Chapter 906 Restoration of the Western Regions

The newly established Daqi is no better than the Song Dynasty. Civil and military officials are not afraid of fighting. The generals are busy competing for the opportunity to lead the army. The civil officials are also thinking about how to get involved in this matter. Although the new dynasty strictly prohibits civil Leading the army, so that they have no chance to go to the battlefield, but fighting is not just about the army.

When you march into Xixia, do you want civilian husbands to help transport food and grass? Is it credit for me to manage the civilian husband well and keep the logistics smooth? Do you need weapons for war? Is it credit for my efforts to develop industry and provide raw materials for your weapons? And the land that has been laid down has to be governed, right? Wouldn't it be easier to get results if he could go to Xinna's prefecture and county to become an official?

In many respects, civil servants still have a lot to do. As for whether there will be problems in this battle, neither civil servants nor generals have this idea. Now that even the Kingdom of Jin has been defeated, what is Xixia?

Now that the army in the Central Plains has been equipped with hot weapons, Xixia is still using cold weapons. How can this battle be fought? Winning is only a matter of time.

Shen Long selected the leader of this battle from the generals who did not participate in the Northern Expedition last time and stayed behind in Tokyo, and then added Zhejia, Zhongjia, Yangjia, Qujia, Liujia and other generals familiar with the Northwest style. My son, the command framework for this battle has been set up, and then let them draw up the attack plan.

When discussing the plan, Shen Long also told these Northwest generals that from now on, the imperial court will definitely gather military power. It is obviously impossible to maintain a certain degree of independence as before, but they can be compensated financially. After seeing the power of hot weapons, they knew that they would not be able to continue as before, so they all agreed.

After the preparations were completed, Shen Long set off to fight for them in the school grounds. Lin Chong and others led the army out of the west gate and went to Jingzhao Mansion;

If you put it in the past, they might not be afraid. Xixia has also defeated the Song Dynasty many times, but now they have not recovered from the damage of being defeated by Tongguan, and lost the ally of Liao. Can it withstand the attack of the Central Plains? So Xixia hurriedly sent envoys to Tokyo to intercede.

They are willing to give up the title of emperor and pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, but since the real benefits can be obtained, who cares about this false name? Shen Long told Xixia's envoy that unless he surrendered unconditionally, he would stop talking about everything, so Xixia's envoy could only go back in frustration. When he saw the mighty military appearance of the Central Plains on the way back, he knew that Xixia still had a few days left. Running out.

In fact, as he expected, Xixia's army collapsed in front of Lin Chong's army, causing almost no damage to Lin Chong's army.

They also want to use Lingzhou's strong city to stop the army, but unfortunately, the Martial Arts Academy has already formulated a detailed strategy on how to break the city. They first suppressed the defenders at the top of the city with artillery fire, and then dug tunnels to bury a large amount of gunpowder in the ground. Below the city wall, only a loud bang of thunderbolt was heard,

The city gate of Lingzhou flew into the sky.

The soldiers around were killed and injured countless times, and those farther away were also dizzy from the sound of the explosion. They had no ability to stand up and fight Lin Chong's army again. Lingzhou City, which had repeatedly resisted the Song army, was breached in this way.

When Lin Chong's army arrived at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, the defenders in the city gave up their resistance after hearing the news about Lingzhou. So the defenders in the city directly asked to surrender, and the Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun bound himself to surrender, and Xixia became history nearly a hundred years earlier.

After taking Xixia, the army took a short rest and continued to march towards the Western Regions along the Hexi Corridor. Taking the captured Xixia army as the vanguard to attack the Western Regions, they were invincible along the way, and soon recovered the Guiyi Army, and searched for Zhang Yichao locally. The descendants of the descendants generously rewarded them in recognition of the achievements of their ancestors.

Afterwards, the army continued to march westward, and did not stop until the limit of logistics supplies. Lin Chong's name was so powerful in the Western Regions that it could stop children from crying at night.

Shen Long immediately issued an order to temporarily stop the army from advancing westward, and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and canonized Lin Chong as Daqi's first Western Region Protectorate, allowing him to stay in the Western Regions to guard and restrain all ministries in the territory. , and defend against Western attacks, investigate news, and prepare for future westward advances.

On land, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was restored. On the sea, the navy was not to be outdone. Li Jun attacked Jiaozhi again, took Jiaozhi directly, and restored Jiaozhi County. This granary with three crops a year became the territory of the Central Plains .

This place became Shen Long's place to reward heroes. He divided the plantations locally and rewarded those civil and military officials, so that they could also get bonuses for outward expansion. If we want to expand outwards next time, these people won't have any objections, right?

Now the kingdoms of Jin, Xixia and Jiaozhi around the Central Plains have been destroyed one after another, causing the surrounding small countries to tremble and submit to surrender; while in the southwest, the current king of Dali, Duan Zhengyan, the son of Duan Zhengchun, was oppressed by the powerful officials in the country, and he was indignant for a while. , and sent a memorial to Shen Long for help.

When Shen Long received the memorial, he thought about it seriously, wondering if this is Duan Yu? Will he know Beiming Divine Art, Lingbo Weibu and Six Meridians Excalibur?

The officials in the court didn't think as wildly as Shen Long did. They got a lot of benefits from the army's conquests, and they are now thinking about where to march. When they saw this memorial, it was sent to their door reason? Then quickly mobilize troops.

Now that the northwest is temporarily stable, the army has enough power to attack the southwest, so the army set out again, crossed the mountains and entered the territory of Dali Kingdom, and brought Dali Kingdom under the rule of the Central Plains.

As for Duan Yu... oh no, Duan Zhengyan was invited to Bianliang, Tokyo, to be neighbors with Zhao Gou. I hope they can get along happily in the future.

At this time, the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty finally restored the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the people swept away the shame of being bullied by foreigners for many years, and became as proud as the people of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, and staying at this time for a little longer, Shen Long chose to return temporarily and returned to his home in the capital.

Lying on the bed and waiting for the memory to digest slowly, turning on the light and looking at the familiar layout in the room, Shen Long showed a smile on his face. Presumably this ending will make Lu Junyi very satisfied, right?

I just don't know what reward Lu Junyi will give himself? Shen Long turned on the system in his mind, and then heard the content of the reward.
