosper. It is actually wrong to favor literature or martial arts. Especially at this time, we must pay special attention to science talents. "

Uh, why did the emperor tell me how to govern the country?
I'm just a war supervisor now!
Sun Chengzong is inexplicable, he doesn't know how to reply to these words.

He thought for a while, but he could only bow his hands and say: "The emperor is wise."

There is a reason why Taichang is so inexplicable, because at the moment he is thinking about the fiefdom.

He had already granted fiefdoms to those meritorious ministers, this time, he just took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the slaves, and dealt with the issue of the fiefdoms together.

He pointed directly at the new Jingzhou mansion on the map and said, "Zhisheng, you haven't been to this new Jingzhou mansion, have you?"

Sun Chengzong was a little dazed, he was carefully looking at Monan, Mobei and Hanhai in the north, but the emperor suddenly pointed to the extreme south which was tens of thousands of miles away.

Let alone the new Jingzhou mansion, this is the first time he saw it on the map.

He could only nod honestly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen this official of the new Jingzhou Mansion on the map."

Taichang couldn't help sighing: "This New Jingzhou Mansion is not so big. Strictly speaking, none of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were as big as the New Jingzhou Mansion, and this New Jingzhou Mansion is rich in minerals, fertile land, and grasslands are more It's vast and boundless, here, it's really a good place!"

Your majesty, what are you talking about?

Sun Chengzong couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, is this new Jingzhou Mansion related to the elimination of Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes?"

Unexpectedly, Taichang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, this new Jingzhou mansion has a lot to do with the elimination of Jiannu and the Mengyuan tribes. Go open up wasteland, dig mines, raise cattle and sheep.”

That's what happened.

If all the people from Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes were pulled thousands of miles away, then this important town on the nine borders would indeed be safe, because there would be no nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall!
However, doing so seems to create new problems.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, the Jiannu and the Meng Yuan tribes are not very peaceful. If they are dragged to the New Jingzhou Mansion, they will definitely find a way to occupy there. Trouble."

Taichang nodded again and again and said: "You are right. We must be careful about this kind of thing. Therefore, I am going to move all the Liaodong Tunwei there. You see which place is more suitable, and I will seal it for you again. Liao State Mansion, from now on, your Liao State Dukes will be responsible for helping me guard this new Jingzhou Mansion, to house Jiannu and the Mongol and Yuan tribes."

what?
Sun Chengzong couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this.

This is really a surprise, but the surprise is also too big.

He was stunned for a while, and then he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called no reward for no merit, you suddenly gave me the title of duke of the state, and also gave you fiefdoms, me, I really can't bear it." what!"

What is this.

Taichang said indifferently: "Don't worry, you are not the only one who will be entrusted this time. Zixian and Menghou will all be entrusted together. A place as big as the New Jingzhou Mansion just happens to be divided into several duke mansions. However, They are all civil servants, and they will definitely not be able to suppress Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, so you have to go over there to sit in charge."

Oh, it turns out that Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang will be entrusted together, so there will be no criticism.

As for leading the army to suppress Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, this is his duty. He has been guarding Liaodong for several years, and he has long been used to it.

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
