In the Year of Apocalypse, the situation in Liaodong was not out of control.

The Ming Dynasty's blockade of the Jiannu was very effective. There has been a food shortage on the Boar Skin side. If the strict blockade policy could be adhered to, the brutal Jiannu could really be brought down.

Boarhide is always at war, for the simple reason that he must fight and win, or he must starve to death.

Before he died, he first attacked Ningyuan and slaughtered all the 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island, the Ming Dynasty's logistics supply base.

This is the "Ningjin Victory" of "national hero" Yuan Chonghuan.

He killed Nurhaci with one shot "with a cannon from a fortified city".

Who deserve the 10,000 or 20,000 innocent souls on Juehua Island? Where did the food and military supplies stored on the island go?

The "Ningjin Great Victory" reported to the court was that food, military supplies and ships frozen in the port were burned down.

What about the liar?

Yuan Chonghuan hunkered down in the city and did not dare to go to war. Boarpi's family was short of food. There was no risk for him to take the food away. Why would he be willing to burn it?

The wild boar skin fought for the sake of robbery and robbed the food and military supplies on Juehua Island, and the goal was achieved.

Why does he want Ning Yuancheng? Is it so far away from his hometown?

The Boarskin retreated, and then there was Yuan Chonghuan's "Ningjin Victory". Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian were not stupid, and they recognized it with their noses pinched.

Nurhachi, who was killed by Yuan Chonghuan with one shot, pretended to be dead. In April, he went to attack the Mongolian Khalkha tribe and robbed a lot of livestock. In August, he really died without pretending to be dead.

The slaves had a small population and a large territory. The war was not for the purpose of grabbing territory, but entirely for robbery, because they could not survive without robbery.

They captured too many Han people as slaves. Without food, the Han people would definitely be the first to starve to death.

Aha, a Han, is starving to death. Who will farm the land next year?

The result will definitely be a sharp decrease in cultivated land, less food, and more serious famine.

Exchanging Han slaves for Mongolian cattle and sheep could reduce food consumption and produce more meat. This was certainly what the Jiannu slaves did.

The population of the Kachagute tribe was three times that of the original Hedanbater tribe, with more than a thousand people. Since they defected to the Jian slaves three years ago, they exchanged cattle, sheep and horses for many Han slaves.

Huang Dazhi finally made some statistics and found that more than 150 slaves were Han Chinese. Most of them came from Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Liaoyang, and Shenyang. Some were civilian households, craftsmen households, and some were military households and horse households.

There is also a very unexpected gain. Among the Han slaves, there is actually a thirty-year-old named Wang Baishan who can write. According to him, he is a member of Liaodong Province.

Of course Huang Yi knew that students were scholars, belonging to the official class, and had a ladder to rise to become scholar-bureaucrats.

It's a pity that in the boar skin era, there was only one word for "kill", and it didn't care about scholar-bureaucrats or officials.

It was only after Huang Taiji came to power that he began to pay attention to traitorous literati.

Wang Baishan's life was not good. He was forced into slavery in the second year of Tianqi and sold to the prairie in the sixth year of Tianqi.

It is impossible for the Mongolians to give preferential treatment to the students. Wang Baishan was treated like a cow and a horse.

His vitality was very tenacious, and he actually endured hunger and cold and survived.

He learned that Huang Yi was Han and literate, so he immediately took Huang Dazhi and others to look for the loot, and found dozens of pieces of kraft paper.

This is not the kraft paper of later generations. It is really made of calf skin and can be used to cover the drum.

Huang Yi's travel bag contained a pen, no writing paper, and only three packs of facial tissue. Therefore, he never wrote down the lecture content. He only wrote it down in the notebook on his mobile phone.

After getting the kraft paper, he immediately wrote out nearly a hundred Chinese characters that he taught Huang Dazhi and other teenagers, and marked the Chinese phonetic sounds.

Huang Yi can write calligraphy. He practiced calligraphy for three years under the guidance of his father when he was a child. Later, he found it boring and stopped practicing.

Therefore, the calligraphy written in calligraphy is just not too ugly.

But with the foundation of practicing calligraphy, writing pen calligraphy will be much better.

All in all, Huang Yi's pen calligraphy is quite beautiful.

Wang Baishan, who had been a slave for eight years, had not seen Chinese characters for a long time. When he and Huang Dazhi and others watched the idioms written by Huang Yi such as wisdom and courage, great success and great flight, loyalty, filial piety, justice, etc., they burst into tears...

Huang Yi's population and supplies are increasing, and he needs manpower to help manage them.

Compared with later generations, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty definitely had more academic knowledge, and they only had good grades in Chinese.

This is enough. At the very least, Wang Baishan can help him teach young people how to read.

If you win, the harvest will be huge, and you must reward according to your merits!

The first hero is still Huang Yi, because he is not only the planner and marching route planner, but also has the military exploits of capturing the enemy chief and shooting two enemies.

The great achievement of leading the old, weak, women and children to defeat Crow Bahai has not yet been fulfilled.

Hedanbaatar is a straightforward person, how could he possibly mistreat Huang Yi, who is equivalent to the benefactor of the tribe.

After defeating the Kachagute tribe, he made a high-profile statement and allocated one-third of the original Kachagute tribe's population, livestock, property, and equipment to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi calculated, which means that there will be dozens to hundreds of Mongolian families under his command, with a population of more than 400, there should be 20 to 30 young adults, and there may be more than 80 string controllers.

Why do we need so many Mongolians?

Huang Yi has always believed that people who are not from my race must have different minds!

Therefore, he is only willing to cultivate Han people, and it is not impossible to cultivate Mongolians.

There were tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the Ming Dynasty army. Mangui, Heiyunlong, Fierce as a Tiger, Hu Dawei, etc. were all Mongolian generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

But somehow, Huang Yi still believed that the proportion of Mongolians in the team should not be too high, preferably no more than one-fifth.

So Huang Yi negotiated friendly negotiations with Hedan Battelle through Huang Dayong's translator, and gave up the huge benefits of one-third of the population, property, cattle, sheep, horses, etc. of the Runkachagute Department.

They only asked for all the Han slaves of the Kachagute tribe, and one-fifth of the cattle, sheep, horses, grain, yurts and daily necessities.

Huang Yi explained the reasons for doing this. The first reason was of course the language barrier and he didn't want to worry about those who couldn't understand his language.

The second reason is that I am Han Chinese, and I hope to bring some Han people who have fled to the prairie with me when I return to the Ming Dynasty.

Although Huang Yi didn't see that Hedanbaatar was already wary.

However, for the sake of safety, Hedanbaatar was clearly told from the beginning that he was not used to the wandering lifestyle on the prairie at all, and would return to the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, and had no intention of challenging his leadership position.

This long conversation was very effective. At this time, Hedan Bartel wanted to get Huang Yi's support and was really reluctant to lose Huang Yi.

He felt that he owed Huang Yi a lot, so he was grateful and said a lot, which could be translated in one sentence.

He sincerely hopes that Huang Yi can stay in the prairie forever and stay in his tribe. He is willing to share wealth with Huang Yi.

Maybe Hedanbaatar was sincere at this moment, but people will change. It is common sense that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Huang Yi just listened and didn't take it to heart.
