At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 339

Just as the railway construction in Chengdu was in full swing, the imperial court received another special memorial, and Qi Qike, who was far away in Mobei, asked to come to Beijing.

This person is Yexian's daughter, Zhu Qizhen spared her life in the decisive battle in Mobei.

Although Wala was destroyed, there were still many people left behind. Perhaps no one would have cared about it at the time, but Zhu Qizhen knew very well that in the future, Daming's human resources would become more and more tense. These people still have value in staying. It's a waste.

Therefore, the identity of Xiqike is very important.

She is alive, and there are constraints for those Wala people.

Otherwise, these people will fight on their own, and when a new one emerges, it will come out first. It is better to kill them all with one knife.

Qiqike is a smart man, so he naturally knows the stakes. Since the First World War, he has summoned the remaining Wala people to submit to the Ming court. Over the years, life has been pretty good, at least much better than before.

In fact, even in the era when Mahamuhe also ruled first, when the Wara tribe was powerful and powerful, the lives of the people at the bottom were still poor.

The young and strong in the tribe will be conscripted to serve as soldiers, and most of the family's cattle and sheep will also be handed over as military supplies.

Of course, if the frontline is victorious and supplies are seized, corresponding rewards will be given according to the contributions of each tribe.

However, if the battle on the front line is intense, additional conscripts will be required, all the men of the tribe will go to the front line, and even all winter reserves will be sent to the army.

It is conceivable that the life of the Wala people is not easy.

The current situation is quite different. Although Wala is gone, it will be gone first, and the remaining people are like bereaved dogs. However, after being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty for a while, I found that... it is actually quite good!
I used to live a nomadic life, driving cattle and sheep, chasing aquatic plants, and constantly migrating.

Now it's all right, I have a house, I've also distributed the land, and I'm living a life of farming.

With the implementation of the New Deal, workshops are being built everywhere. Even if you don't like farming, you can find a workshop to do work, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not worry about making money.

This kind of life is much better than before!
If you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, who will go all out?

In this way, these people quickly integrated into the Han people and became loyal subjects of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen's impression of Xi Qike was that he was shrewd and decisive, and he could be regarded as a hero among women.

In her body, she has inherited many advantages of Ye Xian. If not for this, those Oirats would not easily obey a woman.

Over the years, Xiqike has managed well. He has also submitted memorials before, most of which were reports on the local situation and the lives of the people. This time he suddenly proposed to go to Beijing to face the saint, but he didn't know what it meant.

After discussions between the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, they were still undecided, so they had to ask Zhu Qizhen for his opinion in person.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't take it seriously, just come here, what is there to worry about?
Cao Nai and Kuang Ye looked at each other, their faces were very conflicted, you killed his own father with your own hands, and now he is coming to see you, you actually said that there is nothing to worry about?
Who knows if she has spent the past few years waiting for a chance to get revenge?
Zhu Qizhen was naturally aware of this, so he said: "The two Qings have worried too much. If you are really worried, just search carefully before entering the palace. I will allow her to enter the capital!"

Seeing what the emperor said, the two couldn't say anything more, so they had to agree.

A month later, Qiqike arrived in the capital.

This time, not only the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet, but even Jin Yiwei is facing a formidable enemy.

What was surprising was that Xiqike didn't bring any guards, only two serving maids, and he didn't even carry a dagger.

After repeated searches, it was finally confirmed that this person did not carry any threatening objects such as sharp weapons, hidden weapons, poisons, etc., and then he was allowed to enter the palace to face the saint.

Entering Fengtian Hall, Xiqike bowed down and kowtowed, shouting long live.

By her side, Yuan Bin was personally accompanying her. From the beginning to the end, his eyes were focused on Xi Qike. As long as this person made any abnormal behavior, he would immediately draw his sword and kill him without hesitation.

Zhu Qizhen's expression was calm, and he waved his hand and said, "The Qing family please come up!"

After Xiqike thanked him, he stood up, but he didn't dare to look directly at Tianyan, but leaned slightly.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "How is the life of the people in Mobei?"

"Thanks to the grace, the common people are now living and working in peace and contentment, and Mobei is already full of vitality."

"That's good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "What is the so-called Qing family's entry into Beijing?"

Qi Qike suddenly asked: "May I ask the emperor, is Mobei the land of the Ming Dynasty? Are the people there the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Beside her, Yuan Bin's heart was agitated, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.

But Zhu Qizhen laughed, and said: "Of course, if the Qing family has anything to say, just say it."

Qi Qike didn't make any detours, and said bluntly: "When I was in Mobei, I saw the report from the imperial court saying that the imperial court allocated 500 million taels of silver and 50 shi to Uszang. May I ask the emperor if there is such a thing?" ?”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "It is true!"

"Wuszang is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Mobei is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Why does the emperor only allocate money and food to Wusizang? Are the people living in Mobei not the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Qizhen laughed suddenly, and said: "It turns out that you are doing this for this matter. Yes, the imperial court allocated a large amount of money and food to Wu Sizang, but these money and food were used to build the railway, and they were not given to them for nothing. "

"In this case, why didn't Mobei build a railway? I have heard that this railway and steam train are very important for the implementation of the New Deal. A railway."

Xiqike's attitude was very clear, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing, which was very appropriate.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help being moved. Yes, there are a lot of materials such as cattle, sheep, furs, etc. on the grasslands. Moreover, they also need cloth, salt, etc. from the Central Plains. The transportation capacity is still a bit poor with only cement roads.

In addition, Beihaiwei, Duoyan Sanwei, and Mohewei are located on the banks of the Onan River, thousands of miles away from the capital, and most of the communication with the imperial court on weekdays relies on fast horses. It seems that it is necessary to build a direct road to the Mohe Northern Railway.

In this way, it can not only drive the economic development of Mobei, but also vigorously develop local resources, thereby improving people's livelihood, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

"That's it!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "I will pass on my will. The cabinet, the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Sciences will immediately plan a railway from the capital to Mobei. Three months later, I will personally preside over the groundbreaking ceremony!"

Cao Nai was watching a play and eating melons, when he heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

Can't you discuss this kind of court affairs with some of us old fellows anyway?

Can't act like we don't exist...

"The minister obeys the order!"
