Although these local countries and their strength are dominated by the Middle Kingdom, they have actually been in a state of autonomy, and their control is far inferior to that of the Central Plains.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the forces in the Western Regions will be at both ends.
When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong and prosperous, they attached themselves one after another. Once the Central Plains Dynasty fell into weakness due to internal strife, they began to be in harmony with each other, and to obey the Yang.
This situation must be improved.
During the Han Dynasty, there was not enough national strength and energy.Manpower and the right time and place, so we can only choose this semi-dominant and semi-autonomous state.
However, after hundreds of years of development, and through the management of the Western Regions by Ban Chao and other great people, the status of the Central Plains Dynasty in the Western Regions is now getting stronger and stronger, and the premise of incorporating the Western Regions has already been established from the overall environment.
The most important thing is that the productivity of the Great Wei broke out, and there was a national policy of opening up to the outside world and spreading national power.
Therefore, Cao Ang has always advocated increasing the development and control of the Western Regions.
Now is the time.
Cao Cao asked: "The entanglement of various forces in the Western Regions is very complicated. This is not an easy task. Who can be up to the task?"
Cao Ang said: "This matter is of great importance, Zixiu can go there in person."
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly: "What? You go there in person? Wouldn't this be too much, your majestic prince..."
Guo Jia expressed support for this.
"Your Majesty, His Highness is the prince, also known as Zhentianxia and Vegahainei, so he is more suitable for this task. This can not only show that the imperial court attaches great importance to the people of the Western Regions, but the name of the prince suppresses the Western Regions, and the parties will not dare to act rashly. .”
That's right, Cao Cao nodded.
Cao Ang's name is enough to deter millions of troops.
Cao Cao hesitated again and again, and finally agreed to the proposal. At the same time, he planned to send a mission. Lu Su, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, would personally lead the mission and carry gifts to the Guishuang Kingdom.
Negotiate first, hoping to solve the problem through diplomatic means, and reduce some external resistance for Cao Ang's governance of the Western Regions.
Of course, if diplomatic means cannot change the status quo, Wei will find a way to force the people of Guishuang to do it first, and then launch a full-scale attack on it to let the people of Guishuang see what it means to be a kingdom of heaven.
In addition, there is one more thing that must be put on the agenda.
Cao Ang planned to send the Western Fleet to the Western Ocean to open up a sea route.
Great Wei's shipbuilding technology and various nautical technologies in naval construction have reached a level beyond that of the Ming Dynasty. The only thing that is lacking today is sailing experience.
Therefore, it is also time for the Western Fleet to play its value. During the process of the Western Fleet going south to the Western Ocean, at least a dozen small countries in Southeast Asia can be found.
If Great Wei can regain these small countries, let them bow their heads to Great Wei, and even contribute resources to Great Wei, it will not only improve local civilization and life, but also allow Great Wei to obtain more powerful raw materials and labor input in the process.
Take, for example, natural rubber, which is one of the most important industrial materials.
This kind of material can hardly be found in China, but in Southeast Asia, rubber trees are everywhere, which are worthless to the local people.
There are many similar situations.
Cao Cao also had this intention long ago, and immediately ordered Zhou Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of the Navy, to start arranging and planning for the Western Fleet to sail to the West.Exploring the route matters.
Two days later, Cao Cao issued an edict, officially announcing a sensational news.
The crown prince Cao Ang left the capital again and went to the Western Regions to govern the area on behalf of the emperor, improve people's livelihood, increase production, and coordinate the relationship between various ethnic groups.
As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation in Luoyang City.
Especially the group of merchants who just received the news that the Western Regions trade route was blocked, seemed a little panicked, each and every one of them seemed to have taken a reassurance.
In China, princes are generally not granted kings or official positions.
Because the prince is the crown prince, he is the biggest among the courtiers, but most of the time the prince's rights are very weak. On the one hand, it is to avoid the situation where father and son compete for power.
However, the prince Cao Ang is completely different from the princes of previous dynasties. He is undoubtedly a unique existence.
Cao Ang was called the "Holy Prince" by the people
There should be no two saints in the world, but Cao Ang can afford this title. His status can be compared with that of Emperor Wei, and his prestige, fame and influence are second only to His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor.
Now, His Majesty has directly handed over the task of governing the Western Regions to Cao Ang. Regarding such a matter and such a situation, Cao Cao is very relieved.
The power in the hands of the prince is also very huge. Not only can he directly mobilize the troops of the military regions in the west, but he can also implement and change all policies and strategies.
Even the transfer of that official is completely possible, and the right to kill first and play later is in the hands of the prince.
The power in the hands of this prince can be said to be a monstrous existence, he can be said to be the king of the Western Regions, and he can even call himself the emperor of the earth.
The emperor of the Great Wei Empire, the dignified son of heaven, gave the crown prince such rights. What does this matter mean?
The first point is that there is a very high degree of trust between the emperor and the prince, and there is even an unreserved feeling.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally possible to appease the minds of the entire city and the entire Chinese people.
This second point can show that the emperor of the Great Wei Empire has already worked hard on the Western Regions.
If you don't pay attention to it, how could you send an existence like the Holy Prince over there?
What this holy prince symbolizes is still very clear in everyone's mind.
Undoubtedly, such a situation is simply great news.
Chapter 737 Performing their duties
Among the Luoyang Stock Exchange, the stocks of the Qiyi Pavilion are now showing an upward trend.
Prior to this, the stock of the Strange Pavilion was affected by bad news, showing a downward trend, which only lasted for a short period of time.
Now that it will rise, it can explain one thing, that is, Luoyang's capital market has begun to exert its strength.
They all saw what Cao Ang did. Under such circumstances, Cao Ang must be able to solve the problem of the trade route.
People living in Luoyang City know very well that the Holy Prince is a man of his word, and according to the habits of the Holy Prince, if this matter is not important, then it is impossible for him to take the initiative to solicit.
If the Holy Prince took the initiative to solicit things, it can only show one thing, that is, this matter is very important, and it is very necessary for the Great Wei Empire.
Regarding the matter of integrating the Western Regions, in Cao Ang's view, it is also very necessary. It is precisely because of this situation that Cao Ang plans to go there in person.
In addition, although Cao Ang lived his life with nothing to do, this kind of life also made him feel a little too boring.
It just so happens that you can take advantage of the rectification of things in the Western Regions, go out to see the scenery, take a look at the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions, and experience life in different places.
After thinking about such a situation, this trip to the Western Regions is also very possible.
The Western Regions is a wonderful place full of mystery and beautiful scenery.
