Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 522 On The Road

Almost three days had passed by the time Zhao Wen received the military information sent by Zhou Laoliu.

During these three days, Zhou Lao Liu did not move, but stayed where he was, because he didn't know what Zhao Wen's arrangement was, so he didn't move without authorization.

And Zhou Laoqi also led Zhou Laoliu's men and horses to search north, looking for Duoduo's remnant soldiers.

The number of Duduo remnants is relatively small, and they all have war horses, so it is not easy to search.

Zhao Wen rode on a war horse, holding the military information sent by Zhou Laoliu in his hand.

"Little San, tell Lao Liu and the others to send some of these captives to Hetuala, Laozhai, and let them take the rest to the north.

Tell them they can go as far as they can go, until they can go no further.

Go to the northernmost point, let the captives build some simple landmark buildings in place, and then draw a detailed map of the surrounding area and the surrounding environment.After these things are over now, build a city with these landmark buildings as the center. " Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan and said.

Li Xiaosan nodded and hurried down.

A few quarters of an hour later, Li Xiaosan came up with some rice paper on which Zhao Wen's order was written.

These orders were drafted by the military counselor. Although Zhao Wen sometimes wrote the orders himself, he would not write all the orders.

Zhao Wen took the order, looked at the content above, and said, "Let's distribute it like this. My big seal is kept with you. You can seal it yourself. After it is stamped, it will be distributed to them."

Li Xiaosan cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, and ran back.

Not long after, several fast horses headed for the distance.

Zhao Wen led the troops and marched in the direction of Nu'ergan.

Nuergan is located on the west land of Sakhalin Island. It is about 800 kilometers away from Shenyang in a straight line. The actual distance is almost 300 kilometers, which is more than 600 miles. So far from the capital to Chengdu.

"Order the whole army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot." Zhao Wen looked at the sun in the sky and said to Li Xiaosan beside him.

Li Xiaosan followed Zhao Wen's order and hurried to the rear.

At this time, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses plus Mao Wenlong and Bu He had a total of more than 5000 people. The food consumed by so many soldiers and horses on the road was an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, some food was obtained from Shenyang City before, otherwise, it would not be able to last for a long time just relying on the canned food in the army.

When the sun was completely westward, the camp had already been set up.

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent, eating hot canned food, and looking at the map hanging in the big tent.

After a while, Zhao Wen put down the can in his hand, picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and murmured, "We should be in Jilin now, and it is estimated that in a few days we will arrive at the location of the future Changchun."

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Changchun was under the jurisdiction of Sanwanwei, the capital of Liaodong.In the first year of Yongle, it was under the jurisdiction of Yidonghewei, the capital of Nuergan, and it was called Long'an Station.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Wuliangha Sanwei.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a nomadic land of the Horqin tribe.

But in this era, because of the appearance of Zhao Wen, Horqin and Jiannu broke up, which also caused Horqin to lose this nomadic land.

If Horqin lost such a large nomadic land in the past, Buhe would probably cry, but now, Buhe seems to be okay and doesn't care at all.

"Hey, there are still nearly [-] kilometers to reach Nuergan." Zhao Wen looked at the map and sighed.

After dinner, Zhao Wen asked Bu He to come over.

Zhao Wen sat on the main seat in the main hall, looked at Buhe who was sitting opposite him, and asked, "I remember this was your Horqin's nomadic land before?"

Zhao Wen spread Nuergan's map on the table, pointed to the location of Changchun, and looked at Buhe.

Buhe nodded, "That's right, this is a nomadic land of my Horqin. My Horqin is one of the largest tribes on the grassland. When it was strong, it spanned the entire northeastern part of Liaodong. Unfortunately, since the fall with Jiannu, I, Horqin, have also lost this nomadic land."

"Are you familiar with the road conditions here? If a city is built here, where do you think it should be located?" Zhao Wen then asked.

Buhe looked at the map and fell into deep thought.After a long time, Bu He said: "I haven't been here for many years, and I dare not say that I am very familiar with the situation here.

Originally, all the places here were my Horqin grazing land, but since I fell out with Jiannu, I have never been here again, and I don’t know what has changed here, so I dare not say where it is suitable to build a city. "

Buhe pointed to the large area of ​​Jilin in later generations, and said to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen originally wanted to build the city directly at the location of Changchun, but the current conditions and environment are very different from those of later generations. Zhao Wen can't guarantee that the current location of Changchun is definitely suitable for building the city, so he specifically asked Buhe, after all, it used to be Horqin grazing land.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get there." Seeing that Bu He couldn't explain why, Zhao Wen had no choice but to give up the idea.

"My lord, during these years when Jiannu ruled across Liaodong, the original territory of Nuer Gandusi also fell into Jiannu's hands, but what Jiannu valued was the Central Plains and the capital city, not this place.

Although Jiannu also built a city here, compared with Liaodong, the city is much worse.

There are not many slave soldiers stationed here. Their main purpose is to collect taxes and capture wild men in the mountains.

In the mountains to the north and east, where there are no people, they are full of wildlings.If ordinary people go in, they will be eaten by wild beasts within a few days, which means that wild people can survive. "

After Nurhachi unified Liaodong, the original Nuergandusi was also occupied by Nurhachi, but the temptation for Nurhachi here is obviously not as good as that of the Central Plains.

When the Ming Dynasty first established the Nuer Gandu Division, the entire Northeast and most of the Far East were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, because of the cold weather and the sparse population, many places here are primeval forests.

During the Yongle period, although the entire Nuergandusi was included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, there were not many Han people in the land of Nuergandusi. Except for the soldiers sent by Emperor Yongle, there were hardly any Han people. .

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the perennial wars decreased sharply, and a lot of people were lost in the battle of Jingnan. Therefore, in the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle did not have enough people to immigrate to Nuergandusi, so he had to go to Liaodong first. Regional immigration.

The notice of the Ming Dynasty to the Nuer Gandu Division was not as stable as that in the Central Plains. Although it is said that there were many guard commanders and thousands of households waiting for the army in the Nuer Gandu Division, there were very few of them that really belonged to the Ming army, and even more Most of them are local leaders who rewarded them.The Ming Dynasty's rule over Nuer Gandusi is like the suzerain state over the vassal state.

But from the beginning to the end, the leaders of the various ministries in the Nuer Gandu Division were dominated by Daming.

Especially Haixi Jurchen,
The Haixi Jurchen is a tribe living in this land. If it wasn't for the strong rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen, who beat the Haixi Jurchen to the ground, it is estimated that the Haixi Jurchen would not have such people as Jiannu.

Moreover, the establishment of Nuer Gandusi is inseparable from an eunuch named Yiyaha, and this Yiyaha is the Haixi Jurchen.

The establishment of the Nuer Gandu Division in the Ming Dynasty brought advanced production methods and production tools to the people living here.

Therefore, the people here do not reject the setting up of the Nuer Gandu Division in Ming Dynasty, and are even very willing to accept it.

"Savage? Are you talking about Wild Jurchen?" Zhao Wen looked at Buhe and asked with some doubts.

"That's right, the wildlings are the wild Jurchens. These people are not so easy to get along with. These people are unruly and savage. They live in the mountains further north and east, and make a living by hunting and fishing.

Among Nurhachi's Eight Banners, the most powerful one is the wild Jurchen he captured here.Wild girls are really natural fighters, and their fighting power is amazing. "After all, Buhe has herded herds here before, so he has a better understanding of these things.

"Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen are called mature Jurchen, while those who live in the mountains are called wild Jurchen.

How should I put it, sometimes I also feel that these wild girls are really pitiful.

These people have never been out of the mountains, and the bows and arrows used for hunting are all arrowheads made of bones.If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, I am afraid that many people will starve to death and freeze to death.The clothes they wear are also made of animal skins, and they don't even know what cotton padded clothes are.

During the period of the post-Jin rule, Jiannu often sent troops to the mountains to capture wild Jurchens.You have never seen that scene. When Buhe thought of the scene when Nurhachi captured the wild Jurchen in the mountains, he suddenly became embarrassed.

"I was lucky enough to go there once with Nurhaci, and I also saw how they captured wild Jurchens.

You may not believe it when you say it, but Nurhachi is really ruthless.Although the wild Jurchens are not convinced by Wang Hua, they also have villages and tribes, but these villages and tribes are very small.

When Nurhachi captured the wild Jurchen, in order to stimulate the wildness of the wild Jurchen, after capturing a suitable wild Jurchen, he would slaughter all the family members and villages of the wild Jurchen.

I don't know how many villages of wild Jurchens were destroyed by Nurhachi.

In addition to arresting the wild Jurchens, Nurhachi also collected taxes on these wild Jurchens, but the tax was too high. If anyone dared to refuse to pay, they would be punished at least, or even killed. "

What Buhe said was right. Since Nurhaci unified the Jurchen ministries, it didn't take long for Nuer Gandusi to take over.

After taking over, Nurhachi left some soldiers and horses in these places, but the number of soldiers and horses was not many.

The main purpose of the soldiers and horses Nurhachi stayed behind was not to consolidate the territory, but to capture wild Jurchens and collect taxes.

Although the soldiers and horses left behind were not strong, they had armor and steel knives after all, so they were not something Ye Nuzhen could deal with at all.

The weapons used by Ye Juzhen are basically wooden spears, without even armor, so how can they be the opponents of these people?

It can be said that the rise of Houjin contains too much blood and tears of the wild Jurchens.

These wild Jurchens are also very miserable. From the beginning to the end, Nurhachi has never seen them directly. In Nurhachi's eyes, these people are just pawns for him to realize his ambition.

In fact, it was not only Nurhachi who bullied the wild Jurchens. When the Cossacks marched into the Far East, they slaughtered many wild Jurchen tribes.

Especially the Cossacks, to a certain extent, the Kazakhs cleaned the wild Jurchen more thoroughly than Nurhachi.

"Now Jiannu's soldiers and horses have been wiped out. According to the results of the previous interrogation, Huang Taiji mobilized all the troops he could mobilize when defending Shenyang City and Liaoyang City. It is estimated that at this time, this place There should be no soldiers and horses to build slaves. In other words, there should be a power vacuum here now. We will take these places at this time, and it will hardly take any effort." Zhao Wen looked at the places in Changchun and the north of Changchun in the later generations, As far as the outer Xing'an Mountains, he murmured.

The distribution area of ​​the Jurchens is very wide, from the Outer Xing'an Mountains to Liaodong, there are Jurchens.

It's just that unlike Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen, these people are not recognized by Nurhachi.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court called these people just savages.

"My lord, to be honest, I don't really want my lord to include these lands in the territory. There is nothing valuable on this land, and wild beasts are rampant in it. It is of no use to us to take it down. It costs a lot of money and food." Bu He looked at Zhao Wen and spoke his mind.

Zhao Wenchang sighed, "Actually, you are not the only one who said these things to me, many people have said these things to me.

Nuer Gandusi looks very poor, with wild beasts running rampant, but some values ​​​​can't be reflected now.

As for when the value of Nuer Gandusi will be fully reflected, I can't say, it will take a hundred years at the earliest. Zhao Wen looked at Bu He and explained slowly.

After Zhao Wen finished explaining, he turned his attention to the map of Nuer Gandusi.

After a while, Zhao Wen let out a long breath and said, "Okay, you can go find it, you have to hurry tomorrow."

Bu He nodded, stood up from the chair, cupped his hands at Zhao Wen, and then walked outside.

After Buhe walked out, Zhao Wen looked at the map of Nuer Gandusi for a while, took out a few pieces of rice paper, and wrote some suggestions for Nuer Gandusi on the rice paper.

Developing Nuer Gandusi is not something that can be done overnight, and there are too many things involved, so Zhao Wen couldn't help but think about it in advance.

After doing all this, the time has come to the middle of the night.

Zhao Wen bound the things he had written, stored them, and lay down on the bed.

　Thanks for the reward from the sunshine in summer, thank you for your support! ! !
