Chapter 218 Krupp Hurts Quasi-Ministry's Feelings

He knew that this suggestion was malicious and hidden, but Li Gan actually agreed with it in his heart.

In any case, it seems most appropriate for Liu Yu to guard the Western Regions.

Whether it's border demarcation negotiations, reputation shocking, or dealing with the relationship between all parties, they are the most suitable candidates for the DPRK and China.

If there is no navy thing, indeed.

However, the navy was in its infancy, and the big pie drawn by huge interests hung in Li Gan's heart, and Liu Yu was irreplaceable.

Financial issues are nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

Even if the money-losing goods in the Western Regions are handled well, they are just throttling.The money that can be saved is only limited.

But if the navy really has such a big interest, it is open source.

Open source is always more attractive than throttling.

"For the affairs of the Western Regions, I have already established a charter with Tianyou Palace. Liu Yu is young, with more courage but lack of composure, and has no experience in governing the region. The affairs of the Western Regions are not about weapons, but governance. He is not competent."

The memorial to pacify the Western Regions submitted by Liu Yu has already been discussed by Li Gan and the officials of the Tianyou Hall, and they have also been discussed in the court.

At this time, it was said that the background of the official government minister said: "I think there is another way to stabilize the Western Regions. According to the method discussed by your majesty before, it will cost a lot of money. Every year, farming and emigrating, from Xijing to Yili, thousands of miles, is not right. Easy, costly."

"I thought that it would be better to recruit farmers back to the local area for reclamation. In this way, we can save 10 taels of immigration costs from the national treasury every year."

"Mongols all believe in the Yellow Sect. If the Western Regions belong to the Hui tribe, the connection between Mongolia and the snow mountains will be cut off. The Hui tribe and the Zhunbu have their own blood feuds, and they can check and balance each other. In this way, there is no need to worry about the Oala tribe occupying the Western Regions, Khalkha, and even Monan, united into one."

"The Western Regions are all Hui tribes, with the Altai Mountains as the boundary, Mongolia to the north of the mountain, and Hui tribe to the south of the mountain. If this is the case, it will be difficult for Mongolia to achieve anything."

"The Hui people in the south of the Tianshan Mountains originally made a living by planting, not nomads. If the farmers from the Hui tribe were recruited locally for reclamation, the violence of relocating thousands of miles away would be saved. The annual saving of 10 taels could also be used to save money and grain. Govern with benevolence."

"In this way, our court does not need to station many soldiers there. Use Hui to control Mongolia, use Mongolia to control Hui, and Jisi to rule..."

Hearing that the minister of the official government mentioned this again, Li Gan regretted and wanted to slap himself in the face.

In the previous court discussions, it was very difficult to suppress this matter, but this time it was mentioned again, and Li Gan was also annoyed for a while.

However, every sentence in the official government's official book is for the country, and Li Gan is not easy to reprimand.

This idea is not the idea of ​​one person, but the idea of ​​many people.

It is too expensive to rule the Western Regions.With this money, what would you do wrong?Why all those meaningless lands?
Now that you have fought and fought, and the opponent has surrendered, and you want to immigrate there again, how much will it cost this year?
If the people who returned to the Ministry were recruited to cultivate on the spot, it would indeed save a lot of money. The oasis agricultural area south of the Tianshan Mountains was not nomadic.

It seems that it is also possible to use the power of Huibu to suppress Mongolia and prevent its resurgence.

Taking history as a mirror, Mongolia is so terrible, but the Ministry of Hui did not say that it has ever played a civil fort.

It's just that Li Gan knew the history of the Hui Bu's spread from Liu Yu, and he was also full of vigilance about the Hui Bu.

Although Liu Yu was arbitrarily advocating to kill the leader of the Black Mountain and Baishan faction with a knife, which made Li Gan a little uncomfortable, but he still supported Liu Yu's idea of ​​the overall policy.

Spend less now and spend more later.

money!money!money!
When thinking of money, you have to think of Liu Yu's painting of the navy cake. He frowned and said, "This matter has been discussed before, why do we need to discuss it again? The immigration matter must be implemented. It is absolutely impossible to recruit people from the south of Tianshan Mountain in order to save money and trouble." Go back to Yili to settle the land."

"In Gansu, Shanxi and other places, the land is barren and the people are suffering. You have never been to the Ili River Valley, but Liu Yu has seen it with your own eyes. It is suitable for growing wheat and cotton, and they are all high-quality fertile soil. Immigrants can also relieve Xijing. The disadvantage of too many people and too little land kills two birds with one stone."

"Exemption of money and food is only a temporary solution. Migration to reclaim wasteland is the only way to cure the root cause. You are all important ministers, don't you know the difference between specimens?"

Li Gan really didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, but the Minister of the Official Government continued: "Your Majesty, there were disputes in the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. Now that Anxi has been restored, the affairs of the Celestial Dynasty should be benevolent rather than extensive, and should be nourished rather than killed. , who will take a breath of despicable borders, suspend his armor and soldiers, and do the things of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors."

This can be regarded as generaling the emperor's army, which means that we can listen to you about the current affairs of the Western Regions, and that's it.

But in exchange, this is the last time to fight, and in the future, we still have to stop being contemptuous, disarm our soldiers, and act like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

It has only been 15 years since Li Gan came to power, and two battles have been fought, costing tens of millions of taels.

Now that the name has been gained and the power has been raised, it is time to fulfill the original promise.

When Liu Yu started the Guozijian, the emperor promised that exchanges with Russia and the pacification of the Western Regions were non-negotiable, in exchange for the public opinion of scholars not to make trouble.

Now that these two things have been done, the largest boundary of the traditional empire has been reached, and there is no point in fighting wars in the future.

Moreover, the two wars brought out the emperor's prestige, and brought out a lot of newcomers like Liu Yu, which seriously threatened the balance between the court and China.

There must always be a boundary between heaven and earth.Although relying on the advantage of firearms, these two battles did not deplete the national power, but it is best to stop here.

Otherwise, if the war continues, the power of generals will surely rise.

Dashun can be a general and a prime minister, and the existence of Wude Palace makes many generals educated, and they can't pee in the same pot as the imperial examination. Liu Yu's amazing words are still in my ears. Everyone is really afraid that after these people rise up, they will make big moves in Jiangnan.

The lessons of the late Ming Dynasty left different experiences for different classes in the court.

For Xungui, the experience is to rest with the country, if the country is gone, Xungui will also die.At that time, there will be another scene of General Quan's torture of the capital, and then there will be nothing left.

For civil servants, the experience is that military generals must not be allowed to rise.The status of civil servants comes from a stable central government. Once the government collapses and the generals are domineering, killing civil servants is like killing dogs.

However, one can learn from history that one learns nothing.In just 80 years, these experiences have once again been wiped out.

The nobles began to corrupt and degenerate, and the civil servants began to dig the corners of the government.

Now they all hope that the ship of the imperial court will go on the original established track.

No minister likes change, and there have been too many changes over the years.

War can often promote such changes, and some people already feel various unease.

However, they didn't know that the emperor still had some reform ideas in his heart, and they didn't know that Yi Guogong Liu Sheng, who was under the same roof as them, still held a memorial on military system reform in his hand.

Although Li Gan was very displeased with this attitude of haggling with the emperor, he still nodded and said, "Is there no rest in my heart to care for the people? Don't worry, my lords, unless someone provokes the majesty of the heaven, I will not move my troops. But if someone provokes , the so-called violators of the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away, and this must be done."

"However, even if there are no threats around, you can't let go of Nanshan. The country is so big, it is true that it will die if it is warlike. However, there is another sentence in the back, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger."

"Fortunately, God has blessed us this time, and the soldiers have used their lives to return to the Western Regions after a thousand years. There will be no more wars in the Northwest in the future, and this military exploit must be rewarded. Today I have been talking about the Western Regions, but I haven't talked about how to reward them."

Apparently, Li Gan didn't want to worry about whether to immigrate or recruit local returning peasants to cultivate land, and whether to fight in the future, and used an upright reason to distract this issue.

The Tianyou Palace had already discussed it, and the British official came forward and said: "In the battle of leveling, Liu Yu should take the lead, there is no doubt about it."

"It's okay to be a marquis if you destroy the country because of your merits. However, if you are young, you can be a marquis if you are young.

"If you take down the title and don't take it up, you will be an uncle."

"I made a custom for the court. There are Grand Mercure and Land Grand Prix. With Liu Yu's merits, he should be Grand Master."

"Since the previous dynasty, the Oirat tribes have been captives in the West. If you talk about Mercury, you should use 'Krupp' as the best."

"However, since the quasi-buyers are subdued, they are all citizens of the Celestial Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to call them Xilu."

"Liu Yu crossed the Altai Mountains, went straight to Ili, and made an indelible contribution. This place was where the Yingsuo Governor's Mansion was located in the Tang Dynasty, so it can be named 'Yingsuo'."

The Duke of England thought, if it weren't for the fact that the quasi-minister had already surrendered, it would be difficult for the country to call others Xilu Xilu. The title of "Krupp" is the most appropriate.

Krupp has become Eagle Sabo, which is really not very nice.

The ministers of the Tianyou Temple looked through the classics, and when they were about to give the Western Regions a new Chinese name, they found that no matter whether it was the Protectorate of the Western Regions or the Four Towns of Anxi in the Han Dynasty, they all centered on the south of Tianshan Mountain.

The core area of ​​the Zhunbu is in Ili. In fact, the north and south of the Altai Mountains are also its core pastures, which is the junction of Anxi and Beiting.

After searching for a long time, I finally found out that Tang Shi once ruled the Yingsuo Dudu Mansion near Yili, so this name is the most suitable.

Otherwise, Liu Yu didn't get there when he took Broken Yebo; Kuzbo was too far to the south.

Although all the courtiers were well-versed in poetry and books, they really didn't know much about this kind of thing. They didn't have any idea of ​​what the Western Regions were like and where the places were.

A few years ago, it was like a foreign country, but now the homeland of the Western Regions has been regained, the name of the city and the sub-district has not yet been decided, and few people know what Yingsuo Dudufu is.

Anyway, the knighthood is a foregone conclusion, and this cannot be changed.Even if you don't know where the Yingsuo Governor's Mansion is, since the British government said it, it sounds like there are no taboos or ominous questions, so there is no rebuttal.

The emperor naturally knew this title a long time ago, although he also felt that Krupp was better, but it was really not good to "hurt national feelings" for the sake of stability.

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, he smiled and said, "Well, I just heard that Ying Suo Bo of the Kingdom Dynasty has a memorial to submit. Duke Yi, why don't you submit it? Let's also listen to Ying Suo Bo's memorial, what is the matter? ?”

Liu Sheng, who had been silent all this time, knew what the emperor meant, that he wanted to get a proper name, and since he was granted the title of uncle, he would have the qualifications to discuss government affairs, so it was appropriate to bring it out at this time.

So he went forward and handed over the thick memorial, and Li Gan said with a smile: "Let someone read it, so that all the ministers can listen to it. When Uncle Ying Suo returns to Beijing, we can discuss it in the court."
