Chapter 996: In the Spring

Chapter 996 In the Spring

This winter, as in previous years, there are boundless fallen leaves, and thousands of trees are bleak.

Different from previous years, there are fewer people in Saibei Maodong this year, and the whole north is busy, busy killing people, busy fleeing for their lives, busy fighting for power, and busy grabbing profits......

Not long after Xia Xun left the camp of Mrs. Huo'a, the messenger from the Wara tribe arrived: the army of the Ming Dynasty had arrived at their station, Bahe, and had raided the nests of several of their tribes in the best winter pasture.

The leaders of the Warat tribes were shocked when they heard the news, and they didn't care about continuing to compete with the Tatars, so they rushed back to Warat. The bald Polo and Mrs. Huo'a had already known the exact news from Xia Xun's mouth before, and they were also anxious when they heard that something had happened to the old nest, but they all knew that since Xia Xun told him about it, it meant that the Ming army had arrived at Bahe, and it was too late for them to return to the division immediately, so it was better to work hard for the maximum benefit in the aftermath.

Who said that people on the steppe have no political wisdom? After some weighing, both of them wisely put down the anxiety in their hearts, until the news officially came, they were "shocked" and "angry" as the other tribal leaders, but on the way back, the two began to constantly move around other tribes, and negotiate secretly with the leader of the tribe.

There are many tribes in Western Mongolia, the so-called Warat Three Kings and Hashha, but the tribe is strong, and then there are many tribes attached to it and form alliances, so that the loose way of ruling dooms each specific tribe, and its leader has absolute rule over the department, and they can choose new political allies and form interest groups.

The task of Mrs. Huo'a and the Bald Fall is to win the support of these tribes as much as possible, and now of course they cannot reveal much information, so they can only condemn Tokhtar and Samuer with the same intention in front of the world, and uncover their mysteries, and they can no longer deceive fools and fools.

Genghis Khan sowed seeds everywhere back then, and the descendants of the Golden Family were far from extinct, even if it was true that this Tokhovan did not sweat, it would be useless to kill him, as long as the Warat people had a heart, as long as the Golden Family still had demagogic power on the grassland, they could find another one sooner or later, and even concoct a fake one. What's more, this detachment is fake, and there is also the value of use.

Keeping the detachment in the hearts of this Warat, and putting him under the control of the Bald Polo and the Lady Huo'a, will shatter all the myths of the steppe people who still have illusions about the Golden Family, and let them see for themselves that the sacred can also be trampled on. This move is more ruthless than knives and guns, kill a few of them, they can regenerate, rob them of a few cattle and sheep, they can raise them again, the spiritual pillar is shattered, and it can no longer be restored.

Of course, these are only temporary means, as for the reason why they did not do it in one step, it was because Ji Gang suddenly changed his plan, and the result did not exhaust their strength, and the imperial court now has to concentrate on the management of Tatar, Xia Xun had to make up for it, throw a few bait, and tell them to continue to kill each other, and when the problem on the Tatar side is solved, they should free up their hands, and this side should be almost fought.

After the matter of Warat was "satisfactorily resolved" and the root causes of the calamities and civil war were laid, Hami, Beshibali, Nuergandusi, Shanxi Dusi, and Shaanxi Dusi began to withdraw their troops, and they camped on the grassland for a whole winter, eating Warat, robbing Warat, and scourging Warat, and by the way, they also did a lot of work to improve the human race, and finally prepared to get out.

At this time, the ice and snow melted, and the breath of spring had blown to the north.

Xia Xun is also about to set off from Liaodong and return to Beijing.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A long cart drove by, and guards with full saddles and bright armor were guarding the front and rear.

Sakura leans in the window, greedily watching everything on the street.

The old men and the old women were still wearing old sheepskin jackets, and they appeared on the street diligently, carrying rattan baskets on their shoulders, and picking up cow dung and sheep dung along the road.

Cattle traders from the Tatar steppes drove the streets full of cattle, sheep and horses, and the sound of cattle and sheep bleating.

The grain transported from the sea also drove by, and on both sides of the road were all kinds of business travelers, stalls and shops, and it was very lively.

All the way over, when you get out of the city, you will be surrounded by mountains not far away.

San'in is still covered with snow, and the wild grasses and wild vegetables in Sanyang have grown wildly.

Even if it is the white snow of the mountain shade, it has also revealed the spring color, the red mountain all over the mountain, the red one, like a gorgeous morning glow, and spread out under it, but it is still a piece of snow white, white and red, constituting a pleasing and amazing.

On the wide Liao River, the once frozen three-foot river surface has begun to thaw, and the middle part of the river has reproduced the surging river, scouring the ice surface on both sides crystal clear, I don't know when, boom, a large piece of ice collapsed into the water, into a lot of clear ice, with the river happily rushed into the distance, all the way to pieces.

This is the north, but it is not the grassland she is familiar with, and the scenes she sees are both familiar and unfamiliar.

It is strange because in the spring on the grassland, it is not the scene when people who have been dormant for a winter come back to life. said familiar, because of the wind here, the sky here, the breath here, she likes it here, and it is like her hometown.

But she still has to leave after all, and follow her man, because her man's place is her home.

Home and hometown, of course, home is more intimate.

Thinking of her man, Sakura's heart was sweet, it turned out that men love women, it was such a feeling!

Before becoming his woman, she never knew, although she had also dreamed and fantasized, but until she really experienced everything, she knew how lacking her imagination was, from a virgin to a man, in fact, the physical and mental changes were not big, and from a virgin to a woman, the physical and mental changes were too big......

Sakura-chan's face is hot when she thinks about it, and there is a crisp "pop" on her buttocks!

"Ouch!" Sakura snorted coquettishly, turned her head and glared at Xia Xun with disgust.

Xia Xun smiled: "Do you want to stay at the window all the time, this is out of the city, come, sit with me for a while." ”

Sakura pouted, turned around and sat next to Xia Xun, Xia Xun grabbed her waist, as if to let her sit on her lap, Sakura glanced at Xia Xun and pointed to the curtains rolled up. Xia Xun smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the curtain cord, and lowered the curtain, the bamboo curtain had gaps, but he could see things clearly from the inside out, but he couldn't see anything from the outside in, so Sakura meekly threw himself into his arms.

Abundant and soft, soft as boneless, plump and delicate body is the best piece of warm nephrite in the world, soft and soft, round and upright pink buttocks sit on the legs, gently caressing a wonderful flexibility, Xia Xun's big hand only gently stroked Wan Wanxiang's buttocks, and before she waved her hand, she slid up again, and stroked Sakura's pair except for Su Ying, which was enough to laugh at all Xia Xun's other wives and concubines.

"Why, don't you want to leave here?"

"No, what's reluctant."

Sakura said against her will, reaching out and grabbing Xia Xun's big hand on her chest, she couldn't resist Xia Xun's teasing at all, just Xia Xun used a little trick to make her body soft and the flowers murmured, but how can she be ** in this car? Wouldn't it be very painful then?

Tilting her head to think about it, Sakura suddenly became a little worried, turned her head to Xia Xun, and said in a slur manner: "Brother, you say...... You say that the lady ...... them."

"Huh?"

"Will they laugh at me?"

Xia Xun was stunned and said strangely: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Sakura wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, turned back again, nervously rolled the corners of her clothes, and said, "People came out with you, they were supposed to help you do things, but ...... But ......"

Xia Xun's face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, if you don't say it, I will forget." Ming'er probably won't say anything about you, but thank you and Ziqi, those are all unforgiving women. ”

Sakura panicked and said, "Brother, what should I do?" ”

Xia Xun said seriously: "Or, after returning to Jinling, you will go back to Moling Town first?" I'll pick you up when the right opportunity arises. ”

Sakura asked, "Well...... it's done." But...... The right opportunity, when is that? ”

Xia Xun said leisurely: "Maybe in March and May, maybe in three years and five years......"

"Huh?"

"Maybe thirty years or fifty years!"

Sakura was angry and laughed, slapped him, and said angrily, "Ignore you and come to trick me again!" ”

Xia Xun laughed heartily and said: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, it doesn't matter what our identity is when we come out, you are my woman now, this is a fact that no one can change, what do you care?" Besides, Ziqi and thank you are not unforgiving masters, if you make a joke with you, what if you are generous? My Sakura-chan has the biggest heart! ”

With this pun, Xia Xun took a hand between Sakura's proud twin peaks, which made Sakura resensis again......

Xia Xun hugged her with a smile, Sakura sat in his arms, a slightly worried heart gradually calmed down, Xia Xun still caressed her, but his mind was quietly immersed in thinking about the situation in Liaodong, after returning to Beijing, these are all to be reported to the emperor in detail, so naturally I have to take time to sort it out!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After a winter, the Liaodong Political Secretary has done almost the work of reorganizing the Tatar households, receiving and resettlement, appointing officials, and setting up a management system, and Arutai, who was unable to save the people on the verge of death and was unable to resist the force of the Ming Dynasty, reluctantly handed over his power, and was cordially invited by Xia Xun to live in Shenyang Weichang, and his title was still retained, but he completely lost power.

Speaking of which, Arutai is actually very lucky, in fact, in the original history, more than ten years later, the son of Mahamu Tuhuan unified Warat, invaded the east again, Arutai fought in Warat in the west, and fought in Wuliangha Sanwei in the east, his subordinates had no food and clothing, and they dispersed, or descended to the Ming Dynasty, or descended to Wara, and finally all the people of Arutai in the waning West Mountain were only more than 13,000 people, migrated to Munashan, destitute, and finally were killed by Tuhuan's troops, and Warat was thus unified with Tatar.

Now, not only can he get a good death, but his glory and wealth are not diminished, he is really a lucky man. It's just that he didn't know that his future fate would be so miserable, so he hated Xia Xun very much in his heart.

Xia Xun is not afraid of his hatred, this goods can only stay in Shenyang as an apartment in the future, are you afraid that he will curse himself in a circle? Even if this old guy scolds people, he just repeats a few words, compared to the words of the literati in Jiangnan who are scolding themselves now, the scolding is varied, and the whipping is too far behind.

Arutai became the shopkeeper, although he was reluctant, but he didn't have to worry about many headaches, these things were to be worried about by the Liaodong Dusi. Since the imperial court formulated a policy against the Tatars, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division began to raise grain to be transported by sea, and it was not difficult to subdue the Tatars by both soft and hard means, but it was difficult to return to the heart, which should be reflected in the successive policies.

Stockpiling grain and grass, avoiding spring famine, and avoiding starvation to death of a large number of herdsmen due to the famine after the military robbery is the first step in winning the hearts and minds of the people.

The matter of transporting grain was all handed over to the salt merchants and grain merchants, and the imperial court now has too many large-scale projects to take care of this part at all. Transporting grain to Liaodong, directly bartering and trading, exchanging ginseng, Dongzhu, cattle and sheep, fur and other things from Liaodong, but it is very profitable to be operated by merchants, not to mention that those who do not like to exchange for Northeast specialties can also use salt to lead the trade.

Therefore, a large number of businessmen rushed to undertake the task of transporting grain to Liaodong, and together with the spring breeze, they set off one after another, they not only purchased rice and grain from Jiangnan, but also purchased rice and grain from Southeast Asia and other countries, and in this process, directly further promoted the development of overseas trade and grain trade, and also promoted the development of shipping.

At the same time, the import of a large amount of grain also prevented some profiteers from raising prices in a big way, taking advantage of the opportunity to exploit the Tatar herdsmen in the field of trading, arousing the wrath of the Tatar herdsmen who had just surrendered.

Grain was brought in, cattle, sheep, livestock, fur specialties and other things were continuously shipped out, and this process also promoted the further development of the economy of Liaodong, and the people of Liaodong discovered for the first time that the war did not necessarily make the people miserable, and sometimes it would make them richer.

At present, the most traded material between Liaodong and Tatar is horses, and war horses are important military items, and ordinary merchants were originally not allowed to trade, and this power was limited to the hands of the imperial court. However, the imperial court did not aim at making profits, and its trading methods and trading roles were seriously bureaucratized, and the trade efficiency was extremely low.

In order to encourage the trade of horses, the Liaodong Political Department increased the tax on cattle and sheep trade, and reduced the tax on horse trade, which promoted its development through economic means. As a result, a large number of Mongolian horses were imported into the Guannai through merchants with developed economic minds and flexible economic means.

The same is to raise livestock, raising horses is more profitable than raising cattle and sheep, after tasting this sweetness, the poor clanging herdsmen's eyes lit up, in this spring, the herdsmen who focus on raising grazing horses have increased significantly.

Regarding the opening of the door to the horse market and the stimulation of herdsmen to raise horses, many ministers of the DPRK and China raised objections. Some ministers believed that nomadism was strong, and that because they had horses, they should not be stimulated to raise a large number of horses, but mainly to raise cattle and sheep, and encouraged Tatar herdsmen to raise more cattle and sheep, and to trade all kinds of daily necessities with cattle and sheep markets, so that they can have both worlds. Horses, on the other hand, were weapons of war, and it would be very disturbing for the Tatars to have too many horses.

After receiving the minister's opinion, the emperor did not rush to express his position, because after so many years of cognition, he knew that Xia Xun must have his ideas in every thing he did, and his ideas were often tricky and different from ordinary people, but when he thought about it carefully, it made a lot of sense. So Zhu Di just forwarded the opinions of the ministers to Xia Xun.

Xia Xun really made his opinion clear in the letter, and as soon as this letter was published, those ministers who had objections immediately had no objections. Xia Xun said in the book: The people on the grassland have to graze in order to survive, the grassland is vast, unlike the captive livestock in the Central Plains, grazing must have horses, so even if you exhaust all means to restrict the herdsmen from raising horses, even if the price of the horse is worthless, they will also keep a certain number of horses.

The number of horses will be at least one horse per person, regardless of whether they are men or women, old and young, and each horse will have one horse, which means that if they fight, they will not only have enough horses, but it is not difficult to achieve two horses or even three horses. So, as long as they wanted to fight, they always had enough horses to fight at any given time, and this restriction was meaningless on the herder's side.

As for the Central Plains, there is a serious shortage of horses at present, not only in the army, but also in the people, so that the price of horses is very high, and it is still not enough. Once the restriction of horse breeding in the land of horse breeding does not reduce the number of horses used by herders for warfare, it can only make the supply of horses in the Central Plains more difficult. But what about encouraging them to keep horses?

The grassland is only so big, there are only so many herdsmen grazing, their pasture is limited, the number of livestock that each person can graze is also limited, they raise more horses, there is no spare energy and not enough pasture to raise more cattle and sheep, they need to raise horses to trade, to exchange grain, cloth, all kinds of living materials, to live a better life, isn't it great?

Once they have bad intentions and want to make trouble under the gathering of well-intentioned people, the extra horses will not help their combat effectiveness in the slightest, and then cattle and sheep are their most important material security. Therefore, if they raise more horses, they have to raise less cattle and sheep, and their living materials must be more dependent on the farming people.

At present, they have just been annexed, and people's hearts are still unstable, should they be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, or should they be entrusted with the belly problem to Daming to be responsible?

Of course, this is also a means of the transition stage, at this stage their uneven development is beneficial to the rule, and when the antagonism and estrangement between the two sides are gradually eliminated, the Central Plains also has enough horses, the relationship between supply and demand will change, the supply is oversupply, the horse market is not smooth, and the herdsmen will naturally change to raising cattle and sheep.

Although Zhu Di is a master of eloquence and strategy, some aspects are far more transparent than Xia Xun thought, but Xia Xun's methods contain a lot of experience and wisdom of later generations, including the laws of the market economy, Xia Xun's analysis is reasonable, the head is the Tao, and some methods have far-reaching purposes, even Zhu Di was amazed when he saw it, and this matter was settled.

Nowadays, with the experience of transforming and relocating the eastern Liaodong tribes, combined with the characteristics of the Tatar tribes, the Liaodong Political Department has formulated many new policies according to the time and local conditions, reorganized the Tatar tribes and herdsmen, appointed new leaders, demarcated the nomadic range, and transformed some herdsmen into full-time trade as a profession in barter.

There are also some herdsmen who have completely lost their livestock information and become farmers and tenants. In addition, some herdsmen who have lost their young and strong labor or main means of production in their families can only survive by being taken away by others or actively becoming slaves of others according to the principle of survival in the grassland, and now they are recruited as workers by the factories and workshops that gradually emerged in eastern Liaodong.

With the development of Liaodong trade, many people are not satisfied with the fur and other rough processing specialties directly sold in the Guannai, because the profit is too small, so some people have long begun to operate large fur making workshops, their success, so that more people have opened their minds, they began to feel that just a large number of buy land, collect a fixed amount of rent, or set up a large ranch, sell livestock for profit, far less direct and fast than the money earned from processing trade.

So some people have already begun to transform, and various types of factories and workshops have appeared, and the most scarce thing in such factories is the proletarian, work-oriented labor, so they are happy to recruit these homeless people who have nothing to do to become their workers. In this way, there are fewer people on the grassland, the competition between turf and water sources is less fierce, and it is easier for the Liaodong political secretary to resettle people who continue to live as nomads.

Just like back then, Xia Xun only grasps the general direction, and completely lets go of specific things, even if they will touch some nails in some details, Xia Xun will not remind them in advance, but let them touch it, as long as there is no big mess. Soon, the Liaodong Political Secretary of the Wanshi Domain became handy and comfortable when dealing with the new Liaodong, which had expanded more than several times as much as the new ruling territory.

Digestion is a long-term process, as for the Shanxi political division, Shaanxi political division, and Beizhili to expand outward, or even with Daning as the center, and then set out a new political division, to completely decompose Tatar, this is not a problem that can be solved in three or two years.

So, it's time for him to leave.

Xia Xun thought for a long time, carefully reviewed the situation of Tatar and Warat, and sighed with satisfaction.

"Huh? Stop! What's going on there? ”

Xia Xun, who woke up from his thoughts, inadvertently looked out of the window, immediately knocked on the window to ask someone to stop, and then rolled up the curtain cage.

Not far away is a low peak, there is a peak on the peak, next to the road is a shrub, this is the sun of the mountain, the snow on the shrub has melted, the branches have sprouted, and the new green is a piece. In the bush there is an artificially stepped path that leads halfway up the mountainside. Halfway up the mountainside there was a land without trees, and at this moment, a huge mound was piled up there, black and yellow new earth, surrounded by some spirit flags, fluttering in the mountain wind. In front of the grave, there are many people dressed as soldiers with filial piety belts on their heads, and it seems that a sacrifice is being held.

What kind of person has to die to build such a big tomb, and call the defenders of the nearby garrison to come to the ceremony, Xia Xun doesn't remember any important military figures who have died recently, so he has to ask. The convoy stopped, and one of the guards ran up the hill along the path, and after a while he hurried back, and when he arrived at the front of the car, he said in a low voice: "Guogong, this is the Xingshan Post station, and the troops who went to the Tatar mediation were drawn from various guards, and the Xingshan Post garrison also drew many soldiers to fight against the tribes that refused to submit. Now that the army has returned, the Xingshan Post soldiers have brought back the corpses of the dead robes, a total of seventy-nine, all of which are buried here. ”

Xia Xun's heart sank slightly, he was silent for a moment, got up slowly, and said solemnly: "Come with me, and sacrifice the fallen soldiers and heroes together!" ”

In front of the tomb, a glass of water and wine slowly poured down from Xia Xun's hand, put down the wine glass, Xia Xun took a pillar of incense from the hands of the Xingshan Post soldiers who were full of tears with excited eyes, and solemnly bowed three times to the huge tomb, and prayed silently in his heart: "To protect the family and defend the country, it is inevitable to sacrifice." However, this time we could have avoided some unnecessary casualties! The heroic spirits of the heroes are not far away, please listen to Xia Xun's words, this time I will go back, I will definitely seek justice for you! ”
