Xia Xun attached great importance to the resettlement of the Wugu tribe because he wanted to use it as a pilot to open a new path.
If you want to develop Liaodong, whether you start with economy, politics or military, agriculture is the most important foundation and cannot be ignored. If Liaodong is turned into a large pasture, it will not be able to feed so many people. Of course, due to the weather
Due to factors such as rainfall, agricultural development in the north is not as good as in the south, but the harvest from one acre of land is still much higher than the food that can be raised by cattle and sheep on one acre of turf to provide human food.
Furthermore, Liaodong is an undeveloped land. As long as agriculture develops, with the construction of water conservancy facilities and the exploration and research of crops that are more suitable for the northern climate, agricultural harvests will be much higher than now. Agriculture will surely
It has become the main source of food for the people in the north.
However, people have a strong sense of dependence and trust on the inherent production model. If you want to force a free citizen to give up the production model he is familiar with and trusts to handle a job that is completely unfamiliar to him, the resistance will be difficult.
It is imaginary. But these captives are not the case. They are the captured objects of the war. Originally, the only way out was to be relegated to slaves. Now Xia Xun has made them into households and asked them to put down their shepherd's whips and horse poles to help people.
Learning to farm with plows and hoes is better than being a slave, right? So it’s perfect to use them as a pilot.
Once the Ugu tribe is dispersed, organized into households, resettled, and engaged in farming, it will not only be possible to explore a path to accelerate the integration of nomadic peoples and farming peoples, but also for those who guard even a piece of barren pasture.
Cattle and sheep can only make a living, and the herdsmen who are still unwilling or dare not take the risk to try farming will be the most convincing reason for them to change. You don't need to go there, now you are afraid that the examples will be there, and they will give up on their own initiative.
own backward production methods.
At the same time, the arrangement of these Ugu people can also attract more tribes to join, and this kind of joining will no longer be mainly of political significance, no longer just to add luster to the emperors and generals, a ready-made successful model
There, while we accept them, we must also use advanced production methods and living civilization to completely integrate them into us.
When those herdsmen who have been working hard as nomads but cannot fill their bellies can settle down and can have enough food, clothing and clothing and live a stable life without having to travel around and rob homes like desperadoes, they will become more herdsmen.
The goals we yearn for and pursue are all herdsmen. If you can do it, of course he can do it, and people will automatically and spontaneously flock to you.
Therefore, Xia Xun attached great importance to this matter. He personally presided over this matter. All the more than 10,000 people were to be dispersed in family units. Where should they be resettled? What necessary production tools should be provided? Where should the farmers
Assist them to complete the process of reclamation and planting, use what means to ensure that these people who are familiar with farming are willing to be the teachers of these herdsmen, and how to ensure the livelihood of these herdsmen before agricultural output...
In this way, every time he encounters a problem, Xia Xun must summon his staff to brainstorm, come up with appropriate solutions, and draw up detailed operating regulations. Every decree issued must be implemented and supervised by someone.
There were special funds allocated, so the Criminal Department and the Engineering Department also became independent one after another and began to recruit troops and expand.
The establishment of administrative offices has gradually become an urgent local need...

In the midst of this busyness, Fancha appeared in front of Xia Xun again.
This time, Fancha's arrogance disappeared. He humbly told Xia Xun about the difficulties their tribe was encountering, and repeatedly emphasized that his brother was currently in a very dangerous situation. If he could not leave the Tatar forces in time,
Scope, it is very likely that he will become the scapegoat of Or Chijin Tuha and will be executed by the angry Grand Master Arutai.
Only then did Xia Xun understand the real reason why Mengge Timur couldn't wait to defect to the "Light". He thought about it carefully for a long time. He very much welcomed Mengge Timur's defection, but what he wanted was profit.
It would be a pity to only bring over one of Meng Ge's tribes. Ten enemies with bright swords and clear guns are not as harmful as one enemy hidden among your comrades. Why not let Meng Ge play more
Big effect?
According to the information he had, after the split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, General Arutai of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the nobles of the Oara tribe who dominated the western part of the country became the real leaders of the two countries after the split. Neither of them were from the Golden Family, so they supported each other.
He took a descendant of the Golden Family as a puppet and continued to fight for territory and population.
Since Oara is located in the west of Japan, the area directly bordering the Ming Dynasty is very small, and the border area is also the poorest and backward area of the Ming Dynasty, the desolate west. Therefore, before Oara conquers the Tatars, there is a possibility of large-scale conflict with the Ming Dynasty.
Not big, so the current main enemy of the Ming Dynasty and the most direct threat to Liaodong is still the Tatars.
If Liaodong can defeat the Wanhu Mansion where Ochijin Tuha is closest to itself and greatly weaken its military strength, the Tatars will not have the strength to mobilize enough troops from other places to supplement them because of the current threat to them.
The biggest one was not the Ming Dynasty, but Oara. In this way, Liaodong could enter a period of peace for a long time and focus on managing and growing itself.
During this period, Liaodong could use Oara to contain the Tatars and solve its own problems first. When Liaodong's operations were solid and firmly under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the threat from the grasslands would not be a problem.
In view of this strategic purpose, Mengge Timur, who has decided to join the Ming Dynasty and currently belongs to the Tatar camp, will be of great use. If he can give full play to the role of the "anti-bone boy", the Liao army and the Ming army will be relatively
At a small cost, relatively greater benefits can be obtained, and tens of thousands of Liaodong soldiers will not have to bury their bones in the grassland for this purpose.
Thinking of this, Xia Xun's determination became firm again, and he said to Fancha: "You should continue to do what you are asked to do. If it is done, it will be a great achievement. When your tribe comes over, this governor will not
Treating those who have meritorious service unfairly. As for your elder brother’s situation, I already understand it. Come, let’s discuss it and see how to rescue your eldest brother!”
Fancha stayed in Xia Xun's Governor's Mansion for a full day and left quietly at dusk. In the following days, Fancha went back and forth repeatedly and had frequent contact with Xia Xun. Finally, one evening, Xia Xun quietly left the Governor's Mansion and rushed to the Eighth Route Army.
Tiger Road. On the grassland outside the pass, a team of dozens of people also arrived quietly. Xia Xun and Meng Ge Timur met secretly at the Eight Tiger Road pass.
Very few people knew about this meeting, but when Xia Xun returned to Kaiyuan City, he already had a "compliance form" signed by Mengge Timur in his sleeve. It seemed like... an agreement.
It has been achieved.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the prisoner-of-war camp where the people of the Ugu tribe were placed, the number of people was decreasing day by day. The people who were taken away were taken away one by one. They will be placed in various places in Liaodong. They have all been registered.
They became common people in Liaodong, and their new identity has now changed from herdsmen of the Wugu tribe to tenants in Liaodong.
Yes, for the time being they are tenants.
Xia Xun had a place to house them, and some wasteland for them to cultivate, but Xia Xun had no one to teach these nomads who only knew how to herd horses and sheep and kill people and set fires to farm. Xia Xun needed a crop handle to help them tend the crops.
These methods are taught to these herdsmen who know nothing about farming, but how to mobilize the farmers is a big problem.
Official appointment? Impossible! Rewards? No spare money! What’s more, even if you are granted an official position and are rewarded with money, he may not be willing to do things for you. So, Xia Xun came up with a way to make Liaodong farmers willing to help these herdsmen.
, that is: let these Ugu tribe herders become tenants of farmers in Liaodong who are willing to accept them, and the land will be reclaimed by the tenants themselves.
Of course, these are tenants with a limited time limit. The time starts from the reclamation of wasteland. Within ten years, the peasant families who are willing to help these herdsmen complete the role transformation from herdsmen to farmers will sign a contract. Within ten years, these farmers will become the newly reclaimed land.
The temporary owners of the wasteland, and those herders will become their tenants. After ten years, the land ownership will return to the hands of these Ugu tribe herders.
As soon as this policy was promulgated, the herdsmen of the Ugu tribe immediately became a hot commodity. The farmers in Liaodong fought hard to snatch the herdsmen back. Then they took the initiative to help these herdsmen build houses, reclaim wasteland, and teach them.
How to harrow the ground, how to raise seedlings and plant, how to weed and fertilize...
Every step, every link, the farmers in Liaodong are actively thinking ahead. They try their best and wish that within one day, they can teach all the farming knowledge they know to these shepherds who only know how to wield a machete and whip.
, you must know that the sooner these herdsmen become experienced hands and experts in handling crops, the faster and more they will benefit.
For these herdsmen, they dispersed, organized into households, and went deep into the interior of Liaodong. They and their families could not escape even if they wanted to. Even if they were still a little wild, after a few years of tending to the crops, their thoughts faded away.
People who have no fixed abode and are at home all over the world, when they see the benefits of farming with their own eyes, what else will they miss? Will they still miss the wandering life of moving around for water and grass?
In ten years this land will be theirs, and this temptation is enough to keep them firmly tied there.
After that, they will treat all intruders as enemies for their own land and crops!
But there are still a small number of people who have not been allocated because no farmers are willing to claim them.
Among the remaining people, some of them have all the young men and women in their families killed in the war, leaving only the old, weak, women, children, or disabled people. No one wants these people. Others are women who have lost their families. Although these**
*Women are mostly strong and good at doing things. They are all very diligent and capable women. However, the Han people in Liaodong still instinctively believe that women are weak and it is better to choose a family with young and strong laborers.
, it is more appropriate to be a "one-for-one, one-for-one" assistance target.
So these women are still in the prison camp. Some people who wanted to buy serfs took up the idea after hearing about them and wanted to buy female slaves. However, Xia Xun refused. He planned to wait for the imperial court's reward.
These girls who have lost their husbands or are not yet married are betrothed to single meritorious generals so that they can start families.
In this way, these women have a home, and the soldiers can take root in Liaodong with more peace of mind. This can be regarded as the first step in ethnic integration. These female prisoners did not know Xia Xun's plan. They only saw the clan members
They were taken away one by one, leaving them alone waiting there silently, waiting for their fate.
That morning, a few officers and soldiers suddenly came to the prisoner camp, and they also brought a Jurchen with a pointed hat and leather robe. They selected the women in the prisoner camp, selected four women, and carried them in a lele cart.
left.
Along the way, the Jurchen and several Han officers and soldiers were talking and laughing loudly. The four *** women in the car could only understand some simple Chinese words at most, so they paid no attention to the conversations of these people. However,
Among them, there was one woman who listened particularly carefully. She was dressed much more gorgeously than other ordinary women. Her waistcoat was embroidered with bright flowers and decorated with colorful sequins. This was originally the product of the concubines in the Yuan Dynasty court.
Wearing clothes began to spread among the people later, but only powerful people could afford to wear them.
Lele's car was not spacious, and the four women could only squeeze together. However, the other three women would rather be more crowded and gave her a relatively spacious place. There is no doubt that this is a woman in the Ugu tribe.
A woman with a very high status in the tribe. Although the Ugu tribe no longer exists, these tribesmen still instinctively fear her and dare not offend her.
She is Wuyun, the wife of Hadanbaat'er, the leader of the Ugu tribe, and the daughter of Dorzataiji. She is from the upper class of society and speaks Chinese fluently. From the conversation between the Ming army, she knew that she was being
The Jurchen was bought as a slave girl, and the Jurchen's home was in the mountains outside the Eight Tigers Road. She also heard those Ming soldiers boasting proudly that they bribed the herdsmen of some tribe last time, so they didn't know the ghost.
Appearing in the Ugu tribe unknowingly, they would then attack somewhere else.
"Eight Tigers Road! The Eight Tigers Road is the outermost pass between Liaodong and Tatar, and the Jurchen leader lives on the mountain outside the Eight Tigers Road. If I can grab a horse after leaving the pass, I will
If I can escape to Mengge Timur’s tribe, let him send someone to send me back to my father’s tribe!”
Thinking of this, Wu Yun's heart beat loudly...
