My subjects are too rebellious!

Shengjing has been an important town in the northern border of the Wu Dynasty since ancient times. It has a dangerous terrain and an extremely important strategic location.

Yue Fei's appointment to take over Shengjing was not only a great affirmation of his military talents, but also a reflection of Qin Chuan's deep hope for peace on the border.

The army marched to the outskirts of Shengjing City, with flags covering the sky and drums of war thundering. Yue Fei rode a tall horse, stood in front of the formation, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the land that he would soon be protecting.

He knew very well that his mission was not only to take over the city defense, but also to ensure that the people on this land could live and work in peace and happiness, free from the suffering of war.

Following Yue Fei's order, the army entered the city in an orderly manner, with strict discipline and without harming anyone.

After entering the city, Yue Fei immediately set about reorganizing the city defenses, strengthening patrols, and building and reinforcing the city walls. At the same time, he dispatched capable generals to various places to take over and optimize the local defense systems to ensure that every inch of land was under the solid protection of the Wu Dynasty.

In terms of management, Yue Fei adhered to the concept of "benevolent government", went deep into the people, understood their sentiments, reduced their burdens, built water conservancy projects, encouraged farming, and developed the economy.

Only by allowing the people to live a good life can we truly achieve long-term stability in the border areas.

Yue Fei's governance in Shengjing was effective. Not only did he win the heartfelt support of the local people, but he also made the border of the Wu Dynasty more stable. He guarded the northern gate of the Wu Dynasty for generations.

In order to further strengthen the defense of Yunnan Prefecture and ensure the stability and prosperity of this important area in southern Xinjiang, Qin Chuan specially ordered General Huang Zhong of Annan, a veteran who was braver than the other three armies and had a great prestige, to lead an elite army of 150,000 to garrison Yunnan Prefecture.

Huang Zhong, although old but determined, was loyal to the Wu Dynasty.

He was fully aware of the heavy responsibility he had when he was given this order. As the army marched, they were in neat order and their morale was high.

Huang Zhong rode on his warhorse with a determined look in his eyes. He knew very well that Yunnan Prefecture had a complex terrain and many ethnic groups, and it was not easy to govern.

But he also believed that he would be able to overcome all difficulties and complete the important task entrusted by His Majesty.

After arriving in Yunnan Prefecture, Huang Zhong immediately took charge of the city defense affairs. He personally inspected the city walls and checked the defense facilities to ensure that every part was impregnable.

At the same time, he went deep into the military camp, rectified military discipline, improved the soldiers' combat effectiveness and discipline, and built a solid line of defense to protect Yunnan Prefecture.

In terms of management, he respected the customs and habits of local ethnic groups, promoted a policy of harmonious coexistence among ethnic groups, and won the trust and support of people of all ethnic groups.

He attached importance to agricultural development, encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, the construction of water conservancy projects, and the increase of grain production, laying a solid foundation for the economic prosperity of Yunnan Prefecture.

In addition, he also focused on the development of education, cultivating talents, and improving the cultural literacy and civilization of the local people.

Under Huang Zhong's meticulous governance, Yunnan Prefecture gradually became prosperous and stable.

The city defenses were strong, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all ethnic groups lived in harmony, contributing together to the prosperity of the southern border of the Wu Dynasty.

Huang Zhong was therefore honored by the local people as the "Guardian God of Yunnan" and was guarded by the Yunnan Prefecture for generations.

Nanning Prefecture.

When Wei Qing led the army on the march, they maintained strict discipline and high morale.

Wei Qing led by example, shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and won the respect and love of the entire army.

They crossed mountains and rivers, and after untold hardships, they finally arrived in Nanning Prefecture.

As soon as he arrived in Nanning Prefecture, Wei Qing immediately took charge of the city's defense affairs.

He personally surveyed the terrain, deployed troops, strengthened the city wall defenses, and ensured that Nanning Prefecture was impregnable.

At the same time, he also paid attention to military training, improving the soldiers' combat effectiveness and adaptability, and building an indestructible barrier for the security of Nanning Prefecture.

In managing local officials, Wei Qing adhered to the principles of fairness and impartiality, rectified administration, eliminated corruption, and selected talented people to hold important positions.

He encouraged officials to work diligently and love the people, and to seek benefits for the common people, winning wide praise and support from the people of Nanning Prefecture.

In addition, Wei Qing also focused on developing economic and cultural undertakings. He encouraged farming, built water conservancy projects, and improved agricultural production efficiency.

At the same time, he also attached importance to the development of education and culture, advocated respecting teachers and valuing education, and cultivated a large number of outstanding talents.

Under his governance, Nanning Prefecture gradually became the economic and cultural center of southern Xinjiang, winning Qin Chuan's high praise and trust.

The generations will forever be stationed in Nanning Prefecture.

In order to ensure the peace and stability of southern Xinjiang for generations, Wei Qing and veteran Huang Zhong decided that simply guarding Nanning Prefecture and Yunnan Prefecture would not be enough to ensure peace in the entire southern Xinjiang, so they decided to take more far-reaching strategic actions.

After careful discussion and preparation, Wei Qing and Huang Zhong decided to join forces and send a large army south to conquer Ava, Baigu, Vientiane, Qianluo and other places located south of Nanning Prefecture and Yunnan Prefecture.

Although these regions were independent of each other, they had long posed a certain threat to the southern border of the Wu Dynasty, and their internal turmoil and unrest often affected the stability of surrounding areas.

On the day the army set out, flags covered the sky and drums of war thundered.

Wei Qing and Huang Zhong led their elite divisions respectively, divided their forces and attacked together, advancing towards their targets with tremendous force.

During the war, Wei Qing used his outstanding military talent and flexibly applied the tactics of war to win many battles with a smaller force and by using wisdom.

He focused on intelligence gathering, accurately judged the enemy situation, and formulated a series of effective combat plans.

Huang Zhong, with his rich combat experience and fearless spirit, led the charge and set an example for the soldiers.

After several months of fierce fighting, the Wu Dynasty army successively conquered Ava, Baigu, Vientiane, Qianluo and other places, and re-incorporated these areas that had long been outside the control of the Wu Dynasty into the territory of southern Xinjiang.

In order to ensure the authority and order of the Wu Dynasty, the two took a series of measures to consolidate the results of the war.

First of all, Huang Zhong and Wei Qing decided to take tough measures against those people who were still dissatisfied and refused to obey the Wu Dynasty's management.

They gathered these people together, temporarily detained them, and brought them back to the interior of the Wu Dynasty for forced labor.

These labors mainly included digging canals, building roads and other infrastructure construction work. The purpose was to educate them to abide by order and obey management through labor, while also contributing to the development of the Wu Dynasty.

However, this approach is not pure punishment, but more of a process of guidance and education.

It is impossible to truly conquer people's hearts by relying solely on force.

Therefore, during the labor process, they also paid attention to the care and education of these people. By explaining the laws, regulations, cultural traditions and governance concepts of the Wu Dynasty, they gradually guided them to identify with and integrate into the Wu Dynasty society.

On the other hand, Huang Zhong and Wei Qing adopted a more moderate and tolerant policy towards areas that were subject to the administration of the Wu Dynasty.

They required these regions to report to the Wu Dynasty on time every month on what had happened in that month, including developments in various aspects such as politics, economy, and society.

Such institutional design not only helped the Wu Dynasty to understand the actual conditions in these regions in a timely manner and formulate more precise governance policies, but also enhanced these regions' sense of belonging and identity with the Wu Dynasty.
