Rongquan has been in Xinjiang for almost ten years, and his life has lasted for several decades, from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang, from Tianshan Mountain to Altai, from Huiyuan City to Balkhash Lake.

He had never been to the land under the jurisdiction of General Yili, except for the extremely dangerous southwest, and had traveled all other larger cities.

In the eyes of the 49-city playboys such as Doro Guanlu, Xinjiang is vast and mysterious and seems a bit out of place, but in Rong Quan's eyes, this place is already his second hometown.

Not to mention the ancients' vision, even if people in the 21st century have convenient transportation that the ancients could not imagine and have better TV media, no one dares to say that they are knowledgeable.

With such a large size in China, ordinary people in coastal areas, even ordinary civil servants, it is difficult to imagine the people's geography in the far Western Regions. You don't know what people eat, wear, or have local customs, and even more so what kind of living customs they have.

You may be able to call out one or two large cities, but you will never remember the counties, towns, mountains, and passes below the city.

Distance will always create a huge difference in people's hearts, and this difference will bring a sense of mystery!

An important reason why Li Hongzhang attacked Zuo Zongtang and attempted to give up Xinjiang was that this place was a place outside of the world and was not educated at all.

What we mean is that there is no rule here at all, and it is not the same as the Central Plains court. The people there think differently from the Central Plains.

In their eyes, limited funds must of course be invested in coastal defense. Keeping land that cannot be ruled by the distant frontier is also a burden.

He even used the example of the people in the southern border who followed the thief Aguber, saying that they only had their faith in their hearts, but no great authority for the court.

This is actually an important theoretical basis for the coastal defense faction to attack Zuo Zongtang and Lu defense faction. To be honest, it really deceived many people in the court.

When Rong Quan was in the capital, he was also influenced by this idea. Standing on the post of the Forbidden City Guards, he also fantasized about what the tens of thousands of miles of Yili looked like?

Are you really the same as Zhongyuan? Indeed, he has been shaken!

But it was not until he came to this land in person that his conception changed completely!

"My dear Lords, I'll say whatever I want... Xinjiang cannot be lost, absolutely cannot be lost! Even if the territory is lost, the main pattern of three mountains and two basins cannot be destroyed!"

"When I was in Beijing, I thought this was a barren land that was poor and poor... Yes, after Xinjiang was incorporated into the territory, the court did not ask for a single tax on it..."

"Xinjiang's wealth is concentrated in the hands of the local kings of all ethnic groups in southern and northern Xinjiang, and some of them are received by the General's Mansion of Yili!"

"Every year, only local specialties such as horses and jade are available to pay tribute to the court. There is no real tax on it, so in the eyes of the court's officials, Xinjiang is a barren land!"

"Wrong, a big mistake... This place is a barren land, and this place is actually a treasure land that is rich and rich!"

"The locals have no money, but they have countless cattle, sheep and horses... Although the agriculture in the entire Xinjiang is not developed, in some areas, such as the Hami area, the fruits and melons and fruits produced are incomparable to the Central Plains!"

"There are also minerals. Xinjiang's jade is paid tribute to the court every year, and each piece is worth tens of thousands of gold... But do you know? In the Hotan area of ​​southern Xinjiang, there are rivers of jade piled up!"

"The priceless treasure of Beijing City is everywhere, like garbage, and it is full of wasteland..."

"Not to mention the mineral deposits such as gold, silver, iron and tin... As long as you look for it patiently, or even ask a prospecting team like foreigners, there is real money and silver under the land of Xinjiang!"

"This is not a loss of money. The court has not made money here until now, which means we have not managed it well!"

Seeing Rong Quan's heartbroken look, Guan Lu quickly went up and poured a bowl of wine, "General Run Run Run First... You are right, but Northern Xinjiang is easy to deal with. I also saw that the herdsmen are very close to the court..."

"Where is the southern Xinjiang? As far as I know, there are Protestant people who have only their religion in their eyes and hearts, but no court!"

"Yes! The second thing I said is this... The matter in southern Xinjiang must be resolved as soon as possible. The sooner the better. It will be too late!"

Rong Quan drank the glass with red eyes and said, "The problem in southern Xinjiang is troublesome. When Agubo invaded, those who believed in religion and did not believe in the court all followed suit and made trouble..."

"But do those people really hate the court? Actually, it's not... except for the foreigners, all the rest here are us mankind. Let me say something to your heart!"

"Although the people in southern Xinjiang live a hard life, they are not oppressed by the court. Our court has not reached out to collect taxes!"

"To be compared, the people in southern Xinjiang live much better than the Han people in the Central Plains, and the tax amount is not that much. The so-called hardship of life is more because the living environment there is just like that..."

"Or might it be that they bully their own people and then take the imperial court as a punching bag!"

"In addition, the whole nation believes in religion but not the court or the saints' words, so when outsiders arouse, they will rebel when their minds get hot!"

"Agubo entered Xinjiang in 1865 in the foreign calendar. It has been five years since then. On the surface, he still has strong power, but from my eyes, his doomsday is not far away!"

"Why? It's because this person is cruel and bloodthirsty, and he is not in line with economic development!"

"What nickname did the British give him? He was called the Central Asian butcher. During his conquest, he would have the consequences of the massacre of the city if he encountered a little resistance!"

"It's not just killing the pagans they said, he killed them like his own people. Any subordinate who dares to question his decision will have only one word death!"

"The people who believe in religion in the tribe are not all fanatical lunatics. Many of them are peace-loving. They suggested to Aguber to let him negotiate with the court..."

"Sign the armistice agreement first, and do business and do people's livelihood... But because of this opinion, how many imams and religious people did Agubo kill?"

"I can't count it! What this madman wants is fighting and killing!"

"Haha... It's been five years, and it's been five years since southern Xinjiang has not connected to the Central Plains. How could it be a miserable situation?"

One word woke up the dreamer, Doro stood up with a whistle, "I only know how to kill but not build, but I only know how to preach but not the economy! Such a regime will not last long!"

"Yes, nothing is wrong... When I was in Ryukyu, I read some textbooks of their college students. There was a business road in it called the business road, which was said to be spoken by the head of state!"

"The Head of State once said that the interests of business and the power of finance are invincible to humans, and anyone who violates these basic rules will soon perish!"

"If Agubo continues to play like this, he will be nowhere near death..."
