"It's really a piece of stuffed Jiangnan."
Zhang Chao looked at the incredible Qianmo farmland in front of him and said in amazement.
He Houde, the governor of Hezhong and the governor of Huoxun, said with some pride, "There is a unique geographical advantage here and sufficient water sources.
Then there is the planning and scheduling of His Majesty and the imperial court, and more than ten years of vigorous immigration and development, which has led to today's scene in the south of the Yangtze River. ” Huo Xun used to be one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu and one of the countries of the Western Regions.
It is located in the lower reaches of the Wuhu River.
The surname Zhaowu is also known as the Sogdians, and the Sogdians are the descendants of the Otsuki clan.
During the Han Dynasty, some of the Dayue clan moved westward, and finally came to this oasis and grassland between the Wuhu River and the Kalatau Mountains, where they interacted and merged with the local aborigines, and finally formed the Sogdians with the surname Zhaowu Jiu.
For those of the Otsutsuki clan, the fact that their descendants have the opportunity to form nine clusters with obvious blood imprints in the Sogdian region also has a lot to do with the geographical characteristics here.
The oasis agricultural areas, which are located in the various river valleys, are naturally independent.
When they are united by powerful regimes, these oases with the same ethnic background can easily become politically independent states.
According to the records of the Central Plains, the descendants of these Dayue clans, known as the Sogdians with the surname Zhaowu Jiu, were previously divided into nine countries, including Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Huoxun, Wudi, and Shi.
Among them, the five ethnic groups of Kang, An, Cao, Mi and He are distributed in Samarkand, that is, the area in the middle reaches of the Zeravshan River; Wudi is in the area of Bukhara, which is also an oasis in the lower reaches of the Zeravshan River; The oasis of the Chirchik River, where Tashkent is located, belongs to the land of the "Stone Country", the country that later caused the Battle of Talas in history; Shi Guo, on the other hand, occupies the piedmont alluvial fan area of the Karshi River basin where it is most likely to become an oasis.
That is, the "thirsty stone" region of Timur's homeland.
Among the Nine Kingdoms, Huo Xun is a special one, he is a country independent of the Zhaowu system, this country also belongs to the descendants of the Dayue clan, and his location is in Wuhushui, that is, the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River in the later generations.
It was a lowland hinterland, not backed by the Tien Shan Mountains like other fraternal tribes with the same roots.
Moreover, in terms of geographical plates, the country of Huoxun does not belong to the Sogdian plate, but belongs to the central river region of Central Asia, which is an important part of it, the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River and the delta region.
In Central Asia, where the lowlands almost mean deserts, it is extremely difficult to establish a foothold in the lower reaches of a river that can stand up to the surrounding countries.
The foundation for the Fire Seeking Country to gain a foothold in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River comes from the abundant water volume of the Amu Darya River.
In the Central Plains, which includes the grassland zone, the Amu Darya River Valley, which is created by the three highlands of the Tianshan Mountains, the Green Mountains and the Hindu Kush Mountains, has extremely large water resource potential.
Especially now that it has not been overdeveloped, the annual traffic is huge.
Its annual runoff is even the sum of the other two major rivers in Central Asia, the Syr Darya and the Ili, which are the second and third largest rivers in Central Asia.
Such abundant water resources, coupled with a relatively low latitude, make it extremely rich in water resources, light and heat resources, and has the potential to be the best agricultural center in Central Asia.
In addition to the middle and upper reaches of the mountain, which are naturally protected by mountains, the Amu Darya River after crossing the desert still has the spare energy to flow out of a large area of wetlands when it flows into the Aral Sea, which is the Amu Darya Delta.
In fact, when the Erie River and the Syr Darya River in the north emptied into Lake Balkhash and the Aral Sea, the delta plain was also deposited due to the sudden decrease in flow rate, but these two deltas had no status, firstly, the volume of water in the Amu Darya River was larger, and the delta plain formed was also larger, and secondly, the climate and environment of the Amu Darya Delta were also more suitable for agricultural development, and the frost-free period reached 200 days a year.
It is precisely in view of these two points that Zhang Chao personally set the national policy for the large-scale development of the western region, and there is a special plan for the development of the agricultural center in the Wuhu Water Delta Plain.
Far from the mountains, the huge delta plain is geographically somewhat lonely, and is not on the trade routes between the East and the West compared to the middle reaches of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, which are attached to the Tien Shan Mountains.
The Amu Darya Delta, surrounded by deserts and the Aral Sea, has not had any major development in the past, and the Huoxun Kingdom used to monopolize this place, but it was only a third-rate small country in Central Asia, and it was subject to Turkic, Persian and other countries in the past.
That huge delta, the Fire Seekers hadn't really developed them before.
But Dahua has been in this delta for 12 years, but it has turned the world upside down.
Juntun farms, state-run farms, and even the farms of many immigrants, the aqueducts that the imperial court invested heavily in planning and building, and even dredged the Wuhu water to make it a canal.
At the same time, the imperial court built this place as the center of the Hanzhong region, and used it as a bridgehead for the forward position of monitoring and fighting against the Arabs, making this area a place where the Zhaowu region came to dominate.
There are many armies stationed here all year round, there are military forts and farms everywhere, and there are many military and civilian workshops and enterprises.
Originally isolated in the desert, lonely and unsafe.
But because of the full development of the Dahua Empire, it has become a pearl in the northwest border of the empire.
This agricultural center has even become a center of commerce and commerce, and the grain produced here has even been able to meet the needs of the military and civilians throughout the Hochu Province.
In recent years, the Arabs have become more and more arrogant and arrogant, which has also made Dahua continue to pay attention to the frontier of the river.
The Aral Sea Fleet, the Caspian Sea Fleet, and the two Inner Lake Fleets continued to expand in size, and even marine divisions were stationed in the two lakes.
The emperor also came to the Aral Sea on his western tour.
In the middle of the river, Huoxun Province, Zhang Chao turned around and was very satisfied.
The unique geographical conditions here, coupled with the farming technology of Dahua in the Central Plains, coupled with a large number of immigrants, have made the wasteland here a strange place, full of golden rice and wheat.
In the past, the Turkic nomads, the Zhaowu Sogdian nomads, and some oasis natives are now all obedient and obedient to the Dahua people.
As a border land, the river road has many fiefs of princes, but there are also many prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court.
Zhang Chao still values control, all the way over, he saw that on the wide and flat avenues, most of the people walking are Han merchants and Han people in the Central Plains, and most of the people who cultivate in the vertical and horizontal fields are Han people, and he is very pleased.
The indigenous Hu people here are not the majority, and they don't even account for ten percent.
A steady stream of Hermes-Epitek has become the new owner of the place.

The owner of the castle, the owner of the farm, the owner of the mine, the owner of the workshop.
There were also slaves from Central Asia and even all over Europe, and all kinds of aliens were trafficked here by their compatriots, sent to work in various workshops, mines, farms, and in their spare time, they listened to Confucian scholars preach sermons, preach Chinese history, and learn Chinese characters.
Whether they were white or black, blonde or brown-haired, they all began to unify their Han hairstyles and wear Han costumes.
Looking at those alien businessmen, the alien slaves also began to speak Chinese, and even wrote Chinese characters, living like a Han Chinese, Zhang Chao felt that his efforts over the years had not been in vain.
That's what he's always wanted to do.
Although there are still a few big cities like Huoxun in the Hanaka region, and most of them are still very poor, the most important ones are already there.
There is no longer a Persian church, nor an Arab Crescent church, nor a Roman Catholic church.
Here, there are Confucian temples everywhere, and then the Temple of Caishen, the Temple of the City God, and so on, which are full of Han flavor.
Ideas are unified, there is no collision and no confusion.
"He Qing, Hezhong has developed rapidly over the years, especially very stable, and your credit is indispensable.
I see that you have served two terms here.
I talked to Prime Minister Chu Qing and transferred you back to Beijing after the year to take up the post of secretary of the household department. ” From the governor of the border area, he was transferred back to the central government to serve as the secretary of the household department, which was naturally a promotion.
Hubu Shangshu is the third of the six departments, if he can do something during his tenure, the next one is to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister of the cabinet or the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
"Thank Your Majesty for Your Appreciation" "This is all your own merits, I appreciate you the most two things, one is that you are willing to work hard, can turn this lonely land in the desert into a prosperous northwest pearl, into an agricultural and commercial center, it is not simple.
Secondly, you are willing to bury your head in the work, but you can also look up at the situation, and you can stabilize the situation here, and you can do a very good job of maintaining stability, which is also very important to me. ” It is nothing just to develop the economy, and the most important thing in this kind of frontier land is control and stability.
We can't let our minds be confused, and we can't let those Hu barbarians be unruly and disobedient to the king.
And in terms of domesticating barbarians, Governor He has indeed done a good job.
Zhang Hui and they fought with the Arabs in the front, so the rear on the border should be more stable.
"Hasn't Zhang Hui arrived yet?"
Zhang Chao asked the guard next to him.
The guard replied respectfully, "King Nibra has arrived, and is waiting outside for His Majesty's summons. ” "Are Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, and Li Gan also here?"
"The three generals have also arrived."
Hmm, Zhang Chao nodded.
Zhang Hui served as the marshal of the Western Expedition, and it has been two years since he and Xue Wang Li and others commanded the Western Expedition to Arabia.
In two years, the record is not bad.
The long land and sea border has been fought several times.
At present, the Caspian Sea has been completely controlled by Dahua, and the southwest coast of the Caspian Sea was originally in the hands of the Arabs, but now it has been seized by Dahua.
Even in the Arabian Sea, maritime control has largely fallen into the hands of Dahua.
Although Dahua only controlled the narrow coastline on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, there was an increasingly powerful Caspian fleet and Caspian land divisions, and the Arabs did not dare to take it.
The situation is very good, but Zhang Chao still plans to listen to Zhang Hui's plans for these generals. t1706231537:
