Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 33 The Empire Strikes Back

Shaking her head weakly, although Situ Yushuang's face was a bit lonely and desolate, her eyes revealed her persistence, which seemed more like a kind of faith supporting her.

"Sister, the situation has come to this point, why are you bothering? You have done everything you can, no matter what kind of solution, you can proudly stand up and say that you have a clear conscience , it is up to people to plan, and it is up to God to make things happen. Some things cannot be restored by hard work alone. Just like when the Jamero Kingdom was destroyed by the Machihans, it is not anyone who can turn things around, and many things go with the flow Maybe it's much better." Sophia didn't want this elder sister, who seemed to her to be almost paranoid, to go down a road of no return. She was worried that the other party's wishes and ideas would not be able to accept such a blow if they failed in the end. As a heart-to-heart Sister, she can't just watch the other party come to this point.

"Sister, if you don't do some things, how can you know success or failure? If I do it and fail, then I won't have any regrets, and my heart will be much more peaceful. You don't have to persuade me anymore, I know What are you doing?" Situ Yushuang looked so calm and clear at this moment, without the slightest anger or impulsiveness, in Sophia's eyes, except for a little more worry, she really couldn't persuade her any more.

"Sister, what are you going to do now? Li Wufeng has now controlled Jinzhong, and he no longer has any worries. With his military strength, the empire can no longer stand alone against him. This meeting of kings Is there any point in driving it?"

"Of course, military means can't solve him. We have other means. Since he has come to the imperial capital, how can we let him slip away so easily? Didn't he also want to use this opportunity to win over and divide the parties in the empire? Strength? I will do as he wishes, and let him perform all kinds of conspiracies in this imperial capital." Situ Yushuang already gritted her teeth when she said the word conspiracy, obviously Li Wufeng gave her such a beautiful hand in the Jinzhong Incident Learned an unforgettable lesson.

Sophia could hear the reluctance in the other party's words, but she couldn't imagine what the other means in the other party's words were. She didn't understand the dark methods very well, but she could vaguely feel the terrifying killing intent in the other party's words.

Facing Xijiang's aggressive offensive, Situ Yushuang, He Lu and others did not respond negatively, and quickly counterattacked.

The attitude of "Daily Express" was reversed on the third day after the Jinzhong Incident. An article "Where did the name of Xijiang come from?" "Detailedly describes Li Wufeng's ambitions after he took office as the military and political governor of Kansai and Northwest China, from the fall of Tiannan County and Myanmar to the actual takeover of Beiyuan and Heshuo counties, and various expansions outside the empire. , the style of the article is sharp and the words are fierce, pointing out that Xijiang, as a foreign vassal of the empire, controls half of the empire's territory. Now that the foreign aggression has disappeared, it still controls Tiannan, Burma, and Beiyuan, which should be directly controlled by the imperial center. The four counties of Heshuo, especially the two counties of Beiyuan and Heshuo were in the hinterland of the Central Plains and had nothing to do with Xijiang. Xijiang took advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the Taiping Army and resist the invasion of the Kamans to recover the land. It should have been handed over to the The empire is under unified management, but Xijiang has delayed or even refused to return it with various excuses, and now it has directly extended its sphere of influence to the important areas of Gyeonggi. The contempt for the empire is best described by the word "big tail".

The comments of thousands of words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial capital. For a while, there were many echoes. There are some proposals to take back the administrative jurisdiction of the four counties, and there are also suggestions that Xijiang should be handed over to Beiyuan and Heshuo under the guise of reasonable adjustments based on the actual situation, while Tiannan and Myanmar counties should be managed by the Xijiang Dadu Protectorate. Not one and the same. Many conservative forces in the imperial capital spoke more fiercely, directly denouncing Li Wufeng's wolfish ambition to carry out the actions of the new dynasty Han in the past, and demanded that the imperial center take a strong response and resolutely take back the administrative jurisdiction of the four counties.

At the same time, "Peking Morning Post", the largest newspaper in the north, also published a signed article "On the Legitimacy and Rationality of the Dadu Protectorate", which expounded the harm of the Dadu Protectorate system to the peace of the empire from a legal perspective. The article is at the end It is proposed to abolish the Dadu Protectorate, restore the county guard system in the interior, and adopt the Jiedushi system at the border according to the situation. No more than two legions of regular troops, trying to develop the economy.

For a time, peace, disarmament, and economic development became the most popular words in the empire, and the media in the imperial capital expounded the importance of peace and economic development in the empire at present. Several princes who will meet.
