In order to accelerate the expansion of the Ming Dynasty and prevent Tsarist Russia from advancing eastward, Zhu Youxiao moved a large number of Han people to the vast area of Northern Saibei, which had not yet clearly belonged to it, and built cities and established commerce.
On the one hand, he took advantage of the political struggles within the court to exile frustrated scholar-bureaucrats and nobles to these places.
Let these scholar-officials assimilate the local primitive residents.
On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao rewarded the border guards sent to these places by confiscating the money from these scholar-bureaucrats.
As a result, the soldiers were not dissatisfied with being stationed in the bitter cold outside the Great Wall all year round.
However, the scholar-bureaucrats who were demoted and exiled due to failure in the political struggle were naturally dissatisfied with this.
But their dissatisfaction cannot change the overall situation except to resist with words and words.
Cao Rong was carried to the Chief Secretary of Beishan.
It's been a tough journey.
He had to endure the pain caused by the severe cold weather and the threat of wild beasts. He also had to endure the loss and loneliness of being far away from the political center of the empire.
But he found that there were many scholar-bureaucrats like him who were exiled and even their entire clan was exiled.
He found that the living standards of these people here had indeed dropped seriously. The life of fine clothing and fine food in the past was long gone, and they had to farm by themselves.
Just reading is not useless.
Listening to the sound of reading loudly coming from the newly gathered village, Cao Rong couldn't help but smile.
But when he thought that the sound of reading was all caused by his Han Chinese officials being exiled here, he fell silent again.
He knew that the Chinese pronunciation here came at the expense of his own scholar-bureaucrats.
"The meaning of your coming here is to practice your ideas and use the knowledge and culture you have mastered to educate the primitive residents here, let them know etiquette, learn Chinese and wear Chinese clothes. You are the sowers of our Chinese civilization and are I am the evangelist of Chinese civilization! This is the best place for you to realize your ambitions in life. Zhang, please take care of me, gentlemen!"
Zhang Tongchang, the first governor of Beishan, came with Cao Rong.
Along with Cao Rong were other civil servants who had been exiled or demoted here for various crimes.
At this time, Zhang Tongchang spoke in front of these people in a primitive settlement called Okhotsk Ferry, in front of Cao Rong and other exiled civil servants, and he behaved quite To be polite.
After all, everyone here is Han Chinese.
"And the first thing you have to do is to accept the women of the original inhabitants here as wives or concubines, reproduce with them, and teach them Chinese and Zhou rites. In addition, you also teach the young children here."
Zhang Tongchang continued.
The army he brought has conquered the chiefs here through force and goods, and forced the natives here to receive Chinese education.
The natives here could only agree and were willing to exchange their girls to the Ming army.
Now Zhang Tongchang asked Cao Rong and other civil servants to choose the remaining indigenous girls that their officers and soldiers had already selected.
A criminal scholar named Jin Zushun was exposed and sent here because he wrote a post insulting the chief minister Bi Ziyan and deceiving the Lord with monstrous words.
At this time, because his mother's heart was overflowing, and seeing that Zhang Tongchang was quite polite to scholars like them, he had the courage to say: "This girl was bought by force. How is she different from a bandit? Let's let her go." For us to choose is really an insult to my character as a scholar! I won’t choose!”
Zhang Tongchang directly drew his knife and pointed it at an indigenous girl: "Okay! You don't have to choose, but later, she will be executed because you don't choose! The purpose of letting her live is to marry you and benefit me." The Han family took root and multiplied here! If it doesn’t even have this meaning, it will be useless and food will be wasted in vain.”
Jin Zushun's breathing became rapid because of this, and he could only say: "You let her go, it's my choice!"
Zhang Tongchang walked towards Cao Rong, who had the highest official position among the civil servants before he was dismissed: "Cao Qiuyue, do you want to choose?"
Cao Rong complained: "Since ancient times, I have only heard of marriages with princesses, but never seen marriages with scholars. The Ming Dynasty alone pioneered this example, which is truly worthy of historical records."
"This is ridiculous! This court is giving scholars the opportunity to practice their Confucian ideals. It is a just act to save these indigenous girls who were treated like goods by their fathers and brothers! It is different from the past marriages, which were made by the court for the purpose of making peace. At the expense of women, the royal family married the indigenous chiefs in order to eliminate wars and each oppressed their own people. Now, the purpose of letting scholars educate the indigenous people is to save the indigenous people, civilize them, make them know etiquette, and then make all places The people all love each other, which is an effort to realize the idea of great harmony between the old and the old, and the young and the young! Isn’t it great?”
Zhang Tongchang argued.
As a scholar, he was not like other generals who allowed these civil servants and scholars to talk nonsense.
Cao Rong didn't know how to argue.
However, these civil servants are still reluctant to choose these indigenous girls. It is not that they are all noble in character and not close to women, but that these indigenous girls are not good in appearance.
Some are even as strong as bears.
You must know that the scholar-officials of this era were influenced by Neo-Confucianism and had a particularly perverted preference for female sex. Not only did their feet need to be soft and manageable, but they also had to be very thin. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a thin horse in Yangzhou. In addition, the breasts must be small, otherwise many women in this era in history would not have breast binding.
But now these indigenous girls in front of them are not only tall, but also have big feet, and they are also very thick. Their chests are even bigger than those of Zhang Tongchang, a big man who has been practicing his chest muscles all year round. These civil servants and scholars in front of them may suffocate if they bury their heads in them.
Therefore, it can be said that these indigenous girls did not meet the aesthetic point of these civil servants at all, so that they did not want to choose.
Seeing this, Zhang Tongchang could only order: "In that case, delegate the right of choice to the indigenous girls and let them choose their own husbands."
It didn't take long for the native girls to spring into action.
These civil servants who were exiled here panicked, like frightened little sparrows.
"Don't! Don't! It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance!"
Jin Zushun, who was considered a pretty boy, had acted like a hero just now, so he was very popular with these indigenous girls. At one time, several of them came to grab him, tugging at him, and even wearing animal skins to twist around in front of him.
Jin Zushun shouted nervously and fearfully.
In the end, the two indigenous girls, the ugliest, strongest, tallest and most inferior, chose Cao Rong, who was physically disabled, and carried Cao Rong to the tent assigned to them by the army.
Cao Rong couldn't help shouting: "What a shame! What a shame! Your Majesty, why do you humiliate our Shilin like this just to open up new territories! Ugh!"
Immediately afterwards, Cao Rong just shouted in the tent: "No! No! Dear sisters, don't do this! I'm seriously injured and can't move. Don't make it difficult for me!"
…
"Zhang Tongchang and the others have arrived at Beishan. Your Majesty, you named the mouth of the Huo River. Zhang Tongchang said that it is not completely frozen yet and is still navigable. You can build a city and trade here."
Bi Ziyan was talking to Zhu Youxiao about building a city in Beishan.
Zhu Youxiao therefore asked: "Where has the Rakshasa Kingdom (Tsarist Russia) invaded eastward now?"
Zhu Youxiao has taken the initiative to regard all the Siberian regions in the north as an integral part of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Rakshasa Kingdom's eastward march in history has been regarded by him as an act of aggression.
"According to a secret report from the Jinyi Guards under my command, officers and soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom have appeared not far from the Huo River, conquered the indigenous people there, and built a city called Yakutsk!"
Tian Ergen replied.
