Sitting in a large earthen mansion in Hami City, Liu Jun said with a smile to the excited generals. With the arrival of Liu Jun, some of the defeated Dzungar soldiers who were still hiding in the city were quickly cleared. Most of the defeated soldiers under the command of Gushi Khan outside the city were also pursued and captured.

Hami has now become a big man.

This gateway to the Western Regions is completely open to the Han Dynasty.

Hami, known as Ximi, Han called Yiwulu, Tang called Yizhou, Yuan called Hamili, Ming called Hamiwei. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate was established, and Hami was named Yiwulu under its jurisdiction. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang and was a county system. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xiliang people fled to Yiwu and joined Rouran, and became king in Yiwu.

By the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei army captured Yiwu, and the Northern Wei Dynasty formally established Yiwu County here, which was also the earliest formal administrative establishment of Hami, no longer a fetter, but an administrative district directly under the Central Plains Imperial Court.

After that, Yiwu belonged to the Central Plains, but also to the Turks, Uighurs, and Tibetans, and after the rise of the Mongols, they were subject to the Mongols. Later, the Yuan Dynasty subordinated Hamili to Gansu Province.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the descendants of Mongolian Chagatai were called the mighty king according to Hami. After the death of Yuan, it became self-reliant and called the Hami Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan, the king of Hami surrendered, Zhu Yuanzhang edicted the king of Hami at that time as the king of Zhongshun, and then formally set up the Hami guard in Hami and stationed in the guard. In the following decades, although the Hami Kingdom still remained, in fact, the throne of Hami was empty for a long time, and the imperial court only allowed the heir to the throne and did not allow the lord of state affairs.

By a hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty was powerless to look westward, and the Hami State, which had existed for more than 100 years, was occupied by Turpan Khan. After that, it was captured by Yarkand Khan, and finally occupied by Dzungaria, until now, the Holy Han Empire marched westward and entered Hami.

"The throat of the Western Regions here is extremely important, and the imperial court must garrison it here." Liu Jun looked at the sand table and pointed to this basin, "The existing Hami City is too small, and the imperial court wants to plan to build a new city here, a Han City." ”

In the past, the shamans of the Hami Kingdom began to convert to the Green Religion after the occupation of Yarkand. Since then, the Dzungars have invaded and suppressed the Xingyue Sect, intending to promote the Tibetan Buddha Yellow Sect, but the effect is not great.

"Build a new city, a Han city, move the Han people from the Central Plains, and move the people of all the tribes who believe in the Xingyue Sect in the original old city to the Central Plains. The vacated old city can be converted into a fortress castle for the construction of armies. ”

Long before Liu Jun sent his troops to the west, he was already thinking about the long-term control of the Western Regions in the future.

Whether it is the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han Dynasty or the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, in essence, it is still just a fetter system. This kind of system is similar to some ethnic autonomy or local autonomy in later generations.

This is actually a compromise in disguise.

The Central Plains Imperial Court was simply unable to have complete and true control over these places, but these tribes in the Western Regions were also unable to resist the Central Plains Dynasty when it was strong, so the two sides took a step back and compromised with each other.

The tribes of the Western Regions were vassals to the Central Plains Dynasty, allowing the imperial court to garrison troops, and so on. In addition to stationing some troops to various parts of the Western Regions, the Central Plains Imperial Court actually managed them according to the customs and habits of the original natives, and even local affairs were mainly controlled by these tribal leaders.

During the Tang Dynasty, the development of the Western Regions was strengthened, and a large number of long 'Long March athletes' were summoned, as many as hundreds of thousands of people immigrated to the Western Regions and garrisoned in Tuntian. The actual control of the Western Regions was enhanced, but it was a pity that after the Anshi Rebellion, the garrison of the Western Regions returned to the Central Plains to quell the chaos, and Da Shi took the opportunity to advance eastward, and a hundred years of pioneering were lost in one day.

Although the policy of fetters in the Han and Tang dynasties was a compromise policy of local autonomy, it also had many advantages. However, there are naturally many drawbacks, the disadvantage is that it is difficult for these natives to always have a strong sense of identity with the Central Plains, once they are strong, or when there are more powerful forces than the Central Plains in the vicinity, they will either rebel and stand on their own, or they will switch to other masters.

Liu Jun didn't like this kind of system, thinking that it was too difficult to create this kind of system to subtly assimilate these frontier tribes. It's too long, it's too late, and it's often not going to work.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, for nearly two thousand years, they have not been able to really control the Western Regions, as well as the Mongolian steppe and the Northeast Pass, only the Yunnan-Guizhou region has barely achieved some results.

The policy of restraint is also completely beyond the reach of the whip, and there is no way to do it, a compromise, a compromise, and a compromise when the power is not enough.

But now that the national strength of the Han Dynasty is thriving, it is the time to sweep away the Eight Wildernesses and Weijiayu. With the centripetal force of the new dynasty, the Great Han did not have many obstacles, and had completed the initial stage of primitive accumulation, and now had the ability to penetrate deep into the Western Regions.

Now that he has this ability to directly control the Western Regions, of course Liu Jun will not engage in any more restraint policies, nor will he let the Green Sect move eastward again, let alone let them continue to control the land of the Western Regions.

In history, in order to conquer that new territory, the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought for nearly a hundred years, and after destroying Dzungaria, they also destroyed various **** rebellions. In the end, he even slaughtered a once powerful Dzungar Khanate to the point of annihilation. The Jurchens relied on slaughter, and they did this in the Central Plains, even in the Western Regions.

While slaughtering, the Qing army was stationed, the city was built, and the immigrants were reclaimed. Relying on these policies, coupled with some appeasement methods, he finally took control of that area.

Liu Jun didn't plan to engage in massacre, there was no need.

The Han Dynasty has a population of more than 300 million, and Han Chinese now account for three-quarters.

And the massacre was too wasteful, both inhumane and wasteful of manpower. There is now a shortage of workers everywhere in the Central Plains, as well as in the South Seas, the Indochina Peninsula, the Northeast, and even the New World.

For those who are obedient, Liu Jun will also treat them more kindly, move to the Central Plains, go to work in factories, go to mines, build roads, pave bridges, go to tenants and hire workers, in short, there will be a place for them. As long as they are obedient, they will have their own place to live, they will have a job, they will be able to eat enough, and even support their families, and their children will be able to go to school to learn Chinese characters and Mandarin, and in the future, they may be able to enter a technical school as a technician, maybe they will be a second-class citizen or a third-class citizen, but after a few generations, they may be able to become a Han Chinese.

Not long ago, the imperial court promulgated a legal provision that non-Han people are not allowed to marry with the same race, and non-Han people can only monogamy, and concubines are prohibited. Under this law, coupled with assimilation education, those conquered foreigners, they left the land where they had lived for generations, dissolved into the sea of Han people, learned Chinese, forbade to speak the original language and write the original script, and were not even allowed to intermarry with the original clan, the tribes would be broken up and separated, and the original social system would be completely disrupted. Sinicization' or not, in the past, the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties and other dynasties have always been powerless to conquer and assimilate foreign races, and the sacred Han will not be a problem.

This is also a kind of great assimilation ability that can only be found in the era of industrialization in the commoditized economy. If the Divine Han is still only an agricultural era, it will still be very difficult to do this.

As the ** team of the Great Han Emperor continues to advance westward, one by one the tribes of the Western Regions will be moved into the Central Plains and scattered and distributed to various places. A large number of Han Chinese will move to this new territory, and by that time, the foot of the mountain range in the Western Regions and the oases on the edge of the basin will be Han Chinese.

Then this land will forever become the land of the Han people.

This will be costly, but it is the only way to do it once and for all.

"Move all the **** in Hami away?"

"It's not cheap."

Liu Jun smiled.

"Actually, it's not difficult, isn't there a labor shortage everywhere now, and it's difficult to hire people. For this reason, many people have started to pay high prices to hire people from those labor agencies. In fact, this cost is not low, and we can now issue edicts to merchants and citizens everywhere. Tell these businessmen and landlords who need labor that as long as they send an immigrant from the Central Plains, they can bring a **** back from the hands of our army. ”

Let those factory owners and landlords be in charge of immigration, and if they move one from the Central Plains, they can bring one back.

The cost of relocation and travel expenses are paid by them in advance, and this money can be divided into three parts, one part is the cost of hiring people, and the second part can be regarded as the employment fee paid in advance to those ****, and the money will have to be deducted from those **** in the future, just like the foreign workers they hire in the hands of those labor agencies. These employees also have to pay a monthly living allowance, and then when the living expenses and the employment fee are deducted, they are free to choose to continue to hire or look for a new job.

The remaining part of the expenses can be reimbursed by the imperial court, and the imperial court will subsidize them.

"A good way, in this way, the cost of the imperial court is the lowest, but it can solve the problem of these **** moving away and Han people moving in."

For example, the people who moved out of the Central Plains had to be chosen by the imperial court, and they had to be the people in those poor areas, such as some backward mountainous areas, or some areas that often suffer from drought and floods, or the people in some mining areas now. The imperial court picks, and then mobilizes people from these areas to sign up. Only the areas selected by the imperial court, as well as the common people who voluntarily signed up to go, could be included in this immigration plan, and those merchants who wanted to participate could only be responsible for transporting these people over. ”

Liu Jun said that these additions also clearly distinguish rights and responsibilities, and the businessmen are only responsible for relocation. And where to move whom, these are not up to them. The addition of this article is also to let this policy of the imperial court be implemented. You can't just move people, you have to be people who need to be relocated.

Although the Han Dynasty immigrated every year, there were still a large number of areas in poor mountainous areas and areas that were often affected by disasters. The imperial court immigrates every year, but the cost of immigration is very high, even if major banks and other major banks join in and provide loans, etc., but the scale of immigration in the imperial court is also limited.

Many people can also migrate on their own, but the cost is also very large, and not everyone is willing to take this risk.

It is indeed a good workaround to let those merchants who need labor advance money to immigrate, and then solve this problem of large number of immigrants by employing the natives of the Western Regions to work.

To each his own, he takes what he needs.

The imperial court wants to emigrate, the businessmen want laborers, some people in the imperial court have no money, and the businessmen have money but no one, complement each other and cooperate, just right.

"If all the natives of the conquered places in the Western Regions are removed, I am afraid that they will definitely not be happy, especially if they are handed over to those merchants, and let them work as hired laborers for eight years and ten years before they can be free." A question was raised.

Whether it is the imperial court to immigrate, or the merchants to hire labor, this is a matter of the imperial court's wishes, and these people in the Western Regions are not necessarily happy.

"It doesn't matter if they're happy or not. The rebel died, and the servant was exiled to the New World to open up the wasteland. I believe that as long as I make an example, it will be carried out smoothly. ”

Many generals have already felt that the emperor has become more and more tough recently, but if you think about it, on the issue of the Western Regions, if you don't have a little bit of iron and blood, you are afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Moreover, two-way immigration was also a common policy of the imperial court towards the newly conquered lands, such as Northeast China, Korea, Japan, and Central and South Asia, and the fact that these newly conquered places are very calm so far fully illustrates the practicality of this policy.

Northeast China, Korea, Japan, Annam, Burma, these newly conquered lands, one after another Seoul are rising from the ground, countless Han immigrants are living in the new land, the aborigines have become fewer and fewer, and they are constantly being moved away, and the empire's control over the newly conquered lands is becoming more and more solid.

Originally, this kind of large-scale migration of the natives of the Western Regions should have been carried out after the conquest of the entire Western Regions. After all, the current immigration may make those natives hostile to the Han Dynasty, and even join the rebels, and it may also make the Dzungar and other rebels more stubborn.

However, considering the huge influence of the Green Sect in the Western Regions, Liu Jun still planned to do it as soon as possible.

Occupy a city, and clear it.

His defense of the Green Cult is even far higher than that of the Crusades.

"Demolish all the temples and churches!"

In the Central Plains, Liu Jun also pays attention to the heat, and the Inquisition is still relatively low-key and controls the rhythm. But in this new land, Liu Jun was unceremonious.

In fact, Liu Jun has already made a decision with the central ministers of the imperial court, and the Han Dynasty will explicitly prohibit Xingyue Religion, Cross Religion, Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and other religions in the future.

Those who believe in God, Allah, Buddha, and the like are all objects to be banned.

In the future, the big man can only believe in one, heaven.

Heaven is not a physical object, heaven is the way of heaven, the rule of all things, and the truth of all things. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is the son of heaven, the monarch granted by heaven, and it is sacrosanct.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was both a secular administrator and a spokesman for heaven. In short, all the right of interpretation has to belong to the Son of Heaven, and no one else is qualified to do so.

The kings of England knew that religion was vying for royal power, so he went to great lengths to create a state religion with the king as the religious leader. Since the Western Han Dynasty, China has also had a monopoly on Confucianism and deposed hundreds of schools. With the Confucian unity of heaven and man, the divine right of the monarch and so on.

The destruction of Buddha by the Three Martial Powers in Chinese history, the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty are also the embodiment of the contradiction between secular and religious struggle for power.

After more than 1,000 years of evolution, China's Buddhism and Taoism have been tamed by China's secular religion, and those rebellious sects such as Maitreya, White Lotus, Taiping Dao, and Wudoumi were eventually classified as evil cults. But when the dynasties of ancient Chinese history perished, we can always see the shadow of those Buddhism and Taoism behind it.

Liu Jun can tolerate these controllable Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Han Dynasty, but he must not tolerate such aggressive and demagogic sects as the Xingyue Sect and the Cross Sect to really take root in the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there is a military intelligence delivered outside." A guard came in to report.

"Biography."

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Huangyan, the chief soldier of Qinghai, has reported that he has surrounded Huozhou and blocked Batur's retreat."

Huozhou is Turpan.

Batur's armies on the north and south were defeated one after another, and although he took the initiative to abandon Hami, he was reluctant to abandon Turpan. He also couldn't have imagined that the 50,000 army led by Gushi Khan, an old fox, would also be defeated so quickly in Ha. When he wanted to retreat to Yili, Zhang Huangyan had already rushed to the west of Turpan and blocked his way.

40,000 Han and Qiang troops blocked the way, and Batur wanted to forcibly kill the 90,000 people in his hands.

But as soon as he transferred his troops out of the city, Zhang Guodong led 60,000 Han and Mongolian coalition troops to kill him from behind.

There were interceptions in front and pursuers in the rear, and the number even exceeded that of Batur's Dzungar army. Caught off guard, Batur had no choice but to withdraw to Turpan, and as a result, the two armies combined and trapped him in the city of Turpan.

"Good."

Hearing the news, Liu Jun wasn't even too excited.

When the northern and southern wings of Seng Ge and Tulu Baihu were almost gone, Liu Jun had already expected today's result.

"Batur is so brave that he should not be afraid."

Fu Shan laughed.

Batur, who held 90,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, didn't even dare to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Huangyan's 40,000 Han and Qiang coalition forces. This kind of indecisive performance of being afraid of wolves and tigers is really bad.

If you fight with your back to the water, even if you have more casualties, you can rush out, you can still maneuver around the vast place, and no matter how bad it is, you can escape to Siberia or Russia. But now, he's holding back.

This retreat, he became the turtle in Wengzhong.

He never had a chance to escape, 100,000 Han Qiang and Mongolian troops surrounded Turpan, and Dzungaria is now on fire everywhere, and there is no more strength left to rescue.

Liu Jun is still in Hami with an army of 100,000, and when Liu Jun arrives with an army and artillery, Turpan is no matter how strong it is, and Batur is no matter how many soldiers there are, it will definitely not last a few days.

"It's really unimaginable, the 200,000 strong soldiers in Dzungaria, as a result, in a few months, several major battles, have become the suffocation of Wengzhong. The Western Regions have changed hands. Liu Yunsheng laughed.

"Spread my will, the army will be drawn immediately, and we will go to Turpan."

This will be the last and most critical battle of the Han Dynasty to determine the Western Regions, and after this battle, the Western Regions will be peaceful. (To be continued.) )
