"Nearly 30 soldiers and horses are fighting against the Xirong soldiers and horses. It is easy to destroy them in Liangzhou. When the Xirong in Liangzhou are eliminated, they will be pushed to the Xirong territory and the Western Regions. At that time, I want to set up a state capital in the Western Regions. I will set up one next. Several counties and cities. The capital of the Western Regions Prefecture was located in Beiting Yancheng during the Taizu period. The Ministry of Personnel will select some reserve officials in the next time, and these officials will be dispatched to the Western Regions Prefecture after the Western Regions are conquered."

As soon as Li Chengmu said these words, the expressions of many officials in the court changed. Some were thinking about what was to come from the Western Regions, and some were afraid that their relatives would be singled out.

The Western Region, for the officials in the court, is like a place of exile. How can they stand out as officials in a place of exile?
Li Chengmu noticed the expressions of the officials in the court, pretended not to know, and said: "The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War, taking advantage of the time when the soldiers are on the expedition, each of your ministries will come up with a charter to divide the Western Regions. Send officials, make a detailed plan on how to govern the local people, distribute the land, etc."

After listening to the emperor's words, the ministers could see that the emperor was determined to win the Western Region, which forced them to pay attention.

After the court meeting was over, the officials at all levels below arranged their duties according to the emperor's will.

The soldiers and horses from Bingzhou and the soldiers and horses from the Gyeonggi camp set off for Liangzhou.

Half a month later, the army entered Liangzhou. The invading Xirong troops were defeated, and only a few remaining soldiers fled back to Xirong.

However, the imperial army did not give up because of their disastrous defeat. Instead, they organized the army to continue to attack Xirong. After capturing Xirong and Dunhuang, due to the westward movement, the Western Region was vast and sparsely populated. They invested tens of thousands of people, which was like sand. If it falls into the water, it won't stir up many waves.

This is the first difficulty that the army will face when entering the Western Region. The Western Region is really big. If nearly 30 troops enter and deal with the people of various countries in the Western Region, it will take a lot of materials and time.

It is the best choice to fight against the countries in the Western Region without losing any blood. Because of this consideration, after capturing the two cities in the Western Region, Long Yutian did not use troops against other cities immediately. Instead, he sent envoys to negotiate and lobby first. It is hoped that all city lords will take the initiative to seek refuge with Dayu.

Naturally, the cities in the Western Regions had long heard about the power of Dayu's army, especially their weapons, which made them timid. Such powerful weapons were very unfriendly to them.

Especially after the envoy told them Emperor Dayu's various arrangements and plans for the Western Regions, it was obvious that Emperor Dayu was determined to win the Western Regions, and if they resisted to the end, what awaited them might be missing their heads.If he surrenders to Dayu's court, he will still be able to enjoy a wealthy life under a series of preferential treatment policies proposed by the emperor.

Weighing the pros and cons, it’s not difficult to choose.

The situation in the Western Region is gradually becoming clearer, and Xia Jing's fleet is already far away from the Oceania continent.

The sailing life at sea is very boring. Xia Jing and Li Jingfu have passed the adaptation stage, but Li Chengshang and Li Chengzhan are living a miserable life on the ship.

At first, they were seasick. After about half a month, they gradually adapted to the bumps on the sea. As their bodies recovered, they found that their daily life was either facing the sea or the blue sky. Occasionally, they would encounter storms. Every time it rained like this , the fleet is like a small boat on the sea, they are really afraid that the ship will be overturned by big waves at any time.

At this moment, we can finally see the land again. You can imagine how excited the people on the boat are!
"Xia, this should be our destination this time, right?" Li Jingfu asked excitedly, looking at the long coastline.

"Well, that should be right here."

As the fleet approaches, the blue waves and golden sand are beautiful.

These beaches, if placed in future generations, would be a paradise for travel enthusiasts.

"Father and Queen, are we here? Is this the land you call?" Sitting in the cabin, hearing the cheers of the soldiers on the deck, Li Chengzhan rushed out of the cabin, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, his expression Extremely excited.

When the women and children in the cabin heard the movement on the deck, they all ran out. Everyone looked the same. They were extremely happy to have finally arrived at their destination after months of bumps on the sea.

Xia Jing pointed to the coastline and said: "This continent seems to be very vast. You brothers will occupy half of it by then. What do you think is the best arrangement?"

In fact, the most livable area on this continent is probably only the coastal area. This coastline is undoubtedly the area closest to Dayu, and the coastal area on the other side of this area is also suitable for human habitation.

According to her wishes, one of the brothers occupied this area, and the other continued to sail along the coastline and reached the coastal area on the other side to build a city.

Of course, this is just her wish. It is up to the brothers to discuss what they think.

Hearing Xia Jing's question, Li Chengzhan and Li Ding'an looked at each other. During the period of their uncle and nephew's voyage, they stayed together every day to discuss how to arrange things after arriving in this continent.
The two of them looked at Xia Jing with a tacit understanding, and Li Chengzhan was the first to reply: "Mother, Ding'an and I have discussed it many times. We feel that we are unfamiliar with this place, so it would be better for us not to separate for the time being. .”

"You want to live together?" Li Jingfu frowned slightly after hearing their words.

Li Chengzhan shook his head: "We won't live together. We just chose two places to build the city. We won't be far apart. If something unexpected happens, our uncle and nephew will be taken care of. Of course, From now on, we will use the central axis between cities as the boundary.”

Xia Jing knew that this area had a savanna climate, with only rainy and dry seasons a year. Compared with Dayu, it was hot all year round, with tropical storms during the rainy season.

However, this time is the coolest season of the year and also the drier season.

For the fleet that has just arrived on this continent, this season is suitable for them to engage in construction. If the rainy season arrives in a few months, it will be very disadvantageous for them who want to engage in construction.

The fleet slowly approached the coastline and found the mouth of a river. Xia Jing asked the fleet to sail along the mouth of the river. The primitive scenery along the coast appeared before everyone's eyes.

Li Ding'an walked to Xia Jing's side and asked, "Ancestor, is there anyone in this continent?"

Xia Jing looked at the scenery that had not been damaged by man-made damage and said uncertainly: "There should be, right?"

Li Ding'an looked at the woods on the mountains along the coast, turned to Li Chengzhan and said, "Second uncle, we will use this river as the boundary, and one person will occupy one side to build the city. If the aborigines attack us in the future, we can respond easily. "

Li Chengzhan nodded: "I will do as you say!"

The entrance to the sea was still sea water, and the golden beach was very beautiful. Xia Jing thought that if she lived nearby, she could come to catch the sea when the tide was low, which was full of wild fun. (End of chapter)
