Become a feudal king from today

"Western Region Protectorate!" Chen Hu was stunned. Reading

After King Yan conquered Luzon, he established the Southern Region Protectorate in Luzon.

The generals in the army were also spreading this matter, and many people envied the navy.

Because this Protectorate is equivalent to the Suzaku Azure Dragon and other armies, responsible for guarding one side.

There are also rumors that in the future, as the Dasong army expands its territory, other Protectorates will be established.

The five armies such as Baihu and Qinglong will also change from just guarding the territory of Dasong to being responsible for one Protectorate and supervising a wider area.

So, when King Yan said that he would be responsible for the Western Region Protectorate independently, he was really flattered.

This means that he will be like Qin Shan, Guan Tong and others, and he will be able to take charge of his own affairs.

Chang Wei and Yang Feng looked at each other and nodded after hearing this.

They also agreed with Zhao Xu's decision.

It is not appropriate for the White Tiger Army and the Black Tortoise Army to be in charge of the Western Region Protectorate.

Because the terrain from the northern grassland to the Western Region is very vast, but also very desolate.

Sometimes there is even no one living for thousands of miles.

Compared with the five armies dominated by infantry, the lancers in charge of Chen Hu are obviously more suitable for governing the entire grassland, and at the same time continue to expand westward to expand the sphere of influence of Dasong to the Western Regions.

"You heard it right, I will let you be in charge of the Western Regions Protectorate. After this battle, the lancers of each army will return to each army, and you will recruit some more soldiers to supplement your troops to 100,000, 80,000 cavalry, and 20,000 infantry." Zhao Xu smiled.

Like the Southern Region Protectorate, he prepared to adapt to local conditions for the areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Taking advantage of the cold winter season now, let Chen Hu expand the army and train. In the early spring of next year, he will let Chen Hu sweep across the grassland, take the entire northern grassland, and continue to move westward, all the way to the Western Region of Tianshan.

For this vast area, like Nanzhanzhou, he will let the court send officials to directly govern it and completely merge it into Dasong.

And going further west is related to his strategic layout in the Middle Earth.

According to the intelligence collected by the four academies, Ashur has been fighting a country called Tusman in the Western Regions for many years.

Moreover, it has suffered a series of defeats in recent years and lost a lot of territory.

It can be said that the entire core area of ​​​​Middle Earth is now controlled by Tusman, and it has a tendency to continue to invade.

This is also one of the reasons why he is eager to establish the Western Region Protectorate.

Another reason is that with the advent of the electric power industry era and the breakthrough of technologies such as internal gas, Dasong will definitely face oil, an important strategic energy source.

Dasong is an oil-poor country. Perhaps now because of the small scale of industry and the small demand for oil, domestic oil fields can cope with it.

But with the continuous prosperity of industry, this problem must be solved.

Dasong needs a stable source of oil energy, and even needs to establish a safe oil import corridor.

In this case, he cannot allow such an uneasy force to exist in Middle Earth.

As far as he knows, most countries in the current Middle Earth region are subservient to the Tusman Empire.

The Tusman Empire can be said to be the real overlord of Middle Earth.

Even its old enemy, the Great Yue Kingdom, has to rely on it.

And this Great Yue Kingdom is a country in the contemporary Persian region.

"Your Highness, this..." Chen Hu still had some doubts, worried that he was not competent, so he declined.

Zhao Xu then told him the strategic purpose of establishing the Western Regions Protectorate.

He knew Chen Hu, and he was unwilling to be a frontier official, but he would be the first to ask for it if he was in the frontier for him.

Sure enough, he learned that the Western Regions Protectorate was so important.

After a long silence, Chen Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness has entrusted such an important task to me, which is a trust in me. If you refuse it again, it would be a lack of promotion. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will give you a Western Region that all nations submit to."

"Ambition!" Chang Wei gave a thumbs up.

Yang Feng also stroked his beard and smiled.

He is old, and now he is willing to promote the younger generation.

After talking about the Western Regions Protectorate, Zhao Xu changed the subject, "This time, the enemy's siege of Dasong has only ended in the north, but other directions are still continuing. Next, we should turn our attention to the south." Chang Wei nodded, "This time the machine guns performed well in the Yongzhou battlefield. They can be provided to the Qinglong Army and the Suzaku Army, allowing them to kill and let Jiaozhi, Piaoman and the Westerners behind them have a taste of their power." "That's natural, but I think the war in the south is more severe than the war in the north. When we are fully prepared, we will launch an offensive." Zhao Xu said. If we count the vassal armies of the colonies such as Jiaozhi, Piaoman, and Tianzhu, it is obvious that the south has more troops than the northern Di, and the equipment is better, and the terrain is more complex. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, he believes that it is necessary to wait until the machine guns are in place and the number of metal bullets is sufficient. However, due to production capacity issues, these two things cannot be met in a short period of time. Especially metal bullets. This Yongzhou battle basically emptied the bullets accumulated by the Arms Department during this period. So he pondered for a while and said, "Just like in the north, let the soldiers spend the New Year in peace, and at the same time let each army select a group of machine gunners to come for training."

"I think so too." Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in charge of logistics and had frequent exchanges with Wang Ying to understand the current situation of the Arms Department.

Chang Wei also nodded.

Although he was eager to destroy the enemy, he also agreed with the King of Yan's idea of ​​minimizing casualties.

Suddenly something occurred to him, and he said: "By the way, Your Highness, the Western Region Protectorate is now in charge of Beidi and the Western Regions. What about the far north occupied by the Russians?"

"The Xuanwu Army will be responsible." Zhao Xu said.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions is responsible for the grasslands and the Western Regions, and the Xuanwu Army is naturally responsible for the vast snowfields of the Far North.

Usually, the two can also cooperate with each other.

However, these are his plans, and it will take a series of wars to achieve his goals.

After all, Dasong's enemies will not easily spit out the territories they occupy, nor will they sit back and watch Dasong expand their sphere of influence.

The four of them chatted for half an hour. It was getting late before Zhao Xu asked them to go back.

At this time, Yang Feng thought of something, stopped and said, "Your Highness, I want to have a word with the princess."

Zhao Xu had a strange look on his face, and when he saw that Yang Feng had no intention of explaining, he nodded.

Yang Feng went away for a while and then came back.

The three of them left the palace together.

Back in the dormitory, Zhao Xu had just sat down when Yang Susu suddenly walked over with a smile and said, "Your Highness, there is a happy event now."

"What happy event?" Zhao Xu was confused.

Yang Susu smiled and said, "Prime Minister Liu is young and meets a good match. Is this a happy event?"

Zhao Xu became interested after hearing this.

Liu Fu worked hard with him, and he was really his right-hand man over the years, taking on a lot of government affairs for him.

I'm so busy that I'm not even interested in talking about getting married, but now I'm finally feeling romantic?

"Did the Duke come to you just now just to ask you to be a matchmaker?" Zhao Xu asked.

Yang Susu nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly covered her mouth as if vomiting.

Zhao Xu was startled and hurriedly supported Yang Susu. Suddenly he reacted, "Let's not talk about Liu Fu's happy event. There is a happy event in the palace now."
