Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

"Zhang Qing, for the wounded soldiers who fought against the Tatars this time, you have to arrange them according to the wounded soldiers' battalion booklet given by General Liu tomorrow, and take the wounded soldiers to Yulin Mansion to recuperate before dark tomorrow. Only then can I rest assured Leading the army to set off. When I return from Ningxia or Tumochuan in the future, I will definitely visit these wounded soldiers in Yulin Mansion.

In addition, all disabled people must be paid to their heads according to the pensions given by the Ministry of War.I will investigate this again.Do you understand? "

Zhang Zhihou quickly responded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of the wounded soldiers, and will also provide individual pensions for the disabled."

Zhu Youxiao nodded.Then he said: "You will soon receive an official document from the Ministry of Households on the relocation of people from Shaanxi Province to Liaodong. The specific things will be done according to the documents issued by the Ministry of Households."

Zhang Zhihou was dumbfounded, why did he suddenly want to relocate the people?He subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Zhu Youxiao answered him patiently.

"After the Yellow River passed through Shaanxi, it carried a large amount of sediment to the downstream. The deposition of sediment caused the downstream river bed to rise, the river channel to silt, and the dikes were built higher and higher. The dredging and weiring of the downstream are all temporary solutions, not the root cause, and the water volume is slightly If it is bigger, there is a danger of breaking the embankment. The best way to control the Yellow River is to reduce the sediment in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Understand? "

Zhang Zhihou, as a Jinshi on the second list, knew a little about the management of the Yellow River, so he nodded yes.But there are still many military generals around who listen to the voices. The words said by the emperor understand every word, and when they are combined together, not many can understand them.

What is the relationship between these and the migration of people to Liaodong?

Seeing that Zhang Zhihou understood, Zhu Youxiao didn't care what the generals around him thought, he continued to talk.

"After the Yellow River seized the Huaihe River and entered the sea, the embankments of the Taizu's tomb should not be moved rashly. Now Henan has floods every year. The imperial court spends millions of silver taels and hundreds of thousands of river works every year to control the Yellow River. These costs are far high. The income from farming for the common people here in Shaanxi.

Therefore, after driving the Jurchen in Liaodong to the north of Heilongjiang, Liaodong is a good place for the people to live.Nuergandusi will be rebuilt next year, and there is a large area of ​​land in Liaodong that is suitable for people to cultivate.

After finding a suitable place for the people in Shaanxi to live and work in peace, the imperial court will also rescue the people in Henan from the flood.

To fundamentally reduce the sediment entering the Yellow River, so that the Yellow River can flow smoothly into the sea in a fixed channel, it is necessary to stabilize the soil on both sides of the Yellow River.Reduce the desertified land on both sides of the Yellow River by increasing the coverage of forests and grasslands.

In the future, the area of ​​Tumochuan must reduce the amount of arable land and plant as many trees as possible.Only by greening the desert of Mu Us (Kubqi) on the south bank of the Yellow River can the amount of sediment in the middle reaches of the Yellow River be fundamentally resolved. "

Zhu Youxiao drew while speaking, and showed Zhang Zhihou and others a simple topographical drawing of the Yellow River Hetao.

"This is Tumochuan, which belongs to the former part of the East Taoli of the Yellow River. This is the Houtao Bayannaoer area of ​​Dongtao. The area to the north is Yinshan, which can stop the north wind from howling and the Mongols' war horses. "

Du Wenhuan interjected and asked: "Your Majesty, how can you prevent Meng Yuan's war horse from coming?"

"You have to lead the army to cross the Yin Mountain and burn the grassland to the north of the mountain. If the Mongols' horses can't find water for five days, they will definitely not come to the south of the Yin Mountain next year."

Du Wenhuan was stunned by the meaning of the emperor's words. He thought about it carefully. The Tatars were nomadic with water and grass. Without the grasslands, they would naturally not come here.

"Your Majesty, do you want to burn it every year?"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, "No, let's block them for a year first. Let's see if the imperial court can make a move next year. If so, we can completely wipe out Meng Yuan like today, or drive them to the north of Buriyat."

The military generals present were cheered up when they heard that, the affairs of the water and soil of the Yellow River were under the control of civil officials, and it would be worthwhile for the generals to have such a happy fight like today next year.

"Zhang Qing, what you have to do this year is to block the irrigation canals on the north bank of the Yellow River, especially this main canal, so that the cultivated fields here in front and back can be turned into horse farms for the imperial court.

"Then Tumochuan, will you still cultivate it this year?" Du Wenhuan was thinking about the fertile land of Tumochuan.

"Don't plant it, so as not to worry about Tatar autumn, come and grab it again. The imperial court has no troops to garrison Dongshengwei this year, so it can only temporarily use this method to stop Meng Yuan's cavalry."

The emperor sighed helplessly and sadly, making Zhang Zhihou unable to stand the words of the emperor.

If the north of Yinshan Mountain is so barren that there is no grassland for five days, Tumochuan in the front tao has only grass and no food, and Bayannur in the back tao has only grass and no food, and the Tatars will only come if they are crazy.

Du Wenhuan fought unwillingly, "Your Majesty, when Tumochuan was stationed in the army, there was enough food for the Yulin Guard garrison to be self-sufficient, and there was no need for the imperial court to transfer food and grass to the northwest. It is a pity that it can be recovered now, and it is a pity to give up and not grow food."

"Can you guarantee that Tatar will not come to Dongshengwei in autumn?"

Du Wenhuan was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I can't guarantee that they will not come. But I can guarantee that I will lead troops to go over the Yin Mountain to burn the wasteland once a month, and guarantee that there will be no grassland within five hundred miles for Tatars to graze.

The minister is only worried that the Tatars will come from the Helan Mountain and the Yinshan Pass, and from Houtao.Once the Tatars took control of Yuhebao in the south of Yulin Mansion with heavy and strange soldiers, the food roads in Yulin Mansion were completely cut off.Without external supplies, Yulin Mansion would definitely not be able to hold on for three months.

The minister was afraid of such a situation, so he thought about farming in Tumochuan. "

What he said was also reasonable.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while before answering him.

"Okay, if you can guarantee that you can burn the wasteland every month, you will be in the Tumochuan military camp. But the back cover must not be cultivated. The irrigation canals of the Yellow River must also be blocked."

"I'm not afraid that the irrigation canal will be blocked in the next spring. The cultivation of Tumochuan still has stagnant water in Wuliang Suhai. In the future, the imperial court will drive Meng Yuan to the north of Buriyat, so there will be no need to garrison troops here."

Hmph, that's very thoughtful.

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, which seemed to agree with what Du Wenhuan thought.

Seeing that the emperor did not object to his proposal, Du Wenhuan stood up happily and bowed to the emperor to thank him.

Zhu Youxiao made it clear what should be told to Zhang Zhihou, and he also instructed Du Wenhuan to do what should be done.Then he said to the two leaders of the Yulin guards and generals: "All the soldiers have worked hard today, so you stay in the barracks and have dinner with all the soldiers. For the dinner, I cooked some fresh horse meat that I got today. It's enough." eat.

Tomorrow, the remaining horse meat will be dried and taken away. "

These officials in the imperial tent, even if they are not so wealthy in their daily lives, there are really no people who stutter like horse meat.Sour and thick, it is the most unpalatable of all meats.But who would dare to reject the meal if the emperor left it unpalatable?They had no choice but to line up with Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua to receive their dinner. Each person had two wooden bowls, one bowl of rice and one bowl of vegetables.

Two bowls of food from the emperor were placed on the Fang Zhenghua tray on the imperial case, and the contents inside were the same as everyone else's.Just scooped out of buckets of meals.Zhu Youxiao didn't use Fangzhenghua to test the poison, he grabbed the chopsticks and ate it.I played two games in a row that day, and after being hearty, my body, which was growing tall, was already playing tricks.

Zhang Zhihou's mouth was full of sour and rough horse meat, seeing that the young emperor was obviously very hungry and was devouring the same food as everyone else, he was so sad that tears almost came down.He sniffled his nose, turned his head and saw Du Wenhuan gobbling it up like he was eating some delicacies from mountains and seas, did he just pour it into his stomach without wanting to taste it?

After dinner, Zhu Youxiao said to Du Wenhuan: "I will leave the camp to go to Ningxia Wei the day after tomorrow. The 18 imperial guards are still here at Yulin Wei, and there is no resistance in Tumochuan. Du Qing, completely clear the Tumo I will leave the matter of Mo Chuan Meng Yuan's remnants to you. Don't wait for someone to seek revenge from you or the Ming Dynasty [-] years later.

And when the south wind turns, remember to turn over the Yinshan Mountains to burn the wasteland.I look forward to your monthly memorial. "

Du Wenhuan quickly stood up and received the order.

Zhang Zhihou saw that the emperor explained the following itinerary clearly, and he and Du Wenhuan also received the order, and immediately led the civil and military officials of Yulin Wei to salute and left the imperial tent.

Let the tired emperor rest early.Zhang Zhihou's heart was full of respect and pity for the emperor, and he even complained unkindly about Guangzong, who left at the time when he was a man in his prime, and left such a big mess to his son who was not a child, let alone the emperor. The fathers of ordinary people are ashamed of their children.

When Du Wenhuan returned to the General Military Mansion, he saw that Zhao Ledjiao followed his son and brought all the military officers under Yulinwei's command over.Du Hongyu's eyes were wide open, today's battle was too enjoyable, and Guan Fumin, Zhao Lijiao and others also had the same expressions.

Du Wenhuan coughed lightly and said: "The emperor has an order to clear away the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan in Tumochuan, so as not to be revenged 18 years later. Did you all hear that?"

"heard it."

The voice of this answer was a little weak.

The Mongols who are still staying in Tumochuan are old, young, sick and disabled who cannot be killed with a horse knife.For these generals, going to Tumochuan to kill them all may not be a heroic thing.

"Okay, don't give me such an unwilling face. What are you pretending to be? Ah! Every time the Tatars raped, kidnapped, burned and killed the Han people, they didn't care about the women, children, old and weak of the Han people. We are not saints. Gentleman, don't come to Wenchen's sour stuff."

The generals who said it felt disgusted, isn't it boss that you usually like to recite poems and write lyrics, and speak some sage words?We are all playing for your fun.

Only Du Hongyu knew that his own father liked to show off military generals' money in front of civil servants, and show off civil servants' poems in front of military generals.But if he dared to expose it, even if his son started squatting, his father would beat him out of the shit.

Du Wenhuan himself felt boring.

"Okay, I'm tired today, let's go first. Remember to report all your military achievements tomorrow morning, and I will report it to the Ministry of War."

The generals immediately cheered up.For such a great military exploit, the emperor will definitely share a little bit of profit from the imperial army and give them to Yulin Guard.If you report more than you report, the emperor will never be able to argue with the Ministry of War about how many Tatars he has picked up with his guns.

On the second day, Zhang Zhihou dragged Du Wenhuan to work all morning according to the instruction manual for the placement of wounded soldiers that Liu Qu had given him.In the end, Du Wenhuan said: "The wounded soldiers are blessed this time. This is better than my previous conditions for recuperation."

Zhang Zhihou glanced at the envious Du Wenhuan, and smirked at the official Fumin.

"Help you get into the office?"

Guan Fumin smiled and backed away, this joke is not something he can participate in.

Zhang Zhihou checked again according to the manual, and borrowed all the carriages, mule carts, ox carts, and donkey carts in Yulin Mansion. Some people heard that they were going to the emperor's camp to pick up the wounded, and even their own tricycles were paved. Well, push it out and discuss it with the yamen servant.

"We just pushed some military masters who had difficulty walking and were slightly injured. They were also injured in fighting Tatars with Lord Long Live."

What I thought in my heart was that if I could see the emperor, it would be something I could brag about for several lifetimes.

What's wrong with the yamen servants, welcome.Take the wounded to the wounded barracks and settle them down early. If it snows heavily, they can go home early.

For the enthusiasm of the people, Zhu Youxiao really walked out of the imperial tent, and met Longyan for the people who braved the wind and snow to pick up the wounded. The people were so excited that they knelt down in the snow and kowtowed. Ken get up.

As a result, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to turn around and go back to the imperial tent. Only then did the common people get up, the drivers and pushers, busy with enthusiasm until almost sunset, before taking thousands of wounded into the wounded barracks.

The Marquis of Xining waited for the emperor to be free, and went up to him and said, "Your Majesty, I saw that Du Wenhuan's son, Du Hongyu, the deputy commander of the Yulin Guard, was calm-headed and decisive when he was in battle yesterday. Let's take him tomorrow. Ningxia Wei?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the Marquis of Xining.

The Marquis of Xining was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I just think this is a talented person. If you can learn from Your Majesty for a few months, Your Majesty will have many close disciples in Yulin Guard here in the future."

"anything else?"

"Anything else? No more!"

"What benefit did Du Wenhuan give you? You pull his son like this?"

"Your Majesty, he didn't give me anything. If I take a penny from him, Your Majesty will lose my title."

The Marquis of Xining immediately swore to the sky.

"Okay, since you are optimistic about him, you should take him with you first. I have to observe and observe. There is one more thing I want to remind you first. The discipline of the forbidden troops I lead is stricter than that of the border troops. What happened? , you have to sit together."

Song Guangxia bowed to the end, even sitting has a bad side and a good side.He thanked the emperor and went out of the imperial tent to Zhang Luo, immediately dispatched his personal guards, and went to pick up Du Hongyu into the camp before it was dark.

Du Wenhuan saw that the Marquis of Xining really did what he said, and there was only one sentence left to remind his son out of thousands of words.

"Kaizhi, as a father, I hope that you can be named a marquis and general, but I also hope that you can be safe and sound."

"Father, don't worry, your son will be fine. Please leave the family to father and mother to take care of."

"Don't worry, they belong to my grandson and granddaughter."

Du Hongyu brought a simple bag, led the guards with the highest martial arts skills in Yulin Mansion that his father gave him, and followed the people who came to pick him up to the Tianzi Camp.

Du Wenhuan stood on the city wall and watched his son's back in the heavy snow getting farther and farther away. The imprint of the horse's hoof seemed to be covered by the heavy snow.

His son's vague shouts were sent in the wind and snow. Although he couldn't hear what his son was shouting, he waved his hands in response.He muttered to himself: "I'll go back now, I'll go back now."

It wasn't until he could no longer see those figures clearly that he went down the tower in a complicated mood.
