    Chapter 315 The World is Unified 9 During the voting, for the sake of fairness, Han Zhongwei sent another 10,000 security guards to supervise. In order to show complete fairness, the voting this time was by register.  Although this is somewhat unfair to voters, in this era, who would fight for such rights for themselves?  They believe that detailed registration of their voting is to ensure the fairness and openness of the vote.  Everyone's voting status is registered. If you are not satisfied with the voting results, you can check the voting data.  Because the Mongols are mainly distributed in three cities, and some people do not live in the cities, they still graze in the wild as before.  Therefore, the entire voting took almost a month.  And the Mongolians living in the city, the first thing they asked each other when they met during this period was: Did you vote?  After half a month of statistics, the best results came out. Jamuka invited Han Zhongwei to open the sealed parchment scroll with him.  "Zamuka, you have to be mentally prepared. I feel that the result this time is not satisfactory." Although Han Zhongwei did not see the result, his people supervised the voting of most Mongolians. Regarding the voting situation, they have  a general impression.  Just last night, Lin Rufeng reported to Han Zhongwei that about 20% of the Mongolians did not agree with the annexation to China. Although this proportion was not high, according to the agreement between Han Zhongwei and Jamuka, as long as less than 10% of the Mongolians  Only if he objects, Han Zhongwei will accept the Mongol Khanate's integration into China.  "No matter what the outcome is, it was their own choice." Jamukha did a lot of work during this period. He asked the original leaders of each tribe to persuade their respective tribesmen to agree to the Mongol Khanate's incorporation into China.  But the feedback is not optimistic, and some people are not very cooperative.  Jamukha opened the voting results. The numbers clearly showed that only 75% of the people agreed to be incorporated into China, 20% of the people clearly opposed it, and the other 5% did not vote.  , but their names were filled in on the voting form, which means that this group of people will be treated as abstaining from voting.  "Zamuka, I'm sorry. Maybe in a few years, the time will be better." Han Zhongwei also saw the numbers above. He admired Lin Rufeng's analytical ability, and the results were almost the same as what he analyzed.  "I'm very sad. Many people don't make wise choices." Jamukha sighed.  Although Jamuka appeared very depressed, there was a trace of relief in his heart. After more than three years of invisible wooing by Han Zhongwei, more than 20% of the Mongolians had unswervingly seen his true nature.  Han Zhongwei left the grassland the next day, and Jamuka immediately issued an order. Jamuka was very grateful to Han Zhongwei for helping him design the vote, because he could rely on those votes to know who supported the annexation to China.  And who are opposed to it.  Those who objected, Jamukha wanted to organize them into a separate tribe, personally commanded by his cronies. If they were warriors, they also had to form a separate army so that they could become real Mongolian warriors.  According to Jamuka¡¯s plan, those who voted against and abstained from voting will have to move out of the city and will no longer be able to live in brick houses, but will have to live in their previous tents again.  They are herdsmen who have to graze outside the city and can only return to the city on specific days.  Those who are soldiers should also be sent to protect the herdsmen as before.  The real Mongols in the Mongol Khanate, excluding the Naiman tribe, the Tata tribe, etc., now number about 500,000, and the 25% of the people number more than 100,000.  At once, hundreds of thousands of Mongolians were required to move out of the city, which was no small project.  At the beginning, Jamukha felt that this matter should be easy to accomplish. Since these people did not want to see the Mongol Khanate merged with China, it meant that they were truly bloody men.  But in fact, among the hundreds of thousands of people, except for a few thousand who are willing to live their lives back, the remaining more than 100,000 are unwilling to move out of the city.  They lived in tents for the first half of their lives. Although some people think that living in tents is more comfortable than brick houses, but after they have lived in brick houses for a few years, they can be moved to the original tents.  They all felt that the tent they lived in was so small and dilapidated.  ¡°They are not worthy of being Mongolian subjects.¡± Jamukha shouted angrily when he heard that most of the people who voted against or abstained were unwilling to leave the city.  Can human will really be eradicated?  When did Mongolian men become inconsistent?  "King Khan, if they don't leave, drive them away and force them to leave." Chitai said sharply.  "These people are indeed extremely hateful. Since they do not agree to be annexed to China, they must take action and pass on my order. Chitai, you bring a team of ten thousand people and drive them all out of the city. Such people cannot be forced  It won't work. "Zamukha really wants to kill these people. Success is not enough.A guy with more than enough.  No matter how Jamukha deals with these people now, it can no longer change the fact that the Mongol Khanate can only continue to be slowly and tenaciously annexed by China, not the land, but the people's hearts, will, culture and other aspects.  These invisible invasions are bigger than directly cutting off the heads of Mongolians and occupying Mongolian land.  Han Zhongwei has returned to China. He has lived in the capital for nearly three months. This is unimaginable for a monarch. Han Zhongwei has proven his sincerity to everyone.  However, Jamukha failed to produce data that could convince Han Zhongwei, causing his plan to abort.  Now Han Zhongwei has shown full sincerity. The Mongolian Khanate cannot be merged into China. This is not a problem of Han Zhongwei, but a problem of Jamuka.  He failed to collude with his people in advance. It can be said that Han Zhongwei is not at all to blame.  It¡¯s all the fault of those who voted against and abstained from voting, Jamukha has decided to punish them severely.  But what happens after severe punishment and no loan?  These people will definitely realize how much impact their choices have on themselves. These people can no longer live in tall and spacious houses, nor can they work in the city. Even their livestock and furs can only  It can be traded at Han Zhongwei's previous price, and it cannot be traded directly with Han Zhongwei. It can only trade with the Mongol Khanate first.  Originally, a horse could be sold for fifty coins, but now it was only worth ten coins in the blink of an eye. How could they accept this?  If it weren't for the close surveillance of the 10,000 troops in Chitai, I'm afraid they would have gone to the guard city to trade directly with Han Zhongwei's people.  We are accustomed to low input and high output, but suddenly we have to return to the original low input and low output, and low output means an overall reduction in the quality of life and living conditions.  And Mongolia is about to enter winter. In the vast prairie, the severe cold winter is very deadly. It can not only freeze and starve the livestock that the herdsmen rely on for survival, but also make the Mongolian people suffer in the cold cold.  Shivering in the wind, winter has always been a period of high mortality among the elderly and children in Mongolia.  The capital city of the Mongol Khanate has been built for two years, so the people who were forced to move out of the capital this time have spent at least two winters in the city.  Being in the capital not only allows them, the Mongols, to escape the cold winter, but also greatly reduces the mortality rate of their livestock in the winter.  This issue had already been considered when the capital was originally built. The capital had a dedicated livestock area, enough to house millions of livestock.  But now, people and livestock have been driven out of the capital. They have become accustomed to sitting at home and warming up the stove when the weather is snowy and cold wind is raging. And their livestock don't need to worry about it. There are people in the capital.  Specialized institutions and personnel will take care of it, and even if you don't want to do it yourself, you can still hire someone. The Han people's commission is very cheap.  If even this is troublesome, you can sell the livestock to merchants. Their prices will not be deliberately lowered at any time.  "Abba, this winter is colder than ever before. We can live in tents, but what about those sheep and horses? Can we ask Lord Chitai to help us and send them to the capital to be raised in captivity? After the winter, we can raise them again.  Bring it back." Shuletai is a typical Mongolian and a native of Jamuka. Of course he has deep feelings for Mongolia. Therefore, he, including his family, is concerned about the merger of the Mongolian Khanate into China.  They firmly opposed it. Even though Jamukha was their chief and Jamukha had persuaded them to vote in favor, they still voted against it resolutely.  But now, they were ruthlessly driven out of the capital by Jamuhe. The area around the capital was originally the territory of the Zatara tribe on the plateau. The Shuletai family was also very familiar with the area around the capital. Their pasture was also near the capital.  .  But for these two things, they have become accustomed to living in the capital, and now they suddenly have to return to their old life, and they encounter a rare severe cold. This winter is not easy to live with, it is really a bit cold.  "Shuletai, since King Khan drove us out of the capital, why would he let our livestock live back? There were no cities on the Mongolian grasslands before. Didn't our ancestors come here the same way?" Wututai sighed.  He said that last year and the year before that, his family's livestock lived well in the capital. Only two sheep died in one winter, and they later took them back and ate them.  But this year, I'm afraid more than 200 people will die. The place they chose to live is more than a hundred miles away from the capital. It's not too far, but it's not too close either.  "Then what should we do? Do we just have to watch them freeze to death?" Shuletai asked anxiously.  "I said, how our ancestors lived is how we still live now. Those livestock, if you want to die, die." Wu Tutai sighed, this is a choice he made. Since he opposes the merger of the Mongolian Khanate into China, then  Just think that there will be such a day.  "No, I have to find Mr. Chitai. If it cannot be sent to the capital for the winter, it is okay to sell it now. The price of live sheep is much higher than that of dead sheep." Shuletai disagreed.  "My child, don¡¯t you know that this is King Khan¡¯s punishment for us? Don¡¯t tell us that you are looking for Chitai. Even if you find King Khan, there will only be one result: you will fend for yourself.¡± Wu Tutai shook his head and stopped the operation.  Letai went to find Chitai, but how could the young and energetic Shuletai be persuaded? At night, he quietly went to find Chitai. It turned out that Chitai was their tribal leader, and Shuletai wanted to find him.  "Sir, Chitai, this winter is extremely cold. I don't know how many of the tribe's livestock will freeze to death. I wonder what you can do?"  "The Mongols don't have as many red tapes as the Han people. When Shuletai saw Chitai, he got straight to the point and directly explained his purpose. "Shuletai, I'm not here to help you survive the winter. I have only one mission, to protect your safety.  To prevent you from returning to the capital without authorization, anything else has nothing to do with me.  "Chitai doesn't care whether this winter is cold or not, even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, as long as there are no large-scale deaths among the tribe, he does not need to worry. "Then I will trade now. Those sheep and horses are still alive, who knows?  After this winter, how much will be left?  Shuletai added, in fact, what he likes most is trading with the Han people, but now that Chitai is here to monitor, there is no way to sneak out. "No, except for spring and autumn, trading is prohibited during the rest of the year."  "Chitai cannot allow it even more. If these people are not allowed to suffer, wouldn't it be that they were expelled in vain? "Then what should we do?  "Shuletai was stupid. He could neither send the livestock to the capital nor trade. Could he just watch the livestock freeze to death one by one? If it was just one or two, or even eight of ten,  Just eat it yourself, but if there are thirty to fifty, or even three to five hundred, even if you eat whole roasted sheep, you won¡¯t be able to finish them all. ¡°How did I know?  How about I have a dream at night and ask God?  "Chitai sneered. Shuletai just glared at Chitaiyi coldly and left his big tent. There was a charcoal fire burning in Chitai's big tent, and the tent was covered with a thick blanket. It was warm inside.  Ruchun, whether it was cold outside really didn't matter to him. Shuletai decided to go to the Han people to trade. He didn't dare to go to the capital. Although it was only more than a hundred miles away from the capital, Chitai was in the direction of the capital.  The precautions are very tight. If you are going alone with a few people, just take a detour. But if you want to cross the sea with thousands of cattle, horses, and sheep, it is different. But it is different when you go to the Guard City.  It is more than a thousand miles away, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Mongol Khanate. If it can be traded directly with the Guard City, the price will be five times as high as it is now. When Shuletai left, the sky was already full of snowflakes.  He took three horses and walked for five days to get to the guard city, but he almost failed to get in. Later, Shuletai had an idea and said that he was coming from the capital, and he was let in.  . But Shuletai had been wandering around the Guard City for ten days, and it was freezing outside, but he had not yet contacted a buyer. Although there were many merchants in the Guard City, no one wanted to buy sheep from his tribe. If Shuletai  Tai was able to send all the livestock to the Guard City, and they could buy them at half price. Of course, this was based on the price set by Han Zhongwei, which was still two and a half times higher than the price that Jamukha had set for them now.  After asking all the merchants who bought the livestock, heavy snow has covered the ground. If he walks on the grassland alone, even if he grew up on the grassland, it is easy to get lost, not to mention that in such weather, it is easy to get lost.  It was an impossible task for him to send cattle and sheep to the guard city. The only thing that allowed Shuletai to send cattle and sheep to the guard city was a carriage, but this would require a four-wheeled carriage.  Shuletai pays half of the income for rent, which means that if everything goes well, Shuletai's livestock can be sold to Jamuka for twice the price. Of course, it is only 40% of what it was when he lived in the capital.  In this way, Shuletai also had to take huge risks. If his livestock accidentally died on the road, or the carriage could not move due to heavy snow, all the losses would be borne by himself. But Shuletai did not.  What he thought of was that when he returned to his station and told his father, Wu Tutai would not agree to it in any case. This was an outrageous act. What would be the consequences if Jamuka found out?  Will the country be annexed to China? Why would you dare to take risks once your own interests are affected? "Abba, I have already contacted you. Instead of letting the cattle and sheep freeze to death, it is better to send them to the Guard City and sell them at a good price."  Shuletai said. "Confused, aren't you just slapping yourself in the face by doing this?"  If we had voted in favor, now we could live in the capital, watch the stove, drink milk tea and chat, and there would be no need to frown?  "Wututai said angrily, if he voted in favor at the beginning, is it still necessary now? Chitai's 10,000-strong?But just guarding outside, if he knew about it, I'm afraid there would be no good fruit to eat.  "How could I have known that voting against would lead to this result." Shuletai mumbled softly, who doesn't want to live a comfortable life?  Who doesn¡¯t want to eat and drink spicy food every day?  But sometimes, a random decision can change everything.  "I'm telling you, Chitai sent people to look for you a few days ago, but they couldn't find you. You still dare to do such a thing now. Once the incident comes to light, our whole family will die badly," Wututai told again  Shocking news for Shuletai.  "Oh my god, do we still have a way to survive?" Shuletai cried sadly. In fact, they had been living like this a few years ago, but after enjoying city life for two years, they could no longer  I'm not used to living the old life anymore.  This winter, there are many people who are thinking about Shuletai. This winter is particularly cold. Many people can already foresee the death of a large number of livestock. If they are in the capital, they don't need to worry about this at all.  But this is in the wild. No matter how many tents they have, they are not enough to house so many livestock, not to mention the problem of fodder.  ¡°If Jamukha votes again now, the approval rate will definitely be above 95%, but Han Zhongwei will not give Jamukha such a chance, and Jamukha will not give them such a chance.  Not long after Shuletai returned, Chitai sent people to arrest him. Soon, all the property of Wututai's family was confiscated, and their family would become slaves.  Please go to ( ) to read the novel
