The "Huanglong Mansion (now in the county town of Nong'an County, Gaoguanchun City, Jilin)" that Grandpa Yue wanted to attack directly has been occupied by the joint cavalry troops in Guangning. The broken city with a circumference of 3.5 kilometers has been repaired, and the old name Long'an was repeated, and the government was established.

The Ming army stationed 3,000 troops in Long'an as the backing of the Korqin tribe to ensure that the Korqin Grassland became avant-garde, or buffer, to prevent the Chahar tribe.

When occupying Long'an, the emperor was really happy and commented in the newspaper, mentioning Grandpa Yue, and preparing to designate Grandpa Yue as the Martial Saint and establish a temple to worship him.

You should know that the Jin Dynasty was also built by the Jurchens, and the Jiannu was also called the Later Jin Dynasty. Referring to Grandpa Yue, Huanglong Mansion and Shangjing, it also has symbolic significance for the extermination of the remnants of Jiannu.

As soon as the low discussion began, Mao Wenlong glanced at him, and the generals hurriedly sat upright, with a solemn look on his face.

"It is normal for the imperial court to have Jilin Prefecture, which is a hundred miles in a radius, or at least fifty or sixty miles, belonging to Jilin Prefecture."

Mao Wenlong said slowly: "Long live means to expand horizontally to the east and west. If you reach the seaside to build a port and a city, the navy will be able to sail and transport. You can look at the map. If a navy carries troops and food to wipe out the remnants of Jiannu, it will be twice the result with half the effort."

The Haixi Jurchens may refer to the Jurchen tribe on the land on the west side of the sea. Jiannu fled here, and is still facing the pressure of the Ming army advancing from south to north.

But if the sea and land connections are opened and the navy has a stable base and port, the remnants of Jiannu will have to face the Ming army attacking from the sea, and the time for destruction will be greatly advanced.

Mao Wenlong and the generals thought so, but the emperor no longer took the remnants of Jiannu. What he wanted was to expand territory, the navy that crossed the ocean, and the ports where the navy stopped.

The significance and role of the expansion to the Far East from Jilin Prefecture to the sea, the army and the navy are not something that ordinary people can imagine.

In the Far East, people did not have this geographical concept at that time, and they did not know what the resources under this frozen soil meant for the Ming Empire hundreds of years later.

Regardless of whether the descendants are promising or not, the emperor's purpose and principle are to take advantage of the strength of the army and grab more.

What's more, the introduction and promotion of high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes will basically not have a significant population decline caused by wars in history.

The emperor was preparing to gradually abolish the cap tax, and the people would not increase their taxes significantly due to childbirth. It was inevitable that the population of Ming Dynasty would explode.

The contradiction between people and small land will be sharper than in history. What is going to the west, going to the Guandong or surviving spontaneously. If the government guides and provides help, the entire Great Northern Wilderness will not be enough.

By then, the Far East will be bitter and cold, and people will also survive, and there will be people who will live and live.

"If I just wait for immigration and reclaiming, I think three years may not be enough." Mao Wenlong glanced at the generals again and said in a deep voice: "So, I am determined to submit a memorial to the court that our Dongjiang Town should be the pioneer in the construction of Jilin Prefecture."

Zhang Pan nodded slightly, agreed with Mao Shuai's decision, and understood what Mao Shuai said.

The plan to advance north slowed down, and the emperor believed that the goal had been achieved. But Mao Wenlong said that it was a hundred miles in a radius, at least fifty or sixty miles, that is, it was necessary to use Jilin as the base and then advance 180 miles northward.

In this way, the area is too wide. Just his mixed association and the naturalized Jurchen troops are far from enough manpower.

Mao Wenlong wanted to pull the army up a little more, at least one of the nearly 10,000 people in the mixed association. He may conquer thousands of Jurchens to the purpose of dispersing their tribes.

Even so, Zhang Pan still felt that it was not enough, but he would not recommend that he continue to increase.

Although the reconstruction of Liaodong has improved quite well, the surrendered Jurchens did not have the capital or reason to cause trouble, Liaodong cannot be too empty.

But Zhang Pan didn't know that what Mao Wenlong wanted to report to the court was not only to increase troops to the north, but also to take the lead in implementing the conscript system in Liaodong.

The emperor had this idea, but did not implement it rashly. It was also a matter of course to ask his ministers for advice.

Xiong Tingbi, Minister of War, believes that this system is good, but it is very difficult to implement it nationwide. Especially in the south, the atmosphere of emphasizing culture and over military affairs is stronger, and the lives of ordinary people are not bad, and being a soldier is not popular.

Relatively speaking, it should be easier in the north. However, it is necessary to implement it on a large scale. The number of soldiers recruited is not during the war period, and the court's financial pressure is very high.

Finally, Xiong Tingbi suggested that he be piloted in Liaodong first. Shortly after the liberation of Liaodong, the war was traumatized, but it was basically a piece of white paper that could be re-planned.

After so many years of war, the aristocratic families and powerful families in Liaodong have been basically destroyed. It is precisely this class that should have opposed the soldiers in the family.

Xiong Tingbi made a suggestion, and the emperor agreed deeply, so he also sought opinions from Liaodong Governor Wu Yongxian and Dongjiang Town Commander Mao Wenlong through secret memorials.

Because of this, Mao Wenlong knew a lot and decided to support the Long Live plan and take the lead in trialing the conscript system in Liaodong.

If the emperor agrees, tens of thousands of soldiers will be added in Liaodong, and the manpower problem of reclamation and construction will be solved.

There is no way. There is still a lot of free land in Liaodong now, and the first choice for immigrants is not a deserted and cold place like Jilin Prefecture. To build and develop, the army can only act as the main force.

"Master General." Yang Guozhu bowed: "Our troops are willing to go to Jilin Prefecture to accelerate the construction and development of the prefecture."

Nara Zhongming also hurriedly volunteered, "Master, our troops can recruit thousands more, or move thousands of people to Jilin Prefecture to settle down."

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "The two generals don't have to worry. It's not too late to act after the court has approved it. Now, I'm just asking you to prepare in advance."

After pausing, he continued: "In addition to the necessary training, each unit should also contribute more to the reconstruction of Liaodong. Tell your officers and soldiers that Liaodong will be their home in the future. Doing more will be related to the treatment after retirement. If you are lazy and sloppy, you will lose in the end."

"What the Grand Marshal said is very true."

"The officers and soldiers of our troops have exceeded the task, so the commander can rest assured."

"After working like this for another year, some officers and soldiers can become small landlords after retirement, and they are very motivated."

All the generals expressed their opinions, and Mao Wenlong also smiled, nodded frequently, and was also stingy with words of praise and encouragement.

According to the roads and transportation at that time, there was no problem with the officers serving in other places, but most of the soldiers could only serve nearby.

Think about it, if the time spent on the road would be several months or even half a year, the training time would be delayed.
