    ,

    When Liang Zhen led his army to attack the Fergana Basin, the main force of the Datong Army was dividing troops to attack Urumqi and Balikun.

    Both places are fertile soil that can be cultivated, but at this time they are all nomadic tribes, and the cities built in the Yuan Dynasty have long been abandoned.

    When the Datong army reached Urumqi, the local tribes fled directly.

    Among them, the Kuben Nuo Yat tribe fled to the northwest to join Junggar.  Galdan Dorji tribe fled to the northeast to join Heshuote.

    The Datong Army did not chase after it, and directly placed 5,000 civilians here, and rebuilt a new city on the site of Bali City in Yangji in the Yuan Dynasty.  This is the bridgehead for the attack on northern Xinjiang. The Datong army is on an expedition, and they are unable to go north in a short time. Controlling the Urumqi area is for the future.

    Another Datong army that attacked Balikun also encountered no resistance.

    The nine brothers who escaped from Qinghai at the beginning have died of old age and disease, and only four are left.  They had been terrified by the Datong army for a long time, so they directly abandoned the Balikun Basin and moved further north to avoid the front of the army.

    The Datong Army also did not pursue, and immigrated and built a city in Barkol as a bridgehead for future attacks on northern Xinjiang.

    Seeing that the Datong Army stopped in the two places, Galdan, who was nested and Buxar, took action.  Balikun's Heshuote tribe moved northward, and inevitably competed with the northern tribe for pastures. As a result, the Heshuote tribe fell into civil strife, and Galdan led his army to attack immediately.

    Galdan won three battles and three victories, and the Heshuo Special Department was forced to surrender.  After this guy unified northern Xinjiang, he actually declared the establishment of the Junggar Khanate, blatantly ignoring the existence of the Nanjing court.

    Northern Xinjiang has not yet been taken, nor has the Yinli River Valley, but the money, food and immigrants have been almost consumed.

    Jiang Liang applied for an additional 50,000 immigrants while applying for the allocation of money and food.

    When the cabinet ministers received the news, they all felt that the Western Regions were a bottomless pit, and when tens of millions of taels of silver were thrown in, they saw a splash. In addition to military expenses, immigration and city building were too expensive.

    The imperial court is heavily in debt and owes a huge loan to Datong Bank, and a lot of that money comes from private storage.

    Zhu Shunshui retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. Before leaving Nanjing, he privately advised in the imperial palace: "Your Majesty, most of the Western Regions have been recovered, and the rest can be taken care of slowly. The debt owed by the imperial court today is so huge that it has never been heard in the past. It must not  . . . militaristically!"

    "It must be done once and for all." Zhao Han replied.

    Zhu Shunshui sighed secretly, it is not good to persuade, because persuasion is useless.

    He is a little confused about the current financial model. The imperial courts of the past dynasties fought wars, and if they did not have enough money, they would levy additional taxes, or collect salt and iron to make a fortune, and the civilians would expropriate without pay.  The current Datong imperial court actually borrowed money from the bank to fight the war, and did not use the money in the treasury, and even paid a small amount of wages for recruiting civilians.

    However, people's livelihood in China has not been greatly affected, except for a slight increase in food prices.

    ?Zhu Shunshui retired from old age and returned to his hometown, and Wu Yingji was also weak and sick. They both retired, and Zuo Xiaoliang and Wang Tiaoding moved into the cabinet to assist in the administration.

    The imperial court once again issued an order to encourage people from the southern provinces to immigrate, and it also publicized in the newspapers, hailing the Yinli River Valley and the Fergana Basin as the pearls of the Western Regions and fortified in the south of the Yangtze River.  In the past, the land was allocated to immigrants, and they could work as officials after graduating from elementary school, and bachelors could also be assigned to wives of different races.

    In the southern provinces, the conflict between people and land has become a little obvious, and there are always people who are willing to immigrate.

    Especially for bachelors with too many brothers in the family, the land allocated in the past can only maintain food and clothing.  After they immigrated, they were able to leave a sum of money to settle down and improve their family's living conditions, so they might not have thought of going to the Western Regions.

    In the year when immigration was encouraged, tens of thousands of people signed up one after another.

    Five thousand of them immigrated to the Fergana Basin, where it has been renamed Dawan Military and Civilian Mansion.  The remaining thousands are planned to be placed in Yinli, and next year they will attack the Yinli River Valley.

    Although the battle has not yet ended, the imperial court has officially established the Anxi Protectorate.

    Among them, Dunhuang and other places were placed under Gansu Province.

    In the Hami and Balikun areas, the Yihe Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which is affiliated to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    In the Turpan and Urumqi areas, the Cheshi Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which is affiliated to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    ? In Aksu, Hotan, Kashgar, Yarkand and other places, the Shache Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which was subordinate to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    In the Congling and Dawan areas, the Dawan Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which was subordinate to the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

    Kyrgyzstan and Yinli River Valley are planning to set up the Yinli Military and Civilian Mansion, which is affiliated to the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

    ?After taking over the northern border and operating it for another ten or twenty years, the Anxi Dufu may be divided into two.  On the east side, establish Xinjiang Province.  The area to the west will continue to be governed by the Protectorate's Mansion, and then consider the establishment of a province.

    Households in each provinceDeep, but more reddish brown.  And the people on Nanman Island (New Guinea) are already leaning towards blackness, only a little better than the black people in Africa.  "

    "Do the natives of Changsheng Island have headhunting and cannibal customs?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    Li Quan shook his head and said: "I haven't encountered cannibals yet, and Changsheng Island is too big, and the indigenous tribes are very different. Some tribes already know how to build stone houses; some tribes still live in thatched huts and caves. Once,  Frightened by some native tribe!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "But want to attack outsiders?"

    Li Quan explained: "No, they are very hospitable. When we went ashore to look for fresh water, we met a tribe who used stone tools. They seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony. The man broke open the frog's belly with a stone knife, and the woman took the giant frog  Just bite. Except for the internal organs and frog skin, the rest is swallowed alive by the woman."

    "You hair drinks blood." Zhao Kuanghuan sighed.

    "Those women are seeking children," Li Quan said. "Frogs lay a lot of eggs, and the local indigenous people worship them very much. They think that women can have more children by eating giant frogs. We went up to ask about the source of water, but we couldn't figure it out after a long time.  The aborigines took us back to the tribe and invited us to dinner. They brought us blood-soaked snakes, lizards, geckos, etc. Some aborigines came over with sharp spears, pointing at the pregnant women and chattering. We were all scared  When we arrived, we thought we had encountered cannibals, so we hurriedly fled back to the seaside.¡±

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "Aren't they cannibals?"

    Li Quan shook his head and said: "No. Later, when we were looking for water sources, we happened to see the women of this tribe fetching water. After talking for several days, I probably figured out that the indigenous people are really inviting us to dinner. They are very kind and enthusiastic.  , but can't eat cooked food, and don't even know how to make a fire."

    Zhao Kuanghuan felt that it was so unbelievable that there are people who can't even light a fire.

    Li Quan said: "We lit a fire and roasted an animal that looked like a big mouse, was as tall as a human, and had a pouch on its stomach. After it was roasted, we sprinkled salt and invited the natives to taste it. The natives were very happy after eating it.  Learn how to make a fire with us, and exchange skins for salt."

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "The natives who don't know how to light fire also know how to treat guests to dinner. It seems that not all the savages are evil. In the future when colonizing this island, we can routinely educate them, choose good savages and tame them.?
