Chapter 485: Anxi Unified

After the Uighur League Congress, many of the representatives of the Uighur tribes who came to Anxi did not return, and some began to wander around the city of Shule, which had just experienced turmoil and slaughter, after all, this was the seat of the royal court of the Uighurs of Anxi, although a large number of nobles and wealthy families were implicated by the Hamoud purge, and even most of the nobles and heads of the families were killed and imprisoned, but the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles of the tribes who lived here, so they took this opportunity to find relatives and friends, and more importantly, Shule is now the base camp of the Tiance Army's Western Expeditionary Army, so through these locals, you can still find out a lot of news. However, there are also some people who directly participated in another meeting held by Tuoba Siji later, in which Tuoba Siji focused on a detailed introduction to the new policies of the Tang Dynasty, although some of these people have learned about the implementation of the new Tang policies in Shazhou and Gaochang through daily caravans, and the practice of sweeping away the old class order makes some people jealous, even if Hammoud said that all those who sign the alliance can get the assistance of Datang to sit on the throne of the tribal patriarch, But once the administrative power is lost, then the power of the patriarch and the leader is actually illegal, that is to say, when the Tang Dynasty eases up, the power of these tribal patriarchs can be stripped away at any time. I didn't look at the dozens of Uighur tribes in Gaochang now, but only a few of them participated in the administration of the new regime, and in this way, it was because they wanted to stabilize the local area, and these people participated in the official evaluation presided over by Tuoba Siji. So although Tuoba Siji's beautiful description of the New Deal is very good, most of these people, except for a few of them, left the venue with a sense of loss. However, Tuoba Sizhi has long been psychologically prepared for this, the new policy of the Tang Dynasty is, to put it bluntly, to reconstruct a new ruling order, since it is a new order, then all the superiors must meet the requirements of the new government of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to accommodate the northwest and abandon the political norms established by the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although most of them were reluctant to come to the northwest to serve in the vast expanse of thousands of miles, the situation became much better after Li Xuanqing pirated the methods of supporting Tibet in later generations. After all, Datang has become more and more stable, and the shortage of officials has begun to ease after hundreds of new students graduate from the School of Administration every year and join the political arena, and this method and the continuous short-term training of old officials have begun to be gradually alleviated. In this way, a large number of officials will have to struggle for a long time before they can be promoted, and going to the frontier for training is actually a relatively quick way to be promoted.

"It seems that there are still a few good seedlings who are interested in our new deal." Wan Yi looked at the last few young people who left the venue and then turned back to the side to find the deputy of Tuoba Si Zhi to learn more about the details of the new policy, and said with a smile: "Finally, there are these seedlings who can take the initiative to make a difference, otherwise you will have to think of the old way again." ”

It doesn't matter if Tuoba thinks about it, but it's not bad that someone can take the initiative to integrate in, so he can't help but smile and say: "Don't worry, my commander, I have already prepared on the side of Jiaohe City, although Anxi has a huge area, but fortunately, your army knocked down a large part of Boxian Town in advance, so I only need to bring this large area from the northern line into the scope of my rule now." In the early stage, the military management relied on Yang Yi's National Guard to suppress the formation, and your army took out some manpower to assist, I think it should be about the same. ”

"Don't worry, I've let Hammad's Uighur corps participate in the whole process to ensure your civil affairs and incorporate the whole of Anxi into the territory of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible." Wan Yi nodded, he had already made arrangements for the next stage of the Uighur Legion's mission. In addition, as the supplementary corps had arrived at the front line before the onset of winter, the Recruits Division set up a point on the Gaochang side to supplement the Uighur corps in order to take care of the Uighur corps' predominantly Uighur corps. Therefore, once the Uighur corps is filled, it is time to take advantage of participation in local affairs and small-scale low-intensity conflict battles to regain combat strength.

"By the way, the new territory of Anxi that I reported to the cabinet this time includes the entire northern region, including the entire Shuanghe Governor's Mansion, all the way to the vicinity of Hot Spring Pass, can your military complete such a large-scale battle before the end of the year to ensure that these places are taken?" Tuoba Sizhi saw the military map on Wan Yi's side and thought of a question, pointed to the hot spring pass on the map, and said: "As for the more northern places, it is estimated that they will not be able to take it this year, even if the local tribes surrender to Cheng, they will not be able to take over, the climate in the north is too cold in winter, and if the army continues to fight, I am afraid that the logistics will not be able to keep up." ”

Wan Yi nodded, what Tuoba Si said was the truth, now in late September, Shule's side has really entered the winter, and I am only afraid that it will be colder after that, but it is not a big problem to take the Hot Spring Pass, and the northern army has concentrated two corps of infantry and cavalry to deal with the turquoise cavalry Shi It is not a big problem, Wan Yi does not believe that in the case that Shule's side has been taken by himself, Ge Lulu will be stupid to raise troops again. As for the Samanid side, the Modao Battalion and the Seventh Corps had already set out from Shule to the northwest, preparing to deal with the attack of the Samanids. The Modao battalion even marched directly into Andijan, preparing to take advantage of the dense population and abundant resources in this area to build a new town as a base for the next stage of the Western Expeditionary Army's westward campaign.

Wan Yi has no problem here, Tuoba Sizhi is also relieved, and began to seriously prepare to take over the various matters of the entire Anxi, and a large number of materials began to be continuously transported to various places in the northwest of Anxi along the Silk Road, and with the National Guard team of people and horses going to various places, the forces of Datang began to accompany these materials and manpower along the various branches of the Silk Road. The northern parts of the country, which had been swept away by Hammud and Tuobas, began to be reoccupied one after another, and civil officials began to initiate new policies after the National Guard was stationed.

The Uighur corps, which had been reorganized, was divided into two routes, one south and one north, and the northern line was decisively sent to the Heishui River area under the leadership of Deying and Ying, and the confrontation between the various tribes in this source of the river was suppressed by the various tribes in this source of the river. Because the Heishui River region was the largest gathering place of the Uighur tribes in the northern region, and at the same time the largest population gathering area, the rebellion of the Uighur tribes here directly threatened the rear of the Northern Advance Corps fighting at the front. Therefore, after Ogyan arrived in the Heishui River area, he began to carry out a bloody suppression of all the rebels involved in the rebellion, although the newly formed Uighur Corps was replenished with nearly 30,000 recruits, but the supplementary corps transferred from the Recruits Department itself has undergone perfect recruit training, and under the leadership of the surviving veterans, the combat strength has been greatly tempered in this battle, and the two battalions in the hands of Ogyan quickly captured the source of the three rivers where the rebels were entrenched in a short period of time, and directly collapsed the coalition forces of more than a dozen tribes around it. In this battle, the troops under the command of Ogyan beheaded more than 40,000, and the blood stained the entire source of the river red, and countless coalition soldiers became prisoners. Victorious, Ogeyan sent troops to catch up with these tribes who had participated in the rebellion, arresting all the chiefs and nobles of a dozen tribes, and at the same time sending troops to assist the civil officials in establishing a new political order that was not based on tribes. As a result, the largest settlement in the northwest of Anxi began to establish the Yamen of Heishui Prefecture near the Black Sailor Capture, but to everyone's surprise, the assassin of Heishui Prefecture was a Uighur, that is, the shabby young man who had participated in the signing of the Huimeng before, and the civil affairs official sent by Tuoba Si served as his deputy. This method also made the remaining tribes who were trembling with fear begin to gradually realize the means of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, so under this strong force suppression, the newly established Heishui Prefecture was carried out at the fastest speed before the arrival of the winter university.

Ogyan suppressed the rebellion on the northern front, but Deying was calm on the southern front, and the Anxi Corps had actually swept away the surrounding tribes when they fought in Shuangqu City, so after Deying led the army to see the strong strength of the Tiance army, these tribes chose to bow their heads one after another. Moreover, there are not many Uighurs in the southern line of Shuangqu City and even in this area from Shule to the Khotanese border, and there are actually a large number of descendants of the Zhaowu nine surnames distributed here like the west of Shule, who are now loyal supporters of the Tang Dynasty, and when the Anxi Corps composed of their own children came here to fight, they enthusiastically joined the army to support food and wages. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Sheng was able to quickly defeat the coalition forces of the Anxi tribe. After Deying came to get the support of the military, this area established a new Thorn History Mansion in Shuangqu City, although the Thorn History was transferred from the Central Plains, but these tribes surnamed Zhaowu Jiu were very supportive, and every day someone would go to the Thorn History Mansion to visit the Wu Wei Thorn History from the Central Plains to understand the situation in the Central Plains. Later, Shuangqu City also became one of the fastest growing cities in the Anxi region, which is inseparable from the yearning of these descendants of Zhaowu Jiu for the Central Plains, they have the highest degree of support for the new policy of the Tang Dynasty, and many tribal leaders even took the initiative to transfer the dominance to the Assassin Mansion and the civil officials sent up, and they actively responded to the new policy of the Assassin Prefecture, began to increase the development of commerce and agricultural production, and then took advantage of the convenient transportation advantages of Shule City to develop rapidly, and even led to the development of a large area in northern Khotan.

At the same time that the north and south lines attacked one after another, Wan Yi's Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters also received the good news of the Northern Advance Corps, Tuoba Siji and Chai Jia defeated the 50,000 troops of the Tuoba Siji in Hot Spring Pass on the ninth day of the tenth month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the cavalry corps under the command of Tuoba Siji continued to pursue to the southwest, all the way from the Hot Spring Pass to the Atami area of the hinterland of the Tui Cavalry, and encountered the main force of the other side again on the shore of Atami Lake, the two sides fought a bloody battle on the shore of Atami Lake, and the cavalry corps of Tuoba Siji continued to fight for three days and three nights, and defeated the heavy cavalry of the Tuoba Shi with guerrilla tactics. Although this battle did not finally capture the city of Broken Leaves, the royal court of the Turgish, it caused the Turgish to collapse from then on, and was completely defeated when the Western Expeditionary Army resumed its journey the following year.

The military and the government in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty successively attacked in the winter, and the military marched north on a large scale to sweep away all the opposition forces in the entire Shuanghe Governorate, and directly defeated the counterattack of the Turgish army against the Tiance army, which effectively guaranteed the continuous reform of civil affairs in this regard. By the time the Modao Battalion took root in Andijan, the situation in the entire northwest was already very obvious. At this time, the base camp of Chang'an, which was thousands of miles away, had also completed the strategic task of the next stage of the Northwest and Western Expeditionary Army. Xu Tianxiang sent it to Li Xuanqing for review, and at the same time, Wang Houchun and Yang Tiancheng also formulated a plan for the rotation training of the various armies of the Western Expeditionary Army in the second year, that is, the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and sent the list of various units for rotation training to Li Xuanqing.

"You're saying that Tuoba Siji is about to hit Shattered Leaf City?" Li Xuanqing nodded after taking the battle report from Hu Xiaosi's hand after carefully comparing it, and said with a somewhat regretful smile: "This Tuoba Siji is still a little careful, if he can stay on Atami's side for a few more days, maybe he can wait for Chai Jia, and the two of them can still break those leaves." In this way, those of us will be able to be worthy of Lord Shixian's spirit in the sky. ”

"Haha, that's right." Hu Xiaosi didn't have much interest in Shixian's hometown, and stretched out his hand to hand Li Xuanqing another battle report with a smile: "This is the battle report from the Tibetan area, Xue Yang has already joined Chen Yu, and they are ready to cross the Changzhou area before the winter to suppress some cities." ”

"It's okay to cross Changzhou, but it's a bit difficult to conquer some cities." Li Xuanqing shook his head, the war in Tibet was basically guided by the General Staff Officer, and he didn't ask too much. The Tibetan area needs to be steady and steady compared to the northwest, and the altitude sickness is too obvious, even the special forces of the third-class corps such as the long-trained mountain plateau operations are now moving slower and slower, and Xue Yang seems to have foresight, and he went south early to join Chen Yu, avoiding the embarrassing situation of cutting off contact with the rear after the winter comes. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that in winter, they will only be able to garrison near Changzhou, and they will not be able to continue to advance. Therefore, Li Xuanqing asked Hu Xiaosi to issue an order to warn Chen Yu and Xue Yang not to be greedy for merit to fight some cities, the biggest enemy in Tibet is actually not those Tubo people, but the terrain of the harsh climate, the speed of progress is slow, and Li Xuanqing did not urge too much.

"Hey, what a rare guest, why is Mr. Cen here?" Li Xuanqing was still looking at the map, and Hu Xiaosi suddenly spoke. Cen Tianshi really walked in, and his visit made Li Xuanqing stretch his brows, just afraid that this year's New Year's task was coming.

"Little Four, what do you mean? Can't I come to the palace? Cen Tianshi smiled and handed the report sent by Tuoba Siji to Li Xuanqing with a smile: "Your Majesty, Tuoba Siji in the northwest has already started to act, basically keeping up with the footsteps of the Western Expeditionary Army, without delaying too much. Moreover, Hammud also convened the Uighur Alliance, which was a letter sent to the emperor to read it. ”

"The scourge of the Uighurs has finally been curtailed." Hu Xiaosi also looked relaxed and said with a smile.
