Chapter 113 courage
It has to be said that the reason why Prince Yong was able to take Jianxing to take over and take over was not only because the dilemma faced by the Qing Dynasty made the nobles of the Qing Dynasty anxious, but also because Jianxing could not be changed, but also because his personal charm was also his.
Although Jianxing was known as a wise king before he ascended the throne, he treated others in harmony and gave people a sense of closeness as a humble gentleman. After becoming an emperor, Jianxing also made his ministers feel relaxed most of the time. Even if he talked with his ministers on weekdays, Jianxing was very polite and acted as a respectful attitude of a virtuous and humble man.
However, although such an emperor makes people feel close, it also makes people have an insecure view. It is like the difference between a friend and a successful entrepreneur. The former can make you feel relaxed in your relationship, while the latter can make you feel a sense of pressure when talking, but it can make you trust and rely more.
Prince Yong is such a person. Although he is serious and has the title of Iron King, when he decides to do something, his ministers will feel at ease because they know that Prince Yong has never been a big deal but a person who is good at doing practical things. In the current situation, such a person who does practical things is the helm who really needs.
As his smile gradually subsided, Tian Wenjing spoke first. He asked Prince Yong to take out a map that had been prepared long ago and expanded it in front of everyone.
Then, Tian Wenjing pointed to the map and said that with his story, the various parts of Gansu, especially the areas in Longyou and southeast of Long, were presented to everyone. Based on the terrain, rivers, mountains and rivers and the climate of the four seasons, Tian Wenjing pointed out the most suitable locations for military farming, and suggested that we follow the example of the Qianming Dynasty to establish garrisons in these places and carry out military farming.
"The prince, in fact, now it is nothing more than military camps and civil camps. According to my opinion, we can now take a two-pronged approach. The most important thing is to open the camp."
"Mr. Tian means to concentrate his efforts to open the garrison first to meet the needs of next year. After leaving the garrison, the military and civilian garrisons will be adjusted?" Everyone present was elite. After Tian Wenjing said this, someone immediately understood, and Ma Qi asked immediately.
"That's right!" Tian Wenjing nodded and said, "No matter what kind of species, the purpose of farming is the primary. People must gather, command and carry out farming. The efficiency is far less than that of military farming. I think you all know this."
Seeing everyone nodding, Tian Wenjing said again: "The most important thing now is to open the garrison. This time has passed day by day, and it is really impossible to delay it. If we first focus on civil or military garrison, it is better to work together to seize the time to do the real work. As for the latter, it is not too late to deal with it slowly by next year. I think the court can come up with a complete plan in this half year. What do you think?"
Tian Wenjing is worthy of being a capable official in the local area for more than 20 years. Compared with Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and other central officials are the most familiar with this kind of farming. Moreover, the suggestions he put forward are also very reasonable. If you think about it carefully, the same is true. Only in this way can you solve the current urgent problem.
Everyone sighed in their hearts that Tian Wenjing was indeed not a lucky chance to be attracted by Prince Yong. Even if he wanted to find the local area, he could not find many. He also proposed to follow the Ming Dynasty's garrison system to assist in the use of military farming, which was amazing. You must know that the military farming system in the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang who carried out military farming and implemented the military to support the army. It was also the establishment of this system that enabled Zhu Yuanzhang to increase his strength in a few years and eventually won the world through this.
Although the system of the vassal system in the Ming Dynasty gradually became formal in less than a hundred years, and the collapse of the vassal system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was even more unbearable. However, these cannot conceal the importance of the establishment of the system and the late Yuan Dynasty. Everyone present was familiar with history books, so naturally they also knew the story of the previous dynasty.
Apart from what these ministers thought, Prince Yong thought a deeper level. Now as the Qing court moved to the northwest, the Qing army in Gansu was more and more, whether it was the Eight Banners, Green Camps, or the New Army. At present, there were nearly 100,000 troops in Lanzhou alone, not to mention the troops under the hands of Longkodo, Yin Tai and other generals.
On the one hand, these troops had to be responsible for preventing the attack of the Ming army in the east, but from the current point of view, the Ming army would not have a high possibility of attacking the northwest. Apart from the time reason, Guanzhong, Shanxi and other places captured by the Ming army needed to resume production and stabilize the place. In addition, the Qing army occupied the important roads to Gansu in the Guanzhong area. If the Ming army wanted to enter Gansu from Guanzhong, it would be impossible to capture the important roads, and it would not be so easy to defeat them.
On the other hand, Prince Guo's troops are in the Western Regions, and Prince Yong is already working on this matter. If everything goes well, Prince Guo's affairs will be properly resolved soon. By then, Prince Yong's all the troops in his hands will go further, and it is actually not a good thing to hold so many troops at that time.
Raising soldiers is extremely expensive. Even when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak, the country's troops were only 500,000 or 600,000, which was a bit pitiful compared to the previous Ming Dynasty's troops that had only one million troops at any time. But now, if the Qing Dynasty lost the Central Plains and lost to the northwest, if Prince Yong had solved the Western Regions, the troops in Prince Yong would have exceeded 350,000. The daily consumption of such a huge force in his hand can be imagined.
Moreover, the army is also an uncertain factor. Such a number of troops will cause trouble if they do nothing. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty cannot reduce the number of troops now. Faced with the threat of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty even felt that the military strength in its hands was a bit insufficient. How could it reduce the number of troops under this situation?
Therefore, in order to ensure the peace of the unstable factor of the army, it is best to use these military parts for military farming. As for the fields that are stored, they can also be distributed to civilian farms in the future. Anyway, these are all things from the court, so it is not as simple as Prince Yong's words for anyone?
Prince Yong agreed to this, and he decided to do it according to what Tian Wenjing said, and at the same time he added Tian Wenjing to the imperial military farming minister, and asked Yin Tai to assist in doing a good job in military farming.
In addition, others also proposed suggestions such as raising cattle, sheep, or even herding horses, which could carry out animal husbandry development in areas that were not conducive to farming to reduce the pressure on the court. Prince Yong also expressed his willingness to accept this. The Qing Dynasty was originally a nomadic fishing and hunting nation, and doing these was the old business of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and it was time to pick up the old business now.
The matter of farming was basically decided, and Prince Yong smiled at the corner of his mouth. If everything goes well, he will be much more relaxed next year.
At this moment, Dai Duo suddenly made a suggestion to Prince Yong. After the suggestion was put forward, everyone present was stunned. Even Prince Yong himself was very surprised.
