Chapter 80: Repair the City Wall
Chapter 80 �
Speaking of which, Xin Ai really has the ability to provide relief.
The reason was nothing. Although Altan died in the city of Beijing, the robbed wealth did not remain. Moreover, the Ming army did not pursue it. They almost steadily brought back a large amount of spoils. There was a lot of food in it. However, disaster relief was not the style of the Mongolians.
After all, if you die in a snow disaster, there will be a large number of elderly and weak people.
The living environment on the grassland is cruel and powerful, while the custom of being lighter than the elderly and weak has always existed.
If a large amount of valuable materials are used to save a large number of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, it will only increase the burden on Mongolia. It is not cost-effective at all.
Although it is a bit cruel, this is indeed the survival logic of the Mongolians. Anyway, although the Mongolian nobles are not as good as those of the rich men in the pass, their living standards are generally not too bad. They don’t care what the elderly below will do.
Zhang Hui has not lived in Mongolia for vain for a while.
It can be regarded as an in-depth investigation of the situation in Mongolia. Naturally, I understand the tricks here.
The reason why he did not provide disaster relief to Xin Aiti was not that he did not know about this matter, but that he knew that it would not be of use if he said it.
However, at this moment, Xiao Qin could not remain indifferent.
First, he also had his own plan for this matter, but because of the gradual persuasion of Xin Ai, he had not mentioned it at this time. Second, for him, he was indeed a Confucian scholar and still had a heart of loving the people. Even though many Mongolians didn't care, there were still many Han people on Fengzhou Beach.
The Han people who were robbed over were treated even less in foreign countries and were simply alive beasts. These were the first people to die in the heavy snow.
Among them are Datong people, Xuanfu people, and even some people near Beijing, who are all fathers and elders of the hometown and cannot remain indifferent.
Third, Zhang Hui never wanted to show timidity in front of Xiao Qin. After all, on the one hand, he looked down on Xiao Qin's character. On the other hand, he also understood some of the rules of struggle in Mongolia. There was not so much affectionateness, but more naked. Today, he showed timidity in front of Xiao Qin. No one would think that Zhang Hui had other ideas, or had needles hidden in the cotton and had methods. He would think that Zhang Hui was not as good as Xiao Qin and was afraid of Xiao Qin.
Zhang Hui said: "The Master Xiao came just right, but I was discussing this matter with the Khan."
Xiao Qin asked some questions, "Jiang just said that there is no precedent in this regard?"
Zhang Hui said: "It is precisely because there is no such precedent, that when setting precedents, we must pay special attention. After all, our dynasty is not as good as the Ming Dynasty. If we really want to provide disaster relief like Datong, we can't afford any family background. But if we don't provide disaster relief, it's unreasonable, so we must be very cautious."
Zhang Hui said, looking at Xin Ai.
Xin Ai was stunned, cooperated with Zhang Hui a little unnaturally and said, "Yes, Ben Khan just said that this is what he meant just now. That is what he meant."
Xiao Qin naturally saw some differences. However, she didn't mean to care. Instead, she asked: "So what good way does Mr. Zhang have?"
Zhang Hui said, "After thinking about it, there is finally a way that is not a solution." Zhang Hui turned his head and said, "Before governing, we should build city walls and establish a system. The Khan used to be nomadic everywhere and did not set up city walls. Now the Khan has always been stationed in Fengzhou Beach. Even though the tribes still need to migrate pastures, the people in the main department are no longer needed. After all, 'Chi Lechuan is at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep.' The land of Fengzhou Beach is the ancient Chi Lechuan land, which is a treasure land. Since the old Khan decided to establish a foothold here, there has not been a big move for more than ten years. It is necessary to think about the long-term things and safeguard the hearts of the Han people."
Xin Ai was still a little confused, and didn't know what Zhang Huiyan meant. But Xiao Qin had already heard it. He sneered and said, "Absurd. Are you trying to start construction and groundbreaking in the middle of winter?"
Zhang Hui said: "It may not be impossible. Although the progress of construction in winter is naturally not good, this is a form of labor-for-relief. Now, as long as the foundation is laid, it can be built quickly after spring. However, the Khan and the leaders of various tribes moved into the city to live in peace. In winter, the troops of various tribes can also be allowed to move the people into the city to hide from the wind and snow. In the future, even if there is a snow disaster, the situation will be much better."
"And at that time, the Khan could get closer to the leaders of all sides."
After hearing this, Xin Ai's heart moved, and then she figured out some subtexts of Zhang Hui. It was nothing else. She was just trying to expand Xin Ai's influence among the Mongolian tribes. The reason for grass is the latitude, the winter is long and the summer is short. In winter, due to one reason or another, many times, nothing can be done, and she can only be used to winter.
Of course, this is for the top leaders of the Tartars.
The herdsmen below are suffering from life and death.
If it is scattered on various grasslands, Xin Ai naturally has no way to influence it, but if it is all in a city, Xin Ai can find a way to influence the herdsmen below. Of course, Xin Ai also knows that it is impossible for all to be in a city. Although there are not many Mongolians in total, this is still related to the grassland.
But even so, it is a good thing to get more Mongolians to fall into his arms.
What's more, as for Xin Ai himself, he may not have wanted the Han people to enjoy it. Even ordinary people want to add a good car and change a house when they get rich. Not to mention sweating profusely.
Xin Ai has not been able to sit firmly in his position. Now he can still maintain the quality of hard work, just like ordinary Mongolian generals, living in a yurt. But he is already a little itchy in his heart. After all, he is not without money now.
With this idea, no winter construction difficulties are considered as such. After all, a city is not built in a year.
Xin Ai said, "This matter is very good. This matter is very good."
After hearing this, Xiao Qin's face turned a little ashen.
Xin Ai only heard some of these things, but Xiao Qin could hear some of the things behind them.
In fact, Xiao Qin had long wanted to build a city. However, this city was not a Mongolian city, but a Han city, or a White Lotus Sect.
Now, the number of board lifts has exceeded one hundred.
In fact, the so-called Bansheng is just a village, with a hundred villages, each with a few thousand people, which is about 200,000 people. In fact, at this time, it is necessary to build a city. After all, such a population base, which is placed in the Ming Dynasty, can be a large county, a scattered state, and even some remote places, deep in the mountains, but the geographical location is important. A palace is set up, but the population may not be so large.
Especially in the 29th battle of Jiajing, he broke into the city of Beijing and plundered a large number of Ming people. Now many have died, but more of them have joined Bansheng, making Bansheng stronger.
At this time, Xiao Qin actually felt that in order to unify so many villages, a city was needed.
A board to a city.
It's just that this matter is a bit sensitive.
It's nothing. If it's an ordinary village, the Tatar cavalry will break through without any effort. If it's a city, once there is a change, it's not easy for the Tatars to break through. Many cities have been attacking and defensive wars for many years. So Xiao Qin wants to do this, but he has never planned it. Although Xiao Qin will win the battle south this autumn, he may have raised this request.
But now the situation is different from what Xiao Qin estimates.
Although Fengzhoutan area has been developed, it still cannot accommodate two cities.
Once the city is built, it will inevitably radiate to the surrounding pine tree and become a transportation center, commercial center, and political center. If this city is a great khan, it is naturally a good thing for Xin Ai to concentrate all his efforts. However, it is a great impact for the White Lotus Sect.
Without even making any moves, the White Lotus Sect led by Xiao Qin was shaken by the rule of all floors.
