Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 14: Pointing to the South

Although this series of discussions could not immediately determine the political and organizational structure of the area under Li Wufeng's jurisdiction in the future, it also initially outlined a prototype for the so-called Xijiang Protectorate. The idea of ​​forming the council comes from northern Luzon, but it was inspired by the parliaments established by Wufeng when he saw some city republics around the Babylon Sea when he was traveling in the western continent. To establish such a self-restraining organization in the territory of China, but he thinks that it is possible to establish an organization similar to providing decision-making advice for himself and the government. The so-called wide acceptance of wise words and public opinion is probably what it means, at least it can be used This channel has a certain degree of understanding of the concerns and concerns of various classes, although this is not accurate.

However, Wufeng's creative move did not win the support of his ministers at the time. In their view, it is necessary to grasp public opinion, but it is not necessary to use this channel to understand and establish such an institution. It can't have much practical effect on the development of the territory. And even in the eyes of some historians hundreds of years later, Li Wufeng's unconventional creation is just an illusion. From the perspective of the functions and powers of the Senate, it seems that there is no restriction except one. There is no other power that can have a coercive effect on the government. This is purely a display. However, many political scientists and sociologists in later generations greatly praised Li Wufeng's initiative, praising Li Wufeng's measure as a precedent in history, and for the first time in the Eastern Continent, the only area with imperial power, a breath of fresh air was blown. , although this council did not play much substantive role at that time or even for a long time later, it already had a rudimentary form of restricting the power of the government. At least the government needs to listen carefully to the opinions of the people from all walks of life in various regions The problems reflected by the representatives, especially as the number of public opinion representatives and the class groups and interest groups represented became more and more extensive, this effect became more and more obvious.

In Li Wufeng's words, this can at least provide an additional channel to understand public opinion. As for whether public opinion is in the national interest and whether it needs to be implemented immediately, it is up to the decision-maker to make a judgment, and the final decision still remains in the hands of decision makers. This may be Wufeng's original intention.

In view of the fact that the establishment of the Xijiang Protectorate Mansion requires the approval of the imperial central government, the affairs of the six Kansai prefectures can only be maintained as they are before the approval of the imperial central government. A consensus was reached on administrative affairs, and Wang Zongxi became the main operator. The preliminary work for the establishment of the Xijiang Protectorate mainly fell on Su Qin and Wang Zongxi, and Xiao Tang only stayed in Lujiang for three days. It was necessary to set off to return to Qingyang, after all, there was only one Wang Liao left in the northwest to support the overall situation. At this time, Wufeng realized that there are still too few talents under him who can stand alone, it is difficult to conquer the country, and it is even more difficult to sit in the country. It is only now that Wufeng deeply understands this old saying, maybe he should really think about it How to establish a regular mechanism for discovering and recruiting all kinds of talents? The students who are purely trained from Imperial University and Northwestern University are barely qualified for general transactional work, but the talents who can really enter their own core and work for themselves Still too little, this is my own big mistake.

Two guys who looked like businessmen came out of an alley in the northern section of Xinglong Street in Nanfeng Mansion affectionately. Outsiders really thought that they were two business partners, maybe they were going somewhere for leisure, and no one knew that they were strangers a moment ago.

Sitting in the carriage, Link was very calm, thinking about his second mission. As the special envoy of the Northwest Foreign Affairs Department, half of the mission has been completed this time, and the trip to Burma has achieved the expected results. Although the Wen family has won a lot of support from the people in central and southern Myanmar, they are still at a disadvantage in the face of the overwhelmingly superior Tiannan Army. The support of the people cannot replace the gap in military strength. Wang Lianyu still has considerable supporters in the north-central part of Burma, especially in the current situation where the Lang family's military strength is dominant, and almost everyone is not optimistic about the Wen family.

But the Wen family has nowhere to go. Except for the support from the northwest side that he represents, no one seems to be willing to give Wen Na a look. The central region has gradually fallen under the control of the Tiannan Army, and the situation is still going against the Wen family. If there is not enough support, Wen Na may not be able to last until June, just as his boss predicted. For his own visit, Wen Na is eager to see through. Facing the continuous invasion of the Tiannan Army, although Wen Na has tried his best, he still cannot stop the decline. In order to show the strong fighting spirit of the Burmese army, Winner specially let himself visit several camps of the Burmese army. Maybe he is right. The Burmese army is indeed high-spirited, but from logistics supplies to weapons and equipment, there are serious deficiencies. , which directly endangered the combat effectiveness of the army.

Fortunately, my visit finally gave Winner a glimmer of hope in the dark, but it may not be possible to bring the situation in Burma back to life with some financial aid alone. Sending troops is the only way to do this. This is Link's conclusion based on what he has seen and heard in many aspects. He is going to present his views to his superiors after he returns to the Northwest.

Seeing that the temporary companion next to him seemed to be thinking about something, the man in black sitting next to Link did not bother him until Link let out a long sigh of relief, and the man in black smiled and asked Said: "Brother Lin, what are you thinking? Are you worried about today's negotiation?"

"Oh, no, I was wondering whether to go back to the five lakes or go directly to Kansai from Dandong. I heard that Tiannan is currently under strict inspection in Dandong and Zhujiang. I don't want to be a Tiannan person to monitor Now Sanjiang’s threat to Tiannan is obviously not that great, maybe it’s much safer to go to Wuhu from Sanjiang.” Link nodded and smiled, although this ordinary-looking man in black had only been in contact with him for a few days, I don't even know the other party's real name, I only know that the other party's surname is Zhang, but the other party sneaked into Burma with me to contact the Wen family, and now he accompanied me to perform the second mission. After a few days of getting along, Link felt that this Ren is a friend worth making. Although he and I belong to different departments, apart from business affairs, we have also established a good personal relationship.

"Hehe, it's not as serious as Brother Lin imagined. Tiannan's morale has dropped a lot since he was kicked out of Kansai. The two northern governments have been worried that the higher-ups will use troops against them, so stricter inspections in the north are fine. I understand, but business trips are not prohibited, and I guess they would not dare to do so. Doing so would be a reason for us to take the initiative to use soldiers." The man in black laughed loudly, "I don't know if Lord Li really wants to go to the sky Nanyongbing, I really hope that Tiannan can be solved sooner. Now Tiannan has declined to the lowest point. Compared with previous years, the difference is unreasonable. I have stayed in Tiannan for several years, and I am tired of it. I want to change the environment, if we can go south to Tiannan, I don't have to stay here."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, aren't you afraid that the new environment will be more dangerous in your profession? Why are you still so keen on this profession?" Link asked in surprise. He knew that the intelligence department had a relatively large turnover of people. Unless they were senior intelligence personnel with deep connections in one place, they would usually have to change their environment in a few years to prevent exposure.

"Haha, Brother Lin, every other business is like a mountain. Although the intelligence department is very risky, it is not the narrow escape you imagined~IndoMTL.com~ Then there is no return. I am adventurous by nature, and I like To meet new friends, so I prefer to go outside, even if the risk is greater, this may be a major pursuit in life." The man in black showed a rare longing look on his face, "I heard that Indiana and The local conditions and customs in Luzon are very different from those in the empire, and I am really looking forward to hearing some colleagues who are performing missions there come back and boast amazingly."

"Well, I hope Brother Zhang can achieve what he wants." Seeing that the other party is unwilling to discuss his work in depth, Link also knows that this is the special decision of the other party's work, so he doesn't ask any more questions, and changes the topic Turning to this mission: "Brother Zhang, can the person I'm going to meet this time play a decisive role in the Mao and Shahe tribes?"

"It should be able to play a decisive role. These two men are currently serving as the captains of the Tiannan Army, and they are the sons of the patriarchs in their respective clans. The reason why Lang Yongquan formed the minority army at that time was because He made a gesture to ease ethnic conflicts, on the other hand, he also wanted to take a group of hostages in his own hands, especially now that the Wen family in Burma has rebelled, and Lang Yongquan is more suspicious of these ethnic minorities, so he only keeps them in Tiannan They are stationed in this county, they are not allowed to communicate with the outside world at all, and they still keep a considerable amount of military surveillance, and their situation is also very difficult, and this time they met with painstaking efforts to find a suitable excuse." The man in black talked about work and his expression changed. Be more cautious.

"You won't startle the snake, will you?" Link was a little worried.

"No, we have been planning this meeting for a long time. The people who monitor them have been arranged properly, and a double insurance plan has been arranged. Brother Lin, don't worry, it is not a day or two for us to deal with Tiannan's internal affairs department. It is." The man in black revealed infinite confidence in his light words.
