Chapter 63 Celebrating the New Year's Day
Under Yang Bing's decision, the Tatar tribes around the City of All Nations were no longer hostile to the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, the two tribes lived in harmony in the City of All Nations, and some of the surrounding cities gradually began to accommodate foreign tribes.
Over the next two years, Yang Bing helped the nomads build dozens of cities on the grasslands so that they could have a place to settle down and not have to travel around the grasslands.
In the first year, Harz led the subordinates of the Ke tribe to recover almost all the tribes and bring them together, and Yang Bing also supported him, and every time Harz recovered a tribe of more than 100,000 people, he would pay for it and build a city for it, which also moved many people from the former Tatar tribe. has changed the stereotype of looking at Daming in the past.
In the second year, Yang Bing united with the Harz court and established the Ming Ke Autonomous Region on the grassland, and since then the Tatars and the Ke people have been combined into one clan, all under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty.
The border wars that the Ming Dynasty experienced that could not be resolved for decades, Yang Bing only took three years to completely solve them.
After the problem of food and clothing was solved, the nomads raised cattle and sheep, and their ability to tame horses was also revealed, and they also became good at singing and dancing.
And under the modern method of raising livestock proposed by Yang Bing, a nomadic tribe used to have only a few dozen to one or two hundred cows, but now it has grown to a random city on the grassland and can pull out tens of thousands of cattle.
Zhu Yuanzhang happily clapped his hands on the top of the hall when he heard the news: "Hahaha, how many years, when have we seen so many cows!" Hahaha! ”
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict and issued a new decree, abolishing the previous decree that ploughing cattle could not be slaughtered at will.
Yang Bing also sent back a thousand cattle raised on the grassland to Zhu Yuanzhang with interest, and Zhu Yuanzhang was full of praise after tasting this beef, especially Yang Bing refined the Ming diet a lot.
During the Chinese New Year in the third year, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Yang Xiyuan and Wan Qi Shihui to the palace for a banquet, and Zhu Yuanzhang even took Yang Xiyuan's hand and kept praising Yang Bing: "Old Yang, your son is born well!" I envy you! ”
Yang Xiyuan was also proud at this moment: "Hehe, Your Majesty, it's not a courtier, just me, a dog, that's talented and intelligent, and his talent is world-famous!" ”
"Report! Your Majesty, good news from the City of Nations! Wang Yuan, the chief eunuch, walked in and handed a secret report to Zhu Yuanzhang in his hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, you see, this kid Yang Bing has signed a contract with a foreign country, hahaha, I'm now a dynasty of all nations!" ”
Wan Qi Shihui and Yang Xiyuan also smiled with satisfaction, and the three people with gray hair walked to the window and looked at the snow scene outside, looking at the endless snowflakes, Yang Xiyuan sighed.
"Ugh."
"Huh? Such good news, Lao Yang, why do you sigh. Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzled.
Yang Xiyuan didn't speak, and Wan Qi Shihui opened his mouth to explain: "Your Majesty, Brother Yang is thinking about the children. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized: "Yes, it has been three years since Yang Bingkai went to the border pass, and in the past three years, you have not had time to take a look at those children for the sake of the Japanese in the capital." ”
"It's okay, Your Majesty, the minister just suddenly thought of Bing'er and Ke'er, and I don't know if the capital is so cold now, so how are they doing in the City of All Nations." Yang Xiyuan's face showed a father's worried look about his child, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Wan Qi Shihui also missed Wan Qi Keer and the Four Princes in Wanguo City.
The three of them didn't know what to say for a while, but they just stood in front of the window and watched the snow scene silently, full of longing in their hearts.
But what they didn't know was that Yang Bing and the others were eating hot pot and singing songs in the City of All Nations at this moment.
"Hahaha, old, fourth, you lost again, drink!" Yang Bing was so undignified that he stood on the table with one foot and shouted at the fourth prince Zhu Di.
And the eyes of the four princes have been a little sloppy by Yang Bing, Yulu wanted to persuade Zhu Di not to drink anymore, but it was okay not to persuade him, this persuasion Zhu Di was even more energetic: "Damn!" Lao Tzu will let you know today what the royal wind is! ”
After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and began to drink violently, and Yulu and Wan Qi Keer on the side glanced at each other, and they all showed helpless expressions.
The more the two of them drank, the more energetic they became, and they even wanted to guess the boxing, whoever lost would take off a piece of clothing, at first Yulu and Wan Qi Keer didn't want to care.
But who would have thought that these two felt that it was not fun to just take off their clothes, and they would actually run outside to play wrestling.
In the end, Wan Qi Keer couldn't stand it anymore, and one of them gave a palm on the back of the head, and after being stunned, people carried back to their respective residences.
Sitting on the carriage, Wan Qi Kerr looked at the city of all nations at midnight, it was still brightly lit, and countless people from all walks of life gathered in the city of all nations to celebrate the New Year.
Adults drink and have fun in the restaurants on the street, children shuttle back and forth in the streets and alleys, and from time to time there are beautiful fireworks that rise in the air and bloom in the air, which is a lively scene.
"Ahem, eh, why does my head hurt so much?" At this time, Yang Bing, who was stunned, woke up, and Wan Qi Keer looked at Yang Bing helplessly: "Yo, uncle, you still know how to wake up, I thought you were traveling west with a crane, and I was looking for a place to bury you." There was an obvious blame in his tone for Yang Bing's drinking.
Yang Bing recalled: "Hehe, what is this that Mrs. said, there is such a beautiful lady, how can I be willing to leave." ”
Stretching his waist, Yang Bing felt that the wine was almost sober, and looked at Wan Qi Ke'er looking at the fireworks outside the carriage, his eyes were full of envy.
Yang Bing glanced outside and found that it was not far from the city wall, so he didn't wait for the carriage to stop, and jumped out of the carriage by the hand of Wan Qi Keer.
"Eh, what are you doing?" Wan Qiker was taken aback.
"Come with me, I'll play with you!"
The two men laughed and played in the streets of the City of Nations, and soon came to the top of the city wall.
"What are you bringing me here for?" Wan Qi Ke'er was puzzled, what was there to play on this city wall.
Yang Bing smiled: "Wait for me for a while." With that, he turned and left.
"Eh, hurry up, it's cold in here!" Wan Qi Ke'er tightened the clothes on her body and looked at Yang Bing helplessly.
After a while, Wan Qi Keer couldn't wait any longer, turned around and was about to walk down the city wall, at this time, Wan Qi Keer heard Yang Bing's voice from under the city wall.
Leaning down and looking under the city wall, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything: "Where are you?" Hurry up, it's too cold! ”
"Whew! Bang! ”
Suddenly, a light flashed from under the city wall and burst into the sky, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the air, and then immediately after, light flashed one after another from outside the city wall, and a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine fireworks burst out in the City of Nations.
Wan Qi Keer covered his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him, Yang Bing walked up to the city wall, holding a diamond ring made of glass that he had fired, which was also a treasure in this era.
Taking Wan Qi Ke'er's hand, Yang Bing gently put the ring on her hand: "Madam, do you like this gift?" ”
Under the city wall, Yang Bing was standing just now, and was ignited with fireworks and gunpowder, and suddenly a heart-shaped pattern appeared on the ground, and the names of Yang Bing and Wan Qian Keer were written in the middle of the heart.
