Chengji-Tula City, all the nobles, tribal leaders, etc. in the city have been driven out by Han Yi. At this moment, they cannot maintain enough trust.
However, these tribal leaders and nobles did not dare to have any opinions on this. When they heard that they could leave, they immediately fled here and returned to their own tribes.
In order to show their loyalty to the Emperor of Heaven, some tribes quickly sent a large number of tributes, such as fine mink skins, deer skins, bear skins, wolf skins, etc., to show their loyalty to the Emperor of Heaven. loyal, but also afraid that Ming would continue to attack them.
With only 10,000 Ming troops, they captured the city of Chengji-Tula in less than half an hour. The Siberian Khanate was simply vulnerable to the powerful Ming Empire.
Being able to surrender to the Ming Empire is considered a blessing. At least compared to the Kazakhs, they were lucky. Only a few people were killed, and most of them were fine.
It's just that the object of allegiance has been changed, and you can still live in this ancient land in the future. Other than that, there is not much difference. Even according to the laws promulgated by the Ming people, they need to pay an annual fee. Taxes are much lower than before.
After driving away the original tribal leaders and nobles in the city, the 10,000 Ming army began vigorous construction again.
A large number of four-wheeled carriages came here from the river and the Western Regions to transport a large amount of materials and manpower. At the same time, a large number of merchants smelled the business opportunities and prepared to come here with goods to exchange for the furs in the hands of various tribes.
Fur is not valuable here, but it is very valuable in the Ming Dynasty. A high-quality fur can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver when it comes to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
But here, you may only need to spend a few dozen kilograms of grain to exchange it from these tribes. They have a variety of furs in their hands.
Only these merchants can know how much profit there is, but you can know the value of fur just by looking at the swarming fur merchants.
"Huo Yun, pass on the order. While it is still midsummer and the temperature here is still relatively high, the city walls, garrison barracks, government offices and some important buildings must be built."
"At the same time, a large amount of food is mobilized from this side of the river. Enough food must be stored before winter. The supplies needed for the five thousand troops to survive the winter must not be less."
Han Yi continuously inspected the city. Ten thousand Ming troops turned into construction workers, using cement and steel bars to build solid city walls. They also built garrison barracks, Ming government offices, commercial streets, immigration areas, etc.
Time is very tight, summer will be over soon, and it will become very cold by then. All these must be built before winter, and at the same time, enough food, wood, winter supplies, etc. must be stored for the winter.
After occupying this place, the imperial court will also exile some prisoners here. Although these prisoners are exiled, they still need to be given basic protection.
"Yes, sir!"
Huo Yun quickly took out his pen and quickly wrote it down. He will be responsible for stationing here and will also be fully responsible for the affairs here.
While talking, the two came to the newly built city gate. According to Ming Dynasty custom, the name of the city must be engraved on the city gate.
"Sir, please think of a name."
Huo Yun looked at the new city gate and said to Han Yi. 牺如 suyingwang.net 牺如
"Hmm~"
Han Yi looked at the newly built city gate. This city gate was tall, and its structure and style were all in the style of the Ming Dynasty. It looked much more pleasing to the eye, and it also looked more majestic and culturally rich. It was not like the original city gate. It was very It is ugly, crude, very primitive, backward, and full of barbarian atmosphere.
¡°Let¡¯s call it Winter City!¡±
Han Yi pondered for a while, thought for a while and said.
"Winter City!"
"Good name, good name!"
When Huo Yun heard this, he also smiled and praised.
"Haha, take whatever you want. Because it's too cold here, it's called Winter City. In a few months, you can feel the cold of this Winter City."
Han Yi smiled, naming new places that were included in the Ming Dynasty had already become a routine operation. He, Han Yi, had already given names to many places.
The original names of many places were very long and unpleasant, and did not conform to the habits and culture of the Ming people, so they had to be changed.
&nbsTo the west, the Principality of Moscow is a tough one. "
"It was originally a country under the Golden Horde. It specifically collected taxes from Slavic countries across Eastern Europe on behalf of the Golden Horde. With this rapid development and growth, it became the most powerful among the many Slavic countries. .¡±
"About forty years ago, the Principality of Muscovy got rid of the control of the Golden Horde through war, and together with the Tatars in Crimea, they destroyed the Golden Horde, and eventually evolved into The current situation.¡±
¡°The Principality of Muscovy is rapidly growing in strength, and it is also very ambitious. It continues to expand its territory in all directions. It has attacked the Kazan Khanate several times and occupied Kazan, the capital of the Kazan Khanate.¡±
"For such an ambitious country, our Ming Dynasty must take precautions early and make sufficient preparations. Now we are driving these Kazakh tribes away, just to let them deal with the Principality of Muscovy."
Han Yi was riding a horse while patrolling and chatting with Huo Yun. As a senior general of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the western border, he also knew the situation in this area well.
¡°This is also the purpose why our Ming Dynasty supports the Crimean Khanate?¡±
¡°There are considerations in this regard, and of course it is also to obtain slaves from Eastern Europe.¡±
"At the end of last year, the Muscovite Principality also sent envoys to Nanyun Province to protest to our Ming Dynasty, saying that we must cut off contact with the Crimean Khanate, and the tone was very loud."
"We were not allowed to sell weapons, and we were not allowed to engage in slave trade with the Crimean Khanate. In short, they made a lot of demands, but in the end they were driven back. It is said that we Ming people will look good in the future."
"Haha, they can also make us Ming people look good?"
"Don't underestimate them. In ancient times, they were Slavs, one of the three major barbarian tribes in Europe. Their former Grand Duke married the last princess of the Eastern Roman Empire and claimed to be the successor of the Roman Empire. You will know their ambitions." Mi He Mi
