I

Throwed into a prison, Khabarov was interrogated again.

When I was in Heilongjiang, the military was interrogating, mainly asking for some military information. After arriving in Nanjing, it was the Criminal Department who was interrogating, mainly interrogating the evil deeds they committed separately.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Huan, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, sent the results of the interrogation, "This Khabarov killed more than a thousand people and looted more than four hundred people in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River areas alone. Not counted. The victims are mainly Daur, Sakhalian and Huerha indigenous people. These tribes belong to the Jurchen in the north and the Jurchen in the East China Sea, and should be under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Dusi. The ministries have not been officially canonized."

To put it simply, the people killed by Khabarov temporarily belonged to the puppet Qing people in name. But the puppet Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, and they are afraid to come out in the Ninggu Tower. These people should automatically become the people of Datong, but the Heilongjiang Metropolis has not really been formed.

In a word, the emperor can do whatever he says, and no matter how he disposes of it, it is reasonable and legal.

Song Yingxing, chief assistant, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, after the establishment of the Heilongjiang capital, the front and rear banners of Guoerluosi should be changed to Guoerluosi's avant-garde and rear guard. The commander of Guoerluosi's rearguard, I feel that Bumba is too old. It should be replaced by a young and promising Mongolian leader."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "What Song Qing said is absolutely true."

Those who came to Beijing with the Cossack prisoners also had two letters of complaint from the Northeast.

One letter was written by Wang Fuchen, saying that he led troops through Bumuba's territory, and the old guy would charge money for everything, and he only accepted money but not military tickets, and he even refused to send a few Mongolian cavalry to help in the battle.

One was written by Li Zheng, saying that the post road from the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty to the grassland had been dredged (the route was very short), and that next year he could go to Harbin to establish the Heilongjiang capital office. However, Harbin belongs to Bumba's territory, even if it is not the core area, this old guy is unwilling to give it up.

Song Yingxing said it very euphemistically just now, but there was a bloody smell in the words-send troops to kill him, so he is convinced!

Lu Xiangsheng clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, when the Puppet Qing Dynasty enshrined the Guo Erluo tribe, they not only divided the Mongolian tribe into two, but also attached it to the Horqin Left Wing. They often plunder the Guoerluosi Department, but they also regard the Guoerluosi Department as a subsidiary. Once we send troops to the Guoerluosi Rear Banner, we must consider the reaction of the Guoerluosi Front Banner, as well as the reaction of Horqin’s left-wing Mongolia.”

Yuan Yunlong asked: "Lu Shangshu doesn't suggest sending troops?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "Of course we must send troops, but we can't just use troops against Guoerluosi. After the snow melts in spring next year, all other troops in the Northeast will be dispatched except for the tribes stationed in Jianzhou. Choose an elite army and go straight to Guoerluosi. The rear banner killed Bumba and set up another leader. The rest of the ministries, with envoys, threatened Horqin Left Wing and Guoerluosi Front Banner. While making these Mongolian tribes dare not interfere, they took the opportunity to canonize them too!"

Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the map and said: "Everything is canonized according to the pseudo-Qing method, but the name needs to be changed. The Guoerluosi front banner is changed to Guoerluosi avant-garde. The front, middle and rear banners of the Horqin left wing are changed to the Horqin left wing front, Central and rear guards. Zalaite Banner and Duerbert Banner are changed to Zalaite Guard and Durbert Guard. The commanders of each guard are all named Dukes of the state. Even some can be crowned kings. The higher the title, the more It is difficult to annex each other. If there is a difference in title, they will attack each other."

The entire Horqin Mongolia was forcibly divided into ten banners by the Qing Dynasty, collectively referred to as the "Ten Banners of Nenjiang".

These ten flags are not of one mind.

For example, the Guoerluo Department, which nominally belongs to the Horqin Department, has long been semi-independent. Man Qing is also happy to see the results, the deeper the contradiction the better, so as not to unite and unanimously external.

Zhao Han basically agreed with Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion. He drew a circle on the map and said, "From Anle Prefecture to the east of the Great Wall, to the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government Office (Harbin), the grassland along the way will be changed to the capital directly under the jurisdiction. Anyone who does not want to fight Say it again!"

This is tantamount to placing Siping, Huaide, Changchun, Jilin, Dehui, Fuyu, Zhaoyuan, Harbin... many Horqin Mongolian territories under the direct jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government, and the Mongols living there are also directly ruled by the Metropolitan Government.

In this way, the passage from Liaoning to Heilongjiang Dusi can be guaranteed, but it will inevitably arouse the resistance of the Horqin Mongolian tribe.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, there are two types of direct control. One is managed by Han officials, and the other is managed by Mongolian officials. In the grassland area, it may be difficult for Han officials to control, so it is better to hand over to Mongolian officials. These are the ones drawn by Your Majesty. In other places, you can select prestigious Mongols and give them official positions and titles. In this way, the entire southern tribes on the left wing of Horqin, those canonized leaders will stand on the side of the court for their own interests."

Zhao Han clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Those southern Mongolian tribes will not only stand on the court's side, but will also be regarded as traitors by the northern tribes. From now on, they can only obey the orders of the Heilongjiang capital!"

Chen Maosheng also spoke: "After the war is over next year and the chieftain and commander canonize. From the Mongols to the Jurchens, the leaders of various ministries must send their sons to Nanjing to study. Let them know the power of China, let them learn to speak Chinese, Wearing Hanfu will influence the customs and culture of the Han family to all parts of the Northeast."

Fei Chun said: "Tribes after enfeoffment can relax trade controls. Except for weapons that cannot be traded, food is allowed to be traded among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, mutual trade was banned at every turn, not only failed every time, but also aroused Mongolian rebellion. "

"After the liberalization of trade, merchants will inevitably buy a large amount of grain and sell it to the grasslands in order to make profits," Liu Ziren reminded.

Fei Chun said with a smile: "As long as the inspectors don't rot, the merchants can sell the grain. If the inspectors are rotten, it is forbidden to transport grain to the north, which will make it more profitable for merchants to smuggle grain. Moreover, the entire Northeast is not How much food is produced, the military rations have to be supplemented by purchasing from North Korea and Japan.”

Zhao Han said: "The tribes that have already been confiscated can try to open up the grain trade, and if there is a problem, then tighten it."

Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, there is another thorny issue. The immigrants organized this year are only willing to go to Jianzhou as far as they go. They will not go further north or east. Two months ago, a wave of immigrants almost made trouble. When there was a disturbance, after walking a few miles to the east of Jianzhou City, they refused to go on the road again. The officials in charge of immigration could only discuss with General Hu (Hu Dinggui) to resettle the immigrants in the nearest Jianzhou territory."

"This problem is indeed very difficult, and I am also thinking of a solution." Zhao Han felt very embarrassed.

The main thing is that the people under Zhao Han's rule are living a very good life. In addition to encountering major family accidents and losing food and money in an instant, people will basically no longer starve to death, and they can barely survive by eating sweet potatoes all day long.

Since you can live in the south, why do you want to immigrate to a place of bitter cold?

No matter how generous the imperial court's immigration policy is, the western and southern parts of Jilin Province in later generations have reached the limit acceptable to immigrants. Continue east and north, sorry, not to die!

When troubles arise, instead of daring to suppress them, the immigration officials have to coax them.

Because every immigrant shipped to the Northeast, the court spent a lot of money. Brutal suppression is easy, and it will inevitably be blamed by the Ministry of Households afterwards, because it will hurt the achievements and money of the Ministry of Households.

Zhao Han said: "From Anlezhou to Heilongjiang Dusi, there must be immigrants along the way to increase the number of Han people. In these places, the treatment of immigrants has been improved again. As long as they migrate there, they will not have to pay taxes for 20 years, and the land that each person can get is less. We need to increase. As for other places that are too remote, we don’t want to relocate good people, but instead relocate prisoners to force immigration. Those who have been imprisoned for more than five years, as long as they are willing to immigrate, not only can their crimes be pardoned, but they can also be settled immediately and allocated land!”

Guo Shunyu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The emperor set the tone, and the future immigration policy in the Northeast was established.

Normal immigration, as far as Hetuala.

Harbin, Changchun and other places have extremely favorable immigration policies, and they will not have to pay taxes for 20 years. The Han immigrants here will be the core of Heilongjiang's rule.

Further afield, all criminal immigration. Criminal immigration, not exile! There is a huge difference between the two. The death rate in exile is extremely high, but criminal immigrants are properly resettled-Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for a large number of criminals when he immigrated in the Northeast, and almost all the postmen in remote post stations were criminals.

These criminals are basically men. If they want to find a wife, they have to communicate with the aborigines and marry the local aboriginal women as wives. As long as they are hardworking and willing to work, the natives are of course willing to marry a daughter, as long as they give more food as a dowry.

In this way, it can also promote ethnic integration in the Northeast.

The imperial court personally ended the policy of laboriously organizing immigration, and it would be fine for a few more years.

Next, let them reproduce naturally. After two or three generations, when the population becomes dense, they will inevitably develop spontaneously. After the reclamation of the nearby barren mountains and wasteland is completed, they will slowly move towards the "land of barbarians" and continue to integrate with the local ethnic minorities.

I believe that after a hundred years, the influence of the Han people will at least reach the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.

As for the middle and upper reaches of Heilongjiang, I am afraid that the chieftain will have to govern until the emergence of railways and trains. Those places are too far away, and the backward traffic conditions do not allow it.

The cabinet ministers resigned and planned in detail the dispatch of troops and immigration next year. The emperor did not need to worry about these details.

Before leaving, Xiao Huan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, asked: "How should the Raksha captives be dealt with, please tell your Majesty clearly."

"The crime is heinous, all will be executed!"

As he said that, Zhao Han added: "The leader of the Rakshasa Khabarov, bring him here, I want to see him in person."

The Cossack leader was summoned, of course, to inquire about Russia.

The people below didn't know what to ask about many things, and Zhao Han couldn't explain clearly to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.
