Ou Anmin didn't expect it at all.朜
The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty was so despicable that he directly targeted his family.
Even his two sons were excavated.
It is written clearly in the family letter that more than 400 members of the family have now been imprisoned.
If he doesn't return to Ming Dynasty, he will have no choice but to stay in prison.
Prison, is that a place for people?
Of course, Ou Anmin's current impression of Daming Prison is still from a long time ago. He doesn't know that because of Zhu Ying's reforms, the current prison is no longer as scary as it was back then.
Worried, Ou Anmin began to ask around for news, and sadly discovered that it was not just him, but almost all the Hanchen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were in the same situation as him.朜
I don't know why, but under such circumstances, Ou Anmin felt a little more lucky.
Maybe it was because I saw others doing the same thing, so I resonated with it.
When you feel uncomfortable, seeing others feeling uncomfortable makes you feel much better.
Among them, a Hanchen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty became a little crazy after seeing his family letter.
"This is impossible. I was abducted when I was five years old. My parents are unknown. Now that I have passed my destiny, this book actually says that I still have a mother alive."
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous!!! Hahahaha..."
"It's just, why, the scene mentioned in the letter home is so similar to the dream I had when I was a child."
"Is it a scam created by Ming Dynasty, or is it a complete fabrication?"
"If this is true, then my mother is indeed still alive in this world?"
"It's a child who is unfilial. He regrets that he didn't listen to his mother's instructions. He was so playful that he missed the time and was abducted by gangsters."
"My father even died in a foreign country in search of me. Is it true?"
"No, I have to ask clearly."
"If mother is really still here, I...I...I...wuwuwuwu..."
Ming Dynasty had a powerful household registration system. It is not difficult to get to the bottom of a person. It just depends on how much it costs.朜
After all, under the pressure of Jin Yiwei, ordinary people would not dare to hide anything.
As for the Yaren profession, when encountering Jin Yiwei, they will basically not say that there is any room for resistance. They will be killed if they are told. It is as simple as that.
Although a long time has passed, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it. The punishment will make you slowly recall the bedwetting incident when you were three years old.
In this way, even if Hanchen of Bei Yuan disappeared since childhood, he still had to be found.
This operation really shocked all the Hanchen of Beiyuan.
Daming is serious.
That night alone, a large number of Han ministers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty left without saying goodbye, followed the Ming Dynasty's caravan, and ran back to the Ming Dynasty overnight.朜
Why do they work for Beiyuan?
Is it for the scenery on this vast grassland?
No, how could they, who had grown up in the Central Plains, adapt to the wandering life of the prairie? Some things are just under the cover of power, so they don't seem so important.
The idea of falling leaves returning to their roots is more important in today's world, especially when family members, wives, sons and daughters are all threatened. No matter how rich you are, what meaning does it have?
When Beiyuan went to court the next morning, it seemed a little empty.
There were originally more than forty Hanchen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but now only four including Ou Anmin remained.
It’s not that it’s too late to leave.朜
In fact, when the letter from home came yesterday, the Ming caravan had already explained that they had discussed it with Emperor Beiyuan and could safely leave with the caravan without any further investigation.
It can be regarded as the last dignity left between the monarch and his ministers.
But four people, including Ou Anmin, had other ideas.
"Ou Yushi, they are all gone, why are you
Not leaving yet. Elbek asked a little strangely while sitting on the dragon chair.
Below him is the ashen-faced Khaltaj.
Mr. Harji never thought that Elbek would suddenly make such a move without telling him, which was equivalent to driving away all his advisers.
Elbek was originally sent to Bei Yuan through Zhu Yuanzhang.朜
Hargitai was the first to retreat together.
Therefore, I am more familiar with Beiyuan Hanchen and have a closer relationship.
Elbek, who lived in the Ming Dynasty, was initially rejected by the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After all, he returned as a prisoner and was given the title of Marquis by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
Only in terms of blood, Elbek is the first heir.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty was influenced by the Central Plains and was fundamentally different from the Mongols in many aspects. The last person to inherit the throne of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was Elbek.
The reason why Elbek favored Haohai Dayu, the minister of Wala, actually had a lot to do with the Han officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
After all, in the struggle for power, the Han ministers had an extremely strong advantage, while the Mongolian ministers were relatively weaker in all aspects.朜
Khartaj itself also controlled part of the army, and with the support of the Han officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it always posed a great threat to Elbek's throne.
This time, with the help of Zhu Ying, all the Han officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were eliminated, and their voice in the court was greatly strengthened.
Under such circumstances, even if Khaterji was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to look at Ou Anmin with hopeful eyes.
Ou Anmin bowed and bowed, and then said, "I did not choose to stay in Beiyuan. Now that my family is suffering from great difficulties, I feel uneasy staying here and can no longer fully serve His Majesty."
When he said the word "loyalty", Ou Anmin did not look at Elbek, but at Khatrek.
These words sounded like they were spoken to Elbek, but in fact they were Ou Anmin expressing his inner thoughts to Khartaj.
Elbek asked with a smile: "You could have left last night, but why did you wait until the morning meeting today? Is it for your own reputation?"
"Let's talk about some other ideas."
Ou Anmin did not pay too much attention to Elbek's teasing. Instead, he bowed to Elbek and at the same time bowed to Khartaj.
Leisurely sighed and said: "When I was born, the Great Yuan Dynasty unified China, but at that time, the situation was already like a terminal patient."
"After I obtained the honor and entered the official career, I was determined to change the status quo at that time and served in the Yushitai. I tried my best to ensure that more people would receive fair and just treatment, so as to stabilize the country."
"My whole life, I have been eating from the Yuan official family and doing things for the Yuan official family, but I can only watch the Yuan Dynasty fall apart."
"The Yuan Dynasty did not fall after Zhu Yuanzhang, but the internal fighting among many parties within the Yuan Dynasty led to its gradual emptiness."
"Even at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a rebel. Among the many rebels, he was just a small player. Who could have imagined that he would be in such a grand situation today."
"It's hard to calm down when I think about the past. When I say this, I don't want to talk about the success or failure of the past, but I want to tell your majesty that Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and the grandson of the Ming Dynasty have tried their best to investigate me and wait for me in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The situation of Hanchen."
"Looking for weaknesses, forcing us to leave Bei Yuan and return to Ming Dynasty. We are not allowed to serve Bei Yuan. The purpose is particularly obvious, which is to cut off Bei Yuan's wings."
"Our departure now will also create a lot of fear in the hearts of all Han people who want to serve the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the future. The grandson of the Ming Dynasty set a precedent, and kings of all generations in the future will naturally follow suit and block this road."
"Your Majesty, you should know that even someone as powerful as Genghis Khan failed to conquer the Song Dynasty. Even Meng Ge also died in the Central Plains. The only one who was able to conquer the Central Plains, our Great Yuan Dynasty Patriarch, only succeeded with the help of the Han people."
"I don't know how far Beiyuan will develop in the future.
What's the point? I came to court today just to tell your Majesty that you must beware of the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty. This man is young and promising. He started from scratch and is proficient in business, military, internal affairs, and the art of attacking people's hearts. "
"With such a vast territory, the Ming Dynasty was still not satisfied and wanted a wider territory."
"I beg your Majesty to think more about where Bei Yuan will go from now on."
After saying that, Ou Anmin knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
This means that the relationship with Bei Yuan will be completely severed in the future.
He knew very well that after returning to the Ming Dynasty, he would not have any chance of being reused. Not only would he be under surveillance, but he would also be unable to participate in government affairs.
Elbek's original joking expression gradually regained its original expression, and he felt the sincerity from Ou Anmin's words just now.
No matter how he fought in the court before, Ou Anmin's heart has always been towards Bei Yuan, and he is truly a loyal minister of Bei Yuan.
Subconsciously, Elbek looked at Ou Anmin and the others.
Not only the four of them, but also the Han ministers who had left last night. Even though they had many ideas of their own, if you really wanted to say that, they were all loyal ministers.朜
After Dayuan has experienced repeated collapses, he is still willing to stay in Beiyuan, which speaks volumes.
In fact, Elbek also knew that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these Han officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were offered very good treatment and conditions.
And they resolutely chose to follow Bei Yuan, who was constantly losing and saw no hope.
From the familiar Central Plains area to this unfamiliar grassland area.
Thinking of this, Elbek couldn't help but sigh softly.
Khaltaiji, who was lowering his head, had red eyes at this moment.
Although the Ou Anmin in front of him has no title, in Khartaj's view, this is his teacher.朜
Ou Anmin has been in charge of Khartaj's education since childhood.
There was only a brief hesitation in his heart. Before Elbek could speak, Khartey took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Ou Anmin.
"Teacher, this is the first time I call you that."
"I never thought that one day you would leave me. You have always been by my side my whole life."
"The situation is like this, and the general trend cannot be changed. I can't let my teacher abandon the family just for my own selfish desires."
"Today I will carry out the disciple rites and practice them for my teacher."
"Here comes the wine!"
Khaltaj said these words almost choked with sobs.
During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Ou Anmin was appointed as Kharkadej's tutor. For nearly thirty years, the two have been together almost all the time.
Ou Anmin did not choose to leave, which actually had a lot to do with Khaltaj.
However, in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, due to the identity of Prince Khaltaiji, in terms of status, it was not possible to recognize a Han minister as a teacher.
Therefore, although there is the reality of master and disciple, there has never been the name of master and disciple.
Come with a drink in Khaltaj.
The guards under his command looked at Elbek.朜
Elbek nodded slightly.
At this point, there is no need to say that it is unpleasant because of this trivial matter.
"My lord, why... why is this necessary?"
Ou Anmin was in tears at this moment.
He spent more time with Khartaj than with his own son.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
Growing up watching Khartaj and growing up under his own guidance, a feeling similar to that of father and son has gradually emerged.朜
Now, it's even harder to let go.
Khartaj moved his knees, supported Ou Anmin's hands, looked at Ou Anmin seriously and said: "Teacher, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Please forgive me for not being able to provide for you in old age, but if anything happens, I will definitely give everything I have to help the teacher."
The two of them used to hide in front of Elbek on weekdays.
The hidden emotions, at this time, no longer have any scruples.
After all, Ou Anmin is leaving.
At this time, Ou Anmin couldn't help but hugged Khaldaj into his arms, and the emotions in his heart suddenly burst out at this moment.
Elbek just looked and did not speak.
After what Ou Anmin said earlier, he now had mixed feelings in his heart.朜
It's just that the reality is very clear. Even if he knows it, there is no significance in changing it. Judging from the changes in Beiyuan during this period, the Ming Taisun's machinations are not something he can stop at all.
In front of such a person, even if you force a confrontation, you will only be hurt in the end.
Cooperation is the best option at the moment.
It seems that the Ming Dynasty Taisun did not say it was very important for the Han officials to abandon the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but in terms of these preparations for them, it can be seen that they have done enough preparations secretly.
Elbek also heard that even if a Han minister was considered a loner, the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei had found his parents who had been missing for decades.
.....
The Han officials from the Northern Yuan Dynasty returned to the Ming Dynasty one after another.朜
Zhu Ying also quickly published the matter in Di Bao.
Of course, Zhu Ying did not tell the Di newspaper about his methods and preparations, but told about the time when he went to Beiyuan to negotiate and reached a peace treaty with Beiyuan.
Seeing that most of these Northern Yuan Han officials missed their hometown for ten years, they were very moved and asked the Northern Yuan Emperor to release them back to the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, all of these Han ministers in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were considered to have real talents and learning.
During the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, competition was much more intense than it is now. Those who could enter the Northern Yuan Dynasty court as Han Chinese were the best among them.
Meng Yuan is not short of scoundrels. He has a large number of slaves. Simple flattery is of no use. He must have real talents and make real achievements in order to gain the respect of Meng Yuan.
There is no need for Zhu Ying to destroy their reputation. Today's Ming Dynasty is also very short of talents, and there are too many vacancies in various government positions across the country.朜
Too many people are not even literate. Even if we vigorously promote the popularization of education, it is not possible to see results in just one or two years.
It takes a hundred years to cultivate trees, but ten years to cultivate people.
At least until the end of the dynasty, a new generation of Ming Dynasty talents can truly be born.
During this period, all aspects of change in the Ming Dynasty also developed rapidly, especially the development of basic literature for industrialization. There will never be too many talents.
The return of all the Han ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also added great authority to the Ming Dynasty.
Although there was no detailed explanation in the Di newspaper, anyone who knew a little bit about the situation knew that the root cause of the matter was not that simple.
It can be regarded as a good deterrent, which makes some people who want to subvert the Ming Dynasty feel sad.朜
As far as the overall situation in Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is almost sunny.
After reducing the threat from Beiyuan, the scattered tribes on the grassland were simply unable to maintain their resistance to the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, corn feed is particularly valuable for grasslands.
The most critical reason why it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to raise a large number of war horses is the grass on the grassland.
The concentrated feed needed by the war horses was previously unavailable to Ming Dynasty.
Forage is not easy to grow, so it has become an extremely common phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.
The opposite is naturally the young cavalry.朜
Now the situation is completely different. With corn as concentrated feed, raising war horses has become much simpler. A large number of horses have been raised at the border.
Various horse farms have been opened one after another, and a large amount of corn feed is also being accumulated towards the border.
Due to the lack of corn feed, people now don't eat corn very much. All corn is supplied to the border for raising horses.
And because of changes in market demand, the price of corn also
There's a big climb in a short period of time.
The entire northwest region has begun to plant corn on a large scale. Everyone knows how in short supply corn is now.
...
Ming Dynasty, Qianqing Palace.朜
"Dear Sun, you have done a great job in the past three months."
"Again a peace treaty with Bei Yuan and supply them with a commodity, then those Mongolians will give birth to a large number of children on the grasslands now."
"The grassland itself is not enough for them to live on, so their dependence on our Ming Dynasty will become more and more severe."
"The development of firearms cannot be ignored. Whether it is new muskets or various types of artillery, we must pay more attention to it."
"With better firearms, we won't be afraid of these Mongolians crossing the border, and we can seize their daily necessities. From now on, the grasslands can only be our help."
"It's what you told us earlier, what does borrowing troops mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled very happily. Dasun could be regarded as solving a major problem for himself.朜
From the current point of view, Beiyuan's threat levels in all aspects have been reduced to the minimum.
Even in trade, the Daming Chamber of Commerce still made some profits. With the addition of border tax, they also made a lot of money while trading.
The weather has gotten colder in recent years, and grassland fur has always been a best-seller here in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not very clear about borrowing troops.
Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm talking about mercenaries, not borrowed soldiers."
"The difference here is huge."
"The mercenaries in my mind are Bei Yuan who employ a dozen or at most dozens of people in a team to carry out mercenaries in various aspects alone, rather than having a general command."
"The cooperation between them is mainly with our private chambers of commerce and families."
Zhu Ying gives a brief account of this.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "You went around half a circle, and we were all confused by you."
"After all, isn't this just a guard?"
