No one dared to disobey the Daming Emperor's order, so the leaders of the Jurchen tribes began to gather in Shenyang. They had no choice but to gather. If they didn't go to the Daming Emperor's invitation, they would probably die miserably.
Although it was a big gathering of Liaodong Jurchen, it was mainly Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen.
Apart from these two tribes, the Wuzhe, Wuji, Wo Ji, and other Jurchen would not come.
The Wuzhe got their name from the Manchu word "forest". They were the Tungusic people who lived in the northern part of Liaoyang.
The Wuzhe lived in the mountains and forests. Even in the Qing Dynasty, the Wuzhe still didn't get the title of a tribe. They were basically half-savages.
It was hard to talk to them, let alone conquer them.
The Wuzhe were called savage Jurchen, but there were actually three types of savage Jurchen.
One of them was similar to the Wuzhe. They lived by hunting in the mountains, and the most representative was the Olunchun tribe.
The other type was called the Beishan Savages. The Beishan referred to the mountains north of Nuergan, which was the northern branch of the Outer Khingan Mountains and the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. They traveled by reindeer and lived by reindeer. There were very few of them in later generations, and most of them had become tourists.
The other type was called the Savages. They lived in the west of the Sea of Okhotsk. They lived in flat-roofed houses with holes in the roof and used ladders to get in and out. On Sakhalin Island, there were also the Kuwu, also known as the Kuyi, who were now the Ainu.
There were many Jurchen, and they were widely distributed, but most of them were half-savages.
Only the Jianzhou Jurchen and Haixi Jurchen tribes could be considered kings, or rather, they used the Mongolian tribal model to establish their own tribes.
It wasn't until Nurhachi unified the Jurchen, established the Eight Banners, and conquered the other tribes that they truly came out of the mountains.
Of course, some didn't come out. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Beishan Jurchen tribes and other savages came out of the mountains and occupied the original tribal lands of Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen, and began to develop their own civilization.
It was too unrealistic for Zhu Yijun to mobilize the entire Jurchen tribe. He could only mobilize the four tribes of Haixi Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen tribes.
This was also why Zhu Yijun didn't get rid of the Jurchen tribes, but wanted to control the four tribes of Jianzhou and Jianzhou Jurchen tribes.
Once they were forced into a corner, they would be in big trouble if they went deep into the forest.
You don't know when they'll come out to mess with you, and you don't know what kind of mess they'll make.
Not to mention the deep mountains and forests of this time, even during the Anti-Japanese War in the future, the bandits who burrowed into the deep mountains and forests were a headache, not to mention these people whose ancestors lived in the deep mountains and forests.
In the deep mountains and forests, the cavalry could not display their full strength. Zhu Yijun had never thought of competing in forest survival or forest hunting.
Even if you trained special forces and spent a lot of effort to eliminate them, what good would it do you?
Absolutely not!
It was also impossible for the Han to live in the deep mountains and forests.
Control, rule, and fuse. These were the main keys.
Although it took a long time, the effect was the best.
With the spread of the new crops, Daming would definitely usher in a wave of population explosion. Zhu Yijun believed that in his lifetime, the Northeast region would definitely be occupied by the Han people.
The fertile Northeast Plains would definitely become Daming's new food production area.
With Zhu Yijun's order, all the Jurchen tribes gathered in Shenyang. Their moods were different.
The happiest was naturally Bu Zhai of the Yehe Tribe. This ambitious Jurchen tribe leader only had one thought at this moment, and that was that his chance had come.
His daughter was so favored, he would definitely be able to get the support of the Ming Dynasty's emperor.
Once he got the support of Daming, he would definitely be able to unify the four tribes.
The other three tribes of the Haixi Four Tribes were not so happy, or they looked like they had lost their parents.
They knew Bu Zhai's character very well, but knowing was one thing, but he was powerless to resist!
Nurhachi of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe was also in a bad mood, and he even began to panic.
After Zhu Yijun doted on Bu Xiya Mara, even Li Chengliang was afraid, let alone Nurhachi.
Once the emperor of Daming supported the Yehe Tribe, what would happen to Nurhachi?
Would he submit to the Yehe Tribe?
Although this was a common thing, Nurhachi was not willing to accept it!
After struggling for so many years, he was about to unify the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe and achieve great things. But Daming suddenly extended his hand to the grassland, first destroying the three tribes of Duo Yan, and then destroying the Horqin.
Now, he extended his hand to Liaodong, and it was the emperor who came in person. Nurhachi was so aggrieved that he wanted to rush to Shenyang and kill the emperor of Daming, but he didn't dare. That feeling was really killing him.
Shenyang, Wanhe Palace.
Zhu Yijun sat in a rocking chair, covered with a blanket, leisurely basking in the sun.
Speaking of which, Shenyang was still a little cold, but the weather was good, and the sun was very good.
"Imperial Majesty!"
Zhang Jing came to Zhu Yijun's side and said carefully, "Your Majesty, Lord Li of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is here!"
Zhu Yijun slowly opened his eyes. "Li Zhonghang is here?
Let him in! "
Not long after, Li Zhonghang walked in from outside.
These years, as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Zhonghang managed all the merchants in the world. It could be said that he had great power.
Especially in the case of the Daming, who was a gentry and Honours, were all in business, the Ministry of Internal Affairs could influence the whole Daming.
Zhu Yijun had cultivated a large number of powerful people, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a sharp tool for Zhu Yijun to manage and restrict the powerful people.
After so many years of operation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had the embryonic form of state-owned capital.
It had a strong ability to mobilize commercial forces. This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would make a great effort to develop the northeast.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhonghang!" Li Zhonghang came to Zhu Yijun and bowed.
Waving his hand, Zhu Yijun said casually, "Well, you may dispense with the formalities!" Then he said to Zhang Jing, "Ask someone to bring a stool to sit down. Mr. Li is not young anymore."
Li Zhonghang was about to be 60 years old. He had been very tired all these years. However, Li Zhonghang was the kind of person who was more and more cunning as he got older.
In the past few years, he had become more and more slick. He was so slippery that no one could catch him.
What Zhu Yijun liked about Li Zhonghang was his restraint.
In the past few years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been getting bigger and bigger, but Li Zhonghang had not done anything out of line. Even when his own Li family was in business, Li Zhonghang also let the Li family do things within the rules, which was very good.
It was not that Zhu Yijun did not allow his subordinates to gain benefits, but it was inevitable for the powerful people to have capital.
However, what Zhu Yijun allowed was within the rules, and breaking the rules was absolutely not allowed. On this point, Li Zhonghang did a good job.
After Li Zhonghang sat down, Zhu Yijun said slowly, "Is it done?"
Li Zhonghang nodded quickly, "Your Majesty, the people I sent have come back!"
