Daming Military Empire

Chapter 595 Developing New Occupied Territories
Qiao Lie, the commander of the fifth capital of Xibo, was originally a hundred households under the left guard of Ningyuan in Liaodong Town. Since the fourth year of the apocalypse, he has followed Sun Chengzong to guard Liaodong, and then participated in the defense of Ningyuan, the counterattack of Liaodong, and Guanning City. In a series of battles such as bloody battles, Monan battles, and South Asian battles, he has accumulated military merits from the general banner to the thousand generals to the generals, and finally he was promoted to the guerrilla general of the Dingliao army, which is the major general and division commander in the new military rank system.

He has fought for Ming Dynasty for nearly [-] years. He has made great achievements in battle and worked hard. He was originally expected to be promoted to a general, but he was injured many times in previous battles, and his health was not very good. , the energy is not enough, and he can no longer adapt to the high-intensity military life, so he has been resigning from Qin Gongming since a few years ago, asking to return to his hometown.

Qin Gongming didn't quite agree at the beginning, because such an experienced general is really hard to come by, and besides, he didn't find any suitable position for him to fill, so that a general with great military exploits would be so sadly hidden. Withdrew, he was really sorry.

It just so happened that this large relocation of the guards was also a major adjustment of the structure of the guards, leaving a lot of vacancies for commanders, and the Dingliao army happened to escort the prisoners back to the capital. Qin Gongming had the cheek to beg the emperor once, asking the emperor to give Qiao Lie is a commander-in-chief.

His elder brother finally begged him once, and it was for a veteran general with great military exploits, so Zhu Cijiong naturally agreed without hesitation.

This commander is not a low-level position. In terms of rank, he is already a general of the second rank. Although the official position of the guard is not as powerful as a civilian official, and it is not as solid as a regular army, but he is a second rank anyway. The competition is still considerable. intense.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easy for regular army generals to retire and be promoted to commanders. It is difficult for guerrilla generals. It is even more difficult for local generals to be promoted. The extra forty or so are all commanders The position of the envoy was finally determined after a long period of selection and competition.

However, after it was settled, Zhu Cijiong did not let them go to the post immediately. He had high hopes for the Siberian development. Whether so many rich resources can be rationally used to create benefits for Ming Dynasty depends on these. Made it.

At the same time, this large migration of the guards is also a very important attempt, an attempt to develop a newly occupied territory or a colony. In the future, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will definitely become larger and larger, and the occupied colonies will also be more and more. , How to develop it has become a key issue. If you just lay it down without developing it, it will be a waste of time and money, and the gain outweighs the loss.

For this reason, Zhu Cijiong specially summoned all the newly transferred commanders to the capital for a systematic training.

He dragged the heads of various ministries and even the heads of the Daming Royal Firm to the podium, and gave these commanders lessons for nearly half a month, allowing them to learn the relevant knowledge of territorial development.

For example, Cheng Guoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Luo Yangxing, head of Daming Royal Nikko Bank, talked about how to manage money, how to manage money, and how to make money make money;

Another example is Bi Maokang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Sun Zhihang, head of the Daming Royal Machinery Group, talking about how to mine, how to produce, and how to use new machinery;

Another example is Zhang Cai, the Minister of Commerce, and Xu Erjue, the person in charge of Daming Xinglong Company, talking about how to make money, how to do business, and how to cultivate the market;

Zhang Pu, Minister of Transportation, Wu Jianye, Minister of Communications, Huang Daozhou, Minister of Education, etc., all took the stage to teach.

In short, as long as it is related to the development of Siberia, someone will explain it in detail. Qiao Lie and all the new commanders are full of development experience.

As a battle-tested veteran, if he is allowed to lead troops on the battlefield to kill the enemy, there will be no problem at all, even if he brings a group of guards up, he is not in vain, but if he is asked to take the lead in development, he will have no problem at all. There is no bottom line, this is to use the Tunwei to develop the newly occupied territory, not to mention him, even in the whole of Ming Dynasty, no one dares to say that he has experience, so he was very hypocritical at the beginning, for fear that he would take the development Things are messed up.

Fortunately, as soon as he arrived, he received good news. Several thousand households under the Fifth Capital had discovered mineral deposits, especially the [-]st thousand households discovered a large open-pit coal mine!

Now, the income of the fifth capital immediately increased, and everything was easy to do when he had money. He finally had confidence in the development of his jurisdiction.

At the end of the afternoon, Qiao Lie arrived at the meeting place on time. At this time, there were already about [-] people sitting inside. There is a long conference table, and all the participants sit on both sides. I don't know how long the line will be, and I don't know how big the conference room will be.

Therefore, the seats in this conference room are divided into two floors. There is a long conference table in the middle, and about ten people can sit on both sides.

Then a row of smaller long tables were placed on the left and right sides and a few steps behind the main seat, with ten seats on the left and right, and five seats on the opposite side. These are for the thousands of households below to sit.

Due to the number of trains, the relocation of Tunwei has not been completed at this time. The guards under the Fifth Capital Division have only reached three thousand households, and two have not been relocated, so the 25 seats in the back row are not full. , there are still ten vacancies.

The front row was also not full, because the scale of the Du Commanding Division had been reduced, and the number of Du Commanding Tongzhi and Du Commanding Shishi had also been reduced. It turned out that each Du Commanding Division had two Du Commanding Tongzhi, four Both are in charge of the affairs, now one is in charge of the Tongzhi, two are in charge of the affairs, plus the five commanders of the guards, there are only eight people in total.

Before the time came, with the sound of "All commanders and envoys have arrived", all the people present stood up, straightened their chests and retracted their stomachs, kept their eyes straight, and were neat and tidy.

Qiao Lie walked to the main seat, glanced around, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Well, everyone, please sit down."

After all, he sat down first, and the others followed suit with a "swish".

He has thought about how to start this meeting for a long time, and he has even thought about the opening remarks. When everyone is seated, he whispers softly and said loudly: "Everyone should know that the main reason for the imperial court to send us here is to develop In the Siberian Khanate, Tunwei has had an additional function since then, which is to develop the newly occupied territory. From now on, we can't just focus on guarding a few acres of land, raising our children, and letting them serve as soldiers. Yes. After all, these territories were conquered by our relatives with blood and blood. We must consider how to develop the jurisdiction, how to make money, and how to make the newly occupied territory generate profits for the court. This is the meaning of the Ministry of War, and it is the Emperor's mean."
