The Baiyin tribe no longer exists now.

A new tribe appeared in this place, the leader named Nairen Batel, who is the name of a hero on the grassland.

This is just that this hero has been missing for ten years. Now that he has returned to the king, he has returned to the grassland with an astonishing attitude.

After the nobles of the Baiyin tribe escaped, An Sanxi directly merged the two tribes and moved them all to the wharf.

Relying on the water transport of Zunhua, the fortress was built.

After the two tribes merged, An Sanxi reorganized and divided them into eleven thousand households, and re-armed 3,600 tribal cavalry.

Yang Fan brought them a cavalry breastplate made of hydraulic forging hammers, equipped with sabers, and nine-company fire door guns.

It is basically equivalent to the equipment level of the French Dragoon in the 18th century.

The newly formed cavalry regiment, 3,600 cavalrymen, were also transported here. This is Yang Fan's real core force.

Because there is no shortage of horses here, as long as people and equipment arrive, you can start forming cavalry.

The members of the cavalry squadron became the squadron leader, each of whom brought a hundred soldiers. The general flag and small flag below were all veterans transferred from the regiment training. Now, as long as the soldiers in the early regiment training were not killed or injured in battle, they basically became officers.

With troops in hand, An Sanxi attacked from all sides, focusing on attacking the three guards of Duoyan who had already scattered flowers. Since they had split into thirty-six families, they were all very weak.

Most small tribes cannot defeat Ansanxi.

In this month, An Sanxi annexed more than a dozen small tribes.

Taiji and the shepherds all fled and went to Taiji, Halaqin's tribe, begging Halaqin's Taiji to make the decision for them.

They heard that Halaqin Taiji and Nairen Batel were enemies. Taiji's younger brother was caught by the demon Nairen Batel. He had not released anyone yet and offered him a price of 3,000 war horses. This price is impossible to reach an agreement.

Now Ansanxi has gathered more than 30,000 people. This place is already a large tribe.

Without Taiji, the shepherd, and the nobles, all property belongs to the herdsmen.

The quality of life of herders has improved sharply. In our imagination, herders all eat meat, but the reality is that ordinary herders have no meat to eat at all.

Not to mention slaves.

Cattle and sheep are equivalent to deposits stored in banks, and dairy products are interest.

It can also be considered that cattle and sheep are fields, and dairy products are crops.

You eat the fields, what will you eat in the future?

Ordinary herdsmen eat dairy products, plus some collected wild fruits, mushrooms, and wild vegetables. They go fishing and hunting in their spare time to supplement their food.

In addition, they also plant some food, but they do not have the agricultural technology of the Central Plains. They usually plant seeds in the field in spring, and when they come back from nomads in autumn, they will calculate how much they harvest.

They really rely on the gods to make a living.

They farmed by using wooden sticks to poke some small holes in the ground, sprinkle seeds, and step them flat with their feet.

Although they are not short of cows, they do not know how to cultivate the land, fertilize and weed, let alone irrigate, and there is no one to guard them. If they are eaten by wild animals, they can only think that they are unlucky.

The streams on the grassland are full of big fish, but they neither can fish nor weave fishing nets, and they can't even build dams to drain the water. People on the grassland rarely eat fish.

Generations of them have been wandering around like this, enduring hardships to survive.

Go to catch mice and marmots in spring, hunt swans and pheasants in summer, deer and roe deer in autumn, and go to grab yellow sheep with wolves in winter.

Although wild animals are very common on grasslands. Because they have to grazing, they can only go hunting in their spare time, and they often return empty-handed. Therefore, fishing and hunting are not reliable. If they point to this, the whole family will starve to death.

It is not necessarily a good thing to catch prey. These animals have various viruses and even plague.

Therefore, most herdsmen have yellow faces and thin skin, and their yurts are tattered. Women and cubs are not covered in clothes, and many cubs are bare to their teenage years.

It is also worth killing dozens of people for a pot.

Most poor people can only use leather bags and water to boil things. Salt is also a rare product, let alone tea.

If you have meat, salt, you can drink tea, and if you have horses, milk and wine, you will definitely be treated as a noble master.

Because of the Ming Dynasty's blockade policy, supplies are scarce, and inch cloth on the grassland is rare, and felt fur is not withstand summer heat and is extremely painful. Mosquitoes are extremely powerful, and it is absolutely unpleasant to have bare shirts. Even if you shit, you have to keep swaying your butt, otherwise the mosquitoes will make you doubt your life in these few minutes.

Just as the maritime ban policy was cheaper to the gentry in the southeast, the blockade policy along the Great Wall was cheaper to the Shanxi merchants, generals, civil servants, and eunuchs from important towns on the nine sides.

They all participated in smuggling and sold cheap things in the mainland at sky-high prices on the grassland. The sea ban and border ban actually only banned the people and ordinary merchants, and the privileged class is no different from farting.

According to historical records, Mongolian herders can only kill a sheep during festivals, and several families still eat it together.

If you can eat a lot of meat, it is usually the case that the cattle and sheep are frozen to death in a large number of cattle and sheep. Or if the thin cattle and sheep cannot survive the winter, they will have no choice but to kill and eat meat.

Maybe if you have meat this winter, the whole family will starve to death the next year.

Starting from Genghis Khan on the grassland, herders and slaves had no means of production, and they could only rely on the prince, Taiji, shepherd's lord, and officers to survive. They themselves, their wives, daughters, and cubs are the private property of their masters. There is no difference between them and cattle and sheep.

An Sanxi's policy, like the creation of the world, allowed the sun to shine on these people at the bottom for the first time. An Sanxi's words were so deafening.

"Why can people who grazing have no meat to eat, while those who don't work can enjoy their fruits?"

"Why should those who fight war give the vast majority of the spoils to those who don't fight? Brave talents should enjoy the most things"

"Why are you slaves and herdsmen, but they can be above them."

An Sanxi killed the nobles and herders, confiscated their cattle, sheep, and women, and distributed them to the herdsmen and slaves who followed him.

Changed the system on the grassland for thousands of years.

Ansanxi set up a pastoral team for every hundred families, collectively occupying property and distributing it according to work, while also taking care of the elderly, weak, women, children and children.

Everyone is equal. Those who have the ability can become officials, and those who can fight can become soldiers, and those who can enjoy more material distribution.

All of this greatly inspired the activeness of the herdsmen and slaves to restore their freedom, and arranged their work, and had their own felt bags and property, and their loyalty to the leader increased greatly.

Now even if the Taiji and the shepherd masters come back, no one is willing to follow them.

An Sanxi gathered them together and began to build a fortress next to the dock.

An Sanxi understood that although he held the title of a Mongolian hero, he moved all the cheeses of the grassland nobles.

He made these people beat local tyrants, divided cattle and sheep, established production teams, and developed collective economy. It was like digging the ancestral graves of these nobles, making them almost crazy about hatred.

Rumors and songs began to spread on the grassland.

The shepherds and slaves were singing songs: "The sheep herders, eat rats, herds, and eat grass roots. If you ask where the cattle and sheep have gone, they have been eaten by the men. If you want to live a good life, go to Zhebet. He will give you felt bags and wives, cows, sheep, food, and spirits. Go to Zhebet and leave these vampires."

The wind drifts from all directions with the message of spring until the end of the sky.

The people's hearts were floating on the entire grassland, and the nobles were going crazy. They tried their best to whip these people who sang songs with whips, but they could not stop the spread of songs.

Now the wharf by the river has been built with cement and can dock more than ten boats at the same time.

A cement fortress is being built next to the pier.

It uses stones and cement that were fried from the mountain thirty miles away.

If Yang Fan was here, he would be surprised to find that the half-built building was clearly the shape of the Bastille.

An Sanxi took a look at the Bastille from various fortresses sent by Yaoguang to send messengers.

The Bastille covers an area of ​​about 2,670 square meters and has 8 towers with a height of about meter). The towers are connected by a city wall that is 24 meters high and 3 meters wide. There are also 15 heavy artillery on the city wall.

The castle is surrounded by a trench 26 meters wide and 8 meters deep, and only one suspension bridge connects to the outside world.

What Ansanxi values ​​is its strength and height.

The tower is ten stories high, and the city wall is eight stories high.

This is extremely shocking when this building on the grassland has only low felt bags.

An Sanxi wanted to use the palace to shock the people by using the main hall, and use a building with a strong visual impact to suppress the grassland spiritually.

The Bastille looked extremely evil and gloomy. At the same time, his building materials gave people an extremely strong and stable feeling, making people want to worship and obey without realizing it.

Thirty thousand tribes worked in three shifts, and built the building day and night with the help of refugees sent by Yang Fan. The entire construction site was brightly lit at night.

An Sanxi knew that when he made the move, the Mongolian nobles would unite to attack him, a bastard who was unforgivable and ruthless, and dig their ancestral graves.

He must repair this impregnable castle as soon as possible. This is a nail wedged into the grassland. A bridgehead, the base for the advance of the master Shi conquering the grassland.

Yang Fan planned to transport a total of 10,000 family roads to settle down on the grasslands, completely changing the population structure here. Both sides of these rivers can be cultivated and planted, but the Mongolians just can't farm.

At present, there are about 10,000 refugees with about 10,000 people who have been transported here. They participate in the construction of forts, docks and houses with tribes.

After the construction is completed, Yang Fan will give them land and let them settle down.

In the future, herders will herd cattle and sheep and farmers will farm. Yang Fan will transport various commodities from the water. This place will develop into a town on the grassland.

Become a trading center for the mainland and grasslands.

The low cost, large amount of transportation and high efficiency of water transportation are incomparable to the camel caravans of Shanxi merchants. Yang Fan is planning to grab all the business of Shanxi merchants and let them squat in the corner and cry.

These people are all bad guys. They smuggled iron and supplies to the grassland, sold stolen goods that Jiannu robbed, and transported food, gunpowder and firearms to Jiannu. They were purely a group of traitor businessmen.

In the Qing Dynasty, they all became imperial merchants, and their descendants were all prosperous and wealthy, but it led to China being completely left behind by the West.

Yang Fan’s things are cheap, large in quantity, and a complete variety. After having the trading base here, who will buy things from Shanxi merchants?

The most valuable thing on the grassland is the iron pot. When Ansanxi arrives on the grassland, he exchanges a horse for a large iron pot with a diameter of one meter.

The Mongolians were shocked and could hardly believe their ears.

After seeing someone really changed, they were like crazy. They rushed to exchange horses in groups. The Shanxi merchants dared to ask for five horses with just a small iron pot.
