After the soldiers learned about the situation of the Seven Guards of Guanxi, they were all in a turmoil. They wanted to defeat the place immediately and go to His Royal Highness to ask for merit.

Although Ye Yun knew that boosting morale was one thing, he had to respect the facts.

Our army is indeed not weak in combat power, but after leaving Jiayuguan, this is a new place after all, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty's rule in this area was not very strong, so if you want to take over this area, you have to understand the actual situation well.

At the first camp outside Jiayuguan, Zheng Sen came to some local merchants.

If you want to understand the situation in the Western Regions, these merchants are definitely the first choice. Although it is quite chaotic outside the pass, for these merchants, chaos also represents interests. As long as we can transport goods, we can gain a lot of benefits, so these merchants will still take risks.

If you do a month's business in the mainland, you can only earn a hundred taels of silver, but if a batch of goods is shipped to the Western Regions, it will be ten times and twenty times the profit.

Of course, there are also dangers in this area, but for those of them, who do not understand the principle of seeking wealth and honor in danger? The same danger means the same gain.

"Fan Enquan has met the general."

In Zheng Sen's tent, a Han man came. His ancestral home was in Henan. However, due to the war in the mainland, he could not live in his hometown. He could only move his whole family to the vicinity of Jiayuguan.

With his adventurous spirit, he has established a foundation in the local area. When Zheng Sen asked him to go out for investigation, the guy's name often appeared.

"Mr. Fan, please get up, sit down and talk."

After hearing Zheng Sen's words, Fan En thought he had heard it wrong. You should know that in today's era, the status of a businessman can be said to be very low. Even if you have a lot of money, in the eyes of officials, he is just a businessman, and it is too far from the real powerful.

But Zheng Sen was originally a pirate, so this idea was not very deeply rooted. Even after becoming an official, Zheng Sen accepted the idea that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was equal.

So when facing these businessmen, Zheng Sen was considered a polite and polite person, not to mention that he had asked to go to other people and to this land, if there were no local people to help us, we would be deaf and blind, let alone win.

After some push, Zheng Sen talked about the topic, which was the specific situation of the Seven Guards of Kansai.

Although the imperial court set up the Seven Guards of Guanxi, in recent decades, the people here have not had any contact with the imperial court, even if there is no open contact.

The westward direction of Jiayuguan has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. This sentence is definitely not a joke, but it is real.

"If you go back to the general, after years of development, although the seven guards in Guanxi appear to be on the surface, these seven vulgar strengths are very different. At present, the most important ones are two guards, one is the Shazhou guard not far away, and the other is the Hami guard who goes west."

Fan Enquan thought about it and said.

Although this guy has not been here for a long time, he quickly became the president of the Han Chamber of Commerce with his own ability.

Some things were learned by himself, and some things were heard by others, but when they were told to Zheng Sen, they were all verified by him. He also knew that some of his words might bring changes to the Ming army, so he spoke carefully.

"Mr. Fan means that all other garrisons are attached to these two garrisons?"

Zheng Sen showed a smile on his face. He originally thought that the number of the seven guards in Guanxi was too large. If he fought all of them, he would have to divide his troops into seven places.

Now I heard that there are only two important ones, are there no strength in the others? If this is the case, I will not need to divide my troops to attack.

Zheng Sen's words made Fan Enquan wonder. According to the rumors he had received before, Zheng Sen should be here to pursue Haoge's army. Why didn't he ask a word now? All the questions were about the situation of the Seven Guards of Kansai. Could it be that his source of information was wrong?

Although I had questions in my heart, I had to quickly answer the situation about the Seven Guards of Kansai. This guy had other plans in his mind.

After living for most of his life, he also knew that doing business was not a way out, especially in today's feudal society, where they could find an opportunity to become an official, that was what they wanted most.

It turned out that he could enter the officialdom by donating money. After His Royal Highness took office, the road was blocked directly, so Fan Enquan thought about making more contributions to the military affairs.

Perhaps starting from his own generation, there will be a family of officials, which is much better than selling goods in the wind and rain every day.

"What the general said is not bad. After years of development, the Seven Guards of Kansai were mainly two groups of people making the decision. One group of people was naturally the original Tatars here. However, they also experienced a series of civil strifes, so several garrisons in the western part of Kansai were powerless and let the Uyghurs take charge of it."

After listening to Fan Enquan's words, Zheng Sen had a general understanding of this area.

Originally, the Seven Guards of Guanxi were managed by the Mongols and were enthroned by the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Ming Dynasty court has lost control of the place due to civil strife, but the Mongolians are not a monolithic place. After a series of civil strifes, all the three garrisons in the west were lost, and now the Uyghurs are managing it.

"Mr. Fan knows how powerful the military power of these two departments is?"

If Fan Enquan was just a guess just now, after hearing Zheng Sen's words, he knew what was going on in the Ming Dynasty. Chasing Haoge should be a serious matter, but it is definitely not their first priority. The first priority of these people should be to occupy the Western Regions.

Fan Enquan suppressed his excitement. He had never thought of this before. Even if he was dreaming, he would never dare to think about it. He did not expect that the imperial army had great ambitions.

"If you go back to the general, we often trade in Shazhou Guards. We are very clear about the situation there. There are about 30,000 armed personnel of all kinds, but these people are not under the command of the same person. The biggest one is Shazhou Guard General Sonitehera."

This name appeared in Zheng Sen's ears again. It seemed that the information collected by the court had nothing wrong with it, but it was not very accurate in some aspects. After all, the court could not extend its tentacles to the Western Regions...
