Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1455, Minority Tribal Scholars and Recruits Entering Beijing

"woooo~"

"Keng ~ rub, clang ~ rub ~"

The Beijing Xijiazi 026 train from the Western Regions to the Ming Dynasty capital made bursts of sirens, and the sound echoed between the open and open mountain foothills, and continued to echo in the distant valleys. The sound was melodious and long, as if the mountain gods were walking The voice is average.

Li Nanyun was dressed in a long robe, holding a volume of Tang poetry anthology in his hand, immersed in the beautiful world of poems and songs with relish, shaking his head from time to time, recited aloud, and even admired when he read something exquisite.

"Among the colorful clouds of Chaoci Baidi, thousands of miles of rivers and tombs return in one day, the sound of apes on both sides of the bank can't stop, the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains!"

"Back when Li Taibai traveled down the Yangtze River by boat, a thousand miles could be covered in a day, so there must be some exaggeration in it. Now I take the train, but I can really travel thousands of miles in a day."

"From the Western Regions to the capital, thousands of miles away, it only takes a few days, and there is no travel and fatigue. If Li Taibai was alive, I am afraid that he would have to write another poem through the ages."

Li Nanyun gently put down the book in his hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The train from Daming to the Western Regions has just been completed and opened to traffic recently. At this moment, the train shuttles at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, looking at it from afar.

The white-capped snow-capped mountains in the distance are extremely holy and charming like virgins; on the mountainside are lush grasses, where you can see patches of cattle and sheep foraging freely, and the herdsmen are singing songs and enjoying the good time.

At the foot of the mountain is a town, vast farmland, and a dense forest in the distance, a river that winds down like a jade belt.

The scenery is so beautiful and picturesque that people can't help but be intoxicated by it.

"This brother, Wang Qi in the middle of the river, I wonder if I can sit with you?"

Just as Li Nanyun was immersed in the beautiful scenery outside the car window, someone came over and asked, saluting.

"Please sit~please sit~"

Li Nanyun came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, signaling to the other party to please feel free.

Then he took a closer look at Wang Qi, who was also dressed as a scholar like himself, and there was a book boy behind him, but this book boy was not Han, but blond and blue-eyed like himself.

Wang Qi was also carefully looking at Li Nanyun in front of him. Although he was dressed like a scholar, his hair was standing up high. He used a hairpin and wore a jade pendant.

It's just that the other party is tall, with a high nose and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, and there is no doubt that he is not a Han Chinese.

"Brother Wang, this is Li Nanyun, from Nanyun Province!"

Li Nanyun smiled and introduced himself to Wang Qi. The two sides exchanged polite greetings and then sat down. The carriage they were traveling in was a first-class carriage, which was somewhat different from ordinary carriages. There were fewer people, more space, and a separate private bedroom. There are also places where you can sit and drink tea, chat, read books, and read newspapers together.

"Nanyun province?"

"I see. Brother Li must have gone to the capital to take the imperial examination, right?"

When Wang Qi heard it, he immediately understood after a little thought.

"Ashamed ~ ashamed ~"

"Thanks to the grace of the Son of Heaven, I am honored to go to the capital to study. I dare not have extravagant expectations, but if I can learn a thing or two from my outstanding Ming students, it will be enough to benefit my whole life."

Li Nanyun is very humble.

Last year, Nanyun Province held the triennial rural examination. He is a native of Xiji Hong Kong. He has studied in private schools and academies opened by the local government since he was a child.

Even though he is from the Caucasus and not from the Ming Dynasty, he is very talented in reading. He can almost never forget many things. In the private school, he can learn better than many Han children, and he is deeply loved by the teachers in the private school. like.

When he participated in the township examination last year, he won the Jieyuan in one fell swoop, so that the chief envoy of Nanyun Province praised him full of praise, bluntly saying that he has a bright future.

Because Li Nanyun himself is a Caucasian, a local native of Nanyun Province, he won the first place in the rural examination and became Jieyuan. The news spread in Nanyun Province, and the local Caucasians and Georgians in Nanyun Province were greatly encouraged. Many celebrations were held happily, and a lot of money was raised for Li Nanyun to support him to go to the capital to participate in the examination.

For these local people in Nanyun Province, they have always been weak and bullied and invaded by powerful foreign nations and countries. Only the Son of Heaven regards them as his own subjects and treats them like the Han people. There is no discrimination, prejudice, or oppression.

In addition, the Ming Empire is extremely powerful and is the most powerful country in the world. Under many policies, the local Caucasians and Georgians in Nanyun Province have a greater sense of identity with Daming than people anywhere in Daming.

The original tribal consciousness has gradually faded and blurred, and the identity of the Ming people has gained more and more recognition and support. At the same time, everyone feels that they are the people of the Emperor of Ming, and they must always be loyal to the Emperor of Ming and the Empire of Ming!

Last year, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty also conferred the title of Concubine Yun, who was born in Nanyun Province, and Concubine Yun is already pregnant, and will soon be a branch of the Ming royal family.

For the people in Nanyun Province, this is undoubtedly a feeling of being recognized.

The Son of Heaven treats them the same as he treats the Han people, treating them as his own people.

These have increased the cohesion of the people of Nanyun Province and made them feel like Daming.

"Brother Li is being modest~"

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Although I am from Hezhong, I have never been to Nanyun Province. I heard people say that Nanyun Province is extremely beautiful, with waterfalls and springs, clouds and mists, and the beauty of heaven, earth and hills."

"Haha, because there are many mountains and rivers in our Nanyun Province, there are indeed many extremely beautiful places, such as Saifan Lake, Nanyun Waterfall, Nanyun Snow Mountain, etc., the scenery is extremely beautiful."

"However, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. I don't know how many mountains and rivers there are. I don't know how many places with beautiful scenery. Didn't the newspapers say that the tropical scenery of Nanyang is beautiful, enjoy the beach and sunshine, and have some coconuts."

"The prairie in the middle of the river, galloping horses, the sky and the earth are long, let you fly freely like a Kunpeng; the Liaodong grain area, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the golden wheat waves are choppy."

"There is also the Golden Continent, Australia, the vast northern land, there are too many, too many magnificent mountains and rivers, beautiful mountains and rivers."

Li Nanyun smiled happily, and introduced the beautiful scenic spots in Nanyun Province to Wang Qi. At the same time, he also looked forward to traveling around Daming and seeing the sun, moon, mountains and rivers of Daming.

"What brother Li said is true. My Daming has beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, and there are too many, too many places worth visiting."

Wang Qi also nodded solemnly.

Soon, the two chatted hotly.

Although Li Nanyun is a Caucasian, there is a huge difference in appearance from the Han people, but there is no barrier in language communication. At the same time, they are both scholars, and they have many common topics, and they are very happy to chat.

We have been chatting slowly from all over the world, to the current situation of Daming, and then to this test, we have a very happy chat!
Meanwhile, here in a few ordinary cars of the same train.

There are quite a few carriages packed by the military. Inside the carriages are rows of recruits wearing brand-new military uniforms. Each of these recruits wears red flowers on their chests, and their hair is all shaved. They have different looks, and there are huge differences in appearance.

There are tall Caucasians with tall noses, deep eyes, and yellowish hair from Nanyun Province. Of course, they all call themselves Nanyun Province people now, and they no longer call themselves Caucasians or Georgians.

There are also Mongolians from the grasslands of the Western Regions. Although they are not tall, their shoulders are very broad, giving people a very heavy feeling. They have square faces and straight black hair.

There are also recruits from various tribes in the Western Regions. Each of them has a very different appearance from the Han people, but most of them are tall and strong, and each of them looks like a strong man who has been selected from thousands of people.

Monte sat at a position by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, but his eyes were full of longing for the future military life.

Monte is a local native of Nanyun Province and a Georgian. He used to follow his parents and rely on herding for a living. Later, Nanyun Province was included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

His parents were also employed as ranchers of the Montessori Ranch, responsible for grazing cattle, sheep and horses for the Montessori Ranch. Therefore, in the great wave of Sinicization in Nanyun Province, the Montes family followed the owner of the Montessori Ranch and changed their surname to Meng , That's how Monte got his name.

Monte is tall and strong. This time, the locals of Nanyun Province also have some quotas for the conscription, which makes the locals of Nanyun Province extremely excited.

Especially the local youths were very excited.

As the westernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty, Nanyun Province had to face the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire and Europe, so it had always had a large army stationed and guarded. At the same time, there was also a powerful Black Sea Fleet on the Black Sea side.

Therefore, in Nanyun Province, soldiers are very common.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wore handsome clothes, rode tall horses, and coupled with uniform steps and postures, etc., they looked very handsome and heroic.

In addition, the Ming army taught the Ottoman Empire a lesson, and the locals in Nanyun Province have been bullied by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, which can be said to give them a hard blow,
The income and treatment of the soldiers are very high, so the locals in Nanyun Province worship the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty very much. Countless girls dream of marrying the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and countless teenagers dream of joining the army one day to serve the Ming Dynasty and tomorrow son.

Now it's finally here.

After layers of screening, it can be said that it is one in a million. With his tall figure, strong physique, handsome appearance and fluent Daming dialect, plus the fact that Monte's parents are excellent employees of Montessori Ranch, he was finally able to be lucky. Become a recruit representing the local people of Nanyun Province to join the army, have the opportunity to go to the capital to receive recruit training, and have the opportunity to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, defend the country, and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.
