Emperor Ming Dynasty

Obviously, although the port of Heilongjiang is only open to navigation for six or seven months a year, the trade is booming and the demand has surged.

Naturally, the treasury is full and the army is more than enough.

Therefore, Wang Shiguo has only one request for the court:
immigration.

"Your Majesty, Nurgan City is the old city of Hongwu. Although it has been reduced to ruins, it is of extremely high value. It has shocked the northern tribes."

On the grassland in the northeast, it was entrusted to those younger brothers during the period of Genghis Khan. Although it was a corner, it couldn't stand the vastness of the land.

It is most suitable to apply the old name of Lingbei in the Yuan Dynasty.

"There are not many people in Jilin, you should take your time in Heilongjiang!"

The emperor sighed.

Humans are all temperature-loving animals. Few like the cold Heilongjiang region, as evidenced by the emptiness of Northeast China in later generations.

But one thing is good, in the case of inconvenient transportation, as long as you hook someone up, it will be very difficult to escape.

"30 million—"

"Teaching a pack of wolves to become sheep is a long-term project, and it needs to be persistent. It's so fat."

Of course, that is the method to treat the root cause, and now only effective measures can be taken to treat the symptoms.

Therefore, Qianlong has always used the vocabulary of rebellion for the Junggar Khanate, which means that this is a civil war.

"It's too late, I'm afraid the Mongolian tribes are too weak—"

To add a word, when Qianlong regained Xinjiang, the origin of its name is the meaning of homeland and new return.

Therefore, after Wang Shiguo left with resentment on his face, Xin Wencheng's face was full of joy:
"Your Majesty, due to the reclamation of the Corps in the past two years, a large number of soldiers have returned home and brought their families, young and old, and the population of Jilin has greatly increased."

His shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"For now, the only way is to recruit troops."

The emperor counted silently.

But that's not what he wants.

Years of peace, without war, the population of the ranch will continue to rise, and when the population reaches a certain level, war will naturally break out.

However, in Zhu Yixi's mind, the best situation is Jilin Spillover.

Although there are 30 people in Jilin Xingdusi, there are only [-] people in the frontier army.

During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, after the population expanded, the situation of entering the Guandong occurred.

peace.

Some grasslands, frozen soil, and few people, can almost be said to be places where birds don't shit, and there is nothing to rule at all.

The emperor murmured.

Politically sensitive Sun Changzhou, from a long-term perspective, immediately saw the crisis in Chahar, or the crisis in the entire Monan grassland:

"Do you think there is any way to control it?"

If it were in the past, the grasslands would fight almost every day, the big tribes would eat the small tribes, and the small tribes would merge with each other, making war the main theme.

Xin Wenchen said earnestly: "Using monks as the medium and trade as profit, Horqin will definitely obey in a few years, and then the Jilin Xingdu Division will have to be expanded."

"Your Majesty, I think that we can follow the example of the Suiyuan and Chahar tribes, set up some living houses, and build some temples widely. The Mongolians like Buddha."

Is this ambitious?Not big at all.

"You want to go straight to Huanglong?"

Don't say it, it's really easy to use.

Xin Wencheng held his head high, quite proud of himself: "Now Jilin grows the most corn and wheat. Because of the vast land, it can be self-sufficient, and even has spare energy to support Heilongjiang."

"How about Horqin Department?"

Obviously, such a small thought was punctured by the emperor.

The emperor chuckled and said: "Jilin, Heilongjiang, combined, probably surpassed Mobei, but you just don't know it."

"However, although there are many wars at present, it will definitely not work in the long run."

Xin Wencheng secretly sighed.

This has also been recognized by the court.

They are all descendants of Genghis Khan's second brother, Habutu Hasar, with pure blood.

Zhu Yixi recalled Man Qing's method, and finally thought about it, and felt that the best way was to go north.

"The Lingbei Province in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Nuer Gandusi in the Taizu and Chengzu years all had such ambitions. I don't mean surpassing the Taizu. It is normal to inherit his will."

These people were naturally soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but the court could not stop them, which is a bit uncomfortable.

"The number of households increased by 30 last year, and it is expected to increase by [-] this year. After two or three years, the population of Jilin will soon exceed [-]."

"One son inherits the family business, one son is a soldier, and one son is a lama."

The emperor nodded and said appreciatively: "However, it must be recruited from the people of Gyeonggi, and it would be better to neutralize with the people of Shandong."

As he spoke, he patted his chest and proudly said: "As long as you give me [-] households every year, within three to five years, Jilin will definitely change from a capital to a province."

And now?Chuluo Khan planned the pastures of the tribes, and they were not allowed to migrate along with them. At the same time, they also established silage methods, which led to the continuous increase of herdsmen's livestock.

Afterwards, the corresponding rewards will naturally not be less.

The third is the governor of Chahar, Sun Changzhou.

What a shrewd person the emperor was, he immediately understood what was on his mind.

After all, no one likes war.

Zhu Yixi was silent.

Of course, the most important thing is the oppression of slavery, which made the lamas who are not productive become the only way out, just like the people in the Central Plains, who were castrated and sent to the palace in order to survive.

Zhu Yixi doesn't have much ambition, and the restoration of Lingbei province is almost done.

The emperor thought about it again and again, and came up with a solution: "How about letting Yu Ding become a lama?"

"The tribes of Horqin are safe and sound, and they dare not go beyond the rules." Xin Wencheng lowered his head and said, "However, many herdsmen from all tribes enthusiastically joined the army to make a living."

"The Jilin Xingdusi currently has three cities, Jilin, Changchun, and Ningguta. Among them, Jilin County has more than [-] soldiers and civilians, and it is the most prosperous place."

Zhu Yixi shook her head, revealing her true thoughts for the first time:
"Although Shunzhi is young, he has been the leader of the thieves for more than ten years. He has great prestige. We won't be able to take them down for a while."

Although he is a general, he really underestimated the emperor's ambition too much.

Because in terms of distance, the distance across the Horqin Grassland to Fengjing Mansion is at least half the distance compared to crossing the Mobei Grassland.

It can be seen that after nearly half a century of wooing, the Horqin tribes still have feelings for the Manchu Qing.

That's right, it is to break the monopoly of the Russians on Siberia, so that the breeding population will go north to carry out population flooding.

Of course, it is not a pure county system, but an administrative agency that manages various ministries and villages, and its scope is also narrowed to the vicinity of Mobei and Lake Baikal.

Let the Mongols who are accustomed to wielding knives, guns, riding horses and archery to study are frighteningly expensive, and the time effect is extremely slow.

"So we have to look for an opportunity to sneak attack and expand the country to Lake Baikal, which is the Lingbei province."

For the ruled people, as long as there is a plausible reason, it is for them to accept it half-grievously and live a peaceful life.

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "Continue to open the mutual market. For silk, tea, porcelain, etc., supply as much as possible. Ironware and gunpowder are prohibited as before."

Lingbei Province and other provinces, referred to as Lingbei Province, was the first of the top ten provinces in the Yuan Dynasty and the northernmost province in the Yuan Dynasty.

He stroked his forehead lightly and smiled wryly: "The old minister has been thinking about it for a long time. For the current plan, the best way is to be enlightened by the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics."

Its vastness is truly astonishing.

"The idea is good, but the time has not come."

Just like Heilongjiang and other Jilin overflows, and the Jilin Xingdusi relies on the overflow of Liaodong, but after the pace of migration accelerates, the population growth will also increase rapidly.

Sun Changzhou frowned.

But what he envisioned, using the Mongols as generals to prevent Russia from expanding eastward, turned out to be a mirror image instead.

Because at that time, population pressure and interests will inevitably make the Mongols turn to Russia, and all assumptions will be divorced from reality.

This is the first time since ancient times.

The reduction system is essential.

In addition to the reclamation corps, various policies such as excessive taxation by officials and replacement of Xuntian have also been implemented one after another, which has allowed Jilin's population to continue to grow.

Being a lama is a way to survive, but it leads to a decrease in the birth rate.

After some fighting before, Horqin's left and right wings were severely injured, and he had completely changed his family and chose to swing neutrally.

The long-term peace and order have caused the herdsmen in the Monan area to have children vigorously, and the population has continued to accumulate, which has led to a gradual shortage of pastures.

He thought that he would be able to retreat after completely eradicating the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty, but he never thought that the emperor wanted more.

"The tribes of Horqin must continue to coerce, but don't overdo it and arouse their resentment."

"Another 5000 people with you."

If there are 40 people, it is really possible to set up a chief secretary. As for the province, there are no million people, and it is impossible to support it.

Therefore, once Zhu Yixi regains Mobei and the Baikal region, he will naturally claim to inherit from Yuantu.

Just like Khalkha Mongolia, the tribes of Oirat Mongolia, they also called Horqin tribes.

If it doesn't work, they will send troops to the Central Plains, and there will be more casualties.

All the people in the forest and the land of the kings belonged to the Yuan Dynasty were under the jurisdiction.

One of the most important goals of Jilin Xingdusi is to supervise the Horqin Grassland, that is, the Zhelimu Ten Banners composed of Horqin, Guoerluosi, Zalaite, Durbert and other tribes.

Its Zhihening (see Helin) extends to the North Sea in the north, the Shihe River in Yeer (the ancient name of the Irtysh River) in the southwest, the Qincha Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate in the west, and Harawin Mountain in the southeast. (now Daxing'an Mountains), connected to Liaoyang Province by Lena River.

After the destruction of Junggar, the entire Manchu and Qing courts couldn't wait to turn over old papers and declare the legal principle: the right of succession came from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In fact, the reduction policy was implemented by the Zajin people. They regularly went to the grasslands to fight, wanting to eliminate the threat once and for all, but forced out Genghis Khan.

The Qing Dynasty did not explicitly stipulate the reduction of capital, but it used the system to reduce it.

Coupled with the supplies from various tribes along the way, the goal of the army going straight to Huanglong was easily accomplished.

"The last general dare not—" Xin Wencheng was taken aback, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

As the father-in-law, who was born in Jinyiwei, Sun Changzhou's qualifications need not be mentioned. From the governor of Water Transport, the governor of Xuanda, and the current governor of Chahar, Sun Changzhou's experience can be said to be extremely rich.

For example, the confinement of household registration and pastures led to natural disasters, and herdsmen could only wait to die; Russia occupied Siberia, and it was difficult for a large number of herdsmen to go south, which made Mongolia a stagnant water.

the emperor asked suddenly.

Sun Changzhou said decisively: "Recruiting the people as soldiers, the sword has no eyes, and it will inevitably be broken, and the goal of war will naturally be achieved."

"Is it vast? Not so!"

He wanted to cry up to the sky, but sure enough, to learn Man Qing's moves, he had to learn all of them.

Xin Wencheng turned pale with shock, and then was surprised: "Your Majesty, the land of Lingbei is too vast, isn't it?"

Reading, especially Confucian culture, from childhood to adulthood, is enough to make a person a loyal and patriotic person.

The emperor said with a little hope.

But in reality, in the Central Plains, if the population increases, you can go to the mountains to borrow land, or go to the sea to go to Nanyang if you can't.

After all, what the Ming Dynasty inherited was the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty. Restoring the old land is called recovering the old land.

That is to say, expand the Jilin Xingdu Division to the vicinity of Daxing'an Mountains, and Horqin will become a vassal by then.

The request was met, and Xin Wencheng was overjoyed. He continued: "Your Majesty, there are not enough troops in Jilin. Do you want to expand?"

Livestock is equal to food. If there is more food, coupled with peacetime, there will naturally be motivation to have children.

However, the soldiers at most accept the land replacement to Liaodong, and Jilin is not yet acceptable, it is too far away.

In other words, the Jilin General's Mansion is almost moved first, and after the population increases, it will naturally spill over to the Heilongjiang area.

"However, since you want to go to Fengjing Mansion, you can use both rewards and punishments for Horqin's tribes."

And what flag is more effective in rebelling against Ming rule?

"In a few days, I will send some lamas to go there, so I can count it as cooperation with you!"

As soon as he came back, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, due to the disappearance of the war, the population of Chahar's tribes has grown so much that it has almost doubled in just a few years, so we must think of something!"

So, the population is constantly being consumed.

In this regard, Zhu Yixi nodded slightly.

After all, Heilongjiang is colder than Jilin, and Jilin is the perfect transition.

The order of the grassland will inevitably collapse.

Sun Changzhou said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, within a hundred years, the population on the grassland will inevitably reach its limit. At that time, if the imperial court does not use strong methods, it may be like the chaos of the Six Towns..."

That is, at the same time, they paid tribute to the Manchu and Ming Dynasties in exchange for peace.

The emperor said softly: "Neutralize and take care of each other."

Sun Changzhou blinked, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Of course, this being a soldier is actually debatable.

Only a few entered the Beijing camp, and most of them naturally became the Construction Corps and went to Jilin and Heilongjiang to reclaim wasteland.

It can not only enrich the population of the frontier, but also solve the population problem of Mongolia. Zhu Yixi feels that he is a genius.
