Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

He wanted to escape, but because of his illness, he didn't have any strength in his body.

"The fever is gone. I didn't expect to be able to resist it. I really didn't expect it." Qian Zhong looked at the child lying on the bed and murmured.

These wild Jurchens live in the mountains all year round, accompanied by wild animals, so their physique is relatively good.

Although the child's condition is relatively serious, after Z prescribes the right medicine, he recovers quickly.

The child half-opened his eyes and kept looking at Qian Zhong.

"Since you've woken up, it means you're all right. Now that the fever has subsided, all that's left is to take a good mend." Qian Zhong came to the big medicine box in the corner, squatted beside it, and looked from inside. Pick herbs outside.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as he was picking out the herbs, there was a knock on the door.

Qian Zhong put down his work, walked to the door, and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Qian Zhong saw the leader of Akdan and several soldiers.

"Doctor Qian, are you awake?" A soldier under Bu He looked at Qian Zhong and asked.

Qian Zhong nodded, "The child is already awake, but he is very weak now, so he needs to make up for it."

Qian Zhong opened the door and let everyone in.

Akdan hurried in, and quickly walked to the bed.

"Galiao, you finally woke up, you were so worried about me, I thought I'd never see you again." Akdan stroked the child's face, tearing up.

"Where am I? What is this place?" Ga Liu looked at Akdan and asked.

Akdan hurriedly explained to Galiu.

Qian Zhong looked at the scene and said, "The child is relatively weak now, let him lie down first!"

Akdan couldn't understand Qian Zhong's words, so he turned around and looked at Qian Zhong with a confused face.

The Buhe soldier who had asked the question before hastily explained what Qian Zhong had said.

This soldier is Wu Keshan's personal guard, and he masters the languages ​​of the Han, Mongolian and Jurchen tribes.

Wu Keshan is Horqin's Taiwan auspicious no matter what, and being an interpreter all the time is not the same thing.

"Thank you Elder Master, thank you Elder Master!" Akdan hurriedly knelt down to the ground again, kowtowing to Qian Zhong.

Qian Zhong helped Akdan up, "No need to do this, this is what I should do."

"Although the child is awake now, his body has not fully recovered. He needs to recuperate and nourish himself. Go out first and don't disturb the child's rest." Qian Zhong pointed to the child lying on the bed, and said to Akdan.

Bu and the soldiers hastily translated these words, and took Akdan and others out at the same time.

Akdan walked out with a face of reluctance, just as he walked out of the room, the leader tugged at the corner of Akdan's clothes.

Akdan looked at the leader and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

The leader said: "We should kowtow to the old man yesterday. If he hadn't been kind, there would be no one to treat your child."

"Yes, that's right, let's go quickly!" Akdan patted his thigh, and then said to Bu He and the soldiers, "Where was that lord yesterday? Take us there. We need to kowtow to him and thank them well." .”

"Follow me!" said Bu and the soldier, then turned around and led the way for them.

Not long after, Akdan and the leader were taken outside Zhao Wen's room.

At this time, Zhao Wen had already woken up and was sitting in the room eating breakfast.

"My lord, those two wild Jurchens came yesterday and said they would kowtow to you, thank you!" The guard outside the door came in and relayed the situation outside to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Kowtow can be avoided. It's just a matter of convenience. Tell them to wait until the child is fully recovered before leaving."

"Obey!" The guard said and walked out again.

……

Two days later, the fleet of treasure ships finally arrived at the port.

When Zhao Wen heard the news, he took Li Xiaosan, Mao Wenlong, Bu He and the leaders of the grassland tribes who came with him to the port.

In addition to these people, Zhao Wen also asked people to bring the Jiannu captives here.

Looking at the treasure ship floating on the sea, Bu He's face was full of horror.

Bu He had never seen a treasure ship at all. Although he had heard of this thing before, Bu He couldn't imagine how big the treasure ship was at all.

Bu He and the others have never seen the sea all year round, let alone a giant ship like a treasure ship.

Buhe stood on the square of the port. He looked at the treasure ship in front of him, and said dumbfounded: "This, this, this is the treasure ship? This is the treasure ship of the commander-in-chief? I'm afraid this is not a hill?"

Except for Guo Buhe, the leaders of those grassland tribes also looked at the treasure ship on the sea in horror, and were speechless for a long time.

They really did not expect that there would be such a huge ship in this world.

Zhao Wen looked at the treasure ship calmly, without any excitement.

The port is a semi-finished port, so so many ships cannot be parked at one time.

When the first three treasure ships docked at the port, other ships that had already occupied the port could not squeeze in.

The first treasure ship was the pilot ship of the fleet. When the first ship docked at the port, the head of the fleet walked off the treasure ship with a group of followers.

"My lord, this is the list of goods transported this time. Please take a look at it. In addition to the goods, more than 500 construction workers have been transported this time." The person in charge walked up to Zhao Wen, saluted Zhao Wen, and then He took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen took the booklet and flipped through it.Not long after, Zhao Wen handed over the brochure to the person in charge, "The goods transported this time can be relatively large, and can survive this winter. More than 500 construction workers plus these slaves, after the spring of next year, a year's Time should be able to build the city."

Zhao Wen turned around and looked at Mao Wenlong and the others, "Let's start unloading. There are more goods this time and it will take more time. Hurry up and unload."

Mao Wenlong and others hurried down and ordered his subordinates to drive the Jiannu prisoners to unload.

Zhao Wen walked outside the port, looked at the busy port, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The treasure ships are huge and can hold a lot of cargo. It took a day just to unload the three treasure ships docked at the port.

Zhao Wen returned to his house, and at the same time, he brought everyone over.

Because the space is small, everyone in the room is standing.

Zhao Wen looked at the people in the room, and said, "After unloading this time, I plan to take the treasure ship and return. This time, Buhe, Omubu, you grassland people, follow me and return."

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he looked at Mao Wenlong, "After we leave, you can stay here. I will send you the follow-up personnel and supplies on Phi Island, so you don't have to worry. The goods transported this time are enough You have survived this winter, and there is still some left. Before I leave, I will provide you with enough weapons and equipment. I will leave this place to you, and you must take root here and manage it well.”

Mao Wenlong said loudly: "My lord, don't worry, with me, Mao Wenlong, here, I will take good care of Far East Town and keep it safe for you."

Zhao Wen nodded, then picked up a booklet from the table, "This is the plan for Far East Town that I wrote these days, you can take it as a reference, you don't have to follow the content on it , this is just a reference. As for how to implement it, it should be adapted to local conditions and not bound by rules and regulations.”

Mao Wenlong took the brochure, cupped his fists at Zhao Wen and said, "Don't worry, my lord, when you come here again, this place will definitely be as you imagined!"

Zhao Wen nodded, and looked at the rest of the people, "In this war against Jiannu, you all made a lot of contributions. Why do you want to be shot?"

When Omubu and others heard about the reward, they immediately became excited. The reason why they worked so hard for Zhao Wen was for the reward, and what they were waiting for was now.

As for Bu He, he has a calm face. Now that he is Zhao Wen's father-in-law, it is not so important to him whether to reward or not.

Once a new dynasty is established, as Zhao Wen's father-in-law, will the benefits be less?

"Don't dare, it's our honor to be able to do things for Lord Zongbing, how dare we ask for a reward?" Although Omubu said this, the expression on his face betrayed him.

"Yes, yes, it is our honor to be able to work under the commander-in-chief. How dare we ask for any reward?" Chechen Khan also hurriedly said.

"Haha!" Seeing them like this, Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing, "Looking at you like this, I, Zhao Wen, will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and those who have demerits will be deficient. Will I be greedy for your merits?"

As Zhao Wen spoke, he took out a map, which not only showed the territory of Ming Dynasty, but also the territory of the grassland.

Zhao Wen spread the map on the table in front of him.

"This is Horqin. I think so. I plan to set Horqin as Horqin Province. The same goes for the rest of the place. The provinces will be established based on the area where the tribe is currently located.

In the future, your territory will be settled, and you will not be able to graze wildly like before.Of course, you are on your own turf, and you can graze how you want.

In addition, you choose a place on your site, and then I will send a construction team based on the place you choose to expand this place into a city. "Zhao Wen's voice kept echoing in everyone's ears.

At the beginning, when everyone heard that Zhao Wen was going to set up provinces mainly based on tribes, they didn't think much of it, but when they heard that they would gradually save cities for them, the tribes couldn't sit still for a moment.

Especially the big Khan Ombu of the Urad Department, he kept panting heavily, and was almost fainted by the news.

Earlier, he thought it was impossible for Zhao Wen to build a city for him, after all, he was not Zhao Wen's father-in-law.

In his opinion, although he captured Huang Taiji alive, it was impossible to build a city for him.Now he didn't expect that he would really build a city for him, which he really didn't expect.

"Master, are you telling the truth? Are you really going to build a city for us?" Omubu took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Wen in disbelief.

Zhao Wen nodded with a smile, "That's right, you all have cities, but I will plan the scale of the cities according to the merits you have made. If your contributions are large, the city will be large, and if your contributions are small, the scale will be small."

Chapter 538 Ironclad Ship

"Of course, when building a city, I can't build it for you for free. You have to pay the cost, which can be silver, cattle, sheep, or war horses.

All in all, I can't build a city for you for free, but I can give you some discounts so that you won't empty out your tribe just to build a city. " Zhao Wen said again.

"Understand, understand, we understand this matter. There is no free lunch in the world, and we understand this truth. After all, the city is not a commodity." Omubu said to Zhao Wen with a smile on his face.

Ombu has wanted a city for a long time, and now the situation in the grassland has been settled, and each tribe has its own exclusive pasture, and they graze in their own pasture when grazing.

In this way, their range of activities will be limited, so that they can only graze in their own pastures.And their grassland area is not infinite, and the span is limited, so they are destined not to run too far.

If there is a city, in winter, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep in the tribe will be moved to the city for the winter, and then released in the spring.

Nowadays, the weather on the grassland is getting colder and colder. Many cattle, sheep and herdsmen freeze to death every year. If there is a city, the casualties in the tribe will be much less.

In any case, there is a city that has always been the most hopeful thing for Omubu and others.

If relying on Omubu himself, I am afraid that even if it takes 100 years, there will be no way to build the city, not to mention, there will be no manpower to build the city.

Omubu is not afraid of paying, but he is afraid of not being covered.

Although Omubu has been squeezed by Huang Taiji in recent years, he still has some property at the bottom of the box.In addition, Zhao Wen just said that cattle, sheep, war horses and other things are also available, so there is no need to worry about money.

It's easy to talk about money, but it's not easy to talk about the city.

Building a city on the grassland is not that simple. One is that there are no people who can build a city, and the other is that there is no material to build a city.

The herdsmen on the grassland are good at herding cattle and sheep, but if they are allowed to build a city, it will be really difficult for them.

Even if you know how to build it, it's useless if you don't have the materials needed to build the city.The soil on the grassland is soft and not as viscous as loess, so without special building materials and personnel, it is difficult to build a city on the grassland.

Otherwise, people like Omubu would have built the city themselves, so how could Zhao Wen be used?

"It's easy to talk about silver cattle and sheep, as long as the adults build the city for us, everything is easy to talk about!" Emubu smiled and looked at Zhao Wen flatteringly.

Zhao Wendao: "I will determine the size of your city according to the size of your meritorious service. Remember, after the city is built, it must be well protected. It won't take two or three years for it to be dilapidated.

As for the form of the city, it will be done according to the form of Horqin. What do you think? "

"Everything is up to the adults, and everything is up to the adults." Omubu's head was like a chicken pecking at rice, and he kept ordering.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Since that's the case, then you guys should hurry up and come up with a charter to find out where to build it."

Zhao Wen built the city for these people not because Zhao Wenxian had nothing to do, but to use the city to fix these people.

The biggest instability of the nomadic people is that the nomadic people live in no fixed place and live with the grass. In this way, the rule over these people will be reduced.

If you want to completely solve the problem of nomads, you must find a way to make them settle down and then assimilate them with culture.

Earlier, Zhao Wen built Horqin City for Horqin. Although it took a lot of effort, the effect was remarkable.

Today's Horqin has stabilized, even if it is a nomad, it will not run too far, basically around the city of Horqin.

Build cities for these grassland tribes, and these grassland tribes will gradually stabilize like the Horqin tribe.

Once stabilized, they will use cattle, sheep and war horses for profit, and lock all these people on the grassland.

Once these people get used to being stable and want to be nomadic, it is not so easy.

"After these treasure ships have finished carrying the goods, I plan to go back, and then you will go back with me. When I arrive at Xuanzhen, I will start to build the city for you. Remember, the place must be chosen for me, don't It's too remote, and if it's remote, it's not easy to transport supplies." Zhao Wen murmured, beating on the table.

All the people in the house replied in unison: "Everything is subject to the adults, everything is up to the adults!"

……

After about five or six days, all the cargo on the treasure ship was finally unloaded, and it was time for Zhao Wen to return.

During the time of unloading, Akdan had already taken his children, together with the leader, and was escorted by the people sent by Mao Wenlong towards their tribe.

And Zhao Wen also took out some weapons from the warehouse for Mao Wenlong, including five 152mm cannon howitzers.
