Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 682

Unconvinced, Anu took a hoe to dig the mounds and ditches, and his cousin Sa Ren buried the sweet potato vines in the dug ditch.Women from other Mongolian tribes also work in pairs.

Empress Zhang looked at this scene helplessly.

"Since His Majesty let them stay, you have to discipline them well, otherwise there will be no peace in this harem."

"You are the lord of the six palaces, you are the one who sets the rules in this palace."

The queen said with a headache, "How can the concubine have the energy now that she has a big belly, she still has to accompany the fourth and fifth princesses, and she has to take care of the eldest princess and the ninth prince, besides, look at their barbaric appearance, the concubine can't control them. "

"If you are barbaric and don't know etiquette, let's start with etiquette. I will find some female officials to teach them the rules of Chinese etiquette, from hairstyles to clothing to Mandarin."

The queen smiled, "The concubine thinks Mrs. Wang is very suitable for teaching them, and those who are dissatisfied will be convinced directly. I heard that Mrs. Wang is good at riding and shooting, and she is also good at boxing and scripting."

Wang Sangyu's current relationship with the emperor is actually known to many people.As the daughter-in-law and widow of Liu Chongxun, the chief assistant of Chongzhen, Wang Sangyu also became a monk. This kind of relationship was not allowed, but the Liu family didn't say much.

Wang Sangyu wanted it himself, and the emperor liked it.

However, Wang Sangyu didn't enter the palace, and didn't want to be titled. With her current status, she was a bit like the emperor's housewife. Empress Zhang knew about it, but she didn't care.

She didn't care if she didn't enter the palace.

"If you say that, it does seem to be okay. I'll try it later and let Sangyu discipline them with the method of military training. They have all entered the palace. What about Oirat, Khalkha, Chahar, and Horqin? Ministry, we follow the rules of the Central Plains, follow the father at home, follow the husband when married, come to Daming, they are now my Zhu Yihai's women, so they have to follow the rules of Daming.

If you mess up, you can deal with it according to the law! "

The queen looked at the group of Mongolian women, and although she was reluctant, she still suggested to the emperor, "In fact, no matter the Mongols, Koreans, Jurchens, or Han people, they are all women. If your majesty really wants to let them settle down, it's easy. Let them have children and it will never happen again."

"Women still have to bind their feet. If you are afraid of pain, you can bind less, so that you will not run around with big feet."

Zhu Yihai saw that the queen took the opportunity to bring up this issue again, so he interrupted her quickly.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I have told you a long time ago, and I have also told all the royal family members that the Zhu family will never allow feet to be bound in the future. More or less, big or small, good feet , what to wrap around what, do you have to be tossed into a deformed deformity?"

Zhu Yihai would never bind his daughter's feet, no matter how much it was.

He also made a decree to the clan and royal family long ago, the old Zhu family is not allowed to entangle any more since the first year of Shaotian, and the girls who were entangled before are not allowed to be entangled anymore, and those born in the future are not allowed to be entangled in the slightest.

Anyone who dares to bind the feet of a woman in the family will be severely punished.

The clan relatives want to get rid of the nobles and seize the salary, and the emperor's relatives also want to stop the rations of the old and the young.

Last year, it was extended to families of honored officials and scholars. Anyone who binds the feet of a woman in the family will be severely punished. Those who are serious will be dismissed from office and even exiled to Taiwan.

The bad habit of foot-binding began in the Song Dynasty, and it became more and more popular in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially bureaucrats and bureaucrats pay more and more attention to foot binding, even to the point where young ladies from rich families cannot get married without foot binding.

They use small feet to distinguish family status and class.

Even the Tartars couldn't stand this kind of behavior. When the Tartars first entered the customs, they issued an order to shave their hair and at the same time banned the footbinding of women from the Eight Banners. If they found out, they would be severely punished.

This year Zhu Yihai intends to order the whole world to forbid footbinding of all people in all places.

Foot-binding and waist-binding are actually quite perverted behaviors. If they are good and natural, they must be tossed and deformed.Those women in Europe used whalebone to make waistbands, and forcibly deformed the waistbands, while the scholar-officials in the Song and Ming Dynasties started to bind their feet when they were young.

Even later in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the entanglement became more and more serious, until the bones were broken and curled, and the feet were entangled to the length of a hand, and the road could not be walked. It was a lifetime thing to become disabled forcibly.

Queen Zhang actually had her feet bound before, a small one, but she didn't say that she broke her bones and folded her feet so hard, but her feet were indeed bound very small. Anyway, Zhu Yihai didn't think that the small feet of size 32 were any better than that. 36 seven yards looks good.

He even forbade Queen Zhang to play tricks on the little princesses.

Empress Zhang was a little frightened by the emperor's stern expression. She had always been somewhat afraid of this husband. They had been married for several years, and sometimes she also felt that she was aggrieved by what the empress did.

Zhu Yihai saw that her complexion was not good, so he took her hand and stroked it, "Okay, I shouldn't say it so seriously, but some ideas really need to be changed. , not to mention that the feet are so small.

You are now pregnant and heavy. I will ask Concubine Chen and Concubine Ruan to help you take care of the affairs of the harem. I will arrange these barbaric Mongolian women to a palace in the outskirts first, and let Sang Yu lead some female officials to teach them well. Their etiquette and official language, etc., avoid making noise in the palace every day and affecting you. "

The emperor's gentle tone moved Empress Zhang, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

Make a fuss all day.

The Miya fields are all planted, such as sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, melons, etc. Although Anu and the others are from the grasslands and are strong, they have never dug the soil and planted the land. One by one tired.

Zhu Yihai didn't let them go back to the palace that day, but put them directly in the palace. He also called Wang Sangyu and Zeng Ying's Qiang wife Dong Qiongying. Dong Qiongying was also a famous chieftain girl. The women's battalion rescued Zeng Ying, and later they became husband and wife. They still led a barbarian women's battalion to assist Zeng Ying in fighting Zhang Xianzhong, and now they are also in Beijing with Zeng Ying.

Zhu Yihai also had a plan earlier, to train some female soldiers to replace some eunuchs. It would be a lifetime thing for eunuchs to castrate them. Female soldiers can also be like palace maids, and they can leave the palace to marry and have children after a few years of service.

night.

Zhu Yihai specially called Anu to his room.

Anu was listless and looked very tired.

"Sit down, I heard that your father, Chechen Khan, was married to Batuer Huntaiji at the beginning, and both wives were pregnant at the time, and you and Sengge were the ones who gave birth later?"

"Your Majesty can speak Mongolian?" Anu was a little surprised.

"Knowing what you know and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. When I was a general in the Lu Fan Kingdom, in addition to studying the Four Books and Five Classics, I also learned the languages ​​and characters of Mongolia, Hou Jin, Korea, Japan, and even Spain and England.

I like the heroic epic "Janger" that originated from your Wala. In this epic, the tribal leader Jianger, the red lion Hongguer, and the wise star Atan Tseki, these grassland heroes, I like very much .

Of course, Anu also learned from Jianger. This is a heroic epic that originated in Oirat, and it has been spread almost throughout Mongolia for hundreds of years.

It tells the story of [-] lion generals and thousands of warriors headed by Jianger, who fought hard against evil forces in order to defend Baomuba's hometown and finally won the victory.

As a rap narrative poem, it has been circulated among the Oirat Mongolians for hundreds of years, and finally spread to all Mongolian tribes. By this time, its content has continued to increase, and it has been filled to nearly [-] lines.

When the Turghuts, one of the four tribes of the Oirats, traveled to the lower reaches of the Volga River to settle decades ago, they also brought this epic to the northern shore of the Caspian Sea and spread it to Europe.

For the Mongols, especially the Oirat Mongols, this epic is like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Shiji in the Central Plains, and it is very popular.

Anu has liked the stories of the warriors in it since he was a child.

Zhu Yihai saw that she didn't seem to believe her, so he talked to her about Jiang Geerli's story in Mongolian. The tone and rhythm, the familiar story, and the different ways of telling it made Anu cry in this foreign country.

Listening, she couldn't help but stand up and start singing and dancing.

Jianger is a grassland epic, and the way of dissemination is singing. There is no specific text, but word of mouth. It is even said that because it is too long, few people can finish singing.

Anu has a great voice.

"There is no decline, no death, everything is everlasting, and the people there are always as strong as 25-year-old youths. In Baomuba, the cold winter is as warm as spring, and the hot summer is as cool as autumn. When lonely people come to Baomuba, they can The population is prosperous, and the poor come to Baomuba, and they will be rich and prosperous.

In the place of Baomuba, people's wealth is balanced, and the boundary between rich and poor disappears..."

Baomba in the epic is an ideal country, a utopia in the hearts of Mongolians.

Zhu Yihai also sang along.

Anu sang and danced, and finally stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Yihai up, and they jumped up together.

A few months after coming to the Central Plains, although there are cousins ​​here, other Oirat tribesmen, and even maids and servants brought by their own tribe, this place is so out of place with the grassland, especially when they are locked in the small palace. It made her even more uncomfortable.

She misses her hometown and the grassland every day.

No day is happy.

But tonight, for the first time, she felt that the strange husband of the emperor was strange but familiar.

Singing and dancing, Anu took the initiative to hug Zhu Yihai and kissed him when the love was strong.

······
The summer morning sun shines directly into the room through the window, Zhu Yihai wakes up, and finds that Anu is looking at him with his head on his hands.

"You already woke up?"

"Well, you sound asleep like a baby."

"I sang and danced with you last night, and finally tossed and tossed for a long time. I was really tired." Zhu Yihai admired Anu's good physical strength.

Zhu Yihai was about to get up, but Anu hugged him, "You are my Jianger."

"If I don't get up again, I will miss the morning."

Although Zhu Yihai had already changed the morning time from five or six in the morning to eight o'clock in the morning, so that the court ministers would have to get up in the middle of the night every day to go to court, he himself did not think of it being so early.

But looking at the sun now, if it is delayed any longer, the morning morning at Chenzheng (eight o'clock) will not be able to catch up.

"I'm going to the morning court first. When you have time, you can write a letter to your father Erqitu Chechen Khan, telling him that the bird guns, gunpowder, and artillery I promised to sell to him before are all ready, but we need Self-promotion. Ask him, should he go to Xining near Qinghai to pick it up, or should we send him to Jiayu Pass in Gansu?"

"My suggestion is that he came to Xining to pick it up. Recently, the Yarkand Khanate has not been peaceful. I have been fighting in places such as the Hamiwei of the Seven Guards of Kansai in the Ming Dynasty. Previously, a merchant of the Ming Dynasty was robbed in Kansai after leaving the customs. These I’m afraid it’s not easy to get the firearms through, so it’s better to come to Xining via Qinghai to extract them.”

The Yarkand Khanate mentioned by Zhu Yihai was founded by Said Sultan, who was a descendant of Chagatai and the third younger brother of Eastern Chagatai Khan Mansu Khan, so it was named because its capital was in Yarkand (Shache).

This is a crescent church regime established by the Mongols, and it has a history of more than 100 years. Its jurisdiction originally included the six cities of Kashgar, Kashgar, Yarkand, Khotan, Yingjisha, Aksu, and Wushi, but it also included Turpan in its heyday. , Yanqi and Narganna are still quite strong.

Decades ago, they also defeated the Junggar tribe and took back the Ili River Valley and Lake Balkhash, but they were defeated by Oirat later. Now they mainly control the area south of the Tianshan Mountains, and also rule Tashkent and Fir. Ghana.

They also annexed the Turpan Khanate.

Between Jiayuguan and Turpan, the Seven Guards of Kansai were also set up in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, seven guards including Hami Guards. An independent kingdom, the court does not send troops or officials, and does not levy taxes. It is only nominally affiliated to the Ming Dynasty.

Later, with the revival of the Chagatai Khanate, the Kansai Seven Guards became even more out of control.In the end, the Seven Guards of Kansai were first invaded and occupied by the Turpan Khanate, and then the Turpan Khanate was annexed by Yarkand.

Many people in Qiwei moved eastward and settled in Pingliang and other areas.

To the west of Jiayuguan, there is no longer a Ming Dynasty. The old frontiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties, such as Shazhou Dunhuang, Guazhou, and Yumen, are all green.

Zhu Yihai didn't mention it casually to Anuti Yarkand at this time.

When the four tribes of Oirat in Moxi came to pay tribute on their own initiative, Yarkand did not come to pay tribute, and even looted the caravans and goods from the Ming Dynasty in Kansai.

Milayin and Ding Guodong from Hexi sent envoys to the Yarkand Khanate, but the envoys were killed!
Hexi was originally the commander of the outer towns such as Milayin and Ding Guodong. They were native officials of the Hui tribe. However, they intercepted commercial routes, attacked and killed merchants, and even beheaded envoys. In the final analysis, it was mainly because of Oirat Moxi Mongolia's contacts with Daming to start trade.

But Yeerqiang has been a country for more than a hundred years, and has been fighting with Oirat for more than a hundred years. Now Ili has been robbed by Junggar again. Yeerqiang is very dissatisfied, especially after hearing that Oirat also purchased firearms from the Ming Dynasty. , So sent troops to intercept Kansai.

Zhu Yihai didn't care about the fight between Oirat and Yarkand, but they even engaged in Da Ming's fight together, so Zhu Yihai couldn't bear it.

It's just that now he doesn't even officially control Hexi and Gansu, and Milayin and others are just outer towns, so Zhu Yihai intends to borrow a knife to kill people, use trade and arms as bait, and let Oirat's Heshuote, Junggar and other departments unite, and then let Milayin and others in Hexi also cooperated appropriately and fought with Yarkand.

If you fight well, you can take back the Kansai Seven Guards at that time. If you don’t fight well, you won’t lose much. If you start the battle between Oirat and Yarkand, the two strong neighbors will fight, and you can also sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. weaken their strength.
