Chapter 1058 Return to Chang'an
As the emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, Gao Yihuan could not stay in the Western Regions forever.

After the Russian army retreated to the east of the Ural River, the advance of the Wei army was a little weak, so Gao Yihuan decided to choose a general to stay in Tyumen, strangle Russia's eastward advance, and then wait for the next opportunity.

Originally, Gao Yihuan was going to choose Jiang Xiang, but although Jiang Xiang was obedient, his abilities were mediocre, and he might not be able to complete the tasks he gave and seize the opportunity to encroach on Tsarist Russia.

At this time, Tsarist Russia was not yet strong. To its west and northwest, there were two powerful countries, the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania and Sweden, the northern overlord.

If Gao Yihuan remembers correctly, a war between Tsarist Russia and Poland will soon break out in order to compete for Ukraine, then Wei's opportunity will come again.

Gao Yihuan considered again and again, and finally chose Wu Sangui, and asked him to lead [-] cavalry to garrison Qiumen.

For the newly controlled Central Asia, the Xinjiang Governor's Office was established, with Wu Sangui as the governor, and the imperial court appointed a political supervisor to pay taxes, and adopted a tax package system for Central Asia to reduce the cost of governance.

In mid-March, after the conscripted Mongolian tribes returned to the east, Gao Yihuan decided to return to Chang'an.

Outside Suiye City, before Gao Yihuan left, he invited Wu Sangui to talk.

After Gao Yihuan used Wu Sangui, he realized that this person was really capable, so he often rewarded Wu Sangui, and once gave Wu Sangui thirteen beautiful women at one time.

At this time, a large group of Wei troops marched eastward along the road and set foot on their way home. Gao Yihuan and Wu Sangui strolled along the road, followed by guards leading their horses. Gao Yihuan stopped and said, "Uncle! I let you station here, Do you have any complaints?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Wu Sangui hurriedly saluted, but felt a little uncomfortable.

The position he originally wanted was to be the guard general of Liaodong, where he was more familiar, but he didn't want Gao Yihuan to actually get him to Central Asia, which was several times more difficult than Liaodong.

"Hehe~ That's why I still have some emotions!" Gao Yihuan smiled slightly: "The conditions here are a little bit bitter, but you have to be clear, uncle, after I wiped out the Qing Dynasty, the east of the Great Wei territory is a vast sea. The south of the map is also the sea, the north of the map is Lingbei, which is desolate and inhabited, and the southwest of the map is the Uzang Plateau, with no roads. My Great Wei is on land, and the only channels to communicate with the outside world are northwest and southwest. Your current position is to control one of the exits, and the responsibility is heavy!"

Hearing what Gao Yihuan said, Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I know the seriousness of the matter here, so you don't have to worry about it."

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Let's go again, I still have a few things to say!"

The two walked forward, and the guards followed behind. It was not easy for Gao Yihuan to come to the Western Regions. After returning to Chang'an, he didn't know how long it would take before he had the chance to come back to this land again, so he had to make it clear.

Gao Yihuan said warmly: "It's not easy for the soldiers to be stationed here. The imperial court will compensate the soldiers in terms of policy. In addition to the fixed share of the tax package, the soldiers will own it. Most of the army's gains will also belong to you. This means that I am not just I hope you can hold the line of the Ural River, and I hope you can continue to erode Tsarist Russia to the west."

Great Wei has always held very tight to the financial power of the army, and has never allowed the generals to get involved. Although the imperial court has sent a political officer to manage taxes, it is undoubtedly loosening the ties for the troops stationed in Xinjiang.

Wu Sangui couldn't help being a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this seems to be a little inappropriate. Your Majesty, please take back the holy order."

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, the tax system will cause many problems, calmly divide the army's gains privately, and there will be endless troubles, but it can also motivate soldiers, it is impossible to want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass.

"You don't have to worry about this matter." Gao Yihuan turned around and stared at Wu Sangui, "I can trust you!"

Gao Yihuan didn't know whether Wu Sangui believed it or not, anyway, he himself didn't believe it.

When Wu Sangui heard the words, he showed a flattered expression, and was about to salute Gao Yihuan, and Gao Yihuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, uncle, I will tell you another thing! Now the Great Wei has advanced to the east bank of the Ural River, but this area is sparsely populated , For the newly occupied land, you can place the Yuzi people here, and the pastures that the Yuzi people have far away, I am going to distribute to the Yarkand people."

Seeing that Wu Sangui was puzzled, Gao Yihuan explained in order to allow him to better implement his strategy: "The imperial court has controlled the Western Regions for several years, basically controlling this area, but to control it for a long time, the local population structure must be changed. The idea is to move out part of the Yarkand people and move in part of the Han people, which can quickly change the population structure and make the Western Regions completely controlled by the imperial court."

Wu Sangui said: "Then why not just move the Yarkand people to the east of the Ural River!"

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "Yarqiang people have accepted Sinicization in recent years, and they are still close to the Central Plains. If they are directly relocated to the Ural River, they will complain and stay away for a while. The efforts of Sinicization in recent years may be in vain. , so they have to get close to the Han cultural circle and continue to receive influence.”

Wu Sangui frowned and said: "I'm afraid they will not be happy to move to Yuzi people!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly and lowered his voice, "It depends on your means! Nomads are not like us in the Central Plains. They can go wherever there is grass. You can sow discord among the ministries, and then use the excuse of reconciling conflicts to give them The allocation of new pastures, the original pastures, won’t it be vacated?”

Wu Sangui was slightly taken aback, feeling a little shocked, feeling that the person in front of him was really terrifying, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly clasped his fists seriously, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand!"

Gao Yihuan nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Uncle, these places are far away from the Central Plains, and the imperial court can't reach them. In the future, it is inevitable to learn from the experience of the previous court. Work hard, and I will not treat you badly!"

The experience of the previous dynasty, could it be that the world is in Yunnan?Wu Sangui's eyes lit up immediately, and his heart became excited.

Gao Yihuan hinted deliberately, but did not say so, and wrote a bad check.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will manage Xinjiang well for the imperial court!" Wu Sangui was in awe.

Gao Yihuan looked up to the sky and laughed, patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then I won't say more!" After speaking, he waved his hand, "You can send it here, go back!"

At that moment, Wu Sangui saluted and sent him off, while Gao Yihuan got on his horse, joined the army, and marched towards Guanzhong.

At the end of March, Gao Yihuan, who had been busy all the way, rushed back to Chang'an in only ten days, and the first thing he did after returning to Chang'an was not to enter the harem to rest, but to summon the chief assistant to see him.

In the Tiange, Gao Yihuan stood with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression. After Li Yan entered, he saluted his back and said, "Your Majesty!"

Gao Yihuan turned around with a displeased expression on his face, "Mr. Li, how is the military capital case going?"
