The Americans are finally here!
They were captured... to be more precise, the Mongolians and Han people who were captured as Americans are now being taken to the Ming Dynasty on the bank of the Huang River, eighty miles north of Ulan Butong Mountain. In the American prisoner of war camp next to the military camp!
The wooden castle located on Ulan Butong Mountain is actually just a set, with nothing inside except lanterns and torches. The purpose of Zhu Heji's people to build this set was of course to coax Ge Erdan to take the bait. That's Ge Erdan who likes to touch eggs with stones! How could Zhu Heji be fooled by Ge Erdan? So after learning that Ge Erdan was coming back to lie down, Zhu Heji immediately instructed the Military Advisor's Office to start formulating a plan to encircle and annihilate Ge Erdan's main force. Moreover, he has even planned the whereabouts of the prisoners captured by Ge Erdan... all of them will be sent to become Americans!
It’s not fun to be an American these days. Now Ming Dynasty ranks first in the world in total GDP and per capita! With a population of 50 to 60 million, it occupies more than one billion acres of developed land. It basically monopolizes three top industrial chains such as porcelain, silk, and sugar. It also has crucible steel, crystal glass, dyed cotton cloth, etc., which are still somewhat popular in the international market. Competitors’ top industry chains. There are also perfumes and garlic medicine, which are small in scale but extremely profitable industries. In addition, Daming’s competitiveness in international shipping, overseas zero-dollar shopping, animal husbandry and financial industries is also rapidly improving.
So if someone calculates GDP these days, Ming Dynasty will be ranked second. Who dares to say first? As for the United States... Even if the Indians catching buffalo and the white people catching Indians are included in GDP, there is no way to compare with the Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, Ming Dynasty not only had a high GDP, it was also a society with equal wealth. The Ming Dynasty had the "three equalizations" of equalization of land, equalization of labor and equalization of taxes. Although the equalization only extended to clans and village communities and not to individuals, more than 50% of the equalization was retained (based on the whole country, Northeast and Because Sichuan's population is too small, it can only develop large farms, private fields, and official fields. But to achieve such an average, I don't know how far it has progressed compared to those civilized countries where sheep cannibalize people or where serfdom has not been completely abolished. .
The Ming Dynasty has also begun to promote four-year compulsory elementary education across the country. It has also opened a large number of government-run primary schools and government-run middle schools, and also opened many universities in major cities such as Nanjing, Beijing, and Guangzhou.
In addition, in the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty, various provincial capitals, and cities in developed areas, there was also a "public hospital", that is, a government-run public hospital!
Therefore, the current Ming Dynasty is a real country on the top of a mountain, and it is still in the stage where the people value hope.
In this era, the people of Ming Dynasty were certainly the happiest in the world. Therefore, it is very difficult to recruit people to go to the New World and become "Americans".
In Han areas, including Korea, the Ming court had established the penalty of "exile to the New World" to replace most of the death penalty and prison sentences. .
But in the Mongolian vassal territory, the Ming Dynasty did not set up a law department, and of course it was impossible to capture many Mongolians to become Americans. Moreover, it is very difficult to recruit immigrants from the banners of Inner Mongolia directly under the imperial court... These Mongolians who belong to the Ming Dynasty are doing well now. The pasture land allocated to them by the Ming Dynasty court is large and sufficient. Feed many cattle, sheep and horses. Several provinces in the north and northeast of the Ming Dynasty had fewer people and more land, which were suitable for the development of horse farming, so there was a great demand for mules and horses. At the same time, the Ming court began to build captive horse farms "jointly operated by banner people" in various banners in Inner Mongolia, and also exported "Macau horses" to these horse farms, which were Lutasino horses originating from Portugal. Therefore, the people's livelihood in all banners of Inner Mongolia is now developing well, and no one wants to leave their hometown to go to the United States to herd sheep and horses!
And it's not like just any Mongolian sent to the New World can go sideways. The combat effectiveness of the Inner Mongolian banner people living in the Monan Grassland and the Dongdao Grassland is not very impressive. They were "captive" Mongols who had been kept captive by the Qing Dynasty for decades, and some of them who were able to fight were taken to "print" by Kangxi. The rest are all peaceful Mongolians, the kind who recite sutras more and cause less trouble.
The Mongols in Junggar are amazing. Not only are they "wild", but they are also the most ferocious among the wild Mongolians. In history, one family could still survive against the Qing Dynasty, Rakshasa, and Kazakhs in a one-on-one battle. If they hadn't encountered smallpox and Even Emperor Qianlong may not be able to eliminate them due to internal strife.
So it is most appropriate to capture them and take them to the United States to lead the charge!
In order to capture these future Americans, Zhu Heji spent a lot of money. He not only dispatched three Ming army infantry towns and Guards cavalry towns (composed of Guards cavalry, Sauron cavalry and Baerhu cavalry), but also mobilized strategies. A total of more than 80,000 people were mobilized by the Dzungarian cavalry from Warabutan and the Chahar cavalry from Burni. After dawn, seven or eight hot air balloons were launched into the sky. A dragnet was laid for Ge Erdan's subordinates on three levels inside and outside!
Of course, it’s not like nothing slipped through the net... Ge Erdan and his soldiers slipped through the net!
If Zhou Peigong, "the best reverse strategist in the world", had been following Ge Erdan, he would probably have escaped. But he was too clever, and when he saw something was going wrong, he led his men to sneak ahead.
As a result... he was caught by Burni's men before he could slip too far, and was tied up and taken to Zhu Heji's tent. When he was escorted, Geerdan's generals Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu, as well as a dozen Otok Zaisangs below, had already arrived first. Moreover, they have all been untied and given seats, and Zhu Heji and Anukedun are lecturing them!
Zhu Heji was responsible for speaking Chinese, and Anuke Dun was the translator.
"Ge Erdan is the first culprit in this matter. You and Anu are all slaves! Since I can pardon Anu's crime and make her Mrs. America, I can naturally exempt you from the crime." Sin... As long as you serve Anu and her son American Khan Zhu Celing well in the future! And I will not withdraw the vassal state of Junggar, but will only divide Junggar into five parts. Erdan's eldest son, Sebutengbalzhuer, is still the king of Shunyi, and Tumutchuan grassland and Guihua city belong to him. Cewang Alabutan, Sonomu Alabutan and Danjin Omubu each receive a share. , I will allocate the territory of the Junggar Grassland, Ili Grassland, and Khovd Grassland to the three of them. In addition, the territory of the Yerqiang Khanate, except for the Six Guards of Hami, will also be temporarily managed by Cewan Alabutan.
Ranwen
As for American Khan Celing and American Mrs. Anu..."
Zhu Heji looked at Ge Erdan's uneasy men and said with a smile: "Their fiefdom will be in the New World on the other side of the ocean... There is the vastest and most fertile grassland in the world! They are all in the United States. Khan, you go first, the American Khan will go to the country when he grows up."
"But..." Anukodon said pretentiously, "But how should we get there?"
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Anu, you don't have to worry, I will make arrangements for you... There will be big ships to take you across the ocean, and you will go in batches. There will also be horses, Send weapons, food, etc. together. I hope you can establish a firm foothold on the other side of the ocean!"
At this time, Zhu Heji had already seen Zhou Peigong, who was personally escorted by Burni.
After Emperor Zhu Da finished speaking, he glanced at Burni. Burni immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my men have captured Zhou Qiuguang!"
Zhou Peigong became anxious when he heard what Burni said, and quickly corrected him: "Zhou Peigong...my name is Zhou Peigong!"
Burney raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "Stop talking nonsense, who doesn't know that you are Zhou Qiuguang, the military advisor who always gave Kang Mazi bad ideas?"
