When Yun Xi saw Yang Ben, he didn't first ask Sha Mi Chagan about the conditions proposed, but asked with some surprise: "Sha Mi Chagan is in such a hurry, why is it?" Could it be that something important happened in the country? Or is it because of a power struggle? ”

Yun Xi thought about it for a while, he didn't receive a report that someone came from the northwest to report what Sha Micha was doing, so Sha Micha was in such a hurry that it should be Yili to control the power struggle in the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although the competition for the throne of this kind of country is not particularly cruel, and the loser generally does not die, the complexity is not low at all, and even if Shami Chagan is the first in line to the throne, he may not be able to inherit the throne safely.

Yun Xi had quickly made up more than 100,000 words of the storyline of the power struggle, and was about to continue to make up for it, Qin Song on the side leaned over and whispered with some uneasiness: "Your Majesty, the spy placed by the minister in the Fan Pavilion reported that Sha Mi Chagan said in Mongolian during breakfast yesterday morning: 'I can't go on like this, if I stay in the capital of Daming for a year like this, I will become a waste." ’”

Yun Xi immediately stopped his brain supplement after hearing Qin Song's words, stood for a while and then said, "The Golden Family is not all waste like Emperor Yuan Shun, there are still many talents. ”

Yun Xi had the intention of getting rid of Sha Michagan at this time, and after defeating Timur in the future, he would definitely be an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's advance into the Western Regions.

But in the end, he decided to give up his mind for the time being. Now that the enemy is present, everything in the northwest revolves around dealing with Timur, and other things will be discussed later. Didn't the United States want to jointly deal with Germany back then, and even Soviet Russia could form an alliance.

Of course, after that, the United States quickly abandoned Soviet Russia, used McCarthyism to comprehensively oppose the Soviet Union, and persecuted suspected pro-Soviet people.

Yun Xi pondered for a while and then said to Yang Ben: "Tell me about the conditions of Yili Li. ”

Yang Ben said: "Your Majesty, Shami Chagan said that he is willing to give Hami to the Ming Dynasty, and is willing to let the army of Yili General obey the command of the Ming Dynasty in the subsequent war with Timur, and the same is true for the Warat people. At the same time, they were also willing to provide food and grass when the Ming army's military resources were insufficient. ”

"What about the conditions? These Mongols do things straightforwardly, and since Shami Chagan wants to go back as soon as possible, he must not say that half of them will be left behind. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the condition of Yili is that when the war with Timur begins, the Ming Dynasty will send 200,000 troops to fight against Timur. Moreover, the black son of fire wants to marry the Ming Dynasty and make an appointment with His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

"About marriage? Shang Bing only has one son and no daughter at this time, do you mean that the Black Son of Fire wants to marry his daughter to Shang Bing's son? ”

Yang Ben stammered a little and said, "Your Majesty, you are marrying Shami Chagan's daughter to the prince of Qin. He also said that he was going to marry his daughter to Shang Bing and Yun Xi, but Yang Ben and Yun Xi didn't care.

Yun Xi was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, the black fire man is really far-sighted!" But after that, Yun Xi was speechless for a while.

Yang Ben and the others stood aside tremblingly and didn't dare to speak, and in the end, Qin Song couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, how do you treat Yili Sholi's conditions?" ”

Qin Song felt that he was very depressed, he just wanted to come over to contact Yun Xi today, and he didn't plan to say anything serious, but he had to say what Sha Micha had done, and now he had to speak out when no one else dared to speak. 'I really forgot to look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I shouldn't go out today.' He thought.

Yun Xi said: "Promise, why don't you agree?" Although Hami is now in charge of the family, and the black ones are just generous to others, but after all, they are all Mongols, and they are all descendants of Chagatai, which is much easier than the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But the Black Son of Fire wants to make an appointment with His Royal Highness King Qin?" Xia Yuanji, who was standing on the other side and was on duty today, couldn't help but say.

Yun Xi smiled again, and then said: "This is a good thing, the prestige of the Temujin Golden Family on the steppe is very high, and it will be easier to recover the Mongols in the Western Regions in the future." ”

"But ......" Xia Yuanji still disagreed. But he didn't dare to finish his words, otherwise he would be charged with dividing the clan. However, he believed that Yoon-hee understood what he meant.

Yun Xi continued: "There is nothing wrong with a single princess being a Mongol. ”

Since Yun Xi didn't care about anything and agreed that Shang Bing had a Mongolian daughter-in-law, they naturally had nothing to say as ministers.

Yun Xi instructed Yang Ben: "Since Sha Micha is in such a hurry, then you should go out immediately and tell him and Tuohuan, and I agree to their conditions." I can issue a decree to officially canonize the Black Sons and Mahamu as vassal kings, and the Ming will henceforth protect them from the invasion of other countries. ”

Yang Ben agreed, and retreated to find Sha Micha Gan and Dehuan.

However, Yun Xi waited for him to go down and then instructed Qin Song: "Those people in the five provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were sentenced to exile a few days ago haven't been exiled yet, right?" ”

Qin Song replied, "Your Majesty, you have not been exiled yet. ”

Yun Xi instructed: "Let them spend the New Year in their hometown, and send them all to the northwest after the New Year's spring." ”

Turning his head and saying to Xia Yuanji, "Give an order to King Qing, Uncle Su Wang, and the political envoys of Sanqin Bu, so that they can increase the grain delivered to Shazhou." Intended purpose. ”

He said to Wang Xi again: "Call Bai Xiguang, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, the railroad from the capital to Xuzhou has been repaired, and I remember that Bai Xiguang was given a leave of absence at that time, and he was allowed to return to Beijing to recuperate for a while." ”

Wang Xi promised to retreat. Xia Yuanji also hurriedly drafted the decree, and let Yun Xi read it before stamping it and sending it.

After a while, Bai Xiguang followed Wang Xi in.

Yun Xi said to him: "The railroad from the capital to Xuzhou built before is very good, and it has been hard. ”

Bai Xiguang immediately knelt down and said, "This is what a slave should do, and it should not be said that Your Majesty is hard." ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Get up." ”

After he got up, Yun Xi praised him a few more words and said, "I have an important matter for you now. ”

Bai Xiguang was apprehensive in his heart, but said on his face: "Your Majesty, please command." ”

Yun Xi said, "I plan to send you to the northwest to build a railroad. ”

After this Lu Xie Rebellion, Yun Xi actually felt that the construction of railcars in places with more water resources in the east could not be said to be useless, but it was of little use: it was much more convenient to transport goods and people by water, even if it was a little detour; And when delivering urgent messages, the swift horses are no slower than the rail-drawn carriages.

However, in the northwest, especially after the 'zigzag' left side of the Yellow River, there is no east-west river at all, and water transport is completely unusable. So the Northwest is where the railcars really came into play on a large scale in the era when there were no steam locomotives.

Bai Xiguang was very reluctant in his heart, it is said that there is sand there, who would want to go! But he didn't dare to disobey Yun Xi's order, so he could only say without showing it on his face: "The slave will set off for the northwest after the spring breaks." ”

Of course, Yun Xi knew that Bai Xiguang was unwilling, and no one would be willing to let anyone go, but he didn't see that Zhu Ji and Zhu Chang were unwilling to be crowned kings in the northwest, and Zhu Shangbing would definitely not be willing to go to Shazhou if he didn't plan for the rich Western Regions.

So Yun Xi said: "Bai Xiguang, when you return from the northwest, I will definitely not treat you badly." Do you have any relatives? ”

Bai Xiguang said in surprise: "The slave is in his hometown, the eldest brother is dead, but there is also a nephew." Last year, the family sent a letter from his hometown, and this nephew of the slave passed the county and government examinations and was already a child. ”

Yun Xi approvingly: "Your family is very competitive." Then I will make an order to allow your nephew a meritorious name. ”

Bai Xiguang knelt down very excitedly and said, "Slave, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

Yun Xi originally wanted to reward him, but he was already the highest when he became a eunuch, and it was impossible to give him higher power, so he could only reward his family. Eunuchs cared about their families, so it was useful to reward their families. It just so happened that their nephew had become a child and could be rewarded as a talent.

Yun Xi said a few more words to him and let him go down. Yun Xi took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, sealed it, called Li Bo in, and said, "Use the military post to deliver this letter to the King of Qin." ”

After that, Yunxi ordered several things, all of which were related to the northwest.

The reason why Yun Xi gave these orders was so that the regime of the King of Qin would not become a Mongol regime in the future. The bait thrown by the black firefighter was too sweet for Yun Xi to give up, but he didn't want the Qin vassal kingdom to be Mongolized. Although the Mongols should not be much of a threat after Buddhism, Yunxi still did not want it to become a regime with a Mongol majority.

Therefore, he tried his best to strengthen the connection between the northwest and the Central Plains and increase the number of Han people in the northwest region. Even if you want to assimilate the Mongols, you must also have a certain amount of Han Chinese as the base. He also planned to send a large number of Han monks who were proficient in Buddhism to the Western Regions, 'even if the religious ban of the emperor's grandfather was lifted, the Central Plains Buddhist Temple should send enough senior monks to the Western Regions.' Yun Xi thought.

……

Tuhuan knelt on the ground, listened to Yun Xi's will, and waited until Yang Ben withdrew, and couldn't help but say in Mongolian: "What's the use of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom giving such a will?" The words are not clear, Timur has called, can you count on the army of the Ming Kingdom! ”

Sha Michagan said calmly: "Don't worry. The holy decree of the Ming Kingdom has always been like this, as long as he acknowledges that we are vassal states, he will definitely not ignore it. Moreover, Timur was destined for the Ming Kingdom, which had to send troops in order to defend its territory. ”

"What about the marriage with King Qin? There is not a word in the decree. ”

"There's no need to worry about that, as long as he acquiesces. As for later. Sha Micha laughed and said, "When the King of Qin occupies Hami and no longer snorts at the central court of the Ming Kingdom, the King of Qin will know what to do." ”
