"Ladies and gentlemen, Li is preparing to establish the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. The Metropolitan Protectorate set up a large metropolitan protector, one person on the left and right sides, one person for defense, one for soldiers and horses, and one for Yingtian. Most of the protectors, Li is not humble and takes charge of it himself. Lord Guo and General Zheng respectively served as the left and right protectors, the left and right protectors were equivalent to the deputy metropolitan guards, Lord Jin served as the defense envoy, General Lu served as the soldiers and horses envoys, and Ma Junshou served as the camp field envoys. The decision of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was decided by the six of us and the other six people. What do you think? ”

Guo Zongyu and Zheng Lun didn't speak, and Li Lingwei had to open his mouth to say his thoughts. Although he did not directly say independence, he clearly explained the division of labor among the six people present, and the meaning of it is self-evident.

Not only that, but his division of labor also made it clear to the few people present that he was willing to share the power of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate with everyone and jointly manage this territory. Of course, Li Lingwei had no way to choose such an arrangement, and he had to make such a compromise, otherwise, his troops would not be enough to control all the existing territory.

"General, may I ask how the original soldiers and horses will be placed?"

After listening to Li Lingwei's introduction, this time Guo Zongyu spoke first. However, he did not immediately call Li Lingwei the protector of the capital, but still called him a general. Obviously, Guo Zongyu will definitely not give a clear answer until he gets a clear answer from the military power. He will never lose the military power.

"Lord Guo Shao'an is not impatient, since Lord Guo mentioned the matter of soldiers and horses, then Li will talk about his thoughts on this matter, and several adults can criticize and correct if it is inappropriate!" Li Lingwei did not feel annoyed because Guo Zongyu did not answer immediately, but motioned for everyone to listen to him slowly.

"Okay, I'll wait and listen to the general's arrangement!" Guo Zongyu arched his hand.

"At present, we still have 300,000 soldiers and horses in our hands. Li prepared to divide these soldiers and horses into four armies. They are the Anxi Army, the Zhenxi Army, the Pingxi Army and the Zhengxi Army. Lord Guo is also the governor of the Anxi Army, formed with the original troops, and the Anxi Army is full of 100,000. Lord Zheng is also the governor of the Zhenxi Army, and the original army is formed, and the Zhenxi Army is full of 100,000. The governor of the Pingxi Army was concurrently served by Li, and the governor of the Western Army was concurrently served by Lord Jin, and the full quota of the two armies was 100,000. ”

When Li Lingwei said this, he paused a little and let everyone digest it a little.

"Considering that your lordships are usually very busy, each army has set up a deputy governor to manage daily military affairs in place of your lords. Each army has set up a number of battalions, battalion commanders, deputy generals, staff generals, etc., which are arranged by each army itself, and the Metropolitan Protectorate does not interfere, but the commanders of each battalion need to go to the Metropolitan Protectorate for the record, and the Metropolitan Protectorate will issue a formal appointment. ”

Seeing that everyone had almost digested it, Li Lingwei continued to introduce.

Obviously, Li Lingwei's arrangement completely took into account the respective powers and interests of the few people present, especially their military power. At this time, at the time of the creation, Li Lingwei did not plan to seize the military power of Guo Zongyu and Zheng Lun, so as not to cause unnecessary turmoil.

"The arrangement of the protection of the capital is reasonable, and we will strictly abide by the order of the protection of the capital, and we will work together to manage the protection of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Government well."

This time, as soon as Li Lingwei's voice fell, Guo Zongyu and Zheng Lun immediately took the lead in responding to the peace, with a completely different attitude from just now, and they were respectful. Obviously, these guys were still very satisfied with Li Lingwei's arrangement and got what they wanted.

However, looking at the performance of Guo Zongyu and Zheng Lun, Li Lingwei already remembered these two guys in his heart. In the future, when the conditions are ripe, we must find a way to get rid of these two guys and gather their men and horses into our hands. Of course, this matter is still urgent.

After everyone got what they wanted, their interest immediately soared, and they began to offer suggestions.

The Protectorate of Western Xinjiang was naturally not established as soon as it was announced. In other words, it's not like it's okay as soon as it's established. The Great Qin Dynasty naturally can't take care of the affairs of Western Xinjiang for the time being. However, as far as Li Lingwei and others are concerned, since they have chosen such a path, they must consider how to stabilize their own interests.

First of all, you need to be able to hold your own turf.

Then, it's about expanding the territory as much as possible.

Turf is always the most important thing. Turf means strength. With territory, it is possible to have resources, people, money, food and materials, and so on.

Therefore, several people agreed, and the first thing they all thought of was one thing, that is, taking advantage of the chaos in the court and the fact that their own strength was still superior, they first took the territory currently controlled by the Suo Barbarian Army and the Yumen Army into their hands, and at the same time incorporated the remnants of this army.

In their own words, it is to concentrate the forces that can be concentrated first, and then fight the barbarians with all their might. Of course, whether to do it or not to do it is another matter. However, it is the most important thing to integrate the men and horses of the two remnants of the army first.

Several decision-makers of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate quickly reached a consensus and made the first major decision after the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, which was to expand its power.

At present, the sphere of influence of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate is the ten counties within the influence of the former Zhen Barbarian Army. Of course, these ten counties can only be regarded as nominally under their control. For example, like Huangsha City, Ximen Xiong is still the city lord on the surface, but most of the power is already in the hands of Ma Shuo.

Of course, Ma Shuo nominally belonged to the supernumerary forces of Li Mu's Shanzi Battalion, and Li Mu's Shanzi Battalion was incorporated into the sequence of the Pingxi Army by Li Lingwei. Of course, this time, in order to better control his soldiers and horses, and also to train his son, Li Lingwei will let Li Mu serve as the deputy governor of the Pingxi Army, and manage the daily military affairs of the Pingxi Army instead of him.

Of the ten counties in the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, there are currently six within the sphere of influence of Li Lingwei's family, and in addition, Guo Zongyu accounts for two and Zheng Lun occupies two. According to the current situation, the problem of providing military horses for each individual will be solved by each of them in their own way. The Western Xinjiang Protectorate could only give some symbolic support, because the Western Xinjiang Protectorate had just been established and did not yet have enough materials and property. There is no way, who made the situation in this world change so quickly?

Originally, Li Lingwei had never thought about being an independent family at all. When a general of the barbarian army is in a high position, he only needs to open his mouth to the court for any resources he needs. It's a pity that something happened in the court, and the people who took over the court did not have enough ability to maintain the stability of the court, which directly led to the supply of the barbarian army.

In this case, Li Lingwei had no choice but to embark on this road for the sake of suppressing the barbarian army and for himself. It's just that this road is so easy to follow?

After Li Lingwei, Guo Zongyu and others reached an agreement and formed the first major decision after the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, they began to let everyone start to prepare. Then he returned to his lodgings with some exhaustion.

After coming back, Li Lingwei did not rest immediately, but asked people to call his son Li Mu!

There are some things that he still needs to discuss with his son.
