Chapter 146: I'll Go

The moment he saw He Neng, Wang Shouren was stunned, and the people below came to report that they only said that He Jian, the governor of the three sides, was here, but they didn't mention this He Neng's father-in-law!

"I've seen Lord He, I've seen Grandpa He." After Wang Shouren greeted the two of them, he asked with a smile: "Father-in-law He, why did you come to the northwest?" But His Majesty gave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will? ”

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, He Jian glanced at Wang Shouren, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was worthy of being a person valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was really amazing. Just by seeing Gonggong He, you can guess that His Majesty has a will for His Royal Highness the Prince, although it seems simple, but ordinary people really can't guess, not to mention that this Lord Wang is still so young.

"Don't hide it from Lord Wang, Your Majesty has sent a decree to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing." He Neng looked at Wang Shouren and said with a serious face.

Wang Shouren looked at He Neng with a little hesitation, and then turned his head to look at He Jian: "But what happened?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Guyuan, does this Lord Wang know?" He Jian looked at Wang Shouren and asked.

Nodding slightly, Wang Shouren said bluntly: "Of course the lower officials know, and the lower officials also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took away the Black Dragon Guard. ”

"Then does Lord Wang know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone?" He Jian said anxiously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not make it clear to His Majesty." Wang Shouren shook his head directly, joking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't say it, if he said that he knew, wouldn't it be a private spying on His Royal Highness the Prince's whereabouts? Is this what a courtier should do? Wang Shouren directly chose not to admit it, of course, he really didn't know.

He Jian glanced at Wang Shouren deeply, how could he not hear what Wang Shouren meant, but he didn't care.

"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just sent someone to pass on the military order, asking the subordinate to transport the grain and grass to Zhangye." He Jian didn't hide it from Wang Shouren, and said directly: "There are no disaster victims over there in Zhangye, does this official think there is a war over there?" If there is a war, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has 10,000 Black Dragon Guards around him, and although the Black Dragon Guards are brave, there are only 10,000 people! ”

Wang Shouren glanced at He Jian, obviously the trilateral governor Lord He only knew that the Black Dragon Guard was brave, but he didn't know how brave the Black Dragon Guard was.

However, Wang Shouren didn't explain this, but just said: "Lord He doesn't need to worry, even if there is a war in Zhangye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be in danger, besides, isn't there also the Gansu Governor Yamen and Gansu Town in Zhangye, and there are also a lot of hot people there, besides, there seems to be no one around there who can use the army, right?" ”

In Wang Shouren's opinion, He Jian is blindly worried, Zhangye is a military town in Gansu, and there are many Ming troops there.

Although the combat effectiveness is not very good, there are also people!

The 10,000 Black Dragon Guards around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plus the Ming army in the Gansu military town, that is something that ordinary people can easily shake? Even if the Mongols came to invade, they could only send prisoners. However, in front of He Jian and He Neng, Wang Shouren naturally didn't dare to say this, nor did he dare to show the slightest, are you doing this for the sake of your ministers? Don't you worry about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Wang Shouren couldn't afford to wear this big hat, so he said directly: "Lord He, Father-in-law He, please come here." ”

Saying that, Wang Shouren made a gesture of please and invited the two people to the front of the map, and after Wang Shouren looked at it, his face showed a look of understanding.

"Lord Wang, what do you see?" He Neng said anxiously on the side: "At this time, you don't sell Guanzi." ”

Wang Shouren hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord He, Gonggong He, you see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to transport grain and grass to Zhangye, in the eyes of the lower officials, this is just the first step, and the next step should be to send it to Suzhou." Saying that, Wang Shouren pointed to the map, and then said, "Even transported here." Saying that, Wang Shouren clicked in another place.

"Hamiwei?" He Jian raised his head and looked at Wang Shouren, and said with a little hesitation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to send troops to Hamiwei?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few days ago that he would reopen the Silk Road, but we all know that the difficulty in reopening the Silk Road lies in the safety of the trade routes along the way. ”

"If we want to trade, we must solve the problem of Ma Heima." Wang Shouren tapped twice on the map.

He Jian looked at the location on the map, and said with a slight hesitation on his face: "Isn't that going to fight here?" As he spoke, He Jian pointed to a location on the map.

That location is naturally where Turpan is located in later generations, and it is also Ma Heima's old nest, if you want to teach Ma Heima a lesson, it can only be played here. Otherwise, there is no hope, out of Suzhou to Jiayuguan, after Jiayuguan is Guazhou, and then forward is Dunhuang, the power of the imperial court there can be said to be very weak.

Although there were seven guards set up in this area, there were Anding, Aduan, Quxian, Handong, Shazhou, Chijin Mongolia, Hami Seven Guards, and then Shazhou Wei moved inward, and set up Handong Left Guard in its hometown. But from the name, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty's control over them is not strong, these seven guards are also known as the "Northwest Seven Guards" and "Mongolian Seven Guards", the reason for the name is that the leaders of the Seven Guards are all Mongolian nobles.

From another point of view, these seven guards are basically obedient to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, obedient, and this is a tribute, but it was only for a period of time, and many times the two sides had to fight.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to reopen the Silk Road, then it is inevitable to open up this route, at least to Dunhuang, and then subdue the current Ma Heima, and then use Dunhuang as a trading place. Because it is impossible for Daming to put Ma Heima and these people in Hamiwei or Suzhou, because this place is too close to Daming.

Then Dunhuang has become the best choice, but Dunhuang is a place that Daming has not operated for many years, and now it is suddenly shot, I'm afraid it's not suitable, right?

Wang Shouren didn't think as much as He Jian thought, so he turned his head directly and said to He Jian: "Lord He, why don't you let the lower officials go this time to escort the grain and grass?" ”

He Jian's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Shouren, he was slightly stunned, and then raised his head to look at Wang Shouren, his heart moved, he naturally understood why Wang Shouren asked for orders to escort grain and grass, the purpose was to see His Royal Highness the Prince, first, to find out the situation there, and second, he could lead troops over, and if there was a war, he could also help.

"Since Lord Wang is willing to take a trip, it is naturally the best." He Jian agreed directly without hesitation.
