The war in Yanbei was over, but the post-war cleanup work had just begun.●⌒, in the battle of Yanbei, the Han army had only suffered more than 3,000 casualties, but the Qing army died more than 30,000, including the troops of Haoge and Wu Zu. In the end, the surrendered army and prisoners exceeded 100,000.

There are basically no fish that misses the net.

There were also many seized, and the biggest seized was war horses. Whether it was the Qing army or the Liao army, they all had a large number of war horses, slow horses, followed by various swords, guns and arrows. Compared with the attention of war horses, these weapons and armor were not very important. Liu Jun planned to transport them back and equip them to the rural army in various places, which was considered militia equipment.

"The total value of gold and silver seized is nearly one million silver dollars, a small amount of food and grass, more than 100,000 horses and mules such as war horses and slow horses are more than 100,000."

"There are so much gold and silver?" Liu Jun was a little surprised when he listened to the report.

Fu Shan said on the side, "After all, there are more than 100,000 people, and each person has a small amount of people. Especially those Liao troops, when they sent troops before, they brought most of their wealth."

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these surrendered soldiers, generals and prisoners?"

A million silver dollars are really nothing for Liu Jun today. In order to fight this Yanbei battle, the imperial court mobilized no less than fifty divisions, and finally dispatched thirty divisions, and ten divisions directly participated in the battle. No less than three thousand people died in the battle. The mobilization of these troops and horses was a huge amount of money and food consumption.

Not to mention the pensions and rewards after the war.

War is about making money, especially at this level.

However, these horses are a good harvest. The Han army is now good at naval and artillery, and the army is mainly infantry, and the cavalry is only an auxiliary army. The main reason for this situation is that the Chu army lacks horses. Now it is not the past, with 20,000 or 30,000 people, even if it is built a cavalry unit of five or six thousand people, it is enough to have ten thousand horses.

After Liu Jun became emperor, he was preparing to expand the country to about 36 towns. Even if some of the towns were short-lived towns and scattered towns, the number of horses needed was still a big number. There were many war horses, and there were also many slow horses.

Even if local production is resumed, horses are extremely valuable resources, whether for transportation or farming. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty would not be the Song Dynasty, and there would be no lack of horse sources.

Liu Jun pondered.

"I have a good word and keep my word. I pardon Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and others surrendered to the Liao army. All of them will not be blamed. According to the promises previously, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou and other generals have all left their troops and returned home. As for the Liao army soldiers, there are still 60,000 people. Well, they are all moved to Taiwan, Hainan and our concessions in North Korea and Japan. Their land and houses in western Liaoning were all in the past were all in the officials, and the property deposits in the pass were retained. After they were placed in Taiwan and other places, these soldiers and their families were 50 acres of wasteland per adult man. The adult women were 30 acres of land, and their children over twelve to adults gave them ten acres of wasteland each for reclaiming. The newly reclaimed wasteland will not be subject to land tax for three years."

Zhang Guowei said in surprise. "All the Liao army surrendered troops moved overseas? Wouldn't that be a consecrated army?"

"Of course it is not a military force. If you are in charge of military force, you have to be in charge of the military and have no freedom, you are prisoners. And they are just immigrants and will not be discriminated against when they go to a new place. However, when we resettle and move, we must pay attention to breaking them up as much as possible. The fellow villagers in the past cannot be separated together."

Liu Jun explained.

Zhang Guowei suggested that why not just place it in western Liaoning, or even in northern Yan or southern Yan. This will make it more convenient and save a lot of manpower and material resources. After all, although the three provinces in northern Yan, southern Sansha and western Liaoning are newly established or recovered, they are mostly remote places now. The population is very small, and most of them are Hu people outside the Frontier.

To establish rule, the Han people must be in charge of the main position.

But Fu Shan supported Liu Jun's immigration plan.

"Don't forget that many of these Liao soldiers have lived in western Liaoning for generations, and they have long formed warlords of Liaoxi generals and those Liao generals. If they were allowed to stay in western Liaoning or move nearby to the south of the northern desert of Yan, then these people will soon be united through complex relationships. It seems that it is much more convenient now, but in the long run, this is a deep hidden danger. Moving them overseas is a little troublesome now, but it is a once-for-all solution."

Zhili Governor Liu Yunsheng also made a suggestion at this time.

"We can't make it easier for those surrendered soldiers and generals. In addition to confiscating the fields and real estate of these people outside the pass, they can retain their property in the pass, but there is a prerequisite that they must first pay all the accumulated owes within five years before the first year of Longhan. No matter how much they accumulate, how much they owed, how much they owed within five years, they have to pay as much as they owed."

"Only after paying off all the owed money, the property within the customs can be retained, otherwise the property within the customs will be deducted from their property."

Liu Yunsheng then expressed his policies to the surrendered generals in western Liaoning, and he could not make them feel relaxed like this.

"All officers not only need to pay off the family's arrears in the past five years, but also have to complete all accounts during their five-year term. If there is any deficit, they must be compensated."

This is very strict, which means that if Wu Sangui and others have to spit out money from empty wages or deduct military wages, and borrow weapons and equipment.

Liu Jun thought about it and now all the yamen in the country are clearing the shortcomings, so there is no need to show off Wu Sangui and others.

"Yes, if you make up for all public and private debts, you can let them be free."

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Zhang Guowei did not say anything even though he still had some opinions. He turned to ask about the Qing army surrendered and the prisoners.

"I really want Haoge to reorganize a town of troops?"

"Oh, the Jianzhou Town of Haoge is organized into the B-type Army of the two divisions and four associations, with 20,000 troops. Haoge and Sony each have the commanders of the division. They will be a cavalry unit."

"Your Majesty, I object. Wouldn't this let the tiger go back to the mountain? The Qing people are capricious and should not be trusted easily." Zhang Guowei objected loudly.

Liu Jun smiled, "Don't worry, I will use Haoge, but I will not be careless. I will select 20,000 troops from the tens of thousands of Qing army surrendered soldiers and prisoners to form Jianzhou Army Town. But I will not let this group of troops go back to Liaodong, nor will I even place them on the western Liaoning and the frontier."

Zhang Guowei was stunned for a moment.

"Where will His Majesty transfer them?"

Liu Jun walked to the sand table and pointed outside the Great Wall north of Zhangjiakou and Datong.

"here."

The place where Liu Jun fingered was a special place.

"Chahar." Zhang Guowei and others couldn't help but say.

Chahar is an ancient Turkic word. It means the guards of the Khan palace and among the Mongolian tribes. Chahar is a very special part. His democratic body was the Qiexue Army founded by Genghis Khan, and it was a permanent guard. After Lin Danhan failed to fight against the Jin Dynasty, part of it declined.

In the era of Genghis Khan, the Qiexue army was the essence of the Mongols. The Khan guards were selected from the heads of thousands of households, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and the sons of free people.

During the Ming Dynasty, when Dayan Khan reunified the Mongolian tribes, he enfeoffed the sons to rule the six ten thousand households on the left and right wings. Dayan Khan was stationed in Chahar. He was the leader of the 30,000 households on the left wing and commanded the entire Mongolian. The Khan directly commanded the Chahar Wanhu.

Chahar is the sect leader who is in an orthodox position and is the center of the Mongolian tribes. His khan is the co-minister of the Mongolian tribes. The lord Chahar inherited the throne of the Mongolian Khan. After Dayan Khan, he experienced the six great khans.

During the Ming Dynasty, Chahar was composed of eight Etok, that is, tribes, collectively known as the Eight Tribes of Chahar. The left wing of the Eight Tribes was also called Shanyang Chahaner. It consisted of four Etoks of Alakjot, Aohan, Naiman and Ulu. The right wing was also called Shanyin Chahaner, which consisted of four Etoks of Haozit, Wuzhumuqin, Sunit and Keshdan.

Later, after the Mongolian right wing developed westward with the Altan River, the left wing Chaharwanhu and Khalkhawanhu were led by the Khan Dalaison Kudeng, they moved to the east to the three guards of the Urianha to the pastoral area.

By this time, only the tribe names passed down were Haozit, Sunit, Uzhumuqin, Aohan, Naiman, and Keshdan tribes, while other tribe names had disappeared.

By the late Ming Dynasty, Chahar Khan was Lin Dankhan, who stationed in Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou areas and made an appointment with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

Later, Lin Dankhan failed in the annexation war with the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert, and was forced to move westward to the area northwest outside the Great Wall of Xuanhua Prefecture. He also controlled the tribes such as Tumot and Ordos.

However, later Huang Taiji personally fought for Chahar and Tumot, defeating Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan died of illness after losing to Qinghai, and Lin Danhan's son was captured and surrendered to Jin. Even Lin Danhan's great concubine was captured by Huang Taiji and became one of the five concubines.

Huang Taiji incorporated Chaha into the Eight Banners. Before the Qing army's attack, Dorgon also issued a special order to move the Chahar part outside the Xuanhua and Datong Great Wall, and divide it into two wings and four banners. At the same time, it stipulated that the Eight Banners were not hereditary and did not propriety in the 49 banners of the Mongolian Six Alliance set up by the Qing Dynasty, and were not hereditary and were not self-disciplined. They were areas that the Qing people focused on controlling.

"Xuanfu, outside the Great Wall in the north of Datong, is the special zone of Chahar. From north to south, there are the Chahar Zhenghuang Banner, the Chahar Zhenghong Banner, the Chahar Zhenghong Banner, and the Chahar Fanglan Banner two-wing four-flag.

Although this place doesn't look big, its location is very important.

Because it is located in the Yinshan Mountains in northwestern Shanxi, the Yanshan Mountains in northheight of Hebei, and the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei, and the gathering place of the three major mountain ranges.

This is a natural passageway or a fork. Since ancient times, it has been an important passageway connecting Shanxi and Hebei and the grasslands. The Qing people moved the Chahar tribe back here, and made an exception and did not incorporate these two wings into the 49th Banners of the Sixth League of Mongolia. Instead, they directly controlled the government, which was equivalent to a resignation, not a local official.

What is the purpose? This place directly threatens the capital of the Central Plains.

By breaking through the line of Zhangjiakou Great Wall in Xuanhua, you can go directly to Juyong Pass along the Sanggan River Valley to the northwest gate of Beijing. Or enter the Pass from Datong Break, then walk on Feihu Road, head straight to Zijing Pass, attack Yizhou, and fight to the south of Beijing.

Since ancient times, this place has been a place where military strategists must fight for. The Qing army directly controlled this place, which was a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Jun has now severely damaged the Qing army through the Battle of Yanbei, recaptured western Liaoning, and incorporated large areas of Yanbei into the border, and established two new provinces, Yanbei and Desert South.

But there is still a strong threat in the west. Especially now, many Mongolian tribes in the south of the Moon still have ambiguous attitudes. At this time, Liu Jun planned to take the initiative to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, so that the Mongolian tribes in the south of the Moon could understand the strength of the Han Dynasty and let them join us as soon as possible.

However, there are many ways to fight the battle, and Liu Jun is ready to use the newly acquired Haoge to fight this front.

Use Jurchen cavalry to deal with the Mongols.

To drive a tiger and swallow a wolf, no matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to Liu Jun.

Once Chahar is controlled, the security and defense situation in the capital will be great. At the same time, the Han Dynasty can also move to the left and right through Chahar at any time. Chahar's Ikh Zhao League is under the jurisdiction of the Hetao area occupied by the Ordos banners. The Ulanqab League is under the jurisdiction of the Khalkha and the Four Princes. The Xilingol League is under the jurisdiction of the northeast, the Sunit banners are under the jurisdiction of the Zhaowuda League, under the jurisdiction of the Wengniute banners.

It can be said that the Chahar area is of great importance.

"Let Haoge's 20,000 cavalry fight first. Whoever dares to disobey the Mongolian troops will fight."

Hearing the emperor's plan, Zhang Guowei and others couldn't help but admire him. The emperor was indeed amazing. This was a good plan, but did Haoge and others let it go?

"There is nothing to believe or not, the general trend is the same as when I believed that Hauge was truly surrendered and believed that he would lead the camps of Dodo and Azig for us. Didn't he do it in the end?"

"What about the remaining Qing army prisoners?"

"Everyone is needed to build roads, mines, and embankments. These Jurchens are all young and strong, but have excellent labor. Tell these prisoners that as long as they have been in the Hanfu for ten years, they will be the people of the Han Dynasty. They can settle in the Han Dynasty, obtain the Han Dynasty's household registration status, and perform well. They will even arrange work for them and even allocate them to the fields."

Whether a big cake that has lasted for ten years depends on whether they can complete the ten years of labor.

Liu Jun doesn't like killing people. He believes that the empire is in ruins and what he lacks the most is manpower. Although according to a preliminary census, the total population of China may exceed 200 million. However, among the 200 million people, the elderly, children, women, as well as many scholars, businessmen, etc., are not really young and strong laborers.

What's more, this is still an agricultural era, and most of the young and strong laborers are actually bound to the land.

Liu Jun's Han Empire required a lot of manpower, and Liu Jun had many places that required a lot of labor. Liu Jun was willing to pay these workers and did not intend to force the people to serve labor. However, the flow of labor in this era was still too slow.

Liu Jun likes workers like Qing army prisoners of war the most. They are not restrained and have to go home to farm and harvest after a month. Such workers, let alone tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands more, Liu Jun is extremely welcome.
