Nine hundred and fortieth chapters fertile soil
When the generals under the Liaodong Dushi reported their duties, Zhu Gaoxu also asked about the situation of the three guards of Urianha one after another. These generals had to take into account the safety of their territory, and most of them were aware of the situation of the Urianha tribe not far away.
Then Zhu Gaoxu summoned Guo Ang, who lives in Peiping. Guo Ang was an official in Peiping from the Northern Department of the Guardian of the King of Zhao. The previous meeting between the Chief of the King of Zhao and the Mongolian messenger Huapeng was Guo Ang who reported to Beijing.
It is difficult to get too much information about the Asut tribe of the distant Arutai headquarters and even the Tatar Korchin tribe. However, Guo Ang should be able to find out a lot of things about the Urianha tribe, not far from the Liaodong Dushi.
After many investigations, Zhu Gaoxu finally recognized the remarks of General Jier of the Urianha people. This is the fact that there were too many contacts between the Urianha people and the Korqin tribe.
Zhu Gaoxu judged that the Korqin tribe had fully joined the Doyan Guard and Taining Guard. The Korqin leader Adei not only married the Uriankan people, but also recruited many Uriankan people from these two guards, but also sent many people to garrison on the territory between the two guards. (The area of the three guards of Uriankan at this time was mainly between Heilongjiang and Jilin, as well as the eastern foot of the Daxinganling Mountains.)
The tribe that once helped Emperor Taizong fight in the "Jingnan Campaign" is now breaking away from the Ming Dynasty and is separated from the court.
Zhu Gaoxu felt very difficult about this and could not think of a way to restore the Urianha tribe.
Guo Ang had already answered Zhu Gaoxu's inquiry in detail. He was standing in front of him. Because Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, Guo Ang didn't dare to speak lightly in front of the imperial court, and stood there silently. The main room became very quiet, and Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted at this time.
The quiet environment makes people think too much, and Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused about it. The mentality of the leaders of Urianha was so slightly associated with it.
I don’t know if Emperor Taizong promised the Daning area at the beginning, but at most he gave the Urianha people a little land. Zhu Gaoxu believed that his father would not be stingy. Logically, the leaders would not want to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty because of one thing.
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had a whim and thought: Perhaps whether it is the Urianha people or any other tribe, it is almost an instinct to subconsciously plunder the Han people of the Ming Dynasty with the Tatars. After all, the Ming Dynasty has the largest population and a very rich output. As long as these tribes can suppress the Ming people in the south, the huge benefits will be enough for their little people to resolve the conflicts between each other. Of course, whether it can be done or not depends on the state of the Central Plains dynasty.
This is just his own thoughts, and no one knows what the reason is. But there must be a reason.
Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and saw Guo Ang standing beside him, and said, "Commander Guo is doing his best, you are doing a good job."
Guo Ang looked flattered and quickly bowed respectfully: "It is my duty to be loyal to the emperor."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
Guo Ang said, "If the emperor has no questions, please give up."
Zhu Gaoxu said, "You go back first and report to Hou Zuo Envoy's official business."
Guo Ang kowtowed and thanked him and left the main hall.
The person Zhu Gaoxu was going to meet was General Jier, a native of Wurianha. Jier and the generals of the Ming army from the border came to Peking to report their duties and would not stay here for too long. Zhu Gaoxu had promised to find a solution to the situation of Fuyuwei. It is time to come up with an explanation now and we can't continue to delay.
However, before asking someone to summon Jier, Zhu Gaoxu examined his thoughts again.
These days, Zhu Gaoxu came up with two options for Fu Yu Wei's strategy.
One of them was to maintain the position of Fuyu Guards and use them as wedges between the Urianha tribe and the Korqin tribe. The Ming Dynasty responded to the south and attacked Taining Guards and Duoyan Guards from north to south.
Zhu Gaoxu had such a tough strategy because he felt that Alutai and Adei of the Korchin tribe had been too entangled with the Urianha people. Since he could no longer make peace, it would be better to take the initiative to attack.
But this has some side effects. First of all, the strength of the Doyanwei and Tainingwei is not weak, and there are also many cavalrymen that can be mobilized. In addition, there are increasingly large reinforcements from the Korqin tribe. The Ming Dynasty launched this war, the scale will not be too small, regardless of the outcome, the cost will be very large. This battle is not very necessary. It will not only further increase military spending, but also increase the expenses recently, but it will be opposed by the ministers.
The most important thing is that even if the Ming Dynasty conquered these places, it would not be easy to gain a foothold for a while, because the local Han people were too small. For such a decision, of course, you have to think about what to do in the future. From the beginning, you have to think about the future to avoid being in a temporary dilemma.
In most areas of Liaodong, the Central Plains dynasty had not been directly controlled for many years. For hundreds of years, the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongolia occupied this land one after another, and there was basically no Han people. There was no need to think that the north was full of Mongol forces.
The Ming forces entered Liaodong, which happened after the Hongwu year. The Ming army attacked the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong, attacked several times, and then forced the military households to migrate farms, so that the current Liaodong Dusi, Nuergandu, and Daning Dusi (Daning Dusi has been in name only). Among them, the largest population of Han people is the Liaodong Dusi, but the places where the Ming army directly stationed has just arrived in the Zhongwei, Tieling, Shenyang, around 30,000 in the Liaodong area; the population is also mostly military households and exiled prisoners.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu had to face the reality. In the short term, if he wanted to truly occupy Jilin and Heilongjiang, Liaodong might not have enough population. The safest thing is to gradually develop the population and gradually digest it.
Zhu Gaoxu thought carefully again and finally decided to adopt the second strategy.
After sending eunuchs to summon General Jier, Jier came to meet him shortly after waiting. The old courtyard was the Gaoyang County Prince's Mansion. The size of the County Prince's Mansion was of course far from the Imperial Palace of the Capital. People came in to meet the saints, so they would not have to walk for a long time.
The chicken was very respectful in holding the ceremony. He first knocked outside the door, and then came in and gave a big gift. Because the weather was getting colder, a curtain was hung at the door, and there was dark red charcoal in the brazier in the room, which made the air in the room very warm. In the relatively closed and hot air, the strong smell of General Chicken suddenly came to his face. However, Zhu Gaoxu knew that their living habits were like that, and he had no intention of disdain.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "General Ji'er is exempted from gifts."
He then said directly, "I have made arrangements for Fuyu Guards. When you return to your garrison, take the imperial edict back. Move Fuyu Guards south to the land south of Taining Guards to station on the pastoral land. The three guards have changed their places. After you go to the south, the Taining Guards' pasture belongs to you; Taining Guards move northward in turn to the place of Duoyan Guards; Duoyan Guards take over your pasture."
After hearing this, Jier said without thinking: "Master, Duoyanwei and Tainingwei may not be willing to move to the place."
"It doesn't matter, at least that's the case first. If they don't let you, you have a good place to stay in the herd." Zhu Gaoxu stroked the map in front of him with his hands, raised his pen, and looked up and said, "General is coming."
"Yes." The chicken walked to the table.
This is a very simple hand-drawn map, with almost nothing except some big place names and rivers. Zhu Gaoxu picked up his pen and placed it at the intersection of the East and West Liao Rivers (southwest of Changchun), and then drew the Zhu line along the river to the left and right. The East Liao River and the West Liao River converged here roughly from the east and west directions, and then flowed southward to the sea.
After drawing, he looked up at General Jier and said, "The place north of the two rivers of the East Liao River and the West Liao River is the area where you lend it to you to garrison. This land is not smaller than your original pasture, it should be enough. Tainingwei will not allow the place for a while, so you will garrison near the Liao River. However, the land of Tainingwei has always belonged to you in terms of status."
Although Zhu Gaoxu had not visited Liaodong much, Wude had only passed by a corner when he returned home. However, he still had common sense that the fertility of the black soil in the Northeast was not a fame. Compared with grazing, the output of farming was obviously greater; however, it has not been developed yet, and it is obviously rich in aquatic plants for animal husbandry, and there are also fishing and hunting resources to supplement.
General Jier looked at it for a while, and indeed his expression looked quite satisfied, and he spoke, "I would like to thank the emperor for his grace for the sake of the Haisha Man."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "If Taining and Duoyan colluded with the Korqin people, it would pose a threat to you. The Ming Dynasty's official army can provide reinforcements nearby, so you have no worries."
He paused for a moment and said, "The court will reset the rules of mutual markets from now on. The mutual market locations in Liaodong will probably be on the territory where you stationed in the pastor. Taining Guards will get a certain number of cavalry and military ranks. These people gather in the camp to protect the security around the city of mutual markets and to garrison with the government forces, they will receive military pay and rewards, just like soldiers of the government."
Jier suddenly became even happier, unable to hide her joyful expression and said, "The Lord has not forgotten us, you are too generous and generous."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "I will certainly not treat the tribes loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The Urianha people from Tainingwei and Duoyanwei colluded with the Korqin tribe without authorization. They will definitely be far inferior to you when they receive the favors of the Ming Dynasty."
After he said that, he picked up a seal, put it on the map, and handed it to General Jier: "Take the map back. After that, Hou Zuo Envoy will write an imperial edict and hand it to General Jier, and you go and find him to take it."
The chicken took the map with both hands and bowed with her hands pressed her chest.
Zhu Gaoxu said meaningfully: "I have high hopes for General Jier, and I will come to Peiping in the future. Next time you bring your son's family to accompany you, our friendship with you should continue to fight side by side."
General Jier nodded and agreed, thanked him again, and left the main hall with great satisfaction.
