Chapter 58: Western Regions, Qule Kingdom

Xiong Dabao asked Liu Mingqi if he would be scolded again when he walked to the Western Regions disobediently.

Then Liu Mingqi told them all the above ideas in detail.

Some things are called "it is hard to violate public opinion."

The same is true for the official intention.

If everyone wants to do this, even if it is wrong, they will do it.

Of course, Liu Mingqi has to find allies for herself.

Liu Mingjing, Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin were just the first batch.

After they go back, they can help themselves influence more people.

Xiong Wenqing's father is Xiong Wenqing, the governor of Gyeonggi. He will be able to enter the cabinet directly in two or three years. Of course, his opinions are very important.

Zhang Qin's father Zhang Tie did not have his name in the reward before, but after the Chinese New Year, Zhu Xingjun, the general of the Cavalry Guard, retired, and he took over the position of General of the Cavalry Guard and officially became one of the nine generals of the Imperial Guard.

Such a person has the experience of fighting hard in the Northeast, and of course he is very influential in the army.

In other words, this guy Liu Mingjing is a little weaker. Like Liu Mingqi, he is a coolie and has no power.

But together with Liu Mingjing, these people are smart people. After Liu Mingqi analyzed the pros and cons for them, their minds completely turned to Liu Mingqi's side.

"Mingqi, your idea is quite mature and conspiring to the country, and it is really the choice of the prime minister!" Xiong Dabao exclaimed: "If Dakang develops according to your kindness, and does it steadily, thirty or fifty years later, what we leave for Dakang's descendants will definitely be a beautiful country!"

"At that time, we would take a boat together and go stroll around to see the outside world!" Liu Mingjing still remembered what Liu Mingqi said, "I also want to go and see what that fat Kushan looks like!"

Liu Mingqi originally wanted to say that by then, Kushan might be my great health.

But I thought that Liu Mingjing would never be able to lead troops to fight again, so it would be better not to stimulate him.

"But Your Highness, the twelve countries in the Western Regions are really too weak." Zhang Qin said from the side: "It is better to say that they are the twelve cities than to say that they are the twelve countries. Besides, there are very close to the Western Qiang here. There are many Uighur countries. Even if there are a few unruly people, they will only choose to endure and dare not resist openly."

"Look, let's talk about it!" Liu Mingqi pondered, "Now the Western Qiang is so poor that it wants to plunder the poor people like Qiyan, so their lives will definitely be difficult. Especially the Uighurs, their strength is not as good as the Western Qiang. There is no way to fight the Qiyan Plateau, so maybe they can only bully the twelve countries in the Western Regions.

As long as they bully them fiercely, there will always be those twelve countries in the Western Regions who are very dissatisfied with them! At that time, as long as we give them some support, they will naturally resist."

"How to resist?" Liu Mingjing asked curiously: "Some countries have only one city, but the most are only three cities. With such strength, it is hard to say that 10,000 Uighurs are, and 30,000 people will definitely destroy them!"

"What if we give them wooden grenades and hell cocktails?" Liu Mingqi asked.

"oh?"

The three were shocked.

"What are you doing for them?" Xiong Dabao quickly expressed his objection: "If you give less, you don't have enough. If you give more, if you give more, you will give more. If you give more, then will you hand me the knife out and ask for trouble?"

"This is a good consideration." Liu Mingqi said first: "So you still have to look at the right time and make all the aftermath preparations."

"Well, if it's not very reliable, don't give it to them." Xiong Dabao reminded: "Even if you give them other support!"

"Don't worry, I'm responsible."

Liu Mingqi understands this very well.

No one understands the word "raising a tiger for trouble" better than the Chinese descendants who have experienced painful lessons in another time and space.

To raise a dog, you must have a dog leash and make sure it can be pulled back after it runs out, so that it can do it according to your own wishes.

...

It is actually not far from Tubo to the Western Regions.

However, the area of ​​Tubo itself is too large, so it took Liu Mingqi and the others ten days to walk on the Tubo Plateau.

This is based on their lack of logistical drag and they are traveling at least 200 miles a day.

Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is scattered everywhere.

This just gave Liu Mingqi and the others the opportunity to replenish their own food and rest.

Whenever a slightly larger village or settlement is found, Liu Mingqi and the others will stop and rest.

I bought the beef and mutton from the herdsmen and asked them to help me take care of it. In addition to eating and drinking, I also smoked and roasted some of it with me, which can be eaten for two or three days.

It was just a little money, but they basically didn't eat dry food along the way.

Sometimes I have good luck and can buy some wine.

They were happy, and these herders were equally happy.

The men in Dakang gave a lot of money, usually they sold at the market at twice and triple prices. After eating and drinking for thousands of people, they earned enough money for a year.

As for saying they are Dakang people?

Then what does it matter?

They wish Liu Mingqi could rest for a few more days, earn more money, and then go to the market to buy more good things.

So when Liu Mingqi and his friends came to the southern corner of Kunlun Mountain and were about to cross Kunlun Mountain to the Western Regions, the strong men from more than a dozen nearby villages asked to lead the way for Liu Mingqi and the others.

One trip will cost ten taels of silver, and it will cost at most ten days. Where do so many good things come from on weekdays?

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Mingqi and the others had a large number of people, many young men would be ready to ride horses and bows and arrows to serve as Liu Mingqi's guards.

Even so, Liu Mingqi and the others were "forced" to recruit more than 300 carefully selected strong men, and they led the way through Kunlun Mountains.

Anyone who has studied geography knows that the two areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are the Kunlun Mountains.

To the north of Kunlun Mountain is the boundary of the Western Regions, and to the south of Kunlun Mountain is Tubo.

The terrain is a descending from south to north, so the Tubo boundary south of the Kunlun Mountains has a very high terrain, a relatively harsh climate, and living conditions are far inferior to those of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions have Kunlun Mountains that block the cold storm and snow, and are irrigated and nurtured by the wide mother river Tarim River. Desertification is not as serious as it has since been. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a paradise.

So so many countries have accumulated here.

In the ancient times of another world, there were thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but now there are only twelve countries.

Obviously, it has annexed some.

Because of frequent exchanges between the two places, these Tubo people told Liu Mingqi that the nearest country was called Quleguo from the Kunlun Mountain area where Liu Mingqi and his friends lived.
