Princess Katrina Kaaf knows very well that the only way now is for China to make concessions and help Afghanistan withstand the British offensive, and promise to preserve the rights and interests of Afghans and respect the autonomy of Afghans, but if this is the case, what is the purpose of China's trip to troubled waters?

It's almost an unsolvable problem.

Huahuang slept until nine o'clock in the morning and got up, which is a relatively early wake for Huahuang.

Generally, Huahuang sleeps at about half past twelve o'clock in the evening, gets up at ten o'clock in the morning, sleeps ten hours a day, and sometimes takes a lunch break for about an hour at noon, however, sometimes there will be a lunch break at noon, sometimes there will be no lunch break, each accounts for half, depending on the mood of Huahuang, Huahuang always goes to the lunch break when he is in a good mood, and when he is depressed, he will find sports to exercise.

"Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kafu handed over the telegram to Emperor Hua as soon as she got up.

While dressing and grooming under the service of Jiegege and several beautiful secretaries, the Chinese emperor read the telegram and immediately said: "Okay, I didn't expect Ekazerina Klimova to move so quickly, and actually sent a small force into Kandahar, telling the negotiators that we can follow the rights and interests of the British in India, and do it equally, as long as we manage the Afghan army, as the nominal suzerainty of Afghanistan, we can retain all the existing systems in Afghanistan, we can let them govern themselves, in other words, we can manage the towns." , they keep large swaths of the countryside. That's our bottom line. ”

Princess Katrina Kafu didn't expect His Majesty to make a decision so quickly, but she still hesitated: "I'm afraid that this kind of condition is not much different from our direct inclusion in the province, and Mohammed Yakub Khan still won't agree, right?" There is intelligence that Mohammad Yakub Khan is already very inclined to compromise with Abdul Rahman Khan and then hand over Afghanistan to Abdul Rahman Khan, who himself left Afghanistan with the royal family. ”

"Why is it not so different? All things being equal, who wants to hand over power to someone else? Abdul Rahman Khan was originally a political enemy of Muhammad Yakub Khan, what is a political enemy? Political enemies just don't share the same sky, and there is no contradiction in the world that is more difficult to reconcile than political differences! If we talk about it according to this bottom line, it will definitely be possible, and there is not much difference between autonomous regions and provinces? Huahuang said: "The province is a clear system under the jurisdiction of the central government, although the autonomous region is also, but the word "district" has a neutral meaning, which is easy for the people of the autonomous region to accept psychologically. We have made concessions, and they are big concessions, and we must make this clear to Muhammad Yakub Khan. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kaaf, with her Majesty's clear instructions, hurried to call back Ekaterina Klimova.

Ekaterina Klimova in turn transferred Her Majesty's will to Vladimir Granat.

Vladimir Granat then conveyed His Majesty's intentions to Zhang Haobo in Kandahar.

Zhang Haobo looked at the telegram sent by Vladimir Granat and said to the ambassador: "This is a little easier, the autonomous region has less autonomy than the member states; In the traditional sense, individual ethnic groups live in relatively concentrated areas and have relatively primitive tribal cultures, which need to be gradually dissolved and integrated with the penetration of social culture. Based on the above two reasons, in order to cause less contradictions, the establishment of vassal states, so there were ethnic autonomous regions. There is no longer a state under the Chinese state, but there can be autonomous areas. ”

The ambassador also said: "Your Majesty has made it clear that the autonomous region is the bottom line, but I am afraid that Mohammed Yakub Khan will not agree, because what he is most afraid of is for us Chinese and their people to mix together and be assimilated by us." Your Majesty's idea is good, but I think it's still difficult, and it hasn't changed much. ”

"Your Majesty has already made great concessions, however, we can allow the autonomous regions to be autonomous again, like the British did with India, divide them into hundreds, thousands of small pieces, and let this rumor out first, and when the time comes, even if this Muhammad Yakub Khan is unwilling, those feudal lords who want to get a small piece of land will come to us one by one." Zhang Haobo smiled slyly.

The ambassador looked at Zhang Haobo in surprise and exclaimed, "Director Zhang is so smart, why haven't I thought about it?" It seems that Director Ekaterina Klimova has chosen the right person, let Director Zhang come, it is really the right person, I will let the news out immediately. ”

Zhang Haobo smiled modestly, "Although I have not been in Afghanistan for a long time, I have been to Afghanistan many times, and besides, the statistical bureau here is also under the management of Central Asia Province, and I am not ignorant of the situation in Afghanistan." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The ambassador seemed to let go of a lot of worries, and said with a happy smile, "I think Director Zhang will definitely be able to talk about success this time, and I wish Director a great contribution." ”

"You're welcome, it's all for Your Majesty, for the sake of Huaguo, let's work together." Zhang Haobo's natural way.

When Zhang Haobo and the ambassador were in full swing, they were originally looking for an opportunity to meet Mohammed Yakub Khan, but now as soon as the news went out, the whole Kandahar knew that the conditions in Huaguo had changed, and many people were tempted.

The army under Muhammad Yakub Khan is composed of the armies of dozens of lords, and the composition is very complicated, such as these regions that are not used to form a national concept, they are not unified, Zhang Haobo makes good use of the minds of the lords.

Moreover, these people under Muhammad Yakub Khan have been fighting with the British army and the Indian coercive army for more than a year, and the previous armed friction does not know when it can be traced, it has a history of one or two hundred years.

Moreover, the original ties between Central Asia and China are very close, dating back thousands of years, as long as the countries and nations that have interacted with China will naturally leave a good impression on the tradition of the Chinese ceremonial state.

Muhammad Yakub Khan originally handed over the matter of contact with China to his minister Yamrali, who heard about the change in China's policy and hurried to the Chinese embassy to meet Zhang Haobo.

Zhang Haobo and Yamrali talked for nearly three hours, and when it comes to one principle, what the British do in India, China will do, this is the bottom line, so no matter how Yamrali bargains, Zhang Haobo has always been talking about His Majesty the Emperor's bottom line.

In the end, Yamrali felt that it was really impossible for Hua Guo to give in anymore, so he left the Chinese embassy to meet Muhammad Yakub Khan.

Muhammad Yakub Khan listened to Yamrali's meeting with Zhang Haobo, and wondered: "Is this really the last condition offered by the Chinese Emperor?" I haven't heard of this Zhang Haobo before, what is his position in Huaguo? Is it an important minister? ”

Yamrali replied: "It is an important minister, he can represent Ekaterina Klimova with full powers, Your Majesty, Ekaterina Klimova is rumored to be the woman of the Emperor." ”

As soon as she moved out of Ekaterina Klimova, Muhammad Yakub Khan immediately had nothing to say, and also believed that Zhang Haobo did have a status in China, and believed that this was the last reserve price of the Chinese emperor, and women were even more convincing than brothers and sisters.

Even if Ekaterina Klimova is the sister of the Chinese Emperor, she will not have such a high status, and Muhammad Yakub Khan still recognizes Ekaterina Klimova's signboard, after all, Ekaterina Klimova has been in power in Central Asia for two years, and she is very famous, even more famous than Robert Bulwarliton, the Governor of India.

"However, this concession by Emperor Hua seems to be of little significance to us, what I am most afraid of is that the people of Huaguo will be intertwined with our people, and we will soon be assimilated by them." Muhammad Yakub Khan asked Yamrali worriedly.

"Then we surrender to the British? Isn't there still such a problem? Your Majesty, I think we can only rely on Huaguo, and it is best if Huaguo can directly send troops to fight the British! When the time comes, they will lose both, and we will have a chance, otherwise, we will not have a chance at all. Yamlali said in a sinister manner.

Muhammad Yakub Khan listened to Yamrali's words and stroked his beard in contemplation.

Yamrali continued: "Your Majesty, make a decision as soon as possible, time is running out, not only the pressure of the British army and the Indian army, I am afraid that if we wait a few more days, the clan leaders below us will talk to Hua Guo in private, and when the time comes, whether Your Majesty agrees or not, ......"

Yamrali's words were not finished, which meant that no matter whether Muhammad Yakub Khan agreed or not, maybe the leaders of the various tribes below would talk to Hua Guo, and when the time came, he would be directly elevated, his opinion would be dispensable, and it would even be possible to be killed by his subordinates.

Among the defeated army, the most dangerous is the boss!

Muhammad Yakub Khan listened to Yamrali's words and his eyes widened! "Then you go to the minister and talk to see when Hua Guo will send troops to Afghanistan if it wants to help us? How much benefit will it give us? Grain, the most important thing for us now is to ask for food, I heard, it seems that their Central Asian provinces are short of food themselves, right? ”

Yamlali was relieved to see Muhammad Yakub Khan, and he was also secretly relieved, in fact, Yamrali was ready to take refuge in Huaguo, if he could facilitate Huaguo's control of Afghanistan, he should be regarded as the first hero!

Not only Indians, Afghans and Pakistanis, as long as it is this era, the regions and nationalities without a national concept are similar, they have no psychological burden at all about who is the master, and their personal interests will always override the traditional concept. 7110
