I

After the war, it was time to recount the merits.

In addition to promoting and rewarding soldiers, subsidizing martyrs, and conferring a large number of knighthoods.

Fei Chun, who was in charge of the transportation of logistics materials, was granted the title of Duke Bao of Jin Dynasty.

Fei Ruhe, who was in charge of the war situation in Hebei, was the Duke of Jin Fengzhen.

Li Zheng, who took charge of the war in Liaodong, was granted the title of Duke Xiang of Jin Dynasty.

Pang Chunlai led the cabinet, worked hard and made great achievements. Jin was granted the title of Duke of Liao.

Li Banghua assisted in the administration and restored the title of Marquis of Jishui.

Xu Ying arranged for careful work and meritorious service, and was granted the title of Marquis of Qianshan in Jin Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng, who fought consecutive battles, captured cities and territories, and took the lead in opening up the situation in Liaodong, was awarded the title of Wei Ningbo.

Wang Tingchen, who annihilated the main force of Hauge outside the Great Wall, was granted the title of Liaobo.

Zhang Tieniu, Fei Yinggon, Jiang Liang, Huang Shun, Jiang Dashan, Li Dingguo, Cao Bianjiao and others all received awards.

Even Huang Yao, who collaborated with Fei Yinggon to regain Guizhou last year, although he did not participate in the northern battle this year, is still cleaning up and consolidating the territory in Guizhou and southern Sichuan. However, he was also granted a reward and was changed from Marquis of Chengdu to Marquis of Guizhou.

Although they are both marquises and there is no distinction in rank, one-character marquis is definitely more prestigious than two-character marquis.

The same is true for Zhang Tieniu. He did not perform any extraordinary feats in this battle, but he was able to defend Tianjin effectively. He was changed from the title of Marquis of Yizhou to the title of Marquis of Ji.

Li Dingguo got a count, and Cao Bianjiao got a viscount. Anyway, there will be wars in the future, and the title will gradually increase, so who makes them junior.

When Wang Hui fought against the Yellow River, he fought bravely and fearlessly, and was awarded the title of Uncle Gangyi by the Jin Dynasty.

Yang Zhenqing, who had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in Liaodong, was granted the title of baron this time, but it was not a hereditary title.

The titles of most other generals are hereditary. The three generations were demoted one level, as long as they were not all short-lived ghosts, from dukes to commoners, which would be enough for their descendants to be prosperous for two to three hundred years.

Of course, apart from raising the land limit and granting land in one go, the titles of the Datong court had no special treatment.

This year, an inventory was conducted in the south to reclassify land classes. Upper field, middle field and lower field cannot be changed anymore to prevent the noble class from fishing in troubled waters.

Zhao Han gave out more than 40 titles at once, and finally stopped searching.

The Duke only granted four titles, which was really generous.

After all, Fei Ruhe was young and could continue to fight. Whenever he was granted the title of king, he would be transferred back to Nanjing and serve as a central military minister in the Governor's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, please establish Liaodong Province." This is what Pang Chunlai was talking about.

Li Banghua hesitated to speak. Due to Pang Chunlai's face, he wanted to object but did not speak out.

Zhao Han smiled and said: "Li Ge, please speak frankly."

Li Banghua said: "North Zhili and Liaodong were severely harmed by the Tatars. Natural disasters and wars have only subsided for many years. I feel that it is too early to establish provinces. We can set up administrative officials, but temporarily place them under the jurisdiction of Shandong. Shaanxi is also under the jurisdiction of Shandong. So, since Shaanxi is connected to Gansu, Shaanxi and Gansu can be made into one province."

"allow!"

Zhao Han had already thought about this and said: "When the population of North Zhili and Liaodong returns to one million, provinces will be established. By then, North Zhili will be changed to Hebei Province, and Liaodong will be changed to Liaoning Province." . Shaanxi and Gansu will also wait until the population recovers before they are separated."

This is a policy based on reality. The population is too small to establish a province, and the finances have to support a whole team. It is really unnecessary.

As for Gansu and Ningxia, during the Ming Dynasty, these places were under the jurisdiction of the military department of Shaanxi.

After Tian Younian took office, Song Yingxing had already joined the cabinet as prime minister. He suggested: "We should speed up the immigration from the north, and the newly expanded areas must enrich the population, otherwise the border will be unstable."

Li Banghua said: "Although the southern provinces have a large population, they cannot withstand continuous immigration. What's more, the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang are still immigrating to Taiwan, Qiongzhou and Luzon. Large-scale immigration in these years not only consumes the court's money and food, but also Let the southern provinces be depopulated.”

Zhao Han said: "It's not that there is a population shortage in the south, but it is certainly not as large as before."

"It can encourage childbirth," Pang Chunlai said. "First, if a man is twenty and a woman is eighteen but unmarried, an additional Dingkou tax will be levied; second, for a period of twenty years, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, all those who are twelve years old will go to the government If you report your registration, you can get five taels of silver."

Zhao Han couldn't help but laugh and said: "Marriage between men and women is entirely voluntary, so there is no restriction on them. When you reach the age of twelve, you can be rewarded with one tael of silver when you register and register. This will not only stimulate fertility, but also allow the people to take the initiative Register your children's household registration. Twenty years is too long, so let's make it fifteen years."

China under Zhao Han was much better than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Historically, the population in the early Qing Dynasty was terrible. The Qing government didn't care much about it. They just issued policies to encourage immigrants to reclaim wasteland. When implemented, they were completely laissez-faire. In a hundred years, the population had not doubled.

Let’s not even talk about Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty. It was uninhabited for thousands of miles. Let’s talk about Shandong in the early Qing Dynasty.

To what extent was the population shortage in Shandong in the early years of Kangxi? The tenants could eat at the same table as the landlord, but the landlord had to coax the tenants and not dare to treat them harshly, otherwise there would be no one to help farm the land.

After detailed discussions with the cabinet, Zhao Han finalized a plan for next year's immigration plan.

Sichuan will immigrate at least 100,000 people to Shaanxi by the end of next year. Jiangxi and Hunan each immigrated 50,000 to Hebei. Southern Jiangsu and southern Anhui each moved 30,000 people to Liaoning.

Although Liaoning Province has not yet been formally established, the administrative divisions have been basically finalized, namely the circle surrounded by the Liao Great Wall. It basically overlaps with the territory of Liaoning Province in later generations, except that Jianchang, Jianping, Chaoyang, Beipiao, Fuxin, Zhangwu, Xinmin, and Changtu are missing. Most of these places are now occupied by Mongolian herders.

Li Banghua pointed to the map and said: "The remaining mountains in the eastern part of Yanshan Mountain and the edge of the grassland here. I asked the people in Liaodong, they can all farm. The Mongols here are also half-cultivating and half-grazing. The Great Wall is not enough to defend, Liaoning Province The territory must be expanded beyond the Great Wall. Order the frontline soldiers to quickly capture these areas. Next year, one-third of the immigrants from Liaodong will move there to cultivate. Han people and Mongolians should be mixed, intermarriage should be encouraged, and intermarriage should be encouraged, supplemented by education. merit."

What Li Banghua meant was to make the territory of Liaoning Province exactly the same as Liaoning Province hundreds of years later.

This is not a coincidence, but for political and military purposes.

The Mongols there can be completely assimilated because they have already been part-farming and part-grazing. Especially in mountainous areas, there are more Mongolians who make a living by farming than by herding.

As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the residents in those places were actually mainly Han people, and some areas were under the jurisdiction of the Duoyan Sanwei.

After Zhu Di seized the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of kings guarding the border could no longer be maintained. Coupled with some other reasons, they voluntarily gave up those lands and carried out all-round contraction of border defense. After the Tumubao Incident, the Mingbao Zong ordered the Ming Dynasty to be wiped out, so more and more Mongolians moved south, occupying the territory abandoned by Zhu Di.

Zhao Han never thought about killing all the Mongolians and Jurchens, but he had to live with the Han people and receive school education. Mongolians who rarely or never herd animals have their own Chinese names after learning to speak Chinese. How are they different from real Han people?

Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were many Chinese Mongolians and Chinese Jurchens in Liaodong.

Pang Chunlai lay on the map and took a closer look: "After these areas are assigned to Liaoning, prefectures and counties should be established. The sooner they are established, the better. If any Mongolian leader dares to resist, then troops will be sent to capture and kill him! Also, according to Wang Tingchen Report, there are many Han slaves among these Mongolian tribes. All Han slaves will be released as civilians, and wherever they can farm, they will be given fields to the Han people. Where they cannot farm, they will be given pasture!"

It is indeed better to get it done as soon as possible, because the strength of these Mongolian tribes was greatly damaged by the war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Mongols who defected and dedicated their city in Liaoyang were all from the Mongolian tribes in that area. Their dedication to the city was true, but they had committed many crimes by robbing and killing Han people in the past, so there was no need to indulge in everything.

Not convinced?

Then you start a rebellion!

Li Banghua said: "In another five years, we will continue to immigrate to enrich the population and consolidate the imperial rule in Liaoning. By then, we will be able to send troops northward to completely conquer the Harqin and Horqin Mongolia."

In particular, one-third of the territory of the Karaqin Mongolia was included in the territory of Liaoning, so they did not dare to have any objections.

The Manchu Qing's rule over Mongolia was divided into three types: Eight Banners Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. Divide the Mongolian pastures into pieces, let the various Mongolian ministries check and balance each other, and let vested interest groups suppress those who are not.

This approach was very effective when the Manchu troops were strong, but many Mongols accumulated resentment.

In this battle, the Manchus lost and conflicts immediately broke out.

The Datong imperial court directly established prefectures and counties. At least in arable areas, it is very useful to set up prefectures and counties, and there is no need to go through the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

As for the grasslands further north, we have to think of another way, maybe we can learn from the Manchus.

The tenth month of the lunar calendar.

The wheat in Liaodong has been harvested and put into warehouses, and a lot of it was distributed to the people, and a lot of military rations were left.

The distribution of land after registration in Liaodong has been basically completed. Firstly, the population is small, making it easier to count; secondly, people take the initiative to register, and with household registration, they can allocate fields.

Including Jurchens and Mongols who were not classified as prisoners of war, Liaoning had a total population (over twelve years old) of 540,000. There are also more than 30,000 Jurchens and Mongolians who are classified as prisoners of war and their families. They cannot be officially registered for the time being, and they are all thrown to mine in the mountains of Northeast China. They could atone for their sins by doing labor camps. If they were lucky and were still alive after working for five years, they could go to the government to apply for household registration and allocate land.

There are also some coated slaves, those who have committed the most heinous crimes, are treated like prisoners of war. The remaining coats can be settled as citizens after one year of mining.

The above does not include the Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall, otherwise the population of Liaoning should be more than 600,000.

By insisting on immigrating between 50,000 and 60,000 people every year, Liaoning's population will exceed one million in less than ten years, and by then it will be officially established as a province.

At this time, Li Zicheng's letter of surrender was sent to Nanjing: first, he requested that the imperial title be removed, and he was willing to raise the whole province of Shanxi to submit to the Datong imperial court; second, he requested that he be granted the title of King of Yinshan, and he was willing to lead his troops to the north of Yinshan to serve as a base for the Han family. Open up the grassland territory; third, request the release of captured Dashun generals such as Li Guo and Gao Yigong.
