Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 508 East of the Ganges
"The whole army will retreat to Lhasa!"

Seeing that the tens of thousands of cavalry and infantry did not rush into the formation of the Ming army, Phuntsok Namgyal decisively ordered to retreat.

Although the former military system has been chaotic, fortunately, the Chinese military system has not been hit. The Tibetan army was devastated and began to retreat continuously.

But they were pursued not by arquebuses, nor by flintlocks, but by breech-loaders.

They were harvested from a long distance by the Ming cavalry using breech guns, and tens of thousands of cavalry and horse infantry in the entire army were wiped out. Jun Zhongjun's ass.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of gunshots and the hooves of the cavalry kept ringing from behind. Every time a gunshot was fired, some nobles around Phuntsok Namgyal couldn't help but tremble for a while.

These guys who were clamoring to defend their own interests a quarter of an hour ago are like turtles now, no one dares to stand up and say a counterattack, but they all run towards Lhasa like ostriches.

Phuntso Namgyal looked at the Chinese army and knew very clearly that if they continued to run like this, the retreat would turn into a rout, and once they were routed, the Ming army's butcher knives could be brandished on their heads wantonly.

"Everyone is dead, so it's hard to negotiate..."

Looking at the situation around, Phuntsok Namgyal knew in his heart that once all the soldiers were gone, it was estimated that Daming promised that they would not have any relocation, dismissal, or vacancies. At present, as long as they hold their ground, they may still be able to negotiate with Sun Chuanting .

Thinking of this, Phuntsok Namgyalema shouted to the surrounding nobles:

"Don't be afraid, don't run! You can't run!"

"Let your people be the supervising team, and let the army stabilize its position!"

"quick!"

The nobles reacted after being yelled at by Phuntso Namgyal, and quickly commanded their personal guards to be the supervisory team, trying to stop the Chinese army that was about to collapse.

"Run..."

"Don't run away! The whole family of those who run away sit together!"

"Bang bang bang-"

In the valley, all kinds of shouts merged together.

The generals of the Tibetan army, they hope that the army can calm down in time.

If it is for the army that has already been defeated, their actions are naturally useless, but fortunately, the Chinese army has not yet collapsed. After killing hundreds of deserters, the Chinese army has finally stabilized its position. The slaves in the rear He also calmed down after being hacked by the supervising team.

No matter what nationality they are, there is no shortage of elites in the traditional sense among them, so they are also trying their best to save the overall situation.

"I can't run anymore! Hold your ground, if you run again, you won't even have a chance to surrender."

Compared with the Jin army and the Ming army, the Tibetan army is in line with the army in the East Asian battlefield of this era, that is, once the casualties exceed two, it will collapse.

Phuntsok Namgyal knew that he could no longer defeat the Ming army, but he would not give up his choice when he still had a choice.

He pulled out his waist knife and beheaded several rout soldiers before stopping the rout of others.

The remaining Tibetan soldiers also rejoined the queue tremblingly. Although they were still very scared, they also knew that they had no way out.

Compared with the chaos of the Tibetan army, the Ming army is like a sophisticated machine.

After the chasing Ming army cavalry found that the Tibetan army had stabilized their position, they immediately retreated quickly, waiting for the arrival of the rear army.

At the same time, Phuntsok Namgyal put the long sword back into its sheath, and looked at the dozens of pale-faced nobles with an ugly expression.

"The elite has been lost, even if it sticks to it, it's useless."

"Now, while we still have enough soldiers and horses, we may try to negotiate with the Ming army. Giving up slaves and land is better than dying!"

Phuntsok Namgyal's calculations were very strong. He always wanted to surrender, but the nobles below couldn't hold back their reluctance.

But now, the courage of the nobles has been frightened, and it is time to surrender.

"This... can the Ming army agree?"

Unlike the snowy region regime in modern times where politics and religion were integrated, the Tibetan aristocracy in the Ming Dynasty did not have such a close relationship with religion. They only fought for their own interests.

When they found that they couldn't beat them, they began to weigh up.

In the face of death, benefits seemed insignificant, not to mention that the Ming army did not give them compensation, but they were unwilling, thinking that the compensation was too little.

But now, tens of thousands of corpses were thrown on the road in the valley. After the loss of the elite, they could only choose to surrender.

Judging from the number of artillery pieces of the Ming army, the city walls of Lasa and Sanzhujie could not stop them.

"I talked to Ming Jun personally."

Phuntso Namgyal appeased the nobles, and then put forward his own ideas, after all, he can speak Chinese.

His actions like this undoubtedly made the stones in the hearts of the nobles fall to the ground.

They were most worried that Phuntsok Namgyal asked them to negotiate. Who knows if the Ming army would go crazy and kill them all.

"You take someone to tell the Ming army that we want to negotiate with them."

Phuntso Namgyal appointed one of his own generals, and this general was not timid. Hearing Phuntso Namgyal's order, he rode his horse and rushed towards the Ming army.

In order to show his sincerity, he held the banner of the Zangba Dynasty and rushed to the Ming army alone without any soldiers or horses.

Some Ming soldiers raised their guns, but they were stopped.

In this way, he held a banner and said to the Ming army in Tubo language: "The Great Khan hopes to talk to the Celestial Dynasty alone."

There are many Tubo people in the Duogan camp, and he is not afraid that the other party will not understand: "Wait a minute!"

One of the generals responded, and turned his head to send someone to inform Sun Chuanting.

A group of Tang cavalry rushed out of the formation of the Ming army and ran to the rear.

In just a quarter of an hour, Sun Chuanting got the news ahead, and he probably guessed Phuntsok Namgyal's intentions.

"This Phuntsok Namgyal should have surrendered to Xiang." Sun Chuanting tidied up his clothes, and Zhou Xi, who was next to him, also persuaded him:

"If they are willing to come according to the rules, maybe they can negotiate peace, but after all, they have fought a battle, and their false positions can be deprived. It is enough to give them a break."

"Hmm..." Sun Chuanting's thoughts were similar to Zhou Xi's. After all, Zhu Youjian still needed the Tibetans to assimilate the Western Regions, and killing all the Tibetans would not do them any good.

"Tell Phuntsok Namgyal to come see me himself."

Sun Chuanting gave instructions to the Tangqi team, and the team returned quickly, and then rode his horse to pass the order.

Less than two quarters of an hour later, Sun Chuanting saw a Tibetan army nobleman following Tang Qi on horseback.

When they came to the front of the camp, Phuntsok Namgyal saw countless corpses of Tibetan soldiers along the way, which made him more determined to surrender.

When he came to Sun Chuanting, Phuntso Namgyal lowered his posture, knelt down and saluted, and then got up and said, "Sun Jinglue, I have no intention of being an enemy of Manjushri Bodhisattva, but I was coerced by the nobles below."

"They are stupid and willing to surrender after seeing the strength of the Heavenly Army. I surrender to you on behalf of the 39th Department of the Snow Region."

Phuntsok Namgyal didn't show any caution. After all, tens of thousands of the [-] soldiers were killed. Now he has less than [-] soldiers and horses, so he has no strength to contend with the Ming army.

"You are a monarch, and it is understandable to be helpless. The emperor knows your sufferings and sent me to rescue you."

"There are enough pastures in the Hexi area. According to the rules of the previous surrender, you should be able to graze there, but you are so stupid that you dare to fight the heavenly soldiers. Although you have lost your way now, the rules need to be changed."

With that said, Sun Chuanting looked at Zhou Xun who was next to him, and Zhou Xun took out a copy of the new rules they had just written.

Phuntsok Namgyal took the blank paper and saw seven rules written in Tibetan on it.

In addition to the previous five items, the two additional items are that Tibetan and Pakistani aristocrats must move to live in the Shuofang area of ​​Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, while Tubo civilians can stay in Tubo, but all slaves will move to Hexi to live.

In addition, monks must go to Hexi, and at some point must follow the army to preach to the Western Regions.

In addition, the Tubo nobles no longer had official positions, but only scattered ranks.

The distribution of Sanjie is based on the land of the nobles. If you hand over [-] mu of land, you can get the official position of the second rank, [-] mu for the ninth rank, [-] mu for the ninth rank, [-] mu for the [-]th rank, and so on. It takes a thousand acres of land to jump to the first grade of Sanjie.

As for the cattle and sheep of the nobles, they can take them to Shuofang by themselves.

Phuntsok Namgyal looked at the condition and couldn't help frowning, but soon he relaxed his brows.

He calculated his own land, and in his case, he might be able to get a Sanjie of the first grade, with a salary of 3000 taels of silver every year.

This is not much, but behind this condition, Daming also promised to give enough pastures to the nobles in the snow region.

Hand over one mu of land to get thirty mu of pasture, this is the detailed condition that Daming gave to the nobles.

According to this condition, Phuntsok Namgyal can obtain at least 60 million mu of grassland.

For him, a former Zangba Khan, the grassland of 60 million mu is naturally very small, but the grassland also depends on the location. No matter how far the frontier is in Shuofang, it is still within the territory of Ming Dynasty.

60 million mu of grassland can raise 10,000+ cattle and sheep. After these cattle and sheep are sold in Shuofang, they can earn several 10 taels of silver. In comparison, even though the Zangba Dynasty had tens of millions of mu of grassland, cattle and sheep had no channels to sell. Can only be eaten as food.

Moreover, in the Zangba Dynasty, Phuntsok Namgyal had to raise an army, but after surrendering he did not need to raise an army.

Under the condition of safety and security, he is quite happy to make a profit of several 10 taels of silver every year and only need to pay taxes of 3 to [-] taels of silver.

"I have no problem, please let the angel wait for me to go back and discuss with the nobles."

Sun Chuanting saw Phuntsok Namgyal's expression. After confirming that Phuntsok Namgyal could accept these conditions, Sun Chuanting waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.

Seeing this, Phuntso Namgyal kowtowed again, followed the Ming cavalry and left the battlefield, returning to the Tibetan army.

About half an hour later, the nobles sent news that they were willing to surrender.

At this point, most of the matter in Uzang was resolved, and Sun Chuanting also ordered the nobles to be sent back to Lhasa for custody, while the slaves were released after he brought them back to Lhasa, and the soldiers and horses of the nobles were disbanded.

The only things that need to be cleaned up next are the nomadic tribes of Qiangtang and the Ladakh dynasty.

Almost at the same time, Qin Gongming and others led troops to destroy Ahaomu, Little Brahman and other countries.

So far, the territory east of the Ganges belongs to Daming.

The news of the end of the war was sent to the capital by Tang Qi, and Zhu Youjian was the first to get the order.

He handled the government affairs in the Chengyun Hall of King Qi's Mansion. After learning about the results of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou's battle, he also set up two provinces in Wusi Tibet and Luchuan, and at the same time merged Duogan into Wusi Tibet.

In this way, Daming became two capitals and 24 provinces.

The two provinces were divided by Zhu Youjian into six prefectures in Uzang and nine prefectures in Luchuan, with a total of 75 counties.

However, the population of Uzbek had to be relocated to Han land, and the Han people had to be relocated to Uzbek.

"On the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how many prisoners are there so far this year?"

In the meeting hall of Chengyun Hall, Zhu Youjian asked the six people in front of him, and the six people in front of him were Gu Bingqian, Yuan Keli, Bi Ziyan, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Youjian asked them to come here just to discuss how to manage Luchuan and Uszang.

At the previous court meeting, Luchuan's general arrangements had been made, but the details still needed to be supplemented, and some of Luchuan's interests had to be given up.

When interests are involved, Zhu Youjian naturally wants to mention this group of people.

He asked Zhou Yanru about the prisoners, and Zhou Yanru replied:

"Returning to Your Highness, there are more than [-] prisoners in total."

"Exile Uzang's Bolu Mansion, count the time, when they arrive, Sun Chuanting should recover Ladakh."

Zhu Youjian lightly decided on the question of whether more than 1 people would go or stay, and Zhou Yanru could only accept it.

"Last year, among Enke's students, officials from Yunnan could be promoted to officials from Uzbekistan."

"Your Highness, this..."

Zhu Youjian wanted to directly dispatch officials from Yunnan to take over Uzang. Although Uzang was poor, Uzang had gold mines, so Gu Bingqian was naturally reluctant to hand over the mansion with gold mines to others.

Just facing his words, Zhu Youjian frowned and said:

"I let you read some textbooks of "Yanshan" on weekdays, and you always feel that this is an added burden."

"Nauszang is a plateau. If officials from the plains are transferred to take office, they may be infected with plateau diseases and die suddenly before they arrive at the place where they take office."

Zhu Youjian told this group of people about altitude sickness. Although Gu Bingqian didn't believe it, he didn't dare to refute Zhu Youjian, so he had to give up.

On the contrary, Yuan Keli from the Ministry of Officials bowed and said, "Uzang has set up six prefectures, but after all, the population is sparsely populated, and the Fan people will be relocated out of Tibet, so not many officials are needed."

"However, the Ministry of Officials still wants to ask His Highness, how many officials should be dispatched?"

Yuan Keli lost a lot of weight after a cold winter, and his thoughts were not as clear as before, which made Zhu Youjian feel a little regretful.

Although Yuan Keli supports the Donglin Party, his ability is obvious to all. Just looking at his posture, I am afraid that he will retire this year.

After sorting out his emotions, Zhu Youjian responded: "Sun Chuanting asked someone to make a calculation."

"There are about 6 Fans staying in Uzbek, and about 8 including immigrants."

"The number of officials dispatched, in my opinion, is tentatively set at 1000."

"As for the local armament issue, I have already communicated with the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. More than 1 cavalry in the fourth battalion of the garrison are enough."

Speaking of soldiers and horses, Zhu Youjian glanced at the important ministers, and then said:

"The Guochao will cut more than [-] troops this year. These soldiers need to be resettled. The six and five armies will discuss it with the governor's office. Don't let the soldiers feel cold."

"Yes..." Gu Bingqian and others were a little ashamed. After all, since the outbreak of Lin Danhan's intrusion into the bandits last time, they have never dared to offend the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. They have to ask for things, which makes people uncomfortable.

But otherwise, Gu Bingqian and the others always felt that the group of warriors from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion were sharpening their knives beside them.

No one took responsibility for Lin Danhan's entry into the bandits from the beginning to the end, and officials above the fifth rank were almost fine.

Although Gu Bingqian and the others could also think that the king of Qi and the emperor didn't want to deal with it, none of the officials above the fifth rank was implicated, which is too partial...

Thinking of this, Gu Bingqian and the others unconsciously frowned.

I thought to myself that those warriors dared to dismount even the emperor, let alone their ministers?
Only Zhu Youjian can mention the matter of disarmament, and whoever mentions it will die.

"Wuszang was handed over to the Western Army's Governor's Mansion, and Luchuan was assigned to the Southern Army's Governor's Mansion."

Zhu Youjian talked about things while drinking tea:
"The monks in U-Tsang can only preach in designated places. At present, they can only preach in U-Tsang and Hexi. In addition, the teachings have to be changed."

With some military power in his hands, Zhu Youjian spoke very forcefully. If the monks in Uzang refused to obey the imperial court's order, then he would not mind supporting Buddhism in the interior and driving them to the Western Regions.

"The taxation of Wusi Tibet will be carried out according to the new policy. At the same time, Hong Chengchou will be appointed as the governor of Wusi Tibet, and he will govern Wusi Tibet and build the government and county roads of Wusi Tibet."

"As for Sun Chuanting, he was reassigned as the Northwest Economic Strategy, controlling Shaanxi and Hexi, and then appointed him as the governor of these two provinces to manage the local area and prepare for the recovery of the Western Regions by the imperial court."

Just as Zhu Youjian finished his arrangement, the six important ministers frowned, and Gu Bingqian also bit the bullet and bowed:

"Your Highness, the merits of Sun Boya and Hong Hengjiu are already enough to be transferred to Beijing, and it would be inappropriate for them to serve as important frontier officials."

"There's nothing wrong with it. These two places still need important ministers to stay behind. If we don't send them, should we draw them from among you?" Zhu Youjian asked Gu Bingqian, which made him a little speechless.

The reason why he didn't want Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to be in the frontier was very simple, that is, he was worried that their achievements would be too high, and they would be too involved with generals, so they would not be able to suppress them after they entered the cabinet.

But now it seems that the situation is very clear. Zhu Youjian is determined to support Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, and his obstruction is insignificant.

"Have Luchuan's yellow book been handed over to the household department?"

After Zhu Youjian refuted Gu Bingqian, he didn't give him a chance to say anything else, but asked Bi Ziyan directly.

Bi Ziyan nodded understandingly: "Luchuan, all the yellow books in Wusi's collection have been handed in."

"The cultivated land in Wusi Tibet is only 75 mu, and Luchuan has more. Counting Ahaomu and Little Brahman, there are a total of more than [-] million mu, of which more than [-] million mu belongs to the chief envoy. all."

"On the population yellow book, there are more than 660 million people in Luchuan, which is more than the Ministry of Household Affairs estimated."

According to Bi Ziyan's report, Luchuan's yellow book population is the result of Hong Chengchou expelling prisoners of reform through labor.

But even so, Luchuan still has a large population.

However, it can also be seen from the possession of cultivated land that even though Maung Ki distributed the land to the people once, the land in the hands of the people is still very limited.

The 660 million civilians actually have only [-] million mu, which is less than three mu per capita.

Since Maung Ki arranged this way, Daming only needs to increase the number of acres on their basis, so that the people of Luchuan can live an honest life.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian had to make some arrangements.

"The people of Luchuan will distribute land according to three acres per capita. If they learn Mandarin, they will be divided into two acres."

"As for immigration, it will still be carried out in accordance with the previous migration policy."

Zhu Youjian has probably set a policy. According to his policy, in this year's land distribution, more than 660 million people in Luchuan can get nearly 2000 million mu of arable land.

If they learn the official language of Ming Dynasty, they will hold more than 300 million mu.

From this point of view, even if the people of Luchuan could not learn the official language, there would only be more than 800 mu of arable land left for the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty.

If they learn it, there will only be more than 500 million mu of arable land left for the Ming immigrants.

With the Ming Dynasty’s policy of relocating 10,000 acres of land for one person, the former can support the relocation of nine 10,000+ people, while the latter can only support two [-]+ people.

Therefore, when Zhu Youjian spoke, Yuan Keli frowned and bowed: "Your Highness, is it too much for the people of Luchuan?"

"If you want Luchuan to be stable, this is the only way. Besides, don't forget that Guochao's industry..." Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea.

His words reminded everyone of the tractor fields outside the capital. Although they all saw the benefits of tractors, they also learned about the output and price of tractors.

Listening to Zhu Youjian's words, is he going to use the tractor in Luchuan?

Gu Bingqian, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and others couldn't help but feel pain when they thought that expensive tractors would be used in Luchuan.

"May I ask Your Highness... what is the current annual output of tractors and other things? When will they be able to be used in the country?"

As Wen Tiren is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, it is perfect for him to ask about this confidential matter.

In fact, all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing knew that Zhu Youjian was constantly sending steam engines and tractors to Qi.

The port of Tianjin is set off by ships from the Armament Academy almost every few days, and the destination is self-evident.

Therefore, after the officials learned the benefits of the tractor, they all wondered when Zhu Youjian would leave the tractor for development in Daming.

They already know the number of tractor operators, and they also know the number of soldiers and civilians in Qi State, so they only need to know the output of industry to calculate when Qi State will be self-sufficient.

Once Qi is self-sufficient, a new round of migration will begin.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Da Ming's support to Qiguo will never stop, so they naturally have to make side-effects.

Zhu Youjian was very clear about their thoughts, but he didn't hide it, but said directly:

"Guochao's tractors currently have an annual output of more than [-] units, and will reach [-] units by the end of the year, and will reach more than [-] units in six years."

"As for when tractors will be used in the country, it depends on the promulgation of the New Deal."

new deal...

After talking and talking, I still can't make out these two words.

Gu Bingqian and the others know the reason why Zhu Youjian said these two words better than anyone else.

The policies of the New Deal, "All the households shall be allocated to the mu, all households shall be organized into households, and the gentry shall pay for food and work as one for errands" are advancing, but the speed of advancement is very slow.

At this speed, I am afraid that local officials and gentry will step on the red line to complete the implementation of the New Deal.

If the New Deal is implemented nationwide one year later, they will pay less taxes for one year. Not only that, but they also have many means waiting to be used.

I am afraid that Zhu Youjian has noticed these actions a long time ago, so he has not shown any sign of pushing the tractor into the house for a long time.

Now that Zhu Youjian suddenly said the New Deal, he was blatantly threatening Gu Bingqian and the others.

After knowing the benefits of the tractor, he didn't believe that those gentlemen behind Gu Bingqian and the others could hold back.

Since you can't help it, and you can't deal with yourself, then be obedient and promulgate the New Deal.

If it is not promulgated and wants to continue to delay, then Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting can join the cabinet.

When these two people entered the cabinet, the powerful gentry would have no right to speak in the court, because the forces behind the two of them were military generals.

Thinking of this, Gu Bingqian and the others had a bad face, while Zhu Youjian was still drinking tea by himself...
