Regarding Qingji's move to restore the Loulan Kingdom, the monarchs present had no objection. Whew

After all, the Loulan people helped the Wu army resist the attack of the Persians in the battle of Humud City, and contributed a lot.

Qingji has always been a person with clear resentment.

"The king, I have a request, and I ask the king to fulfill it!"

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded like the cry of a yellow bird under the steps.

For the language of the people of the Western Regions, Qingji couldn't understand it, but fortunately, Mueller and Yin Xi stood aside and were responsible for translating for Qingji.

Qingji immediately followed the source of the voice, looked around, and saw that it was a beautiful young woman who was not very old.

She wears a pointed felt hat, a woolen blanket, straight leather boots, a small face, a high nose, big eyes, and long eyelashes. Whew

Thick blonde hair, slightly curly, scattered behind the shoulders.

This exotic charming face, as well as a hot body, really makes Qingji's eyes shine.

It is estimated that every man who sees her can't help but feel ready to move in his heart......

"You are?"

"Returning to the King, I am the queen of the Peerless Kingdom...... No, Monarch, Uchan Naga Hai. ”

The beautiful young woman named "Uchan Naga Hai" said shyly and timidly.

This shy look is afraid it is fake. Whew

After all, with her age and the temperament on her body, she doesn't look like a shy girl!

The Absolute Queen?

That's not surprising!

The Fanbang Waiyi who can sit in this palace and talk to Qingji is basically the king of a country.

It's just that it's quite rare to let a woman serve as the monarch!

After being translated by Muller's mouth, Qingji was slightly surprised to learn the identity of this Uchan Naga Hai.

"Wuzen...... Uchan Naga Sea, right? What are your requests? "Whew

"King, we are a peerless country, and we are willing to surrender to Dawu, enter the court every year, and pay tribute every year! Please also ask the king's mighty spirit, the divine soldier of the Wu country to protect the exquisite country! ”

As soon as Wuchan Nagahai's words fell, the monarchs of the Western Regions countries present all saluted Qingji, asking Wu to garrison troops in their own country, and were willing to submit tribute to Wu and take Wu as the suzerain.

This is exactly what Qingji wants to see.

Loved!

After the Battle of Mud City, all the countries in the Western Regions saw the strength of Wu Guo's soldiers.

Even the Persians, who had always been invincible and invincible in the West, were defeated by the hands of the Wu army!

You must know that throughout the entire battle of Humud City, the battle loss ratio between the Wu army and the Persian army was more than seven to one! Whew

With such a powerful backer, how could the countries of the Western Regions not surrender?

"Good."

Seeing that the kings of the Western Regions were so knowledgeable, Qingji couldn't help but bow his head slightly and accepted their submission.

According to the vassal system of Wu State, all vassal states of Wu State will be stationed on the side of their national capitals, and the ruling ministers of their country will be Wu people, and then practice Wu law, co-indoctrination, and basically maintain the same pace with Wu State.

However, for the subjugated countries of the Western Regions, Qingji would not ask for this.

After all, Wu was too far away from the Western Regions, and there was no need for military occupation.

Moreover, the countries of the Western Regions are not worth the effort of Wu to devour whales...... Whew

At most, Qingji is to set up a capital in the Western Regions, and then send an army to garrison it to maintain the security of the countries in the Western Regions, as well as the security of the borders.

……

After the monarchs of the Western Regions retreated, Qingji summoned the national captain Sun Wu, the imperial historian Fan Li, Gongzi Fan and Gongzi Hong in the palace.

It is worth mentioning that Gongzihong was responsible for supervising the transportation of a batch of grain and grass baggage, and came to the mud city at the right time.

As for Gongzixi, he is still in charge.

Prince Heng has already returned to Jinling.

After all, it is impossible for Qingji to let the princes of Wu follow him to the Western Regions. Whew

In case Qingji is in danger and Prince Heng dies in battle, won't the Wu Kingdom fall apart at any time?

"Father, in the battle of Mud City, the Persians were defeated and fled, and the goal of the father has been achieved, why bother to gather the princes to join forces and go to the Western Regions?"

Gongzihong asked puzzled.

Don't be ashamed to ask (ask if you don't understand), this is a good quality of Gongzihong.

This is also where Qingji admires Gongzihong more.

Qing Ji said with a surging smile: "Wu Hong, do you still remember the strategy I discussed in Fangcheng Mountain to level the world?" ”

"Father is saying...... Destroy Qin? "Whew

"Yet"

Qingji bowed slightly: "The land of the Western Regions is a major choke point where the East and the West meet, that is, the folk commonly known as the 'Silk Road'. ”

"This is a cornucopia, and it is not a military town for my Wu country."

"Whoever masters the Western Regions is equivalent to who masters the Silk Road."

"In the past, the caravans of my Wu State and the caravans of other countries passing through Qin had to be charged high checkpoint taxes, but now there is no need to."

"The Qin people or Rong Di, every time you strip a layer of checkpoint tax, the land in the Western Regions under the rule of my Wu State can be stripped back."

After a pause, Qingji said meaningfully: "The intention of the widow is to prepare to set up a capital protectorate in the Western Regions. "Whew

"The duty of the protector is to appease the feudal domains, and to control all matters of comfort, requisition, meritorious service, and punishment for the surrounding peoples."

"Shhh

Hearing this, Fan Li, Sun Wu, Gongzihong, and Gongzi Fandong couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

If it is according to Qingji's arrangement, the power of the capital protector of the Western Regions is not ordinary.

"Du" is all, "protection" is the guardianship of the soldiers, and "all protection" is the meaning of the superintendent's protection.

The nature of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is that it is a military subordinate organ set up by Qingji to supervise the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

"Father, if this is the case, I don't know who my father is going to let hold this position?" Whew

Qingji didn't speak, but kept staring at Gongzihong.

This made Gongzihong is heart flutter.

Could it be that my father wants me to serve as the protector of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate?

Although the power of the capital protector is very great, it is equivalent to a county guard and a feudal official......

No!

To be precise, the capital of the Western Regions is still above all the county guards of the Wu State.

Because the Western Regions do not border with the State of Wu, it is beyond the reach of the whip, even if Du Hu really establishes his own prestige in the Western Regions, divides one side, and claims to be the king and hegemon, it is difficult for Qingji to directly crusade from the Wu State itself. Whew

Therefore, the capital of the Western Regions is equivalent to the existence of the emperor of the earth.

How could Qingji easily give such a position to outsiders?

In Qingji's heart, he had an idea of "Wuhua Zhuxia" from beginning to end.

Anyway, they are all their own sons, and even if Gongzi Hong divides the Western Regions and establishes his own country as king, there is no loss for Qingji.

Of course, for the successor of the Wu State, it is definitely a big loss!

"Wu Hong, are you willing to serve as the Grand Protector of the Western Regions?"
