Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 550 What the hell are you going to form an alliance with me?

Jirigele was originally a road construction laborer. Because of his outstanding performance, he reported a small nobleman plotting to escape. He was promoted to a foreman on the spot by the official in charge of road construction, and was responsible for supervising the work of other Mongolian people.

Normally, Jizhigrad doesn't have to work after becoming a foreman, and he just needs to command other people with a whip every day.

However, Jirigrad likes Daming too much, and loves Daming too much, and still insists on being on the front line of road construction.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunxi ordered the Mongolian and Yuan laborers who were building roads to join the army, he was the first to sign up, and because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to a hundred households and became a grassroots officer in the Ming army.

Now he not only has his own pasture, but also has his own cattle and sheep, as well as full-time herders who graze for him.

This is the treatment that he has never enjoyed in Mengyuan for several lifetimes. Even if he fights bravely and sacrifices his life, he cannot improve the treatment through military exploits.

Based on this, he is more loyal and loving to Daming.

"It's a good time for you to catch up. Now that Daming is going to attack Beiyuan, there is an urgent need for soldiers who are familiar with Beiyuan's terrain and climate."

"We see that you have a good physique. If you can pass Daming's conscription, you will be able to live a good life in the future!"

After saying this, Jirigele went to inspect other herdsmen.

His task is very simple, it is to check the situation of these herdsmen and identify suspicious persons among them.

The so-called suspicious person does not have fixed characteristics, it all depends on his on-the-spot judgment.Even if he said that the Borged family was suspicious, he could report it directly, and General Chang would send someone to investigate.

But he didn't think there was a problem with the Borged family. This is a typical poor herdsman. The family's little belongings are all worn on the body, and the rest are the dozen or so scrawny sheep that are still under their care. Like eyeballs.

This kind of people don't say that they are full of hatred for Bei Yuan. They escaped because Bei Yuan really couldn't survive. How could there be a problem?
After leaving the familiar hometown, Boriged fell into confusion.

Because the people who will interrogate them next are not Mengyuan people, but a group of Daming people who can speak Mengyuan dialect.

These people questioned the names of him and his family, and what properties he owned, and then gave him a wooden sign and asked him to wait in a tall yurt.

It was the first time in Boriged's life that he lived in such a spacious yurt, and he couldn't stop rubbing the felt in the yurt, his eyes full of greed and envy.

"Father, this yurt is so beautiful. If only our family could have one, Grandma would never wake up from freezing in the middle of the night again!"

When Boriged heard his daughter's words, his eyes regained a bit of clarity, and then there was a burst of longing.

"Our family will have it!"

"When you get married in the future, Dad will give you a dowry that is exactly the same as your dowry!"

"Father is so kind!"

While the Boriged family was looking forward to the future, another family entered the yurt.Boriged knew this family. They walked together on the road and took care of each other. They knew each other very well.

"Are you also assigned here?"

"what……"

"Brother Boriged, do you know what this is for? Don't you just give us a tent?"

Borged shook his head.

"will not!"

"When I came here, I asked someone about it. This is just a temporary residence. When we form a league, someone will take us to live in a new place."

"oh oh……"

The new host who came in was amazed at the clean white yurt.

"This tent is really beautiful. If we can have such a tent in our lifetime, we will be willing to die!"

Boriged said encouragingly.

"Don't worry, there will be, we will all have..."

As the two talked, more and more people were in the yurt, and when it reached ten households, a Mongolian man wearing a Ming military uniform walked in.

"You all come with me, I will take you to collect supplies, and then go to divide the pasture!"

The eyes of the people in the yurt all lit up when they heard this.

"True grassland?"

"Of course!"

"Da Ming doesn't allow random grazing, and can only graze in designated pastures. If random grazing enters other people's pastures, they will be punished!"

Boriged had known this rule for a long time, but when he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't help asking.

"My lord, what should I do when the Spring and Autumn period changes?"

"According to the rules on the grassland, we can't keep grazing in one place, we have to give the pasture time to recuperate."

"Stupid!"

"Won't you divide up several areas in your pasture for grazing in rotation?"

"Furthermore, you can grow your own grass..."

"Grow grass?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Boriged was dumbfounded, but other people in the yurt were also dumbfounded.

Their ancestors have grazed for generations, and they have never heard of planting grass by themselves.Didn't the green grass on the grassland grow by itself after a while?

Seeing that everyone was full of doubts, the officer couldn't help explaining.

"Daming is different from Beiyuan. Here we have to grow our own grass. If the grass in the pasture is still not enough, we can use cattle, sheep and money to buy grass from other places to feed the cattle and sheep."

"Anyway, remember one thing, the people of Daming have designated a place for us to graze, so you just stay there honestly and don't run around."

"If anyone dares to run around and is caught by the Ming army as a spy, I will not intercede with you!"

"Humph!"

After the officer said this, he opened the curtain and went out, and the others hurriedly followed after seeing this.

If they were right, this man was their leader.

The officer first brought a group of herdsmen to a vast pasture, and then took out a map to divide the pasture for each herdsman.

"Borged, right..."

"Your ranch is bounded by this river, all the way to the small hill in the east, and there are stone monuments in the south and north..."

Boriged looked at the river in disbelief, at the hills in the distance, and at the green pastures under his feet.

"this is mine?"

"Of course!"

"This is your grassland certificate, but you have to take care of it. If someone else comes to your place to graze in the future and has a lawsuit with you, you can use this thing to file a lawsuit!"

Borged was no longer in the mood to listen to these words. His mind was full of fantasies now, fantasizing about running all over the mountains and fields full of cattle and sheep.

"I have my own ranch?"

"Eternal life is eye-opening, I, Boriged, also have my own pasture, hahaha!"

The officer stopped talking when he saw this, and just watched Boriged quietly from the sidelines.

In fact, when he learned that he could get his own pasture, he was even more excited than Borged in front of him.

When Boriged woke up from the frenzy, the officer took him and others to the supply and marketing cooperative of the Xing'an League to collect supplies.

The so-called Xing'an League consisted of several houses made of wood and adobe, a supply and marketing cooperative responsible for unified purchase and marketing, a health center for mixed use of humans and animals, and a primary school specializing in teaching children to read.

In addition, there are circles of fences, and the fences are full of cattle and sheep. A rough count may not be less than [-].

The officer took the herdsmen under his command to receive tents, cattle and sheep, plus enough rations and grass seeds for three months, and asked them to press their fingerprints on the documents.

"We have to explain to you clearly that these things are not given to you for free, but are lent to you by His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of Ming Dynasty, and you need to repay them with cattle and sheep in the future!"

"It should be, it should be..."

"Our grandson of the Great Ming Emperor has treated us well enough, even if we let him return all the cattle and sheep we will breed in the future, we should also return him!"

The officer shook his head upon hearing this.

"That's not necessary!"

"Just give half of the cattle and sheep bred every year to the emperor's grandson, and you can freely control the rest."

"what?"

"That's all we need for the grandson of the emperor?"

"Of course!"

"Our emperor and grandson are the kindest and kindest people. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it through, so that's all you need!"

When the other herdsmen heard the words, they were all moved and wept bitterly, and their sense of belonging to Daming immediately increased countless times.

One month later, all the herdsmen lived and worked in peace and contentment under Daming's management, and their lives were on the right track.

The Boriged family also adapted to the new pasture and new life.

On this day, when Boriged was leading his two sons to graze, he suddenly saw a group of cavalry surrounded by thousands of people, which scared him to kneel on the ground on the spot, waiting respectfully for the other party's questioning.

However, just as he lay on the ground, shivering like a marmot, he suddenly felt someone kick him.

"Hey!"

"Head up!"

Boriged raised his head anxiously, only to see a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes looking at him with a smile.

Boriged suddenly felt relieved, and grinned at the young man.

"I ask you a few words, and you must answer truthfully."

"what?"

Bozhigede couldn't understand Daming dialect, and when he was in a daze, his chief minister and Baihu rushed to translate for him.

"The grandson of the emperor asked you something, and you have to answer it truthfully!"

"what!"

"You are the grandson of the emperor?"

"The villain pays homage to the grandson of the emperor, the whole family of the villain is fortunate to have survived the grandson of the emperor, the villain... the villain... woo woo woo..."

"Ahhhh!"

"Why are you crying for a big man, hurry up and go back to Gu, and answer Gu's questions honestly!"

"Why did you come to Daming?"

Boriged looked at his head teacher stupidly, and hurriedly answered respectfully after hearing the head teacher translate for him.

"I can't live anymore..."

"The people in Khan Court want to arrest me as a soldier and drive away all my family's cattle and sheep. I really have no choice, so I fled to Daming..."

"Oh……"

Zhu Yunxi had heard this answer many times. Almost all the herdsmen who defected to Daming could not survive in Beiyuan.

However, Bei Yuan cannot be entirely blamed for this, Daming also bears an inescapable responsibility.

The grassland is only that big in total, and the warm and moist grassland near the south has been occupied by Daming. Bei Yuan can only live in Mobei, enduring the harsh natural environment and struggling to survive.

Coupled with Daming's continuous compression of Beiyuan's living space, if Beiyuan wants to maintain normal operation, it can only squeeze the bottom herdsmen hard.

"What are you missing now?"

"No shortage!"

"Nothing is missing!"

"Now we have food and drink, and we can exchange for cheap salt, iron pots, wooden bowls and other supplies. We are already very satisfied, and we are willing to graze for the honorable emperor's grandson forever!"

"Have your children ever gone to study in the league?"

"read?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the bewildered Boriged, turned cold on the spot, and reprimanded Baihu and Shichang behind him.

"How did Gu explain to you?"

"Make sure that every herdsman's child can read and read!"

"Why is no one in this family studying?"

When Shi Chang and Bai Hu heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

"The emperor's grandson calmed down, dereliction of duty in a humble job, willing to be punished..."

"Each person is responsible for twenty sticks. If there is any delay in work, they will all be demoted and dismissed!"

"Thank you grandson!"

The two of them had just kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi when they were dragged down by Jin Yiwei behind them to be beaten with sticks.The twenty sticks were quickly finished, and the two of them returned to the emperor grandson with the support of their subordinates. When they looked at Boriged again, their eyes were full of resentment.

The two of them have figured it out, and when the emperor's grandson leaves, they will find a place from this guy. If he dares to privately drag his son and daughter back from the school in the league to work, they will beat this guy to death !

Zhu Yunxi asked Boriged a few more questions, which were nothing more than asking questions about his coldness and warmth, showing his benevolent side.

After condolences to the Boriged family, he rewarded their family with a few pieces of linen as usual, and left with a group of people.

"Old Zhang, I just have a question, why are the composition of these herdsmen's families so consistent?"

"Almost all of them are a pair of middle-aged couples, leading a few children, and there is no old man..."

Zhang Zongjun smiled slightly when he heard the words.

"Maybe there is?"

"But even if there is, on the way here, he probably died almost."

"This……"

Hearing this answer, Zhu Yunxi felt a deep pain in his heart.

But he quickly forgot about the pain and began to think about the problem as the prince of Ming Dynasty.

"How long will it take to conscript and serve corvee?"

This is the purpose of Zhu Yunxi's preferential treatment of the Mongolian and Yuan herdsmen. What is given to them now will eventually be repaid with their lives.

"Hard to say!"

"If Wang Hua's education can keep up, it may be effective within three years."

"However, if we want them to be completely naturalized, it will take at least three generations to complete."

Zhu Yunxi frowned secretly when he heard the words.

"It's been too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then..."

Zhang Zongjun smiled wryly when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, there is no need to rush this kind of thing. Now that the people's hearts are not attached, rash conscription and corvee service will only make the herdsmen feel alienated."

"And our battle against Beiyuan is about to start, we must have a stable rear!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded depressedly upon hearing this.

"How can Gu not know?"

"Gu just wants to completely solve the Beiyuan problem while Grandpa Huang is alive, so that Grandpa Huang will have a bright face when he meets the emperors of all Chinese dynasties!"

"His Royal Highness is sincere and filial, he is indeed a role model for the world!"

Zhu Yunxi ignored Zhang Zongjun's rainbow fart, turned his horse's head and galloped towards Guihua City.

After returning to Guihua City, Zhu Yunxi immediately summoned a group of accompanying officials to ask them about the process of recruiting the Ming army, and urged the inland to speed up the process of transshipment of grain and grass.

Just as Zhu Yunxi was sharpening his sword and rushing towards Beiyuan, he suddenly caught a group of Beiyuan's special envoys.

"let me go!"

"Shamelessly represent Dayuan Khan, an envoy to Ming Dynasty!"

"When the two countries are at war, don't behead envoys!"

Zhu Yunxi could not help showing a playful smile on his face as he listened to the lame Daming dialect outside the door.

Unexpectedly, the Beiyuan people even learned this sentence?

"Chang Jizu, go take a look outside and bring this group of envoys here!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Chang Jizu escorted a dirty Mengyuan man in, kicked him at the crook of the leg, and the Mengyuan man knelt down on the ground.

"Don't you still pay your respects to His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of Ming Dynasty?"

"Emperor grandson?"

"I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who has the time to talk to the grandson of the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled instead of anger when he heard the words.

"Come here, explain to him, whoever decides in Daming now!"

Zhang Zongjun hurried forward when he heard the words, and spoke in fluent Mongolian and Yuan dialect.

"The person sitting in front of you now is my Royal Highness, the Empress Dowager of Daming."

"Our Emperor Daming has ignored political affairs for many years, and now all military and political affairs of Ming Dynasty are handled by the emperor's grandson."

"If you want to complete your mission as soon as possible, then hurry up and pay your respects to our Royal Highness!"

"what?"

The Mongolian envoy was full of disbelief, looked at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously, and then at Zhang Zongjun with a goatee.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Why lie to you?"

"If you don't believe me, go to Changshengtian to inquire!"

"Come here, push this person out and chop him up, and send him to see Changshengtian!"

When the Mongolian envoy heard this, he kowtowed in fright.

"Foreign ministers pay respects to His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Foreign ministers were ordered by Dayuan's new Khan to present an alliance document to Daming. May Daming and Dayuan be reconciled forever!"

Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and thought to himself that I am gearing up for a war here, why the hell are you going to form an alliance with me?
