Fourteenth year of the Apocalypse, Spring.

On the grassland, the grass grows and the warbler flies again, and the grass grows all over the earth.

The war between the Ming and Mongolia officially ended in the spring of this year, and the Mongolian resistance forces were completely disintegrated by the Ming Dynasty, leaving only a small number of Mongols to become horse bandits wandering around the grassland, but because of the lack of mass base, the guerrilla warfare of these horse bandits was like a tree without roots, and was destined to wither quickly under the Qing of the Ming army.

Production in the entire steppe began to resume in an orderly manner after the beginning of spring, and the imperial court sent a large amount of materials to the steppe to help the Mongolian herdsmen resume production.

These Mongolian herders are allocated more grassland in Mobei, and each Mongolian herdsman is allocated more than 7,000 mu of grassland. The main reason is that the quality of these grasslands is not as good as that of the grasslands in Monan, because the dimensions are higher and the forage yield is lower. At the same time, there are some not very good pastures, and the area of pasture allocated by herders may reach tens of thousands of acres.

The main reason is that many Mongolian herdsmen died in the war last year, although the old and weak women and children did not die much, but the young and strong died too much.

According to some statistics, the number of young men in the Mongolian steppe decreased by nearly 400,000 in this war, and there were almost no Mongolian young men left. Of these 400,000, about 300,000 were killed by the Ming army, and nearly 100,000 Mongol cavalry were taken to the steppes of Central Asia by Lin Dan Khan.

As a result, the steppes are full of widows and fatherless children. These old and weak women and children are not considered a family, but were arranged by Daming to live in a collective ranch.

This kind of collective pasture is the responsibility of the imperial court for all the materials necessary for production, and it is also operated and managed by the imperial court, and the income from the operation is used to feed these orphans and widows.

At the same time, the imperial court first popularized Sinicization education here, and the children in the collective farms could enter the school for free, and the imperial court etiquette department was stepping up preparations for all kinds of black materials about Lin Dan Khan and the oppression of ordinary Mongolian people by the Mongolian elite class in the past, and prepared to compile them into historical textbooks, and at the same time, the Mongolian region will compile a detailed historical textbook.

Sinicization education must be carried out in the Mongolian steppe. Just like later China, many Mongolians in Inner Mongolia were actually sinicized.

As long as we do not discriminate against these ethnic minorities in policy and conscientiously ensure the stability of their lives, we can still convince people with morality. Of course, the premise is that they accept sinicization. If you don't accept Sinicization, the imperial court's policy of subduing people with virtue is of little practical significance. It will only raise a pack of white-eyed wolves.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans are the spirits of all things, and they have the ability and consciousness to rebel against nature and transform nature. Animals do not have this consciousness, they only conform to nature. The result of conforming to nature is to advocate the law of the jungle. Once people advocate the law of the jungle, they have something in common with animals.

The bestiality of a nation depends on its cultural level. In fact, except for China, which is based on Taoism, most other countries have a beastly culture. Some are even very strong. Especially in Japan, in their various comics, there are often things that rush to the jungle.

The implementation of the sinicization of ethnic minorities is also a benign transformation of ethnic minorities. Bloodline or anything has never been very important to China. It can be said that China is also a melting pot of ethnic groups, as long as you accept Han culture, you can be considered a Han person.

But by blood, the character of this melting pot of peoples. It is destined that the people in China will inevitably be uneven. Therefore, in terms of China's national conditions, it is impossible to follow the high-welfare policies of Westerners. A pyramidal system of domination must be formed internally.

Anyway, those who can go up, those who can't go down, and what level they can climb to depends on their competitiveness. It doesn't matter if this competitiveness is genetic, or if it's learned.

If these ethnic minorities are integrated, what level will they be able to mix in the future? It also depends on your own ability. Under a system in which the state only guarantees the basic right to subsistence and basic welfare, this system of ethnic integration can still be sustained, and more ethnic groups can be integrated.

The Mongols are also the next group of Ming people to be integrated, and sinicization must be carried out on the grassland. You can leave it alone in remote places, but towns with a relatively high population in Mongolia and the like. As well as densely populated pastoral areas, it is first necessary to make Chinese characters and Chinese commonly used in daily life.

Once this goal is achieved, the differences between ethnic and cultural groups will gradually be eliminated, and even if the registered race is different from the Han nationality, it can be summarized by the Chinese nation, and over time, an ethnic group dominated by Han culture will be formed.

Therefore, when the imperial court settled those Mongols, it did not have any petty family spirit at all, let alone engage in any ethnic discrimination. These ordinary Mongolian herdsmen, their requirements are actually very simple, as long as the imperial court can make their lives better than when they were under the rule of Lin Dan Khan and the Mongolian nobles, they will naturally support the imperial court, and they will naturally accept sinicization.

The Mongol War had come to an end, and the troops on the steppe had withdrawn to Guannei, northeast, and northwest one after another. In the Mongolian steppe, the imperial court stationed three production corps and a border garrison unit, while leaving two cavalry divisions to be stationed in Mobei.

The production corps is mainly concentrated in the northwestern region of Mobei, where the mountainous and hilly terrain is the mainstay, and there are a large number of lakes, rivers, and forests.

In the Mobei region, the Mongols were settled in the eastern steppe region. The pastures have been allocated, and in the future, the surplus population of Mongolia will enter the towns and become industrial after Sinicization. Or enter the Yellow Sect as a monk, and there will be no turmoil and war because the grassland is not enough.

Once the grassland system of the imperial court is finalized, it will become relatively stable. Moreover, because those Mongolian herders have relatively large pastures, the pastures also belong to them. Therefore, these Mongolian herdsmen will also cherish their pastures when grazing, and under the propaganda and education of the imperial court, they will not overgraze, and the ecological environment of the grassland will not be afraid of being destroyed.

At the same time, there is a large grassland on the grassland that has been designated as a wildlife sanctuary by the imperial court, and this wildlife sanctuary is forbidden to grazing and hunting, and there are wild horses in it.

With the financial resources of the imperial court, it was relatively easy to resettle hundreds of thousands of Mongolian herdsmen. The main thing is that after a war, the Mongol population was sharply reduced, and the Ming army captured more cattle and sheep, and these booty were enough to be distributed to those herdsmen to resume production.

After the pasture was allocated, those Mongolian herdsmen also supported the Ming Dynasty. Under this new system, they could settle down on the steppe for production, without having to run around, and they did not need to be exploited by the Mongol nobles, and they could exchange for the goods of the Ming Dynasty unimpeded, and good times were beckoning to them.

With the support of these Mongolian herdsmen, it is impossible for the reactionary forces in the Mongolian steppe to fight back. The imperial court also began to withdraw its troops with confidence.

The field army that had just been withdrawn was immediately stationed in large numbers in the Huai River valley and the Huguang region.

As a large number of officers and troops moved south into the Huguang and Jianghuai Huaihe regions, there was a lot of noise in the officialdom. The sword hanging above his head could fall at any moment. (To be continued.) )
