"As for those bannermen and ordinary people, wait for the situation to stabilize and send them all outside the customs to farm! Together with other immigrants, these bannermen must be closely monitored. If there is no illegal or disorderly matter within ten years, the surveillance of them will be cancelled. Once there is any behavior that endangers the empire, you will never be ruthless!" Long Yufei said. He may not retaliate against those bannermen, but he will never allow those bannermen to try to endanger the empire's security in the future. If such a thing really happens, he will never show mercy.

Now, there are only one million bannermen in China. The Empire plans to immigrate at least 20 million to the Northeast in the future. These bannermen are only one-twentieth of other immigrants. In addition, these bannermen will all be broken up and settled, so that they will not be afraid that they will gather to make trouble again.

"Yes, Your Majesty! However, those bannermen will not engage in production except for walking birds and fighting cocks. Even if they are sent to the Northeast for farming, they may not work!" Prime Minister Li Decheng said. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the bannermen began to stop working. Their only responsibility was to join the army and maintain the Qing Dynasty. Each bannermen could receive a considerable salary every year, which allowed them to live comfortably without labour. Over the past two hundred years, these bannermen had no idea how to produce and work. If the empire drove these bannermen back outside the pass, the final result would probably be to starve to death.

"Hmph! It doesn't matter if you don't work. We can let other immigrants teach them. If they don't learn, there is no other way. Wait for starvation to death! The empire will never use people's fat and ointment to feed these parasites." Long Yufei said. The reason why the Qing Dynasty declined was inseparable from the blood-sucking of these bannermen. They did not do production. And the number was increasing, which forced the Qing Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue to take out a large part to support them until the Qing Dynasty's finance could not be delayed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng nodded. After the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Northeast was already under the control of the empire. Although the northeast was deserted, the land there was very fertile. In addition, the policy of prohibiting the Han people from leaving the customs in the past two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, this vast fertile land had never been developed. If the empire immigrated to the northeast on a large scale, it would undoubtedly turn it into a granary. Similarly, more refugees could be placed. The war between the empire and the Qing Dynasty had formed a large number of refugees in the north. When restoring production in the north, it was also very important to immigrate outwards. After all, the environmental tolerance of areas such as the Loess Plateau was already very harsh.

"By the way. Now we have captured the princes, nobles and high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty, and the capital is under the control of the imperial army. How much money have we seized?" Long Yufei asked. How much wealth has the Qing Dynasty collected in the past two hundred years! Although they have squandered a lot, what has been left behind is also a huge amount of wealth. These wealth is very important for the empire that is in the war.

"Your Majesty, according to the inventory of the front-line troops, the gold, silver and treasures are worth about 300 million to 400 million Huayuan. There are also a large number of cultural relics, antiques, land and real estate, etc. These require further identification and realization to determine the final value. However, it is estimated that the value of these things is more than 300 million Huayuan." said General Zhao Yi, Deputy Chief of Staff and Minister of Logistics and Equipment.

"Those lands will be unified and distributed by the government to those farmers without land and with little land. In addition, those cultural relics and antiques, which are important national treasures, should be collected, and some of the less important ones will be sold! All the properties will be sold!" Long Yufei said. The continuous wars and military expenditures were consumed very quickly, and the empire urgently needed a large amount of funds to supplement. In addition, restoring production in the north also requires a large amount of funds. The wealth seized from the princes and nobles and officials of the Qing Dynasty was undoubtedly a very important supplement to the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng and a group of ministers in the cabinet have long been eyeing this fund. Now, spending money every day is like flowing water. If there is no other income, the empire's finances will be about to go bankrupt.

"Well, everyone, although the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed by us, the war has not ended yet. Next, the empire must continue to fight with the Russians. Only by completely beating the Russians and fearing them can the empire's borders be safe. Therefore, the next stage of the war against Russia is more important." Long Yufei reminded. The Russians' 600,000 expeditionary force has begun to march towards the Far East in batches. It is expected that in another two or three months, they will arrive in the Far East. At that time, the empire will face another hard battle.

"Your Majesty, the Empire is ready for this war. After the Imperial Army destroys the Qing Dynasty, it will continue to march northward. Prime Minister, the Empire's cavalry will continue to expand. The other four cavalry armies need to be formed as soon as possible. We will strive to form an army within the next three months. In this way, we have a total of six cavalry armies, more than 200,000 people, and can be devoted to the battle against Russia. Among the infantry, the General Staff plans to invest 12 armies to East and West Siberia, totaling 420,000 people.

For cavalry, the imperial army will not be much less powerful than Russians in terms of military strength." General Niu Meng, chief of staff, said. In the vast Siberian battle, the cavalry has undoubtedly much greater role than infantry. Especially when the logistics supply lines of both sides are very fragile, the cavalry has more uses. It can not only be used to protect its own logistics supply lines, but also to attack the enemy's logistics supply lines. Once the logistics supply lines are cut off, it is almost impossible to win the war.

"Well! The warriors they prepared to rule the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert and the northern desert can join the Imperial team. The four newly formed cavalry troops of the Empire must be established as soon as possible and then head to the battlefield. In addition, logistics is the key to this battle with the Russians." Long Yufei said. In this war, the logistics supply line of the imperial army needed to cross the entire Mongolian grassland. Without railways and no roads, all supplies were guaranteed only by mules and horses. Hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line were fighting bloody battles with the enemy, and the war materials consumed every day were astronomical. Once the logistics supply could not keep up, it would be impossible to defeat the enemy.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The transportation team formed in the previous stage of the empire is ready to go to the Mongolian grassland. In addition, we can also give orders to the Mongolian ministries to help us. In this way, our logistics pressure will be reduced." said General Zhao Yi, Deputy Chief of Staff and Minister of Logistics and Equipment.

Long Yufei nodded. In order to ensure the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops ahead, the empire needed to mobilize at least millions of logistics personnel.

"Give orders to the Khan of the Mongolian tribes, let them organize transportation teams too! In addition, there are many horses on the grassland, and we can buy more horses from them at a reasonable price, which can not only be used to form cavalry units, but also to provide logistics support." Long Yufei said. After gaining allegiance from the Mongolians, the empire's restrictions on war horses were almost gone. Although Mongolian horses are not as tall as the war horses used by Western cavalry, Mongolian horses have good endurance and not so high breeding conditions, and are a very good military horse.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Zhao Yi nodded.

Long Yufei's eyes fell on the map hanging in the study. Now the center of the empire is south of the Yangtze River. This area has been completely developed after several years of construction of the empire. However, the places north of the Yangtze River are much behind. The Qing Dynasty was not at all concerned about infrastructure construction and devoted all its strength to the construction of arms. Although the empire has destroyed the Qing Dynasty, it is a mess to take over. Although Long Yufei had thought of these before, the problems he is facing are still very difficult.

"The Cabinet and the Ministry of Transport are ready to start building roads and railways in the north of the empire on a large scale! In particular, several important railways must be started in the shortest time. One is to cross the Yangtze River from Jiangning, to Xuzhou, and then cross Shandong to Tianjin. The other is to go north from Wuchang, cross Henan and then arrive in Beijing. If these two railways are built, a large amount of materials can be transported to the north by railway. In addition, we must make every effort to build a railway from Beijing to the Mongolian grassland. Only after the railway is built on the grassland can we truly influence these places. Even if this railway may not play any role in this war, this railway may not play any role. However, this will be very beneficial for the future empire to control the Mongolian grasslands and gradually advance from Siberia to the west." Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng and Transportation Minister Zhou Zishan nodded. Although there will be many difficulties in building these railways, it will cost a lot of money and time. But they also know that these railways must be built and must be completed in the fastest time. This is of great significance to the future strategic deployment of the empire.

"Your Majesty, the imperial finance may not be able to provide so much money." Finance Minister Liu Mingde said with a bitter face.

"We can consider issuing railway bonds and raising capital from the private sector. I believe that the people of the Empire will support us!" Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the Minister of Finance Liu Mingde.

After the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial army did not stop and began to march north under the order of the imperial emperor Long Yufei. (To be continued)
