Chapter 253: Daming Tashi Delek
After the Ming army seized the Hami region, they immediately swept away the remnants of the nearby Mongol Yuan, and any remnants of the Mongol Yuan who dared to resist were slaughtered, and their bodies were hung on desert poplar trees as a warning to anyone who dared to resist the Ming court.
After clearing the resistance, the Ming government began to carry out meticulous and comprehensive governance of the Hami region.
First of all, according to the Ming national policy formulated by Zhu Han, many lands in the Hami area were controlled by the Ming government in the form of lease or redemption.
The land was distributed to the peasants and herdsmen who supported the Ming government, and after acquiring the land, the local farmers and herdsmen of all ethnic groups naturally supported the Ming court from the bottom of their hearts.
If anyone lets the Ming court withdraw from the Hami region, it will be equivalent to cutting off the life and life of these people.
In addition, Daming has also set up special tax management and inspection departments in various important trading cities and oases.
These customs are not simply levied, but are carefully checked to avoid double taxation.
In the past, Hami and other regions were under different spheres of influence, and almost every oasis had its own lord.
The taxes levied by the various lords were not recognized by each other.
That is to say, if you do business in the Hami area, you have to pay a tax every time you go to a place.
In this way, it has caused a great burden on many small and medium-sized businessmen.
But Da Ming avoided this situation.
The government has specially formulated a unified tax stamp, as long as the commercial tax can be paid anywhere in a certain area, then other places can avoid double tax payment by virtue of the payment voucher.
In this way, the government has won the enthusiastic support of almost all small and medium-sized businessmen.
In the usual desert oasis, there are often robbers and bandits who specialize in killing people and stealing goods.
After the joint dispatch of the Ming officers and soldiers and the inspection department, it took less than two months to sweep away the surrounding bandits and robbers.
In fact, behind these bandits and robbers, there are shadows of lords everywhere.
The Ming government suppressed those lords, and the bandits and robbers naturally had no soil for survival.
In order to ensure this hard-won peace and stability, the Daming Hami Xingdu Division set up Tuntian soldiers in many oases.
These Ming soldiers were considered a kind of production troops, they cultivated the land, sowed grain, opened a simple arsenal, and also took into account local security and daily training.
The setting up of Tuntian soldiers in Hami was also a strategy formulated by Zhu Han himself.
Because the people of various ethnic groups in the Hami area live in a mixed manner, the number of Han people is too small, which is very detrimental to future stability and prosperity.
Therefore, it is necessary to garrison troops in the local area for a long time, and take root in the power of the Ming court in the form of tuntian soldiers.
As the Tuntian soldiers of the Daming Hami Xingdu Division, Li Shan and Wang Gui are still in the same military tun.
When Li Shan and Wang Gui were in the Northern Parallel Capital, they were already comrades-in-arms.
It's just that at that time, they didn't like each other.
Because one of them is a Huaixi Han and the other is a Liaoyang Jurchen.
But after staying in a military camp for a long time and getting to know each other better, no one cares about the origin of the Han Jurchens anymore, anyway, there are no Jurchens in the household registration book of the Ming Dynasty.
All the Jurchens, as long as they submitted to the Ming Dynasty, they were all marked as Han Chinese.
Zhu Han's clever method made the Jurchens disappear into the long river of history.
Li Shan and Wang Gui, as comrades-in-arms for many years, have been promoted after coming to Hami because they have accumulated a lot of military merits.
Li Shan was appointed as the general manager of the Thousand Households of Hami Wei Huozhou, and Wang Gui was appointed as the deputy general manager.
Daming Hami, Huozhou Thousand Households.
As a thousand-household office to ensure the local safety of Huozhou, Huozhou Qianhu is located on a vacant land three miles away from Huozhou City.
It is a land near a river, and it was originally a horse farm for the Mongols.
Since the Ming army came, the horse farm was abolished and turned into the military camp of the Daming Huozhou Guard. The Ming army stationed more than 300 soldiers and horses in the Thousand Households of Huozhou.
Although it is called a thousand households, there is a serious shortage of personnel here in Hami.
There are often only three or five hundred people in a thousand-household office, and the remaining shortfall needs to wait for the imperial court to slowly replenish it, or if the thousand-household officials of each thousand-household office have the ability, they can also recruit themselves. It's just that the population here in Hami is much smaller than that of the Central Plains, and it is even more difficult to recruit a qualified soldier.
As one of the thousands of households in Huozhou, Li Shan is actually very leisurely every day.
In addition to inspecting the training of soldiers in the morning, the rest of the time is to squat in his room and carefully study the latest combat training manual issued by the imperial court.
The current Ming army, under the impetus of Zhu Han, has implemented a modern standard officer training process.
Qianhu Guan is already considered a mid-level army commander, and he must meet the study standards every year before he can continue to serve as an officer and general in the army.
Therefore, although Li Shan is busy with affairs every day, he does not dare to relax at all about learning the new exercise manual.
Early this morning, Li Shan first went to inspect the barracks and Tuntian.
After returning at noon, I had a lunch, and I didn't even take a nap, so I went straight to study the training manual that I hadn't finished reading.
After studying for an hour, Li Shan was already a little dizzy.
At this time, a crisp and gentle voice came from the side.
"Boss. Do you want to drink tea? ”
Li Shan looked up and saw that it was his mother-in-law who had just married and walked in with a cup of fragrant tea.
There is also a small fruit bowl next to the tea, on which are stacked some red dates, raisins, cut cakes and other local snacks in Hami.
As a poor person in Huaixi who once had a problem even eating, Li Shan is very satisfied with his current life.
After Li Shan's mother-in-law put the tea and snacks on the table, he grabbed the slender waist branch of the mother-in-law and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Mrs. Li Shan's curly hair gently brushed his face, which suddenly made him feel angry, and a pair of big hands began to be dishonest.
Li Shan's mother-in-law is called Di Linazha, and she is not a Han Chinese, but a local Wu'er people.
She was born in a family of Wuer merchants, and after Li Shan served as a thousand households in Huozhou, he was introduced by a local Ming official and became a relative to the daughter of a wealthy businessman who was afraid of Wu'er, and he took root in Hami.
Li Shan's wife is beautiful and smart, and she has brought him a large dowry, and the two of them are naturally very affectionate.
Now, Li Shan's life in Hami is so sweet.
The only thing the two of them lack is a child.
However, they have just gotten married, and Li Shan is not in a hurry.
The husband and wife got hotter and hotter in the room, and soon sparks were hard to extinguish.
Li Shan rushed over, kicked the door shut, and then picked up his wife Di Li and threw her on the bed.
Subsequently, it was naturally a big battle in the dark.
A moment later.
Li Shan left his wife Di Li to pack up her clothes and bed, and walked out of the door very happily.
At this time, it was already snowing in Hami.
Take a breath of fresh air and stand in the middle of the yard to be very refreshing.
Especially after the dark ground just now, Li Shan's mind is now unusually clear.
He suddenly remembered that this afternoon was the day when Wang Gui, the deputy of the Thousand Households in Huozhou, should be on duty.
Thinking of Wang Gui's little problem of greedy for a cup of good wine, Li Shan felt that he should go to check the gang.
After instructing his wife Di Li, Li Shan came to Wang Gui's residence.
Really.
Before he stepped into Wang Gui's house, he heard Wang Gui's voice from inside.
Wang Gui was scolding his wife loudly, and at the same time, he was still throwing things around, obviously drunk again.
When Li Shan heard this, his face suddenly sank, pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and shouted inside.
"Wang Gui! You Jurchen brute, get out of here. ”
Hearing Li Shan's voice, the sound of Wang Gui messing around in the house disappeared immediately.
However, Wang Gui did not come out of the room, but began to pretend to be dead inside.
For Wang Gui, an old comrade-in-arms, Li Shan has long known his temperament.
After Wang Gui came to Hami, he was also promoted by virtue of his military merits and served as Li Shan's deputy deputy Qianhu in Huozhou.
However, Wang Gui is not very good-tempered.
The wife he asked for was a cowardly and obedient character, and everything in the family was left to Wang Gui to do nothing.
Today's thing of leaving the post to go home to drink and beat his wife is not once or twice.
When Li Shan entered the room, he saw Wang Gui sitting on a wooden chair with a wine jug in his hand.
His wife was sitting next to her, holding a ball of yarn in her hand, and it seemed that she had just been knitting a sweater.
This kind of wool yarn issued by the Ming government is the most popular thing in the Hami area.
Every woman whose family conditions are okay is learning to weave woolen clothes.
Whoever owns the latest wool thread is definitely a very enviable thing in Hami.
After all, these latest styles of sheep wool are worth a lot of money, and a sweater with a wool thread costs almost as much as a tael of silver, a proper luxury.
Wang Gui's wife is also a local Wuer woman in Huozhou, but her background is relatively low, and she is a peasant family.
In addition, Wang Gui, a Jurchen, has grown up in barbarism and rudeness since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to love his wife, let alone Qin Se and Ming.
This is almost commonplace to yell at his wife after drinking too much.
Although Wang Gui's wife didn't like this, she didn't have any unnecessary complaints.
After all, Wang Gui is still a figure with a head and face in the Ming Dynasty on the ground in this Huozhou.
As long as she leaves the house, Wang Gui's wife is the object of envy of everyone.
So it's nothing to be idle at home.
What's more, Wang Gui only threw and beaten, yelled and scolded, and never really beat women.
After Li Shan reprimanded Wang Gui, he pulled him out of the house, went to the Huozhou Health Station, and returned to his post.
Li Shan continued to teach Wang Gui a lesson, repeatedly stating that he would definitely report his recent poor performance to Hami Xingdusi.
After hearing that Li Shan wanted to report his situation to the capital division, Wang Gui finally lost the rogue anger of hob meat just now, and licked his face instead, and began to shout affectionately from his brother and younger brother, begging Li Shan to let him go this time.
After getting Wang Gui's assurance, Li Shan no longer pursued it, after all, at this time, the Hami area had entered winter, and any bandits and robbers were dormant, and they generally would not come out to do evil at this time.
The climate here in Hami is very different from that in the Central Plains.
In the summer, it can heat people to the spot and roast them, and in the winter, the cold wind and howling snow are not much worse than the "white-haired" storms on the grassland.
In such bad weather, no one can survive in the wilderness in the middle of winter.
In the past, those bandits and robbers would quietly hide their identities in the winter, looking for a safe place to spend the winter.
Now, after the joint action of the Ming Dynasty and the Inspection Division, the bandits and robbers in the Hami area have been swept away, and even if there are scattered remnants, they do not dare to invade such a military important place as the Qianhu Institute in Huozhou.
Unless they are eating the gall of the ambitious leopard, plus the head is dizzy.
As long as the training and patrol tasks are completed in accordance with the regulations, the rest of the time can be at home with the delicate wife of Wuer, drinking wine, eating barbecue, and then closing the door and fighting 300 rounds on the hot kang.
Such a happy day is a good day for Wang Gui, a Jurchen in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaoyang, who can't even think of it.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
So Wang Gui immediately said that he would quit drinking from now on and would never dare to violate military rules again.

Uszangdu Division, Kham region.
As the only way to enter the ancient tea horse road from Sichuan to Wusizang, the Kham area is a very important commercial distribution center.
From which all the original goods are bound to go through the Kham region.
This has led to an extremely thriving business in the region.
The situation in the Usi-Tibet region is actually very similar to that in the Hami region.
The land was also relatively poor, and a large number of serfs and herders gathered on a small number of habitable plains.
They were all the private property of the noble lords of Uszang.
Whether it is daily life, birth, old age, sickness and death, everything is decided by their local serf owners.
Even when the slave owner Tusi wanted to do something and needed to sacrifice with human life, he would not hesitate to kill the serfs.
And the serfs who were chosen to be sent to death had no room for resistance at all.
Because once they resist, on the one hand, they will implicate their own families, and on the other hand, they will feel that they are disrespectful to the Buddha, which will lead to endless suffering in their reincarnation.
Buddhism here is like a mantra tied to the head, and the serfs in the Us-Tibetan region are extremely respectful and obedient to their lord Tusi, both physically and mentally.
After the Ming official army entered the Wusi-Tibet region, they began to set out to release these serfs.
It's just that it was a bit difficult at first.
The local lords of Uszang, the Tusi, were stubborn and unusually strong, and they had a large number of private armed forces in their hands.
After seeing that the Ming Dynasty was going to reform them, they naturally couldn't tolerate it.
In just three months, four large-scale rebellions broke out in the entire Kham region.
If it weren't for the heroic and well-equipped officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stationed here, I am afraid that the Ming army would have been driven out by the rebels by now.
After the Ming officers and soldiers eliminated these rebellions, the Kham area was slightly stabilized.
After eliminating several powerful toasts, the Ming government directly distributed the farmland and pastures of these toasts to the rescued serfs.
After obtaining the grain, houses and land allocated by the Ming government, these serfs woke up like a dream.
Only then did they believe that the Ming government was really here to rescue them, not the oppressors who were in cahoots with the serfs and Tusi.
Of course.
The Daming government is not a good mother, they are actually exploiters, but the degree of exploitation is much lighter than that of the serf owner Tusike.
