    ???????????????????

    The sledgehammer struck the iron drill, carving out holes in the hard stone. Both those wielding the sledgehammer and holding the iron drill were shirtless Mongolian men!

    Since they were defeated by the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army and brought to Beijing, they have begun this endless work!

    The men dug mountains and cut rocks, and the women dug trenches and leveled the soil. They were surrounded by Ming army guards armed with crossbows and long knives. As long as anyone resisted or tried to escape, they would be shot to death by the Ming army like rabbits.  , and then cut off the head!

    But these Mongolian prisoners of war don¡¯t particularly hate such days. Although there is no freedom here, they don¡¯t seem to have much freedom on the grassland under the hands of the leader!

    Although there is endless hard work here, even on the grassland, people like them have endless things to do. They herd horses and herd sheep all day long, and there is no idle time!

    But here you can eat enough. Even though the food you eat is bread mixed with bran, it is enough to keep you full. And it is three meals a day. Plus the vegetable soup cooked in the big iron pot, it is still very satisfying.  of!

    The most important thing is that there are as many men as women here, and those women are no longer controlled by the bosses. As long as they are in the same mood, they can slander and fool around with their beloved women at night!

    As long as the women don't yell, the Ming soldiers who are guarding them will not mind their business. It seems that being a prisoner in the hands of the Ming people is not a bad thing. It is better than starving on the grassland.  !

    This is a very common thought among the Mongolian prisoners after they stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a month. Of course, some people don¡¯t think so. Those leaders always think about how to run back to the grassland and live a high-ranking life again!

    It¡¯s a pity that the leaders¡¯ ideas conflict too much with those of the herdsmen, so those leaders who secretly contact their herdsmen to escape are always betrayed without hesitation!

    The head was chopped off by the Ming army, hung high on a wooden pole, and stood on the edge of the construction site or work shed to warn all restless people to work honestly!

    With these hard-working workers, a nine-foot-tall monument with a five-story base is being built in the mausoleum area of ??Tianshou Mountain, at the western foot of Tanyu Ridge, at the location of the later Deling Mausoleum!

    The official road from Beijing to Datong is also being repaired in full swing, and the renovated official road uses a kind of clay made from clay, lime, iron slag or furnace ash.

    Although the refining of this kind of lime soil is cumbersome and will make everything gray, the effect is surprisingly good. Spread the mixed lime soil and gravel together on the compacted roadbed and smooth it!

    After the dust is completely dry, it will become extremely hard. Even if you use a pickaxe or a sledge hammer, it will be difficult to cause obvious damage to such a road surface!

    However, Zhu Youxiao, who handed over the firing method of earth and cement to the Ministry of Industry and asked them to use earth and cement to build roads, knew that this kind of road had a very bad shortcoming!

    That is, after a period of time, the soil and cement will be crushed into slag layer by layer. By then, even the cement road that is still very strong will be damaged, and the dust will fly when the wind blows!

    But even so, cement roads are far better than rammed earth roads, and Zhu Youxiao has asked the Ministry of Industry to allocate manpower to search for asphalt mines. In the future, he will use asphalt roads to connect the entire Ming Empire!

    The First Army of Datong has returned to Datong a long time ago. The generals who originally wanted to return their own soldiers suddenly found that the soldiers they raised were unwilling to go back with them!

    And they didn¡¯t dare to ask Cao Wenzhao for it, because the military flag inscribed ¡°Datong First Army¡± was flying high where the soldiers were stationed!

    Now they are no longer someone's personal soldiers, but the "Datong First Army" directly under the direct control of the general military officer of Datong Town. Not only do they have enough food and pay, but all the credit for the war is theirs!

    The most commendable thing is that the name of the First Army of Datong stands there, so that all the soldiers under such a banner have a kind of arrogance that no one else can match. That is the support given by His Majesty!

    Cao Wenzhao is not a domineering person. He has long said that he will never stop those soldiers who are willing to go back, but he does not have the guts to disband this army named by the emperor himself!

    So from now on, the Datong First Army is the treasure of Datong Town, Gada, and cannot be separated no matter what. In response to this, those Datong generals can only knock off their front teeth and swallow blood, and they have to admit it!

    On the other hand, the personal soldiers of the eight town deputy generals, because they were not from Datong in the first place, and wanted to go back to each town to serve as seed soldiers, so they all followed their commanders back, and at the same time they followed the deputy generals of each town.Those who returned were also the military police sent out!

    With Xiong Tingbi¡¯s generals in hand, this group of military policemen are going to check out vacancies and farmland in various towns. Therefore, wherever this group of people go, they are destined to be unwelcome, but they are also people that no one dares to provoke!

    Of course, this kind of inventory is also slow and urgent. For example, in places like Ningxia Town, Yansui Town, Guyuan Town, Jizhou Town, and Gansu Town, because they are not major war zones, the verification is extremely strict and no buffer is given at all.  room!

    ??But important towns such as Liaodong Town, Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Taiyuan Town, which have frequent wars, naturally have to relax a lot, especially Liaodong Town. Because they are facing the Dongqi directly, Xiong Tingbi ordered the suspension of verification!

    Xiong Tingbi did this very safely. Checking vacancies and farmland was originally a matter of taking money from people's mouths. If something went wrong, something would happen. Even if something happened to those unimportant border towns, it wouldn't matter.

    But if Liaodong Town causes trouble at this time, the eagerly watching wild boar skin will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. By then, Liaodong Town will definitely not be able to withstand Donglu's attack!

    So Xiong Tingbi was open to the Liaodong Town network, but he did not just condone it. In order to completely stabilize the Liaodong war situation and conduct verification on the Liaodong Town in the future, Xiong Tingbi also made two preparations!

    The first is to increase the strength of the "Datong First Army" from more than 2,000 to 5,000, and accept his appointment as the chief instructor responsible for training this new army!

    The second is to let the generals of Liaodong Town understand one thing through Zu Dashou. Although the court wants to use them, it will not condone them. Although it cuts off their financial resources, it gives them new financial resources!

    This first-hand preparation is to show force, to use five thousand "Datong First Army" to shock all the generals in Liaodong Town, so that they can accept the reality peacefully and not do anything extraordinary!

    The second step is to lure them with benefits, letting them know that there are many opportunities to make a fortune, and there is no need to take short quotas and occupy farmland!

    Facts have proved that Xiong Tingbi's method is still very effective. Although Liaodong Town was not required to immediately verify the vacancies and farmland, the military commander still ordered the verification!

    At the same time, Xiong Tingbi also began to prepare for the opening of the three mutual markets, releasing news and preparing supply sources. He was very busy for a while.

    On the other hand, Mao Wenlong, the newly appointed chief officer of the Liaodong Navy Division, occupied Pidao and at the same time began to exchange Ming Dynasty's cloth and porcelain with North Korea for money!

    As for Jeju Island, which Zhu Youxiao ordered him to occupy, Mao Wenlong did not forget it. Even though it was winter, he sent a fleet to directly capture the small Jeju Island, and arrested all the civilians on the island to prepare  Send it to Beijing to exchange for money!

    Of course, North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also clearly marked as a country without conquests. Mao Wenlong occupied his island and captured his people, which made him feel a little scared!

    So before escorting the North Koreans to Beijing to exchange for money, Mao Wenlong first wrote to the Ministry of War, telling the Ministry of War that he had completed the tasks assigned by the emperor, occupied Phi Island and Jeju Island, and captured many Koreans, and asked the Ministry of War for instructions on what to do!

    The reply from the Ministry of War was also unambiguous. It actually commended Mao Wenlong for his achievements, and then issued instructions for the captured Koreans to be used as laborers to strengthen the defense of the two islands, or sent back to the capital to be sold as slaves!

    After receiving such clear instructions, Mao Wenlong finally let go of his courage. Not only did he send the Koreans captured on Jeju Island to Tianjin by boat, he also landed many times along the way and arrested many more people!

    When the warships of the Liaodong Navy brought more than 700 Koreans to Tianjin for the first time, the whole Tianjin was in a sensation. Before those captured Koreans could be sent to Beijing, they were killed by wealthy people in Tianjin.  Bought a clean one!

    This group of rich people not only bought out all the Koreans, but also placed an order with the Liaodong Navy, hoping that they could send more Koreans, especially women from northern North Korea!

    After receiving the order, the Liaodong Shuishui Division happily returned to Jeju Island with the money and reported the matter to Mao Wenlong. As a result, the first overseas slave hunting frenzy of the Ming Empire began!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
