"Governor Yang said that when ligers and tigers compete, a sheep is not qualified to fish in troubled waters. Since you can't stay away, join them. Either become a lion or a tiger. There is no other choice!"
Fancha repeated Xia Xun's reply to his brother. Several of Mengge Timur's women were there. He didn't have a special meeting room, and the women around him didn't worry that they would leak the news. These women were married.
, some were bought, some were robbed, no matter what, they are all his people now. Among his tribes, the nearest other tribes are hundreds of miles away. Even those who have different intentions can't even think of sending any news.

Meng Ge said in a deep voice: "If I want to join him, I will be serving him. If I want to fight against the Tatars in the future, if my troops are requisitioned, won't I be serving him?"
Fancha said: "Yes, that's what I said, but Governor Yang said that he believes in your surrender, brother, and what he wants you to do is exactly the order he would give to his own people."
Meng Ge slapped the case and said: "Nonsense! That ferocious wild wolf in Tuha is already planning to attack me. He wants me to stay here and wait for an opportunity to attack Wanhu Mansion in Tuha. What will happen to my tribe? There are so many old and weak people.
Women, children, cattle, sheep and horses, will there be enough time to evacuate to Liaodong?"
Fancha smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, Governor Yang said that the battle against the Ugu tribe was just the beginning. Originally, the second battle he wanted to fight was against our tribe!"
She was startled, and the angry look on her face immediately turned to horror. Several women next to her looked at their men with panic in their eyes. Their family owned many slaves. Of course they knew the misery of slaves. They didn't want to be kidnapped.
Then sold into slavery. Only Minmin Temuer remained calm. Her father was the governor of 30,000 households, so of course she didn't have anything to worry about.
Fancha said: "Now that we are willing to defect to the Ming Dynasty, Governor Yang said that he welcomes us. But if we accept our whole family in this way, it will affect his next move and destroy his entire Western Expedition plan. We are with him
The plan was to be the first target of the expedition. Now that he has become one of his own, he must take on the responsibility of being a vanguard.
As for the migration of the entire clan..., Governor Yang said that when Tuha had strong troops and horses, he could move the entire reluctant Ugu tribe back to Liaodong. We were willing to defect to the Ming Dynasty. We would defeat Tuha until we were defeated.
When the time comes, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to return east calmly?”
Brother Meng pounded the table and said viciously: "That bastard Tuha, if he didn't have evil intentions, why would I have to humble myself to Yang Xu? You said I don't want to avenge this, and do you want Tuha to regret attacking me? But
Now Tuha is going to attack me. If I don't leave, Tuha's army will surround my tribe before Yang Xu sends his troops! I sincerely surrendered to him, but he still put me in danger!"
Fancha said sarcastically: "The problem is... Governor Yang doesn't know that our situation is already so dangerous..."
Brother Meng choked and remained silent for a long time.
Minmin Temuole rolled his eyes slightly and asked Fancha: "What did my father say?"
Fancha spread his hands and said: "What else can you say? The Governor is not a discussion, but an order, and Lord Temuer has no choice but to obey. He also told me that in the previous battles, both tribes suffered casualties, but now...
Although we have become in-laws now, when we get along in the future, there will inevitably be some resentment between the two tribes. It would be beneficial if we fight this battle side by side, at least we will be a real family from now on."
Minmin Temuor breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to Meng Ge: "Otherwise...ask Fancha to go again and tell the truth to Governor Yang. In that case, Governor Yang may change his mind."
Meng Ge concealed the truth of the matter and used grand words of admiration for the Celestial Dynasty and reverence for the duke to offend Xia Xun. His original intention was to lay an ambush for himself to gain more advantages in Liaodong in the future. However, in his opinion, this reason was also the most popular reason among Han officials.
Those who like to hear, cherish the princes, be gentle with the distant people, and subjugate the enemy's soldiers without fighting. These achievements are exactly what the Han officials pursue endlessly, and they can be considered as following their favourites.
At that time, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty felt that his face was bright. Governor Yang's political achievements in pacifying Liaodong were greatly smeared. Everyone was very happy. The rewards they requested from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, including official positions, territories, privileges, and money and silk, would be doubled.
The land increased, but I never expected that Governor Yang was actually a blind man. He didn't want the fame that could make him more glorious, but he had to...
Meng Ge thought about it for a while, then sighed longly, and said listlessly to Fancha: "Stop hiding it, go see Governor Yang again, tell the truth, and compare our current predicament with him.
Make it clear, hurry up! It's too late, I'm afraid that Tuha's black case has already been reported to the Grand Master Arutai. Although I also sent people to see the Grand Master, they are all human beings. What we say...
"
Fancha grabbed the big bowl in front of him, drank the remaining kumiss in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll leave right away!"
※※※※※※※※
The first batch of merchant ships have already left Jinzhou Port fully loaded with goods.
I received a generous memorial medal to report my merits, and I quickly reported to the capital.
With promotions and fortunes, Liaodong soldiers suddenly felt that their lives were full of hope.
The people of Liaodong who were rescued from the Wugu tribe were also repatriated and resettled. In this process, for the purpose of statistics, filing, resettlement and other matters, the number of people under Mo Ke Mo Wei Li continued to increase. Originally, he was just a pioneer.
A small official in the Sixth Department of Military and Criminal Engineering, Huli Huli, Bingbei Road, only has three or five people under his command. Now his staff has expanded rapidly to more than 160 people. Each of these people has their own subordinates and perform their own duties.
It seems to have restored the scale of a county government.
Under the cover of such a tedious and complicated work, no one found it strange that the people who were abducted involved various liberation groups in Liaodong, including Mongols, Han, Jurchens, Koreans, etc. Some whole families were abducted, and the resettlement process also involved
In all aspects of relationships, within tribes, between tribes, and between different tribes, all kinds of contradictions and conflicts may arise if you are not careful.
Therefore, the emergence of such a group of harmonious officials has avoided a large number of problems, which is in the interests of tribal leaders and ordinary people. Therefore, they are welcomed by all parties. Taking the opportunity of resettling and rescuing refugees, Xia Xun
A part of the administrative power has been unknowingly snatched from the hands of the tribes. The leaders of each tribe still warmly welcome these household officials who take the initiative to help them solve the big trouble, and entertain them with good wine and food.
With.
The resettlement of the more than 10,000 people of the Wugu tribe was a big problem. Xia Xun came to deal with it personally. He was busy all day long, and soon he lost weight from exhaustion.
The external resistance he encountered was not great. The Han people still had an absolute advantage in numbers in Liaodong, and there were not many tribes who defected to the Ming Dynasty. There was plenty of empty and uninhabited land to settle these people. Especially when he took the initiative to send troops and defeated the good office.
Chijin Tuha's feat of wiping out the Wugu tribe established great prestige among the residents of all ethnic groups in Liaodong.
In the past, when the Tatars came, it was a great achievement to be able to repel them. Taking the initiative to attack, riding on the heads of these barbarians and beating them up, was not just a matter of treating the barbarians in their own way.
, and kidnapped one of their large tribes, which inspired the hearts and minds of the Liaodong army and the people. At the same time, it also eliminated the impression that the tribes and people who surrendered to Liaodong both relied on the Ming army and despised the Ming army.
Some Jurchen tribes along the coast were originally attached to North Korea, and their tribal leaders also accepted the official position "Douman" granted by North Korea. After Xia Xun's battle showed the power of the Ming Dynasty, these tribes successively expressed their friendship to Liaodong Dusi
, although there is still a wait-and-see approach, it is obvious that there is already a plan to rely on it.
The policy adopted by North Korea towards these Jurchen tribes was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. It was also based on restraint. Once they heard that the tribes had defected, they were overjoyed. They called it "the way of becoming kings after hearing the news", and their binding force was limited.
, at this time, they are just chasing after water and grass for profit, clinging to the stronger ones, and North Korea has no better way to solve it.
Some Jurchen tribes living in the Bozhu River area to the west of the Yalu River and affiliated with the Korean state even became bolder and went to kidnap Koreans. Among the Jurchens who were famous for their riding and shooting, Korean women, women
, cattle, horses, and goods, it is easy to seize them. They did not dare to do so before, because compared with a country, their power is limited after all, and they have to put away their greed.
But now that they have turned their backs on the enemy, their awe has gone, and their greed has returned. When the Korean farmers are scattered in the fields and working hard at farming, the Jurchens from Luyan and other places along the other side of the river will sneak into the mountains.
He took the opportunity to cross the river and robbed women and things. The North Korean governor was indignant and wrote to Xia Xun, the governor of Liaodong Military Affairs, to lodge a stern protest with him.
Xia Xun laughed loudly after writing the letter, and said to the North Korean envoy: "These tribes are not my subjects of the Ming Dynasty. They have surrendered to you North Korea. If a child is disobedient, you can spank him or complain to me, but I can't do anything about it."
So lenient. You, these are all Jurchens who have surrendered to me, the Ming Dynasty, and the leaders of the tribe. They are good and law-abiding people to me."
Tribal leaders such as Magulhun, Alatancang, and Wurigeng were running to the Governor's Mansion to discuss the purchase with great enthusiasm, and to transport the second batch of goods. They were all sitting there with smiles on their faces, like a group of well-behaved babies.
, upon hearing Xia Xun's words, he immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, which made the North Korean envoy's nose crooked with anger.
After sending the Korean envoys away, Xia Xun concentrated on the resettlement work of the people of the Wugu tribe. The battle against the Tatars made the hearts and minds of the Liaodong army change; the various tribes joined forces to transport Liaodong specialties out of the pass and turned them into wealth, making them
The integration between the two countries has become closer, and all of this is to achieve a political goal: to build Liaodong and take root in Liaodong. It is also for this purpose to personally handle the resettlement of the people of the Ugu tribe.
At this time, Fancha came again...
: In January, we made a good start. In February, we will continue to work hard. Jinyi Dang will finish 2012, so what is our goal? Annual list! So, let us every moment, every day, every month,
