Take the current Central Asian region as an example, the tribes are hostile to each other, the Tang Dynasty court and they are also hostile to each other, we belong to the vulnerable group here, if you want to do something, then you must use a large number of troops, now is the time to fight with the Arab Empire, we have a lot of troops here, but this war will end sooner or later, once the war is over, these people will have to return to the Tang mainland, it is impossible to continue to be stationed here.

Once our army retreats, then the local Han people and the bureaucracy set up are very likely to be impacted, although there are contradictions between the local tribes, they also have a sense of the overall situation, and the biggest enemies between the tribes should be these Han people from the east.

Therefore, Li Xiang does not recommend that the bureaucrats and businessmen in Central Asia form their own private armed forces, which may cause the tail to be too big in the future, or it is possible that they will be relatively independent, but no matter what, at least these people are still subject to the Tang court, and without the protection of the Tang court, their life will definitely be worse.

Li Xiang believes that these people will weigh the pros and cons, even if they develop these areas well, even if they reach the position of the four khanates of the Great Yuan Dynasty, then what can they do? After all, this place is not a suitable place for people to live at all, and the population is unlikely to develop too much.

So in this case, Li Xiang agreed to their development, ostensibly to give them a chance, but in fact, it was just to let them play a part of the security of Central Asia, in addition to the Tang army, they were also a group of civilian officials and soldiers who did not need the responsibility of the imperial court.

In the inland areas of the Tang Dynasty, the major powerful landlords have strict restrictions, how many people can use knives and guns in your farms, the local government must carry out long-term inspections, and this policy has not been implemented in the Western Regions, that is because the major powerful landlords have not yet developed, and after you develop, the Tang Dynasty will have to put a hat on you.

Everyone knew that the Tang Dynasty would do this, but they still couldn't resist the attraction of this aspect, who didn't want to have an obedient private army under their subordinates? Especially in such a piece of land, as long as your strength is strong enough, then you will be able to make enough profits.

After breakfast, the soldiers outside came in to report that there were more than a dozen strange soldiers in the distance, these people should be the relatively large tribes in Ganyun County, according to the results of the previous investigation, the tribes in Ganyun County are divided into three major factions.

In the previous Arab and Tang wars, these dozen tribes sent a total of nearly 2,000 troops, and then they were all defeated in the Western Regions, and now although some stragglers are swimming back, but these tribes are not much stronger, and some of the remaining young people have been captured and sent to labor camps.

"Why are these people's skin so white?"

"And the red hair..."

There are also many foreigners in Chang'an City, but there are not too many at one time, and they will only appear in a specific area, and now I have seen a lot of Westerners in the Western Regions, and these people's faces also show ornamental eyes, as if they are looking at some animals.

"I don't know much about this, but I heard from His Royal Highness Taisun, what is the land under our feet called Central Asia, anyway, there are already Westerners here, some of them live here alone, and some are combined with the Huns, anyway, there are all kinds of people, you just need to remember that the hearts of non-our races must be different, these people can use them, but they must not be trusted."

Li Chengyi stayed by Li Xiang's side for a while, so he also learned a lot of knowledge from Li Xiang, he himself is a big old man, and now he sees the vanity in the hearts of several scholars who are submissive in front of him, it is really bursting, you people usually look down on us martial artists, don't you still want to ask for advice from martial artists like me?

When Li Chengyi was talking, there were also 4 people coming down from the carriage behind, these 4 people all performed better in the labor camp, and according to the policy of the Tang Dynasty, they would be counselors for the county orders here.

"The home of these people is in your territory, and there are old and young in the family, some of the children have been sent to Samarkand, we have set up a school there to teach some knowledge to their children, so that they can be used by me in the future, I have already taught these people, if you have anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask them specifically."

After hearing Li Chengyi's words, Wang Decheng also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there are locals to help us, then we are not deaf and blind here, if everything has to go out of a way by ourselves, it is too difficult, if it is a little bit bad, it will be the result of a catastrophe.

The others also looked at the carriage behind them, and it seemed that there were quite a few people on it, and when they arrived at their station, General Li would definitely give them a batch of similar people, which was the first batch of locals they had subdued in the local area.

"Meet the King..."

Only two of these four people can speak Chinese, and the remaining two people can understand it, but they are still learning, but this is already quite good, and it is really not easy to find so many people who can speak Chinese in such a place.

Wang Decheng pulled these people to the side to exchange feelings, and the cavalry in the distance was already slowly coming, when Li Chengyi saw these teams of cavalry, he was also embarrassed in his heart, most of them were over 50 years old, otherwise they would be less than 15 years old, it seems that because of this war, the young people of the surrounding tribes have already had a fault.

Of course, this has nothing to do with us, Li Chengyi is not a, after all, war is to die, and you are in the camp of the vanquished, so there will be more deaths, although there are still some young people, but all of them are locked up in labor camps.

"Meet General Lee..."

Seven or eight old men have come down from the warhorses, they are all tribal leaders, and some of the tribes are young children, it seems that many of the old people in the tribe can't hold on, so they can only send these children out, they have long heard about the policies of the Tang Dynasty, and now they are also upset!
