The news of the Han Court's reopening of the Western Regions Protectorate has now spread throughout the Western Regions.

Fifty-five countries sent envoys to its Qiancheng one after another. After meeting the protector of the Western Regions, according to Liu Bei's request, he settled in the embassies of various countries in the embassy area and lived in the city for a long time.

The embassy was built on a raised platform as a whole.

The pavilions and pavilions are all compared to the Han style structure and combined with the Western style, carefully supervised. It occupies almost all of the inner city.

The eastern district of the inner city is the official residence of the subordinate officials at all levels of the metropolitan protection government.

The city is protected by the palace and lives in the middle.

A circular street with the word 'Hui' separates the three areas. To the north and south are two large squares.

Used for rally, or military parades. All excellent.

This also means: It's different from coming and going in a hurry. The envoys of the 55 countries in the Western Regions should stay in the embassy for a long time. He has full powers to take the place of the kings of each country, and to deal with all matters between the countries and between the countries and the Protectorate.

This is a major initiative of Liu Bei to imitate later generations.

And so on. There's no need to wait until the beginning of the year or the end of the year. Countries can deal with sudden disputes, contradictions and conflicts between countries in real time.

He also requested the Protectorate of the Western Regions to mediate and deal with it for both parties.

The efficiency is better than before, and it can be said that it has improved by leaps and bounds.

The so-called without further ado. Once the countries of the Western Regions are accustomed to this mode of dispute resolution, which is the least costly, most efficient, and most fair and authoritative.

It will become more and more dependent on the existence of the Western Regions Protectorate. It will also be more closely tied to the chariot of the Great Han.

The most important thing is that with the existence of the embassy, the countries will not dare to use swords without informing the Metropolitan Protectorate and obtaining permission.

Especially for some small countries, with the support of the Han Court, they can live a more stable life. There is no need to worry all day long, being annexed by great powers.

Count it all in one fell swoop.

And as far as Liu Bei is concerned. The establishment of the Western Regions Embassy allowed it to control the countries of the Western Regions more closely. Implement deep sinicization. In the end, the countries of the Western Regions were integrated into the territory of the Han Dynasty and became an important means for the vassal states.

Once "everything is found and protected", it will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was the beginning of Liu Bei's complete control of the Western Regions.

Of course. The premise of all this is power.

Might is right. Especially for the city-states of the Western Regions, which are the law of the jungle, and the extraterritorial powers that are eyeing the side.

To this end, Liu Bei needs to maintain the invincible strength of the Western Regions Protectorate at all times.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy nearly 300,000 slaves from outside the territory.

In feudal times, population was equated with productivity. As the master of 280,000 slaves. Liu Bei has profoundly changed the demographics and balance of power in the Western Regions.

As long as the cities under the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate can be self-sufficient in food and grass, the people's hearts will be stable. At that time, it will be sinicized again.。 Recruit strong soldiers and forge good armor, why worry about not being able to screen the Han Dynasty.

These political tricks from later generations are impossible for the countries of the Western Regions to know.

In the simple hearts of the people of the Western Regions. Since Hanting is willing to stand up for them, why not do it.

Right.

While the two ministers were busy with political affairs. The generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate are also stepping up their reorganization.

Liu Bei only brought 300 soldiers with him.

First, under the shoulder water gold pass, 8,000 Tuoba other tribe cavalry were captured, and 1,000 wolf cavalry were captured.

Immediately after that, he recruited 2,000 crossbowmen from the families of the old soldiers on the border. and in the city of the ditch, he collected five hundred horse thieves.

There are more than 20,000 beggars who are on the verge of death. Liu Bei recruited 3,000 cavalry from it and handed them over to two righteous brothers for training.

In the end, 3,000 archers who were proficient in returning horses and arrows were recruited from among the 120,000 Kushan slaves, and 6,000 lancers were recruited from the 150,000 Wusun slaves.

There are more than 20,000 soldiers under his command. The soldiers are strong and strong, and the momentum is like a rainbow, which can be of great use.

A thousand wolf riders have all been allocated to Xu Huang's command. Ready to take it back.

Zang Ba led 2,000 cavalry alone and garrisoned Wulei City.

Xu Rong led 1,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 archers, 2,000 rangers, 3,000 assault riders, and 100 dragon riders from his headquarters to garrison its Qiancheng. Gong Wei Western Regions Protectorate. The most elite dragon rider used to protect the two mansions.

Cheng Pu led 1,000 archers, 2,000 rangers, 3,000 assault horses, and 100 tiger horsemen from the headquarters, stationed in Zhenzhong City. Hold the choke point to the west of the Green Ridge. By the way, Liu Bei was charged a road occupation fee.

Duan Xuan led a thousand crossbowmen and a thousand rangers to garrison Gaochang Wall. Protect the first line of Tuntian in Liuzhong.

Zhang Meng led a thousand archers and a thousand rangers to garrison the Kunlun barrier. Guarding Iwu Tuntian.

There are also about 3,000 Tuoba other Xianbei who want to be brought back to their hometowns to reunite with their families.

Quli City is still garrisoned by Feng Mo, the commander of the city, and his headquarters. The ditch plough is no more than 100 miles away from Wulei. As long as the wolf smoke is together, Zang Ba will lead two thousand horsemen, and they will be there in an instant.

The two Xianbei are all dressed in the armor of the hometown system. The Hu cavalry all wore the armor of the Duhufu system modified from the armor of the Khotanese thieves.

In terms of defensive power, the armor of the Linxiang is naturally higher than that of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

However, in terms of the smelting level of the surrounding countries in the Western Regions, the armor of the capital protector is sufficient.

Among them, the 2,000 elite Xianbei Turquoise riders who were newly included in the dragon riding and the tiger shooting cavalry were equipped with Western Jiliang horses as standard. The combat power is much higher than that of the rest of the departments. It's the best of the best.

In addition to the agricultural estates scattered in the oasis, Liu Bei also renovated many horse yi. For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty built beacons, Wu forts, and barrier cities on the oasis; There are also many abandoned cities that have been abandoned by the countries of the Western Regions, dotted with oases. With a little repair, it can be used as a mayip.

With the reopening of the Silk Road, the Han Dynasty reopened the Western Regions Protectorate. In the Central Plains and the Western Regions, trade became more and more extensive. Bulk commodities, such as silk for good horses, machinery for good horses. Grain for ore, grain for wine. Compete in the city.

The powerful effect of the treasury is revealed.

In order to be able to enjoy the huge transaction guarantee provided by the treasury. Many Hu merchants even did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to buy houses and farm properties, and moved their families into its Qiancheng. Register and become a citizen under the rule of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

Liu Bei's household registration policy is equal to everyone and faces the entire Western Regions. can become a great Han citizen under the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate. Hu businessmen are all eager to flock to it, and there is honor.

Siyi is proud of sinicization, but it's not just talking.

It is possible to open a family account in the treasury. It's so convenient. It's a pity that Liu Bei's unforgotten coinage right was not mentioned in His Majesty's edict.

Forget it, this request is indeed a bit difficult for Your Majesty.

Speaking of which. Dahan has two systems, far ahead of the world.

The system of compiling households and uniting the people. Upper counting system.

The system of arranging households and people can grasp the people's feelings. The upper planning system can grasp the national conditions.

The two systems complement each other. If it is handled properly, the national conditions and the people's feelings are all under control.

In fact, it's not just about household registration. By comparing the cases with the above, the imperial court can make judgments on whether officials at all levels are competent or not.

For example, Du Ji and Du Bohou, who are traveling west with their old mother. In history, he served as the Taishou of Hedong for 16 years, and evaluated his political achievements as "often the most in the world".

Other words. Compare it to the Taishou of the whole world. Hedong Taishou Du Ji's political achievements are often among the best. This person is definitely the top internal affairs talent that Liu Bei urgently needs.

This convincing conclusion was made. The strict statistical system has contributed greatly.

Thus. The strength of the big man is in every way.

How can it not be awe-inspiring.
