Daming heir

The midsummer in Yingtian City in the 31st year of Hongwu was like a barrel of fire oil that was completely ignited.

There are huge influx of tourists into the city every day.

There is an endless stream of merchant ships at Shangyuanmen Wharf, lined up on the Changjiang River, their sails covering the sky, waiting for permission to dock at the wharf.

The Yi people with red eyes, blue eyes and green eyes, just like the primitive people thousands of years ago, stepped off the ship with unparalleled reverence and stepped on the land of this mysterious and unprecedentedly powerful Eastern country. superior.

All foreigners need to register at the dock gate area, check all the goods they carry, and verify the purpose of everyone before they can finally be released.

Before they can be released, people who know these Yi people in Yingtian City need to come to pick them up, otherwise they won't even be able to get out of the dock.

As for the entire southeast coast.

As the Ming Navy was reorganized into the Ming Royal Navy, its organization and scale continued to expand, and the southeastern coastal areas had long become like an iron wall.

Not to mention, Jin Yiwei also announced that as long as you report a Yiren who came ashore privately, you can get Jin Yiwei's reward of ten taels of silver.

Stimulated by the court's strict control and high rewards, the people in the southeastern coastal areas received many rewards a long time ago.

Nowadays, the Yi people have understood the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and they also know that they can only dock at the designated ports on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, the people in the southeastern coastal areas were greatly disappointed. They felt that these strange and ugly barbarians were so cowardly.

They didn't mention it at all. As long as the Yi people came ashore privately, they would be tried by the Jin Yiwei at the local government as quickly as possible, and then sent to various mining areas for mining.

However, under the tough control of the barbarians, the number of barbarians in the Ming Dynasty increased in another way, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In Yingtian City alone, there are more than 100,000 registered resident foreigners and traveling traders.

The entire Xicheng area has now become the top priority of Yingtian Mansion's public security management.

Almost half of the three squads of government officials were deployed in the west city direction.

The Military and Horse Division also dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses to control and regulate order on the streets of Xicheng.

The football stadium located in the West City project has sold out all the tickets every day and is always in a rush to buy.

It is precisely because of this that the long-term existence of scalpers turned out to be epoch-making.

Because there were a large number of Yi and foreigners, the Xicheng project also added many tourist attractions related to events other than the Ming Dynasty during this period.

The Indian's clavicle technique, the Ottoman's dancing with snakes, and the Europa's heavy armor fighting.

All of this provided the people of the Ming Dynasty with a broader vision and understanding of the world.

And in today's Xicheng project.

The most popular envy from outside the country is the Persian Hu girl who recently came from the Hexi Corridor.

For this reason, the Xicheng Project Department has to deal with several cases every day where family fights broke out between the gentlemen of the capital and their mothers-in-law because of Hu Nu.

"Did you hear that?"

Chang Jizu, who had graduated from the martial arts hall but had not received an arrangement, walked from the foot of the mountain to the pavilion on the viewing mountain with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and gossiped at those who were drinking tea. Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows.

This guy is not in a hurry.

Throughout the Martial Arts Hall, this batch of graduated martial arts students, after the abdication ceremony in the first month, had been arranged by the Governor's Office in various places in the army.

Only this one has been kept in the capital without any arrangements.

He was not in a hurry. He had not been to the Governor's Mansion for so many days to inquire about it, and he had not even mentioned it to his family.

Zhu Yunxi put down the teacup and looked at his cousin, who didn't know whether he was being arrogant or just wanted to be a bastard.

He still didn't know that the reason why he, a first-term graduate of the Jiangwu Hall, had no whereabouts until now was because of the manipulations of his cousin, who was the crown prince.

The Western Expedition is about to begin.

It's time for the imperial court to employ people again.

This time, the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition mainly used the team of Xinguo Gongfu.

The Chang family's main energy and connections are now in the south, and Li Jinglong's family's power is in Yingzhou.

The north is the jurisdiction of the three clans: King Qin, King Jin, and King Yan.

In this Western Expedition, although Liang Guogong Lan Yu and Li Jinglong led the troops together, they were only as leaders.

Tang Li, whom the Tang family had previously known in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, would organize the Beijing army in the middle of the capital, and would lead the Beijing army to the west of Yangguan as soon as the imperial court issued an order for the Western Expedition.

Chang Jizu needs experience.

Since all the people and influence in the south were from the Chang family, Chang Sheng, the head of the Chang family, would be carried up and down and given all kinds of care.

Only by going to the west and relying on yourself can you work hard and experience it.

Zhu Yunxi poured a cup of tea for Chang Jizu who was going up the mountain.

He glanced down the mountain.

On the other side of the observation mountain is an open space.

On the open space are various sideshows.

There is no need to distinguish carefully. During this period, the place with the most people is the place where the Hu girl from the Western Regions is.

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Chang Jizu: "Is there anything fun happening today?"

Chang Jizu sat on the stool, picked up the teacup, turned his buttocks, faced the tea table, and looked in the same direction as Zhu Yunxi.

"I also heard from the junior students in the martial arts hall that the Hu girl at the bottom of the mountain actually performed a new skill today."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi looked calmly.

Chang Jizu was a little surprised. He turned to look at his cousin who had become the crown prince: "Aren't you curious at all?"

Zhu Yunxi said calmly: "Then tell me."

This guy is so boring!

Chang Jizu muttered in his heart, and then said: "I just heard that that Hu girl turned into a beautiful snake today, and the people on the scene were so shocked that they almost caused trouble."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxi still said with a calm expression.

However, his eyes were once again looking at the most densely populated area down the mountain.

Chang Jizu was a little anxious: "Aren't you curious about how Hu Ji turned into a snake?"

"Do you want to take a look?"

"I wanted to... No, I'm just a little weird..."

Chang Jizu turned his eyes, clasped the tea cup with both hands, and his eyes became wandering.

Zhu Yunxi just smiled silently.

He remained silent, and Chang Jizu gradually became embarrassed.

After a long time.

Zhu Yunxi then said: "Do you know where Hu Ji and her people come from?"

"Of course they come from the Western Regions." Chang Jizu answered firmly.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and continued: "She is from the Western Regions. Do you know who this Hu Ji is and where she comes from the Western Regions?"

Chang Jizu shook his head honestly.

"I don't know, what does this have to do with this Hu Ji?"

Zhu Yunxi put away the smile on his face and turned to ask: "Do you know why the current Seven Guards of Kansai exist?"

The Seven Guards of Guanxi in the Ming Dynasty.

Refers to the Hami Guard, Anding Guard, Quxian Guard, Atuan Guard, Handong Zuowei, Shazhou Guard, and Chijin Mongolian Guard who occupy a large area of ​​land west of Jiayuguan.

To the west of the Seven Guards of Kansai is the Yili tribe that was separated from the Chagatai Khanate in the former Yuan Dynasty.

Yili took over almost the entire territory of the Western Regions in the pre-Tang Dynasty. To the west of Yilibali is the Timurid Empire, which occupies the Middle East to the Persian Gulf, and the Golden Horde, which occupies the surrounding Caspian Sea.

Before the Timurid Empire, there was the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Peninsula and the Black Sea region.

(There is no actual control in the plateau area in the picture above)

Chang Jizu was born in the Chang family. He was a descendant of the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty. He also studied in the martial arts hall for many years, so he naturally had a clear understanding of the relationship between the empire and its surrounding areas.

Chang Jizu replied: "The purpose of the Seven Guards of Guanxi is to occupy the west of Jiayuguan, connect the guards in Hexi, and block the connection between the plateau and the grassland. Of course, this was before."

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

Chang Jizu was not wrong.

Guanxi refers to the west of Jiayuguan Pass.

The original purpose of the establishment of the entire Hexi Corridor Guards and the Seven Guards in Guanxi during the Ming Dynasty was to block the connection between the plateau and the grassland.

This military purpose is consistent with the national policy of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

As long as the Hexi Corridor and the Guanxi region are in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, enemies on the plateau and enemies on the grasslands cannot be arbitrarily linked together to jointly launch attacks from the west of the Central Plains and invade Hexi and Guanzhong.

But now, as the Mongolian tribes on the Jiubianwai grassland have been wiped out.

The grassland, a land of feuds for thousands of years in the Central Plains, became the horse ranch of the Ming Dynasty. The military pressure faced by Hexi and Guanzhong also disappeared in an instant.

Today's Shaanxi Xingdu Division only needs to cooperate with Sichuan Xingdu Division to jointly guard against enemies on the plateau who will swoop down on the Ming Dynasty from the plateau.

Chang Jizu was a little confused: "So what is the connection between the two?"

"You and I both understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth. How can the Tubo people not understand?" Zhu Yunxi asked in return.

Now that the Mongols on the grassland have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, without the threat from the north, the Ming Dynasty can already say a word.

Invincible.

Under such circumstances, wouldn’t the Tibetan people huddled on the plateau feel a sense of crisis?

I am afraid that the Tubo people at this time, even if they are asleep, will be afraid that the Ming Dynasty will suddenly invade the plateau with their army.

People in the Central Plains often say that the place where you sleep is not allowed to be touched by others.

This sentence can also be used by today's Tubo people.

Chang Jizu's eyes widened for a moment: "You mean, the Tubo people are going to attack our country, the Ming Dynasty?"

Without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak.

Chang Jizu's face was filled with shock and he shouted in disbelief: "How dare they? Do they think their heads are harder than the artillery I shoot at? Or do they think their knives can cut vegetables? Can they beat my dynasty's hundred-refined steel sword? How dare they!"

Zhu Yunxi was completely speechless.

He finally figured it out.

My cousin is a big boss.

Chang Jizu saw Zhu Yunxi's face and hesitated: "Isn't it?"

Zhu Yunxi sighed, and then explained: "Unless the Tubo people are like you, they dare to attack our Ming Dynasty. As for that Hu Ji, she is from Timur's country, including the people from the Western Regions who recently entered the pass from Jiayuguan, most of them They are also people from Timurid and Yili.

As for why Tubo is mentioned, this is because these people are secretly connected by Tubo, Yilibali, and Timurid.

The purpose of sending these people to our country is to spy on our military situation in advance, so that we can be prepared when our country launches a large-scale attack on the Western Regions and passes through the plateau. "

Let the current Tubo people attack the Ming Dynasty?

Might as well let them take off their clothes and climb the roof of the world.

Maybe those Tibetans would prefer the latter option.

If you don't have the guts to attack, you have to take precautions in advance.

As early as last year, after the news of conquering the Western Regions spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, many people from the Western Regions entered the customs to come to Yingtian.

On the Sichuan Road side, there were suddenly more Tibetans who wanted to purchase Daming tea.

Naturally, this point has not escaped the surveillance of Jin Yiwei after the expansion.

As for the Hu Ji who can turn into a beautiful snake at the foot of the mountain, when they entered Jiayuguan, news had already been sent to the military intelligence analysis room of the Western Region Branch of the Jinyiwei Commander's Division.

Subsequently, the Western Region Military Intelligence Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion took over the matter and led the Jin Yiwei to secretly monitor these people.

"How brave!"

After understanding the whole story, Chang Jizu stood up abruptly and shouted with a mocking look on his face.

"These three parties dare to resist our imperial army!"

After finishing speaking, Chang Jizu looked at Shanxia again, his eyes showing murderous intent.

"..."

This guy is really a rough guy.

Zhu Yunxi also put down his tea cup and stood up: "Do you want to go down and see the Hu Ji who can turn into a snake?"

People turn into snakes?

Naturally, Zhu Yunxi would not believe this.

But he also wanted to know what method that Hu Ji used to scare so many Yingtian people present after watching the performance.

The people at the scene must have seen Hu Ji transforming into a snake, so they were frightened.

But how did this Hu Ji do it?

Chang Jizu became hesitant at this moment: "Do you want to bring someone with you?"

He no longer wanted to watch magic tricks.

Some people dared to resist the Ming Dynasty's military rule. How brave this must be.

This son of a meritorious general of the Ming Dynasty and an outstanding graduate of the Jiangwu Hall, the first thing he thought of was to kill these people who resisted the military rule of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no smart one!

Zhu Yunxi sighed silently in his heart, put his hands on his back, and Yu Tian led the two forbidden soldiers and walked down the mountain.

Chang Jizu stood in the pavilion, looking left and right, but he couldn't find the weapon he had.

All he could do was tighten his fists and rush in front of Zhu Yunxi who was already going down the mountain.

The playground at the foot of the mountain.

It's always been crowded these days.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was greeted by a wave of cheers.

With the strength of all nations, we will achieve the good of the Ming Dynasty.

This scene is everywhere.

And where the Hu Ji who could turn into a snake was, the three floors inside and three floors outside were crowded with people watching the excitement.

These people were completely relieved after confirming that the beautiful Orchid that could not be described in words or words would cause any harm to them after she turned into a snake.

Then he responded with even greater enthusiasm.

"Change!"

"Change!"

"Change into a snake!"

"Beauty Snake!"
