Villager of Daming

Chapter 706 Different races have the same combat power

After eating eighty cents full, everyone came to bask in the sun in a specially built glass house by the lake. This glass has no lead oxide and does not block ultraviolet rays.

Why build a house specifically to bask in the sun?Because it's cold outside, the temperature is now [-] degrees above zero, which is uncomfortable.

Especially babies, they need to be exposed to the sun to replenish calcium, and the lead oxide glass blocks all ultraviolet rays.

With just this glass house and one statement, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he had become an immortal.

When he was rebelling, how could he have imagined that he would be like this?Never dreamed of it.

Just like Zhu Wentian's biggest dream of the older generation, there are lights and phones upstairs and downstairs, these are the best days.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not even imagine this. Now there are flushing toilets, electric lights, heating, tap water, twelve-hour hot water, and a dedicated house to bask in the sun.

If he were suddenly asked to go back to his old days, he would go crazy.

"The surface of the lake is sparkling. Is it frozen in the north?" Zhu Yuanzhang drank tea. There were dried fruits and fruits on the small table.

"Father, the small river is frozen, and the big river only has a thin layer. It will take a few days to freeze over. The ice layer is thin.

It also depends on the situation. As soon as the temperature drops, you can now skate on the ice. I don’t know what will happen to the Hunhe River next to Helin.

Another 2 people were sent there, plus some craftsmen. This time they mainly sent instruments, hot air balloons, some parts, steam engines and other things there for remanufacturing. "

Zhu Biao was eating pine nuts, which he got in exchange for from the Jurchens. He already knew how precious these things were.

It takes more than 20 years to produce seeds, just like iron trees blooming. The pine nuts he eats are older than him.

The pine nuts are fried in Xiaqiu Village, and then pressed manually with mechanical assistance. There is no such thing as frying.

The ones that are smooth on the outside are soaked in medicine and then fried.

In Zhu Wentian's time, the knowledgeable Northeastern people did not eat the fried pine nuts, because if they could not be sold, they would be fried again.

Really good Northeastern pine nuts are just like those eaten by Zhu Biao. They have a rough outer skin and are fried first and then pressed, so they don’t taste bad when eaten.

"Do you dare to ask you to go again?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at the elder.

"Haier will lead the team by himself? Then if we don't go, we don't know what difficulties we will encounter. Boy doesn't have the technical means to solve it."

Zhu Biao was very honest. If he couldn't go by himself, it would be no problem to bring the team from Xiaqiu Village.

He had felt it firsthand last time. It was too difficult along the way. If it weren't for Xiaqiu Village, he would have died in the desert.

"Yes, people are afraid that they don't know it. There are natural barriers in the north in winter, like the poisonous miasma in Yunnan. What is the difficulty in the land of Jurchens?"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised the good old man, yes, this is correct. Without the protection of Xiaqiu Village, who would dare to cross the desert in winter?
The people sent set off early, and instead of walking through the desert, they had to go around in a circle.

If he looked at the leader later, he wouldn't be able to bask in the sun and catch a sheep.

Fortunately, the headmaster had already prepared and had no intention of basking in the comfortable sun. Seeing that His Majesty finally brought up something he had prepared before, he took a sip of tea and swallowed the chestnuts.

"Your Majesty, there are many hills and mountains over there, but there is a large plain. It is surrounded by mountains and hills. It is a good place. If you occupy it, you can develop inside. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

During the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan raised troops from there, causing the Tang Dynasty to finally fall.

But it is not really the entire Northeast. The entire Northeast includes the Balhae Kingdom. At that time, the Balhae Kingdom was ambitious and wanted to contact Silla and Japan to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

After that, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms came, and the Khitan occupied the northeastern region. Fortunately, the Five Dynasties did not invade China. The Tang Dynasty was still very powerful. He led a group of people to death before he died.Then during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was the Liao Kingdom. The Northern Song Dynasty made alliances and concessions, and finally the Jurchens rose up, destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and became the Jin Kingdom.

The Northern Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty colluded with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Kingdom, but the Jurchens were still there.

The Yuan Dynasty appeared and unified all over there, and the territory was very large. However, due to the excessive militarism and internal instability, we have the Ming Dynasty today.

If the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty cannot be integrated in and truly occupy there, then in the future..."

The head of the village briefly talked about the history of the Northeast region according to Hanhan's teachings. Of course, he didn't know that the Manchus in the Northeast established the Qing Dynasty in the subsequent history.

Many years later, Japanese pirates invaded, knowing that they could only have a base after completely occupying that place. That place was opened because of someone.

Those who had obeyed orders and gave up resistance eventually died in the battle to defend Nanjing.

Later, the field army, the Four Fields, was established, the most capable army.Of course, at this time, people actually immigrated from Shandong and made their way to Guandong.

But the Northeast is an evil place. Anyone can fight there. Generation after generation, one tribe after another, otherwise why would the Japanese, Jews, and Lao Maozi all want to occupy it?

Zhu Wentian knew it, but he couldn't tell the chief. He only introduced that as of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens were still guarding there.

The chief told Zhu Yuanzhang and others that at this point, when he thought about it carefully, something was indeed wrong. What was going on in that place where it was very cold in winter?

"Yes, we didn't realize it until you told us about it, Yichang. What's there? It's a plain, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang became serious. No one told him this, and he really couldn't understand it.

"Your Majesty, it's bitterly cold! There are plains, hills, lakes, mountains, and swamps. Winters are cold and summers are hot.

The people there can adapt to anything. No matter what race they were from, anyone who can survive there will be able to adapt to everything.

They can withstand all terrains and climates.Then they fought outwards, where there was no terrain or climate advantage.

We have to occupy it. The real occupation is not the fake one of making some kind of king or marquis. "

The chief said the most critical reason was that the Northeast where the Jurchens are located is hot in summer, with temperatures over 30 degrees above zero, and in winter, over 30 degrees below zero.

There are all kinds of terrains, and people are familiar with all-terrain and all-weather conditions.

If you get people from all over the Ming Dynasty and survive, it will be just as powerful.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "Wait a while, wait until we have settled down here, the winter over there is too cold and it is difficult to fight. If we hide in the mountains, the army will not be able to advance several miles in a day."

"Father, use sleds and snowboards. I used them at Helin's place. The Jurchens say they raise deer to pull sleds. We have a steam engine snowmobile."

Zhu Biao didn’t think it was that difficult, and the snowmobile changed everything.

"It's still stable there right now. Let's stabilize it first. Yunnan is the top priority. The Jurchens only produce one crop of grain a year. How much does Yunnan produce?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had his own plan. He did not want to fight on two fronts. Moreover, the Jurchens had nominally surrendered and were oppressed by the Yuan Dynasty. Now they hated the Yuan Dynasty even more, and they still had a good impression of the Ming Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty did not allow the Jurchens to mine, and the salt trade was limited. In other words, the Yuan Dynasty did not really fully occupy it, but only used force to deter it.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has opened a border trade market, and everything can be exchanged. It is not afraid of the rise of the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty has powerful weapons and strong logistics.
