Chapter 604: The Savior of the Tatars

Zhu Gaochi, who was holding a bowl of mutton soup to eat on the side, silently moved his butt to the other side.

This man is too flattering.

Especially when Zhu Gaochi knew that the new Shun'an King of the Ming Dynasty who was flattering in front of him, he killed his father with his own hands.

The Ming Dynasty can naturally be interpreted as the righteous destruction of relatives, and it is the Ming Dynasty with a bright heart.

But.

At the end of the day, it's always going to be embarrassing.

Zhu Yunxi seemed very calm, and this was already commonplace.

"King Shun'an's trip is a great responsibility, and now he can return safely, and he is very relieved."

Abu only held the mutton soup in both hands, with a smile on his face, and drank the bowl of hot mutton soup into his stomach as soon as he raised his head.

After drinking the mutton soup, Ab waved his mouth heroically.

"The minister bears the emperor's order, does not dare to slack off, always remembers the lessons of His Royal Highness, this time he went deep into the grassland, lived up to expectations, and luckily completed the things entrusted by His Highness."

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand slightly: "Eat meat first, and then talk about it when you have a full stomach." ”

Abu was only stunned for a moment, but finally nodded honestly, leaned down and quickly swept the barbecue in front of him.

Obviously, the approach is the same.

But Ab and I will always feel that as long as the food is made from the hands of the Ming people, it will always be the most delicious in the world.

The name of King Shun'an had already been learned from the outpost of the Ming army stationed there when he arrived at the northern foot of Daqing Mountain.

He became the king of Shun'an of the Ming Dynasty.

However, on the way through Daqing Mountain to get here, all Abu thought about was this mouthful of food made by the Ming people.

When the imperial court completely solves the matter on the grassland, he, the king of Shun'an, will not have to continue to run around on the grassland.

Gangnam.

The rich and comfortable Jiangnan is his ultimate destination!

While nibbling on the beef and mutton in his hand, Ab began to imagine the days after he arrived in Jiangnan.

I heard that Yingtian City, as the largest city at that time, had a high land price.

But his title of King Shun'an may be able to exchange for a mansion for free.

It doesn't have to be as elegant and delicate as the Ming people built, as long as you don't have to live in those tattered and smelly sheepskin tents, it's excellent.

After waiting for a few years to live in the court, I became familiar with the noble ministers in the court, and I couldn't say that I could even invite His Royal Highness Taisun to talk about the matchmaking and ask for me to marry a noble daughter from the family of the noble ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Abu only thought about things beautifully, and began to eat more and more quickly.

After a while.

Ab clapped his hands, and then leaned into the grass at his feet.

I grabbed a handful of grass and rubbed it back and forth between my hands, so that my hands were cleaned.

"Your Highness, countless herdsmen are now waiting for the arrival of the king."

Abu only said excitedly with a bright light in his eyes.

Zhu Gaochi, who was originally hiding far away, couldn't help but turn his neck, looked sideways, and showed a curious look on his face.

The corner of Zhu Yunxi's eyes swept over the curious little fat on his face, and motioned for Ab to continue.

Abu only nodded: "The news that His Highness is building this big green city for all the herdsmen has now spread to the grassland and is being transmitted all the way to the north.

This time, not only Weichen's tribesmen were rushing to Daqing Mountain, but more than a dozen small tribes also sent some herdsmen to follow. ”

"They want to see with their own eyes and confirm whether this big green city is real?" Zhu Yunxi held a slender dagger in his hand, picked up a small piece of brittle bone, and sent it to the charcoal fire to be roasted.

Abu only snorted, and his face showed a little embarrassment: "Weichen has just established, this time only half of the people in the tribe are willing to follow Weichen south and settle here in Daqingcheng together. Together with the herders of other tribes who are willing to follow, there are now fewer than 30,000 on the road. ”

Nearly 30,000 people!

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the side with his ears pricked up, and didn't drop a word, couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing the words.

He couldn't help but look around.

This empty meadow, now that there is not even the foundation of the big green city, nearly 30,000 herdsmen are coming.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi felt that he understood a little bit of what Brother Xi said to him during the day today.

The construction of this big green city is imperative.

And the sooner the better.

Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't help it, and asked on the side: "Are those herdsmen really willing to come to Daqingshan?" ”

Abu only raised his head and looked at Yan Shizi not far away.

A smile appeared on his face: "It's the herdsmen who are willing to come to Daqingcheng." ”

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and nodded, "It's Daqingcheng." ”

Abu only sighed, and looked sideways at the imperial grandson who was still tirelessly burning the brittle bone beside him.

"The herders are having a hard time."

"Especially in the past few years, the imperial court has used troops outside the customs every year, and the wind and snow in the north every year are heavier than in the past. The Tatar royal court could not go north to avoid the edge of the imperial court, so they could only urge the people below, levy more money and grain on ordinary herdsmen, and transfer people to join the army. ”

"This time, the news that the imperial court is going to conquer the grassland with the strength of the whole country has gradually spread from the royal court and the herdsmen tribes over there."

"People are very frightened, worried that they will be conquered by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they are worried that they will continue to be levied by the Tatar royal court to collect money and grain, and take away the prime of life."

Abu only sighed from time to time as he explained.

It seems that when he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he looked at things on the grassland, and there had been some changes.

However, Zhu Yunxi knew a long time ago that the pressure in a system is always transmitted from top to bottom, layer by layer, and finally falls on the majority of people who have the largest number and the least right to speak.

Daming is now facing this problem head-on, and has been actively borrowing Hongwu's new policy to solve this problem.

And it is clear that the Tatar royal court on the steppe did not want to change all this.

Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile: "What do the herdsmen on the grassland think now?" ”

Abu only paused for a moment before continuing: "Many tribes near the Great Wall are watching Daqingcheng. If His Highness's promise can be fulfilled, Weichen thinks that they are willing to move and settle in Daqingcheng. ”

"And those tribes who are farther away from the Ming Dynasty are still willing to believe in the Tatar royal court and continue to fight for the Immortal Heaven?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

Ab only nodded and said, "That's true." But...... Weichen thought that as long as the imperial army and the Tatar royal court won a few victories in this war, this situation would change. ”

Zilazila.

The crispy bones that had been scorched by Zhu Yunxi began to make a sizzling sound, and the oil and water swelled and exploded on the surface.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at it, withdrew it from the charcoal fire, and hung it in midair.

Under the Daqing Mountain, the temperature at night is very cold.

With little effort, Zhu Yunxi sent only a little warm crispy bone into his mouth.

The teeth slowly chewed on the brittle bones, making a clicking sound, and Zhu Yunxi's face showed a pleasant expression.

"What are the expectations of the herdsmen who followed you south to Daqingcheng this time?"

Zhu Yunxi chewed the last remnants of his mouth, and his eyes silently looked at the Daqing Mountains in the north.

Ab said directly: "Food, food that can't be eaten." The house, the house that shelters from the wind and rain. If possible, they also hope to continue grazing and raising horses under Daqing Mountain. They were willing to exchange the horses they had raised for what they needed with the imperial court. ”

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced at Xiaopang lightly.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were a little confused.

In the eyes of most Ming people, the people on the grassland are extremely vicious, and they are bent on going south again, occupying the Central Plains Jiangnan, trampling the Central Plains people under their feet, and reducing them to two-legged sheep.

Now, the herdsmen who followed Ab and I to Daqingshan are asking for something so simple.

It's just that they are well fed and warmly clothed, and they are able to continue grazing.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Daqingcheng is the big Qingcheng of the herdsmen, naturally there will be food and houses for them, the Hetao Plain here is very fertile, but it is impossible to grow grain." If you don't use it for grazing, it will be a waste. The people of the Central Plains have always had a very simple habit, that is, not to waste any inch of land. ”

A smile also appeared on Abu Zhiyi's face, which was very unpretentious.

"Your Highness will have the absolute loyalty of those 30,000 herdsmen."

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently: "How many days will it take for these 30,000 herdsmen of my Ming Dynasty to reach Daqing City, which belongs to them?" ”

"Three days, in three more days, they will be able to pass through Daqing Mountain and arrive at Daqing City!"

……

Three days later.

Some military reports have been sent back from the front one after another.

The news of Liang Guogong, Song Guogong, and Yingguo Gong became less and less as they continued to go deeper into the grassland.

The soldiers and horses who came out of the pass on the side of the Great Wall began to come into contact with some of the herdsmen tribes under the Tatar tribes who had not fled north.

The imperial court was still merciful after all.

The Tatars with weapons in their hands were all executed at the request of Tu Tie-hyun without negotiation.

And those herders who are willing to surrender have been given a direction to guide them.

The big green city at the foot of Daqing Mountain belongs to all herdsmen.

As the army marched north, the laborers, who were ten times the size of the army, followed the army and began to pave the roads with stone quarried under the Great Wall.

A suitable location for the fort and the castle was selected, and it was put together in the hands of the human slaughter Tiehyun, and finally the choice was made again.

And under the Daqing Mountain.

It's a different scene in full swing.

Countless materials were transported here from the south.

There was a roar all day and all night under the big green mountain.

It was the migrant workers who were using gunpowder to open the mountain and quarry under the supervision of Jinyiwei and under the command of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

A cement plant covering a huge area is rising from the ground.

On the north side of the Great Black River, the outline of Daqingcheng, which is forty miles in circumference, has appeared on the earth.

The boxy outline of the city, the grass and the ground beneath have been shoveled away.

The exposed soil is constantly being dug down by the conscripted migrant workers.

According to the construction requirements set by the Ministry of Works, this layer of soil needs to be excavated until a hard stone layer or hard soil layer appears below.

And in the early morning.

For the time being, it is only in the north direction of Daqingcheng, which is developing downward.

On the road leading to the cement factory under Daqing Mountain to the north, countless court officials and soldiers gathered early.

At the front of the line.

Abu only put on a very ill-fitting Daming royal suit.

These are clothes that I got from the Acting King's Mansion.

Although it didn't fit, it was clear that Ab was very happy.

Because it's a status symbol.

Zhu Yunxi was silent and sat on a seat on the side of the road.

All around, flags were erected and waved in the wind.

Daqingcheng gave the herdsmen the greatest enthusiasm and welcome attitude to those who were about to come.

Far away.

In the direction of Daqing Mountain, a large group of figures have already appeared.

These herdsmen who came all the way from the grassland, looking at the flat and fertile Hetao, did not immediately show excitement, but hesitantly observed the surroundings.

After confirming that there were no Ming troops in ambush around, and only a group of troops in the direction of Daqingcheng that seemed to be waiting for their arrival, did these herdsmen spread the news to the other herdsmen who were still in the mountains.

Subsequently.

These herdsmen began to speed up, walked out of Daqingshan, and came in the direction of Daqingcheng.

Gradually.

At the foot of Daqing Mountain, a long and long pastoral song began to come out.

The herdsmen seem to have chosen a very old pastoral song that everyone sings.

Slowly, the herdsmen's singing began to resonate, and the melodious singing echoed after the entire Daqing Mountain.

"Carry all the pots to the side of the road!"

Zhu Gaochi looked at the herdsmen who were about to walk in front of him, and immediately raised his hand to greet him.

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the baggage battalion, who had been preparing for a long time, carried a large iron pot full of food to the side of the road.

There is a live shelf under the big iron pot, constantly steaming the beef and mutton in the iron pot.

The special noodle soup in the north of the Ming Dynasty is also constantly steaming.

"Bring up the rations and put them with the clothes."

Zhu Gaochi ordered again.

I saw a cart of food and clothes wrapped in advance and piled up on the side of the road.

"The people of the household department are ready, and when the herdsmen arrive, they will take the people to temporarily build the camp in sections according to the plan in advance."

According to the plan, the nearly 30,000 herdsmen in front of them will disrupt their original tribal division and settle in Daqingcheng.

When there are more herders coming in the future, they will continue to disrupt the division, and this work will continue.

In the end, when the imperial court relocated the people of Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces, they still had to be put together with the herdsmen again to disrupt the division.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "When the herdsmen receive their things, they will distribute the rewards and punishments, and make sure that everyone can get them. If there is something that you don't understand, send someone to explain it one by one. If there is anyone who does not listen and does not do things according to the regulations, he will be disposed of by the king of Shun'an. ”

One order after another was conveyed.

Before the herdsmen reached the front of Daqingcheng, everyone began to get busy.
