Text Chapter 576 Armor Protection System
Zagad did not agree to "become a Han nationality and serve God", although seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the Mandate of Heaven, even the Tibetans who were much stronger than the Mongols were wiped out, if the Mandate of Heaven was willing, the Tibetans in the Answer Ma Wan Household, regardless of age or age, might be slaughtered.
He still wanted to keep the Mongols independent, even if he gave up some of his finances, and he even hinted to Wang Peng that he would use the women of the tribe to curry favor with the commander of the Mandate of Heaven.
Wang Peng categorically rejected any of his requests, either fully obeying the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Army, or becoming an enemy of the Mandate of Heaven Army, with no path to the Third Heaven.
Zagad hesitated, Wang Peng told him that he used to be a Mongol, and now the golden family is extinct, the Mongols no longer exist, and the Mongol tribes in southern Mo have been submissive to the Jurchens, and the Mongols near the border wall have been subordinated to the Han people in the future!
Such words are like a fantasy, Zagad's brain almost exploded, he has been supporting the Tibetans who refuse to surrender all these years, hoping that one day, a large number of Mongolian tribes will go south to support a small tribe like himself, but now, his hope is completely shattered......
In the vicinity of the Ma Wan Household, there are fewer and fewer Mongols, and in his hands, including the old and weak, women and children, there are only a thousand people, and the population and livestock in his hands will be annexed sooner or later, either by the Tibetans or by the Han Chinese!
When Zagad heard that Wang Peng was from the Chahar tribe of the Golden Family, his mind was relaxed, and after urgent consultations with the tribal leaders, he finally accepted Wang Peng's suggestion and officially returned to the Mandate of Heaven army.
Unlike the Tibetans, Zagad did not fight against the Mandate of Heaven and was voluntarily submitted, Li Zicheng did not punish the Mongols, and even their pastures outside the city did not change much, basically remained the same.
However, at the root, they have undergone a qualitative change, and at the time of population registration, the documents of the Mandate of Heaven told them that from this moment on, they were already Han Chinese and must forget their former Mongol identity.
The Hainan Catholic Church will send people to preach to them, whether they used to believe in immortality or Buddha, from now on, they can only change to Buddha.
Although the Han Chinese did not take away their pastures, the officials of Hainan Province will reclassify the pastures for them, and make it clear that they will be based on the existing number of people, and refer to the number of livestock.
The Mongols inside and outside the city practiced settlement and animal husbandry, with ten households as one Jia, and one person as the head of the Jia, who managed the ten households on weekdays; The top ten are one guarantee, and one person is set up to manage the top ten under him.
Jiachang and Baozheng assisted the government in collecting taxes from the herdsmen, and they did not have a salary, but the government would divide a piece of land for them in the market in the south of the city, and they could sell their property first.
Particularly excellent A Chang and Baozheng can be absorbed into the government as officials in the future, although the grade of the officials is lower than that of officials, but there is a lot of money.
The first chief and Bao Zheng bear joint and several responsibility for the people under them, one person flees, and the whole family is punished; One family fled, and all the armor was punished; The first class fled, and all were punished.
All the people, including Jiachang and Bao Zheng, all want to pay taxes in the government, and the tax rate is 15 taxes and 1, but the government will reduce or reduce taxes according to the actual income of the herdsmen, but the taxes shall not be increased.
This kind of restriction made the Mongols very uncomfortable, but they were not without benefits, at least they would not be oppressed, and the massacre of the Mongols by the Tibetans in the past would never happen in the future, and from now on, the entire Hainan Province, everyone is of the Han nationality, and the government will protect the legitimate interests of every household.
Secondly, all people's pastures and property will be protected by the government, and no one can infringe on them at will.
Having lost their original freedom and getting protection in terms of life and property, at least these Mongolians don't have to worry about when they walk on the street, they will disappear when they walk.
Wang Peng also took special care of these Mongols, and in the future, as long as they made meritorious contributions to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, they could also get additional rewards, and if they joined the wolf cavalry, they could also plunder the weak tribes.
The last one, Zagad is most interested, but unfortunately now the wolf cavalry is not too short of manpower, Wang Peng only died a few soldiers when he fought outside the city last time, and now he has to fill the vacancy, and several people have been recruited from the Mongols.
However, Wang Peng assured Zagad that if he wanted, when the wolf cavalry went out in the future, he could take him with him, and if there was a capture, everyone would have a share.
The affairs of the Mongols were almost arranged, Jiang Yuan had just rushed to Hainan Prefecture, and Li Zicheng asked him to immediately take over as the prefect of Hainan, and then arrange the Tibetans in place according to the "armor protection" system for treating the Mongols.
The Tibetans imprisoned in the Hainan Catholic Church have been tortured by the Yan Palace, and most of the Tibetans have been baptized one after another, officially become Catholic believers, and have returned home one after another to reunite with their families.
In accordance with the "Land Law" promulgated by the Mandate of Heaven, Jiangyuan redistributed cultivated land and pasture land to each household according to the number of males.
Unlike the Mongols, the Tibetans were completely nomadic, in that they were semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral, raising livestock and farming, but instead of the Han people's winter wheat, they mainly used barley, which yielded very low yields.
However, this way of life was more acceptable to Li Zicheng's request for settlement and animal husbandry, and Jiang Yuan did not encounter obvious resistance when he implemented the armor protection system, and seeing the fierce nature of the Tibetans, he opened the city gates one after another and allowed the people to enter and leave freely.
Li Zicheng left the second battalion of 500 cavalry to maintain law and order in the city, and he took Li Guo, Wang Peng and the remaining cavalry and began to clear them outside the city.
Compared with the relatively concentrated population in the city, the people outside the city are relatively scattered, mostly by the mountains and rivers, in the small valleys and river valleys with abundant water and grass and flat terrain, some villages are established, the villages are generally not large, lack the protection of the city wall, and have no ability to protect themselves.
When the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven arrived, they had to bow down to the slaughter.
Li Zicheng did not want to cause too many killings, as long as they accepted the laws of the Mandate of Heaven, they could basically maintain the status quo, but they had to "become Han nationality and serve God", redistribute land, pay taxes to Hainan Prefecture, and follow the armor protection system.
He was worried that the people would not be able to remember these things for a while, so every time he passed through a village, he would leave people behind to train the village chiefs and baozheng in a centralized manner, and then they would widely publicize them to the people.
The people have no choice, in front of the cavalry of the sweet American army, they either accept it or die!
For the people, the only benefit is that from now on, they are already a member of the Han people, and the Hainan government will protect their safety, even if they are bullied, they can go to the prefecture and county to complain.
When Li Zicheng marched along the Chabucha River, he found that there were large areas of sloping plains in front of the mountains along the river, which were equivalent to trapezoidal fields, and if they were developed, they would be good arable land, although they were not open, but they had abundant water sources, and if they were developed into several villages according to the mountainous terrain, they should be able to feed a large number of people.
Hainan Mansion is located in the middle reaches of the Chabucha River, and if some Han villages are established in the north and south of Hainan Province, which can not only defend Hainan Province, but also help speed up the sinicization of Hainan Province, they will have the heart to move in 500 to 1,000 displaced men.
This is a bit far away from Shaanxi, are the displaced people willing to come to this land far away from Xining?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Zicheng's mind, yes, just do it!
He told Jiang Yuan that in the north and south of Hainan Province, along the location of the Chabucha River, the land was not allowed to be distributed, and it was left for the Han people who moved in!
For a few days, the cavalry was mainly a deterrent, and there was no fighting, Li Zicheng had already leveled the surroundings of Hainan Province, and the people were all classified as Han according to the methods of the Mongols and Tibetans.
There are also a few people who don't open their eyes, the Mandate of Heaven army has no time to reason with them, in fact, they can't explain clearly, they can only use force, cavalry not only has a deterrent effect, when necessary, they will also use knives, if the people are not satisfied, they can only go to heaven to complain to God.
Every change will be accompanied by blood, and Li Zicheng personally participated in the naturalization of the village, hoping that there would be less blood, and try not to leave permanent spiritual wounds to the local people.
Li Zicheng's only regret is that there are almost no Han people in Hainan Prefecture, and he can't promote Han dialect for the time being, so he can only come step by step.
The current Hainan Mansion cannot be connected with the Lanzhou Mansion and Taozhou Mansion in Longyou, and needs to continue to expand in all directions.
Li Zicheng originally valued the southeast direction, and by expanding in this direction, Hainan Province could be connected with Longyou, and in the future, as long as financial resources permitted, roads could be built along the valley, so that Hainan Province could truly become a Han land.
However, after coming to Hainan Mansion, he paid more attention to the west.
The Kukunuoer Mountains on the southern shore of the West Sea, almost parallel to the Ola Mountains to the south, besiege a large basin, along which the Shazhuyu River stretches to Hainan Province, and then joins the Chabucha River and flows into the Yellow River.
Sandwiched between two mountains as a basin, and there are rivers running through the whole territory, if you are in the Han land, it is an excellent place for farming, but I don't know how the precipitation is here.
If it is not a farming land, at least it is a good pasture, which can raise cattle and horses, can feed the population, and the Tibetans are good at growing barley, which is hardy and hardy, and may grow in basins.
Li Zicheng traveled a hundred miles along the Shazhuyu River, but there was still no end, and found that there were not many people along the way, so he gave up, because there was no march map to refer to, and he did not know whether this narrow basin extended all the way to the depths of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Before he had enough strength and energy, he didn't want to pry the Tibetans on the plateau for the time being, and Li Zicheng's purpose in setting up Hainan Mansion was only to defend Xining from the southwest.
Xining is an important town in the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, and when he invests his main energy and military strength in the east, he must not be attacked by the uncivilized ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Li Zicheng saw that there was no place where the population gathered along the way, so he asked the guide, and it turned out that it was mostly saline-alkali land, and the pasture was not abundant.
Since the population is insufficient, there is no need to establish a county for the time being, and when Li Zicheng returned to Hainan Prefecture, he only instructed the prefect Jiangyuan to explore the source of this basin at the right time, and whether it is possible to set up a county town or a pass at the source as the first line of defense in the western part of Hainan Prefecture.
