Zuo Zongtang can be called a strategist. He is not just a soldier and a military strategist who can fight. Only by analyzing problems from an economic and political perspective can he be called a strategist, which is what the ancients called famous officials!

The problem in the Western Regions is definitely not simply rebellion and suppression. It will destroy Aguba and be peaceful for a short time. If the political and economic structure of this region is not changed, there will be new rebels in the future!

The kind of ruling method in the past was not good, and Xinjiang is not suitable for the ruling method of Tibet and Mongolia!

The Qing Dynasty's rule over the entire empire was actually different. The area outside the pass was the hometown of Manchus, which operated completely according to the system of the military government. Both military and civil affairs were managed by the general!

This system is actually a protected area, which is to deliberately prevent the development outside the pass, leaving a lasting space for Manchus!

The gathering areas of the Han people in the Central Plains adopt the ancient county system of the Central Plains, and it is fine without reforming it as it is.

Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet, including a small number of southwestern mountainous areas, rely on local autonomy!

The chieftains, Mongolian palaces, living Buddhas, lords, and various khan kings of all sizes... These peoples and local emperors with different ethnic groups and different names were given great autonomy. The Qing Dynasty gave great autonomy rights!

As long as you admit that the territory is from the Qing Dynasty, I will not charge you taxes. You will symbolically pay some gold, silver utensils, jade, jewelry, and even cattle, sheep and horses every year!

Acknowledge that they are all the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and then pay tribute appropriately. You can take care of all the remaining things yourself!

This dominance model has stabilized the frontier to a certain extent, but has also laid hidden dangers to a certain extent!

The chieftains in the southwest region have been rebelling from Yongzheng to Kangxi, forcing the Qing Dynasty to rebel. During the Qianlong period, the conquering Jinchuan and Jinchuan became a mess.

It was even more amazing when it arrived in the Western Regions. The continuous rebellion never stopped. This time, Aguber was the most serious of all rebellions and the most harmful ones!

This policy of autonomy is relatively stable in Tibet and Mongolia. Needless to say, Mongolia is a community of interests with the Manchus, and it has been almost integrated for two hundred years.

Tibet has become a Buddha's country and cannot be judged by secular thinking!

Zuo Zongtang thought for a long time and decided that Xinjiang must change its rule model and cannot do anything big. It must be managed directly by the court!

Guan Lu and Doro fought with the army in the Western Regions for several years, and were much familiar with the mountains, rivers, customs and people here. When they heard the general's plan, they couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's difficult! The people in the Western Regions are different from our religion. They don't know the language and don't understand Chinese characters... In the past, there was no way to let them Khan manage themselves..."

"Once we establish a province, these people will definitely not adapt! They will think that we are outsiders and invaders..."

"They are hungry for the time being and cannot survive and have to rely on us. It's easy, maybe they won't cause trouble... But what if they're after a few years?"

"When they are full and drink and have their scars recovered, they will definitely not be convinced by our government!"

Zuo Zongtang nodded, "Yes... without a hundred years of running-in, it cannot be integrated together, so... I plan to leave all these 100,000 brothers in the Western Regions..."

"I won't let them... go back to their hometown!"

Ah! The chopsticks and cups in Duolu and Guan Lu rolled onto the table, and both of them were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. "Masterman is serious? These brothers have not returned to their hometowns?"

"Is this...this will I always guard the border? Oh my God..."

Zuo Zongtang burst into tears, "Oh... this is their life! When he was young, he grew hair and caused chaos, his hometown was destroyed, and there were no relatives in his hometown!"

"I have been fighting with Changmao for so many years, and my youth is deserted and I have no skills. I can't farm or do craftsmanship. They can't do anything except joining the army and eating food..."

"Where is my hometown? Wherever I fall, I am my hometown! What can I do when I go back? It's just that I am lonely and have no relatives and no family to accompany me..."

"It's better for the brothers to gather together... just guard the border!"

"After you go back to the capital, tell Your Majesty... you just say that... Don't worry that I, Zuo Jigao, will rebel. After the Western Regions are pacified, I, Zuo Jigao, will go back to the capital alone!"

"Die in the capital even if I die! These old brothers of mine are all staying on the border of the desert and guarding the border for the court... Haha... what threats are there? What else can we do to rebel?"

"I am just asking for the Emperor and the court... I can remember the good things about my army in the Western Expedition... Just don't deduct them from money and food in the future!"

"Give them a good ending!"

At this moment, Doro and Guan Lu could not suppress their emotions, and tears burst into tears in their eyes. "Master, don't worry, we will bring the words to Long Live the Lord, and bring the Master's loyalty to the Emperor!"

The three of them wiped their tears very much. Zuo Zongtang continued, "There is a third thing. Please tell Your Majesty that you must not be soft on Tsarist Russia! I will fight Agubo slowly in the farming field. In fact, I have accumulated strength and prepared to recover the Ili River Valley in the future!"

"Agubo is not a poisonous root, the Rakshasa ghost is the biggest disaster! Even if my life is ruined here, Ili River Valley must not be lost!"

Doro and Guan Lu left Dihua, took away the guards they crossed Central Asia, passed through Xingxing Gorge and entered Jiayuguan, and headed towards the Central Plains of Lanzhou!

Doro and the others brought the imperial envoy and the commander of the general, and they could mobilize the best postal resources along the way. It would take two months to return to the capital for a quick horse to change. It was already late autumn!

While Zuo Jigao, who was in Dihua, expressed his loyalty to Emperor Tongzhi, he also secretly contacted Xiao Letian. These telegrams eventually became top secrets and were not made public until after the 80-year ban period. At that moment, people realized that the Western Regions had actually been sold to the Chinese people by Zuo Zongtang.

Director Wang personally sent Xiao Letian one letter after another of the top secrets in the Western Regions. After reading it, the head of state scratched his head, "Oh... Lao Wang, look, look at Zuo Jigao, this is a lion's mouth!"

"I understand that I told me in the telegram that I want him to fight with the Rakshasa ghost, so I will transport him four hundred cannons!"

"Crazy! It's simply crazy... Prussia didn't use so many cannons to fight the French! He now has more than three hundred doors, so four hundred more?"

"Seven hundred eight-eight fast cannons? Is he going to dominate Central Asia and establish his own country?"
