Fortunately, the three military leaders Tu Da, Hasian and Besang basically reached a consensus on their opinions, which made the originally precarious situation slightly turn for the better. Although the three of them still had different views in many aspects, at least they had different views on the matter. They all share the same view of relying on the strength of Western Xinjiang to deal with the threats from the Chidi and Anou people. Although the Hansen Alliance also pretends to be ready to intervene in the situation in the Tengger Grassland, the three of them know that it is just a plan. For this form of support, the real influence on the Chidi and An'ou people, especially the An'ou people, still depends on Western Xinjiang, especially the Qiur people who are adjacent to the An'ou people.
Although Tu Da resigned as the commander of Zhengxi, he still had considerable influence among the Luo Bei clan. His full support for Ha Xian made it logical for Ha Xian, who had already established a certain prestige in the military, to take over Zheng Xi. Commander, and Besang successfully took over as the commander-in-chief of the escort army and immediately launched a comprehensive mobilization of the escort army. The escort army, which had been reduced to 300,000 people, was assembled in the shortest time. In addition to the 100,000 troops stationed in the Mobei Valley area, In addition to the guard troops still stationed in place to prepare for the provocation of the Anou people, the remaining 200,000 guard troops were also divided into two groups and stationed at the border area with the Chidi people, forming a defensive posture that acted as horns to each other, and the Eastern Expedition The remaining 200,000 remnants of the army were also reorganized in the suburbs of Barona under the leadership of Hasian. At the same time, more than 100,000 Western Xinjiang Rangers formed an attack group under the leadership of Bayin Zhuo and were stationed near the south. The triangle area of the Indian and Hansen alliances was ready to advance westward at any time to put pressure on the Redis.
The Zhengxi and Zhengnan territories are now also undergoing full mobilization under the command of Huhetai. Preparing to temporarily organize another 150,000 troops, this is already the greatest strength that the Luo Bei clan can muster at the moment. The once prosperous Luo Bei has experienced many wars and defeats, both military strength and morale have fallen to the bottom. , almost everyone, including many people within Luo Bei, are more or less worried about whether the Luo Bei family can survive this difficulty. Many Luobei nobles secretly made up their mind to flee if things went badly.
In order to boost morale, Watt informed a group of nobles that he had reached a memorandum of understanding with Western Xinjiang, and in accordance with the requirements of Western Xinjiang, he notified the middle and lower nobles of this memorandum of understanding to a considerable extent, allowing the openness of this memorandum to ensure that it The validity, seriousness and stability of this memorandum can, to some extent, prolong the life of this memorandum. If you betray this memorandum, it will undoubtedly be a contempt for the signers and acknowledgers of this memorandum, which is enough to make some future attempts Opponents of overturning the memo should think twice before doing so.
The memorandum confirms the strategic alliance between Luobei and Xijiang in the form of a treaty. Xijiang will help Luobei maintain a stable current political system through various means, including force. In the long-term plan, a government loan of 50 million imperial gold coins will be provided to the Luo Bei people within three years to help Luo Bei improve infrastructure construction such as roads, water conservancy and urban construction, and help establish a relatively complete regional national pillar economy. Xijiang will encourage Xijiang businessmen to enter the Luobei territory for economic investment and industrial and commercial development in the form of government guarantees. At the same time, Xijiang will establish a comprehensive college in Barona in the name of donation. Help the ethnic groups in the East Tengger Grassland train local administrative officials and promote the spread of Tanghe culture and art in the Tengger Grassland.
The recent mission stated through secret clauses that Xijiang will immediately provide financial support of 10 million imperial gold coins to Luo Bei, and at the same time send troops to help Luo Bei safeguard territorial sovereignty. Xijiang also promised to use various means to provide support to the Chidi people and The Anou people exerted pressure to force the other party to rule out the possibility of using force to resolve the dispute.
In return, the Luobei people will accept the political affairs supervisors sent by Xijiang without changing the current political system. They will guide the Luobei territory to establish a management system suitable for the nation, especially in the internal affairs system and financial system, following the example of the Western Xinjiang. Xinjiang carries out reforms. The most critical core is the military. The two sides will establish a joint logistics mechanism. The Luobei military force will undergo comprehensive reforms, establish a standing army and reserve system, and gradually abolish the national mobilization system. The Luobei standing army and reserves will accept the leadership and direction of the Xijiang Military Affairs Administration. At this point, The two sides had a big dispute, but at Xijiang's insistence, the two sides finally reached a compromise on the meanings of the words "Lingxun" and "Zhizhun", that is, in terms of training, the Luobei cavalry should accept the training while maintaining its own characteristics and advantages. The Military Administration of Western Xinjiang is looking for reforms. The upgrading of its equipment will be guaranteed by Xijiang, and under the wartime system, Xijiang has the right to directly deploy all armed forces of the Luobi people when the core interests of the Luobi people are not directly threatened. But it must be ensured that the fundamental interests of the Luo Bei clan are not harmed. And if the Luobei clan encounters foreign aggression, Xijiang will also use all its strength to ensure the safety of Luobei.
There is not much difference between the two parties on other terms. After all, the huge economic achievements made by Xijiang in the past ten years are enough to amaze anyone. If they can follow the Xijiang model and catch up with the express train of Xijiang's economic development, Luo Bei will naturally It was a good thing that the clan could only dream of, but the two sides had great disputes over the control of the military force. Especially Xijiang's request to take over the Luobei armed forces was even more unacceptable to Tu Da and Besang. Even Hasian felt that The requirements of the Western Territory were too high. In the end, after countless exchanges of words, the two sides reluctantly agreed to accept a compromise, that is, the establishment of a joint logistics mechanism, and the Luobei armed forces would have a certain degree of autonomy during non-war times. , but once Xijiang is considered to be in a state of war, the command power of the Luobei armed forces will be transferred to the Xijiang Military Affairs Administration. The wartime state refers to when the interests of Xijiang and Luobei are infringed, which does not include those with Xijiang. An ally formed in Xinjiang is invaded.
This was also the first programmatic agreement signed between Luobei and Xijiang, and it also laid a solid foundation for Luobei to gradually be integrated into the orbit of the Xijiang system. Later, although the relationship between Luobei and Xijiang would still be inconsistent because of this, In this way, conflicts of interest arise, but the relationship between the two parties is always limited within the framework of this agreement until the two parties finally establish a new relationship.
Standing outside the big tent with his hands behind his hands, the old man was a little irritated by the noise of people shouting and neighing in the distance. However, the old man knew that his mood was not due to these factors and sighed slightly. Many things were unexpected. The Tanghe people It's hard to understand how their attitude could change so quickly. It's even more unpredictable than the grassland weather in June.
A vigorous young man behind him was already a little impatient, but he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the old man. My father has been in charge of the family for decades, and there have been many ups and downs during this period. He was able to bring the family to this point. Although he is arrogant, he must admit that he does not have the ability. However, as his father gets older year by year, I grew up step by step, but my father always regarded me as a child, and I also felt that my father's ambition and courage in the past seemed to have gradually faded with the passage of time. , is this still the all-powerful father of the past
A burst of calm and rapid footsteps came from the side and behind. The young man glanced sideways at the man who had hurriedly approached. The other man seemed to sense the hostility of the young man, and his steps suddenly slowed down. The man who came was a man older than the young man. The slightly taller man has long hair tied into a beautiful pony tail. He is wearing a slightly old cowhide light armor. The riding boots under his feet are very powerful when walking on the ground. Although he is not as handsome as the young man, he is still handsome. Compared with young people, his movements are less impetuous and more calm."
"Hoxha is here? How is the situation?" Ignoring the young man's dissatisfaction, the old man turned around with a lingering look on his face.
"Going back to the leader, Li Wufeng's envoy had a very tough attitude. He asked us to immediately suspend military mobilization and solve the problem through negotiation, and not to use force or the threat of force to solve the problem."
Before the man finished speaking, the young man on the side suddenly jumped up: "Stop the military mobilization?! Oh, so majestic, such a tone! Who does he think he is? Not to mention he is just a messenger. Even if Li Wufeng comes in person, he doesn't have this Qualifications require us An'ou people to do this! Does he really think he is the King of Tengger? Father, there is no need to think about anything else. Just use the head of this ignorant messenger to sacrifice the flag for our army. This is better than It’s better to spoil livestock!”
"Shut up! You uneducated thing! Haven't I taught you how to respect others?" An angry scolding stopped the young man who was about to say more, and a rare look of anger appeared on the old man's face, "Do I still need you to teach me how to do it? ?”
Although the young man with an angry face was extremely dissatisfied, when he saw that his father was really angry, he timidly lowered his head to avoid his father's gaze, not daring to anger him at this time.
Hatefully looking away from his somewhat reckless son, the old man turned his attention to the man who had just arrived, "Hoxha, continue."
"Well, now our scouts have discovered that the Gur people are conducting military mobilization. According to intelligence, the Gur people are recruiting all combatants of appropriate age according to the emergency mobilization order issued by the Western Xinjiang Military Affairs Administration. Now they have recruited more than 30,000 people. , it is estimated that the final number will reach about 50,000." The man called Hoxha lowered his head to avoid the jealous eyes next to him. He didn't want this to happen, but things often backfired. Almost every time he appeared, he would Incur dissatisfaction from the other party.
