Nine hundred and seventy-seven, His Majesty wants the entire Western Regions to become a state
King Fuyu was considered a bloody disaster.
Before they could react, Yu Jin took people to play the beheading tactic and was captured in one fell swoop. Then Yu Jin arranged for a while and sent his family to Luoyang.
Of course, Mr. Guo would not keep them and cut them off directly.
The Gongsun woman who was identified as rebellious by the Guo and Wei Empire was of course also rebellious.
Of course, rebellion must be cut off.
Rounding it, the nature of this matter became that Fuyu Kingdom wanted to rebel. After Yu Jin heard the news, he took the initiative to attack and directly pacify Fuyu Kingdom.
Yu Jin made another contribution.
At this point, the war in Liaodong of the Wei Empire came to an end. Yu Jin led his army to continue to clean up some disobedient small tribes and forces around him, clearing all threats for the establishment of Pingzhou. Lu Su reported the new administrative plan for the entire Pingzhou.
The administrative divisions that encompasses the former land of Fuyu Kingdom.
Mr. Guo took a quick look at the land survey reported by Lu Su and others, and found that the area where the Wei army was moving eastward was now, that was to the Heilongjiang River Basin, and it did not continue to extend eastward.
After thinking about it, Guo thought it made sense. If you continue to go east, you will certainly find a large amount of land, but it is impossible to develop at the moment.
Liaodong has too few populations and poor transportation, so it cannot be developed at all. What needs to be done now is to consolidate and develop.
Guo Peng ordered Yu Jin to lead 20,000 troops to stay in Xiangping City and assist Lu Su in completing the preliminary plan for Pingzhou together.
Then the 30,000 troops from Yuyang Camp were transferred back to Yuyang Camp and continued to garrison, stationed in Hebei, and guarded against the attack of Xianbei.
In this way, the war in Liaodong came to an end, and the large-scale military use of the Wei Empire against Liaodong was also declared to be over.
On major battlefields across the country, Jingzhou and Liaodong ended one after another. The high-energy-consuming model of the state of war ended in Jingzhou and Liaodong, and entered a relatively stable period of development and reconstruction.
This period can be slowed down a little, allowing Mr. Guo to take a breath and invest more resources elsewhere.
The war between Yangzhou and Yizhou will not end for a while, and he will continue to fill the pit dug by the Han Dynasty.
However, Mr. Guo still has more resources in his hands and is more confident to initiate immigration to Liangzhou and control over the Western Regions. The plan to return to the Western Regions must be accelerated.
All resources provided to the Liaodong marches were transferred to the immigration of Liangzhou, and the imperial court allocated funds to assist local governments in organizing more manpower and material resources to complete this large-scale immigration operation from Guandong to Liangzhou.
Since the second half of the third year of Yande, Guo Peng has asked the grassroots governments in the Central Plains to announce this matter, and then recruit people from the military farmer who are willing to go to Liangzhou for military farmership.
The preferential conditions given by the court were greater land, less taxes, and a considerable degree of preferential treatment, which recruited about 30,000 households who were willing to move.
This number is obviously insufficient, but the number of initiatives that I can take the initiative has exceeded Guo’s expectations.
The remaining part must be filled with the grassroots officials and their families who have been allocated, and then continue to recruit, striving to recruit more people who are willing to go to Liangzhou in densely populated areas.
The first batch was able to recruit nearly 150,000 people to the four counties in Hexi, which was already a good ending.
For the four Hexi counties, which are extremely short of population, filling more than 100,000 people can be considered an extraordinary doubled population.
The entire Yongzhou is responsible for supporting the construction of the four counties in Hexi and the construction of Wei Zhidao. Chen Gong needs to work together with Mao Jie to complete the tasks assigned to them by Guo Peng before the seventh year of Yande.
Open up the transportation connection between the Western Regions Protectorate and Liangzhou.
After the New Year of the fourth year of Yande, in the late first lunar month, with the return of the team of envoys from various countries in the Western Regions, Cao Xiu also welcomed the envoy sent by Guo Peng.
The envoy and Cao Ren came to Liuzhongcheng together, and together with the envoys of Kucha, witnessed the historical moment when Cao Xiu was appointed as the first protector of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Cao Xiu was appointed as the Western Regions Protectorate with a position of 2,000 stones by Guo Peng, and the location of the Western Regions Protectorate is the location of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Eastern Han Empire.
The location is the Gancheng City of Kucha.
The Kucha Kingdom wanted to clean up its Gancheng according to Guo Peng's order and hand it over to Cao Xiu, who was stationed there.
According to the agreement, Cao Xiu could lead a thousand soldiers and officials belonging to the Western Regions to garrison the city and start exercising his responsibilities.
Regarding this sudden appointment, Cao Xiu felt that he was favored by God.
Just as he wanted to follow the example of his predecessors and martyrs, he was appointed as the Protector of the Western Regions and made some achievements in the Western Regions.
Although the administrative level is only at the county magistrate level, two thousand stones, it can command the Western Regions countries to be the direct immediate superiors of the Western Regions countries. This kind of majesty is not something that the mainland county magistrates can have.
Cao Xiu happily accepted the appointment and became the acting father of the Western Regions countries, in a good mood.
After reading, Cao Ren sent away the envoy of Kucha and took Cao Xiu to a secluded and deserted place.
"Wenlie, this matter is handed over to you by Your Majesty. You should clearly realize how heavy the burden on you is. This is not a trivial matter. The Eighteen Kingdoms in the Western Regions have become my vassal states of Wei. Your duty is to maintain the stability of the Western Regions and not allow conflicts between the countries to break out and things that Your Majesty does not want to see."
Cao Xiu looked confident.
"Uncle, I have always admired Ban Dingyuan, so I must follow Ban Dingyuan in everything. Don't worry!"
"Who asked you to do the class Dingyuan?"
Cao Ren looked at no one around and whispered: "If Your Majesty wants you to be a squad, why give you a thousand people? Just give you thirty-six people directly, why do you have such a big fight?"
"ah?"
Cao Xiu looked confused.
Cao Ren slapped Cao Xiu in the head.
"I can't tell this? What Your Majesty wants is the Western Region Protectorate Palace? What Your Majesty wants is the entire Western Region to become a state!"
"ah?!"
Cao Xiu became even more confused: "The Western Regions... became a state? Isn't that... Your Majesty wants to attack the countries in the Western Regions? Your Majesty's appointment has come down? We want to send troops to the Western Regions to pacify the countries in the Western Regions?"
"It can be said that, but it is definitely not now."
Cao Ren whispered: "If Your Majesty treats the Western Regions the same as the former Han treats the Western Regions, how can I need my 50,000 troops to stay in the four counties of Hexi? The four counties of Hexi cannot produce enough food for the time being. I stay here for people to eat horses and chew them. You don't know how much it will cost to eat in a day?"
Cao Xiu suddenly felt that what Cao Ren said made sense.
"Then... it's..."
"Your Majesty gave me the task of leading troops to assist Mao envoy in the road construction. Do you know where we are going to build the road?"
“Where?”
Cao Xiu looked curious.
"You are, Kucha, it's dry city."
"It's a city?"
Cao Xiu looked surprised.
Cao Ren nodded slowly.
"You still don't understand your majesty's intention? Your Majesty sent a large caravan to the Western Regions to explore the way. I heard that the purpose of the large caravan is not the countries in the Western Regions, but the Kingdom of Rest and Kushan further westwards."
"Does Your Majesty want to conquer the Abnorth Kingdom and the Kushan Kingdom?"
Cao Xiu looked puzzled: "That's too far. How much food is needed to send the army?"
"Your Majesty does not seem to be trying to attack the Kingdom of Anxi and Kushan. Your Majesty's intention is to go to business with these two major countries. I am not very clear about what it means.
But Wen Lie, you have to remember that you are the Protector of the Western Regions not to be a blessing for you, nor to be a blessing for the people of the Western Regions. What you have to do is to understand the national strength of the Western Regions in all aspects."
Cao Ren said this, and Cao Xiu gradually understood what he should do.
"So that's it. Your Majesty actually has such an intention. In this way... is there any war to fight?"
Cao Xiu was a little excited.
"This is not something to be happy about. The Western Regions are vast, with vast land and sparsely populated areas. If you can't figure out the road, you will get lost and die of hunger and thirst. Your task is very important. You must never slackew. Don't just focus on being arrogant and doing good deeds. Do you understand?"
Cao Ren seriously mentioned Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu nodded excitedly.
"I understand, I will not let down His Majesty's expectations."
"You don't have any experience in doing things independently. Your Majesty has sent my counselor Zhao Yan to you as the chief of the Western Regions. If you encounter any problems, you will listen to Zhao Yan's words more."
Cao Ren gave another instructions.
