Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 795 Longyan Joy

  More than 10,000 people.

   Still Tatars.

  Come to attach?

  Looking at the scrawny Tatar, Jiang Chen was in a daze for a moment.

   But soon, he cheered up.

  If this is the case, doesn't it mean that in the future...there will be no Tartar disaster?

   These guys have no cattle, horses, or anything. It is not easy to settle them down.

  But... once settled, this land in the west of Hexi will be full of manpower.

   Now is the time when people need to work hard.

  Jiang Chen glanced at King Su's scouts around him, but the scouts didn't dare to make up their minds.

  But Jiang Chen already had an idea in his mind.

  The Tatars are unruly and rebellious. Letting them graze is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

   But now, it is very different.

  With potatoes and sweet potatoes, Hexi and even the desert have enough grain production. This barren land can still feed countless people, so the first problem is to let the Tatars settle down.

  The nomadic Tatars are difficult to effectively manage, because they wander around with their cattle and horses. Once they break away from you one day, they can immediately flee into the desert with their own property and turn against you from then on.

But once they settle down, no matter whether they are allowed to dig mines or cultivate land, they stay on the land safely and securely, even if they want to rebel, they can't leave. Without cattle and sheep, they enter the desert to eat What, all the property is on the land, and if you leave these land properties, you really have nothing.

  Even if they rebel in debt.

   But the Tatars who have lost their riding and shooting instincts, even if they build a high wall, Daming only needs a horse, mobilizing artillery, and launching a few flying **** to make it disappear.

  Hexi...there is a lack of people now, and you are the only ones.

Jiang Chen looked around and said, "When you enter this place, you are not allowed to bring swords and arrows, and all bows and arrows must be handed in. If not, the Lanzhou army will attack at any time. After arriving here, we will distribute food so that you can settle down , since this is the order of His Royal Highness, you can rest assured."

  As soon as he heard the word prince, the Tatar shuddered subconsciously.

  The name of the prince of the Ming Dynasty has already spread throughout the grasslands.

  The Tatar Khan died, and was directly beheaded by the prince. The prince was like a hungry wolf, wandering around the grassland at will, killing everywhere... The Tatars tasted precariousness for the first time.

  The Tatars believe in the strong. Since the prince is stronger, even though the prince was holding a butcher knife to show off his might, the Tatars obeyed.

This is like Genghis Khan, when he ruled the desert and killed how many people from other tribes, the original desert was by no means monolithic, but it was through Temujin's killing that all the tribes were frightened. Tiemuzhen was loyal, formed the prototype of Mongolia, and was proud of Tiemuzhen.

  The Tatars seemed to be very cooperative, and they obediently began to camp.

   After Jiang Chen confirmed that they had no evil intentions, he ordered people to bring food.

These Tatars were all starving and dizzy. As soon as they saw the food, they gorged themselves. When they were full, Jiang Chen summoned the Tatar leaders to get acquainted with them first. The land will be reclaimed, and young Tatars will be recruited to mine in the mountains.

  The Tatars are very satisfied with any arrangement. They are at the end of the road. They only think that they will starve to death or freeze to death. This winter is absolutely impossible to survive.

   And now that they have a way to survive, losing the Tatar Khan is more important to them than anything else.

Naturally, grazing is also necessary. Jiang Chen still provided some cattle and sheep. However, this nomadic herd has become a captive livestock. The herdsmen also need to settle here. Here in Hexi, the demand for meat is also huge. After all Miners earn money and need to eat more meat to replenish their strength.

   After a few days, more Tatars came here one after another. In this desert, almost half of the food, cattle and horses died. Most of the tribes could not resist this cold winter at all.

  And many tribes are worried that the Ming cavalry will take the opportunity to raid the desert.

  Looking at the hungry women and children, thinking that heavy snow is about to fall one after another, and at that time, winter has become a luxury, and the Tatars... it seems that there is only one way to survive.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen is here. After all, Jiang Chen is a scholar. When he came to Hexi, he organized people to mine and cultivate. He has rich experience. What's more, he did a lot of coal mining and farming in Xishan. A batch came, and hundreds of school lieutenants came to Tuntian Qianhu Office, and began to settle in various places. With the help of these people, things went very smoothly.

  …

   An urgent report was urgently sent to the palace.

  Emperor Hongzhi is in a good mood recently.

  Now people all over the city are saying that he has a good son and a good son-in-law, and there is a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.

   This is not what the ministers said in front of him.

   It was from the factory guard, who personally inquired from the streets and alleys.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of red, and there was light on his face. People, more or less have vanity.

  My son-in-law is just a little too loyal, but everything else...is fine.

  The construction of the new palace has already begun. It is said that tens of thousands of craftsmen and laborers started construction at the same time. The scale is very large. The foundation alone and the artificial canal dug around it occupy a thousand acres of land. Sure enough, the scale is no less than that of the Forbidden City.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt very sorry, so he ordered the Ministry of Industry to urgently transfer a group of craftsmen, more than a thousand households. With these craftsmen who have the ability to build royal gardens, things will go more smoothly.

  At this time, Emperor Hongzhi received the urgent report sent by Xiao Jing, looked down for a moment, and suddenly... joy flashed across his eyes.

   "Sure enough, the words of Jifan and Houzhao were hit again." Emperor Hongzhi beamed with joy.

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi, wanting to ask something.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Hurry up, call the ministers into the palace, and call the prince and the captain."

  Because the Jinshen Hall was still being repaired, Emperor Hongzhi summoned his ministers in the warm pavilion.

  Liu Jian and everyone, I don't know what happened, but I was summoned by His Majesty and came here in a hurry.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan drove here from the vicinity of Longquan Temple, and both of them smell like mud stars.

   These two guys went to the Xingong, holding the blueprints, and vigorously deliberating on some details of the Xingong.

  Zhu Houzhao obviously had a strong interest in Franji.

The Franji who were captured were taken captive, and a few Franji were assigned to be by his side. These Franji could use charcoal to draw very fine drawings. As a result, many Xishan students also began to learn this kind of drawing Graphical method.

  This kind of drawing is more intuitive and simple.

  By the way, Zhu Houzhao is still learning Franji, and it is said that he is learning French, the most noble language in Franji, and all dignitaries can speak a few words.

  Zhu Houzhao is full of mouth now: "It's better to drink. Lao Fang, have you eaten yet? It's better to drink, Lao Fang..."

  Fang Jifan frowned when he heard this, feeling his head was big.

  According to Fang Jifan's understanding of Zhu Houzhao, this guy... learning any language may be the beginning of the tragedy of the other party's civilization, such as the poor Tatar.

This half-baked French still has a Fengyang accent, and even Zhu Houzhao had someone sew a Franji shirt on purpose. He stood for a whole day holding a sword yesterday, letting that Franji The painter paints for him.

   This is called a photo.

This Franji man, originally the priest of Franji, was going to the new world with the ship, who knew that he was robbed by someone, and after being sent to Daming, he worked in the dock for two years before being sent here again In the new palace, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty was very interested in all aspects of Franji's language, literature and art, the priest immediately took off his Hanfu and quickly changed into a teaching Robe, as the Western advisor of His Highness the Crown Prince, he very much hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince, who has made great achievements but loves foreign cultures, can learn the civilization of Frangji. After that, he will become friendly to Frangji, and even... allow Frangji To do business with it, of course he did not forget to spread religion.

  The task of preaching is very difficult. His Royal Highness has too many farts. Tell him about God, and he can ask countless questions that are difficult to answer.

   "Why did Jesus' mother have a son in her dream? I haven't heard of such a thing."

   "Did his mother steal someone behind John's back?"

   "The Great Flood...why didn't the water be cured?"

   "In Noah's Ark, did you put a tiger on it? What would the tiger eat? Aren't you afraid of cannibalism?"

   "..." The priest looked confused, and in the end he had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, you just need to believe."

Zhu Houzhao whistled and said in jerky French, "I believe in myself, my father is the son of the heavenly emperor. Unexpectedly, someone in Francois would dare to pretend to be the son of the emperor of heaven. Doesn't this mean that he is the emperor's uncle of the palace?" ? He's so brave."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to mourn for the poor Franz priest, and then looked up at the sky.

  …

   After the two arrived at the warm pavilion, they excitedly greeted Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed. Seeing that all the ministers had arrived, he just held the report in his hand and raised his voice: "Happy news, good news. Tatars poured into Datong and Hexi Zhubian towns, young and strong, old and weak, all gathered The number of people requesting enclave has reached 70,000, and the number is still increasing. The prince and Fang Qing's family said that the Tatars will be completely obedient. There is still some suspicion, but now it seems that it is really the case."

  After hearing this, Liu Jian and others were taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

   Means a lot, it definitely means a lot.

When Emperor Taizu Gao was dying, he issued a will, saying that the trouble of Ming Dynasty lies in the north. Only the barbarians in the north can shake Ming Dynasty. This is a warning to the future generations not to waste the national power in other places, and they need to be alert to the barbarians in the north.
