Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"Sons of Baliannadu."

"Ben will know that you were forced to come here, and now I will also see your innocence."

"My sons and daughters, go home. Your wives, your children, and your family are all waiting for you at home. Go back. Nothing happened tonight. You go back to graze and feed the cattle and sheep. There will be nothing in the future. The leader of the headman is asking you for pastures for cattle and sheep."

When Cao Wenzhao's words were spread in unison by a Ming army soldier, the young and strong who had been coerced burst into cheers. They paid respects to Cao Wenzhao, and then they ignored the swords on the ground and carried torches. He rode a horse towards his home.

Yes, their families, their wives and children are still waiting for them at home.

The [-] cavalry on the outside let go and let the [-] young men return to their homes.

When the young and strong people left, the huge camp suddenly seemed empty.

This big camp was built according to the standard of 3 people, and now apart from a few thousand soldiers of the Ming army, only Balen Heba, Nadu Erzan and these leaders are left.

Seeing that the old department that he worked so hard to gather betrayed him like this, and ran away without a single one left, Balenheba's brain was close to shutting down.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Balian Heba coldly, and Nadu praised these people. With a move, the soldiers of the Ming army stepped forward: "Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Get off the horse!"

Thousands of soldiers of the Ming army wore armor and held guns. With every step they took, the sound of the incomparably neat steps and the sound of the iron armor and iron leaves colliding together made Balenheba and Nadu praise the hearts of these people involuntarily. Tremble.

The approaching soldiers of the Ming army made Balenheba and the others feel as if they were being forced onto a cliff.

With angry shouts of "get off the horse", one headman felt his whole body go limp, and fell off his horse all of a sudden. Immediately afterwards, the other headmen dismounted tremblingly.

Seeing that he was surrounded by the Ming army, and those black muskets could smash himself into a sieve, Balenheba hurriedly stammered: "Cao"

"General Cao, we have absolutely no intention of treason!"

Nadu Erzan followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, please General Cao to trust us, we really didn't intend to rebel."

Cao Wenzhao smiled: "Whether you have the intention of treason or not, I will not know."

"But Balian Nadu must not be able to accommodate you all, so please go to the capital and explain to the emperor."

"Put them down and send them to the capital!"

Following Cao Wenzhao's order, the surrounding soldiers of the Ming army rushed up, directly tied up Balian Heba, Nadu Erzan and others, and then put them in a prison car, allowing them to beg for mercy and even yell at them, Cao Wenzhao always indifferent.

After returning to the tent of the Chinese army, Chen Yawan asked, "General Cao, is it resolved?"

Cao Wenzhao hugged his pocket, very relaxed: "It's just a bunch of jumping clowns. They want to rebel, and it depends on whether the sons of Baliannadu agree."

"Now, this Balianna can be said to be the true Balianna capital of my Ming Dynasty. The herdsmen all have their hearts attached to the imperial court, and they are already my citizens of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Yawan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This is a blessing."

The next day, Balian Heba, Nadu Erzan and other leaders squatted in the prison cart, escorted by a team of cavalry to the capital.

When the former aristocrats were loaded into the prison cars and the headmen passed through the pastoral areas, the herdsmen looked at the headmen and leaders who were tied up in the prison cars, and their fear of them disappeared suddenly.

In front of Daming, these leaders who were once aloof and seemed to represent the will of Changshengtian seemed so fragile and vulnerable.

When the fear of these former leaders and leaders in the hearts of the herdsmen is broken, the herdsmen can be regarded as the real herdsmen of Ming Dynasty, because the shackles in their hearts have been broken, and only when they lose the shackles can they truly stand up.

Cao Wenzhao sent people to escort Balian Heba and Nadu back to Beijing this time, not only for these few people, he also had a few books, as well as a group of cattle and horses to drive into Beijing.

War horses and cattle were the most important livestock in the Central Plains Dynasty. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of war horses in the horse farms in the north. As a result, as the vassal kings, officials, and gentry invaded the pastures, there were not many war horses in the horse farms of Daming at the end of Ming Dynasty.

Now Cao Wenzhao's group of horses and cattle came to Beijing to let Zhu Youxiao see the achievements of the grassland campaign.

When Balianheba, Nadu Erzan and others were imprisoned in a prison cart and ostentatiously entered the capital, the Ming people in the capital knew that the imperial court had won another battle on the grassland.

And this time it was even more outrageous, 50 Ming troops went out of the Great Wall and directly defeated [-] Mongolian cavalry, and now they have taken down a large tribe with a population of [-] million, and there is a thousand miles of grassland outside the Great Wall.

How brilliant is this? !

This is a style that only existed in the early Ming Dynasty!

Looking at the Mongolian noble leaders in the prison cars, the big flags, and the large number of cows and horses, the people in the capital fell into carnival again: the once invincible Ming Dynasty who looked down on the East, and came back!
And Zhu Youxiao went to court again.

The civil and military officials who had received the news in advance knew that Zhu Youxiao, the dog emperor, had won again. They hated secretly, but they could do nothing. Facing the emperor who was going from one victory to another, what could they do?
People have the power to overthrow everything and start over.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Following the worship of all the officials, Zhu Youxiao, who wore a black gauze wing crown and a bright yellow tuanlong robe, walked up to the nine-story pole bank and sat on the throne: "Everyone loves you."

Looking at the courtiers in scarlet robes of birds and beasts, gold, silver and jade belts around their waists, and jade wats in their hands, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that these people were quite cute.

The smiling Zhu Youxiao looked at these courtiers one by one. Except for Zhang Haogu and others, the rest of the old party members lowered their heads one by one. No one dared to look at Zhu Youxiao's expression.

Zhu Youxiao saw that these people looked like ostriches and lowered their heads so that they would not be noticed, so they couldn't help but sneered: "Everyone, do you know why I am so happy today?"

Looking at the silent civil and military ministers, Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "That's because my general won the battle on the grassland!"

"And it's a big victory!"

"Wang Tiqian, read this excerpt to all the ministers."

Wang Tiqian on the side hurriedly bowed to accept the booklet, and then read: "In September of the ninth year of the weather, my minister Cao Wenzhao was ordered to lead an army out to aid the Balian tribe. Lead the army to chase and kill, destroy the bandits and chieftains in their old lairs, surrender more than ten thousand enemies, and Nadu all surrender to Ming Dynasty."

".Ranba Company intends to rebel, and joins forces with the old Nadu Department to conspire to cause rebellion, which was discovered and suppressed by the ministers"

"Today, the Balian and Nadu tribes are merged into one, with a total of 350 domes and a population of 47. All of them are subject to my Ming Dynasty, and the Qianlibalian Nadu Grassland is owned by my Daming .”

"In this battle, my Ming harvested more than three million cattle and sheep, and one million horses!"

Hearing more than three million cattle and sheep, and a million horses, all the civil and military ministers couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss!"

Immediately afterwards, these civil and military ministers began to discuss in a low voice:

"How did these [-] people defeat the [-] Tatar cavalry?"

"Is it true that so many cattle, sheep and horses have been seized? And there are thousands of miles of grasslands? Isn't it an exaggeration?"

"Nearly 50 herdsmen surrendered to me, Daming? Will there be any problems?"

Standing in the front row, Zhang Haogu quietly listened to the discussions of the ministers behind him, and gasped from time to time. In the future, global warming and the melting of the glaciers in the North and South Poles must be blamed on these people!

Zhu Youxiao looked at the inconceivable looks of these civil and military ministers proudly, and said: "Bring up the leaders of the Balian Department and the Nadu Department, and let me have a look."

Hearing that Nayan and the heads of the Balian and Nadu tribes had been arrested, the ministers shut up, and they quietly glanced at the entrance of the hall. Soon, each of them was sent to the left, with dark complexions, five big and three rough The Tatar nobles were escorted up by the big Han generals. Looking at the braids, earrings, nose rings, jewelry and fur clothes of these people, you can know that these are definitely the nobles of the Tatar tribe, and the general small tribes do not There may be these pure gold jewelry.

Now, the ministers believed it, the dog emperor really won another big victory on the grassland!

Nima, why? !

Why does the dog emperor always win? !

If things go on like this, what is the use of us ministers who are supposed to reprimand Fang Qiu and give advice?
You won't be laid off in the future, will you? !
While the ministers were thinking wildly, Balenheba, Nadu Erzan and other leaders had already been pinned to the ground.

Nadu Erzan and Balenheba imagined that they came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but they imagined that they would ride a horse, hold a big banner, and come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to show off their might, and then the dog emperor would give them gold, silver, jewelry, and beauty weapons. what.

They never thought that they would kneel on the ground like they are now, not daring to lift their heads.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the Tatar nobles who were kneeling with great interest, and looked at these trembling Tatars who were almost lying on the ground, and couldn't help shaking his head: "The Tatars are really in decline now. .”

"You don't have to worry about me killing you, I'm in a good mood today, come here, detain them, send them to a labor camp, let them live for the rest of their lives."

Sending them to labor camps can still provide for the rest of their lives? !

All the ministers suddenly couldn't understand the word "care for life". The unlucky guy who was sent to the labor camp, if he could live for three to five years, he would be lucky. With the style of acting as if they are not dead, these Tatars may have to deal with road construction, mining, and digging ditches in this life.

After these Tatar nobles were taken down, Zhu Youxiao looked at the courtiers standing in the hall in bright clothes: "My loves, why don't you say a word?"

"Isn't it a good thing that the court won the battle?"

"Or, fellow ministers, do you have any other opinions?"

All the civil and military ministers look at me and I look at you, no matter what the civil servants are, honorable and proud, they knelt down in unison and shouted: "Congratulations to Daming, congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, Long live, long live!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and stood up: "Retire!"

"Master comes with me!"

Zhang Haogu bowed and glanced at these ministers with complex expressions: "Everyone, this pavilion is going to take a step first."

After Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu left, the ministers in the hall stood up in twos and threes, sighing and shaking their heads. This imperial court is so warlike, even though it is big, it will die.

And Zhu Youxiao completely ignored the opinions of these instrumental ministers, he was in a very good mood at the moment: "Master, did you see the faces of these people?"

"I'm dying of laughter, those dumbfounded faces are really my good servants!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's expression was already filled with killing intent. Anyone who has a group of subordinates who can't see his good side all the time will kill anyone, let alone Zhu Youxiao is still the emperor.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Why does the emperor bother with those people?"

"Let them continue to watch and see how this great Ming restores the prosperous age of Yongle and how the emperor becomes the emperor through the ages."

"At that time, let's see what these people have to say, and see who is right and who is wrong."

Now Zhu Youxiao, who has won a big battle and captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, also laughed loudly: "Yes, yes!"

"If I don't kill them, I really want to raise them well!"

"Those who are willing to go to Liaodong go to Liaodong, and those who are willing to vote for Tatars vote for Tatars!"

"I want these people to live well, watch carefully, watch how my Ming Dynasty conquers the world, watch how I rule the world, wherever the banner of the Great Ming goes, wherever the sun and the moon shine, there are all mountains and rivers of my Ming Dynasty territory!"

Today's Zhu Youxiao is really full of pride. He defeated the Liaodong Jiannu and the Mongolian Tatars. He beat all the known enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is full of confidence and ambition.

Back in Xiyuan, looking at the 300 million livestock and millions of horses mentioned in the memorial, Zhu Youxiao said to himself: "Master, you said that there are these million horses, and then recruit young and strong from all over the country, three years later After five years, will I be able to pull up a hundred thousand cavalry?"

Millions of horses, excluding reserve horses, stallions, specially-bred mares, and then selecting horses of the right age for training, there are only 40 million horses. These 40 million horses can really only pull out [-] cavalry Come.

Zhang Haogu knew what Zhu Youxiao was thinking. He still wanted to train Han knights. Inner Mongolia included a [-] battalion. But Ming must have its own cavalry force. What is more reliable and trustworthy than the Han people? of?
If the imperial court really pulled out [-] Han cavalry, there would really be no power in the world that could stop Zhu Youxiao. He could really sweep the world, and the entire Ming Dynasty would obey his will.

Zhang Haogu nodded, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "As long as the emperor wants to do it, in three to five years, you will definitely have a Han cavalry belonging to the imperial court."

"At that time, the imperial court had tens of thousands of foreign cavalry, plus [-] Han cavalry. It would be easy for you to pacify Liaodong and conquer Mobei."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Yes, that's what I plan to do!"

"Now I run and swim every day, and I also learn boxing, kicking and swords from a few masters. My physical fitness may not be as good as your master, but it's not bad!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked longingly into the distance: "When my iron cavalry is completed, I will learn from the ancestors and his old man, and the imperial driver will personally conquer, sweep across Liaodong and Mobei, and lay a big territory for Daming!"

Looking at Zhu Youxiao whose eyes are shining brightly, Zhang Haogu also smiled happily. This is the best student he has taught. An emperor, an emperor, how can he not have the ambition to expand the territory and serve the country? Kindness for the people?

Now that Zhu Youjiao has gradually become what Zhang Haogu expected, how can he be unhappy?

Excited, Zhu Youxiao looked at the papers submitted by Cao Wenzhao and Chen Yawan about building roads and fortifications in Baliannadu, and nodded while reading: "I remember that during the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered the general Wei Qing to go out and recover the land. Hetao, build a city and build roads, move Dingkou, and bring Hetao back into the territory of our Han family."

"Although I don't have Marquis Changping now, I also have Uncle Dingyuan. Uncle Dingyuan expanded thousands of miles of land for me, took in 50 herders, and millions of livestock. This feat is rare in all dynasties except during the period when Taizu became an ancestor. I dare not compare myself to Chengzu and Emperor Wu, but at least he is also a Zhaoxuan, right?"

"About building the city and building roads, I agreed. Didn't they want to find Shanxi merchants for loans? I gave them this right. In addition to Shanxi merchants, the imperial court also granted them a sum of money to do it with their hearts. Build roads that need to be built, and build cities that need to be built.”

"Since this Qianliba even Nadu grassland has become my Daming's grassland, it can no longer be divided. I have no habit of spitting out the meat I eat."

"It's just a pity that there are not enough cattle and sheep sent to the territory this time."

Zhang Haogu comforted: "About these things, I have also explained to Chen Yawan."

"Since the herdsmen are attached, it is natural to show the attitude of the court. The land within the Great Wall is divided into fields, and beyond the Great Wall is the pasture for cattle and sheep. Now that the herdsmen have divided the pastures for cattle and sheep in the Balian Nadu grassland, how can they care about it? Da Ming to me?"

"And they take care of their own cattle and sheep more than taking care of the court's cattle and sheep. It seems that it is a loss at the moment, but in the future, Baliana will be able to provide cattle, sheep and horses to the court every year."

"This Qianliba Lian Nadu Grassland is the best source of my Daming's livestock. Although the cattle and sheep are divided now, there will be a steady stream of cattle, sheep and fur in the coming year."

"And although there are not many cattle and sheep this time, there are tens of thousands of cattle that can be used for farming. Distributing them to various farms can also alleviate the farm's manpower problem."

"As for the capital of Balianna, in the future, not only will it provide the imperial court with cattle and sheep, horses, but also wool, cheese, potatoes, and cotton. In the first two years, the imperial court may still need loan support, but in the future, this Balianna will definitely be able to provide the imperial court with Bring in big taxes."

Zhu Youxiao also nodded frequently: "Master is very right, those rotten Confucians say that the grassland is tasteless."

"But how do they know how rich the grassland is? Cattle and sheep, horses, fur, cotton, and minerals. The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. It looks barren, but there are many good things. Once it’s developed, it’s another source of income for me.”

"These rotten Confucians are full of talk and sage principles, but none of them can be used in governing the country. These worms have no skills other than empty talk. Sometimes I really want to send them all to Huang Taiji to save the whole day Wandering in the court hall, blocking my eyes."
