Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 146 Entering Hami

In front of Yumen Pass.

Yang Zheng looked at the dejected Luo Tong in disbelief.

"Did the Turks really not retreat from here?"

"Commander, the general is closely monitoring here, and there is no Turkic passing by at all. Could it be that the Turkic ran up the mountain?"

Hearing this, Yang Zheng thought to himself that this Turkic would not go to Qilian Mountain, would he?It is even possible that they went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I have searched the space for a long time, but there is no movement of them, which means that they must be hiding on the mountains.

Now the flapping of my own wings has changed too much history. If Ashina Sugui really went to Tuyuhun or Tubo, it would be really troublesome in the future, but now he wants to mix into the upper class of Tuyuhun or Tubo. It's not easy for the guy, and it will inevitably cause turmoil in Tuyuhun or Tubo.

"Haha, when the time comes, push hard and try to get Ashina Sugui to provoke the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and then we can profit from it." Yang Zheng suddenly laughed after thinking about it.

With the current situation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the expansion of Tubo is imperative. If Ashina Sugui can join Tuyuhun, then the relationship between Tubo and Tuyuhun will be good.And what Datang has to do is to compress their living space and let them have an infighting!
"Luo Tong, there's no need to wait. The Turks must have gone to the West Sea (Qinghai Lake). We don't need to be idle. Let's rush to the Western Regions. It's too late. I'm afraid the Third Division has already attacked several cities." Yang Zheng Smiling, he lightly waved a whip on Lola's buttocks, and galloped away.

"Commander, wait for the last general! Come here, send the order quickly, the whole army is marching, the target is the Western Region!" Luo Tong shouted hurriedly, and then ordered the army to start marching.

In the beautiful Western Regions, there are many ethnic groups and small countries. Many tribes living in cities have formed their own countries.On this vast land, the countries of the Western Regions developed independently according to the rules of the times.

But all of this is destined to change today, because Yang Zheng is here.

"Report!!! Commander, the front is the Yiwu country, which has been taken by Mr. Qin, and the Yiwu city is already the territory of our Tang Dynasty!" The scout reported excitedly.

"Yiwu City? Alright, continue to explore the way forward, and report to Yiwu City as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Master!"

Yang Zheng entered Yiwu City in a good mood, while Luo Tong behind him looked very bad.

"Commander, the last general will not enter the city anymore, the road ahead is not smooth, the last general asks to go and pave the way for the commander!" Luo Tong called for a fight.

Yang Zheng said with a smile: "Okay, remember, we must show both kindness and majesty, and let people from all over the Western Regions become our citizens of the Tang Dynasty. Go!"

Only then did Luo Tong happily lead the army and set off.

Although Yiwu City was under the control of the Tang army, it was deserted. The Sogdian army was thrown into prisons, and the Sogdian people were in panic, unable to leave the city. They didn't know what they would face next. What happened, if it happened like those armies in the past, every household was destined to be ransacked.

Yang Zheng frowned: "What is this Qin Huaiyu up to? Zhou Qing, quickly release the prisoners in the prison and let them go back to reunite with their families. Then pass my order. From today, Yiwu City will be renamed Hami County. Immediately restore the original order, let the people do what they should, and do what they want. Our soldiers must not disturb the people, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

"Yes, Commander!" Zhou Qing's special division had no mission at the moment, so Zhou Qing simply became Yang Zheng's attendant.Since Ashinasheer trained the personal guards of Dai Guogong's mansion in Yunzhou City, there were no guards around Yang Zheng. Although Yang Zheng didn't have to worry about his own safety at all, it was more convenient to have someone to order.

It didn't take long for all the captives in Hami County to be released.Facing the foolish eyes of the captives, Zhou Qing announced loudly: "Everyone, you are free now. From today onwards, Yiwu City will be renamed Hami County, and it will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If you are willing to stay here and live, Then immediately go to the Hami County Government to register as a Datang citizen, if you don’t want to, you can leave at any time, our Tang army will never make things difficult for you!”

As the prisoners who knew Chinese passed Zhou Qing's words to the Sogdians, the prisoners cheered happily.For the familiar city of Hami, they are of course willing to stay, and it doesn't matter to them whether the city is called Yiwu or Hami.

The original city lord, Shi Wannian, was also a Han and Hu mixed race. Shi Wannian married a Turkic aristocratic woman, so when the war started, he ordered the whole city to resist desperately.

However, when the Tang army showed its power, Shi Wannian knew that he could no longer hold on, so he fled with his family and gold, silver and jewelry.

Now that the people of Tang Dynasty have made the decision, the Sogdians feel that it is all right, as long as everyone can live in Hami City.

Hami is a good place, located in the famous Turpan Basin.Here is the origin of the famous cantaloupe, but also the production base of grapes.This is great for Yang Zheng, wine is his favorite, and wine from the Western Regions is not very good now, Yang Zheng will use the space to brew wine.

It is foreseeable that in the future Tang society, wine will become a new banquet drink.

Now that the climate has begun to warm up, sufficient sunshine can make the Hami area full of greenery, flocks of cattle and sheep, and a prosperous scene.

Yang Zheng thinks this can be used, don't you guys like to eat fruit?There are many fruit trees in our space. When the time comes, fruit trees will be planted everywhere in Hami City, so that your children and grandchildren will not want to leave.

The population of Hami City is about 3, which also gives Yang Zheng a lot of room for expansion.

Before the officials from the imperial court arrived, Yang Zheng was also in charge of the county magistrate of Hami, preparing to start the preliminary development work immediately.

The first job is to strengthen the city. The city wall of Hami City is only 3 meters high, which is too short. It is simply too difficult to defend against the enemy.Of course, this is also limited by the local geological conditions. There are no hard stones and no decent wood. Hami City is completely an earthen city. The walls are made of rammed earth, and the buildings in the city are also earthen houses.

If Yang Zheng wanted to transform Hami City, he had to start with space.

After taking the time to transport a large amount of stone and wood from the space, the city of Hami began to be rebuilt.Since it was the first city built by the Tang people in the Western Regions, Yang Zheng demanded that it be the best.

The city wall was built directly on the periphery of the existing Hami city, and the new city wall connected the seven small cities in the entire Hami area to form a large city, which was more than ten times larger than the original city.

A large number of Sogdians participated in the construction of the city wall. They were paid for the construction of the city wall and provided enough food.

Yang Zheng's purpose of using these soft policies is naturally to stabilize Hami City as soon as possible and eliminate the adverse effects of the war as soon as possible.Facts have proved that this trick works well. Every Sogdian can receive 10 Wen from the supervisor of the Tang Army after finishing his work every day, which makes them very satisfied.Of course, the money is now being padded by Yang Zheng, but the future income

Since the boulders were repaired by Yang Zheng in the space, they only needed to be laid, so the progress of the project was relatively fast.The Sogdians also clearly knew how strong the city wall made of huge stones was, so everyone worked very hard.This is building a beautiful homeland. With such a strong city, the Sogdians can rest easy.

At the end of April, the scale of Hami New City has been issued, and the outer city has been completely built. The city wall is 4 meters high, 25 meters long from east to west, and 3000 meters long from north to south.This is not a small city in the Central Plains, let alone in the Western Regions.

The act of building a new city in Hami has already won the initial favor of the Sogdians. The security brought by the new city to the Sogdians is unprecedented, so the Sogdians naturally take Yang Zheng who brought them all this into their hearts.

Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chumo, who were attacking from all directions, also sent people to report that where the three armies were pointing, countries in the Western Regions surrendered upon hearing the news, and the Western Turkic troops stationed in various countries also fled upon hearing the news.At present, Luotong's army has reached Khotan, Qin Huaiyu's army is stationed in Qiuci, and Cheng Chumo has rested in Yanqi Kingdom. All countries pay respect to the Tang army, only Gaochang Kingdom defends itself with a strong city, and refuses to submit to the Tang Dynasty!

The leader of Gaochang Kingdom, Ju Wentai, is a Han, but this guy always thinks that he is comparable to Qin Huang and Han Wu, and he is trying to dominate the Western Regions.Seeing that Cheng Chumo's Tang army numbered no more than ten thousand, he was not afraid.And Cheng Chumo did not attack by force, but detoured through the desert and forced Yanqi to surrender in one fell swoop.Occupying Yanqi, the Tang army has now formed a siege of Gaochang.

Yang Zheng laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Hahahaha, this Gaochang Kingdom seems to be ignorant of current affairs. Go back and tell the three division commanders that I ordered them to invite armies from all countries to jointly besiege Gaochang Kingdom and trap this stubborn country to death. !”

"Yes, handsome!"

After the sergeant left, Yang Zheng fell into deep thought. This time the military operation went so smoothly, it seems that the Tang army is indeed strong, the Turkic people are down, and these small countries in the Western Regions simply do not have the ability to resist the Tang army.The entire Western Region is completely in hand.

However, it is not easy to govern these places well.The territory has become larger, the population composition has become more complex, and there are more customs and customs, so this trouble has also come.
