Xu Wuniu was sitting around the bonfire with his comrades enjoying mutton wine.

The mutton is a freshly roasted Gobi lamb rib, crispy and tender, not to mention how good the taste is, and the Ming wine has just been delivered, which was transported from Beijing with Xu Wuniu.

You don't need to be chilled to drink wine in winter, just one word, cool!

Xu Wuniumeng poured a big sip of wine, tore off a large piece of meat from the lamb ribs, and said while chewing: "If there is another mother-in-law, this day will be called beautiful." ”

"Haha, Brother Niu wants to marry his mother-in-law."

"Nonsense, don't you want to marry your mother-in-law?"

"Also, the 150,000 infantry who participated in the Northern Expedition are said to have already shared the reward fields and married their mothers-in-law, and they are all living a small life in Gyeonggi, so we haven't made any moves."

"It's coming, our cavalry should be hurrying too."

"Brother Niu, did you hear any rumors?"

Speaking of this, Xu Wuniu suddenly came to his senses, and said with a low smile: "Since I have talked about this today, then I will give you a few letters, that is, in the past few days, King Ding should give our brothers in the 1st and 2nd divisions of the cavalry to divide cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, and more importantly, each person can also share a mother-in-law." ”

"Really?" Several of the other cavalrymen were also excited.

"This is what King Ding said himself, can it be fake?" Xu Wuniu said hurriedly.

As soon as the words fell, I don't know which one suddenly roared outside the tent.

"Hurry up and go to the general's bubble, King Ding's will escort all the women of Chahar Mongolia to the side of the general's bubble, it is said that they will wash the dirt on their faces, and they will share their mother-in-law with everyone!"

"Oh my God, do you really want to divide it? That's got to get over there. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, it's not good to see if it's late."

A few cavalrymen who were chatting with Xu Wuniu just now jumped up and ran out.

"Huh, huh, wait for me!" Xu Wuniu was the last to rush out of the tent.

However, as soon as he ran out of the tent, Xu Wuniu was relieved, because King Ding had personally promised him that he would be the first to choose his mother-in-law, so he didn't have to worry.

……

In an open-air horse pen, hundreds of prisoners of war were held together.

Begging Buhua was one of them, but unlike other prisoners of war, there was no resentment, fear, or anxiety in his eyes, only numbness.

The long period of slave life has long since wiped out the hope of begging for nothing.

Begging for no flower now just wants to get out of this sea of suffering as soon as possible, the world is not worth it.

Speaking of which, Beggar Buhua was once a hundred households of the Chahar Mongol Barbarian Tribe, and he also had his own Aha, and he was also very beautiful and abnormal, but it was precisely because of his wife's beauty that he brought disaster to him, and the barbarian Bel Yanchus shamelessly occupied his Aha and found an excuse to demote him to a slave.

Therefore, there is no mercy for the suffering of the Chahar Mongol tribes.

When Yan Chusi was executed by the Ming army, he was even a little grateful.

It's a pity that his Aha has been tortured to death by Yan Chusi, and he will never see it today.

A group of Ming soldiers appeared outside the horse circle, holding bayonets and shouting: "Hey, give me all out!" ”

The prisoners of war in the horse pen did not react, because they could not understand Chinese, and Qi Buhua could actually understand Chinese, but he didn't get up either, and he didn't care now.

Although the Ming army destroyed the Chahar Mongols.

But for him, it's nothing more than a change of master.

Life in the future will not change for the better just because of a change of master.

"Are you deaf? General Zhao asked you to come out! "This time he was a Mongolian.

The prisoners of war in the horse pen helped each other to get up, and then stumbled outside, and the continuous hunger and cold weather had already exhausted the physical strength of these prisoners of war.

Begging for no flowers, he still sat still, his eyes indifferent.

The Mongol who had just spoken came to the beggar Buhua.

"If you don't spend money, why are you still sitting, hurry up."

Only then did he raise his eyes and look up, and found that the person standing in front of him was an acquaintance, Hai Rigu.

"Begging for no flowers, hurry up, there is a good thing." Hai Rigu patted Begging Buhua's shoulder, and said to the Ming army officer beside him, "This person's name is Begging Buhua, he is a warrior of the Naiman Division, and later he was demoted to a slave because he offended Beile Yanchusi of the Naiman Division, and his Aha and two sons were also killed by Yanchusi. ”

"It turned out to be a miserable person." The officer sighed softly.

Then he said to the beggar flower: "The beggar is not flowered, right?" Our soldiers are not here to conquer Chahar, but to rescue slaves and poor herdsmen who are suffering like you, get up and come with me, as long as your situation is true, you can not only get a share of the pasture, cattle, sheep and horses, but also marry an Aha and go home. ”

"What do you mean?" Beggar Buhua was stunned when he heard this, but there was such a good thing?

"What do you mean, the immortal heaven has appeared, let's go quickly." Hai Rigu didn't have a good breath, "It's late, and the young and beautiful Ahak has been picked." ”

After speaking, Hai Rigu pulled up the beggar flowers.

If you don't spend it, you can only passively follow forward.

……

And General Bubble, Xu Wuniu has already begun to pick his woman.

With nearly 40,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 herdsmen, we must not be able to crowd together to pick people.

Zhu Cijiong and Hu Guozhu made a rule, first divided the selected women of childbearing age into seven phalanxes, the six women's phalanxes corresponded to a cavalry brigade, and the rest belonged to Mongolian herdsmen.

In the cavalry brigade, the order of selection is determined according to the order of military merit.

The only exception is Xu Wuniu, because he is set to be the first merit, and he can be unrestricted.

I saw more than 50,000 Chahar women between the ages of thirteen and thirty, who had already washed their faces and stood in seven phalanxes on the snowfield, waiting anxiously for the men to come and choose.

It can be seen that these Mongolian women do not have much resistance.

The aristocratic women of the steppe can be very powerful, but ordinary women are extremely humble.

Most of the more than 50,000 Mongolian women in front of me were ordinary women, either slave girls or widows of dead men, or daughters of poor herdsmen.

Soon, Xu Wuniu fell in love with a woman.

I saw that this woman did not have the plateau red like other women, and her complexion was fair.

However, there was still a little girl of three or four years old snuggled up to this woman's lap, obviously the woman's daughter, and the little girl was looking at Xu Wuniu with a worried gaze.

】

"You kid is really very discerning, this is the concubine and her daughter of Beleturzi of the Arak Utate."

Zhu Cijiong inquired about Hashitena, and said to Xu Wuniu with a smile: "However, don't blame Gu for not reminding you, you may not be able to control this woman, you are not a good match for her." ”

"I don't care." Xu Wuniu is already iron-hearted.

"King Ding, you promised me, I want this."

"Okay, if you choose well, you can't regret it, and you are not allowed to change it again." Zhu Cijiong said.

"No regrets." Xu Wuniu grinned and said, "Only fools exchange with others." ”

After speaking, Xu Wuniu strode forward and took the woman's hand and said, "Go with Lao Tzu." ”

The woman looked at Xu Wuniu with increasingly frightened eyes, and at the same time desperately tried to break free.

"Hey, the strength is quite strong, come over to me." Xu Wuniu carried the woman on his shoulder, and slapped the woman's ass with his hand, making a snap.

The soldiers who were waiting in line to pick a woman immediately burst out laughing.

And one by one, the eyes became more eager than ever.

Because they found that there were many young and beautiful women.

……

Tokugawa Yoshinao and Horita Masamori spent half a month grinding on the road, and finally arrived at Osaka on the day when Erlong raised his head in early February, preparing to sign the Osaka Treaty with Daming.

However, there are still details to be negotiated before the treaty is finally signed.

After some haggling, the installment was determined to be thirty years.

Then the principal plus interest, 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 20 million catties of copper will be paid every year, and it is agreed that the installments will be paid before the end of February each year.

In other words, Chongzhen's 23-year installment will be paid off soon.

Tokugawa Yoshinao and Horita Masamori rushed back to Edo non-stop to restore their lives to the Tokugawa family.

Chongzhen was not in a hurry at all, because Daming's propaganda had already shown its power, and more and more poor people from Osaka and farmers from the surrounding villages had come to apply.

So far, more than 60,000 Japanese slaves have been recruited.

Moreover, many of the more than 60,000 Japanese slaves were dragged by their families.

As a result, there are actually more than 100,000 Japanese people who have gathered in Osaka.

I have to say that the agricultural production efficiency of this era is really low, and the life of the peasants is also really hard, not only the farmers of the Ming Dynasty, but also the farmers of the Japanese Kingdom are even more bitter, so I heard that they can have a full meal when they go to the Ming Dynasty, and these Japanese people would rather leave their hometowns and take their wives and children to Daming to seek a way to live.

Although it is only necessary to give each of the 100,000 Japanese people a bowl of coarse grain porridge, the sum of the 100,000 Japanese people is not a small amount of food consumed every day, so they have eaten a lot of food for more than a month.

At this time, in order to maintain the image, there was no tax on the citizens of Osaka merchants.

Now, however, with the Treaty of Osaka being signed, taxation can begin.

In addition to this year's regular tax, Chongzhen also apportioned a special tax to Osaka's wealthy merchants such as the Sumitomo family, which is the war tax of the Osaka Winter Battle, which is equivalent to this money to be paid by Osaka's wealthy merchants.

Moreover, the rate of war tax was set very high.

Can't afford to pay? It doesn't matter, you can sell the property.

This is equivalent to a clear robbery, but it is the rich businessmen at the top who are robbed.

Without much effort, most of Osaka's industries became the properties of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also set up an Osaka firm to be responsible for trade between Japan and the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Wangcai invested in the Osaka firm with the original industry, accounting for half of the shares, and was appointed by Chongzhen as the chief treasurer of the Osaka firm, and Xu Sanguan was the second treasurer, accounting for one percent of the shares.

The other more than 300 businessmen who had rebelled became associates.

These guys don't have shares, but they can pay dividends at the end of the year.

Chongzhen is preparing to build the Osaka firm into a model.

In the future, the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty will be governed by such a firm.

Overseas Territories do not need to have a government structure other than military garrisons.

Of course, in the future, after the population of the Ming Dynasty explodes and the number of local immigrants in overseas territories increases, a government structure will definitely have to be formed, but that will be at least a few decades later.
