Moreover, the Mongols once ruled cruelly over the Jurchen tribes, and letting the Jurchens spy on the Mongols on the Mulan steppe could well prevent them from colluding and colluding.

This suggestion was immediately endorsed by Guo Ying and others.

They now clearly knew the strength of the various Jurchen tribes in Liaodong.

After years of living and reproducing, the total number of these Jurchen tribes is hundreds of thousands.

If the Jurchens could be used to spy on the Mongols, they could also be weakened.

Zhou Dexing said with a smile: "I heard that those Jurchens are very poor, and it may not take thirty silver dollars a month to recruit Jurchens as soldiers, I think that ten silver dollars is enough." ”

Guo Ying and others also agree with this statement.

After all, although the Ming Dynasty is rich now, it always feels a bit wasteful to give the same military salary to the Jurchens.

Zhu Han didn't want to pick the door like this, because Zhu Han had other considerations of his own.

The territory of the entire Liaoyang Province is too large, and there are not many Han people on the land, so Zhu Han must quickly weaken the strength of the Jurchens so that the Ming Dynasty can have a solid ruling power in the Liaoyang Province.

Therefore, mobilizing some of the Jurchen elites is a measure that kills two birds with one stone.

"If you can't do less, you will give them a military salary of thirty silver dollars per month, the same treatment as ordinary Ming soldiers, but they must obey the education of the Ming Dynasty and use Chinese names!"

"The Ancient God Emperor"

Zhu Han not only wants to mobilize the Jurchens, but also assimilate them!

"Your Highness, after all, the Jurchens are also Tartars, if they are like the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, will it make others dissatisfied?" Luo Guanzhong said with some concern.

Luo Guanzhong, as the commander of Ying Changwei, the northern parallel capital, was already very clear about the likes and dislikes of ordinary soldiers, and they were all jealous and disgusted with the Tatars, whether they were Mongols or Jurchens.

"Don't worry, as long as the Jurchens are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, there will be no Jurchens in ten years, there will only be people from the Ming Liaoyang Province!"

Zhu Han was very confident in the ability of the Ming Dynasty to assimilate the barbarians.

Originally, the jurisdiction of the Northern Parallel Capital Division did not include the Liaoyang Provincial Region.

Zhu Han immediately wrote to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang and took the jurisdiction of the Liaoyang area in his hands.

It is convenient for you to unify your own scheduling.

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Han's request, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed directly.

Soon after, the Northern Parallel Capital of the Ming Dynasty issued a recruitment order to recruit 10,000 Jurchen soldiers from Liaoyang Province.

All Jurchen soldiers who are hired will receive a military salary of 30 silver dollars, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation will be provided by the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens will also get the Han household registration given by the Ming court.

That's right, Zhu Han regarded the Han household registration as a reward, and wrote it openly in the proclamation.

The purpose of this move is to tell everyone that the Han household registration of the Ming Dynasty is very noble, and not everyone can obtain it.

These Jurchen soldiers, after assuming Han Chinese status, will be rewarded with land and houses, so that they will no longer want to return to their original tribe to live a miserable life.

Every few years to recruit a group of Jurchen soldiers, it will not take many years for most of the young and middle-aged Jurchen tribes to be hollowed out, and the Jurchens who stay between the white mountains and black waters will no longer have the ability to make trouble.

Under the powerful assimilation power of the Ming Dynasty, those Jurchens who served as soldiers would quickly accept their Han identity, and no one would care about the tribes of white mountains and black waters.

The Ming Dynasty only needs to be filled with immigrants, and it will soon turn the area around Liaodong into a direct territory.

In the future, not only will there be no threat from the Northeast, but there will also be a treasure land in the Great Northern Wilderness that relieves population pressure!

Liaodong, Jianzhou.

The Liaoyang province of Mengyuan has a vast area, including almost the entire northeast region.

After the Ming Dynasty defeated the Meng Yuan, the originally huge Liaoyang Province was redivided, from south to north, Liaodong, Songjiang, Yalan and Heishui.

Jianzhou belongs to the eastern province of Liaodong, and there are many Jurchen tribes living here.

Although these Jurchen tribes were called Jurchens, they had no lineage with the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom who were wiped out by the Mongols.

Most of the Jin Jurchens had long since been wiped out by the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Today's Jurchen tribes belonged to the savage tribe that was despised by the Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom went to the Central Plains to enjoy the world of flowers, and did not bring these poor and backward distant relatives.

Aqina and Seth Hei are brothers of a Jurchen tribe at the foot of the Changbai Mountain.

They originally lived a life of hunting and farming, and their lives were very hard.

Because hunting is not only full of dangers, but also does not guarantee a success rate, it is often not a harvest for a day or two when you go out to hunt.

In this bitter cold land, the harvest of farming is also pitiful, only the Liaohe Plain can have a good harvest, but it has long been enclosed by the Mongols as pasture and arable land, and it is not the turn of the Jurchens to live.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has replaced the Mongols, the Liaohe Plain still cannot belong to the Jurchens.

Akina and Seth Black didn't have any other way to change their lives, originally he thought that he would go on like this for the rest of his life.

Suddenly fate changed!

Hongwu 4th year, April.

After driving out the Mongols, the Ming army set up many guards at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and governed all the surrounding Jurchen tribes.

The tribes of the two brothers, Aqina and Seth Hei, belonged to the jurisdiction of the Ming Jianzhou Wei.

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens could continue to hunt or farm in the mountains, but they could not move freely between the various guards, and they had to be fixed in one place.

If the Jurchen tribe wants to migrate, it must report to the Daming Guard.

After obtaining permission from the Ming officers, the Jurchen tribe was allowed to migrate to other places.

Otherwise, they will all be punished as rebellion, and at least they will be arrested and whipped, punished as slaves, or the entire tribe will be exterminated by the Ming army.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army are all red in the hope of military merits, which tribe dares to be disobedient, and it is absolutely necessary for the whole family to be cut off for military merits.

In the dense woods, a group of Ming troops wearing bright armor came to the Jurchen tribe at the foot of the mountain.

Brother Meng, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, immediately ran out to greet him with a smile on his face as soon as he saw the Ming army coming.

"Meet the Commander!"

Brother Meng knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to the Ming officer.

This officer was Li Chengcai, the commander of the Jianzhou Wei of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chengcai is a native of Huaixi, he is considered to be the pawn of the Ming Emperor's army, and he was appointed as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, which is really not enough to see among the Huaixi generals, but for the Jurchen tribe in the jurisdiction, Li Chengcai is a proper soil emperor, if anyone dares to be disrespectful, it will immediately be the head of the ground!

Li Chengcai was already accustomed to Brother Meng's respect, and he didn't mean to let Brother Meng get up, so he looked around the Jurchen tribe with a big grin, and then said.

"His Royal Highness the King of England ordered that the Jurchen tribes such as Er and others serve the Ming Dynasty, and after the collegial agreement of the Liaodong Xingdu Division and the Jianzhou Wei, your Dewo Department can select ten people to recruit troops and go to the Northern Parallel Capital Division to serve!"

The words of Li Chengcai, the commander of Jianzhou Wei, immediately caused a commotion in this small Jurchen tribe.

Brother Meng's face changed, and he already had a faint anger.

For these tribes of white mountains and black waters, all dynasties have been precautionary and utilized.

Especially in the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, these tribes were recruited and sent to the battlefield one after another.

Now that Da Ming has just been here for less than a year, he wants their tribe to send ten young men to the battlefield, and everyone is extremely angry.

It's just that Brother Meng and other Jurchens knew that the Ming army was extremely strong, and even if they were angry in their hearts, they didn't dare to attack.

"My lord, our tribe has a small number of people, and if the ten young men leave, the remaining women and the old and weak will not be able to live!" Brother Meng pleaded pitifully.

The Jurchen tribe lives in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are many grudges and contradictions between each other, once one tribe is weak, it will immediately be attacked by other tribes, even if the Ming army sits in Jianzhou Wei, it is difficult to ensure that the various tribes do not fight.

The men, women, and children of the Devo Department had already gathered around at this time.

wanted to plead with Li Chengcai, the commander of Jianzhou Wei, and let go of the young men of their tribe.

This kind of conscription and military service is often a life of nine deaths, and it is a great blessing to come back alive, and the loss of ten young and strong people is simply not something they can afford.

"Now it's the Great Tomorrow, which tribe dares to make a mistake, Lao Tzu killed him!"

"The king of England ordered that each recruit should first give thirty silver dollars for settling-in expenses, and a monthly military salary of thirty silver dollars.

Li Chengcai interrupted Brother Meng's words and directly threw out the recruitment treatment.

"What? Thirty silver dollars? ”

When Brother Meng heard this, his eyes immediately widened in surprise!

Now the Ming Dynasty has just issued a silver coin called Hongwu ingots, and thirty silver coins are converted into silver, which is equivalent to five taels of silver.

Such a high military salary is simply unheard of for the Jurchens.

The conscription of all dynasties, not to mention the military salary, even their own food and clothing needed to be prepared by the Jurchens themselves.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has recruited troops, it is actually giving such a high military salary, and the Jurchens of the entire Dewo Department are all stunned.

The brothers Arkina and Seth Black also showed ecstatic eyes.

The ginseng, mink, bear skins and other goods that these Jurchen tribes trade every year can only be sold for thirty or fifty taels of silver in Jianzhou City.

Now a young man can earn a military salary of five taels of silver, and everyone does not want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.

"My lord, is it really a military salary of thirty silver dollars?" Brother Meng immediately asked.

Li Chengcai nodded, "Can it still be fake?" His Royal Highness's military orders, who dares to spread them indiscriminately! If you can't get together the number of people in three days, then I won't wait and leave the quota to the Haixi tribes! ”

"It's all together! Let's get it together! Brother Meng hurriedly said.

The reactions of these Jurchens were all expected by Li Chengcai.

The military salary of thirty silver dollars can already make these Jurchens desperate.

Sure enough, after Li Chengcai and the others left, the Jurchens of the entire Dewo Department fought for these ten places, and the Jurchens, who had always been united, broke out into a fierce conflict.

After some scuffle, under the auspices of the leader of the tribe, Brother Meng, the brothers Aqina and Seth Black, who had blue noses and swollen faces, were chosen.

Two days later, the Ming Dynasty's Jianzhou Wei sent people to the Dewo Department.

The ten Jurchen recruits were examined, and after passing, a large bag of silver coins was left.

The rattling of silver coins immediately made the Jurchens completely surrender.

With these silver coins, the entire tribe will no longer be short of life-saving things such as food, salt, and medicinal herbs.

Under Zhu Han's silver coin policy, the Jurchens in the entire Liaodong region took the initiative to send their most elite 10,000 young men, and the various tribes left behind became docile one by one after obtaining sufficient silver coins, and there were no more tribes fighting with each other.

In less than a month, the Northern Parallel Capital Division of the Ming Dynasty recruited more than 10,000 troops in Liaodong, and immediately filled a large number of vacancies.

Monan, Yingchang Mansion.

Zhu Han came to Ying Changwei in person and said to Luo Guanzhong: "As long as you remember my strategy, form a tough village, fight a dumb battle, and don't take the enemy lightly, even if Wang Baobao comes to Mo Nan in person, it is impossible to defeat Ying Chang!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will not forget this strategy!" Luo Guanzhong hurriedly said.

The Ming Dynasty's strategy in the Monan steppe was to contain the mobility of the Mongols with strong fortresses and firearms.

The Mongols could not conquer these fortresses quickly, and they gradually lost control of Monan.

When the various tribes of the Monan Grassland lose the mind to resist, Zhu Han will use follow-up tricks to completely solve the threat that has plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

After Zhu Han finished inspecting Yingchang Mansion, he first took a warship from Haihekou to Yingtianfu.

There have been many accidents recently, which made my brother Zhu Yuanzhang very anxious.

Zhu Han had to go back and help solve it.

Although Zhu Han temporarily left the Northern Parallel Division, after making all the arrangements, he was not worried about any mistakes.

His deployment on the Monan grassland made the Mengyuan court dare not have the slightest courage to go south!

Not to mention so many Ming army fortresses, just thousands of miles of heavy grain and grass made the Mengyuan court powerless.

After all, many of Wang's soldiers were Han Chinese and Jurchens, and they were not accustomed to the nomadic way of marching.

The Monan grassland, which ran thousands of miles away, gave the Ming army a head, and Wang Baobao would not do this kind of stupid thing.

However, the old opponent Wang Baobao was afraid of the strength of the Ming army.

But some other Mongols didn't know the strength of the Ming army, and even felt that it was the best time to invade the Ming Dynasty!

。

。

On the Mobei grassland, it is the time when the horses are fat and strong.

An army of tens of thousands of horses is stationed on the grassland.

"Khan, I went to the front to investigate, and the Ming soldiers and horses in Lanzhou have all retreated, and they can't see anyone."

A Warat man with half-bald hair was excitedly talking to the leader of the Warat in the big tent.

"Good!"

Warat Khan didn't say anything, and immediately clapped his hands happily.

"These Central Plains people have been soaked in fine wine, and they are not our opponents at all."

"Now that he has completely lost his heart and become a coward like a pika, it seems that this Lanzhou City will be captured soon."

With a smug face, Warat Khan touched his beard and smiled proudly.

His beard is not only curly, but also has a yellow sheen.

Coupled with a pair of blue eyes, it doesn't look like an ordinary Mongolian, but like a color-eyed person.

"Khan, our sons are almost recuperating, I think we should lead the army to chase and kill them immediately." One of the Varat marshals shouted loudly.

In the battle a few days earlier, the Varat coalition led by Toli Buhua defeated the troops and horses of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which had advanced lightly.

After chasing and killing along the way, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was almost terrified and fled for more than 300 miles.

The Warats also learned about the alliance between the Ming army and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate from the mouths of the captives, and naturally wanted to take revenge on the Ming army.
