Work overtime

Chapter 800

The same strategy was adopted for the military advisor. However, this military advisor was very special. He had a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, was very vigilant, and had a strong sense of self-awareness, so the obedient talisman was directly ineffective and the loyalty talisman was not very effective.

Jiang Yuebai changed his approach.

Every day, he was invited to drink and chat. He did not talk about surrendering, but talked about the local customs and habits, the customs of the Jurchens, etc. After drinking and chatting, he arranged for beautiful women to serve him. After ten days, the loyalty talisman was used again and it took effect immediately. It can be seen how important it is to win the heart.

Jiang Yuebai gave him a Han Chinese name, Zhong Xin.

She used these two people to manage the prisoners, and ordered them to kill their subordinates if they were disobedient and destroyed the relationship between the Han and Jurchen peoples.

Jiang Yuebai first arranged for the two of them to conduct military exercises with the Jurchen rebels under their supervision. Soon, those who disobeyed and wanted to resist or escape were killed. At night, they reported to Jiang Yuebai separately about the day's exercises, the performance of the personnel, and the reasons for the killings. This allowed the two to check each other and not dare to lie or have any ulterior motives.

After training for a period of time, when they no longer kill people, it means that the personnel has stabilized.

Jiang Yuebai then separated them completely, gave them some silver for basic living, registered them in the local household register, and managed them as permanent residents.

During the time they were held captive, Jiang Yuebai gave them sterilization powder, so they would never be able to have children for the rest of their lives. This was the price they paid for murdering the Ninth Prince.

In several large towns in Liaoning, brothels were opened, and the tea provided to the guests was filled with fertility powder. Zhong Zhen and Zhong Xin were appointed to entertain Jurchen nobles or village and tribal leaders to the brothels for drinking and entertainment, and all expenses were reimbursed.

Three days later, Jiang Yuebai celebrated Xiaojiu's 40th birthday and cooked a meal for him personally, all of which were Twenty's favorite dishes. At the end, he played the birthday song for Xiaojiu on a bamboo flute, and Xiaojiu was as happy as a child.

Both of them missed their childhood and missed the late Emperor Li Beichen and other brothers and sisters.

The arrow pierced Xiaojiu's lung, causing serious injuries. He often suffered from shortness of breath and coughing, and the cough affected the wound, so he took a year to recover.

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the following year, the 24th year of Jiashun.

When Xiaojiu's eldest son turned sixteen, Xiaojiu petitioned the emperor to confer the title of Crown Prince on his eldest son and to grant him a marriage. The emperor married the daughter of the leader of the Taining Guard, one of the three Wuliangha Guards, to the Crown Prince.

Xiaojiu's first four daughters were either married to local Jurchen leaders or were granted marriages and brought back to the capital.

In February of that year, Xiaojiu's princess and concubine were both found to be pregnant.

In March, Tana gave birth to Meng Shu's eldest daughter. It was said that General Meng cried with joy while holding his daughter, and got drunk with his brother that night.

By May, Jiang Yuebai was sure that his youngest son, Xiaojiu, had almost recovered before he set out to visit his third son.

This time the two brothers were very cautious. Not only did the third brother personally bring people to pick them up, but the ninth brother also mobilized people to send them off.

Jiang Yuebai arrived safely at the easternmost part of China. The territory at that time was not as big as it would be in later times. It was really huge. The Far East Protectorate was located in a place called Miaotun in later times. The area south of the Greater Khingan Range to the sea was all Ming territory. KY Island was called Kuwu at that time and was still Ming territory. The guard post Nanghar Guard was built on it.

The area from the north of Heilongjiang to the Greater Khingan Range to the sea alone is about 100 million square kilometers. The natural port of Vladivostok also belongs to China.

No wonder the third brother let his three sons take care of one piece of land each, the place is really big.

There are large tracts of fertile black soil, seas rich in fishery resources, and large tracts of forests rich in forest products. In reality, the Qing Dynasty later banned the Han people from living and developing in this area, which became a no-man's land and was occupied by a certain country without a single soldier.

Jiang Yuebai certainly wouldn't let this happen.

Many years ago, she had been exiling the families of criminals, and the people from the Yellow River flood areas such as Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, as well as the wealthy people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were skilled in business and farming moved here.

After three decades and nearly two generations of reproduction, these people have multiplied and integrated with local ethnic minorities and have become very prosperous. Many Korean and Japanese people and merchants moved to this area because of the friendly relations between the two countries and conducted border trade, forming a unique commercial district.

Two years ago, two princesses were sent from Japan and Korea. The Korean princess married the legitimate son of the sixth uncle who was stationed in Anxi Protectorate, while the Japanese princess stayed in the harem and was named Concubine Yi.

This year, the Third Prince married his daughter to a Korean nobleman, and his son married another Korean nobleman. Both nobles were important officials in the court of the Joseon Kingdom.

The third son had a good relationship with Han Suxin, the daughter of Han Ziqian's elder brother. They had a child almost every other year, and had two sets of twins. So even if he didn't take a concubine, he still had quite a few children.

His children either married to Korea or Japan, or were forcibly dispersed throughout the Far East Protectorate. In particular, his daughters who did not marry abroad were married to the sons of tribal leaders in different regions for the purpose of governance. Except for a few, his marriage partners were basically ethnic minorities.

Not only that, he also married daughters of minority nobles and concubines to his sons as concubines, further expanding his network of relationships. The children of princesses and princes were all married, and each of them had strong fertility, and almost all of them could have two children in three years.

After such a series of operations, it can be said that the entire Far East Protectorate area is now related to the third brother in a roundabout way.

The third brother has figured out the marriage trick. When asked, he said that his arm was broken and it was difficult to fight, so he made a lot of friends, all of whom were relatives.

Jiang Yuebai was shocked by the third brother's strong reproductive and management abilities, so he rewarded him with five beautiful concubines.

The third child said innocently, "Mother, aren't you harming me? Su Xin will definitely not like me anymore."

"No. Mother is helping you to better implement the marriage strategy." Jiang Yuebai smiled, "If it doesn't work, I'll go and persuade Su Xin."

The third brother hurriedly said, "Don't. The son should coax his son's wife."

Jiang Yuebai followed the third son to travel all over the Far East Protectorate from south to north and from east to west. He was amazed by the rich resources in the northeast. At that time, the area around Vladivostok had not really developed yet, and it was just a village that gathered spontaneously. Jiang Yuebai told his son to station troops here, build a city with walls, and build a complete city. Sakhalin Island must be garrisoned and residents must be resettled.

When he arrived in the Northeast, Jiang Yuebai saw what it meant to have a door blocked by heavy snow. The door was blocked by a person-high snow. If you walk in the snow, you can be buried directly. He also experienced what it meant to have your breath turn into ice. Even having a runny nose was a luxury because the snot froze into popsicles. He also experienced what it meant to be dressed as a big bear and fall flat on your face.

We ate a lot of interesting foods, such as frozen pears and frozen persimmons.

We ate the most delicious roasted lamb leg, which was so delicious. There were also various nourishing pots stewed with wild delicacies, which made us feel warm and excited. Men also had deer blood, a super tonic, to drink. After drinking it, they became as strong as an ox and could plow the fields without stopping.

Jiang Yuebai finally understood why the third brother and his children were so fertile. It turned out that they had been taking supplements since they were young, so their blood was very strong.

There are too many days of snow in the Northeast, so just walking and turning slowly, another three years passed.

Because Jiang Yuebai wanted to take a boat from Vladivostok to Korea and Japan to visit his two daughters, the third son spent three years building a boat with the help of craftsmen sent by Emperor Li Hongyuan.

During these three years, she lived in various places in Northeast China. In addition to understanding the local customs, she also trained teachers to teach language, mathematics, science, and morality, especially mathematics. There is basically no problem with Mongolian courses in this area. Historically, they have lived together with the Mongolians and basically speak Mongolian.

Because there are many ethnic minorities in the Northeast, the education level is generally not high. Therefore, the school-running force is insufficient, and the level of teachers in various subjects is also limited. She gathered the single-subject teachers in a region for training, and took them from the first grade to the sixth grade to provide guidance and answer questions.

He also wrote a letter to the emperor's grandson, asking him to transfer a total of 100 excellent teachers of these four subjects from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hubei and other regions. These teachers were divided into five teachers per subject in each region of east, west, south, north and center. Then these teachers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions would lead local teachers in teaching to improve the quality of local education.

In the spring of the 28th year of Jiashun, the fleet was completed. Jiang Yuebai, escorted by his guards, visited Korea and Japan. The old king of Korea died a year ago, and Xiao Shi's son became the new king. The queen was Li Hongyuan's elder sister, the eldest princess Li Zhihan.

Jiang Yuebai stood on the boat and was excited and moved when she saw Xiao Shishi, who was dressed elegantly, had delicate makeup and gray hair. Her Xiao Shishi was 45 years old this year, and she had become the queen mother and had grandchildren.

After getting off the boat, the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, their eyes filled with tears of excitement.

She couldn't help but sigh that her daughter had grown old, with white hair and wrinkles.

Jiang Yuebai lived in North Korea for a month. Xiao Shi lived in North Korea for nearly 30 years. There were too many hardships. The mother and daughter had endless things to say. They often held hands and cried. As women in the deep palace, they understood each other's ups and downs better.

It was at this time that Jiang Yuebai learned that before his daughter married, she already had a lover, Lu Changlin's younger brother, Lu Changfeng, who was also studying at Chongwenguan. But the emperor brother granted the marriage, and the queen mother had a complete fall-out with the emperor brother over this matter. So she had to reluctantly marry him.

Jiang Yuebai thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember whose daughter Lu Changfeng married or how many children he had.

He quickly asked if anyone among the entourage knew about Lu Changlin's situation.

An old doctor said that Lu Changlin passed the imperial examination and was ranked third in the imperial examination. His brother was ranked first in the imperial examination, and he was ranked third in the imperial examination. There is no other combination like this.

Later, Lu Changfeng married the daughter of Chu Hehai, the Minister of Works, and had two sons and three daughters. The youngest daughter was about ten years old. The eldest daughter was married by the emperor to a sixth-rank official of the Tuerhut ethnic minority in the court, and the children seemed to be more than ten years old.

Xiao Shi said that she did not hate her brother the emperor, nor did she hate her mother, and she was very grateful to her mother for opposing her marriage to North Korea. She once suspected that her mother had discovered her feelings, and she was secretly moved.

Listening to her daughter's worries from those years, listening to her sensible way of comforting her brother, and remembering her daughter's considerate words to comfort her, Jiang Yuebai felt heartbroken and really didn't know what to say. She was so sad.

Xiao Shi could have married her childhood sweetheart, a scholar who had won the imperial examination, and her sister-in-law would be her aunt Lu Jinshu, who was cheerful, talkative and amiable, and her mother-in-law would be Mrs. Lu, who was well-educated, well-mannered and easy to get along with, and they could have had a bunch of lively and lovely children.

When I have nothing to do, I can often go home to visit and eat with my mother, whisper in her ear, and chat with my aunt about shopping, raising children, and family matters.
What a smooth and happy life that would be.
