Some people are determined to do great things, some people are determined to be big officials, both of which can be called "big ambitions", but the conduct and pattern are like clouds, those who are determined to do big things look at the overall situation, have the family and the country in mind, and those who are determined to be big officials are flies and dogs, and there is only fame and fortune in their eyes.

Xu Jin never thought that he was a moral person, and he never intended to make selfless dedication, as a traverser, he just wanted to make the Ming Dynasty as strong as possible, make the people as happy as possible, and let the Chinese civilization shine as much as possible, that's all!

However, in Huang Dacan's view, Xu Jin is a firm practitioner who is determined to do great things, with his family and country in mind, and everything he has done is sending Daming into a prosperous era step by step.

Obviously, Huang Dacan is also a person who is determined to do great things, and he is a down-to-earth doer, so when he heard that Xu Jin was going to restore the ancient Silk Road and recreate the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel excited, this is a far-reaching and beneficial good thing for the benefit of all people.

However, it was precisely because of Huang Dacan's down-to-earth personality that he quickly realized the hidden worries, so he said worriedly: "Brother Ziqian has great ambitions, but ...... Wouldn't that be too hasty? ”

Indeed, Tatar has just been taken, and Warat has just cederated the land and surrendered, these two pieces are enough for the Ming to digest for several years, at this time, if you use troops against Turpan, once there is a mistake, it will inevitably suffer a stormy backlash, and then not only will all the results be destroyed in one fell swoop, but it may even harm the Ming Dynasty, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Xu Jin smiled calmly: "What Brother Shaoyun said is very true, it is indeed a bit rushed, but at the moment, Turpan is famous for using troops, and the soldiers are all there, so the opportunity is rare." Of course, my plan is to spend a few years gradually sweeping away the entire Western Regions, and this time only taking the Seven Guards of the Western Regions should not cause a strong backlash from the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Huang Dacan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, with Xu Jin's usual style, he was worried that Xu Jin would ignore the reality, rely on the strength of the army, and annex Turpan in one go, if he really did this, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, which would inevitably arouse the vigilance of other countries in the Western Regions, and it would be miserable to attack the Ming Dynasty in a group.

Huang Dacan pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Ziqian, this time we must use troops against Turpan in a two-pronged manner, paying equal attention to military and diplomacy, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos." ”

Xu Jin showed a look of appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said, "Brother Shaoyun, does he have a good plan?" ”

Huang Dacan seriously analyzed: "During the Han and Tang dynasties, there were Xiongnu and Turkic threats in the north, and now the threats in the north of the Ming Dynasty, Tatar and Warat have been settled by Brother Ziqian, so for the Ming Dynasty, it must be easier to control the Western Regions than in the Han and Tang dynasties."

But don't forget, there were many small countries in the Western Regions during the Han and Tang dynasties, and the national strength was not worth a damn, they were all grass on the wall, such as the Cheshi country, the Han army came to the Han Dynasty, and the Huns came to the Xiongnu.

And now the pattern of the Western Regions is very different, there are only a few unified powers, Turpan, Uzbek Khanate, Yarkand Khanate are three-legged, the strength is equal, and the Yibra in Qinghai is the weakest, but it is located in the heart, and the threat should not be underestimated.

The Uzbek Khanate is far to the west and poses no threat to the Ming Dynasty, so it will not be left alone for the time being, but the Yarkand Khanate and the Yibra must be vigilant. Therefore, Shaoyun believes that if Ziqian uses troops against Turpan, he must send envoys to the Yarkand Khanate and the Yibula Department, and promise to lure and stabilize these two countries temporarily, otherwise these three countries will be connected, and we will be in big trouble. ”

Xu Jin nodded approvingly: "The strength of the Yibula Department is weak, coupled with its location, it is easy to win over, and it is enough to trade with the horse market, but the Yarkand Khanate is very tricky." ”

Huang Dacan nodded and said: "The Yarkand Khanate borders the Uzbek Khanate, and most of the materials come from the Persian area, and the dependence on the Ming Dynasty is relatively small, so it is not easy to stabilize the Yarkand Khanate." But fortunately, although the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Sayide, and Mansuer are brothers, but the two are fighting endlessly, they are enemies rather than friends, and Sayid may not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xu Jin's eyes lit up and said, "Shaoyun seems to be in Central Asia...... Ahem, the countries of the Western Regions are all familiar with it, huh? ”

Huang Dacan smiled shyly and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Ziqian, you said, I have been squatting in Suzhou for six years in this city full of wind and sand, and I have handled no less than thousands of contradictions and lawsuits. For example, now that the Persian Empire has fallen, the Mughal dynasty is on the rise, and so on! ”

Xu Jin's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "The Duke of China was still thinking about the best candidate to envoy to the Yarkand Khanate just now, and the best candidate seems to be far away, but it is actually close at hand." ”

Huang Dacan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Brother Ziqian, I am clumsy in words, I am stupid by nature, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility!" ”

Xu Jin said solemnly: "Brother Shaoyun is full of talent, steady and decent, don't be presumptuous, plus Brother Shaoyun is more familiar with the Yarkand Khanate, it is most suitable for you to send the envoy, but there are many dangers along the way, Brother Shaoyun ......"

Huang Dacan's face turned slightly red, and he arched his hand and said: "It is a great honor for Shaoyun to serve the country, since Brother Ziqian can afford it, Shaoyun is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, so he will go to the Yarkand Khanate, and he will definitely live up to Brother Ziqian's trust." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, he deliberately said that the road was dangerous just now, but in fact he had the intention of agitating the general, but the honest man was really fooled, and immediately agreed to come down, alas, bullying the honest man, I am uneasy, Brother Shaoyun, I'm sorry, you are indeed the most suitable person!

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to Brother Shaoyun, and I'll play it as soon as I turn around and explain this matter to the emperor." Xu Jin stood up and gave Huang Dacan a solemn look.

Huang Dacan hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, nervous but excited, soon he was going to do a big thing, and his name would also reach the sky. As the so-called acquisition of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor, who doesn't want to learn all their lives can be appreciated by the Son of Heaven, now the opportunity has come!

The two sat down again, and began to discuss the details of the envoy to the Yarkand Khanate, and before they knew it, they had been chatting for half an hour, and the veiled Ye Na came over again and refilled the two of them with a new glass.

"Thank you!" Huang Dacan subconsciously said, his eyes touched Ye Na's blue eyes, and he immediately lowered his head like an electric shock.

Ye Na chuckled and swayed away.

Xu Jin glanced at Huang Dacan, who had an embarrassed expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Shaoyun has ever married?" ”
