357, Southern Border Governance
"Brother, Ni Han... is dead?"
Seeing Hou Yuxiao landing in Qingmiao City, two figures immediately came up. Hou Yucheng asked with a hint of uneasiness, and Hou Yuduan beside him was full of curiosity, and obviously he was eager to know the answer.
Just when the Five Elements Heaven was broken, they also saw the battle between Emperor Jin and Ni Han, but after they fought out the void, they could not see it.
Hou Yuxiao didn't say anything, just nodded.
After receiving the answer, Hou Yucheng's face suddenly showed a look of horror.
"Five years ago, when the Great Jin Dynasty killed Taixi, the six saints needed to be released together. Ni Han hid for five years than Taixi. As a result, his strength was stronger. If Yuwen and his son took action, they could kill him?"
The strength of Dajin has become stronger......
Hou Yucheng's face gradually became heavier, and the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but after all, Hexi had never had formal contact with the Great Jin Dynasty. Moreover, with the rapid advancement of Hexi over the years and the continuous improvement of the Hou family's strength, his fear of the Great Jin Dynasty was not as deep as before. He even felt in his heart that although the Great Jin Dynasty was stronger than Hexi, it was not much different from the other eight holy places. As long as Hexi took steady steps, catching up was not a big problem.
Now he realized how outrageous his thoughts were!
The two emperors and sons of Jin can kill Ni Han, one of the three great demons. The six saints of Jin took action together. Who is the opponent in the world?
Seeing the heavy face on Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuxiao knew that he was almost the same as he thought before. The strength of the Dajin Dynasty was strong and it really had nothing to do with the Hou family at present, because the two families were too far apart and there was no obvious conflict of interest, but this did not mean that in the future.
The Hou family will sooner or later leave Hexi. Not to mention that the King of Wuwei in the east is still inextricably linked to the Great Jin. Not to mention, the Great Jin killed Ni Han and had completed two-thirds of the ten-year agreement. Next, there was only one Long Yu left. After killing the three demons, the Great Jin army's troops should be aimed at the world.
By then, the Hou family, like all other forces in the world, will face him.
"Brother, second brother, are you worried about Dajin?"
"Nonsense, Dajin is so strong, it's not a good thing."
Unlike Hou Yucheng's directness, Hou Yuxiao saw that Hou Yuduan's face did not show any solemnity, but his face was relaxed, and he immediately felt a little confused, as if Lao Wu was not as worried about the power of the Great Jin Dynasty as he and Hou Yucheng.
"Aren't you worried?"
Hou Yu gently smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said, "Brother, second brother, in my opinion, the one that we, Hou, has the least worry about is the Great Jin."
When Hou Yuduan said this, he paused for a moment. Seeing that the confusion on Hou Yuxiao and his two faces became even stronger, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
It was noon, and there was only a scorching sun in the sky.
"There is no two days!"
……………………
When the two of them heard these four words, their bodies suddenly shook.
There is no two days!
Hou Yuxiao raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. The fear in his expression disappeared in an instant because of these four words. Hou Yucheng, who was standing next to him, had a heavy face suddenly decreased by 90%. Tong Kong Kong gradually showed joy and emotion. Obviously, the four words Hou Yuduan also touched him a lot.
"What's wrong with Qingmiao City?"
With the words Hou Yuduan, Hou Yuxiao quickly pulled his thoughts out of the Great Jinzhong. He looked down at Qingmiao City and turned around to ask about the situation of the two.
"The six great masters of the Rakshasa Holy Sect have left with Duanmu Hong. My elder brother has been in the Five Elements Heaven for four days. The remaining enemies of Qingmiao City have been basically eliminated and all are under the control of the Hexi Army. In addition, we sent Hongkui to lead the Hongmiao Army to conquer Baimiao City and Zimiao City. Now the entire five cities in southern Xinjiang have all belonged to me Hexi!"
Hearing that all southern Xinjiang had returned to Hexi, Hou Yuxiao's big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally landed on the ground. After breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at Hou Yucheng with a serious expression and asked, "How is my Hexi injury in this battle?"
This is obviously a heavy problem. Hou Yucheng's face, which had just relaxed, suddenly became ugly again, and he replied in a deep voice: "The damage ahead is all good. The main reason is that the battle of Qingmiao City has damaged most of our troops. By the counting yesterday, there were still 160,000 Zhaoyang Army and only 120,000 Chiyan Army. The total losses of the 700,000 elite troops heading south this time are 420,000."
When Hou Yucheng reported the number 420,000, not only did he speak a heavy tone, but his face also became extremely ugly. Of course, it was not only him, but Hou Yuxiao's face also became much darker in an instant. It was the most calm and steady-looking old fifth. When he heard this number, his face looked much ugly.
There is no way, this loss is too great for Hexi!
The 400,000 Zhaoyang Army and the 300,000 Red Flame Army can be said to be the most powerful elite force in Hexi at present. Of course, in addition to these 700,000 elite troops, the Hou family also has 600,000 Hexi Army, but how can the Hexi Army compare with these elite troops?
The Red Flame Army, who had practiced the Holy Army Code, had the ability to overwhelm the powerful force in the Broken Realm. Although the Zhaoyang Army had not practiced the Holy Army Code, their minimum cultivation level was the seventh level. Compared with the Hexi Army, they were not even a little stronger.
These elite forces were not obtained for nothing. The Hou family controlled Xingnan and Hexi prefectures, the Chen family, Pingtianmen, Xiongyun Gang, and the Hou family themselves, and a total of four first-class forces. It took a full four years to expand the elite forces in their hands to 700,000. Unexpectedly, a battle in southern Xinjiang would directly lose 420,000.
"call…………"
Seeing the expressions of Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuduan, Hou Yuxiao let out a heavy breath and pulled their thoughts back and said in a deep voice: "The loss is greater, but our gains are not small. The territory in southern Xinjiang is ours. Have you figured out the situation in the five cities?"
When they heard that the southern Xinjiang belonged, their expressions improved a little.
Hou Yuduan showed a little excitement on his face and replied: "The most prosperous of the five cities is Qingmiao City where we are now. The population was nearly 6 million before the war. Although the siege was fierce, most of the soldiers died, so the population is still about 4.5 million. The population of the other four cities is more than 4 million. The population of the entire southern Xinjiang has exceeded 20 million."
A bright color suddenly flashed through Hou Yuxiao's eyes. There were more than 20 million people. The population of the two prefectures and nine counties currently controlled by Hexi was only this number, which means that the population controlled by Hexi now doubled.
In the current chaos, population means everything!
Having a sufficient population means enough wealth, and more directly, the number of warriors will increase greatly. In this way, the Hou family can expand its army. In the first four years, Hexi can pull out an army of 1.3 million, which is due to the fact that it has a population of more than 20 million under the entire Hexi Alliance.
"Although there are only five cities in the southern border, the area of the entire territory is larger than that of Xiayuan Road. Including Hexi and Xingnan Prefectures, the territory controlled by our Hou family is close to two, with a population of nearly 50 million………………………………………….”
Perhaps he was a little shocked. Hou Yuduan stopped when he said this. He looked up at Hou Yuxiao and Hou Yucheng, and then he realized that the two of them were like him, and their breathing became a little heavy, and the child's hole was filled with excitement.
Two places, with a population of 50 million!
Looking at Shenzhou, the territory currently controlled by the Hou family is not inferior to any heaven-level power. In terms of control over the area under his control, the Hou family is even better than them.
At present, there is only one Red Miao tribe left in southern Xinjiang. As the Hexi army entered southern Xinjiang, even though the Hongju and his son were completely tied to the same boat, even considering the huge role played by the Hexi army in this battle, the Hongju and his son should undoubtedly be subordinate to each other.
Not to mention Xingnan Prefecture, the Chen family, Xiongyun Gang, and Pingtianmen have long been infiltrated by the Hou family under the framework of the Hexi Alliance. Even the army of the three families was merged into the Hou family, let alone the others.
"Based on the number of Hou army that Hexi could support before, after the southern border was incorporated into the Hexi Alliance, at least more than twice the number of soldiers could be raised. In other words, as long as the losses of this war can be made up for, perhaps the number of our Hou army can exceed three million, or even more!"
Hou Yucheng's statement was actually a bit whimsical. Hexi lost more than 400,000 elite troops in this battle. It would take no matter how long it would take for these 420,000 elite troops to make up for it, let alone, Hexi wanted to expand its army to three million.
It is true that the southern Xinjiang was defeated, but in this war, the losses of warriors in southern Xinjiang were even worse than those of the Hou family. The total number of soldiers in the Five Miao in southern Xinjiang was about 2.7 million, and the 500,000 troops of Hongmiao also lost 60% and the 2.2 million of the Four Miao was even more than 70%. According to this ratio, the number of soldiers in southern Xinjiang can be used at most is less than one million.
Moreover, the remaining army of more than 600,000, Si Miao is still considered a rebel. She was locked in prison. It is not so easy to conquer them so quickly.
"Lao Wu, how do you plan to manage it in the southern Xinjiang?"
Hou Yuduan obviously thought about this question. When he heard Hou Yuxiao ask, he didn't think about anything, and walked forward and answered:
"The war in southern Xinjiang is too fierce. Not to mention the surrendered soldiers, even ordinary people may not have good feelings for us. It is too difficult to directly manage through Hexi. So I thought it clear that the Southern Xinjiang will be included in the Hexi Alliance, but the Hongmiao people will temporarily control us. Of course, the loyalty of the Hongjuan father and son to us remains unchanged. The new policy of Hexi has been tested for a long time. Just cooperate with Hongmiao and implement it in southern Xinjiang.
In addition, the four purple, white, blue and black Miao have been in name only. The Wumiao Lunzhuang that was previously pursued in southern Xinjiang is not applicable now. The Wumiao is the same clan and there is no physiological difference. Previously, the Wumiao tribes were strongly divided into each other, and they were probably the senior leaders of southern Xinjiang. In order to safeguard their vested interests, I plan to cancel the Wumiao division, integrate them all into one, and gradually disintegrate the identity of the Miao descendants.
Opening a trade channel between the two places to open up military and military services has made the people in southern Xinjiang more and more closely connected with our Hexi, and allowed them to take advantage of the opportunity to integrate into Hexi to begin to integrate into China.
In terms of surrendered soldiers, Hongjuan and his son could only come forward. It would definitely not be possible to incorporate them all in a short time. He could only borrow Hongjuan and his son to stabilize them, and then spend time to penetrate. When the southern Xinjiang is completely integrated with Hexi, their problems will naturally be solved……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Hou Yuduan said a lot in one breath. Hou Yuxiao's eyes were full of brilliance when he heard it. He also had ideas about how to govern southern Xinjiang, but after Hou Yuduan said this, he almost covered everything he had thought of and unexpectedly.
“All in all, it’s five:
First, Hongmiao will temporarily help us transition to the governance of southern Xinjiang;
Second, Hongmiao came forward to accommodate the surrendered soldiers;
Third, start implementing the new Hexi policy in southern Xinjiang;
Fourth, disintegrate the concept of Miao people in southern Xinjiang, and gradually let the concept of Miao people and even the word Miao completely disappear in southern Xinjiang, accelerate the integration of the people of Wumiao people and allow them to adapt quickly;
Fifth, accelerate the strengthening of communication between southern Xinjiang and Hexi, including business and martial arts, so that they can quickly integrate into Hexi, and even integrate into China, and replace their original Miaoge identity!"
Hou Yuduan is really the treasure of Hou.
After Hou Yuxiao sighed, he found that he didn't need to add anything. He nodded directly and said, "Just do what the fifth brother said. You should speed up your efforts to do these things in the next time. During this period, I will be in Qingmiao City. If there is any wrong situation, you can come to me. In addition, I will send someone to send a message back to Hexi and bring back the news of victory in the southern Xinjiang, so that the third brother and fourth brother will worry about the tribe."
"Yes, brother!"
Hou Yuduan and Hou Yucheng nodded and bowed, and turned around and went out randomly. However, before he left the door, Hou Yuxiao added another sentence later:
"By the way, I'll send someone to Hei Miao City to inform the Red Rose Tribe Chief, and I'll say I want to see him."
Hou Yuduan's expression was certain and nodded immediately.
"I'll do it right now!"
……………………
Watching the two left, Hou Yuxiao raised his neck and looked at the center of Qingmiao City, where the temple was located, and disappeared in an instant.
The main hall of the temple was empty, and Hou Yuxiao sat on the main seat without hesitation.
If he could, he would definitely want to go back to Hexi immediately, but there were too many unstable factors just being fought in southern Xinjiang. Not to mention the outside world, even Wumiao might have many masters not dead. If he leaves at this time and leaves the second and fifth brothers here, there will be some trouble, which will be bad.
Therefore, he must continue to be in southern Xinjiang. Not to mention waiting for the situation in southern Xinjiang to stabilize completely, at least, he must ensure that Hongcai and his son have no problems before they can leave peacefully.
Fortunately, he didn't have anything to do.
Hou Yuxiao took out the five-colored spirit stone from the sea of consciousness and put it in his hand, his eyes full of heat and excitement. In addition to the southern border territory, the biggest gain for him this time should be this five-colored spirit stone.
The five elements heavenly core, the body of the three great demons, the cold body.
Ni Han has been killed, but his body is still there, which means that the Five Elements Heaven, which was crushed by the war, is actually still there. There is a source blood in the Five Elements Heaven that can improve talent, and Hou Yuxiao remembers it clearly.
Half of the Five Elements Heaven, let me see what kind of scene it is inside!
Hou Yuxiao's breath was absorbed and extended into the five-colored spirit stone. An illusory gate emitting dark spiritual light suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking at the dark world that was exactly the same as before, Hou Yuxiao's boy Kong Wei Ning, slowly stood up and walked in.
As expected, although the V Han died, the Five Elements Heaven is still there!
Chapter completed!
