Only then did Zhu Youzhen realize that what is called money is heroic courage. The deposit converted into nearly 12 million yuan of Da Ming Yuan finally dispelled his last hesitation.

There is nothing faster than making sure they and their families are fed as quickly as the quickest way to make the soldiers of Dongjiang Town feel loyal to him. The General Logistics Department will take over the distribution of food and salary for the three associations in Dongjiang Town, which can also minimize the greed of the generals of Dongjiang Town for military salaries.

And the most important thing is that the original loyalty of the Dongjiang Town army to the personal generals will be greatly weakened. After all, Dongjiang Town is not Liaoxi Town, most of the generals in Dongjiang Town are from the middle and lower levels of the army, and they can only get to their current position by relying on outstanding performance on the battlefield.

These generals do not have very good family backgrounds, so they can't use money to entrap a large number of middle-level officers and buy some elite soldiers like the generals of Liaoxi. Therefore, when he asked the General Logistics Department to take over the logistics of Dongjiang Town, even if such a small group of people objected, most of the soldiers were still happy to see their food and salary guaranteed.

Under the general trend, the imperial court's infiltration and adaptation of Dongjiang Town will also greatly reduce the difficulty. Even if Mao Wenlong had some thoughts, if he couldn't give better treatment than the imperial court, he could only rely on his personal prestige to lead the army. But in the past, with the slogan of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty to unite people's hearts, how long can such prestige be squandered.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and then instructed Wang Chengen, who walked into the room and stood aside: "Tomorrow, you call the officials of the General Logistics Department, the steward of the Sihai Commercial Bank, and the Hecheng Nan of the Central Bank for a meeting, and let the General Logistics Department design a plan to prepare to take over the logistics supply from Lushunkou in Dongjiang Town to Gwanglu Islands, as well as the garrison and military families on Jeju Island.

In addition, the general logistics department should cooperate with the Sihai Commercial Bank and the central bank to set up front-line service cooperatives and military banks in the above-mentioned areas to ensure the supply of materials for the front-line troops and their families, as well as the distribution and savings of non-commissioned officers' allowances.

Let the Ministry of Posts and Trade also send personnel to participate, from Lushun Port to Phi Dao, it is necessary to set up a post office, and all active military personnel or military families who mail letters to the army are free of charge.

After the above items are budgeted, the expenses are allocated from the secret account. ”

Although Wang Chengen felt a little painful, he also knew that the money was very important, so he quickly accepted it. Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and continued: "From March next year, businessmen going to Donggang Town and the Kingdom of Korea must apply for a license from the Ministry of International Trade and Postal Affairs, and each license must indicate the businessman's business scope and the amount of funds, and it will be reviewed once a year.

When going to Donggang Town and the Kingdom of Korea to trade, it is forbidden to carry silver taels, and paper money must be used for trading, and if any merchant is found to refuse to accept paper money in the course of trading, the license will be revoked immediately and a certain amount of fines will be imposed, and no business license will be applied for again for two years.

Ordered the central bank to send staff to establish branches in Seoul and branches in various commercial and port cities in North Korea. He instructed Wang Huazhen to notify the Kingdom of Korea that the King of Korea should issue a royal decree approving the circulation of the Great Ming Yuan in the Kingdom of Korea, and that when the local government of the Kingdom collected taxes, it was not allowed to refuse to accept the Great Ming Yuan..."

When Wang Chengen bowed his head and took notes on Chongzhen's order, Zhu Youzhen finally had a clearer idea in his heart. Every time the central bank issues a banknote in North Korea, it is equivalent to borrowing a dollar of resources from North Korea, which is even more efficient than robbing money. The only concern now is what resources North Korea has to lend to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to grain and ginseng, North Korea also has a little seafood and Korean paper. If these traditional goods are relied upon, it is estimated that the annual trade volume between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty will not exceed 1 million taels. However, the northern mountains of North Korea are vertical and horizontal, and various mineral resources are abundant, if they can be developed, then it is undoubtedly the best industrial food for the industry that has just started in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen jumped in the other direction again, "... Let me inform the Institute of Geography and Geology of Yenching University, tomorrow I will go to see the researchers of the institute and visit the results of their research in the past year. ”

Without waiting for Wang Chengen to answer, he turned back to Lu Qi and said, "Inform the General Staff to formulate a plan for repairing Jinzhou City and set up a defense line in Nanshan of Jinzhou." Again, the total budget is allocated from a secret account.

Seventy miles below the city of Jinzhou, at the Qingni Haikou on the shore of the Yellow Sea, a port city was re-established here to serve as a logistics base for the defense of Jinzhou and Nanshan. This new city was called Dalian, and it was not only necessary to set up barracks, but also to build a fishing port and a commercial wharf to supplement the supply of supplies from Lushunkou to the garrison of Jinzhou City.

In addition, the internal government should speed up the steps of relocating Liaodong refugees from Dongjiang Town. The number of people to be relocated must not be less than 3,000 per month next year and 30,000 throughout the year. Efforts should be made to reduce the number of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town to 150,000 within three to four years, so as to greatly reduce the pressure on grain transportation in Dongjiang Town.

The coast from Liaodong to North Korea is a region rich in fishery resources, and the government continues to allocate silver taels to support the fishing work in Donggang Town. This Dalian New Town is the best fishery processing location in Liaodong Bay..."

Nearly 4 million yuan was spent on Dongjiang Town in one go, and Zhu Youzhen, who had just been overjoyed by the sharp increase in the number in the secret account, was also a little distressed.

Zhu Youzhen finally ended the topic of money and turned back to the Liu Xingzuo incident.

“… Someone was sent to inform him that Zhang Chun, the soldier of Yongping and Yanjian 2nd Road, had been impeached for all crimes before without substantiation, and he should have been reinstated, but there were many contradictions between him and Wang Zaijin, so this time he was simply transferred to the Ministry of Rites and responsible for all negotiations with Houjin.

Let the Criminal Department release Zhang Chun, and then order him to go to Jinzhou to negotiate with the Houjin envoy. Negotiation content: Yipi Island did not accommodate Liu Aita as a person; Second, although Phi Dao has the matter of sheltering fugitives from Liaodong, Houjin also has the matter of sheltering fugitives from the Ming Dynasty.

If the Later Jin Dynasty demanded that the Ming Dynasty return the Liaodong fugitives, then the Later Jin Dynasty should return the rebel generals who fled to the Later Jin Dynasty, such as Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, Tong Yangxing and their families.

Since Sanhou Jin wants to accuse me of taking in fugitives, we should submit detailed information about the fugitives so that we can check whether they are indeed the fugitives.

In addition, Zhang Chun was asked to set up a yamen in Jinzhou and be stationed in Jinzhou to deal with the negotiation matters raised by Hou Jin. ”

Zhu Youzhen paused, and then continued to speak: "Let the General Staff Order to send Liu Xingzuo and his family members and officers who surrendered with him to the capital, and the ordinary soldiers will be dismissed to Jeju Island for scattered resettlement.

Ordered Lin Yuanzhong to send people to screen and interrogate these soldiers separately, and be sure to find out their past experiences. Regardless of whether they are innocent or not, they are not allowed to leave the Jeju Island resettlement site for a year, nor are they allowed to participate in the military organization.

Even during this year, there was no change in these people, and the resettlement work must be carried out far away from the Liaodong front, and it is forbidden to place groups of more than three people in the same unit.

As for Liu Xingzuo and the others, after they went to Beijing, they were taken over by the Social Investigation Institute, and after they were also separated, they were also separated to make a record of the interrogation, and a file was established for each of them. Restriction of residence, but preferential treatment in life.

Remember that it was an inquiry, not an interrogation, Liu Xingzuo was the one who joined Nurhachi before he raised his army, and he has always been trusted by the old slave.

He must know very well about the internal relationship of Houjin, no matter how loyal he is to Daming, I only need the information in his head.

I will give you a month, and if you can't find anything suspicious within a month, then you will disperse these people. Arrange for Liu Xingzuo to go to the Army Military Academy to teach the military history of the wars of the Later Jin.

The others arranged to go to the area south of the Yangtze River and send a few to the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian, so that they could reorganize the armies of Zhejiang and Fujian. ”

Lu Qi quickly recorded in the small notebook, and after hearing Chongzhen stop, he immediately replied: "After the minister goes back, he will send a document to Lin Yuanzhong, asking him to assist the messenger of the General Staff to send Liu Xingzuo and others back to the capital." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded subconsciously after hearing this, he couldn't help yawning and said, "In addition to this matter, is there anything else to report today?" ”

Lu Qi took a step back, saying that he had nothing else to report. Wang Chengen took a step forward and said to Chongzhen: "A report was sent from Fengzhen today, under the auspices of Yuan Chonghuan, there are more than 60,000 people from the Mongolian Tumut tribe and other tribes, and they are willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

From Yinshan, Daqingshan to Bashang Grassland, outside the Datong side wall, near Jining Haizi, this land has been completely incorporated into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, according to His Majesty's suggestion, this land was divided into 12 banners with thousands of households as a unit.

Among them, the Tumut tribe occupied 8 banners, and the other small tribes merged into 4 banners. Yuan Chonghuan suggested that 12 chieftains be given the title of "Zasak", in addition to the establishment of a league leader for every four banners.

In addition to the above tribes, there are still more than 30,000 Mongolian tribes headed by Karaqin and Maomingan, who are unwilling to be completely subordinate to the rule of our Ming Dynasty.

They planned to move north of Jining Haizi to the Xilin Gol steppe after spring, but they were willing to maintain tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty and swore an oath of obedience to the Shunyi king Bu Shitu.

In addition, there are nearly 20,000 Mongolian herdsmen who have lost their tribes, or less than 100 Mongolian tribes, who are willing to completely abandon the tribal system and accept the Ming Dynasty's policy of compiling households and uniting people.

Yuan Chonghuan suggested that these Mongols should be placed in the steppe area between the mouth and the Dushi as a buffer zone between Xuanhua and other Mongol tribes.

In addition, in his report, he greatly praised the role of military hospitals, whose deeds in helping border and herdsmen in the border areas have dispelled the resentment of the low-level herdsmen of the right-wing Mongolian tribes that we demand that they must fix pastures for grazing in the future.

King Bu Shitu of Shunyi is especially grateful to the military hospital for the smallpox prevention and treatment carried out by the Tumut tribesmen. He hopes to be able to go to Beijing to meet His Majesty and express his gratitude to you. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "Then let him go to the capital to have a walk, but the right-wing Mongolia has just experienced a war, and now it is going to re-establish its garrison, and it is more appropriate to not exceed 100 people in Beijing..."
