Chapter 551: Why do you want to form an alliance with me?

Jizhigrad was originally a laborer who built roads, but because of his excellent performance, he reported the conspiracy of a certain minor nobleman to escape, and was promoted to foreman on the spot by the official in charge of road construction, and was responsible for supervising the work of other Mengyuan people.

Normally, after becoming a foreman, Jizhigrad did not have to work, and he just carried a whip and commanded others every day.

However, Jizhigrad likes Daming too much, and loves Daming too much, and still insists on being on the front line of road construction.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunxi ordered the Mengyuan laborers who were allowed to build roads to join the army, he was the first to sign up, and because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to 100 households and became a grassroots officer in the Ming Army.

Now he not only has his own pasture, but also his own cattle and sheep, as well as a full-time herdsman who grazes his own herds.

This is a treatment that he has not enjoyed in Meng Yuan's life, even if he fights bravely and forgets to die, he cannot improve his treatment through his military exploits.

Based on this, he is more loyal to Daming and more loving.

"You can be regarded as catching up with a good time, now the Ming Dynasty is going to attack the Northern Yuan, and people who are familiar with the terrain and climate of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are urgently needed to be soldiers."

"Let's see that you are in good health, if you can pass the recruitment of the Ming Dynasty, you will be able to live a good life in the future!"

Jizhigrad left this sentence behind and went to inspect the other herdsmen.

His task is simple: to check the situation of these herders and identify suspicious people among them.

The so-called suspicious person does not have fixed characteristics, and it all depends on his judgment on the spot. Even if he said that the Bozhigde family was suspicious, he could report it directly and General Changda would send someone to review it.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Bozhigde family, a typical poor herdsman, who had the few belongings left on them, and the rest were a dozen skinny sheep, which were still looked after by them.

This kind of person doesn't say that he is full of hatred for Beiyuan, but he also escaped because Beiyuan really couldn't survive, how could there be a problem?

After the departure of his familiar fellow, Bozhige fell into confusion.

Because the next person to interrogate them was not Meng Yuan, but a group of Ming people who could speak Mengyuan.

They questioned him and his family's names, and what possessions he had, and gave him a wooden sign to wait in a tall yurt.

For the first time in his life, Bozhige lived in such a spacious yurt, and he kept rubbing the felt of the yurt, and his eyes were full of greed and envy.

"Abba, this yurt is so beautiful, if only our family could have one, Grandma will never wake up in the middle of the night!"

When Bozhige heard his daughter's words, his eyes regained a little clarity, and then a burst of longing rose.

"We'll have it!"

"When you get married in the future, Abba will give you an identical yurt!"

"Abba is so nice!"

Just as the Božiged family was looking forward to the future, another family came into the yurt. Božigde knew the family, they walked together on the road, took care of each other, and knew each other very well.

"You've been assigned here too?"

"Ah......h

"Brother Bozhigede, do you know what this is for, shouldn't you just give us a tent?"

Bozhige shook his head.

"No!"

"I asked someone when I came, this is just a temporary residence, and when we form an alliance, someone will take us to a new place to live."

"Oooh......"

The new male owner was amazed when he looked at the white yurt.

"This tent is really beautiful, if we can have such a tent in our lifetime, we will be willing to die!"

Bořiged said encouragingly.

"Don't worry, there will be, we will all have it......"

As the two talked, there were more and more people in the yurt, and when they reached ten households, a Meng Yuan man wearing a Ming military uniform walked in.

"You all come with me, I'll take you to get the supplies, and then go to the pasture!"

When the people in the yurt heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Really divided into grasslands?"

"Of course!"

"Daming is not allowed to graze at will, only in the designated pasture, if you graze indiscriminately into other people's pastures, you will be punished!"

Bozhige had known about this rule for a long time, but when he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, what should you do when the spring and autumn season is transferred?"

"According to the rules of the grassland, we can't graze in one place all the time, and we must give the pasture time to recuperate."

"Stupid!"

"You're not going to divide a few areas in your pasture and rotate grazing?"

"Besides, you can grow your own grass......

"Planting grass?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Bozhigde was stunned, but also the others in the yurt.

They have been herding cattle for generations, and they have never heard of growing their own grass. Didn't the grass on the grassland grow on its own after a while?

Seeing that everyone's faces were full of questions, the officer couldn't help but explain.

"Daming is different from the Northern Yuan, here you have to grow your own grass, if the forage in the pasture is still not enough, you can also use cattle and sheep, silver money to buy forage from elsewhere to feed cattle and sheep."

"In short, remember one thing, the Ming people have demarcated where to graze for us, you just stay there honestly, and you must not run around."

"If anyone dares to run around and be caught by the Ming army as a spy, I won't intercede with you!"

"Humph!"

After saying this, the officer lifted the curtain and went out, and the others hurried to follow.

If they expected it to be true, this man would be their leader.

The officer first led a group of herdsmen to a vast pasture, and then took out a map to divide the pasture for each herdsman.

"Božiged......"

"Your ranch is bounded by this river, all the way to the hill to the east, and there are stone monuments to the south and north......"

Bozhige looked at the river in disbelief, at the mountain in the distance, at the green meadows at his feet.

"This is mine?"

"Of course!"

"This is your pasture certificate, but you have to take care of it, if someone else comes to your place to graze in the future and has a lawsuit with you, you can use this thing to fight a lawsuit!"

Bozhigerd was no longer in the mood to listen to these words, and his mind was now full of fantasies, fantasies about running all over the mountains full of cattle and sheep.

"Do I have my own ranch?"

"Immortal Heaven is an eye-opener, and I Bozhigede also has my own ranch, hahaha!"

Seeing this, the officer stopped talking, but watched Bozhigde quietly.

In fact, when he learned that he could get his own pasture, he was even more excited than Bozhigde in front of him.

When Bozhige woke up from his frenzy, the officer took him and the others to the supply and marketing cooperatives of the Hung Yen League to collect supplies.

The so-called Hung Yen League is a few houses made of wood and adobe, a supply and marketing cooperative, a mixed health clinic, and a primary school for teaching children to read and write.

In addition, there are circles of fences, which are full of cattle and sheep, and I am afraid that there are no less than 10,000 of them.

The officers took the herdsmen under their command to receive tents, cattle and sheep, plus enough food rations and grass seeds to support three months, and asked them to put their handprints on the papers.

"We have to explain to you that these things are not for you, they are lent to you by His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you need to repay them with cattle and sheep in the future!"

"It should be, it should be ......"

"Our Emperor Daming is good enough for us, even if we return all the cattle and sheep bred in the future, he should also be!"

The officer shook his head and said.

"Not really!"

"Half of the cattle and sheep bred every year can be given to the imperial grandson, and the rest can be at your disposal."

"Huh?"

"Our imperial grandson only needs to be like this?"

"Of course!"

"Our imperial grandson is the most benevolent and kind person, for fear that you won't be able to get by, so it's just a little bit!"

When the other herdsmen heard this, they were all moved to cry bitterly, and their sense of belonging to Daming suddenly increased countless times.

A month later, all the herdsmen were living and working in peace and contentment under the management of the Ming Dynasty, and all their lives were on the right track.

The Bořiged family has also adapted to a new pasture, as well as a new life.

On this day, when Bozhige was leading his two sons to graze, he suddenly saw a team of 1,000 cavalry surrounding him, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot, respectfully waiting for the other party's questioning.

However, just as he was lying on the ground, shivering like a marmot, he suddenly felt someone kick him.

"Hey!"

"Raise your head!"

Bozhige raised his head worriedly, and saw a gorgeously dressed, young handsome young student, looking at him with a smile.

Bozhigede's heart was relieved and he grinned at the young man.

"If you ask you a few words, you have to answer truthfully."

"Huh?"

Bozhige couldn't understand the Da Ming language, and just when he was stunned, his chief and Baihu rushed to translate for him.

"If the imperial grandson asks you, you have to answer truthfully!"

"Ahh

"You are the imperial grandson?"

"The villain visited the emperor's grandson, and the villain's whole family was fortunate to be alive thanks to the emperor's grandson, and the villain ...... Villain...... Woowoo woo ......"

"Alas, alas!"

"What is the big man crying, hurry up and go back to Lonely, and answer Lone's question honestly!"

"Why did you come to Daming?"

Bozhige looked at his chief stupidly, and hurriedly replied respectfully after hearing the chief translate for him.

"I can't live anymore......"

"The people of the Khan Court want to arrest me to be a soldier, and they want to drive away all my family's cattle and sheep, I really have no choice, so I fled to Daming......"

"Oh......"

Zhu Yunxi has heard this answer many times, and almost all the herdsmen who defected to Daming could not survive in the Northern Yuan.

However, this cannot be all blamed on Beiyuan, Daming also bears an unshirkable responsibility.

The grassland is so big in total, and the warm grassland near the south is still occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Yuan can only live in the north of the desert and endure the harsh natural environment to survive.

Coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty continued to compress the living space of the Northern Yuan, if the Northern Yuan wanted to maintain normal operation, it could only squeeze the low-level herdsmen.

"What are you missing?"

"There is no shortage!"

"Nothing is missing!"

"We now have food and drink, and we can also exchange for cheap salt, iron pots, wooden bowls and other supplies, we are already very satisfied, and we are willing to graze for the noble imperial grandson for the rest of our lives!"

"Have your children ever gone to study in the league?"

"Reading?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Bo Zhigede, who was dazed, and turned a cold face on the spot, and reprimanded the hundred households and Shi Chang behind him.

"How did Lone explain to you?"

"Make sure that every child in the herdsman's family can read and write!"

"Why doesn't anyone in this family study?"

When Shi Chang and Baihu heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed on the spot.

"The emperor's grandson is angry, derelict in his humble work, and is willing to be punished......"

"Each person will be punished with twenty rods, and if there is any further postponement of work, they will all be demoted and dismissed!"

"Emperor Xie's grandson!"

As soon as the two of them finished kowtowing to Zhu Yunxi, they were dragged down by the Jinyi guard behind them and beaten with sticks. The twenty sticks were quickly finished, and the two of them returned to the imperial grandson with the support of their men, and when they looked at Bozhige again, their eyes were full of resentment.

The two of them thought about it, and as soon as the imperial grandson left, they would find the field from this guy, if he dared to drag his son and daughter back from the school in the alliance to work, they would kill this guy!

Zhu Yunxi asked Bozhige a few more questions, which were nothing more than asking for warmth and showing his benevolent side.

After visiting the Bozhigde family, he rewarded them with a few sackcloths as usual, and left with the others.

"Lao Zhang, Lone has a question, why are the composition of these herdsmen's families so consistent?"

"Almost all of them are a couple in the prime of life, with several children, and none of the old people ......"

Zhang Zongjun smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Perhaps?"

"But even if there were, on the way here, it is estimated that I will almost die."

"This ......"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this answer, his heart was also painful.

But he soon forgot about this pain and began to think about it as the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"How long will it be before conscription and conscription?"

This is the purpose of Zhu Yunxi's preferential treatment of Mengyuan herdsmen, and what is given to them now is to let them pay back with their lives after all.

"It's hard to say!"

"If Wanghua education can keep up, it may be effective in less than three years."

"But if you want them to be completely naturalized, it will take three generations to complete, to say the least."

Zhu Yunxi frowned secretly when he heard this.

"It's been too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then......"

Zhang Zongjun smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Your Highness, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, now that the people are not attached, rash conscription and conscription will only make the herdsmen deviate from morality."

"And our battle against the Northern Yuan is about to start, and we must have a stable rear!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded depressedly when he heard this.

"How can you not know Lonely?"

"Lone just wants to completely solve the Northern Yuan problem when the imperial grandfather is alive, so that the imperial grandfather will have a bright face when he goes to see the emperors of the Chinese dynasties!"

"His Royal Highness is sincere and filial, and he is really a model in the world!"

Zhu Yunxi ignored Zhang Zongjun's rainbow fart, turned his horse's head and galloped towards Naturalization City.

After returning to Guihua City, Zhu Yunxi immediately gathered a group of accompanying officials to inquire about the process of the Ming army's recruitment, and urged the mainland to speed up the process of transporting grain and grass.

Just as Zhu Yunxi was sharpening his knife and Huo Huo to the Northern Yuan, he suddenly caught a group of Northern Yuan envoys.

"Let go of me!"

"Shamelessly representing the Great Yuan Khan, the envoy to the Ming Dynasty!"

"The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed!"

Zhu Yunxi listened to the lame words outside the door, and couldn't help but show a hint of a playful smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the people of Beiyuan even learned this sentence?

"Chang Jizu, you go outside and take a look, and bring this group of envoys here!"

"No!"

Not long after, Chang Jizu walked in with a dirty Meng Yuan man and kicked him in the crook of the leg, and the Meng Yuan man fell to his knees.

"Don't you want to meet His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"The Imperial Grandson?"

"I'm going to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has the time to take care of the emperor's grandson!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed instead of anger when he heard this.

"Come on, explain to him, now who has the final say!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zongjun hurriedly stepped forward and said in fluent Mengyuan dialect.

"The person sitting in front of you now is His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been ignoring political affairs for many years, and now all the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty are handled by the imperial grandson."

"If you want to complete your mission as soon as possible, hurry up and meet our Royal Highness!"

"Huh?"

The envoy of Meng Yuan looked at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously, and then looked at Zhang Zongjun with a goatee.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"What are you lying to?"

"If you don't believe it, go to the Immortal Heaven and inquire!"

"Come on, push this person out and cut him down, and send him to see Changshengtian!"

When the envoy of Meng Yuan heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed in fright.

"The foreign minister meets His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"On the order of the new Khan of the Great Yuan, the foreign minister has come to present the alliance document to the Ming Dynasty, and I wish the Ming Dynasty and my Great Yuan will be reconciled forever!"

Zhu Yunxi was directly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, I am gearing up for war here, why do you want to form an alliance with me?

I recommend a new book "Nine Dragons Win the Inheritance, Only I Concentrate on Cultivating Immortals", interested friends can go and take a look.
