The 16th year of Kaihuang, spring!

The army of the Western Expedition took over Tianmu City.

Liu Baoping officially became king and the King of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

One is the King of Pingnan Ling Changzhi, the other is the King of Pingxi Liu Baoping, one in the south and one in the north, just like the two gate gods of the Great Zhou.

People in the world say that these two are the gatekeepers of the Great Zhou.

Liu Baoping laughed at this.

Ling Changzhi was very depressed.

He was the king of Southern Xinjiang, the master of Southern Xinjiang, and not a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He and Dazhou have no affiliation.

Why do people in the world blind their eyes and cannot see them all?

Yan Yunge wrote a sincere letter to Ling Changzhi.

He was sincere and thoughtful, and he spread everything out.

The Great Zhou did not get involved in the Southern Xinjiang. How many years would it take for the Ling clan to take over the entire Southern Xinjiang and increase the population of southern Xinjiang by ten times or a hundred times?

Fifty years?

One hundred years?

Two hundred years?

Or three hundred years?

The southern border is very big, with high mountains and jungles, tribal barbarians, and they also have to face threats from the sea.

Without enough population, the Ling clan could only defend the coastal line and could not make any progress.

The large tracts of land behind me are wasted in vain, and maybe one day they will be cheaper outsiders and stronger enemies.

By then, the Ling clan will definitely be attacked from both sides.

Can a century-old foundation still be maintained?

This is not alarmist.

The Ling family brought civilization to southern Xinjiang and broadened the horizons of the locals.

At the same time, it also brought ambitions and wars.

According to the laws of development of things, sooner or later, a talented person who can survive in the world will appear in the local natives, leading the entire jungle tribe and killing all outsiders.

The founding of the country was made emperor and a kingdom belonging to the natives.

At that time, the Ling clan, who is an outsider and those who depend on them, will face a catastrophe.

Indigenous people, they have a population advantage, spread throughout southern Xinjiang, and are familiar with the terrain.

The consequences of the right time, place, people, and indigenous leaders who have been educated, have vision and culture can be imagined with their toes.

By then, the Ling clan would either be destroyed or changed its surname, change its native surname, change its cultural beliefs, and completely integrate it into the local natives.

Tragic!

Whether it is genocide or integration, it can only be called tragic.

what to do?

The best way is to strengthen yourself before the indigenous people grow up and before they are unified.

The first thing is to increase the population, a hundred times the population increase.

In terms of population, it absolutely crushes the natives.

Next, cultural assimilation...

Use city civilizations and advanced civilizations to impact the indigenous faith...

Promote the jungle and occupy territory.

Occupy the entire southern Xinjiang in a true sense.

This is a long-term plan. Without the cooperation of the court, without the court's transportation of a large population, it is difficult to achieve without fifty years of hard work.

Changing faith, culture, and society will take at least three generations of effort.

Even five or six generations.

It is not enough to rely solely on the Ling clan and those who depend on them.

Far from enough.

Too few people!

Too little power.

Yan Yunge asked Ling Changzhi in the letter how long has it been since he sent troops to attack the jungle?

How long has it been since the rebels been strangled?

I don't want to.

But it's not enough to meet the strength.

The jungle is too big and the front line is too long.

Ling Changzhi needed to divide his troops to guard the dock and the city.

The remaining troops went deep into the jungle to start a war, which was obviously not enough.

It is likely to become cannon fodder.

Moreover, the supply line is too long and the risk of being cut off from supply is always in danger.

but……

If there is support from the court and reinforcements from troops, all problems will not be a problem.

Just like back then, Xiao Chengwen strongly supported him in attacking southern Xinjiang.

Not to mention the power of the whole country, we only need to use the power from the south to let Prince De Xiao Yuanjia coordinate the logistics and support Ling Changzhi to start the war. The war situation will definitely be crushing, pushing it across the road and crushing all the indigenous tribes.

In southern Xinjiang, the Great Zhou Dynasty was within reach.

The hands of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not be stretched out so long within a hundred years.

This is why Yan Yunge treats Liu Baoping and Ling Changzhi differently.

Liu Baoping is too far away to control it.

Then let him fly by himself.

The other party should also be grateful to himself.

Ling Changzhi is located in southern Xinjiang, which seems to be very far away, but is far away from the capital.

He was on the southern border, heading south...

So close, how could he be allowed to wander away and build a country alone and become an emperor?

That's absolutely impossible.

Yan Yunge, with the greatest sincerity, told everything frankly in the letter, and hoped that Ling Changzhi would make the right choice for the Ling family's century-long plan.

Don't just do it alone.

The Great Zhou had the power to send troops to capture Pingzhou City.

I don't do this because I respect him.

Respect the contributions made by the Ling clan to southern Xinjiang.

This contribution must not be erased just because of inconsistent positions.

This is respect for old friends and the only opponent in this life!

How to choose, decide!

Ling Changzhi had a headache, but he was extremely grateful.

Last year, he became a great-grandfather.

The fourth generation of the eldest grandson of the Ling family was born, and the Ling family will pass on it from generation to generation.

Pingzhou City is becoming more and more prosperous and has an increasing population.

It looks like everything is beautiful.

but……

As the saying goes, cooking oil with fire, flowers are blooming.

Beauty is the surface, and the surface is full of dangers and hidden murderous intent.

As the population increases, the main ones are businessmen, students, and ronin.
