"We will firmly and unconditionally obey all the arrangements of our father-in-law to our department. We believe that under the leadership of our father-in-law, our Jianzhou officers and soldiers will definitely play a greater role in other fronts of the motherland." Abatai took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"In the past, we were guilty, but my father-in-law gave us another chance to serve the country. If we cannot firmly grasp this opportunity, then we will be inferior to pigs and dogs!" Degele was heartbroken by the past.

The two princes must not refuse to make such a statement, because if they do not make such a statement, they will not follow Eunuch Wei, but will follow their Ama, the second and fifth brothers.

That kind of atonement is not what the brothers want.

"That's right,"

Eunuch Wei picked up the big pipe he specially asked to make during the Japanese campaign, spit out a few long smoke rings, and said earnestly. The two princes De said, "You must do your best and don't let our family down."

Similarly, the father-in-law also made such a statement about the representatives of Gong Zhengliu and others who left the city.

The father-in-law later ratified the terms formulated by Zhou Tiexin and Ju Ying, but in some details, my father-in-law believed that it was up to be discussed.

As for these details, Gong Zhengliu also expressed strong opposition.

First, at the Sanhe Conference, my father-in-law clearly proposed to "change land and return to the current" in Jianzhou area. According to this guideline, the Imperial Army Base Camp proposed a plan, intending to set the former Jianzhou left the left and right guards (formerly the Jurchen area of ​​Haixi) together with Ye He's troops, the former Ming army's Fushun East Out of the Forts, Kuandian area, etc. into two prefectures, one is the Zhongyong Prefecture and the other is the Dingliao Prefecture.

Zhongyong Prefecture leads two counties, one is Jianzhou County and the other is Zhongwu County.

Dingliao Prefecture led three counties, one was Yehe County, one was Kuandian County, and the other was Heping County.

Since there are two prefectures and five counties, there must be a population of these five counties. Otherwise, there is only an administrative division concept but no specific governance, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to take off your pants and fart?

According to the yellow list of pseudo-gold populations presented by Ju Ying, the original Eight Banners, together with the dependent ethnic groups, plundered more than 340,000 Han people, including more than 70,000 armored people. This is also the confidence that Nurhaci dared to launch a rebellion.

Now the Eight Banners have been destroyed in name only, and Abatai's troops have been reorganized and joined the emperor's personal army, so the population statistics of both sides are mainly Hetuala and the surrounding areas.

Eunuch Wei instructed that in order to enrich the two prefectures and five counties, in addition to writing a letter to the imperial court to migrate the population from Shenyang, Liaoyang and southern Liaoning to Jianzhou, he would also organize immigration from the inner areas to enrich Jianzhou.

It is planned to immigrate 100,000 to 150,000, because it involves the long-term stability of the Jianzhou area and involves many places. Therefore, Eunuch Wei, who is immigranting in this area, plans to be responsible for the court.

The planned time is 10 years, so that only more than 10,000 people can be relocated every year, and the cost is relatively small, which is acceptable to the court. When the production and living order of the two prefectures and five counties of Jianzhou is on track, a larger-scale immigration will be carried out.

The main goal of this immigration is the northwest refugee whom my father-in-law has been obsessed with.

The solution to the Liaodong issue does not mean that the problem of refugees in the northwest can be solved. His father-in-law is a human being, not a god. He cannot make God show mercy and wave the increasingly harsh weather in the northwest region to make it better.

However, the solution to the Liaodong issue can allow my father-in-law to start changing the issue of refugees in the northwest region. The fundamental reason for solving the issue of refugees is actually a problem of filling the stomach.

My father-in-law had already purchased grain from Annan and other places on a large scale, but compared with the huge number of refugees, the grain purchased was also a drop in the bucket, and due to transportation issues, it could not last long.

A simple truth is that Annan’s grain can be transported to Jiangnan by sea, but how to transport it to the northwest?

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to solve this problem, the court adopted the "Kaizhongfa", which was to encourage merchants to transport grain and give them the right to buy and sell salt, tea, etc. When the Nine Bianguards were basically self-sufficient, the "Kaizhongfa" would naturally be eliminated.

However, the target of "Kaizhong and France" is only the border troops with severe food shortages, rather than the vast majority of people in the northwest region.

No matter which dynasty or era, you should never expect merchants to solve the food shortage in one province, or even two provinces, or even multiple provinces.

Perhaps profit-seeking merchants can transport food, but the high price of food is not something ordinary people can afford.

Only the organizational form of the central government can carry out large-scale disaster relief with the whole country's strength.

The father-in-law will implement some measures similar to "opening China and France", and he intends to set up large granaries similar to national grain depots in important towns in northwest, but this is only a delay, not a radical cure.

If you want to completely solve the problem of refugees in the northwest, the best way is to move out. In this way, whether it is the court or the father-in-law, as long as you provide immigrants with food during the migration and simple living facilities after arriving in the local area, you can solve the problem of filling your stomach.

For example, if a large tank is full of water, you can use a pipe to connect it to another empty tank to divert the flow.

The northwest is the tank full of water;

Liaodong is the empty jar.

In fact, in addition to the solution of diversion immigration, there is another way to solve the problem.

It is to rebel and reshuffle.

In addition to the deepening natural disasters, the root cause of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty was that the population of 300 million had serious land annexation problems.

Gentlemen have land, but people have no land.

Kill the gentry and beat the local tyrants to divide the land, the problem can be solved.

But that means a large loss of population and a huge destruction of the country's vitality. Any large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history comes at the cost of the loss of tens of millions of people.

To a certain extent, his father-in-law also belonged to the gentry class, and even he was a local tyrant.

Therefore, it is impossible for my father-in-law to carry out a revolution and to revolutionize his life.

Then, large-scale real-border immigration is the only choice for my father-in-law.

Chinese people have a strange characteristic: as long as there is no war, even if they are on the line of food and clothing, even if they have to have a meal after eating the next meal, they will not run out as long as they cannot starve to death.

They would rather hold their wives and children in a hungry stomach than go to strange places they are unfamiliar with to find out if there is a better way to go.

But once they are hungry and are on the verge of death, the characteristics of the Chinese will change immediately. They will run desperately to the surrounding area. No matter how far they are, they will be willing to go as long as they have food to eat.

In the face of hunger, everything is fake. As long as you can have food and land of your own, Chinese people can leave their hometowns.

Therefore, my father-in-law is not worried that his immigration policy will be boycotted by the people of the Northwest. As long as he can provide the simplest guarantee, it is expected that at least one million northwest populations will continue to migrate to Liaodong in the future.

The Northeast is not the bitter and cold place mentioned by the Jurchens, nor is it a barren land, but a treasure land.

The reactionary group led by Nurhaci has never taken the land under their feet seriously, and they have not even organized the land reclamation seriously.

This stems from their national characteristics, from their desire for leisure and work, from gaining without work, and from robbery and saving more effort.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that the Jurchen population is too small and the lack of tools to reclaim land.

What Eunuch Wei had to do was to increase the population of the Northeast and provide food and residential facilities. After one or two generations, the population of the Northeast would explode. At that time, the Northeast was truly the Northeast of the Ming Empire.

Only when there are people can you have territory.

If there are people, there will be no Tartars.

In recent stages, my father-in-law mainly considers moving the Kuandian people who had originally moved to Pi Island back to Kuandian area. This group of people are Kuandian residents, so they can move from Pi Island back to their hometown. There will be no major problems in life or feelings.

In addition, nearly 8,000 Korean soldiers were tied together with Japanese husbands with similar numbers, as well as tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers who surrendered to the Imperial Army, forming a large army specifically for farming.

As long as these people can reclaim wasteland for three to five years in Jianzhou area, they can return to China (released). If they are unwilling to return, they will be given at least 30 acres of land each, and allowed to marry local women, and from then on, they will take root on the land in the northeast of the empire and become citizens of the empire.

My father-in-law believed that as long as we could not discriminate against these agricultural soldiers and take active and effective guidance measures, this large army would definitely produce white food for the empire through their hands.

In this way, due to the reform of land and the implementation of the policy of military farming, the "privileges" that Zhu Ying had originally expected naturally no longer existed.
