Xiao Zhonggong was taken aback after reading Yelu Dashi's letter, his heart was puzzled, and his face was cloudy, he knew about the Western Liao regime, but he didn't know that it was built by Yelu Dashi, in fact, the reason why Yelu Dashi was able to establish the Western Liao regime was completely dependent on Xiao Mimi's power and appeal. γBaidu Search Member Loginγ
Time has passed, and the Western Liao Khitan, which was also strong for a while, is now embattled and facing tremendous pressure, first of all, the domestic situation is unstable, and many of the Khotanese people, Uighurs and Turks of the original Black Khan are gradually reluctant to resist under the control of the Khitans!
The original Khitan people have slowly become a minority, and many people have the idea of returning to the east, their hometown is between the white mountains and black waters, in the wild Western Regions, life is becoming more and more difficult, and the resistance of the local people is becoming more and more fierce, many people are tired of this life, so many people want to return to the east!
But the greatest threat came from the western part of the Western Liao Empire, and the chaos of the entire region in Central Asia brought about by the westward migration of the Turkic tribes of the Tang Dynasty not only contributed to the decline of the local Tatar Persian state, but also caused the collapse of the Kushan Empire, which lasted for nearly a thousand years!
This side of the power has been reshuffled, the huge Arab empire has gone into decline, and the influence on Central Asia is also weakening, and at this time, the power of a part of the Turks is just rising, and the rise of the Western Turks will inevitably bring the response of the Turkic people in the Western Liao, so this vigorous national movement has begun.
At this time, Yelu Dashi was having a headache about the difficulties of the Khitan Eastward Return Forces in China, and he was naturally even more anxious when he encountered such a thing, and after weighing and comparing the current grim form, he decided to ask for help from Ye Lihong and Sigdali in the Western Regions, because Ye Lihong and Sigdali are now facing the same problem.
When Xiao Ming was about to go to conquer Japan, he had already expressed his policy towards the entire Western Liao regime through Alima, that is, appropriate help and mutual assistance, so Ye Lihong and Sigdali still gave financial and food support to Yelu Dashi, but this did not fundamentally solve the problem.
After several negotiations, Yelu Dashi, as a politician, finally made an important decision, that is, to return to the Song Dynasty, but he hoped that Xiao Ming could help him solve the problem of the Turkic forces in the country first! This piece of land was once a place established by many Khitan warriors who shed their blood with their heads, and Yelu Dashi didn't want to lose it so easily.
If this kind of problem is to be fundamentally solved, it is necessary for the Great Song Dynasty to make a clear statement on this vast territory of the Western Regions! This letter has been transferred to the cabinet of the Great Song Dynasty through the special envoy of the Western Regions a month ago, and Xiao Ming is still a little uncertain about this matter, if he takes the entire Central Asian region, will it be of any benefit to the Great Song Dynasty.
At present, the control of the entire Western Regions is entirely based on autonomy, and Xiao Ming authorized Ye Lihong and Sigdali to formulate corresponding policies and regulations according to the specific local conditions, and the Great Song court appointed them as the governors of the entire Western Regions, in charge of the northern and southern sides of the original Uighur Kingdom.
Xiao Ming also knew that since ancient times, the local ethnic issues in the Western Regions have been a relatively difficult problem, so after he returned to Japan, he still had an attitude of approval when he learned that Yang Qizhong specifically returned to the Western Regions to target the ethnic issues, but during this time, Yang Qizhong seemed to have gone a little too far! He killed no less than 100,000 Turks in the Western Regions!
So a large number of Turkic tribes began to flee to the sexuality, and the closest place they fled was the Black Khan Xiliao under the rule of Yelu Dashi, which undoubtedly made the already complex form worse, and this was also Yelu Dashi had to make a move to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, so this time Xiao Ming found Xiao Zhonggong.
Of course, he also has to look at Xiao Zhonggong's own meaning, Yelu Dashi's letter did not say so directly about his current difficulties, but Xiao Ming knew that he was already struggling, and the Western Liao regime, which was short of money and food, was now even a problem to maintain an armed force, and a large number of Khitan warriors joined the ranks of returning to the east, which made the Khitan people in Western Liao decrease sharply.
This situation will not change, Yelu Dashi will not last next year, Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhonggong probably talked about some things in this regard, the purpose is to let him understand the overall situation of the entire Western Liao Kingdom, but it is not said that the matter of his attempt to rebel is just like that, but if you let Xiao Ming punish Xiao Zhonggong, he really doesn't know what to do.
"Do you want me to go to Xiliao?" Xiao Zhonggong asked.
"You help me bring a letter to Yelu Dashi, and if he agrees with my suggestion, I will then send troops to Western Liao, the current king of the Western Turks is called "Aswan", this person does not know much, I need all the information about this person! β
Xiao Zhonggong said: "Is this considered a distribution?" β
Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Big brother, do you know that the current railway has been built to Shazhou and other places, and it will only take a few days at most to go to the Western Regions. β
Xiao Zhonggong muttered, "It seems that this world has really changed!" He nodded and said to Xiao Ming: "Okay, I'll run for you, what else do you need to explain?" β
Xiao Ming said to him after a long silence: "You stay in Ningxia Autonomous Province for a while, I will ask Cao Yi to allocate some food for you over there, you take it to Xiliao, after Lord Cao finishes this matter, he will probably leave for Nanjing!" β
Xiao Zhonggong stood up and said, "Okay! I'll just make a trip to thank my brother for his kindness, but I guess it's not just to send food to Yelu Dashi, right? If you have anything else to say, I'll tell you all about it."
Xiao Ming said: "The Khitan people returning to the east is a big problem, how to settle the huge amount of money they need, but this is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is to let them not only adapt to the current world but also wrap up the nomadic life they like, so that they will not go hungry because of the change of weather, so you need to help me investigate it well along the way!" β
Xiao Zhonggong nodded, his opinion of Xiao Ming changed even more, this person's heart is concerned about all the people in the world, with his status and status, he has to worry about whether the Khitan people who return to the east are hungry, it seems that he does not only value the Han people!
"And! You told Yelu Dashi that the land established by the Khitans could not be seized by the Turks, this is all the land of my Chinese Great Song Dynasty, and every inch is useful, so our limit is not to give in! Xiao Ming admonished.
Xiao Zhonggong nodded and asked, "When will I leave?" β
"Without further ado, tomorrow you will set off, first take the train to Yanjing Mansion, then arrive at Jingzhao Mansion from the south line, and finally go north to Xingqing Mansion, from where you will go directly to Liangzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou. and Shazhou, the railway has been smooth, but after arriving at Shazhou, you may have to change to a horse-drawn carriage, and this journey may be a little harder."
Xiao Zhonggong said: "The Gobi Desert is magnificent! β
Xiao Ming said: "You will know on the road, in fact, the scenery there is very good, come!" I won't give you you tomorrow, this bowl of wine will be regarded as a brother's march for you! β
"Good! Dry! β
"!"
After solving this matter, Xiao Ming rushed to Port Arthur the next day, he was going to take a ship back to Hangzhou, stopping at the Weihai base on the way, with the current construction speed of the Weihai base, it has basically replaced the status of Liaodong's maritime port for Goryeo Japan! Since most of the migrant boats from Japan dock from Weihai, the wharf here is very busy.
The largest city in Weihai is already Weihai City, which is built around the base, and there is a reception office specially arranged by the imperial court for immigrants, basically immigrants from Japan will be sent directly to the train to Qinfeng Road, where there will be special personnel to distribute various production and daily necessities for them, and organize them to go to the built settlement.
There are a few places that Xiao Ming deliberately arranged when he was in the layout, Weihai is one of them, in the wave of "new Songzhou" exploration and commercial exploration that is gradually setting off, the shipbuilding and port located in Weihai gradually highlight a lot of advantages, at least the coal yard here can be used to supplement the fuel that the ships preparing to go north to the North Sea!
Xiao Ming went directly to Jinan Prefecture Tokyo, Jinan Prefecture was designated as the Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty for less than a year, and various construction undertakings have not yet been in place, but it has natural advantages, the entire Central Plains region, Yanzhou's coal mines, Xuzhou's iron mines, and oil mining are its nearby economic advantages.
At the same time, the mouth of the sea located in Weihai is also large-scale, the local cement glass manufacturing is unusually developed, and a large number of iron ore has been discovered, the steel smelting and manufacturing industry in the whole Shandong region is also second only to the two Zhejiang Road and the Jiangnan region, which should be the fastest growing area in the entire eastern region.
Xiao Ming remembered the later generations, at that time it seemed that there was a Eurasian land bridge facilities to pass through the entire Shandong region, so it was very important to strengthen the economy of the entire Shandong region, Xiao Ming's inspection was very satisfied, he encouraged the local government to pay attention to the local people's livelihood issues, try to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and at the same time to the agricultural policy, and strive to build the Huanghuai area of Jingdong East Road into the eastern grain and industrial powerhouse.
After Xiao Ming returned to Hangzhou, he didn't stay too much and went directly north to Jinling Mansion in Nanjing, during which he only went to visit Ding Jianpeng, because last time Ding Jianpeng told him that he was ready to carry out the work of power facilities, and now he has begun the intense test stage, at least the monoacid copper plate power generation device has been made, and now it is stuck in the experiment of extracting carbon filaments.
The development of science and technology has always been the basis for Xiao Ming's transformation of the Great Song Dynasty, so he gave Ding Jianpeng priority to the preparation of funds and the support of equipment personnel, as for how many scientific and technological achievements in later generations can be reproduced, it takes a certain amount of time and countless experiments to pile up, so he is not in a hurry.
After returning to Nanjing, Xiao Ming immediately contacted Yang Qizhong, the flying kite needed to go through several transfers at this distance, he needed to know the latest situation of Yang Qizhong in the Western Regions, after several contacts, Yang Qizhong made a judgment on the situation in the entire Western Regions.
This judgment is that a war with the Western Turks is imperative and must be fought! He needs Xiao Ming to prepare for war mobilization immediately, and the soldiers don't need to worry about it, the key is that the preparation of logistics materials is very important, and the latest weapons, ammunition and supplies are priorities.
Isn't it a bit risky to prepare for war against Southeast Asia at the same time, but also to support the war against the Western Turks? Xiao Ming was a little hesitant about this, he was not worried that he would not win the war, but that he would start a war again after the Great Song Dynasty had just recovered its vitality, which would inevitably make the people in the DPRK and China oppose his decision.
When Xiao Ming held a meeting in the cabinet to discuss the situation in the Western Regions, Xiaozong personally came to the cabinet to observe, and was very interested in the rise of Aswan in the Western Turks, so he directly interrupted the cabinet meeting and jumped out and shouted loudly.
"Mr. Ding said that the war with the Turks in the Tang Dynasty was a final failure, how can my Great Song Dynasty make the same mistake again this time, fight! Be sure to hit ......! β
