Chapter 532 Three Iron Laws of the Grassland

Nowadays, there is no chance in the frontal battlefield, but opening up a new battlefield is a good way.

"Using North Korea as a wound and bleeding the Jian slaves continuously will never allow them to safely obtain North Korea."

After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately made a conclusion.

Later, when the dragon boat arrived in Cangzhou, the letter requesting canonization from the crown prince of Joseon arrived.

Naturally, the Ming Dynasty agreed, canonizing him as the King of Korea, and did not recognize the newly succeeded King of Korea.

Considering the situation in North Korea, the cabinet discussed sending more than 10,000 infantrymen and 5,000 soldiers and horses from Phi Island, totaling 15,000 people, to Pyongyang to help it defend the city.

As a result, Wenxi added the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yingren was appointed as the general to suppress the rebellion. He not only commanded these 15,000 soldiers and horses, but also part of the Donghai Navy, and was fully responsible for North Korea's military affairs.

Northeast Asia was in chaos, but the Monan region, with Guihua City at its core, fell into an inexplicable silence.

This silence suddenly became prosperous with the arrival of merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

As the residence of the Governor of Monan, Guihua City naturally needed to be rebuilt and its ruins reorganized. A large amount of wood, bricks, etc. were continuously sent north from Datong Prefecture to begin the construction of this special prairie pearl.

It is now in the shape of a bastion instead of the traditional boxy shape.

The arrival of a large number of caravans gave this grassland a rare peace.

"Abu (father), Abu, I want a Han windmill to play with-"

Buzar packed up his family's money, and as soon as he mounted the brown mare under the service of his slaves, his eight-year-old son ran over, chirping and repeating.

"I know!" Buzar shook his head helplessly, glanced at his round-faced wife, and then said seriously: "You have to listen to your words, or I will come back and spank you."

Leaving his wife and children behind, pulling about ten carts of goods and dozens of slaves, Abuza quickly arrived at Guihua City.

Who said he surrendered late, but there were a lot of plunders behind him. He barely managed to get back half of his original capital. The whole family is safe, which is considered the best.

Abuza squinted his eyes and thought about it.

After taking control of Guihua City, Liu Tingjie, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was temporarily in charge of Monan. In the first two days, he issued orders, requiring leaders of all sizes to come to Guihua City, and he would read out the imperial edict.

Regarding the disposal of the Monan area.

It can be said that it is extremely important to tribal leaders like them.

Selling goods is naturally just a matter of convenience.

Halfway through the journey, the annoying Machitu came over with the same slave ox cart, but it was more than twice as big as him.

For such a despicable and shameless friend, Abuza turned his head away and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Hey, Abuza, my friend, why don't you speak?"

Machitu came on horseback and said with a smile.

"Bah, I don't have a friend like you."

"If I hadn't asked you to surrender to the Ming army, your tribe would have been dismantled long ago and you would have become a slave. You would not be able to sell goods as leisurely as you are now."

Machitu was not ashamed, but proud to speak, and had no burden to betray the Abu Dhabi tribe.

Abuza didn't want to pay attention to him and led the team forward.

By the time they arrived at Guihua City, the place had become a world dominated by cattle and horses, with dung and dirt scattered everywhere, and there were crowded Mongolians everywhere.

There were a large number of merchants, dressed in Ming Dynasty robes, which attracted many people who were reluctant to leave.

Because they carry tea cakes to relieve fatigue and digestion, as well as cloth, wine, iron pots and other necessities, no matter how eager they are, they can't be too eager.

"I'm sorry everyone, we were invited by General Liu to come here to become naturalized. If it's some gadgets, that's fine, but iron pots, tea cakes, and cloth must be approved by General Liu, otherwise we won't be able to exchange them for anything -"

The businessmen kept bowing their hands and apologizing, but they would not let go.

The next day, around noon, the tribal leaders could only come to a well-preserved courtyard in Guihua City.

In the midst of it all, Liu Zongbing, the powerful leader of the Monan Tumut Department, sat swaggering with a kind smile on his face.

It's just that everyone is afraid of this Mingren who single-handedly caused thousands of casualties in the Tumote tribe and dare not look directly at him.

On both sides of it, sat Guluge, Hanggao, and Tobok who were guarding Guihua City. They looked nervous. Although they had seats compared to everyone else, they were not much better.

Abuza was feeling uneasy. Although everyone was waiting in the hall, none of them dared to make any noise.

I don’t know how long I waited, but almost as the sun was setting in the west, Mr. Liu smiled and said: “Today’s time is up, and those who haven’t arrived yet will all be fooled!”

No one could understand the clear words, but the translator on the side translated it directly, and everyone understood the chill contained in it.

The three people on the side, Gu Luge, Hang Gao and Tobok, were greatly moved and did not dare to speak.

"Everyone is here, let's make the announcement!"

Liu Tingjie's voice was loud. He stood up and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decided to establish the Monanxing Capital Division within a thousand miles of Guihua City. Starting today, you will become the ministers of the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as this was said, everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to object.

"As for you, you will be granted the title of a hundred households, a deputy to a thousand households, a thousand households, and you will be hereditary."

Hundreds and thousands of households were originally brought by the Mongols, and there were tens of thousands of households above them, which were just military positions. Now they have replaced the Eight Banners system, and the military and civilians are integrated.

"In any tribe with less than 300 tents, the head of the tribe will be a hundred households; in a tribe with more than 300 tents, and less than 500, the head of the tribe will be granted the title of Deputy Thousand Households. Between 500 and 800 tents, the head of the tribe will be a deputy thousand households.

A person is a thousand households."

As he spoke, the noise became louder.

Many people are discussing this standard, and everyone is thinking about their official position or title.

In response, Liu Tingjie directly killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and stopped the noise:

"Guluge, there are 2,300 tents in your tribe. Because you resisted stubbornly, but in the end, you rebelled, so you only deprived the herdsmen of a thousand tents and placed them under the control of Guihua City."

"Another five hundred accounts will be drawn up and distributed to your second son, Ageqi. He will be the deputy of the thousand households, and you will be the thousand households."

"I obey the orders of the respected Emperor Ming."

Guruge had no choice but to kneel down on one knee to show his submission.

The strength of the tribe was directly reduced by two-thirds, but he did not dare to complain. It was already considered good to have 500 households for his second son.

Subsequently, Hanggao and Tobok were also reduced to a maximum of 800 households, which were either allocated to Guihua City or distributed to their sons.

Other leaders, Liu Tingjie said bluntly:

"You can calculate in your mind whether you are a member of a hundred households, a deputy of a thousand households, or a thousand households. If you find someone who exceeds eight hundred and is hidden, you can get the wife, concubines, and property of the other party as long as you report it."

At this time, everyone was shocked and had no choice but to report it and record it in the record.

Next, Liu Tingjie spoke about the three iron rules of Monan.
