Chapter 333: It's good to get used to it
Long before Zhu Youxiao came to Zhangjiakou, he had already asked Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to jointly prepare to fill the vacancies of the new state and county officials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For this reason, after occupying the vast territories of Monan Mongolia such as the Horqin Department and the Khalkha Department and the land around Ningjin, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered Yang Tinglin, the governor of the Fourth Army, to temporarily serve as the governor of Monan, and at the same time, the Third Cavalry Brigade will be stationed in Yingchangcheng, the Korqin Department of Monan, and Liu Shiyu, the general of the brigade, will be the commander of the Monan Metropolis, so as to play a deterrent role by force.
After Yang Tinglin was appointed as the governor of Monan, he announced the end of the military management of the Monan region, and represented that Monan Mongolia officially became a political envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
Immediately before the withdrawal of the Janissaries, administrative divisions were carried out to establish the divisions of specific prefectures and counties.
The Ministry of Officials immediately joined hands with the Ministry of Rites to evaluate the candidates for the officials and select those who passed the examination to serve as the official seal officials of each prefecture and county, as well as the officials of the political envoy department, the inspection envoy department, and the academic and political system.
In particular, it was imperative to establish a school palace and appoint a large number of Confucian students to serve as teachers and other posts to impart Confucian knowledge to ordinary Mongolian herdsmen and let them learn Han culture, so as to achieve the goal of education.
For a time, countless scholars who had been waiting for several years in the Ministry of Officials and other officials were suddenly promoted to the prefect of the prefecture or even the prefect of the fourth grade, but when they knew that they were going to Monan to be the parents of Mongolian herdsmen, they were also very reluctant, and even refused the appointment of the imperial court on the grounds of illness, and Zhu Youxiao simply took advantage of this to directly remove his fame.
However, in order to arouse the enthusiasm of these scholars, Zhu Youxiao also promulgated some encouraging policies, such as working outside the customs for three years, and when he was promoted, he would be promoted one level higher than the officials at the same level. It is also paid three times as many as officials at the same level in the Guannai, and those with outstanding talents can be given priority in the future to be elected to the pavilion.
In this way, it has also attracted many people with lofty ideals to sign up for posts in Monan and Liaodong.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also encouraged middle- and lower-level officials, especially the second officials of the state capital, such as the governor and the county official, to report to the Ministry of Officials and request to be transferred to Monan and Liaodong to serve as the chief official of the palm seal.
In addition, children are also encouraged to report to the Ministry of Officials, and some teachers, professors, or county officials, canons and historians can be served by Tong Sheng.
Anyway, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Hongjiang is a member of the forty-second year of Wanli, and later repeatedly failed to take the Zhejiang Township Examination, but now he is fortunate to be appointed as the governor of Xilin Gol Prefecture in Horqin Prefecture because the Ministry of Officials urgently needs to by-elect a large number of officials to serve as the county officials of Monan Prefecture.
Although it is only a state, it is larger than several prefectures in Guannai, Gao Hongjiang wore an indigo five-grade official uniform, stepped on white cloud pattern boots, wore a black gauze hat, rode on a colored horse, and walked for several days to reach his Xilin Gol Prefecture.
But when he arrived, he found that although this state was large, there was not a decent city, only a wooden village built by the Praetorian Guard during the temporary military management, and a few simple sheds, which were the yamen.
There are even fewer people under the rule, and it is difficult to see a few people within a hundred miles, and the distribution is very scattered.
Gao Hongjiang's father used to be the governor of a certain prefecture in Huguang, so he also knew the responsibilities of some magistrates, so as soon as he took office, he began to convene the magistrates of his own county in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, and prepared to count the number of registered Dingkou and the number of pastures in the whole state, and was ready to divide the land according to other local arrangements that had been divided.
But Gao Hongjiang found that there are only three counties in the entire Xilin Gol Prefecture, in addition to Xilin Gol County, that is, Sunit and Wuzhu counties, but now only Sunit and Wuzhu counties have county orders, which means that Gao Hongjiang himself, the governor of Xilin Gol, has to concurrently lead the county of Xilin Gol.
Gao Hongjiang had to do it himself, so he hired an old Mongolian man who knew Chinese as a staff member at the cost of ten silver dollars a month to assist him in his work.
Then, he began his own administrative work.
It took him and two other magistrates and other subordinate officials to gather the herdsmen of Xilin Gol, register them, and compile their household registrations, and then it took another month to complete the statistics of the grazing land in the prefecture according to their merits.
It was not until another half a month later that more than 3,000 herdsmen in Xilin Gol Prefecture were allocated grazing land, sheep and horses, and even iron tools, according to the number of dingkou.
Zamuhar was originally a serf of a certain tribe in the Horqin tribe, and in his consciousness, everything here, including himself, also belonged to the tribal leader, but he didn't expect that today, this Han official called Gao Parent (the people call the county order as parents) personally gave him 300 acres of grassland, and also gave ten rams and thirteen ewes, as well as two lambs and three mares, two stallions and an old horse, and said that these are the wealth of his family of eight, and others have no right to take it away, if anyone dares to plunder, they can go to the Zhizhou Yamen to sue.
Zamuhar is excited to have something of his own, and he is looking forward to his future life, and he is confident that he will have dozens of sheep and dozens of horses in his family in the future.
Although a certain amount of taxes are paid to the Ming court every year, it is not high, so Zamuhar did not resist because of this, but also like other serfs, he is sincerely grateful to His Majesty the current Ming Emperor.
Due to the emancipation of the serfs due to the distribution of the means of production controlled by the feudal lords, the enthusiasm of the herdsmen has been greatly improved, and the herdsmen of the whole southern Mongolia have forgotten about looting, but diligently herded their flocks and horses, in order to feed the sheep and horses more full, some are still grazing in the evening.
Even at night, it does not rest, because now all prefectures and counties are recruiting craftsmen to build cities and government offices, so that a large number of migrant workers are needed, and thus these herdsmen have an opportunity to earn extra money.
After only a year and a half, there were suddenly dozens of cities and official roads in the whole of Monan, and the lives of herdsmen began to change, and some wealthy families began to move into the city and build their own pink walls and tiles.
If you go to Mo Nan to do business and enter a new city that has just been built, you can see the school palace in the city and hear the round-faced Mongolian children chanting the Three Character Sutra in front of the statue of Confucius.
But in addition to being taught Confucian classics, they also have a compulsory political and historical geography class, which is to learn how great His Majesty the current Ming Emperor is, and why he represents the immortal heaven.
The history and geography course is to learn the vastness and greatness of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the great achievements in history, what is the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, the majesty of the Yellow River, the majesty of Mount Tai, the boundlessness of the East China Sea, the legend of Emperor Taizu Gao's cloth clothes, and the glory of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years, etc., all began to be instilled into the minds of these children bit by bit.
Moreover, the imperial court encouraged children under the age of ten to change their Han surnames and take Han names, and as long as any of their children changed their Han surnames to Han people, they could be exempted from paying one percent of their taxes.
For ordinary herders, the sugar-coated cultural invasion has not alarmed ordinary herders, and they cannot resist the temptation of such benefits.
Wang, Li, Liu and other Han surnames that are simple and easy to recognize and remember, and are also the most well-known by the grassland people, are widely used, and for a while, these big surname families have sprung up on the grassland.
Although countless serfs were liberated from the hands of the tribal feudal lords and made them the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, in order to achieve the goal of the Ming ruling system being completely established in Monan, so as to prevent the Rakshasa Kingdom from occupying these places, due to the vastness and sparse population of Monan Mongolia, many places were still not really included in the ruling system.
For this reason, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to encourage the people in the interior to emigrate outside the Guanwai, and to encourage the people to go to the west and the east, and for this reason, Zhu Youxiao also directly stipulated that as long as they were willing to immigrate outside the Guanwai or newly occupied Mongolian areas, they could cultivate acres of land at will, and no matter how large or small the amount was, the imperial court would recognize it as their private property and not pay taxes for three years.
In addition, the political envoy department of Mo Nan Cheng Xuan and the newly established Liaodong Cheng Xuan political envoy department will have a quota for the examination, so that they can also attract some traditional families who cultivate and study heirlooms to settle outside the Saiwai area, and realize the ideal of honoring the ancestors because of the low difficulty of competition in the Seychellesbian surgery.
……
More than a dozen wolves were released, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, drenched in heavy rain, unceremoniously moved the reeds and shot iron projectiles at the wolves that were targets.
The continuous and intensive shooting exhausted the wolves, and finally all died in the fields outside Zhangjiakou, and the smoke that spread in the heavy rain persisted.
And this scene made Lin Dan Khan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that these Praetorian Guards' firearms could really fight in the rain, he couldn't help but think to himself No wonder the Praetorian Guards were able to resist the attack on the capital by Jiannu, but now it seems that it is not just because of luck.
"King Shunyi, how about my Ming Apocalypse flintlock pistol?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and asked Lin Danhan at this time.
Lin Danhan smiled awkwardly: "It's the best firearm I've ever seen, I didn't expect it to be able to be afraid of rain, and it can fire continuously, but its structure doesn't seem to be quite the same as a bird's gun, there is no fire rope." ”
"I don't know the specific principle, I only know that Jiannu also values this kind of firearms, and he insisted on taking out a million silver dollars to buy a batch of such firearms from my Daming, so that he can dominate the grassland in the future", Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to ask Lin Dan Khan if he had any intention of buying the weapons that his Praetorian Guards had eliminated, but he just used a pretext that Jiannu also wanted to buy his own arms, so as to induce Lin Dan Khan to buy his own arms.
Lin Danhan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "No, Your Majesty the Emperor, didn't you just build slaves to fight, why did you still sell him such a good firearm." ”
"There is no way, in order to fight for an armistice to facilitate the rest of the people, I signed an armistice agreement with Jiannu, and the agreement is that he Huang Taiji recognizes me as his son, but I have to allow the sale of firearms to him", Zhu Youxiao continued to make a helpless look and said nonsense, but Lin Dan Khan was somewhat convinced, and said: "Then I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to sell it to my Chahar Department." ”
Zhu Youxiao pretended to think about it carefully, and then said: "In this way, after all, you have attached yourself to my Da Ming, I naturally have to be your brother and prince of Shunping, and my Ordnance Department still has an inventory of 20,000 Apocalypse One-style flintlock pistols, and when the time comes, how about selling them to you at one hundred silver dollars each (the actual cost is twenty silver dollars), you must know that my Ordnance Division will have to spend a hundred silver dollars to make this one, and now because it is you, I will suffer a loss, and he will have to rely on you to defend the northern frontier for me in the future." ”
"Thank you Emperor Daming, please rest assured, I, Lin Dan Khan, will never betray Daming!"
After Lin Dan Khan finished vowing, Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Chengen to take him to sign a firearms purchase contract with Bi Maokang, the ordnance commander of the Sui Hu, Lin Dan Khan had accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures by annexing other tribes over the years, so he could take 20 million silver dollars, equivalent to more than 2 million taels of gold.
But Lin Dan Khan was not satisfied with buying a batch of arms from Daming, and he was still thinking about Zhu Youxiao's promise to give him a part of Horqin's territory.
Therefore, he still comes to Zhu Youxiao from time to time, but he will be prevaricated by Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao did not leave Zhangjiakou immediately and ignored him.
After the Chahar Ministry handed over the first batch of funds for the purchase of firearms, that is, 500,000 taels of gold, Zhu Youxiao began to refuse to meet him and began to set off for Beijing.
But Lin Dan Khan still refused to give up, and when he saw that Zhu Youxiao ignored him, he stopped Wang Chengen: "Prince, why didn't the emperor see me, when did Xilin Kuole give me the Chahar Department, and why didn't the emperor say anything?" ”
Wang Chengen, who received Zhu Youxiao's instructions, couldn't help but smile and said: "It just so happens that Your Majesty is going back to Beijing today, and if King Shunping wants to know, you can ask Your Majesty in person." ”
"Okay, I've asked several times, let's ask again this time", Lin Danhan's heart was broken at this time, but he was helpless, so he had to follow Wang Chengen into the palace to meet Zhu Youxiao, and as soon as he saw Zhu Youxiao, he immediately couldn't wait to ask him about it.
And Zhu Youxiao pretended to be stunned at this time and asked: "When did I promise you about King Shunping, King Shunping will not be mistaken." ”
"No memory is wrong! Your Majesty, you are also a person of your word, you can't go out of Erfaer", King Shunping said this, but Zhu Youxiao suddenly scolded him: "Presumptuous! Frightened, King Shunping was stunned for a moment, but he still insisted and said: "Could it be that Your Majesty the Emperor really wants to regret it." ”
"It doesn't matter if you regret it or not, King Shunping, you have to adjust your mentality, this kind of thing will not only happen once, I will do this kind of empty talk a few more times, and then you will get used to it."
Zhu Youxiao turned around and entered Longlin as he spoke, preparing to leave for Beijing.
But Lin Dan Khan didn't come back to his senses for a long time, his fists were clenched very tightly, his teeth were rattling, it was obvious that he was very angry now, angry that Zhu Youxiao was playing him as a monkey.
Lin Dan Khan couldn't wait to go back immediately, and led tens of thousands of iron horsemen to avenge this hatred, but when he thought that Zhu Youxiao said a few days ago that Sun Chuanting and Wang Zaijin and others were strengthening defense, and the Praetorian Guards also retreated to the Jizhou area, he was afraid that he would have the intention of preventing his own large-scale invasion.
Therefore, Lin Dan had to endure the sweat, but when he thought that in addition to spending a lot of money to buy a batch of firearms, he seemed to have gained any benefits from belonging to the Ming Dynasty and borrowing from the Praetorian Guards, but he fell into the encirclement of the Ming Dynasty like Jiannu, which made him feel very aggrieved.
