Chapter 191: Meet the Boss (please give me your monthly vote, otherwise it will be invalid)
Sweet potato cultivation does not necessarily require wasteland, fertile soil is of course better.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are grown in the suburban military camp in fertile soil, so they will grow more quickly.
When Zhu Ying brought Li Jinglong here, hundreds of people were already cultivating the land.
"What are you doing?" Li Jinglong asked with some confusion.
Now at the end of May, it is not a time for double grabbing. The planting of late rice only starts in August.
"These are three new crops. They are still classified as Ming Dynasty secrets. They are not only resistant to cold and drought, but the yield per mu is about a thousand catties. I transported the grain seeds from the Western Regions and they only arrived yesterday."
Zhu Ying said lightly, with a calm and calm tone, as if he was just describing an extremely ordinary thing.
Around the plantation, soldiers were everywhere guarding it, and it was extremely tight.
When Li Jinglong heard this, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he instantly became sluggish.
He did not believe that the soldiers constantly patrolling around proved that all this was true, but he knew in his heart what kind of situation the crops with a thousand kilograms per mu would bring to the Ming Dynasty.
This means that when these crops are promoted, the vast majority of people will be able to avoid the suffering of famine, and the Ming Dynasty will also undergo a new round of take-off.
Li Jinglong's expression began to become excited. After all, he was also a member of the top circle of Ming Dynasty. For now, everything was related to Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, he hopes to see the Ming Dynasty getting better and better, and Li Jinglong also went out to train troops to provide disaster relief. The horror of those famine scenes is also vivid in his mind.
Although Zhu Ying had a somewhat nonchalant expression, she had actually been observing Li Jinglong. After seeing his obvious excitement, she secretly nodded in her heart, saying that she could use it.
No matter what Zhu Di's hidden plot is, Zhu Ying is confident enough to suppress Zhu Di. In his opinion, not to mention Li Jinglong, there is no need to specifically target him.
Moreover, Li Jinglong has come to visit many times now, and it is obvious that he wants to serve him.
The current situation is different, and Li Jinglong is not saying that he helped Zhu Di rebel from the beginning.
There are still some problems with Jingnan. The entire battle of Jingnan was basically a confrontation between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di, and it was also because Zhu Yunwen lost the hearts of the imperial uncles in the royal family.
In some aspects, you have gone too far. If you are right, you will get more help, but if you are wrong, you will get less help. This is the truth...
And because of the passing of Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan, Zhu Di did indeed become one of the successors, and many people stood by and watched.
Coupled with the fact that the Lan Jade case resulted in the death of a large number of mid-level officers and well-known generals, Zhu Di, a late star, suddenly became the top level of the Ming Dynasty's military capabilities.
At present, Li Jinglong's heart is still towards Ming Dynasty, but he just said that his personal relationship with Zhu Di is very good.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Ying did not exchange a few words, and Zhu Ying did not take Li Jinglong to the nearby military camp to shock him.
After the brief interaction, when Li Jinglong left, he specifically looked back at Zhu Ying, who was standing by the field, with complex expressions in his eyes.
Compared with Zhu Ying, the owner of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was beyond his reach in all aspects. Even Li Jinglong had never seen such a powerful person in his life except His Majesty.
It doesn’t mean that he is great at leading troops in battles. Zhu Ying, who lost his memory when he was a teenager, has reached the level he is today, which is a legend in itself.
From now on, this legend will continue in the Ming Dynasty.
His Majesty's aging has made many people worry about what the next emperor will be like. Zhu Ying's appearance let Li Jinglong know that the future Ming Emperor will only be wiser.
Perhaps, there really is destiny in this world!
Northern grassland.
The Golden Horde is currently in decline. Khwarezm, Crimea, and Bulgaria are gradually splitting away from the Golden Horde. The Golden Horde is currently being invaded by the Timur Empire in Central Asia.
Obviously, the declining Golden Horde was no match for the flourishing Timurid Empire.
In the face of the invasion, they retreated steadily all the way.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the Great Khan of the White Horde, Tokhtamysh, relied on Timur's power to defeat Ma Mai, the powerful minister of the Great Khan's court, and controlled the main territory of the Golden Horde. He became the Great Khan of the Golden Horde. From then on, the Golden Horde
All the great Khans of Thang come from the Bai Thang lineage.
The Golden Horde itself was a complex union of various ethnic groups, among which the Mongolians, as a conquering ethnic group, were very small in number.
Southeastern Europe, especially the Kipchak grassland, is where the Kipchak people live.
The population of the Khanate is mainly composed of Kipchaks, Bulgars, Khwarezmians, and other Turkic ethnic groups, especially Kipchaks and Turkmens.
Since the Mongols, the ruling ethnic group, were in the minority, with only tens of thousands of people, they were gradually assimilated by the large number of surrounding Kipchak, Turkic and other Turkic tribes.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the process of Turkicization has basically been completed, and Turkic language and Turkic script have become the common languages and writings of the Khanate.
For example, Batu, who belongs to the Heroes Chamber of Commerce, and Hasbagon, who belongs to the Mongolian ethnic group, are few in number.
When chasing Batu, Hasbagon held back many times, otherwise Batu would have died long ago.
"Brother, look at the horses there. They seem to be carrying people."
Batu was resting with his brothers. He did not obey the orders of the Golden Horde Khan to fight the invading Timur Empire. He just led his team to wander nearby and beat the autumn wind.
After hearing this, Batu turned around and saw that a group of war horses were indeed walking back carrying a wounded warrior.
"Let's go and have a look."
Batu was a little moved, not because of the people, but because of the horses.
Mongolian men treat their horses like their brothers. The ability of a war horse to carry its master back shows that the relationship between the two is very deep.
Dozens of people got on their horses and ran straight over.
The horse was a little frightened, but it was obviously very tired. When it sensed Batu and the others, it thought about turning around and running away, but was soon surrounded.
"It's him, Hasbogen. He was seriously injured and almost died." After his subordinates went up to check, the surprised master called out.
Batu quickly went up and saw that it was indeed Hasbagen.
There was some hesitation in the man's eyes, but he quickly said: "Check his injuries and give him medicine. If he can persist until he gets to the doctor, he is destined to die."
After Batu finished speaking, the crowd became a little commotion. It was obvious that many men did not want to let go of Hasbagon, who was now seriously injured.
This man had killed many of their brothers.
"I admire him. He also quietly spared our lives at that time. Dear masters, life and death are determined by fate. Now he is going to die. As Mongolian men, we must pay him back what we owed him."
Batu said in a deep voice, and everyone agreed with his words.
Several people worked together to lift him down and check his injuries.
"Brother Batu, he was not fatally injured. He was probably injured too much and lost blood before he fainted. It felt like he was being carried back on a horse."
After hearing this, Batu nodded and immediately led his people back quickly.
The doctor Batu is talking about is a member of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. The current Golden Horde, except for the core area, has actually begun to fall apart in many places, and they are only together in name.
Similar to the state of warlord separatism, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is caught in the cracks. Currently, it is quite comfortable, and it has quite good news with many powerful nobles in the separatist areas.
Since Batu was betrayed last time, he simply took refuge under the name of Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce also paid money to retaliate against the betrayer. Under the temptation of the reward, his head was sent over.
"Water, water."
Hagenbas woke up from his stupor and shouted the word for water in Mongolian.
Someone immediately gave him water.
When Hagenbas opened his eyes, he found himself in a strange camp.
After waking up, Hagenbas was obviously a little confused and had not yet figured out the situation. After a brief recollection, his face suddenly changed and he shouted anxiously: "Inform the Khan quickly, those Tatars have surrendered to the enemy and killed our warriors."
"Cough cough cough."
However, such a loud shout made Hasbogen, who was already weak, cough violently, but the people next to him did not make any move.
"You, you guys"
Hasbagan could tell that the people next to him were all Mongolians, and wanted to accuse them, but was speechless.
Soon, someone came in at the door of the big tent, it was Batu.
When Hasbagan saw Batu, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly realized that this was not the territory of the Golden Horde Khan.
The two Mongolians nodded to Batu and went out immediately.
Batu sat next to Hasbagon and said, "You let me go last time, but I saved you this time. We are even, and no one owes anything to the other."
Hasbagen suddenly fell silent, and then begged: "We are all Mongols, can you help me again and let someone send a message to the Khan that the Tatars have rebelled."
Batu shook his head and said: "There is no need. The war over there is over and Timur has occupied it. Counting today, you have been in a coma for four days."
Hearing this, Hasbagon suddenly felt sad.
The place where he fought was the grassland where he once grazed sheep, and it was his home, which was now occupied by Timur.
Batu said in a deep voice: "You can recuperate here, and the doctor will cure you."
After Batu finished speaking, he was about to leave. Hasbogen suddenly asked: "Why do you want to take refuge with the Han people? Don't say it's because of food. I don't believe it."
Hearing this, Batu paused and thought for a moment before saying: "In the Ming Dynasty, there are many Mongolians who are descendants of Kublai Khan. The Yuan Dynasty is the common dynasty of the Mongols and the Han people."
"According to the inheritance of the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty, which succeeded the Yuan Dynasty, is one with us, just like us and other ethnic groups. In the current Ming Dynasty, the status of Mongols and Han people is the same."
"The Khan you are loyal to was no longer a direct descendant of Genghis Khan when the Great Khan's court was defeated twelve years ago. What's the difference between him and the Ming Dynasty?"
Faced with Batu's words, Hasbagon immediately fell silent.
He had no way to refute that out of the four great khanates in the past, only the Golden Horde was left. Some people even called it the Kipchak Khanate, the Kipchak Khanate.
The Mongols seem to be gradually breaking away from each other. The former ten thousand households also did not listen to the command of the Great Khan.
Except that this is a grassland, there is no difference between the Mongols living under the rule of the Han people.
At least today's Ming Dynasty recognizes the Yuan Dynasty as the orthodox dynasty, and also recognizes the same status of the Mongolians and Han people.
If we really count, it seems that the Mongolians in the Central Plains are even more direct descendants.
Watching Batu leave, Hasbagan said nothing, and some thoughts in his heart began to change.
He is an orthodox Mongolian and admires the glory and glory of the Mongolian people, but now it seems that everything is changing
"You are the real Princess Anxiu, right?"
Looking at the princess and maid in front of him, Zhu Ying recognized them with just one glance.
The maid who lowered her head to hide herself was the real Princess Anxiu.
This is not just about appearance, but more about temperament.
No matter how the maid and princess change, the temperament of serving and being dressed for a long time cannot be changed in a short time.
When seeing herself, the fake Princess Anxiu always wanted to see the maid behind her and seemed to be very timid.
After all, Zhu Ying was also a lecturer in his previous life. He had never seen anyone before. How could he hide this little thing from him?
Hearing Zhu Ying's question, Xiaoqing, the maid in front of him, was frightened and kneeled on the ground subconsciously.
This is the memory engraved in her bones as a maidservant.
The real Princess Anxiu in the back was still standing there, but after a brief silence, Chen Muyue slowly knelt down on the ground, bowed to the ground, and said: "Princess Anxiu Chen Muyue, meet my employer!"
