Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Yao Guangxiao said that Zhu Xuan and Chen Bing were naturalized, which was very likely to be mysterious.

Han Jun believed that what Yao Guangxiao said was very reasonable, but he did not dare to be careless. There should be no lack of preparations and precautions must be taken to deal with all adverse factors.

Therefore, he still had to recruit troops and food.

If Zhu Xuan can break in, he will have enough countermeasures if he is prepared now.

If we don't invade, we won't lose anything by recruiting troops and food. We can also help the pseudo-Ming court to gather a large amount of military food, which seems to be a good thing.

This order was passed down, and all the soldiers in the entire Pseudo-Ming Dynasty moved quickly, going to various tribes and cities, and no matter what, they forcibly brought back all the people and food.

There are also many people who used the name of the Ming army to go north and reaped a lot of benefits during the food requisition.

There is a bit of panic within the entire pseudo-Ming Dynasty.

Those Mobei herdsmen felt a little unhappy when they saw their sheep being forcibly taken away.

Even if you feel unhappy, you can't resist.

They were not sure whether the Ming army would come, but the hypocritical officials and soldiers gave them a feeling of being more terrifying and greedy than the Ming army.

Haribalu is a very ordinary herdsman on the Mobei grassland. He raises thirty-two sheep at home. The family's livelihood depends entirely on those sheep. I have heard that if their sheep are taken to Guihua City in Daming and sold, they can be sold. Earn a lot of money and you can buy a lot of food and salt.

However, the place where he lives is relatively far away from naturalization.

It would be troublesome to get him to be naturalized, and the only option would be to sell the sheep to other merchants.

It is said that the merchants in their grasslands collect sheep from various places in the grassland at low prices, then bring them to be naturalized and sell them at high prices, making a lot of money.

"I'm jealous!"

Haribalu is envious, but he has no conditions.

There is only envy.

Zhu Yuanzhang intended to control the spread of potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two high-yielding crops have not yet flowed into the grassland after so many years.

Yao Guangxiao and Han Jun knew that these things were very productive.

But they only planted some in Helin to raise their army.

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. Ordinary herdsmen still have no access to these seeds and have little information. They generally don’t know much and rely entirely on sheep and some simple crops to make a living.

"Haribalu."

At this time, a little leader came over.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen pseudo-soldiers, all with prairie faces.

"My lords, what's the matter?"

Haribalu asked curiously.

Before the little leader could speak, an officer among the soldiers glanced at him and said: "According to the law, one of your family members needs to serve in the military. Now the Ming Dynasty in the south is going to war against our Ming Dynasty in the north. There will be a war soon." , you must come and serve.”

"Is there a war?"

Haribalu was a little surprised.

It is true that they have relatively little information and many things are unclear.

He also couldn't understand why the Ming Dynasty was doing business well in Guihua, so why was it suddenly about to attack?
This kind of important matter for the family and the country is not something that an ordinary herdsman like him can understand.

But fighting means killing people.

Especially against Daming.

Haribalu panicked and didn't really want to fight, but he couldn't refuse.

"besides……"

The officer glanced inside, and when he saw the sheep, a touch of greed flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Tomorrow morning, you wait here, I will take you to the military camp, and you, these sheep, we all Requisitioned.”

"what?"

To serve in the military, Haribalu had no other objections and complied.

If the grain is collected and his sheep are taken away, as long as not all of them are taken away, he can actually forget about it.

Now that I want them all, I cannot accept them.

"Sir, I have a daughter at home who has just started to walk, and a son who is still breastfeeding."

"You have taken away all my sheep. How can we live?"

"Can you not take them all away?" Haribalu begged.

The officer snorted, not even leaving a sheep for him, and said in a low voice: "Now the Ming Dynasty in the south is going to attack. Our army is short of food. You are not even willing to give us sheep now. When the Ming army goes north, If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, no matter how many sheep you have, they will still die, and it is not enough for the Ming army to snatch them."

"We requisition your sheep to protect our country and protect all of you."

"Do you really think that we are greedy for your sheep?"

"absurd!"

This officer expressed his dirty thoughts very confidently and uprightly.

In fact, it is just for greed.

This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, and now he is very comfortable in doing it, extremely skilled.

Haribalu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Tomorrow, remember to be ready!"

After the officer finished speaking, he turned and left.

He also wants to rob other herdsmen's sheep.

This was a rare opportunity to reap benefits, how could they be willing to let it go?

"How to do?"

The wife came out of the tent.

She heard everything that happened outside, and also heard their conversation.

I can't help but feel worried.

Haribalu gritted his teeth and said: "Since that Beiming appeared, our life has been getting worse day by day. The people here have been squeezing us, alas!"

Even if he was squeezed, he had no other choice.

The sheep at home must be given away, otherwise they will rob them.

However, if you give it away, your wife and children may starve to death.

How to do?
"How about we go naturalize?"

The wife suggested: "I have heard from many businessmen who come to our place that the Ming Dynasty officials there are willing to accept our submission. As long as we go there, they can share food and pasture. It sounds very good."

Haribalu shook his head and said, "No, it's so far away. How can we get there? I'm afraid we'll be discovered by those damn officers before we leave. Not only will we not be able to escape, but we may all die."

This won't work, and that won't work.

My wife was so anxious that she almost cried.

At this time, the child's cry came.

She had to go back and coax.

Hearing the cries, Haribalu, who was already upset, became even more confused.

Do you want to run away overnight tonight to become a naturalized person and submit to the Ming Dynasty?
He has also heard many businessmen say that the lives of those herdsmen who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were so nourishing.

There is no need to worry about food, which is attractive enough.

But these ideas are very unrealistic. You can see many soldiers guarding nearby, and they will definitely be unable to leave.

Near this tribe, many herdsmen were exploited and cheated by the officers. They suddenly complained, but they did not dare to resist. They could only cooperate with the officers' oppression and gave away their belongings, and their sheep were also robbed.

the next morning.

After Haribalu got up, he was about to gather the sheep.

But before he could take action, the officer from yesterday arrived.

"Take them all away!"

The officer said with a smile.

Not only did he recruit soldiers, but he also reaped benefits and made a lot of money!

at the same time.

Outside, three hundred cavalry came, approaching here. (End of chapter)
