Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 581
In the big tent, a group of civil servants and military generals gathered.

This time, Taichang not only recruited generals such as Zu Dashou, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin, and Sun Zushou, but also civil servants such as Sun Chengzong, Bi Maokang, Lu Xiangsheng, Nan Juyi, and Cheng Jiashuo.

This is a bit strange.

Of course everyone knows that the emperor is going to go on an expedition outside the Great Wall to clean up the slaves. The question is, why did the civil servants come here for the war.

If only Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng were the only ones, it would be understandable, because one of them is the governor of Ji Liao, and the other is the governor of the infantry. They are both commanders of the army. Minister of the Ministry of War, although he is not good at fighting, he is still very good at logistics.

Question, why did the emperor recruit civil servants such as Bi Maokang and Cheng Jiashuo?

Bi Maokang, Cheng Jiashuo and the others looked at the map beyond the Great Wall on the conference table in a daze.

It's not that they don't know anything about marching and fighting. The problem is that they are not as good as Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng.

Does the emperor still need to consult their opinions?

There is a reason why Taichang recruited these civil servants.

He coughed slightly, then pointed to the map and said solemnly: "Everyone should know that after the beginning of spring, we will go on an expedition beyond the Great Wall. This time, we will completely solve the problems of Jiannu and the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. Zhenhe After discussing it with Zhisheng, the only way to completely solve the problems of these nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall is to use the best solution."

Ah!
Desperate plan?

This is not a good plan.

This plan of extermination is too vicious, and it will be infamous for thousands of years.

All civil servants and generals looked at Sun Chengzong in shock when they heard the words.

This means, probably asking people, what's the matter with you, why did you offer such a poisonous trick to the emperor?

Sun Chengzong is so helpless, I didn't come up with this strategy, okay? The emperor himself came up with it.

Besides, this plan of exterminating the family is not an ordinary plan of exterminating the family, and it is not vicious.

Your Majesty, don't speak out of breath!
He could only look at Taichang innocently.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but said awkwardly: "What expression do you have? The plan of extermination I mentioned is not the plan of extermination that you think, what I mean is to move all the nomadic tribes on the grassland to the new Jingzhou mansion. In this way Once this happens, there will be no nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall, and this eternal problem will be solved.”

Oh, that's what it means.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, as long as it wasn't a real plan to end the family.

Those who do such outrageous things will be punished.

Taichang then pointed to the map and introduced: "The key to this plan is actually the rapid population migration. If we slow down and dawdle, we are afraid that something will happen."

Well, this is also easy to understand.

After all, it's a bit of a steal.

If you snatch someone's wife and children and are still walking slowly outside the Great Wall, they will definitely find a way to snatch them back.

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded slightly to show their understanding.

Taichang then drew on the map with his finger: "So, we need to build four railways, extend the Beijing-West Line and the Beijing-Liaoning Line to the outside of the Great Wall, and then mobilize merchant ships to go to the major railways near the Beijing-West Line and the Beijing-Liaoning Line. The port waits, picks up people and leaves, leaving no time for people to react."

At this moment, Bi Maokang and Cheng Jiashuo finally understood.

It turned out that the emperor recruited them to prepare to build railways and mobilize merchant ships.

Sure enough, Taichang immediately said to Bi Maokang: "Meng Hou, look, these four railway lines are respectively, extending the railway line from Shenyang to the Horqin Department of Mengyuan, and extending the railway line from Jizhou Town to Chaha, Mengyuan. Erbu, extend the railway line from Datong Town to Mengyuan Tumote Department, and extend the railway line from Xi’an Prefecture to Mengyuan Zhungeer Department. You can roughly estimate how many rails are needed, and cast them within three months."

Hearing this, Bi Maokang quickly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then said to Cheng Jiashuo: "Yaoguang, this time I'm afraid that at least three to four million people will be transferred to the new Jingzhou Prefecture. You should think about how many merchant ships you need to mobilize and how to arrange supplies along the way.

You have to pay attention, we are not really trying to exterminate people's households, we are actually pulling people to New Jingzhou Prefecture for development.

Therefore, food, fresh water and medicinal materials must be prepared, so that people cannot die on the road. "

This difficulty is not ordinary.

If this requirement is followed, a merchant ship can transfer more than a thousand people at most, and a hundred merchant ships can transfer more than a hundred thousand people. At this moment, there are only [-] merchant ships in the entire Ming Dynasty!

In other words, even if all the merchant ships are mobilized, a maximum of 90 million people can be transferred in one trip.

And the new Jingzhou Mansion is [-] to [-] miles away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. It took at least more than a month to go there, and it took more than a month to come back.

If the advancing speed of the army is too fast, and millions of people are caught for him in a month, it will be impossible to change his luck.

Cheng Jiashuo calculated it carefully, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how long will this battle take? If it is finished within a few months, I am afraid that the current number of merchant ships will not be able to transfer."

How long will this battle last?

To be honest, Taichang is not very clear.

After thinking for a while, he still asked Sun Chengzong: "Children, how long do you think this battle will take?"

This depends on how far you want to play.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, then asked: "Your Majesty, where do you want to fight?"

this question.

Domineering!

The current Daming, on land, can fight wherever he wants.

However, there must be a limit to the expansion of territory. If the area laid down is too large, it is also a problem.

The Mongolian Yuan was an obvious example at the beginning. In terms of force, they were invincible throughout Eurasia. However, in terms of governance, they were not very sincere. In less than a hundred years, a huge empire fell apart.

It's not a good thing to have big eyes and a small belly. If you can't digest it after eating it, it will ruin your stomach.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then estimated: "Why don't we destroy Tatar and Wala first."

This doesn't take long.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and then solemnly said: "My minister estimates that if we attack with all our strength and rush forward, we should be able to wipe out Jiannu, Tatar and Oala within this year. If we advance steadily, we will slowly clean up one by one. , may take two years."

Don't think about it, then you must choose to advance steadily. The advance is too fast. Not only will there not be so many merchant ships, but the railway line may not be able to keep up.

Taichang said without hesitation: "Let's push forward steadily, we still have to consider the issue of advancing the railway line."

This question is indeed a big one.

Don't look at what he said is simple, just extend the four railway lines.

In fact, each railway line is at least more than a thousand miles long, and it has to pass through many mountains and Gobi deserts.

Sun Chengzong looked at the map, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we start preparing now. After all, repairing the railway requires a large number of personnel and materials. We have almost prepared. It is estimated that the ice and snow in various places have begun to melt. At that time, we can extend the railway line to all the gates of the Great Wall first, and once the army advances, the railway line can follow suit."

That's a good suggestion.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, we really should have made preparations earlier. This time we have to arrange infantry to guard the important town on the Nine Borders. After all, we are going to rob someone's wife, children, and children. They are likely to go crazy. They came to retaliate and rushed into the pass to rob our population.

How about this, Xianglin, you will lead the [-] infantry of the Shenji Battalion to Xi'an Mansion, prepare to build a railway, and be responsible for the defense of Shaanxi's three sides.

Zu Shou, you will lead the [-] infantry of the Shenji Battalion to Datong Town to prepare for the construction of the railway, and at the same time be responsible for the defense of Datong Town and Taiyuan Town.

To become a flood dragon, you will lead the [-] Shenwu Battalion Jingqi and [-] Shenwu Battalion infantry to prepare and practice here.

Dashou, Liaodong will be in charge of you. First gather the [-] infantry and [-] cavalry over there and prepare for it. "

When Zu Dashou, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin and Sun Zushou heard the words, they hurriedly bowed and said: "The final general will obey the order."
