Although Cui Wenxiu is not a civil governor, he knows how important this seaside is for the entire empire, especially the western part of the empire has spread to the Indean region, from the Western Regions to Northern Luzon, and the entire Indean region that is now being integrated into the empire, all goods have to go through a long overland, it is true that the road traffic situation of the empire has been greatly improved, and it is still developing, but the low freight of water (sea) transportation is undoubtedly incomparable by land, and being able to establish one or two ports on this seashore can undoubtedly shift the empire's commercial transportation focus in the entire Central Continent hereOf course, this still needs to overcome the obstacle of those pirates at sea, but it is not impossible to achieve after all.

The West Indoan region is obviously much more barren than the East and South Indoans, on the one hand, because of the land, and on the other hand, because of the frequent sectarian conflicts that caused a lot of wars, not only between the Neaism and the Holy Spirit, but also between the Niaism and the Rohmans. There are deep contradictions between the various sects within the Niaism, which may be suppressed under a strong ruling power, but once they lose their authoritarian control, these contradictions inevitably erupt, as is the case in the current West Indosan.

The two provinces of d'Estain and D'Sin now have a certain foundation and are competing with the Manichaeans of the Neaism for the dominance of the faith, especially in the province of d'Estaing, where the Church of the Holy Spirit has firmly held a dominant position with the strong support of the Duchy of Hanover; The Mani and the Gāyāyā sect are vying for leadership, but the Holy Spirit Sect has successfully intervened and successfully won the trust of the upper nobility, which makes the situation in the province of Mana more complicated; the two provinces of Fahan and Kerman are dominated by the Gāyāyas of the Niaī sect, but there are also certain restrictions, and the Kayāites are more powerful in the western coastal areas dominated by nomadic tribes, but in the eastern agricultural areas, the Manichaes still have a deep foundation, and the two factions are evenly divided; as for the Khora province, the Rohmans are the bridgehead of the Rohmans in the West Indo-Dian region, where the Rohmans hold the last position。

The nomadic tribes led by the Zahuddin family are also feeling great pressure from the full-scale invasion of the Holy Spirit Cult, and they also know that they themselves cannot compete with the Holy Spirit Sect, which is backed by the entire Hansen Alliance, and if they want to maintain the status of their Nia religion in this region, they must have a stronger supporter, and the Tang people seem to be the only choice, especially the tolerance and freedom shown by the Tang people in religious beliefs makes them feel excited. So when the Tang people threw over the olive branch, they threw themselves into the arms of the Tang people without much hesitation. If the empire wants to gain a foothold in this land, it also needs to cooperate with these local powers, especially to establish one or two port cities in the coastal area that can become the export port of goods in the western territory of the empire, and it needs the cooperation of these guys in terms of security.

The patriarch of the Zahudin family looked at the elegant man in front of him with some awe, with a green shirt and a belt, and he didn't seem to see the slightest bit of the unique killing aura of a soldier, but he knew that this person in front of him could be said to be the de facto ruler of the current Indean Kingdom, whether it was the Hansen League or the Luzon people, the weight of the Indean land was much lighter than this person.

"Lord Saidi, it seems that we have a common point of view in many places, the previous management model is no longer suitable for the development of the times, we need to reform and update, I want to know how much connection there is between the horse thieves and bandits who are now operating in this land and the Zahuddin family, or how much control the Zahuddin family has over these guys? I don't want the Kerman province to be under the control of the empire as before. ”

Although the elegant man's Tianfang dialect has a certain East Indian Dean accent, and it is not very standard, but Saidi can hear the toughness behind the other party's words, the Tang army won victories in the two provinces of Kerman and Huluo, and established the status of the Tang people in West Ind'an, when Saiyiti first threw himself on the Tang side, he was still a little uneasy, but now he knows that his judgment is accurate, and it is enough to win sufficient rewards for the Zahuddin family.

"Master Cui, uh, the Ming people don't say secret words, the horse thieves who are connected with the Zahuddin family have stopped all activities now, and they will fully comply with your requirements, but you also know that in Kerman, it is not our Zahuddin family that has the final say, there are many families that raise horse thieves, and our Zahuddin family can only affect a small number of the families that are close to us, and the others, well, I'm afraid they still need to be beaten by Lord Cui. ”

Saiti carefully considered the wording, he first expressed his attitude, and then also euphemistically stated the complicated situation in the region, with the help of the Tang people, some tribes with conflicts of interest with the Zahudin family are not so bright, but they are also to blame, and those who can't see the situation clearly need to pay the price to make them sober.

"Well, very well, Lord Saidi, what I need is your loyalty and cooperation, as for other things, you don't have to worry about it, if there are really people who are still stuck in the original era and do not want to make progress, then I think they should really be eliminated. The smile on the corner of Cui Wenxiu's mouth seemed to have turned into a sinister tail in Saidi's eyes.

"I don't know what Lord Cui needs us to cooperate with?" Saidi hid his fears and worries deep in his heart, this person seemed to be more of a demon incarnation for these peoples in the Middle Continent, and cooperating with demons was risky, but the rewards were also extremely rich, Saidi didn't want the Zahuddin family to be a second-rate family in Kerman forever, he wanted to be able to go to the next level, and the intention of catering to the new ruler was necessary.

"Lord Saidi, there are many places where the Zahuddin family can make a difference, and you have to remember that, the more you give to the Empire, the more you will gain. Kerman is about to be included in the management of the empire, and the previous system cannot be continued, so I hope you understand this, the armed forces can only be controlled by the empire, and family force is not allowed to exist in the laws of the empire, if the warriors in the Zahuddin family are willing to look for opportunities in the great cause of the empire, I can give them a chance, Kerman and Fahan belong to the frontier areas of the empire, and a cavalry unit familiar with the local situation needs to be formed, I don't know how many warriors the Zahuddin family can provide?"

Cui Wenxiu glanced at the head of the Zahudin family who was oozing beads of sweat on his forehead, and although his words were light, they directly hit the point.

Saiyiti also expected that this issue would be raised by the Tang people sooner or later, and the Tang envoy clearly pointed out that it was impossible for the future Kerman to return to the original management system, and the army must be controlled by the empire, and no private armed forces were allowed, which was also the most difficult condition for all nomadic tribes, including the Zahuddin family, to accept, but the empire had no room for maneuver in this regard, and Sayyiti also knew that it was impossible for the Tang people to make concessions on this issue, and no ruler would allow the existence of armed forces outside their controlIt is more appropriate to exchange this concession for more practical benefits.

"Uh, my lord, the Zahudin family doesn't have a large population, and you know that being able to provide eight hundred cavalry for the newly formed army is already the limit,"

"What about the horse thieves who are close to the Zahudins, and the tribes that the Zahuddin family can influence? Lord Saidi, I need to remind you, don't be deceived by superficial appearances, maybe later, you just want to let the warriors of the Zahudin family become a member of this army, and you may not be able to do so, I tell you, as long as I reveal this news, some people are willing to join this army, and I am only ready to limit this force to 8,000 people, I am here to remind you for the sake of the Zahuddin family taking the lead in cooperating with us, don't blame me for not telling you in advance if you miss the opportunity. Cui Wenxiu coldly interrupted the other party's words.

"Uh, sir, let me think, please let me think. Lowering his head in embarrassment, Saiyiti cursed secretly, while carefully pondering the true meaning of the other party's words, and only after a long time did he say: "My lord, fifteen hundred people is the limit that the Zahuddin family can provide, including horses, and I can use my personal influence to persuade some other small tribes that have a good relationship with the Zahuddin family to provide another five hundred horses, and two thousand people is the apex of our ability." ”

"Very well, Lord Saidi, I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness, and I can tell you that before you, Ibrahim and Duzmi had come to see me in Kerman City, and they wanted their family warriors to join this Imperial [***] team and in this way to pledge their allegiance to the Emperor and serve His Majesty the Emperor, and you seem to be a little slow at this point. ”

The light smile on the corner of the other party's mouth always had a hint of conspiracy in Saidi's eyes, but Saidi was still taken aback by the other party's words, "Ibrahim, Duzmi, Duzmi, Fahan, Lord Duzmi, do you mean that Fahan is going to be under the control of the Empire?"

At that time, Sayiti thought it was a slip of the tongue, but now that the other party said this, it was definitely not a slip of the tongue, Ibrahim Al-Farawi, the leader of the Farawi family, the biggest rival of the Zahuddin family in Kerman, and Duzmi Effendi, the leader of the Effendi family, the leader of the largest nomadic tribe in Fahan Province.
