Huaxia pays attention to returning to the roots, and there are still a few soldiers who are willing to stay in the Western Regions, only more than 2,700 people.

Li Yue gave them the land and ordered the mansions, wives and daughters of the former Qiuzi nobles to be rewarded to them.

Like Wang Meng in Guanzhong, the Western Regions Protectorate also adopted strict punishment methods, the Liang people killed slaves, whipped fifty, confiscated half of the family property, and the slaves killed the Liang people, and the car was split.

In short, a principle is to ensure the interests of meritorious soldiers to the greatest extent, so that they can settle down and take root in the Western Regions.

More than 2,700 people have been multiplying for more than ten years, and the number has gradually risen.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and population migration cannot be achieved overnight.

But what Li Yue didn't expect was that these interests did not have much attraction to the Black Cloud Army, but they made the powerful tribes in Liangzhou salivate.

They have been in the border area for a long time, and they don't have much attachment to the Kanto and Kansai regions, so they adapt to the mixed environment of Hu and Xia, and know the wealth of the Western Regions.

Liangzhou is narrow and has many people, and the average family does not live well.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, a large number of Guanxi people moved to Gaochang, just as many people fled from Hebei to Liaodong.

The four great heroes of Gaochang, Kan, Zhang, Ma, and Koji took turns to sit in the village during the three hundred years of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and established a Han country in the Western Regions, Gaochang State, which continued to the early Tang Dynasty, openly argued with Li Erdi, and was attacked and destroyed by Hou Junji.

Kansai Haoqiang is the most enterprising group of people in Chinese history.

If you want to run the Western Regions, you can't bypass these people.

Li Yue originally wanted to reward some livestock, money, food, and women to reward them for their assistance, but they didn't expect that after they saw Li Yue's edict to reward the Black Cloud Army, they took the initiative to ask to stay in the town of Qiuzi, just asking for the same treatment as the Black Cloud Army.

That is, to have land, to have women, to have a mansion, and to have status.

Since the Haoqiang can migrate to Gaochang, they can move to Qiuzi.

Li Yue couldn't ask for it, wishing they would harm outsiders, the world is so big, some land is for them to annex, and some are for the population to enslave.

To a certain extent, the nobles are actually part of the Chinese elite, with money, food, and knives, which are the core force of external expansion.

You must know that during the Qin Dynasty, Liangzhou was not a Chinese land.

Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, Han Kailiangzhou four counties, hundreds of years, the Guanxi Shi clan flourished, and the Guanlong group was formed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

A lot of land, only if they stand firm first, can they gradually be sinicized.

"Accurate!" Li Yue immediately made a decision.

"Haoqiang moved to Qiuci, but I am afraid that after a hundred years, Qiuci is not owned by the state, so it is better to change it to the prince's feudal state." Lu Qing put forward a rather constructive suggestion.

Li Yue was greatly moved, but although Qiuzi was rich, due to geographical influence, there was little potential for development to the west, but to the east to annex Yanqi, Gaochang, Shanshan as its first choice, and then watch Liangzhou.

If you seal a prince here, I am afraid that it will not take a hundred years, and after a few decades, it will turn around and head east.

Geography determines fate.

"Qiuzi is too small, wait for Murong Chui to take the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and then seal the country, I will not only seal the country in the Western Regions, but also Goguryeo and Mobei in the future!"

After the destruction of Qiuzi, Suwen, Huhu and other countries, Li Yue was ambitious.

Although the Sixteen Kingdoms were in troubled times, they had trained a large number of elite soldiers and fierce generals, and basically pressed the surrounding forces to fight.

During his lifetime, Li Yue wanted to do his best to expand the territory of Chinese civilization.

Just like this expedition to the west, the benefits brought by the destruction of the turtles completely covered the investment.

Money, grain, and slaves are only short-term interests, and longer-term interests are trade routes.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Qing was stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Yue's mind to be so big.

"This battle hero has contributed a lot, we eat meat, and we must give them some bones, otherwise who will play with me in the future?" Li Yue said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is not afraid that they will develop and grow?"

"Don't you say a hundred years from now? As long as the beam is strong, there are loyal dogs in all directions, and the problem is inside and not outside. ”

In fact, the more frontier you are, the stronger the centripetal force towards the center.

Taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Hexi Corridor was invaded and occupied by Tubo, and all parts of the Central Plains were divided and self-reliant, but the Anxi army resisted Tubo for 40 years, and the young man became white-haired and would rather die than surrender.

As soon as the power of Tubo weakened, the Zhang, Yin, Suo, Cao and other major clans in Liangzhou immediately revolted, and the Guiyi Army made Zhang Yichao return the eleven states to the Tang Dynasty......

Li Yue would rather rise as a Chinese kingdom in the Western Regions in two or three hundred years than fall into the dust.

As soon as the new edict was issued, the heroes of the entire Liangzhou clan were boiling.

Isn't it for the sake of land and wealth?

Li Yue gave it all.

Not only Liangzhou Haoqiang, but even the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang chieftains are also ready to move.

Their desire to be aggressive is not below the Liang people.

Many tribes migrated from the desert thousands of miles away and scattered in the cool land of Qin.

Tuyuhun even ran all the way from Liaodong to Xihai......

The heavy snow could not stop the enthusiasm of the Hao chiefs, and they rushed to Guzang one by one to meet them, "We are loyal to Daliang, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow our clan to enter the Western Regions." ”

Qifu, Fusi, Chulian, Qilu, Huyan, Dugu, Peng, etc., most of the Hao chiefs in Liangzhou came.

Liangzhou Haoqiang is his own people, but although these people have a good relationship recently, they are outsiders after all.

Once it has a firm foothold in the Western Regions, the harm is not small.

But don't chill their hearts.

Li Yue had an idea, the Western Regions are not only Qiuzi, Yanqi, and Gaochang, but also the Seven River Basins north of the Tianshan Mountains, the west of the Green Mountains, and the rich Hexi, if these Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianghu are organized, it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

It is best to be able to fight the Seven River Basin, but if you can't beat it, these people have suffered heavy casualties, and it can be regarded as going to Liangzhou for a disaster.

You can't be too simple to be an emperor these days.

This generation of Hao chiefs has a good relationship with themselves, but what about the next two generations?

They have been thriving in Liangzhou for decades and their strength is strong, once the Central Plains is turbulent, will they still be so honest?

Zhuge Wuhou captured Meng seven times and captured seven columns, and after the starfall of Wuzhang Yuan, southern Xinjiang rebelled year after year.

"The turtle is small, and it is not able to support the tribes for the time being, so it is better to wait for the spring to warm up next year, and counterattack the north of the Tianshan Mountains and the west of the Green Mountains, and I will reward you with this soil?" Li Yue looked at the wealthy chiefs amiably, as if looking at the leeks growing vigorously in his own land.

Using their knives and lives to open up land for the Great Liang is simply unprofitable.

However, these people can mix with the wealthy chiefs of a clan, and they are definitely not big-chested and brainless, they all have big eyes and small eyes, and no one speaks.

In these years, leeks are not so easy to cut, one by one, monkeys and monkeys, and there are no rabbits and eagles.

"Why, can't you believe me? Without you, the Great Liang soldiers would have been able to capture these lands! Li Yue retreated as an advance.
