Chapter 71 Migrating Population
For the Ming Dynasty, population migration is an urgent matter.
Given the current emptiness of Sichuan, it is not a problem to move millions of people.
Military farming, training, and developing science and technology trees...
As long as there are people, there are countless possibilities for development.
Otherwise, all the ideas are the moon in the water and flowers in the mirror, and they are illusory and unrealistic.
However, large-scale population migration is not easy. People in this era have a strong sense of land. Even if their hometown is poor, they are not willing to leave their hometown until they cannot get rid of the blame.
If Zhu Youlang wants to move the people of Yunnan to Sichuan, he needs to give the people enough benefits and make them willingly come.
If you think about it carefully, what Zhu Youlang can give is just land and policy.
Needless to say, there is land near Chengdu now.
And these are all lands without a border, so you can divide them as you want.
As for the policy, it is naturally exempt from taxes and the like.
As long as these policies are in place, the people should be willing to come.
Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the people of Yunnan to fill Sichuan.
Zhu Youlang still has to look farther away.
Huguang is a good choice.
The incident of Huguang filling Sichuan has happened in history, which is enough to show that this move is feasible.
The only problem is that Huguang is still in the Qing Dynasty, and when the Thirteen Kuidong families were fighting guerrilla wars and raiding Huguang, they could only rely on propaganda to bring back a group of people who could not survive in the local area.
After all, Huguang is not under the rule of the Ming court, and the enforceability of the government orders will be suspected. People with families and families will not leave their hometowns even if the conditions given by the Ming army are generous.
This is completely different from the situation in Yunnan.
After all, the Ming Dynasty still had the right to speak in Yunnan.
In other words, those homeless bachelors will choose to gamble, after all, if you win the bet, you will turn your back on your life.
In a popular saying, if you want to gamble, will it be a bicycle turn into a motorcycle?
Anyway, I am barefoot, and even if I lose, I won’t lose anything.
This will also actively exert the enthusiasm of the Thirteen Kuidong families and allow them to do something.
Just like Mao Wenlong back then.
Pidao and Dongjiang Town were not the main forces in the anti-Qing Dynasty, but because of this, the Later Jin Dynasty would not focus on Dongjiang Town, which was against Mao Wenlong.
Yuan Chonghuan is their primary consideration.
In this way, when the Later Jin attacked the Ningjin defense line, Mao Wenlong could lead the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to appear calmly at the rear of the Later Jin Dynasty and raise their blood pressure.
This strategy of mutual opposition has proved to be very useful.
On the contrary, after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the Later Jin Dynasty lost its scruples. Not only could he attack Ning Jin, but he could even cross the border wall without any scruples, without worrying about the old nest being taken over.
In this sense, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong was a big trick.
Of course, Zhu Youlang would not do such a thing as destroying the Great Wall. He not only wanted to use the Thirteen Kuidong families, but also used them well and diligently. They were willing to use them.
What Ming Dynasty lacks the most now is time.
Whether it is attacking Myanmar, growing food, making firearms, and developing the economy will take time.
As long as the Thirteen Kuidong families can restrain the main force of the Qing army, they will gain enough time for the Ming Dynasty to have the confidence to turn the tables.
This strategy should be implemented without any compromise.
Zhu Youlang is preparing to personally issue an imperial edict to explain the matter.
It happened that the thirteen nobles were all here, so I made it clear and left no blind spots or hidden dangers.
Zhu Youlang firmly believes that only by being open and honest can we really do things well.
As for the prince, Zhu Youlang is also planning to take him by his side for his experience.
Although the crown prince was still young, he was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he would inherit the throne in the future.
It's also good to have an early experience.
"Come, Xuan Wen'an's visit."
Zhu Youlang wanted to discuss the details of the migration of the people with Wen Anzhi. With Wen Anzhi's ability to handle internal affairs, it was easy to make some reasonable plans.

Victory can cover up many contradictions, while failure can intensify and amplify contradictions.
After Chongqing fell, the Qing court was furious. Emperor Shunzhi surrendered three imperial edicts to order Hong Chengchou to counterattack.
Hong Chengchou was so arrogant that he did not dare to write a letter to defend himself.
But internal work still needs to be done.
Hong Chengchou summoned his generals to discuss the feasibility of attacking Chongqing, but he was unable to reach an agreement.
Many generals believed that it would take many small roads and mountain roads to attack Chongqing from Guizhou, and it was difficult for a large army to move forward. What's more, Wu Sangui is not obeying the order now, and if he refuses to fight the Qing army, he will lose a sharp sword.
If you attack Chongqing from Huguang, you have to pass through the territory of the Thirteen Kuidong families, and it will feel bad if you are locked in your throat.
Seeing that the left and right disputes could not come to an end, Hong Chengchou cleared his throat and said, "Chongqing failed, don't do anything."
The court will not be satisfied with it. Chongqing must be fought, so Qingzhi might as well go there."
Zhao Liangdong frowned and said, "Jingluo Hong, there are only 5,000 troops under the quota. This amount of troops is not enough to be too hampered. Isn't it a joke to fight Chongqing?"
Hong Chengchou glanced at him and found that the house was full of his own people.
He coughed and said, "It doesn't matter what you beat. As long as you go, this strategy will be enough to give the court a memorial."
Of course, an old Yinbi like Hong Chengchou knows that it is impossible to conquer Chongqing now.
But the young emperor Shunzhi was young and energetic, and was beaten like this by the Ming army, so he naturally had to hurry to find the place.
If Hong Chengchou did nothing, he would be deceiving the king, and the outcome could be imagined.
But if you beat it but lose it at most, it is a crime of unfavorable work, and it is relatively lighter.
"I understand!"
Hong Chengchou made the words so clear that Zhao Liangdong immediately turned red.
As for Wu Sangui, the skinny dog, Hong Chengchou was temporarily instructed.
However, it is impossible for him to let him eat for free here. The evil people still need to be beaten by the evil people. Hong Chengchou decided to push this problem to the young emperor Shunzhi.
With the arrogance and conceit of the young emperor Shunzhi, it is impossible for Wu Sangui to do nothing like this.
At that time, if an imperial edict is issued, Wu Sangui will definitely be so scared that he will urinate.
If you want to end up in a mess, you must bleed and work hard.
Compared with Chongqing, Hong Chengchou's attention is instead concentrated on Yunnan.
The Ming army's surprise attack was certainly amazing, but Yunnan's troops would be empty. If they took the opportunity to attack, even if they could not defeat Kunming, they would definitely be able to chew a piece of meat.
Big credit and small credit are all credits. It is important to block the mouths of the emperor and the court first.
I thought that destroying Ming was a natural thing, but now it seems that there are variables again.
It is impossible to chew this piece of fat in one bite, so just try it slowly.
