"Yang Feng, the envoy of the Great Xia Kingdom, has seen the princess."

Yang Feng smiled hypocritically and came to the meeting of his aunt and sister-in-law.

"The surviving people can participate in this grand event, but it is thanks to the creativity of the ambassador, may the Buddha bless the ambassador."

Princess Lu, who had taken off her filial piety clothes, also returned the courtesy hypocritically, like a virtuous and virtuous chaste martyr, and then people ignored him and continued to talk to her sister-in-law. She has already gone out of the filial piety period, and her married daughter will keep it for a year, and she is one of the biggest patrons of this grand trip to the west, so she is naturally indispensable to come in person.

The little princess and her sister-in-law had a good chat.

After all, her sister-in-law is also a big customer of the bank, even if the future King Lu was not born to her, she is also the real Princess Lu......

Mother-in-law!

Therefore, Lu Fan's property is still in her hands.

Although there is no King Lu now, the fields of the Lu domain still exist, and the various industries operated by the Lu Wangfu are also there, and these are still huge wealth, because without the King of Lu, there are only a few women and a child, but the expenses have decreased sharply, and the wealth has been accumulated rapidly.

And the little princess is always full of affection for the person who can send her money.

Yang Feng stood very coldly beside him, while Zhang Ying watched coldly......

"Ambassador!"

A voice shouted from behind.

Yang Feng hurriedly turned his head, followed by the main and deputy envoys of this trip.

"Contemptible pedestrian department pedestrian Qian Guxun, ordered to envoy to the West, this is the deputy envoy pedestrian department pedestrian Li Sicong, before leaving His Majesty has a will, this trip should be guided by the ambassador.

I wonder if the ambassador is available? ”

The leader said.

There are some things that are obviously conspiratorial on this trip, of course, this kind of order cannot be ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, and others don't understand, this is indeed Yang Feng's job, and Zhu Yuanzhang has already greeted him.

Yang Feng looked at his sister-in-law very reluctantly, the two were chatting happily hand in hand, and Princess Lu also held a fan to block the laughter from time to time......

Yang Feng laughed horribly.

But in the end, he went with the two, looking back from time to time as he went.

"Ambassador, is there any danger for the princess to meet Princess Lu's sister-in-law, why does the ambassador look uneasy?"

Qian Guxun said with a smile.

He is a new science and technology jinshi, and he is in the thirtieth place in the top three.

"Well, how can it be dangerous for other aunts and sisters-in-law to meet? What's more, it's all soldiers! ”

Yang Feng said.

They weren't in danger!

But he's in danger!

In case the little princess sees that there is something wrong, then it is also very troublesome to go back, this little girl is getting smarter and smarter now, and she is becoming more and more vigilant, she is no longer a good child in the past, if she knows that he and his widowed sister-in-law really have any hookup, it is difficult to predict her reaction, it is said that Yang Feng now really misses the little princess who has no evil thoughts and directly helps him seduce Zhang Ying......

How simple and lovely!

The good things of the past are gone.

Of course, now we have to resign ourselves to fate.

He and the two pedestrians then boarded the latter's ship.

The pedestrian division was very important in the early Ming Dynasty.

At present, there is one chief officer, two deputy positions, and thirty-seven pedestrians in this yamen.

But......

All pedestrians are jinshi.

In addition to the outside place to be a county officer, the main thing in the top three jinshi is to arrange for the personnel division.

Forty jinshi!

How many yamen can have this kind of treatment?

In fact, the pedestrians' current duties and powers are very mixed, sending envoys to vassals, announcing the Tusi, inspecting the fiefdoms of the vassal kings, and even investigating the people's feelings for the emperor.

It's a bit like patrolling the imperial history.

But it's not like patrolling the imperial history to fix an area.

They are where the emperor remembers, then let them go there, even the tea and horse trade and even the recruitment of talents, even some special cases of trial they will also be ordered to participate, in fact, if you carefully calculate, they are the same as the power of those eunuchs later......

So Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't use eunuchs, used them to do what eunuchs did later.

Or later, those emperors who could no longer trust their ministers replaced the power of pedestrians with eunuchs.

Including envoys, many are also eunuchs.

"Two, in fact, you have only one real mission, to coax the Sultan of Delhi to sacrifice horses.

None of the others mattered.

For example, if you cooperate with Timur, if you don't talk about this, he will be desperate, Timur is his mortal enemy. For example, trade, this is also their dream, but they can't cross the South Seas, and the small countries in the Strait of Malacca don't allow them to cross at all. So don't care about these things, just make promises, try to coax them, the key is to ask them to sacrifice horses, as long as they are willing to sacrifice horses every year, then everything else is easy to say, the more you give, the better.

If they agree to sacrifice the horses, then you will come back with some by sea.

In addition, it is mainly by land.

His Majesty will arrange for Song Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Gansu, to send troops out of Jiayu Pass to the south to receive their envoys. ”

Yang Feng said.

That is the value of the Delhi Sultanate.

They really have nothing else but to be able to provide good horses for the Ming Dynasty, and even if they have, they can be solved by normal trade, and war horses have never been in normal trade, in fact, ancient India has always controlled the horse wari horse, and it is not foreign trade.

This kind of war horse is also valuable to themselves.

Unless, of course, too much is given.

Besides, compared to Mawarima, it is more important to get a strong reinforcement to deal with Timur.

They were destroyed by Timur.

And the transportation of a large number of horses, must choose the land route, that is, from India to the Karakoram Pass trade route, at this time Khotan area belongs to the fetters of Handongwei, and from Khotan to Jiayuguan along the way is already the Ming army activity area. In fact, before Yang Feng appeared, Lan Yu had led the army over, and then the king of Jin was forced to march westward, from Hami to Khotan, including several chieftains in Qinghai surrendered, and now Song Cheng and King Su guarded Gansu, and the goal of the march has begun to turn to Turpan. Therefore, this transportation line is already very safe, even the Us-Tibetan tribes that can threaten from the other side have surrendered, in short, as long as the Delhi Sultanate is willing to sacrifice horses, then it can be continuously sent to the Ming army through this line.

And at this time, there was no shortage of places to raise horses......

It's a wasteland everywhere!

In particular, soybean planting and sorghum planting have also been carried out, and in the future, there will be sufficient fodder and horse breeding will be released.

Not only cavalry, cavalry does need good war horses, and transportation also needs horses, the wooden tracks in Liaodong are repaired to the Liaohai Acropolis, according to the reaction there is very good, the use of manpower remains the same, the transportation volume of this distance is several times higher than in the past, so it is continuing to extend forward, preparing to repair all the way to Jilin City.

But this is the carriage propped up.

You can't do it without a horse.

"What if they asked for firearms?"

Qian Guxun said.

"Give!

You've got some rapid-fire guns and three-eyed guns.

These will have to be eliminated from the Ming Dynasty's firearms in ten years at most, and they will become rags that no one wants, and they are only allocated to the common people to fight wild ducks, and there is no need to care about these things. ”

Yang Feng said.

There's really no need to care.

After all, the production of arquebuses has begun to increase steadily, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this thing in the last actual combat exercise, which was a real combat exercise, which fully tested its value. As for the light cannon, it is also already being cast, but because the combat object does not have a strong city wall, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to cast a catty cannonball. Chasing nomadic cavalry on the steppe, of course, the lighter the better, in fact, the Ming army loved rapid-fire guns, especially camel-backed ones, even now some generals are not very interested in light cannons.

Rapid-fire artillery is the royal road on the steppe.

The camel squatted and sprayed five consecutive shots at the nomadic cavalry, and then the cavalry rushed out and slashed.

But in the future, the Ming army will not just fight nomadic cavalry.

When you go to the southwest mountains, these places in the South Seas, you can't expect that thing to bombard people's city walls.

And you have to rely on real cannons.

So even if rapid-fire guns and three-eyed guns are new firearms, there is no need to hide them now, and at this time India did not have firearms, and their earliest firearms appeared fifty years later, so it is easier for them to sacrifice horses with these firearms as bait.

Besides, after they got the firearms, they must have provoked Timur as soon as possible.

That's a good thing.

If the Delhi Sultanate and Timur can really make certain achievements, then the Ming Dynasty only needs to pull them from time to time to consume Timur to death, and it is best for them to form a long-term tug-of-war.

"One more thing, you have to pay attention, the Sultan of Delhi or the Sutan you used to translate in the past are not Buddhists."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, a contemptible person from Yuyao, Zhejiang, has been interacting with maritime merchants for generations, and he still knows what Sutan means, but because of this, he is a little puzzled, the country under Sutan's rule, is there really any Buddhism? Why did the ambassador think it was a bit ridiculous for the ambassador to send a group of monks to the country ruled by Sutan to seek Buddhism and worship the holy places of Buddhism? ”

Qian Guxun said with a smile.

"Well, this, it can't be said that it is all ruled by the Delhi Sultan, there are actually many small countries there, and there are some other believers in the Delhi Sultanate."

Yang Feng said with a posture that I just opened my eyes and said nonsense.

"I see, this Sutan is lenient, it's really rare!"

Qian Guxun also put on a posture that since this is the case, I also said with my eyes open and talking nonsense.

Then the two shameless men laughed at the same time.

In fact, the masters may not really know anything about this kind of thing, after all, the maritime trade has been prosperous for the past few hundred years, and the situation of Buddhism in India should be a little heard here. But after all, this kind of thing can only be regarded as a rumor, and besides, it doesn't matter whether the masters can get the Dharma or not, what matters is the propaganda effect of the event itself.

Look at the people on the shore who are sending off, and you can see the effect of this westward journey.

The Dharma is not important.

The most important thing is to make people pay attention to the Dharma because of this.

"Ambassador, not only Delhi and my two are on this trip, Your Majesty also has a decree to go to Myanmar to announce the decree and mediate the dispute between Luchuan and Burma."

Li Sicong said.

"That's right, you can go to the Delhi Sultanate first, and when you come back, take your horses to Burma, and then go to Yunnan by land, otherwise you don't know how many horses will be left alive when you reach the capital by long-distance sea, and it will be easy to do it by land." But the time must be calculated, must be winter passed, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the two can be guaranteed in the rainy season, they are cool and dry and rainy three seasons a year, the rainy season is when the disease is rampant, the dry season is very hot, and the winter cool season is the most comfortable. As for the matter between Myanmar and Luchuan, that Yang is not very clear, it is nothing more than some competing interests, what else can they have in that broken place, what is valuable is just a Mogu treasure well. ”

Yang Feng said.

Let them go to Burma when they come back.

What if something happens?

It is estimated that they will come back next year, they are official envoys, unlike those masters, they can return directly to China after completing the official exchanges with the Delhi Sultanate, and it just so happens that the battle of Annam is almost over at that time.

Install the latest version. 】

They went to Burma with a large number of gifts from the Delhi Sultanate and horses at the level of strategic resources, in case which toast was greedy?

Wouldn't that be perfect?

As for the current matter of Burma and Luchuan, in fact, it was Si Lunfa, the leader of Luchuan, who did not dare to provoke Daming after being beaten continuously, but he didn't want to give up his ambitions, so he turned his head to beat Burma, Burma asked His Majesty the Emperor for help, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to let them both be honest. At this time, the authority of the Ming Emperor in the southwest was still enough, and the strength of Myanmar at this time was not strong, the real strength was this Luchuan Silunfa, but he had reached the downhill road, and soon he would have to face civil strife, in short, that place was not really worthy of the attention of the Ming Dynasty. But for Yang Feng, even if there is no opportunity, he must create opportunities as much as possible, in case there is really a brain pump, just dizzy for a while?

Besides, even if there isn't, it's just a bit of a burden for these two messengers.

In this way, the two envoys got what they wanted from Yang Feng.

Yang Feng immediately disembarked.

And the little princess and Princess Lu were already waiting for him after chatting.

"Ambassador, I'm busy with business."

Princess Lu said suddenly.

"Well, a little thing, mainly entrusted by Your Majesty."

Yang Feng said.

The woman is getting more and more seductive.

Of course, it may also be that it has been held back for too long.

"My sister-in-law said she would go back with us."

The little princess said.

"Same, same boat, that is naturally welcome."

Yang Feng said.

"I'm afraid that the ambassador will think that it is inconvenient for me to be an outsider on the ship!"

Princess Lu said.

"The princess laughed, you are relatives, and I am an outsider."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, those masters began to board the boat, and while the little princess's eyes turned to that side, Princess Lu glanced at him seductively, and then turned around and raised three fingers behind his back, Yang Feng looked at these three fingers in obvious amazement, and then the provocative laughter of this demon woman sounded in front.

"Look, I don't know what she's doing!"

Yang Feng looked at Zhang Ying and said.

Then Zhang Yingxiao also raised three fingers in front of him......

"Don't mess around!"

Yang Feng said melancholy.

He's dancing on three eggs!

"Ha, I don't care, I'll wait for me when the time comes."

Zhang Ying also said enchantingly.

(Now I feel like an old man who has exhausted his energy, I have to write a little bit and then rest for a while to write a little more, and then I rest and write again, I burned until my face faded, my mother swept her hair and fell to the ground, my wife's eyelids hurt, and my son is now fully recovered)
