Chapter 945 Fertile Land

When the generals under the Liaodong Dushi reported their duties, Zhu Gaoxu also asked about the situation of the three guards of Urianha one after another.

These sides should take into account the safety of their territory and should know about the Urianha tribe not far away.

Then Zhu Gaoxu summoned Guo Ang, who lives in Peking.Guo Ang is an official in Beijing from the Northern Department of the Guardian Department. The previous meeting between the Chief of the Zhao Palace and the Mongolian messenger Huapeng was Guo Ang reported to Beijing.

It is difficult for the Asut tribe of the distant Arutai headquarters, and even the Tatar Korchin tribe, the Northern Department of the Defense Department is difficult to get too much information.

However, Guo Ang should be able to find out a lot of things about the Urianha tribe, not far from the Liaodong Dusi.

After many investigations and questions, Zhu Gaoxu recognized General Jier's remarks from the Urianha people.This is the fact that the Urianha people and the Korchin tribe had too close contact.

Zhu Gaoxu judged that the Korqin tribe had fully infiltrated the Doyan Guard and Taining Guard. The Korqin leader Adei not only married the Urian Ha people, but also recruited many Urian Ha people from these two guards, but also sent many people to station on the territory between the two guards.

(The area of ​​the three guards of Wurianha at this time was mainly between Heilongjiang and Jilin, as well as the eastern foot of Daxinganling.)

The tribe that once helped Emperor Taizong's civil war in the Jingnan Campaign is now breaking away from the Ming Dynasty and is separated from the court.

Zhu Gaoxu felt very difficult about this and could not think of a way to restore the Urianha tribe.

Guo Ang had already answered Zhu Gaoxu's inquiry in detail, and he was standing in front of him.

Because Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything, Guo Ang did not dare to speak lightly in front of the imperial court and stood there silently.

The main room became very quiet, and Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted at this time.

The quiet environment makes people think too much. Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused about the mentality of the leaders of Urianha, so he thought a little bit more.

I don’t know if Emperor Taizong promised the Daning area at the beginning, but at most he gave the Urianha people a little land. Zhu Gaoxu believed that his father would not be stingy.

Logically, the leaders would not want to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty because of one thing.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had a whim and thought to himself: Perhaps no matter whether it was the Urianha people or other tribes, he was subconsciously willing to plunder the Han people of the Ming Dynasty with the Tatars. This was almost an instinct.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had the largest population and a very rich output; as long as these tribes could suppress the Ming people in the south, the huge benefits would be enough for their little ones to resolve the conflicts between them.

Of course, whether it can be done or not depends on the state of the Central Plains dynasty.

This is just his own thoughts, and no one knows the reason. But there must be a reason.

Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and saw Guo Ang standing beside him, and said: Commander Guo is doing his best, you are doing a good job.

Guo Ang looked flattered and quickly bowed respectfully: I am loyal to the emperor, which is the duty of my duty.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Guo Ang said: If the emperor doesn’t ask any questions, please give up.

Zhu Gaoxu said: You go back first and report the official affairs to the Hou Zuo Envoy.

Guo Ang kowtowed and thanked him and left the main hall.

The person Zhu Gaoxu wanted to meet was General Jier, a native of Urianha.

Jier and the Ming generals of the border army came to Peiping to report their duties and would not stay here for too long.

Zhu Gaoxu had promised to find a solution to Fuyu Wei's situation before. Now he should come up with an explanation and he can't continue to delay.

However, before asking someone to summon Ji'er, Zhu Gaoxu examined his thoughts again.

These days, Zhu Gaoxu came up with two options for Fu Yu Wei's strategy.

One of them was to maintain the position of Fuyu Guards and use them as wedges between the Urianha tribe and the Korqin tribe. The Ming Dynasty responded to the south and launched a north-south attack on Taining Guards and Duoyan Guards.

Zhu Gaoxu had such a tough strategy idea because he felt that Alutai and Adei of the Korqin tribe had been entangled with the Urianha people too deeply.Since you can no longer make peace, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

But this has some side effects. First of all, the strength of the Doyanwei and Tainingwei is not weak, and there are also many cavalrymen that can be mobilized, and there are reinforcements from the increasingly large Korqin tribe.

The Ming Dynasty launched this war, the scale will not be too small, regardless of the outcome, the cost will be very large.

This battle is not very necessary. It will not only further increase military spending, but also continue to rise recently, but will also be opposed by ministers.

The most important thing is that even if the Ming Dynasty conquered these places, it would not be easy to gain a foothold for a while, because the local Han people were too small.

For such a decision, of course, you have to think about what to do in the future. From the beginning, you have to think about the future to avoid being in a temporary dilemma.

In most areas of Liaodong, the Central Plains dynasty has not been directly controlled for many years.

For hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty, Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia occupied this land one after another, and there was basically no Han people. There was no need to think about the Yuan Dynasty, and the north was full of the Mongols.

The Ming forces entered Liaodong, which happened after the Hongwu year.

The Ming army attacked the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong, attacked several times, and then forced the military households to migrate to the farm, so that the current Liaodong Dusi, Nuergan Dusi and Daning Dusi (Daning Dusi has been in name only).

Among them, the largest population of Han people is the Liaodong Dusi, but the places where the Ming army directly stationed were just located in the Liaodong area, near Zhongwei, Tieling, and 30,000 in Chenyang; the population is also mostly military households and exiled prisoners.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu had to face the reality. In the short term, if he wanted to truly occupy Jilin and Heilongjiang, Liaodong might not have enough population.The safest thing is to gradually develop the population and gradually digest it.

Zhu Gaoxu thought carefully again and finally decided to adopt the second strategy.

After sending eunuchs to summon General Jier, Jier came to meet him shortly after waiting.

The old courtyard used to be the Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion. The scale of the County Prince's Mansion is of course far from that of the imperial palace in the capital. People come in to meet the saints, so they will not have to walk for a long time.

The chicken held the tribute very respectfully, first knocking outside the door, and then came in and gave a big gift.

As the weather gets colder, curtains are hung at the door, and there is dark red charcoal in the brazier in the room, making the indoor air very warm.

In the relatively closed and hot air, the strong smell of General Chicken suddenly came to his face.

However, Zhu Gaoxu knew that their living habits were like that, and he had no intention of disdain.

Zhu Gaoxu said: General Jier is exempted from gifts.

He then said directly, I have made arrangements for Fuyuwei.When you return to your residence, bring the imperial edict back.He moved south to the Fuyu Guard and stationed on the land south of Taining Guard.All three guards have changed their places. After you arrive in the south, the Taining Guard's pasture belongs to you; Taining Guard moves northward in turn to Duoyan Guard's place; Duoyan Guard takes over your pasture.

After hearing this, Jier said without thinking: Master, Duoyanwei and Tainingwei may not be willing to move.

It doesn't matter, at least that's the case first.If they don’t let you, you will have a good place to stay in the herdsmen.Zhu Gaoxu stroked the map in front of him with his hands, lifted up his pen, and said, "The general is approaching."

yes.The chicken walked to the table.

This is a very simple hand-drawn map with almost nothing except some big place names and rivers.

Zhu Gaoxu picked up his pen and placed it at the intersection of the East-West Liao River (southwest of Changchun), and then drew red lines along the river to the left and right.

The East Liao River and the West Liao River converge here roughly from the east and west directions, and then flow southward to the sea.

After drawing, he looked up at General Jier, and the area north of the East Liao River and the West Liao River is the area where you can lend it to your garrison.This land is not smaller than your original pasture, it should be enough.Taining Wei will not allow the place for a while, so you will stay in the herds near the Liaohe River.However, the land of Tainingwei has always belonged to you in terms of its status.

Although Zhu Gaoxu had not visited Liaodong much, he had only passed by a corner when he first made a northern expedition and returned home; but he still had common sense that the fertility of the black soil in the Northeast was not a fame.

Compared with grazing, farming output is obviously greater; however, it has not been developed yet, so it is obviously rich in aquatic plants for animal husbandry, and there are also fishing and hunting resources to supplement.

General Ji'er looked at it for a while, and indeed his expression looked quite satisfied, and he spoke: I am thanking the emperor for his grace.

Zhu Gaoxu said: If Taining and Duoyan collude with the Korqin people, it poses a threat to you, the Ming Dynasty's official army can provide reinforcements nearby, and you have no worries.

He paused for a moment and said that the court will reset the rules of mutual trading from now on, and the mutual trading location in Liaodong will probably be on the territory where you stationed in the pastoral area.Taining Guards will receive a certain number of cavalry military ranks. These people gather in battalions and will receive military pay and rewards when they protect the security around the city and garrison with the government army, just like soldiers of the government army.

Jier suddenly became even happier, unable to hide her joyful expression and said: The Lord has not forgotten us, you are too generous and generous.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Of course, I will not treat the tribe loyal to the Ming Dynasty.The Urianha people of Tainingwei and Doyanwei colluded with the Korchin tribe without authorization. They received the favors of the Ming Dynasty and would definitely be far inferior to you.

After he said that, he picked up a seal, put it on the map, and handed it to General Jier: Take the map back.After that, Hou Zuo Envoy will write an imperial edict and hand it over to General Ji'er, and you go and find him to take it.

The chicken took the map with both hands and bowed with her hands pressed her chest.

Zhu Gaoxu said meaningfully: I have high hopes for General Jier, and I will come to Peiping in the future.Next time you bring your son’s family to accompany you, our friendship with you should continue for a long time.

General Jier nodded and agreed, thanked him again, and left the main hall with great satisfaction.

Zhu Gaoxu also got up and left the chair, preparing to end today's business.

He turned his head and looked outside the door, and then secretly decided that he would leave Peking recently, walk a while along the Bohai Sea, and then plan to return to Beijing.

The remaining major events can only be implemented gradually by the court when they return to the capital.
