"Lord, the King of Loyalty and Righteousness asks to see you." Qinglong City, in a quiet courtyard in the camp north of the city, Li Yuntian was frowning in his study and looking at the map of the Western Regions hanging on the wall, when a guard came to pay a respect.

"Please come to the living room." Li Yuntian came back to his senses when he heard this, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded to the guard and said in a deep voice, he had already guessed the intention of Timur who was dehuan.

Among the seven guards in Kansai, Hamiwei has the strongest power and the closest connection with the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely because of this that Hamiwei will be crowned two princes by the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, King Zhongshun is the orthodox prince of Hamiwei, hereditary replacement, and has his own palace in Hami, and King Zhongyi was canonized by the Ming Dynasty in order to assist the young King Zhongshun, and he ended up in the palace of King Zhongshun.

It is precisely because Hamiwei has the strongest power in Kansai that he will rely more on the Ming this time, and only in this way can the interests of Hami nobles such as King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi be ensured.

In terms of origin, King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi are both descendants of the Chagatai Khan royal family, and they are the same brothers as the Monte Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, so they will naturally reject the Timurid Empire, which usurped the rule of the Western Chagatai Khanate, and will not believe that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan will continue to retain the richest Hamiwei in Kansai.

It is worth mentioning that although the Ming Dynasty called the seven guards of Kansai such as Hamiwei and Andingwei "Wei", in the territory of the Western Regions, the seven guards of Kansai are actually the seven kingdoms of Kansai, and the commanders of the seven guards of Kansai are the kings of each country.

Therefore, Hamiwei is also known as Hami in the Western Regions, and Andingwei is also a member of many countries in the Western Regions.

Even the powerful Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions had large and small states, in other words, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was composed of large and small countries, and the reason for this was that the dominant Mongols belonged to a minority group, coupled with the special geography of the Western Regions, which made it impossible for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to rule all regions, and only the rise of local power was acquiesced.

This was the case not only with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but also with the Timurid Empire, which consisted of large and small states, and if the Timurid Empire was unable to control those states, those states would be separated from the Timurid Empire.

Although the Hamiwei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate belonged to the same clan, the relationship between the two sides was not good, and this bad situation was only a microcosm of the relationship between the various countries under the jurisdiction of the Mongol Empire.

To be precise, the grievances between the Hamiwei and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate were mainly territorial disputes between the local forces in the Turpan region of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Hamiwei, and because of the proximity of the two sides, the local forces in the Turpan region were bound to clash with the Hamiwei if they wanted to advance eastward.

Because the military strength of Hamiwei is not as good as the local forces in the Turpan region, Hamiwei needs the support of the Ming Dynasty, and Hamiwei was also annexed by the Turpan State in history, and the Ming Dynasty had no time to take care of Kansai at that time.

"Lord Wang!" When Li Yuntian came to the living room, Timur was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, and when he saw this, he hurriedly got up and greeted him, although both of them were the princes of the Ming Dynasty, but it was obvious that Li Yuntian was more noble.

"King Zhongyi, what are you here for?" Li Yuntian smiled and returned the salute to Timur, and asked quietly after sitting down.

In fact, Li Yuntian had already guessed the intention of Timur, because he had already received information that King Zhongshun was leading tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the way to Qinglong City, which was undoubtedly the safest fortress in Guanxi, enough for them to avoid the impending war.

"Lord, Hamiwei is located in the westernmost part of Kansai, and it is the only place for the armies of Xichagatai and Dayuan to enter Kansai, and Hamiwei is weak and cannot compete with it, so King Zhongshun and this king decided to avoid the enemy's edge after consulting with this king, hoping to enter Qinglong City for a while."

Timur did not go around in circles, but explained his intentions to Li Yuntian with a serious expression, he knew that his scheming words were not Li Yuntian's opponents at all, so it was better to say his demands honestly.

Since Qinglong City is the most important and only city of the Ming Dynasty in Guanxi, Timur's mood is very nervous, given that the Seven Guards of Kansai are only nominally obedient to the Ming Dynasty, so from the perspective of security, Li Yuntian has a full reason to refuse Ha Miwei's people to take refuge in Qinglong City, and God knows whether the Seven Guards of Kansai will become the internal response of the Northern Yuan and Timurid Empires.

If that is the case, then King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi will be in an embarrassing and dangerous situation, and they will have to choose other places to take refuge, which will be a huge blow to the Hami soldiers and civilians who are dragging their children and daughters, because they will have no suitable place to hide in Kansai, and there is no safe place in Kansai except Qinglong City.

Obviously, once Li Yuntian refused the Hami military and civilians to enter Qinglong City, the Ming army in Jiayuguan would definitely not let them in, you must know that Jiayuguan is the western gate of the Ming Dynasty, and no one dares to risk letting Hamiwei's people enter the pass at such a dangerous moment, in case Hamiwei and the attacking Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army should cooperate with each other, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, the reason why King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi came to Qinglong City with Hami's soldiers and civilians this time was because the two believed that Li Yuntian would definitely accept them, because Li Yuntian had been implementing the integration policy in Kansai, which made the connection between Kansai and Daming increasingly close, coupled with Li Yuntian's eloquence, the two thought that Li Yuntian would never abandon the Hami military and civilians, otherwise Li Yuntian would not be the famous Zhongwu King.

Moreover, King Zhongshun and King Zhongyi came to Qinglong City with their families this time, and they were willing to hand over their family members to Li Yuntian as hostages, which had already shown enough sincerity.

"That makes sense!" Under the nervous gaze of Timur, Li Yuntian frowned and thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully, looked at Timur and said, "It is indeed a good idea to avoid the enemy's edge, and this king agrees with your proposal." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Timur was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Yuntian, with Li Yuntian's words, the tens of thousands of Hami soldiers and civilians who came to Qinglong City had a place to stay.

"Adjutant Lin, you can arrange the residence of the military and civilians in Hami at that time." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to order Lin Xin, who was standing aside, he had already made a plan to settle the soldiers and civilians of the Seven Guards in Kansai, but now he was just pushing the boat down the river.

"Obedience." Lin Xin bowed his hand to Li Yuntian in a matter-of-fact manner, and took the order in a coquettish voice.

Although there are generals such as Li Zixi and Lu Minen in Qinglong City, the matter of settling the soldiers and civilians of the Seven Guards in Guanxi is complicated, and many affairs are involved, so if Lin Xin comes forward, it will make things much easier.

Besides, the current task of Lu Minen, Li Zixi and others is to reorganize the army, and where do they have the energy to take care of the resettlement of the soldiers and civilians of the Seven Guards in Kansai.

Recently, Lin Xin has truly experienced Lei Ting's hardships, she is not only responsible for Li Yuntian's diet and daily life, but also has to assist Li Yuntian in handling official business.

However, Lin Xin likes to be busy like this, although she is very tired, she has an extremely fulfilling life, and this feeling of personally participating in the Great War in the Western Regions is really wonderful.

At the same time, Lin Xin is also gradually establishing her position in the Kansai army, after all, only those who have been on the battlefield in person like Lei Ting can be recognized by the soldiers.

"Lord Wang, wouldn't it be too risky to put them in Qinglong City?" After chatting with Li Yuntian for a while, Timur got up to say goodbye, and left briskly, he wanted to inform the king of Zhongshun who came to Qinglong City as soon as possible of the good news, Lin Xin glanced at Timur's back and said worriedly.

As far as Lin Xin knew, since the outbreak of the war in the Western Regions, the connection between the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan and the Seven Guards of Guanxi has been extremely close, and it is really difficult to guarantee that the generals inside will not secretly defect to the enemy, and it will become a major hidden danger in Qinglong City.

The "they" in Lin Xin's mouth does not only refer to Hamiwei, but all the Seven Guards of Kansai, she has been by Li Yuntian's side for so long, and she naturally knows that the people of the Seven Guards of Kansai will definitely enter Qinglong City, because no matter whether the people of the Seven Guards of Kansai choose the Ming Dynasty, the Timurid Empire, or the Northern Yuan, they will all gather in Qinglong City.

If the people of the Kansai Seven Guards chose Daming, then they would definitely want to take refuge in Qinglong City.

If someone chooses the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, then they will be a cavalry in the hands of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan to seize the Qinglong City, and they will definitely be sent to the Qinglong City to do the internal response, and it will be an impossible task to attack the Qinglong City from the outside in the face of the high walls of the city.

Although Li Yuntian had already made a corresponding plan in advance to deal with the very likely rebellion in Qinglong City, in Lin Xin's opinion, the best way was to prevent it from happening and prohibit the people of the Kansai Seven Guards from entering Qinglong City.

In this way, the people of the Kansai Qiwei were either severely damaged in the war or surrendered to the enemy, and Li Yuntian could take the opportunity to bring the Kansai Qiwei into the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence.

In Lin Xin's opinion, the ultimate winner of this battle in the Western Regions must be Li Yuntian, so there is no need for Li Yuntian to risk putting the people of the Seven Guards of Guanxi into Qinglong City.

"Kansai is the Kansai of the Ming Dynasty, they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and this king naturally can't sit idly by and watch the soldiers and civilians of Kansai being slaughtered by the war." Li Yuntian knew Lin Xin's thoughts, so he smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "They can bear the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty must not abandon them, this king wants to let the soldiers and civilians in Guanxi know that they are already a member of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lin Xin suddenly fell silent when she heard this, and her eyes were full of complicated expressions when she looked at Li Yuntian, she knew that Li Yuntian was shouldering a heavy responsibility, not only to defeat the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, but also to establish the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in Guanxi and even the Western Regions.
