It is said that Babur traveled to Daming as a merchant and met Xu Jin and Wang Cuiqiao outside the Hanshan Temple in Hangzhou.

Hasmu glanced at Babur and said curiously, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince knows this person?" ”

Babur nodded with a complicated expression: "This prince traveled to the Ming Kingdom a few years ago, and heard the name of this person in the local area, he is indeed a powerful person, he has eliminated all the pirates who have been harming the coastal areas of the Ming Kingdom for a hundred years, and even the Westerners are invincible, I didn't expect this person to be not only good at naval warfare, but also in field warfare." ”

"Oh, how old does this man look like?" Hasmu was obviously interested, and immediately asked.

Babur's expression became more complicated, and he said lightly: "This person is very young, he is estimated to be in his early twenties at the time, and he looks ...... It's nothing special, like most Ming scholars, it's just fair-skinned, a little more gentle, and looks very weak, like him, this prince can beat ten people alone. ”

Hasmu's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince must have seen this person with his own eyes." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Babur again, and suddenly smiled: "There is a look of indignation under His Royal Highness the Prince, could it be that this Xu Jin and the king know each other?" Or are the two just getting along? ”

Babur's face suddenly sank, and Hasmu laughed when he saw this: "It seems that the old man guessed correctly, no wonder the king is in a hurry to return to China, and the rivals of His Royal Highness the prince are not simple." ”

Babur's face suddenly became even more ugly, this old fox can't open the pot, this is a deliberate separation.

Hasmu smiled, lifted the wine jug and filled a glass of wine to Babur, and comforted: "His Royal Highness the prince doesn't have to worry, it is said that this Xu Jin has been recalled by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom to the national capital, and now the Ming army in Dunhuang has a new commander, named Yu Dayou, but he is also a powerful person, and he defeated the 70,000 troops under the command of Man Suer in the first battle, and beheaded the general Yalan, hey, Man Suer Khan is now restless." ”

Babur's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "How did Lord Zaisan know that Mansu'er Khan was restless?" ”

Hasmu smiled mysteriously and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince really wants to know? ”

Babur's heart sank, and he smiled: "This prince is just curious for a moment, and if Lord Zaisang is inconvenient, he doesn't need to tell him." ”

Hasmu said with a calm expression: "In fact, it is not a great secret, recently the Zaisang Abla of Turpan sent people to find the old man, hinting that Mansuer Khan is willing to pay tribute to the Great Khan of Sayid, hoping that the Great Khan can abandon his previous suspicions and send troops to help Turbo fight against the Ming Kingdom." ”

I see! Babur couldn't help but be surprised, Man Su'er was willing to pay tribute to Sayid, it seemed that he was really about to be unable to resist, and he asked quietly: "What does Sayid Khan mean?" ”

Hasmu said lightly: "The old fox Abla only sent someone to listen to the tone first, and did not officially send an envoy. ”

Babur probed, "What do you mean?" ”

Hasmu sneered: "Needless to say, the ambition of the wolf son of the Ming people is naturally to unite with Turbo to resist the Ming, but it is a pity that the Great Khan was instigated by Rashid Taiji and wanted to make friends with the Ming State, which is simply confused." ”

Babur's eyes flashed, although Persia and the Ming State did not border, but once the Ming State extended its power to Yarkand, the influence would definitely be refracted to the Hezhong region, and there was another Genghis Khan-like figure in Baobuqi, as the future king of Persia, he naturally did not want to see a new Yuan Dynasty or Tang Dynasty born.

So the best result is that Yarkand and Turpan join forces to block the tentacles of the Ming Kingdom back into Jiayu Pass.

In addition, if the Yarkand Khanate is friendly with the Ming State, coupled with Xu Jin's power in the Ming State, I am afraid that he will not be able to move Wang Cuiqiao, so he must destroy the friendship between the two countries, and the most direct and effective way is naturally to attack and kill the envoy of the Ming State.

Babur and Hasmu looked at each other, and they immediately understood each other!

Hasmu said to himself: "The Ming delegation is now in Khotan, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Yecheng within five days, but there are often horse thieves and bandits along the way, I hope they can be safe." ”

Babur smiled: "It's hard to say, there is an ancient saying in the Ming Kingdom, there are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." The world is unpredictable! ”

Hasmu raised his glass and laughed: "May Allah bless them." ”

"But the people of the Ming Kingdom do not believe in Allah." Babur Road.

Hasmu shrugged: "Then there is no way. ”

The two talked in secret for half an hour, and then Babur left Zaisang's house, and as soon as he returned to the inn, he called Us, and gave him such and such instructions, so that the next morning Uss left the inn and rode out of the city alone.

…………

It is estimated that the vast majority of people do not know the place name of Khotan, but when it comes to the word "Hetian", I believe everyone knows it, and the first time they think of Hetian jade. That's right, Khotan is Xinjiang Hotan, in ancient times there was a small country called Khotan, which was rich in jade, and Hetian jade was very famous.

Let's say that in the middle of August of the sixth year of Jiajing, Huang Dacan, as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, led a caravan of hundreds of people from Yangguan with the letter of state, and traveled all the way to the open for nearly two months, and finally arrived in Khotan.

The reason why it walked so slowly was mainly because the caravan carried a large amount of goods, and most of the deserts along the way, so it walked even slower, and every time it passed through a town, the caravan would stop for a few days to do business, and in this way, it was almost two months, and now it was the middle of October, and it still had not reached Shache, the capital of the Yarkand Khanate.

Khotan was a relatively prosperous city, and after the embassy entered the city, the merchants did not need Huang Dacan's arrangement, and immediately started to do business with the locals, selling goods from the country and buying a large amount of jade from the locals.

Hetian is the origin of jade, the price of all kinds of jade is quite cheap, the purchase of some quality back to the Ming Dynasty, a change of hands is several times the profit, if you meet one or two unscrupulous people, dozens of hundreds of times the profit is also there.

It is said that the mission stayed in Hotan for three days, and then set off again on October 15, heading for Pishan County, after which is Yecheng, and after Yecheng is the final destination, Shache.

From Hotan County to Pishan County about 300 miles, Huang Dacan estimated that it would take about three days to arrive, and when he arrived at Shache, he was afraid that it was already the winter moon, and if it was snowing, I was afraid that it would be even later.

On this day, the caravan passed through a treacherous place, surrounded by strange wind-eroded sand dunes......
