Chapter 780. Rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions

Although I don't like the old Tartars of the Qing Dynasty, I have to admit that the territory of China in later generations was set by Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty to conquer Zhungeer several times, and for the second time since the Tang Dynasty, the connection between the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and the Central Plains was particularly strengthened, and then Wang Hou especially admired Zuo Zongtang Zuogong, under internal and external troubles, 70,000 lone soldiers carried the pressure of the corrupt Qing Dynasty and many great powers of Tsarist Russia and Britain, and brutally defeated hundreds of thousands of Central Asian thieves in Agubo and defended the precious territory of China.

The two Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, through the Silk Road, and established the Western Regions Protectorate, which seems to be brilliant, but in fact, the two Han Dynasty did not implement exact strong rule in this land, Ban Chao spanned the 36 countries for decades, and his troops were actually less than 5,000 people, and then the troops of the Protectorate were constantly weakened, unable to maintain the rule of the Han Empire in the Western Regions, and finally simply abolished for decades when the Qiang Rebellion occurred.

This time, Guanzhong's westward expansion can be regarded as the second time that the Central Plains Dynasty has attacked the Western Regions on such a large scale after Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, conquered Dawan, and this time Wang Hou is also ambitious, intending to completely incorporate the Western Regions into the rule of the Central Plains before the Tang Anxi Capital Protectorate.

For this western expedition, he prepared two echelons in front and rear, with more than 100,000 troops.

As the first echelon of the main force, there are tens of thousands of Black Mountain Hu Han infantry cavalry recruited from the Black Mountain State in Liaodong, or led by Zhang Yan's third son Zhang Yun, the Goguryeo Kingdom who has been emaciated into a thin camel was forced out by Wang Hou with 5,000 people, and Cao Zhang, the protector of the Western Regions, is a remnant army of 10,000 people from Xiahou Yuan's disabled half of the overlord's army, and the two fierce generals are also at his disposal, Zhang Jaw, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and Guo Huai, a fellow villager of Wang Hou Jinyang.

Then the entire Kansai region voluntarily enlisted tens of thousands of landlords in pursuit of honor, armed with 5,000 cavalry and more than 8,200 servants.

It's a pity that Xianbei can't milk anymore, and the military pressure caused by Rouran in the north even made Wang Hou have to transfer the Second Brigade of Liaodong to Guihua City to assist in defense, preventing his industrial base and railway transfer station on the grassland from being lost to the Rouran people!

It's really realistic, when they were poor, the Xianbei people were more vicious than anyone else, but in the past two years, the tribe enjoyed the profits of trade and quickly became rich, and the enterprising young people of the tribe were not transferred to Guanzhong by Wang Hou to the west, or followed the Xianbei One Piece to the south, this nomadic cavalry that left a strong mark in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period is now weak and can't even protect itself, and they actually have to hire the Hun cavalry of Jiuyuan to form a mercenary group to maintain their pastures north of Yinshan.

However, with this level of Xianbei, it is estimated that it is impossible to set off any more storms in the Central Plains.

The task of war is basically handed over to this first echelon to fight.

The second echelon is 100,000 people from Wancheng Luhun brought by Cao Zhang from the Central Plains, Wang Hou not only thinks about the problem of defeating, but also has to consider the problem of how to hold it, these soldiers and horses are like the production and construction corps of later generations, rooted in the oasis north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and continue the rule of the Han or the Great Wei.

This war has not yet started, but the industrial and commercial system under Wang Hou's command has been particularly stimulated first, and you have to have weapons to fight! When this order was sent, a large box and a large box of munitions from the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Center in Liaodong took the train to the west, and several major families that controlled the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Center made a lot of money.

Then there is the military rations, in later generations, Beida Cang is the largest commercial grain producing area in China, Zhang Yan of Montenegro made a fortune again, and the rice produced in the black soil of the vast Songnen Plain is also transported by railway in bags and bags, and the business is so good that Zhang Yan took the initiative to discuss with the Liaodong chaebols to widen the railway, and expanded the original single line to the third or even fourth line, and the four big trains ran together.

Then there is the milk powder from Guihua City, the felt used as tents, the woolen cloth for warmth, beef jerky, and canned fish from Qingzhou.

Piles of baggage were distributed to the overlord army in the descendant army, and they actually moved Zhang Jaw and Guo Huai to cry, a handful of snot and tears, this fucking is like a soldier, and the previous days were like a flower.

However, it was also because of so much preparation that in February, Guanzhong had issued a war mobilization order to the west, but when Wang Hou arrived in Dunhuang, most of the half year had passed, and it was not until August that the combat troops arrived on the battlefield.

Here, Wang Hou's expectation of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate team is complete, with more than 20 civil officials mainly Zhong Xuan, more than 40 military generals such as Zhang Jaw and Guo Huai, as well as the allied Black Mountain Zhang Yun, and the cannon fodder army Goguryeo Gao He, who is full of talents and strong soldiers.

And then the situation is really good, the former Western Regions Governor Shi Wang Shuang is too Timo to give power, under his wise management, the remaining Western Regions several major powers are all reversed! 510 Literature

It is not to blame Wang Shuang, the expansionism he pursued, strengthened the management rights of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion over various countries, and ordered the subject countries to pay tribute, which naturally caused irreconcilable contradictions with many oasis powers.

Here, who has the big fist and who is the boss of the forest law is also vividly embodied, most of the time, seen in the king of Khotan to kill the king of Jimi, lost the Hanzhong Han didn't even care, all as the old man to carry the big man can't do it, Qiuzi, Shule, Shache, Tianshan North Che Shiguo then withdrew the flag, all Timo anti-Han!

Dunhuang Taishou Mansion, so low that it doesn't look like an official mansion in the loess wall hall, kneeling on the ground, the voice of the former chief Shi Wangshuang echoed in the air.

"Daxingtai, the end will be incompetent! In Khotan captured the front station of my Loulan Duhufu, Qiuzi Shule killed my Han officials and envoys, Shache expelled my Han officials out of the country, and set up a card in the north after the Cheshi country, and levied heavy taxes on my Han caravan passing through the territory of the Cheshi, and now only a few small countries such as Jingjue, Puzhi, Qule, and Pishan are loyal to my Han and are still resisting the invasion of Khotan and other countries! ”

No wonder later Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai free shipping, Xinjiang no matter what, from Chang'an to Wuwei Dunhuang, Wang Hou felt far enough, but looking at the map, from Dunhuang to Khotan, it seems that the distance is farther than Chang'an to Guanzhong, and this road is not comparable to the Central Plains, the desert Gobi is one after another, no wonder here for so many years in history, is not to form their own unified empire.

However, listening to Wang Shuang's depressed kneeling report, Wang Hou didn't think so, slapped casually, pointed at Cao Zhang, and said.

"The King of Wei rebuilt the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, with the third prince Cao Zhang as the Western Regions Protector, he is your Shangguan! Please ask for sin, you also need to find Cao Duhu, you don't have to find this seat. ”

was pushed to the foreground all of a sudden, and Cao Zhang, who had just emerged from the political stage, saw Wang Shuang kneeling in front of him with a respectful one-knee military salute, obviously blindfolded, here, the team that Cao Cao built for him played a role again, and Shi Zhongxuan, the governor of the Western Regions who replaced Wang Shuang, followed with a heavy fist.

"Dadu Hu, although the countries of the Western Regions have rebelled, but their subordinates believe that the blame is not on General Wang Shuang, it is all because the army of the Duhu Mansion is marching and ordering him not to act rashly! What do you think? ”

Zhong Xuan's ability to be the prime minister of Wei is really reasonable, he understands the etiquette of his subordinates very well, analyzes the problem, but does not give his own judgment, and leaves the judgment to the leader, sure enough, listening to his analysis, Cao Zhang, the great leader of the Western Regions, has successfully taken the first fire of the new official to take office and win the hearts of the people! Nodding, Cao Zhang's extraordinarily tolerant sleeves waved.

"General Wang, please take it, the blame is not on you, but on the overall situation! And these rebels from the country rebelled, and if they didn't rebel, what did our army do for themselves? ”

"Xie Dadu Protector!"

This voice raised his spirit, and the voice of Wang Shuang was a little louder, holding his fist, he was full of energy and bowed his head heavily, and then the armor stood up violently, and retreated in the group of generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

However, after the first fire was burned, Cao Zhang was stuck again, and everyone looked at him, leaning on Wang Hou's side with a weak heart.

"Brother-in-law, how do you say to fight!"

This Lu Buwei is really not good, Cao Cao wanted him to cultivate a great Wei prince, and he really threw a big burden with him, but in desperation, Wang Hou was silent and said indifferently.

"How? The 30,000-strong army is in your hands, and you can fight as you want!! ”
