CHAPTER XXXIV INSPECTION 4
Leaving Gongyue City Di Feng and Lou Shide and then to Xuanchi, Xuanchi in Zhenguan years had set up the governor's mansion, is the military horse ranch in the northern Xinjiang, originally belonged to the Turks and later changed hands several times, now although it is returned to Anbei, but Di Feng and the Turkic Ashina Gu Dulu made a deal, and asked Xuanchi to come over as a distribution and trading place for horses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why Wu Tan is allowed to come, is because Xuanchi is too important in Di Feng's view, first of all, the geographical location, Xuanchi is west of Anxi, north of Turgish (Novosibirsk), east is Tiele, to the south is Shatuo and Ashina's Turkic tooth account, here can be attacked, retreated and defended, it is really not possible to enter the territory of the Soviet Union in the future, is Di Feng's bridgehead to open up the Siberian Plain.
Besides, the fertile water and grass here is the origin of war horses, accounting for one-third of the war horses in the northwest, after all, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there were only three horse husbandry supervisors in the northwest, such as Loufu, Tianchi and Xuanchi, and their importance can be imagined.
Xuanchi has not yet been garrisoned by the Tang Army, and the one responsible for managing the ranch is the Glolu Department of the Tiele people, the leader is called Ye Hu, and the scope of activity is between the Western Turkic Turks and the North Court, and it has a close relationship with Ashina Daozhen, and it is precisely for this reason that Ashina Gu Dulu was worried that he would not be able to control Glolu so he took the initiative to give Xuanchi to Di Feng.
In this way, Di Feng and Ashina Daozhen have actually controlled the land of Anbei west of Ubusu Lake, and Lou Shide is full of praise for Di Feng's vision of preemptively occupying Xuanchi, but this place still nominally belongs to Anbei, and Di Feng did not stay long before turning his head and going straight to Tingzhou.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tingzhou was the city of Western Turkic Futu, with 970 li to Yizhou in the southeast, 500 li to Xizhou in the east, 1,100 li to Yanqi Town in the southwest, 2,220 li to Shaye in the west, about 4,000 li to the Jiankun Ya Tent in the north, and 3,000 li to the Uighur Ya Tent in the northeast.
Originally, Wu Zetian wanted to set up the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and appoint Ashina Daozhen as the Governor of the Ten Surnames of the Metropolitan Protector of Xitu, but he was opposed by the ministers, and he could only appoint Ashina Daozhen as the Governor of Tingzhou to serve as the Assassin of Yizhou.
Ashina Daozhen is really rich now, the Yizhou that Di Feng gave him has been connected with Xizhou and prospered, needless to say, the ten surnames of Xitu and the Tuqi Shi are all attached to him, he has long had the idea of resetting the Xitu royal court, but this idea can only pass through his mind but dare not put it into action.
His 10,000 Yiwu army is borrowed from Di Feng, and he actually controls only 30,000 Han Navy, whether these horses can be mobilized depends on Di Feng's face, Ashina Dao is really afraid of Di Feng.
Di Feng arrived at Ashina Dao really warm hospitality, with a respectful attitude and did not dare to be disrespectful, don't look at Di Feng does not have many descendants in Anxi, but Ashina Dao really knows that now Di Feng has given an order, and all the departments in Anxi will bow down and obey orders, because everyone's wealth has been mixed together, and they are all in Di Feng's hands.
At the beginning, all the ministries in preparation for the construction of the trade center reported great expectations, thinking that this was a good thing from God, and all the ministries were happy when they became rich, but now Ashina Daozhen found out that it was right to make a fortune, but Di Feng also took the opportunity to tie all the power of Anxi to him.
This method is too clever, Ashina Dao really only now understands Di Feng's true intention of poking himself to come to the northwest, and restoring the former glory of Ashina's family is simply a pretense, and it is clearly Di Feng's secret son planted for himself to rule the northwest.
Commercial power is the key to ruling the northwest, Di Feng has the power to distribute commercial power, which is equivalent to having the royal power of the northwest, who dares to disagree? As long as there is a tribe that dares to disobey Di Feng and take away the business power of his tribe, it will be impossible for this tribe to be isolated in the northwest.
Di Feng's methods made Ashina Dao really admire and be in awe.
Tingzhou is a state of bondage, Lou Shide can't say much, after two days in Tingzhou, Lou Shide and Di Feng went to the last place, Yizhou.
Yizhou is in the southeast of Xizhou, after the Yumen Pass is the sandbank, then Yizhou, then Xizhou, the three states are each other's horns are the gateway to Anxi, Yizhou is nominally Ashina Daozhen commander, in fact, the garrison of 10,000 is Di Feng's wind and fire army, the commander is Di Feng's first Zhang Xiaoguang, he only cares about the garrison and does not dare to do government affairs, government affairs are sent by Yao Chong to join the army Wang Hui of the former Anxi Protectorate.
Yao Chong picked out a literary and a martial artist from the original Anxi Protectorate and recommended them to Di Feng, Wang Hui is one of them, this Wang Hui is also considered to be both civil and military, but the administrative management is better than leading the troops to fight, he followed Yao Chong to manage the business center is excellent performance, which was recommended to Di Feng by Yao Chong.
Di Feng has already scattered the officials of the original Anxi Protectorate, he doesn't believe these people, for Wang Hui, Di Feng also has a try-and-see attitude, but as soon as Wang Hui arrived in Yizhou, he put the management of Yizhou's government affairs in order, so Di Feng was relieved to let Wang Hui be the operating officer of Yizhou.
And another person recommended by Yao Chong is called Guo Zhiyun, who was just a captain of the Han Navy at the earliest, but this person is brave and strategic, and he has accumulated merit to General Xuanwei, Di Feng has followed Gao Sheji to guard the sandbar in Anxi, and led the troops out of the sandbar to cross the snow mountain to Tubo, and the performance satisfied Di Feng, Guo Zhiyun was the most suitable to guard Yizhou, but considering that Ashina Daozhen was true, Di Feng arranged Guo Zhiyun to the sandbank to do the history of assassination.
Yizhou now has a special "trade road" leading to Xizhou, the reason why it is called a trade road, because both sides of this road are all kinds of shops, tea shops, inns, lively and prosperous, and it is the only place in Anxi that is open 24 hours a day.
The establishment of the trade route was also a last resort, because there was no place in Xizhou City to house the new merchants, so Yao Chong had no choice but to let these later merchants build shops on both sides of the official road from Xizhou to Yizhou, which was originally a helpless move, but after a long time, a strange phenomenon appeared.
Most of the shops on the trade routes sold inland specialties such as silk, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and jewelry, while Xizhou mainly sold Anxi specialties and gold, silverware, and jewelry from Dashi and Persia. Those who traveled from abroad would go straight to Yizhou and buy goods along the way and sell them back; The mainland business travelers went straight to Xizhou City, buying exotic and in-demand materials and selling them in the mainland, so that each had a clear purpose and reduced the congestion in Xizhou City.
Lou Shide was originally an inspector of military affairs and camps, but when he came to Anxi and was attracted by the beauty and richness here, he couldn't help but participate in the inspection of local government affairs.
Di Feng came out to accompany Lou Shide for more than 20 days, thinking that the old thing should go, but this Lou Shide actually had to follow back to Qiuzi, Di Feng secretly felt that this Wu Zetian was determined to let Lou Shide be placed by his side.
But if this Lou Shide is a deputy protector or governor, he can still put him in those towns that lack people, but he is the overseer and Di Feng can't move him, which makes people depressed.
Di Feng regretted that he really shouldn't have escorted the two deputies away, Wu Zetian was on guard, and this time he sent an official to press him. (To be continued.) )
