Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first

The summer in 704 was a bit sweltering. Although this weather was quite favorable for autumn grain, the rain that wasn’t an eruption was strong but short-lived. The overhaul of water conservancy facilities across the empire that began in 702 played a very good role. , several large granaries in the empire, from Wuhu County to South Indian County, from Yuejing County to Wa County, Xiaochun has ushered in a rare bumper harvest, and seeing that Dachun grain will usher in another bumper harvest , the entire empire was immersed in an unspeakable joy.

It has been more than a year since the truce, and the empire has finally gained a respite. Whether it is the people, businessmen or courtiers and gentry, they all expect this peaceful development to last longer, although in Liberia and There are still some dissatisfied forces operating secretly in the Maqihan area, but the public rebellion activities have been extinguished. As for the secret activities, it is the matter of the Imperial Security Bureau. The Imperial Security Bureau has listed these two places as key control areas. A large number of elite forces of the Imperial Security Bureau are working in these two regions, and even later all the novices of the Imperial Security Bureau use this as a training ground to improve their ability level, so that the later important members of the Imperial Security Bureau Almost all of the top executives had experience working in the Liberia region or the Maqihan region, which had become a very honorable qualification for entering the upper echelons of the Imperial Security Bureau.

On the contrary, Wadi, which was finally pacified, seemed much calmer. After a large number of Japanese soldiers were forcibly exiled, the rebel forces in Wadi suffered a heavy blow and lost their basic support. The rebel forces in Wodi were quickly cut off by the Imperial Security Bureau and several other pro-imperial family forces. The establishment of Wojun marked that this overseas enclave finally completely crawled under the wings of the empire.

In addition to constantly improving the law, the empire also actively promoted economic development and foreign trade. In early 704, the empire formally signed a peace, friendship and cooperation agreement with the Triple Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance, and signed this political agreement at the same time There is also an agreement to establish the Eastern Continental Free Trade Area. This agreement stipulates that the three parties will gradually reduce their respective tariffs within ten years. In order to facilitate the free circulation of goods from the three parties, the tripartite economy can establish closer ties.

At the same time, the empire also signed a peace armistice agreement with the Western Peninsula Alliance, stipulating that the two sides will have an unconditional and unlimited ceasefire on the current actual control line, and negotiate the determination of the border line and the positioning of diplomatic relations between the two sides in a timely manner. In order to maintain peace and stability in this region, this negotiation has also received active promotion and support from the Kingdom of Sioran.

Wu Feng propped his hand under his chin thoughtfully, and slowly fiddled with the documents on the imperial case. The documents of the foreign ministry are especially frequent these days, and the negotiations with the Western Peninsula Alliance have entered a substantive stage. The issue of the sovereignty of a deserted island 550 nautical miles west of Sikkim has always been a point of contention between the two sides, although it has not been developed before. However, due to the increasing importance of the New World.

This was originally a small island that was in dispute between Sikkim and the Western Peninsula Alliance. It is important to the Western Peninsula Alliance, but it is even more indispensable to the empire. This small island with an area of ​​nearly 60 square kilometers Suspended alone in the middle of the Latin Ocean, the most important point is that there are not only rich forest resources, but especially abundant fresh water resources. The spring water originating from the mountains in the middle of the island even formed a huge freshwater lake, which was simply a natural supply station for the empire on its way to the New World.

From Sikkim to Mangadisha and Assab and Lilac Islands further south, this island can be used as a relay station and supply station, although it is not in the way to Assab and Lilac Islands and Manga in the south-central New World It is on the straight route of Disha, but it is in the middle of two routes, and both routes can pass here. The detour distance is not far, and obtaining supplies here can greatly reduce the risk and pressure of long-distance voyages. Both commercially and militarily. For the empire, this island is far beyond any island controlled by the empire in the Southern Ocean and the Latin Ocean. Therefore, when the empire negotiated with the Western Peninsula Alliance, it would never let go of the sovereignty of this island, and was even willing to use it on land. made considerable concessions.

Because of this marathon negotiation, the Western Peninsula Alliance had to make concessions under the pressure of the Kingdom of Sioran. In the end, the ownership of this island fell to the empire. This is a very important moment in the history of the empire's diplomacy It ensures that the empire can have a relatively stable and safe route to the New World. For this reason, Wufeng even specifically suppressed Cui Wenxiu's plan to conquer Nanmeili. He is unwilling to be angered at this time Cioran, resulting in the failure of this negotiation.

The victory of this diplomatic negotiation made Wu Feng very satisfied with the work effect of the diplomatic department. But the further intensification of the struggle in the New World destroyed Wufeng's good mood.

"Why, are the Famini people unable to hold on anymore?" The faint smile on the corner of Wufeng's mouth is always puzzling. When waiting for the throne, some novices who were still at a loss turned into seasoned and prudent masters. The increasing majesty made Wufeng's amiable image in the past gradually fade away. This is the aura of imperial power. Subconsciously deified him, accepting his coercion consciously or unconsciously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Famini people have not responded much yet, but the special envoys of the foreign affairs department have sent back news that the Leeds are determined this time to force the Famini people to withdraw from the agreement with us. They even did not hesitate to use some regional interests in the New World as bait to lure the Barozi and Augsburg people into the bait, and the small city republics along the Adriatic Sea coast were also pulled onto the boat by them. The people of Minnie may not be able to withstand such a huge pressure, not to mention the people of Leeds have given them an equally generous wish.”

Wang Liao's expression was ugly. Winning over and disintegrating the powers of the Western Continent has always been a key task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it has indeed achieved quite good results in the early stage. The Famini people have been successfully divided. In order to meet the needs of their interests and status on the western continent, the Famini people have always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Leeds' attempts to meddle in and influence the strategic pattern of the western continent. The Hansen League is the Leeds' Potential allies, and now the Barozi people seem to have restored the old good posture with the Leeds people.

It is reasonable to say that the Minis are unlikely to form an alliance with the Leeds, but this time it seems that the faction among the Leeds who wants to form an alliance with the Faminis against the Empire has the upper hand. Vested in the interests of the New World. The rich mineral resources in the New World are enough to bring endless wealth to the kingdoms that are increasingly scarce in domestic resources. This has been fully proved by a series of gold mines discovered in the coastal areas. Local products such as ivory, rhino horn and agate amber have also sparked a wave of enthusiasm on the Western Great Road. There was a frenzy of consumption of luxury goods, and there were treasures everywhere in the land of the New World, especially the gold mines and slave trade attracted a large number of aristocratic merchants who had privileges in Leeds. Facing the vast hinterland of the New World, they eagerly hope to participate in the ranks of carve up this area.

But this action is still difficult for the Leeds, whose strength on land was originally inferior to that on the sea. It is a last resort to bring the Famini Empire, which is the most powerful on land, into the camp, otherwise it will only rely on Barrow The two countries are not enough to shake the position of the Tang Empire in this land, and the Augsburg people are obviously still entangled with the Hansen League. If you want to reconcile the Augsburg people and the Hansen League It will take some time for the battle of spirits among them, not to mention that the Augsburgers also have a great appetite in the New World. Although their strength is not as good as that of the Faminis, due to the rapid development of the domestic economy, the demand for land, markets and resources It is advancing by leaps and bounds, which makes Leeds people a headache.

But even if the Leeds are willing to compromise on this aspect~IndoMTL.com~ time is no longer on the Leeds side, the Leeds can't wait any longer, if it drags on, I'm afraid the Tang Empire will not leave Leeds There is so much room for strategic development. After completing the voyage around the New World, the people of Datang quickly launched an expansion offensive in the south of the New World. Leeds are distraught.

When the Leeds successfully sailed around the New World for the first time, they discovered that the entire eastern part of the New World had been completely controlled by the Tang Empire. A series of colonial towns were dotted like pearls on the east coast of the New World. The few basic and important islands in the ocean have become the naval bases of the Datang Empire. The Jinpeng flag on the Datang Navy ships is like a red-hot iron braze, piercing the hearts of the Leeds people at any time. And now the southern part of the New World is gradually becoming a colony of the Great Tang Empire. If it doesn't catch up, when the power of the Great Tang Empire penetrates into the interior of the New World, I'm afraid there will be no chance for other forces to intervene.

It was the series of circumnavigation and voyages of the Leeds people that greatly stimulated the ambition and fanaticism of the Leeds people. I saw the Great Tang Empire pouring into the New World, and each new colonial point gradually evolved into a colonial town. The geographical location is superior. Colonial towns in good condition are actively developing into colonial cities, and Leeds people have a lot of pressure to sleep well. Jiangshan Meirenzhi Chapter 3 Sweeping Liuhe
