Chapter 1809 Along the road twenty years ago - Kanto
Yun stayed in Shanhaiguan for a few more days, and King Zhu Song of England and King Zhu Yun of Yong, who were sealed in Guandong, came to visit him.
"Why did you come today?" Yun did not let them bow, but asked after they stood up.
"Guan family, this is all because of me." Zhu Song said: "The fiefdoms of me and Yun are already bordering each other. Yun came to Changchun by land and was about to rush to Shanhaiguan with me. But at this time, there was a rebellion from the Jurchen tribe.
I personally arranged for the soldiers to put down the rebellion, and it was already too late."
"Why should you call yourself a minister to your nephew? It's not good for people to hear it. Since there is a rebellion, it's too late. The suppression of the rebellion cannot be delayed. But if nothing happens in the future, it can't be too late to meet in court." Yun said a few words and asked.
He asked: "Where is Changchun?"
"Guan Jia, Changchun is my newly established capital. Kaiyuan is the boundary of Liaodong Dusi. As more and more places are occupied to the north, Kaiyuan's location becomes biased and is no longer suitable as the capital. So I
From the land we have occupied over the years, we chose a good and flat place and built a city as the capital. Therefore, there are many periwinkles growing on the land, and the meaning of Changchun is good, so we named it Changchun." Zhu Song said.
"The name is good." Yun said with a smile.
Seeing Yun burst out laughing, Zhu Song and Zhu Yun also relaxed. They were very nervous when Yun questioned them before, fearing that Yun would give them an order and move them to the Hanzhou continent. They have been running their own territory for nearly twenty years.
My life is very comfortable, but I don't want to go to Hanzhou Continent and start from scratch.
After the two of them relaxed, they started talking more. Zhu Song talked about his experience of pioneering in Guandong in the past nineteen years. "During the Hongwu period, some tribes in Guandong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, including Mongolians and Jurchens.
(Hongwu) In the 28th year of Hongwu, Zhou Xing also led troops to Naowen River and suddenly attacked the Wenhe and Aoduolian areas. However, these tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty just because they did not want the court to think that they were hostile to the Ming Dynasty and not to be
The Ming Dynasty only attacked, but did not surrender sincerely. I came to Kaiyuan to seal the throne, but they did not obey my orders at all."
"In order to make them completely surrender, I had to fight and pull them, eliminate the tribes that were determined not to surrender, win over the people who were close to the Ming Dynasty in the wavering tribes,..., and finally occupied the current land."
Having said this, he took out a map. "Now I have complete control over two large areas. One is from Changchun to the east to the vicinity of Huerhai River. I changed the name of Huerhai River to Mudanjiang. In Mudanjiang
A city was built in the middle reaches and named Mudanjiang City."
"The second is the area around Naowenjiang, Hucicwenhe and Aduolian. I also changed the names of these places. Naowenjiang was renamed Nenjiang, Hucicwenhe was renamed Hulan River, Aduolian was renamed Yilan, and Yilan City was built
The river near Yilan City was named Songhua River. Yichun City was built next to a tributary in the north of Songhua River, and Fusimu City was built in the upper reaches of Songhua River as the northernmost and easternmost jurisdiction. Fusimu is the local area.
The name of a tribe that had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period. After I conquered this tribe, I named the city after the tribe."
"Other places, such as the Jurchens in Jianzhou near Changbai Mountain, the tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin and the west of the Nenjiang River are only superficially surrendered. They pay me food every year and send troops to help when I go on an expedition. It's not that I don't want to completely conquer these tribes, it's just that I can't conquer them.
Already."
"When I was entrusted, I brought more than 30,000 soldiers to Guandong. Later, I gradually exiled some criminals and selected strong men from them. I gathered 50,000 Han soldiers. I mixed them with the surrendered local barbarians and had 100,000 troops.
One hundred thousand horses looks like a lot, but from Kaiyuan to Yichun, from Nenjiang to Fusimu, it is already larger than the entire Zhili plus Zhejiang. There are many mountains and forests in the area, and half of the one hundred thousand horses are
The land reclamation troops who are plowing and fighting are already stretched thin, and it is difficult to attack other places."
"And occupying more land is of little use. There are only so many Han people and surrendered barbarians, and the current land cannot be cultivated. It would be a waste to occupy it. It is better to let the tribes pay some money and food every year." Zhu Song said.
After hearing Zhu Song's words, Yun didn't say anything, but looked at Zhu Yun. He smiled and said: "Yun, it has been eighteen years since you were granted the title, only one year later than Uncle Twenty, who occupied such a large area of land.
, the amount you occupy will not be small. Uncle Twenty did not mention the barbarians east of Fusimu just now. These places have already been occupied by you."
"Brother Huang is right." Yun Ye replied with a smile: "Brother Huang, the east of Fusimu has been occupied by my brother." He pointed at the map and said: "My brother is two hundred and sixty miles east of Mudanjiang.
Suifenhe City was built, Qitaihe City was built 300 miles southeast of Yilan, and Foti City was built 200 miles east of Fusimu, on the lower reaches of the Songhua River. Foti City was also the name of the tribe that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period.
."
"You don't have to call yourself brother, just call me me. So the land you currently control extends to Futi City, Qitaihe City, Suifenhe City in the west, and Heilongjiang in the north?" Yun asked.
"It's bigger than what the emperor said." Yun said with a smile: "My brother has built cities along the entire lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River basin. He has also built cities near the entrance of the Heilongjiang River, in coastal areas, and even on the northern Ainu land.
City. If you look at the map, the land controlled by my younger brother is larger than that of my twentieth uncle."
"But the land actually controlled is much smaller than that of Uncle Twenty." Yun added: "In addition to Yongming City in the south, Xingkai Lake in the north, Suifen River in the west, Qitai River in the northwest, and Heilongjiang,
, except for the plain sandwiched between the Ussuri River, the rest of the land is only under my brother’s actual control near the river, but not further away.”
"As for the reason for this, it is also because the population owned by my younger brother is too small. There are fewer Han people in Yongfan than in Yingfan, and they cannot fill such a large land. Brother Emperor, my younger brother is requesting Brother Emperor to exile prisoners in the future. How many
Exile a few to Yongfan." Yun finally said.
"The officials and I also request the officials to exile a few more Han people to the British vassal." Zhu Song also said.
Yun didn't say anything right away, but looked at the map. 'According to what Zhu Song and Yun just said, the most elite places in the entire Guandong, which are also the most populous and highly developed places in later generations, are the Songnen Plain, the Far East Coastal Territory, and the Central Heilongjiang Province.
The lower reaches have been occupied by the two of them. As for other places, they may be rich in resources, but they will still be vast and sparsely populated six hundred years later. The Ming Dynasty now has no shortage of resources. More importantly, Kanto does not have to worry about other countries taking over.
Let them make good use of the land they already occupy first, and don't have to rush to occupy other places.' Yun thought.
Confirming this idea, Yun said with a smile: "You have taken over the essence of Guandong, what else is there to be dissatisfied about? As for the lands that have not yet been occupied and are still controlled by the tribes, let the tribes take over."
"Brother Emperor, Guandong is a very fertile land. According to the exploration of the exploration team we sent, the entire Guandong is at least the combined area of Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and other provinces, and it is mostly plain.
There are few mountains and the land is very fertile. If it is developed, it can accommodate tens of millions of people. Brother Huang cannot just ignore it." Yun said anxiously.
Yun did not point out the error in his words, but said: "I know that the Kanto area is vast, rich in products, and the land is fertile, and can accommodate a large population. The question is, how can I increase the population of your two vassals? The Western Region needs people,
Hanzhou needs people, Nanyang needs people, and even India, Bangladesh and Madagascar need people. So many places need Han people, where can I conjure people for you?"
"Why is Guandong ranked behind?" Yun said.
"Because Kanto doesn't have to worry about other countries competing for it." Yun gave the real reason. "The Western Region is close to Tianfang, not far from Zhuofu. The pressure is huge and many Han people are needed to stabilize the vassal state; there are many native people in Hanzhou,
Although they already consider themselves Han people, they are not real Han people after all, and more Central Atomic people are needed to go to Hanzhou; although Nanyang does not have a powerful country that can compete with the Ming Dynasty, there are more native people than in Kanto, and the Han people need to be spread as soon as possible.
If we want to fill all these countries, we can only put Kantong at the back."
"I understand." Zhu Song and Zhu Yun could only say in frustration.
"I told you not to call yourself a minister." Yun added, "But I won't completely ignore Guandong."
He pointed at the map and drew a line with his fingernail along the Shanhaiguan Liaoxi Corridor, Shenyang Zhongwei City, Kaiyuan Changchun and other places to Yongming City, and said: "I plan to build a track along this line. With this track,
It can connect the two feudal lords of Yingyong with North China and encourage more Han people to come to Kanto spontaneously."
"There are not many things that tramcars can transport, and the transportation capacity is limited." Yun said. He has built a track from Yongming City to Hulin City along the Wusuli River in his fiefdom, but the transportation capacity is far less than that of river transportation.
"It's better than not having any rails at all. And soon, rails will be able to transport more things. Even if it's still not as good as river transportation, it's not far behind, and the speed is much faster." Yun said.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Song and Yun looked at each other, not quite believing it.
"Seeing is believing, and hearing is believing. If you follow me back to Beijing and see for yourself, you will understand." Yun didn't say anything more, just said this.
"Then my younger brother will return to the capital with his twentieth uncle and the emperor's brother." Yun agreed.
After saying this, Yun had nothing serious to say to their uncle and nephew, and they chatted casually for a while. It was already noon. Zhu Song and Zhu Yun walked to the dining hall first, while Yun and Wen Yuan, who was just beside them, fell behind. See you.
Already a few steps away from his great-uncle, Wenyuan whispered: "Dad, listening to what I just said, dad has given up on the plan to abolish the Yingyong Second Domain within fifty years?"
