Hi, could someone help me with translaton of this title, 屯戍西域——新疆建省. I have problme with first two charakters, MDBG shows that means garrison / soldier stationed in some place. (the rest is  Western Regions-Xinjiang Province?),  translating all this doesn't make sense in my language, so i am checking it. 
Thank you for your help

屯戍 in the sense of 'defending' here, stationing soldiers in a remote region of an empire to protect its sovreignty. Here the phrase is defending the 'western regions' and establishing the province of Xinjiang, a process which began in the Qing dynasty. Be aware that the name 新疆 encapsulates this quite neatly, as it literally means 新 'new' 疆 'frontier/border region'.
