In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 216 Unify the Loop

Lin Rui just took a casual look around the production brigade, asked about some daily life conditions in the brigade, and then left.

After all, it has only been established for more than a month, and no problems can be seen. Whether it is building a fort or farming, everyone is very motivated.

Obviously, this big family model of collective work, collective food and accommodation, made everyone feel very novel.

In addition, there are two meals a day, and occasionally a meal of meat. The ratio of men to women is harmonious. The lady in charge of management is not only fair but also gentle. This makes everyone who was once homeless, separated from their wives and children, hungry and full. , they all feel the warmth of home, and they all cherish the days now.

Especially when they learned that as long as they reached the status level, they could apply to get married to the woman of their choice, and then build a separate house to live together. Regardless of whether they were men or women, their daily work was full of laughter and energy.

"Your Majesty, these hundreds and thousands of households always like to beat and curse people randomly, and they often molest the young ladies and maids. Sometimes they even speak rudely to the wife who manages them..."

On the carriage back, Mrs. Lu couldn't hold back after thinking about it, and told Lin Rui about the wrongdoings of the veterans. Apparently, the wives of various production teams these days have been reporting the evil deeds of hundreds of households to the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Then did they mess around and interfere in the daily affairs of the production teams?" Lin Rui asked without answering.

"Not at all." Mrs. Lu shook her head. These hundreds of households were like rat droppings in a pot of porridge. Although they did not cause any substantial damage to the production teams, they made everyone afraid and disgusted.

"It's not worth it."

Lin Rui waved his hand nonchalantly.

As long as those hundreds of thousands of households don't live up to the standard and don't have his wife's ideas, he won't care.

Because if those ladies can't even handle this, it means they are incompetent and not suitable for managing the production team.

What's more, a production team must have such a villain to set off, otherwise how can the value and role of the wife be reflected?Over time, I am afraid that not everyone will have to let themselves go and become carefree.

Therefore, when selecting veterans, Lin Rui actually deliberately selected 22 veterans with bad tempers and fierce faces to serve as hundreds of households in each production team.

However, when they came, Lin Rui warned them again and again: Firstly, they should not affect the production and construction of the production team, and secondly, they should not have any ideas about the ladies.

Because Lin Rui does not intend for ladies over 30 years old to remarry and have children in the future, and he has clearly told all the ladies over 30 years old about this.

It's not that he is unreasonable, but that women are all emotional, especially in ancient times when marriage was important and people obeyed their husbands. Once they got married and had children, these women would become selfish and would no longer be able to pursue nothing like they are now.

As long as these ladies are not married, they will always be alone. The only support is him, the king. As for their physical needs, he has already thought of ways to deal with them.

Mrs. Lu didn't know that Lin Rui deliberately asked these hundreds of households to cause trouble. Seeing his attitude, she opened her mouth and said nothing. She just thought that Lin Rui wanted to use those hundreds of households to check and balance the wives of each production team.

Five days later, Mrs. Lu personally took more than 6 men and women, thousands of carts and thousands of horses, escorted by [-] cavalry and [-] dragoons, and set off for Wuyuan in a mighty manner.

Nearly 7 people walked in at once, all of them young and strong men and women, which slowed down the progress of various projects and made the area near Guihua City no longer as crowded as before.

In mid-August, more than ten Tumut tribes and more than 5 people in the Wuyuan area migrated to Qiantao.

For a time, the more than [-] Tumut people in the front group became nervous. Faced with the harassment and land grabbing by more than a dozen tribes in Wuyuan, conflicts broke out frequently between the two sides.

However, Hua stated that the herdsmen of these tribes are all the people of China. If the tribes dare to attack these tribes and kill the people of China, it will be regarded as a provocation to China, and China will definitely send troops to destroy them. .

This made the nearly thirty tribes in front of them helpless. They could only passively defend themselves, but they did not dare to fight back, not to mention feeling aggrieved.

So they all had to go to Guihua to complain to Namuzhong, but Namuzhong changed his attitude again.

Claiming that this is an internal matter for you Tumut people and that China should not interfere is exactly the same as letting the knights go back to rebel.

All principles are in the hands of China.

The thirty tribes in front are not stupid. You can only hit me, but I can't hit you. No one can stand it. Unfortunately, the Tumut tribe has been divided into three parts. Even if they just want to fight against China, He couldn't do it, and he even lost the qualification to negotiate.

Therefore, some small tribal leaders had no choice but to express their willingness to join the Hua Kingdom. Lin Rui also ennobled the tribal leaders with titles according to the size of the tribe and enjoyed the protection of the Hua Kingdom.

As more and more tribes were forced to join the Chinese nation, the last few large tribes also joined the Chinese nation before winter came.

There is no other way. If you don't join, I'm afraid even the Qiantao tribe who just joined China will have to attack them and rob them of their cattle, sheep, livestock and pasture.

So far, it only took Lin Rui two or three months to completely recapture the entire Tumut tribe of more than 20 people.Obviously, this kind of loose tribal alliance can be easily disintegrated as long as it starts from within. Lin Rui has not even used economic means.

Of course, any means must be based on absolute force. Lin Rui finally understood why in his previous life, Lao Mi could deal with anyone he wanted except China.

After conquering all the Tumut tribes, Lin Rui began to redivide the territories of each tribe, formulate rules, and sent the remaining knights back, leaving only [-] cavalry and two battalions on the left and right.

After some consideration, Lin Rui established four counties again in one go. The first was Wuyuan County, which had thirteen garrison guards under its jurisdiction.

Then there is Yunzhong County, which is the Baotou area. Under the strong request of Zhang Han and others, Lin Rui had to change Baotou to Yunzhong.

Yunzhong County has over twenty tribes, large and small. In addition to the original ten Tumut tribes, twelve small tribes who moved from Liaohetao were also placed in Yunzhong County by Lin Rui. The total population is nearly forty thousand.

The third county is Dongsheng County, covering a large area south of Guihua, east of the Yellow River, and north of the Great Wall. The county seat is located at the mouth of the Sancha River where the Dongsheng Guard originally established by the Ming Dynasty was located.

Dongsheng County is the largest county, with a total of 25 tribes of various sizes and nearly [-] Mongolian herdsmen under its jurisdiction.

The last county is located in the vast area east of Guihua and north of Datong Yanghe. The county seat is located near Haizi Lake in Jining (that is, near Jining City in the previous life).

It is only two to three hundred miles away from Yanghe Acropolis in the south. Jining County has a total of 18 tribes under its jurisdiction, with a total population of more than [-].

So far, in addition to the naturalization of Sili Prefecture, China has five counties, namely Hanoi County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dongsheng County, and Jining County. There are a total of 85 Mongolian tribes of various sizes, nearly 30 Thousands of Mongolians.

Lin Rui also once again selected four from the more than 100 scholars in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to serve as county guards and be responsible for building the county city.

Due to the different situations of the five counties, the management systems of each county are also very different. The first is Wuyuan County. Since there are no herdsmen in the fields of the Thirteen Guards, the county guard is only a false position, the highest official in name, but in fact No rights whatsoever.

The power will be provided by the field envoys dispatched by the Ministry of Agriculture, the judicial envoys dispatched by the Ministry of Punishment, and a command envoy dispatched by the Metropolitan Governor's Office to take charge of civil affairs, justice and military affairs, similar to the three divisions in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the remaining four counties are all Mongolian herdsmen, except for the 20 chiefs in Hanoi, who have no judicial power, the central government does not directly manage the remaining three counties. The county guards are only responsible for regulating conflicts. The civil, judicial and military affairs of each tribe are controlled by the central government. Each tribal leader is responsible for himself.

However, after the county town is repaired, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Punishment will also be dispatched to be responsible for counting the population of each tribe, education, and trade matters.

The Grand Governor's Mansion will also send a commander and 1000 garrison troops to garrison, and will also be responsible for managing the knights of each tribe.

Lin Rui also only set six iron rules for each tribe. The first one is that the property and family members of the knights in the tribe are protected by Chinese military law, and the leaders of each tribe are not allowed to dispose of them without authorization.

Article [-]: Tribes are not allowed to annex and attack each other without authorization.

Article [-]: Each tribe is not allowed to trade with the Ming Dynasty and other forces without authorization.

Except for private transactions between tribes, all other transactions must be conducted in the county where they are located.

Article [-]: From now on, all children over six years old in each tribe must go to the county town to receive four years of education unconditionally.

Article [-]: The Han people in each tribe must be surrendered, and Han slaves are not allowed to appear in the tribes in the future.

Article [-]: Each tribe has the obligation to fight for China at all times.

From now on, King Hua's conscription orders will be divided into four types, one is D level, which only requires the knights of each tribe to prepare their own weapons and horses to go into battle.

The second level is Level C, which requires the leader of each tribe or the leader's eldest son to bring all the warriors over 20 and under 35 years old in the tribe and prepare their own weapons and horses.

The third level is Level B, which requires the leader of each tribe to personally lead all men in the tribe over the age of 16 and under the age of 45 to fight.

The fourth level is Class A, which is also the highest level. The tribal leader must lead all the people in the tribe who can fight. The standard is that anyone who can lift a sword, ride a horse, shoot a bow and shoot an arrow, regardless of gender, old or weak, must fight.

As for other customs and traditions, as long as they do not conflict with these six iron laws, each tribe can act according to its own customs and rules, and China will not interfere.

As for the founding ceremony of the country, Lin Rui also officially determined that it will be the second day of February next year, the auspicious day when the dragon raises its head.

The outside world finally had work to do, but looking at the whole world, Lin Rui only sent two envoys to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty in the south, and sincerely invited Emperor Chongzhen and his wife Zhou to attend the celebration.
