Most of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who came to Daqing Mountain were young people.
And these young Ming civil servants give people a different feeling from the past Ming civil servants.
They are more energetic, tougher, and more capable.
There had just been a riot in Xicheng, and the herdsmen started shouting that there was a fight, so this young official came over with his officers and soldiers.
Even this young Ming official held a knife in his hand.
The official shouted to the rioting crowd, then dropped the knife on the ground, put his hands on the handle of the knife, and glanced at everyone present with cold eyes.
They all entered the court through passing the official examination in Yingtian in the past two years.
And what many people don't know is.
On the first day when these new officials entered the Ming Dynasty, they had to accept the last lesson of their lives.
It was presided over by Gao Yangzhi, the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, or Xie Jin, the second assistant.
The content of this class is very simple.
The main thing to do is to let all the new officials understand that the Ming Dynasty was different.
As for the official holding a knife at the foot of Daqing Mountain, the class was hosted by Cabinet Minister Gao Yangzhi.
Gao Chunfeng only said one sentence at the end.
The rules of the Ming Dynasty are the rules of the entire world.
How big is the world?
Young officials subconsciously believe that wherever an enlightened person touches, the world is under control.
now.
As Mingren arrived, the leader of the grassland tribe heading south to Daqing Mountain hesitated for a moment.
However, that was all he hesitated for a while.
The herdsman who threw mud at him and rolled over and over on the ground, making himself miserable, had already rolled to the feet of the young official.
The herdsmen got up with their buttocks stuck out and crawled at the feet of the officials.
"Dear Sir, it's him! It's him who said he wants us to fight against the adults' orders and wants us to help him occupy Daqing City!"
The young official's eyes moved slightly.
It was not because of what the herdsman said, but because the herdsman was able to explain what just happened in Ming Dynasty Mandarin intermittently.
As for what happened just now, is it really what he said?
The young official didn't think about it.
The final decision is in your own hands.
And he will only choose the solution that is most beneficial to Ming's dominance under Da Qingshan.
"Can you speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin?"
The young official asked silently.
The herdsman was stunned for a moment, and then explained in panic: "The villain came to the pass to do business..."
Yu Min nodded: "It seems that he often comes to Daming to do business."
Yu Min.
He became an official in the spring of the 20th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty.
First, he went to the Ministry of Industry, then to the governor's office in Hedao, and then joined the Emperor Taisun's northern patrol team.
Now, he is the head of the Ming Dynasty's military department of the sixth rank.
Under the green robe, Yu Min's face was calm.
"Tell me what happened just now. Don't worry, Daming will make the decision for you and uphold justice for every citizen of Da Qingcheng."
The herdsman nodded repeatedly, turned back, and waved his arms to point at the former leader: "That's him! He wants to cause trouble, and if we don't agree, he will force us to stay and beat the younger ones."
Yu Min looked at the mud on the leader's face, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and turned to look at the surrounding herdsmen: "Is that so?"
"no!"
The leader began to panic.
If he continues as he is now, he is afraid that he will become the first person to be executed under the regulations of Daqing City.
"They were the ones who started the fight. I will definitely abide by the regulations of the Ming Dynasty and never fight in private. I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to live with people I know before."
Listening to the leader's loud explanation, Yu Min's eyes flashed brightly.
He finally understood the general situation.
This was probably because Taisun decided to divide the grassland herdsmen so that they could not unite and speed up the process of changing customs.
The leaders of each tribe will naturally feel that their power is being eroded. They will panic and fear that the days when they could dominate and dominate will no longer exist.
So they will use various means.
So.
As for who made the first move today, it no longer matters.
Because in Yu Min's heart, the culprit of the riot in front of him can only be this so-called leader.
Yu Min looked at the surrounding herders again.
"Which one of them is telling the truth?"
After understanding his current task and solution, Yu Min postponed the execution results and once again asked the surrounding herders.
The human heart is a very complex thing.
For a member of the Ming Dynasty ruling group like Yu Min, it is necessary to repeatedly test the hearts of the herdsmen under the Daqing Mountains.
The herdsmen hesitated.
After all, according to the regulations of Daqing City, whoever strikes first will be punished.
Yu Min was not anxious, but quietly observed the movements of the crowd.
The leader kept roaring and explaining himself.
Yu Min frowned slightly.
Snapped!
An officer and soldier held a sword, and the scabbard hit the leader heavily in the face.
The man fell to the ground in response.
As a result, Yu Min's frown eased.
"He is a traitor!"
In the crowd, a herdsman pointed at the leader who fell to the ground and covered his face, and yelled.
Then, the herdsmen spoke out one after another.
"He is a traitor to our Daqing City!"
"He also wants to ride on our heads and steal our women!"
"Kill this traitor!"
Someone shouted to kill the leader.
Then, everyone shouted in unison.
"Kill this traitor!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
After the crowd became restless, the herdsmen began to look at the young Ming official in front of them silently.
The leader was so distraught that he fell to the ground and kept kicking his feet back.
However, several officers and soldiers blocked his retreat.
Yu Min slowly raised his hands.
"Ming dynasty."
"I will make the decision for you."
"Ming dynasty."
"Your voices will be heard."
"Ming dynasty."
"As you wish, this man will be executed."
A roar of cheers came from outside the west city of Daqing City, which had not yet been built.
Turn around.
Countless herdsmen tied up the leader.
A wooden platform was quickly built by the herdsmen.
The leader, who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, had been dragged to the wooden platform by the herdsmen and held underground.
Yu Min wrote a big-character poster in the shortest possible time.
He opened the large-character poster with both hands and began to read out the leader's crimes.
When the last word is pronounced.
Yu Min raised one hand and looked at the leader who was about to be beheaded with cold eyes.
"kill!"
Whoosh.
The sound of the knife cut through the void.
There was a pop.
A huge human head fell to the ground dripping with blood, and then rolled down the wooden platform.
Then some officers and soldiers posted the big-character poster in Yu Min's hand on the wooden shelf next to the wooden platform.
The herdsmen watching around made a commotion.
And when that lovely head was casually thrown into a basket by the officers and soldiers, everyone understood that the rules of Daqing City were not simply to scare them.
Daqingcheng's rules will be implemented honestly and without compromise.
"What's the noise over there?"
Zhu Yunxi, who was at the center of the Daqing City site, was leading a group of people standing at the edge of a pit that had been dug a foot deep and was still being dug deeper, looking at the Xicheng District where there was movement.
Abu immediately waved his hand and said, "Tan!"
Following the order from the newly promoted King Shun'an of the Ming Dynasty, a member of the Abu tribe got on his horse.
There was a loud crack of the horse whip.
The man then drove his war horse and rushed towards Xicheng District like a bolt of lightning.
Zhu Gaochi silently glanced at Abu.
This King Shun'an, judging from his current behavior, is really devoted to the Ming Dynasty.
But what will happen next still needs to be carefully observed.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Abu had already arranged for me to go down, so he turned to look at the deep pit in front of him.
The pit, which is already a foot deep, is still being dug downwards.
It will probably be about two feet deep, and then we will continue to dig horizontally in all directions, and then pour concrete to create an underground space.
In the future, the top of this deep pit will be the location of the main palace of Daqing City.
As for what the purpose of this pit is.
For now, no one, including Zhu Yunxi, can say it.
But everyone feels that there should be a pit here.
"Daqing City will be the first city built entirely with cement in the Ming Dynasty. Everything here will set an example for future city construction in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the raging construction site around him and said lightly.
Zhu Gaochi immediately took over: "I have already sent a letter to the Ministry of Industry. Next, the Ministry of Industry will send officials and craftsmen in batches."
Abu echoed from the side: "This will become a sacred place for the entire grassland tribe!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms in an exaggerated manner and looked up at the blue sky.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard again behind everyone.
The cavalry who went to Xicheng District to investigate the situation have already returned.
Before the horse could stop, the cavalryman had already jumped off the horse with a beautiful movement.
In three steps and two steps at a time, he arrived in front of several people.
The cavalryman held his fists and knelt on one knee.
First he glanced at Abu, and then quickly turned to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, there has just been a riot in Xicheng District. A tribal leader with evil intentions has been publicly executed by Yu Min, the head of the Ministry of War."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Gaochi stood up quickly and looked up in the direction of Xicheng District.
I didn't see another major turmoil in Xicheng District, so I felt a little relieved.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said softly: "It's Jinli. He is decisive in doing things, which can be considered as a result of experience."
Abu waved his hand at the cavalryman, and the man immediately stepped aside.
He stepped forward, faced Zhu Yunxi and said softly: "It was the humble minister who slacked off when recruiting the grassland tribes, and actually allowed people with evil intentions to go south together."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "With nearly 30,000 people, can King Shun'an still investigate each one clearly? When the herdsmen first arrived, everything was undecided and people were impetuous. This kind of thing would not happen just once. When it slowly stabilizes, we will eliminate them.
After getting rid of the thorns in the crowd, I can run Daqing City with peace of mind."
Abu moved his lips: "Your Highness is wise."
really.
Don't wait for a few people to say a few more words.
Soon, news came from the temporary residences around Daqing City.
Many leaders of other small tribes who followed Abu Zhi'an southward to the Daqing Mountains began to cause chaos, but were quickly suppressed by the well-prepared Ming army officers and soldiers.
Without exception.
The leaders of these troublemakers were all convicted and executed in accordance with the latest regulations of Daqing City.
Tens of days passed quietly.
The herdsmen who passed through the vast grasslands and Daqing Mountains and came to Daqing City finally understood a truth.
Of course, Daqingcheng belongs to all herdsmen.
But all the herdsmen who come here belong to the Ming Dynasty and need to abide by the rules set by the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the face of endless food and warm quilts, no one said a word "no".
And with the arrival of nearly 30,000 herdsmen.
The construction of Daqingcheng has also entered a stage of rapid development.
Under the command of countless Ministry of Industry officials and craftsmen, and under the leadership of skilled Ming Dynasty civilians, construction began simultaneously in all places within the radius of Daqing City.
The foundation of the city wall has been continuously excavated and has begun to meet the required standards.
At this time, the cement factory under Daqing Mountain also began to produce the first batch of cement, and the output increased day by day.
After a thin layer of cement begins to solidify.
The herdsmen burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
This is a city that will never face invasion again.
No one can attack Daqing City from the outside.
This is the conclusion that the herdsmen came to unanimously after seeing how hard the cement was after it solidified.
As a result, people's enthusiasm for construction surged again.
The herdsmen who were responsible for the construction of the city wall would start walking into the city after work every day and stare at the tribesmen who were responsible for the construction of government offices and private houses in the city to see whether they were built according to standards.
After all, this is their Daqingcheng, and the houses here will also be their future homes.
Finally, officials from the Ministry of Works found out.
There is no need for their constant reminders or supervisors to monitor the progress of the project.
These herdsmen are eager to cover everything with cement.
As for cutting corners and not following workmanship requirements?
Something like this has happened.
But even the officials didn't show up. The herdsmen had already tied up the wrongdoers and brought them before the officials.
After finishing their daily work, there will be a large number of Ming officials in the temporary residences around Daqing City, bringing some small things with them.
Or candies, or candied fruits.
Or a pot of tea.
Then these officials would pull the herdsmen and communicate in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, talking about the future of Daqing City.
It doesn't matter if some people don't understand Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites had assigned tasks early on.
Every day after the herders get off work, specialized officials will come to teach them the Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
As for the herdsmen’s original dress and clothing.
In the face of warmer cotton-padded clothes, it has long become a fuel to provide heat in the temporary residence.
Everything is changing subtly.
The route to Daqingcheng is gradually becoming clearer.
