Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth free farming
Everyone looked at each other, and many people showed a look of eagerness to try.
With the demise of most of the high-level and vital forces of the Qing Dynasty headed by Huang Taiji, the Qing Dynasty country can be said to have been in name only. Even though Huang Taiji transferred the most elite Zhenghuang Banner to Hetuara in advance, the situation was already hopeless, and their final fate could be foreseeable in the face of the Ming army's offensive.
Attacking Hertuala now is like grabbing snails with three fingers. It’s almost certain to win. Facing such a reward that can be said to be a waste of money, no one will be moved.
Soon, someone stood up.
"The governor, marquis, the last general is willing to lead the troops of our troops to come!"
When everyone saw that it was Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou shouted loudly: "Mr., I will guarantee that Hetua La will be taken down within half a month, and all the Qing Dynasty abuses will be taken down and submitted to you. If you cannot do so, you will be dealt with by military law!"
"The governor, the last general is willing to go!"
"I'm willing to go!"
As the words fell, Zu Dale, Zhao Shujiao, and Liaodong generals came forward to ask for their orders.
Looking at the general who stepped forward to ask for his orders, Sun Chengzong was both relieved and embarrassed, especially what made him feel ashamed that there was no shadow of Jiangning Army general among these generals who asked for his orders.
Is it because Jiang Ningjun didn’t understand that this credit was easy? Of course not. In Sun Chengzong’s view, this was just because people disdained to take credit.
On one hand, he tried his best to seize credit, while on the other hand, he was calmly waiting and watching. In this way, both sides made a judgment on the superiority and inferiority, so how can he not embarrass Sun Chengzong, who is the Liaodong governor, feel embarrassed?
After coughing lightly, Sun Chengzong turned his head and asked Yang Feng: "Jiang Ning Hou, I wonder what you have to say about this?"
Yang Feng smiled faintly: "As the head coach, you are naturally determined by your will. Since all the generals have the intention to make contributions to the country, it is naturally difficult for me to stop me. We, Jiangning Army, will not get involved in this matter. Just make a decision, Lord Sun."
Sun Chengzong knew that Yang Feng was giving him face. Of course, he would not think that Yang Feng could not see the credit in it. After thinking about it, he said: "Although Huang Taiji and many prisoners who died and captured the death of the princes and ministers, no one knows how many backup they have in Hetuala, so we cannot take this battle lightly.
Zu Dashou, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dale, you three are in charge of their troops and horses to Hetuala. You must wipe out all the remnants of the Qing Dynasty there. This governor and Jiang Ning wait for your good news here!"
"I will obey the order, thank you to the governor!"
Zu Dashou and the other three were overjoyed and bowed to Sun Chengzong to thank him.
After arranging this matter, Sun Chengzong said to everyone: "Everyone, I will call you here today. In addition to taking advantage of the victory, there is another thing to discuss with you.
After Shenyang was recovered, it can be said that Liaodong was back in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. The most urgent task was to re-establish the Shenyang Guard dispatched garrison troops, but it was not enough to have garrison troops alone, but people had to have them.
Moreover, once the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the court would not be unable to support Liaodong as before. Therefore, how to maintain the survival of the Liaodong army has become the most urgent task at present. After thinking about it, I thought that if I wanted to support nearly 100,000 Liaodong troops, I could only recruit the people to develop military farms.
However, Liaodong was originally vast and sparsely populated. After decades of poisoning by the Tartars, the Han people in Liaodong reduced from more than 2 million to less than 500,000 so far. This population alone cannot maintain our Liaodong army. I wonder what good ideas do you have?"
"this……"
As soon as Sun Chengzong said this, all the generals present were stunned.
If we talk about how to fight and arrange troops, most of the people present can say a little, but this involves the issue of national economy, people's livelihood and even how to increase the population of reproduction, they will be blind.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but shook his head slightly disappointed: "Did you have no way to do anything?"
The generals couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly. The governor really looked down on them. For such a big problem, even if the court had to convene several court discussions before it could be decided. Asking them is simply a question Yu Blind.
Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little anxious. As the imperial teacher of the dynasty, the Liaodong commander, and the Wenhua Palace Grand Secretary, he naturally could not finish the war like a military officer. He had to consider the post-war reconstruction and even how to re-take roots in Liaodong again.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and he was thinking about this issue, but he still had no idea. Today he asked to listen to everyone's opinions, but the result disappointed him.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan spoke, and saw him standing up and bowing to Sun Chengzong and saying, "The governor, the subordinates thought that Liaodong had been killed and poisoned by many years of Tartars, and there was only one way to quickly increase the population, that is, mobilize the people to relocate from within the pass, and only in this way can the population of Liaodong be increased in a short period of time."
Sun Chengzong sighed: "Element, I thought of this method, but outside the pass is a barren and bitter place. It is not easy to mobilize the people to move outside the pass. What is more important is the silver for the relocation? Where does these things come from?"
After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan stopped talking.
The attachment of the Chinese people to the land is well known. If they are not really unable to survive, who would want to leave their hometown and come to a strange place to start their life again, let alone a famous bitter and cold place like Liaodong.
Well, even if you want to mobilize the people, you have to pay for the settlement, right? You have to give them grain seeds and agricultural tools? You have to provide them with grain before the grain is produced, right?
Which of these does not require silver? What's more, the number of mobilized people is not hundreds or thousands, at least tens of millions of people. There are so many people who need to eat and drink, and the money they need is so popular. Where can the imperial court now afford it?
At this time, a voice sounded, "Actually, there is no way to solve this problem."
"oh?"
Sun Chengzong's body was shocked and he looked at the person who was talking in surprise, that is, Yang Feng sitting next to him.
"Is it possible that the Jiangning Hou has a good idea?"
Yang Feng nodded and said, "I dare not take good advice, but I do have some stupid opinions. I want to discuss it with Lord Sun. If you think it is appropriate, we can jointly submit a memorial to the court."
What a smart person Sun Chengzong was. He immediately knew something Yang Feng didn't want to say in front of everyone. He nodded immediately, "Since that's the case, let's leave first. Marquis, please follow me to the inner hall to talk."
When the two returned to the inner hall, Sun Chengzong said seriously: "There is no one here, Jiangning Hou has something to say."
"I said this directly." Yang Feng said: "Have you ever thought about distributing the land in Liaodong to the people for free to farm?"
