"It seems that I was a little too hasty. I'm sorry, Mr. Wan. But I have never concealed my attitude. I have always hoped that the Imperial Administration Council can take over Meili as soon as possible. Even the Indian region can take advantage of this opportunity. All the problems have been solved. The situation in the Meili area is very mature. I think you should be aware of this during the investigation. I think as the military commander assigned by the Imperial Privy Council to the Central Continent, I should still have a say, right?" Cui Wenxiu It is not taboo. As a soldier, it is completely understandable to express the opinion that the military and government should be separated as soon as possible.
Only the integration of military and political affairs needs to be considered.
"General Wenxiu, your opinions are of course very important. This is also the main thing we need to understand on this trip to Meili. Today, Mr. Frey and I came to you to prepare to listen to your opinions before leaving, so that we can After returning to the imperial capital, he will report to the Government Affairs Council, Privy Council, Senate, and People's Council." Wan Renwushan explained with a smile.
"Well, this is ridiculous. I also think that the central government of the empire really wants to bypass the opinions of our local garrison and do something alone. Since Master Wan and Brother Frey are here, I will briefly explain my views. I think, Including my views on the Indian region, okay?" Cui Wenxiu also knew that this was the last step of the other party. After soliciting his opinions, they would need to summarize and report to the Imperial Central Committee.
"Well, yes, of course." Frey smiled and nodded.
"First of all, I will clarify my point of view. I support the establishment of imperial counties in the Meili and Indian regions as soon as possible. Second, I will briefly explain the reasons. Let me talk about the Meili region first. First, the situation in the Meili region is calm. The internal conflicts are not obvious, and there is no strong local reaction to the abdication of the Duke of York. I have also established a temporary management organization to prepare for the establishment of the county. The people are mentally prepared. Second, Meili is rich and financially strong. , which has a great supplementary effect on the imperial finances, but lacks strong military power guarantee, especially naval power. The establishment of a direct subordinate will help the imperial navy establish a stronghold in the Sporades Islands, and at the same time expand the empire's land and sea trade routes, which will facilitate Expand the empire's land and sea transportation lines to the Baltic and Aegean Seas: Third, Melly is too far away from the empire. If it does not establish a direct link and replace it with a protectorate or other means, it will easily trigger the suspicion of local restoration forces and foreign forces. .”
Although Wan Renshan did not keep any records, he had already kept Cui Wenxiu's opinions in mind.
"Let's talk about the Indian region. I should have waited for you to complete the investigation before I expressed my position. However, the Indian region has actually matured. There is no need for me to elaborate. Your Majesty has been involved in the Pancha and Solian regions since the beginning. Starting from the sand, pulling one by one, suppressing the strong and supporting the weak, the empire began to deploy in this region. The solution to the problems of the Hyderabadis was just a matter of course. Several other regions had long been looking forward to joining the empire, and there was no need to spend more energy. India The De'an area has abundant population resources and fertile land. The climate is suitable and the mineral deposits are rich. However, due to the continuous state of division and the local nobles being too decadent and extravagant, the economy has stagnated. If the empire could take over earlier, it would only take a little time. With more energy to improve local administration, the Indian region will surely become an extremely large market and an extremely sufficient production base for raw materials and primary products for the empire, and the fiscal taxes paid will probably make the two prime ministers of the State Council wake up from sleep with laughter. "
"Lord Wenxiu, is this all your opinion?" Wan Renshan asked patiently.
Wenxiu's opinions largely represent the opinions of the imperial government in this regard, but judging from what the other party said just now, almost all of them were explained from the perspective of civil affairs, which surprised Wanrenshan and at the same time made him feel It is no accident that the person in front of me is able to sit in the Central Continent. He can even analyze civil affairs thoroughly. No wonder His Majesty can confidently and boldly leave a large territory to him at his disposal.
"Of course not. That was just my personal experience as a member of the empire. Let me talk about my opinions as the military leader of the Central Continent. If Meili and the Indian region can be quickly brought under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, our military will be much smaller. Troublesome affairs, avoid getting too much energy involved in them. The rapid settlement of Meili and India will help our army concentrate on arranging military operations. As long as these two places are stabilized, they can be used as solid rear bases for our army, whether it is food or food. We are no longer worried about the shortage of other military supplies. With India and Melly, I can have a hundred thousand troops in my hands and no longer need supplies from the interior of the empire. It can greatly shorten the supply distance, greatly save manpower and material resources, and have a stable base, I can also plan our next plan." Cui Wenxiu said proudly.
"General Wenxiu, I wonder if you can reveal your next plan to us? I think if General Wenxiu's rough plan can be submitted to the Privy Council, I think the Privy Council will definitely fully support Lord Wenxiu's opinion." Frey also Interject cautiously.
"Well, there is only an intentional idea, but if Mr. Frey asks, there is nothing I can't tell people." Cui Wenxiu smiled slightly: "The Indian region and the Meili region are both a whole, so they have been in this situation for a long time. The state of partition is not conducive to the rule of the empire. This is my initial goal. As for Luzon, I do not plan to take any action for the time being unless the joint efforts of Frederick and Qu Lin can break Kutuzuo’s lost iron army. , otherwise I will have to keep waiting until I have completely solved the West Indian and Melly issues."
"General Wenxiu means to encourage the Luzon people to keep fighting with the Pasha people?" Frey's eyes lit up.
"Haha, that's what I mean. It's best to remain in a stalemate. Frederick and Qu Lin can neither fall nor win completely. It's best to maintain a balance. This is in the best interest of the empire and we can free up our hands. Come and take care of the Hansen Alliance and the Jutlanders in the south. How about it, Lord Frey, are you interested in coming to work with me? What's the point of staying in the imperial capital all the time? A man is at home in all corners of the world, and he can leap on horseback and cross swords. There is a hero on top of the foreign city, does Mr. Frey intend to live like this for the rest of his life?" Cui Wenxiu clapped his hands and laughed, but looked at him sideways.
There was a flush in front of him, and Frey was also sighing. He didn't want to come out and do some hard work. Over the years, he still missed the time when he competed with the Puer and Kaman people in the north. It was a pity that he was arranged by His Highness. He stayed in the Imperial Guard for ten years. His ambition was still there, but time flew by. But would the current emperor let him go out and try his skills
As if seeing the other party's concerns, Cui Wenxiu laughed again, "Lord Frey, I just want to ask you if you would like to come to my place to practice. If you are willing, I will persuade His Majesty the Emperor. , It’s just that you don’t have as much leisure time here as I do now, and you have to go to the battlefield anytime and anywhere.”
"What did General Wenxiu say? Is Frey a man who wants to have some leisure time? If General Zhangxiu can liberate Frey from Your Majesty, what's the problem if Frey starts from a lowly soldier?" Frey said enthusiastically.
"Okay, it's settled. Lord Frey, finish your current work first. When you complete your mission and return to the imperial capital, it will be time for you to return here. Cui Wenxiu will be waiting for you." Cui Wenxiu said happily.
Compared with the seriousness and meticulousness in Meili, the investigation team's investigation in the Indian region seemed a bit superficial. In several areas, almost each area only had one to two days of stay, which was only half a month. The inspection was completed in less than a month and they were on their way home. When they returned to the imperial capital to submit their inspection opinions, it was already mid-November.
In fact, before Wanrenshan and his party returned to the imperial capital, the issue of the disposal of the Meili and Indian regions had been aroused in the imperial capital. The cause was for no other reason than the application for joining the empire submitted by the Hyderabad noble elders. The Li'an, Panzhe, and Mish tribes all followed suit, and also conducted a vote of representatives within the clan to formulate a resolution and submitted it to the Imperial Council. This behavior was turned upside down by public opinion, and plunged both the Imperial Council and Wu Feng into trouble. Being passive, it seemed that it was not appropriate to delay the delay. In the end, the Government Affairs Council had to come forward to explain that the investigation team sent to the two places would submit an investigation report to the empire regarding the administrative structure of the Meili region and the Indian region. The Four Houses of the Empire will finally submit the decision to His Majesty the Emperor after deliberation.
Liang Chongxin sat leisurely and contentedly in the command post located on the seaside of East Samoa City, reading the book "Wei Liao Zi Che". After entering October, the heat in the South China Sea did not seem to decrease much, but he could already feel it in the morning and evening. There is a hint of coolness that is not noticed by others, and this coolness will gradually become obvious in November, and there is almost no real winter in the South China Sea. It can only be said that there is a relatively cool spring, and that is When the northern part of the empire was frozen for thousands of miles.
"My lord, you are so interested."
The sound of footsteps was very light, but the sound of words could already be heard under his arms.
"Brother Wen, Brother Dayou, please come quickly." Liang Chongxin closed the book and stood up to read.
"Your Majesty, you are really strolling in the waves." Wenner actually admired the calm-looking coach in front of him, not just because he tried his best to mediate between himself and Cheng Dayou, and was able to persuade the furious Emperor to stop fighting. For half a year, it was almost impossible in the imagination of myself and Cheng Dayou at that time. The emperor suffered such a big loss in the eyes of the militiamen in the Southwest who had always thought they were vulnerable. With His Majesty's face-saving character, , even if they mobilized a large army, they would retaliate, and both of them were ready to fight a difficult swamp battle. However, Liang Chongxin persuaded His Majesty to set aside half a year, and did not give any time to himself and himself who were mainly responsible. Cheng Dayou's punishment was only a nominal fine of half a year.
