Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 311 Honest and Dishonest

It was very quiet, so quiet that everyone was surprised.

But it was in such silence that Zhu Zhanhe arrived at the Hami Guard among the Seven Guards of Kansai.

As soon as this news spread, some people were happy and some were sad.

Needless to say, there are not many people in the whole capital who are happy for Zhu Zhanhe's safety, only a few, but those who are worried are different.

Wan'an Street.

"Be prepared..." Yang Rong looked solemn.

"That's true..." Yang Pu smiled casually, with a feeling of not caring about life and death.

"Didn't we think of it as early as when we made that decision?"

"Yeah..." Yang Rong was also very emotional.

"But since there is still time, we have to work hard. At least we should try our best to choose as many dishes as possible. It would be better to lose less..."

Everyone looked at each other and made their own decisions.

However, no one noticed that Li Yi, the initiator of this game, had a slightly different meaning in his eyes.

One person and one horse rushed out of Shuntian City quickly and headed towards the east.

……

In fact, the road has become much easier since Wu Zangdusi sent troops. Zhu Zhanhe did not care about the missing son, Ma Heima, because now he belongs to others.

It must be managed, but not now.

When you reach Chalimi, there is a mature trade route. Follow the trade road directly to the dirt road. After passing it, you will reach Hamiwei, the westernmost of the seven guards in Kansai.

Is this where the Hami melon comes from?Zhu Zhanhe didn’t know much either. He only knew that cantaloupe got its name because it was produced in Hami.

"Your Highness, the Handong Guards are in front of us. I will not accompany you as escorts. The commander of the Handong Guards, Chuoerjia, will be in charge next."

In the Ming army, a man who was obviously not a Han man reined in the reins and spoke.

"Previously, I have sent someone to notify Chuo'erjia as quickly as possible. Please rest assured on the road ahead, Your Highness."

"Thank you, King Zhongyi." Zhu Zhanhe was still very grateful for Timur's escort.

In fact, the autonomy of Hamiwei is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Most people only know that in order to check and balance the grassland, the Ming Dynasty enfeoffed the three kings of Wala, but in fact Hamiwei also canonized one king.

Except for the Hami Guard, the other six guards only have commanders and no kings.

It stands to reason that he is on the same level as his father. Although the relationship with his family has been relatively good due to the tea and horse trade since the ninth year of Yongle, relationships are relationships, etiquette is etiquette, and attitude is attitude.

"Next year will be the tea and horse trade. We can't change the price set by the court at will. But at that time, someone will send some local products to King Zhongyi. I hope King Zhongyi won't dislike it."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? The tea-horse trade is established by the imperial court and is also an important channel for our Hami Guard to obtain tea. This is a normal thing."

Tamerlane's face showed joy, but he was still very restrained.

"The time is not right at the moment, so I will not return the gift to His Highness. Firstly, it is not a good time to send it at this time, which will be a burden to Your Highness. Secondly, it will inevitably make people think too much."

"Let's wait for a while. When His Highness the Crown Prince returns to Xiangzhou Mansion safely, I can send someone to return the gift to His Highness, or wait for the tea-horse trade."

"It's just that the Seven Guards of Kansai is located in the Western Region, and there is nothing good about it. There has been a tea-horse trade over the years, and some of your highnesses here have seen and used it. I hope your highness will not dislike it when the time comes."

"King Zhongyi is welcome." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and was about to say something, but was interrupted by some voices.

Zhu Zhanhe and Benli Timur turned their heads to the east at the same time. The stirring sand and dust showed that someone was coming over there.

"Chuo'erjia, the commander of Handong Guard, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince of Wu, and pays homage to King Zhongyi!"

"No courtesy." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, signaling Chuo'erjia to stand up.

"King Zhongyi, since Commander Chuoerjia has arrived, I won't drag you with you. Have a safe trip."

"Your Highness, have a good journey." Free Timur clasped his fists, he did not look like a Mongolian man at all, but looked like a Han man.

Pulling the reins, the horse neighed, and Tamerlane turned the horse's head without any force. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and give a few instructions.

"Commander Chuo'erjia, His Highness the Crown Prince has been attacked by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in Chali. Someone may want to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. You must be alert on the road ahead and never let His Highness the Crown Prince have any chance of harming you." Half a minute missed!"

"Don't worry, King Zhongyi!" Chuo'erjia stood up and waved to Tamerlane.

Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows.

In fact, the Seven Guards of Kansai in history were basically not good people. In the later period, they were directly separated from the control of the Ming Dynasty and merged into the Tulufan Khanate that destroyed the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

The Chuoerjia in front of me is one of the representatives.

Of course, this is not to say that Chuoerjia was a representative of the people who surrendered to the Khanate, because he did not live to that time, but that Chuoerjia had the character of such a person.

Now, no matter which of the Seven Guards in Kansai, they have a very good relationship with the King of Wu's lineage, and they are even more obedient to the King of Wu's lineage than they are to the imperial court, but that is all subject to preconditions.

King Zhongyi of the Hami Guard is one of the few good men among the Seven Guards of Guanxi. He is very obedient to the court. However, most of the tea and horse trading of the Seven Guards of Kansai is related to the King of Wu, and Zhu Zhanhe is very wealthy. Lord, we will provide them with additional food every year.

Although it is not much, for the Hami Guard, which is directly bordering the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, this is already a timely help.

Qu Xianwei and Atuanwei were intimidated by force because they relied on Uzangdusi. If they dared to rebel, Uzangdusi, who had a good relationship with King Wu, would definitely be the first to send troops.

As for the Anding Guard and Handong Guard, Chuo'erjia is the main force and interests come first. Although their relationship with King Wu's lineage is good now, when King Wu's lineage declines, they will be the first to betray them.

The remaining Shazhou Guards and Chijin Mongolian Guards are always indistinct from Wala because they are close to Wala.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe had always used interests to win over the Seven Guards of Guanxi, but he never believed in them.

The only one worthy of deep trust is King Zhongyi, but he is the same person as Jin Zhong, the former Minister of War, who is committed to the stability of the court. In addition, the Hami Guard is too close to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Oara, which leads to Zhu Zhan He didn't dare to believe it even if he thought about it.

"Your Highness, you have been working hard, do you want to take a rest?"

Seeing Mili Timur leading people away, Chuoerjia turned to look at Zhu Zhanhe.

"No need, the Seven Guards of Kansai is not a stable place. If the Eastern Chagatai Khanate persists in its evil intentions, the Seven Guards of Kansai will be implicated, so we should hurry on our way first."

"Yes!" Although Chuo'erjia's attitude was respectful, his face was full of embarrassment.

There is something behind Zhu Zhanhe's words. Others may not be able to hear it, but he can.

What are the Seven Kansai Guards like? Doesn’t he, the commander of the Handong Guards, know?
Zhu Zhanhe was clearly warning him.
