In the twenty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Western Turks pulled back the steam tractor and began to learn to farm in their own territory.

It was told to their chiefs that the nature of their Turkic people was to drive cattle and sheep, to wander everywhere, and that this kind of settled life was not suitable for them.

And once they have a fixed land, it means that it will be difficult for them to migrate like before, and if the Tang Dynasty comes to attack them, they probably won't be able to escape.

】

As a result, their chieftain didn't listen, and felt that he had hundreds of thousands of victorious soldiers, and he was not afraid of the Tang Dynasty at all. Thereupon...... By the time the wheat was ripe in the second year.

Really!

As the Turkic minister said, when Datang came, not only did they harvest half a grain, but they even had to choose a decisive battle with Datang because they were reluctant to give up their year's results.

On the Tang Army's side, it has not been a battle with so many people for a long time.

It seems that the last time was when Su Dingfang led the troops.

To be honest, it is difficult to guarantee how effective this is, but as long as the rewards and punishments are clear, there are still many people who are willing to work hard for Datang.

In this battle, the Western Turks suffered more than 200,000 casualties, which was also the most fierce battle since the Battle of Liaodong.

As for how many dead and injured people were killed and injured on Datang's side......

Not at all, that's certainly unrealistic.

Merely......

Compared with the battle of Dafeichuan and Qinghai, it is simply good, not too much.

And......

After this battle, it also completely established the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions in the future.

Some of the remnants of the Western Turks surrendered, while others fled to the Eastern European Plain.

This Eastern European Plain was also the last stop for the nomads to move westward.

Of course!

Just because they escaped doesn't mean they're safe.

After all......

At this time, there were also some scattered nomadic tribes over there.

Li Xiang did not take anyone to continue the pursuit.

Because......

The most important task now is to make a fiefdom for his unsuccessful son in the east of the Eastern European Plain.

Thanks to Li Huanwen, he only became a prisoner, and he was not so frightened that he directly bowed down to the Western Turks.

For his son, Li Xiang can only say, you scold him, as if this is not entirely the fault of the other party, don't you scold him, this matter of being captured, I can only say that this still makes Datang a little embarrassed.

Li Chong wrote a letter to Li Huanwen, to the effect that 'the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin', failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that after failure, you will not be able to stand up.

Unexpectedly, when everyone looked down on him, Li Chong actually valued him so much.

Didn't disappoint him at all.

On the contrary, as an elder, he gave him a lot of encouragement.

Let's be honest......

It's not much better than your own Aye.

Since Li Chong was not disappointed in him, he naturally couldn't give up, but instead studied hard and first supported a set of administrative systems.

When he read the letter from Li Tian's return, saying that Li Huanwen was fine, and he didn't cry and shout that he wanted to go back to Luoyang, Li Chong was relieved.

Isn't it just a hostage!

Qin Shi Huang was also a proton in Zhao back then.

It is precisely because of this experience that this person will become stronger and stronger in the future.

Of course!

This example may not be good, after all, Qin Shi Huang was in ancient times, and almost everyone scolded him for being a tyrant.

It doesn't matter, though.

Anyway, Qin Shi Huang was indeed very successful and became the first emperor of the ages.

Nothing compares to it.

Next......

The land reclaimed by the Western Turks themselves, as well as the steam tractor, were all left to Li Huanwen.

Li Huanwen also organized people to build the city, and as soon as the city was repaired, the country was hastily established.

As for the people......

Li Chengqian also issued an edict again, like Liaodong before: If he goes to the Western Regions, he will be exempted from taxes for 20 years, and even exempted from all forced labor.

Other than that......

In the future, the meal will be free, and you can eat with your belly open like in Liaodong.

At this time, it attracted a lot of poor people.

In recent years, the impact of drought and locust plague has also given hope to the poor people in Guanzhong.

Although the Western Regions is not a good place, as long as you can eat enough, it is good.

Then after persuasion, the envoy said that you know, in Liaodong, it was originally said to be a bitter cold place, but now, the people there are better off than the people of Chang'an and Luoyang.

Even......

Until now, they didn't have to spend money to eat.

Their children can still go to the Academy of Sciences, study, and become officials in the future.

What the Academy of Sciences is, you should all know.

That was the place where Li Chong, the first colt of the dynasty, was founded.

Henceforth......

In the Western Regions, there will also be an academy of sciences, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your future heirs and your family.

Do you want to get ahead!

Do you want to glorify your entire family!

This is a nonsense blow, don't say it, Li Chong wants to go.

But it does!

They do have that opportunity.

This is a new piece of cake, which is much more promising than staying in Datang involution.

At last......

Under the vigorous publicity of the migration envoys, the number of applicants is also increasing day by day.

No one wants to be at the bottom of society all the time.

Although it is very good to stay in Chang'an and Luoyang, and it is very convenient to do everything, the problem is, convenience is convenient, you have no money, how can you be convenient?

When I entered the East and West Second City, I touched my arms, and I couldn't take out a copper coin, so it was meaningless no matter how convenient it was.

And then......

Of course, some people will also ask those who have been defenders in the Western Regions, and these soldiers also bluntly said that indeed, over there, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty eat and drink for free.

And......

In terms of food, it is definitely enough, and you can eat and die of it.

It's this vegetable aspect, it's really a little worse.

However, in Datang, they basically eat wild vegetables, and in recent years, they have begun to grow lettuce, and the supply of mutton has also increased year by year.

Every festival, they can eat glaive-shaped wontons stuffed with mutton, so it is indeed bitter to say bitterness when you guard over there, but in terms of eating, I don't feel disadvantaged at all.

Moreover, like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there is a lot of hair.

If you inquire about it like this, you basically have an understanding of the situation over there.

Can you eat enough?

As long as you can eat enough!

In ancient times, being able to eat enough was already considered a luxury.
