With the end of the Kansai War, the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Western Regions was comprehensively strengthened, and Li Yuntian successively laid out the Western Regions through the lecture hall, making the connection between the Western Regions and the Ming Dynasty become increasingly close.

Among the many cities in the Western Regions, Qinglong City has the reputation of "the first city in the Western Regions", which is not only because the high walls of Qinglong City are a huge fortress made of rocks, but also because Qinglong City was besieged by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army for many months and was unscathed, and experienced the test of war.

The commander of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army, Yiwu Hou Lu Minen, because he has been stationed in Qinglong City for many years, has the reputation of "Guanxi Bo", and he was very happy to learn that Li Yuntian had come, and held a banquet for Li Yuntian to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Speaking of which, Li Yuntian and Lu Minen are now brothers-in-law, Yun Na is the sister of Lu Minen's concubine Youlan, so Li Yuntian and Lu Minen are also related.

Youlan had already learned the news that Li Yuntian had Yun Na as a concubine, and she was naturally very happy in her heart, thinking that Yun Na had finally found a good home, and Li Yuntian was a person worthy of being entrusted for life.

"Min'en, you've been in Kansai for many years, and it's time to move the place." After three rounds of wine and wiping the five flavors, Li Yuntian, who was talking and laughing with Lu Minen, turned around and said to him with a smile.

"Lord Wang, I think it's good here, some things haven't been dealt with yet, and I want to stay for a few more years." Lu Minen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, which meant that he was about to be transferred back to the capital to take up his post, and then his expression became a little gloomy, and he was quite reluctant in his words, after all, he had lived here for more than ten years and already had a deep feeling.

"Let other people do these things, according to the custom, you would have changed your guard a long time ago, it was this king who felt that you couldn't do without you here, so he let you stay here for so many years." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, waved his hand to Lu Minen and said, "You can't finish your official business, so let your successor be busy." ”

"Obedience." Lu Minen also laughed, and said to Li Yuntian, how could he not have homesickness in his heart after leaving his hometown for more than ten years.

"Lord Wang!" After the banquet, Li Yuntian, who was a little drunk, yawned and entered his bedroom, and as soon as he entered the door, the young and beautiful maid of the Western Regions who had been waiting in the room leaned over and saluted him.

"Hmm." Li Yuntian nodded disappreciatively and asked the two maids to bring hot water to wash.

The two maids waited for Li Yuntian to untie his clothes and did not mean to leave, but took off the clothes on his body, apparently to sleep.

"Go down." Seeing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly stopped the two maids, he knew that this was not Lu Minen flattering himself, it belonged to the market atmosphere, which could be regarded as a kind of etiquette, if Lu Minen did not do this, it would be regarded by the outside world as a kind of snubbing for Li Yuntian.

In the past, because Li Yuntian had Lei Ting, Lin Xin and Yun Na by his side, the local officials everywhere they went were amuseful that they did not arrange a woman for Li Yuntian to sleep, otherwise wouldn't it be self-inflicted?

But now the situation is different, Yun Na is pregnant at this time and stays in the capital to recuperate, even if she wants to come with Li Yuntian, she can't come, so how can Lu Minen let Li Yuntian stay alone in the empty room at night, wouldn't that be too ignorant.

Therefore, Lu Minen asked Youlan to arrange a maid for Li Yuntian to sleep, hoping to let Li Yuntian have a good night.

"Lord Wang, but if we are negligent, I hope that the prince will punish me." The two maids were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt there, and one of them said with a panicked face.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, our bodies are innocent, and you are our first man." Another maid thought that Li Yuntian disliked them for being unclean, and then explained.

"You misunderstood, this king is just used to sleeping alone." Li Yuntian couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and opened his mouth to comfort the two maids, "Don't worry, this king will explain this matter to the Marquis of Yiwu." ”

The two maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, glanced at each other, and then bowed to Li Yuntian and retreated, with an indescribable loss in their hearts.

Li Yuntian, who admired heroes and defeated the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Alliance, was definitely a great hero who shook the Western Regions, and it was obviously an incomparable honor to be able to have a spring breeze with Li Yuntian, but unfortunately Li Yuntian did not let the two of them sleep.

In addition to Li Yuntian, Lu Minen also prepared a women's bed for Li Anmin and Li Anming in the Western Regions, although Li Anmin and Li Anming are very young, but they are also orthodox county kings who have been enshrined by the orthodox emperor, so naturally he can't be lazy.

With Li Yuntian by his side, where did Li Anmin and Li Anming dare to get close to women, they naturally refused the attendants of those beauties in the Western Regions, and the two followed Li Yuntian out to practice, not to play in the mountains and rivers.

Li Yuntian stayed in Qinglong City for two days, and then Lu Minen sent an army to escort him to Hami City, in fact, the security in Guanxi is very good now, and the local tribes have basically been subdued by the imperial court, and they are becoming more and more dependent on the Ming Dynasty in the fields of agriculture and commerce.

This is exactly what Li Yuntian wants to see, his strategy here in the Western Regions is to "integrate", so that the Western Regions and the Ming Dynasty become an inseparable whole.

On the way to Hami City, Li Yuntian deliberately went to the ancient city of Dunhuang, although many years have passed, but this ancient city can still see the traces of his war with Wendu here, the tragic offensive and defensive battles of the ancient city of Dunhuang shook the entire Western Regions, making Li Yuntian's prestige flutter in the sky above the Western Regions, so that the people of the Western Regions are in awe.

In view of the importance of the geographical location of the ancient city of Dunhuang and its long history, Li Yuntian rebuilt the city of Hami after the war, and now it is also a prosperous and lively city, no one could have imagined that it would soon become a ruin.

Outside the ancient city of Dunhuang, there is also a cemetery of soldiers who died in battle, Li Yuntian naturally wants to go to the cemetery to pay tribute to those soldiers who died in battle, the incomparably tragic battle in the ancient city of Dunhuang seems to be just yesterday, it is these soldiers who won the final victory with their lives, and then turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop, which can be described as a great achievement.

For Li Yuntian's unexpected arrival, the disabled veterans guarding the cemetery were extremely excited and jubilant, and no one could have imagined that Li Yuntian, who was busy with official business, would come thousands of miles to visit them, and many people burst into tears.

This made Li Anmin and Li Anming shocked again, and vaguely understood that Li Yuntian's tour of the Western Regions and Nanyang this time did not only want to pacify the place, but also wanted to come to visit these soldiers who followed him to fight in the north and south, and the horse leather shroud, this kind of friendship between comrades-in-arms is condensed through the test of life and death, and ordinary people cannot experience the preciousness of it.

Timur, the loyal king of Hami City, was taken aback when he learned that Li Yuntian was coming, he knew that Li Yuntian was busy with official business, and he thought that Li Yuntian would not come to the Western Regions again in his lifetime, so he hurriedly rushed out of the room to greet him, and because he was too excited, one of his shoes ran away.

After the end of the war in the Western Regions, the Zhongshun King Bu Ta Li, because he was a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, had moved to live in the Ming Dynasty, although Timur was also a prince, his situation was relatively special, and the prince could not be passed on to his heirs for only one lifetime.

The reason for this is because the loyal and obedient king Bu Dali was too young to deal with government affairs, so the Ming Dynasty named Timur as the auxiliary government of the loyal and righteous king, and the prince died in the first generation.

As a result, Timur was able to stay in the city of Hami and became the consul of the city.

It is worth mentioning that due to the complex situation in the Western Regions, the administrative system of the Western Regions is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to set up six rooms or anything in the local yamen.

Li Yuntian stayed in Hami City today, visited nearby villages and towns, personally understood the needs of the people and the existing social contradictions, and then resolved them.

Some matters originally needed to be reported to the Jiangwutang in the capital, but Li Yuntian dealt with them on the spot, which greatly improved the efficiency of work, and the local governance of the capital was undoubtedly of great benefit.

The people in the villages and towns didn't know Li Yuntian's identity at first, but they just thought that this richly dressed but amiable man was a rich and powerful nobleman.

When the people later learned that the noble man who talked and laughed with them was the famous Zhong Wangye, they couldn't be shocked, and no one could imagine that the high-ranking Zhong Wang Ye also had such a friendly and easy-going side.

Don't look at Li Yuntian's visit to those villages and towns is just a trivial matter, but its impact is huge, telling the local people that the Ming Dynasty has not forgotten them, and they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the orthodox emperor would not have sent him here to inspect, which invisibly made the people have a sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty.

Further west of Hami City is Turpan City, which is the territory harvested by the Ming Dynasty through the Battle of Guanxi, and the officials of Turpan City are extremely shocked by Li Yuntian's arrival, and at the same time feel very excited, which means that the imperial court has not forgotten them.

Since Turpan is a newly developed territory of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian's stay in Turpan City should be longer than Hami City, and there are many places to visit, and how to deal with the relationship with the local people is very important, after all, there are many large and small tribes in the Western Regions, and there is a very big difference from the Ming Dynasty.

Since he came to Turpan, then Li Yuntian naturally wanted to go to Heishui City, when the Ming army was flanked by the combined forces of the Northern Yuan and the Great Horde in front of Heishui City, and finally the Ming army was defeated, most of the 150,000 Ming troops were killed and wounded, and even the Ming army commander Yang Sanyu, the Marquis of Chengning, was missing, which can be described as a great shame in the history of the Ming army.

After the Battle of Kansai, Li Yuntian asked people to build a cemetery for the Ming soldiers who died in the battle outside Heishui City for future generations to pay tribute to and pay respects.

Although those soldiers were not defeated under the command of Li Yuntian, after all, they sacrificed their lives for the country, and as the supreme commander of the Ming army in the Western Regions, he should let those soldiers get the respect they deserve, and he should also let the world know the tragedy of the battle of Blackwater City and the cruelty of the war.

Not only Blackwater City, but also the cemetery of the Ming army was built outside the Blue Leaf City where the Timurid Empire defeated the Ming army, which made the nobles of the Ming Guard Department very grateful to Li Yuntian, you must know that the defeat of Blackwater City and Blue Leaf City was fought by the Wei Army, and if Li Yuntian did not mention it, no one would dare to build a cemetery for the defeated army.

In Li Yuntian's eyes, both the Weisuo Army and the army under the Jiangwutang are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so he will not favor one over the other, and will definitely give all the soldiers fair treatment, otherwise he will be sorry for their bloody battles on the battlefield.
