Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 333
In the main hall of the Blackwater City camp.

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne, accompanied by civil and military officials and the five leaders of Moxi on both sides.

"Zuo Zhuan says: 'The most important thing in the country is to sacrifice and fight with the army.' This 'rong' refers to the use of troops to fight. Whenever the court raises troops to fight, it will involve mobilizing troops and people. The implications are huge, so we need to be careful."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

After everyone was seated, he looked at the five people from Moxi and said, "Are you really willing to let me uphold justice for you and uphold justice for you?"

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we and the five tribes of the Wala tribe have jointly sworn an oath to respectfully request the Ming Dynasty court to send troops to exterminate Tuohuan. We are also willing to contribute all the gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses as military pay for the court's attack on Tuohuan."

The second King Anle took out a document from Tuluba's arms, held it in his hands, bowed and made a hand gesture of presenting it, and at the same time said with great respect.

He is the eldest among the leaders of the five tribes, including the Turhut tribe, the Oyila tribe, the Duerbot tribe, the Heshuote tribe, and the Huite tribe. Therefore, the leaders of the other four tribes all recommended him to serve in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Xi Zhu Gaoxu reported his affairs.

Zhu Gaoxu took the document from Kang Ping, opened it, glanced at it quickly, and then solemnly said: "Since you are so determined, I promise you today that after Tu Huan is wiped out, all the land and people you lost will return to their own. host."

He is not stupid, of course he can see the thoughts of King Xianyi, King Anle and others.

After these five groups were defeated one by one by Tuo Huan, they lost their land and people. They were not far from the bare leader. Now there are not many gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses that can be taken out.

What's more, their entourage also costs money to eat and drink.

If they could exchange some property and livestock for the Ming Dynasty to annihilate Tuohuan, they would be able to recover the people and pastures plundered by Tuohuan in the future. Will they still worry about not being able to obtain gold, silver and jewelry?

But what they didn't know was that Zhu Gaoxu, Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty, did not intend to let them go back to Moxi.

To be precise, it should be to "tempt" them to stay in the "flowery world" of Blackwater City.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Emperor Daming!"

Tuluba and the other five people quickly stood up and saluted.

"You are not only the leaders of the Moxi grassland, but also the kings and commanders entrusted by me in the Ming Dynasty. Now that you have come to Heishui City, you will treat this place as your home. You can stay as long as you like. You don't want to go back to Moxi and settle down in the future. It’s okay here too.”

How could Zhu Gaoxu let go of the opportunity to "corrupt" the senior leaders of these grassland tribes? He immediately put on a warm and hospitable posture, looked at Tuluba and the other five people with emotion-filled eyes and said.

The five people in Moxi were all happy when they heard this.

Among them, Nieliehu, the second Xianyi King, was very happy because he was young and had no city. He had already begun to fantasize about the "corrupt life" after settling in Heishui City, which was known as "the south of the Yangtze River".

The reason why Heishui City is called "Heishui" is because the Heishui River flowed here a long time ago, forming an inland lake named Juyanhai.

Juyanhai was called Juyanze in the Han Dynasty and Juyanhai in the Tang Dynasty. It originated from the Heihe River deep in the Qilian Mountains.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent General Huo Qubing and his troops to drive away the Xiongnu. After that, they set up Juyanduwei, Juyannongduwei and Hequsi Tuntian garrison here.

This area has abundant water and grass, dense rivers and lakes, and dense forests. Long before the founding of Xixia, a large number of residents had been farming, herding, hunting, and thriving here.

After the founding of Xixia, in order to strengthen the management of this area and prevent the invasion of the Liao Kingdom and Mobei Mongolia from the east, two unified army divisions were mobilized to garrison Heishui City and the entire Juyan area, and a large number of people were moved to Heishui City. They settled in the area and allowed them to cultivate land and produce food in the area to meet the living needs of a large number of soldiers and civilians.

By the heyday of the Western Xia Dynasty, Heishui City was no longer a simple military castle, but gradually turned into a prosperous city with relatively developed economy and culture.

At that time, Heishui City was full of official offices, residences, shops, inns, Buddhist temples, and various workshops for printing Buddhist scriptures and making tools, creating a prosperous scene.

This situation lasted for nearly 200 years, until the rise of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the fall of Xixia.

Since Heishui City was an important transportation hub from Mobei to the mainland, the Mongolian and Yuan rulers not only re-expanded the city, set up the General Administration Office of Yiji Nai Road here, but also sent a large number of troops to garrison in Heishui City.

Many people also moved here from various places to develop agricultural and animal husbandry production together with the local people, and dug canals to cultivate fields. After decades of struggle, they successively cultivated nearly [-] acres of farmland.

Unfortunately, during the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a terrifying sandstorm that occurred once in a thousand years destroyed most of the city and turned many surrounding oases into deserts.

Coupled with the chaos and wars that broke out in the world at that time, the once prosperous Heishui City gradually turned into an abandoned city.

However, more than 40 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a new oasis evolved around Juyanhai.

In the early Yongle period, Zhu Di set up seven fortresses in northern Xinjiang, one of which was Yijinaicheng.

After that, the Ming Dynasty made great efforts to build a new city on the edge of the ruins, with a width of 500 meters from east to west and a length of 200 meters from north to south.This newly built city not only increased the urban area, but also strengthened its defense capabilities.

The city wall is ten meters high. There are twelve horse roads in the city. There are two east and west city gates about ten meters wide. An urn is built outside the city gate. Horse faces and horse faces are also built on the outside of the four walls. Corners and other enemy-defending buildings.

Now, after more than ten years of development, the city's prosperity is comparable to that of Jiangnan towns.

At this time, the urban area of ​​Heishui City was divided into markets, government offices, banks, inns, schools, temples and other areas, as well as residential areas for common people, officials and soldiers, as well as a neat network of east and west streets and north-south streets and alleys that led directly to the city gate. street.

Both sides of the street are covered with various shops, including restaurants, hotels, inns, banks, car dealerships, grocery stores, clothing and silk stores, saddlery workshops, etc. There are also horse markets, firewood markets, and mutual markets for the exchange of agricultural and animal husbandry products. Place.

There are even flower houses open openly on the street, as well as private gambling rooms, private prostitutes and other entertainment venues in secret places!

The city is not only very prosperous within the city, but also has residential areas where people are concentrated and bustling markets in the suburbs outside the city.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs last year, there were more than 3 people living in Heishui City and its suburbs for a long time.

It can be said that the reputation of Blackwater City as "the fortress in the south of the Yangtze River" is not a lie.

"Your Majesty, we are natives of the grasslands after all. It would be good to stay in Heishui City for a while. If we stay for a long time, I am afraid we will make the local people and businessmen unhappy!"

King Anle quickly said to Tuluba in an "interesting" way.

He didn't mean that he was unwilling, but that it was not a problem for the five of them to live in Heishui City of Ming Dynasty for a long time as "guests from the grassland". After all, they had no status!

"I know where your concerns lie."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly at first, and then comforted the five people: "The so-called name is not correct, and the words are not correct. I already have an idea about this."

He looked at Li Jinglong, the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who was sitting in the first place on the lower left, and said, "Dong Cao Guo?"

"The minister is here."

Li Jinglong stood up and bowed.

"According to my decree, from now on, King Xianyi and King Anle will enjoy the treatment of Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, and the other three commanders will enjoy the treatment of Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, all leaders of the Moxi Grassland Tribe who have taken refuge in Heishui City will enjoy the treatment of the Counts of the Ming Dynasty. , settle the residence properly in Heishui City, and pay the monthly payment as usual, without any neglect."

Zhu Gaoxu ordered loudly.

"The minister leads the order."

Li Jinglong bowed and accepted the order.

"I look forward to thanking His Majesty the Ming Emperor for his grace!"

King Anle quickly bowed and thanked Tuluba and others.

Seeing that the five leaders of Moxi were very happy, Zhu Gaoxu laughed and stood up.

He put his left hand on his back, walked ten steps away in front of the five leaders, and said slowly: "We fight with money. Although our Ming Dynasty has sufficient food and salary, after all, the more the better. Just now you said you were willing to provide me with military salary. I decided to pay for the beauty of adulthood." Pay this military salary."

When the five leaders of Moxi heard this, their faces did not change much.

After all, they had already made plans to give away money.

But then, Zhu Gaoxu changed the topic and said: "However, this military salary is considered as a loan from me to you. After I eliminate Tuohuan, I will pay you back all of it."

When the five leaders of Moxi heard this, they were all very happy.

The Xianyi King Nielie was suddenly so excited that he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

He was worried just now that he would not have much money for fun when he settled in Blackwater City, but now that His Majesty the Ming Emperor had shown mercy and "distributed wealth", he immediately beamed with joy.

Seeing this, the other four people had no choice but to follow Nie Liehu and knelt down one after another to bow down and thank His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
