Li Banghua pointed to the map and said: "The remaining veins in the east of Yanshan Mountain and the edge of the grassland here, I asked people in Liaodong that they can farm land. The Mongols here are also half-cultivating and half-grazing. The Great Wall is not enough to defend. Liaoning Province The territory must be expanded beyond the Great Wall. Order the frontline soldiers to quickly destroy these places. Next year, one-third of the immigrants from Liaodong will migrate to farming. It is time for the Han people to mix with the Mongols, encourage interracial marriage, and supplement it with enlightenment merit."

What Li Banghua meant was to make the territory of Liaoning Province exactly the same as Liaoning Province hundreds of years later.

This is no coincidence, but for political and military purposes.

The Mongols there can also be completely assimilated, because they have already been half-cultivating and half-grazing.Especially in mountainous areas, there are more Mongolians farming than herding Mongolians.

As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the residents in those places were actually mainly Han Chinese, and some areas were under the jurisdiction of Duoyan Sanwei.

After Zhu Di seized the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of guarding the borders of the kings was impossible to persist.Coupled with some other reasons, they voluntarily gave up those lands, and the border defense was shrunk in all directions.After the Tumu Fort change, Ming Bao Zong ordered Daming to sweep away the majesty, so more and more Mongolians moved south, occupying the land abandoned by Zhu Di.

Zhao Han never thought of killing all the Mongols and Jurchens, but he had to live with the Han people and receive school education.Mongols who seldom herd, or do not herd, have their own Chinese names after learning to speak Chinese. How is it different from real Han people?

Even in Daming, there are quite a few Sinicized Mongols and Sinicized Jurchens in Liaodong.

Pang Chunlai lay down on the map and took a closer look: "After these areas are assigned to Liaoning, prefectures and counties should be set up, the sooner the better. Any Mongolian leader who dares to resist, then send troops to capture and kill! Also, according to Wang Tingchen According to reports, among these Mongolian tribes, there are many Han slaves. All Han slaves were released as people, and where they can farm land, they will be given to the Han people. Where they cannot farm land, the Han people will be allocated pastures!"

It is true that the sooner it is done, the better, because fighting with the Qing Dynasty will greatly damage the strength of these Mongolian tribes.

The Mongols who turned against and offered up the city in Liaoyang all came from the Mongolian tribe in that area.It is true that they dedicated their city to meritorious deeds, but they also committed a lot of crimes by robbing and killing Han people in the past, so there is no need to get used to everything.

Dissatisfied?

Then you rebel!

Li Banghua said: "In another five years, we will continue to immigrate to enrich the population and consolidate the imperial court's rule in Liaoning. At that time, we will be able to send troops to the north to completely subdue Karaqin and Horqin Mongolia."

In particular, one-third of the territory of Harqin Mongolia has been included in the territory of Liaoning, and they dare not have any opinions.

Manchu rule over Mongolia was divided into three types: Eight Banners Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.Divide the Mongolian pastures into pieces, let the various ministries of Mongolia check and balance each other, and let the vested interest groups suppress those non-vested interest groups.

This approach was very effective when the Manchu Qing army was strong, but many Mongols accumulated resentment.

In this war, the Manchus lost, and conflicts erupted immediately.

The Datong court directly set up state counties.At least in arable areas, state counties are very useful, and there is absolutely no need to figure out that set.

As for the grasslands further north, we have to find another way, perhaps we can learn from the Manchu Qing.

Lunar October.

The wheat in Liaodong had already been harvested and put into warehouses, and a lot was distributed to the common people, and a lot of military rations were left behind.

The distribution of land in Liaodong has also been basically completed.Firstly, the population is relatively small, so it is easier to count; secondly, the people register on their own initiative, and the land can be divided with household registration.

Including the Jurchen and Mongols who were not listed as prisoners of war, Liaoning has a total population (over 12 years old) of 54.There are also more than 3 Jurchen and Mongols who are listed as prisoners of war and their family members. They cannot be officially registered for the time being, and they are all thrown to mine in the mountains in the northeast.They can reform through labor to make amends. If they are lucky, they will be able to go to the government to register for household registration and divide the land if they are still alive after five years of work.

There are also some coated slaves, the heinous ones, who are treated like prisoners of war.For the rest of the coating, one year of mining can be registered as a citizen.

The above does not include the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall, otherwise the population of Liaoning should be more than 60.

Persist in emigrating [-] to [-] people every year, and within ten years, the population of Liaoning will exceed one million, and then the province can be formally established.

At this time, Li Zicheng's letter of surrender was sent to Nanjing: first, please remove the title of emperor, and would like to raise the whole province of Shanxi to submit to the Datong court; Open up the grassland territory; third, request the release of Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other captured Dashun generals.

Chapter 577 [Vara Returning]

All the cabinet ministers were there, as were several old buddies, and they were all discussing Li Zicheng's request for surrender.

"We must never crown Li Zicheng as king," Xu Ying said first, "Just like Mr. Pang, he is only the Duke of Liao now, but Li Zicheng is the prince. What do the civil and military ministers of the Datong court think?"

Li Banghua said: "It is not feasible to be a king, but it is still possible to give a duke... Li Zicheng surrendered the whole province of Shanxi, and he also had to go north to the Yinshan Mountains, which is considered a great achievement. Otherwise, once the war starts, although our army can take it. Shanxi, however, will consume a lot of food and pay, and the people who died because of it are countless."

Fei Chun supports Li Banghua's point of view: "Your Majesty, fighting in several provinces at the same time this year, and a dozen for more than half a year, the treasury is really stretched. Next year we will organize immigrants from Hebei, Shaanxi, and Liaoning. After Guizhou and southern Sichuan are consolidated, we will Send troops to take back Yunnan. All of these will cost money and food, if Shanxi can surrender, it will really let us breathe a sigh of relief."

Xu Ying said: "People in Shanxi are in panic, even if they are taken by force, it will not be very difficult."

Fei Chun had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Mr. Xu, you are not in charge of the family, and you don't know that oil and rice are expensive. In this war, Liaodong consumed the most military rations. They were all transported by sea from Jiangnan, and one ship sank in a storm. Lu The general sent troops from Baozhou, all the way to the north was in the mountains, and the food transported by the civilians ate more food than the soldiers. There is also Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment, which was also transported northward in the mountainous areas."

"The military rations in the Hebei battlefield were transported by the Jianghuai River. Although the consumption was not much in the middle, too many peasants and soldiers were recruited to defend the city. For the first-line cities in Baoding and the cities along the Grand Canal, more than [-] peasants and soldiers were recruited to defend the city alone. , This is not counting the people who have evacuated into the nearby cities. Moreover, although the income of staple grains will not be affected in counties and counties that have been recruited too many farmers and soldiers, the production of miscellaneous grains will definitely be severely reduced."

"The imperial court has hoarded food for several years, and this year's war is almost used up!"

Xu Ying reminded: "Li Zicheng's food is almost running out. If he can support a large army, he will definitely not take Shanxi and join him."

Fei Chun nodded and said, "This is the truth, please Your Majesty decide."

After more than half a year of the war, not only did the Datong court run out of food, but Li Zicheng and the Manchus were even more serious.

Liaoyang collapsed so quickly, apart from the lack of fighting spirit of the Manchu soldiers, the biggest reason was the lack of food in the city.At that time, Li Zheng didn't even need to attack. As long as the city was besieged for another two months, the Eight Banners soldiers in the city would have to eat human flesh.

Da Yuer wanted to deal with Dorgon, and the Manchu nobles agreed unanimously, and it was also because Dorgon's family had a lot of money and food.

When the Manchu Qing moved their capital from Shenyang to Jianzhou, [-]% of the food and salaries paid to the soldiers on the way came from Dorgon's family property.

Zhao Han looked at Pang Chunlai: "Pang Ge, what's your suggestion?"

Pang Chunlai asked: "Where does Your Majesty want to fight in the future? To Hetao, Saibei, or Mobei?"

Saibei is the area of ​​Inner Mongolia north of Yinshan Mountain, while Mobei already belongs to Outer Mongolia.

"Mobei." Zhao Han said.

Pang Chunlai replied: "Since we want to attack Mobei, it is all right to put Li Zicheng in Saibei. The decline of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will inevitably lead to chaos in Saibei and Monan (both Inner Mongolia), and the various tribes of Mongolia will definitely attack each other. Those Mongolian tribes in Mobei, Most likely they will take the opportunity to go south. Li Zicheng went to Saibei, the enemy is not Saibei and Monan Mongolia, but the Mongols from Mobei. It is not easy for Li Zicheng to gain a foothold in Yinshan, and it is absolutely impossible to grow rapidly."

"This plan is very clever," Li Banghua applauded, "Let Li Zicheng go north to Yinshan to entangle with Mobei Mongolia who is going south."

Zhao Han nodded in agreement, and said, "Draft an imperial edict to allow Li Zicheng to join him, and to release the puppet submissive general. However, Li Zicheng can only be named Marquis of Yinshan, and he can only be promoted again after he has made great achievements in Saibei. If Li Zicheng dislikes me The title given is too low, then we will fight next year. If he can win, the emperor will let him do it too!"

After finalizing this matter, discuss other matters.

Karaqin Mongolia, which was occupied by the king's courtiers, jointly presented a surrender form with Chahar Mongolia. These Mongolian tribes all requested to surrender, and they all obeyed the Emperor Zhao of Datong as the Heavenly Khan.

Chen Maosheng cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is the emperor, and the Khan is the Khan. Although Tian Khan is majestic, I think it is unnecessary. Once His Majesty accepts this title, many things in the Mongolian tribes will be difficult to deal with."

"What Chen Shangshu said is reasonable." Xiao Huan was the first to agree.

All the ministers want Zhao Han to accept the title, "Tian Khan" is so powerful and domineering.But it is impossible to accept it now, because it is difficult to be tough to accept other people's titles if you want to set up states and counties in some Mongolian territories.

Nurhaci also has a similar title, but the price is that the Mongolian princes are on an equal footing with him.

Although Zhao Han was a little tempted, he still resisted the temptation and said, "Then I won't be the Khan of Heaven. The Mongolian tribes are accumulating grievances. If I forcefully persuade them to make peace, they will feel resentful instead. Let them go and fight. After one or two years, the Datong Army will go to clean up the mess!"

Now Mongolia is really a mess.

The tribes of Horqin are in civil war, Harqin is stabbing Horqin's chrysanthemum, and the southern territory of Harqin is occupied by the Datong Army.Chahar is cleaning up the surrounding small tribes, and the remnants of Tumed and Yongxiebu are forming an alliance.Mobei Mongolia, Beishan Jurchen, may go south at any time, plus Li Zicheng who is about to go out... After several years of melee, the population of the grassland is estimated to drop by [-] to [-] percent.

……

Qinghai.

Chechen Daiqing galloped towards Gushi Khan's camp, and met Gushi Khan riding a horse and shooting arrows in the pasture.

"Why are you here?" Gushi Khan asked.

Gushri Khan had a total of ten sons, the eldest son was permanently stationed in Tibet, the fourth son was adopted by his brothers, and the remaining eight sons were nomadic in Qinghai.

Chechen Daiqing was the second son, and he was not allowed to come back to see his father if he hadn't been summoned.

Chechen Daiqing dismounted: "Father Khan, there is important news. Emperor Zhao of Nanjing defeated Li Zicheng and occupied Shaanxi. I heard that the Jurchens were also defeated. Emperor Zhao's army has arrived in Gansu and is stationed in Gansu. It is said that he will send civil servants Come here. Our herdsmen in Gansu have been notified to go to the government to register.”

Gushi Khan was playing with the horsewhip in his hand, and sighed, "It seems that the taxes in Gansu cannot be collected."

Li Zicheng's rule over Gansu has not been stable all the time. He only occupied cities and passes, and officials can only restrain the Han people.The herdsmen in Gansu regard Gush Khan as the co-lord, and Gush Khan can go to Gansu to collect taxes.

Similarly, Gushi Khan in Kham District in western Sichuan is also collecting taxes.

The taxes in the Houzang area are used to support the monks in Tibet.The tax revenue from the Kham District in western Sichuan is used to support the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai.

Chechen Daiqing asked: "Father Khan, do you want to fight with the Han army in Gansu?"

"We can't start a war anymore, we have to completely surrender to Emperor Zhao." Gushi Khan was very helpless.

Qinghai and Tibet are now called the Heshuote Khanate, and the founder is the Gushri Khan in front of him.

Gushi Khan, the transliteration of Guoshi Khan, was respected by Oirat Mongols as the Great National Division. At the same time, he also served as the leader of the Oirat Alliance-the various tribes of Oirat. There is no Khan, only the leader.

As the leader of the alliance, the enemy of Oirat Mongolia is the enemy of Gushri Khan.

So, who are Wala's enemies?

First, Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei.

Second, the Kazakh Khanate in Central Asia.

Third, Tsarist Russia!

If there is another war with the Datong court, Gushi Khan will become enemies on all sides.

Gushi Khan said to his son: "You lead a team to Nanjing to pay tribute, tribute 200 war horses, and tribute 10 exquisite carpets. It is said that the Mongols in Gansu and the Heshuot Khanate are no longer contaminated. These Mongols belong to Emperor Zhao. Common people. However, please ask Emperor Zhao to leave a passage in Gansu and allow the Heshuote army to pass through."

The Heshuote tribe of Mongolia, whose territory is north of the Tianshan Mountains, is managed by the brothers of Gushri Khan.But the Heshuote Khanate of Gushri Khan was in Qinghai and Tibet.

If the two territories want to send troops to support each other, they must either go to the Hami area outside Jiayuguan or go to the Gansu area inside Jiayuguan.The former was blocked by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the latter was blocked by the Datong court occupying Gansu.

It is impossible to find the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to march through the road.

Although they are all Mongolian regimes, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate believes in environmental protection.On Gushri Khan's side, he believed in Tibetan Buddhism.Don't talk about marching through the road, if they don't fight each other, they are regarded as peace-loving.

After thinking about it carefully, Gushi Khan said again: "As long as Emperor Zhao agrees to march in Gansu, all the tribes in Oirat are willing to submit to him!"

This is playing Dafa. Once Zhao Han agrees, not only Tibet and Qinghai will belong to Datong China in name.It also includes the territory of Xinjiang north of the Tianshan Mountains, the eastern border of Kazakhstan, and many Russian territories in Eastern Siberia.

Legislation!

In the autumn of this year, Chechen Daiqing, the second son of Gushi Khan, led a tribute mission of hundreds of people, and also brought more than a dozen Qinghai lamas, from Gansu to Nanjing via Shaanxi.

Historically, the legal authority of the Qing Dynasty to Tibet, Qinghai, and Xinjiang came from the submission and tribute of Gush Khan.Chechen Daiqing even personally led troops out to help the Manchus pacify Gansu and Xining.

They are surrenders from the "sincere" and absolutely impossible to rebel.Unless, they can overthrow Kazakhstan and Khalkha Mongolia, and can temporarily cease war with Tsarist Russia.

In another time and space, this situation really appeared.

Galdan from the Jungar tribe of Wara Mongolia first seized the ruling power of the Jungar tribe by force.Then he defeated the Heshuote tribe, and after unifying Oara Mongolia, he smashed through Khalkha Mongolia and fought until Inner Mongolia threatened Beijing.During this period, he also took time to occupy half of Tibet, wiped out the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, captured the Kazakh city of Seramu and conquered it.

The conquest of Zhungeer lasted from Kangxi to Qianlong, and it took three generations to destroy Zhungeer.

If history does not change, Gushi Khan can live another ten years.

The fierce man who led troops to defeat Urumqi at the age of 13 made a mess of his affairs.The eldest son is in Tibet, and the eight sons are in Qinghai. There is no established heir at all.

In the end, the eight sons in Qinghai all obeyed the elder brother as the Great Khan.

But the eldest brother was not allowed to come to Qinghai, and the power fell into division.The eldest brother governed Tibet by himself, and the eight brothers divided and ruled Qinghai. They fought against each other for decades, and were taken back by the Manchu Qing.

It is impossible for Zhao Han to let go of this kind of opportunity.

Chapter 578 [Liaodong funeral]

Southerners immigrated to Liaodong without worrying about their survival.

Zhu Yuanzhang carried out reclamation in Shibian, and most of the criminals sent to Liaodong were residents from the south of the Yangtze River. . .It is said that they are criminals, but in fact many of them are prisoners of hostile forces, or light criminals who are not enough to be exiled.

At that time, in Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration work, various details were well guaranteed.Southerners immigrated to the Northeast, and the death rate was much lower than that of Huguang filling Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty!

After all, it is a world of ice and snow. Zhao Han organized Liaoning immigrants this time, and the treatment was far more generous than before.

For confirmed immigrants, each person will be given two sets of winter clothes, which also include cotton hats and cotton boots.Based on the principle of nearby arrangements, 20 people from the same village share one cattle.The ownership of the farm cattle is collectively owned by these 20 people, which is what the government gave them.

It is estimated that 6 people will migrate to Liaoning next year, and [-] cattle will be needed for farming alone. Fortunately, a lot of them have been seized from the Tartars.

Hou Fangyu was appointed as the magistrate of Fushun. When the Tartars moved their capital and evacuated, the people there were looted, and many people were taken away to be grain transporters.Although it is a magistrate, the population under its rule can be more than 1 at most.

Moreover, if the war continues in the future, Fushun will be the forefront of the battle between the Datong Army and the Tartars!

For now, the Datong Army is still sending troops to attack the Fushun Pass of the Great Wall of the Liao Dynasty. After occupying Fushun Pass, the Datong Army can cross the Great Wall at any time and surround Sarhu City under the control of the Tartars.

Hou Fangyu didn't complain about this harsh environment, because he voluntarily applied to go to the Northeast.

First, for his own career, as long as he works hard in Liaoning, his political achievements will definitely not be buried;

Secondly, his father, Hou Xun, was involved in the political struggle of the Qing Dynasty, his legs were broken, and he was hungry and full in prison.When the Tartars evacuated Shenyang, Hou Xun was forgotten in the prison, and when the Datong Army rescued him, Hou Xun was starving.Hou Fangyu went to Fushun so that he could take care of his father.

"Let's sail!"

Several official ships departed from Nanjing, some went to Shanghai, and then took sea ships to Liaoning.Some follow the Grand Canal and go straight to the Hebei area.As for Shaanxi, most of the officials passed by from Hubei.

Along with the officials, there are many merchant ships.

Although the immigrants have not yet set off, they will have to wait until the early spring of next year to start from the south.However, merchants can't wait any longer, they have to arrive this winter.First establish a firm foothold, set up a simple warehouse, open a store in the city, and ship the goods in the spring.

Every time the Datong court expanded its territory, there were unlimited business opportunities, and many merchants made a lot of money.

In the past, the government had to mobilize businessmen to develop new sites.Today's merchants are scrambling, and the shops in the city on the new site have to bid and auction to win.Even during the siege, there were merchants who bought the ruined blocks and bought them, and paid their own money to rebuild the houses.
