Chapter 1274: The Heart Is Touched

Tian Qi said in the report that the newly acquired Jianghuai land, because it has been at the forefront of the confrontation between the enemy and us since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, has frequent gains and losses, and the border has also changed repeatedly. And because of the war, the people's taxes and conscription were very heavy, and their lives were difficult, so that the people's sense of belonging to the court decreased. After that, the Mengyuan went south to the south of the Yangtze River and lost it, and the Lianghuai region, as the boundary between the north and the south that it artificially demarcated, also implemented different policies to manage.

As a result, the Lianghuai region also became a fief of the Mongol aristocracy, and a large number of households from the north moved south here, where they cultivated fields and opened horse farms. In order to guard against the southerners, a large number of Meng, Yuan, and Han armies were stationed in the Huainan area. In terms of the establishment of the Mengyuan army, its garrison army belonged to the local army system, and under the principle of 'internal and external maintenance', the Mengyuan rulers stationed garrison troops throughout the country, forming a complete set of 'system of transferring troops and guarding them'.

The basic pattern is based on the Mongolian army Tunheluo and Shandong, according to the heart of the world; The Han army and the Tanma Red Army marched south of the Huai River to the South China Sea; And the new annexed army between or in between. The arrangement also basically follows the order of ethnic hierarchies. The two Mongol armies distributed in Henan and Shandong provinces were the main force of the military defense line in the south of Zhongshu Province and the provinces along the Yangtze River in the south.

Due to the process of the Northern Expedition, most of the Wanhu Prefecture of the two capitals of Mongolia and Yuan were annihilated in Jiangdong, and the Song army quickly entered the Lianghuai region, resulting in the Mongols, Semu people and northerners living in the Lianghuai region not having time to flee north and staying in the Lianghuai area. These people used to be the subordinate households of the Mongol aristocracy, the Han army and the Olu mansion, which was in charge of the remaining personnel of the Mongol army.

The so-called military household system means that the state forcibly appoints a part of the population to undertake military service obligations, and the household registration of this part of the population is separate from the rest of the people and is managed separately. The Yuan court was very strict in controlling the household registration of military households, except for those who were poor and had no money, who could be dismissed for the people and those with special skills who served the imperial court, who could be exempted from military registration, and once the rest of the households were issued as military households, they had to be sent out to serve in the military forever. It shall not be changed, but the father shall die and the son shall succeed, and the generation shall be a soldier.

Mengyuan's households can be roughly divided into three categories, namely, grassland ulus households, five silk food households, and private households. In the Lianghuai area, there are mainly five silk food yi households and private households, and the five silk food yi households mainly refer to the household registration of Wokotai and Meng Ge and Kublai Khan's division in Han land. Except for the Daru Huachi sent by the lord of the cast and the transfer of the five silk through the government, they mainly had a ruling and ruled relationship with the government set up by the imperial court, and their dependence on the lord was very weak.

Private households refer to the households that were occupied by the kings through captivity, subdivision, recruitment, shadow occupation, etc., and they were called "cowardly mouths", which meant sons and daughters of the family. They are households outside the "large number" of the imperial court, and they belong to the household registration. Although the imperial court also has to manage this kind of households, and stipulates that the kings, princesses, and horses who belong to all kinds of private households, regardless of whether they are attached or missing, must be the number of households under the official distribution of the lawsuit.

However, the phenomenon of the kings not only recruiting all kinds of missing households, but also those who have lost their residence and separated their residences as private households is serious, and the officials are helpless. They are mainly responsible for the obligation of serving the lord, and they are not paid by the officials, and they serve the lord exclusively. There is a cowardly governor's office or promotion department to manage the private households. It is divided into the names of craftsmen, eagle hunters, households, farmers, and school captains.

Due to the arrangement of the Mengyuan court, the local population structure of the Lianghuai region was changed to a certain extent, and a situation of mixed Hu and Han living was formed, which was much more complicated than the situation in which the Han people accounted for the vast majority in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, the military households and the family members of the Oulu battalion can be regarded as reservists, and their relatives have been killed, wounded or captured in the war, so they are full of hatred for the Song court.

The Mongol nobles did not all belong to the oppressed and exploited slave households, among which because of the enslavement and their affinity with the lord, the treatment of various professional private households also showed diversity, so many people had a strong dependence on the lord, and the occupation of the Song court made them lose many privileges, so they were also hostile to the Song court.

Haozhou land spans both sides of the Huai River, and Shouyang obstructs the Huai Belt Mountain, which is the danger of Huainan and is a military important place. Coal and iron minerals are abundant here, and there are many rivers passing through, the south is a mountainous area, the middle is a gentle hill, and the north is along the Huai alluvial plain, which can be cultivated and can be used as pasture. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, it was promoted to a government, not only stationed an army, but also became a fief of the Mengyuan nobles, where they grazed horses in the tuntian.

Therefore, Tian Qi believes that it is the particularity of Haozhou that makes the people's feelings extremely complicated, and those beneficiaries of the Mengyuan period are not reconciled, they are obedient on the surface, but they try to make trouble in private. From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with the measures taken by Zhizhou Zhang Song, which stabilized the regime by striking at the Mongol nobles and their dependents. However, he still underestimated his power and influence in Haozhou, neglected their covert activities, and did not lack vigilance against the emerging turmoil, which led to rumors and the situation got out of control in an instant.

In addition, Zhang Song misjudged the situation and thought that the state army could control the situation. The Haozhou Prefecture Army has just been formed, and its backbone is just a regiment of the Chizhou Prefecture Army, which is not only weak in combat effectiveness, but also insufficient in strength, and he did not report to the reinforcements in time, missing the best opportunity to control the situation, and some people secretly made trouble, spread rumors, and incited civil unrest, which eventually led to the situation getting out of control and causing a large number of people to flee.

Tian Qi analyzed that although there was no wave of fugitives in other states and counties, it was only because the remnants of Mengyuan were weak, but they did not completely succumb, and as long as there was turmoil, it would cause turmoil like Haozhou. Therefore, he thought that he should not only be treated with gentle means, but should also eradicate the remnants of the Mengyuan forces, severely crack down on the resistance forces, and show grace to those military households from the bottom and the lower households at the bottom for my use, so as to divide and disintegrate the pro-Mengyuan forces, so as to obtain long-term governance and stability......

Tian Qi's report touched Zhao Hao a little, it seems that his strategy when he first entered Jiangnan was a mistake, although he considered the public and political conditions of the two Huai, but there are still shortcomings; In addition, he thought that he would be able to gain support if he was benevolent and treated the people well, but he ignored the dissatisfaction of those who stayed in the Lianghuai area, the former Mongolian and Yuan people, and those with vested interests.

I didn't expect that the obedience of those old forces was just forced by the powerful military oppression of the Song army, and I was satisfied with the previous 'good situation', which led to the hidden danger of turmoil being hidden. However, when the army moved forward and the rear troops were insufficient, those people felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they were ready to move.

And the outbreak of the Haozhou incident is tantamount to a wake-up call for Zhao Hao, making him realize that blindly implementing the Huairou policy is problematic. This reminded him of the mistakes made by the Ming Dynasty, when after Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country, since Hongwu, the Manchu Mongols and other ethnic groups outside the Guanwai began to go south due to the bitter cold of their lives, and came into contact with the newly established Han national regime.

Except for some of the nomads who were once enemies of the Ming Dynasty, who were left in Liaodong and incorporated into the guards of the Liaodong Prefecture, most of them were settled in Beijing or Nanjing. In addition to relocating its station, the Ming Dynasty also provided basic means of subsistence and means of production as well as rewards, such as "fifteen people including Wang Huyan Ge, the chief of the Vultures and Savages, returned from Liaodong, and gave Qi, silk clothes, and money. In March of the sixth year of Yongle, it was not: "Xile Wenhe, Qinzhenhe and other Wei Nu Zhiye people came to the court, and since Chen Yuan lived in Beijing, he gave clothes, color coins, cattle, sheep, salary, rice, and houses. "Wait.

Similar records can be seen everywhere in the historical materials, and it can be said that they are responsive, and Zhao Hao can imagine the scene at that time through the screen - an endless stream of ragged, ragged, longing followers flocked into the grand occasion of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming government treats those who come to join her with her broad, benevolent and generous mind. The Ming government not only gave extremely preferential treatment to the ethnic minorities who went south, but also gave them the greatest degree of freedom to come and go freely.

Ming Chengzu issued an edict and said: There are many people in the Northeast who come to the court, and they are willing to stay in Beijing, and they are hot in the south, and they are specially ordered to live in the two cities in Kaiyuan, and they are all living in peace. It is a felony for Han people to leave the country without anarchal documents, while the Jurchen Tatars leave the country freely and will not be supervised.

Of course, the settlers who went south also had to bear the responsibility of defending the territory of the soldiers, but compared with the Han army, which was also a soldier, one person served, and the rest of the brothers and nephews were exempt from service, and the situation of the Tartar army was better. And the Han army, as a native of the Ming Dynasty, was unserved. "No worse and no food", even if Europe can be called a welfare society today, it is impossible to compare with the Ming government. In other words, the Jurchens enjoyed supra-national treatment in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, in order to solve the daily needs of those who went south and avoid natural disasters, the Ming government also successively set up horse markets in Liaodong and Fushun to facilitate their transactions. may still feel that it is not enough, and set up a pass and a city in Kaiyuan, Guangning, to wait for Duoyan and Taining; Kaiyuan set up three passes and three cities, to wait for the Haixi Jurchen, the savage Jurchen and the Fuyu Weiren; Fushun set up a pass and a city to wait for the Jurchens in Jianzhou.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty government was too good to these foreign contenders, and Zhao Yuduju's own preferential policy was too far behind it, but what did the kindness of the Ming Dynasty in history come about......
