Chapter 1099 Hanmeng's family
Li Zicheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the two thousand women sent by Gunchuk and Bandi, and with Liu Yunshui's capture, the Mongolian women concentrated in Daning Mansion were close to three thousand.
With 3,000 women in hand, you're sure to attract widowers in Kannai!
They are Mongolian women, basically don't know Chinese, but they are all young, and the north does not have the scorching sunshine of the south, and they are all white-skinned and drenched.
Li Zicheng felt that it was a pity, if it wasn't for attracting people to immigrate to Daning Mansion, but to bring them back to Jingshi to sell, it would be a lot of income.
Who says war can't create economic benefits?
However, nearly 3,000 women are concentrated in the Daning Mansion under construction, and the daily food is too large, and the most important thing is that in the future, they will marry the people who immigrated to Daning Mansion and cannot sell it for a price.
No, they must not be allowed to eat and drink for nothing!
They graze some cattle and sheep every day, which is much more comfortable than the soldiers, and even more comfortable than the previous days.
After thinking about it, Li Zicheng divided these women into three groups, one group for grazing, two groups to participate in the construction of the city, and one group was rotated every day, that is, these women, in a three-day cycle, built the city for two days and herded for one day.
Beijing finally came, and the first batch of four people, according to the opinions of Liang Wencheng and Song Xiance, they were candidates for the prefect, and as long as Li Zicheng agreed, they could take office.
Being an official outside the customs requires a lot of courage and responsibility, and it is also a contribution to the expansion of China's territory, Li Zicheng saw that the four of them were not very old, and the oldest was only forty, so he simply asked a few words, and did not investigate in detail, and directly retained them.
The most urgent thing now is to get the prefectures and counties outside the Guanxi into operation, according to the principles set by Huaxia, to naturalize the Mongols into Han Chinese as soon as possible, and at the same time turn to animal husbandry and settlement, and gradually confine the people to the land.
If you give up the nomadic life, there will be no need to herd horses!
Li Zicheng wanted to destroy the fighting power of the nomads as soon as possible, limit their ability to migrate, and even if they could not convert to farming, they should turn to animal husbandry and settlement, like the people of Wusizang.
Among the four people who came, Cheng Yaoru was appointed as the prefect of Daning and immediately took over the construction of the city wall; Zuo Shutong was appointed as the prefect of Raole and immediately went to work.
Ji Shankun was the oldest, and originally served in the Ministry of Personnel, and was appointed as the governor of the Hung Yen Governor's Office, vice provincial level.
There was still a middle-aged man named Ye Wenhui left, Li Zicheng thought about it, and couldn't appoint it for the time being, so he let him follow him and act as a temporary staff and clerk.
Li Zicheng handed over the construction of the city to Cheng Yaoru, and he took a regiment of personal soldiers, followed the pace of the first battalion, and rushed to the southeast.
He collected the cattle and sheep, and scolded in his mouth: "This Liu Yunshui, who only cares about charging and killing, can't take care of the cattle and sheep!"
After crossing the Qinglong River and entering the territory of the Karaqin Left Banner, a message came from ahead: the battle is over!
Li Zicheng did not feel relaxed, on the contrary, it really took time to resettle the Mongols who returned to Shun.
He first set up the eastern boundary for Daning Mansion: with the Laoha River and the Qinglong River as the boundary, until Shanhaiguan, and asked Ye Wenhui, who accompanied him, to record it and draw a simple sketch, and then came to the upper reaches of the Daling River where the Karaqin Left Banner is located.
Karaqin Left Banner and Tumut Department were originally nomadic in the Daling River Basin and Songling, the northeast is Yiwulu Mountain, the west is Nurur Tiger Mountain, the southwest is the border wall of Montenegro and Huaxia, belongs to Yanshan Mountain and the northern foothills, and the terrain is very complicated.
Li Zicheng summoned Liu Yunshui, Yang Kun, Ban Di, and Gunchuk, who participated in the battle at the Daling River.
The four of them kowtowed, Liu Yunshui and Yang Kun handed over all the captures, and Bandi and Gunchuk also handed over the captured women from each ministry to Li Zicheng.
"This time, the Zhuo Suo Tu League, which was able to conquer the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the four of them have made great contributions, and I thank you here!" Li Zicheng arched his hand to the four of them, "I have a lot of work!"
"This is a matter within the minister's share, and the minister does not dare to receive the credit!"
Bandi and Gonchuk also wanted to be humble, but they didn't know how to claim themselves, so they had to follow Liu Yunshui and Yang Kun, bowing their heads and vaguely past, although they submitted to Huaxia, but the emperor did not have an official and could not be regarded as a minister of Huaxia.
"Bandi, Gunchuk," Li Zicheng beckoned to the two of them and asked them to step forward, "You have lived in these places for a long time, are you familiar with the terrain here?" ”
"This ...... Back to the emperor, villains and others don't live here, and they are not familiar with this terrain......"
"Ao," Li Zicheng glanced at the two of them and said, "I heard that the place where Zhuo Suotu met with the alliance was broken by the two of you, you should have seen the local terrain, I have a marching map here, you can take a look, there is something inappropriate." ”
He took a map out of his bosom and spread it out on the ground for Bandi and Gonchuk to look at carefully.
Bandi and Gonchuk stared at each other, they were just rough people, how could they know how to collect maps? At that time, they were only concerned with killing, plundering the cattle and sheep, the goods, and the women of the Tumutes......
Li Zicheng's face was slightly disappointed, and he smiled reluctantly: "It is understandable that the two of them did not carefully inspect the terrain when they were marching and fighting!"
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Li Zicheng nodded slightly, and said: "The two of you led your troops to submit to Huaxia, and this battle is another meritorious service, and I can't treat you badly!"
The two of them looked happy, and they both pricked up their ears, lest they miss a word.
"However, before rewarding you, I hope you understand your future life," Li Zicheng said: "Xiaomi, tell them!"
"Obey the order!" He Xiaomi read the "Lefu Regulations" sorted out by Ye Wenhui, including the content of animal husbandry and settlement that had been added, and read it in its original form, lest the two of them not understand it, so he took the initiative to explain it again.
Li Zicheng saw that the faces of the two were cloudy, and the tunnel: "The two of you understand the way of life in the future?" ”
"The villain understands!"
"Actually, you don't have to be bitter," Li Zicheng said lightly: "The management method of Huaxia also has a lot of similarities with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, such as animal husbandry and settlement, and there is not much difference from now, it is still the current pasture, or these herdsmen, just for unnecessary friction and fighting, Huaxia divides the pasture into more detailed, more specific, and clear to the household, Huaxia has recognized your original pasture, which is already very rare, compared to the Karaqin and Tumut people......"
Ban Di hurriedly said: "The villain thanks the emperor's grace!"
Gonchuk hesitated for a moment, and said, "The villain thanked the emperor!"
"Actually, there is no need to thank me, these are your own correct choices," Li Zicheng said: "I will never forget those who have made meritorious contributions to China, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and faults will be punished, you have already seen the Karaqin and Tumut people, and you will see more soon." ”
“……”
"The Ao Han Banner is established as Baizhou County, and the Qiman Banner is established as Juyue County," Li Zicheng said: "The county and the flag are similar, the difference in the name is only, in fact, the name is also a title, and there is no difference in essence!"
“……”
"What you are more concerned about should be naturalized as Han Chinese, right?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "Using a Chinese name and speaking Chinese, at the beginning, I may be a little uncomfortable, but after a long time, I will get used to it," paused, and said: "Han and Mongolia were originally a family, but later there was a separation, and the language was separated, and now that you are back, return to the Han people, we will really become a family, and there will never be a massacre like Hauge, rest assured, our butcher's knife will always be against outsiders!"
Sweat stains faintly appeared on Bandi's face, and Gunchuk's face also changed, and the green tendons on his face trembled slightly, like a locust trying to shrink and thicken his body before marching, so as to accumulate strength.
"The Han and Mongolian families, no, there will be no more Mongolians in the future, the Mongolians have gone home," Li Zicheng said: "Only by becoming a family, will there be a family, and the taxes on the grassland in the future will be according to the tax rate in the Guannai, fifteen taxes and one, everyone is equal, only three percent of the Manchu Dynasty!"
Ban Di said: "What the emperor said is true? ”
Gonchuk hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, won't taxes be increased in the future?" ”
"If I say what I say, how can I go back on my word?" Li Zicheng said: "If you want to increase taxes, inside and outside the customs are also synchronized, it is absolutely impossible to add taxes to the outside of the customs alone, inside and outside the customs, it is originally a family!"
"Thank you, little man!"
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said: "In the future, if there is a black disaster or a white disaster on the grassland, Huaxia will lend a helping hand, and the herdsmen will definitely not starve to death.
"This ......," Bandi said cautiously, "however, the grassland is barren, and we don't have much to exchange for ......."
"Actually, if you want to be rich on the grassland, you have to obey the arrangements of the imperial court, and the imperial court will gradually make the grassland richer, and you can be on an equal footing with Guannai," Li Zicheng said: "However, it will take time, for now, what ......?"
Bandi hurriedly said, "How is it now?" ”
"Actually, it's not like you don't have something you can get your hands on!"
"War horses?"
"Yes, there are cattle and sheep, women, milk, jerky, fur, etc.," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I know that war horses are your life#root, but if you don't take out the best goods, how can you exchange them for the goods you need?" Exchange, the emphasis is on equivalence, can dead fish and rotten shrimp also be exchanged for the most urgently needed food? ”
“……”
"Actually, I have divided pastures for each herdsman, so there will be no nomadic herding in the future, and there will be no war, will war horses be as important to the grassland as before?" Li Zicheng said: "If there is a lack of war horses and necessary training, I will no longer recruit cavalry from you in public, and you can graze and accumulate wealth in peace, isn't it?" After a pause, Fang said: "I suggested, you might as well consider it, but you must remember that pies will not fall from the sky, and you can exchange your heart for people's hearts!"
“……”
"There is one last question," Li Zicheng continued, "You two have taken the initiative to submit to Huaxia and made meritorious contributions to Huaxia, I should reward you with an official position!"
