    ??

    Since Qu Boya and his son were assassinated, Huang Mingli has not shown up in Gaochang City, and all matters have been left to Li Jie.

    Li Jie led an army to station in the city, and then began a large-scale purge.  Including Qu Zhongfei, Ashina and others, they were all executed by Li Jie in the name of plotting assassinations and pretending to surrender. As for the civil and military personnel in the city, most of them were also cleaned up. Only some Han officials who rushed to defect remained.  .

    Li Jie killed people in Gaochang City for half a month in the name of "revenge of Qu Boya". In the end, there was no one loyal to the Qu family in the city.

    Half a month later, Huang Mingliao, who had been missing for a long time, appeared again, with the purpose of re-establishing a new king.  Huang Mingliao originally wanted to abolish the inheritance of King Gaochang, but later he thought that Gaochang State was different from Yanqi State, and Qu Boya had a good relationship with the emperor. If he rashly abolished the inheritance of King Gaochang, the emperor might not agree, or would he?  The throne of Gaochang will be retained for the time being, so as not to give excuses to others.

    But Qu Boya was already dead, and Qu Boya¡¯s eldest son Qu Wentai also died of serious injuries and died in the army.  As for the other descendants of Qu Boya, they either died in the previous coup launched by Qu Zhongfei, or in response to this incident, they were all killed by Li Jie.

    In fact, Qu Boya has no heir.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have an heir, you can still choose an heir.  The newly established King of Gaochang was not inherited by heirs and had limited influence on the people. If he was not stupid, he would hug the Sui Dynasty tightly.

    Of course, there is still a process to choose a new heir.

    So Huang Mingliao summoned the remaining civil and military officials in Gaochang Kingdom to discuss the matter of establishing a new king.  After the two major chaos in the Gaochang Kingdom, coupled with the purges of the Sui Dynasty, there were no civil and military officials left in ten. The highest-status person alive was only a Sima of the Ministry of War (the second-in-command of the Ministry of War).

    Regardless of whether the Sui Dynasty would allow Gaochang to rebuild the political system, as for the lack of officials, they would not be able to make up for it in the next life.

    Without the Gaochang court, there would still be gaps in the legal sense.  But there is one person in Gaochang Kingdom who can endorse this matter. This person is Qu Boya¡¯s wife, Princess Huarong, Gaochang King Queen Yuwen Yubo.

    ??Princess Huarong Yuwen Yubo, Yang Guang's niece, the daughter of Princess Guangping and Yuwen Jingli, the governor of Xiongzhou.

    The Yang family was not prosperous and it was difficult to find a princess to marry. Yang Guang had no choice but to choose from his in-laws.

    At this time, Princess Huarong was only fifteen years old. She only married Qu Boya last year and was still a child herself.

    Qu Zhongfei launched a coup before, and Princess Huarong also fell into the city.  Because Gaochang was surrounded by Sui troops on all sides, Qu Zhongfei was afraid of the Sui forces and did not dare to disrespect Princess Huarong. He just detained her in the palace, thinking that after killing Qu Boya, he would propose to the Sui Emperor and marry Huarong.  Princess.  After the Sui army captured Gaochang City, Princess Huarong was rescued by the Sui army.

    "I am young and do not understand current affairs. Now that the king is dead, I am frightened and have no one to rely on. I have to rely on the general for everything."

    Princess Huarong didn¡¯t know much about politics, and her husband had just died at this time. Faced with the current situation in Gaochang Kingdom, she was really helpless and had to leave everything to the officials of her mother country.

    So Li Jie presided over and selected a five-year-old child from the Qu family of Gaochang Kingdom, who was renamed Zhisheng and adopted by Qu Boya to become the new king of Gaochang Kingdom.

    Qu Zhisheng was still young, so Huang Mingliao brought Qu Zhisheng and Princess Huarong to Luntai on the grounds of strengthening his education for the new king.  From now on, if nothing happens, the new king of Gaochang Kingdom will never return to his hometown again.

    The officials in the city had long been afraid of being killed by Li Jie, so no one dared to object despite knowing that the Sui Dynasty's move was to control Gaochang.  What more people think is that as long as the Sui Dynasty retains the state of Gaochang, there will always be a day when the country can regain its power.  But what everyone didn't know was that Huang Mingliao and Li Jie didn't think about how long they would stay in Gaochang in this way. As long as the time was right, Gaochang Kingdom would still be included in the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

    After King Gaochang was taken away, Li Jie did not re-appoint the court of Gaochang State. Instead, he merged the original administrative establishment of Gaochang State's four counties, eighteen counties and four garrisons into one county, Jiaohe County, and named it Yiwu County.  Prime Minister Liang Shuo was in charge of county affairs as the county magistrate.

    The remaining counties were merged into Qianting (Gaochang City), Jiaohe, Shichang, Liuzhong (now Lukqin, southwest of Shanshan, Xinjiang), and Puchang (Bailicheng, now Shanshan, Xinjiang) counties.

    Although Jiaohe County is a county of Gaochang State, both the prefect and the county magistrate are all Sui people.  Even the army was recruited by the Sui army.

    At this point, Gaochang Kingdom has only one name left, just waiting to be destroyed.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Huang Mingliao occupied Gaochang, completing a missing piece of territory in Xizhou.

    At this time, Xizhou's area was more than a thousand miles away, stretching from the north to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and Yiwu County could not manage it.  So Huang Mingliao took the newly attached land north of Tianshan Mountain, Shatuo QiIn the south, as far as Yehe River, Beiting County was established to govern Luntai County, with Li Jie also serving as the prefect.  From the west of Yehe River to Ala Mountain and to the north of Cheling (now Borokonu Mountain in Xinjiang), Shuanghe County was established to govern Xilin Town, with Meng Yue as the prefect.

    The Sui Dynasty actually only expanded its power to the north of the Tianshan Mountains to Huangcaobo. As for the west of Huangcaobo, it actually had no control at all. This was still the territory of the Western Turks.  As for the area from Yehe to Huangcaobo, there are only a few villages and towns, so Shuanghe County is just a name.

    But Huang Mingliao still insisted on establishing Shuanghe County as the main force for the Sui Dynasty to expand westward at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

    At this time, Li Jie proposed to re-classify the Sui strongholds in the Western Regions.

    After the establishment of the Xizhou General Administration, counties were generally established in large cities and towns were established for garrisoning. As for the newly developed and built castles, they were also designated as towns. This resulted in a large town having thousands of troops, while a small town might have only a few dozen people, which seriously affected  jurisdiction over various places.

    So Li Jie suggested that counties and townships that manage people should still follow the old rules.  As for the cities with garrison, four-level units including military mansion, town, garrison and fort are set up according to the number of garrison, city size and population.

    Those with less than a hundred troops stationed are all forts, with chief and deputy fort generals.

    The first level of the garrison consists of 150 lower garrison troops, 300 middle garrison troops, and 500 upper garrison troops, with chief and deputy generals;

    At the town level, there are 800 troops stationed in the lower town, 1,000 troops stationed in the middle town, and 1,200 troops stationed in the upper town. Comparing the Yingyang Mansion in the country, the towns have town generals;

    There is a military mansion above the town, usually with two to three thousand people, as well as a large number of Hu soldiers.  The establishment of towns, garrisons, and forts is only based on the number of armies, and there is no direct reporting relationship.  Whether it is a town, garrison or fort, they are all directly under the jurisdiction of the military government.

    As for some places where there are no official or military garrison, most of them are places where the people spontaneously organize militia and set up villages.

    In this way, the cities of the Sui army in the Western Regions were mostly under military control, with one in charge of the army and the other in charge of the people, which facilitated defense and development.  With such changes, the number of original towns has been greatly reduced. In the entire northern foothills of Tianshan Mountains, only a few towns such as Xilin, Lunnan, Xianquan, Pulei, and Jinman are left.

    At this time, the military government only had Yanqi.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
