On October 24, the sixth year of Jiajing, Huang Dacan and his entourage finally arrived at Shache, the capital of the Yarkand Khanate, five or six days earlier than expected. It turned out that after the caravan was attacked by "horse bandits" in Pishan County that day, in order to avoid another accident, Huang Dacan decided to speed up his march, and only stayed for one night after entering Pishan County, and continued to rush the next day.

At the same time, the magistrate of Pishan County also urgently reported the attack on the Ming delegation to Shache, and the Great Khan Sayid was shocked and angry when he learned of it, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and sent Taiji Rashid to Pishan County to meet the Ming delegation.

Therefore, before Huang Dacan and his entourage arrived in Yecheng, they met Taiji Rashid, who led 5,000 cavalry to meet them, and then returned directly to Shache, and did not stop in Yecheng, so they arrived five or six days earlier than expected.

It is said that after the caravan entered the city, its own local officials were responsible for settling down, and Huang Dacan was personally received by Rashid Taiji and stayed in the state guesthouse, and Guo Jindiao and other soldiers also lived in the courtyard and protected nearby, but all the weapons had been handed over and could not be returned until they left Yarkand.

At this moment, in the living room of the State Guesthouse, Huang Dacan and Rashid Taiji are sitting opposite each other, and there is a honeycomb coal stove next to it, which is burning with honeycomb coal, and a pot of hot water on the stove has been boiled.

The Persian beauty Ye Na was making tea beautifully, but Rashid Taiji didn't seem to be interested in the charming Ye Na, but was particularly interested in the honeycomb coal stove, looked at it carefully and smiled: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Ben Taiji has admired Han culture since he was a child, and he thinks he can be regarded as half of the Ming Dynasty, but this kind of stove and coal is the first time I've seen it." ”

Ye Na sneered and said, "I'm afraid His Royal Highness Taiji hasn't been to Daming in person, right?" This kind of honeycomb coal has been prevalent in Daming for many years. ”

"Haha, huh? That's the lonely and unheard of. Rashid laughed at himself, in fact, he had been to the Ming Dynasty, but it was only in Tibet, where the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and it was still the Tusi autonomy system, coupled with the poor geographical and climatic environment, so it was very backward, so many years, honeycomb coal had not been introduced into the snow area.

Rashid's Ming Chinese is well spoken, and his personality gives people a frank and hearty feeling, so the honest man Huang Dacan has a good impression of this Taiji of the Yeqiang Khanate, and said with a smile: "The honeycomb coal stove is just a small object used by the people of the country, and it is not surprising that His Royal Highness Taiji does not know it, but this is indeed a good thing, compared to ordinary charcoal stoves, the advantage of honeycomb coal is smokeless, and it is economical and durable, a piece of coal can be burned for a long time, as long as the fire is left, new coal can be used at any time, there is no need to make a fire again, It is especially convenient and easy to use in winter, which can not only be used for heating, but also hot water for backup at any time. ”

Rashid nodded and said, "It's wonderful!" ”

Huang Dacan said generously: "If His Royal Highness Taiji likes it, he will send you two when he goes back, and it just so happens that someone in the caravan has brought this kind of thing." ”

Rashid said happily: "I don't dare to ask for it, Bentaiji is preparing to get one for my father Khan." ”

Huang Dacan couldn't help but be secretly funny, this is a filial person, but obviously the level has not yet reached that realm, but he likes to chew words and quote indiscriminately!

"His Royal Highness Taiji learned that it is not enough to have a coal stove alone, you have to have honeycomb coal." Ye Na said with a smile.

Rashid disagreed: "This kind of briquettes with holes, craftsmen can make them at a glance, but they are just molds, what's so difficult." ”

Huang Dacan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness Taiji, don't look at this honeycomb coal, it seems simple, but it is not easy to get it out, the ratio of pulverized coal and adhesive materials is fixed, more or less will not work, either it can't be formed, or it is difficult to burn if it is formed, or the smoke is too heavy when burning." ”

"Oh? It turns out that there is a mystery in it? Rashid was surprised.

"But no, it is said that this kind of honeycomb coal was invented by the Yasukuni Gong of our country, and now it has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, but there are very few people who know it." Huang Dacan said.

This time, even Ye Na showed a look of surprise, she didn't expect this thing to be invented by that person, but it was strange.

Rashid's face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "This Yasukuni Duke is the famous Ming God of War Xu Jin?" ”

Huang Dacan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Daming God of War? Hehe, Brother Ziqian's southern expedition to the north has not tasted defeat so far, and he really deserves the name of the god of war. ”

Rashid's heart moved: "Could it be that your envoy is familiar with the Yasukuni Prince?" ”

Huang Dacan smiled: "We are classmates and friends, and we are also Jinshi in the same year, and our friendship is really good. ”

Huang Dacan didn't know at this time that Xu Jin had been crowned the king of Beijing, so he still called the prince of the country.

"It turns out that the noble envoy is actually a close friend of the Yasukuni Prince, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful!" Rashid was in awe, and couldn't help but value Huang Dacan twice, after all, Xu Jin was a pivotal figure in the Ming Kingdom.

Huang Dacan couldn't help but secretly sigh, the name of the shadow of the tree, the fame of Brother Ziqian, is so great that it is so intimidating that even his classmates can get a touch of light in a foreign country, and said with a smile: "This honeycomb coal practice, the envoy knows a thing or two, if His Royal Highness Taiji is interested, the envoy will write it down and hand it over to His Highness, which can be regarded as a small expression of the sincerity of the friendship between the two countries." ”

Rashid was overjoyed when he heard this, and stroked his chest and said: "The generosity of your envoy is heartbreaking, and Bentaiji has thanked your envoy on behalf of the people of his country." ”

The practice of honeycomb coal is no secret in Daming now, so it should be a favor, so Huang Dacan asked Ye Na to take a pen and paper, wrote down the honeycomb coal production method on the spot, and then handed it to Rashid.

Rashid was not polite, he accepted it with a thank you, and said solemnly: "Your envoy has been tired all the way, let's rest first, tomorrow Japan Taiji will take you into the palace to see your father Khan, and submit the credentials, in addition, what happened in Pishan County, this Taiji will definitely find out and give your envoy an explanation." ”

Huang Dacan arched his hand: "Then there will be His Royal Highness Lao Taiji." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Rashid took his leave, and Huang Dacan sent him out the door, and then turned around and returned to his residence.

"Miss Yena, what do you think of this Rashid Taiji?" Huang Dacan sat down again in his seat and asked thoughtfully.

Ye Na poured a cup of tea for Huang Dacan, and then skillfully rubbed the latter's thighs, the honest man couldn't help but blush, but he didn't refuse, he got along for more than two months along the way, Huang Shaoyun is not the first time to enjoy the service of this Persian beauty, he refused at first, but gradually accepted it, as the so-called woman chasing the man's compartment yarn, as long as the beauty takes the initiative, it is estimated that not many men can refuse.

Ye Na glanced at Huang Dacan charmingly, and said while massaging: "According to the observation of the slave family, this Rashid Tai is indeed very admiring to the culture of the Ming Kingdom, and he is a pro-Ming faction, and the last attack is estimated to have nothing to do with him. ”

Huang Dacan nodded thoughtfully, his impression of Rashid was also excellent, but he ...... In the Yarkand Khanate, who wants to destroy the friendship between the two countries? Or were those horse thieves sent by Turpan at all?

Ye Na obviously saw Huang Dacan's thoughts, and said with a charming smile: "The slave family seems to have a bottom in their hearts when they listen to Rashid Taiji's tone, and this kind of thing is still clear to their own people, so adults don't have to worry too much, as long as Sayid Khan is determined to make friends with Da Ming, he will definitely find out the people who are behind the scenes." ”

Huang Dacan thought about it, which minister in the DPRK and China opposed making friends with the Ming Dynasty, I believe that Sayid Khan and his son know best, if Sayid and his son are determined to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely clean up the obstructors.

…………

Although the palaces in Yache City are not as good as the imperial cities of the Ming Dynasty, they are also quite magnificent and splendid. It is said that after Rashid Taiji left, he went straight to the palace to meet his father Khan.

But all the founding kings are not the masters of great talent, and Sa'id Khan is naturally no exception, about fifty years old, with a majestic figure, sitting on the throne of the Khan, with blazing eyes, very powerful, and the appearance is five or six points similar to Rashid, at first glance, it is father and son.

"The child has seen Father Khan!" Rashid saluted.

Sayid nodded and said lightly: "I'm back, can I receive an envoy?" ”

"Back to my father Khan, the envoy has settled down in the city, and tomorrow he will enter the palace to meet and present his credentials."

Sayid nodded again and asked in a deep voice, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

Rashid said solemnly: "According to the child, the group of horse thieves who attacked the Ming delegation are not real horse thieves. ”

"Oh? What is the evidence? ”

"According to the description of the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, these people are well-trained, and they also carry a lot of bows and crossbows, which are not something that ordinary horse thieves can have, the key is that the captured horse thieves have poison sacs hidden in their mouths, and they committed suicide by taking poison immediately after being captured, which shows that they are indeed trained dead soldiers."

When Sayed Khan heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy!

Rashid glanced at his father, and couldn't help but whisper: "Father Khan, Zaisan once advised you to join forces with Man Su'er to deal with the Ming Kingdom, will it ......?"

Sayid didn't wait for Rashid to finish speaking, and waved his hand to interrupt: "Ben Khan will naturally find out about this matter, you go down!" ”

Rashid still wanted to speak, but was glared at by Sayid, so he had to shut up, stroked his chest and retreated.

It is said that Zaisang Hasi Mu was the founder of the country, and he followed Sayid to fight the country at the beginning, so he was very favored by Sayid Khan, and after Yeqiang established the country, Sayid not only named him Zaisang, but also allowed him to have military power.

In this way, Hasmudjin can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand, and even Rashid, the crown prince, has been crushed. It wasn't much when Rashid was young, but as Rashid grew up and gradually took over power, the contradictions between the two were inevitable, and it was only a matter of time before they met each other.

And what is strange is that Sa'id Khan only turned a blind eye to the fight between the two, and he didn't know for what purpose, or it was simply difficult to do it in the middle, after all, on one side was a good brother who helped him lay down the country, and on the other side was his own son.
