As the North Sea Fleet of the Left Army, they did not participate in the Northern Expedition anymore. They selected and repaired personnel on the Liaodong Peninsula, and at the same time established a new base in Lushun.
As the main force of the Northern Expedition, the First Army will depart from Shenyang and continue northward along the east-north direction until the Nurgandus is fully restored.
Before the departure of the First Army, Zhu Youjian summoned the three commanders. He wanted to set the direction, path and end of the Northern Expedition for the First Army.
"The three generals and the Jurchens are divided into three parts. The most powerful of them is Jianzhou Jurchen, which is what we usually call Jian slaves. They themselves call the Dajin Country."
"The other two, one is located in the northeast of Jianzhou, because they are located to the west of Whale Sea, we usually call them Hercynian Jurchens. Hercynian Jurchens and Jianzhou Jurchens are almost connected together. They have been conquered by Jianzhou Jurchens. Among the Eight Banners of Jianzhou Nuzhen, there are their people."
"Your Majesty, is there another one?" Yuan Chonghuan asked Zhu Youjian while recording.
"There is another one, which is still in the fishing and hunting stage, because they lead a savage life. We call them savage Jurchens. They often pick and hunt in the woods. Some people call them people in the forest. They all refer to them. Lifestyle is very backward."
Zhu Youjian opened the marching map, "You generals, the Savage Jurchens mainly live in the north of Heilongjiang, because they are not conquered by Jianzhou Jurchens across the Heilongjiang River. On the contrary, they are closer to Daming, but Jianzhou Jurchens rise and occupy. It took Daming’s Liaodong Dusi and cut off the connection between Daming and Nurgandusi, and then the connection between Daming and Savage Nuzhen was forced to be interrupted."
"Your Majesty, the most powerful Jianzhou Jurchen has been wiped out by us, and the remaining two should not be a problem." Du Wenhuan is a short-tempered man. His heart has already flown to the battlefield.
"Wen Huan must not be careless!" Zhu Youjian sipped tea and moistened his throat. "These two Jurchens both have a certain combat effectiveness. More importantly, they are not like Jianzhou Jurchens who have already built cities and settled down. Most of them live in vast grasslands and mountain forests. The climate there is particularly cold. During this Northern Expedition, you will not only fight against people, but also fight against the sky and the earth. You must not take it lightly.
"Your Majesty, I understand! This area is very vast." Du Wenhuan was not only surprised when Zhu Youjian used his finger to draw a large area on the marching map.
Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Actually, about the Savage Jurchens, it is only a rough name. Whether they are Jurchens or the same ethnicity, they don't even know themselves. Maybe they are Han Chinese." Zhu Youzhen didn't. Paying attention to Du Wenhuan, who had wide-eyed, "So when the Northern Expedition to the Savage Jurchen and the restoration of Nurgandushi, you have to split their relationship with the Jurchen, let them merge with the Han, and it is best to re-naturalize it as a Han."
"Your Majesty, do you have to adopt different strategies for Haixi Jurchen and Savage Jurchen?" Yuan Chonghuan stopped writing and raised his head to ask Zhu Youjian.
"Chonghuan is a good question!" Zhu Youjian felt that Yuan Chonghuan was a caring person. "Haixi Jurchen is close to build slaves, and may be more resistant to Daming's army. It should be suppressed. Savage Jurchen is closer to Daming and should be comforted. Lord. Of course, no matter who they are, as long as they are sincerely willing to naturalize as Han Chinese, we will accept them. Don't kill them all. For a while, Daming will not be able to immigrate to these places."
"Your Majesty, the final will understand." Yuan Chonghuan made a mark in his notes that only he could understand.
"It's good to understand," Zhu Youjian was very pleased. "As for the governance issues after conquering these areas, I will promptly dispatch local officials to the local areas instead of simply appointing local people to manage the areas as before."
Yuan Chonghuan stopped writing again, "Your Majesty, what if the local people disobey the officials sent by the court?"
"Therefore, after the withdrawal of the army in the future, I intend to set up two provinces in the north and south of Heilongjiang. Du Wenhuan’s second army will temporarily assist the officials of the court to guard these two provinces. And Yu Chongxiao’s third army will be stationed in Liaodong in the future, only Yuan Chonghuan’s. The first army, withdraw to the capital."
"Your Majesty, we understand." The three answered in unison.
"In order to strengthen the management of the local area and close the connection between the capital and these places, the First Avenue will be extended to these places in the future. Now Sun Chengzong is building the Guangning-Shenyang section of the First Avenue. You find the tower Muwei and Ashwei, Wu's River Guard, marked on the marching map, will pass these places on the future First Avenue."
"Qita Muwei, Ashwei, Wu's River Guard?" Yuan Chonghuan touched the back of his head. He didn't know these places at all. "How does your Majesty know these places?"
"This is the sanitation station established in the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. These names are in the archives in the palace. They are relatively straight from Shenyang and suitable for building the main road." Zhu Youjian had to fool you. Yuan Chonghuan and the others would not go to the palace to look for these. data.
"Your Majesty, these names are very strange, not like Chinese names." Yuan Chonghuan wrote down these two special names.
"Therefore, I plan to change their name. Their tower is on the banks of the Yitong River, where there is rich water and grass, and the vegetation period is relatively long. Let's call it Changchun. Ashwei is on the Songhua River, and it is called Binjiang (now Harbin). Well, Wu's River Guard, it should be called Wudi Hewei, more like a Chinese name, and it will be called Wudi from now on. This will be the future government."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember it." Yuan Chonghuan marked the notepad with a new name.
"There are three more points. I will tell you in advance. First, these places are very cold in winter. You must build houses as soon as possible and store wood for the winter. The court will send you cotton-padded clothes."
"Second, the government of Nurgandus was originally located in Trin, the estuary of Heilongjiang, but the geographical location of Trin is too east. I plan to locate the government in Udi, which is the end of the First Avenue. It's also in the center. Once you find Udi, you will build a house and build a city here to prepare for the future."
"Thirdly, after you leave Shenyang, you will not be able to get supplies for a short time. Everything depends on you."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is incumbent for the soldiers to open up the frontiers and defend the land for Daming." The three of them answered Zhu Youjian together.
"Yes, you are opening up frontiers for Daming and reclaiming the land that Daming once lost." Zhu Youjian's gaze swept across the faces of the three of them. "There are no strong enemies and strong cities in the north. The artillery is heavy, so you don't need to With that, everyone will bring a flintlock and a saber to prevent the flintlock from being used smoothly in the cold regions of the north."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In order to strengthen the rule of Nurgan, Zhu Youjian couldn’t wait to instill all his historical knowledge to the three commanders of the First Army, but the generation gap between them was four hundred years, and Yuan Chonghuan certainly couldn’t fully understand it. Some of Zhu Youjian's ideas, coupled with the entry of the First Army into Nurgan, were only military intervention. The real rulers will be the civilian officials. Zhu Youjian finally stopped the conversation.
After Sun Chengzong's army took over Shenyang, Zhu Youjian's Second Army turned to the northwest, and the army headed towards Tang Harik in Horqin Mongolia.
Zhu Youjian encountered a large number of herders along the way. These herders were wary of the Han people, but there were too many troops, and they did not dare to do anything unfriendly.
When the army arrived at Tang Harik, it was already evening, and Zhu Youjian set up a large camp 30 miles south of the city.
Zhu Youzhen was about to send an envoy to the city to meet with Oba Khan, Bu Mubutai stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this envoy, there will be slaves and maidservants!"
"You?" Zhu Youjian's gaze swept from Bu Mu Butai's head to his feet, and then from his feet to his face.
Bu Mu Butai didn’t panic at all. She met Zhu Youjian’s gaze and kept a slight smile on her face. “Your Majesty, the servant’s father is Taiji of Horqin. If the servant can persuade A father , Daddy can persuade Oba to sweat."
The demeanor of some diplomats! Zhu Youzhen secretly admired, but he thought of Congyou Tuge's matter, and he was still not at ease, "How are you going to convince your father?"
"It's very simple!" Bumubutai's eyes were shining, "Dajin Nation is much stronger than Horqin, but it was destroyed by Ming. Abatai refused to surrender, and Jurchen was annihilated."
"Haha!" Zhu Youjian laughed, "This reason is indeed very good."
"Your Majesty thinks that the reason for being a servant can persuade me, Dad?"
"I don't know this!" Zhu Youjian looked at Bu Mu Butai's small white face, which became more refined in the afterglow of the setting sun. "If you add a sentence, your father will be more likely to agree. Big."
"What the hell is it? Your majesty, why didn't the slave and maid expect?" Bumbutai frowned, obviously thinking hard.
Zhu Youjian stared at Bu Mu Butai's pretty eyes, "You tell you Dad, you are already my woman, and sooner or later I will give you the name of a concubine!"
"Your... Your Majesty!" Bu Mu Butai lowered his head, and immediately greeted Zhu Youzhen with some obscene gazes expectantly, "Can the slave and maid talk to Daddy like that?"
"Of course!" Zhu Youjian answered very simply.
"The slave and maid must be able to persuade Daddy and persuade Da Khan." Bumbutai was also very neat.
"I will set a few bottom lines for you. If your father and Auba Khan agree, I will send an official messenger." Zhu Youjian stroked Bu Mu Butai's face lightly, "I Very busy, there are still many places to be conquered."
"Your Majesty does not plan to withdraw troops?"
"Withdrawal?" Zhu Youjian chuckled, "Bumbutai, it is difficult for me to get outside the customs once, and naturally I have to regain more lost ground for Daming... Anyone who does not want to surrender to Daming is an example.
"Your Majesty, the servant understands, please tell me the bottom line you set!"
"First, naturalized Daming... Speaking Chinese, learning Chinese characters, and using Chinese names, the two parties can communicate with each other in business and marriage."
