> When Zhao Xing received the news of the great victory in the Western Regions, it was already June of the eighth year of Guangxi. "《"/《"/《" This was half a year ahead of the completion of the task at the end of the year specified by him for the Pingxi Legion, and according to the reported casualties, it was a complete victory.

In just four months, only more than 12,000 casualties were killed and killed, and the Wusun Kingdom, with a population of more than 600,000 and a larger territory than Jizhou, was also used to use troops from abroad. This achievement was enough to make Zhao Xing record a special record for the Pingxi Army.

Zhao Xing was in a good mood and immediately drafted a commendation order to commend the Pingxi Army, and asked the peasants, soldiers, merchants and financial banks to allocate two million taels of silver as a reward to reward the soldiers who were using their lives outside.

Although the Wusun Kingdom had been initially subdued, the subsequent work was far from over. While happy, Zhao Xing did not forget himself, but immediately dispatched a group of grassroots officials and various craftsmen from Jin State to gather in Dunhuang City. After these Han officials and craftsmen arrived at Dunhuang New City, they personally sent troops from Guan Yu to welcome them.

These officials will have to shoulder the historical responsibility of managing and educating the Wusun people in the future. As for these craftsmen, they will guide the Wusun prisoners to build permanent fortifications in some important areas and cities where a large population can gather.

In Zhao Xing's view, if you want to truly conquer the Wusun people on the horse's back, you must first occupy the Wusun land for a long time. If you want to occupy the Wusun land for a long time, you must find a way to pull the Wusun people off the horse's back. Building permanent fortifications and cities for a large number of people is undoubtedly the best choice.

Zhao Xing wrote letters to Guan Yu and Liu Yu respectively, and put forward his own opinions and opinions on future military affairs and political affairs in the Western Regions.

Zhao Xing reminded Guan Yu that in the future, he would continue to adopt a steady and steady approach to the Western Regions, especially paying attention to the military strategies of Shanshan, Loulan, Qiemo, Jingjue and other soldiers on the Southern Silk Road north of Kunlun Mountain and south of the Western Regions, and conquering these small countries by combining Huaru and force.

As the territory actually controlled by the Pingxi Legion is getting bigger and bigger, and the current military strength is obviously insufficient, Zhao Xing not only expanded the Xiliang Army, but also officially awarded the Yanqi Heishan Cheshi Alliance, but also added an army organization to the Pingxi Legion.

Among them, the 20,000 cavalry unit, originally called the Yanqi Heishan Che Division coalition, was officially named the Huxi Army by Zhao Xing, and its organization was expanded to 30,000 people. The 10,000 people were shortened from the Western Liang Army. The commander was Yan Liang and Ma Dai served as military advisor.

The Xiliang Army, which originally had 30,000 people, was withdrawn by the Huxi Army for 10,000, and the original 20,000 cavalry of Yanqi reserves was all assigned to the Xiliang Army. In this way, the Xiliang Army became 40,000 people. The commander of the army was still Ma Chao, and Tian Yu was still the military advisor.

In this way, the two powerful cavalry units all became cavalry units mixed with Han and Hu, and the main generals were all trusted generals.

Among the cavalry units under Zhao Xing, except for the Flying Tiger Army that has always maintained its pure Han blood, the Canglang Army and Dingyuan Army are all Han people, Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng and Yaoxing. Now the Xiliang Army and the Huxi Army are handling this, and they are not afraid of any problems. As long as the Han ratio of generals at all levels are firmly controlled, these troops will always obey Zhao Xing's command and call and will not easily rebel.

The number of the new army added by Zhao Xing for the Pingxi Army was Tianyi Army, with 30,000 troops. The source of troops was recruited from Jin, Jizhou and Youzhou respectively. The commander was Zhao Gang and the military division was Lu Xun. This unit was an infantryman of all sizes, with a total of six divisions, all of which were mixed-mounted troops, and no longer distinguished between heavy infantry and light infantry.

All officers above the Tianyi Army's central camp were drawn from the Huhu Army, the Pioneer Army and the Xiongwu Army. After the recruitment of the entire army was completed, Zhao Gang and officers at all levels had already arrived and went to the Western Regions for training.

As a Han infantry army with pure blood, the Tianyi Army will take on the important task of protecting Yuanqu City, where the Pingxi Prince's Mansion is located, that is, Zhao Xing's imperial guards. From the beginning, this army will receive a brand new training method and be equipped with brand new weapons and equipment. In the future, it will bear a heavy task similar to the Crouching Tiger Army in the Western Regions.

In this way, the entire Pingxi Army will be composed of five armies, including 40,000 Xiliang Army, 40,000 Pingxi Army, 30,000 Huxi Army, 30,000 Kunlun Army and 30,000 Tianyi Army, with a total force of 170,000.

According to Zhao Xing's vision, in the future, the Tianyi Army will be stationed in the territory of Yanqi, the hinterland of the Western Regions, the Kunlun Army will be stationed near the Chigu City of Wusun, and the Huxi Army will cruising on the north and south sides of the Tianshan Mountains as emergency mobile forces. The 40,000 Xiliang Army and the 40,000 Pingxi Army will still be the main combat forces, gradually occupying and eroding the areas that have not yet surrendered to the Western Regions.

Given his distrust of the Wusun people, Zhao Xing had no plans to recruit soldiers from the Wusun prisoners for the time being. After he had completely controlled the Western Regions, whether to absorb the Wusun people to join the cavalry unit depends on the situation.

Zhao Xing urged Liu Yu to seize the time to provide pre-job training for the grassroots officials of Jin State who had recently been transferred to the Western Regions, so that they could familiarize themselves with the customs and customs of the Western Regions as early as possible, quickly integrate into the local society, and bring out a group of local officials in the shortest time.

Zhao Xing also suggested that Liu Yu try to find a way to encourage the Hu people on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to go north to enter the Wusun territory to settle down, and at the same time migrate a group of Wusun people into the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to live, and eventually form a favorable situation where all ethnic groups in the Western Regions live together.

As for other in-depth tasks such as unifying weights and measures, unifying words and language, and unifying clothing and etiquette, Zhao Xing believes that even if he does not remind Liu Yu, he will definitely find ways to do everything possible to carry out in-depth development. Now Zhao Xing's policy on national integration has shown obvious results in Jin and Liang. Liu Yu himself is the implementer of specific policies. He has accumulated a lot of experience in promoting ethnic integration.

In order to support Liu Yu, Zhao Xing instructed five important newspapers including Jinbao to report on the customs and various rare specialties in the Western Regions in large quantities, called on mainland merchants to go to the Western Regions to seek good opportunities to get rich, and called on mainland grain growers and breeders to go to the Western Regions to contract farmland and develop animal husbandry.

Today, the total population of the Western Regions is only a few million, far from reaching saturation. It can absorb labor from densely populated areas of the mainland to go to the Western Regions for pioneering and development.

In the Jin Daily, Zhao Xing called this large-scale action the "Western Development" strategy, and clearly stated that any merchants and farmers who are willing to go to the Western Regions to do business, plant, breed and open various workshops can get a very considerable start-up capital from the farmers, soldiers, merchants and financial stores stationed in the Western Regions. This start-up capital is enough for merchants and farmers who go to the Western Regions to immediately gain a foothold in the Western Regions. As long as they operate patiently for two or three years, they will definitely get rich returns.

Although the Han people are reluctant to leave their hometowns easily, Zhao Xing can still attract a large number of Han people to go to the Western Regions to make a living and settle down. As long as the holdings continue to be reduced, when one day the number of Han people is the same as the number of Hu people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, Zhao Xing does not believe that the Western Regions can still escape the embrace of the Han.
