Chapter 257 The Anti-Water Tribe

Chu Yun also has a little selfishness. After all, in Liaodong and southern Liaoning, the living standards of the people directly under the Fu Liao army are much higher than those under the surrounding forces. The more people newly joined the Fu Liao army, Chu Yun will have to take care of them and need poverty alleviation! This is also one of the reasons why Chu Yun has been reluctant to take action against the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Chu Yun took over the Ming Dynasty with a population of hundreds of millions at once, his industry at the beginning would not be able to support these huge populations that were hungry. By then, Chu Yun would probably be in a state of anxiety for several years. Sometimes Chu Yun was helpless about the blind fertility of farming civilization. Maybe the land could not support so many people, and a large number of newborns were born, and then war and famine eliminated a large number of people and continued. It would be fine if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, for example, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who died of hunger every year.

"Zaisang, didn't your Korqin tribe incorporated into the Restoration of Liao Army? What do you think?" The leaders of nomadic tribes in the central and western regions asked the Korqin tribe that had been incorporated into the Restoration of Liao Army.

Originally, they resisted the merger of the Liao army, but because of Chu Yun's dislike, they became timid. Our Mongolian warriors are the most brave warriors on the grassland. How many forces do not want to get allegiance to our Mongolian cavalry?

"How should we say... Our family's power in the tribe may have been so great in the past, and the grazing pastures are also limited to a certain range..." Zaisang said.

"This is indeed a trap for the Restoration Army. They are too cunning and want us to hand over power obediently."

"I'll just say that the Liao army wants to limit our grazing range, just to fix it. Once we violate his will, we will have nowhere to escape."

Some tribal leaders and nobles shouted after hearing what Zaisang said.

"I haven't finished it all. It's true that we gave up some things, but we also gained a lot of benefits. Our family lost jurisdiction, but had a place in the army. The Liao army provided our family's children with the opportunity to receive education in their Academy of Sciences, and also provided us with residences in Liaodong, not to mention medical resources, silk, tea, iron, coal and some scarce resources on the grassland."

"As for fixed pastoral areas, there are good and bad things. The good thing is that the Fu Liao Army established a breeding farm and a large ranch to improve the types of cattle and sheep. It is said that it is to improve the yield and meat quality of cattle and sheep. I am not afraid to tell you that the people from their Agriculture Bureau are still breeding and improving war horses. They want to cultivate new war horses that are better than our Mongolian horses. Not only are they taller, but they also have the endurance of our Mongolian horses. Once the breeding is successful, hum."

"Speaking of this, there are many magical things in Liaodong and southern Liaoning. Have you ever seen steel carriages that can run by themselves and have a hundred meters long? There are also toilet buckets that discharge feces underground and can make silk textile machines by themselves..." Zaisang talked about his experiences in Liaodong and southern Liaoning, as he knew them all.

"A steel carriage that is 100 meters long? Are there such strong horses?"

The rest of the Mongolian nobles and leaders expressed their disbelief.

"You don't know it now. This is called a train. It is not pulled by war horses, but can run forever by eating coal. A train is equivalent to hundreds of carriages. "Although you don't understand it, Zaisang said proudly, "If you are lucky enough to go to Liaonan to take a look, you will be impressed by them. It is a world completely different from our prairie, a world of coal and steel."

A group of Mongolian nobles and leaders were shocked by Zaisang's words. It seemed that the real strength of the Fu Liao army was not only reflected in artillery, but more terrifying was the industrial foundation that supported this army in long-distance combat, such as what Zaisang said was called a train.

"It seems that I have to go to southern Liaoning in person and take a look in Liaodong." The Ertian minister of the Ordos tribe murmured to himself.

Other nobles and leaders also had their own plans in mind, most of whom had a yearning for Liaodong and Liaonan, wanting to get a glimpse of the truth.

The Great Prairie Conference was actually a meeting held by Chu Yun to establish a new grassland order, which attracted almost all tribes on the Inner Mongolia grassland. In addition to the leaders of the relatively large Ordos tribe who came in person, Chu Yun was a little surprised, the arrival of several tribes also surprised him.

It’s not because the arrival of these tribes is very important to Chu Yun, but these tribes are a bit special. When the Later Jin rises, they do not want to surrender to the Later Jin, and instead rely on several tribes of the Ming army in Ningyuan in western Liaoning. The population is 100,000.

These tribes also have thousands of Mongolian cavalry serving in the Ming army in Ningyuan. Now is the prairie meeting held by the Fu Liao army, and their arrival is very intriguing.

So Chu Yun met them alone after the conference.

"Are you dependent on several tribes of the imperial court? Why do you also come to attend the prairie meeting?" Chu Yun asked.

Several Mongolian tribes looked at each other and said embarrassedly: "We heard that the Prairie Conference convened almost all Mongolian tribes. If we want the Mongolian tribe to rejuvenate again, we should come here to participate as part of the Mongolian tribe."

"Ahem, it's not just that simple reason, right? I know that you were forced by the Jurchens when you went south to rely on Ningyuan's army, and they were not willing to do so." Chu Yun could easily detect their intentions, "If you are willing to lead your tribe members back to the grassland, I will arrange a new ranch for you. In exchange, your tribe members may no longer be able to serve in Ningyuan's army."

"Be serious about this? Can we return to the prairie?" said the people from these Mongolian tribes in surprise.

"That's right. You are now serving the Ningyuan army. Every battle is full of life and death. You will be charged in battle. The young men in the tribe are killed or injured. It is different to return to the prairie. You can engage in animal husbandry production and do the job you want to do. If you want to join the army, we are welcome. If you don't join the army, there are many warriors from Mongolian tribes that may become cavalry, so that more than half of the young men in a tribe will be killed or injured. How about it?" Chu Yun threw out an olive branch.

You can return to the grassland without being conscripted for military service, and enjoy free trade and other treaties agreed in the grassland agreement. This is not as beautiful as this.

"I would like to ask the military master to give us some time. I believe that our tribe members will be very happy to return to the grassland. The vast grassland is the home of our warriors." said people from these tribes.

"Okay, our Liao army welcomes you to join at any time." Chu Yun said.
