Li Shuang'an said nothing and waited quietly for the rest of Dong Zan's discussion.
"First of all, if I remember correctly, some traveling merchants said that the imperial court issued an imperial edict, and Qin Mo's hard work and meritorious service allowed Qin Mo to take the Qin family to explore overseas and establish a state.
How long has it been since the imperial edict was issued to the time when the Supreme Emperor wrote a letter asking you to go to the Western Regions?
Less than a year!
Wandering on the sea, it can range from a few months to a year and a half. Maybe Qin Mo is still wandering on the sea now.
But if Qin Mo is wandering on the sea, then the Supreme Emperor will not let you lead 100,000 troops to the Western Regions.
So I personally feel that Qin Mo may have left Daqian long ago.
Moreover, the Supreme Emperor didn’t know it before leaving Daqian! "
"Brother-in-law, why did he leave Daqian without permission?" Li Shuangan frowned.
"Does this need to be said?" Dalun Dongzan shook his head, "His achievements are so great that he surpasses his master!"
"But my brother-in-law has no objections to Da Gan!"
"Yes, Qin Mo may have no objection to Da Gan, but he is a cloud above Da Gan's head. The Supreme Emperor has always been in poor health. To put it bluntly, the current situation is that the leader is weak and the minister is strong.
Moreover, this minister was so strong that after the Supreme Emperor left, no one could restrain him.
Qin Mo's influence on the Daqian court, the people, and the military was unparalleled.
I once thought that Qin Mo actually has many opportunities to become that god.
But Qin Mo is such an amazing hero, and the Dagan people still have a low opinion of him..."
This former enemy who killed his son, at this moment, he was so generous with his praise, "Qin Mo is so smart. He must have felt something before he left with his whole family. Otherwise, with his detachment, Status, don’t be too good if you have done great work in college!”
"You mean, uncle, he directed this drama?"
"It's hard to say, in short, Qin Mo left the capital for just those reasons, and I can conclude that Qin Mo didn't have such thoughts.
Otherwise, the Supreme Emperor may not be able to defeat Qin Mo. I can only say that he did a bad job in this matter. "
"Then shall I still go to the Western Region?"
"Of course I have to go." Da Lundong praised: "Go and find out what happened."
Li Shuang'an nodded. His uncle's letter said that Qin Mo founded a country called the Ming Dynasty and had become a powerful enemy of Da Qian.
It is said that Qin Mo has been rebellious for a long time.
He felt something was wrong. If so, Qin Mo would have many opportunities to severely damage Da Gan.
Why should it be so?
Logically it doesn't work.
But he didn't even show it to Dongzan.
"I've been dispatching troops and generals in the past few days, so I'll leave it to you to make peace with the situation!" Li Shuang'an said.
"This is what I should do." Da Lun Dongzan smiled.
Within a few days, Li Shuangan mobilized his troops and led an army of 100,000 people towards the big stone.
In recent years, the road to Dashi Yuezhi has been repaired.
However, these two countries suffered heavy losses in the early years and have never recovered.
Especially those cities that have been affected by the disease are even more empty, and they are still ghost towns until now.
From time to time, spooky and scary stories come out.
A month and a half later, Li Shuangan and Yuchi Badao arrived at the border of Dashi.
Half of the big stone belongs to Dagan and half to the big stone. It was originally meant to appease the people of the country.
And Li Sixun is already waiting here.
"I've met the Governor!" Li Shuang'an said.
"Zanpu is so polite!" Li Sixun didn't dare to show off and hurriedly went over to greet him. After all, Li Shuangan's Zanpu was of a higher level than him.
Although Nanfan is now in peace, Nanfan's strategic position is still on the front line.
It is the most important springboard to enter the Western Region.
And Li Shuangan's lineage will be Zanpu of Nanfan for generations to come.
"How is the situation now?" Li Shuang'an asked after the two chatted for a while.
"Da Qian is currently stationed to the north of Dashi, while Daming's navy is stationed to the south of Dashi, with a bay separating the two sides.
They set up a base in Nanguo, the southernmost part of Dashi. The navy stationed 50,000 people and had huge ships made of steel, with no less than 400 ships.
The intelligence obtained is also not optimistic. One-third of the opponent's ships are steamships, with deeper drafts, faster speeds than ours, and strong defensive and offensive capabilities.
Their weapons are no worse than ours, and even... better than what we use. "
The navy is the richest team in Daqian. An ordinary gang leader in the navy has a salary of fifty taels a year.
Eat well, wear well, use well, and everyone is extremely rich.
"So many people?" Li Shuangan couldn't stand it when he heard 50,000 people!
"Yes, in fact, these people were sent by the Ming Dynasty." Li Sixun said in a deep voice: "Does the Qin Shang know? The Qin Shang, led by Zheng Fengnian, was the leading imperial merchant of the Ming Dynasty. They traveled all over the world all year round and had no less than 80,000 people under their command. people.
The entire Nanyang was almost emptied out by Zheng Fengnian. Only ten of the local people were left, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. Nanyang almost became an empty shell.
The slave business here in the Western Region is even more prosperous..."
As Li Sixun told him, Li Shuangan gradually understood the situation here.
The Ming Dynasty Navy had 50,000 available talents. If Zheng Fengnian's fleet was included, the available talents would exceed 100,000.
Everyone on the other side carries guns, and their ships are strong and cannons are strong. Coupled with Qin Mo's reputation, he easily opened up the situation in the Western Region.
Those small countries followed Zheng Fengnian's lead. Even the current leader of Dashi was supported by Zheng Fengnian.
They dug fierce fire oil in Dashi Bay. Strings of refined fierce fire oil were put into huge iron barrels and transported back to the Ming Dynasty by sea ships.
A small part of it is sold locally. The process of refining fierce fire oil in Daming is much better than that in Daqian.
Therefore, it is particularly popular in the countries in the Western Regions.
Daqian regarded Menghuo Oil as a kind of war storage. They all knew that the refined Menghuo Oil could be used to make bombs.
But it doesn’t take that much.
But the people of Ming Dynasty regarded this oil as a treasure.
"The price they paid to dig up the fierce oil was extremely low, and the land was leased for hundreds of years. When we think about it, it's very difficult..." Li Sixun said.
"Who is leading the troops on the other side?"
"He is a descendant of the Qin tribe, his name is Qin Tian. He is very tough and is not friendly to us. He has contacted us and threatened to use the bay as a boundary to develop independently and not interfere with the river." Li Sixun said.
"How about crossing the bay?"
“It’s okay to visit, but if you want to camp there, they will see it as a provocation.
However, Qin Tian proposed that they could jointly build a market in the small castle at the top of the bay to carry out trade between the two countries and develop peacefully! "At this point, Li Sixun sighed helplessly, "There aren't many people on the other side, but if we fight, we won't win or lose! "
Yuchi frowned domineeringly, "We have more than 200,000 people on our side. How can we still not defeat them?"
