"Zheng Zhichang's family members who were exiled to the islands should be recalled immediately."
“Those who have been enslaved by the government should be restored to normal life.”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face to see my old friends."
“That’s how it should be,” Kim Boo-seok said.
As for Zheng Zhichang's wives, concubines, and daughters,
Has she already slept with some powerful and influential people?
Everyone automatically ignores this and doesn't discuss it.
...
Zhang Shuye was also promoted.
He was transferred back to the central government from Shandong.
He served as the Privy Councilor.
In this year's military reforms,
The Grand Marshal's Office and the Privy Council were formally merged.
Privy Councilor: Zhao Yuan.
Deputy Privy Councilor: Zhang Tang.
Zhang Shuye was appointed to the Privy Council.
Wang Bing and Wang Yuan were appointed as co-administrators of the Privy Council.
Signatory to the Privy Council: Yang Weizhong and Yang Zhi.
Although Yang Zhi was transferred back to the capital,
Both his military achievements and seniority are sufficient.
But he struggled with paperwork.
We must learn and gain experience from our seniors.
Zhang Guangdao and Li Bao are both at the front lines.
If they return to Beijing
The Privy Council is definitely ranked high.
And Zhang Shuye
If it weren't for his lack of seniority in the new Ming Dynasty...
He's qualified enough to be the Privy Councilor.
This person served as a local chief official and assistant official.
He served as an official in three provinces, an interpreter, and an official in the Six Ministries.
He also served as a frontier governor.
He promoted six archers.
Having fought bandits in Shandong,
They also fought against the Jin soldiers.
He even built Xi'an, the capital city of Xi'an, to defend against the Western Xia.
It can be said that Zhang Shuye was familiar with everything from the central government to local authorities.
From civil affairs to military affairs, every aspect.
But Yang Zhi, a pure military general...
He would actually be better suited to serve in the Twelfth Office of the Privy Council.
Chapter 3113 The Four Commanderies of Hanzhong
For example, the rooms on the north side of the Privy Council.
Now he is in charge of military affairs in Shanxi and Hebei.
For example, the Hexi branch of the Privy Council.
He is now in charge of military affairs in Shaanxi.
The heads of these offices
This is equivalent to a key minister who has full control over a war zone.
There is also a Privy Council reading room.
Responsible for the recruitment and training of the entire army.
He also oversaw the grain transport troops, post stations, and relay stations throughout the country.
After Zhang Shuye entered the Privy Council
The first suggestion made was
It means transferring Zhe Yanzhi to Goryeo.
Commander of the two Ming armies stationed in Goryeo
He served as the direct superior of Li Cheng and Zhao Li.
The reason is simple,
Li Cheng and Zhao Li have a personal feud.
Zhang Shuye, who served as the top official in Shandong for a long time, knows this best.
Zhe Yanzhi knew both of them.
There was also a cousin who married the emperor as a concubine.
This is enough to suppress and ease the conflict between the two.
Zhao Yuan really hadn't expected this.
They quickly agreed to Zhang Shuye's suggestion.
Therefore, Zhe Yanzhi became the highest-ranking military officer of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Goryeo.
He excitedly took his wife and children by boat to Pyongyang.
Upon meeting Xu Kangzong,
After exchanging pleasantries,
Zhe Yan questioned, "May I ask, Lord Xu, what are the details here?"
Xu Kangzong recounted in detail:
"From here to the Yalu River,"
"There are three largest cities,"
"They are Pyongyang, Anju, and Boju respectively."
"Pyongyang and Anju were completely looted by the Jin army,"
"The dead are everywhere, and no one is there to help them."
"They also rose up in rebellion,"
"But they had no soldiers or armor, and were defeated by the Goryeo court,"
"Many fled into the mountains and became bandits,"
"They survived by digging up grass roots and gnawing on tree bark."
"And Baozhou and the six cities east of the Yangtze River,"
More than half of the people are of the Bohai ethnic group.
"These Bohai people, soldiers and civilians,"
"They were taken to Liaodong by the Jin soldiers,"
"To increase the population in Liaodong."
“Pyongyang, Anju, and Boju are all suitable for farming,”
"The population was sparse after this battle."
"I have already submitted a memorial offering my advice,"
"The first step in conquering Goryeo,"
"They're transferring tens of thousands of shi of grain over,"
"To provide relief to the surviving people of Pyongyang and Boju."
"The second step is to divide our troops and station them in Anzhou,"
"To provide relief to the surviving people of Anju."
"It is estimated that when the troops are divided and moved away,"
"Six or seven tenths of the people in Anzhou have starved to death."
"The third step is to bring the families of the troops stationed in the three locations,"
"They migrated here and were given land."
"It's all fertile land,"
"Divide the land according to population,"
"Each person should have at least thirty mu (approximately 2 hectares) of land."
"The higher the military rank, the more land the family members are allocated."
"A family of four, starting at 120 mu,"
"Even a lowly soldier can become a landlord."
"The fourth step was to recruit immigrants from Shandong,"
"As long as they're willing to come,"
"Each person who settles here will receive 15 mu of land."
"These four steps will ensure that there are 100,000 Han people around the three cities,"
"And all of them have fertile land to cultivate."
"Of course, we also need to appease the local powerful clans,"
"To confirm the allocation of land to those powerful clans,"
“Give them some more privileges in doing business.”
"Another key is to win over the hearts of the common people,"
"Most of the common people here have no surnames."
"Without a surname, there is no land,"
"They can only be tenant farmers, serfs, and servants."
"The imperial court may use the surnames of His Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Princess,"
“Give it to these nameless commoners,”
"Give them another acre or two of land, no matter what."
Chapter 3114 The Method of Subduing Goryeo
"Local residents will definitely be eager to register their residency."
"From this day forward, I will consider myself a subject of the Great Ming Dynasty."
