In the field of Erbao Town in Hami, Yang Chengying was inspecting the cotton field that Muhammaitixia showed him.

In terms of cotton quality and yield, southern Xinjiang is second to none.

However, the quality of Hami's cotton is not bad.

It's just that because of the problem of selling cotton and the need to eat, the yield cannot be increased.

In addition, Hami was constantly harassed by the Oirat Mongols, which led to the looting of a large amount of cotton.

This makes the farmer very cautious.

When Yang Chengying came over, the people of Hami were hiding in the house and secretly watching him.

The people did not understand that the respected "Akimu Burke" would lead the way for a young man dressed in fine clothes, and did not dare to take a step forward.

So men, women, and children all became curious and avoided looking.

But I saw a column of Ming soldiers in bright armor and strange firearms guarding the main road, and a pair of cold eyes stared at the people of Hami.

"How many people are growing cotton here? The cotton field doesn't look like much."

Yang Chengying looked at this place, and there was a big gap between what he wanted.

"Back to Your Highness, every family in the village has it, but they don't plant much. After all, the big guys have to eat."

Muhammatisha replied respectfully.

"Will the cotton they grow sell at the market, except for weaving their own cloth?"

"How could this be?" Muhan bought Shamon, "Some of it is handed over to me, and the other part is woven by himself, and then he sells it in the market, so how can he sell cotton directly?"

"So, how much do you charge?"

Yang Chengying asked a question that hit the soul.

Muhammaitisha smiled awkwardly.

The Burkes of Central Asia never set the amount of tribute, and the officials did not have salaries, but only demanded according to the number of rich and poor people in their own jurisdiction.

In addition, they practice the unity of government and religion, and launch a "forbidden move" at every turn - gathering the people as cannon fodder to launch a suicidal attack on the enemy.

The feudal army could simply parry, and it was scattered as soon as it was rushed.

Therefore, the big and small Burkes in Central Asia live a life of "self-respect".

Yarkand Khan was nominally a "Khan", but in fact he was equivalent to the leader of the alliance.

Later, people often joked about Zhang Xianzhong, saying that he was born in the wrong place, and he should live in Central Asia, and he was a lame Timur and other characters.

"Hami has a special geographical location, with Oirat Mongolia to the north, Yarkand Khanate to the west, Daming to the east, and Choktu Taiji to the south."

Yang Chengying analyzed: "As the eastern gate of the Central Plains into the Western Regions, I want to make an important deal with you."

After listening to the translation's words, Muhamat Tixia's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, please speak."

"Later, cotton was planted on a large scale. All the cotton, except for the necessities of his own life, was spun into cloth and then formed into a caravan and sent to the four tribes of Oirat Mongolia free of charge."

When Yang Chengying said the last sentence, he looked at Batur Huntaiji.

Batur Huntai was stunned for a moment and looked at Muhammaitisha.

He found that Muhammatisha was also watching him.

The two of them stared at each other, both of them looked confused, and they didn't understand what Yang Chengying meant.

"Make a list of all the cloth you sell, one a year, and send it to Uriya Sutai, and we will pay the money."

Yang Chengying continued.

"Huh, Uriya Sutai? Isn't that the grazing land of Lama Tenzin? How did it become Yang Chengying's territory?" Muhammaitisha was taken aback.

Seeing the doubts in Muhammatsha's heart, Batur Huntaiji explained, "Lama Tenzin has been named Zasak by His Highness, and Uriya Sutai will be the governor's residence sent by His Highness in the future, and he will be in charge of Transkhalkha Mongolia and Oirat Mongolia."

"Oh." Muhammatisha suddenly realized, and his heart was shocked.

But it's easy to understand when you think of these well-trained and well-armed soldiers.

"Your Highness, give them for free?" Muhammaitisha asked in confirmation.

"Free delivery." Yang Chengying nodded, "You send someone to inform Batur before you go

and let them send troops to protect the caravan."

"Yes." Batur Huntaiji hurriedly responded.

Send coarse cloth for free, who doesn't like it.

At the same time, he could see that His Highness was deliberately testing his loyalty, and he would not show it at this time!

"By the way, you keep Hami safe from being attacked by the Yaktutaiji."

Yang Chengying This can be regarded as making Hami a protectorate of the Dzungar Ministry.

Batur Huntaiji happily agreed.

In the future, you can enter and exit Hami openly, and there is no need to loot.

Mu Han Maitixia felt unhappy in his heart, why didn't he discuss this kind of matter with me, the party, and make a decision directly.

Yang Chengying seemed to see it, and said with a smile: "Akimu Burke, today's loss, he will be rewarded in the future. I've heard that Hamiwei was once set up here, but it was terminated. What do you think of the new Hamiwei coming out of your family in the future?"

Mu Hanmaitixia's eyes lit up, he knew very well that Yang Chengying's power was not far from Dingding World.

This is equivalent to getting an early entry ticket, which is a hundred times stronger than those Burkes who came later.

What's more, he also received security and money.

"I will definitely encourage the people to grow more cotton and send it to Oirat Mongolia." Muhammati Xia gave a big gift, which can be regarded as acknowledging Yang Chengying's status.

Yang Chengying nodded with satisfaction.

On the way back to the camp of the Liaodong Army, Batur Huntaiji scratched his ears and cheeks: "Your Highness, please forgive the ministers for being stupid and not understanding His Highness's intentions here."

Yang Chengying said with a smile, "Hami is the eastern gate for the Central Plains to enter the Western Regions, and winning over Muhammaitixia will help pacify the Western Regions. What's more...... Cotton!"

"Cotton?" Batur Huntaiji was puzzled.

"Do you see the clothes my soldier is wearing? And the gunpowder they use, in fact, is related to cotton."

Yang Chengying said, "You may not have heard of me, there is a strange thing in Liaodong that can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving. The quality of Hami's cotton is good, not only in Hami, but also in the entire Western Regions."

"You don't sound like a prince, but like a businessman."

Batur Huntai thought for a long time and held back this sentence.

Yang Chengying laughed: "That's right, fighting a war is also a business. You don't know, most of the families of the soldiers in our army work in the textile workshops, and they are in urgent need of cotton at a relatively low price."

"That, Hami is far away in the Western Regions, and cotton can't be delivered to Liaodong. And why do you want Hami to grow cotton on a large scale now?"

"How can I find a latrine when I need it?" Yang Chengying said, "I asked them to plant cotton in advance, so that they could master the planting technology, and if they don't use it for a long time, it will be abandoned."

"Your Highness's words make sense."

Batur Huntaiji finally understood part of it. ap.

"Behave well and complete my account. When our army returns, we will march further west."

Yang Chengying admonished.

"Yes." Batur Huntaiji gave a salute on his horse.

After staying in Hami for five days, Yang Chengying said goodbye to Muhammatisha and Batur Huntaiji, and led his army eastward, passing through Gansu, where there were few people, to the Alxa region.

It is the grazing land of the Ordos Department.

Once there, the expedition ended.

At the same time, Wang Qiaonian, the governor of the three sides, led his army to Xiangcheng.
