Wu Nian sat in Luan Yu, left the village, and returned to Dadu.
In recent times, the leaders of various tribes in the mountains or remote areas of the Three Han Dynasties have obeyed orders and arrived in Dadu, preparing to participate in the heaven sacrifice.
Of course, there are also those who disobey orders.
Wu Nian sent Feng Chong and Wu Min to lead the cavalry and annihilated those who disobeyed orders.
So many tribal leaders and their entourage gathered in the city. Buying, buying, buying is indispensable, which increases the prosperity of Dadu.
It’s just that Han and Mongolia were not at odds with each other before.
Now that the Han people are strong, they have caused many conflicts with the Mongolian people.
Wu Nian opened the car window and looked out from time to time. As soon as Luan Yu entered the palace, a close minister rode up to catch up with him. He bowed and saluted Luan Yu and said, "Your Majesty, Sushun's Red Ghost Hou Qimin is here. He is waiting to be received at the post."
"We're finally here." Inside Luan Yu, Wu Nian smiled and said to him, "Please come to the Imperial Study Room."
"Yes." The minister responded and rode off.
After Luan Yu entered the palace, Wu Nian changed to a sedan chair and arrived at the imperial study. After reading for a while, a close official came in to report.
Qimin arrived.
Wu Nian immediately invited people in.
"Your Majesty, Chiguihou General Qi Min, pays homage to your Majesty." Qi Min, who was wearing the official uniform of a general, bent down and saluted.
"Get up. Sit down." Wu Nian smiled and invited him to sit down and drink tea. After a cup of tea, Wu Niancai said: "General. My nephew Zhang Zhen is able to gain a foothold in Sushun because of the help of the general."
"The general has done a great job."
"The king's words are serious. This is what I should do." Qi Min said humbly, with a look of glory on his face.
In fact, he had never thought of so much back then, let alone thought of it. The huge Mongolian Yuan Dynasty turned into ruins, and the Han Dynasty was so powerful.
Wu Nian affirmed Qi Min's contribution and chatted with him for a while before getting to the main topic.
Wu Nian said frankly: "General, I have called you here this time. First, because the General's Red Ghost Department is very prestigious. I want to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens, and I want to use you to control the situation."
"Two. I have something I need to trouble you about."
After Qi Min heard this, he immediately stood up and knelt down and said: "Once the king gives orders, I will not hesitate to die."
"No need to die. No need to die." Wu Nian stood up and left the throne, and personally helped Qi Min. The Ouchi guards on both sides of him followed immediately, showing vigilance.
Although the Red Ghost Tribe has been submissive for many years, the king's safety cannot be neglected at all.
After asking Qi Min to sit down, Wu Nian returned to the throne and sat down. Said: "Now the population of Guanghan is gradually increasing. However, the population of Hanxing and Hansheng is sparse. Especially Hansheng Province. We must defend both the Waixing'an Mountains and Dicheng."
"I plan to move 200,000 men and women from Sushun Prefecture to Hansheng and belong to the governor Fu Daquan. I will also transfer the general's ten thousand households to Di City. They will be one of the three garrison ten thousand households."
"It's really cold and freezing over there, so it's really not a good place. And the general is quite old, so I'm just bothering you."
When Qi Min heard this, he didn't want to go north to eat the northwest wind. But now, under the impact of the Han Dynasty's prefecture and county system, the Chigui tribe has become very loose and almost exists in name only.
And his family and the Han Dynasty both prospered and suffered losses.
How to do this is almost a no-brainer.
Qi Min immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it is my honor to guard the country's borders. After offering sacrifices to heaven, I will immediately return to Sushun to dispatch troops and horses."
"The general is really a loyal minister." Seeing that Qi Min was so sensible, Wu Nian reciprocated the favor. After talking to him for a long time, we had dinner together.
He gave Qimin many good things and gave him a son to study in the grandson's prison.
Didn't treat him badly.
Offering sacrifices to heaven is not really offering sacrifices to heaven. But a deterrent.
As the troops from all parties arrived, Wu Nian ordered more than 100,000 horse infantry households, as well as the leaders of the Hu and Meng Yuan tribes in the Three Han Dynasties, to surround Luan Jia and march out to the Xing'an Mountains in a mighty manner.
The Han army was so large and powerful that they could not take small roads, but could only walk long distances along the main roads.
The walk was also very slow. It took more than two months to get from Dadu to Waixing'anling.
But the effect is outstanding.
Although the tribal leaders came this time to worship heaven, the tribal people did not. How could these unruly people in the high mountains not be afraid when they saw the might of the Han army?
The Waixing'an Mountains are a horizontal mountain range, bordering the sea from east to west.
It is hundreds of miles wide from north to south. It is the natural barrier of Han Dynasty.
Natural resources are also extremely rich. The most noticeable ones are timber and fur resources. Other minerals, such as gold, silver, copper, etc., still need time to be explored.
At present, Hanxing and Hansheng provinces have no population. There is vast land, but no one is cultivating it. Mining matters will naturally have to be dealt with later.
Wu Nian planned to expand the population first and then wait for the train to be built. They started to develop timber, fur, and various mineral industries in the outer Xing'an Mountains, and continuously transfused blood to the south.
Food, cloth and other daily necessities from the south were transported north.
Simply asking the people to guard the border will not work. These two provinces are so cold that although the plains are vast, they can only support a few million people at most.
This happens if the weather is particularly cold, or if there are successive military disasters. People will flee to the south to seek life.
In order to retain the people, these industries must be developed.
Only when the Three Han Dynasties are developed and strengthened can the people stay here. With a large population, we can expand outward.
Wu Nian has a long way to go on his shoulders.
The place for worshiping heaven is set on the boundary of Hansheng Province, on a high mountain.
The matters of offering sacrifices to heaven were handled by the Hojo clan, assisted by officials from the Ministry of Rites.
This high mountain originally had a name, but Hojo Ushimasa changed the name to Han Mountain.
Simple and crude, but extremely beautiful.
Guanghan, Hansheng and Hanxing are collectively called the Three Han Dynasties. The King of Han led an army of more than 100,000 men and joined the leaders of the Mongolian, Yuan and Hu tribes to worship heaven on Mount Han.
It’s beautiful to think about.
When the Han army arrived at the foot of the mountain, their camps were lined up, their banners were in full bloom, their men and their horses were neighing, and they were invincible.
evening. Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Nian ate, took a bath, and planned to go to bed. The imperial guard came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, General Feng wants to see you."
"Let him in." Wu Nian felt that this guy would be up to no good, but as the number one hero of the Northern Expedition, he had to give him face.
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded and went down.
After a while. Feng Chong, wearing official uniform, walked in with high spirits.
"No need, no need. Just tell me anything." Seeing that he was about to salute, Wu Nian waved his hand and said.
"Hehehe." Feng Chong chuckled, and then asked sheepishly: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask. What is the reward for your first achievement?"
When Wu Nian heard this, he was speechless.
However, it is reasonable for Feng Chong to say such things.
