Chapter 269 The Last Noble in the Grassland

Although people live in this world, their lives are completely different.

For example, the Liao King Zhu Qi was already preparing to have a big vacation for himself at this time, but on the grassland, Nahachu had no chance of having a vacation at all.

Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated and was captured by the Northern Yuan Emperor, Naha's heart has become cold.

He wanted to find Wang Baobao at the first time, but Wang Baobao was beaten to retreat step by step before, and later he even disappeared when he was dismissed.

There was no backbone on the grassland. Some people said that Wang Baobao died in the war, while others said that Wang Baobao ran west to find Emperor Timur of the Timur Empire.

After all, they are all from the same family, so it was natural for Wang Baobao to find Emperor Timur of the Timur Empire.

However, Nahachu was only in an occasional caravan and had heard of the Timur Empire.

It seems that I have very strong strength to occupy a large area of ​​territory recently, and even have the intention to invade the Ming Dynasty and restore the Dayuan period.

But I just heard that, I don’t know what the specific one is.

But the situation is already like this. Whether Wang Baobao died or not actually had no big impact on the situation.

Nahachu was still thinking about how to surrender to the Ming Dynasty while protecting his strength.

But the current situation seems that the Ming Dynasty does not intend to accept its surrender.

Even after Naha came out, he was willing to surrender only without claiming to be king, the Ming Dynasty still did not accept it.

This made him feel a little regretful. If he had known that he had surrendered before, he would not have used the title of King Liao, and surrender directly and leave half of the territory. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

This Ming Dynasty would never refuse, right?

Naha had a very good idea, but the actual situation was not what he thought.

With the efforts of King Zhu Qi of Liao, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wanted any noble to retain his territory.

It can be said that in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, except for those great lords who had not surrendered, the other chiefs who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty now only nominally retain control.

But the officials of the Ming Dynasty had penetrated into all aspects of the Northern Yuan grassland.

And we began to build towns, pave roads, and various large-scale construction activities were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Of course, such construction activities must be carried out step by step.

It is impossible to travel across the grassland from the beginning, but it is undeniable that once cities and roads are established, those herders enter the city and then go from nomadic to farming.

The other chiefs have no actual rights.

The Northern Yuan nobles who had a large area of ​​territory like Naha, were naturally on the list Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with.

Even if Nahath is willing to surrender, at this critical moment, it is impossible for him to retain his territory.

After all, the Northern Yuan Dynasty no longer had an enemy that could compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Baobao never saw him, and the Northern Yuan Emperor was in his own hands, and all the other nobles surrendered.

Does Nahachu still feel that he can fight against the entire Ming Dynasty with his own skill?

The reason why we did not deal with Nahachu was because the more important thing in the Ming Dynasty was to digest the newly occupied Northern Yuan Dynasty.

There is also the territory on the Goryeo Peninsula, especially the Goryeo Peninsula. Now the Ming army has begun to enter various cities on the Goryeo Peninsula and supports the puppet regime of Wang Mian.

However, although Wang Mian became the King of Goryeo, he has not shown his face in public for many days.

As for why, there is no need to say more, and the Ming Dynasty's plan is to find an opportunity to announce Wang Mian's accidental death later.

Then, from his youngest son, he picked a King of Goryeo and pushed it out, and just used it as a flag.

So the Ming Dynasty is still quite busy now, so it is natural to take it for granted.

Nahachu didn't know this. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty had not come for a long time, he thought that the Ming Dynasty hoped to resolve its problems peacefully.

So he said he was thinking that just in case, the Ming Dynasty could accept that it would retain the throne.

However, after so long, he did not get the consent of the Ming Dynasty, and even got Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding.

So Nahachu was a little panicked. He felt that if he dragged on like this, the Ming Dynasty might have to send troops to attack him.

So Nahachu was a letter that he kept writing to the Ming Dynasty, but even to this level.

Nahachu was still thinking about being able to surrender decently, and the Ming Dynasty retained its own land and title, etc.

It was only in October of Hongwu that Fu Youde led 100,000 troops from the Ming Dynasty to the territory of Naha and began to conquer the city.

Only after Nahachu realized that the Ming Dynasty was determined to not allow any nobles on the grassland to continue to exist.

All the territory of the Ming Dynasty must be directly governed into its own administrative system.

At this time, it would be too late for Nahachu to surrender again.

Fu Youde didn't care about this at all, and whether Naha would surrender or not.

This is determined to capture Naha's entire territory and then arrest Naha's like the Northern Yuan Emperor.

Nahachu was also very sad. If he had known this, why would he have been the first?

Then he said there was no suspense in the battle here.

On the 10th day of Zhu Qi's holiday, he received news from Fu Youde's complete victory from the grassland.

The Ming army was advancing too fast. Even if they were driving a motorcycle, it would not be enough to occupy this place in these 10 days.

It can only be said that Naha has no bargaining chips to resist. The remaining surrender of the North Yuan soldiers is really too fast.

But this is also a good thing, and the war against the Northern Yuan Dynasty can be ended soon on the military level.

On the economic level, the Northern Yuan can be better transformed and the economic lifeline of the Northern Yuan can be controlled as soon as possible.

By improving the lives of the people, we can integrate the Northern Yuan into the empire formed by the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

The bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty is now operating at an orderly and high speed, and is fully committed to digesting the behemoth of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The same is true on the Goryeo Peninsula.

Since Li Fangyuan died, the other Goryeo warlords naturally did not have the courage to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

As for the generals Li Fangyuan waved, they were all frightened and kneeled down on the ground and allowed the Ming Dynasty to deal with it.

Although Li Fangyuan seemed to be dead by himself, it had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.

But this result is also dead. Who can guarantee that it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty?

What's more, Li Fangyuan had just met the god-like Liao King Zhu Qi. Maybe it was the Liao King Zhu Qi who used magic to kill Li Fangyuan.

Zhu Qi is a god who came to earth, so it is natural to know how to use spells.

When the officials thought of this, they were trembling with fear. His Highness the King of Liao was so terrifying.

This is exactly the legendary person who came from the sky by sitting in the pot at home. At least Zhu Qi never expected that Fu Youde could defeat this Naha, which would be considered a credit for his own efforts.

After Fu Youde completely defeated Naha, there was no nomadic force in the north of the Ming Dynasty that could threaten the Ming Dynasty.

But the vacant grassland vacuum must be filled with time.

After all, the grassland is a place that many nomadic people yearn for. After the defeat of the Great Northern Yuan Dynasty, the exposed power vacuum will definitely lead to people from all sides who want to come and eat a bite of meat.

If the Ming Dynasty was not faster, a new tribe would soon appear.

What Ming Dynasty has to do now is to integrate these tribes into the city.

The most important thing now is to make them docile through farming.

And this operation will definitely not be able to be completed in four or five years.

It took at least several years to build a city, but the nomads had already begun to gather towards a fixed gathering point under the guidance of Ming officials.

Then, under the leadership of craftsmen, we began to build our own houses and gathering points.

However, there are also many herders who are very nervous, but after all, they have been grazing since they were born to survive.

Now they are suddenly not allowed to grazle, they are allowed to farm.

It is natural to feel uneasy. After all, like a farming nation, he works hard in the fields and reaps his own food.

They have no experience in this kind of thing and will feel uneasy. What the Ming Dynasty needs to do is to let them taste the sweetness as soon as possible.

At least use corn to give them a bumper harvest in seven or eight months.

After the sweetness comes, these nomadic peoples on the grassland will fall in love with farming life and follow the Ming Dynasty to the dark.

And on the grassland, economic transformation is carried out in an orderly manner.

Zhu Qi's holiday was interrupted before a month, and news came again from Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Qi back again, but this time he went back was not given any military missions. After all, most of the people around him could fight.

In the next few years, the Ming Dynasty will be responsible for digesting these established territories.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Qi back was that he had a new task, which was to preside over the latest imperial examination reform.

Zhu Qi mentioned the reform of the imperial examinations to Zhu Yuanzhang as early as the 12th year of Hongwu.

It has been 18 years since Hongwu and 6 years have passed. The preliminary preparations for reforms that can be made have long been made.

At least in the Imperial College, there are basic science subjects such as mathematics and physics, and they have started teaching three years ago.
