In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, launched the first Northern Expedition to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan.

In this battle, the Ming army was divided into two routes.

One route was led by Li Wenzhong, out of the wild fox ridge, chasing and killing Emperor Yuan Shun.

The other route was led by Xu Da out of Xi'an and eliminated Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao, known as Timur Timur, is a native of the Mongolian Boye Taibu, but highly sinicized.

The soldiers under his command were also mainly armed by the Han people in Henan, and the local Han troops in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Gansu were incorporated.

Hey, why are they all Han Chinese?

Who allowed the Southern Song Dynasty to destroy the Great Wall and was unable to go on the Northern Expedition, resulting in the Han people in the north and the Han people in the south.

From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty made indelible contributions to the pattern of pluralism and integration of various ethnic groups with the Han nationality as the main body.

With the defeat of Wang Baobao, the last armed force, mainly Han Chinese, disappeared.

Time flies, and in the Jiajing period, Altan Khan rose.

In order to achieve "mutual market trade", Altan Khan plundered outside the city of Beijing, which is known as the Gengxu Change.

A large number of Han Chinese were taken captive to Guihua City to cultivate the land.

In the fifth year of Longqing, Altan Khan and the Ming Dynasty reached a tribute and mutual market, and was canonized as the king of Shunyi by the Ming Dynasty.

From then on, the Ming Dynasty lived in harmony with the left-wing Mongols, and many Han Chinese could not stand the heavy taxes and forced labor, so they went to cultivate outside the Saiwai.

The right-wing Mongols, which had always been in a state of hostility with the Ming Dynasty, were also in this situation.

There were also many Mongols who defected to the Ming Dynasty and became a dun army sleeping in a cave.

If anyone is chosen to be the head of a general, they will slaughter the only sheep in the family and celebrate with great vigour.

Why is this happening?

Because the clans, nobles and scholars of the Ming Dynasty are all like birds like the Mongolian Han and Nuoyan, and they only think of ways to exploit the low-level people of their own clan.

The only difference is that one is farming, and the other is robbing.

In the blink of an eye, during the Chongzhen period, Yang Chengying imprisoned Lin Dan Khan and severed the remnant Yuan Khan.

At the same time, it means that the state of one poor ghost robbing the other poor ghost is over.

"So, we have to live in harmony and make life better."

Yang Chengying persuaded: "Use a high-quality iron pot to cook fatty mutton." Instead of using his mind elsewhere again, he ended up beating chickens and eggs. ”

"If you have a strategy, your subordinates will keep it in mind and never dare to forget it."

Dolzidarhan put his left hand in front of him and gave Yang Chengying a salute.

Yang Chengying smiled slightly, took his hand and walked forward: "Let's go, let's take a look at the situation in the steel workshop." ”

About 110 miles southeast of Jining, there is an iron mine.

The steel mill was built there.

Most of the coal from Datong was transported there.

After the coal is coking, the iron is smelted.

However, because the iron ore there is poor, it cannot be directly entered into the blast furnace.

It must be sintered in advance.

The purpose of Yang Chengying's stay in Jining was also to teach craftsmen to make simple iron-making tools such as sintering furnaces and converters.

As for the construction of the blast furnace, Yang Chengying, as in Chaoyang County, chose to "run in small steps".

It is to build several blast furnaces that can be achieved by ancient technology according to local conditions.

Each blast furnace corresponds to a production process.

For example, when blast furnace produces molten iron, the carbon content is first determined by the soil method.

After determining that it is carbonated steel, it is transferred to the converter with a ladle of molten iron, and then other ingredients are added to make the corresponding steel.

When the materials are available, it is possible to make all-metal lathes, etc., and then make steam engines.

Use the steam engine for mining, and use it with a blower to raise the temperature of the blast furnace to make better steel.

And continue to make it with better steel.

And so on and so forth.

As for why the steam engine from Chaoyang County was not transported.

First, it is too far, and it takes a lot of effort to transport it. Second, there are too few skilled workers, and talent needs to be cultivated in this way.

In charge of the steel workshop was Liu Chengai, as well as part of the Tiangong Bureau.

When they arrived, they saw puffs of black smoke coming out of the workshop.

"Jingluo, my subordinates have a request, I don't know if Jingliu can agree."

Dorzidarhan spoke suddenly.

"What's the matter? Speak up and listen. ”

Yang Chengying turned over and dismounted, and handed over his beloved horse to the guards.

The steel mill is not suitable for war horses to approach.

"My subordinates thought, can we build a lama temple in Jining to worship the Buddha."

Dolzidarhan said.

"Why did you mention that all of a sudden?" Yang Chengying glanced at him.

"When my subordinates saw the workshop, they thought of the iron pot, and from the iron pot, they thought of the Buddha."

Although I don't know where the logic of Dolzidarhan's words is, Yang Chengying still noticed the harm in time.

"I have no objection to the people believing in Buddhism, and I respect the people's freedom of belief."

Yang Chengying said: "However, as a Zasak of Liaodong Town, the first thing you think of when you see the workshop is not how to fight, but how to build a lama temple, which is not good. ”

Only then did Dorzidarhan realize that he had lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

His original intention was to emulate the city of naturalization and also have its own lama temple dedicated to the Buddha. Let the nearby herdsmen run towards this temple and run to it.

Otherwise, the herdsmen scattered in the vast grassland were attracted by the Naturalization City.

With his superficial knowledge, he could only forcibly contact the Buddha from the steel workshop, which caused Yang Chengying to be displeased.

"That, subordinate...... That's not what it means. Dolzidarhan blushed.

Yang Chengying smiled and said, "I understand." But you should think about it, the Great Summoning Living Buddha can have connections with the envoys of the Chechen Khan, the Oirat Mongols, and the major sects of Tibet, does your temple have this ability? ”

Jining is too close to Guihua City, and people must go to the biggest.

Dolzidarhan was somewhat silent.

"Of course, for your sake. If you want to build a temple, it's not impossible. ”

Yang Chengying smiled slyly, "It's just that you need to cooperate with me to play a play at the conference in the coming day." I can ask the court to build a temple in Jining.

Also, I can find ways to get other living Buddhas to come to this temple to teach the Dharma. ”

Speaking of Dorzidarhan, his eyes lit up.

He hurriedly said, "Really? That...... Where do you think it's appropriate? ”

"There is a Baiquan Mountain in the southwest of Jining, where the spring water is sweet, and it is a good place to build a temple."

Yang Chengying responded.

"Warp!" Dolzidarhan ran to the front and saluted, "You just have to give orders, and your subordinates will fully cooperate." ”

Yang Chengying nodded: "You can't talk about this matter to anyone." ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates' mouths are trees on the grassland, you don't want your subordinates to speak, your subordinates will never say a word."

Dolzidarhan said excitedly.

"Okay, come over with your ears and I'll tell you what's going on."

Yang Chengying waited for Dorzidarhan to get up and whispered a few words in his ear.

Dolzidarhan nodded frequently, he already understood in his heart, and he had to admire, this Han man was really powerful.
