Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 640 The Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are both short of people
The local officials of the Ming Dynasty were directly under the central government, which made the emperor and prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty extremely greedy, but they played too much in the initial stage, and they conquered the world in one fell swoop.

As a result, they were overwhelmed. At least in the next ten or 20 years, they would not be able to solve this problem. If it weren't for the Zhuxia Federation behind the Northern Song Dynasty, it is estimated that many people have already made up their minds to become kings on their own.

This was discovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he decisively stopped Daming's limit expansion plan. This was his only move after leaving the throne.

Tens of millions of people are not enough to control the world. At least hundreds of millions of people are enough to rule the world. This is a point that the Ming royal family agrees with. Otherwise, they would slaughter the barbarians like the Northern Song Dynasty.

Isn't it good to turn those barbarians into laborers?

They are well aware of the choice of the Northern Song Dynasty, simply because the local population is insufficient and their hearts are too big.

They would not choose this way, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were at least one hundred million people here, and tens of millions of them were about to endure the hardships of the Little Ice Age. They wanted these people very much.

They supported the pacification of the troubled times in the late Ming Dynasty, and then supplemented themselves by absorbing the population of the troubled times in the late Ming Dynasty. This is what they thought.

As for how to absorb it, it is to give money, food and land.

Isn’t what the people of Zhuxia want is the land that can grow food? Everyone has a land complex. It can even be said that the land is stable, the people’s hearts are at ease, and the community is solid. The 5000-year development history of Zhuxia is a history of land. history of revolution.

What Erdaming lacked was not land but population.

I don’t know if they confirmed that the Northern Song Dynasty was also short of population, so the Northern Song Dynasty is now secretly seducing the population of the main world and the Millennium World with young women as the attraction. It is said that it has already absorbed tens of thousands of permanent residents.

Daming didn't want to learn from the Northern Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty was too soft to come up with this idea. As for Daming, they didn't want to do such a thing. It would be too embarrassing.

The most important thing is that there were too many women and tigress in the Ming Dynasty, which scared away many caring people. Think about Qi Jiguang, think about why adults like to keep cats, and why they put grapevines in their yards, and you will understand. If I say too much, I will cry.

After Daming made up his plan, he immediately started to implement it.

Lan Yu took Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Zuo Liangyu away from Beijing with those guest troops and the Four Guards Battalion. These three were considered to be talented generals, but lacked experience, and Lan Yu no matter what It seems that they were all the top generals in the early Ming Dynasty, so they were directly put under Lan Yu's hands for training.

On the way, the three of them were constantly confused by Lan Yu. They played all kinds of war chess deduction and actual military exercises, and the result was that they lost all the way from the capital to Xuanda. But it's not that there is nothing to gain. Anyway, according to Lan Yu, these people can be independent even if they are added together in the chaos of the early Ming Dynasty.

Lan Yu's evaluation of these three people is still good, but only Zuo Liangyu has some opinions. This man has too much heart, and he must be overwhelmed by someone at any time, otherwise he is an ambitious wolf, so he can only be the deputy commander. , not to be the coach, and once Zuo Liangyu becomes bigger, he will be killed.

And Sun Chuanting is a man who leads the army to fight. If you hand over the soldiers and horses to him, everything will be safe. Let him play alone. This is a Confucian military general who can be absolutely trusted. talent.

Lu Xiangsheng, it's better not to lead the army to fight. This person doesn't look like a literati, but he is a brave general in his bones. I don't know how such a person is born among the civil servants. In war, this guy is very good at training troops.

The guest army and soldiers from the Four Guards Battalion who came this time have become much more powerful than before under his training all the way. They are all regarded as belonging to a strong army. Although they cannot be compared with the real top-level powerhouses, it is no problem to sweep the world here.

It can be said that as long as the ballast stones sent by Zhu Yuanzhang are not counted, these troops are invincible.

This caused Lan Yu to ask a question, Zhu Youjian, who had such a strong army, and Zhu Yunqi, who was with Zhengshuo, which of these two prodigal sons was the more useless.

This question troubled him for a long time.

It wasn't until he experienced a little ice age that had been drought for more than ten years that he knew that Zhu Yunqi was even more of a waste.

After arriving at the land of Xuanda, Lan Yu took her own soldiers to hide in the rear, entrusted the three of them to be responsible for everything, and told them the purpose of this time.

Knowing that they were going to cleanse Xuanda, kill the eight major locust merchants, and meet with Huang Taiji, the three of them became excited.

They don't know how many grass bandits and bandits they have beaten along the way, and they don't know how many times they have been defeated by Lan Yu's men, but they understand one thing, that is, in this troubled world, they are really invincible, and Huang Taiji is invincible. The rest of Guan Ning's soldiers couldn't beat them, but before these people under their hands came, they completely wiped out Guan Ning's army.

Coupled with the large army brought by Sapphire, no matter how they look at it, they are sure to win.

If this battle is won, it will be famous in history.

All three of them have the same problem now, that is, they attach great importance to fame. Lan Yu reckons that this is a common feature of the literati and military generals of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, the morbid pursuit of fame before and after their lives.

However, Sapphire didn't care about these things. In his opinion, it is much better to ask for something than nothing.

After Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Zuo Liangyu arrived at Xuanda University, they locked themselves in the room for a long time. They discussed for several days and came up with several sets of plans, and then put them together one by one. All the plans were overthrown, because they found that no matter how they made the plan, they all had a problem, that is, Huang Taiji and the Eight Banners. If these people don't solve it, their plans will all have loopholes, and they will give Xuanda and Zhangjiakou locusts a problem. They didn't like the fact that Shang left a lifeline behind.

In the end, they discussed and discussed and decided to see how Sapphire could solve this problem.

But Lan Yu had already run back to the capital at this time, and he only left a guard of soldiers and horses to take over Zhangjiakou, and he didn't explain anything else. Being dissatisfied, full and invincible is completely something that I brag about myself.

Before he left, he put down his words, as long as they called, there would be a big surprise waiting for them.
