  Chapter 579 576 [Liaoning, Hebei and Shaanxi and Gansu]

  After the great war, it is the meritorious service.

  In addition to promoting and rewarding soldiers, caring for sacrificed martyrs, and conferring a large number of titles.

  Fei Chun, who was in charge of logistics and materials transportation, was named Baoguo Duke in Jin Dynasty.

  Fei Ruhe, who was in charge of the battle in Hebei, was named the Duke of Zhen in Jin Dynasty.

   Li Zheng, who was in charge of the battle in Liaodong, was granted the Duke of Xiangguo by Jin Dynasty.

  Pang Chunlai led the cabinet, worked hard and made great achievements, and was named Duke of Liao in Jin Dynasty.

  Li Banghua made great contributions in assisting the government and restored the title of Marquis of Jishui.

  Xu Ying made meritorious service in arranging meticulous work, and was granted the title of Marquis of Qianshan in Jin Dynasty.

  Lu Xiangsheng, who took the lead in opening up the Liaodong situation after a series of battles and victories, was awarded the title of Weining Bo.

  Wang courtier who wiped out Hauge's main force outside the Great Wall, was named Liao Bo.

   Zhang Tieniu, Fei Yinggong, Jiang Liang, Huang Shun, Jiang Dashan, Li Dingguo, Cao Bianjiao and others all received awards.

  Even Huang Yao, who cooperated with Fei Yinggong to recover Guizhou last year, although he did not participate in the northern battle this year, is still cleaning up and consolidating Guizhou and southern Sichuan. However, a reward was also granted, and the title was changed from Marquis of Chengdu to Marquis of Guizhou.

  Although they are all marquises and there is no distinction in rank, one word is definitely more prestigious than two words.

  The same is true for Zhang Tieniu. He did not make any great achievements in this battle, but he was able to guard Tianjin effectively. He was changed from Yizhouhou to Jihou.

   Li Dingguo got an earl, Cao Bianjiao got a viscount, anyway, they will fight in the future, and the title will gradually increase, who made them less senior.

  Wang Hui was brave and fearless in battle when he was in the Yellow River, and he was especially promoted to Bo Gangyi.

  Yang Zhenqing, who has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in Liaodong, was conferred the title of baron this time, but it is not a hereditary title.

  The titles of most other generals belong to hereditary decline. Three generations downgraded to one level, as long as they are not all short-lived ghosts, from dukes to commoners, it is enough for their descendants to be prosperous for two or three hundred years.

  Of course, apart from raising the upper limit of land and granting land at one time by the way, there is no special treatment for the title of the Datong court.

   This year, an inventory was also carried out in the south to redefine the land classification. Ueda, Nakata, and Shimoda cannot be changed to prevent the honorable class from taking advantage of troubled waters.

  Zhao Han gave more than forty titles at once, and finally stopped picking and searching.

  The duke granted four titles, which is really generous.

  Fei Ruhe is young after all, and can continue to fight. Whenever he becomes the king, he will be transferred back to Nanjing, and he will be a central military official in the Dudu Mansion honestly.

   "Your Majesty, please set up Liaodong Province." This is what Pang Chunlai was talking about.

  Li Banghua hesitated to speak, but because of Pang Chunlai's face, he wanted to object but did not say so.

  Zhao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Li Ge, please speak frankly."

Li Banghua said: "Northern Zhili and Liaodong have been severely damaged by the Tartars. Natural disasters and wars have subsided for many years. I feel that it is too early to establish a province. You can set up administrative officials, but they are temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of Shandong. Shaanxi is also In this way, but Shaanxi is connected with Gansu, and Shaanxi and Gansu can be regarded as one province."

"allow!"

Zhao Han had thought about this for a long time, and said: "When the population of Beizhili and Liaodong returns to one million, they will set up provinces. At that time, Beizhili will be changed to Hebei Province, and Liaodong will be changed to Liaoning Province. .Shaanxi and Gansu will also separate after the population recovers.”

  This is a policy based on reality. The population is too small to set up provinces, and the finances have to provide a whole set of teams. It is really unnecessary.

  As for Gansu and Ningxia, these places were under the jurisdiction of the military department of Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty.

  After Tian Younian became an official, Song Yingxing had already entered the cabinet as Prime Minister. He suggested: "We should speed up the immigration to the north, and the newly expanded land must be populated, otherwise the frontier will be unstable."

Li Banghua said: "Although the southern provinces have a large population, they cannot withstand the years of immigration. What's more, the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang are still immigrating to Taiwan, Qiongzhou, and Luzon. These large-scale immigrations not only cost the court money and food, but also Let the southern provinces be short-populated."

  Zhao Han said: "The shortage of population in the south is not so great, but it is indeed not as much as before."

"Procreation can be encouraged," Pang Chunlai said. "First, unmarried men at 20 and women at 18 will be subject to an additional tax; You can get five taels of silver if you report for registration."

Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Men and women marry on a voluntary basis, and they are not restricted. After reaching the age of twelve, they can be rewarded with a tael of silver. This can not only stimulate childbearing, but also allow the people to take the initiative. Register household registration for your children. Twenty years is too long, let’s make it fifteen years.”

  China under the rule of Zhao Han was much better than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Historically, the population of the early Qing Dynasty was the worst. The government of the Qing Dynasty didn't take much care of it. They just issued policies to encourage immigrants to reclaim wasteland.

   Let’s not talk about Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty. There are thousands of miles of uninhabited people. Let’s talk about Shandong in the early Qing Dynasty.

  In Shandong in the early years of Kangxi, how short was the population? The tenants can eat at the same table with the landlord, but the landlord has to coax the tenants and dare not treat them harshly, otherwise there will be no one to help farm the land.

  After detailed discussions with the cabinet, Zhao Han finalized the plan for next year's immigration plan.

  Sichuan will immigrate at least 100,000 people to Shaanxi before the end of next year. Jiangxi and Hunan each immigrated 50,000 to Hebei. Southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui each immigrated 30,000 to Liaoning.

  Although Liaoning Province has not yet been formally established, its administrative division has been basically finalized, that is, the circle surrounded by the Great Wall of Liaoning. It basically coincides with the territory of Liaoning Province in later generations, except that Jianchang, Jianping, Chaoyang, Beipiao, Fuxin, Zhangwu, Xinmin, and Changtu are missing. Most of these places are now grazing Mongolians.

Li Banghua pointed to the map and said: "The remaining veins in the east of Yanshan Mountain and the edge of the grassland here, I asked people in Liaodong that they can farm land. The Mongols here are also half-cultivating and half-grazing. The Great Wall is not enough to defend. Liaoning Province The territory must be expanded beyond the Great Wall. Order the frontline soldiers to quickly destroy these places. Next year, one-third of the immigrants from Liaodong will migrate to farming. It is time for the Han people to mix with the Mongols, encourage interracial marriage, and supplement it with enlightenment merit."

   What Li Banghua meant was to make the territory of Liaoning Province exactly the same as Liaoning Province hundreds of years later.

   This is not a coincidence, but for political and military purposes.

  The Mongols there can also be completely assimilated, because they have already been half-cultivating and half-grazing. Especially in mountainous areas, there are more Mongolians farming than herding Mongolians.

  As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the residents in those places were actually mainly Han Chinese, and some areas were under the jurisdiction of Duoyan Sanwei.

  After Zhu Di seized the throne, it was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to insist on the policy of guarding the borders of the kings. Coupled with some other reasons, they voluntarily gave up those lands, and the border defense was shrunk in all directions. After the Tumu Fort change, Ming Bao Zong ordered Daming to sweep away the majesty, so more and more Mongolians moved south, occupying the land abandoned by Zhu Di.

  Zhao Han never thought of killing all Mongols and Jurchens, but he had to live with Han people and receive school education. Mongols who seldom herd, or do not herd, have their own Chinese names after learning to speak Chinese. How is it different from real Han people?

  Even in Daming, there are quite a few Sinicized Mongols and Sinicized Jurchens in Liaodong.

Pang Chunlai lay down on the map and took a closer look: "After these areas are assigned to Liaoning, prefectures and counties should be set up, the sooner the better. Any Mongolian leader who dares to resist, then send troops to capture and kill! Also, according to Wang Tingchen According to reports, among these Mongolian tribes, there are many Han slaves. All Han slaves were released as people, and where they can farm land, they will be given to the Han people. Where they cannot farm land, the Han people will be allocated pastures!"

   It is true that the sooner it is done, the better, because the strength of these Mongolian tribes will be greatly damaged by fighting with the Manchus.

  The Mongols who defected to the city in Liaoyang all came from the Mongolian tribe in that area. It is true that they dedicated their city to meritorious deeds, but they also committed a lot of crimes by robbing and killing Han people in the past, so there is no need to get used to everything.

  Dissatisfied?

   Then you rebel!

  Li Banghua said: "In another five years, we will continue to immigrate to enrich the population and consolidate the imperial court's rule in Liaoning. At that time, we will be able to send troops to the north to completely conquer Karaqin and Horqin Mongolia."

  Especially the territory of Karaqin Mongolia, one-third of which is included in the territory of Liaoning, and they dare not have any opinions.

  Manchu rule over Mongolia was divided into three types: Eight Banner Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. Divide the Mongolian pastures into pieces, let the various ministries of Mongolia check and balance each other, and let the vested interest groups suppress those non-vested interest groups.

  This approach was very effective when the Manchu and Qing soldiers were strong, but many Mongols accumulated resentment.

  In this war, the Manchus were defeated, and conflicts erupted immediately.

  The Datong court directly set up state counties. At least in arable areas, state counties are very useful, and there is absolutely no need to figure out that set.

  As for the grasslands in the north, we have to find another way, maybe we can learn from the Qing Dynasty.

  October of the lunar calendar.

  The wheat in Liaodong had already been harvested and put into warehouses, and a lot was distributed to the common people, and a lot of military rations were left behind.

  The distribution of land in Liaodong has also been basically completed. Firstly, the population is relatively small, so it is easier to count; secondly, the people register on their own initiative, and the land can be divided with household registration.

  Including the Jurchen and Mongols who were not listed as prisoners of war, Liaoning has a total population (over 12 years old) of 540,000. There are more than 30,000 Jurchen and Mongols who are listed as prisoners of war and their families. They cannot be officially registered for the time being, and they are all thrown to mine in the mountains in the northeast. They can reform through labor to make amends. If they are lucky, they will be able to go to the government to register for household registration and divide the land if they are still alive after five years of work.

   There are also some coated slaves, the heinous ones, who are treated like prisoners of war. For the rest of the coating, one year of mining can be registered as a citizen.

   Above, the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall are not counted, otherwise the population of Liaoning should be more than 600,000.

   Persist in immigrating 50,000 to 60,000 people every year. In less than ten years, the population of Liaoning will exceed one million, and then the province can be formally established.

At this time, Li Zicheng's letter of surrender was sent to Nanjing: first, please remove the title of emperor, and would like to raise the whole province of Shanxi to submit to the Datong court; Open up the grassland territory; third, request the release of Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other captured Dashun generals.

   (Family gathering today, only one update, sorry.)
