It’s just the accumulation of quantity!

Ignoring the hysterical Shi Dewei, Li Xiao thought it was better to take a good look at the scenery in front of him.

This is Li Xiao's first time coming to Central Asia. In his impression, Central Asia is full of yellow land.

It is a place even more northern than Shaanxi and even more Gansu than Gansu.

But when he actually arrived in Central Asia, Li Xiao knew that he was completely wrong.

Central Asia also has rice fields as far as the eye can see, and land full of wheat. Many hillsides are also covered with fruit trees.

It's not the season yet, but if it comes to autumn, there should be plenty of fruits.

The rolling Amu Darya River turns out to be as magnificent as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

I have to say that my previous understanding of Central Asia was wrong.

Although there are wild-like saline-alkali lands and large areas of desert here, it is definitely not as barren as Li Xiao imagined!

One day after leaving Ili, I began to see scattered Russian settlements.

I guess these are all Russians who moved from Europe. This won’t work!

Such a good place must not be controlled by Russia.

As a latecomer, Li Xiao certainly has a natural distrust of the Russian nation.

Even though Yekaterina is as good as a cat now, once their wings are fully fledged, they will be even more ferocious than the most ferocious jackals.

The famous Russian thinking and the title of fighting nation are not called for nothing.

We must remain vigilant against this nation, or we must maintain high vigilance.

For a nation that can produce Putin, one cannot be too wary.

But now we have to make use of these Russians, because they are the natural road protection team.

"Who will govern these places?" Li Xiao looked back at Shi Dewei.

This guy finally woke up from his stupor. When Li Xiao asked, he quickly replied: "Now the tribes here are basically governing. After the Russians came, they wanted to set up counties here.

Sun Shoufu said, let the Russians take charge first. After all, the Russians are the main force when building roads."

"That's not right! Telegram Sun Yuanhua now. The tribes in Central Asia must maintain a high degree of autonomy.

Russian villages can only exist here in an autonomous form.

Moscow is not allowed to issue any political orders to places outside the Principality of Moscow."

"Commander, you are worried...!" Even though Shi Dewei has been a military attaché, his political sense is not bad at all.

"Don't forget what happened in Jiangdong Sixty Tuns. The Russians were so cruel back then. Did they ever have the slightest kindness towards the Ming Dynasty?

Surrendering now is a last resort.

There is a saying in Ming Dynasty that a man can bend and stretch. That girl, Ekaterina, has no problem with bending.

But if we are fooled by the illusion she presents, then we are the sinners of China.

Look, if such a good land is controlled by the Russians, it will become a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, before our power can effectively occupy this place, we still need to maintain the tradition of a high degree of autonomy here!

At the same time, Ming Dynasty must maintain a certain degree of armed force here."

"Sending agriculturists?" Now when he thinks of garrisoning troops in remote places, Stevie's first thought is to station agriculturists.

Because this saves so much money, the farmers in the Western Regions have even begun to make money now.

“Farmers are not good enough and their deterrent force is not enough.

Let the entire fourth division move here, the reason is ready, to protect the road!"

"What reason does our Ming Dynasty need to garrison troops? But if the Fourth Division comes here, then... the Third Division will garrison the entire northwest.

The Third Division currently has only more than 34,000 personnel. With such a large area, the Third Division may not be able to handle it.

Not only the Third Division, but also the Fourth Division has only more than 32,000 personnel. It is the division with the thinnest number of soldiers among all the divisions.

Along this long railway line, the Fourth Division may be too busy.

If you, Commander, have the idea of ​​moving the defense, I still say the same thing, it is best to expand the army.

Otherwise, with such a small number of people, it would really be impossible to separate them."

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and there's nothing she can do without so many soldiers.

In fact, Shi Dewei has mentioned the matter of military expansion several times!

The current Ming army is actually mainly composed of the Liao army.

Needless to say, the four main divisions are the core of the Liao Army.

But the treatment of the four main divisions is also different!

Ao Ye's first division actually had a terrifying number of 100,000 men, and the troops were stationed around the capital all year round.

The intention is obvious, which is to maintain the political stability of Ming Dynasty.

The Second Division is mainly stationed in Fujian and is known as a powerful force in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, Shi Dewei knew that it was to intimidate the Zheng family, the local snake.

The Second Division has much fewer headquarters than the First Division, with only a little over 50,000 personnel.

Cao Wenzhao of the Third Division is stationed in Xi'an and controls the entire northwest. He has only more than 30,000 soldiers!

After Zu Dashou was killed in battle, the garrison of the Fourth Division was moved to the Western Regions to suppress the Western Regions people.

The Fourth Division has less soldiers than the Third Division. It is the division with the weakest foundation among the four field divisions.
