Chapter 278: The Conqueror(1/2)

It is not new to Mongolian small tribes who defect to the Ming Dynasty. In the past, many small tribes came to the Ming Dynasty because they could not withstand the exploitation of the Mongolian Khan or other large tribes.&1t;/p>

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance.&1t;/p>

No matter where there is uneven distribution of interests, no matter where there is exploitation. It just depends on the level of productivity and the strength of exploitation.&1t;/p>

The Mongolians have lower productivity, and the exploitation is inevitably greater.&1t;/p>

In just less than half a month, dozens of small tribes came to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the Mongolian royal city. However, during this half month, Lin Danhan was chased by the Ming cavalry and fled everywhere.&1t;/p>

Because Lin Danhan's team has many cattle and sheep, the elderly, weak, women and children, the time cannot be too fast, and the goal is very large.&1t;/p>

After being revealed by the Ming cavalry, Li Wei and Wang Guoxiong simply started cutting their flesh with a blunt knife and chased them slowly. If they had the opportunity to go up and rush to kill, the Mongols simply hung them behind their butts when they were too concentrated.&1t;/p>

If the Mongolians dare to take the initiative to fight back, then give them a ruthless one.&1t;/p>

Under such a strategy, the Mongolian cavalry led by Lin Danhan was almost tortured. In the end, he had to abandon millions of cattle and sheep and flee with people quickly. 8ding8:8 Xiao8 Sayings, +.⊕o, and finally crossed the Yellow River and fled towards Qinghai.&1t;/p>

Li Wei and Wang Guoxiong chased each other to the Yellow River. Because there were millions of cattle and sheep to deal with, they simply stopped chasing them. They started to return the same route and brought millions of cattle and sheep back to western Liaoning.&1t;/p>

The Tumote tribe led by Lin Danhan was seriously injured after this battle. In this cold winter, I ran to the Qinghai grasslands, and I don’t know how many Mongols could survive.&1t;/p>

In the Mongolian royal city, dozens of small Mongolian tribes that came to surrender were temporarily reorganized by the Ming army and obtained more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry.&1t;/p>

When the main force of the Ming cavalry returned, he brought back millions of cattle and sheep. It was no problem to settle these Mongolian tribes.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao immediately began to reward the three armies, such as roasted whole lamb and beef feast. The whole army opened its stomach and ate for three days. The Mongolians who defected to the Ming Dynasty also enjoyed this treatment because there was not enough forage reserves. If these cattle and sheep were not eaten, it would be a problem to spend the winter.&1t;/p>

"This hump meat tastes good, you can bring some back to Beijing." Zhu Youxiao feasted in the big tent, while praising the hump meat made by the imperial chef.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty. Now that the whole army is in full swing, it is time to start sweeping the grasslands and divide the pastures." Sun Chuanting suggested, "If you are faster, you can try to sweep the area we designated in the first month of winter. After spring, you can directly divide the pastures."&1t;/p>

"Then start tomorrow! I plan to travel for a few more days, so I will go back to the court. I will leave it to you all my dear friends." Zhu Youxiao felt that it had been a long time since he went there, so he would still return to Beijing this morning.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely include the Northeast region in the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty."&1t;/p>

"Okay, my dear friends have another drink with me."&1t;/p>

This time, the imperial army was in person. It was more like a person who came to play and relax. The next day, 40,000 Ming army cavalry took 30,000 Mongolian cavalry on the journey and began to sweep away the large and medium-sized Mongolian tribes on the grassland.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, it is to take those small Mongolian tribes to grab cattle and sheep, territory and women with them. Most of the cattle and sheep, territory and women they snatched were rewarded to those Mongolian tribes who defected to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

As the sweep progresses, more and more Mongolian tribes joining this sweep tribe.&1t;/p>

The Ming army mainly carried out sweeping north and west, and the main sweeping areas were the largest grasslands in later generations, Xilinhot grasslands, these two areas.&1t;/p>

It is planned to completely wipe out this area in the first month of winter, and the grassland can be divided after spring. The large and medium-sized Mongolian tribes on these two grasslands are basically in trouble. The Mongolian cavalry that swept these grasslands has almost increased to about 80,000, and with 40,000 elite Ming cavalry, the Mongolian tribes on these grasslands are vulnerable.&1t;/p>

Some tribes are clever and directly express their surrender to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

However, these subjugated Mongolian tribes were soon demolished into small tribes by the Ming Dynasty. After the beginning of spring, the grasslands will be divided into different regions.&1t;/p>

After the beginning of spring, the Ming army will continue to sweep westward, mainly sweeping the Hetao Plain area south of Yinshan.&1t;/p>

The Northeast and Hetao areas are areas that must be occupied by Zhu Youxiao this time. These areas will be included in the ruling scope of the Ming Dynasty after the beginning of spring.&1t;/p>

While the Ming army and the Mongolian cavalry who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty swept the grassland, Zhu Youxiao traveled around the grassland and inspected for a few days.&1t;/p>

During this period, Zhu Youxiao had an in-depth conversation with many Mongolian herdsmen, and learned about some common sense of the grassland and the living customs of the Mongolians from them. In order to formulate a set of the most realistic management measures in the following direction.&1t;/p>

After a few days of travel, Zhu Youxiao returned to the court with more than 500,000 cattle and sheep under the escort of five Central Army Infantry Divisions and a cavalry division. These cattle and sheep were all Zhu Youxiao's spoils.&1t;/p>

More than 400,000 cattle and sheep were arranged to the royal ranch outside the pass, and were prepared to continue to reproduce after spring.&1t;/p>

The remaining 100,000 cattle and sheep were taken back to Beijing. In order to successfully drive these cattle and sheep back to the capital, people have been sent to various places to buy fodder and transported them to the areas along the way to ensure that these cattle and sheep do not starve to death.&1t;/p>

Just when Zhu Youxiao returned to Beijing, the news of the great destruction of Mongolia had long spread to all provinces of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Those who prayed that the emperor was captured by Mongolia were disappointed, but the people of the Ming Dynasty were extremely excited after learning the news.&1t;/p>

When the good news came back, firecrackers from the capital sounded for nearly three days.&1t;/p>

The emperor personally led the army to defeat Mongolia. Except for Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty, who was born in the early Ming Dynasty, he never gave birth to such a thing again.&1t;/p>

This time, the imperial army won another great victory, which immediately increased Zhu Youxiao's prestige by more than one level. Especially in Northern Zhili, people's hope has reached a new level.&1t;/p>

Before I knew it, winter was already in the beginning, and there was still no snow in Beizhili this year.&1t;/p>

However, the rumors on the street disappeared without a trace, and there was no snow last winter and there was no problem. Beizhili protected agricultural production in most areas with its perfect water conservancy facilities. No one mentioned this year.&1t;/p>

Without snow, there is no snow! Life is still there!&1t;/p>

If anyone dares to say in public that the emperor's morality is not cultivated, causing no snow in winter, he will probably be beaten up by the person who hears it.&1t;/p>

Now, after the strict governance of Zhu Youxiao, the Beizhili has completely eliminated corruption on the surface. The administrative efficiency of the government has also been greatly improved, and officials dare not use privileges to oppress the people. In the face of the changes in the official world, the people of Beizhili all felt an enlightened emperor.&1t;/p>

The most important thing is that the economy of Beizhili continued to develop in the fourth year of Tianqi. Several major industries have basically taken shape after several years of development. The people are under relatively little pressure on employment and can find work everywhere. In addition, the scale of middle- and high-income groups has begun to grow, while grain prices are maintaining a stable trend.&1t;/p>

A large number of products are exported, which has allowed the capital scale of Beizhili to grow. Those people who leave the land can support their families through work and enjoy some welfare guarantees from the government.&1t;/p>

When people's livelihood is in good condition, Zhu Youxiao will naturally win the hearts of the people.&1t;/p>

Those rumors that confusing the public have now completely lost the market in Beizhili. After this big victory, only a piece of praise is left.&1t;/p>

However, in the Jiangnan region, after learning that the emperor defeated Mongolia, some scholars openly shouted that the sky had no eyes. Obviously, many people hoped that the emperor would fall when he was in the personal expedition, and it would be better to take over this evil emperor, so as not to harm the ruling interests of their gentry.&1t;/p>

It took Zhu Youxiao nearly half a month to return to the city. The main reason was that the cattle and sheep were too slow. However, every time he arrived at a place, the local people would greet him.&1t;/p>

When we arrived at the capital, a large number of people even ran twenty miles outside the city to greet us.&1t;/p>

"So many sheep!"&1t;/p>

"Those sheep were stolen from the Mongolians by the Holy Emperor."&1t;/p>

The people were amazed at the sight of a large herd of cattle and sheep. This was Zhu Youxiao's spoils, and it was naturally used to celebrate it.&1t;/p>

Amid the sound of the people shouting for the long live, the emperor's carriage arrived outside the city gate. At this time, Shen Qing had already welcomed the city gate with all the officials.&1t;/p>

"I welcome Your Majesty back to the palace. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."&1t;/p>

"All my beloveds are flat."&1t;/p>

After some bows, all officials welcomed Zhu Youxiao into the city, and then returned to the palace surrounded by a group of imperial guards and officials.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who returned to the Forbidden City, naturally had a gathering.&1t;/p>

The next morning, Zhu Youxiao held an early court and announced the reward of the ministers. What is the reward? Of course, it was the cattle and sheep brought back by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

According to the grade level, everyone has a share.&1t;/p>

In addition to all officials, the Central Army also had their families. In recent years, the model workers who were conferred on Zhu Youxiao, those who have already made contributions to technological innovation, etc.

In addition, the welfare homes in Beizhili also sent some cattle and sheep, and ordered the welfare homes to slaughter cattle and sheep, so that the elderly, children and disabled people could feel the warmth of the court.&1t;/p>

After some rewards, half of the sheep disappeared, and soon the smell of mutton was floating everywhere in the capital.&1t;/p>

Zhang Demin was an ordinary worker before, and others called him Zhang Shazi. Because he was very affordable and never knew how to be lazy, he built roads for the government on the construction site last year. At that time, he encountered a continuous rain of five or six days. The construction conditions became very bad, and the workers complained. Only Zhang Demin did not say a word and worked hard. Not long after, Zhang Demin himself did not understand what was going on, so he won the honorary title of model worker from the government.&1t;/p>

I heard it was approved by the emperor himself.&1t;/p>

Then Zhang Demin was recruited by the Royal Steel Company and became a formal worker. It won’t take long to get the house distributed.&1t;/p>

Just as Zhang Demin got home that day, he found that there was an extra sheep at home.&1t;/p>

"Zhang Shazi, the emperor rewarded you with a sheep. The shopkeeper of the restaurant came over and asked, if you are willing to sell it, their restaurant will pay six silver dollars." The neighbor said to Zhang Demin.&1t;/p>

"The sheep that the emperor rewards? If I don't sell it, I will keep it for my own food." Although Zhang Demin lives a dull life now, he is not short of money and is very fulfilling.&1t;/p>

Zhou Fuhai, who also knew the paper bullet, also received a sheep.&1t;/p>

The welfare homes built after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, the orphans, widowed elderly people, and disabled people soon had a hearty meal of mutton and beef.&1t;/p>

The welfare homes where these difficult groups are located are still very good at present. Because of strict supervision, there is no open deduction.&1t;/p>

Although the sheep rewarded by the emperor is not very expensive, it is a very respectable thing, and it can make people fully feel the warmth of the court.&1t;/p>

Many people want to taste the taste of this mutton. Although the taste of this mutton is not special, it was snatched back by the emperor defeated the Mongolians. It is of great significance, mainly to be happy.&1t;/p>

Not long after, the people in the capital learned the news. The court began to sell the remaining cattle and sheep. The price was not expensive. So not long after, the remaining tens of thousands of sheep were sold out by the nobles and the people in the capital.&1t;/p>

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. With the reward and sale of more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, an atmosphere of celebration is still permeated in the capital.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao then began to reward the soldiers who had been commended. This time, even if the soldiers who followed him personally won the hard work, they would all receive 30 acres of arable land and a third-class merit once. Those soldiers who had been commended will be rewarded according to the size of the merit.&1t;/p>

The main thing is to reward land. The victory of this war against Mongolia allowed the Ming Dynasty to obtain a large number of territory, cultivated land and pastures. There was enough land to be rewarded.&1t;/p>

After some reward, it is a pension to commemorate the martyrs who died.&1t;/p>

The highlight is to completely implement the policy of using Mongolia to control Mongolia. Not long after, the imperial court announced the establishment of the "Northeast Administrative Region", which divided the administrative divisions into four provinces, one was "Liaodong Province", one was "Xi Liaoxi Province", and the other was "Jilin" and "Heilongjiang".&1t;/p>

Liaodong is the Liaoning in later generations, while Liaoning in western China is the eastern region of Inner Mongolia. Jilin and Heilongjiang directly copy the names of later generations.&1t;/p>

The Northeast Administrative Region has opened up three new provinces, and the imperial court will open a full county prefecture in these provinces.&1t;/p>

Among these four provinces in the Northeast Administrative Region, the arable land area reaches nearly 400 million mu and the pasture is nearly 700 million mu. In addition to the Han people, there will also be Mongolians responsible for animal husbandry production.&1t;/p>

In addition to most of these grasslands will be allocated to Mongolian herders, several large royal horse farms will be set up to produce military horses.&1t;/p>

At the same time, a "Mongol Tribal Autonomy Act" was issued to take autonomous measures against the Mongolians within their jurisdiction. However, this autonomy was actually a pyramid-ruling structure in which the Ming Dynasty directly managed the Mongolian nobles and then used the Mongolian nobles to manage Mongolian herders.&1t;/p>

The Mongolian Autonomous Act stipulates the rank of Mongolian nobles, which will be divided into 100 to 1,000 households according to the number of Mongolian herders under their jurisdiction.&1t;/p>

Every Mongolian noble shall not tax the Mongolian herders over one-tenth of the total production.&1t;/p>

While gaining benefits, these Mongolian nobles must ensure the care of grasslands within their jurisdiction and implement the rotational grazing policy. A 5,000-acre grassland must have 2,000-acre grasslands every year, and a 3,000-acre grassland for grazing shall not be overgrazed to ensure that the grassland does not degrade.&1t;/p>
