Chapter 702 Reconstruction(1/2)
A dignified Mongolian tribal leader, in order to get the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Baktu did not shy away from calling himself a lackey of the Ming Dynasty.
The vast Mongolian grassland really needs a spokesperson after its future unification.
If a powerful tribe is allowed to be the spokesperson, they themselves are very powerful, and coupled with their own ambitions, over time they may make the same mistakes again and betray the Ming Dynasty.
But the Ujumqin tribe is different. Once the Ming Dynasty supports them, they will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Because without the strong support of the Ming Dynasty, their small tribe of tens of thousands would not be able to survive under the pressure of other tribes, and would definitely be firmly tied to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cihong looked at the face of Baktu, the leader of the Ujumqin tribe, and found no guilt or cunning in his face or eyes, so he had the idea of supporting him in his heart.
Before that, Zhu Cihong still had to test his loyalty first. If his loyalty was too low, he would never accept their surrender.
The system began to be upgraded shortly after Zhu Cihong took charge of the country. In the past, it was a sign-in reward, but now it is directly rewarded with points.
Sign-in reward gifts have limitations. It is more convenient and more diversified to use points to redeem them in the system store. As long as the points are enough, you can redeem them for whatever you need.
After destroying the slaves in Shengjing, the system points reward reaches more than one million points, which can be exchanged for technical blueprints and weapons that are more than a hundred years ahead.
Now Zhu Cixiang almost only exchanges technical drawings, and then hands them to the Royal Academy of Sciences for them to develop. It is detrimental to the development of science and technology in Ming Dynasty to keep exchanging them in kind.
With a thought, Zhu Cixiang once again started the system test that had not been used for a long time:
"System, test Bacotu's loyalty!"
"Ding, Ujimqin leader Bakutu's loyalty is 70%"
Zhu Cihong had not yet accepted their surrender, and Bactu's loyalty had far exceeded that of most officials. Zhu Cihong was still very satisfied with this.
He felt that if Baktu's surrender was formally accepted, his loyalty would still increase.
Seeing that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was in a daze, Bactu didn't know that he was communicating with the system. He thought that he had said something wrong, and he panicked again...
After a moment, Zhu Cixi smiled slightly and said:
"Baktu, whether Ming Dynasty can accept you mainly depends on your future performance. If you have ulterior motives and are not loyal to Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty will destroy you!"
When he heard for the first time that the Ming Emperor accepted the Ujumqin tribe, Baktu was so excited that he wanted to cry. It was not that he liked to cry, but it was related to the survival of tens of thousands of tribesmen.
Bactu hurriedly saluted Zhu Cihong again:
"Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor. The Ujimqin tribe is willing to do anything for the Ming Dynasty. As long as His Majesty the Emperor gives the order, Baktu will not hesitate to die!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly:
"Okay, your performance makes me very satisfied. I have decided to accept your tribe to join the Ming Dynasty. After a while, the Ming Dynasty will avenge you and destroy the Horqin tribe, the lackeys of the slave establishment. Then the Horqin tribe's pastures will be your Ujumqin tribe."
of……"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, Daming is the god of our tribe, woo woo..."
Hearing that the Ming Emperor finally accepted their surrender and decided to send troops to destroy the Horqin tribe and give all the Horqin tribe's pastures to the Ujumqin tribe, the Mongolian man was so excited that he burst into tears...
Seeing Bactu crying so hard that many generals in the court felt sad. They thought of their helpless feelings when the crown prince was a slave and invaded before he was in charge of the country...
When Zhu Cihong saw Bactu like this, he immediately tested his loyalty again and found that Bactu's loyalty soared to 98%.
The 98% loyalty surprised Zhu Cixiang. He knew that Bactu's loyalty would increase, but he did not expect to directly reach 98 degrees.
This level of loyalty is similar to that of the commander of the National Protectorate Army and the generals of each battalion. At this time, Zhu Cixiang had secretly decided to give Baktu the governor-general of the unified Mongolia!
The court hall was very quiet, except for Bactu's cry. After a while, the Mongolian man stopped. He wiped away his tears and kowtowed to Zhu Cihong three times again:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor. I am familiar with the Horqin tribe. When the Ming Dynasty decided to attack Horqin, the Ujumqin tribe was not afraid of life and death. The cavalry was willing to be the vanguard. Please give my tribe a chance to fight for the Ming Dynasty..."
"Okay, I promise you, you will go out immediately to bring the clansmen into the city, and I will order someone to arrange a camp for you to have meals and rest!"
Buktu was overjoyed. Horqin had killed countless of their tribesmen in the past six months and had paid with blood. Now he could finally take revenge with confidence.
Although he only had more than 4,000 warriors, Horqin had more than 10,000.
But the Ming Dynasty's heavenly army will not stand idly by and work hard to create miracles, fighting hard to find a way out for the tribe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I obey your order!"
Baktu immediately accepted the order, then stood up and exited the Chongwu Hall. At this time, he was walking vigorously and vigorously, and he was different from when he first entered the city...
The tribe had been bullied by Horqin several times, and there were not many cattle and sheep. Although horses could eat grass, people could not.
They even ate calves along the way before they could hold on until now. Now thirty to forty thousand herdsmen are trembling under the walls of Shenyang City.
Now the Ming Emperor not only accepts them, but also provides food for their people. Can Baktu be unhappy?
He is originally an outspoken and loyal person, but he does not hold anything back in his heart, and his happiness is written all over his face...
Zhu Cihong was not worried about the food problem. Shengjing paid tens of thousands of dan, and maritime transportation continued.
At this time, the rice in the south of the Yangtze River was also harvested, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the north were also in harvest season.
In the Ming Dynasty, the people in the north no longer suffered from hunger, and the remaining grain could be sold to the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the army would never run out of food.
After the army rested in Shenyang for three days, Zhu Cixiang issued a decree ordering all generals above the Qian Commandery of the Ming Army to attend the meeting at Chongwu Hall.
In the past, the only people who could enter Chongwu Hall were the chief generals and general soldiers of each army. This time, General Qian, guerrilla generals, staff generals, general soldiers, etc. all came to Chongwu Hall.
"See Your Majesty!"
The generals and civil servants entered the Chongwu Hall and immediately came forward to salute.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are many generals coming to the meeting, hundreds of them. If we stand in two classes of civil and military personnel, the civilian side will be empty, but the military attache side will be crowded.
No less.
Zhu Cixi nodded slightly and said:
"Without any courtesy, this is not the Emperor's Palace. You can stand anywhere on either side today!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Cixiang did not need to arrange positions. The generals had already found their positions according to their official positions. Those with higher official positions were closer to Emperor Shenwu, while those with lower official positions were slightly further away.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the Manchu generals below, he coughed lightly and said:
"Having rested for three days, the Ming army will start a new journey to annihilate those Mongolian tribes who followed the slave establishment and harmed the Ming Dynasty.
For this expedition to the grasslands, I plan to use all cavalry. In order to defeat the various Mongolian tribes as soon as possible, in addition to the cavalry of the National Guard Army, I will also deploy cavalry under the command of the commander-in-chief present.
After you go down today, count the number of war horses. I want to know how many war horses the Ming Dynasty army obtained after wiping out the Jiannu. Most of these war horses will be requisitioned by the cavalry."
You don't have to worry about the rewards for regaining Liaodong. The cavalry goes to the grasslands to destroy the Tatars, and the infantry returns to the pass. The imperial court will then distribute the rewards to you.
Regardless of whether I am in the capital or not, you should receive not less than a penny in reward, those who deserve promotion will still be promoted, and this time the pensions for the casualties will be doubled.
As for the soldiers who died in the battle to regain Liaodong, such as Ma Ke and Zu Dashou, I will pass the decree and confer titles on them. I will not forget every hero who fought for the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Cixiang explained the plan to fight Mongolia in the court...
As soon as Zhu Cihong finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao stepped forward and saluted:
"Your Majesty, in the battle of Liaodong, the slaves were vulnerable, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were not satisfied at all. I firmly support your Majesty..."
After Cao turned into a dragon, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and other commanders of the national defense army came forward to express their stance. They were not satisfied with fighting. Jiannu was really weak. It would be best to defeat the Mongolian tribe in one fell swoop.
He Renlong, Yang Guozhu and other generals also raised their hands in support. They all believed that this was the best time to defeat the Mongols in one fell swoop.
As for those people in the south of the Yangtze River, let the rogue bandits do what they want. Don't they want to prevent the National Protectorate from going south? Then let them do it...
Of course, some officials did not agree with attacking Mongolia at this time. Several civil servants believed that the Jiangnan bandits should be eliminated first and let the people of the Ming Dynasty rest for a few years before using force against Mongolia.
Although they had different opinions in their hearts, seeing that Emperor Shenwu and the generals were eager to give it a try, it seemed that they had already decided. They were very sensible and did not raise any objections.
After retreating from the court, each army went back to count the number of war horses. Zhu Cixiang left Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to discuss the governance of Liaodong.
"Two dear friends, how do you think Liaodong should be governed? Tell us what you think. This time, after conquering Mongolia, we will return directly to the capital. Before leaving, we must resolve the post-war issues in Liaodong."
Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and said:
"Last time, His Majesty mentioned the issue of immigration to Liaodong. I believe that this matter must be done, otherwise a large amount of land in Liaodong will be abandoned by winter."
Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard this and said:
"The population in Liaodong is a problem. Before the immigration is solved, I thought the garrison could be used. Winter wheat must be planted this year."
Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion reminded Zhu Cixiang of the Construction Corps of later generations. It was a good idea to make use of the garrison before the immigration problem was solved.
Because Liaodong is absolutely safe at this time, they have no battles to fight at all, and the soldiers have nothing to do except train.
After a morning of discussion, Zhu Cixi decided to officially appoint Qiu Mingyang, the former governor of Liaodong, as the governor of the three eastern provinces. After the army left, he immediately converted the Jiannu Palace into the governor's office.
Cai Maode was appointed as the Chief Envoy of Liaoning Province, Yang Wenyue was appointed as the Chief Envoy of Jilin Province, and Chen Qiyu was appointed as the Chief Envoy of Heilongjiang Province.
Zhu Cixi sent a decree and ordered Shandong Governor Hong Chengchou to fully cooperate with them, immigrate from all over Shandong, and resume construction and production in Liaodong as soon as possible.
These people all died for the Ming Dynasty in history, especially Chen Qiyu who is the most famous.
However, Zhu Cihong did not reuse them after he took over the country. This time Zhu Cihong gave them a chance to display their talents.
Chen Qiyu
In the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, he served as governor of Youqiandu, Yansui. He suppressed Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army very effectively and became famous in Guan and Shaanxi.
In the seventh year, he was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan Military Affairs. He marched into Junzhou and mobilized generals to attack various rebel armies.
Li Zicheng's peasant army was forced to retreat into Xing'an and was trapped in the Chexiang Gorge. Because the Ming army was tightly surrounded, they pretended to surrender and sent a message to the counties they passed.
