"Yes, Lord Marquis, the economic exchanges between the Luobi people and the northwest are getting closer and closer. Especially after the defeat of the Chidi people, I am afraid that this trend will rise further, and now the entire Luobi people's conquest The area with a radius of several thousand kilometers in the east is essentially under the semi-control of the northwest. I believe that after the next negotiation with the Chidi people is completed, the Luobei people and Li Wufeng will be closer." Viscount Mengkadi has not yet understood this. Seeing the far-reaching thoughts of his boss, he kept showing off all the inside information he had learned, "The strength of the Luobei people has been greatly weakened after this battle. I dare not say that their vitality is seriously damaged, but think about the collapse of Zhengdong." The disastrous defeat of the Hehu Army Department has been the most painful loss for the Luobi people in the past hundred years, so they will definitely become more attached to the Tanghe people, and only in this way can they fight against the victorious Chidi people."
"Well, according to your view of the Tanghe people, especially Li Wufeng, if this guy had the chance, would he formally bring the entire Luobei people into his hands?" Marquis Salz carefully thought about it. He didn't want the other party to understand his thoughts prematurely.
"Control the Luobei people?" He didn't expect that his boss would suddenly ask such a question. Viscount Mengkadi was a little confused, but he still thought hard and then said hesitantly: "At present, there is no such thing. Tendency, after all, this was such a good opportunity, Li Wufeng gave up on controlling the Luobi people's conquest of large areas of land in the east. Even the Mote people's territorial demands, he only satisfied the other party's request to take back their original territory. In my opinion , Li Wufeng seems to be more inclined to exercise indirect control through other means, such as economic means and finding spokespersons within him."
"Well, I understand. Viscount Mengkadi, in the past we have ignored the importance of the Luobi people to us, and focused more on the Chidi people. If we could have thought of this earlier, I would like to We have been able to avoid many unnecessary losses over the years. This is our negligence. Now the importance of the Luobi people to our allied countries has become more and more obvious. I think we should seize the opportunity now when the Luobi people are in urgent need of help. Trying to build a good relationship with them will help them regain their strength as soon as possible, which will suppress the arrogance of the Chidi people. This will be a good thing for our alliance. If the Luobi people can become our allies, from the current situation It seems that it is much more practical than forming an alliance with the Tanghe people." Marquis Salz has already made a decision in his mind.
"You mean we form an alliance directly with the Luobei people? Get rid of the Tanghe people?" Meng Kadi had already come to his senses.
"Why not? The Tanghe people have too many demands, such as lowering tariffs, which have caused a lot of controversy in the alliance parliament, especially the southern countries of the alliance. This can easily cause conflicts among the alliance countries, and as you said , the Tanghe people can only indirectly influence the Luobi people. I doubt how effective this kind of efficiency will be in future emergencies. What’s more, the Luobi people have suffered a new disaster. Our timely help will make the Luobi people Our kindness is engraved in our hearts, and we have no conflict of interest with them. Their strength is more beneficial to us. I believe the Luobi people also understand this. I think common interests can bring us together." Marquis of Salz At this time, I became more and more convinced of my opinion.
"It's just that this may anger Li Wufeng, who has considerable influence among the Luobi people." From the perspective of the alliance, Meng Kadi agreed with the Marquis's views, but he was a little worried about Li Wufeng's reaction.
"It doesn't matter. Didn't you say that Li Wufeng's attention is more on the Tanghe Empire? And now that the Tanghe Empire is in the period of throne change as you said, Li Wufeng must not have that much energy to care about these thousands of miles. Is it something other than something else? In addition, if they are really dissatisfied, we can also make some explanations and make amends through diplomatic channels. However, the alliance with the Luobi people is our unshakable principle, and we cannot let the initiative be in the hands of outsiders! "The Marquis of Salz's tone was decisive and obviously unchangeable.
"I understand. I wonder what the Marquis wants me to do?" Mengkadi naturally knew that it would not be so simple for the other party to specially arrange a private meeting with him to avoid guests, so he asked directly.
It is easy to deal with smart people. The Marquis of Salz looked at the subordinate in front of him with satisfaction. Although he was a bit pushy, he was still a good hand on the diplomatic front. At least his sensitivity in smell was rare. Get on.
"I want you to be appointed as the plenipotentiary minister of the Alliance in the city of Barona, the Luobi people, responsible for establishing and coordinating the formal diplomatic relations of our Luobi people." Marquis Solz said word by word.
From Commercial Counselor to Diplomatic Minister, although from the Principality of Meili to the nomads on the grassland, after all, the status has been greatly improved. What's more, it can also be heard from the words of the Marquis that the Luobi people will be in the alliance. It is a rare opportunity to occupy a very important position on the diplomatic stage in the future.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your attention. Mengkadi can only work hard to repay it. I just don't know if Lord Marquis has any other thoughts about my mission to Barona?" After many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Mengkadi has already known that the other party will arrange for him. There must be a special purpose for visiting the city of Barona.
"Well, I have an idea. Since Li Wufeng can support the forces that are friendly to the Tanghe people among the Luobi people and find spokespersons, why can't our Hansen Alliance follow suit? Moreover, we have more urgent needs than the Tanghe people. I hope that you can quickly open up the situation after you go. Firstly, you can make friends with those who hold real power among the Luobi people. Secondly, you can find some people who are willing to be allies and friends with us and actively cultivate them to lay a solid foundation for long-term goals. As for funding, I I will consider it, so you don’t have to worry. In addition, the forces pro-Tanghe will win over each other if they can, and if they can’t, they will slowly squeeze them out. We must make the Luobei people gradually become integrated with us." Seeing that the other party has accepted his arrangement and appointment, he simply Marquis Erz then told his thoughts, "I'm a little worried about Li Wufeng's appetite. I heard that he has repeatedly intervened in India. This is not a good phenomenon, so we have to prepare for a rainy day. Of course, I also hope that this is just I am asking for trouble. By the way, please don’t talk too much about these things to your two relatives. I don’t need to remind you about this, but the matter is so big that I have to say more."
Nodding silently, Viscount Mengkadi was a little worried about his niece, but then he thought about it. With Li Wufeng's current movements, there will not be any substantial conflict with the alliance for the time being. Everything can only be done step by step.
The peace talks between the Chidi people and the Luobi people have finally come to an end. This is the news that Su Jie came back from Salar City. Seeing this information with a faint fragrance, Wu Feng was in a daze for a moment. In fact, this information It can be obtained without going through channels like Su Jie, and the time difference will not exceed an hour, but Wu Feng still likes this kind of one-line contact that seems a bit petty. It is a kind of enjoyment, and the enjoyment can be savored alone.
It took Wufeng a long time to wake up from this somewhat confusing enjoyment. The news was very detailed. The Luobei people paid eight million imperial gold coins as compensation including the ransom of the captives. This was an astronomical figure for the Luobei people. , I don’t know how the Luobei people will pay. Wu Feng can even imagine that Donnie will come to him again and beg Northwest Bank for a loan. But what will be used as collateral for the loan? This large piece of land centered on Lake Hazuki? Wu Feng doesn't want to accept this condition. Luobei herdsmen will still live on this land, not much different from now; use transit tariff as guarantee? It seems that such a large sum of money will take who knows how many years to repay the principal with interest, which is really a headache.
The An'ou people have acquired a land with rich water and grass to the north of the Luobi people. Although it is not big, it is enough to make the An'ou people smile from ear to ear. It seems that the Chidi people really want to win over the An'ou people. On his own chariot, he would be so willing to fight for the interests of the An'ou people. I'm afraid that the An'ou people will taste the sweetness in the future and follow the Chidi people more wholeheartedly.
Negotiations between these nomads are always so simple and boring. Except for money and land, everything else can be ignored. Of course, moral reasons can be ignored, but no one even cares about later arrangements and preventing the recurrence of war. , perhaps these nomadic peoples on the grasslands have become accustomed to the fact that this kind of treaty is only valid for one year. At this time next year, as long as one party thinks that it has the strength to challenge the other party, the war can start again. The thing is actually that simple, but no one can avoid or stop it.
After receiving the news of the success of the peace talks, the Tengger Army and the Northern Luzon Army returned eastward as soon as possible, and the cavalry of the Mote and Tubu people had already embarked on their return journey. The Anou people finally They can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the beautiful spoils. The increasing population has long made them feel that their territory is narrow, and the vast bitter cold zone in the north makes it impossible for them to survive comfortably there. They may have to choose war. Take the road to survive.
The activities of the Luzon people made Wu Feng once again aggravate his worries about Northern Luzon. The original idea of mobilizing the Northern Luzon Army into the Central Plains may only be temporarily put aside. Before eliminating the possibility of the Luzon people's invasion from the north, Wu Feng He did not want to weaken Northern Luzon's defense easily. The rapid economic development of Northern Luzon had made Wu Feng deeply aware of the huge wealth contained in this land. In any case, he could not make the same mistake as the previous one.
