Long An lay in the humble infirmary, looking at the other Tatars who were working, and felt very resentful and aggrieved in his heart.He didn't expect that his fellow people would be so weak, just because if he refused, he would be punished by the Ming army, and accept Yi Fa Yi.Long An also regretted a little because of this, he found that even if he objected, it was useless, and he couldn't change the result of being forcibly turned into a king by the Ming army.But Long An had to admit that in addition to forcibly assimilating them and forcing them to work, the Ming army was still very concerned about his life and gave them plenty of food.Because he found that even if he was sentenced to palace punishment for opposing Yi Fa Yi Yi, the medical staff still took good care of him, and would still give him medicine, and even specially cooked mutton soup and chicken soup, so that his injuries recovered quickly.The same is true of the other Tatars, who, after digging the mines, will have enough potatoes and sweet potatoes to eat, and even meat every other day.Dalei also found that if these Tatars didn't care about the hair accessories, clothing, language, and writing that belonged to their own race, they would not be so bad as prisoners of the Ming army, just work every day, and then eat, and most importantly, there was still a salary, which could be spent in the mining area, and even a brick house with a lower rent for themselves to live in, which was much warmer than sleeping in a tent before, except for the lack of women and wine, as if it was no worse than the previous aristocratic life.Nadron, who belonged to ordinary Tatars, not Tatar nobles, felt that it was better to be a prisoner of the Ming army than before.He is simply happy with his current life, because in the past, as an ordinary Tatar, he was equivalent to a slave of the nobles, with no private property, and basically he could not eat or dress warmly, but now they can obtain their own property through their own labor, and they are well fed and warmly dressed, which makes them feel that it is good to be a prisoner of the Ming army."
Knowing this, my brother should not have confronted the Ming army at that time, but knelt on the ground like me and surrendered, and it was not much better to return to the Southern Dynasty than before."
Nadron thus sneered in his heart.Moreover, because the ordinary Mongolians of this era also lacked knowledge, and their awareness of the country and the nation was also insufficient, and they were even inferior to the Han people, so when Qi Biaojia organized these people according to Zhu Youxiao's will, gave these people night classes, and let them accept the education that they were also Chinese, it was very easy for them to accept, plus some material and spiritual rewards, it was even easier for ordinary Mongolians like Nadron to receive these assimilation education.Therefore, most of these captives did not feel that they were being forced to work at all, but were happy one by one, as if they had obtained a new life and were rescued by the Ming army.......In addition, the official explanation given by the Ming Dynasty for forcibly making them easy to obey is to let them get rid of ignorance, move towards civilization, and live a more free life like people, so even Tatar nobles like Dalei began to feel that they were being reformed and receiving a more civilized education, and felt that their previous management of ordinary Tatars by these nobles was indeed backward and cruel.Of course, Daming did this, from beginning to end, not in essence, as missionary, to transform them and rescue them, but to make full use of their labor force, create more value, and solve human needs.After all, what the Ming Dynasty needs more now is the value created by their labor, rather than their heads.The Ming Dynasty's social structure changed, resulting in a more civilized way of treating captives than other regimes.As a result, coal mines began to be mined one after another.Coal excavated from the mine is continuously transported to the outside of the forest through the skidway.The women and children of the captives were responsible for picking up the stones mixed in and carrying the coal to the warehouse.It didn't take long for a lot of coal to accumulate in the warehouse.So much so that Qi Biaojia has begun to report to the imperial court for funds to build additional warehouses and recruit more migrant workers, because so many coal mines need to be better stored and transported as soon as possible.To this end, the Ming court has begun to recruit migrant workers to Daning, and plans to build a city in Daning, where residences, schools, hospitals, etc., so that the people can be willing to settle in Daning, and then work, and then make Daning an effective ruling area of the Ming Dynasty.......
"Qi Qi Great Khan, our sentinel found that the Ming army returned to the Mantaoer area soon after withdrawing to Jizhou, and even camped in the village, which has the meaning of permanent residence, and there have been Ming court officials to organize people to build a city on the site of the original Daningwei, and many Han people began to settle in Daning one after another, and even merchants began to open shops in that area. ”Jinong Nao Da Mao reported to Lin Dan Khan the latest situation of the Ming army's actions here.Lin Dan Khan was naturally stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Feng Quan: "What is the Ming Kingdom going to do, the Ming army in the past raided my Tatar rear, but it will not come to build a city outside the fortress, one is to do this in vain to consume money and food, and the other is that not many Han people are willing to move here, and now not only come back to stay, but also build a city, and sure enough, there are Han people who have migrated to live, do you understand, why is this?"
”Feng Quan also wrinkled his eyebrows and thought hard, and thought for a while: "Although the Ming Dynasty has promoted all kinds of cold-resistant crops in the north, it is not enough to look down on these too cold places outside the Saiwai to reclaim the wasteland, even if the reclamation comes out, the gains outweigh the losses, otherwise the Great Khans have long been like Altan Khan when he re-established Bancang (nomadic farming village), and now that I think about it, I can come here to build a city, it will only be because of mining or something, they must have found minerals in Daning, either coal or iron, the Great Khan does not know, now the Ming State every year coal, The demand for iron and other ores is rising year by year, and the Ming Kingdom can now make so many displaced people survive, that is, a large number of factories are set up in various factories, and the most needed of these factories is coal and iron. ”Lin Dan Khan felt a little uneasy after hearing this, and said, "But they are taking away our pasture land by doing this!"
Today is just a Daning, but if it continues like this, our grassland will be occupied by his Daming, such a Daming is far more terrible than the previous Daming, the previous Daming just didn't want us to take them captive, but now they seem to have an attempt to take away our territory!
”Feng Quan said very positively: "The Great Khan's worries are not unreasonable, but according to the experience of the slave Ming State as an official for many years, what the Ming Kingdom needs most today is actually not coal and iron ore. ”"What is it?"
Lin Dan Khan asked.Feng Quan smiled viciously: "People!
Especially the Han Chinese!
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been trying to use various methods to increase the number of Han people, during his tenure as the governor of the southeast, he asked the minister to crack down on the phenomenon of abandoned infants and infanticide in the southeast, and often emphasized that the most lacking after the Ming Dynasty is the population, according to their meaning, the population brings labor, and consumption, because a large part of the income of the current Ming court depends on the official industry, and these all need people to consume. ”"Since he needs people the most in the Ming Kingdom, then Ben Khan will kill all his people!"
Lin Danhan gritted his teeth and said
