    The successful manufacture of the steam engine undoubtedly excited Chen Ziang, because this is an epoch-making price.

    With the support of the imperial court of the Far East, Song Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Industry, also personally supervised the construction of a railway artery that could be used by steam trains.

    The Far East Empire has successively discovered several iron mines with rich reserves. Within the territory of the empire, the scale of iron-making and steel-making factories has reached eleven.

    Three of them are in the territory of Anxi Township Mansion, because not only a large number of coal mines have been discovered in Anxi Township Mansion, but also several large iron mines have been discovered.

    A large number of coal and iron mines made it possible to forge steel. At the same time, the emergence of steam power undoubtedly greatly improved the efficiency of industry.

    Chen Ziang believes that as long as the development continues at this pace, more machinery and equipment will be produced, and the Far East Empire will rise rapidly.

    Don't look at the Holy See, the Hanhai Dynasty, etc. who are more happy now, but once the strength of the Far East Empire becomes stronger, it will not be difficult to defeat them.

    In Anxi Town Guard Mansion, the newly appointed guard envoy Zhang Yi also strictly implemented Chen Zi'ang's order, that is, to implement the policy of suppressing and appeasement against the barbarians.

    Under the leadership of the regiment commander Guo Wei, the Anxi Legion carried out a large-scale suppression against those rebellious barbarians.

    All the flag regiments under the Anxi Legion are elite soldiers drawn from the field troops. They are well-trained and well-equipped, and the barbarians are naturally no match.

    "Your Majesty, the Anxi Legion has conquered 531 barbarian tribes in half a year. All the barbarian heads and nobles were arrested and taken to the imperial capital."

    "The Anxi tutelary mansion provided salt, food, etc. to those ordinary barbarians, and canceled the taxes that were previously paid to the barbarian nobles. They can be said to be very grateful to the empire."

    In the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, was sitting on a chair, reporting the situation in the barbarian area.

    Under the imperial court's series of effective policies, in all the barbarian areas that were conquered, those barbarians almost surrendered to the empire.

    ?Because the Far East Empire overthrew the barbarian aristocrats and chieftains who oppressed them, and provided them with free food, salt, and medical treatment.

    In the past, under the propaganda of the barbarian nobles, the barbarians had an incomparable hatred for the Far Eastern Empire.

    However, what the Anxi tutelary government of the Far Eastern Empire did in the barbarian area made ordinary barbarians realize that life with the Far Eastern Empire would become better and better.

    "Many barbarians in areas that have not yet been conquered have also heard of the benefits of attaching to us, so many barbarians have even left the tribe and have gone through hardships to join us." When Li Qiye said this, his face was full of pride and enthusiasm.  pride.

    The barbarians are rebellious people, and the dynasties have been unable to conquer them, making them a great threat to the western border.

    Now Chen Ziang sent troops to conquer the barbarian areas, separated their nobles from ordinary barbarians, implemented a series of preferential policies for ordinary barbarians, and quickly won the favor of barbarians.

    For the savages living in the alpine and harsh areas, their life can be said to be extremely difficult.

    Almost all the food they worked so hard to grow and the cattle and sheep they raised were given to the nobles for their enjoyment. They existed like slaves.

    When the army of the Far East Empire entered the barbarian region for the first time, they also fought against the army of the Far East under the instructions of the nobles.

    Now, as the nobles were taken away by the Far East Empire's army, coupled with a series of policies of the Far East Empire, those ordinary barbarians discovered who was really good to them.

    "Zhang Yi and Guo Wei have done a good job in the barbarian area, but they still need to make persistent efforts."

    Hearing that the situation in the barbarian area is very good, Chen Ziang, the emperor of the empire, is also very happy.

    Because this not only permanently solves the western border problem, but also makes the empire stronger.

    "What about the recruiting of the barbarians?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to your order, the Anxi Legion has recruited barbarian troops from two banner regiments and is training in the western province."

    "Are these barbarians reliable?" Chen Ziang asked.

    "Willing to join the army of our empire, these barbarians who served the empire were once slaves of barbarian nobles, and now we have rescued them.?, let their families live a good life, and they are also grateful to us, so they are basically reliable.  "

    Chen Zi'ang asked the Anxi Legion to recruit some barbarians who were willing to join them, which could also stabilize the local situation.

    Because these barbarians were born and bred in the local area, it is much more convenient to arm them to guard the place than the army of the Far East Empire to mobilize troops from thousands of miles away.

    Once encountering a barbarian tribal rebellion, mobilize these barbarian soldiers to suppress them. They are fighting locally, and the effect will naturally be much better.

    At the same time, letting the barbarians fight the barbarians can also disintegrate them from the inside and prevent them from uniting again to fight against the Far East.

    "Let the Anxi Legion recruit two more barbarian troops from the Banner Regiment, and the two Banner Regiments that are being trained will be transferred to the imperial capital for dispatch." Chen Ziang ordered after pondering.

    "Your Majesty, these barbarians are used to living in the local area, and now they are being transferred to the imperial capital far away from their hometown. I am worried that they will not want to." Li Qiye expressed his worries.

    Chen Ziang smiled and said: "Don't worry, tell these barbarians that they only need to stay in the imperial capital for three years before they can go home, and give them double the military pay, I think they will come."

    After all, most of the barbarian regions have now been conquered by the Far East Empire, and in the near future, the entire barbarian regions will be included in the empire's territory.

    These barbarian soldiers actually have no choice, their families are also under the control of the empire, they can only obey the orders of the empire.

    Moreover, Chen Ziang only asked them to be transferred to the imperial capital for three years, and gave them double the military pay. They had no reason to object.

    The reason why Chen Ziang wanted to transfer the first batch of trained barbarians to the imperial capital was because he took a fancy to the strong physique of these barbarians.

    The Far East Empire has a heavy armored force that is invincible on the battlefield, and almost all of them are strong and strong soldiers.

    Now Chen Ziang is going to arm this group of barbarians to form a new heavy army. Strong barbarians are the best soldiers in the heavy army.

    In addition to this reason, Chen Ziang recruited a large number of barbarians to join the army. In addition to solving their source of livelihood, he also prevented them from staying in the local area to be bewitched by others and affecting the newly conquered barbarian areas.

    A large number of young and strong barbarians were conscripted into the army and transferred to the imperial capital far away. Even if someone wanted to fan the flames and make the barbarians rebel, the remaining people would not be able to make any waves.

    "By the way, we should also pay close attention to the immigration to the barbarian areas, especially those prisoners of war who are serving hard labor everywhere, as long as they are willing to go to the barbarian areas to settle down."

    "The imperial court can exempt them from hard labor and crimes, and give them settlement money, seeds, cattle and sheep, and farm tools."

    Chen Ziang knew very well that in order to completely bring the barbarian areas into the territory of the empire, it would not be possible to rely solely on the policy of exiled officials.

    What he needs is to assimilate the entire barbarian area, and the most important thing is to move some Far Easterners to live permanently in the past.

    Of course, ordinary people from the Far East would not want to go to those bitter and cold places. Fortunately, Chen Ziang and the others fought many battles, and there were quite a few prisoners of war who served hard labor in various places.

    As long as these prisoners of war are willing to settle down in barbarian areas, they will also give a lot of support.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
