“Victory comes easier than expected.”

Sitting in a large mansion built in Hami City, Liu Jun smiled at the excited generals. With Liu Jun's arrival, some of the defeated Junggar soldiers who were originally hiding in the city were quickly eliminated. Most of the defeated soldiers under Gushi Khan's command outside the city were hunted and captured.

Hami has now become a great man.

This Western Regions portal was completely open to the Han Dynasty.

Hami was called Xichen in ancient times, Yiwulu in the Han Dynasty, Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty, Hamili in the Yuan Dynasty, and Hamiwei in the Ming Dynasty. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate was established, and Hami was named Yiwulu in his jurisdiction. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang and was a county system. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the people of Xiliang fled to Yiwu and surrendered to Rouran, and became king in Yiwu.

By the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei army captured Yiwu, and the Northern Wei Dynasty officially established Yiwu County here. This was also the earliest formal administrative establishment in Hami. It was no longer a lie, but an administrative region directly under the Central Plains court.

After that, Yiwu belonged to the Central Plains, to the Turks, Uighurs, and Tubo. Later, the Mongols rose up and they were subordinate to Mongolia. Later, the Yuan Dynasty attached Hamili to Gansu Province.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, descendants of Chagatai in Mongolia once occupied Hami and called King Wei Wu. After the fall of Yuan Dynasty, they became independent and called Hami Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty destroyed Yuan Dynasty and the King of Hami surrendered. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the then Hami King to be named King Zhongshun. Later, he formally established Hami Guards in Hami and stationed in the guards. For decades after that, although Hami Kingdom was still retained, the Hami throne was actually empty for a long time, and the court only allowed the heir to the throne of the governor and not to rule the state affairs.

By a hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty was unable to look west, and the Hami Kingdom, which had existed for more than 100 years for eleven years, was occupied by the Turpan Khan. Later, it was taken away by the Yarkand Khan and finally occupied by the Junggar. Until now, the Holy Han Empire has fought westward and entered Hami.

"The throat of the Western Regions is extremely important. The court must garrison here." Liu Jun looked at the sand table and pointed at the basin. "The existing Hami City is too narrow. The court wants to plan to build a new city and a Seoul here."

In the past, the shamans believed in Hami Kingdom later began to convert to the Green Sect after the Yerkang occupation. After that, the Junggars invaded and suppressed the Xingyue Sect, intending to implement the Tibetan Buddha Yellow Sect, but the effect was not great.

"Build a new city, a Seoul city, and move Han people from the Central Plains to move all the tribes who believed in the Xingyue Sect in the original old city to the Central Plains. The vacant old city can be transformed into a fortress castle, which specializes in building troops."

Before Liu Jun sent troops to fight the West, he was already considering the long-term control of the Western Regions in the future.

Whether it is the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han Dynasty or the four Anxi towns in the Tang Dynasty, they are essentially just banishing systems. This system is similar to some later generations of ethnic autonomy or local autonomy.

This is actually a disguised compromise.

The Central Plains court was unable to completely control these places at all, but these tribes in the Western Regions were unable to fight against the powerful Central Plains dynasties, so both sides took a step back and compromised with each other.

The tribes in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Central Plains dynasty, allowed the court to garrison troops, etc. In addition to sending some troops to various parts of the Western Regions, the court actually managed them according to the customs and habits of the original indigenous people, and even the local affairs were mainly controlled by the leaders of these tribes.

During the Tang Dynasty, the development of the Western Regions was strengthened, and many long-term "Long March athletes" were summoned, and hundreds of thousands of people immigrated to the Western Regions and stationed troops in military farms. The actual control of the Western Regions was strengthened. Unfortunately, in the Anshi Rebellion, the troops stationed in the Western Regions returned to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, and Dashi took the opportunity to advance eastward, and the development of a hundred years was a devastating one day.

Although the restraining policies of the Han and Tang dynasties were compromised local autonomy policies, they also had many advantages. However, there were naturally many disadvantages. The disadvantage was that it was difficult for these natives to always have a strong sense of identity with the Central Plains. Once they were strong or had a stronger force than the Central Plains appeared in the surrounding areas, they either rebelled and became independent or turned to their masters.

Liu Jun didn't like this system, thinking that it was too difficult to create this system to subtly assimilate these frontier tribes. It took too long to consume, and it often had no effect.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, in the past two thousand years, none of them were able to truly control the Western Regions. There were also Mongolian grasslands and outside the Northeast Pass, only the Yunnan-Guizhou region had barely achieved some results.

The policy of restraint is completely out of reach and there is no way to achieve the situation where there is no way to achieve it, one kind of compromise, and one kind of compromise.

But now the Han Dynasty's national strength is booming, and it is time to sweep across the Eight Desolates and gain power. With the centripetal force of the new dynasty, the Han Dynasty has completed its original accumulation without much obstacle and is now able to penetrate into the Western Regions.

Since he has this ability to directly control the Western Regions, Liu Jun will certainly not implement any restrictive policies, nor will he let the Green Cult move eastward, and it is even more impossible for them to continue to control the land of the Western Regions.

In history, in order to conquer that new territory, the Qing Dynasty fought for nearly a hundred years. After destroying the Junggar, it also destroyed various rebellions. In the end, it even massacred a once-powerful Junggar Khanate to the end of the country and the clan. The Jurchens rely on massacres, which was like this in the Central Plains, and even in the Western Regions.

While massacre, the Qing army was stationed, the city was built, and the immigrants and reclamation were settled. With these policies and some means of responsibility, the area was finally controlled.

Liu Jun doesn't plan to massacre, there is no need.

The Han people now account for three quarters of the population.

Moreover, the massacre is too wasteful, both inhuman and manpower. Now the Central Plains are short of workers everywhere, and the South China Sea, the Indochina Peninsula, the Northeast and even the New World are also short of labor.

For those who obey, Liu Jun would treat them kindly, move to the Central Plains, work in factories, mine, build roads, lay bridges, and work as tenants. In short, they would have their place to settle down. As long as they obey, they would have their own residence, work, and have enough food, and even support their families. Children could also go to school to learn Chinese characters and Mandarin. In the future, they might be able to go to a technical school to work as a technician, and maybe they would be a second-class citizen, but in a few generations, they might become a Han person.

The imperial court recently issued a law that non-Han ethnic groups cannot intermarry with each other. Non-Han ethnic groups can only be monogamous and prohibited from taking concubines. Under this law, plus assimilation education, those conquered foreign tribes left the land they lived in for generations and dissolved into the sea of ​​Han people, learned Chinese, prohibited speaking the original language and writing the original text, and even intermarrying with the original ethnic groups. The tribes will be dispersed and separated, and the original social system will be completely disrupted. In this case, Liu Jun believed that whether it is colonization or "Sinicization", in the past, the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, they have always been powerless in conquering and assimilating foreign tribes, and the sacred Han will not be a problem.

This is also a huge assimilation ability that can only be achieved in the commercial economy and the industrial era. If the sacred Han Dynasty was still only an era of agriculturalization, it would be very difficult to do these things.

As the Han Emperor's team continued to advance westward, the tribes of the Western Regions would be moved to the Central Plains and dispersed to various places. A large number of Han people would be moved to this new territory. By then, the foot of the mountains in the Western Regions and on the oasis on the edge of the basin were all Han people.

Then this land will always become the land of the Han people.

Although this will have a considerable cost, it is the only way to do it once and for all.

"Move all Hami's **** away?"

“This is not low.”

Liu Jun smiled.

"It's not difficult. There are labor shortages in various places and it's difficult to hire people. For this reason, many people have already started to hire people from labor agencies at high prices. The cost is actually not low. We can now issue edicts to merchants and citizens from all over the country to tell these merchants who need employment and landlords that as long as they send a Central Plains immigrant, they can bring a **** back from our army."

Let those factory owners and landlords be responsible for immigration, and they can move one from the Central Plains to take one back.

The relocation costs and travel expenses are all advanced by them. The money can be divided into three parts in the end. One part is the cost of hiring people, and the second part can be regarded as the employment expenses for those ***s. In the future, the money will be deducted on those ***s, just like the foreign workers they hired in the labor agency. These employed workers also have to pay a monthly living expense, and then when the living expenses and the hiring expenses are deducted, they can freely choose to continue hiring or find a new job.

The remaining part of the expenses can be reimbursed to the court, and the court will subsidize them.

"A good idea, in this way, the court will spend the lowest cost, but it can solve these problems of the relocation of **** and the relocation of Han people."

"This matter also needs to have a detailed charter and scale. For example, those who move out of the Central Plains must be chosen by the court, and those in poor areas, such as some backward mountainous areas, some areas that are often affected by drought and flood, or the current mining areas. The court selects and then mobilizes people from these areas to register. Only areas selected by the court and those who voluntarily register to go can be included in this immigration plan, and those merchants who want to participate can only be responsible for transporting these people over."

The points that Liu Jun said are also distinguishing the power and responsibilities. The merchants are only responsible for relocation. But they cannot decide where to move whom. Adding this is also to make the court's policy implement. People cannot move casually, they must be those who need to move.

Although the Han Dynasty immigrated every year, there are still a large number of areas that are poor mountainous areas and often affected areas. The imperial court immigrated every year, but the cost of immigration is very high. Even if major banks join in and provide loans, the scale of immigration in the imperial court is also limited.

Many people can also immigrate independently, but the cost is also very large, and not everyone is willing to take this risk.

It is indeed a good solution to let the merchants who need to work advance payments to immigrate, and then solve the problem of a large number of immigrants by hiring natives in the Western Regions.

Each one takes the necessary one.

The court wants to immigrate, merchants want to work, there are people in the court without money, and merchants have money but no one, and it is just right for them to cooperate with each other.

"If all the indigenous people who conquered the Western Regions were removed, I'm afraid they would definitely not be happy, especially to the merchants, so that they could only be free if they were hired for eight or ten years." Someone asked a question.

Whether the court wants to immigrate or the merchants want to hire workers, this is something the court is willing to do, and these people in the Western Regions are not necessarily happy.

"It doesn't matter whether they are happy or not. Those who take the lead in rebels die, and those who follow will be exiled to the new continent to open up land. I believe that as long as you kill one to warn a hundred, it will be successfully implemented."

Many generals have already felt that the emperor has become more and more tough recently, but if you think about it carefully, if you don’t have a little more ironic blood on the issue of the Western Regions, you will be afraid that there will be endless troubles.

Moreover, two-way immigration is also a customary policy of the court to the newly conquered places. This is true in the Northeast, North Korea, Japan, Central and South Asia, and other places. Until now, these newly conquered places are very peaceful, which fully demonstrates the practicality of this policy.

In the Northeast, North Korea, Japan, Annan, Myanmar, these newly conquered lands, Seoul is rising one after another, and countless Han immigrants live on the new land. The indigenous people have become less and less, and they are constantly being moved away. The empire's control over the newly conquered land is becoming increasingly stable.

Originally, this large-scale migration of the indigenous people in the Western Regions should have waited until the entire Western Regions conquered before proceeding better. After all, immigrants now may make those natives hostile to the Han Dynasty, and even join the rebels, and may also make the rebels such as Junggar more stubbornly resist.

However, considering the huge influence of the Western Region Green Cult, Liu Jun would rather do it as soon as possible.

If you occupy a city, you will clear it.

His precautions for the Green Sect are even far above the Cross Sect.

“Demolition of all temples and churches!”

In the Central Plains, Liu Jun is also very particular about the situation, and the Inquisition is relatively low-key in his work and controls the rhythm. However, in this new land, Liu Jun is not polite.

In fact, Liu Jun had already had a close relationship with the central and important officials of the court. After the Han Dynasty, it would be clear that the Star and Moon Sect, Cross Sect, Hindu, Tibetan Buddhism and other religions would be prohibited.

Those who believe in God, God, Buddha, etc. are all objects to be banned.

In the future, the great man could only believe in one, God.

Heaven is not a physical object, it is the way of heaven, the rules of all things, and the principles of all things. The Emperor of Han was the son of heaven, and the heaven granted the power of the monarch, which was sacred and inviolable.

The Emperor of Han was both a secular manager and a spokesperson for heaven. In short, all the right to interpret must be attributed to the Emperor of Han, and no one else has the qualification.

The British kings knew that religions fought for royal power, so they tried their best to create a national religion, and the king also served as religious leaders. Since the Western Han Dynasty, China has also gained the supremacy of Confucianism and abolished all schools of thought. With the Confucianism of the unity of man and nature, the authority of the king is granted divine authority, etc.

The three martial arts in Chinese history destroyed Buddhism, the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu destroyed Buddhism, the Northern Zhou Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, and the Tang Emperor Wuzong destroyed Buddhism are also the manifestation of the contradiction between secular and religious struggle for power.

The Star and Moon Sect and the Cross Sect are no more than Taoism and Buddhism in China. After more than a thousand years of evolution, China's Buddhism and Taoism have been tamed by the Chinese secular world. Those rebellious Maitreya, White Lotus Sect, Taiping Taoism, Five Dogs of Rice and other rebellious sects were eventually listed as cults. However, when various dynasties in ancient Chinese history perished, you can always see the shadows behind the Buddhist and Taoism.

Liu Jun could tolerate these controlled Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Han Dynasty, but he could not tolerate sects full of aggression and deceptiveness such as the Star Moon Sect and the Cross Sect, which were truly rooted and bewitched in the Han Dynasty. Once indulged, it would sooner or later become a confidant.

"Report to Your Majesty, military information is sent to you outside." A guard came in to report.

"pass."

"Report to Your Majesty, General Zhang Huangyan, the general of Qinghai, reported that the troops had surrounded Huozhou and blocked Batu's retreat."

Huozhou is Turpan.

Batur's two armies were defeated one after another. Although he took the initiative to abandon Hami, he was reluctant to abandon Turpan. He could not have expected that the 50,000 army led by Gushikhan, the old fox, would be defeated so quickly in Ha. When he wanted to retreat to Yili, Zhang Huangyan had already arrived in the west of Turpan and blocked his way.

The 40,000 Han and Qiang coalition forces blocked the way, and Batur wanted to forcefully kill him with the 90,000 people in his hand.

But as soon as he was dispatched his troops out of the city, Zhang Guodong led another 60,000 Han and Mongolian coalition forces to fight from behind.

There was interception in front and pursuers behind, and the number even exceeded that of Batur's Junggar army. Being caught off guard, Batur had to withdraw back to Turpan, and the two armies surrounded him and trapped him in Turpan city.

"very good."

Liu Jun was not even too excited to hear this news.

After Sengge and Turubaihu's north and south wings were almost gone, Liu Jun had already expected this result today.

"Batur's courage is gone, and he is not afraid of it."

Fu Shan said with a big laugh.

Batur, who held 90,000 troops in his hand, even fought against the 40,000 Han and Qiang coalition forces, did not dare to fight the decisive battle with Zhang Huangyan. This kind of indecisive behavior of fearing wolves in front and tigers in the back and forth, was really bad.

If he fought for the back and forth, even if there were more casualties, he would still be able to deal with a vast area when he rushed out. No matter how bad he was, he could still escape to Siberia or Russia. But now, he retreated.

After retreating, he became the turtle among the old man.

He never had the chance to escape again. Tens of thousands of Han, Qiang and Mongolian troops surrounded Turpan, and the Junggar is now in full swing everywhere and has no more energy to rescue him.

Liu Jun was in Hami with an army of 100,000. Once Liu Jun arrived with his army and cannons, Turpan would be strong, and Batur would have many soldiers, and he would never be able to hold on for a few days.

"It's really hard to imagine that Junggar has 200,000 strong soldiers, but in a few months, several major battles have become the end of Weng Zhongzhi. The Western Regions have changed hands." Liu Yunsheng said with a laugh.

"Tell me my will, the army will set out immediately, and we will go to Turpan."
Chapter completed!
