My Daming New Empire

He is also the person who most wants to catch Qiu Changqing, hoping to make up for his mistakes and regain Zhu Zhanji's favor.

Thank you for seeing people with lights, Waghuan, I spit you out, thank you for the reward of bamboo sticks

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Your Highness, Yishiha has arrived."

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyes from the information in his hand, pinched the base of his nose, and rested his brain.

As the commander of the first army, there are too many things to worry about.

Although most of the subordinates don't want Zhu Zhanji to finish things alone, they can't show their value.

Zhu Zhanji didn't want to be like Zhuge Liang, doing everything by himself, so that he was exhausted.

However, as a coach, you must understand the overall situation, which is the most basic requirement.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched from all over the country. Except for the fourth naval base in Guangdong, which does not need to deploy manpower, the other three naval branches must deploy more than 3 naval personnel to participate in the war.

In addition, from mountainous areas such as Guangdong and Fujian, ten guards with elite soldiers who are familiar with mountain warfare were transferred as the armed forces after landing.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to use only Daming's power.So I want Duoyan Sanwei, including the Jurchens in the Northeast, to participate in this war.

Yishiha is such a very suitable candidate. As the guard eunuch of Nuer Gandusi, he was born in Haixi, and he is a Jurchen himself.

He can speak both Jurchen language and Chinese; he is familiar with the customs and customs of the Northeast region, as well as the regulations of the Ming Dynasty.So when Zhu Di established the Nuergan Dusi and selected officials from the Nuergan area, he became the most suitable candidate.

Knowing that he returned to Beijing to return to his life, Zhu Zhanji sent Li Liang to call him over.

"Let him in."

In an instant, a smooth-faced eunuch who was over forty years old came in behind Li Liang. This person was not tall, but he was very strong, and he looked like a wall of flesh.

In the palace at this time, the eunuchs practiced martial arts very well.Zhu Di's seven eunuchs all began to practice martial arts from an early age, learning literary and martial arts, so they became a force to be reckoned with during the Jingnan battle.

This also means that at first glance, he is a martial artist, and the ordinary three or five people are probably not his opponents at all.

Like a stone roller, he fell to the ground at once. "Slave and servant are also sorry to see His Highness."

As an internal minister of the master, Zhu Zhanji had never met Yi Shiha before. Although Yi Shiha knew a little about the grandson's temperament, he did not dare to be sloppy when meeting him for the first time. , claiming to be a slave.

Zhu Zhanji got up and helped him stand up himself.Because he was a martial artist, he had a good impression of the eunuch who was practicing martial arts, and he couldn't help but squeeze his strong arm and said, "Eunuchs don't need to be too polite. Now that you are a sixth-rank eunuch, you don't have to be so humble."

Although Yishiha is a Jurchen, the Jurchen at this time is completely different from the Jurchen 200 years later.

Zhu Zhanji will not be prejudiced against him just because he is a Jurchen.Although most of the eunuchs in the imperial palace are Han Chinese, at least [-]% of them are from other races. Most of them were captured in the past and grew up in the palace after being castrated.

As aliens, they are more positive. Among the seven eunuchs, four are aliens, and they are even more loyal to the royal family.

Because in this era of the world, everyone has no concept of country and nation, or it is not so obvious.

Let Yishiha sit down on his lower head, and Zhu Zhanji said: "Since the ninth year of Yongle, you, as an imperial eunuch, went to Nuergandusi to promote the country's prestige and comfort all ethnic groups. Over the years, in the northern region, you You have made great contributions. In August of the tenth year of Yongle, 170 and eight Jurchen leaders from Qilimi and Nangjiar in Nuergan came to Beijing together to present tribute to the imperial court. These are all thanks to you."

"The ministers dare not boast as His Highness. As ministers, they should put state affairs first. Moreover, the ministers were born in Haixi, so naturally they also hope that their old family can bathe in the emperor's favor and live a good life."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "I read the information of the Northern Territory. Since the north of Liaodong, the guards under the jurisdiction of the Dusi have increased to 180 four guards and [-] thousand households in recent years. The Jurchen ethnic groups can occasionally Received a large amount of property and tools from the imperial court, and now the two sides are trading each other, Jurchen exchanged horses for iron and cattle, these have greatly improved their lives today, right?"

Yishiha nodded and said: "Jurchen is poor, life has gradually improved these years, and all ethnic groups are grateful to me, Daming."

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Then how many soldiers are there in the twenty thousand households of the Jurchen? How many troops can they send if they are truthfully sent out?"

Yishi was stunned for a moment, and seeing Zhu Zhanji's bright eyes, he reacted again, and said quickly: "The Jurchen are still the tribes who do not negotiate with each other, and rely on the sky to eat. But because of the difficult life, the folk customs are very forgiving. Powerful. The [-] thousand-household offices set up by the imperial court are soldiers in name, but in fact they only use this method to favor the various ethnic groups and let them return to their hearts. Therefore, these thousand-household offices do not actually have full-time soldiers."

Zhu Zhanji interrupted him by raising his hand and said, "I know all of this. If I recruit from Ming Dynasty, how many troops do you think we can recruit from the local area?"

Jurchen is actually just a collective name, and Nuer Gandusi at this time is huge.Jurisdiction starts from the Onan River (now Onon River) in the west, extends to the Waixing'an Mountains in the north, reaches the sea in the east, connects to the Tumen River in the south, and includes Sakhalin Island in the northeast.

The Mongolian, Jurchen, Jilimi, Kuyi (Kuwu), Daur and other ethnic groups in its territory live mostly on fishing and hunting.

The Ming Dynasty set up separate guards within its jurisdiction. The Ming government also appointed the leaders of various ethnic groups to manage each guard and gave them seals. They still respected their customs, unified their affiliation, and paid tribute from time to time.

In today's words, this is just an autonomous region, a special zone.

Although the people here submit to Daming, there are still many conflicts among them, and they often go to war with each other, and the jurisdiction of Daming is far from enough.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji actually wanted to recruit troops from the local area, Yi Shiha was a little embarrassed, but he still replied cautiously: "The barbarians are rude and disrespectful, and they survive by fighting. If there is no benefit, the ministers are afraid that there will be very few responders."

"What if there are enough benefits?"

Yi Shiha was refreshed, and said: "If you use money to lure you, the minister thinks that at least ten thousand soldiers can be recruited from the local area."

This figure was also within Zhu Zhanji's expectations. The area is vast and sparsely populated. According to the statistics of the Ming government, the local people of all ethnic groups did not exceed 50 people, and they were divided into at least 200 tribes.

Although it is said that everyone in the barbarians is a soldier, it is just a way of saying that it is impossible for any ethnic group to be a soldier.

Based on the total population of 50, if half of the women are removed, there will be less than 25 people left.Because of successive years of wars, there are now more boys and girls in all countries. In many tribes, the ratio of men to women can even reach one to two.

Of the remaining half, the elderly and children account for two-thirds, which means there are only about [-] young adults.

And it is impossible for these people to all go out to fight, even if they are facing a war of destroying the country, they must leave seeds, let alone just recruiting.

What's more, these people have to engage in production, herding, and leave troops to guard against the surrounding tribes.So being able to send 1 people is already an ideal state.

Zhu Zhanji said: "In this case, I want to appoint you as a special envoy to go to the northern region to recruit troops. At the same time, I will ask Zheng Heng to send [-] cavalry to help Nuer Gandu Division maintain local law and order. At the moment, Daming is responsible for protecting their tribe's safety."

Yishi Hage said: "Why did Your Highness do this? For the sake of more than ten thousand troops, thirty thousand cavalry were sent. The food and grass for these people, plus the goods for the Jurchens, isn't it worth the candle?"

Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "This is the price that has to be paid to make such a thing a system, a normal state. Only in this way can those alien races agree with my Ming Dynasty's rule more. "

This is just a superficial reason, but Zhu Zhanji's thinking is deeper and more evil.

The British invaded China also required the Indians to be at the front, or directly managed, and the Japanese invaded China even more so by organizing a large number of stick-stick troops.

If it is said that the British are still short of manpower, the Japanese army is completely using the stick army to do some evil things that they are inconvenient to do.

Daming's attack on Dongpu will definitely hurt them. Most of Dongpu's gold and silver mines have not been discovered yet, and Daming wants to occupy these areas.

It is easy to fight a war, but management in the future is a big problem.

Like the United States fought Iraq, the war lasted only a few months, but was dragged into the quagmire by Iraq after the war. Over the past ten years, countless military expenditures have been spent.

If Daming does not want to intensify conflicts with the people of Japan, there must be a thug who does bad things, a buffer class.

Using the wild and untrained Jurchen to manage the Dongying people is what Zhu Zhanji wants to use.Let the Jurchen do bad things, let the Ming people do the good,

In this way, the civil conflicts between Daming and Dongying would not be overly intensified, and in this way, the Dongying people would learn this method and contribute to the Ming Dynasty's conquest of other regions in the future.

There are not many other things in Japan, but there are many people, and they are well-organized and disciplined, so they are really rare candidates for the dog legs.
