On the other hand, it is because the Ming Dynasty began to promote the silage method, so that the majority of herdsmen breathed a sigh of relief, through continuous trade with the Ming Dynasty, many Mongolians have also made a fortune, which makes them very grateful to the Ming Dynasty.

For these people, it is really an honor to be a dog of Daming.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, they might have been oppressed by the Mongol nobles for generations, how could they live as easily as they do now?

This is actually the changes brought about by He Qiu, but He Qiu himself doesn't know anything about these changes.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's presence, many Mongolians are eager to perform well in front of him, maybe they will be able to fight for a future.

The number of participants in this Naadam conference was much more than King Ning expected.

Many Mongolian men are constantly doing warm-up exercises on the side, secretly competing with each other.

Although Lan Yu was a little anxious in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, otherwise how could he be called happy with the people?

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the stands, carrying Zhu Gaochi to watch with relish, and the grandparents and grandchildren were smiling, but they were suffering from the soldiers who had been on duty on the side.

The Mongols hoped to show their bravery in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but the elite soldiers who received Zhu Yuanzhang's orders to participate in the conference also did not want to fail.

In any case, since they chose to participate, of course, they hope to be the biggest beneficiary of the conference.

Especially now they also represent the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and participate in the competition, to a certain extent, they also represent the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, the son of heaven.

But because of this, the two sides are really hot, archery and horse racing are better, and the wrestling scene is tragic enough.

Almost everyone on both sides of the contest hung the lottery, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang watching at the scene, I'm afraid this matter would have turned into a fight for the life of a group of people.

The Mongols and some Han people who were watching from the sidelines didn't care about this, but just cheered loudly, only feeling that the conference was too exciting.

This Naadam conference lasted for three days, and Zhu Yuanzhang waited here for three days, waiting for the end of the conference.

He Qiu ran to find Zhu Yuanzhang and suggested.

"Your Majesty is invited to bring out a group of victorious Mongols, serve as a hundred households in the army, or directly act as His Majesty's personal guards, which is also the old skill of the Huns and Turks."

The Huns and Turks did have a tradition of selecting warriors from the small tribes around them, and then recruiting them into their own tribes, and thereafter becoming their own men.

If they don't, how can the small population of the two ethnic groups alone rule the vast grasslands?

What's more, any Mongolians who can stand out from such a conference are also in good shape, or they have their own unique skills.

They just can't really become generals of one side, but as guards and charges, they are still qualified.

Not to mention, the Ming Dynasty is rich in materials, once they break away from the Mongolian tribes, it won't be long before they are fully integrated into the Ming system, and maybe they will be more loyal than the average Han Chinese.

Because what they can rely on in Daming is only the Son of Daming.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was indeed quite cost-effective, and he could quietly recruit the elite of the Mongols in a gentle manner.

So before Zhu Yuanzhang left, he specially called the Mongolian nobles who were still in Daning to announce their decision.

And this measure of selecting Mongols was set as a national policy, and it would be implemented every year in the future, and these people would become middle and low-level officers of the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian nobles were completely unaware of the sinister intentions of the Ming Dynasty, but they were very happy, because once these warriors went to the Ming Dynasty, it was out of face, and the Ming Dynasty would not be too harsh on the tribe from which the warriors were born.

After bidding farewell to Daning's group, Zhu Yuanzhang led a bunch of people around him and continued to set off north.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately asked Lan Yu to follow the route he took to exterminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and marched all the way to the fishing sea.

On the way, I passed through the Liaohe River, which was also the place where Naha surrendered when the Ming Dynasty was beaten.

Nowadays, in this vast grassland, there are Duoyan Sanwei, and the soldiers among them are all in Daning, in the military system of the Ming Dynasty, but their people are recuperating in this area with abundant water and grass.

Zhu Yuanzhang keenly felt that if this area was left to Duoyan Sanwei like this, I was afraid that it would increase their ambitions that they should not have.

He Qiu referred to history and also knew that the later Wuliangha Sanbu also rebelled and descended, becoming a disaster in the early Ming Dynasty.

In this case, of course, it is more appropriate to divide this land.

He Qiu immediately suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang continue to immigrate to this land and immigrate to the Han people.

Although this area can be used for grazing, it is obviously more profitable to use it for farming!

It's just that the Liaohe Plain and the Monan Grassland have always been next to each other, and if they are cultivated in this place, Zhu Yuanzhang also has to consider the cost.

In case the Ming Dynasty is cultivating here, the Mongols rebelled, and with the characteristics of the cavalry coming and going like the wind, I am afraid that the results of the Ming Dynasty's reclamation will all fall into the hands of the Mongols.

In addition, it is because the area around the Liaohe River is so cold, so cold that almost no people are willing to take the initiative to choose to go to eastern and western Liaoning.

Even in the previous Daning, the winter was extremely cold, and the immigrants who went to the reclamation were all semi-forcibly escorted by the imperial court.

There are very few people in the Ming Dynasty today, and most of them were like this at the beginning of the dynasty.

Naturally, there are many fewer people who have become tenants, and most of the people who are willing to leave their homes are people in the Yellow River area and are often flooded by the Yellow River.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little guilty in his heart, the problem of the Yellow River was already a long-standing problem, but the court had no money in his hands before, so he could only turn a blind eye all the time.

Now that the imperial court has money, the first thing to maintain and build is the river of the Huai River system, who made Anhui the place where Zhu Yuanzhang started?

Out of such political considerations, Zhu Yuanzhang could only postpone the needs of the people along the Yellow River again, and use the means of immigration to alleviate the suffering of the people as much as possible.

But this time he went to Liaoxi, and Zhu Yuanzhang found that even if the people along the Yellow River were relocated to Liaoxi, they did not get too many benefits, and they could only keep themselves from starving to death, but there was still the threat of freezing to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart softened, and he ordered to exempt all parts of western Liaoning from taxes for three years, in fact, this is also the emperor's due intention to go on patrol.

It's just that the previous places such as Beiping and Zunhua were all relatively wealthy places, and Zhu Yuanzhang's tax exemption was relatively small, only exempted for one year.

Don't look at the modern development of Liaoxi, just take it for granted that this is also quite worthy of reclamation.

Today's western Liaoning, a large area of black soil, in the frost period is as hard as a stone, relying on manpower to reclaim the land is very difficult, if it is not because of this, the people will not be reluctant to have food and clothing, after all, the northeast is vast and sparsely populated.
