Chapter 388: One hundred years later, that place will be completely my territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, there are some things that Yang Hong did not say, and Zhu Qizhen knew very well in his heart that this veteran Youzi definitely knew that Tsushima Island and Jeju Island may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, Ming Dynasty controlled these two islands. The island is like having two more springboards, one can attack North Korea from the top, and attack Japan from the bottom.
You must know that during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates harassed the Ming Dynasty.
When Emperor Taizong Zhu Di came to power, he built ships on a large scale. Although his main purpose was to go to the oceans to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, he also took advantage of the situation to clean up the pirates.
Most of the pirates who brought disaster to areas such as the Ming Dynasty and Korea were Japanese pirates. After Taizong, the maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty ceased, and those pirates naturally reappeared and became more and more fierce.
These Japanese pirates are not just poor people who want to make ends meet because they can't survive. On the contrary, they are pirate fleets formed by many famous Japanese people in order to make extra money and use the luxury goods of the Ming Dynasty. .
Last year, after Cao Jixiang was ordered to form a fleet, he dealt with several groups of pirates. Among them, two-thirds of the masters behind the pirates were the Ming Dynasty of Japan. What is even more unexpected is that among the maritime merchants along the coast, many people actually dare to join in the troubles with the pirates, collude with the pirates, and attack their business competitors. Such methods are simply outrageous.
This made Zhu Qizhen furious. For this matter, he almost ignored the emperor's demeanor and slapped the table, danced and cursed others on the spot. However, after suppressing his anger, Zhu Qizhen kept this matter in his heart.
In the past year, Nanjing, where Wang Wen and Na Xing'an were in charge, had dealt with several such notorious maritime merchants, as well as a group of officials who were involved with these merchants. Now, they were finally ruthless. It shocked the corrupt officialdom of Jiangnan. Of course, this is just the beginning.
The original army of the capital camp had been reorganized by Zhu Qizhen. According to the pro-military camp method, the 230,000 troops of the capital camp were divided into five camps, which were stationed on all sides of the capital. In the end, The thirty thousand soldiers were stationed in the imperial city.
The organization of the army is also implemented according to the organization of the pro-military camp that has experienced the test of war and confirmed that this organization method can adapt to modern warfare. A battalion consists of five hundred men, five battalions constitute a regiment, two regiments constitute a brigade, and five brigades constitute a town. In other words, there are 50,000 troops in a town.
¡ª¡ª
In addition, Zhu Qi Town abolished Jizhou Town, integrated its soldiers, horses and garrison jurisdiction with the capital, and eliminated the soldiers and horses under his command and integrated them into the capital. In this way, the total number of soldiers eliminated from the capital reached nearly 100,000.
And these 100,000 people don¡¯t mean that the country will ignore you if you don¡¯t serve as soldiers. Zhu Qizhen had issued a decree as early as the beginning and ordered the officers to convey it to the ears of every soldier. Any soldier who was eliminated would receive a retirement fee of twenty taels of silver. As long as you are willing to obey the distribution of Zhu Qi Town and take your family to settle in Liaodong area. All can get twenty acres of fertile land per capita in Liaodong.
Moreover, the state will provide free agricultural tools for the houses, and each household will be equipped with a crossbow horse, several agricultural tools, and there will be guidance from agricultural experts on their use. The territory of Liaodong is just suitable for horse farming.
So far, nearly two-thirds of the 70,000 people eliminated have left for Liaodong with their families, and nearly half of the population has settled down in Liaodong. For this, Zhu Qizhen spent a lot of thought.
In order to complete this unprecedented migration and stabilize the morale of the people and the military, in addition to Zhu Qizhen, even important officials such as Yang Hong, Yu Qian, Chen Xun, etc. also spent all their time and blood.
And Sun Jizong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was appointed by Zhu Qizhen as the immigration inspector, almost broke his legs while running. He only arrested more than a hundred petty officials and officials who dared to take cards.
When he reported to Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen, who had always been considered by the civil and military ministers in the court to have become benevolent and righteous, with a cold face and a stroke of his pen, killed more than a hundred officials and minor officials outside the Meridian Gate. Of. For a moment, the whole world couldn't help but tremble.
No one dared to obstruct this immigration project overtly or covertly. Although many candidates for the imperial examination were unwilling to serve as officials in such a bitter and cold place, they could not withstand Zhu Qizhen's temptation, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen There are still many junior college students in Qizhen's new imperial examination.
"These people are not like those chatty guys, who are gibbering, reluctant, andThey are a bit more practical and diligent than those traditional scholars who spend all day playing with folding fans and hanging out with prostitutes and reciting poems.
It is precisely because of the appearance of people like them that the migration of tens of thousands of retired soldiers and their family members of nearly 200,000 people did not cause any major setbacks and deviations.
Moreover, although the people who have settled down in Liaodong are somewhat uncomfortable with the coldness of the new environment, the fertile land and abundant output, although only for one season, are enough to cover their family's expenses. There is wealth and use.
What's more, these lands will be exempted from taxes for ten years and half of the taxes for twenty years. Such good news and good policies are simply unbelievable. If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen, the great tomorrow Zi personally entered the military camp and made a promise to the soldiers who were about to retire. I am afraid that few people would be able to believe that such a good thing would happen.
Nowadays, some retired soldiers who were originally unwilling to leave have already changed their minds under the persuasion of their contacts who had gone there earlier. Therefore, this wave of immigration will continue.
Moreover, Zhu Qizhen is of course optimistic about the success, and hopes to spread the population evenly and make the originally sparsely populated Liaodong area lively, so that it will no longer be a barbaric land, but a paradise for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Because this guard station set up at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty has long lost its military role today.
In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is really no need for these guardsmen who don¡¯t even know how to use weapons to guard it.
Zhu Qizhen¡¯s idea is to completely eliminate these health centers, and those eliminated will of course be prioritized as immigration targets. After all, they still have the identity of a military household.
Zhu Qizhen believes that as long as the migration work from Liaodong and northern Korea can be done well, then even if those soldiers who have been abolished from the guard station will not happily go to foreign lands, at least they will have a stable journey along the way. , and after arriving in their new hometown, they will use their hard-working hands to build that land into a prosperous and strong place.
¡°A hundred years later, that place will be completely my territory of the Ming Dynasty.
