Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 115 The pattern
When Mengkadi was busy looking for a way to meet Wufeng, the negotiating mission of the Luobei people finally came to Qingyang. The person in charge of the mission is naturally Doni, an old acquaintance of Wufeng a few years ago. After a short meeting with Wufeng, the negotiators of both sides also quickly entered their roles. The crowding of tens of thousands of herdsmen in the central region has brought enormous pressure, and part of the troops who have conquered the south have to gather on the west side of the delineated ceasefire line and assume a defensive posture. Although the people in the Northwest have made clear their desire for ceasefire negotiations, this No one dares to joke about the matter. Once the Northwest Army really forms an alliance with the Chidi people, they suddenly go crazy and attack, and the Luobei people are not prepared. Necessary troops had to be kept on the ceasefire line.
After arranging the negotiation with the Luobei people, Wufeng generously accepted Viscount Moncardi's request and arranged an hour to talk with him. The conversation was very brief. After listening to Viscount Moncardi's reasons again, Wufeng only raised one question, that is, the Northwest can relax the punishment on the Luobei people in order to restrict the Chidi people, but he hopes that the Hansen Alliance can take Show the necessary sincerity to prove their friendliness to the Northwest, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the military that paid a huge price for this battle. After some bargaining, the Viscount Moncardi preliminarily agreed to make some concessions on the Northwest commodity circulation tariff in the alliance after returning to the alliance, and agreed in principle that the Northwest merchants who invest and do business in the Hansen alliance will enjoy the same treatment as the nationals of the Hansen alliance. Of course, these issues can only be implemented after Mr. Viscount returns to the alliance and reports to the alliance authorities. Under the warm invitation of Viscount Moncardi, Wufeng agreed that the Northwest would send a plenipotentiary envoy to visit the Hansen League, and discuss in detail the issues of concern to both parties.
While Viscount Moncardi was busy on his way back to the west, Plovlan also accepted the appointment of Wufeng. The main job is to recruit various talents from the Western Continent for the Northwest, attract investment, and understand the development and changes of the various countries in the Western Continent. Another job that Plovlan likes the most is to represent the Northwest Contact the countries of the Western Continent. As a liaison officer, he can discuss with officials of the Western Continent countries on business, cultural exchanges, etc. to promote the development of exchanges between the two sides, and is authorized to invite political leaders of the Western Continent countries on behalf of the Northwest It is a great honor for Plovran to visit Northwest.
Of course, Plovlan didn't know that Wufeng and the head of the Security Bureau, Diao Su, had a secret conversation with his fiancée. Whether the fiancée of His Majesty's good friend has some kind of romantic relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, but this groundless news cannot be confirmed, and since then, Miss Dreiser has been extremely active in the diplomatic circles of the Western Continent, and her limelight is no less than that of the emperor. As for what her fiancé brought to the Northwest and even the later empire, no one except Wufeng and Diao Su would know.
The negotiations between the Luobei people and the Northwest went very smoothly, and even Doni was surprised by the generosity shown by the Northwest people. Although he also knew that the Northwest didn't want Luo Bei to slump or even collapse, but under such an absolute advantage, no matter who was going to blackmail him, Northwest didn't seem to intend to do so.
Apart from the fact that Qingchuan Haizi and its surrounding areas need to be returned to the Mot people, the Northwest does not seem to intend to occupy this vast land including Wulanji, which makes Doni simply unable to understand, in his memory In the last war, Li Wufeng even gave up the ransom of Luobei captives in order to obtain the land in the northwest corner of Qingyang, but now it is reversed again, such fertile land with rich water and grass like Wulanji is now controlled by the Northwest Now, why are you not interested?
The 70,000 captives of the Luobei people are also the most important negotiation issue. According to common practice, this requires the Luobei people to pay at least 3.5 million imperial gold coins or equivalent materials to redeem them. The Luobei people are simply unbearable, especially in the current state of confrontation with the Chidi people or even small-scale firefights. The consumption of various materials and funds is even more astonishing. How can such a large sum of money be raised to make money? ransom? But these captives are also of great importance to Luo Bei. If the redemption can not only form an army immediately, but also boost morale. If the soldiers who are still fighting hear the news that even the captives are unwilling to redeem, it will be have a very negative impact on morale.
This series of problems troubled Doni, and until the arrival of the other negotiator, Doni still couldn't let go.
Contrary to Doni's expectations, the negotiators on the other side seem to understand the difficulties of the Luobei people now. It can be settled in the form of a loan first, and the Northwest Bank will be responsible for the loan, with an annual interest of 1.5, and the tariff of the northern trade road as a guarantee, which makes Doni very satisfied. Surprisingly good. What surprised Doni even more was that the negotiators headed by Wang Liao even revealed a piece of information, that is, the Northwest government is even willing to provide a guarantee for the Luobei people to provide a certain amount of loans to the Northwest Bank to alleviate the current plight of Luobei. This made Duny even feel whether he was dreaming. One side of the war gave loans to the other, which felt a bit like fantasy. Fortunately, Duni was also calm, and just expressed his gratitude politely, saying that he needed to consider it and report it to the chief before he could give a reply as a way to delay the attack.
Regarding the issue of requisitioning the eastern territory, the Northwest proposed a compromise solution, that is, draw a line 100 miles west of Ulanji, and requisition the eastern part as an undefended area, which still belongs to the Luobei people, but they are not allowed to stay Robbie's army. The Luobei army can only be stationed in the area 200 miles away from Ulanji, and the mobilization of more than 500 troops within 200 miles must notify the Northwest Garrison of Wulanji in advance, and the Northwest Army is only in Ulan A division of garrisons is reserved in a symbolic way, and the fleeing herdsmen can return to their original pastures freely. As the core of the original expropriation of the east, Wulanji will implement a policy of opening up to the northwest. Northwest businessmen are welcome to invest and set up factories in Wulanji, and tax rates will be collected Enjoy the same treatment as the Luobei people.
Doni left with satisfaction and a little doubt. He was very happy with the smooth signing of the contract, but he was also a little worried about the generosity of Northwest. But generally speaking, this negotiation is gratifying. At least he can give a satisfactory answer to the great chief and the nobles who are looking forward to it.
After solving the problem of the Luobei people, it will be the turn of those Tubu people who do not know how to live or die. Letting go of the Luobei people does not mean letting go of the Tubu people who are their accomplices. It didn't help anything, but their performance in this third Northwest War made Wufeng very unhappy. To be honest, Wufeng didn't expect the Tubu people to dare to make such a move at the beginning. He really didn't understand how the leader of the Tubu people could be so stupid that he made a hasty bet without analyzing the situation at all. Since you dare to gamble, you are willing to gamble and admit defeat. I believe Tubu people also understand the gambling motto. If you lose, you need to pay a bet.
The begging of the envoys sent by the Tubu people did not have any effect. Later, Wufeng, Su Qin, Wang Liao and others even refused to meet their envoys again, while "Northwest Star" and "Northern Luzon" The reporters and editors of "Newsletter" were also ingenious under the instruction of the editors, and they listed the benefits that those Tubu people have gained from the economic development of the Northwest in various aspects in the past few years. Ke Yun, the leading reporter of "Northwest Star" In exchange for "sincere support what?" "This rhetorical question with a strong skeptical tone, from the nearly ten-fold increase in the income of the Tubu people in terms of tariffs, to the free support for the culture, education and health infrastructure of the Tubu people in the Northwest~IndoMTL.com~From the road traffic From the construction to the Northwest in the past few years to win over the Tubu people to deal with the Luobei people, the financial and material free aid, the level of detail is so detailed that Wufeng couldn't help but want the Security Bureau to interrogate this guy after reading this report From where and by what means to get such detailed information.
The "Northern Luzon Express" expounds how much the people of the Tubu people have gained from the economic development of the Northwest from the perspective of the increasing frequency and even integration of people-to-people exchanges between the two sides. While people-to-people exchanges between the two sides are getting closer and closer, those upper-class people in Tubu who only know how to grab private interests ignore the interests of the ethnic group and brazenly collude with the Tubu people's long-term enemies, the Luobei people. They need support most in the northwest When they stabbed in the back, they intended to destroy all these hard-won achievements and make the Northwest and Tubu people into incompatible enemies. These acts are heinous.
The power of public opinion is infinite, and the people in the Northwest who were awakened by the public opinion were all filled with righteous indignation, and petitioned the Northwest to severely punish these despicable and shameful traitors. However, no one mentioned the punishment for the instigator of the war. Even Ling Tianfang, the chief staff officer of the Northwest Military Affairs Joint Conference, made an exception in an interview with the Northwest Star, saying that the Northwest can accept the enemy's face-to-face war, but it must not Tolerate those treacherous acts that have obtained countless benefits from the Northwest but betrayed the Northwest and stabbed in the back. Su Qin made a speech in the "Northern Luzon Express". The punishment of the Northwest will be aimed at those few Tubu upper-class nobles who ignore the feelings and interests of the people and the opinions of the majority of the people in the tribe. Most of them support exchanges with the Northwest. For the majority of Tubu people who are integrated and developed, the Northwest policy is still supported as always.
