Historically, the Huang Taiji army chased and killed Lin Dan Khan, and after chasing to the naturalization city, the soldiers lost a fire in the naturalization city, and only a silver Buddha temple was left in the whole city without being destroyed.

However, because the Far East came to this era, Huang Taiji's three expeditions to Lin Dan Khan in history only happened once, so that the Naturalization City was completely preserved.

In this era, because of the arrival of the Far East, history has also undergone great changes, the Far East took advantage of the Emperor Taiji's invasion of the Ming Dynasty Liaodong emptiness, sent troops to wash the southern part of Liaoning, Liankegai Zhouwei, Tashanpu, Haizhouwei, Anshanyi and other places, to the Houjin regime to deal a heavy blow. Since then, the Houjin regime has never taken a step out of the customs, and of course has never entered the Monan grassland.

The situation on the Monan grassland, because there is no disturbance from Houjin, is basically dominated by the Lin Dan Khan family of the Chahar Department. Originally, the great war between the Ombu Chuhur of the Tumut Department and the Karaqin and other tribes and Lin Dan Khan did not happen, but chose to submit to Chahar. Therefore, Tumut did not move eastward.

Only some tribes moved to Chaoyang, Beipiao, and Fuxin to become nomadic and became the Eastern Tumut Department, but the scale cannot be compared with history at all. Already in the Far East, when the first campaign of the northward plan was launched, it was annihilated by the Far East in Liaoxi.

In 1634, Lin Dan suffered from a pox and died in Xilin Gol. Erke Kongol Ezhe of the Chahar Division, with the support of his mother Lin Dan Khan Fujin Sutai, became the new lord of Chahar Bu. However, Erke Konggol and Ezhe were unable to suppress the Chahar tribes, so that the Mongol tribes such as Tumut and Karaqin in Monan were once again separated from the rule of Chahar. Therefore, the Tumut Department has always been in charge of the Naturalization City, and its strength has not suffered much loss.

In the course of the second-stage campaign of the Beishang Plan, the Beishang Group Army captured a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, grain, furs, felt, gold, silver, jewelry, and other trophies. In this campaign, the grain and other crops captured in various parts of the steppe and Guihua City were captured. There are hundreds of thousands of stones.

There are also a lot of other trophies, the quantity and variety are so large that Li Ming and the others are astonished.

Doesn't it mean that the grasslands are all poor? The Mongolian right-wing in this steppe is too rich for Nyima. Even the nomadic Ordos Department in the set, although the scale of cattle, sheep and horses is not as large as that of the Nen Horqin Department. However, food, gold, silver and other materials are much richer than those of the Mongolian tribes in Lingnan.

Since Altan Khan controlled the Mongolian right-wing region, his strength has developed quite strongly, not only forcing the Chahar suzerainty Khan to Liaodong. In the 29th year of Jiajing, the soldiers came to the city of Beijing, threatening to pay tribute, which is known as the Gengxu Change. In the following year, the Ming Dynasty was forced to answer the prestige and opened the city of Xuanfu and Datong. The following year, the Ming Dynasty named me the king of Shunyi.

Later, it agreed on the terms of the mutual market of tribute, and successively opened 11 horse markets in Datong, Xuanfu, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu and other border areas to trade with each other. The number of people in the city has increased year by year. Since then, the situation of peace and friendship between Ming and Mongolia for several decades has begun, and the economic and cultural development of Mongolia's right-wing areas has been promoted.

Through the exchange of markets with the Ming Dynasty, the Tumut Department gained great wealth. The merchants, gentry officials, military leaders of the border passes, and even the princes of the Ming Dynasty in Datong, Xuanfu, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu and other places almost all had fornicated with the Mongolian tribes of the steppe, and the caravans traveled back and forth between the city and the steppe every year.

Because of decades of peace between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian right-wing departments, a large number of bankrupt soldiers and craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty crossed the Great Wall and opened up wasteland outside the mouth. So the Mongolian right-wing tribes of the northern steppes of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Ningxia. They are all very wealthy.

This is definitely a surprise for the Hetao base area. With these grains. The problem of eating in the early stage of the construction of the base area was basically solved, which made Li Ming and others excited.

In addition, the huge number of cattle, sheep and horses, felt and leather goods, and dried meat also made the family foundation of the Hetao base a lot thicker.

The Beishang Group Army also gathered 50,000 or 60,000 Han Chinese outside the mouth, all of whom were displaced people who had fled from the Great Wall to various parts of the grassland in recent years. These people were mainly bankrupt peasants, as well as fugitive military households, artisan households, fugitive slaves and criminals who had committed lawsuits. are all people who have no way to live in Daming.

There are also some Han people who were slaves in the grassland when the white plague occurred, and the Mongolian tribes hit the grass valley in the Ming Dynasty and plundered the slaves on the grassland. They are all miserable people, and they have suffered from old age and sins over the years. The Far Eastern Army also organized these Han Chinese into grassroots squadrons to participate in various infrastructure construction in the base areas.

These Han Chinese who made a living outside their mouths and Han Chinese slaves from various tribes of Southern Mongolia. The vast majority are skilled at riding horses. Especially those Han slaves who were plundered to the grassland, who took care of the cattle, sheep and horses all year round and night, were good at grazing.

There are also many Han people who were originally from the artisan households of the border army, because the life of the artisans in the border passes of the Ming Dynasty is very miserable, and there is no way to live at all, so many of the artisans in the border passes have fled to the mouth with their families in recent years, and all the departments of the grassland in the south of the country are willing to take in these artisans of the Ming Dynasty. These craftsmen will be trained in the Hetao base area in the future and will play a role in various important positions in the future base area.

The management committee of the Hetao base area first reorganized the Han people outside these mouths and organized ten detachments, including six agricultural detachments, one artisan household detachment, and three animal husbandry detachments. Li Ming also transferred a number of backbone noncommissioned officers from the reinforced field regiment and trained them for several days to teach them basic organizational discipline.

Lin Jinghua, a member of the Standing Committee in charge of the industrial infrastructure of the base area, has already taken the first step into the role. He and several employees of the company formed a base industrial group. Led a detachment of artisan households, with the support of officers and men of the engineering regiment, several engineering projects were developed in the Hetao area.

The industrial team first found an open-pit coal mine, a quarry and a forest farm in the mountains north of Guihua City, where nearly 10,000 Mongol captives were currently engaged in the most primitive methods of coal, logging and quarrying, and the production could not be achieved at all because of the lack of adequate equipment.

They also set up a brick factory and a soil cement workshop in the northern part of the city, which also used the soil method for production. In the northern mountainous area of Baotou, a small iron ore was also discovered, which belonged to magnetite and was of average grade. However, it is also sufficient to meet the current needs of the Hetao base area.

Most of the techniques of these clay workshops came from the time of the Great Leap Forward, but they were all reasonably improved by the company's technical department, and although the quality of the pig iron, coke and cement refined was average, they were able to temporarily solve the needs of the base area in the early stage of construction. After all, these earthen workshops have a short construction period, and they can produce products in ten days and half a month. (To be continued.) )
