However, the Tang Dynasty royal family naturally would not sit still and wait for death. They could not own the world. It would be good to be able to maintain a foundation in the chaotic world that was divided and chaotic.

As a result, Yang Guifei, one of the culprits of An Lushan's rebellion, was introduced to take the blame.

When An Lushan raised an army to rebel and conquered the cities and plundered the land, the Yang family, the strongest relative of the Tang Dynasty, was also devastatingly liquidated.

Because the Yang family had been in conflict with An Lushan before and suppressed An Lushan at court meetings many times, many people in the Tang Dynasty and the royal family said that the Yang family forced An Lushan to rebel!

Especially when An Lushan won all the way and the troops were approaching Chang'an City, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty pulled the Yang family out as a scapegoat in order to calm the public's anger. The prime minister of the Yang family was beaten to the end, and the entire family was confiscated and imprisoned. The most favored Yang Guifei was even more miserable...

Well, Yang Guifei disappeared after she fell out of favor!

Of course, during the announcement, it was Yang Guifei who was ordered to commit suicide and cremated...

After An Lushan withdrew his troops, few people in the Tang Dynasty were concerned about the Yang family who had been confiscated and imprisoned, so naturally no one would pay attention to Yang Guifei, who had announced to the public that she had died.

In the end, An Lushan did not send one person to support Xizhou. Instead, he began to retreat from the east of Xizhou to a large extent the wealth of the garrison and officials!

However, An Lushan did not do anything. He handed over an order to the Long family. Long Letian was named the prince by An Lushan. His fiefs include the entire Xizhou and more than ten prefectures including Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, and Suzhou, Yizhou, Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, east of Xizhou!

Long Letian, who was confused, was promoted to the largest and unprecedented county prince in the fiefdom of the Great Yan King in just one hour!

And An Lushan’s only request for him was to block the Ming army’s invasion!

Of course, the prefecture that was granted to the Long family could not be handed over to the Long family members intact. Before the handover, An Lushan mobilized all local forces and began to migrate a large number of young and strong and official wealth.

Of course, not everyone in An Lushan migrated, so it is too expensive and it is impossible to do it. After all, most people do not want to migrate long distances...

For the lower class, leaving their hometown is equivalent to losing their only possessions and being a beggar in other places!

The young and strong man who moved An Lushan was actually the army reserve and the government yamen militia he formed.

During the migration process, these people would also bring their relatives with them, of course, including a large number of local wealthy families who followed An Lushan.

Who said that the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions treated local wealthy families too poorly? They were divided into acres and increased land taxes, and they were often confiscated and killed!

Compared to An Lushan's rule, the Ming Kingdom under Richard is simply a hell of landlords and gentry!

Therefore, the more the local wealthy family is, the more they must follow An Lushan's footsteps and migrate, unless they are so stubborn that they want to fight with the Ming army, who are invincible in the Western Regions...

Everyone can see that the prince of the Long family seemed to be arrogant, but in fact it was cannon fodder thrown by An Lushan, in order to intercept or delay Richard's invasion.

An Lushan's basic structure is mainly in Yingzhou and Youzhou generations, because the geography of the other world is extremely similar to that of the earth, probably equivalent to the Liaoshen region and Northern Zhili on the earth. This is the place where An Lushan made his fortune!

There are wealthy families supporting An Lushan everywhere here, and An Lushan doesn’t have to leave many troops to station. As long as you let go of local regiment training, a large number of landlords will rise and help An Lushan guard his family.

Moreover, most of An Lushan's soldiers came from these two areas. If you guard these two places, the officers and soldiers under An Lushan's command will definitely increase their combat effectiveness by a higher level.

Defending homeland and invading outside is a completely different concept for soldiers.

Going out to fight is to grab food, money, and women to get rich, but guarding your hometown is to protect your only property and relatives!

The soldiers naturally have a scale in their hearts, whether fighting for parents, brothers, wife and children, or working for money.

An Lushan's strategic deployment is still very reliable and wise. His main force cannot be defeated in fierce battle with Green Skin, otherwise his hometown will be over.

Since the main force cannot be drawn to attack the Ming army, we naturally can only shrink our defense. After shrinking to a certain level, the Ming army's controlled area will border the green skin going south!

At that time, the Ming army will naturally fight against the Green Skin Detachment along with Yan State.

An Lushan, who has reduced his strength, has more reserve soldiers to recruit and train. The local wealthy families who migrated here are An Lushan's reserve wealth. In this era, the wealthy families are the capital for mobile. Even if the land is abandoned, the accumulation of wealth over the years is enough to allow them to have a huge amount of wealth.

The migration of local wealthy families is different from ordinary civilians. When they arrive in new places, they have to spend money to buy houses and land, re-establish relations with local governments, and even spend money to do business, buy shops, etc.

These trading behaviors are a source of wealth for the rulers!

Therefore, An Lushan, a wealthy family and young and strong civilians who migrate to occupy the area, are actually plundering population and money!

But the scale is not very large...

The biggest victim of An Lushan's doing this is not Richard, but the Long family!

An Lushan is equivalent to removing the power of local governments and wealthy families. If the Long family wants to regain their strength in the newly obtained fiefdom, it will inevitably take a lot of time and energy to reorganize, but will Richard give the Long family time?

This kind of migration was instructed by An Lushan, and the Long family could not intercept it at all!

The only purpose of these extra prefectures to the Long family is to give the Long family a long strategic depth. Even if Xizhou is defeated, there is still a place to retreat...

The moment he received the imperial edict of An Lushan, the Long family knew about the "heavy task" he was given.

It is impossible to surrender to Richard. The Long family is not a fool. They just rejected Richard fiercely and completely offended the Ming King who killed people without blinking. At this time, even if the family will not be confiscated and exterminated, they will inevitably be suppressed and weakened by Richard in the future...

Richard, who believed in centralization, would not allow the Long Family to exist in public or private.

In this case, the Long family made the worst plan. When Long Letian concentrated all his strength to stay in Xizhou City, where the Long family had the deepest foundation, he sent Long Batian and half of the Long family members out. In name, he took over the power in the fiefdom he had just obtained. In fact, he was going there to reorganize the new government order and to raise an armed force at all costs!

The young and strong people who migrated An Lushan only accounted for a small part. If the Long family made up their minds, they could still force many young and strong people to join the army.
