Ambassador Young's expedition to the west ended in Trabzon.

Of course, it was said that it was a westward expedition, and in fact there was no fighting.

The 30,000 Beijing battalion followed him, trekking all the way from the capital to the mountains and rivers, and then to the Black Sea, during which more than 500 died of illness and accidents......

It's inevitable.

30,000 people went on an expedition of more than 20,000 miles, and only 500 died, which is already a miracle, of course, mainly because Yang Feng has a team of medical experts behind him to provide protection, and even if he needs surgery, he has to operate it himself, and perform the operation under the guidance of a professional medical scientist on Sister Liu's side. As for the result of the operation, it doesn't matter anymore, he has done it himself, let's treat it if he dies, and what he can't cure is his superb medical skills and knife skills. However, the state of the 30,000 Beijing camp is not bad, after all, they did not suffer along the way, no matter where they went, there were local lords waiting for them, and those Tusi were bound to command the vassal kings, even if they let their subjects cut down on food and clothing, they had to let them eat well and be full.

There are also those who simply organize women's labor forces.

It's called borrowing.

Moreover, Ambassador Yang also continued to search for beauties for them along the way, ensuring that each of them brought back a beautiful woman from the Western Regions.

Those who already have wives are also divided.

Concubine!

A beautiful life of one wife and one concubine!

With these, even if they followed for nearly 20,000 miles, they were still in good spirits.

Ambassador Yang took the Beijing camp to quickly leave Trabzon and return to Silvan, but he did not return by the Caspian Sea as he came, but by land, that is, by Persia, and at this time his order to build the road had been issued, the four towns of Anxi under the control of King Yan, the three towns in Hezhong under the control of King Kangju, in short, all the Ming subjects in the Western Regions drew one out of ten, and then brought their own food and drink, and went to Hezhong, Kunling, and Beiting to prepare to build roads.

This road is known as the Daming National Highway.

National Highway No. 1.

It starts in the capital and ends in Trabzon, or Jianzhou.

Nearly 20,000 miles from east to west.

The whole road must be passed by four-wheeled carriages,

Among them, the western section of the Caspian Sea was built by Shirvan, Georgia, Armenia, Taoli Monastery, Ilhan and other vassals, of course, because the route only took Georgia and Shirvan, so whether the other vassals contributed people or money, they could discuss it themselves.

As for the Ottomans, they didn't, because the Ottomans had to cooperate with the Yan King to prepare for the crusade against the Roman Empire.

The reason, of course, is their bunch of titles.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords on the earth.

Only the Ming Emperor is qualified to be called the Lord of Eternity, the King of Kings and a bunch of other titles, and a city lord in Rome dares to call himself like this.

Arrogating!

Absolute transgression.

It has to be punched hard.

Therefore, the Ming Emperor authorized the King of Yan to command the Ottoman king, the two feudal domains of the Golden Horde, and crusade against Rome and the Balkan countries in the north and south.

It's going to be like this outwards in the future.

However, there is no time limit, in any case they decide for themselves when to send troops.

But in that case, the king of the Ottoman should not be allowed to take care of the construction of the road, for the road would not go through him.

However, this section is not important, after all, Sylfan and Georgia have roads, which are nothing more than repairs, and it is impossible for the two of them to let a large number of people from other families enter their territory, and the latter will pay some sponsorship, and the two of them will be able to complete the construction soon. But the Persians, the rivers, and the green hills were different, and they had to build from Talas, south to Samarkand, then from Samarkand to Bukhara, and from Bukhara to Khiva, from Khiva to Lake Salykamesh, and along the Uzboy River to the Caspian Sea. This is the only route that can maintain this national highway under the current conditions, and the key is that the national highway must have a series of post stations, and the post stations must have wells, which can be easily maintained before reaching Khiva, and the area between Samarkand and Bukhara is already a densely populated oasis. From Bukhara south to Charju, that is, Turkmenabad, then along the Amu Darya River to Khiva, from Khiva west to Lake Sarekamysh, and then the most important and only option, the Uzboy River, which no longer exists in modern times.

Because to the west of Khiva is the desert.

Pure desert.

To the south is also pure desert.

Only the Uzboy River, which branches off from the Amu Darya River, flows through it.

The channel branches off from the Amu Darya River in Khiva and then flows into Lake Sarekamysh, exits to the southwest of it and then flows southwest to the bay south of Turkmenbashi into the Caspian Sea.

Of course, not all year round water.

In fact, it is normal to have no water in the downstream section of Sarekamesh Lake, and it is a happy event to have water, but as a river oasis, there is stable groundwater, which can be solved by drilling wells. As for the other routes, the key is that there is no water, and there is no well, so the strong men levied by the three towns of Persia need to build roads on this route. This is actually not difficult, the rainfall in these places is pitiful, it is nothing more than tamping the ground, the river oasis is not a desert, the ground is also strong, and you can take a four-wheeled carriage if you tamp it, it is nothing more than a light load and heavy load. The real difficulty is to build a post station, and to maintain the post station, you need to build a small city, it is no man's land, but it is not easy to build roads, in short, the three towns of Persia must pay a heavy price for this.

Dead a lot of people.

The damage to agricultural production is also very serious.

In this era, there is still a lot of famine.

Now that they have to take out this part of the food, they will have to bear the grain themselves, and this project will really become an extremely heavy burden for them, and even the maintenance of the road will be a heavy burden in the future.

As for the commercial ...... that this path brings

That's a matter of common people's.

It is true that the lords will get rich because of the prosperity of commerce, but what will the common people get?

A large number of passing merchants will continue to push up the price of their daily necessities, after all, it is impossible for merchants to carry food, and in the end it will only make the bottom more miserable, the more prosperous the business, the more benefits the lord gets, the more miserable the bottom will be, and finally they will become the white bones laid under the national highway of Daming.

But......

What's the matter with the lord?

Rai.

Or the name later, Tehran.

"I still don't understand, what are you against?"

Yang Feng looked at the city lords in front of him.

At this time, Rai was no longer the core city of Persia, and was mainly slaughtered by the Mongols, and Qom in the south was the center in this area, but Yang Feng was not interested in going around there. As for the commanders in front of him, these are the commanders of the Persian capital command envoys that the Ming Dynasty has just sealed, and the main cities are all guards, and then the city lord is the commander.

As for their original titles, such as Sheikh or something, that one is a religious honorific title.

The folk can continue to be called.

However, it has no legal effect.

As for the theoretical governor of Persia, it was Shahru's nephew Luo Sitan, who was now standing beside Yang Feng like a loyal dog.

Shaharu's sons are still young, even the eldest son Ulugh is only ten years old, and he also needs to win over other factions, so his second brother Umar. The Shah of the Shah family, Rothtan, was arranged to be the commander of the Persian capital, but the ten-year-old Ulugh Beg sat in Herat as a commander. Herat is Shahru's lair, the place is full of cronies, and his ten-year-old son is enough, and he himself finds a cronie with the title of commander of the river, and then he personally sits in Samarkand. As for the title of commander of the green ridge capital, it was given to Khalil, who was torn apart by Yang Feng's father, who was stationed in Kandahar, but in Kunduz and Kabul, there were commanders and advisers, of course, they must all be Shahru's cronies.

There are also several in Persia.

These were the commanders of the Persian capital.

But they are different from these city lords.

They belonged to the conquerors, who were the true native Persian powers.

"Ambassador, it's not in Persia to build roads, why do you want Persia to send people? We can give some money, but we have to bring our own food, which is really unbearable, we are indeed loyal to the Ming Emperor, but even this cannot force us to do what we can't do. ”

A city lord said.

They can all be in Turkicized Persian.

Of course, it is not clear whether it is Turkic, Persian or Mongolian, anyway, it is a little, but Persian is the main body, and at this time West Asia and Khorasan are basically like this, and Central Asia also uses this language. After all, Persia is a deep civilization, like those nomadic tribal languages must gradually Persianize, but there is no accurate standard language, and there are many differences between them, but the upper classes can communicate with each other.

And Yang Feng can already speak.

"Sheikh, in the past, we asked you to send troops, didn't you send troops, but now the ambassador wants you to send some people to build roads, why don't you refuse."

Luo Sitan shouted.

"Emir, don't you even dare to mention your grandfather's name?"

The other city lord sneered.

The other city lords smiled knowingly.

Luo Sitan looked at them angrily, but didn't say anything more.

In fact, because his grandfather was angry to death, coupled with Shaharu's surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they could no longer suppress these Persian city lords, in the final analysis, they were just conquerors, and these city lords couldn't beat his family in the past, so they didn't dare to resist. But their family is like this now, of course, it is impossible to suppress Persia anymore, it is nothing more than the signboard suppression of the Ming Dynasty, and these city lords have united to fight against this matter, just to establish a new order.

"So I still don't understand, what are you against? Ten out of ten is to smoke your clan? Don't you even know how to exclude dissenters? Don't even understand how to force your disobedient families to build roads? Don't say that your territory is loyal to you, and there is no one who wants to take your position, I am giving you a chance, and you are actually against it? ”

Yang Feng said.

The city lords looked at each other.

"Ambassador, if you forcibly draw one out of ten, I'm afraid there will be a rebellion."

An elderly city lord said with a smile on his face.

"If you rebel, you will be killed, and then you will divide their land and women, don't you even understand this? If you can't kill it yourself, then Luo Sitan's soldiers will help you kill it, and if Luo Sitan's soldiers can't kill it, Shaharu will bring the soldiers of Hezhong and Khorasan to kill.

It's just a matter of how many people you kill.

If you kill all the rebels, naturally no one will dare to rebel. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Did Your Excellency teach us to kill our own people? Could this be the truth of the Ming Dynasty? ”

A city lord said angrily.

Then there was silence, and everyone looked at him in amazement.

Especially Luo Sitan, with a completely unbelievable gaze, looked at this guy who was obviously looking for death, but there was nothing strange, after all, the Persian place is not small, and I don't know Yang Feng's strength is still there.

Yang Feng sighed.

"I don't like it when you talk to me like that."

Ambassador Yang said slowly.

The next moment, before everyone could react, he had already arrived in front of the man like a ghost, and the latter was stunned for a moment because he was caught off guard, and then Yang Feng punched him in the face, and the guy screamed and fell to the side. At the moment when he fell, he was stepped on one leg by Yang Feng, because he fell to the ground on his side, so immediately the other leg was lifted, and in his scream, it instantly reached Yang Feng's shoulder, and then was pushed forward by Ambassador Yang......

"Whew......"

The man immediately let out a heart-rending scream.

Then he fainted all at once.

But at the same time, his leg had bent forward at an eerie angle.

Then Yang Feng continued to tear upward.

"Whew......"

He woke up again.

The surrounding city lords screamed in horror and tried to escape, but the soldiers of the Beijing camp outside immediately pointed their bayonets at them, and they retreated in fear.

And at this time, Yang Feng had already torn it open, the guy was like a maternal hemorrhage in the blood flowing, and the whole person was obviously dying, and those city lords stood there in horror, watching this scene tremblingly, until Yang Feng finally tore it off, he threw one leg and half of his body at the feet of those city lords......

"I've heard that someone doesn't believe that I tore up Milan Shah?"

He said.

The city lords all weakened their knees, and one by one instinctively fell to their knees.

"I really don't understand why you oppose it, I think this plan is a good thing for you, I or Da Ming don't care what happens inside you, for Da Ming, whoever is loyal to Da Ming is the city lord of the Ming Emperor. Whoever is the city lord of the Ming Emperor, the Ming Emperor will protect everything he has, whoever opposes him in the territory is against the Ming Emperor, and whoever dares to rebel against him is to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor will send troops to kill these rebels.

What you need is not to care what your subjects are, but are they your people?

No!

They are the ones who divide your land, your riches, and your women.

Everything that the Ming Emperor gave you, land, population, and wealth should have been owned only by you, and it was these people who you thought had taken everything that the Ming Emperor gave you, and you actually considered them, don't you think it's funny? Go back and give them orders, and give orders to the families that will not listen to you, that they should take one out of ten and go to build roads with food, and if they don't go, you will kill them. If you can't kill yourself, tell me, I'll let Luo Sitan help you, and there won't be enough of my soldiers to help you, who else in your own territory will dare to oppose after you kill you?

Why don't you understand?

I'm really here to help. ”

Yang Feng said with a look on his face that I would have been looking at Mingyue, but Mingyue said with distress in the ditch.
