"Haha, I didn't expect that I would also be able to meet the double happiness."

The inner courtyard of the former Anxi Protectorate's Mansion was converted into a royal palace in the capital of Kucha of the Ming Dynasty. Richard's heartfelt laughter spread throughout the courtyard.

Since Richard established himself as the King of Ming Dynasty, there has been few such a happy time. Even if he unified the Western Regions, he is not as happy as he is now!

In early January 6, the Ming Dynasty, Richard received two good news at the same time.

The first is that the nomadic people in the Beiting Protectorate, which he regarded as the greatest threat, were almost exterminated by the green skin!

You should know that because of the nomadic people in the Beiting Protectorate area, Richard did not dare to touch the Long family at all, and could only let him rely on Yanqi Army Town as the core to train troops and cultivate land to accumulate strength.

Now, the biggest reliance of the Long family has disappeared. Even the An Lushan army, which has connections with the Long family, has mostly focused on the green-skinned army that has moved south in the snowfields in the north.

The Great Yan Dynasty established by An Lushan is facing the most severe test. The main force of the Yan army, which originally had the advantage in the Central Plains battlefield, was withdrawn by An Lushan and transferred to the northern line to prevent the millions of green-skinned troops going south.

Due to the situation, the Great Yan Dynasty had to start peace with the Tang Dynasty. Although the two sides did not reach a specific agreement, the large-scale military confrontation in the Central Plains had ended.

The nomadic people closest to the Western Regions are over. The Dayan established by An Lushan doesn't even care about the Tang Dynasty, the old enemy, and will not focus on Richard's Ming Dynasty. This shows that the hidden dangers in the eastern dynasty have been completely eliminated.

The second good news is that after returning to the Tufan tribe, although Songtsen Gampo temporarily stabilized the situation in the Tufan Kingdom with the money and goods obtained from the looting, after three years of strong oppression by Songtsen Gampo and the centralized power collection, the suppressed Tufan tribes finally could not bear it and a comprehensive uprising against Songtsen Gampo broke out!

The uprising area was spread throughout the Tufan Kingdom. Even if Songtsen Gampo had a powerful imperial guard, it would not be able to be extinguished for a while. The Tufan Kingdom, like the Tang Dynasty, was trapped in a tragic civil war...

Throughout history, civil wars have often caused the greatest harm to national strength and population. After the end of the Tufan Civil War, no matter who wins, the national strength will decline greatly. Even the Tufan tribe warriors with the largest number of Tufan Kingdom will probably be exhausted in the civil war!

It can be said that the Tufan Kingdom has completely lost its ability to expand externally in the next few decades.

However, the Tufan civil war was also an opportunity for the Tufan people. If Songtsen Gampo could win, he could completely ban the Tufan tribal system in the name of rebellion, complete the process of transformation to a feudal centralized system, and establish a centralized imperial country belonging to the Tufan people in a true sense.

The premise is that Songtsen Gampo can win the final victory of the civil war and will not be disturbed by external forces...

Obviously, if others don’t say it, Richard alone will not agree!

He vigorously rectified his internal affairs, and did not hesitate to ruin his reputation and deceived the local gentry class to hand over his armed forces. He also used legal situations such as taxation to dig a big hole for the local gentry class, so that their power would decline completely, and achieved absolute concentration of rights in the Western Regions. Isn’t it just to gather all forces to expand externally?

Although Richard's actions in the Western Regions would arouse the disgust of the gentry classes in other regions, the rear of Richard in the Western Regions has truly stabilized. Richard successfully established a bureaucratic system to manage local Han gentry, Han gentry and local governments jointly suppress the Seme serfs.

Of course, not all Seme people in the Western Regions are serfs. The Seme soldiers who joined the auxiliary army can obtain the status of free men, which is considered a benefit for Richard's war.

Today's auxiliary army is no longer the initial force of cannon fodder. Everything has been institutionalized. Although it cannot escape the status of second-class soldiers, it is much higher than that of ordinary people.

The arrival of two good news is a complete lifting of the confinement of the Western Regions. The northern part of the Western Regions controlled by Richard is the deserted Gobi Desert, which is well separated from the green-skinned orcs in the snowy field in the Great Northern.

Even the green-skinned orcs who can photosynthesis cannot march in the desert environment for a long time because the green-skinned orcs need to drink water to maintain their lives!

Except for the Undead Legion, the desert is an absolute forbidden area for all living beings!

The northern desert is the natural barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

In the east, there was the Great Yan established by An Lushan blocking the road to the south. The Ming Dynasty was safe for a period of time. There was not even a formed country to the west, so there was naturally no danger.

The Tufan Kingdom in the south was caught in a civil war, and now it has become a piece of meat that Richard has raised in the pot. When will the situation of the civil war in the Tufan become clear? The Tufan people are almost dead, and it is when Richard goes south!

The external environment has become so beautiful that Richard can finally take action to solve the problem of the Long family.

In areas without the control of Yanqi Military Town, a country that is not a formal kingdom in the systematic certification of the Central and Western Regions is not considered a formal kingdom. Richard, the Ming Dynasty king, could not gain system recognition, and naturally could not activate king-level authority.

Therefore, no matter what, the Yanqi area must be taken into the hands of the Ming Dynasty!

In early February of the 6th year of the Ming Dynasty, in the old house of the Yanqi army, Long Batian persuaded his father with confusion: "Father, we still have tens of thousands of elite armored soldiers who can raise tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers to fight with the army anytime and anywhere. Relying on the city defense of Yanqi army, it may not be impossible to block Richard's military attack.

Why do we escape from Yanqi?

Although we can take away most of the army and wealth, our Long family's business in Yanqi will probably be ruined!

As long as my father handed me the ten thousand armored elites, I will definitely make Richard's army come and go!"

Long Batian knelt on the ground and shouted with excitement on his face.

"Oh, you don't know anything. Now no one in the Western Regions can cause trouble for Richard. Even those local tycoons were killed and destroyed by Richard. Richard, who had no worries, could easily draw 100,000 troops to conquer us!

The army of 100,000 is at least 30,000, which are armored Han soldiers similar to the main force of our Long Family Army. The remaining auxiliary soldiers are veterans left in the bloody battle with the Tufan people, not to mention the unknown number of Taoist soldiers in Richard's hands.

What is our Long family fighting with Richard?

Is it just relying on Yanqi's urban defense system?

Richard is not a kind king. He can send people to recruit a large number of young and strong attacks. Even if he dies tens of thousands of young and strong, Richard will not blink.

If we do not agree to Richard's conditions, the day when Yanqi City is destroyed is the time when our Long family destroys the clan!"
