Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun attached great importance to the resettlement of the Wugu tribe, because he wanted to use this as a pilot to open up a new path.

If you want to develop Liaodong, whether you start with economy, politics or military, agriculture is the most important foundation, which cannot be ignored.If Liaodong is turned into a large pasture, it will not be able to feed so many people. Although due to the weather and rainfall, the agricultural development in the north is not as good as that in the south, but the harvest of one mu of land is still much higher than the size of one mu of land. The cattle and sheep that can be raised on the turf provide food for humans.

Furthermore, Liaodong is an undeveloped land. As long as agriculture develops, with the construction of water conservancy facilities and the exploration and research of crops that are more suitable for the northern climate, the agricultural harvest will still be much higher than it is now. It has become the main source of food for the people in the north.

However, people have a strong sense of dependence and trust on the inherent production mode. If you want to force a freeman to give up his familiar and trusted production mode and take care of a job that he is completely unfamiliar with, most of the resistance will be is unimaginable.But these captives are not the case. They are the confiscated goods of the war. Originally, the only way out was to be degraded as slaves. Now Xia Xun has registered them as citizens, and told them to put down their whips and horse poles to support the plow and the hoe. Learning to farm is better than being a slave?So using them as a pilot is perfect.

Once the Ugu tribes are separated, organized into households, resettled, and successfully cultivated, not only can we explore a way to speed up the integration of nomads and farming peoples, but also for those who guard even a piece of barren pasture Cattle and sheep can barely make ends meet, and herdsmen who are still unwilling or dare not take the risk to try farming will be the most convincing reason for them to change.You don't need to go there at that time, and they are afraid that the examples are there, and they will voluntarily give up their backward production methods.

At the same time, the people of the Wugu tribe have made arrangements, which can also attract more tribes to join, and this kind of surrender will no longer be based on political significance, and it will no longer be a ready-made success model just to add luster to the emperor. There, while we accept them, we also need to use advanced production methods and living civilizations to allow them to fully integrate into us.

When those nomadic nomads who have worked hard but can’t fill their stomachs can settle down, they don’t have to travel around or rob houses like desperadoes, and they can eat, clothe, and live a stable life, and they will become more herdsmen yearning, pursuit of goals.They are also herdsmen, if you can do it, of course he can, and people will flock here spontaneously.

Therefore, Xia Xun attached great importance to this matter. He personally presided over this matter. The more than 1 people will be dispersed on a family basis, where they will be resettled, what necessary production tools will be provided, and where the farmers will be Assist them to complete the process of reclamation and planting, what means are used to ensure that these people who are familiar with farming are willing to be teachers of these herdsmen, and how to ensure the livelihood of these herdsmen before the agricultural output...

In this way, every time he encounters a problem, Xia Xun must convene his staff, brainstorm and discuss, come up with a proper solution, draw up detailed operating regulations, and every decree must be executed, supervised, and There is a special fund support, so the criminal and engineering departments have also gone out independently one after another, and began to recruit and expand.

The establishment of administrative yamen has gradually become an urgent local need...

In this busyness, Fan Cha appeared in front of Xia Xun again.

This time, Fancha's arrogance was gone, and he humbly told Xia Xun the difficulties their tribe encountered, emphasizing again and again that his brother was in a very dangerous situation, and if he couldn't leave the shoe target people in time It is very likely that he will become the scapegoat of Wo Chijin Tuha, and will be executed by the enraged Grand Master Alutai.

Only then did Xia Xun understand the real reason why Meng Ge Tie Mu'er could not wait to go to "Guangming". He thought about it for a long time. He welcomes Meng Ge Tie Mu'er's refuge, but what he wants is profit. It would be a pity to only bring one of Mengge's tribes to the maximum. Ten enemies with sharp swords and spears are not as harmful as one enemy hidden among your comrades. Why not let Mengge play more big role?

According to the information he has, after the split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Alutai, and the nobles of the Oala tribe who dominated western Mongolia became the real rulers of the two countries after the split. Neither of them belonged to the Golden Family, so they each supported a The descendants of the Jin family acted as puppets and continued to fight for territory and population.

Since Oala is located in the west of Mongolia, the area directly bordering Ming Dynasty is extremely small, and the bordering area is also the poorest and backward area of ​​Ming Dynasty, the desolate west. Therefore, before Oala conquers the light target, there is a possibility of large-scale conflict with Daming Not much, so the current main enemy of Ming Dynasty and the most direct threat to Liaodong is still the shoe target.

If Liaodong can defeat the Wanhu Mansion where Wochijin Tuha, the closest to itself, is located, and greatly weaken its military strength, the shoe target will not have the power to deploy enough troops from other places to supplement it, because the current threat to them The biggest one is not Daming, but Oala, so that Liaodong can enter a period of peace for a long time and focus on growing itself.During this period of time, Liaodong can use tile thorns to restrain the shoe target and solve its own problems first. When the Liaoche operation is monolithic and it is in the hands of Daming, the threat from the grassland will not be a problem.

In view of this strategic goal, Mengge Tiemuer, who has already decided to take refuge in Ming Dynasty and currently belongs to the shoe target camp, will be of great use. If he can give full play to the usefulness of "anti-bones", the Liao army and the Ming army can be compared A small price, relatively greater benefits, there will be tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers, and there is no need to bury their bones in the grassland for this.

Thinking of this, Xia Xun's determination became firm again, and he said to Fancha: "What you want to do, you still have to do it. If you do it, it's a great achievement. After your tribe comes over, the governor will not Treat someone who has meritorious deeds. As for Brother Ling's situation, I already understand it, come on, let's discuss it and see how we can rescue your elder brother from the siege."

Fancha stayed in Xia Xun's Governor's Mansion for a full day, and only left quietly at dusk. In the next few days, Fancha came and went repeatedly and had frequent contact with Xia Xun. Finally, one evening, Xia Xun quietly left the Governor's Mansion and went to the eight Tiger way.On the grassland outside the pass, a team of dozens of people also came quietly. Xia Xun and Meng Ge Tie Mu'er secretly met at the pass of the Eight Tigers Road.

There are very few people who know about this meeting, but when Xia Xun returned to Kaiyuan City, he already had an extra copy in his sleeve of a "schedule" signed and signed by Meng Ge Tie Mu'er. It seems... a certain agreement has been made Achieved.

The number of people in the prisoner-of-war camps where the Wugu tribe was housed is decreasing day by day, and those who have been taken away are taken away one by one, and they will be resettled to various places in Liaodong.They have all compiled household registers and become common people in Liaodong. Now their new status has changed from herdsmen of the Wugu tribe to tenants in Liaodong.

Yes, for the time being they are tenants.

Xia Xun had places to house them, and some wasteland for them to reclaim, but Xia Xun had no one in his hands to teach these nomads who could only herd horses and sheep, kill people and set fires to farm.Xia Xun needed a crop master to teach these herdsmen who knew nothing about farming how to handle the crops, but how to mobilize the farmers was a big problem.

Official?impossible!reward?I don't have that spare money!What's more, even if you are appointed as an official and rewarded with money, he may not be willing to do things for you with his heart.Therefore, Xia Xun came up with a way to make Liaodong farmers willing to help these herdsmen, that is: let these Wugu tribe herdsmen become tenants of those Liaodong farmers who are willing to accept them, and the tenants themselves will open up wasteland of.

Of course, this is a limited-term tenant. The time starts from reclamation. Within ten years, the peasant families who are willing to help these herdsmen complete the role transition from herdsman to farmer will sign a contract. Within ten years, these farmers will become these newly cultivated land. The temporary owners of the wasteland, and those herders will become their tenants, and ten years later, the land ownership will return to these Ugu tribe herders.

As soon as this policy was promulgated, the herdsmen of the Wugu tribe immediately became a hot commodity. The farmers in Liaodong robbed people. They snatched these herdsmen back, and then took the initiative to help these herdsmen build houses, reclaim wasteland, and teach them How to rake and ridge the land, how to raise seedlings and plant, how to weed and apply brain... Every step and every link, the farmers in Liaodong actively think ahead. All farming knowledge is passed on to these shepherds who only know how to wield a big knife and a whip. You must know that the sooner these herdsmen become proficient at handling the crops, the faster and more they will be happy.

But for these herdsmen, they scattered, registered households, and went deep into the interior of Liaodong. Even if they wanted to escape with their families, they couldn't escape. People who have no fixed place and their homes all over the world, when they see the benefits of farming with their own eyes, what will they miss?Will you still be nostalgic for the wandering life of migrating to water and grass?

Ten years later, this land will be theirs, and this temptation is enough to keep them firmly tied there.

Afterwards, for their own land and crops, they will treat all intruders as enemies!

But there are still a small number of people who have not been allocated, because no farmers are willing to claim these people.

Among the remaining people, some of them were all young and strong in the family who had died in battle, leaving only the old, weak, women and children or the disabled. No one wanted these people.Others are women who have lost their families.Although most of these Mongolian women are physically strong and good at doing things, they are all very diligent and capable women, but the Han people in Liaodong still instinctively think that women are weak, so it is better to choose a family with young and strong laborers. It is more appropriate to be a "one-to-one, one-to-one red" person.

So these women are still staying in the captive camps. Some people who want to buy serfs have their idea after hearing about it, and want to buy female slaves, but Xia Xun flatly refused. He planned to wait for the imperial court's reward. Therefore, these girls who lost their husbands or were not yet married were betrothed to those single meritorious generals and let them form families.

In this way, these women have a home, and those soldiers can take root in Liaodong with more peace of mind. This is also the first step in national integration.These female prisoners didn't know about Xia Xun's plan. They only saw the clansmen being taken away one by one, and they were left to wait there silently, waiting for the arrangement of fate.

This morning, a few officers and soldiers suddenly came to the prison camp, and a Jurchen with a pointed hat and leather robe picked and picked the women in the prison camp, selected four women, and drove them in a Lele cart left.

Along the way, the Jurchen and several Han officers and soldiers talked and laughed loudly. Most of the four Mongolian women in the car could only understand some simple Chinese vocabulary, so they paid no attention to the conversations of these people, but there was a woman among them. Listen very carefully.Her dress is much more gorgeous than that of ordinary Mongolian women. The vest shoulders are embroidered with bright flowers and colorful sequins. This was originally worn by concubines in the court of the Yuan Dynasty. It was later spread among the people, but only Humph, only powerful people can afford it.

Lele's car is not spacious, and the four women can only squeeze together, but the other three women would rather be more crowded, and give her a relatively spacious space. There is no doubt that this is a place in the Wugu tribe. A woman of high status.Although the Wugu tribe no longer exists, these tribes still have an instinctive awe of her that they dare not offend.

She is Wuyun, the wife of Hadanbaatar, the leader of the Wugu tribe, and the daughter of Dorzataiji. She is from the upper class of Mongolia and speaks Chinese fluently.From the conversation of the Ming army, she knew that she was bought by the Jurchen to be a female slave, and the Jurchen's home was on the mountain outside the Eight Tigers Road.She also heard those Ming soldiers boasting proudly that they bribed the herdsmen of which tribe last time, so they appeared in the Wugu tribe without anyone noticing, and then they will attack somewhere else.

"Eight Tiger Road! Eight Tiger Road is the outermost pass between Liaodong and Xie Target, and the head of the Jurchen lives on the mountain outside the Eight Tiger Road. If I can grab a horse after I go out, I will If I can escape to Mengge Timur's tribe, let him send someone to send me back to my father's tribe!"

Thinking of this, Wu Yun's heart jumped...
