Chapter 521: Enlightenment starts from the myth system(2/2)

"After you get married, you can take your wife with you to the Liaodong grassland. I will appoint you as the inspector of the grassland military base, and you can easily recruit some tribes to join me in the name of the Ming Dynasty."

"I will also give you the position of chief instructor of the grassland military base. Those tribesmen who have been summoned, or the various tribes in the grassland who have joined, can be trained by you."

"There are fewer doctors over the grassland. I will send some imperial doctors to accompany you. Firstly, they can better treat some diseases. Secondly, if your wife is pregnant, she can also be better taken care of."

Hearing that his boss was taking such careful care of him, Zhang Wen was very excited: "I...I will definitely serve your Highness with all my heart, even to the point of death!"

Zhu Ying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you are not someone else. We have supported each other all the way. I just said it, there is no need to say these words of loyalty, just keep it in your heart."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for more than ten years now. But the young eagle will always grow up, and you can't always stay by Uncle Zhang's side."

"I'm counting on you to build this grassland military base for me. Work hard and don't let me down."

"I will be here in the capital, waiting for your good news."

There was also some sigh in Zhu Ying's words.

In the past seven years or so, Zhang Wen and others have been by his side since he was young. He has traveled to the grasslands, deserts, and the Western Regions, and has experienced countless dangers, and has always been by his side to protect him.

Emotionally, Zhu Ying was naturally very reluctant to let go of Zhang Wen and others.

However, the grassland border is a big deal, especially the grassland base.

Lan Yu and Zhu Di are quite capable of fighting, but they are not their confidants.

Liu Buyi graduated from the Beijing Military Academy and can be considered as one of his own, but compared to Zhang Wen, he is definitely still a little behind.

Therefore, sending Zhang Wen there is an inevitable key.

In Zhu Ying's vision, the grassland military base, based on rations and other supplies, would recruit at least hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry, especially the Jurchens, who were the top priority.

In order to conquer the huge grassland, even the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Oara Tribe, the Golden Horde Khanate and other places must be brought under the command of the Ming Dynasty.

It can only be based on the cavalry of the grassland.

Once this possibility is realized, the Ming Dynasty will not only completely solve the grassland border problems, but will even follow the example of Genghis Khan and fight all the way to Oubaluo, spanning the entire Eurasian plate.

Especially the impact on Timur was not a problem.

This was a big move, and Zhu Ying was worried in his heart whether a new force would be created.

So now at the Capital Military Academy, Zhu Ying is committed to cultivating a large number of mid-level officers, and then continuously transporting them to grassland military bases.

And the training of correctional personnel is also a top priority.

There is also a separate dedicated research staff on grassland faith and worship.

Almost all prairie people are illiterate. For Zhu Ying, except for some inherent customs that are difficult to change, others are just like a blank slate.

The first thing Zhu Ying had to do was to connect the grassland beliefs with the mythological system of the Central Plains, strengthen the connection between the two parties, and even compile a lot of short stories to fully integrate them.

For example, the filial piety dog ​​of Erlang Shen is actually from the prairie Sirius, such as the poignant love story, The Daughter of the Prairie and the God of the Central Plains.

There are also a series of correlations, even if they are a little outrageous, they have to be forced into it.

It may sound a bit outrageous, but Zhu Ying deeply understands that once something is believed, it will be passed down forever, and the common myth system is not only the recognition of the grassland to the Central Plains, but also the recognition of the Central Plains to the grassland.

It's mutual.

The better part is that the grassland beliefs are totems, which are messy and have their own legends, and they are not specific.

At this point, Zhu Ying is still very easy to operate.

The so-called enlightenment, the first step is naturally faith.

As for whether those on the grassland would believe this rhetoric, Zhu Ying was not worried at all.

The grassland itself does not have much cultural inheritance. It only needs to be continuously spread, and there will always be people who believe it.

Even if it is a lie, if more people tell it, it will gradually become the truth.

I have told them since I was a baby.

If the first generation doesn’t believe it, it’s okay.

The second and third generations will gradually believe in the statement compiled by Zhu Ying. When more people believe it, this common myth system will gradually become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At that time, there would be no distinction between grassland and central plains and nomadic farming.
