Chapter 56 Come and be rich and prosperous with Ru
Chapter 56 Come and be with you in glory and wealth
The more than 2,000 Jurchens who were originally assigned to capture the young men then completed the assembly with high morale.
No one is missing!
In fact, they also know that there is no place to run.
These Jurchens originally lived near the Yalu River. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Northern Expedition of the Red Scarf Junguan, Po Tou Pan and others pierced through the entire north and reached Goryeo in one go. Although they were ultimately defeated because they went deep alone, they were completely destroyed.
It ended the Yuan Dynasty's rule in the north and even Liaodong.
Order completely collapsed.
Goryeo, on the other hand, took the opportunity to grow bigger while participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Turban Army.
These Jurchens were under the rule of Goryeo.
But then came the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army, and Goryeo was forced by Zhu Yuanzhang to sacrifice horses every now and then...
Selling horses.
It's just that the price is lower.
In order to satisfy this greedy guy, Goryeo had to do everything possible to plunder, and the Jurchens were horse breeders, so they were naturally the main targets of the raid, including those Goryeo people who mixed with the Jurchens.
So they couldn't bear it anymore, so these Jurchens and Goliaths ran to the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge.
Now they want to run?
Where to run?
If they had somewhere to run, they wouldn't be here.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty are very powerful.
A large number of surrendered Mongolians ran away because of the powerful laws, but these Jurchens could endure it because this was the only way for them to survive. Now they are just fighting. As Yang Feng said, following tens of thousands of invincible
The Ming army went to encircle and suppress a tribe of several thousand people. What was there to be afraid of?
This is obviously a credit to the delivery.
Doesn’t gold smell good?
Isn’t it nice to be a high-ranking official with a generous salary?
Even if Yang Feng was actually coaxing them, he was definitely robbing livestock, women, and slaves!
The risk is minimal, but the rewards are definitely huge!
Could it be that with tens of thousands of invincible Ming troops, they really needed these motley crew to fight?
No way?
Isn't that the case?
Can't?
Do it!
So the next day, Yang Feng led them into the nearest Tieling Acropolis, which was Fengji Fort in the southeast of Shenyang. Then he ordered the Jurchen men belonging to the Tieling Guard from fifty to fifteen, and coerced and induced them to join.
After arriving at this team, they poured into Shenyang. The excited Jurchens were like a group of mad dogs, following Yang Feng's chariot forward, and the huge gold ingot was at the top of the chariot, like a lighthouse.
This attracted the Jurchens to join one after another.
The team grew like a snowball.
By the time they arrived at Kaiyuan, there were already four thousand troops.
Of course, it's just Jurchens.
In fact, there were 2,000 guards led by the King of Liao and 10,000 Liaodong cavalry, as well as 1,000 guards led by the King of Yan led by Zhang Yu and his son.
This included the camel artillery unit.
As for Zhu Di, as the commander-in-chief, he led the main infantry including thousands of craftsmen to follow them. Next, Zhu Di will use Kaiyuan as his headquarters, while Zhu Zhi will lead the vanguard, which is now nearly 20,000 cavalry.
Pound the black pine forest to complete the raid on Xiyang Ha.
Kaiyuan.
"Ambassador, why don't you want Koreans?"
A Jurchen leader named Polo said.
They all have official positions, that is, they can even command hundreds of households.
This kind of person is called a high official.
In fact, he is a Tatar official, but in a nicer way, he is a high official.
"Goryeo? How can those cowardly and humble Goryeo slaves be ranked alongside the Jurchens?
Jurchen warriors, do you think this is correct?"
Yang Feng immediately said with disdain.
"right!"
The Jurchens shouted excitedly.
These days, with the blessing of Yang Feng's great blessing technique, they have completely reached the level of fanatic believers. After all, many of Yang Feng's things are tantamount to miracles in their eyes. They cannot understand these with their world view. Of course, they can only be attributed to them.
In miracles.
To be precise, a shaman.
wizard.
Ambassador Yang is a wizard.
Wizard Yang nodded with satisfaction, then pointed a laser pointer not far away, and the firewood piled there was instantly ignited...
Of course, gunpowder was sprinkled in advance.
The Jurchen warriors howled fervently, as if they had really been blessed by divine power.
"Did you know that there was a Jurchen named Mengge Timur?"
Yang Feng asked Polo.
"Back to the ambassador, Meng Timur is the chief of the Odori tribe. They were originally in the Songali Ula area that we are going to sweep now, but they were attacked by the Udiha people, and the Huli Gai tribe had already taken shelter.
Xiguancheng, accept the Korean canonization."
Polo said.
"Who is Wudiha?"
"The savages in the forest, in the northernmost mountains and forests, fish and hunt just like us, but like wild beasts, if we go to Nurgan City, we have to go to their place."
"Are these all Jurchens too?"
"Well, it stands to reason that the Jurchens are Jurchens, Udiha is Udiha, and Huli Gai is Huli Gai. But no one can tell them clearly now. The left and right are all fishing and hunting in the mountains and forests, and most of them can talk to each other.
Understand, our court is all Jurchen together, but in fact we are all called tribes among ourselves."
"Then the real Jurchen, which one is left over from the past Jin Kingdom?"
"The younger ones are the Dongning Prefecture originally established by the Mongols. Their ancestors are the Dongxia who followed Pu Xianwannu and the Dajin Jurchen who was born in the serious Meng'an Mouke. But if you really want to count, like the younger ones
Such old Jurchens are just like Dongningwei. The remaining ones are all messy tribes, that is, no one can distinguish them now. In fact, in our ancestors' time, those who were not fierce and powerful were not considered Jurchens, they were just surrendered tribes.
They themselves don’t recognize it, and some even refuse to marry us.
But now they admit it instead.
After all, this shows that their ancestors were also rich."
Polo said.
It was obvious that he was very excited about this issue, just like those Eight Banners disciples in the late Qing Dynasty who were so poor that they wiped their mouths with pig skin, then went out to smash the pot and brag about their ancestors.
So their relationship is actually like Boarskin and Sauron.
But now no one distinguishes between them, they are all considered Jurchens.
"What other Jurchens are ahead?"
Yang Feng asked.
"There is also the Liaohai Guard in the north, which also houses Jurchens."
Zhang Fu said.
At this time, Liaohaiwei was in Changtu.
Niujiazhuang in Changtu was later rumored to be Niujiazhuang in Haicheng. It was not until physical evidence was dug up in modern times that it was confirmed that it was in Changtu.
However, next year, because the distance was too far and the cost of maintaining the garrison was too high, the Guard Command and Envoys were withdrawn to Kaiyuan City. Therefore, the styles of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were obviously different. Zhu Yuanzhang counted the cost, Zhu Di did not. What Zhu Di wanted was to achieve the goal.
, it can also be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has experienced hardships, and his first consideration is not to waste people and money. Zhu Di, as the second generation, has not experienced hardships, and what he wants is to expand territory.
so……
Yang Feng had to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to hold on.
In the mountains and forests in the northeast of Liaohaiwei.
"Ambassador, what exactly are you looking for?"
Zhuang De, the commander of the Thirty Thousand Guards, shouted in the howling cold wind.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Jurchen Army. By the time he arrived at the Liaohai Guards, the army had expanded to 7,000. Zhu Zhi indeed designated Yang Feng as commander, but Ambassador Yang had a special status and could not command the Ming army. At most, he could only serve as a consultant. The real
The commander must also be the Ming Dynasty's own general.
Then it's him.
As for the entire expeditionary army, it was theoretically under the command of Zhu Zhi, but in fact it was Zhu Sheng, the commander of the Liaodong capital.
Then Zhang Yu served as deputy.
At this time, Zhang Yu and his son were not high-ranking officials. Zhang Yu was just a guard commanding the left guard of Yanshan, and Zhang Fu was only a member of a hundred households. After all, there were too many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty at this time. Just pick one at random and you can say that
After hundreds of battles, his father and son rose up because they followed Zhu Di. The main reason for their rise was not because they were strong, but because they were the generals of Zhu Di's three guards. They were Zhu Di's real trust, but only in terms of practicality.
, among the Ming army they can only be said to be above average, and there are many who are on the same level as them.
For example, this Zhuang De in front of me...
Zhuang De killed Tan Yuan in formation.
At this moment, not only Zhuang De, but also Zhu Sheng, Jing Cheng and other generals were all surrounding Zhu Zhi in the howling cold wind, and then they looked at Yang, who was walking in the forest with a watch in his hand like a Feng Shui master.
rich.
Suddenly Yang Feng stopped.
"dig!"
He pointed to the snow-covered frozen ground beneath his feet.
The soldiers who followed him carrying pickaxes looked at each other sadly.
"Dig?"
Yang Feng urged.
The soldiers silently picked up their pickaxes and started working on the hard frozen soil. Fortunately, they were all strong and there were enough of them, so they quickly dug through the soil, which was not actually deep, to expose the rocks underneath.
.But this was not enough. At Yang Feng's urging, they had to expand the pit, and finally dug out the rock foundation for about a room. At the same time, other craftsmen had also carved out half-arms in the middle of the rock foundation.
Deep hole. Yang Feng stuffed the grenades horizontally to the bottom like eggs, blocked them with rocks, tied all the pull tabs with ropes, and asked a soldier to pull one, and then he ran to the side with satisfaction.
.
"pull!"
he shouted.
The soldiers pulled the rope one after another.
Following a series of slightly dull explosions, rubble flew into the sky.
After the stones fell, Ambassador Yang walked over with a pickaxe and searched on the rock base. At the same time, he compared the pictures uploaded by his watch and quickly found what he wanted. He dug out a piece of rock that had been loosened by blasting, and then
Check against the sun.
Then he turned his attention to Zhuang De and others.
"Come and let me be prosperous and wealthy with you!"
he said with a smile.
This is a silver mine.
Sipingshanmen Silver Mine.
With this, there is no need to worry that Zhu Yuanzhang will think this area is not valuable enough.
"Is there any silver in this?"
Zhuang De said in surprise, holding the stone.
"Not only is there silver, but there is also gold!"
Yang Feng said.
At this time Zhu Zhi came over, and the craftsman who followed him came forward humbly. Zhuang De handed him the stone. The craftsman took it with both hands, looked at the sun for inspection like Yang Feng, and then took a small hammer and knocked a small piece...
"Your Majesty, look at these shiny places. They are all silver. After being smelted, silver can be produced."
he said.
"Is this a silver mountain?"
Zhu Zhi looked at the surrounding mountains and forests in shock.
Of course, Zhu Sheng and other generals in the Liaodong Capital Command were even more shocked. After all, Zhu Zhi’s fiefdom was not here, but this was the defense zone for these Liaodong generals! Zhuang De was even more delighted as he hugged a piece of silver ore.
, this place belongs to the junction of Sanwanwei and Liaohaiwei!
