Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 790: Crossing Guandong (9)

Since Wu Linzheng left Beijing for Liao, he has been in charge of all immigration matters in Liao. He keenly discovered a phenomenon: whether it was the Liaodong Governor-General's Office, the Liaodong Governor's Office, or the Liaodong Provincial Administration, from the chief officer to officials at all levels, they all did things efficiently.

Especially Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou, both of them were very powerful provincial governors. If we really have to say the differences between them, one is external and the other is introverted.

It is precisely because of this that although the governor and governor-general of Liaodong are both relatively strong, they can still get along well on some issues and concepts.

Even Wu Linzheng had heard some rumors that after the Battle of Jinshan, the Jianlu were severely defeated by the army led by Xiong Tingbi, and the various tribes returned to Shenyang victoriously. The situation in Liaodong tended to stabilize. Hong Chengchou ran to Shenyang City and started a quarrel with Xiong Tingbi. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Hongxun, the Liaodong inspector, also went to Shenyang and persuaded the two to leave, who knows what trouble would have happened. This rumor was very detailed.

"Governor Hong, are you really going to insist on setting up a state-owned farm in Liaohetao?" After the meeting, Wu Linzheng did not leave, but went to find Hong Chengchou.

"Yes."

Hong Chengchou stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map in front of him. "This is not only what the governor insisted on, but also what Xiong Butang agreed with after he learned about it. This just happens to coincide with what Xiong Butang had in mind."

"Yizhou Station, located north of Liaoxi, Qingyun Station, located west of Liaohai, and Hongzhou Station between the two places will all be stationed with a team of elite cavalrymen on a rotating basis."

"After the above adjustments, plus the partial implementation before, the Ming Dynasty's border defense system in Liaodong will be more complete. If there are breakthroughs and progress in the military, the civil affairs must keep up."

"Have you ever thought about Hong Futai?"

Wu Linzheng pondered for a moment, frowned and looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Because the ideas you proposed involve the time limit for immigrants to Liao, it may be greatly delayed."

"Of course I thought of that."

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "If Liaodong wants to be truly developed and governed, at least 700 million people must be relocated from the interior."

"How many?!"

Wu Linzheng's eyes widened and he interrupted Hong Chengchou, "700 million people migrated to Liao? How is this possible?!"

Since the preparations for the immigration to Liaoning began, Wu Linzheng had thought about the scale of the migration. At most, it would be several million people. Any more would be absolutely impossible.

After all, there are only a few people on the Yellow Book.

Seeing Wu Linzheng like this, Hong Chengchou smiled. When he first learned about the scale, he had the same reaction as Wu Linzheng. However, in the imperial edict he received, the emperor mentioned the population hidden in various places. Based on the actual situation in Liaodong, Hong Chengchou keenly realized that the population outside the yellow book was probably an extremely shocking number!

"Whether it is possible or not, we will see in the future."

Hong Chengchou calmed down and looked at the shocked Wu Linzheng, "The policy of immigration to Liao will be implemented for at least ten years, or even longer."

"So for many things, we can't just focus on the present and ignore the future. The stability of Liaodong cannot be achieved by simply defending, but also requires advancement based on the situation. Therefore, the Jianlu must be suppressed, and the Mengta must be suppressed even more."

"Let's not talk about anything else. No forces that threaten the borders of the Ming Dynasty are allowed to exist on the land of the southern grasslands. Northern Zhili and other places have their own things to do, and Liaodong also has its own things to do."

"Has Governor Hong ever thought about what kind of burden so many things piling up together will bring to the imperial court and Liaodong?" Wu Linzheng frowned.

"It's good to have burdens. At least it can motivate us to move forward."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Your Majesty once said that there are always more solutions than problems. When you encounter a problem, you should solve it. You can't be afraid and dare not step forward, right?"

It was also at this moment that Wu Linzheng suddenly felt that Hong Chengchou was very strange.

Because of what Hong Chengchou said, Wu Linzheng suddenly realized that the various resettlements in Liaodong needed to be adjusted, which was not a good thing for the immigration to Liaodong that had already started. "Hong Futai, I want to go to Shenyang."

Thinking of this, Wu Linzheng said as he met Hong Chengchou's gaze.

"can."

Hong Chengchou seemed to have guessed it beforehand, and kept smiling as he said, "I think Xiong Butang would also like to see you again at this time. I will send someone to escort you. As for the recent shelter and resettlement, the Governor's Office will take care of it."

"I will be back by the end of this month at the latest."

Wu Linzheng pondered for a moment and said what he was thinking, "I am in charge of the resettlement and reception in Liao, and I cannot escape from the battle."

Hong Chengchou didn't say anything else.

Hong Chengchou thought it was a good thing that Wu Linzheng was serious about his work, and that it should be maintained. After all, doing things in Liao was different from doing things in other places.

It's a good thing to be more serious.

If you don't take things seriously in Liaodong, you won't get anything done.

"Hong Futai, that person left?"

After a cup of tea, Fu Zonglong, the Left Governor of Liaodong, came. Seeing Hong Chengchou still looking at the map, he smiled and asked, "What does he think about the establishment of a state-owned farm in Liaohetao?"

"Same as before."

Hong Chengchou didn't care at all. He stretched out his hand to Fu Zonglong and said, "Since you are here, the governor of the province has sent someone to invite you again. The expansion of the highways and the improvement of water conservancy in the prefectures, counties and cities of Liaodong will be the responsibility of your provincial government."

"As for the personnel issue, I will recruit you in batches by the end of this year. I have too much to do and cannot take care of everything at once."

"You know better than anyone how important these two things are to Liaodong, so I don't want any mistakes in the expansion of the highway and the improvement of water conservancy."

"Don't worry, Governor."

After hearing this, Fu Zonglong stopped smiling and said, "If anything goes wrong, from me to the officials at all levels, we will let the governor and the governor-general deal with us. Whether to kill or chop, we will let the governor and the ministers deal with us!!"

"How can we deal with the Left Governor of Liaodong?"

Hong Chengchou laughed after hearing this, and pointed at Fu Zonglong and said, "I feel relieved when you say this. Whether Liaodong can change and whether it will no longer be invaded by foreign races in the future depends on the next few years."

"Yes."

Fu Zonglong nodded and said, "Liaodong has been harassed by wars for a long time, and it is time for a good change. Now Liaodong and I are working together. Although there are many problems, I believe that they can be solved one by one."

"Hopefully."

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Some places in Liaodong have shown signs of trouble. These must be resolved as soon as possible."

It is said that it is easy to conquer an empire but difficult to keep it. This is absolutely true. With the end of the Battle of Jinshan, some changes have taken place in Liaodong. From the past when people were terrified at the mention of the Jian Lu, to the current contempt for the Jian Lu, some people even did not take the Jian Lu seriously at all. After all, how could the Jian Lu make any progress if they went to places like Ci, Lu and Wei, which are so bitter and cold?
This is also what Hong Chengchou, Xiong Tingbi and others have been dealing with in the past, and many of them have been reprimanded or even dismissed for this! !
