Lord of Ming Dynasty

So Zhang Qiang transferred Brother Zhu back from the front line, and then set up a staff department facing Shaanxi and Gansu.

Chapter 586 Pingding Yunguizhou

The countryside surrounds the city, no, the periphery surrounds the core.

Occupy the most prosperous southern side, and then extend to the surrounding areas, occupying the seemingly barren land around in ancient times, and then organize manpower to develop vigorously. The number of people used to open up wasteland is enough to expand the Han people or dynasties that the previous kings did. The sum of the emperors of living space is more.

Millions of captives and hundreds of thousands of dead prisoners in hard labor camps made the seemingly barren lands of the past kings on the territory of the Huaxia Army ruled by Zhang Qiang full of vitality. There is a village of at least 3000 people in ten miles, and there are one or two militiamen patrolling on donkeys. Every hundred miles, there is a town of [-] to [-] people, which is used to provide various services for the hundreds of small villages around it. material guarantee.

Foreign food, groceries, drinks, and even books, pens, inks, papers, weapons, and armors are all available.

When these villages opened up wasteland and exceeded the food output consumed by their number, new populations came. At the beginning, a dozen people were assigned here, most of whom were retired militiamen and soldiers from the garrison battalion, with one or two in between. A retired officer from the Field Brigade or Guards Brigade, they came here to take over the power of the original village head here, and continue to lead everyone to expand the living space and open up wasteland.

The wasteland was opened up a lot, and then dozens of people poured in. These people are well-behaved captives. Although they still have a few years or at least a year before they can be released, this is not a problem. The Huaxia Army directly pardoned them, on the condition that To farm, until they are released after serving their sentence, they can choose to leave and have other options.

These people not only farmed the land, but also took on the responsibility of opening roads. They were led by retired military officers to open roads to the next village and further away. Until the road is repaired to the mouth of the next village.

In addition, these people are all soldiers who fought in the war. They were incorporated into the militia team of the village together with the retired militiamen and field brigade officers. People, or to deal with the people and civilians of the original land who were hostile to foreign invaders who violated their territory, the chieftains.

With the implementation of this method, more and more immigrants and people have entered those lands that have never been developed, such as Qiongzhou Island, Annan, Laos, Myanmar and other places, and even Yunnan and Guizhou where a large number of people fled due to war .

Zhang Qiang’s first wave of immigrants did not flood into various places all at once. They were all concentrated in the major towns and county towns along the army’s occupation route, and then scattered out one after another. It was in this way that they were dispersed. .

Otherwise, how could so many materials be transported from the distant Huaxia center to the barren mountains.

The best place to fiddle with should be Yunnan Guizhou, because there were many camps and villages of chieftains here, which were also the original territory of Ming Dynasty. After people, or most of the young and strong were dragged into the battlefield by the chieftains, there were only old, weak, women, and children left here.

As Feng Wuyu's soldiers became more and more prosperous, and the remaining chieftain tribes without men were young and strong, the ethnic minority tribes quickly gave up resistance, were changed their living places, were driven down from the mountains, and then resettled in a centralized manner. After that, they were massacred The people who immigrated from other places were surrounded and wiped out among these Han people who spoke various dialects, and then they were repeatedly educated by soldiers, scholars and scholars who spoke various dialects and Mandarin, and finally had to leave their own Clans, scattered in countless small villages, live together with the Han people they have always hated.

Here, Zhang Qiang made full use of the large-scale production and big-pot rice model of the later generations, concentrated education and brainwashing these people, and finally formed a farm-style village, earning centimeters for daily necessities, free schooling for children, centralized management, and centralized education.

Facts have proved that this is the fastest way to transform a generation, and it is the best method that has been proved by later generations. At that time, people were extremely happy in spirit, dedicated to the party, followed the party, and sacrificed their families for the sake of everyone.

Of course, this mode also makes the production efficiency extremely low, because if everyone is average, there is no room for creativity and improvement.

But for the people who have been devastated by the war and yearn for stability, this is the greatest happiness. Here, everyone can work happily, without exploitation by landlords, or harassment by soldiers and bandits crossing the border like locusts. They are very poor, but they eat the same food every day, and they have the same food, uniform clothing, no tax, everyone works for the collective, those who are able work more, and those who are able get more.

After several months of panic, everyone has adapted to this kind of life.

And the excess materials they produce are pulled out to subsidize the people in other places who have just entered this model, which greatly reduces the material demand, deployment and transportation of the Chinese military center and developed regions to subsidize these backward regions. Heavy work.

So in the spring of 1662, when Yunnan-Guizhou was liberated, Yunnan-Guizhou took the lead in getting rid of its dependence on the Chinese military center, and embarked on a path to support itself.

At this time, the population of Yunnan and Guizhou had reached 200 million, and most of them were immigrants. The original 800 million people left by Wu Sangui had been dispersed to the newly liberated Henan Province.

However, after some data analysis by the cabinet, Zhang Qiang suddenly found that if this model is used to feed 200 million people, the people in places like Yunnan and Guizhou will always remain at this level of extreme poverty. For a mountainous, barren country place, this is an error.

Therefore, on the basis of retaining some officials and soldiers, those captives in Yunnan and Guizhou who have reached the release period are required to voluntarily sign up to return to their hometowns. Live on the territory of the Huaxia Army.

Among the people, those who have seen the world from other states or were originally landlords, powerful family members signed up one after another. After two months, such people reached a million, so the population flowed again, and millions of people returned. In various states, where they lived a better life than Yunnan and Guizhou, they also returned to their hometowns. Although these places were actually changed beyond recognition because of Zhang Qiang's policy of disrupting and dispersing the population, after all, they returned to their hometowns. hometown.

For those who actively wanted to contribute resources to the Huaxia Army to open up a more desolate Southeast Asia, Zhang Qiang also satisfied their wishes, so another 50 people were diverted to the places that the armies of the three countries in Southeast Asia had conquered after seven or eight months. Yes, where to increase the population base.

After transferring 50 soldiers from the garrison battalion to various places, Zhang Qiang transferred another [-] soldiers from the hard labor camp to the three most difficult countries in Southeast Asia, where they will continue to live their hard lives until they die. life.

This includes the tens of thousands of foreigners who were captured by the Thai-Western coalition forces when they helped the Nanming Kingdom fight the war.

These people plus the nearby pirates, Nanyang pirates, aborigines, Japanese, plus the Dutch, Portuguese, British, and Spaniards have a total of 10 people, but now they have died 4 to [-] people here.

Only a very small number of people became soldiers of the Huaxia Army, and a very small number of people suddenly realized that they joined the Huaxia Army and worked as translators, supervisors, and low-level porters in the prison camps in the Huaxia Army.

Chapter 587 Different Situations of Two People

The population burden was reduced, the soldiers of the garrison camp were stationed, and Feng Wuyu's army moved to Sishan Prefecture. Gao Zhixiang successfully became the garrison commander of Yungui Prefecture. His original position was the deputy garrison commander of Jiangxi Prefecture. This time, he was promoted and became the deputy general. , the garrison commander, he was promoted to a higher level, and he was very happy.

Because of the mountains in Yunnan and Guizhou, and because it was originally a place where chieftains were flooded, and because of Zhang Qiang's practice of big pot rice, it is really not suitable for the liberated states like Hubei and Lake Guangzhou. The army captured the backup logistics, material and army transfer bases in neighboring states.

After some work, Qian Bingdeng was also transferred back to the center to continue his work as Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although he also served as the governor of Yunnan-Guizhou Prefecture, he was not mainly in charge of the work of Yunnan-Guizhou Prefecture.

Yang Yangyang was in charge of the work in Yunnan-Guizhou. He became the prefect of a large prefecture in Yunnan-Guizhou and concurrently acted as acting governor. Gao Zhixiang and his partner became the highest officials in Yunnan-Guizhou.

The support of Feng Wuyu's army became the work of Hubei Prefecture and Yunnan Prefecture. These two states were and are currently undertaking the logistical support work of the army.

After the reduction of the population burden in Yunnan and Guizhou, the total population has dropped to more than 980 million. In addition, the newly formed militia and the 1000 officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion are less than [-] million. For its current productivity level, it is just enough. More and less.

Then the newly arrived officials dispatched from nearly [-] places will continue to continue this production method while familiarizing themselves with the work here. According to Zhang Qiang's plan, this method will continue for five years and change the living habits of the people here. , the habit of thought, and then liberate it and return to the same mode of life as in other states, business, material flow and other states.

As this model proved to be useful, Zhang Qiang ordered it to be implemented in northern Vietnam. At this time, northern Vietnam has been completely liberated, and the indigenous people have been completely cleaned up. The original so-called Han people are gone. They either went to Hades or fled to the south , or farther away in India, Thailand, or entered the Chinese Army's prison camps, hard labor camps, were sent to the Chinese Army's inland, and sent to similar farms for transformation.

Zhang Qiang has achieved his goal, transforming those Southeast Asian natives physically, spiritually, culturally, and geographically, so that they can completely become Han Chinese, a part of the Chinese Empire, not an enemy, and troubles for China in the future The manufacturers, a group of white-eyed wolves, a group of vampires, rely on China all day economically, but think about harming China all day long, taking more things from China, just like the internal affairs of a family in China for hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand years Just like sibling disputes, they always calculate their own brothers, benefactors, and fathers, not to mention going outside to earn money to report to the family, to the parents who used to support them, and to the brothers and sisters who used to support them like their parents.

With the implementation of the farm and big pot meal model in these places, Zhang Huangyan's work has achieved certain results in ideological, spiritual, geographical, and territorial occupation of the enemy's land, making his position in the Huaxia Army more stable.

But with a courtier with outstanding abilities like Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Qiang's own work has become less and less.

Most of the time, he just reads the materials, browses the memorials, and then discusses civil affairs and military affairs with Zhou Porridge and Wei Wuji, and then returns to the back of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to meet with Zhu Panpan, who has been working for a day, and Kong Zhousi, who is also very tired in managing the House of Internal Affairs. Go flirting.

Lived the life of an emperor.

He can do this, but the little Emperor Shunzhi sitting in the Yanjing Palace obviously does not have such a leisurely mood, nor does he have the ability and talent of Zhang Qiang, a future traveler. Maybe Zhang Qiang understands things are very vague and general, but he said, like Zhang Huangyan , Zhu Dadian, Zhu Yujian, You Haibo, Zhou Porridge, Wei Wuji, etc., who can stand alone, will immediately substitute his thinking and thinking into their thinking, into the thinking of this era, and come up with corresponding methods suitable for this era, Going to solve it, and the problem solved, in Zhang Qiang's hindsight, is not far from the level he thinks this era should reach, which is very good.

But Emperor Shunzhi didn't have that ability. As the emperor of this era, everything about him needs to be reported by ministers outside. From these reports, he chooses the best, or the most suitable for his teacher, the method or mode of doing things that suits the interests of people around him. To issue orders and let the courtiers carry them out.

However, what the courtiers implemented was different from what he thought, and he could not see the results, or what he saw and heard were the results that the courtiers hoped he could see and hear, so this The world became two worlds, the world in his imagination and the outside world.

This is also the reason why Hong Chengchou and his courtiers can live until now. Anhui Prefecture is lost, Henan Prefecture is lost, and only Shandong Prefecture near the sea can still contact Yanjing.

After Wu Sangui retreated into Shaanxi-Gansu, the Huaxia Army was busy solving Yungui Prefecture and did not pursue it, so Wu Sangui had no enemies in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture. His biggest enemy was Hauge, the Kingdom of Dajin, and through a series of struggles, he pushed aside Dajin The courtiers and military generals of the country, and cleaned up the generals of the Qing Dynasty who had retreated all the way from the south and had taken root in this place. He regained his foothold in Shaanxi-Gansu Prefecture and continued his life as a vassal king. He also catered to Qing's connection with him. While making trouble for the Dajin Kingdom, he also catered to the Dajin Kingdom. He just didn't want to fall to either side.

While Dajin was fighting with him, he continued to fight with Daqing in Hebei Prefecture, and it seemed that he had won many victories. Although Hong Chengchou's policy of division and disintegration had a certain impact, it did not finally end them. They still have the filial piety that Wu Sangui has to send even if he is unwilling, and a small amount of taxes, food, supplies, and supplies, because what Wu Sangui pursues is to maintain a delicate situation and then profit from it, and he can afford this loss. Now that the battle between the two sides has not yet come to an end, how can a person like Wu Sangui put all his eggs in one basket? There must always be an escape route, cunning fellow.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty really looked like it had come to an end. Many Manchus had realized that the Qing Dynasty had come to an end, so many Qing people began to think about returning to Liaodong, their white mountains and black waters.

The soldiers have no fighting spirit, the generals have no fighting spirit, and it is a mess. This is the situation Shunzhi has to face.

Compared with Zhang Qiang, who can be a hands-off shopkeeper, Shunzhi is like an ant on a hot pot, crawling around, but he doesn't know where the way out is. No one can point him out. He is still young, and he doesn't have Dorgon's vision and ability Consciousness, he only felt that after he became the emperor, this troublesome thing continued, and he never had to worry about it once.

So he thought of the poison that India used to disintegrate the Chinese nation 3000 years ago, Buddhism, peace, aloofness from the world, birth, leaving all troublesome things to others to solve, and going to cultivate immortals and worship Buddha by himself, etc. All problems are solved , I came back and declared to those people that it was his brilliance and martial arts that blessed them and allowed them to win, so you don't give any incense money, and you don't honor the land, food, women, temples, etc.?

This idea became stronger and stronger, and finally he passed the throne to Kangxi, who was still a baby, the future emperor, and became a monk.

Chapter 588 Kangxi is Here

When Zhang Qiang accidentally got the information that Emperor Shunzhi had returned to the mountains and shaved his hair to become a monk, he couldn't help but smile. It seems that no matter how powerful he is as a traveler, history has become like a game, but it has also changed. History, history still has his natural inertia. According to legend, Shunzhi became a monk at the age of 24, and many people don't know where he went when he fell to the ground. After Kangxi, he went to Mount Wutai five times to find his father, but he couldn't find him. How about it, Kangxi, the eternal emperor in history, finally stepped onto the stage of history.

Are you going to fight this eternal emperor?

It's a joke, he is just a doll of a few years old now, although he is in the emperor's house, all kinds of scheming and mentality are relatively mature, and he has a sense of mission and superiority of the emperor, but why is a doll fighting against himself?
