The Ming Dynasty was destined to start colonial trade. Why did those colonial governors and soldiers go?

It's not just for the benefit. After you go there, you serve two terms, make a lot of money, and then return home with the wealth. If this is strictly controlled, then colonization will be impossible.

Although I really don't want to admit it, people will only devote themselves to doing it when their own interests are involved, otherwise they will just be lazy.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to investigate, but now it seems that Ma Qi is the most suitable candidate.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said to Qi Yuan: "I know, please step back!"

Qi Yuan left, and Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.

Now I basically have a general idea of ​​what I want to do, occupy Hami Guard, and then occupy Dunhuang, reform the army in Gansu, and at the same time build Jiayuguan, Hami Guard and Dunhuang into the Ming Dynasty's front station in the northwest. Whether it is

Trade or further conquest, this is the most appropriate choice.

"Your Highness, Mr. Nenghe and Wang Shouren are here." Liu Jin walked to Zhu Houzhao and bowed.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned. He could understand Wang Shouren's arrival, and he could probably guess that Wang Shouren would come over when his order to dispatch food reached Guyuan.

Zhu Houzhao just didn't expect He Neng to come. What was he doing?

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of a possibility. There was something wrong with his father's health, right?

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao is not ready to inherit the throne yet.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt weak in his heart.

"Let them come in." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and decided to let them come in first to see what they had to say.

Not long after, Wang Shouren and He Neng walked in from outside.

After the two people saluted, Zhu Houzhao first looked at He Neng and asked with urgency in his tone: "But what happened in the capital?"

Zhu Houzhao is really worried that something is wrong with his father. Although he often exercises his father and wants him to live a few more years, who can say this kind of thing accurately? The ability to correct history is very strong.

If my father cannot hold on any longer, then I will be in some trouble. You have to know what you are doing. Even if you just sit in the past, the effect will be different.

"Back to His Highness the Crown Prince, nothing happened in the capital. It's just that there was some friction in Liaodong. Your Majesty asked his servant to convey the order and summon His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the capital." He Neng replied quickly.

After hearing He Neng's words, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be this.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said: "Then pass the order!"

Rules cannot be abolished.

The process of delivering the edict was very simple, because the content of the edict was very simple, no nonsense, it was just to ask Zhu Houzhao to return to Beijing.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Houzhao also fell into deep thought, that is, what should he do, return to Beijing or continue to squat here?

Speaking of things in Liaodong, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care much about it, because Liaodong can fight. It's not a big problem to fight Horqin, but what you need to be careful about is not to be tricked by Dayan Khan, just in case this guy attacks the Liaodong Army on the grassland.

, that would be difficult to handle.

Seeing what my father meant, if he was so anxious to call him back to the capital, it probably meant that the call for war in the capital was very high.

On the Hamiwei side, to be honest, Zhu Houzhao didn't take it to heart at all.

The first is the Hami Guard's Bai Ya. The Hami Guard only has a few thousand people now, and they are still mixed with various ethnic groups. His men and horses have been wiped out long ago. Otherwise, Bai Ya would not be afraid of being attacked all day long.

He was killed, and then he was frightened by Man Su'er and went to join Man Su'er.

It was not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to occupy Hami. It was impossible for Mansu'er to come and fight, and he did not dare to come and fight.

The troops were stationed in Turpan at full speed. At this time, he would never dare to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, or even dare to provoke, because he was unstable internally, and there was a fierce offensive from the alien Ababa Jier externally. For this reason, he even

They all gave up on Aksu.

Under such circumstances, the copy of Ming Strategy is basically not difficult. In addition, Ma Qi has been running it for so many years, so it will be even easier, so his significance here is not too great.

Everyone in the room fell silent. Apparently everyone was waiting for Zhu Houzhao to make a decision. No one dared to say anything about this matter.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Houzhao turned to look at Wang Shouren, and then said: "Wang Shouren, you are here to supervise the military affairs of the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia, complete the military reform of the four provinces, and at the same time complete the development of Hami and Dunhuang. You

Do you know how to do it?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know what to do." Wang Shouren bowed quickly and said.

He had already made up his mind to write a strategy when he returned. Although His Highness the Crown Prince trusted him and said that he could do it, His Highness the Crown Prince would not even ask him how to do it, but to be a minister, you must act like a minister.

After returning home, write a detailed strategy to His Highness the Crown Prince so that His Highness knows what he is going to do. If there is anything that is not in line with His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes, His Highness can point it out.

You must know that His Highness the Prince's refusal to ask is a sign of trust in him, but if he does not express his position, he is ignorant.

"That's good." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "In that case, I will leave this place to you, and Tang Bohu will also stay. After I return to Beijing, I will ask my father to divide Jiayuguan and Hamiwei Dunhuang into

Together, establish a new capital commander's office and set up a Jiayu prefecture in Jiayuguan to be responsible for managing these three places."

"The newly established capital commander will still belong to the Gansu military town. The prefect of Jiayu will recommend Tang Bohu to be the commander."

"I will leave for Beijing in three days. If you have any issues, try to bring them up within these three days, and I will try my best to solve them for you."

Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu quickly bowed and said, "I understand."

That night, Zhu Houzhao summoned Ma Qi.

At this time, Ma Qi was in a very uneasy mood. He already knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was going back to Beijing, so this summons was the time to decide his fate.

"Your Majesty, Ma Qi, comes to see His Highness the Crown Prince." After Ma Qi saw Zhu Houzhao, he knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Get up!"

When Ma Qi stood up, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "I will return to Beijing in three days. I have something to tell you before I leave."

"His Highness has ordered me to go through fire and water without hesitation." Ma Qi said quickly.

"It's not that serious." Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed, waved his hand and said, "I have asked Admiral Wang Shouren to supervise the military affairs of the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia. At the same time, I have requested the imperial court to establish the Jiayudu Commandery Department. You can do it.
