After Wang Zheng sent envoys, the Ming Dynasty sent four ministers to Burma, Nanzhang, Siam, and Cambodia respectively, to give some rewards on behalf of the Ming court and put forward some requirements. This requirement is mainly to build a Chinese school, Daming is willing to pay, local manpower, after the construction of the school, by the Ming sent people to teach, the local is responsible for the teacher's accommodation, and the salary is responsible for Daming.

Such good conditions would of course be supported by the people of the vassal states, and it is impossible for some to openly oppose the consequences of cultural assimilation. So this matter is going relatively smoothly in all countries, this was done in South Vietnam, everyone on the Indochina Peninsula has a similar environment, and they are all areas influenced by Confucian culture, so there is not much resistance to Sinicization education.

There is a certain difference between the textbooks of the vassal states and the textbooks of the country, and the emphasis is on teaching Confucian culture and local history. The Ming Dynasty had already summoned a large number of people to be responsible for compiling the history of the countries of the Indochina Peninsula, and of course, it was necessary to delete and revise them in the process of compilation, especially since all the textbooks had the same feature, that is, they emphasized that long ago, all places were vassal states of China.

As for agriculture, the institute has sent students from the Department of Agriculture to give guidance on farming and fertilization. The environment here in Indochina is too good, and if you scatter some seeds, you will have a good harvest, so you don't pay much attention to these aspects at all. A little mentoring by the students of the Ming Dynasty here can at least double the yield.

However, the people in this part of the Indochina Peninsula are more free because food is easy to come by, and it is indeed difficult for them to work as intensively as the people in the Central Plains, and the further south they go, the more difficult it is to be lazy. However, in Luzon's experience, some goods that are not available locally, such as cigarettes, matches, soap mirrors, are very attractive to them, and can greatly increase the motivation of local people to work.

Through the transformation of the Ministry of Agriculture, the proportion of Peigao fields in Daming has increased greatly, which makes the domestic grain production actually enough to meet the needs of the people. In this case, the Ministry of Agriculture appropriately adjusted the protective price of the grain received. The price of millet that is not too good is appropriately reduced, while the price of wheat is slightly higher. People are extremely price-sensitive, and when they find that they can get more income from growing wheat than millet, they naturally choose to grow wheat. The nutritional value of wheat is relatively high, and it is easy to carry after production, which is naturally beneficial to people's livelihood.

In the event of a famine, the food of the southern vassal states could be relieved of the problem in a short period of time or even a year or so, but if the famine lasted too long and the scope was too large, the problem could only be solved by relying on these grains.

The Jingxiao Railway has been built to Kulun, and there is no problem with steel and labor, and it should be possible to build Xiaohai within half a year. And Zhang Zongling went north from the north city of Zhenbei to the mouth of the Lena River, and built a city on the west side of the Lena River, which was named Taiyuan City by the emperor. In the east of Taiyuan City, the Guards squad of the Northeast Military Region is still exploring, and after finding people, they declared this place to be owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the local people became the Ming people, gathered them together, and built towns.

However, in most parts of the east, there are no people at all. Cao Wenzhao received an order from the emperor that in the cold region of the northeast, only extensive management was required, and there was no tax or anything, and the entire place was searched. However, even this was difficult to accomplish, because the area was too large, and the Guards had to bring their own dry rations in uninhabited places, and they could only go out for a few months of the year, and the rest of the time they had to hide in their dwellings to avoid the cold, so it was roughly estimated that it would take at least five years to figure out the basic geography just east of the Lena River.

In March of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Zongling was appointed as the general of the Far North, and the emperor ordered him to set out from the Qian River, survey north along the Yenisei River, and build a large city in a suitable area by the Yenisei River to serve as a base for the Ming army in the Far North.

At this time, the valley of the Qian River was occupied by the Buryats, a branch of the Wathorns, known as the people of the forest. Zhang Zongling came to Kulen from Zhenbei City, and led one of Wei Junru's divisions to the vicinity of Xiaohai to meet with the leader of the Buryats.

The leader of the Buryats, Yayo, came to the camp of the guards by appointment, and Zhang Zongling said: "According to the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, the three thousand miles around Xiaohai are owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the Buryats who originally lived here have two choices: one is to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to move three thousand miles away. ”

Ayoko sneered, "We have always lived here, why does your emperor want us to submit or migrate, we will not leave here, see what you can do to us." ”

Zhang Zongling said with a smile: "It seems that the leader is very dissatisfied with my Ming Emperor, today is in the camp of our army, so I will not kill you, tomorrow our army will attack you, please get ready." ”

Yayoke sneered and walked out of the Ming army camp, he gathered the warriors of the tribe and said, "The Ming army said that it will attack us tomorrow, so get ready." ”

Someone asked: "Taiji, you have seen the appearance of the Ming army, how do they compare to our warriors?" ”

Yayo laughed: "Their legs are straight, they are not suitable for fighting on horses, and they do not have calluses on their palms, they do not look like they are used to holding weapons, and tomorrow let them know how powerful our Buryat warriors are." Their clothes are very good, and tomorrow we will kill them and snatch them all. ”

Everyone laughed, fighting the weak chickens was everyone's favorite thing, not to mention that there was still something to grab, and they were all looking forward to the next day's battle.

The next morning, the Ming troops lined up and walked towards the positions of the Buryats. The Buryat warriors looked at the Ming army that came over and laughed again. Yayo laughed and said, "Sons, get on our horses, go and cut off the heads of the Mingren, and rush with me!" ”

The Buryats roared forward, and the Ming army stopped when they saw this, which provoked the Buryats to laugh again. When the Buryats rushed to a distance of more than two hundred paces from the Ming army, the Ming army's guns opened fire.

The Buryats, who were still smiling at the corners of their mouths, fell off their horses as if struck by lightning, and the horses, startled by the sound of guns, began to run wildly. At this time, the second sound of guns sounded again, and another group of Buryats were knocked out of their horses, while the Buryats behind continued to rush forward.
