The former Liaodong Corps led by Su Jue, now the Fifth Corps, is the famous main combat corps in the Ming army.

His predecessor was a member of the main force of the Restoration Army who followed Su Jue and Sun Ziyi to attack the Jin army in Yanyun area, and he had a lot of combat experience.

Later, Wanyan Yong established another Jin regime in the Liaodong region, which was Su Jue who led the Fifth Corps to destroy Wanyan Yong. Later, facing the nomadic peoples and Jurchen remnants of the Liaodong region, Su Jue wiped them out through more than 70 battles of all sizes and scattered them all over the past few years.

The semi-civilized or uncivilized fishing and hunting people living in the Xing'anling and Ussuri River areas are actually quite powerful, and they are familiar with the terrain. They are very hostile to the emergence of the Ming army, resist the death and do not communicate with the Ming army at all.

After several efforts, Su Jue had to give up the method of mercy and turn to iron-sperm removal.

Facts have proved that iron-sperm removal is more useful.

After a year of clearance, some tribes that were unwilling to communicate with the Ming army began to take the initiative to communicate with the Ming army, but at that time, the Ming army had completely gained an advantage in Liaodong.

The Ming army sent a ranger team to launch a non-stop harassment and combat against the hostile tribes, burning the woods with tinder oil, blowing up their bases with powerful gunpowder, and constantly building military fortresses, building cities, and reclaiming land.

In this way, the Ming army compressed and eroded their living space bit by bit, forcing them to choose to fight to the death or surrender.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Su Jue led an army to cross the sea to land on Sakhalin Island, a large island in the Liaodong folk legend, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and set up Kuyezhou to manage it.

Since then, the Liaodong region was generally included in the Ming Dynasty, and Su Jue and the Fifth Corps made great contributions.

Therefore, although the Fifth Corps is not well-known in the national strategy and has not participated in many large-scale wars, the Fifth Corps has been fighting for years in Liaodong, has rich combat experience in high-latitude areas such as Northeast China, and has maintained very good combat effectiveness.

The development and control of the entire Liaodong region depend on the day and night struggle of the Fifth Corps.

After the war was basically over, the soldiers of the Fifth Corps also made a lot of contributions during the development process of Liaodong.

Many injured or older soldiers responded to the call of Su Yonglin in Zhongdu, retired on the spot, transferred on the spot, and became workers in grassroots rural areas, making great contributions to the immigration cause in Liaodong.

The reason why nearly four million people live and work in Liaodong now is that these retired soldiers have made great contributions.

In terms of population distribution, Liaoyang Province has a population of about three million, while Heilongjiang Province has a population of less than one million. There is a problem with population distribution, but there is nothing we can do about it.

It's cold, it's really cold.

Because of the severe cold climate and there are considerable obstacles in agricultural production, many cold-resistant and high-yield crops have not yet been transmitted to China. Even if there is good and fertile land in the Northeast, the effective utilization rate is very low, so the population of Heilongjiang Province cannot be increased at all.

This is actually very consistent with the climate environment of this era.

During the Tang Dynasty, the climate in the northern hemisphere was very warm, so a powerful regime like the Tubo Empire could be nurtured on the plateau, and a powerful Goguryeo with 600,000 troops could also appear in Liaodong. This all depends on the appropriate agricultural production conditions brought by the warm climate.

However, once the climate turns colder, such production conditions no longer exist, and civilization will decline. The remnants of civilization will either go south to the Central Plains and mix with the Han people, or stay in the local area to degenerate into fishing and hunting civilization.

It’s not that they don’t want to farm, but that the climate does not allow it.

The current Heilongjiang Province also has this trend. Many places are not suitable for farming. There are very few areas suitable for farming and limited population carrying capacity.

Taking these problems into consideration, in order to ensure the rule of the Ming Dynasty over Liaodong, Su Yonglin developed animal husbandry and sent a large number of people to look for minerals in Liaodong.

He planned to use the discovered mining areas to replace agricultural settlements and become population settlements, develop industrial settlements, further develop into industrial cities, retain people, and expand the scale of residents.

As for the food problem, at the very least, the transfer of grain to Liaodong will be possible. Although the price is not low, this strategic treasure land cannot be discarded.

Fortunately, the climate has been good in recent years. Most areas of Liaoyang Province can grow grain crops. Although there are few places where they can grow grain, the population is also small, which can carry and retain people.

Compared with the Western Regions and future plans that have not been occupied, the current Liaodong and the Fifth Corps have a more flavor of production and construction corps.

There are really a lot of investments in Liaodong over the years. A large number of budgets have been thrown into Liaodong, laying the financial foundation for Liaodong to build cities and develop human settlements. However, if we want to continue to develop here, sometimes it really depends on whether God is rewarding him or not.

However, there is no need to look at God's expression when he attacks Goryeo. A command is passed on. The Fifth Corps, which has not started a war for a long time, should be very happy.

Xin Qiji and his professional staff team set up a preliminary strategic plan at an extremely fast speed. The rest required the Skynet Army spies to transmit a large amount of relevant information back to Zhongdu, so that the staff headquarters could make a judgment.

Su Yonglin participated in the discussion throughout the whole process. From busy morning to evening, after having a simple working meal with everyone, he discussed until late at night, discussing the logistics and transportation issues of the battle and the administrative arrangements after controlling Goryeo.

Specifically, it is to follow the path of Western Xia. First, under the banner of King Goryeo, and then Goryeo is attached to it, which naturally becomes a province of the Ming Dynasty.

How to select officials to enter Goryeo, how to establish grassroots organizations, how to go deep into Goryeo's folk exchanges with the people, etc., all require specific work plans.

In this regard, Su Yonglin is the ancestor of everyone, and he is also the best design expert, and everyone is willing to listen to him.

There were many related issues and very complicated. Su Yonglin and his subordinates discussed it until late at night before dragging their tired body back to the bedroom, and agreed to come early the next morning to continue discussing.

When he went back, Zhao Xirui had already arranged her two sons to go to bed, and made a bowl of soup for Su Yonglin, waiting for Su Yonglin to come back to eat.

"I will definitely be back very late when I go out. You still have the work of the Women's Department and the Art Troupe to do, and you have to take care of the children. You should have a break early. There is no need to wait for me all the time."

Although Su Yonglin said this, his heart was warm after drinking a bowl of hot soup.
