Chapter 784: Unpaid Farming
Everyone glanced at each other, and many of them showed eager looks.
With the demise of the vast majority of the Manchu high-level and living forces led by Huang Taiji, the Manchu country can be said to have existed in name only, even if Huang Taiji transferred the most elite Zhenghuang Banner to Hetuala in advance, but in fact, the general trend has gone, and their final fate in the face of the Ming army's offensive has been foreseeable.
Now attacking Hetuara is simply three fingers grasping the snail, nine out of ten, who is not tempted in the face of such a credit that can almost be said to be given away for nothing.
Soon, someone stepped up.
"Governor, Hou Ye, the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters!"
When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Zu Dashou.
I saw Zu Dashou say loudly: "Governor, the last general will guarantee that Hetuara will be taken down within half a month, and all those Manchu remnants will be taken down and sent to you, if not, I am willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”
"Governor, the last general is also willing to go!"
"The last will go!"
As the words fell, Zu Dale, Zhao Shujiao, and other Liaodong generals stepped forward one after another to ask for their lives.
Looking at the generals who came forward to ask for their lives, Sun Chengzong was both relieved and a little embarrassed, especially what made him feel ashamed was that there was no shadow of the generals of the Jiangning Army among these generals who asked for their lives.
Is it because Jiang Ningjun doesn't understand how easy this credit is? Of course not, in Sun Chengzong's view, this is just that people disdain to take credit.
On the one hand, they are desperately grabbing credit, and on the other hand, they are calmly watching, so that the two sides make a judgment, how not to embarrass Sun Chengzong, who is the governor of Liaodong.
Coughing lightly, Sun Chengzong turned his head and asked Yang Feng, "Jiang Ninghou, I don't know what your opinion is on this?" ”
Yang Feng smiled faintly: "As the commander-in-chief, you are naturally the sole decider. Since the generals have the intention of doing this for the national merit, it is naturally difficult to stop it, and our Jiangning Army will not be involved in this matter, so it is good for you to decide, Lord Sun. ”
Sun Chengzong knew that Yang Feng was giving himself face, of course he wouldn't think that Yang Feng couldn't see the credit in this, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said: "Although Huang Taiji and many princes and ministers are prisoners of dead prisoners, no one knows how many backers they have in Hetuala, so we can't take this battle lightly."
Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dale, the three of you have your own troops and horses in charge of the headquarters to Hetuala, and you must annihilate all the remnants of the Manchu Qing there, and this governor and Jiang Ning are waiting for your good news here! ”
"The last general obeys, thank you to the governor!"
Zu Dashou and the other three were overjoyed, and they all bowed down to thank Sun Chengzong.
After arranging this matter, Sun Chengzong said to everyone: "Everyone, this official has summoned you to come today, in addition to taking advantage of the victory to pursue, there is another thing to discuss with you.
After the recovery of Shenyang, it can be said that Liaodong has returned to the hands of my Ming Dynasty, and the top priority is to re-establish the Shenyang Guard Garrison, but it is not enough to have a garrison, but there must be people.
Moreover, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the imperial court would not spare no effort to support our Liaodong as before, so how to maintain the survival of the Liaodong army has become a top priority at present.
However, Liaodong was originally vast and sparsely populated, and after decades of Tatar poisoning, the Han people in Liaodong have shrunk from more than 2 million to less than 500,000 so far. ”
"This ......"
As soon as Sun Chengzong's words came out, all the generals present were dumbfounded.
When it comes to how to fight a war and how to arrange troops, most of the people present can say one, two, or three, but they are blind when it comes to this kind of issue involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and even how to increase the reproduction population.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but shake his head slightly in disappointment: "Isn't it true that you don't have any way at all?" ”
The generals couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, the governor really looked up to them too much, such a big issue even if the imperial court had to hold several court meetings before it could be decided, asking them these people was simply asking them blindly.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be secretly a little anxious in his heart, as the emperor of the dynasty, the governor of Liaodong, and the scholar of Wenhua Palace, he naturally couldn't finish the war like a military attaché, and he also had to consider the post-war reconstruction and even how to let the Ming Dynasty take root again in Liaodong.
Yesterday and last night, he hardly slept all night, thinking about this problem, but still had no clue, and today he proposed to listen to the opinions of the audience, but the result made him very disappointed.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan spoke, and saw him stand up and bow to Sun Chengzong and say: "Governor, the lower officials think that Liaodong has been killed and poisoned by the Tatars for many years, and there is only one way to quickly increase the population, that is, to mobilize the people to relocate from the Guannei, and only in this way can the population of Liaodong be increased in a short period of time." ”
Sun Chengzong sighed: "Element, this law official has also thought of it, but outside the gate is a barren and bitter cold place, how easy is it to mobilize the people to move outside the gate, and more importantly, what about the silver for relocation?" What about grain? Where did all this stuff come from? ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan stopped talking,
The Chinese people's attachment to the land is well known, but if they can't really live, who wants to leave their hometown and come to a strange place to start life again, let alone Liaodong, a famous bitter cold place.
Well, even if you want to mobilize the people, you have to pay for the settlement of people, right? You have to give people food, seeds, and farm tools, right? You're going to have to provide them with food before they produce food, right?
Which of these things does not require silver? What's more, the number of mobilized people is not hundreds or thousands, at least tens of millions of people, so many mouths to eat and drink, the silver needed is gone, where can the imperial court afford it today?
At this time, a voice sounded, "Actually, it is not impossible to solve this problem. ”
"Oh?"
Sun Chengzong's body was shocked, and he looked at the person who spoke in surprise, that is, Yang Feng, who was sitting next to him.
"Jiang Ninghou, doesn't he have a good plan?"
Yang Feng bowed his head and said: "I don't dare to be a good policy, but I do have some foolish opinions, I want to discuss it with Lord Sun, if you think it is appropriate, we can jointly give the court a discount." ”
Sun Chengzong is such a smart person, he immediately knew that there were some things Yang Feng didn't want to say in front of everyone, he immediately nodded, "Since that's the case, then you guys should disperse first." Master Hou, please follow the official to the inner hall to speak. ”
The two of them returned to the inner hall, and Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "There is no one here, Jiang Ninghou might as well say it if he has something to say." ”
"So I'm going to get to the point." Yang Feng said: "Did Lord Sun ever think about distributing the land in Liaodong to the people for cultivation free of charge? ”
"Farming for the people free of charge?" Sun Chengzong frowned when he heard this.
