The people of the Qing Dynasty suffered so much from this plan,

It can't be said to be crazy, it can also be said to be inhumane.

Liaodong is a bitter and cold land. You have deprived the people of their homes and food. You have to occupy other people's land, make their wives and daughters work as slaves, and the young and strong laborers will become your own tenants.

The Manchu officials and Han officials were well fed, and Huang Taiji's grain was harvested, but how could the Manchus and Han people at the bottom survive?

And here, I have to mention Manchuria, the nation of the Qing Dynasty.

As we all know, the Qing Dynasty was originally Manchuria, and Manchuria was divided into mature Manchuria, pseudo Manchuria, raw Manchuria, wild Manchuria, etc.

What can truly be called the foundation of the country is Manchuria.

Those who later raised the flag belonged to the false Manchuria, and those who were born in Manchuria did not belong to the Jurchen tribes at the beginning, nor did they belong to the original Niulu of the Eight Banners. They belonged to the Jurchen tribes that were not within the Qing Dynasty. They did not consider themselves Manchus.

The Wild Manchus are the wild Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests. They were basically captured to work as slaves for the Qing Dynasty to cultivate land, grow food, hunt and fish.

Just like those scholars who never regarded themselves as the same kind of people as the peasants and considered themselves superior to others, and did not even regard the peasants and common people as human beings, the real Manchus did not regard the pseudo-Manchus and the living Manchus as their own people, and the nobles of Manchuria did not

Will treat Manchurian civilians as one of their own.

They are no longer the same kind of people. The gentlemen are no longer ordinary people. How can they care about the lives of these Manchu and Han civilians?

Everyone pays taxes, which shows that the Qing Dynasty treats all people equally, regardless of whether they are Manchu or Chinese.

And this caused not only the Han people to flee Liaodong one after another, but also the wild Jurchens who had been captured as tenant farmers and hunters in the deep mountains and old forests, and even many real Manchurian people, followed them.

In Liaodong right now, whether you are a real Manchurian, a born Manchurian, a pseudo-Manchurian, or a wild Manchuria, life cannot be said to be dire straits, it is a life worse than death. If you don't run away now, you really can't run away.

After Yuan Chonghuan of southern Liaoning got the news, he immediately reported it to the court, hoping to accept these exiled people to enrich the population of southern Liaoning.

After all, southern Liaoning seems to be a huge area right now, with six towns plus one Anshan, and so many villages, but the population is very small, with only more than 200,000 people now. If these people from Liaodong are brought in, Liaodong can be greatly enriched.

The population in southern Liaoning has greatly increased the strength of southern Liaoning.

Zhang Haogu's instructions to Yuan Chonghuan's excerpts were: Yes, treat the fleeing people well, both Manchu and Han, as one.

In June of the ninth year of Tianqi alone, tens of thousands of people fled to southern Liaoning.

Then in July, August, and September of the ninth year of Tianqi, a steady stream of people fled to Liaonan. After these people arrived in Liaonan, Yuan Chonghuan also implemented Zhang Haogu's policy, whether they were Manchus or Jurchens.

, Han people, or barbarians, as long as they come and are registered as citizens of the Ming Dynasty, then we will give you a piece of land, where you can farm and support your family with peace of mind.

By the tenth month of the Apocalypse, large areas of land in Liaodong were already deserted, and the people fled one after another. The aristocratic officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to send troops to block the border checkpoints and strictly prohibit the people from leaving. At the same time, in order to maintain the population for farming and ensure enough food was handed over, they

On the one hand, it forces the people who are still here who are reluctant to leave to bear higher taxes; on the other hand, it also increases the intensity of catching savages from the deep mountains and forests.

This is also easy to understand. After all, your neighbors have run away. If you don't run away, then your neighbors' taxes will naturally be borne by you. And if the population is insufficient, it will be easier to catch Jurchens, Koreans, and Mongolians.

, catching Han people can always suffice the population.

Anyway, it will be enough to give Huang Taiji some good-looking data on paper.

After inquiring about this news from various sources in southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao couldn't stop laughing.

People are the foundation, and only those who have money have the basic wealth. If you only have land and no people to cultivate and work, what is the use?

"If those scholars in Manchu and Qing Dynasty continue to do this, Huang Taiji's Manchu Qing Dynasty will no longer be inhabited." Zhu Youxiao laughed very happily. No matter how you look at it, this Manchu Qing Dynasty looks like it will not last long.

The dog that came out to bite the Ming Dynasty will not be able to run around for long.

Zhang Haogu held the jade tablet and described his next plan to Zhu Youxiao with a smile: "Your Majesty, take a look."

"In just a few months, there have been hundreds of thousands of people who have fled to southern Liaoning. They are not only Hans and Manchus, but also Jurchens and savages."

"These virgins and barbarians were originally kidnapped by Huang Taiji and forced to become subjects. They are proficient in fishing and hunting, can walk on the ground in the mountains and forests, and are good at riding and shooting. If these people are well trained, they will be the second three thousand battalions of the Ming Dynasty.

ah."

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the three thousand Mongolian cavalry who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty from outside the Great Wall were organized into a unit by Emperor Yongle, named the Three Thousand Battalion. Since then, these three thousand battalions have become a very important part of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp and the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

assault troops, because they are all cavalry.

Nowadays, the three new battalions formed by the northern and southern capitals have few Mongolian cavalry to rely on, so the three thousand battalions have become cavalry with Han as the main force. This is why the third battalion of the capital needs to be trained.

Now that with these surrendered Jurchens and Manchus, the Ming Dynasty can completely form a new three thousand battalion in southern Liaoning, which will be used as the main cavalry in the future expedition to Liaodong.

Zhu Youxiao naturally agreed with Zhang Haogu's idea. He also knew that the Ming Dynasty was short of cavalry, but what really needed cavalry was not the capital, but the border. The capital could slowly train cavalry, but the border could not.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then let the cabinet send a decree to Yuan Chonghuan, asking Yuan Chonghuan to select young and strong people who are good at riding and archery from the fleeing Manchus, Han, and Jurchens, and organize a battalion to train in riding and archery."

After talking about the resettlement of the people who fled to southern Liaoning, Zhang Haogu brought up another roll of maps: "Your Majesty, take a look at this map."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened when he saw it: "Why is this map so big?!"

I looked left and right on the map, and then looked at the outline of the Ming Dynasty and couldn't help but said: "So, my Ming Dynasty is just this big on the map?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the map of all nations that I asked the Westerners to send. Although it is not very detailed, it is a rare map nowadays. Here are the Western countries, the Southeast Asian countries, and the countries around the Ming Dynasty.

.”

"This is Liaodong, this is Rakshasa Kingdom, this is Korea, this is Dongyi, this is Nanyang, this is Ryukyu, and this is Brunei"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the map with his eyes shining: "It turns out that the world is so big and there are so many places that do not belong to the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's interest, Zhang Haogu struck while the iron was hot and said:
Chapter completed!
