"Report to Your Majesty, Jizhou has come to report that Ma Shilong and others have already raided Manta'er and escorted a large number of Tatar prisoners and captured war horses back to Jizhou. The specific number of prisoners and war horses are already on it. Please read it yourself."

Capital.

Xiong Tingbi handed Zhu Youxiao the memorial submitted by the Governor of Ji Liao in Jin.

After taking it over and looking at it, Zhu Youxiao said, "The Tatars might think that we were just captives, but what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning of our territory. What we needed to do next was to use these prisoners to mine in the Yuanbaoshan area of ​​Wei, Daning. The first thing to do was to use these prisoners as miners, to turn them from herdsmen to workers, and to enable the coal mines in the Yuanbaoshan area to be used by the court as soon as possible."

"We have to hurry up, because the climate is colder than in all dynasties, and the world is short of coal. Now, when the steam engine is used, it is even more scarce than gold! Therefore, opening a new coal mine early can solve the coal shortage problem one day earlier."

Yuan Keli took the conversation and added.

"In addition to mining, there is also the matter of renovating official roads. Fortunately, there are already many connections between Jizhou and the capital. The official roads have been built long ago. Now only one official road from Daning to Jizhou is needed. After this calculation, it is still not enough for prisoners. We have to recruit more people from nearby."

Xu Guangqi said at this time.

"But now there is a shortage of migrant workers in the capital area. The canal transportation has to be used for a large number of canal workers. Various manufacturing workshops between Tianjin and the capital also require a large number of migrant workers to apprentice. However, the capital area is not very large, at least not as large as in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, at present, we can only recruit from places with rich labor in the south, otherwise we will have to raise wages!"

Bi Ziyan said at this time.

"Then let's recruit some places where labor is rich in the south! Anyway, there is no road induced system, and corvee labor has been deposed. It just so happens that people in places where labor is rich but construction projects are not many, so that people in places where labor is rich in construction projects are not enough to make money. In addition, since prisoners are not enough, we can capture more prisoners. In my opinion, we can increase the reward for capturing a prisoner, so that the soldiers who are fighting can kill less and catch more live ones, and even reduce the killing of good people and profiteering. After all, what the court needs most now is labor, and the wages do not need to be spent a lot of labor. As far as I know, the wages required by local migrant workers in the capital are no less than the price of hiring a shopkeeper. It can be seen that my own people in the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more valuable. Since this is the case, we should use more prisoners and capture more prisoners. This will benefit the country."

Zhu Youxiao said, "But these prisoners must be managed well. As the saying goes, if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different. What we need is their labor, but they do not need their civilizations that are different from us and their thoughts of belonging to different countries and nations. This requires us to assimilate them so that they can subtly forget that they are slaves of the Golden Family, and only recognize that they are descendants of the Chinese migrating to the grassland, and have the same language and race as the Han people and other ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, thus realizing the complete assimilation of the Tatars!

Therefore, we must change the way of dealing with Tatars and recruiting Tatar nobles in the past. In order to rescue and assimilate the ordinary Tatars who were oppressed and enslaved by their nobles, and to win over the nobles of the Tatar center to the Ming Dynasty, strongly suppress the reactionary and stubborn Tatar nobles, achieve the purpose of uniting the majority and suppressing a small number of them. In the future, the same should be done to the unsinized Shengfan in the southwest. Doing this now can also be regarded as accumulating experience in promoting the kingship in the southwest. This time, the first batch of Tatar prisoners who were taken back must strengthen them when they were sent to the Yuanbaoshan coal mine factory for labor.

Those who like to work assimilate, those who are young need to learn Chinese characters, learn Chinese dialect, and write Hanfu. The subjects they are first designated as Chinese, history, and common sense. The literature, history textbooks and common sense textbooks specially compiled by the Hanlin Academy, so that they know that I am the savior to rescue them. They need to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and then completely eliminate all attempts to prevent them from surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and becoming slave owners of the free people. For the older ones, after the labor ends, they gather together to study Chinese dialect at night and ask Hanfu to be the ones who do not follow them, so that they will be exhausted and exhausted!"

"Abide by the order!"

Yuan Keli replied.

...

Zhu Youxiao and his courtiers have already arranged to appoint corresponding officials from the Daning Cheng Announcement Department of Political Envoys and officials responsible for the development of Yuanbaoshan Coal Mine.

Qi Biaojia also served as the inspector of the Daning Inspector Censor and supervised the Yuanbaoshan coal mine business as a member of the Ministry of Industry's Mining Department.

Shortly after Zhu Youxiao Yu Zhengshi issued such an edict to the ministers, Qi Biaojia also received such an edict here and prepared it in detail according to Zhu Youxiao's edict.

Before this, a group of Mongolians captured by Ma Shilong and others were sent to Qi Biaojia, Daning, by the Governor of Ji Liao, in Jin.

At this time, Qi Biaojia began to arrange these prisoners to start mining.

There were many Mongolian prisoners escorted, and many of them were the nobles of the Chahar tribe.

Because Ma Shilong and others sent troops to attack Lin Dankhan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan's khan'

Taiji Longan was one of the captured nobles of Chahar tribe.

"What exactly is the Ming army going to do? Why did we take us to this wilderness instead of going to Beijing to offer prisoners, executing them or showing them to the public?"

Longan was surprised at this time because he was taken to Yuanbao Mountain in Daning, and said to Taiji who was calling Darei beside him.

Dare replied: "Will we all be buried alive here?"

Longan became more and more uneasy when he heard Dare say this, and said, "It's just a pity that we are all handcuffed now, otherwise we should really run out immediately."

"Everyone kneel down!"

Before these prisoners were asked to start a mine, Qi Biaojia ordered all of them to kneel down.

Longan and others naturally did not dare to disobey, so they knelt down.

"Easy to come and go!"

Then, Qi Biaojia gave a new order.

A group of soldiers who had already prepared began to appear in front of these prisoners. One of the soldiers stood in front of a prisoner and began to untie his hair, tie it back into a bun, put it on the top, and then wrapped it with a cloth strip, directly transforming his hair accessories into a hair accessories of the Ming Han people of this era.

Many prisoners became puzzled and uneasy, and asked why.

Longan asked at this time: "What are you doing? Why do you change our hair accessories!"

But what Longan didn't expect was that next, they were asked to stand up, and then they were forcibly cut off their clothes and replaced with Hanfu.

Longan understood this and said, "You are making us easy to betray our ancestors, and you might as well kill us directly!"

But not long after Longan shouted loudly, he was pressed to the ground by the two officers and soldiers who came over and held his hands down.

Then, two more officers and soldiers came over and held their legs down.

Longan didn't know what they were going to do, but Ah An struggled.

At this time, a medical soldier came and brought a first aid kit made of a wooden box. He squatted in front of Long'an, opened the first aid kit, first stuffed a cloth into Long'an's mouth, then took out the knife, put the knife on the fire and started burning it.

Not long after, Longan screamed.

At the same time, a general translator outside shouted: "Anyone who refuses will refuse to accept the king's transformation, and there is no need to continue his descendants, and they will be castrated!"
Chapter completed!
