A few months later, at the end of the sixteenth year of the new calendar Fengtian in the northern part of Tianzhu, the Zhenyi women's battalion arrived in Yunlu Prefecture, the westernmost part of the Southern Regions Province.

Dhaka City, which has been renamed New Nanning City, is the seat of administration of the Southern Regions of Daqi Overseas Province.

Along the Ganges River all the way to the west, more than 1,000 miles away, you will arrive at Yunlu Prefecture.

It was also the nominally westernmost territory of the Baltic Kingdom.

In the past few months, after the 500 Jingnan arrived in the city of New Nanning, they conquered everywhere, including the northeast of the Kamo Wibo country, which was also conquered, and theoretically, gradually connected with the territory of Yunnan West Road.

In the course of the conquest, the butcher's knives of the Arakan slave soldiers caused countless bloody massacres, in stark contrast to the autumn innocence of the officers and soldiers of the Great Qi, and in the mouths of the locals, the reputation of the Qi people and the Arakan people became two extremes.

The common people and slaves of the conquered lands wished to be ruled by the Qi and hated the Arakanese.

Therefore, when the Arakan slave soldiers in some regions were expelled by the Qi people, these civilian slaves all applauded.

This makes the Qi people's rule here seem to have become a common expectation.

When the Zhenyi Women's Battalion arrived in Yunlu Prefecture, the state office had been listed for more than ten days, and as in many areas, the Arakan slave soldiers had evacuated, but the tax collector was left behind, and he worked in the Qi people's office, which was counted as a calculation amount, so as not to get or take insufficient one-tenth of the tax money promised by the Qi people.

The territory where Yunlu Prefecture is located is locally called Polonai, which is the westernmost territory of the present-day Polo Kingdom and the westernmost state of the Southern Regions.

Eight hundred miles west along the Ganges River, there is the city of Qunu, which is also the most prosperous city in northern India, the capital of the original Ring Sun Empire, and the Bala Kingdom also occupied the city of Qunu and designated it as the capital at its peak.

Later, with the decline of the internal division, the Baltic Kingdom had to withdraw from the competition.

The other protagonist of the tripartite melee, the Rashdra Khatta, came from the Deccan region, which is the plateau where New Delhi was later located, and founded the kingdom of Rashtrakuta.

However, this Rashtrakuta kingdom, last year? It has been destroyed by the Ghaznavid kingdom of the Muhammad sect that invaded eastward.

The auspicious child next to Lu Ning? That is, Aishwarya, from this kingdom? It is said that she is the daughter of the lord of the kingdom of Shasi?

As for the Ghaznavid kingdom that destroyed the Lashtrakuta kingdom and entered the Deccan region, and the Qaznavid Kingdom in the Western Regions, which was at war with the Great Qi vassal state in Khotan? And the most solid ally, a sphere of influence that intends to invade China since ancient times? One invaded Tianzhu in the east? In the name of jihad, they all intended to touch this legendary country of extremely rich ancient civilizations.

I heard that the current Ghaznavid Kingdom is still invading eastward, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Supplementatihara people.

Qunu City, now occupied by the Buluo Emperor Haluo people? It should also be the ultimate goal of the Ghaznavid Kingdom.

After all? As a prosperous ancient city that has been famous for a long time, it is inevitable that Qunu City will be coveted by those robbers who use holy war as their name but plunder as their reality.

Historically, more than 30 years later, the city of Qunu was attacked by the Ghaznavid Kingdom, and countless gold, silver and jewels were looted? The massacre is said to have killed more than 100,000 people in Qunu City alone? The rest were looted as slaves, and the city of Qunu was burned.

In this world? Maybe it's because the holy war in Khotan was not so smooth and the losses were huge? Tough fighting? Believers often take advantage of the excitement and return with failure? He even lost a lot of his life.

It is because the fanatics from Central Asia and West Asia prefer to come to the Ghaznavid kingdom in the south, and the corresponding Ghaznavid emir calls for entering the Tianzhu land to conduct holy wars, so that gold, silver, jewelry, women, and even seventy-two holy women, etc., will not be seen in the world, and there will be a little opportunity in this life, at least, gold and silver coins can sometimes be rewarded.

In this way, the holy war in Tianzhu has progressed a little faster than in history.

……

Yunlu City, on the north bank of the Ganges River.

For the time being, the Southern Regions Province has implemented a two-level administrative region system of provinces and prefectures, but only a handful of state cities are along the Ganges River.

These state towns, which nominally ruled over the surrounding vast lands, and subjugated local slave owners, lords, temple elders, etc., paid taxes to them.

The state official offices, sent by the governor, are officially called "special commissioners of the governor of the southern regions", so that the governor of the southern regions can act cheaply, if it is an official of the Daqi state office, it must be selected by the cabinet, and the official documents are back and forth, which is too time-consuming.

Of course, the reason why the governor was given so much power was also because the Qi people had just set foot in this place, and they wanted to consolidate their rule here as soon as possible.

Later, with the arrival of immigrants and the co-optation of surrounding lords, the officials of the state administration will inevitably have to be selected and approved by Bianjing, so as to avoid the newly developed land becoming a country within a country of careerists.

Lu Ning even thought that when he incorporated these large and small lords, he would simply confiscate the land of these lords and nationalize them just like the Central Plains governed the surrounding people, and then lease them to these slaves for farming, so as to collect the hearts of the civilian slaves at the bottom.

However, Lu Ning finally dispelled this idea, the relationship between history and culture and tradition, if it is done in this way, it may not have the effect in the Central Plains, but will cause many unexpected problems.

When oppressing and harvesting the resources created by these people, give them a little benefit, and make them feel that their lives are better than before, and they may be more loved by them, and if they take too big a step, these lazy and ignorant people, suddenly without their whips and shackles, may cause a lot of trouble.

After sending an envoy to Qunu City to inquire about the situation, Lu Ning traveled east in the Yunlu City area, contacted the civilian slaves, listened to what they were thinking, and then revised his own policy for governing this land.

Sometimes, Lu Ning would sit in the government instead of Liu Dafang, the Yunlu commissioner, and ponder what power the local officials of Daqi who really had to deal with local nobles, commoners, and slaves, and how many officials should be set up to restrain each other, etc.

Liu Dafang was nominally a general judge of the Southern Regions Province and was dispatched as the local commissioner of Yunlu.

The five hundred capitals of Jingnan, known as the five hundred capitals, are actually fifty people, three thousand regular soldiers, and two thousand reserve soldiers.

Most of the Jingnan army was stationed in the city of New Nanning, but ten of them were sent to Yunlu to guard the border.

In addition, there are 500 Zhenyi female battalions, 1,000 flying falcon regiments, and the Jingnan border army are all in the same barracks.

The Falcon Regiment was originally a hundred people, and recruited 900 brave soldiers from the slave army accompanying the Western Expedition to join the group, these slave soldiers, their status has a great jump, although they are still lowly in front of the Qi people, but for them, this status in exchange for blood and sweat, with a certain identity freedom and military salary, is an honorary status that they never dreamed of.

In addition, the garrisons in the southern provinces are equipped with the Huanxi women's battalion, which is a female slave recruited from Burma, Arakan, Bengal, Kama and other places, to undertake certain logistical tasks, and at the same time, to solve the physiological needs of the soldiers.

In Yunlu City, there were 500 people in the Huanxi Women's Camp.

Otherwise, the discipline requirements for the military horses under his command will be completely unrealistic, and although it is impossible to avoid the occurrence of burning, killing and looting, at least this phenomenon can be alleviated to a certain extent.

Although the official price is not high, half of the fees are owned by them, which can be regarded as compensation for them, and doctors regularly check their bodies to avoid large-scale epidemics such as syphilis.

The salaries of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition are very high, and the pricing and charging are also to avoid chaotic management, which is somewhat willing, and will not become a cold and cruel phenomenon of collective free queuing.

In this regard, Lu Ning felt that it was similar to European army expeditions, such as Napoleon's expedition, where there were sometimes more women in the army than soldiers, and there were caravan prostitutes who found business opportunities, stationed with the army, and clearly marked the price of various transactions, from food to weapons and ammunition.

This is much more humane than comfort women and the like.

Moreover, it also relieves the pressure on logistics to a certain extent.

Although it is an official act now, it has a shadow of this.
