Chapter 510: Recovering Liao has not yet succeeded!
It is nonsense to say that soldiers do not understand politics. Anyone who is in the whirlpool of military affairs cannot stay away from politics. Which of the generals who lead the soldiers on the front line is not a human being? They are very sensitive to politics!
As for military generals always seem to suffer in the political whirlpool, don’t civil servants also suffer? I’m afraid that civil servants who have achieved success are no less than military generals? As long as power is involved, whether they are military generals or civil servants, people who are not bright-minded and have insufficient vision
They are all likely to be involved! Being ruined can only mean that you are not strong enough and have nothing to do with being a scholar or a martial artist!
For someone with Liu Yuanbin’s status, if he doesn’t figure out the Holy Will, he would be too untalented!
After chatting with Cao Ruohai for a while, the soldiers who went to inspect the deserted village reported that a dozen old, weak, women, and children were found in the village ahead, but there was no one else there.
After riding into the village, Liu Yuanbin saw a dozen thin villagers dressed like beggars standing in the open space in the middle of the village. A few wild dogs barking could be heard in the distance. Beside the village road, there seemed to be a body covered by something.
A bitten corpse.
As long as the Han people have some effort, they will not leave human corpses in the wilderness and let wild animals bite them, let alone this is a village with people. The scene in front of them can only show that the villagers who are still alive have been completely numb to life.
.
"Send an order to the headquarters and ask them to mobilize three or four security groups from the battlefield to search and sort out all the villages and farmhouses outside Shenyang City. If they encounter wild dogs and wild beasts, they will be killed. If they encounter corpses, they will find a place to bury them on the spot. If they encounter any alive, they will find a place to bury them.
All the villagers are gathered here for centralized resettlement. Remember, no harm is allowed to the people. Anyone who violates military laws will be subject to local political and legal proceedings and does not need to be tried by the Military Justice Department." I haven't walked up to those villagers yet.
, Liu Yuanbin issued the military order with a stern expression. The dilapidated appearance of the suburbs of Shenyang made him feel very uncomfortable.
When they arrived in front of the villagers, the old and weak people just knelt on the ground numbly, unable to speak. There was no atmosphere at all like Master Wang returning to his hometown and the villagers welcoming him.
Liu Yuanbin originally wanted to have a few words with the villagers to understand their current situation, but with their expressions like that, how could they talk? He could only give them a few rough looks and asked the soldiers who stayed here to
Take proper care of your diet.
"Brother Cao, it is not easy for the imperial court to restore Liao Dynasty. Most of the villages in the suburbs of Shenyang are probably similar to the village in front of you. Judging from the intelligence, after we break the city, it will be good to have 20 to 30% of the people left in the city. This is
The largest city in Liaodong is so ruined and the current situation is unbearable to look at."
"The Jianlu people are in vain. They know that the situation is over, but they still carry out such atrocities and plunder all our Han people. It is really annoying that they were not completely annihilated in this battle. From what I see, the court should make a big decision and take pains.
When chasing bandits, it is better to exterminate the son-of-a-bitch’s clan with all his strength. It is not a good thing to only recover Shenyang City like now.”
"Don't make any assumptions about Your Majesty's long-term strategy. The tragic situation before you is exactly why Your Majesty asked us to stop the offensive after taking Shenyang City. With the current situation of the court, there is no chance of destroying the Jianlu in one battle. But Your Majesty
There must be a plan to destroy his country in his heart, otherwise Fushun and Tieling will never be left to the Jianlu. Just wait, with today's disaster in Shenyang, in a few years my Ming soldiers will definitely break through their lair and let them
I will pay you back in full."
In the middle of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the capital received good news and battle reports sent by fast horses from Shenyang City. The Ming Dynasty army captured Shenyang City and recovered this important city in Liaodong that had been lost for nearly 30 years!
The ministers in the main hall were all jumping for joy and talking to the emperor on the dragon throne about all kinds of nonsense about happiness coming from heaven, the Ming Dynasty reviving, and the saints being wise and powerful.
"Okay everyone, let's save the nonsense for later. Looking at the good news in front of me, I really don't feel any joy in getting revenge. Only about 30% of the people in Shenyang City and surrounding areas are left, and the fertile fields are almost as barren as wild lands. The city was burned down and plundered by the Jianlu! The main force of the Jianlu evacuated safely to its old place, taking away more than 300,000 people! Is this called the restoration of Liao? In my opinion, only one-third of the restoration of Liao was completed. That’s a lot! Such news is nothing to celebrate!”
Everyone's good mood was completely ruined by the emperor's words. Everyone suppressed their excitement and looked dejectedly at the emperor on the throne. Can't you make people happy for a few days before talking?
"The restoration of Liao has not yet been successful, and it is too early to celebrate now! Send a message to Zhu Dadian in Jinzhou City, asking him to take officials from the Liaodong Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen to move to Shenyang City within a month to start work. The Ministry of Household Affairs issued five million taels of Liaodong reconstruction treasury bonds and allocated them to the Liaodong Governor-General's Office for this year's Liaodong reconstruction and people's peace work. He told Zhu Dadian that it was necessary to ensure that the Liaodong survivors who stayed in Shenyang could safely spend this winter, and We need to organize next year’s spring plowing work.”
"The Civil Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Household Affairs must find ways to immigrate to Liaodong. By the end of next year, at least 200,000 people will be moved to Liaodong, of which 100,000 need to be resettled around Shenyang City."
"The Ministry of Rites should take the lead to conduct peace negotiations with Jianlu as soon as possible. It is best to reach a peace negotiation document and resume border trade between the two parties as soon as possible. Through the commerce between the two parties, the city of Shenyang affected by the war can regain some vitality. The main goods traded in border trade are still The main products are wood, ural grass and leather goods.”
"The cabinet takes the lead in formulating a five-year Liaodong recovery plan, which should coordinate immigration, agricultural restoration, railways, official roads, water conservancy, industrial and commercial recovery and other matters, and detail the budget and goals to be achieved for each of these matters. .I hope that in five years’ time, I can see a prosperous scene in Liaodong.”
"The Military Order and the Jinyiwei jointly conducted surveys and reconnaissance on the geography, people's sentiments, and military strength of the Jianlu hinterland, summarized the situation, and then formulated a practical strategy and road map for pacifying the rebels in order to prepare for a war of annihilation against the Jianlu at any time. .”
Zhu Youjian spoke out several plans for what the court would do next in Liaodong in one breath. His mouth was dry as he talked about it. The battle in Liaodong basically achieved the purpose envisioned before the war, but the result was not To Zhu Youjian's satisfaction, Liaodong, which was recaptured from the Qing Dynasty, was so dilapidated that it was unbearable to look at it. How could this be a prosperous place where the Han people had lived since ancient times? Starting from the Battle of Saarhu, a full attack would be four In less than ten years, why did the Qing Dynasty cause it to become like this? A good land for farming was completely destroyed, let alone five years and ten years to restore this land. What a miracle!
Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed Liaodong and it took nearly two hundred years to recover. The old people in Liaodong during the Ming Dynasty were almost extinct. Most of the Han people in the Northeast later migrated there from Shandong and other places. Liaodong regained its vitality almost at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It's a matter of fact. To say that the Manchu Qing's governance looked decent was actually only after they entered the customs. Before entering the customs, they were really not a qualified farming regime.
