Chapter 1256 Dispatch to the rescue

The siege failed, and Wu Keshan could only order the army to temporarily return to the camp.

According to the siege situation, he found that the preparation was still insufficient, especially the stone throwing machine was too few, and it was destroyed by the Ming army in a few clicks, and he failed to contain the Ming army's artillery, so that the Ming army's artillery gave the besiegers huge damage, so the attack failed.

After returning to the camp, Wu Keshan left 10,000 people to monitor the city, and the rest of the men and horses all went to cut down trees and prepare to make some more equipment before launching a large-scale attack.

At the same time that Wu Keshan led the army to besiege Shenyang, Gao Yigong, who was in Beijing, and Wang Fuzhi, who was transferred to Beizhi by Wang Yan, had already received the news that the Mongols were attacking Liaoning.

Wang Fuzhi was brought to Beizhi by Wang Yan, which was a suppression of the Wang clan.

Wang Yan's identity is different now, the prison country is equivalent to the prince of the country, considering the whole country, not seeking benefits for a certain family, his primary purpose is to stabilize the world and maintain balance.

To a certain extent, he is on the side of the people, so the Wang clan must be restricted, so that they will not lose their tails.

However, the Wang clan is the treasure of the country that he can rely on, and he can't give up his hands and feet, so he has his scale, and the Wang clan must also have a scale when seeking the interests of the family, and it can't be unrestrained.

Driving Wang Fuzhi out of the central government is a warning to let the clan grasp the proportions.

Wang Fuzhi had no rejection of being the governor of Beizhi. In recent years, the Wang clan of Hengyang has become a large clan with a rich rival country from a second-rate clan in Huguang, and the acquisition of Hunan embroidery in the entire Hunan and the porcelain comprador in Changsha kiln are almost monopolized by the Wang clan and relatives, and the fertile land under the name of the Wang clan is also tens of thousands of hectares, which is indeed a bit excessive.

These things are not necessarily the income of Wang Yan and Wang Fu, in fact, one of Wang Fu's families is still relatively honest and does not care about this money, what they want is political rights and interests.

They have the bonus of eating the Five Virtues, which is enough for expenses, but there are even some distant people in other houses, so they don't care so much, and they can't manage it even if they want to.

As long as officials know who is from the Wang family, they will be treated with special preferential treatment, which is not something that Wang Yan said can be stopped and avoided without discrimination.

After all, the people below don't know whether what the prison country said is true or false, and there are always some people who want to go through the evil door to slap Wang Yan.

This has been the norm of human society for thousands of years, and even today it has not been resolved, and there are always many unspoken rules.

Wang Yan's attitude towards the Wang clan is to rely on, but he also has to prevent them from messing around.

In the traditional patriarchal society, Wang Yan could not avoid it, and he had to reuse the clansmen and the township party.

He drove Wang Fuzhi out of the central government, which is a kind of restriction, but it can't be too restrictive, so the position of the governor of Beizhi is still more suitable.

After Wang Fuzhi took over the governorship of Beizhi, there were many things to deal with, but one of the most important tasks was to deal with the problem of relocating people and filling Liao.

Although Liaoning is a province, it is temporarily supervised by the governor of Beizhi because of its sparse population.

There are so many landless tenant farmers in Henan, Wang Yan put the account under him, and he came to Beizhi to be the governor, also to solve this matter and wipe his ass clean.

Since last year, Wang Fuzhi has made statistics on the landless tenants in Henan and other places, and many of them have already arrived in Beizhi, just waiting for the heavy snow to melt, and then go out of Shanhaiguan to Liaoning.

At this time, the news of the Mongol attack on Shenyang will undoubtedly affect the plan to relocate the people and fill the Liao, and once the plan is delayed, the imperial court will have to support these tenants for a while.

Hundreds of thousands of people have to be transported from the south to eat and drink, which is not a small number.

After receiving the news, Wang Fuzhi immediately summoned Gao Yigong and many officials from Beizhi to discuss.

At this time, in the yamen of the governor of Beizhi, generals such as Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun, as well as the political envoy Deng Shilian and the officials of the three divisions, arrived early.

The officials of the governor's palace led everyone into the festival hall, which was very spacious, with seats on the top, a carved wooden screen behind it, and mahogany seats on both sides, which was antique and ancient, and there was a passage in the middle of the hall.

Many civil and military officials quickly sat down in the rank of civil and military officials, Gao Yigong sat at the head of the right, and opposite him was Deng Shilian, the political envoy.

According to the original trend of history, Deng Shilian will become a bachelor of the Yongli Dynasty, and finally follow Yongli into Myanmar and die in the curse of water.

But now his fate has changed, he was originally in Guangxi, after the Ming Dynasty recovered the north, there was a lack of officials to govern the north, so he was transferred to Beizhi as a political envoy.

Gao Yigong in the hall hugged his fist slightly, and the latter nodded, and they each talked to the people around them.

When all the people who should have arrived arrived, Wang Fuzhi, who was wearing a black sand hat and a scarlet official robe with a crane, strode out from behind the screen and sat down directly in the middle hall.

As soon as he came in, the civil and military forces present got up together, and when Wang Fuzhi, who was a little thin in shape and cheeks, sat down in the right position, and glanced at them with a pair of very divine eyes, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and said loudly: "See the middle hall!" ”

"Sit down!" Wang Fuzhi waved his hand lightly, and when everyone sat back, he said directly: "The imperial court set up Liaoning Province outside the Guan, the purpose of which is to consolidate the territory, settle the landless tenant farmers in the Guan, and solve the contradiction of land annexation in the Guan. The prison state was very concerned about this matter, and handed over the matter of relocating the people to fill the liao to the official, who did not dare to slack off. ”

Wang Fuzhi paused, and then said, "This official has discussed a lot with Deng Fantai about this. In order to do a good job in the matter of relocating people to fill Liaoning, there must be two things: one is to ensure the stability of Liaoning, and the other is to ensure Liaoning's prosperity. With these two points, the population of Liaoning can grow year by year, and our dynasty will be able to control this place for a long time! ”

"In the land of Liaoning, if you want to be stable, first of all, you must have the guarantee of the border army, and secondly, you must encourage farming, so that the people can have food to eat, but if you want to be rich, you can't just grow food. Deng Fantai said that for example, there are looms in Jiangnan, porcelain in Jiangxi, Hunan embroidery and cotton, and Sichuan brocade and medicine fields, all of which have their own characteristics, so they can get rich. ”

If a place wants to be stable, it is enough to have food to eat, but if you want to become rich, you need to have its own characteristics, special products or products.

With the development of the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty society, and the relative abundance of food after the Ming Dynasty obtained the economic colony of Nanyang, officials in many provinces began to realize that they could not achieve political achievements by relying solely on farming, and would only make the local area poorer and poorer, so they couldn't help but use their brains to plant cash crops or make new products.

"In Liaoning, after careful study, although this place is bitterly cold, the land is very fertile, suitable for soybean planting, this thing can be eaten, can be used to extract oil, and the remaining soybean meal can also feed livestock, which is the characteristic. In addition, the fur outside the customs is also urgently needed in the customs area. If we plan well, we can make a political achievement in Liaoning! ”

The climate outside the customs is cold, and there are not many crops suitable for planting, and soybeans are one of them.

"For this reason, the official and the Beizhi government have made a lot of preliminary preparations, just wait for the ice and snow to melt, and then release the people out of the customs, but I don't want that at this time, the Mongols will suddenly attack Shenyang, which will affect the planning of the official!"

From the prime minister of the central government, he was put into the local governor as a governor, although Wang Fuzhi accepted it, but there was still a gap in his heart, he didn't want to stay in the local place all the time, he still wanted to enter the central government again, but this required political achievements.

It is a troublesome matter to relocate the people to fill in Liao, but it is also a good opportunity, this is a plan for ten years and a hundred years, if it can be done well, then close to this matter, and when the four-year assessment period arrives, he will have the opportunity to re-enter the central government.

For this reason, he made careful plans for the future of the entire Liaoning, and he did not allow any accidents to disrupt his plans.

Speaking of this, Wang Fuzhi sat up straight and looked at the generals majestically, "This official plans to switch it in February, but Mongolia has entered the Kou and ravaged Liaoning, which is extremely hateful!" Several generals led the troops to fight, so let's talk about how to drive the Mongols out of Liaoning without affecting the imperial court's plans? ”

Wang Fuzhi's meaning by this is very simple, that is, he has prepared to open in February and implement the national policy of moving the people to fill Liao, and he does not want things to be affected, so he asks the army to solve the siege of Shenyang and drive the Mongols back to the grassland within February.

It is now the first month, and the snow outside the pass is almost knee-deep, and the Ming army is not the Mongols and Jurchens who have lived outside the pass for many years, so there is no way to march at all.

The generals under the hall were silent, Gao Yigong and Liu Tichun also looked serious, and after half a sound, Liu Tichun stood up and saluted: "Lord Zhongtang, the Mongols are just a remnant of the defeated army, so there is nothing to worry about, but today is not good for me, the snow outside the pass is very thick, it is inconvenient for the army to march, and the last general feels that it is better to wait for the snow to melt before sending troops, in order to avoid unnecessary losses of the army." ”

"The first batch of people who entered Liao, a total of 323,600 people. If they can't plant soybeans in the early spring, how long will the imperial court need to raise them? Wang Fuzhi frowned, and said undoubtedly: "Besides, Governor Zhang and Gao Yuanhou are now in Shenyang City. The imperial court made them guard this place, if they abandon it now, it will condone the arrogance of the Mongols externally, and hurt the hearts of the army and the people internally, how will the imperial court drive the military and the people in the future? ”

Hearing Wang Fuzhi say this, Gao Yigong stood up after pondering for a while, "Since this is the case, then the only way to go up is to take the sea route and go up the frozen Hunhe River." ”

The Bohai Sea is surrounded by Shandong and the Liaodong Peninsula, and the wind and waves are lighter, although the wind is not favorable now, and the ship may be a little slower, but it is better than wading through the snow.

Take the sea route to the entrance of the Liao River, the ice on the river is easier to walk than the road covered with heavy snow, and the soldiers can step on the ice, go up the Liao River, and then turn to the Hunhe River to go to Shenyang. The Mongols did not have many troops, and as soon as reinforcements arrived, the Mongols would not want to take Shenyang······
