Chapter 63 Liaonan Mansion

Yi Shiha said: "But it is a problem of North Korean refugees."

Zhu Qizhen said: "North Korean refugees?"

Yi Shiha said: "In order to open up the southeastern area of ​​​​the Doman River, the King of Korea kept moving people from the south of Korea to the northwest, but the people were not happy to do so, so many Korean people fled to our country. I inspected Liaodong

Many of the people fled from North Korea."

"Even Yu Chen's success in planting rice in Liaodong this time is thanks to the fact that Korean people are good at planting rice."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was amused and said: "What does this have to do with North Korea's request to change the route?"

Yishi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, please think about it, if North Korea truthfully reports the situation at Dongba Station, how will the court deal with it?"

Zhu Qizhen said in a condescending manner: "Of course it is to send officials to rectify it. The best way is -" Zhu Qizhen paused and said: "Move a few guard posts to work in the fields."

Yi Shiha said: "There is also the construction of the Great Wall. Obviously North Korea does not want to do this."

Zhu Qizhen immediately wanted to understand why North Korea did not want to do this. Not only did North Korea annex the lower reaches of the Doman River, but also the current Tumen River, but it was still not satisfied and wanted to get involved in the west of the Yalu River.

Therefore, facing the situation that this tribute road was difficult to walk, North Korea did not want the Ming Dynasty to reinforce this area, so all they wanted to do was avoid it and take other roads.

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "What a huge appetite. What he wanted was not what I wanted, and I am disappointed. I ask you, Liaodong Dusi, if you have the ability to run Dongba Station?"

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen came from later generations and was a little uncomfortable with North Korea's annexation of the lower reaches of the Tumen River. But there was nothing he could do about it. But as a Ming Dynasty person, he didn't think this was a big deal at all.

In Zhu Qizhen's view, no matter how the Jurchens said it, the Imperial Guard Commander Jianzhou was one of their own, but no matter how North Korea said it, he was a foreign country and an outsider.

North Korea's annexation of the Jurchens was a provocation to the Ming Dynasty.

But many people in Ming Dynasty did not think so at that time.

They all felt that whether they were Jianzhou Guards or Koreans, they were actually foreign vassals. After all, Jurchen, the Jianzhou Guards, only had a name for the court.

Since they are both foreign vassals, it depends on who is closer and who has more cultural identity.

At this point, North Korea naturally has more cultural identity than the Jurchens. North Korea is known as Little China, and the Jurchens have never been too honest.

Although generally speaking, they are still relatively honest now. But it does not mean that the Jurchens are really of the same mind as the imperial court, so there is a conflict between North Korea and the Jurchens.

Many people prefer North Korea in their hearts.

I have never thought about the ownership of places in the lower reaches of the Tumen River, such as Huining, North Korea. On the one hand, I think these places are insignificant, and on the other hand, I don’t think these places are my own.

If Zhu Qizhen really wanted to argue with North Korea over these places, Yang Shiqi would definitely try his best to dissuade him. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen could only hold his nose and admit it as a fait accompli.

As for places like Dongba Station, this is not the case. Although it is still very deserted, it is already under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If North Korea peeks into this place, not only Zhu Qizhen will not agree, but the ministers in the imperial court will also not agree.

This is why North Korea’s peek at the west bank of the Yalu River is just a peek.

Yi Shiha said: "Cao Yi, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is a veteran general. With him being as stable as Mount Tai in Liaodong, it is naturally possible to run the East Eighth Station. However, all the remaining grain this year has been transported to the capital. Therefore, there is insufficient food in Liaodong, so I am afraid that it will not be possible."

A big move."

Zhu Qizhen said: "I will transfer 200,000 shi of grain from Shandong to Liaodong. The existing grain should be enough."

Yi Shiha said: "That's enough, but even in this way, there are still few people."

"The west bank of the Yalu River is empty. In my opinion, if the land is granted according to the instructions, the land of several counties can be obtained. However, most of the people in Liaodong are west of Qianshan. Even if they move to a guard station, there will only be only ten or twenty thousand people, and they have to protect the post roads.

.I’m afraid there’s not enough manpower.”

Zhu Qizhen said: "This matter cannot be rushed. Let's move a health center first. Natural disasters have continued in recent years. I ordered Yu Qian to recruit the refugees and provide relief with work. There will still be river restoration this year. After the river restoration is completed in the future

, naturally these refugees will be placed around Tianjin Prefecture, and then I will send some to Liaodong. But this must be prepared in advance."

"How is Li Ji doing in Liaodong? I heard that he, the governor of Liaodong, did a very unsatisfactory job?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly changed the subject and looked disappointed.

Yi Shiha immediately said: "I am guilty."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "Whether there is guilt or not, I didn't consider this matter a little."

The same province was established, but Yu Qian in Zhili Province was very popular. Although the three departments of Zhili Province were not yet complete, that is, the Chief Secretary, the General Affairs Department, and the Commanding Department. This provincial-level structure has just been established.

Get up, the Chief of the Third Division has just arrived.

Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu was the commander of the capital.

But Yu Qian did the work of several people by himself. Even though there were not all the staff, Yu Qian had already put them into operation as soon as the various duties were in place.

However, Liaodong Province, which is also to be established, has been making slow progress, or even no progress at all.

Li Ji, the governor of Liaodong, was originally a governor who was promoted from the supervisory censor. But the governor is different from the governor.

In other words, at least the governor at this time was not the highest official at the provincial level, but had the meaning of an imperial envoy, patrolling the people on behalf of the emperor.

Therefore, what powers a governor has depends on the mission he undertakes.

The position of governor of Liaodong was finalized by Yang Shiqi in the first year of Zhengtong, after the Ministry of War inspected Liaodong to support military affairs.

This was already a bit embarrassing.

Said it before.

Today, there are no prefectures and counties in Liaodong, only health offices.

However, the guard station is within the system of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief is responsible for the entire Liaodong military affairs. Regardless of reality and historical heritage, the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief is the local chief officer in Liaodong.

In the name of the governor of Liaodong, there is a title of "Xiang Zan Military Affairs". This means that the governor of Liaodong is different from the governors of other places and has functions similar to supervising the army.

In addition, the eunuchs guarding Liaodong also lost their temper.

It is already a tripartite stand.

Now Zhu Qizhen's strategy to upgrade the governor of Liaodong and establish a province in Liaodong has intensified the power conflict within them. This is another reason why Zhu Qizhen wants to recall Yishiha to the capital.

Yishiha and Cao Yi were both old and mature, and Li Ji was a member of Yang Shiqi, so he also knew what was right. The conflict between them was limited to a certain range.

It didn't make a big fuss or affect national affairs, but as time went on, it became hard to say.

Zhu Qizhen explained to Yi Shiha: "You have been in Liaodong for a long time, and I will not hide some things from you. If I want to defeat the thorns, I must use troops in Liaodong. Although Liaodong is bitter and cold, it is not a barren land. You went deep into Heilongjiang

Of course, we know that these places can be cultivated. Although there is only one season of income every year, it is enough to support the army. Once Nuergandusi is transformed into Liaodong Province, I can send a general to pretend that Liaodong soldiers go west without crossing.

With the vast sea, we can directly attack Mobei. If we operate in this way, Liaodong must be established as a province."

"So, I would like to express my gratitude to General Cao. Since you want to move the first guard station to the east of Qianshan Mountain, then let's move it to Jinzhou Guard."

"The Jinzhou Guard is Liaonan Prefecture and the capital of Liaodong Province. It is governed by the governor."

"If the soldiers of the guard station are not happy to join the army, the remaining soldiers of the guard station can settle in Liaonan Prefecture. As for the military affairs in Liaodong, General Cao will still be in charge of it personally. Naturally, Yang Shoufu will talk to Li Ji."

When Yi Shiha heard this, he immediately knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. Moreover, he thought even deeper, that once the Liaonan Prefecture was established, the fate of Liaodong would be in the hands of the imperial court.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were two land and water routes to Liaodong, and the land route was naturally from Shanhaiguan to Shanhaiguan. As for the water route, it was from Denglai to Liaonan. Although Liaodong's farming is now very developed, Liaodong is a military town after all. Once a war breaks out, the local food in Liaodong is

If the determination is not enough, it will naturally be transported from the rear.

Shanhaiguan is on the edge of the capital, and Liaonan Prefecture is now under the jurisdiction of civilian officials. This means that Yishiha dare not think too much, so he just thinks that he is overthinking. Yishiha said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely inform you."
