Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 534 The Arrival of the Goods
"This is the Yongle Stele, this is the Yongle Stele!"

Zhao Wen looked at the stele that had been cleaned up, circled around the stele of Yongle, and shouted excitedly at the same time.

Li Xiaosan and the others didn't know what this Yongle stele was, and they all looked at Zhao Wen in surprise.

To be honest, they rarely saw Zhao Wen like this.

The Yongning Temple written on the stele is a temple built by Emperor Yongle on the mountain near Nuergan City after the establishment of Nuergandusi.

It is the landmark building of Nuergancheng, and it is a building that highlights the territory.

In the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Yiyha came to Nuergancheng, built Yongning Temple on the hill near the city, and erected a stone tablet at the same time.

Later, because of the successive deaths of Emperor Yongle and Emperor Hongxi, as well as the rebellion of the King of Han, the court's attention was shifted from outside the pass to the court.

Yiyaha and Nuergan and other subjects were also transferred back to the capital. Because no one took care of them and the weather was unpredictable, Yongning Temple was destroyed in the early years of Xuande.

When Emperor Xuande was firmly seated on the throne, Emperor Xuande set his sights on Nuer Gandusi again.

In the eighth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande reappointed Yiyha as an envoy to Nuergan.

After Yiyha arrived in Nuergan, Yongning Temple was rebuilt and a stone tablet was erected again at the same time.

Because it was erected during the Xuande period, it is called the Xuande Monument.

Yiyha is a Haixi Jurchen who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and guarded Nuergan for many years.Later, he was transferred back and became the eunuch guarding Liaodong for 16 years.

During the 16 years he guarded Liaodong, Liaodong was very stable without any major disturbances.

The eunuchs under Emperor Yongle seemed to be capable people. Zheng He was good at fighting, and even made seven voyages to the West.

Although Yiyaha is not as good at fighting as Zheng He, the establishment of Nuer Gandusi is inseparable from him.

"This is the Yongle stele, then this is the Xuande stele, it should be the Xuande stele." Zhao Wen looked at the big stele, and hurriedly shouted: "Set up this big stele for me, and clean the surface with alcohol at the same time. clean!"

As soon as Zhao Wen's voice fell, Li Xiaosan and the others hurriedly erected the stele carefully.

After Li Xiaosan and the others cleaned up the surface, Li Bin finally saw the writing on the Xuande Monument clearly.

The Xuande Stele is round above and below, and is made of granite. It is 1.2 meters high, 32 centimeters wide and [-] centimeters thick, which is larger than the Yongle Stele.

There are no other special patterns on the Xuande stele. On the top of the front is written "Reconstruction of Yongning Temple". The inscription on the stele is in Chinese, and there are no words on the back and side of the stele.

Zhao Wen looked at the Xuande Monument that had been cleaned up, and heaved a sigh of relief, "This is the Xuande Monument. I didn't expect that I would meet you today. I really didn't expect it."

In later generations, these two steles were stored in the National Museum set up by Maozi in Vladivostok.

Although there are only two stone tablets, it shows that Nuergan has been the territory of the country since ancient times. Unfortunately, it has been away from the country for a long time.

"My lord, why were you so excited when you saw these two stone tablets? I think these two stone tablets are just two very ordinary stone tablets, nothing special about them." Li Xiaosan looked at Zhao Wen's excited look, asked with a puzzled look.

Zhao Wen said: "You don't understand, you don't understand, these two steles are more than just two steles, don't underestimate these two steles. These two steles can prove that the land under our feet is Ours."

"Just these two stone tablets?" Li Xiaosan didn't believe that these two stone tablets could prove that the land under his feet belonged to him.

"Actually, the origin of these two steles is quite big. During the Yongle period..."

Zhao Wen briefly told Li Xiaosan about the origins of the two steles.

"My lord, this man named Yiyha is really loyal to the imperial court." After listening to Zhao Wen's narration, Li Xiaosan admired Yiyha who erected the stele.

"Although Yiyaha is a Haixi Jurchen, he is very loyal to the Ming court. The establishment of Nuer Gandusi is inseparable from Yiyaha. Although he is just a eunuch and an eunuch, but only relying on him to establish Nuer Gandusi's contribution proves his loyalty."

Zhao Wen said a few words with emotion, and then pointed to the two steles, "Keep these two steles well, and after Nuergan City is established, Yongning Temple will be rebuilt on the former site of Yongning Temple. The stele was relocated in Yongning Temple."

"Yes!" Li Xiaosan clasped his fists at Zhao Wen, and then led his men to lift the two steles down.

After Li Xiaosan left, Zhao Wen returned to the big tent and began to draw the blueprints.

Almost half a month later, Liu Wenzhong finally received the order from Zhao Wen. When he received the order from Zhao Wen, he hurriedly mobilized his manpower and sent the materials, manpower, food and other materials needed to build the city wall to the city. Shipping to Dengzhou.

Prior to this, the defenders on Phi Island also received Zhao Wen's order.

After receiving Zhao Wen's order, they hurriedly loaded the cement and other city building materials in Pidao and began to transport them to the Nuergan area.

During this period of time, Zhao Wen would go to the coastline and the places selected for building the city every morning to check.

At night, Zhao Wen sat in his big tent and perfected the blueprints for building the city.

When the time came to the middle and late September, the cement and other materials sent by Phi Dao finally arrived in Nurgan.

A simple port has been built on the coastline today, so these ships can also dock.

The location of the port is the one chosen by Zhao Wen before, but now it looks very crude because of the lack of cement.

Standing in the open space of the port, Zhao Wen looked at the ships docked at the port, and heaved a sigh of relief, "After waiting for such a long time, it's finally here."

"Yeah, fortunately, my lord had hoarded a lot of cement on Pidao before, otherwise, it would not have been so fast." Mao Wenlong stood beside Zhao Wen and murmured.

Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "If my guess is correct, you should have 5000 people in your hands right now? If you add the garrison on Phi Island, the number will probably be even more.

Now that Jiannu is gone, Dongjiang Town in Pidao has no meaning to exist. Therefore, I plan to revoke the establishment of Dongjiang Town and move Dongjiang Town to Nuergan.

As for the strength of personnel, I remember that Dongjiang Town had more than 2 soldiers and more than 5000 sailors in addition to the miscellaneous soldiers. Is it like this? "

"My lord, what you said is pretty much the same. In the past, my Dongjiang town had 5000 to 6 troops, but there were only more than [-] soldiers who could actually fight. The remaining [-] to [-] soldiers All are refills.

Since I joined the Chief Soldier, because the food and pay are sufficient, I have eliminated all the old, weak, sick, disabled, and superfluous soldiers in the general. In addition to the recruited soldiers, there are almost [-] soldiers and [-] water left. division. "Mao Wenlong didn't hide anything, and told the current situation of Dongjiang Town's military strength in detail.

When Mao Wenlong did not seek refuge with Zhao Wen before, Mao Wenlong had a lot of soldiers, but most of these soldiers did not have enough to eat and had nowhere to go to seek refuge with Mao Wenlong.

And because Dongjiang Town is remote and there is no arable land, these soldiers basically can't eat enough.

You can't even eat enough to eat, so what about fighting power?In the past, when Dongjiang Town went to Liaodong to harass, it only relied on the number of troops to swarm up.

If they encountered a large-scale army of Jiannu, even if Mao Wenlong and the others had a numerical advantage, they would not dare to confront Jiannu head-on.

After all, Mao Wenlong has only more than 5000 soldiers who can really fight, and the rest are not even as good as bandits.

Mao Wenlong didn't feel anything about Zhao Wen's abolition of Dongjiang Town. After all, with the end of Jiannu, Dongjiang Town lost its meaning.

From the beginning of its establishment, Dongjiang Town existed to harass Jiannu and involve Jiannu. Now that Jiannu is gone, these functions will naturally disappear.

"How about this, you keep all these troops, and then the number of soldiers will increase by 5000, the navy will increase by [-], and the cavalry will increase by [-]. Calculated in this way, it will be about [-] people.

After the successful construction of Nuergan City, all these soldiers cannot be hoarded in Nuergan City.

A large number of castles will also be built around Nuergan, and troops will be stationed in batches. As for how to station, you can make up your own mind. "

The Nuergan area is really too big. If you want to cover all the Nuergans, 5000 people are not enough, but today's Nuergans have a large area and a small number of people, so there is no need to be like the mainland. .

"You can keep using the name Nuerqian. As for your names, I think it's Far East Town."

The Far East is what later generations call this land. Zhao Wen couldn't think of any name for a while, so he took this name directly.

"Far East Town, Far East Town!" Mao Wenlong kept thinking about the name of Far East Town.

"My lord, does this Far East Town have any special meaning?" Mao Wenlong looked at Zhao Wen.

"It's in the east of the Central Plains, and it's very far away from the Central Plains, so I call it the Far East. As for other meanings, no!" Zhao Wen said no very directly, after all, Zhao Wen is really not good at naming things. .

"In this case, let's call it Yuandong Town." Mao Wenlong felt that the first half of Zhao Wen's words made sense, but when he heard the second half of Zhao Wen's words, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong, who was holding back his laughter, pretended not to see, and said, "The management system of Yuandong Town should follow the management system of Dongjiang Town. There is no one inhabited here, and you can't do anything wrong." what come?"

"Obey, everything is under the adults' arrangement!" Mao Wenlong shouted loudly at Zhao Wen.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for long. After the Dengzhou fleet arrives, I will leave by boat, and I will leave this place to you.

Before leaving, I will hand over the drawings of the city to the construction team and let them build according to the drawings.During the period when the city was not established, you probably have to suffer a lot.

It's not like the mainland, it's extremely cold in winter, you'd better be mentally prepared. "

What Zhao Wen said was right. This place is closer to the north than Harbin. Harbin can freeze to death in winter, let alone here.

"Don't worry, my lord. I know this matter well. When I didn't talk to my lord back then, my life in Dongjiang Town was much worse than it is now. Now that the conditions are better, why can't I persist? If Mr. Zongbing doesn't believe it, I will A military order!" When Mao Wenlong heard Zhao Wen say that it was cold here, he prepared himself mentally, thinking that Zhao Wen didn't believe him, so he stared at him with a disbelief.

"The military order will be waived, I believe you." Zhao Wen looked at Mao Wenlong's posture and said with confidence.

There are a total of [-] ships coming from Phi Island, and these [-] ships are basically lucky boats with very large capacity.

These twenty ships were loaded with a lot of goods, and it took three days to move the goods on them.

After the goods were moved, Zhao Wen asked these people to leave here and let them go to Dengzhou to transport cement and other materials.

When the cement was delivered, Zhao Wen asked his soldiers to direct the Jiannu captives to use cement to build the foundation of the new city in the selected place.

As for the ruins of the old city, they were almost cleaned up by Jiannu captives before.

When September was about to pass, the Dengzhou fleet finally arrived at Nurgan.

Although it is the end of September and the beginning of October, Nuer is working here like the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the university does not stop.

Because of the heavy snow, Zhao Wen didn't let people work.

It's not that Zhao Wen feels sorry for these Jiannu captives, but that the frozen soil in winter is so hard that he couldn't dig out a foot from morning to night.

Zhao Wen was sitting in a house built of wood and mud. There was a brazier in the center of the room. A copper kettle was hung on the brazier, and hot water was burning in the copper kettle.

Working in Nu'er, if you still live in the big tent at this time, you will probably freeze to death.

The house Zhao Wen is staying in now is made of wood and mud. The walls are about two feet thick. A log is split inside and outside, and then fixed into two walls, one inside and one outside. In the middle is rammed earth.

In the absence of good insulation materials, the thicker the walls, the better the insulation effect.

The house Zhao Wen stayed in was not big, and there was no way to compare it with Xuanzhen, but Zhao Wen didn't dislike it.

Zhao Wen was sitting next to the brazier, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and wearing a very thick woolen coat beside him.

Zhao Wen established several woolen factories in Xuanzhen, and the woolen coat Zhao Wen wore was produced by the woolen factory.

The raw material of wool is wool, and Zhao Wen has his back on the grassland, so he doesn't have to worry about running out of wool.

In Zhao Wen's personal guard camp, almost every soldier has a thick woolen overcoat.

Except for Zhao Wen's personal guard battalion, although ordinary soldiers also have woolen coats, their woolen coats are not comparable to those of the personal guard battalion soldiers in terms of accessories.
