"The loess soil is very loose, so when planting plants, you must choose species with well-developed root systems. Also, in order to cope with dry weather, drought-tolerant plants are the first choice. For example, the common Chinese pine here is actually very good. After
After the first-generation planting has achieved a certain effect in soil and water conservation, we must find ways to enrich the types of plants. Otherwise, the varieties will be single and it will easily cause ecological disasters."
Zuo Menggeng attached great importance to the ecological restoration work in the northern region and brought out all the methods in his memory.
Although due to differences in time and technology, it is still not as efficient as in later generations, today's ecological restoration is not expensive and can operate for a long time.
What is needed is patience from the officials, perseverance from the people, and determination from the country.
As long as these three points are achieved, Zuo Mengeng is confident that through a hundred years of work, the Loess Plateau will become fertile soil for the world again.
His leading role as emperor is very obvious.
He personally went there and cared about everything, and the ecological concept quickly took root in Shanxi.
After a long period of war and disaster, people will also think about why the land they have lived on for generations has become like this. After understanding the concept of ecology, they will suddenly understand and be willing to devote themselves to the struggle to improve their hometown.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the Mongolians in the huge military camp at the foot of the Greater Khingan Mountains are becoming more and more anxious.
The herdsmen almost looked forward to the stars, the moon, and an explanation.
It's better than being locked up in a military camp, helplessly waiting for your fate to be pronounced.
Soon, heavy snow will come.
Before that, if enough fodder is not collected, the cattle and sheep will freeze to death and starve to death in the long cold winter.
Once that point is reached, these herdsmen will have no way to survive.
But they have all been guarded by the National Defense Forces and are not allowed to leave. They can only wait in despair.
They looked to the Taiji gentlemen for help.
But in the past, the Taiji masters, who were high and domineering, are now in a worse situation than them.
After all, ordinary herders are only being guarded, while Master Taiji and the soldiers are prisoners of war.
The prairie people know very well what will happen to the captives.
Horqin's left and right wings, the Eastern Mongolian tribes, the Dulbert tribe, etc., etc. It can be said that except for the Tumut tribes, the entire Monan Mongolia has now been swept away by the National Defense Forces.
The Mongols of all tribes were imprisoned in huge prisoner-of-war camps, and there was no movement as to how they should be dealt with.
It's not that Lou Fu and others don't want to deal with it, but that they have already received the order, so they can only wait.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and the large group of people finally came from the south.
On this day, Bumbutai still woke up with nothing to do, took care of Fulin to get dressed, and ate the food sent by the National Defense Force.
These nobles were under strict supervision, and Bumbutai and Fulin were even kept separate. Even Aunt Sumala was not allowed to be with them.
Bumubutai didn't know what was going on outside.
Under such circumstances, even her ingenuity and resourcefulness are of no use.
What would happen to her and her son? She had no choice but to pray to the Heaven of Immortality.
But today is different.
Just after breakfast, an officer from the National Defense Force came over.
"The queen is here. She wants to see you mother and son. Please come with me."
Hearing this, Bumubutai couldn't help but be surprised.
Why a queen?
Instead of the emperor?
It is said that the Han people are not allowed to go out in their harem, so why can the queen of Zuo Menggeng come here?
She couldn't figure it out, but luckily she gave up and led Fulin through countless tents and finally came to the largest one in the middle.
This area is obviously different from the past. It is heavily guarded and strictly isolated from the inside and outside.
When she and Fulin came over, a female officer immediately came forward and led them into the tent next to them. After carefully inspecting the inside and outside, they were led in.
As soon as he stepped into the tent, Bumubutai heard a somewhat arrogant and cold voice scolding him.
"You are also a good-for-nothing, and you only know how to cry. If there are descendants like you in Jinshitai, you will not be able to live peacefully under Jiuquan."
Bumbutai looked around in astonishment and saw a very young woman sitting in the middle with a golden sword.
This woman is beautiful, but also very heroic.
She is also well-informed. She has been photographed by many of the most powerful generals in the Qing Dynasty. But compared with the woman in front of her, they are all inferior.
Another impression this woman gave her was...
So high!
Even when sitting, he is half taller than an ordinary person.
And as a woman, she wore a straight military uniform. There were no accessories on her head or body. Instead, she had neat short hair, parted in the middle of her forehead, which made her plain face look sharp.
The person who was reprimanded turned out to be Su Tai.
In addition, in the tent, on the left side are all the generals of the National Defense Force, and on the right side are the Manchu and Qing Dynasty and Mongolian surrender ministers and generals.
Bumubutai hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"I wonder why Prince Zheng Fujin offended the noble? Please give it to me. I will give you an explanation when I get back."
Wang Siyi turned her head and looked at Bumubutai, who was trying to pretend to be calm, with a flash of appreciation in her eyes.
"You are no longer the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. You have no power to deal with others. It is not your turn to interfere in the private affairs between our sisters."
Bumu Butai was scolded in public, and his face couldn't help but feel hot.
She looked at Su Tai with questioning eyes.
Although Su Tai was crying hard, his expression could not be said to be sad or happy.
"The Queen Mother...my sister, come quickly and meet Her Royal Highness Queen Wu of the Empire. Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness Queen Wu is not an outsider, but my sister's cousin."
Bumbutai immediately remembered the information about Wang Siyi, but he did not expect that Wang Siyi was such a tough person.
She came here today to make the sea-fixing needle.
With her here, the National Defense Forces and the government can do many things with confidence and boldness.
"I am about to leave for Shenyang. You all should follow me. Now that the empire has surrendered, I will naturally make good arrangements for you to go."
Hearing this, the Manchus didn't do anything, but the Mongolian princes and nobles panicked.
Manzhu Xili hurriedly said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen clearly knows that winter is coming soon, and all tribes must prepare for the winter. If we leave here, I am afraid that the tribes will not be able to survive this winter."
Others also talked about the same thing.
Wang Siyi waited until they had said enough, then sneered: "The government has its own regulations on how to arrange for the herdsmen to spend the winter, so you don't have to worry about it."
The Mongolian princes were not fools either. How could they not understand the dangers involved?
"Does the empire want to drive out all of us Mongols? We will never leave our homeland."
Such impassioned remarks were of no use to Wang Siyi.
She clapped her hands, and a large group of national defense troops rushed in, with their dark guns pointed at these Mongolian princes.
