Chapter 781 The Spoils of War (Part [-])
"This is the 50-year armistice treaty signed with Tsarist Russia and Kazakhstan and the border line agreed by the three parties. Please take a look at it." Xu Shi, Wu Keshan, Sun Sheng and others proudly presented a series of documents to Chu Yun for review.

"War is an extension of politics. Tsarist Russia and the Kazakh Khanate were able to sign this treaty in exchange for the lives of you and the soldiers at the front." Chu Yun simply browsed through these documents.

According to the agreement of Tsarist Russia and the Kazakh Khanate, the territory controlled by the Kyushu Army reached the front line of Ili, Ob River and Tianshan Mountain.In addition to restoring the previously controlled areas, the biggest gain is the occupation of the Siberian region west of the Ob River, bringing two-thirds of the Siberian region under control.

"The success of the front-line operations is due to the fact that we have advanced firearms, and the logistics supplies are sufficient. The soldiers on the front line can not be stingy with bullets, and for the first time they used hand-cranked machine guns, which had a huge deterrent effect on the Tsarist Russians." Siberia Pioneering Regiment Deputy head Chen Xiaode said.

"No matter how advanced a weapon is, it needs well-trained soldiers to use it, otherwise it will be to send weapons to the enemy." Chu Yun said.

The Kyushu Army's frequent victories in wars are not only due to the superficial level of advanced weapons, but also the Kyushu Army has used modern tactics and soldier training techniques, breaking away from the backward organizational capabilities and low morale of the classical army.

At present, the Kyushu Army has such a large territory, and the standing army is only about 20. The rest are basically headhunters owned by every province, and the total number is only tens of thousands.

However, with a standing army of about 20, just picking out a regiment at random can defeat the enemy several times or even ten times.

In contrast, the logistics department has become huge. The logistics department has been thinking about how to continuously transport ammunition, food, grass and other resources to the front line.

"The team of the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions was completed in the past year. At present, the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions has been put into operation. Private schools are being built, the Silk Road is being re-dredged, and the local area is connected with the hinterland of the Central Plains as much as possible. At the same time, our corps of various ministries are stationed in the Western Regions. To meet the needs of military rations and help build local resources. I think if the eldest lady is here, it would be better for her to report the construction situation of the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions. Except for the construction of the farmland, we warriors did not intervene too much in the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions Other matters. The eldest lady entered the city first, I thought I had already arrived at the military lord's mansion, and now I don't know where I went." Xu Shi looked at Dayuer's brother Wu Keshan depressedly.

Originally, Da Yuer was a diplomat sent by the capital to sign the treaty, and later stayed in Urumqi to oversee the establishment of the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions. In theory, Da Yuer was indeed responsible for reporting to Chu Yun.

Wu Keshan was very calm, not worried at all because of the disappearance of his sister.

Chu Yun also pretended not to know that Da Yuer was probably staying with Ella and the others in the backyard now.

"The scope of the Western Regions is too large. It will be managed by the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions for the time being, and will be divided into several provinces in the future." Chu Yun thought that the Western Regions mentioned now have reached the Arctic Ocean in the north and the Himalayas in the south. The provinces of Zhungeer, Tubo, Siberia, and Qinghai will be better.

"Batur and Gushi Khan welcome you to join our Huaxia Kyushu system." Chu Yun looked at the two chiefs of the Zhungeer tribe and the Heshuote tribe.

"It's our honor." Batur and Gushi Khan said.

After arriving in the capital, the two people who were shocked by the prosperity of the capital were almost completely convinced. In comparison, their nomadic life was far behind.

"I remember that as a consideration, the Moxi Cavalry Regiment should also be established. I wonder if it is already qualified to go to the battlefield?" Chu Yun asked.

"My lord, our Moxi Cavalry Regiment is a cavalry regiment formed by the most heroic warriors of the Zhungeer Tribe, Heshuote Tribe and other tribes. After more than a year of firearms training, we can completely compete with the Monan Cavalry. Regiment and Mobei Cavalry Regiment have become the sharpest long swords in your hands, military lord." Batur said.

"Does the military leader plan to continue the western expedition, just like Gao Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty or half of Genghis Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and expand our influence to the Central Asian region west of Congling?" Sun Chuanting took the initiative to ask Chu Yun asked.

Chu Yun looked around at these generals who had tasted the sweetness, and felt their belligerence.Most of them hope that they will continue to march westward and plunder more land.Because of the generation gap in technology and soldier training, the number of people killed during the Western Expedition was still very small, which made them yearn for military exploits and fame.

"With our military strength, it is easy to fight down, but it is very difficult to govern. Central Asia is too far away from us, attacking them will not bring us much benefit, and we have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to stay behind, It is not in our interests," Chu Yun said.

Xu Shi, Sun Chuanting, Wu Keshan and other main fighters were somewhat disappointed.They were mainly in charge of the Western Front.If the Western Front really maintains a 50-year armistice, then they may end up with no fighting in their lives.

"But it depends on how the times change. If the train can reach Central Asia by then, our army can quickly deploy there. With the train providing supplies, the cost of control will be much lower. At present, our focus is temporarily Put it above domestic stability and development," Chu Yun said.

If he really wanted to attack the Western Regions, Chu Yun believed that he could send an army from Yili to the Mediterranean Sea right now.However, occupation without benefits is meaningless. What can attract Chu Yun is the oil resources along the coast of Central Asia and the Persian Gulf, and the water and land resources provided by the Ganges Plain in South Asia.

"This subordinate understands." Sun Chuanting said.

"The officers on the southern front will return to the capital in two days, and I will celebrate with you at that time." Chu Yun said about the people on the southern battlefield, "Their trophies are not quite the same as yours."

"What kind of spoils are the people on the southern front?" Xu Shi and others wondered.

"They will bring the captive kings of the Nanyang countries to the capital." Chu Yun replied.

"The king of the Nanyang countries!" The generals on the western front looked at each other in dismay.Although the territory they acquired on the western front was almost the same as that on the southern front, the southern front was credited with destroying the country after all, and they also captured all the captured kings to the capital.The quality of these kings varies, but they all bear the title of king.

"How many kings have been captured by the people on the southern front?" Xu Shi and others asked.

"Two Annan Kingdoms, two Siam Kingdoms, Toungoo Kingdoms, Chenla Kingdoms, Qiya Kingdoms, and Perak Kingdoms... probably more than a dozen." Chu Yun counted.
