"Your Majesty, Jizhou has reported that Ma Shilong and others have raided Mantao, and escorted a large number of Tatar captives and captured war horses back to Jizhou, the specific number of prisoners and the number of war horses are already above, please take a look."
Capital.Xiong Tingbi handed the transcript presented by the governor of Jiliao Wang Zaijin to Zhu Youxiao.After Zhu Youxiao took it and looked at it, he said: "The Tatars may think that we are just capturing some of their prisoners and finishing, but what they don't know is that this is just the beginning of our territory, and the next thing we need to do is to use this group of prisoners to open mines in the area of Yuanbaoshan in Daningwei, first of all, to use these prisoners as miners, so that they can change from herdsmen to workers, so that the coal mines in the area of Yuanbaoshan can be used by the imperial court as soon as possible." ”"This is to be grasped, because now the climate is colder than all dynasties, the world is already short of coal, and now the steam engine is used, and the lack of coal is more serious than the lack of gold!
Therefore, opening new coal mines early can also solve the problem of coal shortage one day earlier. ”Yuan Keli took over the words at this time and added."
In addition to mining, there is also the matter of increasing the official road, fortunately, between Jizhou and Jingshi, it is already accessible in all directions, and the official road has already been widened, and now it is only necessary to build an official road from Daning to Jizhou, so that the prisoners are still a little insufficient, and we have to recruit more people from the vicinity."
Xu Guangqi said at this time."
But now there is a shortage of migrant workers in the Jingshi area, Caoyun will use a large number of Cao workers, and all kinds of manufacturing workshops between Tianjin and Beijing also need a large number of migrant apprentices, but the population in the Jingshi area is not very large, at least not as good as Jiangnan, so at present, it can only be recruited from the southern labor-rich places, otherwise, it will have to increase wages!"
Bi Ziyan said at this time."
Then recruit in the place where the labor is rich in the south!
Anyway, there is no road guidance system, and the conscription has been abolished, so that the people in the places where the labor is rich but there are not many construction projects can come to Beijing to make money in these places with many construction projects, in addition, since the prisoners are not enough, then catch more prisoners, in my opinion, you can increase the reward for capturing a prisoner a little more, so that the soldiers who fight can kill less and catch more alive, and even reduce the killing of good and meritorious work, after all, what the imperial court needs most now is labor, and the salary does not cost a lot of labor, as far as I know, Now the wages required to use the local migrant workers in Beijing are not inferior to the price of hiring a shopkeeper in the store, which shows that my own people are becoming more and more valuable, and in this case, we should use more prisoners and capture more prisoners, so that it is beneficial to the community. ”Zhu Youxiao said and said: "But these captives have to be managed well, as the saying goes, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, what we need is their labor, but we don't need their different civilizations from us, as well as the ideas of different countries and nations from each other, which requires us to assimilate them, so that they can imperceptibly forget that they are slaves of the golden family, and only identify themselves as the descendants of the Chinese migrating to the grassland, and the Han people and other clans of the Ming Dynasty are of the same language and species, and then realize the complete assimilation of the Tatars!"
Therefore, it is necessary to change the previous way of dealing with the Tatars, change the way of recruiting and appeasing the Tatar aristocracy, in order to rescue and assimilate the ordinary Tatars who were oppressed and enslaved by their nobles, and win over the Tatar nobles who were centered on the Ming Dynasty, and strongly suppress the reactionary and stubborn Tatar aristocracy, so as to unite the majority and suppress the small number.
The first batch of Tatar captives who were brought back were sent to work in the Yuanbaoshan Coal Mine to strengthen their assimilation work, and the young concentrated requirements were to learn Chinese characters, learn Chinese dialect, and wear Hanfu, and the subjects they studied were first set as national literature, history, and general knowledge, and use the literature, history, and general knowledge textbooks specially compiled by the Hanlin Academy, so that they knew that I was the savior who rescued them, and that they needed to submit to the Ming Dynasty and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and then completely eliminate all slave owners who tried to prevent them from submitting to the Ming Dynasty and becoming free people.
As for the elderly, after the end of labor, they gather at night to learn Chinese, and ask for Hanfu, and those who do not obey will be cut off from their roots, so that they will be tired and dying!
”"Yes!"
Yuan Keli replied.…… Zhu Youxiao and his courtiers had already arranged for the appointment of the corresponding officials of the Daning Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, as well as the officials responsible for the development of the Yuanbaoshan Coal Mine.And Qi Biaojia served as a member of the Mining Department of the Ministry of Industry as a member of the Imperial History of Daning, and supervised the business of Yuanbaoshan Coal Mine.Soon after Zhu Youxiao issued such an edict to the ministers in the political hall, Qi Biaojia also received such an edict here, and made specific preparations in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's edict.Ma Shilong and a group of Mongols who returned from captivity also sent troops by Wang Zaijin, the governor of Jiliao, to Daning Qi Biaojia.At this time, Qi Biaojia began to arrange for these captives to open mines.The Mongol captives were quite numerous, and many of them were nobles from the Chahar tribe.Because Ma Shilong and others sent troops to attack Lin Dan Khan's sweat tent before, and the nobles of the Chahar Department naturally concentrated in his sweat tent.Taiji Longan was one of the captured Chahar nobles."
What is the Ming army going to do, why did they escort us to this barren mountain and wilderness, instead of entering Beijing to sacrifice prisoners, Ling Chi executed or beheaded for public display?"
Long An was surprised at this time because he was escorted to Daning Yuanbao Mountain, and said to Taiji, who was called Dalei next to him.Darley replied, "Could it be that we are going to be buried alive here?"
”When Long An heard Dalei say this, he became more and more uneasy, and said: "It's only hateful, we are all handcuffed now, otherwise, we should really run out immediately." ”"Get on your knees!"
Before these captives were asked to open mines, Qi Biaojia first ordered that all these captives kneel down.Long An and the others naturally didn't dare to disobey, so they knelt down."
Easy to get dressed!"
Then, Qi Biaojia gave a new order.A group of soldiers who had already been prepared began to appear in front of these captives, one of whom stood in front of a captive, and began to untie his braided hair, re-tie it into a bun, close it at the top, and then wrap it with strips of cloth, and directly transform his hair ornament into the hair ornament of the Ming and Han people of this era.Many of the captives were puzzled and uneasy, and asked why.At this time, Long An asked, "What are you doing, why are you changing our hair accessories!"
”But what Long An didn't expect was that next, they were asked to stand up, and then they were forcibly cut off their clothes and changed into Hanfu.Long An thus understood: "You are making us easy to obey, you are making us betray our ancestors, you might as well kill us directly!"
”But not long after Long An shouted loudly, he was pressed to the ground on his back by two officers and soldiers who came by, and his hands were choked.Then, two more officers and soldiers came over and grabbed his legs.Long An didn't know what they were trying to do, but Ah An struggled.At this time, a medical soldier came and brought a first-aid kit made of a wooden box, and squatted in front of Long An, opened the first aid kit, first stuffed a cloth ball into Long An's mouth, and then took out a knife, and put the knife on the fire and burned it.It didn't take long for this Long An to scream.At the same time, an interpreter outside shouted: "Anyone who refuses is unwilling to accept the king, and there is no need to continue the heirs, and they will all be punished by the palace!"
”Dare, who was about to oppose the easy to be subdued like Long An, suddenly fell silent.
