Chapter 795: Longyan Joy
More than 10,000 people.
Still a Tatar.
Come and stay with me?
Looking at the skinny Tatar, Jiang Chen was in a daze.
But soon, he cheered up.
If so, wouldn’t it mean that in the future... there will be no disaster for Tatars?
These guys have no cows and horses and nothing, so it is not easy to place them.
But... Once resettled, the land in Hexi will be full of manpower.
Now it's time for someone to sell their energy.
Jiang Chen glanced at the scouts of King Su beside him, and the scouts did not dare to make any decisions.
But Jiang Chen had an idea in his heart.
The Tatars were unruly and letting them graze was like letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
But now, it's very different.
With potatoes and sweet potatoes, Hexi and even the desert have enough grain production, and this barren land can still feed countless people. Therefore, the primary problem is to let the Tatars settle down.
It is difficult for nomadic Tatars to manage effectively because they wander around with cattle and horses. Once one day they are disloyal from you, they can immediately take their own property and escape into the desert, and then become enemies with you.
But once they settled, whether they were allowed to mine or cultivate them, they stayed safely on the land, even if they wanted to rebel, they could not leave. Without cattle and sheep, what should they eat when they entered the desert? All the property was on the land. If they were separated from these land property, they would have nothing.
Even if they rebel against debts.
But even if the Tatars who had lost their instinct to ride and shoot, even if they built high walls, the Ming Dynasty only needed a military horse, mobilized artillery, and put a few flying balls to make it disappear.
Hexi... I'm short of people now, so you are the only ones.
Jiang Chen looked around and said, "You must not bring swords and swords when you enter this place, and all bows and arrows must be handed over. Otherwise, the army in Lanzhou will be able to fight at any time. After arriving here, we will distribute food to settle you down. This is the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you can rest assured."
As soon as he heard the word "Crown Prince", the Tatars subconsciously shivered.
The name of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty has long been spread throughout the grassland.
The Tatar Khan died and was directly killed by the prince. The prince was like a hungry wolf, appearing at will on the grassland and killing everywhere... The Tatars tasted the taste of being in danger for the first time.
The Tatars believed in the strong. Since the prince was stronger, although the prince was holding a butcher's knife and showing off his power, the Tatars obeyed.
This is like Genghis Khan. When the desert was unified, many people were killed by other tribes. The desert at that time was definitely not a single piece, but it was Temujin's killing that made all tribes frightened. In the end, it was them who all served all their loyalty to Temujin, forming the prototype of Mongolia, and were proud of Temujin.
The Tatars seemed very cooperative and they began to camp obediently.
After Jiang Chen confirmed that they had no evil intentions, he ordered people to send food.
These Tatars were all hungry. When they saw the food, they feasted. After they had enough food, Jiang Chen summoned the Tatars' heads to try to get familiar with them. Next, they needed to demarcate land for them, and then recruit young Tatars to go into the mountains to mine.
The Tatars were very satisfied with any arrangement. They were at the end of their journey and thought they were going to starve to death and freeze to death. This winter would never be able to survive.
And now that there is a way out and the loss of the Tatar Khan is more important than anything else to them.
Of course, grazing is also necessary. Jiang Chen still provided some cattle and sheep. However, this nomadic person has become a captive livestock, and the herders also need to settle down here. Here in Hexi, there is also a huge demand for meat. After all, miners earn money and need to eat more meat to replenish their energy.
After a few days, Tatars came here one after another. In the desert, almost half of the food, cattle and horses died, and most tribes could not resist this cold winter.
Moreover, many tribes were worried that the Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty would take the opportunity to sweep the desert.
Looking at the hungry women and children, thinking that the heavy snow was about to fall, and by then, winter became a luxury, and the Tatars... it seemed that there was 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 reclaim. He has rich experience. Moreover, when he was in Xishan, he had a lot of coal mining and military farming. In addition, a group of miners from Xishan were transferred, and hundreds of lieutenants came to the military farming office and began to settle in various places. With the assistance of these people, things went very smoothly.
…………
An urgent report was sent to the palace.
Emperor Hongzhi has been in a good mood recently.
Now everyone in the city is saying that they have a good son and a good son-in-law, and there are many discussions on the streets and alleys.
This is not what the ministers said in their own face.
But the factory guards came from the streets and alleys in person.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of redness and his face was shining. As for people, they were more or less vanity.
My son-in-law is just a little too loyal, and the others are all very good.
Construction of the new palace has begun. It is said that tens of thousands of craftsmen and laborers have started construction at the same time. The scale is very large. The foundation alone and the artificial canal dug on the periphery occupy a thousand acres of land. Sure enough, the scale is no less than that of the Forbidden City.
Emperor Hongzhi felt sorry for it, so he ordered the Ministry of Works to urgently drop a group of craftsmen, including more than a thousand households. With these craftsmen who built royal gardens, things went even smoother.
Emperor Hongzhi received the urgent report from Xiao Jing, lowered his head, and only looked at it for a moment, and joy suddenly flashed through his eyes.
"Sure enough, the two boys Jifan and Houzhao were so serious." Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi and wanted to ask what he wanted to ask.
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Hurry, call the ministers into the palace and call the prince and the commander."
Because the Jinshen Hall was still being repaired, Emperor Hongzhi summoned his ministers in the warm pavilion.
Liu Jian and others didn't know what had happened, but were summoned by His Majesty and rushed to the scene.
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan came from near Longquan Temple, and both of them had a mud star smell.
These two guys ran to the New Palace, holding the drawings, and scrutinizing some details of the New Palace in full spirit.
Zhu Houzhao obviously developed a strong interest in Franji.
The captured Franchise captured a few of them by his side. These Franchise men were able to draw very fine drawings with charcoal pens. So many Western students also began to learn these methods of drawing graphics.
This kind of drawing is more intuitive and simple.
By the way, Zhu Houzhao is still learning Franji language. It is said that what he learns is French, Franji mainland, the most noble language. All the nobles can say a few words. Zhu Houzhao is now full of mouth: "It's better to drink. Lao Fang, have you eaten? It's better to drink, Lao Fang..."
Fang Jifan felt that he was too big.
According to Fang Jifan's understanding of Zhu Houzhao, this guy... learns any language, it may be the beginning of the other party's civilization tragedy, such as the poor Tatars.
This half-baked French language also has a Fengyang accent. Zhu Houzhao even deliberately sewed a Franchise shirt. Yesterday, he held a sword and stood for a whole day, asking the Franchise painter to paint for himself.
This is called photo.
This Franji man was originally the priest of Franji. He was on the boat to the New World. Who knew that he was robbed and sent to the Ming Dynasty. After he was sent to the dock for two years, he immediately sent to the New Palace and met His Royal Highness the Prince.
When he saw that the Prince of Ming Dynasty was extremely interested in Franji's language and literature, he immediately took off his Hanfu like a chicken blood, quickly changed into a robe, and acted as a Western consultant to His Royal Highness. He hoped that the Prince of Ming, who had outstanding achievements but loved foreign cultures, would learn Franji's civilization. From then on, he became friendly to Franji, and even... allowed Franji to trade with him. Of course, he did not forget to spread religion.
But the missionary task is very difficult. His Royal Highness has too many things to do. Tell you about God, he can ask countless indescribable questions.
"Why did Jesus have a son in his dream? I have never heard of this."
"Did he steal someone with his fucking back on John?"
"The flood...why don't it control the water?"
"Did you put tigers on Noah's ark? What should you eat when you go up? Are you not afraid of eating people?"
"..." The priest was confused and finally said, "Your Highness just need to believe it."
Zhu Houzhao whistled and said in a harsh manner: "I believe in myself. My father is the son of heaven. I never thought that there was someone in Franji who dared to be the son of the Emperor of Heaven. Isn't this saying that he is the emperor's uncle of this palace? He is so brave."
“…”
Fang Jifan observed a moment of silence for the poor Francis Priest, and just looked up at the sky.
…………
The two of them excitedly greeted Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi was very happy. Seeing that the ministers had arrived, he just held the report in his hand and raised it: "Good news, good news. The Tatars flocked to Datong, and the border towns in Hexi, and the young and old were gathered. They all requested to be attached. The people in the border towns in various places have reached 70,000, and the number of people is still increasing. The prince and Fang Qing family are confident that the Tatars will completely obey. I am still a little suspicious. Now it seems that this is true."
After hearing this, Liu Jian and others were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed.
It means extraordinary, it is absolutely extraordinary.
When Emperor Taizu Gao was dying, he issued a decree saying that the trouble of the Ming Dynasty lies in the north. That is to say, whether it is the Japanese pirates in the sea or the Western countries, these cannot shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. The only ones that can shake the Ming Dynasty were the Hu people in the north. This is a warning to future generations not to waste their national strength in other places. They need to be strong and guard against the Hu people in the north.
