On January 1, 3rd, the Ming Dynasty, Richard officially established Kucha as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Richard had long been proclaimed as King of Ming Dynasty, he had never officially established his capital. He was too embarrassed when he was independent. Richard spent most of his time fighting against the outside world, so he did not build his capital.

Starting from the independence of the Anguo Mansion, Richard captured Kangguo Mansion in June of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, opening a new chapter in history of rapid expansion. Then, in August, he successively settled the American government, Shiguo Mansion, and completed the first restricted massacre...

In October, he won a great victory in the decisive battle with Yuchi Yingzhe, a Duke of Khotan, who was conferred by the Tubo people. The cities under the control of the Yuchi family surrendered without fighting, which attracted the covetousness of the Tubo people.

Then the Tubo people fought a decisive battle with Richard. The three alliances launched a full-scale war with Richard. After more than a year of fighting back and forth, the Ming army general Yuchi family was destroyed, and the Tubo people retreated to the Tufan Kingdom. The Yanqi's Long family surrendered and retreated to the Yanqi army town, becoming the eastern barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, after a series of pursuit of remnants of enemies and incorporating local small forces, the entire Western Regions were placed under the rule of Richard at the end of the second year of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Richard chose to build a capital in Kucha City on January 1, 3rd, and the Ming Dynasty initially settled the Western Regions.

In order not to arouse hatred by the Tang Dynasty royal family, Richard did not further proclaim himself emperor, but simply established a kingdom.

Even An Lushan was not called emperor. At this time, it was not only good to be called emperor, but could only attract a large group of enemies!

Perhaps the Tang royal family between Beiting Protectorate and An Lushan could not directly send troops to wipe out Richard, but Beiting Protectorate and An Lushan could join forces to destroy the arrogant people who claimed to be emperor...

In East Asia, the title system is very sensitive. There can be a number of kings in the world, but the emperor only allows one. Once he becomes emperor, he must destroy the hatred of the other party and the whole family!

Moreover, once you become emperor, if you do not have a certain strength, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the surrounding forces and cause siege.

This is also the reason why An Lushan did not proclaim himself emperor. At this time, in addition to the central army of the royal family, the Tang Dynasty also had independent local princes and governors. They did not conquer the world and proclaim themselves emperors, which would only attract hostility!

At least before the fall of Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty royal family represented orthodoxy!

After Richard established the capital, the first thing he did was to reorganize the auxiliary corps. Because the auxiliary corps made great contributions in the battle with the Tubo people (there were tens of thousands of people dead!), Richard officially reorganized the auxiliary corps into a permanent regular army and applied the rank system in the field corps!

However, Richard did not announce the military merits of the auxiliary legion soldiers, nor did he say that he would not give them land. While reorganizing the auxiliary legion, he also began to plunder gold and silver, carry out currency reforms, and gather the Tang coins of the people.

Richard's monetary reform has very good reasons. The Western Regions have changed hands, so naturally he cannot continue to adopt the currency of the Tang Kingdom!

Richard started to recycle Tang coins at a low price with the gold and silver plundered in the war. The Western Regions have been pacified, and even the Yanqi Long family, who owns his own army, dared not refute Richard's monetary reform!

Everyone knows that after the monetary reform, the Ming Dynasty could obtain generous seigniorage tax, but it only dared to be jealous and not dared to violate it...

After the monetary reform, Richard released another big move to reorganize the local garrison legion!

Richard first drew out the local garrison corps and used the surviving field corps officers and soldiers as the backbone to rebuild the Ming Field Army.

The local garrison legions were all ready-made. After being drawn, they were reorganized and quickly formed three field legions of 10,000 people.

Because the officers and soldiers of the garrison army have all been given military merits, Richard doesn't even need to pay too much!

With a field legion with more than 30,000 people, plus the auxiliary legion with more than 60,000 people after the reorganization and reorganization, as well as the Taoist soldiers in the headquarters, Richard suddenly had 100,000 more troops to fight!

Whether it is a field legion or an auxiliary legion that has experienced the war elimination system, they are regular troops that can fight tough battles, and are not comparable to ordinary mercenaries and militias.

After reconstruction, Richard immediately spread the equipment of a field group and two auxiliary groups to various prefectures and counties in the Western Regions, and also displayed thousands of skeleton soldiers created by Genevieve to the Han gentry class in the Western Regions.

Richard sent a clear signal to the Western Regions - I am very strong, don’t mess with me!

This kind of political show is very necessary. The real army of 100,000 and the Skeleton Legion may not have been able to pull out 100,000 regular troops even during the Tang Dynasty!

Not to mention that the Western Regions have just passed the war, and a quarter of the territory has been ruined by the Tubo people. No one inhabited by the people of Semen or Han gentry has escaped the fate...

The plunder of the Tubo people invisibly reduced the overall strength of the local Han gentry class.

After a large-scale reorganization movement, Richard issued a number of decrees, extending the tentacles of the government to the private soldiers of the local Han gentry class.

The reason given by Richard was that because of wars and the lack of personnel in local garrison troops, the Han gentry class needed to work together to form a local garrison army, that is, the Han gentry class contributed their people and even paid money to pull out their own guards to form a garrison army!

This behavior of making money by making money will naturally be opposed. Richard had already expected that he did not want to go to war with the Han gentry class in the Western Regions, but he just did not want to have a large number of civilian armed forces in the Western Regions that were beneficial to the government.

The formation of a local guard army, Richard, offered many temptation conditions that the Han gentry class could not refuse.

Richard allowed the children of Han gentry to enter the local garrison army to serve as the main officer position, and allowed the local garrison army to serve as the escort guard of the local caravan for a long time.

The first article allows the Han gentry class members from the people to enter the army to gain real power, while the second article dispels the concerns of the Han gentry class after losing their servants' guards.

The reason why the guardians of the Han gentry class in the Western Regions was stronger than that of the Central Plains was not because the Han gentry class always wanted to rebel, but because the wilderness in the Western Regions was full of green skins and wild orcs, and in order to protect the caravan, they had to form their own civilian armed forces.

Therefore, Richard gave the conditions that as long as the Han gentry class is willing to hand over all the servants' guards and the escorts controlled by his subordinates, he can enter the local Han people's municipal committee and have the right to propose that the local garrison army guard their own caravans.

Yes, during the rectification, Richard also established a private political participation institution - the Local Han Municipal Committee.

This is part of the political power that the local Han gentry class gave over their own military power.
