Chapter 1421 The extra canal

Huang Taiji and Dorgon were immediately interested when they heard that Fan Wencheng could make a section of the connection between the Changjin River and Datong River navigable.

Huang Taiji said excitedly: "If sir can solve the navigation problem of this fifty-mile road, then our Qing Dynasty will have control of a grand canal. From then on, North Korean materials will be transported continuously; and our main force can also be transported continuously.

By continuously transporting it, we can firmly hold North Korea in our hands. Not only will it bring us countless supplies and break the Ming Dynasty's blockade, but we can also completely contain Dongjiang Town in North Korea and let him have a taste of us.

Attack from the north, but suffer the pain of containment from the south."

Dorgon asked: "Sir, is there any way to connect these two rivers?"

Fan Wencheng said confidently: "Since the emperor and Baylor talked about the Grand Canal, the Grand Canal is actually not navigable in the shallowest part of the water. However, since the Qin Dynasty, fences and bamboo mats have been used on various canals to block water and drive away water."

"Level up method." Seeing that the two people didn't understand, Fan Wencheng was so excited that he ignored the rules and directly pulled a piece of paper, picked up the imperial pen used by Huang Taiji, and started to explain the principle of this method to the two people on the paper.

.

The reason is very simple, it is the step-by-step ship lock method most commonly used in later generations.

Seeing such a simple and practical method, even Huang Taiji and Dorgon, who were rare in the world, had to sigh in admiration for the intelligence of the Han people.

Huang Taiji paced back and forth in Nuan Pavilion excitedly: "As long as this canal is opened, all the difficulties of our Qing Dynasty will be solved now. In terms of recovery, we Manchus endure hardships and stand hard work and recover much faster than the Ming Dynasty."

.When the time comes, before they have recovered their strength, we will beat them hard. When the time comes, the one who laughs last will be me, our Qing Dynasty."

Dorgon and Fan Wencheng both expressed their heartfelt approval for this ambition.

Standing still: "Fourteenth Brother, I will leave this matter to you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Dorgon turned over and knelt down: "My brother understands that you asked me to take charge of this canal, open up the connection with the two princes, continuously transport North Korea's supplies, and support the two princes to establish a foothold in North Korea.

.”

Huang Taiji was very pleased that this smart brother understood his thoughts, but in fact he had another intention, to drive out Dorgon, the core figure of the Azig Dorgon Doze clique who also threatened his rule.

Central power center, this really serves multiple purposes.

"Long live this, this is a very confidential mission that must not be known to anyone, so Dorgon Beile should have an excuse for this operation."

Huang Taiji thought for a while and decided: "I now allow you to expand to thirty Niulu, and then assign the Baishan and Linjiang areas to your banner, take your tribe and slaves, and go there to serve me.

The Qing Dynasty cultivated land to produce food for me and the Qing Dynasty."

Being allowed to increase the number of troops is equivalent to taking off the shackles on Dorgon's neck and expanding the Baishan Riverside area. Although it is now a barren land, after this survey, Dorgon knows that emotions span that area.

A large mountain forest, where there is not only the Yalu River, but also the Songhua River and the Nen River. It is a vast impact plain. As long as the weeds are burned and plowed up, it will be the most fertile land. As long as there are enough people, there is no need to go out.

In three to five years, it will be a huge granary. If it occupies the hub of transshipment materials between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, within a year or two, it will be a paradise in the Northeast.

"To show your determination to colonize the land, please ask the emperor to give me another 30,000 slaves."

Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng had a very good impression of Duo Ze's respect for him. At that time, he said: "This is necessary. After all, there are thousands of miles of canal routes and huge amounts of materials are transported. It is impossible without sufficient manpower."

Huang Taiji believed that this was indeed the case, so after careful consideration, he said: "Okay, because you need manpower for farming, I will reward you with 30,000 slaves."

Dorgon reminded with a smile: "Because there are rivers and rivers there, let's invite the original fishermen of the Liaohe River and Yalu River to take charge."

Huang Taiji clapped his hands and said, "For this reason, I hope you will build that area into a land of plenty."

So the three people looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing, Huang Taiji stared at his younger brother: "In two months, three months at most, I hope to see the grain you brought from "farming" in Shengjing."

Dorgon looked at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng shook his robe: "Because the settlement matter is related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty, in principle the Manchu people don't know much about farming, and the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, so of course he sent me, a Hanchen who knows a little bit.

I personally hosted it.”

Dorgon took Fan Wencheng's hands and said, "With your help, I can let the emperor see the results of my settlement in two months at most."

Fan Wencheng said to Huang Taiji without hesitation: "If we let out some more rumors, for example, Banzai is very, very dissatisfied with the Fourteenth Belle for contradicting him. In order to strengthen Gangchang's ethics, he will kick the Fourteenth Belle out to farm.

As a punishment. And the reason why I was sent there is because I am loyal to the emperor, so in disguise, I was asked to monitor Lord Baylor."

Huang Taiji laughed: "The Dongjiang Town Detective Team is pervasive. Only this method can hide the truth." Then he said sadly: "Actually, we don't need to deliberately spread rumors. As long as we make this move, people will naturally misunderstand me like this.

Ah." Then tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he held Dorgon's hands with both hands: "For the eternal foundation of the Qing Dynasty, please believe in me, brother."

Dorgon also had tears in his eyes and turned over and knelt down again: "How could I not know my brother's feelings for me? Everyone in the world can misunderstand my brother, but I will not misunderstand him."

Everyone was relieved and no longer had any worries. Then Huang Taiji ordered the royal banquet to be brought into the house. The three of them ate and drank and studied the map carefully. Unknowingly, it was already dark.

.

We lit candles and talked all night long. Before we knew it, the rooster crowed three times outside and the sky was filled with morning glow.

Huang Taiji blew out the candle in his hand and stretched his body easily: "We have thought of everything we should think about. I think this is a perfect plan. The morning court will start soon, and then I will announce its implementation."

"Then the emperor urged me to leave three times, and then I was so pissed that I took the people and went to the barren land to farm."

Today's morning came heavy news. Because of the problem of rising food prices mentioned at yesterday's meeting, the emperor had a solution, which was to assign Baishan Linjiang and other places to Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner fiefdom and let him go

They were stationed there to guard the border and produce grain for Daijin. However, because Dorgon did not know how to farm, the emperor specially sent his most trusted party member Fan Wencheng to accompany him for guidance. Three days, only three days were given, and he had to leave Shengjing to take up his post. If he dared

If you stay, you will be severely punished.

Although the people below looked at this arrangement indifferently, everyone felt sad for Dorgon. This was tantamount to a disguised arrangement, Dorgon, it's over.

Of course, Dorgon was unwilling to accept it, so he put forward harsh conditions and required an additional 30 Niulu establishments.

It seemed that Huang Taiji wanted to get him out as soon as possible, so he agreed without hesitation.

Dorgon was still unwilling to give up, and once again asked for 30,000 slaves to be rewarded, so as to delay it.

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and actually agreed.

There were really no conditions left to raise. On the morning of the fourth day, Dorgon took the 30,000 slaves he had improvised and sadly headed east. But everyone could clearly see that the 30,000 slaves he got

, turned out to be all fishermen who had lost their family business. He was asked to settle the land, but instead he was given fishermen. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions in Huang Taiji.

Such important news, of course, reached Dongjiang Town. Mao Wenlong was convinced that Huang Taiji arranged Dorgon in this way, because he knew the history. In history, Huang Taiji suppressed Dorgon during his lifetime. Especially it is said that Dorgon and Dorgon were
