Railways are the only effective measure to improve the traffic environment at present. Apart from this thing, Zhu Youjian can't think of any other good way. At present, it seems that the pace of railway construction will not slow down for a long time in the future. This cycle will be at least fifty.
For more than 10 years, it will definitely not be enough for Zhu Youjian's generation to do this.
"Governor, there are many difficulties in establishing a new province. Your local officials must have a full understanding of the difficulties. Among them, there must be short-term strategies and long-term strategies. As the same saying goes, run quickly in small steps and be vigilant.
To advance blindly, we must also avoid the problem of too slow development. As the saying goes, one generation takes 20 years. My idea is that in 20 years, the situation in Yunzhong will have a big change, and the economic size will be comparable to that of the mainland.
Save almost the same.”
"I will definitely work hard to build Yunzhong well." Song Quan said with awe-inspiring righteousness, but in fact he didn't care much in his heart. Twenty years later, he would definitely not be the governor here again. He only wanted to build his own
Just do your job well and have a safe and sound communication.
In the next few days, in the temporary camp area set up on the Zhangbei grassland, Mongolian nobles from various tribes who were invited to participate in the meeting arrived one after another. The entire alliance venue became a large gathering area, and the nobles spent all day
Drink a lot of wine, dance, and have a great time, and you don't need to be happy.
In fact, the Mongolian nobles like this kind of occasion very much. As long as there are people attending, safety and security, and taking care of food, housing and drinking, what reason do they have to refuse? It's just that the Ming Dynasty has never been very fond of such social activities.
The nobles on the grassland would not have a chance to come and eat and drink.
How much does it cost to hold a conference where people eat and drink together? After the Manchus took over the Central Plains, they have been doing this with the people on the grasslands, so they have always had good control over the grasslands.
On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, horses galloped in the Zhangbei grassland, and the crowd was buzzing. Qin Liangyu, Huang Degong, Ma Youliang, Ma Xu and other generals straddled their horses in military uniforms and led more than two thousand cavalry to guard Zhu Youjian as he entered the venue with great fanfare.

The leaders of the grassland tribes who participated in the meeting came to the main meeting stage with great shouts of welcome. They began the first ceremony of the meeting, worshiping the heaven and meeting the alliance.
After burning incense and worshiping the sky, offering wine and toasting together, Zhu Youjian began to speak: "Today, as the Son of Heaven, I have an alliance with all of you. This is a rare event. This alliance will bring long-term stability to the grassland, and it will be a long-lasting alliance for the grassland.
A prosperous meeting. In the name of the Son of Ming Dynasty, I grant all participating tribesmen the status of subjects of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the people of Mongolia and Han, regardless of internal or external, all enjoy the same land and water, and the same blue sky. Please be eternal.
The sky gives us the same brilliance, which will always illuminate us toward light, peace, and prosperity."
"Long live the Changshengtian, long live the Ming Dynasty, long live our emperor." The garrison troops took the lead, leading the leader of the grassland tribe who was kneeling on the ground to start another wave of mountain calls.
After the Baitian Meeting, Zhu Youjian, under the guard of generals, met with the leaders participating in the meeting one by one, and gave him wine and property. It was not until all the more than forty tribal leaders had met that the meeting came to an end.
"Lord Aoga, I heard that your tribe is a tribe that was merged and formed in the past two years. The Ming Dynasty is very concerned about newly-emerged tribes and territories like yours. Since ancient times, the Ming Dynasty has treated everyone equally in its interactions with the grassland and has not bullied anyone.
The weak are not afraid of the strong! If you have any problems in your territory that are difficult to solve, you can come to the Ming court. In today's grasslands, no matter strong or weak, everyone has the right to enjoy the grasslands and territory fairly. The Ming Dynasty will be every peace-loving,
The peaceful grassland people are the strongest backing." After the conference, Zhu Youjian began to hold closed-door talks with the leaders of the participating tribes one by one in the big tent at the venue. To put it bluntly, it was to divide and win over different tribes.
The forces say different things and give them empty promises.
The Haoshi tribe, which has emerged in the past two years, is the focus of attention. They were formed by the merger of two small tribes. Although the number of tribes until now is only more than 3,000, the way they were formed is quite special.
, which is very different from the traditional grassland forces. Zhu Youjian feels that such tribes have the potential to break the original interest structure of the grassland and should be focused on.
"We are deeply grateful for the kindness of the Holy Emperor to the grassland and our tribe. May the Ming Dynasty be as eternal as the Eternal Sky, and may the people of our tribe always enjoy the kindness of the Holy Emperor. The Ziming of the Haoshi Tribe will be like the green grass
Just like we are dependent on the earth, we will always be loyal to the powerful and prosperous Ming Dynasty." What's wrong with saying a few nice words when being alone received by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Besides, thanking Ming Dynasty is also Ao Ga's heartfelt thought.
In the spring of last year, Aoga's tribe merged with Babu's tribe through the instigation of businessman Ma Tianming. In just over a year, the tribe's population doubled. From one thousand sixty-seven, it expanded to
There are more than 3,000 people. Although they are still a small tribe on the grassland, due to the support of the Ming Dynasty's policies, their living environment has changed greatly. Today's Aoga, even if they face the first-rate forces on the grassland, are completely incompetent.
fear.
While having a backer, their own strength has also achieved a qualitative improvement. Through Ma Tianming's relationship, the Haoshi tribe purchased hundreds of armored stomachs and more than 200 foreign trade rods produced by the Ming Dynasty specifically for friendly tribes.
The flintlock gun armed the tribe's self-protection power to the teeth. Such sophisticated equipment would have been enough to raise an armed force for grassland hegemony in the past. When Nurhachi raised his army, the equipment and foundation were not as good as this.
Which. The current Haoshi tribe can survive on the grassland even without the support of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, compared with traditional strong tribes, they still have weaknesses. The cohesion of the tribe is not strong, and many members are newly adopted homeless people, so the stability is very poor. But Ao Ga is still full of confidence in the future of the tribe.
The diversity of tribe members is not a problem. As long as they live a stable life for three to five years, the tribe's centripetal force will be there. With the profits of flint and steel, Ao Ga is confident to provide a stable living environment for the tribe's people.
The Zhangbei Conference lasted three full days before it ended. At the conference, no determination was made to form a coalition and launch a general attack on the Qing Dynasty after the fall. Even the intention in this regard was not disclosed. The process of the conference was to eat, drink, dance, and then
Let the participants go back to their respective tribes after being well-fed and well-fed. Zhu Youjian came here just to convey his attitude and let the grassland tribes know that the Great Tomorrow was patrolling the border and invited everyone to play for a few days. Substantial
The content needs to be understood by Ma You, and Song Quan and others will promote it after the meeting. If we do this directly at the conference, what if someone who is blind to it expresses objections? Just raise the level of attention, and the rest will be at the bottom.
