Wu Feng may have to face some more difficult problems and need to make an immediate decision. There is no time at his disposal. There has been a call within Xijiang for Wu Feng to complete his accession to the throne before March 700. Dadian, which means that the new dynasty should have been established in the spring of 700, but there were still many troubles plaguing Wu Feng. Situ Tai's handling, the positioning of the imperial capital, and the name of the new dynasty all caused a lot of controversy, and these things Each one seems to spark huge controversy.
Fortunately, the news from Situ Yutang from the imperial capital is quite satisfactory. The Situ family has surrendered and is willing to withdraw from the stage in a more peaceful way. Situ Yuan has expressed this either explicitly or covertly on many occasions. With the exception of Situ Yushuang, no one else in the Situ family could object to this wish. Of course, in the conditions promised to Situ Yutang, Wu Feng also promised that the members of the Situ family would not be infringed on their property status. As for political privileges, Wu Feng had never thought of giving them to anyone or any class. It seems that economic strength is the guarantee that determines political privileges.
It seems that Situ Yushuang, an outlier, is going to fight against her to the end. Around her, there are also representatives of some ultra-conservative forces and die-hard Situ family groups. It even included some gentry and nobles who had fled to the imperial capital from Yanyun and Beiyuan, which made Wu Feng very curious. Wu Feng couldn't imagine what kind of legal means the "Aoshuang Peony" in the family would use to fight and supervise.
It is said that the "Beijing Times" organized by her has been launched and has begun to be distributed to the outside world. It seems to still have some influence. Although it cannot be compared with several major newspapers and periodicals in the capital, it can be regarded as being eccentric and attracting the attention of some people. It would be too naive to rely solely on one newspaper to influence one's own policies. The empire to be established will only strengthen the intelligence of news supervision. But if it’s just objective criticism. Wu Feng still plans to accept it. After all, it is necessary to have such a media that is always "reminding" him. What's more, with the guillotine in his hand, he can cut off these things that are not conducive to his rule at any time.
The mere existence of such a group will not affect the process of ascending to the throne. What's more, Wu Feng also understood that Situ Yushuang was not a stupid person. Being calm and able to face reality rationally was her strength. She came up with legal and more strategic methods and would not use extreme methods to fight. Situ Yutang was The letter also clearly told Wu Feng the promise of the thirteenth sister.
The positioning of the capital also caused a lot of controversy. Wu Feng once wanted to determine a better result through a large-scale debate, but Wu Feng immediately rejected the idea rationally. This would cause a lot of unnecessary differences. This seems to be necessary. You have to make your own decisions. The disputes over Qingyang, Hanzhong, Jinling and Zhongzhou were also resolved under Wu Feng's tough stance. Wu Feng will still use Zhongzhou as his capital for the time being, waiting for the situation in the empire to stabilize before making a final decision. This decision also won the approval of most ministers. After all, while the other three cities have certain advantages and disadvantages and are about to be established and there are quite a lot of affairs that need to be carried out, the other three cities do not seem to have the space to accommodate the huge imperial bureaucracy. Only Zhongzhou City has everything ready-made, which is the most suitable. .
The national title is also controversial among subordinates. However, compared to the positioning of the capital, the country's title does not involve too many interests. On this point, although there is controversy, it is all done in a calm state. In the end, Wu Feng made the final decision and decided the country's name." "Datang" has a certain connection with the "Tang River" that has come to an end. It implies the original meaning of the Tang nation, which finally won the unanimous approval of many officials.
Situ Tai's disposal problem was also successfully resolved. The Secretary of the Interior made a decision to imprison him in the temple where he became a monk. He was not allowed to leave without permission, and outsiders were not allowed to visit. Of course, this was only a temporary measure, but at least it solved the problem for now, and the Situ Tai problem would not be a problem. and trigger antagonism.
Negotiations with the Dodon people are also in full swing. The Western Xinjiang Army, which has already launched a war in the Kutz area, seems to have maintained a restrained attitude with reservations. However, a steady stream of troops entering the Kutz and Yanshan border areas The Rangers made the Dodon people even more panic-stricken. Although the diplomatic envoys of the Kaman and Sisluo people had participated in this diplomatic negotiation that had nothing to do with them several times, the tough posture adopted by the Western Xinjiang diplomats still made the They feel intimidated.
There is no doubt that the Dodon people participated in the hostilities against Western Xinjiang. This kind of action will definitely require liquidation for the Western Xinjiang people who have achieved complete victory. The winner never needs any reason. If there is a reason, then it will be even more Perfect, but Western Xinjiang's appetite is a bit too big. It not only requires the cession of Okhotsk, but also requires that the Kutz region be located in the demilitarized zone. The Dodon people are not allowed to station more than 10,000 regular troops. They also require that the Dodon people must To stop the military attack and political persecution of the Baiin people in the north, the Dodon people must open their Nomenkan military port in the north for the future Western Xinjiang navy to dock. This series of harsh conditions simply requires the Dodon people to surrender completely. Of course people cannot accept it, but the situation in front of them is that Xizhen is constantly moving troops to the north. This posture forces the Doton people's envoy to sit down and talk to the Xijiang people in this humiliating situation. Diplomats continue negotiations.
The Xijiang people's sky-high asking price made both the Sisluo and Kaman people intolerable, but the initiative and excuses were in the hands of the other party. Whether it was in terms of strength or morality, the Dodon people were at a disadvantage and made Some concessions are inevitable, but the line must not be crossed.
The Okhotsk region has been fully occupied by the Western Xinjiang army. It is almost impossible for the Western Xinjiang people to withdraw. Fortunately, the Dodon side does not attach much importance to this land. In addition, this land originally has After historical disputes, even if it is returned to the Tanghe people, it will not cause too big a problem, but it is absolutely unacceptable to make the Kutz area a demilitarized zone. The loss of Okhotsk has put Kutz in a very dangerous situation. , if it continues to become a demilitarized zone, it would be simply suicide. As for the issue of the Baiin people, it can be up or down. After all, it is in the far north. Even if they vaguely agree, the Tanghe people cannot really supervise it. The arduous negotiations, facilitated by the special envoys Kaman and Sisluo, finally moved closer to peace step by step. When the issue of the use of the Nomenkan naval port was finally resolved by obtaining the consent of the Dodon people in advance and allowing the Western Xinjiang navy to use it, all parties were finally able to Each of them explained to his masters in one breath.
When the dust settled one by one, Wu Fengjing seemed to be a matter of course. The imperial capital has been firmly controlled by Song Tianxiong and Huangfu Tiancheng, and except for Huangfu Tiancheng's second division, the other four divisions of the Imperial Guard have already moved to the outskirts of the imperial capital and are waiting for reorganization. Huangfu Tiancheng The appointment of the temporary commander gave this group of Imperial Guards a lot of peace of mind. After all, Huangfu Yiwan was still a senior officer from the Imperial Guards, and with his good performance in the eyes of King Qin, the outcome of the Imperial Guards was unlikely. Too bad. The Second and Fourth Divisions of the Third Army were also ordered to enter the Imperial Capital to strengthen the security of the Imperial Capital. With His Highness King Qin about to enter the capital, the security situation in the Imperial Capital will become increasingly tense, which forces everyone to be more vigilant and take precautions.
Under Lin Yuexin's promotion, all personnel and information of the Sanjiang Lin family's spy system were decomposed and joined the General Intelligence Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau, marking the complete integration of the last remaining strength of the Lin family into the new empire. At the same time, most of the pariah Lehu intelligence system with strength throughout the southeast also joined the General Intelligence Bureau under the leadership of Zhu Tingling, and a small number joined the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Security Department respectively. The two intelligence systems originally existed in the empire. The system eventually entered the soon-to-be-formed Imperial National Intelligence Service and the Imperial Intelligence Agency in a piecemeal manner.
On January 30, 700 in the Continental Gregorian Calendar, Situ Yuan, the last emperor of the Tanghe Empire, announced his abdication in the imperial capital Zhongzhou, and left the palace to return to his residence before ascending the throne. At the same time, all the imperial cabinet ministries announced their resignation. At the same time, in advance Xiao Tang, the director of the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Office who arrived in the imperial capital, announced that he would temporarily take charge of the government affairs of Zhongzhou and take charge of all affairs in Zhongzhou, including the imperial capital city. Wang Liao, the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office who accompanied him, also informed the mainland of the various forces in the imperial capital about the current situation and the situation. The representative announced that the Sri Lankan Empire was about to be established, and the country would be named "Datang". Negotiations on establishing diplomatic relations could begin soon.
A series of news of changes seemed to come naturally, but there were always some surprises. Before His Highness King Qin was executed, Situ Yuan announced his abdication. This was a good way to avoid embarrassment. In fact, the imperial cabinet no longer had any power. Resignation is just a formality. Xiao Tang's entry into Beijing marks that the forces in Western Xinjiang have truly unified the empire and have achieved this step of banning this line in the entire empire.
At this time, almost all the media were already hailing the arrival of a new dynasty and that the Tang Dynasty would bring a prosperous era to the Tang nation. From the business class to ordinary citizens, from handicrafts to farmers and herdsmen, they were all cheering for the Tang Dynasty. The new empire and the new dynasty were established with joy. The benefits brought by His Highness King Qin have been deeply realized by the people in the Western Xinjiang ruling area. Now, once the new empire is established, it may usher in a better era.
