Chapter 1462
Qin Lang refused everyone. He is old but has many children and grandchildren. Whoever likes him will take him.
No matter who he is, the visitor is a guest, and everything is done.
It can even be said that the chaos in the west is so chaotic, which is inseparable from Luzon's act as an arms dealer there, such as the Umayyad Dynasty, and the uprisings and separatist forces. If the Qin family had not provided them with a large amount of loans and a large amount of arms, they would not have been so confident to rebel.
The Visigoths were able to wipe out the entire Arab invasion, which was also the credit of the Qin mercenary army.
Anyway, it was just like a mess, who was provoking trouble everywhere, selling arms everywhere, and then ships of gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. were taken to Luzon, Southeast Asia.
In order to be able to repay the loan, they even contracted all the tax rights to many Tang merchants.
Tang Shang then became a tax-bearing merchant, and took his mercenaries to collect taxes everywhere. Not to mention, their tax collection accounts were clear and efficient, which made everyone very satisfied.
After the second day of Qin Xiaozhong's meeting ended, when discussing affairs in Zichen Hall, he proposed to set up a new Xindu Protectorate in the Xindu River Basin east of the Kaibauer Pass in the Daxue Mountains of the Western Regions.
The former Tochar king, King Bin, was the Protector of the Xindu Protectorate, and governed the Kingdom of Yubo, Najilao, Gandhara, Fala, and Abojian, etc. 13 countries...
In fact, the sage is no longer the sage in the Han Dynasty. The sage in the Han Dynasty is also called Daxia, but in the West it is called Bad Cria.
During Li Yin's reign, the Kingdom of Qibin established by the Sai people defeated the Greeks was passed down to the 12th generation. The king He Xiezhi followed the sect leader Tuchao Yehu to join the Tang Dynasty, and was granted the title of governor of Xiuxian, and ruled the thirteen states.
However, later, the Turkic nobleman Ayete led his troops to kill King Qibin, seize the king's kingdom, and ruled the kingdom. This kind of thing was a normal thing after the Western Turks entered the Western Regions. They didn't know how many times they had done this. The nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in Hezhong, and even the strongest Kang Kingdom, were not taken away by the Turkic nobles.
After Aye became King of Qibin, he still surrendered to the sect leader Turchar Yehu, and continued to control vassals such as Gandhara. During the previous chaos in the Western Regions, Qibin's new Turkic king had jumped more powerfully because the court planned to occupy the Xindu River Basin, which was exactly the sphere of influence of Qibin, so they were the most active.
But the one who was photographed the most ruthlessly later.
After the Tang Dynasty, it took decades to adjust its strategy, gradually destroy the Western Turks, conquered the river, and re-subdued the Tochar, and then entered the Xindu River to expand its strength bit by bit. At this time, the Turkic king and the upper Turkic nobles were also powerless.
Even their Tocharo Yehu's father could not withstand the beating of the Tang Dynasty. In name, the overlords of the Khurasan region often could only nomadic in the mountains. In fact, they just hid in Tibet. Even Tocharo Yehu had changed several people abnormally, all of whom died abnormally.
The Tang Dynasty was able to enter Tochar, and Xindu set up post stations to station troops to build military camps. It was not a polite application, but a slap in the hands of the slap again and again.
Every time I slap two times and then give two sweet dates, I also share the benefits of trade, so I just go all the way.
King Shibin, the hardcore brother of Tocharo Yehu, was also a child of Tocharo Yehu's family earlier, but now the relationship has faded.
Especially when Tocharo Yehu was beaten without the strength to resist the Tang Dynasty, and even had to often avoid nomadic things, fearing that the Tang Dynasty would confiscate them for the entire tribe one day, King Qibin, because he cooperated with the Tang Dynasty in recent years, they benefited a lot after the Silk Road prospered, and even increased their strength.
King Bin even gave himself a new title, Fusanthus. The title of Fusanthus is actually a translation of Caesar, sometimes called Fusanthus. It is said that this is because the Turks and Fusanthus had been in contact with the Romans more often.
Even earlier in the Kushan Empire, the title of Caesar was used.
Fu Fengfu, meaning the Roman Emperor, the Turkic king of a small country, actually gave himself the title of Roman Emperor, which sounds incredible and even ridiculous.
But the Persian king used to call himself the king of kings, and the Kushan king was also called the king of kings.
Caesar was originally the dictator of the Roman Republic, also known as the Uncrowned King, and almost became the Roman emperor. After he was assassinated, his adopted son Octavian Augustus became the first head of the Roman Empire.
Because Octavian was the heir of Caesar, he was also called Octavian Caesar. Several later Roman emperors were also relatives of Octavian, with blood relatives and adopted sons, so they all had Caesar in their names.
After Nero's death, the Claudi dynasty ended in the Yurien of Rome, which could also be called the end of the Caesar dynasty. After that, four emperors were warlords who proclaimed themselves as kings. In order to show their legitimacy, they also used the surname Caesar after becoming emperors, so Caesar became a title of the emperor.
The title of Augustus is also very special. After the end of the Civil War, Octavian did not dare to directly proclaim himself emperor. After all, Caesar was a lesson in the past. He took a roundabout way and asked the Senate to give him the power of governor of half of the provinces of the Republic and give him the power to protect civil officials. He called him the head of the Senate and established his own legal authority through a series of means. The Senate later granted him the title of Augustus.
In this way, Augustus did not publicly claim to be king and reformed, but in fact he had become the emperor of the empire.
So later, Caesar and Augustus used the title of Roman emperors. To be honest, Caesar represents the legal inheritance of his bloodline, while Augustus represents the imperial privileges possessed by his noble identity.
The King of the Turbin Turks gave himself the title of Roman Caesar, which really seemed out of place. After all, you, a Turkic barbarian, where did you get the Caesar bloodline?
If you are a Khasa, it would be different. After all, Khasaye has formed a ally with the Eastern Roman Emperor, and he has indeed had Roman royal blood and can have something to do with Caesar.
However, from this title, you can also see the ambition of the King of Turbin, and he even wanted to replace Tocharo Yehu.
Therefore, at this time, Qin Xiaozhong proposed that the Kingdom of Qibin east of Mount Hindu Kush should be divided into the Tochar Protectorate, and there would be no problem to set up the Xindu Protectorate alone.
First, Tochar has been repaired by the Western Army of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and he has no strength to oppose it. Second, Yubin has been very close to the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and he doesn't even take the sect leader Tochar Ye Hu seriously, so he must be happy to raise Yubin.
The newly established Protectorate is called Xindu Protectorate instead of the Protectorate of Binbin Protectorate, which is also a secret mystery.
Qin Xiaozhong proposed not to directly create a ban on the Protectorate, but to develop one government and two systems.
In the areas where the vassals were actually controlled by the imperial court, the imperial court established vassal prefectures and prefectures. The Silk Road, which is now actually controlled by the Western Army, and its towns, ports, trunks, and natives were unified into military cities, military towns, military ports, and were designated as prefectures and counties, which were the prefectures and counties of the imperial court.
Under a ruling throne, there were actually economic prefectures and military towns directly under the imperial court, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. This was a mystery. It was even a bit similar to the imperial court's Grand Protectorate. The earliest court established the governor's office and prefectures, and then specially established a Zhenbei Prefecture as the administrative prefectures directly under the imperial court. Later, it expanded to seven economic prefectures one after another.
Now the court said that the Xindu Protectorate was established, and King Jubin was appointed as the Xindu Protectorate, but he certainly could not control the court's recent economic and military affairs, so Qin Xiaozhong suggested that the chief of the Xindu Protectorate and Sima of the imperial court be appointed as the official.
One government and two governances were governed by the capital, the governors and other local states, the chief ministers and the Sima Guan Tang people and the natives beside the city.
Xindu Changshi and Xindu Sima were in charge of Xindu Protectors of the civil and military officials in the inner Tang Dynasty.
"The long history of Xindu is stationed in Xinyangzhou Port, which facilitates strengthening trade, while the Sima of Xindu is stationed in the north......"
Qin Xiaozhong proposed that in order to strengthen the control of reliability, it is necessary to control the important passage between the Xindu River Basin and Tochar, located at the Khyber Pass of the Kyber Mountains. This is the most important passage for the Tochar region to enter the Xindu River and the Indian River, and the geography is very dangerous.
Especially when you come from Tocharo, it will be smooth.
Now to the west of the mountain pass is Huwen City, where the capital of Jubin is located, which is later Kabul. Going east along the Kabul River and crossing the Khyber Pass, it is the Peshawar Basin Plain, which is also the most important territory of Gandhara.
In the past, Greeks, Persians, Serbians, Kushans, White Huns and others all entered the east through this mountain pass.
Qin Xiaozhong proposed to build a Khyber Fortress here, just like Yanmen Pass or Tongguan, blocking this dangerous mountain pass.
At the same time, a new city is built on the plain east of the mountain pass, which not only serves as the support behind the pass, but also develops trade, and also uses the fertile basin plain to develop agriculture, providing money and grain for Guancheng nearby, and even providing money and grain for Kunlun Town, Paoling to the north.
If this pass and new city are built, it can also block more than a dozen small countries in the Xindu River Basin west of the Khyber Pass and east of the Daxue Mountains. They will be separated from him in the future and will be less affected.
Not to mention that after mastering this mountain pass, it will also control the trade routes tighter and completely occupy an active position, and can attack or defend.
This new Xindu City blocks the Khabel Pass fortress in the west, is close to the Xindu River in the east, and is the Kabul River and the Pamir Kunlun to the north. It has both fertile basins and dangerous mountains and rivers. It connects the central and western regions of the river and reaches Xinyangzhou directly along the river. It does not require many soldiers. After the construction of the Guanhe City, thousands of people stationed here, so it is stable.

Both prime ministers appreciated and supported this plan.
