Iron tycoon in late Ming Dynasty 1385. If cattle and sheep dont eat the grass under their feet, how can they climb over the mountains and chew the sand?
1385. If cattle and sheep dont eat the grass under their feet, how can they climb over the mountains and chew the sand?
Everyone nodded at these words. This is the truth.
Only benefits that are visible and tangible are real benefits. Who will pay attention to your empty promises without knowing the results?
Chief Hezhezhara, who was wearing fish skin clothes and trousers, gasped and said: "The people of Jianzhou are not good people either. Last year they sent envoys and took away 3,000 pieces of high-quality sable skins from my tribe. As promised
Give me three thousand kilograms of sorghum. They haven't paid me the bill till today. I think I need to think carefully about their promise. The Great Wall is more than three thousand miles away from here. Don't let them deceive you. It's a waste of time in the winter.
One trip will ruin next year's livelihood."
Chief Tatalahachi then said: "The benefits of the Ming Dynasty have been brought to us. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, so they would not deceive us because of petty profits. It is not enough to reduce the price. The people of Jianzhou are poor and have a small business.
Those who pick at the soil are not happy at work. The cattle and sheep do not eat the green grass under their feet, but listen to the bewilderment of the Jianzhou people and climb over the mountains to chew the sand. That is a disease of the brain."
The Gule headman nodded, what he said was reasonable. Moreover, so many people were willing to get close to Daming, so he couldn't stand alone. In this wild land, being unsocial was not a good thing.
"What should I do with that Beizi sent by Jianzhou? Should I kill him first?" Mao Kang'an, Gule's son-in-law, said coldly.
This time, Jianzhou sent Nurhaci’s third son Aixinjueluo Abai.
Abai was born in 1585 AD (the thirteenth year of Wanli) to Zhaojia, a concubine. Since he was born to a concubine, he was not favored by Nurhaci, and he only served as a deputy general during foreign campaigns.
However, although he was a marginal figure, he was not involved in the vendettas among his disciples, nor did he encounter any misfortune.
Although he is not taken seriously, he still has some ability.
In the original history, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was granted the title of General of the State (a symbolic first-grade official position). In 1653 AD, Abai died of illness at the age of 68. It was considered a safe life and a good death.
He didn't make any achievements, but he wasn't suspected by Huang Taiji or framed by Dorgon. After all, he was also the biological son of Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, and he was indispensable for a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.
Because of his background, he is relatively low-key and has a gentle personality.
Unlike Duduo, who is arrogant and domineering and brings disaster upon himself.
Duduo liked gentle and pleasant Jiangnan women. He liked to invite the wives and concubines of his subordinate Han officials who were from Jiangnan to sleep with him. As a result, he contracted smallpox and burped at a young age.
In this era, the Han people carried the smallpox virus, and the Mongolians carried the plague virus. The Jurchens carried hemorrhagic fever and other highly infectious viruses. Europeans who sailed from the west carried venereal diseases such as syphilis.
Especially Westerners brought these internal diseases to the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.
Before that, there were no sexually transmitted diseases in the Han areas. You could hang out in brothels without worrying about infectious diseases. As long as your kidneys were good and your wallet was ample. After the late Ming Dynasty, these places became dangerous places.
The Mongols and Jurchens did this because they captured a large number of wild animals, obtained their furs, and acquired infections from the animals. However, they themselves rarely contracted the plague because they rode horses.
The plague is spread by fleas, and horses' sweat has a special smell that fleas particularly hate. They smell like horses, so they rarely get the plague themselves.
However, once the plague spreads to Han Dynasty, it will cause a devastating blow. Often, most of the people in the city will die, and the entire village will be wiped out.
Smallpox was also a great threat to the Mongols and Jurchens.
Because the Han people have been tortured by smallpox for more than two thousand years and coexist with the virus. Therefore, they have a certain degree of resistance and the mortality rate is much lower than them. Many Han people are virus carriers, but they do not necessarily get sick.
After the Eight Banners entered the customs, their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, which was inseparable from smallpox.
They captured Han Chinese as slaves, liked Han women with tender skin and tender meat, enclosed land and occupied houses, and committed all kinds of evil.
The close contact with the Han people caused them, from the royal family to the bannermen, to suffer from smallpox in large numbers, resulting in a large number of deaths. Their combat effectiveness dropped sharply.
This is also one of the reasons why the green battalions gradually became the main force in the Qing Dynasty.
Animals are really resistant to certain infectious diseases. Yang Fan now raises a large number of horses. There are hundreds of them on the horse farm. But each horse farm must raise some monkeys. They are commonly known as Bi Ma Wen.
This name is a good name for avoiding horse plague. Because the urine of female monkeys can drive away the hosts carrying the horse plague virus. This is the same reason that fleas hate the smell of horse sweat.
Abai, an idle kid whom his grandma didn't care for and his uncle didn't love, was sent as a hard worker by Huang Taiji to win over the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea in the north.
He didn't even make it to Baylor, which shows the difference in situation. He is not included in the four big Baylors and the four small Baylors.
He felt miserable, but there was nothing he could do.
After Chu Ying died, Daishan was the eldest son and had two powerful red flags in his hands. Huang Taiji was capable and had two yellow flags in his hands. The three Dorgon brothers, although they were young, were loved by their father Khan, and their hands were
Hold two white flags.
It was not his turn to establish elders, virtuous people, or loved ones. He could only live a careful life, living with his tail between his legs among his elder brothers and younger brothers.
He originally thought that when he arrived at Manggu Village, Dajin would be so powerful that these savages would not let them bow before him. He quickly offered up alluvial gold, sea dongqing, beauties, dongzhu, hounds, and mink skins. However, after he came, he found that it was not the case.
That's what happened.
According to the Jurchens of the East China Sea, Yan Timur, the fifth generation ancestor of his family, was a Mongolian. Because he lived in Mudanjiang, made a living by fishing and hunting, and gave up nomadic life, he was called a Water Tatar.
It means the Tatars who live by the river in Huli and rely on the water to draw water.
In order to survive, they went to Fushun and became top Jurchens.
At that time, Emperor Yongle wanted to select some Jurchen chiefs to help guard the border. If they used Tatar identities, there would be no chance. They deceived Emperor Yongle and said that they were Jurchens. Only then did they get the post of commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard.
We are only five generations old. Although the savages are uneducated, they still remember these things. They all live in the Northern Wilderness, so no one knows who they are. Your ancestors can tell you everything.
Therefore, the Jurchens of the East China Sea are not interested in Jianzhou and do not regard them as kinsmen at all.
Since he arrived, although the Guletou people have treated them well, they have always been evasive and refused to give direct answers. In the past few days, he heard that the leaders of various large tribes of Jurchens in the East China Sea have come. He just
Cheer up.
It seemed that Gu Le could not represent the entire East China Sea Jurchen. At the same time, he was also undecided. Then, while steadying himself, he went to notify the various leaders of the East China Sea Jurchen to come to a meeting to discuss the recruitment of Dajin.
However, he still has confidence in his mission. When he saw the living conditions of these people, it really made people cry. Even in the most miserable and miserable times in Jianzhou, it was ten times better than here.
They all live like this. Of course they would be interested in joining forces to rob the Southern Dynasties.
