Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 26 Compromise

The uneasy mood of the envoys from the Western Regions did not last for a few days. Su Qin and Wang Liao, who received Wufeng's order, soon started arduous and meticulous negotiations with the envoys from the five countries. The situation in each country is also different. Su Qin and Wang Liao divided the negotiation into three stages. At the same time, the troops stationed on the north and south sides of the countries in the Western Regions also accelerated their assembly speed, and even the first batch of Mott cavalry of 20,000 people who were being reorganized also marched into the border area with Loulan Kingdom. Strengthen the deterrence against Loulan.

On March 30, 697 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, the first phase of negotiations between the Northwest and the countries of the Western Regions ended. Envoys from various countries sent urgent notices to their own countries when they learned that the content involved was sensitive and complex and involved many interests, requesting to send a large delegation to participate in this negotiation involving the future direction of each country. Afterwards, a delegation representing the interests of all parties in the country was organized and rushed to Qingyang in the shortest possible time. The high-end hotels in Qingyang City were overcrowded for a while. In this first stage of negotiations, I felt Northwest's firm determination and knew that The other party is unlikely to make concessions on this point. Wusun State signed the treaty first, followed by Gaochang State and Bega State. The envoys of Kuqa and Loulan have not been authorized by their own countries, so they have not been able to make a deal. contract.

On March 27th, the three divisions of the Northern Luzon Army marched into the territory of Kuqa, and the 100,000 troops stationed on the Loulan border in the north went all the way south and defeated many Loulan troops who came to stop them. And completed the siege of Loulan City, that is, at the last moment, the two kings finally compromised and the treaty was signed.

The content of the first phase of negotiations actually only involves two aspects, one is related to the military issues of various countries, and the other is related to the future framework of the Western Region Alliance. On the issue of the army, according to the insistence of the Northwest, the countries in the Western Regions will only retain self-defense troops of 5,000 people as the security guards of each country, and the rest of the troops will select their elites to form a Western Regions United Army. Wan, Loulan Five Thousand, Bega Five Thousand, Kuqa Five Thousand, and Gaochang Five Thousand.

The issue of alliance structure is also a relatively sensitive issue. The countries in the Western Regions used to have a loose political organization called the Western Regions Alliance, but this organization was only in form. The name of the organization has not become a substantive organization, let alone an executive body, and Wufeng’s idea is to continue to use the name of this organization, make it substantive, greatly expand its power, and establish the executive body of the alliance——Alliance Government Affairs The Administration has one director and one deputy director. The Government Affairs Administration consists of the Government Affairs Department, the Finance Department, the Internal Affairs Department, and the Trade Department, which are responsible for the specific government affairs of the alliance. This point has also caused some disputes among the countries, but after the Northwest side stated that there is no room for negotiation on this point, and also requested that the countries also gradually implement reforms within the existing framework to follow the government structure of the Northwest prefectures, so that it To better reflect the development of democracy, the focus of debate among the representatives of various countries is more concentrated on the distribution of positions in the Union's administrative affairs department.

Wufeng Wei'an's figure was drawn into a long shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, and several people following him walked silently in the central garden of Qingyang. A municipal building built on the anniversary, a row of marble reliefs depicting the tragic situation of the war was placed in the center of the garden. Behind the reliefs was a bronze statue. It is fully displayed, especially the vivid expression on the soldier's face is even more exciting. The whole statue is set off so vividly that it makes an exception for the military generals, especially the old Northwest Army who followed Wufeng to participate in the **** battle a few years ago. Lun applauded the move.

"Su Qin, since the first stage of the treaty has been signed, I think the second stage must follow up immediately and strike while the iron is hot. Now almost all the representatives of the aristocratic forces from the countries of the Western Regions have accompanied the delegation to Qingyang. The content of the first phase of the negotiation is not very interesting. What they are most interested in is the details involved in the second phase. During this period of time, you and Wang Liao should contact more representatives of various forces and find some supporters for us in the Northwest. , Xiao Tang, you can also attend more liaison banquets or receptions, I think Su Qin and Wang Liao may not be too busy." While watching the relief, Wu Feng continued without looking back.

Several people behind nodded and said yes, the first phase of the agreement has been signed, after countless discussions, arguments, quarrels and even threats and intimidation, accompanied by a series of compromises and concessions, the first phase of the task is finally basic It's done, which has already made Suqin and Wang Liao feel exhausted, but as the boss said, the arduous work has just begun, and the second stage of negotiation is the most important thing. The first stage of negotiation It was just a prelude. Many people's concessions in the first stage were to obtain more benefits in the second stage of negotiations, and Su Qin and Wang Liao had to go against their will in order to make the other party make concessions in the first stage of negotiations. They made all kinds of wishes and promises to those people.

"Tian Fang, I'm afraid you will have to go to the countries of the Western Regions to inspect and supervise the implementation of our garrisons in the countries. In addition, you may have to cooperate with He Lianbo and the others in the formation of the Western Regions United Army. Discuss more, be sure to pull up the framework in a short time, don't give the countries too much time to prepare, if it is not possible, you can directly draw from the existing armies of the countries, but be careful not to focus too much on One of the establishments is selected, and they are strictly supervised to disband the army according to the timetable. This point cannot be vague in the slightest, lest some people want to be whimsical again."

"My lord, the Wusun army is easy to handle and can be drawn directly from Huyanqiu's guard army, but the armies of other countries may still need more and more detailed information from the intelligence department, Lord Su and Lord Wang. The United Army is our future military foundation in the Western Regions, we must not allow those with ulterior motives to take advantage of it." While Ling Tianfang agreed, he also put forward his own views.

"Well, go and ask Linghuyi to provide you with some information. He has been preparing for a while, I believe he should also gain something. Su Qin and Wang Liao can also provide you with some information that you have. "Wu Feng turned his head and said, "Now the situation in the Western Regions has reached the most critical step. We must be cautious in the next stage of negotiations. This is related to the interests of our Northwest in the Western Regions in the future. We can neither allow the Western Regions to twist together. But we must also prevent the tribes of the Western Regions from being overly weakened. That would put too much burden on us. Fortunately, the first stage has laid a good foundation for us, and the interests of the nobles of various tribes are not consistent. We only need to hold on to this principle, which is to let the nobles taste the sweetness as much as possible in terms of economic interests, even if they suffer some losses right now, but we cannot make any principled concessions when it comes to state power. Our intentions are determined. As long as we firmly grasp this point, I think even if there are so many people who are unwilling to fail, they will not be able to make any waves."

While Wufeng and his group were talking about the second phase of the plan, two men in the outskirts of the city also drove their horses along the path beside the west-going commercial road. The soldering iron gradually fell down.

"Master Saibo, we haven't seen each other for some years, right?" The slightly older middle-aged man covered his head with a white scarf, and his neat off-white robe rippled with the heaving footsteps of the horse under his crotch.

"Well, Mr. Abhiyev, the last time we met was four years ago at the Loulan Palace, right? Thanks to your kind hospitality at that time, the hand-caught lamb meat from the royal chef of your palace is indeed well-deserved~IndoMTL.com~ Let I can’t forget it to this day, and I haven’t tasted such a delicacy for many years.” The man who answered was thin and full of energy.

"I'm very sorry about your Highness Cesna and Said. Although I didn't agree with my lord's idea at the time, I didn't firmly oppose it. Fortunately, the ending of the matter is not too big. Twists and turns." The older, middle-aged man is naturally Abhiyev, the Minister of State of the Loulan Kingdom, and Saibo, the Minister of State of the Wusun Kingdom, originally belonged to a noble family in Loulan. After the signing was completed, he took the initiative to invite Saibo to take a trip out of the city, and the other party readily accepted the invitation.

"Oh, the past is in the past, you and I are just in our own place, and we can't blame you." Saibo smiled and met the other party's apologetic eyes, and he smiled a little bit when he met each other. The taste of enmity.

"It's good that you don't mind. If there were no things in the past, how could we have made today's agreement?" Abhiyev looked at the red sun with some emotion, "Everything is like a fleeting cloud, a fleeting moment, and a fleeting moment." Gone."

Saibo felt the sadness of the other party. He understood somewhat, but not completely, so he could only ask vaguely: "Master Abhiyev, you seem to have something on your mind? Now that the first phase of negotiations has ended, the Northwest Army You have also avoided a **** battle with your country, you should breathe a sigh of relief and take a rest, your body still needs attention."

"Hehe, negotiation?" Abhiyev smiled wryly, "Master Saibo, this first stage of negotiation is so difficult, so you didn't notice that the representatives from various countries, including you and ours, worked hard for their respective Are the interests of the group already in constant struggle? Then what will happen in the second stage.”
