After a few days of delay in Lanzhou, the two traveled all the way to JYG.

JYG is located in the middle of the narrowest valley 5 kilometers west of JYG City, GS Province, the city walls on both sides of the city pass cross the desert Gobi, the north is connected to the Black Mountain Hanging Wall Great Wall, the south is connected to the first pier in the world, is the westernmost pass of the Ming Great Wall

JYG was built in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372), and is composed of the inner city, the outer city, the Luo city, the urn city, the moat and the north and south wings of the Great Wall, with a total length of about 60 kilometers. The Great Wall city platform, pier platform, fort city are dotted around, by the inner city, the outer city, the moat three lines of defense form overlapping and defending, forming a defense system of five miles and a sui, ten miles and a pier, thirty miles and a fort, and a city of one hundred miles.

This place is far away from the court, and the two of them are not worried that they will be wanted, so they are undisguised during the day as if they were traveling to and from business.

I saw that the Baizhang city wall was suspected to be a dragon lying on the land, which became the work of the mountain and the nine thousands, and despised the trend of the world. Solid as gold, Jin Ge iron armor, and the blood of the war, is the traffic in the city, which seems peaceful and joyful.

Gongzi Yu said with emotion: "The strong man does not say anything about the three-foot sword, and the ministers rest and say a pill of mud - Tang Pi Rixiu "Title Tongguan Lanruo". Tie Niu hurriedly asked what this "pill of mud" meant.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu repeatedly sent lobbyists to persuade the Kui Huan who had seized Tianshui in Gansu to return to the imperial court, and when the Kui Huan hesitated, his general Wang Yuan persuaded him not to submit to the imperial court, and said that he could use "a pill of mud" to seal the Hangu Pass, so that the passage between Chang'an and Tianshui was blocked, and the imperial court was helpless against the Kui Huan.

While listening, Tie Niu praised: "Oh, my brother knows so much, although this poem is not very clear, I only feel arrogant and ruthless." ”

Gongzi Yu was also interested, and said with a smile: "Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, appointed his eldest sons as the king of Sai to reside in the northern border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and adopted the strategy of building a fortress and going north to encroach on the Northern Yuan Dynasty step by step. It wasn't until Zhu Di ascended the throne that he changed Zhu Yuanzhang's established strategy of encroaching on the Northern Yuan, abolished the Sai king, and seized the military power of the vassal king."

When Tie Niu heard this, he said: "Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's sons don't have the eloquence and foresight of Taizu, and they are really not as good as one generation after another."

The two of them said that, and then went out of the customs and hurried away, and there were winds and sand hitting on the road from time to time, and there was an endless stream of business travelers. Looking at the exotic woman, Tie Niu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother! You said that this foreign woman is so good-looking, her body should be big, she should be small, a pair of charming eyes, it's really amazing", Gongzi Yu snorted when he heard this, but he thought of Yu Qin in his heart, and I don't know if she was okay, thinking of the pear blossoms with rain when she parted, Chu Chu's poor beauty, and set off a ripple in his heart.

"Let's speed up, and the destination of this trip, Hami, will be reached," Gongzi Yu said loudly. On this Silk Road, the two drifted apart, and became a stroke in the background in the lonely picture scroll of the desert.

After the Ming army cleared the remnants of the Yuan dynasty in Lanzhou, the Buddhist Eastern Uighurs sought refuge in the Ming Dynasty in order to fight the Chagatai Khanate to the west. Ming Taizu incorporated these Eastern Uighur tribes into the Ming Dynasty's guard system, and established the Anding, Aduan, Quxian, Shazhou, Handong, Chijin, and Hami guards to exercise fetter rule.

The largest of these guards was Hamiwei, the leader of Hamiwei was directly given the highest military attache by the Ming Dynasty, the official position of Zuodu, and awarded the title of King of Zhongshun County. This official position and title are hereditary succession of the head of Hamiwei.

In the Zhu Di era, in order to concentrate troops to BJ to launch the Northern Expedition, many guards were abolished. Due to the removal of Dongshengwei, which made Shaanxi and Gansu face the impact of the Wara cavalry in the south, the Ming Dynasty had to concentrate its northwest forces in the north of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, which made the Ming Dynasty available for the westward JYG, and the strength to support Hamiwei became overstretched. As the Mongols entered the Hetao, the influence of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions became more and more ethereal.

It is precisely for this reason that Gongziyu chose the destination of this trip here, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, and it is a foreign handover, where there is a clear and secret fight, and the waves and clouds are treacherous, which is the place where the situation can create heroes.

After several days, the two of them came to Hamiwei. Most of the people here are Eastern Uighurs who believe in Buddhism, as well as some members of the Ming army guarding the army, as well as the Ming people who come and go to trade with the border passes.

The two first found a Daming inn that was not big or small, and it looked fairly clean, the consumption here was half more expensive than that in the Guannai, and most of the money earned was the fast money of the merchants. When he returned to the guest room, he called Xiao Er and gave him a silver ingot, and asked him to prepare a few sets of Ming costumes to facilitate daily walking, and the rest of the money was considered to be running money.

When Xiao'er heard this, he was not in a hurry to retreat, only to see him take a step forward and say: "Childe doesn't know, since Daming became an ancestor, the governance here has become increasingly loose, and foreign bandits are flourishing. ”。

Gongzi Yu handed over a small ingot of silver, and as a reward, Xiao Er just didn't accept it but said that he had given enough, so he withdrew. This person knows how to stop in moderation, it's a pity to be a shopkeeper, and he can take it for his own use in the future, Gongzi Yu thought in his heart.

Then Gongzi Yu and the two bathed and changed their clothes, and after eating, they rested, and a new opportunity awaited the two.
