Chapter 454: Fusion

Maggs was gearing up for a civil war, and he used his ingenuity to the fullest, literally at an over-level level, which shows that ambition can sometimes be a catalyst for a person's progress.

He lavishly rewarded the ministers of the former dynasty who had re-sworn allegiance to him, and many of them were promoted, because many important officials of the court who were loyal to Poland were beheaded all over the house, and there were many vacant positions.

For example, the Prime Minister of the Empire, for example, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, maybe there are people here who want to join the new emperor, but if they don't die, where will Mags have so many vacant seats to house his subordinates and newly defected?

As for whether it is too cruel to say that the whole door is beheaded? Have you ever seen a grass cut without roots? Do you dare to guarantee that the descendants of these people will not suddenly appear as powerful as Lu Bu?

Oh, even if it's not as good as Lu Bu, it can't reach the level of Mags, it's still the dead man who is the most reassuring.

He also fulfilled his previous promise to the governors of the local provinces who supported him on the throne, allowing them a high degree of autonomy.

If you want to collect taxes, you can. If you want to conscript the army, you can. If you want to issue your own coins, you can.

In short, as long as they support Mags, stand in the same camp as themselves, and deal with the wave together, it is not a problem.

The tail is not a big thing, Mags is not worried at all, with the support of the army of the big man, which dissident can't be eliminated if he wants to?

Don't forget, Maggs also has the identity of the No. 1 intelligence officer of the Kushan Empire of the Han Intelligence Department! As long as he has no disagreement with Dahan, Dahan is still willing to lend a hand.

Being able to indirectly control a large empire with a vast territory and a large population is probably something that the leader of any country will not refuse.

After the Han navy bombarded the seaport city of Sopala in the western governorate, easily wiped out the small sailors in the harbor, and sent marines to land, after teaching the Scythians a hard lesson.

The Scythians of the Western Governorate immediately took Merges's side, and happily sent 30,000 Scythian heavy cavalry to participate in Mags's conquest of the Kushan Imperial Army.

However, the Wave Tune also firmly controlled the important provinces of the Kushan tribe such as Gujranwala, Lahore, and Faisalabad, especially the Royal Academy and Military Workshops of the Kushan Empire were under the control of the Wave Tune.

These important provinces and institutions have been under the control of his most confidants from beginning to end, and the twenty or thirty years of operation, especially the various conveniences after he became emperor, have laid a solid foundation.

Therefore, despite the support of the big man, Mags's war against the Bo tune did not go well, he did not have a good general like Sauter, and Osidemos was not an excellent commander-type talent.

Osidemos himself is also very self-aware, and resolutely refuses to accept Mags's appointment to him, he does not consider himself to be Sauter's opponent, and Mags has no choice but to go into battle in person.

The Haotian Army of the Han Dynasty has commanders who are comparable to Sauter, and Ma Chao and Sima Yi are both Sauter's old opponents.

However, Lu Bu's military order is also very clear, the big man can help Mags, but it is just to maintain law and order and defend the city, and the business of charging into battle is still done by the Guishan people themselves!

Mags wondered, since you can't take the lead, you Lu Bu can just send a few troops, why do you want to leave the Haotian Army in Guishan?

Of course, Lu Bu has his plans, one is to let the Haotian Army always be in a state of actual combat and maintain its combat strength.

Second, and in order to prevent any changes in the situation in Guishan, the pro-Han Mags regime is certainly worthy of Lu Bu's support, but if someone else wants to take power, then the Haotian Army will show its fangs.

So this battle situation is a bit stalemate, Mags's army has an absolute advantage in numbers, but Mags's level of commanding the army is probably not as good as Osidemos!

Fortunately, Osidemos desperately came to help, and the Han army also sent the third division of the Haotian Army, which rescued Mags from the encirclement and avoided the tragedy of the new emperor of the Kushan Empire who died less than three months after he ascended the throne.

Next, Mags learned his lesson, followed the advice of Osidemos, and fought steadily, step by step, and fully exploited his advantage in having many soldiers.

In this way, Sot was somewhat helpless, and was slowly advanced by Mags's army to the hinterland of Rawalpindi, and important cities such as Srinagar and Mansehra fell one after another.

Even if the wave tune controls the military workshop of Kushan, whether it is iron ore, coal, or saltpeter, the control area of the wave tune does not produce it.

Without the source of these raw materials, he would have no military workshop, and he would not be able to make guns and ammunition!

Bo Tuan could only prepare for the worst, and if he couldn't hold it anymore, he withdrew into the mountains of the Kashmir plateau, fought guerrilla warfare with Mags, and waited for the opportunity to return to the country.

Just doing this, he is very unwilling, how can things change so quickly in this world? He has only been emperor for a few years, and he has fallen into such a situation.

Oh, by the way, the port of Minaggara has been leased to the Han Empire, and it has become the first naval base of the Han Navy on the coast of the Indian Ocean, and the entire coast of Kushan is controlled by the Han army, and it is impossible for Bo Tiao to escape overseas.

Lü Bu led the army back to the city of Malacanda, which is no longer the capital of the Sogdian Province, but has become the capital of the Sogdian Governor's Palace, the capital of the Western Regions of the Han Empire.

Zhang Xiu was appointed as the first governor of Sogdia, and the armies of the Kushan provinces under the jurisdiction of the Sogdian governorate had their weapons confiscated and concentrated in the barracks outside the city of Maracanda to be trained by the new army.

In the future, the garrison of the Sogdian Governorate would be composed of a mixture of Han Chinese and Sogdians, who would receive military training from the Han and submit to the administration of the Han Empire.

Well-behaved Sogdian soldiers and their families had the opportunity to become full-fledged subjects of the Han Empire, and of course, in addition to soldiers, other skilled Sogdians would also have such opportunities.

Lü Bu's intention was to cultivate a group of local people loyal to the Han in Sogdia and use them to manage their own people, which was much better than the direct management of the Han people, which was the successful experience of the Han in the Western Regions and Dawan.

When they have entered the Han nationality, learned the culture of the Han people, and spoken Chinese, who can tell whether they are Han or Sogdian?

And when their children learn Han culture and language from an early age, and when they grow up, they become officials of the Han Dynasty and become soldiers of the Han Dynasty, so what is the difference between them and the Han people?

This may be the great integration of nationalities, but it must be a great integration of nationalities dominated by the Han nationality!
