Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 596 Monan
Order after order was clarified by Hong Chengchou, and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion began to move up and down, and the sound of horse hooves outside the government office never stopped.

The Governor's Mansion is in charge of the army.

The governor's office manages the people.

The governor system was clarified by Zhu Youxiao. Wherever governors and governors are appointed, the division of powers is very clear. In addition, there is a responsibility to defend the territory, which makes the space for deniability infinitely compressed!

Northern Zhili, Liaodong, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty were affected by wars or disasters. Although there were some local problems, the overall trend was stable. This It is inseparable from the appointed governors.

Not to mention that in the above-mentioned places, there are also a group of patrol guards appointed by Zhu Youxiao. Even if there is any unrest during the period, the local officials are capable of solving it.

"Futai, this battle shouldn't be fought so fast!!"

In the main hall, Zhang Quan's expression was very serious. He stared at the map in front of him and said to Hong Chengchou who was standing with his hands behind his back: "It's not that Xiong Butang doesn't know how difficult it is for Liaodong to save such a small fortune now. We really have to surround the Tieling front line and follow the construction of If the main force of the captives starts a war, the impact will be too great. "

"Food prices in Liaodong are bound to rise. Not to mention the needs of the various ministries on the Tieling front line, just the industrial workshops to be built in Jinzhou, Guangning, Jinzhou, Haizhou, Anshan and other places. This extra money due to the war will The money that has appeared is a big burden for my Liaodong governor's office."

"Not to mention that in order to supply the needs of the front line, the above-mentioned industrial workshops must step up their efforts to forge various firearms and weapons. Not to mention anything else, the demand for these two raw materials, iron ore and tungsten ore, is bound to increase exponentially. "

"With such an increase, the mining areas we have opened in Liaodong alone may not be able to meet the demand everywhere. This will require external purchases. How much additional money will be needed?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Hong Chengchou had a solemn expression and said in a low tone: "Since Xiong Butang is going to fight this battle on the front line of Tieling, even though we are at the rear, we cannot give up the challenge."

"Think about it, why did the situation in Liaozuo become unstable before? And after that, the rebels invaded and invaded vassal Korea. For this reason, His Majesty made it clear in Beijing to support Korea and fight against the captives!"

"Liaodong is the strategic point of our Ming Dynasty's Northeast. If Liaodong is not stable, the Northeast of Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. But it's not just Jianlu who are gathering along Liaodong!"

Even though Hong Chengchou said that in front of so many people after receiving the urgent delivery from Xiong Tingbi, since some things were unavoidable, Hong Chengchou had to bear them.

The difficulties mentioned by Zhang Quan are only part of it.

At present, the governor's office in Liaodong is under great pressure. In addition to the above mentioned, there is also the requisition of military-owned fields for trial planting of rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., not to mention the Liaoze renovation in western Liaoning, which also consumes a lot of money. Money and food.

When it comes to Liaodong, everyone knows that it is black soil and very fertile.

However, few people know that the development of Liaodong region is in stages, and the factors hindering the development of Liaodong are not only the cold weather but also the wide coverage of Liaoze.

There are no records about Liaoze in the historical materials of past dynasties.

"The Biography of Yan Lide in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty": "In the eighteenth year, I conquered Korea and marched to Liaoze. More than 200 miles from east to west were muddy and blocked by people and horses."

"Old History of the Five Dynasties·Foreign Biography 1·Khitan": "The Khitans are descendants of the ancient Xiongnu and have lived in Liaoze for generations."

"History of Liao Geography 1": "The ancestor of the Liao Kingdom was called Khitan. It was originally the land of Xianbei and lived in the middle of Liao Ze."

The development and management of a region inevitably involves a struggle with heaven, earth, and people, otherwise the fertile land will not be there by itself.

Along with the rectification of Liaoze, the Governor's Office of Liaodong also organized large-scale construction of Chidao, water conservancy, and ports. All the above were done to lay a good foundation for large-scale development.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This road only refers to the land road, the sea road is also very important!
With so many important things to do, it is not enough to rely on the support of internal funds alone. Therefore, if we want to open a tax in Liaodong, only if it is profitable, then there will be more people in Liaodong. With more people, the taxes levied will be smaller. If there are more, more taxes will be levied, and only then can a clear plan be implemented!

There are so many things to do in Liaodong, so as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao must select people with courage and vision to take charge.

In terms of military affairs, it must be Xiong Tingbi.

A man who can be called a barbarian by all the Jianlu people, is that a good thing?

It's just that in this way, the person responsible for managing the people must be carefully selected. They must not only know how to govern the people, but also understand military affairs. After all, Liaodong is so different.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou promoted him as governor of Liaodong, which was an inevitable driving force!
Zhu Youxiao wants a lot in Liaodong, so Hong Chengchou, as the chief steward of Liaodong, must do a good job in all aspects.

"This official is a little worried."

After listening to what Hong Chengchou said, Zhang Quan frowned and said: "If the battle on the Tieling front continues, will the Chahar, Horqin, Karaqin, Neikarkha and other tribes gathered in the Liaohetao area follow suit? As the war situation deepens, what other thoughts come to mind?"

"Even at this time, Chahar and Horqin are confronting each other, and some wars have even broken out, but no one can guarantee that they will not be affected by the Tieling front line."

Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "So for me, the governor of Liaodong, we must not only ensure the supply of military supplies for the frontline battlefields, but also try to provoke disputes among the various ministries in Monan."

"Futai..."

Zhang Quan's eyes opened slightly, and he seemed to have thought of what Hong Chengchou wanted to do.

"In the name of the Liaodong Governor's Office, urgently deliver military information to the Zhili Governor's Office."

Hong Chengchou continued: "In view of the changing situation in Liaodong, can the various places in the pass adjacent to the Monan tribes select a group of elite cavalry to sneak into the various Monan tribes and plunder them in the name of the Monan tribes? Kill as many enemies as you want, plunder as much as you can, and try to stir up strife among the various tribes.”

"During this period, I, the governor of Liaodong, will order the suspension of the checkpoints. Those who want to continue doing business with the checkpoints in Liao must take the heads of the Horqin tribe."

"In addition, a group of elites must be selected from western Liaoning, southern Liaoning and other places and rushed to the border wall of western Liaoning to intimidate the tribes in Monan!!"

This will be a big melee!
Zhang Quan stared at Hong Chengchou in disbelief with his eyes widened.

"Futai, if this happens, the Military Academy will definitely ask questions."

Zhang Quan was startled for a moment, looked at Hong Chengchou and said: "Even if the noise is too loud, His Majesty will be alarmed. This..."

"This is inevitable."

Hong Chengchou stretched out his hand and interrupted: "But now that things are like this, we can't give up the fight, can we? Besides, Liaodong has lost a lot of money for the battle on the Tieling front line, so we have to find some place to make up for it, right?"

"The matter is settled like this. No matter what, let's finish this battle first. As long as our Ming Dynasty wins here, even if we cannot completely suppress the Jianlu rebellion, we can rely on this battle to establish our Ming power again. This will be of great benefit to the future governance of Liaodong.”

It's just that the pressure is too great, and it might collapse if you're not careful.

However, Zhang Quan secretly thought in his heart, but Zhang Quan did not say these words. He knew better than anyone that what Hong Chengchou decided would not change!
