Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1253, It's Terrible
"It took more than ten days to finally walk out of the fertile river area."

"I am most impressed by the richness of the area in the middle of the river. In my opinion, there is probably no place that can compare with the richness of the middle of the river."

"But the Hezhong region is only the frontier of the western border of the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Regions are closer to the Ming Dynasty."

"The first stop we entered the Western Regions was Lantian Town. This town, like the towns in the Hezhong area, is an immigrant who came from the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty along with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty."

In an inn in Blue Sky Town, Ali Pasha recorded everything here with his pen.

Pull up the curtains, open the glass windows, and the white-capped snow-capped mountains in the distance, like a holy goddess, are looking at you with gentle eyes.

Under the snow-capped mountains, there are alpine pastures with lush water and grass. You can see the flocks of sheep, cattle, and horses like white clouds in patches, and they are very leisurely eating the last stubble before winter on the grassland. grass.

Nearby, rivers and streams meander down from the snow-capped mountains. On both sides of the rivers and streams are endless golden wheat fields. Steam harvesters are constantly harvesting wheat with white smoke, and the whistling whistle echoes In this picturesque world.

"gorgeous!"

Ali Pasha couldn't help admiring.

"Yeah, it's really picturesque and intoxicating."

Moses walked over with a smile all over his face.

"Let's go, let's go and taste the delicacies of the Western Regions of Ming Dynasty."

Ali Pasha got up, took Moses out of the inn, and wandered around Lantian Town casually.

Although Lantian Town is not big, it is very lively, especially children playing and playing everywhere, in groups and in great numbers.

"Moses, have you noticed anything?"

Ali Pasha looked at these children playing in groups, his eyes lit up slightly, and then asked Moses beside him.

"My lord, are you referring to these children?"

"Yes, you can see it too. A large part of these children don't look like Daming people. Their eyes and hair are very different from Daming people."

"The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are countless tribes living in it. It shouldn't be surprising, right?"

"It's not surprising, of course, but all these children speak Minghua, which makes people have to study it carefully."

Ali Pasha looked at the group of children playing in front of him, and looked carefully, and soon he found that these children should be of mixed race, children of Daming, Western Regions, Central Asia, and Europeans.

"Asna, Muhammad~ It's time to go home and eat."

At this time, a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance came over and shouted at two of the children.

"Oh~"

When the two children who were playing vigorously heard this, they were immediately disappointed and prepared to follow her back.

"This lady~"

Hearing these two names, Ali Pasha was immediately excited, stepped forward, and politely saluted the other party.

When the other party saw Ali Pasha salute, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted Ali Pasha, Moses and others.

"My name is Ali Pasha, and I am the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. This time I went to the capital of the Ming Empire to meet the Emperor of the Ming Empire under the order of the Great Sultan. I happened to pass by here. I wonder if I could bother Madam for a moment and ask something?"

Ali Pasha said very politely.

The translator beside him was about to translate Ali Pasha's words, but unexpectedly, the other party replied in the language of the Ottoman Empire: "So it is the noble Grand Vizier~"

"I'm also a Turk from the Ottoman Empire. I didn't expect to have the honor to meet you here. If you don't mind, please sit in the humble house."

When Atagul heard it, the other party turned out to be the noble Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, who was equivalent to a cabinet minister of the Ming Empire, a prime minister, with an extremely noble status, and was lucky enough to meet him here in Lantian Town.

"Are you also a Turk from the Ottoman Empire?"

When Ali Pasha heard this, he was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone from the Ottoman Empire here.

"Then disturb Madam~"

Then he was not polite, and readily agreed to her invitation.

Following Ataguli, they came to a courtyard. It could be seen that this was a very ordinary courtyard. There were Spring Festival couplets and red lanterns pasted at the entrance of the courtyard, giving it a strong atmosphere of Ming Dynasty.

After entering the courtyard, I saw some elements of the Ottoman Empire, such as carpets produced in the Ottoman Empire, green-based decorations, and so on.

"Yasman, come out quickly, a distinguished guest is here!"

As soon as Ataguli arrived at the door of the house, she immediately yelled loudly, and soon came out another woman, who looked similar to Ataguli, and looked like two sisters.

"This is the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. This time, he is going to the capital to meet the Son of Heaven. He happened to pass by our Lantian Town and met me. I invited them to come to our house as a guest."

Atagul introduced Ali Pasha, Moses and others with a smile.

"Take the liberty to come here, it's too much trouble."

Ali Pasha and Moses also said with a smile.

"No, no, it is our honor to meet Grand Vizier here."

Like Atagul, Yasman was also very excited to see the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, and enthusiastically welcomed Ali Pasha, Moses and others to the living room.

Fragrant tea, melons and fruits from the Western Regions, desserts, etc. are also brought out quickly, warmly entertaining the guests from home.

After some busy work, they sat down and had a good chat.

"Our two sisters were originally the daughters of a nobleman in the city of Erzincan. Our father was named Kadi. Later, the army of the Ming Empire attacked the city of Erzincan. We were captured and sold here as slaves, and then bought by our husband-in-law. down."

Atagul held her child and told her life experience. When she said this, she and her younger sister Yasman also shed tears.

"Hey, it's because we didn't live up to our expectations. We couldn't beat the Ming people, otherwise we wouldn't have reduced you to the point of being slaves."

Upon hearing this, Ali Pasha immediately said in shame.

"Actually, it's okay. Our husband-in-law treats our sisters very well. The higher-ups listen to us on many things, such as naming the children. Except that the big name is chosen according to the Ming people's name, and the small name is chosen according to our ideas. Take it."

"And he also respects our habits, never beat or scolded us, and is very dedicated to us."

"There are also a lot of us Turkic people here, and we often get together to chat and chat, and we all have a good life."

Ataguli wiped away her tears, and hugged the child in her arms tightly.

"Are there a lot of us Turks here?"

Upon hearing this, Ali Pasha hurriedly asked.

"There are many. Many of the Daming people who immigrated here did not have wives, so the Daming government distributed a large number of women captured from the battlefield to them for free, or subsidized money for them to buy women."

"So here, almost every household is similar. The men are Ming people, and the women are bought. There are Turks, Kazakhs, Persians, Arabs, Europeans, etc."

"Our family is fine. Our husband-in-law didn't buy any other women after he bought our two sisters. Some people even have more than a dozen women in their families."

Atagul nodded and said.

"I finally understand why there are children everywhere here. It turns out that Daming people bought a lot of women, so there are naturally more children."

When Moses heard it, he suddenly realized what he said.

"Yes, there are many children in every household here. People in Daming love to have children. They don't need much money to buy women. They will naturally buy more, and they will naturally have more children."

Atagul nodded and said.

"Where are the male slaves?"

Ali Pasha thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know. Anyway, I rarely see male slaves. Even if there are, they are probably sold to plantations. In the Western Regions, only female slaves are the best sellers."

Ataguli thought for a while, shook his head and said.

In fact, there are some things needless to say, and everyone has already guessed the ending.

The Ming people massacred hundreds of cities on the side of the Ottoman Empire, all of whom were men. As for the women and children, they were sold as slaves to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

"too frightening!"

"In another ten or twenty years, the population of the Ming Dynasty will definitely double. By then, the Ming Empire will become even stronger and more terrifying."

Ali Pasha pondered for a long time, then said in fear.

"It's really scary~"

When Moses heard this, he thought about it and nodded solemnly.

"What's so scary about that?"

"The people of Daming are actually very modest, easy-going, and easy to get along with. Our husband-in-law never beat or scolded us, and he treated us two sisters very well."

Ataguli said with some confusion.

"You don't understand, you are a woman, of course you don't understand this."

"The people of Daming relied on their own strength to expand around the world. They killed men and then snatched women and children. These women gave birth to children for Daming. A man married several wives and gave birth to a bunch of children."

"Think about it, in ten or twenty years, how many people will there be in Daming?"

"At that time, I am afraid that the people of all other countries in the world will not have as many people as Daming."

When Ali Pasha thought of this, he felt terrible. This strategy of the Ming people was enough to lay the foundation for the Ming people to stand for thousands of years.

"But my child also has the blood of our Turkic people flowing in his body, and he is also the descendant of our Turkic people."

When Atagul heard this, she was very puzzled. Women are like this. Their family, country and world are not important to them. They care more about how they live.

"Does your child speak Turkic?"

"Would he consider himself a Turk?"

"I'm afraid not. He only thinks he is from Ming Dynasty, and he only speaks Ming dialect and writes Ming characters."

　Do you think it makes sense?
