The great victory in Qamdo proved the combat effectiveness of firearms and camel cities, and the fierce battle in the snow verified the combat effectiveness of the new army trained for many years. These clearly told Zhu Yunwen and everyone that the Ming Dynasty would no longer be afraid of the nomads.
The most powerful Samarkand heavy cavalry and the most powerful Timurid cavalry were all destroyed by firearms and the new army. If Oara and Tatar wanted to hammer them, Zhu Yunwen would agree to hammer them.
Detaining the Ming envoy?
Oh, Zhu Yunwen is willing to lend them some courage, so as to provide a perfect reason for the Ming Dynasty to fight.
Fu An straightened his chest. The great victory in Qamdo gave Ming the confidence to be proud of the world. Looking around, there was indeed no enemy for Ming to look up to.
The entire territory of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be lifted up by a mysterious force, and the people here began to have a view of the surroundings from a high place.
The people are also proud, which is a rare thing in ancient times.
Fu An thinks he has read a lot and has read many history books, but looking at the text, in the previous dynasties, no matter how big the victory was, the happy people were mostly only a few, while the more common people were indifferent, indifferent, Unconscious, irrelevant...
For the common people, victory and defeat are the affairs of the court, while plowing the land and harvesting are their own business. Your family is happy, so why should we be happy? We won’t be charged a penny less in taxes...
The people do not celebrate national affairs, but only ask about the solar terms and farm mulberry trees.
But this phenomenon changed during the Jianwen Dynasty. All the way back to Beijing, countless people cheered and lit up lanterns. Even the woodcutter in the countryside could talk to the monks in the mountains: "We won a great victory in the Western Regions. Please give a few thanks to Amitabha..."
The people are proud of great victories and proud of winning battles.
The people of the world are one family, and we share weal and woe. This can be regarded as truly appearing in the Jianwen Dynasty.
The banquet lasted until the afternoon and then slowly moved away. Huo An was already drunk, Guo Ji was drunk and fell down on the table, Sun Liang was drunk and passed out, and he was talking nonsense one after another...
Zhu Yunwen only tasted it briefly and didn't drink much. He was more concerned about the governance of the Western Regions and the reopening of the Silk Road.
Taking into account Fu An's loyalty and unyielding nine years of hard work, Zhu Yunwen discussed with the cabinet ministers and finally decided to promote Fu An to the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with the title of third grade, while Guo Ji, Sun Liang and others were assigned to Honglu Temple. , Ministry of Husbandry, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, etc., the official positions range from the fourth to seventh grades.
In order to change people's understanding of the Western Regions, Zhu Yunwen ordered the Hanlin Academy to arrange personnel to collect materials and compile books such as "Customs of the Western Regions" and "The Biography of Fu An".
The cold wind in December did not dampen Zhu Yunwen's enthusiasm for government affairs. After the imperial office was sealed, he still handled government affairs in Wuying Hall. Yang Shiqi, who was on duty for the first time, was also called into Wuying Hall from time to time.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Huitong Hall received the Wala mission in Beijing. After moving Tupolo into the Huitong Hall, they took Ye Huzhi and Li Ye with them and plunged into the hustle and bustle.
Ye Huzhi observed the people, businessmen and passers-by in the capital, and couldn't help but sigh: "After defeating Timur, Ming Dynasty's temperament has changed. When I came here last year, they were not so proud, and they didn't treat outsiders like me much. I have a good face, but there is no slightest bit of disdain or disdain. But now, they seem to be unwilling to even look at me."
Tupolo learned the truth in the Ming Dynasty, and the army of the Western Expedition defeated Timur's 150,000 army from the front. They really killed Timur. The cunning Zhu Di actually released false news to confuse Wala, attract Wala to take advantage of the situation, and then find an opportunity to destroy Wala. He is really hateful.
"The Ming Dynasty has become very powerful, and their firearms have exceeded our imagination. If we become enemies with them, our ethnic group may be in danger of being destroyed."
Tupolo gave a sober judgment.
Li Ye nodded repeatedly: "I thought that heavy firearms were not enough to be a threat to us, but now it seems that Ming Dynasty has already solved this problem."
"You mean that concrete road? It's really a troublesome thing."
Batu Polo was very worried about this.
As the leader of the clan, Tupolo knew the military value of concrete roads. Once the Ming Dynasty used concrete roads to connect major border towns, the mobility of the Ming army, even if it was all infantry, would be greatly improved. Areas that originally took ten days to reach, It will most likely be shortened to seven days.
What's more, now that the Ming Dynasty already owns the Western Region, there are many suitable horse venues there. They will continuously obtain high-quality war horses. With the concrete roads, the Ming Dynasty cavalry can achieve maximum speed support and movement regardless of rain and snow day and night.
The development of the Ming Dynasty was like a scourge, pounced on the surrounding areas with fangs and claws. They were doing this, but Wala could only watch helplessly and let them build...
The danger has already arrived at the door. If Wala cannot obtain Daming's safety guarantee, the consequences will be disastrous.
"The imperial court has planned to reopen the Silk Road. Should we send a few shopkeepers to have a look next year? I heard that there are many top-quality jade stones there."
The conversation between pedestrians reached Tupolo's ears.
Tupolo was shocked. He turned around and looked at the merchants passing by. He suddenly said to Ye Zhi and Li Ye beside him: "Did you hear that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to reopen the Silk Road?"
"I heard it, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, I just don't understand.
Tupolo's face was very solemn, he held his hands and said: "First I heard that the Ming Dynasty was going to set up three divisions in the Western Regions, and now it is reopening the Silk Road. Don't you know what this means?"
Ye Zhi was confused, and Li Ye didn't understand either: "What does it mean?"
Tupolo rolled his eyes at the two of them and said seriously: "It means that the Ming Dynasty will always control the Western Region. Not only will they not weaken the Western Region, they will continue to strengthen it!~"
If it suddenly stops, Lee will inevitably become uneasy.
The location of the Western Region is too close to Wala. Although there is a big mountain in the middle, if the Ming army is determined to get over, it will only take a few days.
The Ming Dynasty's strengthening of the Western Region will inevitably threaten Oala's base camp!
Tupolo lamented, knowing what he could do, Wala had no way to resist and it was impossible to tell Zhu Yunwen that Wala would not allow the Ming Dynasty to own the Western Regions, nor allow the Ming Dynasty to open the Silk Road.
It can be expected that in the next five years, countless merchants will enter the Western Regions. By then, they will bring prosperity to the Western Regions and give Ming Dynasty a more stable ruling power!
"Let's go."
Tupolo was worried, so he walked forward with Ye Huzhi and Li Ye. A middle-aged man wearing a felt hat came towards him. He suddenly raised his head and showed a strange smile.
A creepy feeling arises spontaneously!
Tupolo suddenly felt bad, and almost instantly, the middle-aged man in front of him raised his hand and stabbed him with a short sword.
Yehu Zhi and Li Ye were not on guard at all, and never thought about it. This was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at the feet of the emperor, and they were envoys. Who would assassinate the envoy?
Tupolo subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the dagger stabbed straight into his arm, causing a heartbreaking pain that made people tremble.
"ah!"
Someone in the crowd screamed when they saw this scene.
Yehu Zhi and Li Ye saw the middle-aged man's fierceness and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Unfortunately, they didn't carry a knife with them, so they were very passive. Li Ye got a few cuts, and Ye Huzhi was kicked to the ground. Looking at the middle-aged man who was about to kill Tupolo, he reached out and took the bamboo stick next to the stall, pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted: "Who are you and why do you want to assassinate me?"
The middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Kill the barbarians and avenge the dead brothers!"
Tupolo's expression changed, and he swung it with the bamboo stick. The middle-aged man saw Tupolo's stick coming, but he didn't dodge. He raised his big hand, grabbed the bamboo stick suddenly, and with a click, he pulled the bamboo stick away. The stick was crushed!
"So powerful?!"
Tupolo couldn't believe that the opponent was so fierce, and his mind was shocked. Just as he was about to get away, the opponent's dagger pierced him.
clang--
An Xiuchun Dao knocked open the dagger, and then kicked it out with a heavy kick.
Zhang Xun, a member of the Security Bureau, looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground and wanted to get up, but two people appeared next to him and tied him up directly. The middle-aged man shouted: "Kill all the Hulu, kill all the Hulu!"
Zhang Xun's face was extremely ugly. He turned around and looked at the injured Balu Tuboluo, and quickly apologized: "We are from the Security Bureau, and we are not well-protected. I'm really sorry. The Security Bureau will definitely investigate the cause of the matter, and things will also happen here." Report to the Emperor, and now please ask King Anle to return to the Huitong Pavilion, I believe the imperial doctor will arrive soon."
He suddenly stopped being angry: "Security Bureau? I think you are also assassins. Our prince has come all the way, and you actually want our lives here. Why, you want to provoke a provocation and let Wala and Daming Can’t we start a war?”
Zhang Xun was only a member of a hundred households and did not have the authority to deal with such a big matter. He did not dare to say anything nonsense, so he had to say: "Please calm down and go back to the Huitong Hall to rest for the time being."
Li Ye gritted his teeth in pain and shouted: "Recuperate your whole family, we want to see your emperor! If you want to kill him, just do it in Fengtian Hall, why bother to arrange this!"
He tied up Tupolo's wound and said angrily: "This injury is nothing, but if your emperor doesn't give me an explanation, this matter will never end!"
As one of the three giants of Wala, Batu Polo also had dignity and wanted to save face. He came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty as a guest, a guest. But in the end, he was just strolling around and was suddenly almost fucked to death!
This matter is said to be unreasonable, and it is also the fault of Ming Dynasty.
The envoy of Wala and King Anle were assassinated. This matter is really important. After Liu Changge heard about it, he could hardly believe his ears. He ordered Xue Xia to survey the scene and investigate the truth, while hurriedly entering the palace.
Zhu Yunwen was also shocked when he heard the news. He ordered with a cold face: "Check, who is it and why did he assassinate the leader of Wala at this time! Find out by any means necessary, the sooner the better!"
There are many foreign envoys gathered in the capital. This kind of thing will inevitably attract the attention of countless people. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!
