Chapter 177: Steal the slaves of the Mongolian nobles and declare your right to rule!
New people like Lu Zimin also value the academic performance of their children.
For them, hearing their children reading in the city every day can make them forget all their hard work.
But if your own children don't make progress or their academic progress is slow, they will get angry and feel embarrassed.
In fact, these common people will not be able to hold their heads up in front of others because of this, and will lament that this is their fate. As common people, they should not have wishful thinking, but as long as their children study well, they will be full of great hope, just like It's like taking a shot of chicken blood, and if you work harder, it seems that your family's destiny will change, and you will even be able to become an official like the county magistrate.
Lu Zimin is luckier, and his children are more promising. They are among the best in Chinese studies, arithmetic, and general knowledge. So now he has to start thinking about making more money to prepare for the travel expenses and expenses for his children to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination in the future. The cost of marrying a wife in the future.
Following Zhu Houzhao's instructions, Zhang Cong directly followed what he had learned at the Capital University in Yulin City and compiled the social studies courses in Yulin City into three courses: Chinese studies, arithmetic, and general knowledge.
Chinese studies mainly include the Three Character Classic of Primary School.
Arithmetic is naturally mathematics.
Common sense is to understand that you are a Han family, your own emperor, your own country and hometown, etc., and also introduce the method of determining test scores by scores.
This also allows even people who are illiterate like Lu people to know whether their children are good at reading or not, without having to listen to their teachers use polite words like "children can be taught" or "children still need encouragement". Guess whether your child will have any future.
The people of Lu are not worried about not being able to make more money. Whether it is the royal family, court officials or businessmen, many of them have opened mines nearby or hired people to farm the land, and they will pay workers as compensation, and because the city has just begun to be built, the labor force It's not much, and the wages are not low, so as long as he is diligent and willing to work hard, it won't be a problem to earn forty or fifty taels in one or two years.
Zhang Cong now understands more and more why his Majesty the Emperor always did not hesitate to use any kind words to praise the people of his Han family when he was at the Capital University.
He now had to admit that these Han people, who were usually looked down upon and even despised by scholar-bureaucrats like him, were indeed the most hardworking people in the world. If they were given a piece of land and a stable environment, they could turn a desolate and uninhabited land into a deserted place. The land becomes a fertile land where chickens and dogs hear each other and the houses seem to be there.
"Pang Guard! Zhang is ready. Now you can declare your right to rule to those herdsmen according to His Majesty's will!"
After Zhang Cong signaled to Pang Guangyuan, the garrison officer of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Division of the Guards, he and Pang garrison rode towards the grassland outside Yulin City.
Naturally, they were followed by the entire third cavalry regiment of more than two thousand cavalry.
Yulin City is outside the Great Wall, east of the Hetao. This area was close to Hohhot in later generations. It not only had cultivated land, but also hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile pastureland and grassland.
Due to the internal migration of the Ming Dynasty, these places were naturally occupied by the Mongols, and they were occupied by the Mongols from the tribes under the little prince. Although the little prince and his large tribe are not here now, some small tribes and some scattered herdsmen are still grazing in this area.
But now that the Ming Dynasty has come back, and turned this place into a county in Datong Prefecture, and set up floating officials, these pastures and the herdsmen grazing on the pastures naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty! Naturally, it can no longer belong to the little prince and other Mongolian nobles!
Because of this, Zhang Cong, with the help of the Guards, came to declare to these herdsmen the Ming Dynasty's right to rule over them!
As the county magistrate appointed by the Ming Dynasty, he is naturally the only person who currently has legal authority to rule these herdsmen. The previous ruling rights of the Mongolian nobles were illegal!
When Zhang Cong and Pang Shoubei came to a grassland with the Ming Dynasty cavalry, the herdsmen in the grassland were instinctively alert and prepared to resist. They also seemed a little panicked. Some even informed the leader of their tribe.
Zhang Cong did not let Pang's cavalry attack first. He only asked his staff who could speak Mongolian to shout:
"Everyone! The land you are grazing now is the land of the Ming Dynasty. You can own the sheep you graze on this grassland, but you must recognize that you are the people of the Ming Dynasty from now on!
Otherwise, I will kill the intruder!
But if you want to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you must first learn the official Chinese language of the Ming Dynasty and wear the clothes prescribed by the Ming Dynasty. If you are willing, the court can allocate pasture land to you, but only after you truly become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, anyone who killed or robbed the people of the Ming Dynasty must first serve ten years of hard labor! ”
"They are all slaves of Ben Meng'an (an official position below ten thousand households)! You Han people dare to rob the slaves of Ben Meng'an, how bold!"
At this time, a Mongolian nobleman named Zakzhong rode up with hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, pointed at Zhang Cong and yelled.
If there weren't thousands of Ming cavalry standing behind Zhang Cong and Zhang Cong was still wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, he would have wanted to kill Zhang Cong and chop him in half, because as a Mongolian nobleman, he had never seen Han people dare to snatch it. Those who are their own slaves are usually the Mongolian nobles who rob Han people and make them their own slaves.
"Everyone, why do you need to be slaves with some golden family? It would be great to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. You have your own pasture and your own property. You will not be killed by the slave owner at will. Your wife's chastity will only belong to you. !
We are here to rescue you according to the decree of His Majesty the Ming Emperor. Since you are on this land, you can become His Majesty the Ming Emperor's subjects and you can own this pasture!
Our great Ming Emperor is the lord of the world! It is your eternal life!
Only He can give you the gospel!
Even if they punish you for your past sins, they will only make you perform hard labor and will not cost you your life. Only those who enslave you and even force you to sacrifice everything, including your wives, daughters and lives!
Only the Tartar nobles who oppose the Ming Dynasty will be severely punished by His Majesty the Ming Emperor. His Majesty the Ming Emperor will not only kill them for the Han people, but also kill them for you! ”
Zhang Cong's staff continued to shout.
After hearing this, the Mongolian noble Zakzhong became even more angry, because he had seen some of his newly snatched slaves being agitated, so he hurriedly threatened:
"Anyone who dares to become a Han Chinese will have his whole family killed and his meat chopped into pieces to feed to wild wolves!"
Zak planted such a threat, and the Mongolian slaves who had been frightened by his lust for a long time hurriedly hid their hope of becoming normal people. However, because of this, they lost the morale to fight with the Han cavalry in front of them. After all, they said I'm here to save myself.
Pang Shoubei took the initiative and led more than two thousand cavalry under his command to kill Zac's cavalry.
But the herdsmen suddenly turned into spectators. Many of them were tribesmen who had just been robbed from other tribes by the little prince. Naturally, they had no feelings for the Zac tribe and other tribesmen, and they were even willing to see these insults. The enemy tribe of his wife and daughter was massacred by the Han people.
