If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 90

After Zhu Zhanjun said that he could no longer refine it, this bottle of green glass Yang Yang Pill suddenly became a sought-after item. Even if Zhu Gaochi had many heirs and could not use it, he grabbed Zhu Gaosui and insisted on getting half of it from him.

But Zhu Gaosui was not easy to deal with either. He gritted his teeth and refused to hand it over.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhanji on the side persuaded Zhu Gaosui: "Third uncle, please don't offend my father now. In three months, grandpa will ask you and your second uncle to join the feudal clan. By then, you will have some shortcomings in the fiefdom." , shouldn’t you expect my father to allocate funds to you from the court?

You have offended my father now. When the time comes, he will tell you "I have no money." Third uncle, you will have to go to the mountains and forests to catch rabbits by yourself. "

"Nonsense, am your father and I like that? It's your father and I who have the final say whether the court has money or not? If your third uncle really needs anything, can I, as your elder brother, give it to you?" Zhu Gaochi's face looked a little arrogant. , but still looked longingly at the jade bottle in Zhu Gaosui's hand.

Zhu Gaosui reacted to what Zhu Zhanji said. The prince was still in charge of the court's finances. If he offended him, life would be difficult in the future.

So although Zhu Gaosui was a little reluctant, he still bargained with Zhu Gaochi for a while and divided the bottle of green glass Yang Yang Pill.

Zhu Zhanchen watched them messing around but didn't say anything to stop them. It wasn't until his fat father sat down on the chair in the tent with satisfaction that Zhu Zhanchen said: "Grandpa intends to restart the vassal king's border guarding system and re-distribute feudal lands. The Eight Great Fortress Kings and the Three Kings of Liaodong also developed the land of Liaodong to stabilize the situation outside the pass and compress the living space of the Mongols.

Among them, Nuer Gandusi is the top priority. Originally, grandpa intended to let the second or third uncle manage it. Now that the three kings of Liaodong are included, it seems that grandpa hopes to completely occupy this land. "

"Nu'er Gandusi is not a very easy place to occupy!" When Zhu Zhanquan said that Zhu Di was determined to occupy the entire Liaodong, the expression on Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly became unsightly. He knew this place, so he started to explain. : "This was once the Liaoyang Province of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. During the Hongwu period, Liu Yifeng, Pingzhang of the Liaoyang Province of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, came to the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court immediately established the Liaodong Guard.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, the former Yuan Taiwei Naha invaded Liaodong and was defeated by the Liaodong Guards. Later, Naha sent troops to Kaiyuan Jinshan, with a total of 20 people, to continue to resist the Ming Dynasty's northward march.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu sent generals Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu to lead an army of 20 people northward. They defeated Tongzhou and sent sentry horses out of Songting Pass to find out that many Yuan soldiers were stationed in Qingzhou, so he ordered Lan Yu's light troops to go there. Attack.

It snowed heavily at that time, and the Yuan soldiers were not prepared. Unexpectedly, the Ming army suddenly arrived and was defeated.Pingzhang Guolai was killed, Guolai Zi Bulanxi was captured, Naha came out to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court finally took control of Liaodong.

In the first year of Yongle, your grandfather sent Xingshu and others to entrust Nuerqian to appease various tribes.In the second year, Nuergan and other guards were installed, and more than 130 guard stations were built successively.

In the seventh year of Yongle, local officials suddenly sent a letter to Xiu Nu, and your grandfather decided to set up Nu'er Gandu Division to take charge of various health centers.

In addition to the bitter cold climate, this place has been constantly harassed by the Yuan Dynasty forces. Although the imperial court has not never made conquests. During the Hongwu Dynasty, the three kings of Liaodong also threatened the Mongols after they became vassals. But if you want to completely occupy this place, It cannot be done overnight. "

If you want to develop an area, it doesn't mean just moving people there and then setting up administrative agencies in this area.

Nurgandusi used to be the old land of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Mongolians still live in this area today. The famous Duoyan Sanwei and Jianzhou Jurchen are all ethnic minorities living in this area. The climate is cold and the folk customs are tough. The land is also raw land that has never been cultivated.Although the land here is the most fertile black soil in the world, it is not easy to cultivate and develop this area in the face of the cold environment of the ice age for half of the year.

During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, a province was established here, but the Mongolians mainly lived a nomadic hunting life. Although they also built cities, they mainly lived in pursuit of water and grass.

The Ming Dynasty established a large number of guards and posts here, totaling more than [-], but they were mainly garrisons.

For the Mongolian, Jurchen, Jirimi, Kuyi, Daur and other ethnic groups living in the Nurgandusi area, the Ming Dynasty still mainly adopted the restraint method to govern them.

Because the Liaoyang area was once the fiefdom of the three kings of Liaodong, relatively speaking, some Han people moved to live in it. In addition, it is close to the pass, so people moved here one after another later, and it was relatively developed.

As for the areas farther north, in the more than [-] years from the ninth year of Yongle to the eighth year of Xuande, the imperial court sent Zhongguan Yishuha nine times to inspect and recruit, established a large number of guard posts and thousands of households, and In the eighth year of Xuande's reign, Yongning Temple was rebuilt and a stone tablet was erected as a record.

But in the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty after Xuande, there were mainly Jisi like the Southwest Chieftains, and the Liaoyang generation was really under the jurisdiction of the court.

The policy of expanding northward in the early Ming Dynasty was completely abandoned. After that, the Jurchens in Jianzhou gradually rose up and became the actual controller of this area by the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty emerged in this area in later generations, the Manchus regarded this place as the so-called "Longxing" place and always used it as an escape route for those who were driven back outside the customs. Therefore, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Han people were strictly prohibited from leaving the customs.

It was not until the Yellow River overflowed during the Tongzhi period that a large number of disaster-stricken people from the Central Plains and Shandong areas broke into the Northeast at the risk of being punished. This led to a significant increase in the population of the Liaodong area, and this is the origin of the "crossing into the Guandong".

Regarding this area, whether it was for the purpose of reclaiming the black soil or considering the military suppression of the Jurchens and Mongols in Jianzhou, Zhu Zhanqi could not give up the development of this area because of the slightest difficulty.

So he said to Zhu Gaochi: "Father, you are right, but if the court keeps ignoring this place, the Mongols will continue to harass Liaodong. Over time, the court will lose control of Liaodong, and then the Mongols will lose the land of Liaodong." Without the constraints, it is possible to directly attack the Great Wall. It is not impossible to even reach Peiping or bypass the Great Wall and enter the pass.

Considering that grandpa's current policy is to conduct the Northern Expedition, completely conquer the Mongols, and completely conquer this area, it is necessary for the imperial court to develop the Liaodong and Nurgandusi areas.

So this is the reason why grandpa plans to restart the enfeoffment of the three kings of Liaodong, and also plans to enfeoff the second uncle and the third uncle.

This will further squeeze the living space of the Mongols and local Jurchens, drive them further north, and relieve the problem of the Ming Dynasty's northern border being harassed by Mongols all year round.

It can be said that the area under the jurisdiction of Nuergandusi will be the focus of the imperial court's policy towards the north in the next few decades at least. Therefore, the development of Nuergandusi is inevitable, especially since grandpa also plans to move the capital to Peking and build a new capital by then. If the required wood, money and grain could be produced from Liaodong and Nuergan, wouldn't the imperial court be able to save a lot of money and grain? "
