A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 353 Miracles Created in Beppu in the Western Regions

The reform of the clan continues to advance, and the emperor's will cannot be changed.Even though many local powerful people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to complain at all.

Originally, these local tycoons were large households in various counties. Even if the court restricted the tycoons, they could grow and occupy more land, population and other resources.

Now, several families suddenly came, and not only were they allocated land, but they were also provided with weapons and armor, and they were also officially connected. This made other local tycoons how to compete with them.

Official methods cannot be used, but if they really take action, how can they stop these people from the public clan with swords and armor?
Da Gan does not prohibit swords, bows and arrows, but it prohibits armor, crossbows and long swords.In cold weapon combat, there is a world of difference in combat effectiveness between those with armor and those without armor.

Such a few strong men with armor and weapons can walk sideways in the county.The local powerful can only hold their noses and admit it. Fortunately, the county is large enough to accommodate it, but they can no longer be as unscrupulous as before.

Wang Ke gave these public children opportunities and resources. How far they can grow in the end depends on their respective fortunes.

In the Western Regions, as Wang Zhuo continued to send some items and letters, Wang Ke had a clearer understanding of the Western Regions.

In the past, some merchants went to the Western Regions to do business, but due to lack of strength, most of them stopped in the vast sea.So the knowledge of the desolation of the Western Region was spread.

Of course, a large part of this was intentional by these merchants. They came to the Western Regions, and although they did not go deep into it, they discovered that the Western Regions were rich in gems and jade.

After discovering that the extremely valuable gems and jade in the Central Plains were commonplace in the Western Regions, these businessmen hid the news in a tacit understanding. They only said that the Western Regions were desolate and never mentioned the fact that the Western Regions were rich in gold, jade and precious stones.

Wang Ke knew that although there was Gobi Desert in the Western Region, it was also an extremely beautiful land with towering mountains, endless rivers, lush Populus euphratica forests, vast grasslands, and countless lands suitable for farming.

But even if he told others about the situation in the Western Regions, those people would only think that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to send them thousands of miles away in the Western Regions.

Faced with this situation, Wang Ke could not force people to go to the Western Regions.But later, after receiving advice from the ancestors during a sacrifice to heaven and ancestors, he changed his mind and wanted to manage the Western Region into his own back garden.

The Western Region is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Transportation is inconvenient, and it is blocked by the vast sea desert. The connection with the Central Plains is not close. At the same time, there is land suitable for farming, and the strength of other surrounding countries is also very limited. It can be used as a private land for the Wang family. .

So Wang Ke began to increase his support for the Western Regions, sending more people to the Western Regions to open up the Western Regions.

Originally, Wang Zhuo only brought 400 people to the Western Regions. Over the years, he traveled almost all over the Western Regions and occupied a territory in the Western Regions.

This piece of land is not large and does not produce much. There are tens of thousands of acres of arable land.Back then, Wang Zhuo led two hundred Yulin Guards across the Western Regions and taught the surrounding countries a lesson before becoming the master of this land.

The distance to the Western Regions was long, logistical supplies were difficult, and the Huns were harassing them, making it basically impossible for a large army to march westward.Therefore, an elite western expedition of a few hundred people is the best way.

In a previous life, during the Western Han Dynasty's Western Expedition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an army of [-] people. As a result, he lost many troops and generals, and the logistical pressure almost caused the army to collapse.

Later, after taking control of the Western Regions, the Western Regions Protectorate was established. The Han court only stationed a few thousand soldiers because it was too far away from the Central Plains and the logistics could not keep up.At the same time, most of these Western Region countries are small countries with a population of less than 2 or [-] people. The Western Region Protectorate only needs a few thousand elites to conquer all directions.Unless those countries in the Western Regions can work together and unite with the Huns, they will have a chance.

The Western Region Protectorate can definitely win over several countries and guard the Western Region.

It's just that this method of governance is basically Jisi rule, just like the Jisi state established by the Tang Dynasty on the remote border. It only belongs to the Tang Dynasty in name. The affairs of the state and county are still ruled by the original people, and the taxes paid are also Very few.

During the Tang Dynasty, the military force was prosperous, and the government soldiers attacked all directions, but the four towns of Anxi together only had more than 2 people.You must know that at that time, the Tang Dynasty had occupied most of the Western Regions, and was not ruled by Ji Sui.

However, such a powerful four towns in Anxi still needed continuous blood transfusions from the Central Plains. When the Central Plains underwent great changes and large armies were mobilized to come back for reinforcements, without the blood transfusions from the Central Plains, the four towns in Anxi were quickly occupied by foreigners.

Seriously speaking, the rule of the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty over the Western Regions was not very stable, and the natives of the Western Regions were also capricious, sometimes surrendering and sometimes rebelling.

Didn’t the ancestors at that time know that people who were not from my race would have different minds?Why not kill them all?
Could it be that our ancestors had benevolent hearts?Or didn't expect this?
In fact, it's not that they don't want to do it, it's just that they can't do it.

The cost of sending the Central Plains army is too high, and it also needs to be stationed for a long time. To maintain an army of [-] miles away, the amount of food, grass and baggage consumed can be said to be extremely astonishing.

The Western Region is too vast. If we send fewer people, we cannot control so many places. There will be many careerists who rebel. But if we send too many people, the logistics cannot support it.

The only way to control the Western Region is to immigrate a large number of people from Zhuxia. When the people of Zhuxia account for [-]% of the population in the Western Region, Zhuxia will be able to control the Western Region.

Of course, there is another method, which was used by a great country that appeared in the Western Regions in the previous life - religious belief.

Use force to force the people here to believe in a religion, and then use the power of religion to rule.

However, religion is a double-edged sword that can control those people. The same mistake can easily be backlashed by religion, causing theocratic power to overwhelm imperial power.

This time Wang Ke drew eight hundred families, and each of these families had a Yulin Guard.According to their weapons and equipment, they can completely destroy some countries, and even the so-called Shanyu of the Huns can defeat them.

Wang Ke sent eight hundred households to support Wang Zhuo.Wang Zhuo has been operating in the Western Regions for several years, and thousands of natives from the Western Regions have joined him to farm and provide logistics.

After receiving support from Wang Ke this time, the number of Yulin Guards in Wang Zhuo's hands reached 1000, and their strength increased greatly.

At the same time, Wang Ke also sent over the treasure [Eye of Spring Water]. With this Eye of Spring Water, Wang Zhuo can immediately turn the surrounding Gobi Desert into a large oasis. By then, this will be a part of the Wang family. The place of foundation.

At the same time, divine objects such as [Eye of Spring Water] can completely create a miracle, or even directly create a religion.At that time, it will depend on Wang Zhuo's operation.
