Chapter 658
After all, southern Xinjiang is far away from the Central Plains, if during this period, someone makes some small moves in southern Xinjiang.

Destroying the good situation of the Shangguan family in southern Xinjiang would not be worth the loss.

However, fortunately, there are Bu Qingfeng and others in Nanjiang, who are in charge of the Sanzhou arrest department in Nanjiang, but they are always monitoring every move of the whole Nanjiang and Yiying Nanshenhou Mansion.

Coupled with the fact that Yinglao and Chi Biaohu are in charge, I believe there will be no major problems in a short time.

Now, what he needs is to wait until the extraterritorial heavenly gate is opened, so as to contain all the energy of the imperial court.

When the powerful royal family is restrained, it is the time for the Shangguan family to make a move. At that time, they will lead all the elite soldiers from Yucheng back to southern border, so as to strengthen the strength of southern border.

As we all know, Southern Xinjiang has a vast land and few people, which is different from the Land of Abundance in Xichuan, although Xichuan is not as vast as Southern Xinjiang.

In fact, the entire Xichuan is only half the size of the southern border, and this is only half the size of the southern border, including dozens of Xichuan foreign tribes such as the Miao people.

Although Xichuan is not as vast as southern Xinjiang, it is an area that has been vigorously developed.

The various technical populations in the Central Plains are continuously transported, so that Xichuan has already been turned into a cornucopia.

Not to mention the self-sufficiency of the population with various resources, they can also vigorously export them to the poor areas in the Northwest.

Not to mention the population, which is several times the total population of the five states in southern Xinjiang.

And southern border, before Dayu, has been in a state of wildness, because of the spiritual domain, few people are willing to set foot in southern border.

In addition, all kinds of fierce beasts are rampant in southern Xinjiang, and weather and other climatic factors have not been liked by people in the Central Plains and Northland.

Therefore, for a long time, southern Xinjiang has rarely been able to receive strong development from the Central Plains Dynasty.

After the founding of the Dayu Dynasty, with the sudden increase in the population in the previous hundreds of years, in order to alleviate the population pressure.

At this time, the Dayu Dynasty gradually began to expand to the wild lands of southern Xinjiang, and vigorously sent manpower and material resources to southern Xinjiang.

In the following hundreds of years, I don't know how many people died in the wild land in southern Xinjiang, which people call.

There is a saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters. It is precisely in this environment that southern Xinjiang is in, so the strength of all foreign tribes in southern Xinjiang is extremely strong.

Among them, the Nanman, a barbarian tribe that had fought against the Yu Dynasty for hundreds of years, had ups and downs and lost countless times, but it had never been conquered.

From Qizhou, all the way to Jingzhou, and then to the three states of Nanpenghuang, all these places were forcibly opened up by the Yu Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, the whetstone of the Dayu Dynasty, that the soldiers of the Dayu Dynasty have always oppressed Yu Nei.

However, there is a Taoism that prosperity must decline, and militarism is bound to cause endless troubles.

Southern Xinjiang is a barren land, and it has not been vigorously developed by the predecessors from the beginning to the end. Except for medicinal materials and beasts, there is nothing else.

Fighting against immigration and development requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

It is precisely because of the military arrogance of the previous generations of emperors that Dayu gained a lot of territory. Except for the Nanman, all the different ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang were beaten out of their temper.

However, the country's prestige has grown and its territory has been established, but most of the national power accumulated in the previous hundreds of years has been consumed.

I used too much force, so that the egg was pulled at once, which made the subsequent development efforts far less beautiful than imagined.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, which is the psychology of thousands of people. There is no threat of war and death, and no one has a reason to leave the place where their ancestors lived for generations.

Coupled with the remoteness of southern Xinjiang, the cost of migration is too high, so the population migration plan has not been carried out very well.

Coupled with the remoteness of southern Xinjiang, there is a saying that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, which has caused corruption among officials at all levels in southern Xinjiang.

The degree of persecution suffered by the people was even worse than that in the Central Plains, and those people were basically the descendants of a group of soldiers who conquered southern Xinjiang.

As a result, the people in southern Xinjiang are generally tough, and there are countless bandits, big and small. Wherever there is oppression, they stand up to resist.

As a result, a vicious circle in the entire southern Xinjiang has been caused, which has not been able to develop well.

However, no matter what, Southern Xinjiang today is different from the past.

Under the governance of several generations of emperors, although it is good to talk about a lot, at least it has become self-sufficient.

In addition to various external environments such as snakes, insects, rats, ants, beasts, etc., as long as Shi Zhi is taken care of.

If we continue to absorb refugees from all over the Central Plains, I believe that it won't take long for the entire southern border to become a land of fish and rice known to Shangguan Qiuyu in the previous world.

At the same time, the biggest advantage of southern Xinjiang is that in addition to the existing five states, southern Xinjiang still has a large area of ​​land to be developed.

There are countless lands that are more fertile than the Central Plains. As long as they have the strength, they can expand southward all the time. These are the advantages of Southern Xinjiang.

What Southern Xinjiang lacks now is population capital. As long as there is a population, Southern Xinjiang will be able to unleash its huge war potential in a short time.

Thinking of all these things, Shangguan Qiuyu made up his mind that the Shangguan family must not lose the heaven-given inheritance of Southern Xinjiang.

But before that, what Shangguan Qiuyu had to do was to try his best to strengthen the strength of the Shangguan family.

Because of the population in southern Xinjiang, it is bound to be impossible for the Shangguan family to vigorously develop its military power at the beginning, so he can only find a way from other places.

And Yucheng's existing tens of thousands of soldiers are his goal.

Although the generals of the Shangguan family controlled half of the soldiers outside Yucheng, this kind of nominal control.

Whether you can actually take them all is another matter.

For those generals of the Shangguan family, most of the main reasons why they took refuge in the Shangguan family were because the big tree in the Shangguan family could enjoy the shade.

If they were really asked to betray the imperial court and rebel with the Shangguan family, it would be worth considering how much they were unwilling.

In addition to the low-level soldiers, whether they are willing to follow the Shangguan family to the southern border is also a very important factor.

Therefore, according to Shangguan Qiuyu's thinking, one-third, even one-fifth, of the soldiers under the nominal control of the Shangguan family will follow the Shangguan family, and he will be satisfied.

As long as there are a million soldiers willing to go south with the Shangguan family, it will be able to double the power of the Shangguan family.

This will be of great benefit to the Shangguan family's subsequent control of southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, now Shangguan Qiuyu is particularly concerned about how to control the military generals and low-level soldiers of his own family.

But because he and his cheap grandfather are both in Yucheng, Shangguan Qiuyu can't be too ostentatious and wantonly buy people's hearts.

After all, the emperor is not blind. If it weren't for the current unstable situation, the emperor would not be able to watch the Duke of Zhen, Shangguanxiong, wantonly eliminate dissidents.
