After the Ming army captured the Hami area, they immediately wiped out the remaining Mongol forces nearby. Any Mongol remnants who dared to resist were killed and their bodies were hung on poplar trees in the desert as a warning.
Anyone who dares to resist the Ming Dynasty.
After eliminating the resistance, the Ming government began to carry out detailed and comprehensive management of the Hami area.
First of all, in accordance with the national policy of the Ming Dynasty formulated by Zhu Han, many lands in the Hami area were controlled by the Ming Dynasty officials in the form of lease or redemption.
These lands were distributed to farmers and herdsmen who supported the Ming Dynasty. After obtaining the land, local farmers and herdsmen of all ethnic groups naturally supported the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
If anyone asks the Ming Dynasty to withdraw from the Hami area, it will be equivalent to cutting off the livelihood and lifeblood of these people.
In addition, Ming Dynasty also established special tax management and inspection departments in various important trading cities and oases.
These customs duties are not simply a collection of taxes, but careful verification to avoid double taxation.
In the past, Hami and other areas were controlled by different spheres of influence, and almost every oasis had its own lord.
Each lord did not recognize the taxes levied by the other.
In other words, when doing business in the Hami area, you have to pay taxes every time you go to a place.
As a result, it has placed a great burden on many small and medium-sized businessmen.
But Ming Dynasty avoided this situation.
The government has specially formulated a unified tax stamp. As long as you can pay commercial taxes anywhere in a certain area, you can avoid repeated tax payments in other places with payment vouchers.
As a result, the government won the enthusiastic support of almost all small and medium-sized businessmen.
In the desert oases, there are often robbers and bandits who specialize in killing people and stealing goods.
After the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers and the inspection department jointly mobilized, it took less than two months to wipe out the surrounding bandits and robbers.
In fact, behind these bandits and robbers, there are shadows of lords from various places.
The Ming government suppressed those lords, and the bandits and robbers naturally had no place to survive.
In order to ensure this hard-won peace and stability, the Ming Dynasty and the Hami Xingdu Division set up garrison troops in many oases.
These field soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were considered a type of production force. They reclaimed land, sown food, opened simple arsenals, and also took care of local security and daily training.
Setting up field troops in Hami was also a strategy formulated by Zhu Han himself.
Because people of all ethnic groups live together in the Hami area, the number of Han people is too small, which is very detrimental to future stability and prosperity.
Therefore, troops must be stationed locally for a long time to take root in the power of the Ming Dynasty in the form of field troops.
As field soldiers of the Hami Xingdu Division of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shan and Wang Gui were still in the same military camp.
Li Shan and Wang Gui were already comrades-in-arms when they were in the capital of Peking.
It's just that at that time, they didn't like each other.
Because one of them is a Han from Huaixi and the other is a Jurchen from Liaoyang.
But after staying in the same military camp for a long time and getting to know each other better, no one cared about the origins of the Han Jurchens anymore. Anyway, there were no Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty's household register.
All Jurchens, as long as they submitted to the Ming Dynasty, were labeled as Han people.
Zhu Han's clever method caused the Jurchens to disappear in the long river of history.
Li Shan and Wang Gui have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Because they have accumulated a lot of military merit, they have both been promoted after coming to Hami.
Li Shan was appointed as the general manager of the Qianhu Office in Huozhou, Hami, and Wang Gui was appointed as the deputy general manager.
Hami, Ming Dynasty, Huozhou Qianhusuo.
As the Qianhu Office to ensure local security in Huozhou, the Huozhou Qianhu Office is located in an open space three miles outside Huozhou City.
This is a piece of land near a river. It was originally a horse farm owned by the Mongols.
After the Ming army came, the racecourse was abolished and turned into a military garrison for the Huozhou Guards Station of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army stationed more than 300 soldiers and horses at Huozhou Qianhu Station.
Although it is called Qianhu Station, there is really a serious shortage of personnel here in Hami.
A thousand-household office usually only has three to five hundred people, and the remaining gaps need to wait for the court to slowly replenish it, or if the thousand-household officials of each thousand-household office are capable, they can recruit themselves. However, the population of Hami is originally
There are far fewer soldiers than in the Central Plains, and it is even more difficult to recruit qualified soldiers.
As a Qianhu of Huozhou Qianhu Office, Li Shan is actually very leisurely every day.
In addition to inspecting the soldiers' training when I got up in the morning, the rest of the time was spent squatting in my room and carefully studying the latest combat training manual issued by the imperial court.
Under Zhu Han's promotion, the current Ming Dynasty army has implemented a modernized standard officer training process.
Qianhuguan is already an intermediate-level military commander and must meet learning standards every year before he can continue to serve as an officer or general in the military.
Therefore, although Li Shan is busy with work every day, he does not dare to relax at all when it comes to learning new training manuals.
Early this morning, Li Shan went to inspect the military camp and farmland.
After coming back at noon, I had lunch and didn't even take a nap. I just continued studying the unfinished training manual.
After studying for an hour, Li Shan was already a little dizzy.
At this time, a crisp and gentle voice came from the side.
"Master, do you want some tea?"
Li Shan looked up and saw that it was his newly married woman who came in with a cup of fragrant tea.
Next to the tea, there is a small fruit plate, on which are piled some red dates, raisins, cut cakes and other local snacks from Hami.
As a poor person in Huaixi who once had trouble eating, Li Shan is very satisfied with his current life.
After Li Shan's mother-in-law put the tea and snacks on the table, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her to sit on his lap.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mrs. Li Shan’s curly hair gently brushed his face, which immediately made him lustful and his big hands began to become dishonest.
Li Shan's mother-in-law is called Dilinazha. She is not Han, but a local Weiwuer people.
She was born into a family of a Weiwuer merchant. After Li Shan served as the Qianhu Office in Huozhou, he married the daughter of a wealthy Weiwuer merchant under the introduction of a local Ming Dynasty official, and he took root in Hami.
.
Li Shan's Weiwuer wife was beautiful and smart, and she brought him a large dowry. Naturally, the two of them were very loving.
Now, Li Shan's life in Hami is so sweet.
The only thing the two of them lack is a child.
However, they had just gotten married, so Li Shan was not in a hurry.
The couple got closer and closer in the room, and soon sparks were created that were difficult to extinguish.
Li Shan rushed over, kicked the door shut, picked up his wife Dili and threw her on the bed.
Afterwards, naturally, there was a fierce battle between heaven and earth.
After a while.
Li Shan left his wife Dili to pack her clothes and bed, and walked out of the room very happily.
At this time, it had already snowed in Hami.
Taking a breath of fresh air and standing in the yard is very refreshing.
Especially after what happened just now, Li Shan's mind is extremely clear now.
He suddenly remembered that this afternoon was the day when Deputy Qianhu Wang Gui of Huozhou Qianhu Station was supposed to be on duty.
When he thought of Wang Gui's habit of being too drunk, Li Shan felt that he should check the post.
After asking his wife Dili, Li Shan came to Wang Gui's residence.
really.
Before he stepped into Wang Gui's home, he heard Wang Gui's voice from inside.
Wang Gui was yelling at his wife and throwing things randomly. He was obviously drunk again.
When Li Shan heard this, his face suddenly darkened, he pushed open the courtyard door and shouted inside.
"Wang Gui! You Jurchen barbarian, get out of here."
Hearing Li Shan's voice, the sound of Wang Gui banging around in the house disappeared immediately.
However, Wang Gui did not come out of the room, but started pretending to be dead inside.
Regarding Wang Gui, an old comrade-in-arms, Li Shan had long known his temperament.
After Wang Gui came to Hami, he was promoted based on his military merit and served as Li Shan's deputy, Deputy Qianhu of Huozhou.
However, Wang Gui has a bad temper.
The wife he wanted was cowardly and obedient, and Wang Gui was allowed to do whatever he wanted in the house.
Today's incident of leaving work, going home, drinking, and beating my wife is not the first or second time.
Li Shan entered the room and saw Wang Gui sitting on a wooden chair with a wine bottle in his hand.
His wife was sitting next to him, holding a ball of wool in her hand. It seemed that she was spinning a sweater just now.
This kind of wool thread issued by the Ming Dynasty government is the most popular thing in the Hami area.
Every woman whose family conditions are relatively good is learning to knit woolen clothes.
Anyone who owns the latest woolen sweater is definitely a very enviable thing in Hami.
After all, these latest sheep wool are valuable. A woolen sweater sells for almost as much as one tael of silver. It is a complete luxury product.
Wang Gui's wife is also a local Uighur woman from Huozhou, but her background is relatively humble and she comes from a farmer's family.
In addition, Wang Gui, a Jurchen, grew up in a barbaric and rude environment, and did not know how to care for his wife, let alone how to play the harp and the music.
It is almost common for me to yell at my wife after drinking too much.
Although Wang Gui's wife didn't like this, she didn't have any unnecessary complaints.
After all, Wang Gui is still a prominent figure in the Ming Dynasty officialdom in Huozhou.
As soon as she leaves home, Wang Gui's wife is the object of admiration and envy for everyone.
Therefore, it is nothing to suffer some idleness at home.
What's more, Wang Gui only threw and beat her, yelled and cursed, and never really hit a woman.
After Li Shan reprimanded Wang Gui, he took him out of the house, went to the Huozhou Guard, and returned to his post.
Li Shan continued to teach Wang Gui a lesson and repeatedly stated that he would definitely report his recent poor performance to the Hami Xingdu Division.
After hearing that Li Shan wanted to report his situation to Xingdusi, Wang Gui finally lost the rogue attitude he had just now, and instead licked his face and began to call his brother and brother affectionately.
I begged Li Shan to let him go this time.
After getting Wang Gui's guarantee, Li Shan stopped pursuing it. After all, the Hami area had entered winter at this time, and any bandits and robbers were dormant, and generally would not come out to do evil at this time.
The climate here in Hami is very different from that in the Central Plains.
In the summer, it can heat people to the point of being cooked on the spot, but in the winter, the cold wind howls and the snow falls, which is no worse than the "white hair" storm on the grassland.
Under such harsh weather, no one can survive in the wild desert when winter comes.
In the past, those bandits and robbers would quietly hide their identities in winter and look for a safe place to spend the winter.
Now, through the joint operations of the Ming Dynasty's official army and the Inspection Department, the bandits and robbers in the Hami area have been wiped out. Even if there are sporadic remnants, they do not dare to invade such important military areas as Huozhou Qianhusuo.
Unless they have taken the courage of their ambitions and become dizzy.
As a field soldier of the Ming Dynasty's Hamiduxingdu Division, Wang Gui actually lived a happy and happy life every day. As long as he completed training and patrol tasks in accordance with the regulations, he could spend the rest of the time at home hugging his beautiful Weiwuer wife and drinking wine.
Have a drink and eat barbecue, then close the door and have a three hundred round sausage fight on the hot kang.
Such a happy life is a good life that Wang Gui, a Jurchen who originally lived in the mountains and forests of Liaoyang, never dared to imagine.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
So Wang Gui immediately said that he would quit drinking and never dare to violate military regulations again.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Uszantusi, Kham Prefecture.
As the only way to pass through the Ancient Tea Horse Road from Sichuan to Uszang, the Kham area is a very important commercial distribution center.
All goods from there must go through the Kham region.
This resulted in an extremely prosperous local business.
The situation in the Uzang area is actually very similar to that in the Hami area.
The land there is also relatively barren, and large numbers of serfs and herdsmen gather on a small number of livable plains.
They are all the private property of the noble lords of Uzang.
Whether it was daily life or birth, old age, illness and death, everything was decided by their local serf owners.
Even the slave owner chieftain would not hesitate to kill the serfs when he wanted to do something and needed human life to be sacrificed.
The serfs who were chosen to die had no room to resist.
Because once they resist, on the one hand, they will implicate their family members, and on the other hand, they will feel that they are disrespectful to the Buddha, which will cause them to suffer endless suffering in reincarnation.
Buddhism here is like a tight spell tied to the head. The serfs in the Uzang area are extremely respectful and obedient to their lord chieftain, both physically and mentally.
After the Ming Dynasty official army stationed in the Uzang area, they began to free these serfs.
However, it was really difficult at the beginning.
The local lords and chieftains of Uzang are extremely stubborn, and they have a large number of private armed forces in their hands.
After seeing that the Ming Dynasty wanted to reform them, they naturally couldn't tolerate it.
In the entire Kham region, four large-scale rebellions broke out in just three months.
If it weren't for the brave and well-equipped soldiers of the Ming Dynasty stationed here, I'm afraid the Ming army would have been driven out by the rebels.
After the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eliminated these rebellions, the Kham area became slightly stable.
After wiping out several powerful toasts, the Ming government directly distributed the farmland and pastures of these toasts to the rescued serfs.
After receiving the grain, houses and land allocated by the Ming Dynasty government, these serfs woke up from a dream.
Only then did they believe that the Ming government was really here to rescue them, and not an oppressor colluding with the serf chieftains.
certainly.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were not the Holy Mother of Kindness. In fact, they were also exploiters, but the degree of exploitation was much lighter than that of the serf-owning chieftains.
