The family gathering on August 16th was not pleasant. Xiao Qiuguan, who was in his infancy, naturally did not know that he had given his father a backup plan and still lived a carefree and happy life. After learning to "smile", he still smiled and acted cutely at his father from time to time. However, this did not make Zhu Cilang feel a little excited. It was not until the afternoon when he met Feng Bin, who returned to Beijing to work, that he felt better.

"Your Highness, the population of Liaodong Han people has tripled in the past six months, and it has reached 300,000." Feng Bin, as a Liaodong Nationality Specialist, had the title of inspector of the Grand Governor's Office.

"Now it is still mainly voluntary immigration. After the civil affairs system is established, the speed will be faster." Zhu Cixuan said with relief.

Under the military control system, population utilization rate has actually been greatly reduced.

From Zhou Yuji, we can see the difference between the perspective of soldiers thinking about problems and the perspective of civil affairs officials. Especially in the pastoral officials immersed in Confucian culture, they have their own beliefs and dogmas, bottom lines that cannot be broken and firm values, and pay more attention to human life.

However, this kind of emphasis on life is often regarded as cowardly by the ignorant. Under the law of the jungle, the cowardly will inevitably be attacked - even if his true strength is very strong. Therefore, Zhu Cilang took the army first, waited for the military and politics to stabilize the place, showed his sharpness and muscles, and made people put away their fangs and dared not be a beast. Then he sent pastoral officials to come over to calm the people and govern, raise the people, and create a world of order under the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, after the civil affairs system is connected, large-scale immigration in the entire village and even the entire county will become possible. There are not enough pastoral officials to organize transfers and receptions, and large-scale immigration is like no different from killing people. Zhu Cixuan was boycotted from top to bottom in Xi'an because he wanted to implement an immigration plan that took human life. Unfortunately, the people of Shaanxi escaped the disaster of the crown prince, and ultimately did not escape the sword of Li Chuang and the Qing Dynasty.

"Shandong and Lianghuai can still move several counties to the past." Zhu Cixuan said: "In this way, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people."

Feng Bin looked worried and said, "Your Highness, although Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, there is still not much arable land available. Especially after Shenyang, it was covered with wind and snow for more than half a year. It was said to be wasteland, but there was no way to reclaim it. Before Huoshi only thought that immigration to the border was the solution. When I went to the field, I realized that I had set up the Nuer Gandushi to conquer the various countries, which was a forced one."

Zhu Cilang nodded and smiled and said, "You can reflect on the actual situation, but it is really not in vain. But there is one thing you said wrong. Although the Ming Dynasty is big, no inch of land is unnecessary. You must not give up because of the wasteland in front of you. Do you know where our fierce turmeric oil comes from?"

"It is the oil refining produced in Shaanxi." Feng Bin replied.

Now everyone in the army knows that the most important thing is artillery, followed by hot air balloons. The hot air balloons are all about hot tincture oil. Moreover, for cold areas, rapid fire is also an advantage, so as long as you leave the city, almost everyone will bring a gourd of hot tincture oil.

"The convenience of this thing cannot be abandoned, but the whole country is only available in Yan'an, and there are few things to come out. This is really not a good thing." Zhu Cilang said: "There are two possibilities: this may be the only place in heaven and earth, otherwise it will be hidden underground and we can't find it now."

The hat of China's oil-poor country was not barely taken off until after the Red Dynasty. Oil exploration and well drilling was absolutely unaffordable for non-industrial countries. Zhu Cixuan was not from a geological background. Although he knew the approximate location of oil fields such as Daqing and Shengli, it was a fantasy to find them through simple and deep wells.

Fortunately, for the Ming Dynasty, the output of Yan'an oil wells was enough, and it didn't make much sense to spend more effort to dig oil.

"There is such oil, coal, iron, gold and silver," Zhu Cixuan said: "We are not enough to excavate many underground treasures. If we abandon them because the surface is deserted and cannot bear to plant, wouldn't we missed so many god-given things?"

Feng Bin suddenly realized and said, "The humble and short-sighted. Your Highness's words are thought-provoking."

"You didn't do civil affairs, so you ignored it." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "You know Wanquan County. The black gold and stone they mine now are very intimate. The stone was originally a waste in the eyes of locals, but now it is a treasure for building roads and houses. So today's wasteland may be a treasure land in the future."

"But the people are not enough to be self-sufficiency, what should I do?" Feng Bin said worriedly.

"One is to reclaim on site, and the other is to support the court." Zhu Cilang said: "The Liaodong side must at least restore the entire territory of Nuergandusi. If the land in the extreme north is not suitable for farming, then transport grain. Even if someone goes around the forest every day or collects temperature readings, they must be raised there."

There are Tushi and people, and the other way around is the same.

Nowadays, many parts of the world are "borless" places. If they are not included in the effective administrative management system as soon as possible, they will have to spend more effort to retake it when they encounter others stealing their assets in the future. Especially in the north of the Ming Dynasty, there was a thief. Tsarist Russia, which was a thief in the north of the Ming Dynasty, has now entered the rule of the second Tsar of the Romanov dynasty.

For the Ming Dynasty, the young Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who ascended the throne in 1645 of the Jeremy calendar in the 18th year of Chongzhen and became the 1645th year of the Jeremy calendar, was not a "good" Tsarist. It was under his rule that Tsarist Russia annexed Ukraine and stabilized the domestic political situation, laying the foundation for the hegemony of his son Peter I.

Zhu Cixuan didn't know when Tsarist Russia invaded Siberia, but since he was in charge of the Ming Empire, he would never allow the treasure house containing oil, natural gas, various metals and non-metal minerals to fall into the hands of the Russians.

Liaodong is just a starting point.

Feng Bin came out of Wenhua Hall, walked slowly while sorting out the conversation with the crown prince just now. After summarizing it up, he found that the crown prince's intention was very clear: as long as it was land, it was from the Ming Dynasty. This pioneering spirit was simply beyond the emperors of all dynasties, and he was close to Emperor Chengzu who attacked the north of the desert for five times.

After meeting Feng Bin, Zhu Cixuan also boarded the carriage and went to the Grand Governor's Office outside the Meridian Gate to attend the first discussion meeting on the retirement treatment of veterans.

Since the establishment of the Eastern Palace Guard Camp in the 16th year of Chongzhen, 30% of the old guards have died in the battlefield, and 20% of the people have transferred to the local area in advance due to injuries and illness. Among the remaining 50% of the guards, most of them have become the backbone officers today, and most of the rest have served in non-commissioned positions at all levels, and only a few dozen people have retired.

However, being able to complete the five-year service period in troubled times is ultimately a remarkable event, and their treatment after retirement will be a very favorable issue for active-duty soldiers. No one wants to end up being lonely and poor after working for the crown prince.

Any old guards who served as officers and non-commissioned officers in the army were unwilling to leave the barracks. The reason why these dozens of people failed to become military officers is ultimately because they really couldn't learn and could not pass the cultural assessment. In this way, it would be difficult for them to serve as local county lieutenants, police chiefs and other functional officers. However, as instructors in the village, they seem to be not respectful enough.

After several discussions, the Grand Governor's Office analyzed that the number of retired personnel in the future will increase exponentially. The final decision was: retired soldiers for 16 years and were awarded the title of magistrate. If they wanted to return to their hometown, they would give them 100 acres of land, and the welfare of the garrison was retained, and they would serve as a local instructor. If they were willing to stay in their headquarters, they would mainly be Liaodong, southern Fujian, Taiwan, and northern Selangor. In their previous treatment, they could serve as county lieutenant, police chief, etc.

Zhu Cixuan attended the audience, did not express his opinion, and left quietly. The Grand Governor's Office was used to this kind of "delegation of power" and was more cautious in making decisions. Finally, the resolution of the meeting was transferred to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War formed a question book, the cabinet vote was drafted, the emperor (the crown prince) approved the reward, and the Six Corps reviewed and logged in, and the various troops followed and implemented it.

When this document was transmitted to Liaodong, it was already October of the 21st year of Chongzhen.

After the rapid population expansion, Guangning, Ningyuan, Liangfangkou and Lushun all showed a prosperous and prosperous situation. Without launching a large-scale military operation for a whole year, Xiao Donglou decided to launch another major battle before the New Year, with the goal of regaining Liaoyang.

...

"Master, give me a detailed return. The Ming army alone had dozens of ships of supplies ashore every day at Liangfangkou." Song Hongye said to Dorgon carefully. He was still in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just like the leader of the Qing Dynasty's Jinyiwei.

It seems to be quite trustworthy, but Song Hongye knew that Dorgon had secretly established an unknown "East Factory". It was this "East Factory" who stared at him all day long. It was this "East Factory" who happened to bribe a traffic officer, tampered with the information he issued, and released multiple fake news.

It was also a blessing in disguise. The trafficman only knew that he was a high-ranking person in the Qing Dynasty. He did not know that it was Song Hongye, which allowed Song Hongye to be safe. However, in this case, Song Hongye activated the emergency line and sent out a lurking signal. He no longer sent back the message. He just stared at the rebellious trafficman, waiting for the "East Factory" behind him to reveal his fox tail.

Song Hongye's lurking was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Liaodong Second Army, as if he had walked into the dark forest all at once and could not see a trace of light on the opposite side. This was also because the Manchus were too crazy. All villages and villages were strictly guarded. Every Han man was under the surveillance of the bannermen, and even if he went out to hunt, he could not leave alone.

"They want to do something in winter?" Dorgon thought of the truth, but could not accept the truth.

The reason why it is unacceptable is that this news was simply fatal to the Qing Dynasty.

In winter, Liaodong is cold and the supply demand for people and horses is extremely high. Once the supply is insufficient, large areas of people and horses will die of starvation. Even if they live until the beginning of spring, they will not be able to survive the green and yellow moon.

However, now the Ming army relies on abundant logistics supply to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty, which was seriously injured in winter, which was a life-threatening man.
