Chapter 113 To be Daming's dog is...

In this era, it is normal to have primitive tribes.

Don't say it now.

In the 21st century, where Penke lived in his previous life and the society was highly developed, there were still many primitive tribes in some primitive jungles in Africa and South America.

What's more, in this era when the earth has not yet been explored by civilized countries?

From the Yanyun Great Wall, after leaving Liaodong, it is basically all backward primitive tribes.

Including Liaodong Capital and Northern Parallel Capital, there are many foreign tribes who surrendered to Daming, serving Daming, paying taxes, and building railways.

Of course, these alien tribes who have turned into kings of bathing are no longer savages, but XX Wei, the northern parallel capital of the Ming Dynasty, who was formally conferred by the Ming Dynasty.

Or Liaodong XX Wei.

Although it is said that Daming himself no longer engages in the military household system.

However, when dealing with these surrendered foreigners, Emperor Hongwu still used the military household system to restrain them, sealing each tribe as a fixed military household.

Whenever the Ming army needs to go on an expedition, these foreign military households need to send out soldiers according to the number of households to serve the Ming army.

It's actually cannon fodder.

The Northern Barbarians lack cannon fodder, and the Ming Dynasty also lacks cannon fodder.

And these chaotic tribes mixed between the Northern Man and Ming Dynasty became the victims of the confrontation between the two big men.

But they themselves are quite happy with it.

Being a dog for Daming is much happier than being a dog for Beiman.

The Mohists not only provided these foreign guards who were naturalized and settled down, but also set up hot kangs that could keep the room as warm as summer in winter, and they could also provide them with affordable food.

Since becoming a dog for Daming, these naturalized tribes, not only no one died of starvation and freezing in winter, but also the survival rate of newborns of these tribes is much higher!
For these semi-nomadic, semi-hunting primitive tribes, the most important thing is that their own tribe can have enough newborns.

In previous years, every winter, the elders in the tribe would rather starve to death by themselves, and set aside the food saved from hunting in summer to ensure that the young and children in the tribe can survive the winter when it is difficult to obtain food.

Now that there is Da Ming's father, everything is different.

In winter, they could sleep on the hot kang, drink hot tea, and have no worries about food. Those worthless animal hides left over from hunting in summer could easily be exchanged for enough food for the winter from the Ming caravan.

For them, this is like running into a well-off society.

In previous winters, the entire tribe would be starved to death, and more or less a group of old people would starve to death.

Fortunately, as soon as the weather cools down, everyone will lock themselves in a brick house with a heated kang to make villains.

After one winter, not only will you not go hungry, but you can also grow fat.

By the way, I will have another baby, and when the spring and summer solstice begin next year, the family will be able to add another person.

It's such a beautiful day!

In addition to sending the adults and young adults at home to serve in the Ming army from time to time, to do some dirty work, and sometimes there may be no return.

There are no downsides anymore.

Besides, this matter is nothing to them.

When they were ruled by the Northern Man in the past, it was completely slavery. Everyone in the tribe had to pay the Northern Man with food according to the quota, and if they were not enough, they would use their population to make up for it.

When the northern barbarians were about to fight, these small tribes were the first to fight, causing countless casualties.

Comparing this, Da Ming's father's apportionment of corvee is completely the style of a loving father among loving fathers!

What did you say?

It is the greatest honor to be Daming's dog!
The Northern Parallel Capital and Liaodong Capital, the various hunting tribes that surrendered to Daming, were basically very loyal and dependent on Daming's father.

It's very easy to use.

At the beginning, the Ministry of Industry only used them to repair the railway, but their enthusiasm was much higher than that of the prisoners of war in the northern barbarians.

Later, the Ministry of Industry calculated that it was a pity that such useful "talents" were only used to repair railways.

Then he was sent to the battlefield to fight against the northern barbarians.

Not to mention, these primitive tribesmen who don't have the concept of a country in their minds don't care that Beiman was their former father at all.

When it comes to beating the northern barbarians, it's ruthless, and it's very desperate!
In Yanyun's frontier army system, the Alien Guiyi Army has a very good reputation, and everyone likes to use it!

It's a pity that there are still too few Guiyi tribes compared to those tribes who don't accept the kingship.

The North Parallel Capital and further north, it is roughly equivalent to the Heilongjiang area in the previous life, the Daxingan Mountains, the Sakhalin Island area, and there are many barbaric tribes who have never communicated with the Central Plains Dynasty before.

That's true. Everyone can't even understand each other's words, and they can't communicate with savages.

It would be very difficult for these uneducated savages to be subdued by Da Ming in a short time.

Normally, King Ning and King Liao of the Northern Parallel Capital and Liaodong Capital didn't bother to talk to these ignorant and backward primitive tribes who didn't know how high the sky was.

On the contrary, these blood-drinking primitive people often took stone weapons and bronze weapons to plunder the old relatives who had naturalized in the capitals of Beiping and Liaodong.

For example, mature Jurchen often engage in "little friction" with Xihaiye Jurchen.

Even mature Jurchens have taken wild Jurchens to serve as railway laborers for Daming, and they have developed it as a normalized business.

Although counting generations back to the ancestors, everyone may belong to the same tribe and belong to relatives.

But now that they have bathed in Wang Hua, the mature Jurchens who already claim to be civilized people have long since disowned this relative.

Every year, the mature Jurchens under the command of the Ming Dynasty will spontaneously organize young and strong, and go to the north to wipe out those wild Jurchens.

This is a good deal!

The captured women, they can enrich their own tribe, and all the men are used to exchange food and cloth with Daming.

An adult wild Jurchen can be exchanged from Daming for two stones of grain, or one bolt of cotton or five bolts of linen.

As long as he catches a thousand wild Jurchens a year, he can basically satisfy a thousand households of mature Jurchens to live a fat year.

And Liao Wang and Ning Wang are also happy to do so.

A little food can be exchanged for labor to repair the railway for them. What a bargain!

Recruiting workers from the inland, a railway worker can be paid 20 taels of salary a year, and has to include food and lodging. Only the people of Ming Dynasty are willing to do it!
If you use a foreign race, you can buy it out for two taels of silver, what a bargain!

And there is no need to think about protecting workers' rights and interests, just use it to death, and it doesn't hurt to change a batch every year.

In the past five years, there have been nearly [-] savages who have built railways for Liaodong Capital and Beiping Capital!

And the efficiency of these 20 savage laborers was as high as [-] Ming people.

The complex railway transportation system of the Yanyun Frontier Army of the Ming Dynasty was built so smoothly only because of the selfless dedication of these savages!
Of course, the efficiency can be so high, all relying on desperate to pile up.

In Yanyun, on average, for every mile of railway laid, two captured savages had to die.

It is conservatively estimated that there must be [-] to [-] savages who died on the railway construction.

Although it's bloody and brutal.

However, the common people and officials of Ming Dynasty in this era didn't think there was any problem at all.

In the previous industrial revolution in the West, which one did not rely on the corpses of the aborigines in the colonies to complete the socialization of industry in the local area?

This is the 14th century, not the 21st century.

What is emphasized now is the debate between the Chinese and the barbarians, or the era when people who are not of my race must have different hearts, or those who are not of Chinese Miao descent, are all barbarians.

In Daming, only people with Daming household registration are members of a civilized society, have human rights, and their lives are precious.

Even a beggar in Ming Dynasty has a nobler life than a nobleman in Yidi.

Don't use these ruthless and blood-drinking, non-civilized aliens to do hard work, dirty work, and go to mines to build roads.

Is it possible to use your own Ming people?

That's the real brutality.
