Chapter 953: Flexibility

On December 16, after noon, in a tent in the border city of Gubeikou, the negotiations between China and Turkey to appease Anton officially began. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The primary content of the negotiations is the redistribution of Anton's power and interests, and how to divide the responsibilities and rights related to Anton, which is the basis for negotiations between the two sides, without which the negotiations cannot continue.

The conditions put forward by Middle-earth are that after Anton's annexation, the military, political and financial powers will be handed over, and militarily, Anton's existing army will be subordinate to the Twelve Guards and undertake the task of suppressing Anton, and administratively the counties will be divided into two-level administrative divisions of counties and counties, and the counties will accept the leadership of the central government, and the financial power will also be divided between the central and local counties.

Anton's condition was that Anton would be a feudal autonomic. Since it was a vassal domain, of course, it had complete autonomy, and the military, government, and financial power were in its own hands, and it was responsible for defending the country, and correspondingly, the central government had to support and protect the vassals while recognizing and accepting Andong as a new vassal.

The conditions of the two sides are very different, and the disparity is too great to be negotiated at all.

However, due to the severe situation in the country and the heavy pressure from the palace, Duan Da had to bow his arrogant head and give in first, and on the basis of the administrative divisions at the county and county levels, the Donghu tribes could govern themselves in their own residential areas.

Anton scoffed. Li Zixiong solemnly reminded Duan Da that Andong is outside the Saiwai and is the habitat of the Donghu tribes, for example, Anzhou is the residence of the Xi people, south of the weak Luoshui is the residence of the Khitan tribes, and the north of the weak Luoshui is the residence of the Xi tribes, and the Han surname, the Chinese surname and the Turkic people are the real minority groups in Andong.

"If you don't know Anton, we can give you a detailed introduction, and give you enough time to go to Anton for on-the-spot investigation and verification, and then wait until you have discussed properly and come up with new negotiation conditions, and then you and I can sit down and negotiate, how about it?" Li Zixiong sneered, "On the contrary, if you clearly understand Anton, but you ignore the facts and come up with this unrealistic negotiation condition, it can only show one point, you have no sincerity at all, and there is no need for negotiation between you and me." ”

Duan Da sneered, "If you don't know the specific meaning of appeasement, we can explain it in detail." The so-called appeasement is to ask Anton to submit to Middle-earth, to be loyal to Middle-earth, to be loyal to the Holy Lord and the center, not to ask for a vassal whose name is a courtier who is actually a prince. You are weak and weak, but you are arrogant and do not measure your own strength, and you vainly try to cut off your possession and claim hegemony, how can you have half of your sincerity? ”

The two sides were at loggerheads, each refusing to give in, and the dispute was extremely fierce.

Cui Hongsheng decisively dissuaded, and then questioned Anton, "Since Andong is the habitat of the Donghu species, and you and the Turks are a minority group, how can you claim the autonomy of the domain in Andong?" How to ensure the stability of Anton? ”

"The so-called autonomy of Anton is the autonomy of various ethnic groups." Yuan An immediately explained, "We have an idea, that is, to set up an Anzhou Governor's Mansion in Andong, which will be autonomous by the Han surname and the Han surname, and set up three more Governors, namely the Songshan Governor's Mansion autonomous by the Xi people, the Raole Governor's Mansion governed by the Khitan, and the Songmo Governor's Mansion governed by the Turks and the Xia people. From the perspective of Anton's actual situation and Anton's long-term stability, the decentralization of autonomy and the autonomy of various ethnic groups are the most practical and in line with the interests of all parties. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately fiercely attacked by Duan Da's side.

Judging from historical experience, this idea of the Anton side has considerable limitations. If this idea wants to achieve the goal of stabilizing Anton, first of all, it needs a powerful Middle Earth, an incomparable Middle Earth that sweeps in all directions, there is no opponent in the world, only a strong one can deter the captives, otherwise the autonomy of each ethnic group is equivalent to fighting for each other, a plate of scattered sand, and the Turks barely controlled the Donghu races before, as long as there is a mutation, this reluctant control suddenly collapsed, and the captives and wolves rushed to the ground, and they were defeated.

Li Zixiong's side did not show weakness and fiercely refuted. If the autonomy of various ethnic groups cannot solve the problem of stability in Anton, then the division of counties and counties will be even more foolish and dreamy, and it is purely on paper, without any possibility of practical operation.

At dusk, the two sides parted unhappily and agreed to talk again tomorrow.

Duan Da and the others returned to Gubeikou, and Pegasus rushed to Yanle City to report the negotiation process to Yuwen.

After listening to Yuwenshu, he did not comment, but just waved his hand and asked them to go back to rest.

Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng were full of food and wash, and were about to go to bed, when they suddenly received a message from Yu Wenshu, asking them to discuss tomorrow's negotiations.

The three of them gathered, and Yu Wenshu took out the Holy Lord's edict, "I just received it this afternoon, you can take a look first." ”

The edict was concise and to the point, and it was necessary to be flexible in terms of Anton's autonomy, and it was necessary to achieve the goal of appeasement within the predetermined time. And this meaning is also obvious, that is, he was forced to agree to Anton's autonomy requirements, first get the martial arts of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, first help the Holy Lord and the center to alleviate the current situation of internal and external difficulties, and then the specific negotiations can be delayed, and it will be delayed until the beginning of the Third Eastern Crusade, the main force of Anton's army will expedition to Liaodong and step into the trap set by the Holy Lord and the center, then just wait for the goal to be achieved, Anton's strength will be greatly reduced, and the Holy Lord and the center will completely control Anton without much effort, and then you can kill and take it and do whatever you want.

The plan is a good plan, the risk does not seem to be big, the basic victory is in hand, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, once this plan fails, Anton creates another miracle, with the help of the rapid development of the Third Eastern Crusade, the Holy Lord and the Center steal chickens and rice, but help Anton form a situation of secession and hegemony, which will inevitably hit the authority of the Holy Lord and the center, causing a bad political impact, and then someone will come out to take responsibility, and Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng, who are in charge of negotiations, bear the brunt of the doom. As for Yu Wenshu, as long as the Holy Lord is in power, he is a political "tumbler", just imagine what a crime it was to defeat the First Eastern Crusade? The result? Yu Wenshu is still the number one military boss in power and opposition, still the absolute henchman of the Holy Lord, and still the core member of the highest decision-making level in Middle-earth, which is enough to explain the problem.

Duan Da's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.

Cui Hongsheng's expression was grim, and the more he thought about it, the stronger the sense of foreboding in his heart became.

Cui Hongsheng was keenly aware from this edict that the palace had made a new assessment of the situation in Anzhou and the Northeast, which should have originated from the latest report from Gubeikou, and the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition in Anzhou must have given a great shock to the Holy Lord and the center, making them realize that Anton's strength is developing rapidly, and the variables of appeasement have greatly increased, and the only countermeasure is to speed up the appeasement, and the only way is to make greater compromises and concessions, but it is absolutely impossible for the Holy Lord and the center to make concessions on issues of principle, and it is absolutely impossible to grant Anton autonomy, That's why there is this edict that is "vague" at the key point, but very clear in terms of purpose.

Why is the key point "vague"? What are the upper and lower limits of flexibility? Obviously, this is a deliberate and deliberate means of shirking responsibility by the Holy Lord and the Center. If the executor does a good job and has a good result, everyone will be happy, on the contrary, as long as the result is not good, no matter what efforts the executor makes, he must bear all the responsibility caused by this.

Why should the Holy Lord and the Center shirk their responsibilities? Apparently no good results were already expected. Why pessimistic forecasts? From the standpoint of the Holy Lord and the Center, it is absolutely impossible to grant Anton autonomy, in other words, even if Yuwenshu, Duan Da, and Cui Hongsheng succeed in appeasing Anton and exchange autonomy for Anton's subordination, the Holy Lord and the Center will not recognize this appeasement promise. It is not difficult to deduce from this that the Holy Lord and the Central Committee wanted to rebel on autonomy, so they used the negotiation to deliberately deceive Anton, and used the results of the negotiation to lure Anton into jumping into the trap, intending to kill two birds with one stone. In this way, everyone has merit for success, and there is motivation to calculate Anton from top to bottom, on the contrary, if it fails, the scapegoat is Yuwenshu, Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng, the three negotiators, and Yuwenshu and Duan Da are all cronies of the Holy Lord, and it is Cui Hongsheng who suffers in the end, so the situation is obvious, the pressure of this appeasement negotiation actually falls on Cui Hongsheng alone, Cheng is also Cui Hongsheng, and Cui Hongsheng is defeated, which forces Cui Hongsheng to a dead end.

Cui Hongsheng was depressed and angry, and was also greatly impressed by Li Fengyun's "foresight", thinking of Li Fengyun and Cui's secret cooperation since many extraordinary predictions, Cui Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh, the tiger father has no dog son, Li Delin is a generation of sages, and his descendants, whether Li Baiyao or Li Pingyuan, are all contemporary masterpieces, and there will be great achievements in the future.

Cui Yu and Cui Jiuli traveled all the way to Chifeng in the northeast to personally visit Li Fengyun, and the biggest achievement was to win a chance for Cui Hongsheng to reverse the crisis. Cui Hongsheng was a little hesitant at first, deeply skeptical of Li Fengyun's prediction, and very cautious about the cooperation between the two sides, but now seeing this edict and looking at the attitudes of Yuwenshu and Duan Da, Cui Hongsheng had to admit that Li Fengyun's prediction was right, and he really jumped into the trap of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and became a lamb to slaughter, and now in order to save himself, he has to take risks.

Yu Wenshu didn't give Duan Da and Cui Hongsheng too much time to think, "Time is urgent, the task is heavy, we must discuss the result tonight, and we must finalize the bottom line of this negotiation." ”

Duan Da said without hesitation, "Autonomy cannot be compromised, and once compromised, the blow to centralized power will be too great, the impact will be extremely bad, and the consequences will be extremely serious. ”

Cui Hongsheng stroked his long hair and was silent.

Yuwen Shu and Duan Da both looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

"The so-called flexibility, to put it bluntly, is to do whatever it takes to achieve the end." Cui Hongsheng's eyes showed disdain, "Since you are unscrupulous, what do you care?" Of course, if you can deceive, you can deceive, first deceive Anton, first get the martial arts of opening up the territory, first solve the urgent needs of the Holy Lord and the center, and then try to continue to deceive, delay and prevaricate, and use all means, as long as the Anton army is deceived to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, the overall situation can be determined, and Anton can be regarded as safe. ”

"What's going to happen?" Yu Wenshu immediately asked.

"It's all about being flexible." Cui Hongsheng pretended to be profound, "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, if we don't give Anton autonomy, we won't be able to trick Anton's army into the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, so autonomy must be given to Anton, but how to give it, then it will have to be flexible." ”

"How to be flexible?" Yu Wenshu asked.
