Chapter 339: Zhao Shengjun
In this way, the barbaric King Kangju was finally forgiven by the Empress Dowager for invading the Delhi Sultanate because of the many congratulatory gifts to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.
Barbarian!
That's what it looks like.
Barbarians are killing each other.
As long as he is obedient to Da Ming.
As for the Delhi Sultan......
Delhi was slaughtered by Timur after the city, not only all that could be destroyed was destroyed, but the remaining craftsmen who did not kill also captured Samarkand, as for the Delhi Sultan Nasir al-Din fled, at this time I don't know where it was, but before Delhi was captured, he sent a team of messengers to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Delhi Sultanate in history existed in name only, but in fact fell into turmoil, and even the subsequent Sayyid dynasty was established by Hazr Khan, the governor of Lahore and other places who had surrendered to Timur more than ten years later.
However, Da Ming can still send someone to give Nasir-al-Din a little support.
But not let the Ming army.
Anxi commanded many of the subordinates of the envoy to have a connection with him.
In fact, last time they even asked him for help, trying to get him to send troops north to fight against the Ming army, the two sides of the Himalayas are still very frequent, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many emirs in this area, and the Mughal Empire even have a relationship by marriage, for example, the missionary who went to the Western Regions at the end of the Ming Dynasty recorded that the ruler of Yarkand and the Mughal emperor were cousins, and he was sheltered by the latter, so he could safely pass through southern Xinjiang.
So this kind of thing can be handed over to Ma Hama, the king of Shule County in the Ming Dynasty.
Ever since he separated from his nephew, he has been like his nephew, showing his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in a competitive manner.
Let him gather some of his men and horses to go south to find the Sultan of Delhi among his Tusi, and tell him that the Ming Emperor has not forgotten his loyalty and is preparing for a crusade against Timur.
Hold on!
You will wait until the light.
As for when to wait is another matter.
But Da Ming won't lie to him, he will definitely wait for Da Ming's soldiers to save him.
In the sound of drums, a group of tribute envoys to the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday stepped forward, in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, to offer their congratulatory gifts to the Queen Mother, of course, there are also Tusi like Li Jinzhong, as well as such as Xile Wei, Qixi Wei, these Huining command envoys under the jurisdiction of the guards.
Although they are guards, these chaotic tribes are still very obedient all these years.
Completely self-proclaimed to be a big dog.
They were originally scattered among the white mountains and black waters, and they didn't manage it before, killing each other, but now that they are in charge of it, they enjoy peace.
It's the poor point.
But they don't care either.
In terms of their living environment, there is no difference between being poor and rich.
Can eat enough, can buy the goods of the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs can eat sugar and drink tea, can also wear silk, and do not fight with each other, this kind of life is like heaven compared to the past, and even some of the chiefs' descendants can also move to live in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the name of tribute to the capital, and then bribe the officials of the Ministry of Rites to play, saying that in order to feel the grace of the Ming Emperor, they asked to stay in the capital to be exposed to the rain and dew, and finally got Zhu Yuanzhang's permission to study in the country, but in fact they read a fart!
How good it is to spend all day and drink.
Anyway, their tribe can still afford to raise them in the capital.
It's just that they can't go back.
With life in the capital, who wants to return to the bitter cold land of Huining?
"I'm going to have to give them something to do!"
Yang Feng stood beside the little princess and looked at the loyal dogs who were bowing.
He just got the current demographic numbers of these guys, although as a guard, Da Ming actually doesn't care about their internal population, but now that they are all collected, then by the way, it is okay to count them. But the statistics showed that their population had increased, especially his cheap old man Aha Chu, or Li Jinzhong, the Xuanfu envoy of Dongning in the Ming Dynasty, who already had nearly 30,000 men. It's definitely not on his own, it's only been seven years, and he can't give birth to much, that is to say, this old guy has been recruiting new people, of course, not that he wants to rebel, but he is originally the most prosperous place along the coast of Huining, and it is also the center of ginseng trade, as well as Changbai Mountain Temple, the transportation line to the Huining reclamation area.
There will be a large number of displaced people in this kind of place.
North Korean refugees.
Displaced people from the Japanese Kingdom.
They will all make a living from him.
In particular, many of the exiles and lower-class samurai of the Wa Kingdom who could not eat followed the trading ships to Longquan Mansion to trade.
In this case, it is inevitable to leave the original employer and go directly to Li Jinzhong.
As for the homeless people in North Korea, it is normalized, and the people who can't bear the oppression of the Li family can only go north if they want to flee.
Li Jinzhong also needs manpower, after all, he still has to maintain the transportation line to Huining, whether it is land or water, he needs a large number of manpower, and he has a special identity, but his daughter Green Slave is also Yang Feng's concubine, this kind of thing neither Li Chenggui nor Qi Bin will care.
Ambassador Yang can talk about three women......
Theoretically, yes.
"Hmph, it's not that vixen yet, he has governed Huining too well, and even these barbarians have a good life."
The little princess snorted coldly.
Of course, she is actually satisfied with the green slave, after all, the latter is constantly creating wealth for her, and the continuous expansion of the Huining reclamation area allows soybeans from the far north to continue to go south, and then turn into a higher value dung pill to sell to southern farmers, and sometimes even sometimes it is too late to produce dung pills, so they simply sell soybean cakes directly, although the effect is slightly worse, but because there are fewer processing links, they actually earn more.
The dung pill is mainly mixed with bird droppings and insect killers.
But for farmers, soybean cakes are cheaper and more cost-effective.
Although theoretically it will be a loss of money, but in fact it has long been profitable, and the yield of each paddy field using dung is more than 30%, and the value brought by this is not at all that money can measure. The increase in grain production brings stability to the rule, an increase in the non-agricultural population that can be fed, the growth of industry and commerce, the increase in taxes, and it can even be said that under the current situation, the areas controlled by the imperial court are still prosperous and stable, which is supported by these soybeans.
It's not money to measure.
And what is money?
The little princess's printing house was opened, and the money was constantly being printed.
Yang Feng smiled slightly.
"Queen Mother, I suddenly remembered that these people who are bound by the guards are the most hardy, King Yan is about to conquer the west of Hanhai, and the biggest problem there is the severe cold, although we can't send a large army to assist, but we can let the Tusi and the guards from all over the country participate.
Such as Hui Ningwei, who was originally trapped in the mountains and forests, did not have many ways to make money.
Now you can participate in the Western Expedition to make money.
And according to this example, when the king of Shu and other kings open up in the future, they can also let the Tusi of Yungui and other places send troops to participate, and they will also loot their own property when they go, as long as they are not allowed to carry the population, these goods will be as they please. In this way, they also have a way to make money, we also provide help to the kings, and let them also feel the grace of the Great Ming, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not forgotten them in the mountains, and they are also a part of the Ming Dynasty. ”
He said to the Queen Mother.
"In this way, it depends on the ambassador, and how to formulate the purpose will be bothered by my aunt."
The Queen Mother said with a smile.
This is about her, Yang Feng can play whatever she likes!
The little princess immediately agreed.
Yang Feng left quietly, and then ran to Li Jinzhong, who had already climbed the city wall and was watching the follow-up tribute......
"Old, naturally everything listens to the Queen Mother."
He hurriedly agreed.
"This is a good thing for you, your children and grandchildren will spend a lot of money in the capital, right?"
Yang Feng said.
Several of the Bondage Commanders who also came in person nodded their heads.
That's for sure.
One by one, they came out of the deep mountains and old forests, and when they came to this kind of flower world, there was money from the family behind, of course, they couldn't control themselves, like those entertainment venues, these people with the title of commander on their heads, they were all important guests, not to mention that spending money was also very luxurious. And it's easy to deceive, the year before last, there was a grandson of a certain guard commander, who killed someone because he was cheated out of money and wealth, Lao Zhu exempted him from the death penalty, mainly because he was deceived and even Lao Zhu sympathized with him. Although they all have tribes behind them, these tribes are nothing more than selling some ginseng and animal skins and various medicinal materials to make money, and they have to be squeezed by profiteers, as well as catching wild animals for the wealthy families in the capital, especially the moose that Yang Feng rode at the beginning is very popular.
They don't actually make much money.
At first, these guys didn't understand, they didn't spend so much money, and there were few people, and now it's been seven years, which one doesn't have a few concubines and children in the capital?
Spending more and more money.
These commanders also have to face the dissatisfaction of the tribe!
"So, I'm going to find you a new way to make money.
King Yan's expedition to the west, you go to loot together, the people he has to deal with in the west are those who were beaten by the Mongols in the west, and they knelt down and begged for mercy, and if they really fight, one of you can beat ten of them, and the only trouble is cold.
But that's not a problem for you. ”
Yang Feng said.
Li Jinzhong and the others immediately laughed.
Indeed, when it comes to carrying the freezing, who else can resist the frost more than them?
Some of them are even north of Heilongjiang, and the cold is terrible for others, but for them it is daily life.
Bitter cold?
Have you ever seen minus 50 degrees?
"Of course you can't go by yourself, go back and choose those who are usually unruly, don't listen to you, and even want to rebel against you, and let them participate in the Western Expedition, just say I call on you. If I talk about the Western Regions better, I will let the monks in the temple say the same, and the merchants who will go there in the future will also say the same, in short, it will be said that there is gold everywhere.
You buy armor from me on credit for them, and when they have robbed them, you will return them with the gold and silver you have robbed.
Let's divide the money equally.
If you die outside......"
Yang Feng said and smiled slightly.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Indeed, it's good to die outside!
The living bring back silver and gold, and the dead settle the evil.
Either way, it's a win.
"But in that case, it's better to give them a banner that is easy to agitate."
Li Jinzhong said.
"Flag?"
Yang Feng groaned.
Then he turned his head to look at the Queen Mother on the city wall.
"The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and you also believe in Buddhism, in order to show your loyalty to the Queen Mother, you formed a Western Expeditionary Legion by yourself, followed King Yan to the west, and promoted Buddhism to the Western Regions for the Queen Mother? Find some eminent monks to follow, so that the Dharma can be extended to the sentient beings of Taixi? ”
He said.
In order to show loyalty to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen tribes formed an army and traveled west to Eastern Europe to promote Buddhism......
This is really interesting!
This can be regarded as the Ming version of the Crusader.
The nature is similar, that is, those fettered tribal chiefs, in order to make a fortune, but also to send out those disobedient under their own command, give them high-sounding banners, and let them go outside to burn and loot. Anyway, they killed others and brought back gold, silver and jewels to the tribes behind, and others killed them and solved the scourge for the chiefs behind. And this work can continue, such a legion will be set up under Zhu Di, and in the future, Tusi and Guardians from all over the country can spontaneously go and join. There is no shortage of guards in the current Ming Dynasty, Huining, Fusang, and even Mongolia on the plateau, all of which are guards who believe in Buddhism, not to mention a bunch of toast.
They can do it!
Anyway, it's a poor mountain and a bad water with no way out, and there is really no possibility of turning over with those chiefs unless they rebel.
Those chieftains were canonized by the Ming Dynasty.
Even if they have the ability to kill the chief, they still have to solve the problem of Da Ming's recognition, but in this way, they can open up outside, and even if they don't return to their own tribe, they can follow Zhu Di outside, and the latter will definitely welcome them.
In fact, King Yan is doing everything he can to fool more people into following him.
And he was already very prestigious in the Jurchens, the latter was theoretically conquered by him, and there were Jurchen beauties in his palace.
To follow King Yan's expedition to the west is no psychological burden for the Jurchens.
In short, what a prospect.
Of course, their families were in the hands of the original chief.
So......
The latter can also make a fortune in their separation from the tribe.
For Yang Feng, it solves the hidden danger of the growing population of these tribes.
Although it is only a hidden danger, it has to be prevented after all.
After solving this side of him, he immediately returned to Chengtianmen, when the envoys who paid tribute were finally completed, Li Jinzhong, who had already prepared, immediately took the tribute envoys from Huining, and ran to the Chengtianmen to bow to the Queen Mother, and then said that Huining Tusi, the guards were willing to choose warriors to go to the Western Regions for the Queen Mother, follow King Yan to the west, and promote Buddhism to the land of Taixi. Of course, this request was immediately approved by the Queen Mother, and people like this kind of believers in Buddhism are still very supportive of this kind of thing, and besides, it is not the Ming Dynasty that sent troops, and there is no need to pay military expenses, so not only agreed, but also decided to invite the master from the plateau to accompany him, and also gave the name to this legion......
Zhao Shengjun.
Directly under the Queen Mother.
And the Empress Dowager personally appointed Master Daoyan, a senior monk who had traveled west with King Yan, as the military envoy of Zhaosheng.
And then the rest is their own business.
The Queen Mother only rewarded them with a few flags, a holy decree, and they solved everything else by themselves, so the first knight order of the Ming Dynasty was officially formed......
Zhao Shengjun.
