Once the will of reforming craftsmen was promulgated, the craftsmen of the entire Ming Dynasty were rejoicing and inspiring.

In the past, they were driven by cows and horses, and their lives were very hard, and their only hope was to be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes.

I don't dare to have any extra thoughts.

But now their eyes are full of light.

Because they see hope.

His Majesty the Emperor was wise and powerful, abolished the old craftsmanship system, and gave the craftsmen full respect and social status.

From then on, craftsmen were no longer lowly pariahs, but rather good families.

Craftsmen can also become officials, which is no different from scholars.

So the craftsmen put in full force and prepared to do a big fight.

Although the court has not yet stated the specific examination method, it should be fair.

As long as it is fair, they will strive for it.

If you can become an official in the court, you can also be considered as shining your family.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials and the people were completely different classes.

Officials can not only protect their families, but also gain respect from the world.

Over time, after several generations of inheritance, it can become a prominent local family.

As long as you work hard, you can change your destiny. This really makes people yearn for you.

They really caught up with a good time and a good emperor.

When today I gave them a reason to be upright.

Therefore, they cannot disappoint the emperor. They must prove that they can also share the worries of the emperor and contribute to the Ming Dynasty like scholars.

Literary, martial artist, craftsman, and perhaps these three types of people will lead to the momentum of three-legged tyranny in the future.

Li Dingguo has officially decided to withdraw his troops from the Safi Empire.

This decision is not as easy as I thought.

After all, they have been here for more than half a year, and the soldiers have become accustomed to local life.

After suddenly deciding to evacuate, most of the soldiers felt more or less reluctant.

But even if you are reluctant to leave, you have to leave.

After all, their roots are not here, and it is unreasonable to continue to stay in the Safi Empire.

Moreover, Li Dingguo also had to consider what Abbas II would think.

Although this Persian emperor was very kind, he was actually worried about the Ming army, right?

When the Ottoman army invaded Persia, the Ming army and the Persian army were friendly forces and coalition forces, and could join forces to fight against the enemy without any scruples.

However, after the Ottoman army was defeated and seeking peace, the foreign enemy was gone, so the Ming army naturally had to take into account the mentality of friendly troops.

If Abbas II misunderstood and thus had some bad ideas about the Ming army, wouldn’t it be a bit unworthy of the gain?

Li Dingguo was not sure that Abbas II would always treat the Ming army as a friendly army.

So instead of continuing to keep it and making people feel annoying, it is better to leave it straightforward.

Li Dingguo immediately conveyed his thoughts to the soldiers, and the soldiers also expressed their understanding.

This made Li Dingguo feel very pleased.

Whether it is Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, or even Liu Xingming and Hao Yaoqi, they are all very sensible.

This made Li Dingguo very easy to do.

After a long time wandering away was not a long-term solution. After preparing enough food and grass, the Ming army finally embarked on the way back.

From the Persian Empire to Samarkand in the River, and then back to the Western Regions through the vassal states, the entire journey takes several months.->>

In addition to food, fresh water is the most important material.

Li Dingguo was very concerned about this matter. He wanted to ensure that there would be no accidents on the entire journey.

As for the bandits and horse thieves, Li Dingguo was not very worried.

Because the Ming army has an army of 100,000 at least, even if a larger horse thief can have tens of thousands of people, right?

How dare they make the Ming army's idea?

I was so scared that I pee my pants when I heard Ming Jun’s formation from afar. Isn’t it that I hid far away?

Li Dingguo estimated that if everything went well, they would definitely be able to spend New Year's Eve this year in the capital.

He can finally reunite with his family.

"King Li Jin is back, His Highness is back."

After hearing the news, the Sogdians in Samarkand began to cry excitedly.

During these days when the Ming army was gone, they were robbed by Turkic horse thieves and lived a nervous life.

Although the city of Samarkand is prosperous, there are not many troops stationed in the city and can only protect themselves. However, it is impossible to say that the city will suppress bandits.

This made the Sogdians dilemma.

You should know that they don’t work in farming and think that their livelihood depends on business.

When doing business, you naturally have to go out of the city. Hiding in the city is just a small area of ​​land, but you can't support a big family like them.

But if you go out, you may be robbed by Turkic horse thieves. Not to mention that the business cannot be completed, even your life may be lost.

This is really embarrassing.

Now, the Ming army is coming, and when King Li Jin comes, they will be saved.

The 100,000 troops of the Ming army entered the city in a mighty manner. The elders of the nine major families in the city immediately served food and drink, and gold and silver to welcome the Ming army.

After some inquiries at the banquet, Li Dingguo learned that they were in trouble for the horse thief.

"Please rest assured that since you have accepted the identity of the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, as the sect leader, Daming should protect you. Not to mention a mere horse thief, even the Ottomans will not let them bully you."

If someone else said this, there would be some pretentiousness, but Li Dingguo would not.

He joined forces with the Persians to severely damage the Ottomans.

The Ottoman army was arrogant and claimed to be invincible in the world. Wasn't it still defeated by the Ming army?

"This is great. If His Highness King Jin can take charge of us and eliminate the horse thieves, we will definitely give us a generous gift."

The Sogdian elders said excitedly.

"You said before that these horse thieves are descendants of Turkic?"

"Yes. Logically speaking, after the Western Turks moved west to Hezhong, they had long been impure in blood. However, the Turks have never been a theory of blood, but cultural identity. They all identify Turkic speakers as Turks. Some of these guys went to the Ottomans further west, while the rest stayed in the local area became horse thieves and started a business without foundation."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sneer.

"It's really outrageous. Do these descendants of Turkic really think that no one can control them? In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they were beaten to cry and cry, and they couldn't find the north, and were forced to move westward. Hundreds of years have passed, and they are still the same as bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. I dare to take care of things that others dare not care about. I want them to know that even if hundreds of years have passed, your uncle will still be your uncle."

Li Dingguo's words made the Sogdians very excited.

With the support of the Ming army, what else is there to be scary? It is best to take this opportunity to let these horse thieves fully understand the importance of being content with themselves.
