Chapter 725 Nurgan

Yang Reform threw out the news that Ryukyu food was coming, which shocked many people, and turned the platform meeting, which was worried about food, from worry to surprise and surprise. The original pressure also dissipated, and the voice on the platform became more relaxed .

The happiest thing is Bi Ziyan. His household department may be the busiest department in the six departments. In order to prepare and dispatch food, it can be said that he is busy day and night, and his hair is gray in anxiety. Besides food, there are other things Such as land transactions, such as taxation, such as household registration immigration, etc., now that the food problem has been solved, a big stone in my heart has finally landed. The food problem is the first to mention all problems. solve.

If you want to say the one with the deepest emotion, I’m afraid it’s Han Yu. New grains will be on the market in May and June, and they will arrive in the capital in early June. It's not as simple as a little food. Some people outside said that he "turned around" the cabinet, saying that he was most likely to fall to the emperor at a critical moment.People who don't know the inside story probably can't understand him.Han Yu looked at the emperor from time to time, and understood better why the emperor said he had been escaping from hell.There are so many steps to come step by step, and if you miss one step, you will be in an abyss, and you will never be able to recover.Hell has always existed, and it has not been far away from the Ming Dynasty. Now it is just that the Ming Dynasty has taken two steps forward.Han Yu remembered a sentence: The road is long and long.

To say that the happiest thing is Yuan Chonghuan. He is now concentrating on fighting the war. The last thing he wants is to affect the battle because of food and other factors. Now he is the happiest to hear that the food problem has been solved.

To say that the most frustrating or depressing thing is that when Shi Feng came, he suddenly fell from the status of a supporting role after turning the tide, and he was always a little blocked.

After Yang Reform released the news, everyone's worries about food disappeared, and this meeting continued. In fact, this meeting was mainly related to the military.

"Although the food problem has been initially solved, the food can't withstand the toss. The battle in Liaodong further north has to be reduced in scale, relying on the rear support as little as possible, and using war to support war as much as possible..." Yang Reform said such a sentence, in fact, it means that there are fewer elites and more frontier troops and imperial associations.

"I understand..." Yuan Chonghuan agreed.

"... Now that Tieling has been taken, Jianzhou, further north, should be Kaiyuan, Anle Prefecture, and further north, you will leave Liaodong and enter the area of ​​Nurgandusi before my dynasty. To the north is the Yidong River Wei, Yimihewei, Wuyewuwei, ..., further north, there are Nalinhewei, Ciluwei... It is said that in the place of Wuyewuwei, there is a tributary of the Songhua River, which can pass through the boat , and it is a big ship, going down the river to Nurgan? If I remember correctly, when I ran Nurgan in the past, I also went down the Songhua River. If I occupy this place, I can rely on the river. It will go down the river, and it will have a very important effect on the marching and supply of the army..." Yang Reform's ruler was still gesturing.In this vast area, there are only some rivers, some strange-sounding place names, and strange signs such as guards. Yang Reform knows that this place will be the Northeast in the future. According to Yang Reform's memory, Shenyang To the north, there should be well-known cities in the middle, such as Siping, such as Changchun, and Harbin further north.It flows down the Songhua River, joins the Heilongjiang River, and finally reaches the Strait of Hormuz in Russia.Judging from the situation marked on the map today, the seat of Nurgan Dusi established by the Ming Dynasty was at the mouth of Heilongjiang, which later belonged to Russia. Now taking this opportunity, Yang Reform is planning to take it back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed good. When I was running Nurgan in the past, it was indeed down the Songhua River. The Songhua River can indeed pass through large ships. I read the historical records. I appease Nurgan's envoys and The guards took a big boat and went down the Songhua River to Nurgan. It is said that when they arrived at Nurgan, the river merged into the sea again..." Yuan Chonghuan said, this is a compulsory course for him, and Yuan Chonghuan knows it very well clear.

"Yeah! Since I did this when I was running Nurgan, I still do it now. It's better to occupy this place this year, prepare to build ships, and prepare for going down the river next year. If the rivers in the Northeast are frozen early, it may be difficult to do anything this year..." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, although it is possible to drive on the river after it is frozen, it is still not as convenient as river transportation, nor as safe as river transportation. I think it is better to build ships and go down the river..." Yuan Chonghuan also said.

"Well, the basics are determined like this. This year's goal is limited to laying down one or two shipbuilding points, laying the foundation for next year's development..." Yang Reform said, this year's military front is really not easy to be too long, Yang The pressure of reform is already very heavy, and it seems to overwhelm Yang Reform. Yang Reform can only make conservative arrangements and dare not fully release them.

"I understand..." Yuan Chonghuan replied.

"...It's still the old rule of the past. People can't live without water, and animals can't live without water. Only where there are aquatic plants can people be raised, and where there are rivers can there be fertile land. What the people of Ming Dynasty want is fertile land. Land, therefore, the advancement of Liaodong is still based on water and rivers. Wherever there is a river, it must be occupied. Along the river, there must be a big river. The bigger the river, the more fertile land there must be. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who leave Liaodong must explain this truth to them, understand?" Yang Reform said.Today's production and life of human beings are basically in a relatively primitive state, and they cannot be separated from rivers at all. Therefore, Yang Reform has always focused on water and rivers, whether it is immigration, marching and fighting, or occupying territory. Make water control a top priority.The rain that falls from the sky will definitely form ditches and brooks, and the brooks will become small rivers, and the small rivers will converge into big rivers, and the big rivers will accumulate countless fertile lands, and finally they will flow to the sea.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand..." Yuan Chonghuan replied. He was at a loss as to how to attack Nurgan before. After listening to the emperor's plan, he had an idea. The situation is blurry, but it doesn't matter, as long as you follow the river and occupy the most fertile land, you will have everything, and you don't need to think about it. What Ming wants is these fertile land.

"...Furthermore, let me talk about the traffic. Now that Liaodong is being developed, the disadvantage is still the traffic problem. If the traffic is convenient, the front line will not be so tight. Mr. Han Ge, you are responsible for the traffic. The roads should cover the big cities as much as possible, especially the roads from Shenyang, Tieling, Liaoyang to Sanchahe. They need to be well repaired. The traffic will be opened up this year, and it is estimated that there will be output next year. The output will be shipped out without traffic. It’s not possible, but fortunately, this year’s disaster, a large number of victims came out to find a way to survive, and it’s just right to build roads with work relief...” Yang Reform urged that the current transportation capacity is not due to the means of transportation, but to the Not on the road.The meaning of Yang Reform is to occupy a place, develop a place immediately, develop a place, mature a place immediately, after the place is mature and produce something, support the army to expand forward, occupy the territory, and develop again.Only in this way can it be more reliable. Otherwise, relying entirely on the support and transportation within the pass will consume too much, and Yang Reform can't support it even if he vomits blood. Now he is waiting for the wave of victims in Liaodong to be resettled. Support the expansion of the army.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand..." Han Yu agreed.

"By the way, there is also the Ministry of War. How is the training of the people going out of the customs?" Yang Reform asked. To shoot, you have to learn to protect yourself. Now that there are large-scale immigrants, many immigrants are trained in batches. Of course, you don’t expect to train them to be elite, just teach them how to shoot. .

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is fine, but the consumption is a bit high..." Yuan Chonghuan quickly replied, there is no coincidence or difficulty in this kind of training, but it consumes a lot of food. Ammunition, this kind of thing can only be done when you immigrate. In the past, the government didn't care about these things, just whether you knew it or not, but never taught it.

"Well, well, the Qing family has bothered a lot about this matter. The place in Liaodong is not peaceful, and there are many barbarians. It is not enough to have no self-defense ability, and it is not enough to rely on the power of the government. In short... don't be afraid of exhaustion in training. Now Pay a little more, and the people will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of the imperial court in the future..." Yang Reform said.What Yang Reform thinks is that a group of wolves who can eat people will be released from the customs, instead of a group of sheep who can only farm the land. The dangerous place outside the customs has no self-defense ability and no blood. Compete with others?Yang Reform remembers that Russia has already begun to expand to the east. In a few years, he will probably meet Russians in Heilongjiang or Siberia. Chinese people who are not bloody and will not use force to protect themselves meet Russians. There is a dead end, Yang Reform doesn't want to see the Hailanpao, Jiangdong 64 Tun tragedy.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand." Yuan Chonghuan agreed, this is a matter of money, since the emperor is not short of money, let's do it.

"...By the way, I remembered something..." Yang Reform suddenly remembered something.

"Please show your Majesty..." several people said.

"I feel that it is too far away from Kaiyuan to Liaodong, to Wuyewuwei, and to Ciluwei. There are hardly any cities in the middle to rest. This is not possible. Look at Liaodong, from Sancha From the river to Liaoyang, to Shenyang, to Tieling, and Kaiyuan, the distance between the two cities is usually no more than fifty or sixty miles, and sometimes no more than a hundred miles. From Kaiyuan to this so-called Ciluwei, it may be hundreds of miles away. , This is not possible, we have to find a place in the middle and prepare to build a forward base. Liaodong has been defeated, without the support and support of the people, how can the imperial court support such a huge army?" Yang Reform Said, Yang Reform suddenly remembered that in the future, there will be several famous cities on this land, but there are no shadows now. Yang Reform thinks that since a big city can be formed in the future, it must have the foundation to become a big city. With the foundation and potential to become a big city, why don't you "draw a few circles" in Liaodong?Perhaps a few years later, several large-scale cities will rise from the ground, which will undoubtedly play a very important role in controlling Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, but do you want to build a post city?"

"The post city? No, what I'm talking about is the forward base, a base that can provide logistical support for the army. It's not a small post city, it must be a large-scale city, or in other words, a super-large settlement..." Yang Reform expressed his vision.

"base?"

"City?"

Several people were a little surprised.

"...It's probably this place, maybe it's here, where exactly, I'd better wait for the generals in front to choose for themselves, be sure to choose a place that is suitable for living, suitable for reclamation, and has a good climate, and use it as a base... "Yang Reform drew several circles on the sand table with a ruler.

"...Your Majesty, is this too fast? The journey from Kaiyuan to Nurgan is becoming more and more difficult. Your Majesty is eager for success, so I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult..." Bi Ziyan said.

Yang Reform was unmoved, and what he was thinking about now was "drawing circles", and then the "great achievements" of several cities rising from the ground.

"...Your Majesty, if you really want to build such a big 'base', I'm afraid it will not be an easy task. This place is already out of Liaodong, and it is the border of Nurgan. If you want to build such a big 'base', It is absolutely necessary to recruit tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, to cultivate. If there is no army to protect such a large number of people, I am afraid it will be very dangerous..." Bi Ziyan persuaded.

"Your Majesty, yes! Liaodong has not yet been integrated, and it is not self-sufficient. It is better to be more stable. It is better to wait for Liaodong to produce, and then move forward and not eat..." Han Yu also persuaded.

"Your Majesty, send tens of thousands of people to Nurgan, the food will be consumed..."

"Your Majesty's idea may be good, but it should not be too aggressive, it should be gradual..."

Several people on the platform persuaded the emperor.I think it is not suitable to build a city in Nurgan, at least not now.

Yang Reform was persuaded by several people, and he also began to reconsider whether his sudden whim was right. After thinking about it, he felt that his confidants still made sense. Harbin is not realistic. The natural disasters in Ming Dynasty this year have seriously affected food security. I have this intention, but the Ming Dynasty does not have the strength. The Ming Dynasty's strength this year has already reached its peak.

"That's right, that's the case. According to the Qing family, this year should mainly focus on Liaodong. On the Nurgan side, let's occupy a few forward strongholds, and let's talk about the preparation of the docks and shipyards... ..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and decided to follow the advice of his ministers. He really took it for granted.It’s okay to learn how to “draw circles” from others, but you have to wait for the opportunity, and it’s impossible to think of what to do.
