After a night of feasting, Yang Fan ordered the wake-up call to be an hour later the next day.
Yang Fan was very strict in running the army. He usually got up at five o'clock in the morning, dressed and washed, and then lined up to get breakfast. The Huotou Army will get up in the middle of the night to prepare food for the army.
The wake-up call was not blown until seven o'clock in the morning today. After all, one person was given a pound of liquor yesterday, and he didn’t drink any less. After the meal, the entire army sorted out various items and dismantled the car city. Then clean up the battlefield.
The dense enemy corpses outside Checheng have been cleaned up by wild animals these days. This is one of the self-purification functions of grassland. There will be no epidemic.
Moreover, judging from the simple beliefs of the Mongolians, they eat the flesh of all living beings while they are alive and return their own flesh to the Immortal Heaven when they leave this world, which is very fair and reasonable.
The war dead on one's own side were cremated according to Yang Fan's order. Put them into cloth bags and write your names. Then it was shipped back to the Zunhua military camp for temporary placement.
At the end of the day, Yang Fan led the entire army in a simple ceremony. Fire an eighteen-gun salute. The entire army fired farewell shots into the sky.
The steamship was hung with white flags and loaded with injured people and ashes. After the whistle blew, it seemed to be sailing downstream.
After a brief lunch, the entire army set off, advancing both by land and water. Heading towards the city of Duolun.
Two days later, Yang Fan and his party arrived in Duolun.
More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians from the city came out of the city to greet him. Both the Mongols and the Han people cheered excitedly at the arrival of their master.
Many Han people here are Yang Fan's domestic slaves. From the Mongols' point of view, Narenbaatar's master was naturally their master. This has been a rule on the grassland for thousands of years. Men, women, children, cattle, sheep, and pasture all belong to the victor. It is a matter of course that this has been a tradition for thousands of years.
Yang Fanhe wore mighty armor, took his two wives, and entered the city accompanied by civil and military officials.
An Sanxi and the officials knelt down to welcome Yang Fan and the two ladies. An Sanxi held a tray with three bowls of kumiss in both hands.
Yang Fan, Tu Shanyue and Lin Yue dismounted.
Yang Fan and the two ladies each picked up a bowl, dipped their fingers in the koumiss and flicked it three times to express a toast to the eternal heaven and earth, as well as the gods. Then drink it all in one gulp.
Yang Fan helped An Sanxi up with his own hands. Taking his hand, we walked into the city together.
The Mongols gave out thunderous cheers and kowtowed to welcome their new master.
In their view, Yang Fan's courtesy to Nairen Bat'er was the courtesy to all Mongolians.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also had their cheeks flushed with excitement. The two of them saw their gratitude and admiration for their master from the enthusiastic eyes of the Mongolians.
They both felt honored to be able to participate in such a ceremony. All this glory and dignity are brought to them by their husbands. In this era, it is normal for a wife to be valued by her husband and a mother to be respected by her son.
Their lives changed because of Yang Fan. It even changed the way our children and grandchildren live.
The Mongols became free people from slaves and owned the collective property of the herding team. Lived in the city and had his own homestead. The one who didn’t have a wife got a wife. Some have children.
The life of the Mongolians on the grasslands was very difficult.

Survive in the wild regardless of wind, frost, rain or snow. The wolf is just like the dog, patrolling outside the door. There is a serious shortage of all kinds of supplies, everything is lacking. Many girls are seven or eight years old and still running around with bare buttocks like their brothers.
Under the Ming Dynasty's blockade, grasslands were hard to come by, and iron tools were even more precious assets.
Now that I live in a city, I have clean well water to drink. There is no need to worry about dead livestock in the river being infected with the virus. No more people will die from cholera and diarrhea because of drinking dirty water.
Every community has public toilets. Children get up early to pick up the excrement of livestock on the road, either to accumulate fertilizer for their homes, or to dry it in the sun for fuel.
Complete drainage ditches and sewers drain rainwater out of the city, and the curved gravel, sand and dirt roads are not muddy. Poplar trees are planted along the roadside, as well as simple green spaces. There are public toilets on every street. The environment is very good.
There are grocery stores in the community, various shops in the city center square, as well as super large department stores and supermarkets.
There are all kinds of commodities inside, allowing the Mongolians to suddenly enter a world of abundant supplies and feel like they are in a fairyland.
Some Mongolians have never owned an iron pot for several generations.
When the animal husbandry team paid out their salaries. It is the first time to use these colorful and beautifully printed banknotes. When you buy your first iron pot at a grocery store or department store in a square. Many people were excited, and the whole family hugged each other and cried.
The city is absolutely safe. The children after school played with the children of the Han neighborhood and did not want to go home after dark. I was found by my mother, kicked and beaten, and then went home crying with my ears pulled.
The Mongolian women beat these disobedient calves. Everyone lamented that it was great to live in the city. We no longer had to worry about the child being snatched away by a wolf without even looking at it.
In the past, when we lived on the grasslands, women could not sleep at night. Because men have to herd horses and sheep during the day, and women have to hold Mongolian knives and squat in the sheepfold.
In the middle of the night, they have to fight with biting wolves and wolves that come to steal sheep. Tired to the point of exhaustion, and sometimes bruised all over my body, I am glad that I am still alive at dawn every day.
Because staying up late takes a lot of effort, Mongolian women generally have a short life span, usually in their thirties or forties, and those who live to be fifty are considered to have a long life.
This city is so nice. We can drive the sheep into the city at night. If you put them in the sheepfold in your own yard, there won’t be a single one left behind. People can sleep peacefully until dawn.
Mongolian women have enjoyed such a life for generations.
There is a barbed wire wall outside the community. There is a curfew at night and the gates are closed. The security chief led people on patrol carrying firecrackers. There are no thieves or bad guys at all.
If you get sick, there is a medical center in the square. There are both Mongolian and Han medicine. Go and see whichever one you trust. It’s true that doctors can’t cure him, and there are still shamans and lamas in the city.
Yang Fan wrote that he must respect the ethnic customs of the Mongolian people. If you are willing to believe in lamas and shamans, you must also allow it.
After all, they also have some secret techniques for healing. There are also many medicines from Tibetan, Mongolian, and Miao medicine of later generations that have very good curative effects.
There is no cost to see a doctor. The doctors are paid by the government's education, science, culture and health department. Although it costs money to get medicine, there are many wild medicinal materials in this era, and there is not much money. They are all purchased from herdsmen and farmers, and are basically priced at cost.

There is no medical trouble in this era. It doesn’t cost any money to see a doctor, so why are you making a fuss?
There is no interest relationship between doctors and patients, and there is no need to deceive others.
Although this kind of universal medical care is at a very low level, there are too many diseases that nothing can be done about it. But the people were very satisfied. They all accepted their fate even if they were not cured. No one ever came to the medical center to cause trouble.
