Yun Xi turned around and asked Cao Xingdao again: "The soldiers of the left and right guards of the government army have lost a lot of soldiers, I remember a total of twelve horseback infantry and thousands of households, and in the end only a few hundred people survived, in addition to his family, there are several other families who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”

"Your Majesty, there is also a family of two brothers who died in battle, my father died in battle ten years ago; Two other uncles and nephews were killed in battle. Cao Xing replied.

"These three families will also be rewarded more generously, as for the others," Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu Huizu: "These three families have been promoted to the next level. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Huizu immediately agreed.

After agreeing on the matter, Yun Xi said a few more words to the crowd, got up and left the table, and went to another place.

Seeing that His Majesty was gone, Xu Huizu sighed lightly and said to Song Sheng: "Brother Song, why do you have to do this, Your Majesty rewarded him like that, it must have been thought about and would be beneficial to Daming." ”

"It's good for the Ming Dynasty, but it's not necessarily good for the people!" Song Sheng said. He and Xu Huizu had actually guessed Yun Xi's purpose slightly.

"Hey!" Xu Huizu sighed and didn't say anything more. Since Song Sheng guessed Yun Xi's purpose but still spoke like this, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

"Since Your Majesty insists on giving such an order, no one who is a minister can disobey His Majesty's will. But in the Qin Domain, the people under my jurisdiction will never allow such a thing to happen. If I can still be the prime minister of the Qin Domain in the future. Song Sheng finally said.

Of course, Yun Xi didn't know about the conversation between Song Sheng and Xu Huizu after he left the table, and he had already put down the matter of increasing the reward for several people in the family who sacrificed their lives for the country, and began to think about the things in front of him.

"The king of the outer fan, Sha Michagan, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

"Obey King Mahamu, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

"Kim Han-sung/Lee Myung-fang, the minister of the foreign fan,......"

"Nobushige Hino, the minister of the outer fan,......"

The four of them saluted Yun Xi together.

"Excuse me." Yun Xi said as he looked at them carefully.

"Mahamu, you have made a lot of meritorious contributions in this battle, if it weren't for you, I would have let the soldiers of Samarkand run away, and I would have rewarded you heavily!" After they got up, Yun Xi first said to Maham.

"The minister was crowned as a respectful king by His Majesty four years ago, and he is grateful to His Majesty, and everything he does is his duty, and he doesn't dare to be so praised by His Majesty." Mahamu replied.

"I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for mistakes, since you have merit, I will definitely reward you." Yun Xi smiled and said, "Are you still satisfied with the reward I gave you?" ”

"Your Majesty rewards, and the ministers are naturally satisfied. It's just that," Mahamu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the land north of Lake Balkhash and west of the Irtysh River was also my pasture in the pasture, but it was taken away by Timur. Now that he has been defeated and killed, he wants to reclaim the pasture. ”

"Your Majesty's bounties are good, and the minister is very satisfied, but after all, many of them are of little use in reclaiming the pastures. The minister asked His Majesty to give the minister some more armor and weapons. ”

"Since Timur has been defeated and died, and your soldiers in Warat are not weak, could it be that you can't recapture the pasture without armor and weapons?" Yun Xi asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, although Timur's soldiers were defeated and died, and his country's soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, Samarkand is not a country like the Ming Dynasty, and the local tribes are still not weak, if there is no armor and weapons, Warat may not be able to win." Maham explained.

Yun Xi asked a few more words, lowered his head and pondered. Mahamu was secretly happy in his heart. Although he always wanted Yun Xi to reward him with many weapons, he also knew that Da Ming had always been very wary of 'barbarians' like him, and he was easily unwilling to reward weapons and armor, so although he made this request, he didn't have much hope;

I hope the emperor can reward more, even if it is in exchange for horses. Mahamu thought.

But then Yun Xi said something that surprised Ma Hamu very much. "In this case, I am going to send troops to attack the land east of Lake Balkhash, so I will attack the north of Lake Balkhash by the way, and recapture that pasture for you."

"Your Majesty, if the minister recaptures the pasture, why bother the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court?" After a while, Mahamu refused.

When he heard Yun Xi's words, his first reaction was surprise: "Your Majesty is willing to send troops to help me retake the pasture, which is really a great thing." But then he thought to himself, 'Why is Your Majesty willing to send troops to help me retake the pasture?' ’

Nothing to be courteous or a thief, although Mahamu has not heard of this sentence, he also understands this truth. Da Ming has never been so self-sacrificing since its establishment, although he can't figure out what Yun Xi's purpose is now, but he still refuses immediately.

"Hey, I just said that I was sending troops to seize the land east of Lake Balkhash, and by the way, I will help you recapture the pasture, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Besides, I don't have no other purpose." Yun Xi continued: "Although the Ming Dynasty captured a lot of horses in this battle, there is still a shortage of horses in the country, so I will let you sacrifice the horses." ”

"If the court needs horses, the ministers are willing to sacrifice them. However, the recapture of the land north of Lake Balkhash still did not require the imperial court to send troops. Mahamu continued to refuse. Although Yoon-hee gave a reason, Mahamu still felt uneasy.

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore." Yun Xi said categorically.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." In the end, Mahamu could only agree.

"Sha Michagan, I said that I am going to send troops to the west to seize the land of the Seven Rivers east of Lake Balkhash, and you will also send troops to participate." Yun Xi turned his head and said to Sha Mi Chagan again.

For him, Yun Xi did not have a good attitude towards Mahamu. Although Mahamu did not participate in the war until the victory of the Ming Dynasty was decided, it was clear that it was the icing on the cake, but at least it was the flower; And Sha Mi Chagan in the Ming Dynasty expected him to drag Timur for a few more days when the whole tribe fled, and later when Yiwu defended the city, he also stayed away from the city almost to no effect, and the final decisive battle was from beginning to end to play soy sauce, the contribution of a huge country is not worth the food they eat, Yun Xi can have a good face for him.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shami Chagan could only agree, and did not dare to mention his claim to territorial sovereignty over the Land of Seven Rivers.

Yun Xi nodded, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard someone say, "Your Majesty, the minister asks Your Majesty for war." ”

"You're asking me for war?" Yun Xi turned his head and looked at Li Mingfang, who had just spoken, suspiciously: "You mean, continue to march west with the army to seize the land of Seven Rivers?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Mingfang said: "Before the ministers left, our monarch taught the ministers: 'Although you are the soldiers of Korea, but Korea is also the country of the Ming Dynasty, and Lone is also the courtier of the Ming Emperor, so you are also the courtiers of the Ming Emperor and the soldiers of the Ming court, so you must fight bravely. It was a minister who asked His Majesty for war and set out to conquer the land of the Seven Rivers. ”

"Moreover, the minister also has his own selfish intentions." Li Mingfang showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and then said: "My Korean country is small and poor, although the king tries his best to treat the soldiers better, but the rewards are still not as good as the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Because of the words of our monarch before leaving and the rich rewards of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers under the subordinates are also willing to continue the westward expedition and contribute to the Ming Dynasty."

Yoon-hee didn't speak for a while, searching his mind for memories of North Korea, but found nothing useful. He was sure that the reason why Li Mingfang was willing to go west would definitely not be so simple, but he couldn't be sure what it was.

In any case, it is good for the Ming Dynasty. Yun Xi thought about it repeatedly and felt that it would not be harmful to Da Ming, so he finally spoke: "Since you are willing to work for Da Ming, how can I refuse?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Mingfang bowed, his face showing a relaxed look.
