my days with tyrants

early morning.

Yang Feng believed in the snow-covered grassland like a tourist...

Of course, in front of him is actually a battlefield.

Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry who had escaped from the chaos were being driven by the Ming army to trap ahead.

There is a continuous camel wall.

These Mongolian cavalrymen obviously didn't know what this meant. They were cornered by the cavalry of the Ming army on both wings, and they took this seemingly inconspicuous camel wall as a way of escape. There is no cavalry either, as long as they rush over, they can pass through, throwing off the pincer attack of the Ming army's two wings.

Then escape from birth.

On the backs of the galloping horses, the Mongolian cavalry held their bows and mounted their arrows, waiting to get close enough to shoot the Ming soldiers behind the camels.

however……

Flames burst out from the camel's back.

A rapid-fire gun, on a special gun mount, was like a broadside salvo of a sailing battleship, spraying shotguns at these Mongolian cavalry.

Gunpowder smoke filled the snow-covered grasslands.

The Mongolian cavalry who were running wildly turned their backs in an instant.

The fallen horses in front forced the cavalry behind to slow down. It was the first time they encountered such a blow, they controlled the horses and looked at the camels opposite in horror.The soldiers of the Ming army behind the camel finished loading at the fastest speed. In just a dozen seconds, the second round of shells was fired, and then more Mongolian cavalry fell down.The rest finally came to their senses and turned around in panic, but they faced a long wall of camels, and the side rapid-fire guns kept firing as they ran and fled.They kept falling while running wildly, and the number became smaller and smaller, and soon there were only less than a hundred riders left.

Of course, these can't run away.

Because the cavalry of the Ming army had completed the encirclement, they were quickly submerged.

"It's better to use a quick-fire gun on the grassland!"

Zhang Fu said.

He looked at the wounded soldiers who were still struggling and crying in the smoke ahead.

"If these Mongolian cavalry wear heavy armor, it will be difficult for small shotguns to penetrate."

Yang Feng said.

"But after wearing heavy armor, they can't run anymore."

Zhang Fu said.

These cavalry generals do still prefer rapid-fire guns, and these rapid-fire guns were originally improved by Yang Feng. Compared with the original history, the problem of air leakage is much reduced, especially for those guns that are cartridges, and there are similar bullets in front of them. Same bottle mouth.

They're all brass, and the expansion after firing creates a seal.

In fact, there is also the original version.

It's just that the original version is very thick due to material problems, and the expansion effect is better than nothing.

And there is no wooden plug behind the barrel.

The original version was to be plugged with wood and then pounded tightly with a sledgehammer.

But this is a camel cannon.

Not easy to smash.

So after the bolt manufacturing technology was perfected, Yang Feng simply improved them into screw rods. After installing the cannon, the artillerymen behind would use the screw rod to push it to the tightest and lock it at the fastest speed, just like the real breech-loading gun. Same as gunlock.

These rapid-fire guns that were finally improved were not weak.

Large shotguns within 200 meters can still easily penetrate heavy armor.

"We caught more than 1 people in total, and the king said you want them all?"

Zhang Fu said.

"Yes, give it all to me, tell the brothers, I will give you as much as you want."

Yang Feng regained his energy in an instant.

The main goal of his follow-up this trip is to act as a purchaser. This is the exchange condition he negotiated with Zhu Di. No matter how many prisoners of the Ming army, men, women, old or young, he wants them all. These people are suitable for life in the frigid zone and also understand For grazing, in the future, I would rather not just open up wasteland and farm. Animal husbandry is also an important development project.He is currently studying milk powder technology. This is not to say that it is not easy to do. In fact, herdsmen now have it, but it is different from large-scale industrial production, and storage and transportation require technology.However, storage can be done in cans, that is, tinplate cans. This way of transportation can also be solved, but industrial production is indeed very troublesome. The earliest industrial production was drum drying, but that was the middle of the nineteenth century, and the power had already become a steam engine. .

Although manufacturing steam engines is indeed an important development goal for him in the future, at least in the short term, this will not be easy to achieve.

Then it can only be animal power.

In short, the future reclamation group will be a trust based on agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, and mainly on food processing.

Not only Huining, but also Shuofang, there will be more reclamation areas in the future.

He needs people.

What happened to women and children?
From now on, each member of the land reclamation team will have one wife and one concubine.

Zhang Fu didn't say much, Yang Feng wanted so many people, and his disobedience was obvious, but fortunately, his disobedience was open to the public, and the emperor and the officials were all used to it, but King Yan used this Dealing with Yang Feng, this seems to be telling Yang Feng something!

"But how do you send them back?"

he asked.

this problem……

"Which one of you came back from the Central Plains?"

Yang Feng looked in front of him, and it could be said that there was a sea of ​​people shouting.

These prisoners were not only women and children, but also many adult men. The Ming army's favorite attack was actually to capture prisoners, and generally they would not kill them all. Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very lenient to the Mongols. Yes, even more lenient than those Mongolian nobles.Those who surrendered were not killed, and then resettled in the interior, and some of them voluntarily surrendered, a pastoral area was reserved and given to a prison guard, which became an existence similar to a chieftain.Even those who surrendered first and then betrayed and then surrendered will still be pardoned. Even if they settle accounts afterwards, it will be for those princes and nobles with special identities.

Ordinary Mongols are living well, and it can even be said that there are more Mongols under the rule of the Ming Dynasty than under the rule of the Mongolian Khan.

"My lord, the little one fled back from Dadu."

An old woman stepped forward tremblingly and spoke in already blunt Chinese.

Then there are many who have identified themselves.

"Want to go back?"

Yang Feng said.

"Thinking, thinking about it day and night, returning to what the adults said, when the children come back, they don't know how to live here, and they can't stand the customs here. They don't even dare to take a bath here. I can't save my life.

I can't do grazing, and I often suffer from hunger.

In winter, people freeze to death.

Compared with the days in Dadu in the past, it is simply neither human nor ghost.

When the Goryeo envoys came, we all cried to them. "

An old man wiped his tears and said.

This is the truth, the North Korean side did remember clearly for him, when the Goryeo envoy went to the grassland, a group of Mongolians were crying around...

"I am self-proclaimed, trapped between the lines, and I don't plan to restore etiquette today!"

Look, when I saw a Goryeo envoy, they all cried excitedly and said that they had been educated in etiquette again.

Bitter!

It's so bitter!
In the end, it’s okay if you have been eating wind and drinking snow in the grassland. Your ancestors have been used to it for generations, but after living a good life in the Central Plains, suddenly returning to the wind and snow in the grassland, you can really say that people are not human and ghosts.It is nothing more than 20 years, and the days of those years cannot be completely forgotten, and even the living habits of those years are still left behind. This is also an important reason why Mongolia was finally divided into Oala and Tatar.These Mongolians who returned to the grassland from the north, and those who have kept the customs of the grassland like Wala, are basically two ethnic groups.For the grassland tribes such as Wala, they are just a group of bereaved dogs. If they fled back to the grassland to seek their protection, what qualifications do they have to put on the face of an emperor and aristocrat?

But to them, the Wala and other tribes are just a group of vassals, and the barbarians who don't understand etiquette and education have to bow their knees to the superiors like them.

We are sweating profusely!

emperor!

You're just a bunch of savages who don't bathe all their lives.

It would be strange if the two sides did not fight!

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was the stable emperor in the south for 30 years, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty fought in the north for decades. Timur, the king-killing Khan Yasudier, and his son Enke, who succeeded in counter-killing Elebek, have changed six so far.

Then they continued to change.

Change indiscriminately.

It wasn't until Yexian's father broke away that he reluctantly re-completed the unification of things by force.

Then his son was lucky enough to meet a good opponent named Tianzi Jiaomen.

For the Mongolians who came back from the Central Plains in front of Yang Feng, they have been in the chaos of changing six sweats in a row for more than 20 years. He is always eager to return to the warm Central Plains, and even if he can't return to the Central Plains, he can return to Monan, which can be said to be out of the sea of ​​suffering.

"I'll give you a chance."

Yang Feng said.

The Mongols looked at him in surprise.

"I am your new master, King Yan has sold you all to me, and you will all be my slaves in the future, so as long as you are loyal to me, I can let you return to Monan.

And I will give you a life of worry-free food and clothing.

Of course, if you are not faithful to me, then you can only die. "

Yang Feng said.

"Adults, little ones, be faithful!"

Those Mongolians who understand Chinese hurriedly shouted.

This question is not important, originally they were also equivalent to the slaves of those nobles, serving as slaves to the Taijis of the Golden Family is being slaves, being slaves to Yang Feng is also being slaves, as long as they can get rid of this sea of ​​suffering.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Yang Feng said.

"Uh?"

The Mongols looked at him blankly.

"come here!"

Yang Feng pointed to a man who was obviously in his prime and said.

The latter hurried forward, put on a humble posture and knelt at Yang Feng's feet, and then a knife fell in front of him...

"What is loyalty? Loyalty means that if I let you die, you will die without hesitation, so now is the time to prove your loyalty. Pick up this knife and insert it into your stomach."

Yang Feng said.

The man stared at the knife in front of him in astonishment.

"Why, don't you? You can't even do this. Why do you say you are loyal to me? Hurry up, don't you just pick up a knife and stab yourself in the stomach? Even if you die, I will bring your dead body back Monan found a warm place to bury. If you refuse to be loyal to me, then there is no need to keep someone like you, don't say I didn't give you a chance. "

Yang Feng said.

The man continued to look at the knife.

The Mongols behind were silent.

"Balta, don't be looked down upon!"

shouted the old man behind.

"Yes, let's do it quickly. We are loyal to your lord. If your lord wants us to die, we must die too. We would rather die by your lord's knife than suffer from hunger and cold!"

another shouted.

……

Yang Feng looked at them with satisfaction.

And Balta's hand tremblingly reached out to the handle of the knife.

"Come on, prove your loyalty!"

Yang Feng said.

Balta finally grabbed the knife.

then……

"I want your life first!"

He roared and stabbed Yang Feng.

The next moment Yang Feng's foot kicked his chest, and then he flew upside down like being thrown by a trebuchet, drew blood spurting arcs, fell more than ten meters away, hit the ground and twitched.The Mongols were stunned, seeing Yang Feng walk up to Balta and stomp his foot down suddenly. The hard frozen soil and his brute force finally made the latter's head unable to bear it...

"You want my life? Even the emperor of Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with me, what kind of onion are you?"

Ambassador Yang wiped blood and brains from his boots with a disgusted appearance on the snow.

The Mongols were so frightened that they all knelt down instantly.

This is not a mortal, it is clearly a monster...

No, gods and Buddhas.

They bowed their heads tremblingly and lay on the ground one by one...

"come here!"

Yang Feng pointed to the other and said.

The latter cried and crawled to his feet.

"Come on, poke yourself and prove your loyalty."

Yang Feng kicked him with the knife.

The man picked up the knife tremblingly, then looked back at the crowd, and finally turned the knife upside down with his teeth...

"Master, this slave is loyal to you!"

He said.

Then he stabbed the knife suddenly.

"Very well, this is the truly loyal and good servant. Carry him down. As for you, stay here and wait for me. I have already bought livestock for you from King Yan. How did you live before? How will you do next? Live your life. After the beginning of spring, I will come back and take you south. As for where you will go to graze in the future, I will make other arrangements, but you can rest assured that since you call my slaves, I will be responsible for you.

You will never suffer from this hunger and cold again. "

Yang Feng said.

"Thank you, master, for your grace!"

The old man shouted sensibly.

"Thank you, master, for your grace!"

Those who understand Chinese kowtowed to thank him, including the one who stabbed himself, who also struggled to lie on the ground to thank him. He just stabbed himself, and he didn't necessarily die.

Of course, even if he was bound to die, he would not lose, after all, his wife and children could escape the sea of ​​suffering.

"I didn't expect you to let him stab it!"

Looking at the Mongolian who was happily preparing for a new life, Zhang Fu said with some emotion.

"What do you mean? I asked him to stab him, so of course he had to. Could it be that he did it, but I broke my promise? Your set of favors and threats doesn't work here. It's useless except to satisfy your own self-righteousness. Here is to make them fear, unforgettable fear. Grace will not be exchanged for loyalty, it will only make them feel that you are weak, short-term gratitude is useless, but you will have to pay more for the next betrayal, but unforgettable fear can Let them tremble in your shadow every moment.

betray?

Don't even dare to kill him! "

Yang Feng said.
