Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 258

Chu Yun also has a little selfishness.After all, the standard of living of the people under the direct control of the Liao army in eastern and southern Liaoning is much higher than that of the people under the surrounding forces. The more people join the Liao army, Chu Yun will take care of them. , Those in need of poverty alleviation!This was also one of the reasons why Chu Yun did not want to take action against the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Chu Yun conquered the Ming Dynasty with a population of over [-] million in one fell swoop, it would be impossible for the industry he just started to feed these huge population who were starving for food.At that time, Chu Yun might be in a state of desperation for several years.Sometimes Chu Yun is a little helpless about the blind birth of farming civilization.Maybe the land cannot support so many people, and a large number of new people are born, and then wars and famines eliminate a large number of people, and the cycle repeats.If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be fine. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people died of starvation every year.

"Zai Sang, didn't your Horqin tribe merge into the Liao army? What do you think?" The leaders of the nomadic tribes in the central and western regions asked the Horqin tribe that had been incorporated into the Liao army.

Originally, they resisted being merged into the Liao army, but they were so disgusted by Chu Yun that they became angry instead.Our Mongolian warriors are the bravest warriors on the grasslands. How many forces do not want the allegiance of our Mongolian cavalry?

"How should I put it... Our family's power in the tribe may be as great as it used to be, and the pastures for grazing are also limited to a certain range..." Zaisang said.

"This is indeed a trap set by the Liao army. They are too cunning and want us to hand over power obediently."

"Let me just say that the Liao army wants to limit our grazing range, just wanting us to settle down. Once we violate his will in the future, we will have nowhere to escape."

Some tribal leaders and nobles shouted after hearing what Zaisang said.

"Everyone, I haven't finished talking. It is true that we have given up some things, but we have also gained a lot of benefits. Our family has lost jurisdiction, but it has a place in the army. The Liao Army provides our family's children in their Academy of Sciences. In addition to the opportunity to receive education, he also provided us with housing in Liaodong, not to mention medical resources, silk, tea, ironware, coal, and some scarce resources on the grassland.”

"As for the fixed pastoral areas, there are good and bad. The good thing is that the Liao Army established farms and large ranches to improve the types of cattle and sheep. It is said that it is to improve the output and meat quality of cattle and sheep. I am not afraid to tell you that their agriculture The people in the bureau are still breeding and improving the horses, and want to breed a new type of horse that is better than our Mongolian horses, not only taller, but also has the endurance of our Mongolian horses. Once the breeding is successful, hehe."

"Speaking of which, there are many magical things in Liaodong and Southern Liaoning. Have you ever seen a [-]-meter-long steel carriage that can run by itself? There are also toilets that discharge feces into the ground, and textile machines that can make silk by themselves... …" Zaisang talked about his experience in Liaodong and Liaonan, like a treasure.

"A steel carriage with a length of [-] meters? Are there such strong horses?"

The rest of the Mongolian nobles and leaders expressed disbelief.

"Don't you guys know this? It's called a train. It doesn't use war horses, but it can run non-stop by eating coal. A train is equivalent to hundreds of carriages." Although I don't understand it, the slaughter Sang said proudly, "If you are lucky enough to visit southern Liaoning, you will be impressed by them. It is a world completely different from our prairie, a world of coal and steel."

A group of Mongolian nobles and leaders were taken aback by what Zaisang said. It seems that the real strength of the Fuliao Army is not only reflected in the artillery, but what is even more frightening is the industrial foundation that supports the army for long-distance combat. For example, Zaisang said The thing called a train.

"It seems that I have to go to Liaonan and Liaodong to have a look when I have time." Erdos tribe's Elinchen muttered to himself.

The other nobles and leaders also had their own plans in their minds, most of them yearned for Liaodong and Liaonan, and wanted to see what happened.

The prairie meeting was actually a meeting held by Chu Yun to establish a new order in the prairie, and it attracted almost all the tribes on the Inner Mongolian prairie.In addition to the fact that the leader of the relatively large Ordos tribe came personally, which surprised Chu Yun, he was also surprised by the arrival of several other tribes.

It's not because the arrival of these tribes is very important to Chu Yun, it's just that these tribes are a bit special - they were attached to the Ningyuan Ming army in western Liaoning because they didn't want to join the Houjin when the Houjin was rising. Several tribes have a combined population of [-].

These tribes still have thousands of Mongolian cavalry serving in the Ningyuan Ming Army.Now it is the prairie meeting held by the Liao army, and their arrival is very intriguing.

So Chu Yun met them alone after the meeting.

"Are you a few tribes attached to the imperial court? Why do you want to come to the prairie meeting?" Chu Yun asked.

The people from several Mongolian tribes looked at each other, and then said with some embarrassment: "We heard that the prairie meeting convened almost all Mongolian tribes, and wanted to revitalize the Mongolian tribes. As a part of the Mongolian tribes, we came here Participation is also a must.”

"Ahem, it's not just for such a simple reason, is it? I know that you were also forced by the Jurchens to join the Ningyuan army in the south, and you were not willing." Chu Yun could easily detect their intentions, "If you are willing to lead your tribe back Prairie, I will arrange new pastures for you. In exchange, your people may no longer be able to serve in the Ningyuan Army."

"Is this true? Can we return to the prairie?" These Mongolian tribesmen said in surprise.

"That's right. You are now serving the Ningyuan Army. Every time you fight, you have to go through life and death. The young men in the tribe suffered heavy casualties. It will be different when you return to the prairie. You can engage in animal husbandry production and do what you want. If you want to join the army, we welcome it. If you don’t join the army, there are still many warriors from Mongolian tribes who may become cavalry, so that more than half of the young men in a tribe will be killed or injured. How about it?” Chu Yun threw an olive branch.

Being able to return to the prairie without being drafted into the military, and at the same time enjoying the free trade and other treaties stipulated in the prairie agreement, such a thing can't be more beautiful.

"Master, please give us some time. I believe that our clansmen will be very happy to return to the grassland. The vast grassland is where our warriors belong." The people of these tribes said.

"Okay, you are welcome to join our Liao Army at any time," Chu Yun said.

Chu Yun thought to himself, how flattered it was to disintegrate the Mongolian cavalry of Ningyuan's garrison without bloodshed.
