Chapter 939: Safe Return

Thirty string controllers were selected from the conquered Mongol tribes to serve as auxiliaries in the "Red Banner Army".

Their performance is directly linked to the treatment of their tribe, and the higher the proportion of soldiers selected for the guard, the greater the quota of food, iron, silk, cloth, and other materials that the tribe receives.

The number of cattle, sheep, horses, and furs they have obtained will also increase proportionally, which will not only lead to a well-off level for military families who have received regular soldier treatment, but also directly lead to a significant improvement in the living standards of the entire tribe.

The characteristic of human nature is that they will only be driven by their own interests, Huang Han understands this truth, and never talks about false idealism, but allows those who choose to follow him to get more benefits, and treats Tartars as much as possible to lure them to profit.

After the conquest, the policy of Huairou was followed, but it was very different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which co-opted the upper princes and nobles and used religious beliefs to rule the steppes.

The "Red Banner Army" was to eliminate the upper echelons of princes and nobles, dilute religious beliefs, and give civilians the opportunity to win military merits and become masters.

Tell the story of a slave to a general, advocating that men who have no race should be self-reliant, break the original rule, and establish a new order.

Although the grassland tribes are poor, they are as arrogant and lascivious as the princes and nobles, and the grassroots herdsmen also dare not speak out.

The "Red Banner Army" was killed in the prairie, and the original rulers were killed or taken away and sent to mines and stone quarries for labor reform.

The bitter shepherds were given grain, iron, cotton and even silk.

also got fairness, and with the opportunity to be a leader and a general, the vast majority of low-level herdsmen felt angry.

In addition, there are no large tribes in the areas actually controlled by the "Red Banner Army", and the north should be able to guarantee peace for twenty or thirty years.

Eliminating the threat from the north, Huang Han finally freed his hands to enter the customs.

At this moment, good news came that the fleet sailing to the Americas returned safely again under the leadership of Shi Daxuan, Wang Zheng, Yu Fei and others.

Due to the accumulation of experience and sufficient preparations, the rubber trees transplanted to Hainan Island this time were able to survive at least 8,000 plants, and the raw rubber brought back was as high as more than 500,000 catties.

Many new varieties of potatoes and maize have been found, a number of cinchona trees have been brought back, and many seeds of crops, melons, fruits, and nuts have yet to be studied.

In the past two years, Shi Daxuan, Huang Yi, Yu Fei and others have led the soldiers to continue to attack, and the entire Central America has been included in the bag.

The Longwu Naval Division had more than 30 battleships, how could such resources be wasted, and it was not unreasonable to say that they were busy fighting pirates and robbing armed merchant ships.

The "Red Banner Army" pioneer regiment has established eight cities with good harbors and docks on the west coast of North and South America, and steel mills, cement factories, docks, and so on are all in production.

The fleet that returned to the sea already included more than 20 merchant ships produced in the Americas, and more than 30 warships and armed merchant ships captured from pirates or Xiyi.

The Americas have too many resources, too much territory, too weak enemies, and what is most lacking today is population.

Huang Han immediately made a decision to select 20,000 well-behaved young and middle-aged prisoners from among the prisoners sentenced to labor reform, including 8,000 Jiannu and Tartars, and 60,000 immigrants to the Americas.

Adopting the principle of voluntariness, 8,000 infantry of the "Red Banner Army" and 2,000 cavalry, mainly of Mongolian nationality, were sent to the Americas.

The fleet of the third voyage to the Americas was stronger, because in addition to more than two dozen sail battleships, seven steam engine steel steamers that had completed sea trials joined the formation, all with a displacement of no less than 1,000 tons and equipped with no less than 60 guns.

With these seven warships, you can be invincible, and if you encounter a formation of hundreds of warships in Xiyi, you are not afraid, and it is a big deal to use the speed advantage to play the "mangu" tactics with enemy ships at sea.

As early as April and May, Qian Qianyi and Zhang Cai began to visit Qingliu quietly, and not only the flag guards participated in the action, but also more than a dozen of their protégés, former officials, the same year, and friends.

They have compiled a set of rhetoric, which is quite demagogic, such as Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and other scholar-type officials who were originally unwilling in the Ming Dynasty, and the two have actually lost their officials.

But their hearts are in the imperial court, and they always hope to do their best for the Ming Dynasty, and they are eager to explore the road to a rich country and a strong army.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Cai talked about what they saw and heard in the "Han Wang" department, and Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, and so on were deeply attracted.

learned that Qian Qianyi and others were planning to organize a group of like-minded colleagues to go to the "Han Wang" department for field investigations, and also made it clear in a high-profile manner that they were not moral gentlemen and Qingliu who were not born in the two rankings, and they disdained to deal with them.

The vast majority of Qingliu are high, they think they are talented and strategic, but they just don't have the opportunity to play.

They despised flatterers and disgusted officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and most of them were happy to see Qian Qianyi and Zhang Cai only contact and organize the highly respected ministers of Qingliu to go to the "King of Han" to inspect and learn from the scriptures.

As a result, the incumbent Qingliu took leave in various names, and then rushed to Tianjin Wei and Nantong Prefecture by car and boat to assemble and take a cruise ship to go to sea.

The cruise ship is the passenger ship with the best facilities of the "Sun and Moon Sea", with a displacement of between one and two thousand tons, and the first-class cabin is almost the same as the room facilities and service of the city that never sleeps.

Large steamships with steam engines were the first to be used in the military, and the heat-powered passenger ships that have not yet been built have been launched, and the Qingliu people are still taking sail cruise ships.

A large group of like-minded clear streams gathered together to travel thousands of miles, naturally feel comfortable, more than ninety percent of them have never been to the sea, after appreciating the vastness of the sea, can not help but feel more broad-minded.

During their one-month inspection in "Han River Province", they even went to several prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the southernmost part of Han River Province.

They really couldn't imagine why they heard all the official words of the "Red Banner Army" in the south and north, and their hearts were full of doubts, where did the aborigines of this land go?

Zhang Cai, a native of Taicang Prefecture in Suzhou Prefecture, has been an official in the "Hanjiang Province", and his political achievements are outstanding, he has the most right to speak, and he talks about how cruel Jiannu is, and kills the Koreans to ten rooms and nine emptiness.

They tried their best to flaunt how merciful the "Red Banner Army" was, not only not slaughtering the Goryeo people, but also giving grain, seeds, cattle, and acres of land, and not only giving people fish, but also giving them fish.

He also deliberately led the Qingliu led by Fan Jingwen and Huang Daozhou to visit the villages and towns under Zhang Pu and visit some Goryeo families.

Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai are fellow villagers and fellow believers, and the two were once quite ambitious, trying to form a party to target the disadvantages of the times and grasp the right to speak to change the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Donglin Party, Yingshe, Fushe and other parties are all speaking for the bureaucracy and the scholar group without exception, it cannot be denied that they actually have a positive side, at least it proves that Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai's thinking is very active.
