Taishi Ci led a cavalry division of 10,000 men into Suiye City, crushing and pushing them horizontally, and the morale of the defenders was reduced to the Shentang.

No matter how much King Mo Mi shouted, the defenders just tried to escape for their lives.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The four city gates were sealed by King Mo Mi's order. Now Taishi Ci entered the city and the defenders tried to escape.

It's basically impossible.

The cavalry division rushed into the city, and with the cooperation of the gunmen/pikemen, gradually swallowed up the territory of the city defenders. They captured one street and rushed towards the other street.

Proceed in an orderly manner.

Bang!

A city defender hiding in the dark was shot dead by a gunner/gunner.

In addition, the death of the Captain Ten Thousands made more and more defenders feel sad and turned a blind eye to King Mo Mi's cries.

The Xiakou Army is a benevolent and righteous army and will never take action against the people in the city. As long as the people hide at home, the soldiers of the Xiakou Army will never harass the people.

The Xiakou Army will never turn into a criminal act of wanton plunder and robbery like the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Mauryan Empire.

Within an hour, the battle in the city was over.

Qin Qi and Jia Xu rode war horses and slowly walked into Suiye City with their guards, heading towards the palace of King Momi.

"Reporting to my lord, a total of more than 13,000 city defenders have been annihilated, more than 18,000 prisoners have been captured, more than 30,000 war horses have been captured, and countless weapons have been seized. The contents of the two warehouses seized are being counted and it will take some time.

"

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

"How many casualties did we have?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, the casualties were mainly heavy cavalry. They dismounted and climbed the city wall to fight. More than a thousand people were seriously injured and died, and more than 3,000 people were slightly injured. Other artillery/lancers and cavalry divisions basically suffered no major losses."

Send orders to soldiers.

well!

Qin Qi sighed secretly.

"After the soldiers' bodies are cremated, they must be taken away. We cannot let the warriors die and leave their bodies in the wilderness.

They must be brought back to the Central Plains and buried in the Martyrs Cemetery. In addition, the relics of the fallen soldiers should be preserved and handed over to their families when the time comes."

Qin Qi warned.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"How many people are there in the city?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, according to statistics, there are about 100,000 people in the city. However, the area under Mo Mi's jurisdiction has a total population of more than 200,000, and we have almost taken over all of them."

Send orders to soldiers.

"It's time to take up his post as a military and civilian official!"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, we take control of the city and will immediately arrange for military and civil servants to take up their posts to handle the affairs of the city."

Send orders to soldiers.

Um!

Qin Qi nodded.

"My lord, King Mo Mi captured him and kept clamoring to see my lord?"

Send orders to soldiers.

snort!

Qin Qi snorted coldly.

Mo Mi has the blood of the Huns, and now that he is captured, he wants to speak plainly with nothing and make countless promises.

Qin Qi knew the virtues of these prairie people, so there was no way they could be deceived again unless their heads were flooded or caught in a door.

"Send people to deal with Mo Mi and his senior officials at night. Remember not to be seen by people in the city. Keep things hidden and don't expose them."

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"After the materials in the warehouse are counted, check how much food there is, try to open the warehouse to stock up on food, and try to gain the support of the people in the city.

Tell the civil servants to quickly post notices to publicize the policies of the Central Plains region so that the people in the city can feel at ease."

Qin Qi said.

Stabilizing the people in the city and restoring order are top priorities.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

To be honest, the Western Region is really difficult to control!

If you want to take control, you must gain the support of the people in the Western Regions. Otherwise, people with ulterior motives may deceive people and rebel at any time.

Those kings and officials must not stay, those who resist must be eliminated, and those who surrender must move to Luoyang City, so as not to leave any trouble in the Western Regions.

Although the races in the Western Regions at this time are not ethnic minorities in later generations, they must be assimilated so that the people of the Western Regions can identify with the Central Plains region.

Seizing territory without converting the local people will only result in a white land, which is difficult for the Central Plains Empire to actually control.

It is in the interests of the Central Plains Empire that people must live on the territory.

The Western Region is too vast.

The land is vast and the people are sparse.

The messengers walked out of the palace.

"Mr. Wenhe, I want to send those pedantic cultural people from the Central Plains region to the Western Regions.

Let them teach the people of the Western Regions etiquette, benevolence and righteousness, and hope that their methods will be effective in the Western Regions, what do you think?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, those people are shouting happily, but if we really want them to come to the Western Regions, I think all of them will give in immediately."

Jia Xu said.

Qin Qi also understood in her heart.

"Lord, in fact, there are still a group of people in our Central Plains Civilization School who are literate, and some of them used to have high status.

You can let those people enter the Western Regions and let them be responsible for educating the people of the Western Regions. If they stay in the Western Regions for ten or eight years, their crimes can be pardoned and their families can be released without being held accountable. I guess some people will be willing."

Jia Xu said.

oh!

Qin Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this.

It is indeed a method. It is difficult to assimilate the people of the Western Regions by relying solely on officials to govern the place, so it must be done proactively.

"Mr. Wenhe, you are responsible for this matter. You can arrange this matter after returning to the Central Plains."

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Wenhe, there are too many semi-desert areas in the Western Regions, and they must be managed properly.

Otherwise, in a few hundred years, the semi-desert area will transform into a truly uninhabited desert. First, we need to let the people know that

Protect water resources, don’t waste water, and plant more trees. Poplar trees like these in this area must be protected.

We cannot allow people to continue deforestation indiscriminately. The problem is that people have to raise sheep. Animals like sheep have great destructive power on pastures.

It is difficult for people to stop raising sheep, and we need to find other industries to replace it. We have a long way to go."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, what we have done is actually pretty good. We are mining more coal in the Western Regions and letting the people develop the habit of burning coal. Slowly, the ecological environment in the Western Regions will get better. Don't be too hasty."

Jia Xu said.
