Since Zu Dashou returned to the Heavenly Mandate Army, he has not been awarded a specific position, and he is very uneasy in his heart, this time he was summoned by Li Zicheng by name, and he was very full of expectations, "Sinner Zu Dashou, knock to see the emperor!"

"Whether you are a 'sinner' or not, it depends on how much you have made achievements for Huaxia," Li Zicheng asked Zu Dashou to get up and said, "Have you thought about it in the past few days?" ”

"Back to the emperor, sinners are willing to make meritorious contributions to Huaxia," Zu Dashou said: "Sinners are willing to make meritorious contributions to Huaxia in any way, even if they go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the sinner will definitely have no complaints!"

"Those who have made meritorious contributions to Huaxia will naturally be protected by Huaxia and will not go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "As I said last time, I plan to set up the 'Tuobei Regiment', which will be composed of 3,000 cavalry, all equipped with high-quality Xining rifles. ”

"Xining rifles?"

"As the name suggests, the Tuobei Regiment is to expand to the north and eliminate the national troubles of the nomads forever," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "How about it, the commander of this Tuobei Regiment, do you dare to take responsibility?" ”

Zu Dashou did not hesitate at all, immediately stood up, and said loudly: "The sinner Zu Dashou is willing to be the chief general of the Tuobei Regiment and expand the territory for China and the emperor!"

"Okay, so bold, I am very relieved," Li Zicheng said: "I have made you General Guoyi, and I have full authority to control the Tuobei Regiment!"

"Wechen thank the emperor for his kindness!" Zu Dashou prostrate on the ground and knocked his head three times.

"No rudeness!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It is cold in the north, Aiqing must prepare early, all the warm clothes, tents, etc., ......"

"Wechen obeys!" After Zu Dashou got up, he said: "Your Majesty, where are the soldiers of the Tuobei Regiment?" ”

"The soldiers must be hardy, mainly selected from the third battalion, as well as my own soldiers, when necessary, they can also be recruited from the local area, but they must not be strong," Li Zicheng said: "After the selection of soldiers, there is still a period of military discipline and technical training, including horsemanship, the use of rifles, etc., I will send civilian officials to assist the generals, draw detailed topographic maps along the way, and appease the local people, of course, these civilian officials are controlled by Aiqing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zu Dashou couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were so sour that he almost burst into tears, civil officials were restrained by military generals, whether it was Daming or Huaxia, this seemed to be the first time.

Although there were only 3,000 people in the Tuobei regiment, he seemed to have become a prince......

Feeling a trace of salty liquid oozing out of his throat, Zu Dashou swallowed and foamed, suppressing the salty taste.

"In order to ensure the supply, I prepared four war horses for each soldier of the Tuobei Regiment," Li Zicheng said: "When you go out, carry as much food and clothing as possible, once you leave Shenyang, you will not have reinforcements, and there will be no follow-up supplies, everything can only rely on yourself." ”

"The minister understands!" Zu Dashou barely restrained the impulse in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, when will the Tuobei Regiment set off?" ”

"There's no hurry," Li Zicheng said: "Wait until the training of the soldiers is over, and then you can march north!"

Zu Dashou got up and saluted, "Weichen prepares as soon as possible, and waits for the holy decree of the expedition at any time!"

"Of course, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time," Li Zicheng took out a marching map, pointed to the red circle on the map, and said with a smile: "This red circle, in the north of Liaoning Province, I plan to set up a governor's palace, east to the sea, west to the Mongolian Horqin Department, including Jianzhou and Hada near the border wall

It is not surprising that this piece of land around Hada may also establish three provinces before you go on the expedition. ”

"Weichen understands," Zu Dashou arched his hand and said: "The duty of the Tuobei Regiment is to conquer the land in the red circle first?" ”

"After conquering these lands and settling the local government, you can come back and rest, and if there are casualties among the soldiers, I will replenish them!" Li Zicheng nodded, "After the establishment of this Governor's Mansion in the north of Liaoning Province, the third battalion will move north, take over this land, and liberate the Tuobei Regiment!"

"Yes!" Zu Dashou said: "Liaodong Dusi and Nuer Gandu Si are all Han lands, the emperor has taken back the Liaodong Dusi, and Weichen will take back the Nuer Gandu Si as soon as possible to repay the emperor's kindness!"

Li Zicheng nodded, "Daming Nuer Gandu Division has been abandoned for a long time, we are not familiar with the situation in the north, when you go on the expedition, don't forget to bring a guide." ”

"Wechen will remember the emperor's teachings!"

"This Governor's Mansion in the north of Liaoning Province...... On the day of completion, I will entitle Aiqing as a baron," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The baron is indeed not high, Aiqing wants a higher title, so he can only develop north," he pointed to the north of the red circle, "the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the Beishan ...... further north."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zu Dashou once again prostrate in front of Li Zicheng, he is a general who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and betrayed the Han people, can get such a trust from the emperor and carry such a heavy burden of China...... "The minister will be ruined to repay the emperor!"

"Aiqing is flat!" Li Zicheng stood up, paced two steps, came to Zu Dashou, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Northern Xinjiang, I will hand it over to Aiqing!"

"The emperor can rest assured, as long as the micro-ministers are angry, the micro-ministers will live up to the emperor!"

When Bai Guangen was summoned, he did not delay much, Li Zicheng inquired about the prisoners of war in the city, and learned that sure enough, as Bumu Butai said, the prisoners of war had already surrendered to Huaxia and joined the Eagle Cavalry.

On the Mongolian side of Horqin, there was no movement, and obviously there was no intention of revenge for the Manchus, but the various ministries did not send envoys like Huaxia.

It's been so long since Shengjing City was broken, and the neighboring Horqin tribes must have gotten the message, are they waiting?

As long as he didn't avenge the Manchu Qing, he put aside the matter of Horqin for the time being, and asked Bai Guangen to assist Zu Dashou and form the Tuobei regiment as soon as possible.

The last person Li Zicheng met was naturally the highest civil official in Liaoning Province - Provincial Hong Chengchou!

Hong Chengchou is the governor of Liaoning Province, and the immigration of Liaoning Province to the Jianzhou Mansion is inseparable from his full support and unified scheduling.

Li Zicheng asked Hong Chengchou to sit down opposite, and said, "Hong Aiqing, what is the population of Liaoning Province now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Liaoning is a new land, and the population has not yet been fully registered," Hong Chengchou said: "According to the minister's estimate, there are about two million!"

"Only two million?" Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, according to the records in the Ming classics, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Liaodong capital reached three million, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty looted at least one million young people from around the Beijing Division, plus 100,000 young people looted from the dynasty # Xian...... All these years have passed, and the population of Liaodong has not only not increased, but has also greatly decreased, only two million?

If it weren't for Hong Chengchou's miscalculation, the number of Han people who died under the scimitars of the Manchu cavalry was really staggering, at least two million......

Plus dozens of those who died in Liaodong

Wan Mingjun, the Han people killed near Jingshi, are really shocking.

The population of the Manchus was not so large, right?

The sins imposed on the Han people by the Manchurians are really hard to write!

No matter how you dispose of the full people, it is not excessive......

Fortunately, China has risen, the Manchus have destroyed the country, and the Manchus are extinct, and there is nothing to be angry about.

"Your Majesty ......" Hong Chengchou saw that Li Zicheng was gloomy, and he was very uneasy, could it be that he said the wrong thing? Liaoning Province really has only these populations......

"Oh!" Li Zicheng said in his heart, Liaoning Province has only a population of 2 million, if 50,000 households are immigrated to Jianzhou Prefecture, is it too much? According to the calculation of five people per household, 50,000 households is 250,000 people, close to half of the population of Liaoning Province, "I just discussed with Gong Aiqing, now the Jianzhou Mansion is almost empty, we must immigrate as soon as possible, 50,000 households may be too much, but at least 30,000 households, no matter what, let the Jianzhou Mansion City operate!"

"30,000 households?" Hong Chengchou thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, can you immigrate from Guannai?" ”

"When the conditions are ripe, I will definitely emigrate from Kannai!" Li Zicheng already thought that if there were natural and man-made disasters in some places and the people had nothing to live on, they could take the opportunity to emigrate to Liaoning Province and Jianzhou Prefecture, but in addition, they could only migrate on a small scale.

All over the country, it is best to establish an immigration registration system, once there is a new land, the population can be relocated as soon as possible, and the local sinicization can be promoted......

“……”

"Hong Aiqing, immigrants in the Guan, it is not yet possible to determine the specific date, there are no people in Jianzhou, it is impossible to establish an official government, it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of it, and for the time being, I can only immigrate from Liaoning Province for emergency relief."

"Obey the order!"

After Li Zicheng finished talking about business, he felt comfortable in his heart, and said with a smile: "Does Hong Aiqing still remember Bumu Butai?" ”

"Bumu Butai?" Hong Chengchou was shocked, could it be that his affair with Bumu Butai was discovered by the emperor? That was in the past, and China did not establish a state......

Li Zicheng said indifferently: "Chongde Emperor Taiji's Concubine Zhuang, Bumu Butai!"

"Minister...... Chen remembered......" Hong Chengchou's face turned red, but he didn't dare to continue.

Li Zicheng laughed, "Hong Aiqing doesn't have to mind, it's all in the past, hahaha, the hero is sad to be a beauty!"

Hong Chengchou's head was lowered to his chest, "Your Majesty, minister...... Shame on ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand, "If Bumu Butai appears in front of Aiqing, is Aiqing still willing to marry her?" ”

"Ah......" Hong Chengchou was shocked, raised his eyes to look at Li Zicheng, and was at a loss for a while.

"In the past, Bumu Butai was the concubine of Emperor Chongde, and later the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the biological mother of Emperor Shun, Aiqing naturally didn't think about him, but now?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Beauty and career are sometimes not contradictory. ”

"Your Majesty ......" Hong Chengchou's heart turned countless thoughts, but he still didn't dare to express his position, "Bumu Butai is full of people after all...... No, she's a Mongolian Korqin ......"

"No matter what happened before, now she is a Han Chinese," Li Zicheng paused and glanced at Hong Chengchou, "If Bumu Butai appears in front of you, is Aiqing willing to marry her?" ”

"This ......" Hong Chengchou's mind was very confused, and he didn't understand the emperor's true intentions, so he said: "Your Majesty, is Bumu Butai in Shenyang City?" ”
