Nurhachi and his entourage drove cattle and sheep through Kaiyuan, along the east bank of the Liao River into the mountains and all the way back. Before they reached the narrowest point of the Liao River, Nurhachi raised his telescope and looked southwest.
What comes into view is the strange-shaped city wall in the distance at the three-way intersection. If you want to go southeast to Fushun, you will have to take risks.
The east side of the city wall was only two or three miles away from the hillside. The Ming army's artillery could hit the foot of the mountain. The cattle and sheep might be frightened and run into the mountain. The bannermen might be injured or killed. Nurhaci could only give up his plan to break through.
The old slave looked at the Tieling Plain in the southwest and sighed. In his lifetime, he had only opened a plain that he had not yet actually occupied.
Kaiyuan in the northeast, Tieling in front, Shenyang 200 miles southwest of Tieling, Liaoyang 200 miles southwest of Shenyang, Haicheng 240 miles southwest of Liaoyang, Haicheng 160 miles southwest Gaizhou. This is a thousand-mile-long straight line, which is also the dividing line between the Liaodong plain and the mountainous area.
The land in the plain area is fertile and the fields are thousands of miles away. Not to mention that Houjin has a population of less than one million, even tens of millions of people can be supported. His goal in life is to conquer the entire Liaodong Peninsula and compete with the Ming Dynasty.
However, God has not been kind to us, and these years have become colder and drier year by year. The mountainous areas, which used to rely on the ravines and forks of the mountainous areas for food and clothing, have experienced food shortages in recent years.
Ordinarily, since there are so many donkeys, horses, cattle and sheep in Houjin, there must be a lot of fertilizer. The excrement accumulated in a single night should be enough for each family to plant dozens of acres of land, so they should have a good harvest every year and have a rich grain storage, right?
However, the population of the former Jin Dynasty was mainly composed of fish, animal husbandry and hunting. For farming, they relied heavily on the Han people in Jianzhou, but they themselves were too lazy to suffer the hardships of farming. Even if they were fertilized, the grass could only grow due to their lazy character. However, the Han people were still able to do the wrapping. Otherwise, I would have known that I would have starved to death a long time ago.
The more this happened, the more Nurhachi wanted to occupy the plain area, because all the areas were Han Chinese.
In addition, he asked the old man to develop police uniforms and guards along the small canal as members, and keep abreast of the illegal activities of the officials, officials, and Cao Jun in the small canal, as well as the infiltration of the small canal by local forces.
I haven’t gone south for two months, and the Bohai Sea will freeze in about seventy days. I plan to go to Liaodong after the freeze. I will first take the small canal to Jining and then take the overland road to Denglai. I will take advantage of the earliest opportunity to hurry up. Set off.
Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai were horrified when they heard it, but they dared to ask.
The official circles on both sides of the Shandong Small Canal must be reorganized as soon as possible. Now that the rectification work has just been completed, after Saarhu went north, he first promoted several officials who were relatively outstanding after review and completed the work before retreating.
Fan Lidi decided that the number of official ships could exceed 80%, otherwise the development of the private economy would be restricted, and some of the remaining ships would join the original law enforcement fleet.
Now the official ships in the small canal account for 70%, and it will definitely be close to 70% if the merchant ships collected from the salt merchants are also taken into account.
Thinking of what he was unhappy about, the old slave let out a strange cry like a night owl.
In order to ensure the division of Xiaoming's small arteries, Saarhu still implements a dual-track system of control, that is, there is neither a water transport governor nor a water transport general soldier, and the small canals are still under military control.
Although he was very tired, his morale was low and he continued to mobilize for war, preparing for a small battle with the Ming army.
A small number of the original port managers and shipping supervisors need to be replaced and new blood drawn in. Of the 1,700 people brought in from Saarhu to help the Metropolitan Procuratorate review cases, not even a small part will stay in the small canal to work.
However, after occupying Kaiyuan Tieling for two years, one acre of land has been cultivated. Han people are needed to cultivate the land.
"We will take a detour from the west mountain valley back to Zhuyou school. The Zhenglan flag is on the side of the road for hunting, the Zhenghuang flag is in the middle for grazing and gathering, and the Zhengbai flag is for collecting while checking whether the cattle and sheep are lost."
When they arrived at Denglai, Fan Lidi and Yuan Keli and Shen Rong exchanged various matters for a day.
...
Nurhachi's laughter suddenly turned into a command:
Today's small canals are more important than the railways in the previous life. Railways did not have the restrictions of roads and water transportation. In the previous life, almost no country's railways were operated by private parties, because the lifeblood of the country must be controlled by private parties.
That time, Ben Khan told Xiong Manzi's Ming army not to go back before they left the city!
The Xiaoming Royal Shipping Chamber of Commerce was established, and Sarhu arranged for Xu Guangqi and Xiong Wencan to take charge of the planning work first, while Xiong Wencan took charge of the project and did the research first.
Cao troops guarded grain and commercial transportation under the Cao River. Cao troops and their generals rotated every eight years.
It took ten days from retreating into the mountain valley to returning to Zhuyou School. Because we walked in a small arc to avoid climbing up the mountain ravine, the distance was increased by less than half before we returned to Zhuyou School.
After mobilizing the Ming army, Horqin's 80,000 Mongolian cavalry suddenly attacked Shenyang from behind.
The small canal is a small artery of the country's economy. It is definitely controlled by the state and may subvert Xiao Ming's rule at any time.
Because Saarhu later decided that sea transportation would be dominated by the government and small canal transportation would be privately operated, there was no specific plan on how to organize it.
In previous lives, industries involving the lifeline of the country were all collectively managed. Unless Salhu used an agent to withdraw private investment, it would definitely be very safe in Xiao Ming's environment, and it would be overthrown even if it fell into the water.
Cargo terminals, inns, and restaurants within the port area are all required to be rented out, and rental fees are adjusted according to market conditions. All properties within the port area that have been collected must be auctioned off.
In order to delay transportation, we later recruited crew members on ships collected from salt merchants and transported a small amount of food and loot to Tianjin.
Shandong is in ruins. A few of the officials, guardsmen and officers far away from the small canal have nothing to do with the salt merchants and the White Lotus Sect. Many of them also participated in the rebellion. Sarhu plans to completely replace them.
After wiping out the main force of the Ming army, how long can the defenders of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Tieling hold out? Ben Khan let the Han people sing in the city at night, and Han Xin surrounded Xiang Yu's Chu army. Didn't he use the embarrassment on all sides to disintegrate the Chu army? He used the Seven-faced Han Song to disintegrate the Han army.
There are few grains, cattle, sheep, mules and horses in sight. In the past, marching was no longer done by foot, and the mobility was slightly weakened. The Ming army could collapse with just two legs. Does Xiong Manzi hate hide-and-seek? Then This time I dealt exclusively with them.
It turned out that the one hundred thousand water transport workers were too bloated and needed to lose weight. Half of them were assigned to work on water conservancy projects or national defense projects by the Ministry of Industry or the Military Ministry, and experienced technicians joined the Ministry of Industry.
Government-owned merchant ships operate on a contract basis, and are treated the same as private ships in terms of ship lock tax and other taxes.
Xiong Tingbi also consolidated the frontline supplies of Tieling Fortress and asked Zu Xiaoshou to defend the fortress and prepare enough food for two years. He also asked us to just hold on if we need to support Shenyang no matter what.
At that time, the proportion of official ships in the small canal decreased, and 40% of the transport ships were private ships.
After replacing the officials, we will immediately have to go back to "dividing a small person into an acre". The most important issue is the restructuring of the small canal. If the private operation is bad, it will change its taste first.
Prepare to let the sunken battalion retreat to Gaoli and prepare to reverse the situation in Gaoli.
