Republic August 13, 1791

The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival of the Han people is coming soon, and this year's festival, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Northern Expeditionary Army will inevitably have to spend time outside.

In order to let the soldiers have a good holiday, Xu Shiyang did not hesitate to occupy the transportation capacity, and specially transported a large number of polished rice, noodles, vegetables, and dried fruits from the rear. And let the soldiers take turns to take a holiday, hunting nearby, a large number of roe deer, pheasants, and hares, were sent to the barracks, ready to be used to enrich everyone's food.

The land here is indeed fertile and primitive, there are many herbivores, carnivorous animals are naturally indispensable, and the Chinese army also hunted many wild boars and wolves, and even bears, leopards and tigers.

A former veteran of the Blue Army hunted a white tiger, took off the skin and offered it to Xu Shiyang, he changed hands and ordered someone to send this luxurious tiger skin back to China along with some old ginseng, white fox skin and other items to his father, the emperor as a holiday gift.

In order to make the soldiers as relaxed as possible before the final battle, Xu Shiyang even ordered the Goryeo people to send 3,000 young women, along with a few thousand girls from the local tribes, to distribute to the bachelor soldiers of the expeditionary force.

These women were not concubines, nor were they slaves, they were the wives and concubines of soldiers.

The soldiers did not get these women for nothing, and once the war was over, the husbands of these women had to stay in the area, take root, and try to bring this fertile black land into the jurisdiction of the empire.

These women are also the first benefit for these newcomers.

However, their luck is actually not bad, because after becoming the wives and concubines of Han soldiers (Goryeo women can be wives, Yi women can only be concubines), their immediate family members will not be reduced to slaves, at least they will be treated as commoners.

For the savage tribe without the concept of chastity, it is of course a good thing that a daughter can be exchanged for such good treatment.

In this way, Xu Shiyang has actually booked 10,000 Han immigrant families in the Great Northern Wilderness, which is his first investment in this land.

The second investment will also be coming soon.

The day before the festival, Xu Shizhen led 4,000 people from the Jurchen tribes of Changbai Mountain to Qiqihar to meet Xu Shiyang - the Hu'er Wen tribes did not dare to rebel, they honestly drew two out of three and followed Xu Shizhen to the front line.

As for why they came so late...... because the tribe to which the tribal chief who was killed by Xu Shizhen on the spot was made a scapegoat and besieged by his compatriots, and his livestock and children had been carved up.

Xu Shiyang had no opinion on this kind of behavior of the jungle among the Tartars, and he just laughed at it, but these Tartars who followed, not only the Hu'er Ministry of Culture, but also the departments of the Hunhe River, and other Jurchen tribes, he planned to leave one-third in proportion, which would be counted as common people in the Great Northern Wilderness.

This group of people was about 10,000 men, and Xu Shiyang planned to divide them into 10,000 households, and the women were supplemented by plundering the local Jurchens and the women of Wanyan Zonggan, and divided into 1,000 tunbao (each tunpu had ten Han households and ten common people, and the foundation was laid first, and then the other populations and slaves were replenished in the future).

All tunpu emphasized the need to appoint Han Chinese as village officials in order to increase the empire's ability to control the grassroots.

……

The day of August 15 finally arrived, and from the morning onwards, the Chinese army's camp in Qiqihar began to prepare a hearty diet.

Today's meal belongs to the whole world, from Xu Shiyang to the most ordinary auxiliary soldiers, and even those servants and soldiers who have come with them and newly captured slaves, they can enjoy a day of peace and full and exquisite food.

Xu Shiyang deliberately emphasized the festivals of the Han people, and at the same time banned all foreign customs and festivals, in order to assimilate culture, emphasizing the core leadership of Han culture, and even the only cultural status.

For this reason, Xu Shiyang often gave extra food or cloth to the slaves of the royal family as a benefit on Han festivals, not only completely banning foreign festivals, but even disparaging foreign festivals in propaganda.

In fact, this is also a very classic act of cultural aggression: all my culture is good, all your culture is bad, and your ancestors who left you these bad cultures are naturally also bad, so your nation is bad from beginning to end.

Isn't it a sense of déjà vu?

For this reason, Xu Shiyang also ordered that this operation should be dedicated to collecting the written archives of the Jurchen and the Jurchen tribes, whether it is written on paper or bark, even if it is engraved on stone, it must be rubbed and reprinted, and then completely destroyed.

The rubbing is done in order to compete for the right of interpretation in the future, and the destruction is to make one's own interpretation unique.

At the same time, all the shamans of the conquered tribes were put to death – because they were almost the only ones who could read their own script, and were the inheritors of the knowledge of the Jurchen tribes.

Xu Shiyang wants to completely destroy the future of their nation.

This systematic work of alien cultural destruction will continue, and today's feast in which slaves are allowed is not the beginning, and certainly not the end.

……

At noon on August 15, the banquet would not start for a few hours, but it didn't work out that a group of rare guests came:

In the name of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanyan Zonggan sent a team of envoys to give Xu Shiyang a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

This long gift list includes 500 taels of gold, 10 catties of Dongzhu, 1,000 catties of ginseng, 500 mink and fox skins, 10 bear skins, 10 leopard skins, and 1 tiger skin.

The value of this gift is not low, Xu Shiyang estimates that it will be worth more than 20,000 taels when it is shipped back to China, and it will be worth even more if it is sold to Jiangnan.

Moreover, not only that, Wanyan Zonggan also sent a pair of his own sons and daughters over.

He sent a letter to Xu Shiyang, saying that he was willing to become the outer fan of the Huaxia Empire, and that he would pay tribute every year and offer a woman with a year's coins, only asking Xu Shiyang to raise his noble hand and let him live.

The daughter sent this time is the daughter of Wanyan Zonggan, a long time ago Jin Guo tried to negotiate with the Xu family, according to him, this woman is the daughter of the sect who was going to marry Xu Shiyang, so it can be regarded as Xu Shiyang's woman, so this time he was sent directly to him.

And Wanyan Zonggan's son came to be a proton.

Wanyan Zonggan's degree of groveling in the letter was humiliating, but Xu Shiyang still didn't intend to let him go.

When Qi Jin changed his parents, Xu Shiyang didn't agree at all, so no matter who Jin Guo planned to send over at that time, she couldn't be regarded as his woman.

Xu Shiyang ordered that Wanyan Zonggan's children be sent to the palace together, with the daughter as the lowest-level palace maid and the son castrated as the lowest-level eunuch.

Xu Shiyang ordered people to go through the belief that Yan Zonggan was embarrassed in front of all the Han soldiers in the whole army, and then he came to the stage and tore the letter to pieces and sprinkled it on the earth:

"Lone will be completely eradicated this time, and he will never retreat if he does not achieve his goal!"
