After enjoying the royal family of the Western Xia and the daughter of the royal family, Li Yan rewarded him on his merits.

First, Li Yan rewarded Ren Dejing and promoted Ren Dejing to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. He also clearly allowed Ren Dejing to participate in this year's imperial examination to select talents for the national selection. In addition to promoting Ren Dejing to get into real power, Li Yan also rewarded Ren Decong and Ren Degong as appropriate.

The three Ren brothers actually have the ability, otherwise they would not have forced the Li family of Xixia to give up half of the Xixia as a foreign surname.

It is also a waste to not use the abilities of the three Ren brothers, so Li Yan took this opportunity to transfer them to some positions that could exert their abilities, so that they could also contribute to the construction of Dazhong.

Of course, Li Yan will also defend against what should be defended.

but--

Having said that, there is no need for this. As long as the Ren brothers are not allowed to find military power and they are not allowed to become the power center of the prime ministers entering Dazhong, they will never be able to cause trouble.

In fact, it is not just Ren Dejing, but also to others. As long as Li Yan does not listen to and believe in it, and does not concentrate power on the hands of a few people, no one can shake Li Yan's territory.

A few months later, Wu Jie and Zhang Xian completely pacified Xixia.

The Privy Council then re-arranged the western region, the center of gravity of the Western Army moved westward, the defense scope of the fifth largest military region expanded, and Wu Jie also left Shu to take charge of Ningxia, responsible for all military affairs in the western region.

In addition, Li Yan transferred his adopted son Li Zong back and asked him to replace Wu Jie in Shu.

By the way, the adopted sons who made great contributions to Li Yan's battle, such as Li Chou, Li Qi, Li Hu, Li Meng, Li Zong, Li Xiao, Li Sheng, and Li Yan each married a daughter to them, confirming their father-son relationship, which can be regarded as commending them for the blood and sweat shed for Dazhong. Among them, Li Zong married Li Yanshu's eldest daughter, one of Li Yan's most important children.

The White Army grew up with Li Zong's hands, and it can also be said that Li Zong was built by Li Yan.

Later, in order to give Li Zong a better development, Li Yan led a single man and let Li Zong stay in the most important Strait of Malacca.

So, Li Zong is definitely one of the people Li Yan trusts the most.

Of course, Li Zong is worthy of Li Yan's trust in him. Whether he was the leader of Li Yan's personal army or later guarding Li Yan's most important Malacca, Li Zong did a great job and did not disappoint Li Yan's trust in him at all.

Therefore, the Western Army and Wu Jie moved westward, and Li Yancai promoted Li Zong to deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Military Region and transferred Li Zong to take charge of Shu.

After the Western Xia recovered, Li Yan officially promulgated the Five Capitals System.

Li Yan changed Yanjing to Zhongjing, Chang'an to Xijing, Jinling to Nanjing, and Seoul to Tokyo.

As for Beijing, Li Yan has not set it up for the time being, but in Li Yan's mind, Beijing is actually the Liao Shangjing, which is now the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Li Yan was preparing to define Liao Shangjing as Beijing, so he naturally targeted the grassland kingdoms and tribes in the Northeastern Great Jin and the central and eastern Mongolian Plateau, because Liao Shangjing is the most suitable place to control these areas (this was proved by the Liao Dynasty). In addition, Li Yan was not planning to leave the vast Siberia with abundant resources to the future Russia, and to define Liao Shangjing as Beijing, it could barely radiate to the entire Siberia.

There are many people who can guess the best, and in addition, Li Yan's thoughts are not difficult to figure out.

Let’s not talk about Li Yan’s four generals, including the East, West, and South, but Beijing has not.

It is only said that since the recaptured Xixia of Dazhong, the border problems faced by Dazhong have only been the Jin and Mongolian tribes in the north (mainly the northeast), the Western Regions and the Tubo region in the southwest.

The best solution to these three border problems is Tubo in the southwest.

First of all, the former powerful Tubo Empire has long declined and has even been dispersed into several forces. These Tubo forces have been fighting each other continuously, even to the end of the day. On the other hand, Dazhong, whether it is financial resources, population, or army, are unprecedentedly powerful. Therefore, as one rises and the other falls, it should not be difficult to completely solve the problem of Tubo’s border problems.

However, the Tubo people have always been more restrained and dared not harass the border of Dazhong. In addition, the Tubo area is poor and has little use to make it. The most important thing is that Dazhong still cannot take action to deal with Tubo, so he allowed Tubo to let the Tubo people be free for a while.

Apart from Tubo, the second best border trouble to be solved is the countries in the Western Regions.

The situation in the Western Regions is quite complicated and has many forces. The key is that it is too far from the Central Plains region, which should be difficult to solve.

But at first, the expeditionary army led by Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others had already made a western expedition two years ago. And according to the news from Yue Fei and the others, the expeditionary army achieved remarkable results - a year ago, the expeditionary army successively destroyed the Taichiwu tribe, the Merqi tribe, the Naiman tribe (just defeated, but not completely defeated) and other grassland tribes, and then entered the Western Regions. Then they met with the Zheyanzhi tribe sent by Zhang Xian at the Mangshukou and received supplies. At the suggestion of Yelu Dashi brought by Zheyanzhi, the expeditionary army arrived at Yemili and established there.

A small city was named "Dingyuan City" (the water and grass are abundant, the climate is cool, and it is suitable for grazing. The most important thing is that it is not too far from Longyou area, especially Yumen Pass. If Dazhong sends a large army to escort, it can provide supplies to the small city. What's more important is that with this small city, the expeditionary army will no longer be rootless duckweed). After that, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others recruited nearby Turkic tribes, promising them to become citizens of Dazhong and not only trade with Dazhong to obtain the food and life they need.

Supplies, you can move to a rich and prosperous life in the future. The local Turkic tribes surrendered to the expeditionary force. As a result, Dingyuan City became larger and larger, and now it has become one of the largest cities in the Western Regions. From the mouths of the local Turkic nomads, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others learned that the Karakhan Dynasty was also in internal and external troubles. Therefore, Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others decided to continue to expand westward through the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom, but the Uighur king of Gaochang Uighurs hesitated at the time. Yue Fei immediately decided to face the city. Gaochang Uighurs did not dare to compete, so they could only open the city to surrender.

The Uighur King welcomed Yue Fei and Ma Kuo into the palace for a banquet for three days. Then the Uighur King said that Gaochang Uighurs were willing to surrender to Dazhong. Not only did he send all his three princesses to Dazhong to present to Li Yan, but he also expressed his willingness to send his children and grandchildren. When the Expeditionary Force left, he kept sending Yue Fei, Ma Kuo and others and the Expeditionary Force to the country, and sent two thousand war horses, three hundred camels and ten thousand sheep. The Expeditionary Force continued to go west, preparing to cross the Tianshan Mountains to fight against the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty... In other words, the Expeditionary Force's Western Expedition has been very smooth so far.

Secondly, the Gaochang Uighurs, the largest power in the Western Regions, has expressed their willingness to surrender to Dazhong, and has made a statement that the remaining small forces are actually not worthy of fear.

Third, after Dazhong destroyed Xixia, Dingyuan City could be connected through Longyou and Hexi Corridors. In this way, Dazhong's tentacles had entered the Western Regions.

Therefore, it will not take long to completely solve the border problems in the Western Regions.

Nowadays, only the Great Jin Dynasty in the Northeast and the Mongolian tribes in the central and eastern Mongolian Plateau are the biggest concerns of Li Yan!
