Although the imperial examination reform is a big matter, but after all, there is still a year and a half of preparation time, no more, and even a year can be postponed, Gao Hongtu and Sun Chuanting and others have time to prepare, raise, Gao Hongtu has deep experience, has passed the age of sixties, in the career, has basically reached the peak, if you want to really shine in the annals of history, then it can be said that this is the only chance, but also the last chance.

Without Zhu Jie's supervision, Gao Hongtu will do a good job, for these people, reputation is much more expensive than small lives.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

There was no important business in the Guannai, but Manchuria and Monan were good news.

After all, the Manchurian bannermen live in a cold place, are physically strong, proficient in cavalry and archery, and are born cavalry materials, which is an incomparable advantage for the people of the Central Plains, and want to pass through the entire Manchuria, relying solely on the Tianwei army transferred from the Guannei, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch it, and it is good to say that Liaodong and Jilin alone, but then to the north, to the Heilongjiang River Basin, and even north of the Heilongjiang River, perennial ice and snow, When the soldiers of the Central Plains arrived in such a place, they were extremely unsuitable for the climate, and their combat strength was greatly reduced, which was not a good thing for the defense of the frontier.

Yes, Li Dingguo played the imperial court, requesting that the banner people and Mongolian herdsmen be the mainstay, recruit soldiers, and prepare to build a town of troops, all of which are cavalry, and garrison Liaodong with the fourth town of the Tianwei Army, and attack the north with the cavalry of Manmeng Town to be formed, and garrison the Heilongjiang River Valley, however, it is obvious that if you want to control the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, not everyone can do it.

"Bai Gu, Yifan, you all take a look, what do you two think of the music sent by Ning Yu?"

Sun Chuanting and Xu Yifan watched the concert and glanced at each other.

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the preparation for the construction of the Manchurian cavalry in the chapter of Lord Ning Yu is quite pertinent, and the Liao people guard the Liao land, which is the national policy of the Ming Dynasty in the past hundred years, and now that Manchuria has been destroyed, then our territory will continue to advance to the north for thousands of miles, to the bitter cold land in the north, the soldiers in the pass are extremely inconvenient to garrison, and they cannot endure the severe cold, which has nothing to do with combat power, it is completely a test of the limits of the human body, and the minister agrees with the opinion of Lord Li Dingguo, preparing to build the Manchurian cavalry, passing through Manchuria, If necessary, we can even withdraw all the Tianwei troops, after all, now the entire territory of Manchuria no longer has a large-scale combat power, and it will not be able to pose a huge threat to us at all......"

Sun Chuanting echoed: "Yifan is right, but the only thing to worry about is that the Manchurian banner people and Mongolian herdsmen, not my race, their hearts will be different, we can't help but take precautions, the minister thinks that even if the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry is formed, it must be transferred as an elite force, and at the same time a general is appointed as the chief officer to control the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, so that it can be ......"

Zhu Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, let Duan Xuan go, pass on the decree, Duan Xuan, the squire of the Ministry of Intelligence, will serve as the governor of North Manchuria, and concurrently serve as the chief soldier of North Manchuria, command all military and political affairs north of the Songhua River, prepare to build the North Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry town, and patrol everywhere!" Garrison Jianzhou Guard. ”

Xu Yifan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you want to really include Manchuria in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the best way is to get rid of the people!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Jie glanced at Xu Yifan with interest and asked, "Tell me, how do you get rid of the people?" ”

Xu Yifan said in a deep voice: "Now all the people in the entire Manchuria are combined, even the savage Jurchens of the primitive tribes will not exceed one and a half million, and there are many Han and Mongols among them, Manchuria has a vast territory, fertile soil, and some are fertile land, we only need to migrate the population from Guannai to Manchuria, no more, even if it is only two or three million people, then those Manchurians will not be assimilated by the advanced civilization of the Ming Dynasty in a few decades, and when the time comes, they will rebel. They don't have the ambition or guts anymore. ”

"Haha!"

Sun Chuanting laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the future is terrifying, Yifan is now not only a martial artist, but also an expert in politics, and the people are definitely the best way to surrender without a fight, and now there are displaced people in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan, as long as we give these people enough favorable conditions, these people will rush to the head and run over, after arriving in Manchuria, reclaim the fertile land, and in less than ten years, the Manchurians can be educated, and even the food and salary of the Manchurian troops can be solved on the spot. It solves a big problem for the imperial court! ”

Zhu Jie laughed and said: "This, I have never doubted, you must know that his mentor is Lord Lu Xiangsheng, that is definitely the best Confucian handsome since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Bai Gu, you can draw up a decree, recruit displaced people from the three provinces of Gyeonggi and Shaanxi Province to go to Manchuria, as long as you agree to go to Manchuria, all the land they reclaim is owned by individuals, and within ten years, they are exempt from any taxes, and at the same time, for five consecutive years, each person will be given fifty catties of grain every year, once settled, the imperial court will give one or two taels of silver to settle down, and the specific placement, With Li Dingguo and Duan Xuan disposing of it on their own, in May, the fourth town of the Liutianwei Army continued to sit in Shengjing, and the rest of the towns were all transferred back to Guannei and resettled! ”

is worthy of being the emperor, as soon as he makes a move, he is a big deal, whether it is Xu Yifan or Sun Chuanting, where do you dare to have such an idea? Exempt from taxes for ten years, that is to say, within ten years, all the gains of the displaced people outside the customs are their own, whether you earn ten taels of silver, or one hundred taels of silver, they are all your own, not only so, but the imperial court will also give settlement silver, but also give grain for five consecutive years, where to find such a good thing? Even if it's a soldier of the Tianwei Army who has always been well paid, it's nothing more than that, right? It is conceivable that once the decree is issued, it will not be difficult for the imperial court to recruit two or three million displaced people, and it is absolutely expected that Manchuria will add two million Han people in three years at most.

In addition, the Han people who live in Liaodong and the Mongols who have been assimilated by the Han people have a population of nearly three million, and the population of Manchuria will not exceed one million.

"In addition to the governor and governor, Manchuria now lacks a long-sleeved and good dancing envoy......"

Sun Chuanting laughed in a low voice.

"Well, Shiratani, what kind of person do you have?"

"If you let Xia Yunyi go on a journey, you threw someone's son to Monan, you have to compensate for it, right?"

Sun Chuanting said with a smile.
