Chapter 159: China is full of talents
Zhou Tongjin made a circle to everyone and said: "I, General Yan, the governor of the East China Sea of the Ming Navy, explained to me, the Ming Emperor has a decree to reopen the Nuer Gandu Division, and the younger generation is not talented, and he was appointed as the commander of the newly opened Nuer Gandu Division." ”
Everyone was stunned, and naturally knew that this newly opened slave Gandu Division was not the same as the original Nuer Gandu Division, who didn't take anyone seriously. After the original Nuer Gandu Division moved to 30,000 Wei in the Ming Dynasty, it has always been the ancestor of Zhou Tongjin through marriage with people of all ethnic groups, barely maintaining a signboard, no one takes it seriously, just because various forces are deadlocked with each other, and they are not able to monopolize Nuer Gancheng, so they did not enter the city to destroy him.
Now the Ming Dynasty wants to reopen the Nuergandu Division, which means that the Ming Dynasty has swept away the threat and rebellion, and the Ming army has returned to Nuergan City. The elders couldn't help but rejoice, the great elder had a unique vision, and married his daughter to Zhou Kefang, who was not optimistic about anyone, which was a great climb to the top of the mountain.
Bahab smiled: "Congratulations to Commander Zhou! My sister, who has a thin life, has not waited for the time when her son is developed, but my uncle can catch up with the good time, and we Daur people are finally looking forward to a good life. ”
A Daur elder also smiled and said, "The Daur people will definitely support the Nuergandu Sifu and support the commander of the capital." ”
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at the Great Elder Lifting the Wheel, who was sitting on the top. Now the person at the helm of Daur is still the Great Elder, and he looked at Zhou Tongjin, who he has never liked very much, and smiled: "The people of Daur can unconditionally support the commanders, and they want people and food." ”
Zhou Tongjin smiled: "Thank you grandfather, thank you uncle, thank you elders." The nephew did not dare to ask for the unconditional support of the Daur tribe, and it was beneficial for everyone to have it together in this way. The nephew thinks that this is a good opportunity for the Daur people, the Ming Dynasty does not have an army on land now, only the invincible armada at sea, so if we Daur people declare their allegiance to the Ming in advance, then we will get the selfless help of the Ming Dynasty. With the help of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this Nuergan city still up to the Daur people? ”
Rotary glanced at Zhou Tongjin in surprise, this grandson is not as stupid as he usually looks, and he knows to draw a big pie first to lure the Daur people. It is impossible for the Daur people to have the final say in Nuergan City, only the Ming Dynasty has the final say, to be specific, Zhou Tongjin, the commander, has the final say. However, Ti Rotary is already very satisfied, the master is his grandson, as long as he marries his granddaughter to his grandson, then Daur's position is in Nuergan City, no, there will be no one to shake in Nuergandusi.
He smiled and said: "Tongjin, your wife has been dead for two years, and you have suffered for the past two years, but what is eye-catching, tell me, I will help you ask for marriage." ”
Zhou Tongjin naturally knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and he arched his hand and said: "Cousin Jin Zhu has a delicate temperament, and Tongjin has always wanted to ask his grandfather to fulfill it. ”
Rotary said, "Very good, I chose a good day and let the two of you get married." In the future, your uncle will be your father-in-law, and Daur will be your uncle's family and your father-in-law's family, so you should be a little more biased towards this side. ”
Zhou Tongjin nodded yes: "That's natural." ”
Rotary said with a smile: "Now that you have opened a new capital office, the worst thing is nothing more than two: grain and grass and the army. I don't have anything else in the Daur tribe, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers, but we Daur people can't provide all this food and grass. ”
Zhou Tongjin said with a smile: "Then where can it be, the Daur people have sent out the army, and of course the supply of food and grass for this army should be provided by everyone." The grandson went to discuss with the elders of the various tribes, and if there was no food, if there was no food, if there was no food, if there was no food, the tribes would not dare to lose the face of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Ti Rotary secretly scolded the "little fox", and hurriedly smiled: "Forget it, we are warriors, as long as they provide some military rations, we are also willing to give thirty percent of the grain and grass to celebrate the reopening of the capital." ”
Zhou Tongjin also scolded secretly: "Old fox, you want to monopolize all the soldiers, and you want me to raise soldiers for you." When the Ming sends the guards, you will know that your cavalry and archers should not do the same. ”
Of course, he still hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Grandpa is so supportive, of course my grandson only recruits Daur people into the military camp of Dusifu." The grandson is not good at cavalry and shooting, so it is better for the uncle to personally lead the Daur army to protect the capital and defend against the prying eyes of Xiaoxiao. ”
Naturally, Rotary was willing to have his son lead this army, which could prevent Zhou Tongjin from seizing power, and secondly, it would increase his son's prestige and lay a solid foundation for him to succeed him as the Great Elder. Bahab hurriedly thanked his nephew for his proposal, and explained that he would definitely lead the Daur people to become the staunchest supporters of the capital.
So this mutually beneficial agreement was completed in this conversation and laughter. The next day, Zhou Tongjin took Bahabu to visit the elders of the various ethnic groups one by one, and after explaining his intentions, the elders of the various ethnic groups regretted it one by one. It is really hateful that this Daur took advantage of his in-laws, and even took up all the quotas in the army. It's just that this Daur people are already fierce, and now they have the support of the behemoth of Daming, and everyone can only sigh.
But Zhou Tongjin threw out another big pie: the number of officials in the capital and the number of patrols to maintain order on a daily basis. These places will be allocated by the tribes, and the allocation will be based on the amount of food and grass provided.
In fact, this pie is bigger than the army, because the army is only useful in battle, and now that the Ming Dynasty has reopened the capital, under the power of the Ming Dynasty, there should be few wars between tribes, and officials and patrols will play a role every day.
For a while, all ethnic groups were attracted by this big pie, and they gave out the grain and grass they were willing to provide, and Zhou Tongjin always inadvertently revealed the amount of grain and grass provided by their hostile tribes, which stimulated them to keep pulling the grain and grass to a high place, and ran down in a circle, in addition to supporting the army, at least half of the grain and grass provided by the tribes were left.
With food and soldiers, Zhou Tongjin finally fired the first fire to rebuild the Nuergandu Mansion. According to the specifications of the commanders of the capital, he arranged the officials at all levels of the capital division according to the contribution of each tribe, and set up the capital division patrol and capture camp according to this specification, with a total of 300 patrols.
At this point, Zhou Tongjin finally backed the East China Sea Fleet and established the basic structure of the Dusi Mansion. Yan Siqi returned to Nuergan City and saw the new golden plaque, stretched out his thumb and said: "Good job, the emperor said that China is so handsome, and it is true." ”
