In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 206 Great Reunion

It was not until late May that Zhang Xiuying and Mrs. Niu arrived with a large force for naturalization.

The 25 traitor soldiers led by Shang Kexi arrived two days ago, and 15 shi of grain were eaten by them, leaving only [-].

Since the main force came here for grazing, the 10 people mainly ate beef and mutton jerky. In two months, they only consumed 30 shi of food, leaving about 150 million shi. So for now, the Lin family The army's food is enough for everyone to eat every day and for another year.

The arrival of tens of thousands of people suddenly made the entire twenty-mile radius of Guihua City lively.

The first place Lin Rui settled was the twelve tribes that moved together, a total of more than 7000 herdsmen. They were temporarily resettled in the area west of Guihua and east of the Yellow River. The excess war horses were also given to them for grazing.

The cattle and sheep of these twelve tribes have basically been eaten on the road. From now on, they will no longer raise cattle and sheep, but will specialize in raising horses. The necessary materials and food will be provided by the Lin Jiajun.

All twelve tribes accepted this with joy. After all, raising horses was much easier than raising cattle and sheep.

After settling the twelve tribes, Lin Rui did not rush to arrange tasks, but first asked the ladies to count and classify everyone.

Likewise, there was no rush to discuss matters such as the title of the country and the opening of a mansion, but planned to discuss it together after Na Muzhong arrived.

With Zhang Han assisting her, more than 100 scholars, more than 100 experienced wives, and more than 3000 literate young ladies and maids, Zhang Xiuying managed tens of millions of people in an orderly manner, allowing Lin Rui can focus on reorganizing the army and rewarding meritorious soldiers.

After all, the entire Lin family army has long been looking forward to the reward, especially the Mongolian cavalry.

Lin Rui didn't keep them waiting for long. Five days later, a vigorous promotion and promotion ceremony was held in the south of the city.

Huang Ben and Takuyan were directly promoted to lieutenant generals over the rank of staff generals. Eight infantry battalion commanders were promoted to staff generals. Shang Kexi and Zhang Cunren were also awarded the rank of staff generals. Dozens of other Han generals, including The ten Mongolian generals were all called partial generals.

Almost every general and ordinary soldier below the rank of general has been promoted to at least one level.

Then came the rewards, no gold, silver, or land, just women and titles.

Of the more than 8 Jurchen adult female captives, 2 were rewarded to more than [-] Mongolian cavalry, with a minimum of two for each of them.

And according to the level of military rank, the quality and status of women obtained by each person are also different.

The higher the military rank, the higher the status of the woman you get, such as Huang Taiji's concubine Batma Hong. Lin Rui didn't want it, so he gave it to Takuyan.

For example, of Huang Taiji's two daughters, one of them, Lin Rui, was given to Huang Ben, while the other was intended to be left to Ebutu. As for the other ten concubines, they were also given to the Han ginseng general and the Mongolian leader. Will.

Lin Rui also planned to keep the remaining [-] female captives and reward them to the Mongolian cavalry in Mobei.

As for the nearly 15 ordinary Han infantry, most of them already have one or two Mongolian girls, plus there are [-] Han women, especially the young ladies, so Lin Rui does not intend to reward them with Jurchen female prisoners. .

After all, Lin Rui was still very resistant from the bottom of his heart to rewarding Han women or marrying Mongolian cavalry. Even if a Han woman voluntarily married a Mongolian cavalry in the future, the Mongolian cavalry would have to change her Han name, tie her hair, and practice Chinese etiquette.

Perhaps the Mongolian cavalry also felt this, or perhaps it was the strong attraction and integration of Chinese culture. In fact, many Mongolian generals now basically have their hair tied, and they usually speak Chinese, and the relevant etiquette is based on that of Han generals. of.

Ordinary Mongolian cavalry can basically speak Chinese.

Han women were reluctant to give rewards, but Lin Rui, the three thousand Korean maids, did not feel sorry at all. Two thousand of them were rewarded to generals of more than [-] households in Mongolia, and the remaining one thousand were planned to stay in the palace to serve in the future.

As for the more than 7 traitor soldiers and the more than 5 ordinary Han men, they were all very envious when they saw this extremely spectacular scene of dividing women.

But except for Shang Kexi, who had rewarded a concubine of Huang Taiji, no one else, not even Zhang Cunren, was rewarded with a woman, because they had not made meritorious service, and according to the rules of the Lin family army, women could not be rewarded.

However, those who have reached the military rank can choose from the more than [-] Han women, but the prerequisite is that they are willing.

However, most of those Han women were captured by the Jurchen slaves, and their relatives also died at the hands of the Jurchens.

Therefore, almost no one is willing to follow these traitor soldiers, because they all want to marry a real Han from the Lin family army.

After all, the teenagers at the time have now grown into young men in their early twenties. Coupled with the long-term ideological and cultural education and battle training, each of them has grown into a true soldier who is calm, determined and confident.

He is no longer as cowardly and humble as before. If Lin Rui hadn't temporarily restricted Zhang Xiuying's marriage applications, each of them would have already had wives and concubines, and even the ladies would probably have to agree to be their concubines.

These more than 2 young soldiers were Lin Rui's true direct lineage and support in conquering the world in the future. Lin Rui naturally would not let them waste their energy on women's bellies now.

After all, these young men can still restrain themselves when faced with Mongolian girls and ordinary Chinese women, but if they are replaced by ladies and wealthy women, they may not be able to restrain themselves so easily. They may have to ask for leave every three days, so unless They were promoted to general, otherwise Lin Rui would not let them get involved with the young lady and his wife.

Although more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Lin Family Army are divided into women, many of whom have more than one, men and women are still required to live separately in daily life, and all are under military management. They must also take leave and apply for sex in accordance with the number of times prescribed by the Lin Family Army each month.

There is nothing we can do about this. First of all, there are not so many separate houses and tents to live in. Secondly, if polygamists live together every day, then there will be no war.

Under the current conditions, generals above the general level could only build an earthen house in the inner city, where they could live with their women at night.

Others, including Qianhu, must live in the military camp, and women must be handed over to the rear camp for unified management.

As the statistics and registers were completed, the craftsmen looking for mines also returned one after another. For the time being, they only found one coal mine and one lime mine in the Yinshan Mountains in the north. But for now, the needs for city construction have been met, so there is no need to fight. The staff also started vigorous construction, and both men and women had to work.

Those who transport rocks and wood, those who dig and transport coal, those who make bricks and burn tiles, those who dig foundations and ram walls...

Under the command of more than 100 scholars, the respective teams worked enthusiastically and in an orderly manner.

Regarding the construction of the city and houses, Lin Rui left all the responsibility to Zhang Han, while Zhang Xiuying was responsible for the logistics and internal affairs. Takuyan and Huang Ben were responsible for security with [-] real Lin family troops.Lin Rui himself took thousands of carts, loaded with large amounts of water and food, to Mobei to meet Namuzhong and the others.

After all, it is not easy for a large migration of 10 people to cross hundreds of miles of Gobi desert, even in spring and summer.

Lin Rui only brought a thousand cavalry and five thousand drivers with him, so he traveled very fast, traveling almost a hundred miles a day. Six days later, he encountered a team that was migrating slowly in the Gobi.

On the endless Gobi desert, streams of people were slowly moving southward, mixed with large vehicles.

The cavalry were weaving in and out of the crowd, and the scene was very spectacular.

"Namuzhong..."

"Rui Lang..."

Before Lin Rui could reach the carriage, Na Muzhong jumped out of the carriage with her child in her arms and rushed forward with tears in her eyes.

Before Lin Rui waited for the horse to stop, he jumped directly, rushed up and hugged the mother and daughter tightly. Apparently, he had learned from Tan Ma that Na Muzhong had given birth to a daughter for him. .

It wasn't until he held the mother and daughter in his arms that Lin Rui's heart, which had been tugging at him, completely relaxed at this moment.

For more than half a year, it can be said that he has been worried about Namuzhong and the child in his belly all the time. After all, the fertility conditions in ancient times were poor, and it was in a place like Mobei where birds don't poop. How can anyone be reassured?

"Is this our daughter? She's so old, please let me hold her..."

After letting go, Lin Rui couldn't wait to snatch the child from her arms. Looking at her daughter who was wrapped tightly, only a pink and jade face was exposed, Lin Rui couldn't help but kiss her.

Seeing his daughter open her eyes, her eyes were spinning and staring straight at him. At this moment, Lin Rui was as happy as a child and almost stopped dancing.

"Rui Lang, it's all useless to me. I only gave you a daughter..."

Na Muzhong blamed herself for being a little disappointed.

I hate that my belly has failed to live up to expectations, and I have given birth to a daughter. I have hardly been happy in the past six months.

"Hey, my daughter is so good. Look how cute she is. She will definitely be prettier than you when she grows up, right? Baby..."

Lin Rui didn't care, and started teasing his daughter again as he spoke, unwilling to let go.

Seeing Lin Rui holding her daughter up high for a while, and teasing her nonstop for a while, she really liked her very much, and Na Muzhong felt much better.

At this time, Ha Beier, Mrs. Lu, Zhou Meng and others also came over. Everyone stood aside and did not dare to disturb Lin Rui. Only Ha Bei Er waited for a while and couldn't help but rush forward.

"Husband..."

"Belle, this time I brought Abba and the tribe to the Hetao. You can see them when we get back."

Lin Rui then handed the daughter in his arms to Na Mu Zhong, hugged Ha Beier and smiled.

"Husband, I also want to give you a child, okay?"

Habeier, however, ignored her tribe and her father, and instead threw herself into Lin Rui's arms and whispered. She had obviously grown up.

"Okay, I'll give birth when I get back."

"And madam, don't worry about it anymore, just go back and get another one."

Lin Rui nodded immediately, then hugged Na Muzhong and comforted him. Then he greeted everyone one by one, and then got into the carriage with Na Muzhong and his daughter.

"Rui Lang, did you really conquer Shengjing?"

"Haha, not only did we defeat Shengjing, we returned with a full load this time, and we don't have to worry about the Jurchens coming to attack us again for a few years..."

Lin Rui laughed, and then patiently explained to her, from going south to Horqin to migrating to the Hetao.

Na Muzhong was fascinated by what she heard, and felt very regretful that she could not participate in such a wonderful and exciting battle.

Next, perhaps knowing that better days were waiting for them in the Hetao, almost everyone quickened their pace, hoping to reach the Hetao immediately.

Even the old, weak, women and children of the [-] Tu Xie Tu tribe were forced to speed up in order to keep up with the team.

In this way, in early June, a migration team of [-] people finally passed through the Yinshan Mountains and successfully arrived at Guihua.

Suddenly the entire naturalization area became more lively, because not only Lin Rui became a father, but 8000 people including Huang Ben, Takuyan, etc. also became fathers, and nearly 3000 people also lost themselves. woman and child.

Lin Rui was also very sad about this.

Of the 3000 pregnant women, more than [-] died during childbirth, of which [-] were Han women.

This is what he has repeatedly said. Pay attention to hygiene during childbirth, and pregnant women are very strong. Otherwise, more people may die.
