Chapter 132: Wolves
Chapter 132: Wolves
In fact, this is the famous Jiapigou gold mine in later generations.
This news reached Jingshi and directly changed the degree of control of the Ming court over Haixi.
Zhu Qizhen is simply double happy.
Of course, he knows that there are many gold mines in the Northeast, but Zhu Qizhen can't go to explore it in person, and many places in the Northeast are in an undeveloped state, all of them are deep mountains and old forests, and from time to time there are Siberian tigers, dogs and bears are infested with fierce beasts, and a few people can't do it at all, and large-scale geological exploration is something that is difficult for the imperial court to do.
The first is short of people, and the second Zhu Qizhen is also afraid of the chaos below.
After all, after Ye Liuzong's incident, Zhu Qizhen was very careful and cautious about any mining. I'd rather have less money than make any more mess.
So when it came to large-scale prospecting, Zhu Qizhen turned around in his brain and was pressed.
Therefore, this gold mine is a surprise for Zhu Qizhen.
Not to mention, Li Manzhu gave the head. The Jianzhou Jurchens no longer existed, and after the Jurchen tribes in various places were reshuffled, most of the Jurchen people were directly subordinate to the Haixi Division.
Zhu Qizhen got Jiao Li's report.
There are already more than 100,000 Jurchen tribes under the jurisdiction of the Haixi Prefecture.
With these hundreds of thousands placed in the interior, there are not as many people as a prefecture and county, but in the Haixi Prefecture, we can feed more soldiers who can fight.
Plus the financial subsidy for this gold mine.
According to preliminary exploration, this gold mine can produce 30,000 taels of gold a year, which is equivalent to more than 300,000 taels of silver, and the annual income of a province in many places is only like this.
Zhu Qizhen naturally didn't care about 300,000 taels of silver, but the 300,000 taels of silver could be directly subsidized into the military expenses of the Haixi Division, and the Haixi Division would be able to do more.
Zhu Qizhen directly ordered the establishment of the Six Cities of Haixi, the Acropolis of Haixi, the Acropolis of Shuangcheng, the Acropolis of Mao Lian, the Acropolis of Jianzhou, and the Acropolis of Jincheng. and Sandao Seki Castle.
To complete what Zhu Qizhen has always wanted to do, block the first line of Changbai Mountain, and let the tile spur attack Haixi, he can only enter the Songnen Plain along the Heilongjiang River, and then go south, this road is mostly Shuize. It may not be convenient for cavalry to march.
In this way, Hercynian is much safer.
Mobei
also got the news of Li Manzhu's death first.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it at first.
When he first withdrew from Haixi, he also regarded Li Manzhu as an outcast, and it didn't matter when he died.
Now I am also discussing a major matter, that is, whether to go south to Daming.
In the face of natural disasters, Mongolian ministries have discussed a lot.
"The horses of the grassland want to travel thousands of miles a day and need to eat grass, and the warriors on horseback want to return to the capital, they need time, King Huai, all of us want to."
Chongguang Dayuan, but if the Southern Dynasty is so easy to defeat, now it is already a cowardly Xue army in Dadu. ”
"In the face of the Southern Dynasty, it is impossible to be too cautious. This year, Changshengtian is angry, the grassland is not allowed to grow grass, all the animals cannot live, the warriors are hungry, how can they pull up their bows and arrows, and ride their war horses south. ”
"What we need is pasture, a recuperation, a grow-up of the cubs, a pregnancy of the mares, not a war now."
Generally speaking, it is divided into two parts, one part is headed by the various departments of the Tile Spurs, who are in favor of going south.
For the tile spurs, instead of the grassland chaos and suppression everywhere, it is not so necessary to drive these horses to attack the Southern Dynasty, anyway, they are all dead people, as long as they do not die the people and horses of the tile spur headquarters, it is enough for them.
But the Mongol ministries were unwilling.
Quite simply, no one wants to be cannon fodder.
They gnawed the bones and let the spurs eat the flesh.
Who knows that the heart is unbalanced. But they did not dare to openly oppose it, but there was one person who could, and that was the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia, who was not spoiled.
In the face of going from one victory to another, there is a feeling of being sharp on the back. He understands the thoughts of the father and son too well.
Knowing that one day, he will definitely usurp the power of the Golden Family.
I don't do it now, but because the time is not right.
Therefore, Totok Buhua seems to be peaceful, in fact, he has been trying to resist, last year's war made Totoku Buhua see an opportunity, many tribes with heavy losses, the hope of confrontation is also first, pinned on Totobuhua.
I don't know that they may not have any good intentions. But politics is inherently about the relationship between exploitation and being exploited. Without hesitation, he grabbed this straw.
"Great Khan." The Assassin said: "Now all the pastures are not enough to carry the cattle of the Great Khan, only the south has food, if we don't go to the south to ask for food, will we starve to death on the grassland." ”
"The people of the Great Khan would rather die in battle than starve."
I was also surprised that I suddenly opened my mouth and joined the dispute.
Because of the detachment, most of the time, is the existence of a mascot. If you suddenly speak today, you must have an idea.
But what thoughts, he didn't figure out for a while.
It didn't take him to open his mouth, someone said what he wanted to say.
At this moment, Yexian's eyes narrowed slightly, sweeping over all the leaders in the tent, as if trying to see their standing by observing their subtle expressions.
and choose the response he is about to take.
Tokhtobuhua continued: "Immortal Heaven will not let all rivers dry up, nor will it make all Mongolians unable to live, as long as they survive this year, there will still be a better tomorrow, but if the south faces the firearms of the southerners, the blood of the warriors will only be shed in vain." ”
The Assassin said: "You are not allowed to conquer the capital, as long as you conquer one or two cities, it will be enough for the cattle to survive." Even some sacrifices are worth it. ”
What the Assassin Zhiyuan said is right, for the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, there is a stark economic difference. For the Mongols, even the capture of a village was a very profitable thing.
An iron pot can be exchanged for a Mongolian woman.
Human life is valuable, and Mongolian life is even less valuable.
Many Mongolian aristocrats did not treat Mongols as human beings, but as animals.
What they are arguing about now is that if they survive this calamity, in fact, whether they go south or survive on the grassland, people will die.
And it was a large number of Mongols who died.
But none of them cared.
"Ahem." He coughed twice suddenly.
Everyone was silent.
He also said first: "When the wolves on the grassland hunt, they will also be kicked to death by horses, but if they are afraid of being kicked to death by horses, do they not hunt?" If wolves don't hunt, it's impossible to survive on the grassland. ”
Ye Xian's eyes swept over, and he saw a lot of excited eyes, all of them were tribal leaders who supported the troops.
He also continued: "But wolf hunting, but not casually culled, a patient wolf, will follow the prey for a few days, even ten days, hungry, eating snowflakes, just waiting for the day when the prey relaxes its vigilance, and then suddenly pounce on the prey and bite the throat of the prey." ”
"In the absence of certainty, the wolf can wait, hungry and waiting."
"The Southern Dynasty is strong? Yes, the Han people, who are very strong, but no matter how strong they are, are sheep, and we are wolves. ”
"The form of the prey and the hunter has never changed. So we have to be patient, and we have to be patient and wait for the prey to let our guard down. ”
"Before a wolf hunts, he will tempt. What is the situation of tempting our prey now? ”
"Now there is a lot of news coming, saying everything, and one day it can be determined, that is, the immortal heaven does not let the livestock of the grassland live, nor does it let the livestock of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty live."
"I decided that the army would go south and graze cattle on the edge of the Great Wall, to test our prey, and to see the courage of the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty."
"If he is timid, we will bite him by the throat like a wolf, and if he is really confident, we will wait."
"Keep waiting, waiting for the right time."
There seemed to be a green glow in his eyes, as if he were a calm wolf, a calm and cruel hunter, and he said, "Do you understand? ”
All the tribal leaders stood up together and said, "Obey the orders of King Huai." ”
For a time, only Tokhtar did not spend sitting on the throne. The one who was snubbed was like a sculpture, and he looked at it without flowers, and suddenly felt that he was like a wolf that was about to pounce on him.
