On the afternoon of July 26, the thirty-fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, Xianbei City, Xianbei Principality.
The location of Xianbei City is Novosibirsk City in another world.
It was originally the largest city in the Lucian Empire east of the Urals and the most important hub on Lucia's Eastern Railway.
Now it became the capital of the new Xianbei Principality.
July is the warmest time in the Xianbei region, and now there are busy construction sites everywhere inside and outside the city.
In the very center of the original Xianbei City, a huge oriental-style palace was under construction. It was the new residence of the Duke of Xianbei.
The Ministry of Construction of the Ming Dynasty issued a design drawing of a mansion suitable for use in the Western Xianbei area in accordance with the standards for the mansions of foreign vassal monarchs.
The Ming court dispatched project construction command personnel from the Ming Dynasty to use local workers and materials to direct the construction.
An old worker from the Ming Dynasty served as the foreman, and local Tatars and Lucia worked on the construction site.
In addition to the newly built Duke's residence, there are many large and small projects inside and outside Xianbei City, which are being fully constructed in time for the summer.
There are low-cost concentrated housing, basic public facilities such as water and electricity, simple woolen textile factories, larger railway stations, and new railways to Kazakhstan, Khiva, and Persia.
The Ming Dynasty Royal Consortium and the Royal Engineering Company advanced the early construction costs of related projects, and then slowly repaid the debts after the Xianbei Principality stabilized.
This is actually an investment by the Ming court, which can quickly stabilize the situation in the Xianbei Principality, and at the same time increase Ming's control over the local area.
At this moment, inside the Xianbei Railway Station, which is under expansion, a passenger train from Lucia mainland slowly drove into the platform with its whistle blowing.
After the train slowly came to a stop, the doors of each carriage opened one after another, and a large group of confused, hesitant, angry, and somewhat yearning passengers began to get off the train.
Among them are Lucians, Tatars, Ukrainians, Poles, Lithuanians, Estonians...
But they all have one thing in common, that is, most of them wear Ming-style clothes.
They were all selected from the interior of Lucia, west of the Ural Mountains, and were considered to be "Ming elements" who aspired to the Ming Dynasty.
They do not fully support the plan to split the Lucia Empire and build a new Minghua state in Xianbei.
Their ideal is not to enlighten Xianbei, but to completely enlighten Lucia.
The current split plan seems to them to be just a compromise.
And although they are Minghua elements, not all of them may be willing to come to the Xianbei Principality.
Where they originally lived, most of the eastern part of western Thailand, the environment and climate were much better than the Xianbei Wasteland.
Most of them were screened and forcibly sent here by the Lucia Empire guards.
It's just that their resistance is not particularly strong. After all, they are all Minghua elements, and now they are coming to the Minghua country.
Liu Yi, a young Turghut man whom Lucia classified as a Tatar, ran out of the carriage and stood there for a long time.
He looked at the bustling crowd around him, all wearing the same style of clothes as himself.
Looking at the guards standing guard in the distance, they are all wearing Ming-style military uniforms.
Looking at the buildings being built in the distance, it is obvious that they are all in the Ming Dynasty style.
Liu Yi was a little excited, and then sighed sadly.
Finally, Daming Yayan, who had a strange accent, sighed to himself:
"Why didn't my father follow the Khan back to the Ming Dynasty? If he had gone back, I would be a Mongolian in the Ming Dynasty now!"
A Thai-Spanish young man behind him pushed Liu Yi, and while paving the way, he smiled and said hello, using an even weirder Daming dialect:
"This dear friend is from Turgut? Have you ever thought that if your grandfather had gone back then, you might not be here anymore..."
Since these people want to become Minghua elements, they must first be literate.
Otherwise, they have no idea what Lucia culture is and what Ming culture is.
Ordinary illiterate farmers don't care whether they are ruled by Lucia or the Ming Dynasty. As long as they can have enough to eat, they will be thankful.
Therefore, most of these Minghua people are intellectuals, and some of them are very high-level and can talk about things like white horses and non-horses.
Liu Yi, the young Turghut man, immediately started to argue with Xi Yi who came from nowhere:
"I definitely exist, I just might not be who I am now..."
As a result, the other party immediately answered:
"Isn't the you who you are now still you?"
"Okay, you two, stop arguing..."
A young Tatar man in military uniform came over and interrupted the two of them:
"Hurry out, we have to send the big Lucian elements to the car soon and take them back to Lucia mainland."
Facing soldiers with live ammunition, the two had to resist the urge to argue.
Liu Yi subconsciously walked out and asked the young man in military uniform:
"Are you also a Mongolian? Serving as a soldier in the Xianbei Principality? Does the Xianbei Principality allow us Tatars to join the army?"
The young Tatar soldier apparently answered similar questions many times:
"Of course, this is the Xianbei Principality, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, not Lucia's vassal state.
“Xianbei’s army system and weapons are all made in Ming Dynasty.
“Although most of the senior officers are nobles familiar to the Duke, the middle-level officers and soldiers are a mixture of Lucia and Mongolians.
"The army's instructors and supervisors are officers from the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Yi subconsciously praised and said:
"That would be great. Then the Xianbei Principality will be able to integrate into the Ming Dynasty soon, and we will also have the opportunity to become real Mongolians of the Ming Dynasty..."
The young Tatar soldier suddenly laughed in a very disgraceful way:
"Everyone wants to become a Ming Dynasty person. It's so easy to become a Ming Dynasty person. First, straighten your tongue, haha..."
Liu Yi's expression was a little embarrassed, but not angry:
"Before, there was no environment. The surrounding people were either Tatars or Thais. When I get here, I will definitely change my accent to a standard one..."
In today's world, "Tatars" is not a specific ethnic group, but a very general term.
The Mongols, Kazakhs, Turghuts, Xianbelians and other ethnic groups in Lucia are collectively called Tatars.
On this basis, Tatars, Turks, Persians, Arabs, and Indians are collectively called barbarians.
The word Mongolian has been specialized and belongs exclusively to Mongolians who were born in the Ming Dynasty and had Ming citizenship.
In fact, there are almost no such people anymore.
As a nomadic group, the Mongols have the habit of plundering people everywhere, both men and women.
Women can give birth to children, and men can become the fighting force of their own tribe.
Therefore, the blood and genes of the Mongols are very messy.
In later generations, three countries tested the genes of Genghis Khan's close relatives, and the results showed that they were likely to be Liu Bang's descendants.
This kind of test is based on the male Y chromosome, so these relatives of Genghis Khan are still the descendants of Liu Bang's male descendants, not the results of Han women going to the grasslands to marry.
Relevant scholars speculate that it was probably at the end of the Han Dynasty that some Han clan clan members ran to the grasslands and mixed with the grassland peoples. As a result, some of the descendants thousands of years later became successful.
Of course, these relatives of Genghis Khan had long been completely Mongolian, and they did not know that they were probably descendants of Central Plains people.
The large number of Tatars in Lucia was originally Lucia's most troublesome group.
Because of Ming's strength, Lucia did not dare to force them too much, but it was impossible to reuse them.
Once they have a basic knowledge base, they can learn to read and read newspapers and understand information and common sense from all over the world.
You can quickly learn that the Mongols, who are closely related to them, are members of the most powerful empire in the world.
Although a small number of pure Mongolians in the Ming Dynasty are still often regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains people, they actually have Ming citizenship.
After they left the Ming Dynasty, they had a high status in all vassal states and other countries, and in the entire world.
Whether you are in Persia, India, Dashi, or in the countries of Thailand and Western countries, it is very convenient to do anything.
Lucia also formed Tatar troops to deal with the Ottomans in the early days. After the war with the Ming Dynasty, she did not dare to let them serve as soldiers at all.
The higher the status of the Tatars and the more they know about the world, the more they want to be the Mongols of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no reaction from the bottom.
At the same time, the higher the status of the Tatars, the more wary Lucia becomes of them, which in turn makes them want to be Mongols even more.
If the Tatars were to lead their troops to fight the Ming Dynasty, they would first have to worry about whether they would revolt before the battle.
Now Emperor Lucia simply handed over these Tatars to the Principality of Xianbei.
Since the Ming Dynasty signed a peace treaty with Lucia and the Xianbei Principality was officially established, a large number of Tatars gathered from the Crimean Peninsula, the lower reaches of the Volga River, and the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains and were sent to become citizens of the Xianbei Principality.
Those who have served as soldiers may directly become officers of the Xianbei Army, and those who have served as low-level officials can also directly become officials of the Xianbei Principality.
Although these officers cannot be regarded as real Mongols for the time being, they can already become people of the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, they were able to establish a substantive relationship with Daming, and their identities also underwent major changes.
From the original fringe ethnic group of Lucia, a group that was guarded and vigilant, it became the main ethnic group of the Xianbei Principality of the Ming Dynasty.
I can still put on the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty and show off my power openly and openly. If I insist on saying that I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I can barely get by.
At the same time, Lucian immigrants in the Xianbei area were also selectively sent back to Lucia itself.
The most important task of the principality troops under formation in the Xianbei Principality is to screen out "Great Lucia elements".
Then they were put on the train back to Lucia.
Liu Yi and other "Minghua elements" followed the Tatar soldiers out of the platform.
After Liu Yi expressed his ambition to improve his accent, he ran out of words to chat with this Tatar officer who had a more standardized accent:
"You shouldn't be sending all the Lucians back to Lucia itself, right? How exactly do you screen out the Lucians?"
The Tatar officer said with a smile:
"How you were screened out is how they were screened out, but they are a little more intense..."
At this time, everyone had already walked out of the platform, and the officer pointed outside:
"That's right over there. Do you think this needs special screening?"
Liu Yi immediately looked up and saw a large group of people.
They were all dressed in Thai and Western attire and in a state of agitation.
There were intermittent roars in Lucian:
"Long live Lucia!"
"Drive away the Ming Dynasty invaders!"
"The Lucia Empire cannot be divided!"
"Tatars and Mings get out of Lucia!"
"My compatriots, don't be Ming Dynasty's dogs!"
A large number of soldiers from the Xianbei Principality wearing Ming-style military uniforms were standing guard around with Ming-style rifles.
From time to time, someone tried to rush out from inside, but was immediately shot back by the guards with rifle butts.
Many people were suffering from head injuries and bleeding, and many people were curled up on the ground. They were obviously directly injured.
Most of these people are of Teishite appearance, and should be mainly Lucians, who were former Lucian immigrants.
The image of soldiers is complex and diverse, but a large part of them are also Lucians.
Liu Yi opened his mouth and said:
"This...is...you said it a little more intensely?"
The Tatar soldier shook his head helplessly and said:
"They were a little better when they were alone. When they saw us wearing Ming-style military uniforms, they just showed a little excitement and hostility.
"But after they gathered together, the situation got a little out of control, and the brothers had no choice but to be more vicious..."
Liu Yi frowned and said:
"This... this might cause trouble. Have you asked the Ming Dynasty Warlord for his opinion..."
The Tatar officer said of course:
"The Overseer said they would really cause trouble if they stayed, so just try not to kill anyone..."
Look at the Ming Dynasty 1805.8.2...m. :
