In fact, not only the King of Liao, except for the King of Chu, who could not return to Annan and could only stay in Wuchang, other vassal kings who were willing to open up had already begun to act.

King Zhou has been heading to the plateau.

He had been doing this before he signed that agreement.

After Zhou Fan moved to Xining, he took the map given to him by Yang Feng, led his troops to Salt Lake, and then transported back a large amount of green salt and sold it to Lanzhou and other places, and now his first caravan has gone to Uszang, and is ready to continue south to open up Indian trade.

The other is Dogan.

He commanded the power of the envoys in order to control Dogan and Uszang, and sent troops to inspect Dogan.

Then the commanders who had been just fetters paid tribute to him......

If he doesn't pay tribute, he will beat people.

This area is actually very weak, and the current situation is better, after all, it was an important pastoral area in the Hu Yuan period, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the strongest Baili Tusi in the Duogan area was known as a hundred people and a hundred horses, like stars. He is still the most powerful force with hundreds of people and horses, although the Mongolian herdsmen are not sensitive to numbers, but using hundreds also proves that he really does not have many people, and his conquest should be a certain force in Qamdo, the latter put together more than 70 warriors to fight. So there was really no one in this place, and the king of Zhou sent a thousand cavalry to go around in a circle, and the chiefs who were under the command of the fetters immediately bowed their heads. But this area is an excellent pasture, so the main business of the king of Zhou now is to graze horses and cattle in Hehuang, and then sell these to merchants in the mainland.

Business is good.

In fact, he is also a second-hand dealer.

It was to buy from those chiefs and then resell them.

Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang used tea to exchange it for these chiefs, and the latter actually suffered a lot, but tea was a seller's market, and they had no choice.

But King Zhou's acquisition is much more kind, and King Zhou's reselling has nothing to do with the mutual market, he is the internal trade of the Ming Dynasty, completely in accordance with the market, so after he retracted, those chiefs made a lot of money, I have to say that Lao Zhu used to pit them too ruthlessly.

In short, he has really taken root in Qinghai, although he will not be as rich as the King of Liao in the future, but the resources and commerce of Qinghai will not be bad.

As for ...... to India

If he likes it, it's fine.

How many more years will he live anyway?

Keep working hard with your dreams, so that he doesn't have nothing to do.

The king of Shu has also arrived in Yunnan.

He borrowed King Min's palace, gave his younger brother rent every year, and then sent his guards south to Sanxuan and Liuwei in the name of trade to inspect the situation and prepare for further conquest, while Gu Cheng and He Fu both supported him.

Although Mu Sheng was vigilant, he didn't dare to do anything to him.

The King of Shu is not the King of Min.

It's not a big deal for him to bully King Min.

But the King of Shu, as Lan Yu's son-in-law, has the support of a huge military general system behind him, and the only thing Mu Sheng can do now is to fully support him to conquer the south, or send him out of Yunnan as soon as possible, otherwise Mu Sheng will be too scared.

The Mu family wants to dominate one side in Yunnan......

Originally, in history, Mu Sheng borrowed Jianwen's hand to cut King Min's domain, and then squeezed out King Min, who was re-sent by Zhu Di, and then finally drove King Min to Wugang step by step, and the Mu family completed the monopoly of Yunnan. Although their family was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they were also very resolute in dominating Yunnan, so by the end of the Ming Dynasty, they could even put out cannons against the governor's yamen. The reason why Yang Feng let the King of Shu go to Kunming was to take advantage of their psychology and force Mu Sheng to do his best to help the King of Shu send the latter out of Yunnan as soon as possible, so as to prevent the latter from staying for a long time and his control being threatened.

Apparently it worked.

In that case, let them play on their own!

Yang Feng doesn't care much about these marginal forces anymore, and even Jianwen doesn't bother to solve them quickly......

It was good for him to keep it.

This can give the gentry of the Ming Dynasty an ideal sustenance.

Then they will fantasize about the king and the north, so that they will have the courage to resist.

In case Jianwen is also destroyed, they will be completely desperate, at that time they want to lie dormant and endure, waiting for the opportunity, and then they will always endure and hide in the shadows, and then try to resurrect the soul in various ways when the opportunity comes, which is more dangerous, after all, they are really good at patience.

Gotta make them resist.

How can they be uprooted if they don't resist?

As for the area controlled by the imperial court, it is enough to build it well, as long as the area controlled by the imperial court is built well, the rest is to destroy the withering and decaying.

By the way, it also gives the common people a glimpse of what liberal capitalism is.

This kind of thing also has to make them understand that Ambassador Yang does encourage industry and commerce, but the industrial and commercial gentry really have no moderation, in fact, they are the same as the land gentry, and even in terms of cruelty, they want to surpass the land gentry, but the current common people are not clear about this. They just saw the prosperity brought about by this change, but they didn't know that they were really allowed to do so only because of Ambassador Yang's institutional protection, and that was not a good day.

They'll have to see.

Now Guangdong is clearly developing in this direction.

In order to make more money, the land gentry all over Guangdong began to grow a large number of cash crops, such as sugarcane.

At this time, sucrose was the absolute number one export.

Because only Daming has white sugar technology.

Although sugar cane is not rare, and sugar is not rare, sugar is a luxury, even in the South Seas, India is also a luxury, and even in the Arabian Peninsula and even through Europe where they have changed hands, sugar is a top luxury, and it can be used as a placebo in Europe.

The Cantonese gentry, who are currently going all out overseas, of course, would rather grow sugarcane than grain.

At the same time, this is used to artificially reduce Guangdong's grain production, create a grain shortage, and then raise prices, and get back the wages from the workers through grain prices.

will play.

As long as no one restrains them, the brains of these gentry are easy to use, and they will learn all kinds of exploitation methods without a teacher.

It's not bad to let the people of Daming see it.

And right now.

Far West.

"Ma, after walking for so long, I finally saw people!"

Tan Yuan, who was covered in wind and sand, stood on the grassland of Ma Kaichun, looking at a group of panicked herdsmen fleeing in front of him.

Behind him were more than 2,000 cavalry with the same wind and sand, but not all of them were the guards of the King of Yan, in fact, he only commanded the same knowledge, led a thousand guards, together with the Kunling who followed, commanded the cavalry under the jurisdiction of the envoy, and marched west along the Chu River together, inspecting the subjects along the way.

As for the cavalry of the Kunling Commander, the envoy was ......

Actually, it's Warat.

Ross Ministry.

After the death of Haohai Dayu, the remaining tribes of the Khoros, led by his son Mahamu, surrendered to the King of Yan and in the final division of the territory, he was given the position of commander of Kunlingdu, and then the land of the Seven Rivers as a pasture.

His city of Kunling was established on the sea.

That is, northwest of Ili, between the western foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and Lake Balkhash, the entire Ulros and the tribes that depended on them were divided into a dozen guards, and then scattered in the vast pastures of Lake Balkhash, the Chu River, and the Talas River. However, Broken Leaf is not his, but as a fief of King Yan, Talas City is not his, but he sent troops to garrison, from Broken Leaf to Talas is a series of post stations of the imperial court, this kind of post station goes east through Issyk-Kul Lake to Beiping Prefecture. It's just that these post stations are not garrisoned by Han Chinese, but on a rotational basis, and are stationed by people from all over the Western Regions to maintain the trade route from Beiping Prefecture to Hezhong, and then from Beiping Prefecture to Gaochang, from Gaochang to Hami and then to Jiayuguan.

In this way, the long post road connects the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions, and now with the orders of the imperial court, it can also be sent all the way from the capital to Talas.

Of course, it will take a few months.

The first step of King Yan's westward expedition was to integrate the tribes of Kunling's command and envoys.

And the first step in integration is to make rounds.

Therefore, Tan Yuan, these generals, each led a team of cavalry, and patrolled separately together with the Wara cavalry as a guide.

Tan Yuan is along the Chu River.

But he walked along the Chu River to the end, and continued forward across the desert before arriving here.

"Where is this?"

He asked the guide beside him.

The latter was a chieftain of the Ross tribe.

"In Turkic it is called Camster. Kara, which means the city of reeds. ”

The latter said.

"And the city here?"

Tan Yuan was stunned.

"It is also a city enclosed by earthen walls, but this place used to be counted as the Golden Horde, and now it is used by Timur to house the son of Urus Khan, Khoylchak, after Urus Khan was killed by Tokhtamysh, Khoylchak defected to Timur, and since then he has been charging Timur, and Timur has let him nomadize the Aral Sea, and this area and the Amu Darya River area in the south are his."

The guide said.

"Then whether he counts the Golden Horde or Timur, when our court divides the territory, where is it here?"

Tan Yuan said.

The officer with the map beside him stepped forward......

"Ours, the lower Syr Darya is ours, and the lower Amu Darya is theirs."

The officer said.

"Are you sure? We have to be reasonable. ”

Tan Yuan said.

"Sure, this boundary is a lazy straight line, starting from the foot of the mountain over there, until the middle of the Aral Sea, this piece is exactly in Kunling, and the upstream belongs to the river."

The officer said.

"Go, ask them for food!"

Tan Yuan said with satisfaction.

Indeed, it must be reasonable and well-founded, and those who command the scope of the envoys in Kunling are under the control of King Yan, and he leads the army to inspect here, and the local government must provide military rations to supply them. But it was the King of Kangju who belonged to the commander of the envoys in the river, and they had no right to eat or drink here, in fact, the main task of their swift trip was to extort. These tribes have to pay taxes, and the king of Yan decided to collect taxes in the west in order to conquer the west, which is simply that each tribe sacrifices cattle and sheep, and then distributes them to the guards he brought.

At the same time, he also had to transfer the young and strong, and then rushed to the Broken Leaf Huihe, and then King Yan would go north.

Target Chengji-Tula.

That is, Tyumen.

The Golden Horde was the largest city in the East.

With Tan Yuan's order, the two thousand cavalry behind him immediately became excited, these guys who had just passed through a desert of nearly two hundred miles, finally saw some living people, who were waiting for wine, food and even women.

As for military discipline......

It's all here, and there's a fart military discipline.

They followed King Yan all the way to this foreign land, not just to burn, kill and loot, but also to restrain them with military discipline, why didn't they stay in the east and live a stable life?

In fact, Zhu Di is also very aware of this, they are different from last time, last time was to carry out a mission, but now he really wants the soldiers to stay, then he must accommodate the soldiers.

Burn and loot ......

Burning, killing and looting is the only way to maintain the morale of an army.

This wolf-like army quickly formed a torrent that swept the grassland, and soon a small city surrounded by a small earthen wall appeared in front, and those herdsmen were pouring in in terror, although it was only a small earthen wall, but the restrictions on the cavalry were also obvious. But the problem is that these are not nomadic cavalry, just this kind of earthen wall and city gate are simply paper paste for Tan Yuan and his subordinates who have lived in Beiping for more than ten years, and then they rushed to the city and pulled out their short guns.

The galloping horsemen, armed with their short guns, swept over the walls and fired at the soldiers who were hurriedly guarding above.

Suppress them with a round of firearms.

Then a cavalryman rushed straight to the city gate with a second horse, which was a specially made gunpowder bag, and he ran out immediately after rushing in.

He had barely run two hundred paces when the firelight, gunpowder, sand and dust erupted from the cave of the city gate, and the huge explosion made the earthen walls tremble.

When it all dissipated, the light inside was revealed.

"Up!"

Tan Yuan roared.

The Varat cavalry howled in exuberance and madness, ignoring the arrows and death from the walls, and soon rushed into the gates.

Then there was the steady stream of Varat cavalry.

When these Warat soldiers appeared on the city wall, Tan Yuan and his subordinates began to enter the city......

It's collaboration.

That's the rule, too.

The Heavenly Soldiers were responsible for opening the city gates, Warat was responsible for rushing the first wave, and then the Heavenly Soldiers entered the city and divided the harvest equally.

"Commander, it seems that we haven't identified ourselves yet."

The officer shouted as he charged.

"Didn't we identify ourselves?"

Tan Yuan said.

"Back to the commander, haven't you already sent someone to tell them? You told them that we were sent by King Yan of the Ming Dynasty to inspect the place, and asked them to quickly open the door to greet and prepare food, but they said that they didn't know King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, this was their place, they were from the Golden Horde, and we couldn't control them. ”

Chief Warat hastened to remind him.

"Ah, yes, yes, I'm a person who forgets everything as soon as I start a war, fortunately you reminded me, yes, they say that they are from the Golden Horde, since they are from the Golden Horde, that is the wild man who does not obey the king, for this kind of wild man who does not obey the king of the Ming Dynasty, we are going to exterminate it, pass the order, severely punish these wild people who do not obey the king, and those who dare to resist will be killed."

Tan Yuan said with satisfaction.

The officer looked at them speechlessly.

But this kind of thing is also inevitable, after all, everyone has run so far and has not gained much, otherwise they would not have run here all the time.

Although the small city was not large, it was enough for two thousand cavalry.

The excited guards of the King of Yan and the Warat cavalry rushed into the small city like a pack of hungry wolves, just like the Mongol army that had marched westward, and began their slaughter......
