Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 257

The news of the bombardment of Jinzhou City also spread to the prairie, which also caused a shock in the prairie.In particular, the main force of the Fuliao Army convened many nomadic tribes to hold a prairie meeting in Guihua City, which added fuel to the flames.

Near Guihua City, almost the most important figures on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia gathered to participate in the grassland meeting of the Liao Army, and they talked about the dynamics on the grassland with relish.

"Erdos' Elinchen, why did he come here in person in his capacity?" Some senior Mongolian tribesmen with more knowledge saw the Ordos tribe's cavalry coming from the Hetao Plain, and their leader Elinchen.

"I heard that Lin Danhan was captured with his help. It's normal to come to this prairie meeting in person." Some tribes started to discuss, "Perhaps the Ordos tribe has become a pawn of the Liao army in the west of the prairie."

Er Linchen directly ignored these rumors and led his men to station at the designated location under the guidance of the soldiers of the Liao army.

"Our military leader heard that you came in person, and specially reserved a place for you." They were led by cavalry from the Liaonan Dragoon Brigade.

"This prairie meeting will not be a trap for your Liao army to wipe out all the tribes?" Er Linchen asked directly.

"You are joking, our Liao army will not use such indiscriminate means to gain control of the grassland. If we want, we can just use force to obtain it." The cavalry guiding him said.

Er Linchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even the ordinary cavalry of the Fuliao Army were so proud.This is the self-confidence that can only be accumulated after winning for a long time.

In the past few days, more and more nomadic tribes have gathered in Guihua City.Some tribes were willing to take the initiative to attach themselves to the Liao army, and some tribes were afraid of the force of the Liao army. They were afraid that Chu Yun would attack them under the pretext of not participating in the prairie meeting, so they also sent people to participate symbolically.

The entourage and guard cavalry of these people were placed outside the city, and some main participants were allowed to enter the city.There are [-] infantry and Japanese soldiers in the city, and [-] cavalry patrolling outside the city, so there is no fear that any tribe will dare to plot wrongdoing.

"Master, the leader of the Ordos tribe came to the meeting with two hundred cavalry in person, and the leaders of many tribes in Chahar also came in person. It seems that they attach great importance to this meeting to establish a new order in the prairie.

"After all, it is related to their vital interests and the future of the tribe. Can you not care about it?" Chu Yun saw Mongolians surrounding Guihua City on the earthen wall of Guihua City.

These people are the future of the prairie. If the prairie is integrated, it may not be possible to use this force to carry out westward expeditions in the future.

However, staying in Guihua City for one more day would consume a lot of food for tens of thousands of people, which made Chu Yun feel a little overwhelmed.We can only speed up the process of the Prairie Conference as soon as possible.

"All the major tribes should be here, let them go to the square in the city to discuss." Chu Yun said.

It's finally time to start!The leaders and representatives of the major nomadic tribes met with the Liao army from the east very nervously.

They gathered together, and many tribal leaders and high-level officials knew each other, especially some branches under Lin Danhan's Chahar tribe. A few days ago, they were fighting against the Liao army together.

At the meeting site, the leaders of the eastern tribes who accompanied Chu Yun to the expedition were already here, as well as the infantry officers of the Liao Army, all of them were in high spirits.In contrast, the central tribes who had just lost the battle were a little embarrassed.Tribes such as the neutral Ordos in the central and western regions have no emotional fluctuations.

"Everyone, I called everyone here today to give you a way out." Chu Yun appeared with the officer corps, "Lin Danhan can't restore the glory of the old golden family, and everyone has always been unwilling to obey him. The prairie continues to split Not only that, the weather has been cold for the past few years, and there is not enough food on the prairie. Every year, a large number of cattle and sheep must be slaughtered, and they must be plundered to survive. But the war also thought that Every year, a large number of people die, at the hands of Han people, and at the hands of their own people.”

"Yu Gong, I want to completely solve the survival mode of the prairie for thousands of years, and resolve the conflict between the nomadic people and the farming civilization. In the final analysis, the root of the conflict between the two lies in the backward productivity and the unbalanced production methods of the two civilizations The contradiction between them can be resolved as long as the productivity is increased and there is inexhaustible food and supplies.”

"Privately, I want large pastures, coal mines, and the bravest prairie warriors and horses on the prairie. Correspondingly, you can get food, industrial products, education, medical care, etc. from Liaodong and Liaonan, which you can't produce temporarily. important materials. The two sides can turn hostility into friendship by making full use of their comparative advantages and location advantages.”

Chu Yun talked endlessly about his understanding of the grassland issue on the stage.

The Mongolian nobles and leaders in the audience were a little confused when they heard what Chu Yun said about productivity and location advantages.

"Master Chu, our Ordos tribe would like to ask whether the Liao Army will send troops to interfere with our tribe's affairs." E Linchen asked first.

When he asked such a question, the leaders and nobles of other tribes lifted their spirits.This matter is too important to them.

"If you can follow the arrangement of the prairie meeting, I can guarantee that you will not interfere with the internal affairs of the tribes. Of course, except for the eastern grassland that has been announced to be merged into our Liao army." Chu Yun said.

"So what do we need to follow in this prairie meeting?" Elinchen asked again.

"There are three main points. For the rest of the details, we will send officials to discuss with you. The first point is to open free trade. The Liao Liao Army will open a market in the Horqin Grassland. In the future, you will not have to be expensive by the Ming merchants near Shanxi and Shaanxi. Exploitation, you can go to the Horqin Grassland to trade supplies with us. Of course, Liaodong will also have caravans passing by your ranch, and you need to protect the safety of these caravans. The second point is to approve the pastoral areas of each tribe, which may take several months Once the pastoral area is approved, conflicts will not easily break out between the various tribes. The third point is that each tribe will accept the jurisdiction of our Liao Army in name, and a prairie meeting will be held in Guihua City every year. As compensation, we will provide each tribe with a place in education."

"In the future, tribes that perform well can be incorporated into our Liaodong, and formed into cavalry formations like the eastern tribes." Chu Yun said.

Almost all the tribal leaders and nobles in the central and western regions were a little stunned. They were still thinking about how they could not be annexed by the Liao army, but they didn't expect that Chu Yun would not be willing to take over them now.
