Zhang Tong obviously knew that this rice wall was obviously trying to cover up, and his excuse was too far-fetched, saying that the respect of the strong here is the folk characteristic here, Zhang Tong never believes that there are "folk characteristics" in this world that advocate the respect of the strong and like to kill. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But this Western Regions has become like this, so that Zhang Tong obviously feels that this must be Mibi has great benefits in it.

"Sister Ye Chen, there is something wrong with this rice wall!" Zhang Tong said quickly.

Ye Chen was not stupid, he also quickly knew that Mi Bi, the third master in the world, and the first master of the Western Regions must have played some disgraceful role in this. He must have encouraged and connived at such a mess, otherwise it would not have ended up in such turmoil. With his strength, as long as he is willing to ascend to the heights, it is not impossible to change the current situation, even if he can't change the improvement, it is certain.

Zhang Tong took Ye Chen to the Western Regions Protectorate of the Chinese Imperial Court.

"Zhang Guogong, Ye Palace Master, rare guests, rare guests! I heard that the two of them have come to our Western Regions, and they are not far away!" Zhu Bingyan, the Grand Protector of the Western Regions, took the initiative to greet him.

Zhang Tong asked directly and unceremoniously: "Zhu Daduhu, this Western Regions is so turbulent, can't you take care of it?"

Zhu Bingyan also said helplessly: "Zhang Guogong, if my decree of the protector of the capital does not have the consent of Mibi, then it can almost be said that it cannot be ordered out of the yamen." And most of our subordinates are about 10,000 garrisons in the Western Regions, but this 10,000 people is already the limit that the imperial court can provide, and the consumption wealth required by these 10,000 people is more than the 100,000 troops in our traditional areas, and the imperial court cannot continue to send more garrison troops. ”

"But 10,000 people, in the face of the situation here, that's a drop in the bucket. If it is in our traditional territory, we can get material support from the locality, and even get all kinds of food supplies from the local people through various purchases, requisitions, etc., but here...... It's hard here! There is a lack of supplies, an arid climate, a desert, scarce water, and so on. The land cannot cultivate much, so they have always resorted to monopolizing the trade of the East and the Far West to profit from it, that is to say, to exploit our merchants in the East and the Far West, and obtain wealth from it to survive. ”

Zhang Tong really has a detailed understanding of the current Western Regions, because the Western Regions are not very rich in their own materials, because of the climate and other reasons, they cannot produce too many crops and feed too many people. So they adopted as "brokers" of the East-West trade, they monopolized the trade in it by force, exploited the merchants of the East and the West to obtain wealth, and then obtained all kinds of materials from the East and the West again to survive.

"This Western Regions is really difficult to solve, if you want to solve it, you must send a large army to conquer it. However, we can't afford the price paid by the army to conquer, especially the Western Regions army, the soldiers eat at least ten times more than the ordinary army, and even the consumption of people along the way is also huge, so we are destined to not be able to send a large army to conquer. ”

"But if you recruit masters and come to the Western Regions, it doesn't mean much. ”

Zhang informed that the turmoil in the Western Regions was a fundamental problem, and even if a small number of masters were sent to defeat those top masters in the Western Regions, it would not make much sense. Because once the master leaves, the chaos on the foundation of the Western Regions will also be born again, and then it will also return to the turbulent situation of the past.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to have a strong army to be able to uproot the root causes of this turbulent order. However, the imperial court could not afford such a large army expedition, and in the end it could only choose to rule nominally, but in fact sit idly by.

"In this way, is this Western Regions also a place where strength is respected and personal strength is used as a means of rule?" Zhang Tong asked.

Zhu Bingyan nodded, and then said, "If it weren't for me because I have a huge imperial court behind my back, I'm afraid we wouldn't be stable." I want to be safe, and the 10,000 troops stationed here want to be safe, and the most important thing is not to interfere in the affairs of this place. They are not giving me face, but the face of a huge empire behind us. However, my order was not approved by the first master, Mi Bi, and it can be said that the order could not be made out of the yamen, and it was completely useless. ”

Zhang Tong completely understood, and took the initiative to say to Ye Chen: "Sister Ye Chen, I think this is why Mibi is like this." Mi Bi is actually the biggest beneficiary of the turmoil in the Western Regions, because he is the only innate master in the Western Regions, so such a turbulent situation is the most beneficial to him, the first master. If the Western Regions restore stability, the establishment of various rules, so that the most disadvantageous is him, the first master of martial arts. He is the first in martial arts, so he can get the most benefits, and he can rely on his own force to gain the benefits of this turbulent situation. ”

"If it is as stable as our mainland, then even if he has high personal martial arts, he will not be able to gain too many benefits, because all kinds of laws and rules and morality are mutually restricted, and it is not martial arts that determine everything. However, in the Western Regions, maintaining such turmoil would benefit Mi Bi, the number one master in the Western Regions and the only innate master, the most! Therefore, instead of stopping the turmoil, he encouraged it. And he can become the emperor of the Western Regions through the identity of the only innate master in the Western Regions. ”

Ye Chen suddenly felt a chill in her teeth, she didn't expect Mi Bi to be such a person. Especially thinking of those hundreds of lives that disappeared because of a firefight, Ye Chen felt uncomfortable.

However, as the number one master in the Western Regions and the only innate master, Mi Bi originally had an extremely strong appeal, and it was entirely possible to solve it, at least it could improve this problem. However, he chose to let go and even encourage, so that he could benefit the most, and he had no chivalrous heart at all, and he ignored so many lives for his own interests, which made Ye Chen extremely disgusted with Mi Bi.

"I think this is why the Western Regions have been in this situation for so many years, it is because they do not produce things themselves, and they rely entirely on the trade between the East and the West to exploit them. It does not produce itself, so it does not matter if it is rooted in the institutional discipline or even the law produced by production. Even if they are so unproductive, it will naturally evolve into the respect of the strong. ”

"But because there is such a thing as internal force martial arts, it is natural that the high level of personal martial arts has an advantage. Those martial arts masters naturally did not want to change the current 'situation', because such an environment where the strong were respected was the most suitable for them, the 'strong'. As for the armies of our empire, they cannot send a large army to conquer, so they are the most rampant. ”

"These bastards, scum!"

Zhang Tong scolded Mibi directly.
