The reform of the Gong clan continues to advance, and the will of the Son of Heaven cannot be changed. Even if many local Haoqiang are dissatisfied, they dare not have the slightest complaint.

Originally, these local Haoqiang were all big households in various counties, even if the imperial court restricted Haoqiang, they could grow and occupy more land, population and other resources.

Now there are several families who have suddenly arrived, not only distributing land, but also weapons and armor, and there are also connections in the official face, which makes other local heroes compete with them.

The official means can't be used, if you really start to do it, how can they stop these people who have swords and armor?

Daqian does not ban swords and bows and arrows, but prohibits armor, crossbow arrows and long ge. In cold weapon combat, there is a world of difference in combat effectiveness between those with armor and those without armor.

Such a few strong men with armor and weapons can walk sideways in the county. The local heroes can only pinch their noses and admit it, but fortunately, the land of a county is large enough to accommodate it, but it can't be as unscrupulous as before.

Wang Ke gave these children of the clan opportunities and resources, and how far they can grow in the end depends on their respective creations.

In the Western Regions, with Wang Zhuo constantly sending some items and letters, Wang Ke already has a clearer understanding of the Western Regions.

In the past, there were also some merchants who went to the Western Regions to do business, but because of their lack of strength, most of them stopped at Hanhai. So the perception of the desolation of the Western Regions was spread.

Of course, a large part of this was deliberately done by these merchants, who came to the Western Regions, although they did not go deep into it, but the rich gems and jade in the Western Regions were discovered by them.

After discovering that the extremely valuable gems and jade in the Central Plains were just ordinary in the Western Regions, these merchants had a tacit understanding to conceal the news, just saying that the Western Regions were desolate, and never mentioning the abundance of gold and jade gems in the Western Regions.

Wang Ke knew that although there was a desert Gobi in the Western Regions, it was also an extremely magnificent land, with majestic mountains, flowing rivers, lush poplar forests, vast grasslands, and countless lands suitable for cultivation.

But even if he told others about the situation in the Western Regions, those people would only think that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to send them to the Western Regions.

Faced with this situation, Wang Ke could not forcibly let people go to the Western Regions. But later, when he was worshipping the heavens and worshipping his ancestors, after getting the guidance of the ancestors, he had changed his mind and wanted to run the Western Regions into his own back garden.

The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, the transportation is inconvenient, and the Hanhai Desert is blocked, and the connection with the Central Plains is not close, and there is also land suitable for cultivation, and the strength of the surrounding other countries is also very limited, so it can be used as the Wang family's own land.

So Wang Ke began to increase his support for the Western Regions, sending more people to the Western Regions to open up the Western Regions.

Originally, Wang Zhuo only took 400 people to the Western Regions, and he has traveled almost all over the Western Regions over the years, and has also occupied a piece of territory in the Western Regions.

This land is not large, the output is not much, and there are tens of thousands of acres of arable land. At that time, Wang Zhuo led two hundred forest guards across the Western Regions, and taught the surrounding countries a lesson, and only then did he become the master of this land.

The Western Regions had a long distance, logistical supply difficulties, and harassment by the Huns, making it basically impossible for the army to march westward. Therefore, the elite westward expedition of a few hundred people is the best way.

In the previous life, the Western Han Dynasty marched westward, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an army of 100,000, but the loss of troops and the logistical pressure almost collapsed the army.

Later, after taking control of the Western Regions, the Western Regions Protectorate was established, and the Han Dynasty only stationed thousands of soldiers, because it was too far away from the Central Plains and the logistics could not keep up.

At the same time, most of these countries in the Western Regions are small countries with a population of only one or two hundred thousand, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions only needs a few thousand elites to beat the Quartet. Those countries in the Western Regions will have a chance unless they can work together and unite with the Xiongnu.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions can completely win over a few countries and defend the Western Regions.

It's just that this method of governance is basically a feudal rule, just like the feudal states set up by the Tang Dynasty on the remote border, but they nominally belong to the Tang Dynasty, and the affairs of the prefectures and counties are still ruled by the original people, and the taxes paid are very few.

During the Tang Dynasty, the armed forces were prosperous, and the government soldiers fought in all directions, but the entire four towns of Anxi together were only more than 20,000 people. You must know that at that time, the Tang Dynasty had already occupied most of the Western Regions, rather than being ruled by fetters.

However, the four towns of Anxi, which are so strong, still need continuous blood transfusion from the Central Plains, and when the Central Plains changes dramatically, a large army was dispatched to help, and there was no blood transfusion from the Central Plains, and as a result, the four towns of Anxi were soon occupied by foreign races.

Seriously speaking, the rule of the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty over the Western Regions is not very stable, and the natives of the Western Regions are also capricious, sometimes descending and sometimes rebelling.

Didn't the ancestors of that time know that if it wasn't for my race, their hearts would be different? Why didn't they all be wiped out?

Could it be that the ancestors had a loving heart? Or didn't think of this?

It's not that they don't want to do it, it's that they can't.

The cost of sending the Central Plains army to the past is too high, and it also needs to be stationed for a long time, and the amount of grain and grass it costs to maintain an army of 100,000 troops thousands of miles away can be said to be extremely amazing.

The Western Regions is too vast, there are fewer people dispatched, so they can't control so many places, and there will be many careerists who rebel, but there are too many people dispatched, and the logistics can't support it.

If you want to control the Western Regions, you can only immigrate a large number of people from Zhuxia to the Western Regions, and when the people of Zhuxia occupy 30% of the population in the Western Regions, then Zhuxia will be able to control the Western Regions.

Of course, there is another method, which is the method used by a great power that appeared in the Western Regions in the previous life - religious belief.

Forcibly professing a religion by force, and then ruling with the help of religion.

However, religion is a double-edged sword, which can control those people, and if one is not careful, it is also easy to be eaten by religion, causing divine power to overwhelm imperial power.

Wang Ke drew 800 clans this time, and each of these clans had a Yu Linwei. According to their weapons and equipment, they can completely destroy some countries, and even the so-called single Yu of the Huns can be broken.

Wang Ke dispatched 800 clans, and then went to support Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo has been operating in the Western Regions for several years, and thousands of natives from the Western Regions have joined him, cultivating for him and providing logistics.

After receiving Wang Ke's support this time, the number of Yulinwei in Wang Zhuo's hands reached 1,000, and his strength increased greatly.

At the same time, Wang Ke also sent the treasure [Eye of Spring Water] over, with this Eye of Spring Water, Wang Zhuo could immediately turn the surrounding Gobi Desert into a large oasis, and then this would be a foundation of the Wang family.

At the same time, artifacts such as the Eye of the Spring can create a miracle or even create a religion directly. When the time comes, it will depend on Wang Zhuo's operation.
