Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

The plan of the common people who suffered a lot in the Qing Dynasty,
It can't be said to be insane, but it can also be called inhumane.

Liaodong was originally a place of bitter cold. You let the people lose their homes and food, and you still have to occupy other people's land, let their wives and daughters serve as slaves and handmaidens, and the young and strong laborers have to become their own tenants.

The Manchu and Han officials had enough to eat, and Huang Taiji’s food was also collected, but how did the Manchu and Han people at the bottom live?
And here, I have to mention Manchuria, the nation of my Qing Dynasty.

As we all know, the country of my Qing Dynasty is originally Manchuria, and Manchuria is divided into familiar Manchuria, pseudo Manchuria, raw Manchuria, and wild Manchuria.

The one that can truly be called the country is Shu Manchuria.

Later, those who raised the flag belonged to the fake Manchuria, and those who were born in Manchuria did not belong to the Jurchen tribes at the beginning, nor did they belong to the original Niulu of the Eight Banners, but belonged to the Jurchen tribes that were not in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. They did not think they were Manchus.

The wild manchus are those wild Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests. They were basically captured and used as slaves for the Qing Dynasty to grow grain, hunt and fish.

Just like those scholars and scholars never regarded themselves and peasants as the same kind of people, they thought they were superior to others, and did not even regard peasants as human beings, so the real Manchuria did not regard the false Manchuria and the raw Manchuria as their own, and the nobles of Manchuria did not They will treat Manchurian civilians as their own.

They are not the same kind of people anymore, and the gentlemen are out of the ordinary human race, so how can they care about the life and death of these Manchurian civilians and Han Chinese civilians?

Everyone pays taxes, which shows that my Qing Dynasty does not distinguish between Manchu and Han, and treats them all as equals.

And this made not only the Han people start to flee Liaodong one after another, but also the wild Jurchens who were caught as tenant farmers in the deep mountains and old forests to plant land for the lords, and even many real Manchurians ran with them.

In Liaodong right now, whether you are a real Manchurian, a born Manchurian, a pseudo-Manchurian, or a wild Manchurian, life cannot be said to be in dire straits, but life is worse than death. If you don’t run now, you really can’t run away.

After Yuan Chonghuan in Liaonan got the news, he immediately reported it to the court, hoping to accept these exiled people to enrich the population of Liaonan.

After all, southern Liaoning seems to have a huge area right now. There are six towns plus one Anshan, and so many villages, but the population is very small. Now it is only more than [-] people. The population of southern Liaoning has greatly increased the strength of southern Liaoning.

Zhang Haogu's instructions to Yuan Chonghuan's excerpts are: Yes, treat the fugitive people kindly, regardless of Manchu and Han, they are all one.

In June and one month of the ninth year of Tianqi alone, tens of thousands of people fled to southern Liaoning.

In July, August, and September of the ninth year of the Apocalypse, a steady stream of people fled to southern Liaoning. After these people arrived in southern Liaoning, Yuan Chonghuan also implemented Zhang Haogu's policy, whether it was Manchus or Jurchens , Han people, or savages, as long as they come and register and are willing to become the people of Ming Dynasty, they will give you a piece of land, and you can farm here with peace of mind and support your family.

By the time of the tenth month of the Apocalypse, a large area of ​​land in Liaodong was already deserted, and the people fled one after another. The noble officials of the Qing Dynasty had to send troops to block the border checkpoints and strictly forbid the people to leave. On the one hand, it forces the people who are still here to bear higher taxes, and on the other hand, it also intensifies the efforts to catch savages from deep mountains and old forests.

This is also easy to understand. After all, your neighbors have run away. If you don’t run away, then your neighbor’s taxes will naturally be borne by you, and the population is insufficient, so it’s easier to handle. Catch Jurchen, Koreans, and Mongols , arresting the Han people will always be sufficient for the population.

Anyway, it's enough to give Huang Taiji a good-looking paper data when the time comes.

Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing after inquiring about the news from southern and eastern Liaoning.

People are the foundation, and there are people who have the bottom line. If you have land but no people to cultivate and work, what is the use?

"According to those scholars in Manqing, Huang Taiji's Manqing will be completely uninhabited." Zhu Youxiao smiled very happily. No matter how you look at it, Manqing looks like it won't last long. The dog that came out to back Da Ming would not be able to jump for long.

Holding the jade wat, Zhang Haogu smiled and described his next plan to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, look."

"In just a few months, tens of thousands of people fled to southern Liaoning. They include not only Han Chinese and Manchus, but also Jurchens and savages."

"These Nurses and savages were originally captured by Huang Taiji and forced to become subjects. They are proficient in fishing and hunting, and can ride and shoot in the mountains and forests. If these people are well trained, they will be the second [-] Battalion of Ming Dynasty. what."

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the [-] Mongolian cavalry from outside the Great Wall to the Ming Dynasty were organized into one by Emperor Yongle, named the [-] Battalion. Since then, the [-] Battalion has become a very important part of the Daming Capital Battalion and the main force of the Ming Dynasty. Assault Troopers, for they are all cavalry.

Now the new three major battalions established in the northern and southern capitals have few Mongolian cavalry to rely on, so the three thousand battalion has become a cavalry with Han Chinese as the main force, which is why the third battalion of the capital needs training.

Now that there are these Jurchens and Manchus who have surrendered, the Ming Dynasty can form a new [-] battalion in southern Liaoning, which will be used as the main cavalry in the future.

Zhu Youxiao naturally agreed with Zhang Haogu's idea. He also knew that Daming was short of cavalry, but what really needed cavalry strength was not the capital, but the border. The capital could slowly train the cavalry, but the border could not.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then ask the cabinet to give Yuan Chonghuan an order to ask Yuan Chonghuan to select young and strong riders who are good at riding and shooting from the fleeing Manchu, Han and Jurchens, and organize a battalion to train riding and shooting."

After talking about the resettlement of the people who fled to southern Liaoning, Zhang Haogu brought up another roll of map: "Your Majesty, please take a look at this map."

When Zhu Youxiao saw it, his eyes widened: "Why is this map so big?!"

Looking left and right on the map, and then looking at the outline of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help but say: "So, my Ming Dynasty is only this big on the map?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the map of all countries that I asked the Westerners to send. Although it is not very detailed, it is still a rare map nowadays. There are Western countries, Southeast Asian countries, and the countries around the Ming Dynasty. .”

"This is Liaodong, this is Raksha, this is North Korea, this is Dongyi, this is Nanyang, this is Ryukyu, and this is Brunei"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the map with bright eyes: "It turns out that the world is so big and there are so many places that don't belong to Daming."

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was interested, Zhang Haogu struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Your Majesty, this overseas trade is very profitable."
