Kamapov has been sitting aside and not participating in the discussion. As a soldier, he never likes to get involved in these topics. Of course, it is impossible that the news about His Royal Highness King Qin’s appointment as a queen cannot fail to reach his ears, and it seems that it has already happened. There have also been some disturbances in the selection of the first lady. As the internal territory of the empire merged into Western Xinjiang gradually expanded, the influence of the orthodox and conservative Tanghe gentry in Western Xinjiang became more and more important. There are also many objections to the bloodline issue of An Qier, the first choice of the lady. Whether a woman of foreign blood can be a candidate has become the focus. It used to be that she was just Princess Qin, but now, after the battle in Yunzhong, His Highness Prince Qin seems to have ascended to the throne. suspense, this problem becomes even more prominent.
Kamapov himself is a Tang nationality with Caucasian ancestry. His family has lived in the Tanghe Empire for more than ten generations. He himself has long regarded himself as a pure Tanghe person, but Angel's bloodline is The dispute made him feel depressed. These boring Tanghe gentry actually wanted to deprive Angel of the right to establish a queen for this reason. This was unacceptable to Kamapov. Although he had never been involved in politics, he firmly believed that His Highness the King of Qin was here. You should have your own position on a point. The current new empire should not be limited to these details at all. The issue of establishing a queen should be decided by His Highness the King of Qin himself, and His Highness the King of Qin should consider who is the most suitable internal assistant for him, rather than other factors. Of course, this is just Kamapov’s personal opinion.
The Fifth Army finally ushered in a rare rest period after experiencing the bitter battle in the Battle of Yunzhong. The northern defense was handed over to the Jerok Army. Both the Kaman and Pu people have become much more honest now, at least not in the near future. Any move to invade the south. Although it is a little weak for a single legion of the Jerok Army to defend a thousand-mile front line by itself, considering that even Situ Tai is thinking about how to prevent the sweeping movement in Western Xinjiang, I believe no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.
It's just that the replenishment of reservists is not so satisfactory, and the reserves in the North Plains and Northwest are not sufficient. But just as it happened, His Highness the King of Qin had to ruthlessly recruit the Gaoyue militiamen who were regarded as forbidden by the fourth officer. This also made Kamapov very happy. The original quality of the Gaoyue soldiers was unmatched. As long as they could be matched with some The battle-hardened position officer believes that the strength of the entire legion will be restored soon, which is even better than Kamapov imagined.
Kamapov's mood was somewhat contradictory at this time. As a soldier, of course he was eager to be able to fight at any time to show the strength of his army, but the losses of the Fifth Army were too great, and they had gone beyond the ordinary level of injuries. Although the sentence "ten out of ten" is a bit excessive, it can indeed explain the difficult situation of the Fifth Army. It can be regarded as adding a division of Gaoyue soldiers into one's own army. However, it would be very difficult to restore the entire legion to its original level within a year and a half, especially with the large number of new recruits coming in. It is urgent for a period of time to carry out the necessary training, and only then can we talk about using one or two medium-term trainings. An intense battle was needed to restore the army to its original state. And if His Highness King Qin can continue his pioneering pace, the Fifth Army will have more opportunities to be trained and the recovery speed will be faster.
But Kamapov was also deeply touched by the words of Yang Zhengbin, Director of the Department of Economic Development. In the Battle of Yunzhong, Kamapov and the people of Yunzhong shared the joys and sorrows, paid a heavy price to defend Yunzhong, and made great contributions to the initiative of the entire Western Xinjiang to win the northern war, which also made ordinary young people Kamapov, who has contact with local people, has an understanding of the local situation in the entire cloud.
The strong folk customs in Yunzhong are largely related to Yunzhong's complex geographical environment and relatively weak economy. Agriculture depends on the weather. Water conservancy and irrigation construction are originally the foundation of agriculture, but there are almost no decent irrigation systems here. The industrial and commercial economy is close to zero, with neither mine development nor decent industrial workshops. The entire Yunzhong Fucheng is more like a commodity distribution center. To put it harshly, it is just a large town, a market for people to exchange goods. .
Compared with many places Kamapov has traveled, the level of poverty in Yunzhong is the highest, the urban construction is the worst, and the agricultural economy is the weakest. In the event of a natural disaster, people have to go out to escape, and the industrial and commercial economy is backward and has almost no development. In terms of prospects, the difference in people's living standards is also at the bottom. If it hadn't been for the last large amount of grain shipped from Western Xinjiang into the clouds, Kamapov doesn't know how many people would have starved to death in that drought. It can be said that Yunzhong is in urgent need of economic support from the Xijiang regime, and Xijiang should also provide support to Yunzhong. The people and gentry of Yunzhong paid a huge price for the battle in Yunzhong, certainly to protect their family. , but objectively it has won the strategic initiative for Western Xinjiang; in Kamapov’s view, Western Xinjiang should also provide necessary support morally.
At this banquet, Kamapov also shouldered the great trust of the gentry in Yunzhong, including Tao Tingzhi. Yunzhong was dilapidated and the economy was even more backward. The unified empire of Western Xinjiang was imminent. Once the empire was unified in Western Xinjiang, , there are more places that need to be taken into consideration, and it is difficult for remote counties like Yunzhong to make their voices heard. Now, taking advantage of the fact that the Fifth Army has just achieved a historic victory here, the gentry in Yunzhong have also pinned their hopes on Kama. On Pov, I hope that Kamapov can reflect to His Highness the King of Qin the difficulties currently faced by Yunzhong and give timely attention so that Yunzhong can regain its vitality as soon as possible and embark on the road of revitalizing the local economy.
Of course, Kamapov knew that as a soldier, one should not cheer for the local government. His Highness, the King of Qin, was also the most disgusted with soldiers interfering in local government affairs. However, emotionally he could not give up the selfless support of the people in the clouds for the Fifth Army. Countless heroes in the clouds Did he feel embarrassed that he had sacrificed his precious life in that battle just to advise Yunzhong's development? Kamapov felt a little ashamed of himself for being too cautious.
Today's banquet was attended by several giants from the government, so it should be the best opportunity to give recommendations, especially since Yang Zhengbin had already mentioned the development of the local economy. Kamapov felt that he could not give up this opportunity. , maybe we will never encounter such a good opportunity again in the future.
"Your Highness, Beizi is a military man. He doesn't understand local affairs, and he shouldn't interfere in these matters. However, Beizi was deeply touched after listening to what Mr. Yang Zhengbin just said. Beizi stayed in Yunzhong for a while, and he was deeply concerned about The situation in Yunzhong is also understood. I am afraid that the current situation in Yunzhong is not much better than that in Qingyang when I joined Qingyang with His Highness ten years ago. Except that the population of the prefecture and county is larger, the other conditions are already the same as those in Qingyang. There is not much difference. The city is ruined, the economy is in decline, and the farmland is destroyed. The people have great hopes for our Western Xinjiang, hoping that His Highness the Holy Grace of King Qin can bathe there and let them live in peace, contentment, prosperity, and happiness. But in fact The foundation there is too weak, and there is no sign of recovery in a short period of time. If there is no major investment support, I think Yunzhong will still be able to maintain its status quo in three to five years. When I left Yunzhong, the gentry in Yunzhong When the people saw them off, they all asked me to convey His Highness the King of Qin's gratitude. They never forgot that His Highness the King of Qin had given them life-saving food in times of need, and they had not forgotten that it was His Highness the King of Qin's army that prevented them from falling into the hands of the Situ family and the foreign occupying forces. In the face of misfortune due to occupation, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. This is the creed of the people in the clouds."
Kamapov was already a little emotional when he said this. He didn't know why his eloquence became so good at this moment. His eloquent words poured out like water, "But the people in the cloud are really too poor." Well, today was originally a celebration banquet for Yunzhong's great victory. He shouldn't have made these requests, but Kamapov still had the audacity to ask His Highness the King of Qin and several adults from the Government Affairs Office to pay more attention to Yunzhong and do whatever they can. We need to support Yunzhong internally, and Yunzhong's strategic position also determines that it will be our bridgehead to defend the northern frontier of the empire or attack the Puer people in the future."
Seeing everyone looking at him like a monster, Kamapov felt that his face was a little hot. He had never spoken so fluently in front of his superiors, and it had nothing to do with military affairs. Kamapov Mapov didn't know if his words were out of line, but deep down in his heart, Kamapov was relieved. At least he could face the people in the cloud with a clear conscience. He could do what he could for the people in the cloud. Already done.
Clear slaps reverberated in the hall, and the strange tone of voice made it clear that it came from the director of legal affairs: "Old Ka, you have it. Even General Kamapov, who has never been involved in civil affairs, made an exception. I'm crying out for Yunzhong. Hey, this is really strange news. At least it's the first time I've seen it. It's the first time I've seen Lao Ka talk so long about a place that needs support, funds and policies. Your Highness, just I'm afraid it's your first time too, right? Haha, Xiao Tang, James, and Yang Zhengbin, the three of you are here, shouldn't we consider our Lao Ka's first ** trip, and let us Lao Ka say it shamelessly? I'm afraid you won't be able to get these words even with money. Shouldn't you consider giving a big support to the hell place in Lao Ka's heart - Yunzhong? Hehe, Lao Ka said that there will soon catch up with us. Qingyang followed His Highness the King of Qin when he was making a living. If it had not been for Lao Ka's personality and it had been someone else, I would have suggested that Mi Feng check to see if anyone had received benefits from the local gentry."
