After confirming that the Tianshui refugee affairs had been smoothly implemented according to the established plan, Li Wufeng convened more than ten of his most important military and political staff at the end of August to hold the last small-scale meeting before the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. In addition to the three chief administrators Tang, Su Qin, and Mo Lun, there are seven others including James, Yang Zhengbin, Su Minshun, Lao, Wang Zongxi, Wang Liao, and He Jing. The military includes Ling Tianfang, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mi Feng and Fielding attended the meeting, as well as the head of the security department Diao Su and the heads of the two major intelligence agencies Gu Quan and Linghu Yi. There were a total of nineteen people attending the meeting. Except for Li Wufeng himself, all of them were Li Wufeng's most important confidants and generals.
Even the unexpected situation in Heshuo did not interrupt the progress of the meeting, which shows the importance of the meeting. In the meantime, refugees from Heshuo had also begun to enter Northern Luzon via Longdong and Qingyang, or entered Myanmar via Kansai and Tiannan after undergoing routine quarantine. There were occasional outbreaks of plague patients in the middle, but because there were many people along the way, With strict monitoring and the follow-up of doctors and doctors, the plague did not spread as feared and was firmly contained within the refugee group, which made Wu Feng quite satisfied. It was not until the Hejian Incident ended that the pressure on the refugees was rarely relieved. However, because many refugees came from Heishan and Longquan, although local refugees from Hejian returned to Hejian in large numbers, these two places were still under the control of the Kaman people. So migration to Burma and Northern Luzon has not stopped.
The meeting was held in the Kansai Military and Political Envoy's Office in Hanzhong City, the capital of Kansai County. There were only three topics on the agenda: government system reform, military reform, and future development directions. The meeting lasted for seven days until a report from the Imperial Capital was received. And news about the Heshuo Incident. Yibao reported that the Emperor of the Tanghe Empire granted Li Wufeng the title of King of Qin, and formally approved the former Guanxi County Military and Administrative Envoy's Office, the Northwest County Military and Administrative Envoy's Office, the Tiannan County Military and Administrative Envoy's Office, and the Northern Luzon Governor's Office. The five areas under the jurisdiction of the Burmese Governor-General's Palace and their affiliated areas were merged into the Western Frontier Protectorate of the Tanghe Empire.
After seven days of intense discussions, everyone in the congregation reached a preliminary agreement on several agendas, especially on the division of government affairs system and administrative planning. Everyone has felt that the scope of jurisdiction has expanded compared to the original northwest county. Several times, the existing administrative regionalization seems a bit messy and disjointed, and the management authority is also different. Therefore, they all agree that the reform of the administrative management system is a top priority.
During the meeting, after receiving the empire's approval for the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was officially announced, and the administrative divisions of Wufeng's jurisdiction were comprehensively reorganized. The jurisdiction of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate is divided into Guanxi County (which has jurisdiction over eight prefectures, including the original six prefectures of Guanxi, and temporarily manages Tianshui and Hejian Prefectures, with the capital Hanzhong), and Northwest County (which has jurisdiction over eight prefectures, including The original six prefectures in the northwest also temporarily took charge of the two prefectures of Lulong and Anyuan, with the capital Qingyang), Tiannan County (administered five prefectures, with the capital Nanfeng), and Xiyu County (administered five prefectures, and the former Western Region countries were renamed prefectures, with the capital Loulan ), North Luzon County (under the jurisdiction of three prefectures, in addition to the original two prefectures of Vito and Shuangdui, the central part is centered on the Volcano Collection and the Volcano Prefecture is built, with the capital of the Volcano Prefecture), Burma County (under the jurisdiction of three prefectures, North Burma Prefecture, Myanmar Central Prefecture and Southern Myanmar Prefecture, the prefectural cities are Perth City in northern Myanmar, Labo City in central Myanmar, and Mugale City in southern Myanmar. The capital is Perth), East Tengger County (which has four prefectures, Ulan Prefecture, It has seven counties under its jurisdiction: the eastern part of the former Luobizheng territory; Huohua Prefecture, which governs the former Mote people's territory; Daqingshan Prefecture, which governs the original Tubu people's territory; Yanqi Prefecture, the original Qiur people's territory; and the capital is Huohua Prefecture).
The administrative structure of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate consists of four departments: the Government Affairs Office, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Legal Affairs Office, and the Military Affairs Office (Joint Military Staff Meeting), and three directly affiliated bureaus: the National Security Bureau, the General Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Bureau. It also establishes a public opinion agency. House of Representatives. The four major departments are in charge of administrative affairs, foreign affairs, judicial affairs, and military affairs respectively. Among them, the Government Affairs Bureau has departments responsible for various administrative affairs. The Legal Affairs Department has direct jurisdiction over the courts and supervision departments of each government. The Consultative Council serves as the guardian of the general government. It is established as a channel to understand public opinion in the areas under the jurisdiction of the government. Representatives are selected from various regions and strata to be responsible for communicating public opinion.
There is no longer a governor's office or a military envoy's office at the county level, but a single governor's office. Each county has one governor. However, there is no specific administrative organization under the governor's office. The governor's office only has a few senior staff who are responsible for assisting the governor. Take care of daily tasks. The Governor is responsible for leading and guiding the administrative affairs of the county. He is mainly responsible for the personnel supervision, inspection and management of officials at the provincial level, but does not participate in specific administrative affairs. Specific administrative affairs are handled by administrative agencies at the provincial level. In this way, the administrative power of the prefecture-level government was expanded, the administrative agencies at the county level were eliminated, and the efficiency of work was improved. The establishment of the Governor's Office ensured that the Governor's Office would supervise and guide the daily administrative affairs of each government, preventing the government from The policy direction of first-level local governments deviates from the direction set by the Metropolitan Protectorate.
Compared with the fierce debates caused by the administrative system and zoning reform, the military restructuring and expansion has been relatively smooth. With the support of food security and a large amount of funds obtained from India, both military generals and government officials have shown a rare consistency in their attitudes towards the expansion of the army, but there are differences in the number of expansions. .
Since the northern and southern fronts are facing two powerful enemies at the same time, the Western Xinjiang Protectorate needs a more powerful army to ensure the security of the territory. Wufeng currently has four legions in its territory (Northwestern Legion, Beilu Legion, etc.) The Song Army, the Tengger Army, the Southwest Army, the Nanjie Locke Army and the Indian Army (not included in the local army) and the three Guards Divisions have obviously been unable to adapt to the increasingly expanding territorial defense and severe external challenges, especially Not long ago, the battle with Machi Khan on the southern front was triggered by Sanjiang. At the same time, it encountered the invasion of the Kaman people on the northern front. The northwest army was caught off guard and was unable to mobilize enough mobile reserves for emergency response. If it were not for the nomadic cavalry traveling day and night, I'm afraid that the pain caused by the battle on Pinglu will really hurt Wu Feng to the bone.
Military expansion and reorganization seemed imminent, but Wufeng himself was somewhat hesitant on this issue. In Wu Feng's personal opinion, the army is more sophisticated than more. Excessive pursuit of an increase in numbers does not mean that the overall strength of the army has increased. In some cases, it may even lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army. However, given that his territory has indeed expanded considerably in a short period of time, and these newly managed areas are located at the border with several powerful enemies, if there is not enough military power to defend the territory, at least psychologically, the territory will be weakened. People there are worried about their own safety.
Under this circumstance, Wu Feng still resolutely rejected the proposal of several military generals to add seven to ten divisions to form a regular army, and only agreed to retain the Nanjie Locke Army and the Indian Army. Regarding the regular army establishment of five legions, this did not even reach the base for army expansion suggested by the government. It should be said that the establishment of only two army divisions was increased in quantity. This also caused concern among Ling Tian and others. Strong opposition and protests from military generals.
However, Wu Feng was stubborn on this point and left no room for negotiation. But as a supplement, Wufeng agreed to use refugees to form three reserve divisions in Tianshui and Hejian, and to form two reserve divisions in the Kansai region. In addition, Wu Feng also requested the Military Affairs Administration and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to increase the combat effectiveness training of the Army's rapid response divisions. He also requested the War Readiness Administration to speed up the upgrading and transformation of the equipment of these Army divisions to further improve the Army divisions. equipment and logistics support capabilities to promote the improvement of its comprehensive combat effectiveness and response capabilities.
At the same time, Wufeng carried out a large-scale reorganization of the nomadic cavalry and archers from the Eastern Tengger region. In order to facilitate the command of the cavalry team, Wufeng formed six light cavalry regiments according to the regiment organization in the southern part of the mainland. Each cavalry regiment Set up three 180,000 cavalry detachments with a total of 180,000 people. The control of the original nomadic tribes over the army was abolished, and it was directly controlled by itself and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Among them, there are 100,000 Mote cavalry, 60,000 Tubu cavalry, and 20,000 Qiur cavalry, except for the 2nd and 4th Cavalry Regiments, which serve as the military presence of the Western Xinjiang Governorate on the Tengger Grassland and are stationed in Ulan Prefecture. , the remaining four cavalry regiments serve as the strategic mobile force in Wufeng's hands. Two cavalry regiments are permanently stationed in Xikang, and two cavalry regiments are permanently stationed in Tianshui, maintaining the ability to respond quickly to neighboring areas. At the same time, the Qiur archers, whose number had increased to 30,000, also entered each army division in batches as a team directly under the division.
The five newly formed armies are the First Army (former Northwest Army), the Second Army (Northern Luzon Army), the Third Army (Tengri Army), the Fourth Army (Southwestern Army), and the Fifth Army (Guards). (three divisions of the army are under construction, and the other two divisions are under construction). The other two foreign legions are also fully replenished. In particular, the Indian Corps has also increased from four divisions to five divisions.
Since the issue of personnel adjustment has always been a relatively sensitive topic, although the five major legions were clarified, Wu Feng did not announce any personnel changes at the meeting. He only asked Xiao Tang, Su Qin, and Wang Zongxi to quickly complete the construction of the Protectorate and Protectorate. The establishment plan of the county-level governor's office structure lays the foundation for the next step of formal personnel appointment and work promotion.
As for the future development direction of the Protectorate of Western Xinjiang, this issue was also brought up later in the meeting. However, since most of the attention was focused on political reform and military reform, only a few people noticed this topic. Most people did not pay attention to this issue, which made Wu Feng very disappointed.
