Qiu Zicheng originally thought that what he said was quite satisfactory, but he did not expect that he was still ridiculed by the coach. The Jerok Army was originally the first batch of troops established in Western Xinjiang, and Kang Jianguo was the first commander of the guard of His Highness King Qin. , this army has been guarding the northern border, facing the Sisiluo and Kaman people. Now the army has as many as six divisions, even one division more than the First Army. It has exceeded the imperial system. , all the divisions under his command are veterans who have experienced many wars. Although Qiu Zicheng is conceited, he is not arrogant enough to dare to say that he does not take the Jerok Army into consideration. Hearing the commander say this, he can only express dissatisfaction. Dare to chat. Of course Cui Wenxiu can say this. His prestige among the emperor is even higher than that of Liang Chongxin. Although Kang Jianguo is a veteran in the army, he does not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
"Hehe, the commander is right. Zicheng will definitely work hard and live up to the commander's expectations."
Cui Wenxiu felt uncomfortable hearing these two dry words, but considering the order in which each legion was established, and their combat effectiveness, what I learned from observing the tenth legion during this period of time, should be It is said that this army, whose main force was born out of the Taiping Army, is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness, but it may have inherited the consistent style of the Taiping Army. In terms of discipline, it is obviously somewhat different from the original Western Xinjiang Army. Cui Wenxiu also knows that the current deputy Qiu Zicheng The Gillette actually came from the Western Xinjiang Army. Now they are aware of the problems in this newly built army. They are making great efforts to rectify military discipline. The results are slowly showing. However, if they want to catch up with the old armies in Western Xinjiang all at once, they can only I'm afraid it will take some time.
"Gou Feng, what's going on when the Solians suddenly want to join the empire? Is this guy Bao Lin and Ying Jianming instigating it?" Cui Wenxiu returned his attention to the topic and asked The Leans have always been loyal allies of the Hyderabadis. Now even if Mish is forced to seek greater support from the empire and will seek protection due to the situation, the Thorians live in the northeastern part of India. Whether it is the threat from the Hansen Alliance or the Luzon people, it will not endanger them for the time being. At this time, they suddenly asked to leave the Indian Kingdom and wanted to join the Tang Empire. The more eager it seems, the more incomprehensible it seems.
After scratching his head, the young staff officer obviously didn't expect that the coach would ask this key question all of a sudden, and he was a little speechless for a while and didn't know how to answer. Cui Wenxiu also had a knowing smile in his eyes, "Commander Gu, you don't need to cover for your legion commander. Needless to say, this matter was probably the idea of that boy Pauling. Ying Jianming was just a follower at most. , but I want to know what the Solians think internally. Such matters that may change the administrative jurisdiction system are not something that our military can decide. It needs to be reported to the Government Affairs Council and His Highness the King of Qin before a decision can be made. And it may also be You can’t give me a bad look at the changes that affect the situation in the entire Indian region."
"Uh. Marshal, there are internal reasons why the Solians want to join our empire, and they are not simply caused by external incentives. In fact, the Indian Kingdom is nominally composed of three ministries that jointly control the central government, but in fact the entire central government The government is mainly controlled by Hyderabadis, and the Mish people also have a certain say. On the contrary, the Solians have little status in the central government, and naturally they do not bring many substantial benefits to the Solians. The main reason is that The Thorians have no say in the army, and the proportion of Thorians in the central army is quite low."
"Therefore, although the Solians had always been dissatisfied with the central government in the past, considering their own weakness, they reluctantly recognized the status quo of the regime at that time. However, since the Tik people invaded north and defeated the main force of the central army, although the central army of the kingdom was rebuilt, In terms of combat effectiveness, it has always been unsatisfactory. Even the original state cannot be restored. The defense of the areas controlled by the central government of the Indian Kingdom is basically borne by our imperial army. The Hyderabadis in the army The advantage has disappeared. In view of this situation, the voices of the Solians who are dissatisfied with the status quo are naturally growing. The Hyderabadis are even more unwilling to let the Solians participate in the central government because the three northeastern provinces have actually become imperial protectors. Government affairs. In their view, the Solians have not brought much benefit to the central government of the kingdom, and now they still want to share the power of the central government. This is even more intolerable, so they naturally rejected the request of the Solians. .”
Seeing the coach nodding slightly with interest, the young staff officer became even more energetic. Being able to get such an opportunity in front of the coach is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If not, it can determine the fate of the rest of his life. Many times, fate is often controlled by the meeting. in the hands of those who grasp it.
"Another important reason is that the Solians have seen that the empire is now unified in the hands of His Highness King Qin. The interior of the empire has a great demand for important living supplies such as food, cotton, and luxury goods such as gems and gold. The three northeastern provinces and the Boluo province It is highly complementary to the mainland of the empire. Driven by economic interests, the top leaders of the Solian people also hope to share the prosperity and development brought by the common market. However, the relationship between the empire and the protectorate is now more unequal. Unilateral economic policy, so this is another major internal reason why the Thorians want to become part of the empire.”
"The Solians are now requesting that the Northeastern Provinces and the Poro Provinces join the empire. The Hyderabadis strongly oppose it, but in their psychology, they do not think that the Northeastern Provinces controlled by the Solians are indispensable to the Hyderabadis. , but believes that once this precedent is set, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction, and the Mish tribe may also follow suit. Although the Hyderabadis control the administrative power of the Poro Province, in fact, in this province However, the proportion of Solian people is larger. The ratio between Hyderabadi and Solian people is four to six. Once the Poro Province located in the center of the Indian Kingdom became part of the Tang Empire, Then the entire Indian Kingdom has actually existed in name only."
Cui Wenxiu could hear that the young intelligence staff officer in front of him was a bit showy in his remarks, but he could hear that there was still some immaturity in it. However, for a young intelligence staff officer to have such a vision and such an incisive analysis, he still felt that he should give him an encouragement and clapped his hands to express his appreciation. , which makes the young staff officer even more proud. Even the coach agrees with his opinion, which is indeed enough to make people proud.
"Well, the analysis is very thorough, but I want to ask, what attitude should we take now towards the Solian people's claims and the Mish people's wishes?" This is a more complicated question, Cui Wenxiu wants to Take this opportunity to test the political acumen of this staff officer.
Sure enough, the young staff officer did not dare to speak casually about this issue. He hesitated for a while and still did not dare to draw a conclusion lightly. However, after seeing Cui Wenxiu's encouraging eyes, he plucked up the courage to say: "Commander, I'm afraid this issue is not simple. It is as simple as asking us to express our attitude. The people of Hyderabad are still our main allies in cooperation. If you and I support or agree with the attitude of the Solians and the Mish people, it will undoubtedly push the Hyderabadi people to the other side, but If we reject the pleas of the Solians and the Mish, it will hurt the hearts of these two groups. This depends on the current intentions of the empire. If the empire now wants to completely cooperate with the Luzon people and the Hansen Alliance, If the Indian Kingdom is divided, then we might as well support the Solians and the Mish. Now that the Hyderabadis are surrounded among us, they can't do anything even if they want to resist, but if we want to settle them down and the situation is calm, This may take us a long time. If we want to adopt a gradual policy and use the central government of the Indian Kingdom to fight for the land of the entire Indian Kingdom, then we still have to ask the Solians and Mish to maintain Restrain yourself and wait until the situation is clear before making a decision."
Nodding, Cui Wenxiu said no more. It is very valuable for this young staff officer to be able to analyze to this point. It seems that it would be a pity if Ying Jianming, the Indian Army Corps, cannot be included in the regular army establishment. An intelligence staff officer, Yin De Being able to have such insight into the current situation at least shows that the leadership of the Indian Army has put some effort into studying the current situation.
"Very good, I already know the situation in the north. You go back and take a message to Ying Jianming, Kang Jianguo, and Bao Lin, asking the army to maintain restraint and not to take the initiative to provoke, but to ensure the stability of strategically important areas in the border areas. The various units of the Jerok Army immediately entered the predetermined defense area to familiarize themselves with the situation, and asked Pauling to rush to Hailum, the capital of Lahore, to wait for me. Ying Jianming and Kang Jianguo went to Hailum after arranging their military affairs, and I inspected Northern Luzon. Then we will meet them at Hailum.”
Looking at the intelligence staff officer who was speeding away in response to the order, Cui Wenxiu had already begun to consider how he would make the first move to open up the situation in the Indian region. It was obvious that the Luzon people were not as aggressive as he had predicted. In a word, he was more aggressive, but adopted a steady and steady approach. It seems that General Kloof and his cousin have different tactics. They did not break through easily even though they had an absolute advantage. The boundaries set by the empire, but he is too naive if he thinks that this can avoid a head-on war between the two sides. Of course, Cui Wenxiu believes that Kruve, who has experienced hundreds of battles, will not be so stupid. The other party naturally has its own reasons for doing so. idea.
