Li Shuang'an said nothing and waited quietly for the rest of the discussion about Dong Zan.

"First of all, if I remember correctly, some traveling merchants said that the imperial court issued an imperial edict, and Qin Mo's hard work and meritorious service allowed Qin Mo to take the Qin family to explore overseas and establish a state.

How long has it been since the imperial edict was issued to the time when the Supreme Emperor wrote a letter asking you to go to the Western Regions?

Less than a year!

Wandering on the sea, it can range from a few months to a year and a half. Maybe Qin Mo is still wandering on the sea.

But if Qin Mo is wandering on the sea, then the Supreme Emperor will not let you lead 100,000 troops to the Western Regions.

So I personally feel that Qin Mo may have left Daqian long ago.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor didn’t know about it before leaving Daqian!”

"Brother-in-law, why did he leave Daqian without authorization?" Li Shuangan frowned.

"Does this need to be said?" Da Lun Dongzan shook his head, "His achievements are beyond compare!"

"But my brother-in-law has no objections to Da Gan!"

"Yes, Qin Mo may have no objection to Da Gan, but he is a cloud above Da Gan's head. The Supreme Emperor has always been in poor health. To put it bluntly, the current situation is that the leader is weak and the minister is strong.

Moreover, this minister was so strong that after the Supreme Emperor left, no one could restrain him.

Qin Mo's influence on the Daqian court, the people, and the military was unparalleled.

I once thought that Qin Mo actually has many opportunities to become that god.

But Qin Mo is really an amazing hero, and the Dagan people still have a low opinion of him..."

This former enemy who killed his son, at this moment, he was so generous with his praise, "Qin Mo is so smart. He must have felt something before he left with his whole family. Otherwise, with his detachment, Status, don’t be too good if you have done great work in college!”

"You mean, uncle, he directed this drama?"

"It's hard to say, in short, Qin Mo left the capital for just those few reasons, and I can conclude that Qin Mo did not have such thoughts.

Otherwise, the Supreme Emperor may not be able to defeat Qin Mo. I can only say that he did a bad job in this matter."

"Then shall I still go to the Western Region?"

"Of course I have to go." Da Lundong praised: "Go and find out what happened."

Li Shuang'an nodded. His uncle's letter said that Qin Mo founded a country called the Ming Dynasty and had become a powerful enemy of Da Qian.

It is said that Qin Mo has been rebellious for a long time.

He felt something was wrong. If so, Qin Mo would have many opportunities to severely damage Da Gan.

Why should it be so?

Logically it doesn't work.

But I didn’t even show it to Dongzan.

"I've been dispatching troops and generals these days, so I'll leave it to you to make peace with my decision!" Li Shuang'an said.

"This is what I should do." Da Lun Dongzan smiled.

Within a few days, Li Shuangan mobilized his troops and led an army of 100,000 people towards the big stone.

In recent years, the road to Dashi Yuezhi has been repaired.

However, these two countries suffered heavy losses in the early years and have never recovered.

Especially those cities that have been affected by the disease are even more empty, and they are still ghost towns until now.

From time to time, scary and strange stories come out.

A month and a half later, Li Shuangan and Yuchi Badao arrived at the border of Dashi.

Half of the stone belongs to Dagan and half to Dashi. It was originally meant to appease the people of the country.

And Li Sixun is already waiting here.

"I've met the Governor!" Li Shuang'an said.

"Zanpu is so polite!" Li Sixun didn't dare to express his displeasure and hurriedly went over to greet him. After all, Li Shuangan's Zanpu was of a higher level than him.

Although Nanfan is now peacefully entering Qian, Nanfan's strategic position is still on the front line.

It is the most important springboard into the Western Regions.

And Li Shuang'an's lineage will be Zanpu of Nanfan for generations to come.

"How is the situation now?" Li Shuang'an asked after the two chatted for a while.

"Da Qian is currently stationed to the north of Dashi, while Daming's navy is stationed to the south of Dashi, with a bay separating the two sides.

They set up a base in Nanguo, the southernmost part of Dashi. The navy stationed 50,000 people and had huge ships made of steel, with no less than 400 ships.

The intelligence obtained is also not optimistic. One-third of the opponent's ships are steamships, with deeper drafts, faster speeds than ours, and strong defensive and offensive capabilities.

Their weapons are no worse than ours, and even... better than what we use."

The Navy is the richest team in Daqian. An ordinary gang leader in the Navy has a salary of fifty taels a year.

Eat well, wear well, use well, and everyone will be extremely rich.

"So many people?" Li Shuangan couldn't stand it when he heard 50,000 people!

"Yes, in fact, these people were sent by the Ming Dynasty." Li Sixun said in a deep voice: "Do the Qin Shang know? The Qin Shang, led by Zheng Fengnian, are the leading imperial merchants of the Ming Dynasty. They have traveled all over the world all year round and have no less than 80,000 people under their command. people.

The entire Nanyang was almost emptied out by Zheng Fengnian. Only ten of the local people were left, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left. Nanyang almost became an empty shell.

The slave business here in the Western Region is even more prosperous..."

As Li Sixun told him, Li Shuangan gradually understood the situation here.

The Ming Dynasty's navy had 50,000 available personnel. If Zheng Fengnian's fleet was included, the available personnel would exceed 100,000.

Everyone on the other side was armed with guns, and their ships were strong and their cannons powerful. Coupled with Qin Mo's reputation, he easily opened up the situation in the Western Regions.

Those small countries followed Zheng Fengnian's lead. Even the current leader of Dashi was supported by Zheng Fengnian.

They dug for fierce fire oil in Dashi Bay. Strings of refined hot fire oil were put into huge iron barrels and transported back to the Ming Dynasty by sea ships.

A small part of it is sold locally. The process of refining fierce fire oil in Daming is much better than that in Daqian.

Therefore, it is particularly popular in the countries in the Western Regions.

Daqian regarded Menghuo Oil as a kind of war storage. They all knew that the refined Menghuo Oil could be used to make bombs.

But it doesn’t take that much.

But the people of Ming Dynasty regarded this oil as a treasure.

"The price they paid to dig up the fierce oil was extremely low, and the land was leased for hundreds of years. When we think about it, it's very difficult..." Li Sixun said.

"Who is leading the troops on the other side?"

"He is a descendant of the Qin tribe, his name is Qin Tian. He is very tough and is not friendly to us. After contacting us, he threatened to use the bay as a boundary to develop independently and not interfere with the river." Li Sixun said.

"How about crossing the bay?"

"It's okay to play, but if you want to camp there, they will regard it as a provocation.

However, Qin Tian proposed that we can jointly build a market in the small castle at the top of the bay to carry out trade between the two countries and develop peacefully!" At this point, Li Sixun sighed helplessly, "There are not many people on the other side, but if we fight, , it’s up to you whether you win or lose!”
