Chapter 783 King Lu’s heart, meeting to destroy the Qing Dynasty

Author: Linglinghou

Zhu Yihai smiled and said: "One hundred and eighty-eight native men, two hundred and five women, and sixty-three native children. In addition, about three carts of furs were seized."

"Your Majesty, counting the natives captured today, the immigration base has 1,050 young natives, 877 native women, and 309 native children.

Not to mention that so many natives have greatly increased our food burden, even supervising the young and strong natives and women also requires a lot of manpower.

Now, all the native tribes for dozens of miles around King Hui's territory should have been conquered, right? Your Majesty, it's time to stop." Xue Wen advised earnestly.

He knew that with Qian Tianhe, the method of violating Confucianism was not very effective now, so he simply tried to persuade him from the perspective of practical interests.

Zhu Yihai didn't take Xue Wen's words seriously, but he was worried that capturing more native prisoners would cause problems with the territory's food supply, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, just listen to Xue Changshi, let's not look for those people for the time being.

The natives are in trouble."

I was thinking that in a few years, when the control area of ​​King Lu continues to expand, he will definitely come into contact with other natives, and it will not be too late to capture a group of prisoners by then.

At this time, Zheng Zunqian said with a smile: "Tamazao is too worried. We did not capture these natives as pure slaves, but set up a whole system to urge them to naturalize as soon as possible.

As long as there are smarter ones among them who are willing to work hard, they may be able to leave the labor force in ten and a half months and receive treatment similar to that of ordinary immigrants.

After several months of this, there may not even be half the natives left in the labor force, and we have added hundreds of obedient young and strong natives. How can we fail to supervise them?

As for the food issue, just hunt more sea fish, hunt more kangaroos, and let the native women collect more wild fruits, vegetables, etc. That will be enough.

In our area, even if the natives eat less, they will definitely eat better than they did before and live a stable life."

Zheng Zunqian’s words also make sense.

The system he designed to urge natives to naturalize was indeed outstanding.

For example, if a native learns more than ten sentences of Chinese, he or she can be separated from the labor force. If a native has received an excellent evaluation during labor for ten consecutive days, he or she can also be separated from the labor force.

If you do a lot of work and do it well, you will be rewarded with meals and even a complete set of clothes.

And so on.

Therefore, although Xue Wen did not like Zhu Yihai's unprovoked attack on the native tribes and wantonly captured the natives into slavery, he could not refute it.

In the final analysis, although the "forced naturalization" policy is cruel to the native people, it can indeed accelerate the development of the Lu Kingdom.

Finally, Xue Wen sighed and said: "Since we want to convert the natives into common people, it is better not to be so harsh on them, otherwise it will ultimately lay the foundation for the long-term development of the king's territory."

In fact, he wanted to use the word "harsh" as "brutal", but in the end he was afraid of offending Zhu Yihai, so he didn't use it.

It was not that Zhu Yihai couldn't listen to Xue Wen's advice at all. At this time, he looked thoughtfully at the young natives who were being supervised at work.

In the end, he chuckled and said: "The future matters will be solved by later generations. What I have to do is to try my best to make the Lu Kingdom strong and prosperous in my lifetime, and even become the number one kingdom in Yingzhou.

In this way, we can live up to the great opportunities that come from overseas!"

After saying that, Zhu Yihai didn't want to hear anything else from Xue Wen and strode into his temporary palace built of logs.

Nanjing.

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yusao did not know what the seven vassal princes she had sealed were doing in Yingzhou.

Even if I know, I won't care.

She sealed the seven kings to Yingzhou, and was prepared to let them develop wildly there. What kind of development they can develop depends entirely on them.

The Ming Dynasty did not impose too many restrictions on immigration, which is already a considerable support.

In fact, for now, the overseas vassal territories are not that attractive to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Because now, under her governance, Ming Dynasty is prosperous, all walks of life are developing rapidly, and people's living standards have been significantly improved every year.

For wealthy people, good enjoyments are endless, and there are also a lot of investment opportunities.

For those who don't have money, there are a lot of job opportunities. As long as they work hard, they can at least make a living without worrying about food and clothing.

In this case, the number of people willing to take risks overseas to gain wealth has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, when each vassal king came to vassal, even if he offered high treatment, the number of immigrants he could recruit was quite limited.

For example, the Tang king was able to recruit more than 10,000 people at one time, which can be said to be the result of all his efforts. It would be very difficult to recruit so many immigrants later.

Even if a gold mine is discovered in a feudal prince's territory or in the area under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou City, it may not attract many people there.

Fortunately, the sea lanes controlled by the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more secure, and the imperial court is calling on the people to go to sea to strive for wealth and even open up territory for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, there will definitely be fewer people willing to go to sea.

As a chess player, Zhu Aolao had little control over overseas development after laying out her chess pieces. Her main focus was still within and around the Ming Dynasty.

Because she knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was the foundation of her empire.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Military Affairs and all the ministers are here." A eunuch entered the Wuying Palace to report.

Zhu Yasuo nodded, stood up and said: "Let's go to the Military Academy!"

After Yu Xue was carried out, Zhu Ailao did not sit on it, but walked to the carriage and walked.

After a while, Zhu Yura came to the conference hall of the Military Academy and sat on the main seat.

Several military ministers and ministers bowed together and said: "See you, Your Majesty!"

"Plain body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu's phoenix eyes scanned the people in the hall sharply.

Supervisor Li Yan and assistant managers Zhu Dadian, Ye Tinggui and Ma Ke stood at the front.

As for the other associate minister, Hong Niangzi, she is currently confinement at home - half a month ago, Hong Niangzi finally gave birth to a big fat boy for Li Yan.

This is the second child that the red lady gave birth to to Li Yan.

The first child was born in the fourth year of Zhaowu. She was a girl and was named Li Xi by Zhu A'ao.

As for the couple's second child, Zhu Aona didn't name her - she had to give her parents a chance.

After all, the red lady is already thirty-three now, and it is still unknown whether she will have a third child in the future.

Behind the Minister of Military Affairs were Liu Xiaolian, Bai Xiaosheng, Yang Tinglin and other ministers.

Seeing that all the ministers were concentrating, Zhu Yue opened his mouth and said: "The North Korean envoy asked for help again and said that the Qing Dynasty had completely occupied Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province, and Gyeongsang Province.

North Korea only has Gyeonggi Province, and Jeolla Province is trying its best to support it. As for the North Korean monarchs and ministers, they have already retreated to Jeju Island.

In such a situation, it is time for Ming Dynasty to take action. Otherwise, it will not be so easy to seize Korea after the Qing captives completely occupy it.

If I, the Ming Dynasty, take action this time, I will strive to eliminate the Qing captives in one fell swoop and not give the Qing captives any chance to breathe.

Today, all the ministers will discuss how to fight this battle."

Ministers of the Military Council have discussed many times in recent years about how to destroy the Qing captives in one fell swoop and take over Korea.

Although since the beginning of this spring, North Korea has been defeated one after another when facing the Qing captives, and eventually turned into fleeing like before, causing large areas of territory to fall into the hands of the Qing captives one after another. But for the Ming Dynasty, it is still not difficult to eliminate the Qing captives in one fell swoop.

After Zhu Yuluo finished speaking, the veteran Ye Tinggui took the lead and said: "I believe that Weiyuan Bo Zeng Ying should be the commander in this battle, first break Hetuala, and then attack the Ping'an Road in North Korea..."

After Ye Tinggui spoke, other ministers of the Military Affairs Council also spoke one after another. They usually talked about matters related to their duties first, and then mentioned matters that extended from their duties.

As for the previous phenomenon where all the courtiers could speak randomly when the court was discussing matters, it has long since disappeared.

After the other ministers had finished speaking, Li Yan came out and marked various points on a military map focusing on the Korean Peninsula and the Northeast region, explained it, and sorted out everyone's suggestions into a complete military plan.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuyao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then let's follow this plan. After the meeting, the Staff Department of the Military Academy will write a formal plan and submit it."

"I obey the order!"

···

After the meeting, Zhu Aaao returned to Wuying Hall. It was almost half past five.

Zhu Aelao remembered that Hao Guangming was going away again tomorrow, so she told Liu Shuying, Forsythia and others, and returned to the old house in Zhulin ten minutes early.
