The moment he saw He Neng, Wang Shouren was stunned. The people below only reported that He Jian, the governor of the three sides, was here, but did not mention He Neng, the father-in-law!

"I've met Mr. He, I've met Eunuch He." After Wang Shouren greeted the two people, he smiled and asked: "Eunuch He, why did you come to the northwest? But His Majesty gave His Majesty the Crown Prince a decree?"

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, He Jian glanced at Wang Shouren and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was worthy of being someone whom His Highness the Crown Prince valued. It was really amazing. Just by seeing Eunuch He, he could guess that His Majesty had a purpose for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Although it seems simple, most people really can't guess it, not to mention that Mr. Wang is still so young.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has sent a decree to summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital." He Neng looked at Wang Shouren and said with a serious face.

Wang Shouren looked at He Neng with some hesitation, then turned to look at He Jian: "But what happened?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Guyuan, does Mr. Wang know?" He Jian looked at Wang Shouren and asked.

Nodding slightly, Wang Shouren said bluntly: "Of course I know, and I also know that His Highness the Crown Prince has taken away the Black Dragon Guard."

"Does Mr. Wang know where the Crown Prince has gone?" He Jian said anxiously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not made it clear to the officials." Wang Shouren shook his head and joked. His Highness the Crown Prince did not say anything. If he said that he knew, wouldn't it mean that he was secretly spying on His Highness the Crown Prince's whereabouts? This is what a minister should do.

?Wang Shouren simply chose not to admit it. Of course, he really didn’t know.

He Jian took a deep look at Wang Shouren, how could he not understand what Wang Shouren meant, but he didn't care.

"Master Wang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just sent someone to convey the military order, asking the subordinates to transport grain and grass to Zhangye." He Jian did not hide anything from Wang Shouren and said directly: "There are no victims in Zhangye. I think there are no victims there."

If there is a war, His Highness the Crown Prince will only have 10,000 Black Dragon Guards by his side. Although the Black Dragon Guards are brave, there are only 10,000 people!"

Wang Shouren took a look at He Jian, and it was obvious that Lord He, the governor of the three sides, only knew about the bravery of the Black Dragon Guard, but he had no idea how brave the Black Dragon Guard was.

However, Wang Shouren would not explain this. He just said: "Master, don't worry. Even if there is a war in Zhangye, His Royal Highness will not be in danger. Besides, there are also Gansu Governor's Yamen and Gansu Town in Zhangye."

In Zhangye, there are also many enthusiastic troops there, and it seems that no one nearby can use a large army, right?"

In Wang Shouren's view, He Jian was just worrying. Zhangye was a military town in Gansu, and there were quite a few Ming troops there.

Although the combat effectiveness is not very good, there are still people there!

How can ordinary people easily shake the 10,000 Black Dragon Guards around His Highness the Crown Prince plus the Ming army in the Gansu military town? Even if the Mongols invade, they can only send prisoners. But in front of He Jian and He Neng

, Wang Shouren naturally did not dare to say this, nor did he dare to show any signs of it. Is this the way for you to be a minister? Aren't you worried about His Highness the Crown Prince?

Wang Shouren couldn't afford to wear this big hat, so he said directly: "Master He, Eunuch He, please come this way."

As he spoke, Wang Shouren made an invitation gesture and invited the two people to the map. After Wang Shouren looked at it, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"Master Wang, what do you see?" He Neng said anxiously: "At this time, please stop showing off."

Wang Shouren quickly smiled and said: "Master He, Eunuch He, you see, His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to transport grain and grass to Zhangye. In the opinion of the official, this is just the first step. The next step should be to send it to Suzhou." Wang Shouren said.

He pointed on the map, and then said: "It can even be transported here." As he said this, Wang Shouren clicked on another place.

"Hami Guard?" He Jian raised his head and looked at Wang Shouren, and said with a slight hesitation: "His Royal Highness is going to send troops to Hami Guard?"

Wang Shouren nodded, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few days ago that he would reopen the Silk Road, but we all know that the difficulty in reopening the Silk Road lies in the safety of the trade routes along the way. Here is Mongolia

Ma Heima, this Ma Heima, has been dishonest in recent years, and once occupied the Hami Guard."

"If we want to trade, we must deal with Ma Heima." Wang Shouren clicked twice on the map.

He Jian looked at the location on the map and said with a slight hesitation on his face: "Doesn't that mean we have to fight here?" He Jian pointed to a location on the map.

That location is naturally where Turpan will be in later generations, and it is also Ma Heima's hometown. If you want to teach Ma Heima a lesson, you can only fight here. Otherwise, there is no hope. After leaving Suzhou, you have to go to Jiayuguan.

Jiayuguan is Guazhou, and then ahead is Dunhuang. The power of the imperial court there can be said to be very weak.

Although there were seven Jisi Guards established in this area, there were Anding, Aduan, Quxian, Handong, Shazhou, Chijin Mongolian, and Hami Seven Guards. Later, Shazhou Guards moved inland and Handong was established in their old place.

Zuowei. However, it can be seen from the name that the Ming Dynasty did not have strong control over them. These seven guards are also called the "Seven Guards of the Northwest" and the "Seven Mongolian Guards". The reason for their name is that the leaders of the seven guards are all

Mongolian nobles.

To put it another way, these seven guard posts basically obeyed the Ming Dynasty on the surface. Being obedient was paying tribute, but it was only for a period of time, and many times the two sides would have to fight.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to reopen the Silk Road, he must open up this route, at least to Dunhuang, and then defeat the current Ma Heima, and then use Dunhuang as a trading place. Because it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty

Put people like Ma Heima in Hamiwei or Suzhou, because it is too close to the Ming Dynasty.

Then Dunhuang becomes the best choice, but the Ming Dynasty has not operated Dunhuang for many years. Is it inappropriate to suddenly take action now?

Wang Shouren, however, did not think as much as He Jian thought. He turned to He Jian and said, "Sir, why don't you let me escort the food and fodder this time to my subordinates?"

He Jian's thoughts were interrupted by Wang Shouren. He was stunned for a moment. Then he raised his head and looked at Wang Shouren. His heart moved. He naturally understood why Wang Shouren asked for orders to escort the grain and grass. The purpose was to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and find out where he was.

Secondly, he can lead troops there and help if there is a war.
