Chapter 109 Dreams still have to be
Yang Shaofeng looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was proud in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "So, was it that Ma Heimu who took the initiative to persuade their king and ask me to garrison troops in Turpan?"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu nodding, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Why do I think it was the second uncle who scared him? Are you sure you didn't hit him?"
By pushing others by himself, Yang Shaofeng felt that if he was Ma Heimu, it would never be possible for other countries to station troops on his territory, and no one would be allowed to replace him. If he was Zhu Gaoxu, if Ma Heimu did not agree to station troops, he would probably be able to agree.
As for double standards, some banana elites are so fucked that Yang Shaofeng, a pure child, was taken away...
He grabbed a piece of lamb chop and was about to put it in his mouth, but when he heard Yang Shaofeng questioning himself like this, the honest man Zhu Gaoxu was immediately unhappy and spat out loudly, "Fuck! I'm not a guy like you, your second uncle, I am a gentleman, how could you beat him?
I just magnified the cruelty of Mai Duo so much that the Turpan mission, which was a small country and the weak country, were frightened and cried and shouted, wanting to invite the Ming Dynasty to station troops there, and be willing to bear all the expenses."
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu gesticking with his little finger, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but mock him: "So, the second uncle actually said Mai Duo as the kind of demon that can eat people's hearts?"
After avoiding the bones that Zhu Gaoxu hit, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Where is Liu Shaochong?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Shaofeng unexpectedly and said, "I thought you were worried about Mai Duo. Now it seems that you are more afraid of the castrator named Liu Shaochong?"
Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "Mai Duo is not a good person to be with, but he is definitely not a cruel person who cannot be provoked. If he is to be killed, he is considered a hero. To be honest, he is more suitable to be thinner than paper.
But Liu Shaochong, who was able to enter the palace at the beginning, and brought his own brother in, now he can come up with a vicious plan to intercept the Turpan mission, which shows how cruel this person is. It is better to be an enemy of Alutai than to be an enemy of such a complete villain, at least he is a clear sword and a spear."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "What I mean is that it is better to provoke gentlemen than villains. This is a clear instruction from ancient times.
But you don’t have to worry too much. Since they are heading to the Western Regions, there is no possibility of coming back in a short period of time. Let’s just let them go to the Western Regions.
Moreover, don’t you think the current situation is the most beneficial to my Ming Dynasty?”
He grabbed a wet towel and wiped his hands, then drank the wine in the cup. Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Mai Duo and Liu Shaochong, the dead eunuch, were chaotic in the Western Regions, and might even cause disaster to the small countries west of the Western Regions. Isn't this a good thing?"
Yang Shaofeng chuckled and said, "It's indeed a good thing. When they completely destroy the small countries west of the Western Regions and the small countries west of the Western Regions into ruins, it's best to wait until all the so-called kings and other things do not exist, our Ming Dynasty can send heavenly soldiers to silence the people and punish them, and then those places will belong to my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Gaoxu shouted, "Don't be stupid. The weather is very cold in the morning and evening, and it is very hot at noon. There are deserts everywhere. If you want to grow food, it is probably even more difficult. What are you doing?
But you, in just a few months, have made such a big scene in the city here. Let's take me to see it."
Yang Shaofeng stood up and led Zhu Gaoxu to the construction site outside the Tiju Branch. He smiled while walking, "Uncle Second thought those places were useless? Do people in this world think there are too many lands? Let's get them back first, and they will always be useful in the future."
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "It's not cost-effective. The grain output is low and cattle and sheep cannot be grazed in the desert. What's the use? Unless you can find the benefits of occupying those places now, it's better to let them guard the border for me, Daming."
As the two of them spoke, they had already left the area where the city wall was originally located. Zhu Gaoxu asked: "What are you planning for this city?"
Seeing that it was still far from the construction site, Yang Shaofeng explained in a low voice: "I originally thought about opening a border market, and relying on the tricks of wool and salt and iron to get those nomadic peoples off the horses. But they didn't expect it and gradually became what they are now.
In this situation, my nephew's purpose has been mostly real. The Tatars and the Oirat hated each other even more, and the threat to our Ming Dynasty became smaller and smaller.
But what my nephew never expected was that many small tribes have either moved westward with Madou or merged into two divisions, and some have simply disappeared, so that there are serious shortages of young and strong people who can come to work now.
However, no matter what, it is better to achieve the goal. The process in between is naturally no longer important. Just wait until the Tatars and Oirats come to get used to living in border cities, then there will be no threat to the grassland."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Otherwise, you scholars have dirty hearts. You can think of such insidious tricks, which is worthy of Yang Dianma."
Are you praising me?
Yang Shaofeng, with a cute newbie expression, thought Zhu Gaoxu was praising him and slowly took Zhu Gaoxu to the construction site.
After walking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu said, "You have to work hard. I will go back to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow. At that time, these 30,000 elite cavalry will stay in the border city. I will leave you with the deputy general Bi Rong, and you will discuss the rest."
Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "No need to have 30,000, 10,000 is enough. However, laborers are scarce here now, so I am really worried about my nephew."
Seeing Yang Shaofeng's look of anticipation, Zhu Gaoxu spat and sneered: "Why do you want me to do if you lack personnel? Can I still give you money? Also, don't lose Bali, Turpan, Yili, Fork power, Kuxian, Halie and other envoys will go with me to Shuntian Prefecture to celebrate tomorrow. If you have any evil ideas, please hurry up!"
Yang Shaofeng said with an innocent look: "My nephew has always been a gentleman. Have you ever had any insulting ideas?"
After touching his chin and pondering for a while, Yang Shaofeng continued: "These messy people sent people to pay tribute to horses. I guess they wanted to deceive the tribute and return the gifts, and the other was to ask our Ming Dynasty to garrison there."
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled and mocked: "The country is small and the people are scarce, and they cannot defeat Mai Duo, but who will blame him? If they are more successful, how dare Mai Duo treat them as nothing?
Especially Bethbali, who had a grudge with Halie, both sides were accumulating strength to prepare for a big battle. Now that their king Mahama is dead, Mahama's nephew Nahei Shi only adheres to the rule, and some of them are lively watching."
Yang Shaofeng also chuckled and said, "No matter if they die, I just take this opportunity to make the countries in the Western Regions go into chaos first. Then we can clean up the mess.
However, since these messengers have arrived, our gods and immortals have perfume and silk, and they cannot be rewarded with some of these things, so that they can take them back, and then organize a caravan to see if they can reopen the Silk Road."
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "The situation in the Western Regions is much more complicated than you think. Reopening the Silk Road is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do."
Yang Shaofeng said, "Look at the city here, I couldn't even compare to a small county at the beginning. What is the scale now? I have to have a dream, what if it is realized?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "My time in the border city is not more than three days. I am not very clear about what you said. However, seeing these Tatars and Oirats building cities, I feel that it should not be far from the day you said, and maybe it will be successful in just ten or eight years."
Yang Shaofeng was about to nod, but heard the dog behind him suddenly whisper: "Hey! That person, what are you doing!"
He turned his head and looked at the dog, then looked in the direction of the dog's finger, but saw a group of Tatars who were about to have lunch. A man's hand was stopped in front of his chest, and he was holding a large piece of cake in his hand.
The dog behind Yang Shaofeng saw that his young master had noticed it, and whispered: "Young master, I just saw this barbarian wanting to put the cake in my arms. Isn't this a advantage for our family?"
Yang Shaofeng laughed and turned to Zhu Gaoxu toward the man who wanted to steal the cake.
The man's face turned red, and his hand holding the pancake seemed to have no idea where to put it, and just hung there.
Yang Shaofeng smiled and said, "But can't eat enough?"
The man's lips moved, and after a while, he said anxiously: "No, I can eat enough, I want to take it home for my children!"
Yang Shaofeng nodded, turned around and walked into the basket with cakes, took two more, and after he came back, he stuffed them to the man, and smiled and said, "The construction site is from the construction site. You should eat it, and you have to eat it. Only when you are full can you have the energy to work and earn wages. If you have the wages, you will not have to worry about food.
However, these two pancakes were given to my children."
After the man took the cake, Yang Shaofeng stood up and headed to another place with Zhu Gaoxu.
After walking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke, "You boy's method of buying people's hearts is really clever. Maybe it doesn't take ten or eight years, or maybe it only takes three or five years to see who Arutai is again."
Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "Uncle Second Underestimated Alutai. Can't Alutai think of what we can think of? It's just that we are asking us now, so we just hide it and don't send it."
Zhu Gaoxu said: "You understand people's hearts, but you don't understand military spirits. If a person's heart is in chaos, he will follow the hearts of a large number of people, so there is a saying that the seven forbidden and fifty-four kills are said. Like this man today, does Alutai dare to take him to fight you in the future?"
Suddenly shook his head, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Shaofeng suspiciously and said suspiciously: "No, you must have any tricks, right?"
Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "I am a honest gentleman. How can I do any tricks?"
