Chapter 347 The eve of unification

"According to your Majesty's wishes, the Animal Husbandry Council has made corresponding plans. The Monan Grassland will be divided into three prefectures, and prefectures and counties will be established to govern them. Animal husbandry will be the main industry, and it will serve as a place to raise livestock in the future Great Xia."

Ying Yi had long wanted to deal with the grassland, so the Pastoral Council made corresponding plans for this.

The so-called Monan Grassland is the inherent territory of the Tatars, and the Mobei that is separated from it is the territory of the Oara people, the same clan of the Tatars.

Currently, Ying Yi does not have more energy to take care of Mobei Wala, but the disposal of Monan must be put on the agenda.

There are three prefectures, named: Muxi, Muzhong and Mudong. The corresponding prefectures and counties are also divided according to the topography of the Monan grassland.

However, road transportation is not yet complete. To complete this plan, I am afraid that it will not be fully accomplished within one or two years.

For the time being, the grassland areas are mainly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of Mudong. Mudong is the land north of the Gyeonggi region, formerly occupied by the Horqin Tatars. It borders Liaodong to the east and the capital to the south, which is the most convenient.

Its road traffic problems are also linked to Liaodong, so it is given top priority.

Muzhong is currently only involved in its southern part, that is, the part of the grassland near Xuanda.

"The Korean War is about to come to an end." Ying Yi smiled and said: "Most of the captured young people will be invested in the infrastructure construction of the grasslands and Liaodong. It is expected to greatly speed up this process."

There is nothing to say about the war in Korea. With the combat effectiveness of Zhu Bingkun in the Liaodong Theater, what is the point of just North Korea?

Back then, with an army of 10,000 people, Donglu was able to defeat North Korea completely. Not to mention Ying Yi’s elite soldiers?

Since a month ago, on the pretext that North Korea sent troops to help the Eastern captives, the Liaodong Theater of Operations sent troops to attack North Korea in a large scale. Since more than a month, good news has been reported one after another. North Korea has been legally destroyed, and its capital, royal court, and clan have long been wiped out by Zhu Bingkun. Only a corner of the southern end still has resistance, and final cleanup work is underway.

The population of North Korea is not small, with tens of millions of people. Ying Yi seemed extremely ruthless in his treatment of these tens of millions of people. In Ying Yi's plan, at least half of North Korean men over the age of fourteen and under fifty would become slaves, contributing their labor force to Ying Yi for free.

The remaining population, except for the 500,000 remaining on the peninsula, will all be relocated, either to Liaodong or to Yunnan and Guizhou.

In fact, it is also because there are many wastes waiting to be done, and the manpower and material resources required for a plan are too huge. We can only use such means, otherwise it will be unsustainable.

Many courtiers resisted this and thought it was too cruel. But Ying Yi pushed hard and no one opposed it.

Today, nearly half a million Korean prisoners of war have been escorted to Gyeonggi Province, and slave labor camps are being rationed. Later, a steady stream of slaves were escorted over, so that the infrastructure construction could be carried out calmly.

"That's what happened in the Monan Grassland. It's undisputed." Ying Yi said: "In the Yunnan-Guizhou region, the post-war disposal may be more difficult."

He said: "South Vietnam and Nanyang are what I want. For the time being, I don't have more energy to take care of it. But I have to prepare for it. Therefore, the Yunnan-Guizhou border must be developed. Before moving to Korea It is not safe for millions of people to reach the Yunnan-Guizhou border. Anywhere I rule, the Han people must have the upper hand in terms of numbers and strength. Therefore, millions of people must also be moved to Yunnan-Guizhou. It is the same as the migration to Liaodong. , the plan will be drafted by the Pastoral Council first.”

Regarding Ying Yi's ambition, as an old man who followed him step by step, Zheng Yunzhi and others are well aware of it. The words Nanyue and Nanyang have come out of Ying Yi's mouth more than ten times in recent times. This shows how strong Ying Yi’s heart is.

After the founding of Daxia, when Yuan Qi is restored, he will definitely be the first to launch troops against Nanyang and South Vietnam. They knew deeply that Ying Yi valued Nanyang even more than Tibet and territory. At least for the time being.

The emphasis on the navy and the immigration of people to the border areas are all evident.

The various matters involved put tremendous pressure on the Pastoral Council. However, when the old and the new change, everything is being reshaped, so it is not difficult to do it. It’s just that the workload is too large and it won’t be completed in a while.

In October, the weather is already chilly.

At this time, Jiangnan has been decided.

Before sending troops, the Pastoral Council and the Royal Court had made complete preparations. As the army swept across, government and legal officials followed up and quickly completed actual rule.

Of course, the south of the Yangtze River is vast, and it will take at least until next summer to truly build up the entire southern governing body and get all the officials in place.

However, elite areas, such as Yingtian and Jiangdong areas, have completed this process as quickly as possible. In other places, you can slow down a bit.

Just as Jiangnan's new policies and laws were implemented, the war in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan also began. In fact, as Yan Ermei expected, with the pacification of Jiangnan, Sichuan and Shu no longer had any intention of resisting. Both Chen Shiqi and Qin Liangyu knew that the situation was over.

Under the envoy's advice, in order to prevent the war from spreading to the people, Chen Shiqi surrendered and calmly accepted Ying Yi's rule.

However, Chen Shiqi's surrender does not mean that the powerful classes in Sichuan and Shu have surrendered. Fortunately, there is a large army to suppress the battle. Before the end of the year, the gentry in Sichuan and Shu areas except southern Sichuan will be subdued and wiped out. With the implementation of new laws and new policies, Sichuan and Shu began to enter the Yingyi era.

The army set off to southern Sichuan and began the work of clearing out the chieftains in southern Sichuan.

On the eve of the opening of the war, the Qian Yue Division of the Western Theater Command and the Zheng Jiu Division of the Northwest Theater Command jointly launched a military expedition against Tibet and Hui areas.

At this stage, the unification of the world is already visible. The voices of the private gentry, civil and military officials persuading people to move forward are getting louder and louder, and the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom is just around the corner.

Ying Yi is very patient. No matter how loud his advice is, he remains unmoved. Now, for him, there is essentially no big difference between King Xia and Emperor Xia. Of course, the difference is only in the name of the instrument.

He said that if China is not unified, it will not reach the top. Today, Yunnan and Guizhou are still in the stage of conquering, Tibetan Hui has not yet come to an end, and the territory is still isolated. There is also Yizhoutai Island, which has not yet begun to be recovered. Many things have just begun, and there is no need to rush to the throne.

He is more concerned about all aspects of new laws, new policies and infrastructure construction in various places, and is more concerned about the upcoming grassland planning and resettlement plans.

Of course, in addition to government affairs, the military attaches no less importance.

Jiangnan is established, and the subsequent military finishing work will naturally be done by Jiangnan Theater Zhou Li. The navy entered the reorganization process after the war - the captured Fujian Navy and Dongting Navy were part of it.

The Navy previously only had 48,000 troops in one theater, but this was far from enough. To conquer Nanyang and defend the long coastal defense line, more troops are needed. What's more, Yizhoutai Island must be completely recovered before the founding of the country.

The navy must be strengthened—reorganized and expanded. At the same time, the research and manufacture of new warships has also been included in Yuanqi Palace's procedures. And a second shipbuilding industrial zone will be established on the southeast coast.
