051 ? Protect the people
After Genghis Khan's death, the Mongolian army was headed by Tolei. With the friendship between Tolei and Guo Jing, of course, it was impossible to make things difficult for him and let him leave smoothly.
After galloping for a while, he found that the Mongolian army really would not chase after him, so the three of them slowed down their horses.
Luo Tianming said: "You are going back to Taohua Island to get married, so I won't go with you anymore, just say goodbye."
Huang Rong said in surprise: "Will the master not come to our wedding?"
Luo Tianming joked: "Monkeys often see at funerals, but I haven't seen much at weddings. I still won't go anymore. I'm here. I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Guo Jing said: "Then we wish the master a smooth journey."
Luo Tianming smiled meaningfully and said, "It is unlikely that the journey will be smooth, because I have to take the initiative to fight against the storm!"
After saying that, Luo Tianming whipped the horse's butt and galloped eastward.
Guo Jing said in wonder: "What does the last sentence of the master mean?"
Huang Rong sighed and said, "Do you remember how the master knew that the Mongolian army was going to attack Xiangyang?"
Guo Jing then suddenly said, "The master killed many Mongolian generals before, and he knew from them. Now, is he going to kill the Mongolians again?"
Huang Rong said: "The master is a Bodhisattva's heart and cannot see the Mongols ravage the people. He can only make a rage Vajra to protect the people."
Luo Tianming didn't know how Guo Jing and Huang Rong evaluated him, he only knew that he could not watch the Han people being massacred and ignored them.
Even though he knew that he could not control much, he could at least feel at ease.
But he didn't expect that this prison actually gained a great reputation for himself, even to the point where he could see the scenery.
Before he knew it, a large number of people gathered around Luo Tianming, making him unaware of what to do.
If he had brought such a large group of people, Luo Tianming's flexible and maneuverable tactics would not be able to be used. If the Mongolian army massacred these people, would he save them or not?
If you save yourself, you will fall into it; if you don’t save it, can he pass his own level?
There was no choice but to help them find a way out and then do their own thing after they settled down.
Among these people, it is not that no one instigated Luo Tianming to be the leader and led them to conquer the world.
But Luo Tianming was very self-aware. He knew that he was not the leader at all, and the Mongols were in their heyday, so they were looking for death when they went against them.
Once it fails, Luo Tianming can escape by relying on his martial arts, and these people will die.
Of course, he can also imitate the routine of fighting for hegemony in time travel novels, first farm silently, develop gunpowder weapons, and then sweep the world.
But the problem is that when he deliberately recalled the recipes such as cement, glass, gunpowder, he found that he didn't remember any of them!
It’s not that some inexplicable existence erased his memory, but that he didn’t know it at all!
As a migrant worker, it is okay to let him stir cement, but he can study how cement is made. Sorry, I don’t have that spare time.
Glass, gunpowder and so on are similar. Who has nothing to do to study those?
Even if the formula of gunpowder is very simple, it is sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter. But it is not easy to mix the three materials. First, it needs to be purified, then the best ratio needs to be studied, and finally it needs to be made into granular.
How can I do all this? Luo Tianming was confused for a while and decided to give up.
Since you can't walk the way to fight for hegemony, you can just farm.
Although the Mongolians occupied a large area of territory, they had too few populations after all, and only controlled large and medium-sized cities. Even the control of small towns was very limited, let alone mountains and wild places.
So Luo Tianming brought all the people he followed to the mountains, allowing them to open up land and farm and live on their own.
Although the land in the mountains is very barren, the resilience and hard work of the people are enough to offset the shortage of grain production.
Moreover, Luo Tianming taught them some methods of raising livestock, such as raising earthworms to feed pigs and chickens, and fermenting green feed, which greatly increased the yield of meat and made their lives better.
After all, Luo Tianming came from the countryside, so he couldn't do industrial products, but he was definitely an expert in planting and breeding.
After arranging the first batch of people, Luo Tianming continued to go out to crack down on the Mongols who were killed indiscriminately. After that, another group of people were willing to follow him, so he had to find a mountainous area to settle the people again.
In this way, he went all the way to win over the people, and in just three years, he actually reduced the people of the Central Plains by half.
Of course, the reduced people were not all gathered by him, but after he established a hidden place of survival in the mountains, the wind gradually spread, and the people who were forced by the Mongols to survive spontaneously went to surrender.
This spread of ten, ten spread of hundreds, and the migration of families and villages has greatly reduced the number of people in the plains.
Of course, the Mongols knew about this, but they were busy fighting everywhere now, and they couldn't even control the plains, so how could they still control the mountainous areas?
For the Mongolians who are accustomed to nomadic life, turning fertile fields into pastures is the biggest gain, and mountainous areas are not within their considerations.
The Han people were willing to give up the plains on their own initiative, but the Mongolians couldn't help but save the waste of energy by wielding their swords and killing them.
However, the mountainous areas can accommodate a limited population, and there are even fewer arable fields. If so many people flock in, conflict will inevitably arise.
The common people did not die at the hands of the Mongolians, but died at the hands of their own people. It is a tragedy.
In order to avoid the expansion of this tragedy, Luo Tianming could only choose one leader for each mountainous area.
There is a saying that absolute power makes people absolutely corrupt. With a leader, there will inevitably be changes.
No matter whether these leaders were officials, rich men, great scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and small vendors, they would inevitably develop unscrupulous ambitions when they took the position of the leader.
Luo Tianming had expected this, but he could not prevent it. He could only repeatedly instruct him that after becoming the leader, he would never become a thief, otherwise he would take his life.
As for the others, it is not something he can interfere with whether these people lead their subordinates to fight for a world or hide in the mountains and live leisurely. I just hope that they will not do too much under their own deterrence.
Fortunately, many people rescued by Luo Tianming have seen Luo Tianming killing through the enemy camp alone and taking the general's head.
Who can not be afraid of such an invincible general? His words are still very intimidating.
