Operation

The blue waves ripples in the lake, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the red columns and green tiles, and the four corners of the eaves are like a swallow spreading its wings. The tall and majestic main hall has the front hall, the screen wall, the corridor, the middle hall, the garden garden of the courtyard, the back hall, the back garden, the attached garden, the house is scaled, and the Quyuan Pavilion is very luxurious.

The wide and flat bluestone floor in front of the door is equipped with a drainage ditch leading to the canal not far from the door of Duke Weiguo. A bridge is flying on the canal, connecting two mansions. As a chandelier, this white marble foundation building, the door archway that is several meters high seems too exaggerated, but Wei Bin and Wei said that this is a ready-made material removed from Xuanming Palace, and it will never be broken and made into small things. Why does it cost the people and the money?

Eunuch Wei, one of the eight tigers in the past, was so worried about the country and the people. What else could Yang Ling say? He had to let him go. The stone lion in front of the Huang'an gate was also moved from Xuanming Palace. It was extremely tall and could not see the lion's mane on the horse because its base was very tall.

The imperial temple has not been completed yet, and you can see craftsmen carrying things in and out. Under the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree transplanted by the door, there were three people sitting next to it, with a table with teapots and tea bowls on the table. The three of them were all ordinary green cloth shirts, sitting on the stool and drinking tea while chatting. It looked like people like foreman.

Some craftsmen entering and leaving are responsible for building pavilions, some are responsible for the halls, some are responsible for rockery, and some are responsible for flowers and plants. They are all under their jurisdiction. It is normal not to recognize three people, but when they pass by the three, they will be very dedicated.

There were three people, one was a gray-bearded old man with a clear and kind face, the other was a young man with a straight nose, square mouth, starry eyes, and a white and tender one. He didn't smile on his face, but he had a three-point smile. Although he was over 50 years old, his chin was so naked that he could not see a single hair, and he looked like a very kind old lady.

A poor man in thick robe wandered around for a long time before he mustered up the courage to come over and whispered with a smile: "Three masters, are you still recruiting workers here?"

He looked at the old man who was not bearded and was the most kind, so he said this to him. Unexpectedly, the old man with a kind face pulled and said with a stern face: "Well! This place is almost completed, and there is no need for labor anymore."

"Oh, thank you, sir!" The man's shoulders collapsed and his face was full of disappointment.

Seeing him turning around and leaving, the young man suddenly smiled and said, "Second brother, are you from Shandong?"

When people from Shandong meet, if they are strangers, they are not called Big Brother, but Second Brother, which is said to be because of the two well-known figures in Shandong, both literary and military rank second. These two are naturally Confucius and Wu Song.

The poor man was surprised and happy to see the young man calling his second brother. He thought he was a fellow Shandong villager, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Ang, I am from Shandong."

He said that his eyes had already emitted hope, hoping that the young man could arrange a job for him in the face of his fellow villager.

"Oh... Where is Shandong?"

"From Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture."

"Liaocheng, haha, please sit down and let's talk."

The poor man didn't dare to sit down and said with a smile: "No, I'll just stand and reply to the young master's words."

The young master stopped forcing and chatted with him with a smile. It turned out that this poor man was also from Shanxi and immigrated to Shandong during the Taizu.

The young master in Qing smiled and said, "Haha. If it weren't for Hu Dahai and the East Returning Yan, second brother, you should still live in your hometown in Shanxi."

The poor man was also happy when he heard this and said, "It's not so good. So, you are our fellow villager, Mr.?"

The young man in green smiled but said nothing.

It turned out that Shanxi immigrants were unwilling to leave their hometowns, but were forced to move away. Therefore, they resented the court. It was obviously because of the war that the population had dropped sharply, but these immigrants made up a story. It was said that Hu Dahai, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, looked ugly when he was begging for food in Henan. Few people were willing to give him a charity, but instead insulted him more. Hu Dahai was bullied by the locals in Henan, so he held a grudge.

Later, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, and became a general after repeated military achievements. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he rewarded all the generals. Hu Dahai only asked to allow him to go to Henan to take revenge, so Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to allow him to go to Henan and kill the people in the land of one arrow to bear revenge.

When Hu Dahai arrived in Henan, he saw a line of geese flying from the sky, so he had a plan. He shot the tail of the geese with an arrow. The geese flew with arrows. Wherever it flew, Hu Dahai would kill him. The geese flew from Henan to Shandong. Hu Dahai would burn all the areas in Henan and Shandong, causing the land to be barren for thousands of miles and the people were empty. The court had to immigrate to Shandong.

The people used this story to vent their dissatisfaction with the court, but the story of immigrants and Hu Dahai and the return of the east were a taboo after all. Although the government was very relaxed in this legend and no one paid attention to it, everyone just told them privately, and no one dared to put it on the table. Moreover, only the local people in Shandong knew about this story. The young man in Qingyi was joking with him like this, so he must be a fellow villager.

Seeing the fellow villagers in a foreign land, tears were filled with tears. The poor man suddenly became intimate and his attitude became more casual. He moved the stool and sat down, and started chatting with the young master in Qingyi.

When the White Army was in trouble in Shandong, he brought his old and helped his children back to Shanxi. However, although his father and grandparents often mentioned that there, they had been away for more than a hundred years, so where was there a relative? Who else went to surrender to? Besides, Zhao Sui was in Shanxi, and it was not peaceful, so his whole family fled to Beijing again.

The young master in Qingyi smiled and said, "Crazy Zhao, I heard that he did not attack cities and villages everywhere in Shanxi, but fled to Zhongtiao Mountain to recruit soldiers and horses. Is this a matter?"

"It's the land. Zhao Fengzi is not like Liuliuqi and Yang Xiahu. He doesn't rob anything everywhere, he doesn't engage in siege, killing and looting, nor does he rely on opening warehouses and releasing relief to attract hungry people. I heard that he opened a government office in the mountains, practiced military and martial arts, and recruited refugees from all over the world to cultivate. Now the Mongols Army has also gone to surrender to him.

If you want to talk about this person, he is a bandit, he is not a bandit, and he often fights against the officers and soldiers. I always feel that it is not so right to do this. I have a wife and a child, so I didn’t go to make trouble with him.”

The young master in Qing laughed and said, "Second brother, you are right to do this. Well... there are too many refugees in the capital. It is not easy to find some work. Shandong has recovered from peace, but this spring has caused trouble in white-clothed bandits, and it has been a long time since the farming season. If all refugees return to Shandong, there will be not so much relief for the yamen."

"And, what I'm talking about, why didn't I go back?" After the poor man said, he said with a sad face: "But there is no way back. I can't find a job to stay in Beijing. How can I live like a wife and a family?"

"I will show you a way out, how do you think?" The young man in Qing pondered for a moment and said, "The court now opens workshops and builds pastures in Liaodong. How many people do you need? The land is black and fertile. If you sprinkle the seeds, you will have a good harvest in autumn. The mountains are easy to feed people. Sometimes you can start a group of pheasants, roe deer, and fat rabbits can sometimes be shaken up by walking in the grass ankles. You can do odd jobs all day long. Can you beg for food for the rest of your life? If you want me, it is better to go to Guandong, and you may be able to make a fortune."

"Crash into Guandong?" The poor man hesitated when he heard this.

The young man in Qing sighed softly and said, "If you plan to rely on odd jobs and have to survive, you can actually survive, but what should you do if your child is? Let him continue to walk on your road when he grows up? Farming, hunting, working in shipyards, leather workshops, pastures, and even doing small businesses in the market is a legitimate job. It's not good to have a wife and have a fat grandson?

There is a place supported by the imperial court. When you go, you will give the house and food rations first. You don’t have to walk all the way. There is a ‘Volunteer Immigration Office’ set up at the north gate to sign up. The official will take you on a boat, and you will also take care of food and accommodation along the way. What do you think?"

For the sake of the child, this reason completely touched the poor man. He thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "You are right. I can beg for food, so I can't let the child grow up and still do this. What the young master is talking about is the North City Gate? I..... Where are my five children, will the yamen care about us?"

The young master in Qingyi was amused and said, "Don't worry. Even if you go to register, the court can still take care of the land, but when you get to the place, you have to rely on yourself. There are many ways to make money, and you can't bear to endure hardships."

The poor man slapped his chest and said gratefully: "Young master, don't worry, I have the strength and do not hesitate to do it. I will sign up now. If I make a name for myself in the future, I will remember your good deeds for the rest of my life."

Looking at the back of the poor man who had left in a hurry, the young man smiled slightly.

The official immigrants who sailed to the Nuergandu Commander Office had already entered Heilongjiang at this time.

The commander of the Nurgandu Commander was the highest local government in the Ming Dynasty governing the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins. Its jurisdiction ranged from the Onan River in the west (now the Onen River), to the Outer Xing'an Mountains in the north, to the Tumen River in the east, to the northeast, and to the Sakhalin Island. The people of Mongolia, Jurchens, Jirimi, Kuyi, Daur and other ethnic groups in the mainland mostly make a living by fishing and hunting. But they are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

The northern guards were divided into fragments by the three Jurchens and the three Duoyan guards. The Nuergan area was separated by the Haixi Jurchens, the savage Jurchens and the Shenyang guards, and the Shenyang guards and the Liaodong guards were separated by the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Duoyan guards.

Now these tribes are still weak and have no intention of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty. The various garrisons can still connect with each other. Once these local tribes gradually become stronger and have different intentions, several major military bases will be immediately divided and isolated, surrounded and annihilated.

The first step in Yangling's immigration was to transfer Han people to the northernmost part of the Ming Dynasty. The large increase in Han people's immigration increased, while changing the proportion of ethnic composition in the territory of the Nuergandusi, it would greatly enhance the influence of the imperial court in this area.

Moreover, the one next to Nuergandusi is the most backward Haixi Jurchen in the three Jurchens. They only know how to hunt and fish, and Han immigrants who are proficient in farming and breeding. It is really easy to assimilate these most backward and primitive ethnic groups in the three Jurchens.

How much grain can a mu of land be used to make? How many cattle and sheep can be raised by a mu of pasture? Backward people are not stupid. They will not have too many considerations. Instead, they value these practical interests the most. Once they realize the benefits of farming, these naturally brave and warlike warriors will be the most honest and loyal farmers in the Ming Dynasty after two generations.

Here, the people in the country have been here for a long time to spend a lot of trouble in order to survive, but this is the first time that the official large-scale immigration has been launched. Since then, there will be a steady stream of...

On the majestic Heilongjiang River, more than ten large ships are sailing through the wind and waves. On the left is an endless plain. Under the breeze, green waves rise and fall, and grass waves roam like the sea. On the right is an infinite primitive forest.

Looking from a distance, large areas of primeval forests looked like green mushroom buns bulging on the big plain. When I saw them, I saw that there were huge trees, pine trees, birch trees, oak trees, poplar trees... densely packed, some of which needed six or seven people to be surrounded by them.

The people on the boat went up the shore when they were resting. They saw that no one had ever stepped into the primitive forest before, full of flowers and wild vegetables. Bees, butterflies were flying up and down, mushrooms, hazelnuts, millet, and various wild fruit trees were countless, and sometimes they would accidentally step on a nest of quail eggs and pheasant eggs.

There are many preys here. What they like most is the roe deer. The roe deer here has never seen anyone. When they see it, they don’t turn around and run away, but stand there and look foolishly. People walk in front of them with sticks and can pile them down with one stick. Because of their arrival, the roe deer got a cute nickname: silly roe deer. Many years later, some people use it to describe their kind.

They have never seen this big fish in the river. It has red spots, a big mouth with sharp teeth, but its meat taste is unique and very delicious. According to local boat people in the transport area, this fish is only available here. It is called salmon.

The boat reached the middle of the river. With the fierce waves, the boat bumped violently. The boss of the boat appeared barefoot like a crab. He stepped on the deck warmed by the sun, shook his bare shoulders to the bow, turned around suddenly, and shouted into the cabin: "Are there any Shandong people on the boat?"

Liaodong Wei is under the jurisdiction of Shandong, so most of the people who had the conditions to move through Liaodong outside the pass were mostly Shandong people. Over time, a legend has been left here. The legend has been said that Heilongjiang was originally called Bailongjiang, and there was a harsh white dragon living in the river. Later, a new dragon god came, a Shandong man named Bald Tail Lao Li. He defeated Bailong and regarded this place as his cave, so he changed the name to Heilongjiang.

So at this point, no matter whether there are Shandong people on the boat, they have to ask so loudly. No matter whether they are Shandong people or not, they have to reply loudly, "Yes". In this way, when Lao Li, a bald tail, heard that his fellow villager came, he could bless the people on the boat to smooth sailing without capsizing. This is the rules of sailing.

Most of the volunteer immigrants in the cabin were from Shandong, and there were from Hebei and Henan. However, after hearing the boss's shout, they immediately replied in unison without hesitation: "Yes! I am from Shandong!"

There were also several monks, Taoists and two Western missionaries on the ship. The news of the Ming Dynasty building a Western church in the capital had been spread through envoys from various countries. Many missionaries scattered in Luzon, Japan and even the South China Sea immediately rushed to the Ming Dynasty happily. These two volunteered to go to the Great Northern Wilderness to preach and donate.

I asked this when I drove the boat, and when I entered the river mouth, they already knew the rules. Several monks and Taoists smiled and said nothing. The two blonde and blue-eyed foreign monks knew the principle of following the local customs, so they also shouted strangely: "We are also from Shandong!"

The boss of the temporary ship is General Peng Xiaoyang. He stared at a pair of big eyes like a frog and snatched the immigrants with family members in the cabin with hatred, thinking: "Grandma, are you all full? Why do you shout so loudly? If you are ruined, you will be ruined in your Shandong!"

He turned around and looked forward with a cool blouse, feeling worried: "How far is this far from Keme? Lord Yang is so cruel. Didn't I just set off a big firecracker? I didn't cause too much trouble? As for exiling me for three thousand miles and exiling me to this place?

But it wouldn't work if I didn't come. My old man admired Lord Yang the most. I didn't listen to Lord Yang. The old man didn't even skin me? The deputy envoy of the military and general regiment training, how could he sound like a general? But I heard that he was a horse to control the army and dismounted the horse to control the people. Well, he was very wide-minded."

Nuer is not only responsible for preparing military affairs. In this semi-military area, the military affairs office is responsible for taxation, regiment training, money and grain, water conservancy, military farming, salt and tea, post and even criminal names, and manage local tribes and suppress rebellions. Not only can they manage civil servants of prefectures, prefectures, and counties, but they can also control the military positions of the governors, garrisons, thousand generals, and generals in the areas under their jurisdiction.

This is a first-level administrative agency inserted between the Nuergandu Command and the more than 100 semi-army and half-man garrisons here. Military and civil affairs are all taken at once. Peng Xiaoyang naturally cannot do such a major matter. He is just a sub-patrol of the military and military preparation roads, in charge of naval and land training and immigration regiment training.

The court sent Ma Lun, the assistant chief envoy of the Censorate, to serve as the Noor, to serve as the governor, to be in charge of important military and civil affairs affairs. Yang Shen, the official department chief, was appointed as the deputy envoy of military and civil affairs, and to be in charge of civil affairs. Peng Xiaoyang and two generals promoted from the Northeast Guard Office were in charge of military and political affairs.

Peng Xiaoyang rushed to the sidewalk and sat down next to the front railing, his legs swung leisurely, and waves splashed under his feet. From time to time, big fish two or three meters long jumped out of the water.

Peng Xiaoyang hugged the railing with a frown, and a big black face against the sun-scalding smooth wood. He sighed heavily: "It's okay to ask me to build a naval army. I also have to manage cavalry, infantry, and a group of refugees. I have to train soldiers who can fight on horseback and get off horseback. Cough! Other places are used as people to raise soldiers, and Lord Yang insists on supporting the people as soldiers. It's so difficult..., I... I have to learn riding horses first..."

When Peng Xiaoyang thought of riding a horse, he felt scared: "If I had known this, I would not have accompanied Adni to Texas. It was all caused by women... It was all caused by firecrackers!"

He held the flagpole and squeaked with his nails. He looked at the forest in the distance with a grievance.

"This man is looking for work everywhere, but he has never heard of the voluntary immigration of the official helper. It seems that the government has to step up to spread it to the people," said the old man in Qingxiu and smiled. This man was Li Dongyang, a Grand Secretary Li who had retired but had not returned home.

Yang Ling, the young man in Qingyi, laughed and said, "There are no fixed places for refugees. Some people always know the news later, except for the government, the vehicles and shops. People have arranged publicity in various places. I didn't meet me today. I will sooner or later hear the wind."

Li Dongyang nodded and frowned slightly and said, "Immigration and establishment of industries are a matter that requires long-term implementation, slow results, outstanding and stable results. It involves all aspects of military, political, economic and cultural affairs. The corresponding measures must be formulated in a timely manner according to the problems encountered by immigrants. There will be no problems in the short term.

The most urgent task is to cause trouble. Zhao Shui entered Shanxi with great momentum, but acted like he wanted to be the king of the mountain. He still kept his troops in motion and actually opened the mountain fields. I saw that this person had a lot of ambitions. Liu Liu and Liu Qi joined forces with Yang Hu, went out of Shandong, Henan, went to Huguang, and then to Nanzhili. He was still the same as bandits and bandits who walked along the way. They now have about 50,000 soldiers, and these 50,000 soldiers were all tempered from thousands of troops, and their combat power was a little stronger than Yang Hu's 100,000 troops.

Now the court implements their own responsibilities and their own local principles, and does not give them the opportunity to take advantage of it. Although they have no place to establish a stable stronghold, they will suffer many people if they roam like this. Once they enter the Central Plains, there will be room for them to maneuver. It is not easy for the chasing troops of the court to gather and annihilate them."

Yang Ling said little, "Sir, I want to wipe it out in one fell swoop, but he won't avoid a decisive battle, so we won't fight as soon as we want to. However, their army has one biggest weakness, that is, the troops are equal in strength from two places, and the generals are equal in strength from two gates. This means that they can only be in a cooperative relationship and cannot really be united.

They ran around and used war to support the war. At first, they could be unexpected and played some role when the court had no time to react. Now, wherever the bandits went, the place was firm and cleared, and the troops were stationed and defended themselves. The pursuers were never left and chased, and no army could do so without rest and rest, and they were in a state of war for a long time. Their defeat was not far away."

Seeing that Li Dongyang was still worried, Yang Ling comforted him: "This purposeless mobile battle is about strength, and it cannot be solved by one or two famous generals, because they do not have a clear goal. There is no way to guess their possible movements to surround them. Moreover, the news on the battlefield changes rapidly, so they can only rely on the officers and soldiers who are in the battle to play their own way."

Yang Ling came out of the God of Cong, picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea, and said, "They are in Jiangnan and Zhao Sui are in Shanxi. At present, Zhao Sui is the most peaceful, but I think he threatens the court far more than Yang Hu and Liu Liu. I want to find an opportunity to go to Shanxi, and use military siege to surround Zhao Sui with kindness. If he can turn swords into jade and silk, that would be the best."

Li Dongyang agreed, "Well! Boyan rushed to Qinghai Lake for thousands of miles and killed Gasbu's head. He reset his tribe under his jurisdiction. Although some nomadic tribes that did not belong to the Ming Dynasty stopped in Qinghai and thrived there, they did not have a clear regime, and the court was now out of reach for Qinghai. He could only turn a blind eye.

Then Boyan is very different. If Boyan occupys Qinghai, it is possible that the Hami Guard's retreat will be cut off. To the north, there are the Oirat and the Huosie Ground. They will not sit still and watch Boyan stay in his own confidant place. Once they lead their troops south to Qinghai, the Hami Guard will be implicated. At the same time, it endangers Gansu and the four kinds, and then the court will have to move if it doesn't want to move troops.

The situation is very dangerous now. Shanxi is located on the border and is the gateway to the northwest of the court. It has the responsibility of defending the capital. Only when the worries here can the court be resolved can the troops be launched in Qinghai Lake."

Yang Ling's face became solemn: "I mean that, if Zhao Sui knows things, it is a matter of great merit. It's okay to be appointed as a high-ranking official. If he refuses to give up, he will have to drive him out of Shanxi no matter what. It is absolutely impossible to establish a base there. The siege of the Central Plains is slowly building and gradually closing the net. At that time, he will be driven in and clean up with Yang Hu!"

The old man with white face and no beard is Eunuch Wei. He really couldn't get into what the two said, so he kept standing there as a deaf ear. When he heard Yang Ling's bold words, he took the opportunity to interject, applauded and said, "The Duke of the State is a clever plan and wins a thousand miles. Those clowns must not be your opponent."

Yang Ling smiled faintly and said, "This is a forced one. If this happened suddenly in Qinghai, I would concentrate on dealing with Liu Liu and Yang Hu. Zhao Sui wanted to breathe in Shanxi, so he would let him breathe for the time being. The court is tired and needs to take a breath and take a break.

But now it is not possible. If Qinghai is lost, the narrow and long passage in northwest of Gansu will be cut off immediately, and Hami will never have hope of taking it back. Hami is the main transportation route of Yumenguan through the Hexi Corridor, and the throat of the Silk Road. It is necessary to manage the countries in the South China Sea smoothly. The Malaga cannot be misunderstood. It is necessary to manage the countries in the Western Regions smoothly. Hami also cannot be misunderstood.

Once the entire Western Regions are connected, it will be difficult to get back the large piece of land lost by the Ming Dynasty, and it will be isolated from the Western Regions from then on. The Hetao area, which is "the Yellow River is harmful to all kinds of harms, only rich ones" has no hope of recovery. It will become the most stable frontier of the barbarians. They can advance to the Ming Dynasty from here at any time and attack the Ming Dynasty's hinterland..., Eunuch Wei, the situation in Qinghai thousands of miles away is actually a hundred times more serious than the Liu Liu Rebellion in the heart of the Central Plains."

Wei Bin suddenly realized when he heard this: No wonder Duke Wei Guo was surprised to attack Qinghai Lake when he heard that Boyan had a surprise attack on Qinghai Lake, and immediately returned to the capital from Shandong. Most of the officials in the court were talented men in Jiangnan. Seeing the remnants of bandits wandering to Jiangnan to their hometown to cause chaos, Duke Wei Guo did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Some people angrily criticized him for his arrogant achievements in raising bandits, and he ignored them. It turned out that he said this."
To be continued...
