Although this series of discussions could not immediately determine the future political organizational structure of the area under Li Wufeng's jurisdiction, it also initially sketched a prototype for the so-called Western Xinjiang Protectorate. The idea of forming the Senate came from Northern Luzon, but it was inspired by what Wu Feng saw when he was traveling in the Western Continent and saw the parliaments established by some city republics around the Sea of Babylon. However, Wu Feng had not thought about it for the time being, but he had not really thought about it in his own life. He wanted to establish such a self-regulatory institution in his territory, but he felt that he could establish an institution similar to providing decision-making suggestions for himself and the government. The so-called recruiting wise words and hearing the opinions of the public probably meant this, at least it could be used. This channel understands to a certain extent the concerns and concerns of all walks of life, although this is not accurate.
However, Wu Feng's creative move did not win the support of his important ministers at the time. In their view, it is certainly necessary to grasp public opinion, but it does not necessarily have to be understood through this channel. The establishment of such an organization cannot control the situation. What practical effects can development within the territory have? Even in the eyes of some historians hundreds of years later, Li Wufeng's unconventional initiative was nothing more than an illusion. From the perspective of the functions and powers of the Senate, there seemed to be no restrictions except for one. It has the right to make suggestions without any other power that can have a coercive effect on the government. This is purely a decoration. However, many political scientists and sociologists in later generations greatly praised Li Wufeng's initiative, praising Li Wufeng's measure as a historical precedent, and for the first time blowing a breeze in the Eastern Continent, a region with the only imperial power. , although this Council did not play much substantive role at that time or even for a long time in the future, it already had some kind of prototype to limit the power of the government. At least the government needs to listen carefully to these public opinions from all regions and all walks of life. The problems reported by the representatives, especially later as the quota of public opinion representatives and the classes, ethnic groups and interest groups represented became more and more extensive, this role became more and more obvious.
In Li Wufeng's words, this can at least provide an additional channel to understand public opinion. As for whether public opinion is in line with the national interest and whether it needs to be implemented immediately, it is up to the decision-maker to make a judgment. The final decision-making power still rests with the decision-maker. in hands. This may be Wu Feng’s original intention.
In view of the fact that the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate requires the approval of the central government of the empire, the affairs of the six Kansai prefectures can still only be maintained as they are before the approval of the central government of the empire. Fortunately, the arrival of Xiao Tang and Su Qin has already solved major administrative matters. A consensus was reached, and Wang Zongxi became the main operator. The preliminary work of establishing the Western Xinjiang Protectorate mainly fell on Su Qin and Wang Zongxi. Xiao Tang only stayed in Lujiang for three days before setting off. Returning to Qingyang, after all, only Wang Liao is left in the northwest to support the overall situation. At this time, Wu Feng realized that there were still too few talents under his command who could take charge of their own affairs. It was difficult to conquer a country, but it was even harder to sit on it. It was only at this time that Wu Feng realized the old saying. Maybe he should really think about it for a while. How can we establish a regular mechanism to recruit and recruit all kinds of talents? Students who are simply trained from Imperial University and Northwestern University are barely qualified for general routine work, but talents who can truly enter into their own core to work for themselves and share their worries It's still too little, which is a big mistake on my part.
Two businessmen-looking guys walked out of an alley in the northern section of Xinglong Street in Nanfeng Prefecture affectionately. A carriage had already been waiting at the entrance of the alley. The two got in the carriage and drove straight out of the city. Seeing the two chatting and laughing, outsiders would be surprised. I really thought that these were two business partners who were probably going somewhere for leisure. No one knew that they were strangers just a moment ago.
Sitting in the carriage, Link felt very calm as he was thinking about his second mission. As the special envoy of the northwest diplomatic department, half of the mission has been completed, and the trip to Myanmar has achieved unexpected results. Although the Wen family has gained a lot of support among the people in central and southern Myanmar, they are still at a disadvantage when facing the overwhelming advantage of the Tiannan Army. The support of the people cannot replace the gap in military strength, not to mention that the Lang family relies on the original Lao Burmese army. Wang Lian's marriage still has considerable supporters in central and northern Myanmar, especially under the current situation where the Lang family's military strength is dominant, and almost everyone is not optimistic about the Wen family.
But the Wen family has been cornered. Except for the support from the northwest side that they represent, no one seems to be willing to take a look at Wen. The central region has gradually fallen under the control of the Tiannan Army, and the situation is still developing in a direction that is not conducive to the Wen family. , if there is not enough support, perhaps as predicted by his boss, Wenner will not survive June. Wenner looked forward to his visit. Facing the Tiannan Army's advancing, Wenner tried his best, but he still could not stop the decline. The disparity in military power made it difficult for him to make a living without rice. In order to demonstrate the strong fighting spirit of the Burmese army, Winner also specially allowed himself to visit several Burmese army camps. Perhaps he was right. The Burmese army did have high fighting spirit, but serious deficiencies were exposed in everything from logistical supplies to weapons and equipment. , which directly endangered the combat effectiveness of the army.
Fortunately, his visit finally gave Winner a glimmer of hope in the darkness, but it may be difficult to revive the situation in Myanmar with some financial assistance alone. If Winner continues to persist, he may have to send troops on his own side. , this is the conclusion that Link came to after combining what he saw and heard from many aspects. He is going to put forward his opinion to his superiors after he returns to the northwest.
Seeing that his temporary companion seemed to be thinking about something, the man in black sitting next to Link did not disturb him. It was not until Link breathed a long sigh of relief that the man in black asked with a smile: " Brother Lin, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about today's negotiation?"
"Oh, no, I'm wondering whether I should take a detour through Wuhu or go directly from Dandong to Guanxi after I go back. I heard that Tiannan is now under very strict inspection in Dandong and Zhujiang Prefectures. I don't want to be the target of surveillance by Tiannan people. Now the threat of Sanjiang to Tiannan is obviously not great. Maybe it is safer to cross the border from Sanjiang and go to Wuhu." Link nodded and answered with a smile, although this ordinary-looking man in black had only been in contact with him for a few days, and he even couldn't even He didn’t know the other party’s real name. He only knew that the other party’s surname was Zhang. However, the other party sneaked into Burma with him to contact the Wen family, and now he accompanied him on a second mission. After getting along with him for a few days, Link felt that this person was a worthy person. Although he and I belong to different departments when we first make friends, in addition to official business, we have also established a good personal relationship.
"Haha, it's not as serious as Brother Lin imagined. Tiannan's morale has dropped a lot since he was driven out of Kansai. The two northern governments have been worried that the superiors will use troops against them, so it is understandable that the inspections in the north should be stricter. But they have not banned business travel, and I guess they don't dare to do this. Doing so will give us a reason to use troops." The man in black laughed loudly and said, "I don't know if Mr. Li really wants to use troops against Tiannan. I really hope that Tiannan can be solved as soon as possible. Now Tiannan has declined to its lowest point. It is incomparably different from previous years. I have stayed in Tiannan for several years and I am tired of it. I really want to change the environment. , if we can go south, I won’t have to stay here.”
"Haha, Brother Zhang, aren't you afraid that the new environment will be more dangerous in your profession? Why are you still so keen on this profession?" Link asked in surprise. He knew that there was a large turnover of people in the intelligence department. Unless they were senior intelligence personnel with deep connections in one place, they would usually have to change their environment in a few years to prevent exposure.
"Haha, Brother Lin. Although the intelligence department is very risky, it is not the narrow escape you imagined. There will be no return. I am an adventurous person by nature and like to meet new friends, so I am more Being willing to go outside, even if the risk is greater, may be a major pursuit in life." The man in black showed a rare look of longing on his face, "I heard that the customs and customs of India and Luzon are very different. It’s very different from the Empire. It’s really a bit yearning to hear some of my colleagues who performed missions like that come back and boast so amazingly.”
"Well, I wish Brother Zhang that all his wishes will come true." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk about his work in depth, Link also knew that this was the decision of the other party's work, so he knew it and stopped asking further questions, turning the topic to this. The next mission came up: "Brother Zhang, can the person I go to meet this time play a decisive role in the Mao and Shahe tribes?"
"It should be able to play a decisive role. These two people are currently serving as captains of the Tiannan Army, and they are the legitimate sons of the clan leaders in their respective tribes. The reason why Lang Yongquan formed the ethnic minority army at that time was, on the one hand, to alleviate the ethnic minorities' On the other hand, he also wanted to hold a group of hostages in his own hands, especially now that the Wen family in Burma had rebelled. Lang Yongquan was even more suspicious of these ethnic minorities, so he only kept them in Tiannan County. , they are not allowed to contact the outside world at all, and a considerable amount of military surveillance is maintained. Their situation is also very difficult. They have tried their best to find a suitable excuse for this meeting." The man in black became cautious when talking about work. many.
"You won't alert the snake, right?" Link was a little worried.
"No, we have planned this meeting for a long time. The people to monitor them have been arranged, and a double insurance plan has been arranged. Brother Lin, don't worry, we have been dealing with Tiannan's internal affairs department for more than a day or two." The man in black revealed infinite confidence in his calm words.
