I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 221 Xinghe Mansion

"En!" Geng Ruqi responded, still a little uneasy, and asked a question, saying:
"Then Hedan Bateer's department should have lost a lot. Is there still a population of over [-]?"

Geng Zhanghua didn't know that there were too many officials' dead bodies in the imperial court, oh!No, the vegetarian one isn't the worst.

There are also many officials who don't do human affairs themselves, do what they don't do, and trip up their colleagues who are doing serious work whenever they have the opportunity.

His father was really tricked once, if it wasn't for that strange Huang Yi who suddenly appeared, his father might have lost his life.

Once bitten, twice shy!His father is so cautious, Geng Zhanghua understands, he said in an unquestionable tone:

"Yes! Don't worry, the population of Hedan Bateer's department can stand the inspection. If the patrol censor has the guts, you can go there to see for yourself."

"Forget it! Those people are only capable in the nest, how dare they go out and show their prestige!
As long as this matter is true, the credit even exceeds the beheading of thousands. "

Politics is so important. It's not that the Ming Dynasty didn't want to win over the Mongolian tribes, but that it was unable to do so. Of course, the more reason was that there was no sense of trust among civil officials and generals.

This situation became even more out of hand after Yuan Chonghuan pretended to kill Mao Wenlong.

At the very least, Zu Dashou had learned badly and learned well, no matter what the situation, he would never leave his team, and the emperor would always use various untenable reasons to shirk his summons.

However, the bullying Chongzhen had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it. He didn't dare to shorten Liao's salary, and even gave Zu Dashou an official promotion.

Nowadays, is there anyone in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who cares about Jiannu conquering the Mongolian tribes one after another?
Any civilian or military general with a little bit of knowledge can realize that Jiannu ruled Monan, and the side wall must be full of wars.

Geng Ruqi was a great official in frontiers, of course he believed that the political purpose of conquering a large Mongolian tribe was greater than the military effect of killing thousands of Mongolian Tartars, so he affirmed it.

As for whether the imperial court gave the leader Hedanbaatar the title of Taiji of the Ujumqin Department, it is simply not worth mentioning.

"Yes! Huang Yi and I analyzed it in the same way. Dad! How are you going to repay your merits?" Geng Zhanghua asked.

Geng Ruqi said: "You have people surround all the gains and tell you not to make any noise, you must have an idea!"

"I think you have a Ujumqin tribe who swore allegiance to my Ming Dynasty. The credit for beheading is really superfluous!"

"Well! Speak your mind, don't hesitate."

"I think as long as any civilian or military general is willing to donate money and food, we can give up most of the beheading work."

"Selling an official title?"

"Don't say it so harshly! You can understand it as giving aspiring civil and military generals a good chance to be promoted.

Huang Yi's base area needs too much money and food, and there is not enough food, and 2 to [-] people may starve to death before the autumn harvest next year.

This is what everyone needs and what they need, and it is also to relieve the people from hanging upside down! "

"You and I don't need to say such beautiful words, alas! The situation is stronger than others, and it is really urgent to get money and supplies, so don't worry about those false names!"

Geng Ruqi declared that the position of Governor-General had not been warmed up yet, so he didn't want to be promoted and transferred immediately.

Therefore, Geng Zhanghua's suggestion of money and food instead of credit immediately moved Geng Ruqi's heart.

There is also a reason for a feudal official who wants to promote the civil and military generals in his jurisdiction.

In a special environment, military exploits are the most convincing!
If you want to rely on military merits to get to the top, the first rank is very important, and you must stand the test!

Geng Ruqi pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Hurry up and drive the carriage to the barracks, and send someone to watch over it, and don't leak the news!"

Geng Zhanghua also suggested: "I don't think the credit should be monopolized by Xuanda's civilian and military generals!"

Geng Ruqi is already thinking about this issue. With so many beheadings, the impact is too great. Of course, Xuan Da should not be allowed to dominate.

Those who are in the officialdom must remember that Mu Xiuyu and Lin Feng will definitely destroy him. Geng Ruqi, who has suffered a big loss, of course has a long memory, and only by keeping a low profile can he go far.

He said confidently: "I understand, I think the civil and military generals under Governor Ji Liao's command will be interested."

Seeing his father's cooperation, Geng Zhanghua couldn't help laughing, and said:

"The price can't be lowered. The soldiers sacrificed their lives for it. I have already asked the Li family to contact the buyer and let the wind out."

Geng Ruqi didn't want to be promoted to the ranks for the sake of money and food, of course he was willing to lose face, in order to build a strong army that could forcibly overthrow the slaves, he could even be shameless.

He expressed his position: "Huang Yi's base needs life-saving money and food, of course, the highest price will get it, and there is no need for more than three times the imperial court's reward!"

"Alas!" Geng Zhanghua sighed, and said, "People are more angry than others!"

"What's wrong? What are you feeling?"

"Huang Yi built a base city with a circumference of nine miles, and it took a year to take shape.

We built Dongshan Fort, which is only five miles in circumference, but it has not come in handy so far. "

Of course, Geng Ruqi knew the progress of the construction of Dongshan Fort, so he made several angry outbursts about it, but seeing the midwinter approaching, he definitely couldn't count on it this year.

He said: "This kind of thing can't be rushed, and it will be good to be able to cultivate next autumn!"

"Father, don't be too optimistic. I suggest that Huang Yi should be in charge of repairing the Dongshan Fort, and hand over the allocated money and food, civilian husbands, and guards. He has plenty of ways to make people work hard!"

"This is completely feasible. Huang Yi was originally defending Dongshan Fort! He was not allowed to manage the repair of the city because he was going to Gyeonggi to participate in the recovery of the four cities."

"There are many basins that can be reclaimed near Dongshan Fort. I think it's much closer to the side wall, and it's safer than the base!"

"Well! That's the reason. If we reclaim all the water-dependent land within 30 miles of Dongshan Fort, there will probably be [-] to [-] mu."

"It's dangerous outside the pass, but there is too much land, and it's still unclaimed land. If we really expand the land for two hundred miles outside the side wall, it's no problem to have millions of acres of fertile land!"

"So a strong army that can fight and dare to fight is the most important thing, otherwise everything is just fantasy!"

"Huang Yi said that as long as the base area has enough population, he can train most of the young and middle-aged men and some healthy women into militiamen capable of defending the country.

The reason why the Tartars are difficult to fight is because all the people are soldiers, and so will the base areas in the future.

The soldiers and civilians in the base area still have cities to defend, and the Tartars and Jiannu will definitely not get any bargains! "

"Hey! It's not easy! By the way, the base city has begun to take shape, why didn't it have a name?"

"Yeah! It's awkward to always call it based on the city, Dad, why don't you help me come up with a good name!"

Geng Ruqi thought for a moment, began to adjust the schoolbag, shook his head and said:

"The location of the base was once under the rule of the Xinghe Mansion during the Taizu period of our dynasty, and it should have been the place where Xinghe guarded thousands of households.

What do you think the base city is called Xinghe City? "

"Very good! It is very possible for you, the governor of Xuanda, to restore the Xinghe Mansion in the Taizu period and leave behind a famous achievement!"

"The restoration of Xinghe Mansion can only be imagined in a dream. It is not easy to restore Xinghe Shouyu Qianhusuo!"
