After receiving the task, Yixuan and Zaifeng came to Yixuan's study, and they had to come up with their own plan before they could negotiate with the Xia Empire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info.com

Yixuan asked: "Prince Alcohol, this matter was proposed by you, you should already have a plan in mind, let's sum it up." ”

Zaifeng's face showed embarrassment and said: "Lord Qing, I was in a hurry, and I took into account the affairs of the border special administrative region, so I didn't think about it carefully, and I said the plan for the construction of the southern and western Xinjiang special administrative regions by the way. ”

Zaifeng's identity is special, as the younger brother of Emperor Guangxu, the nephew of the Queen Mother, Zaifeng's status is more noble than other princes, only 24 years old at this time, just to teach the Minister of Military Aircraft to learn to walk, so government affairs should still be based on Yixuan.

Yixuan was very satisfied with Zaifeng's attitude, so he said: "Ambassador Wu clearly told me that they are unwilling to take care of this matter, I feel that the main reason is that they are afraid of facing too many countries and strong strength, after all, one punch is difficult to defeat four hands, Britain, France, the United States and Russia are united, besieging the Great Qing Kingdom from all sides, plus the Hui, Tibetan and Mongolian ethnic groups who have been restless in the country, as well as the alliance that is not dead in the thief's heart, without the help of the Xia Empire, our Great Qing Kingdom is in a catastrophe this time." ”

"It's all up to Lord Qing to decide!"

"The Queen Mother is right, in the past, whether it was the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan and Russia, it was nothing more than seeking wealth, but now the situation is different, the frontier land seeks **, and the purpose of the alliance is to overthrow our Great Qing Kingdom, if they succeed, our Manchus will die and have no place to be buried."

"So the queen mother's request is that no matter how you want to negotiate with the Xia Empire, judging from the Xia Empire's past style, they have no threat to our Great Qing Kingdom for the time being, and they also really want to help us negotiate this time, so I ask the prince to be the master, just so that the Xia Empire can help us get through the difficulties again."

Zaifeng's identity and status made him want to continue the Qing Dynasty even more.

Yixuan thought for a while and said: "The ideal state is to give Hainan Island to the Xia Empire as you and the Queen Mother said, and then establish the Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Regions, so that the entire Great Qing Kingdom will be under the protection of the Xia Empire If any country wants to be unfavorable to the Great Qing Kingdom, it must first defeat the Xia Empire, if even the Xia Empire is defeated, then the Great Qing Kingdom will not be able to be saved." ”

"Therefore, this time, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia united, obviously to deal with our Great Qing Kingdom, but in fact, they still want to deal with the Xia Empire behind their backs, and this time we also suffered the disaster of the pond fish."

Yi Liang said: "Having said that, the price of letting the Xia Empire come forward must not be small, and the Xia Empire must have thought of this problem, so this is also the reason why they are reluctant to come forward." ”

"Then what should I do with what the prince wants?"

Yi Liang said: "According to what we just discussed, let's go and talk to Ambassador Wu first, and see what his tone is." ”

Wu Wenbin was very surprised by the arrival of the two princes and hurriedly welcomed him into the conference room.

After sitting down in the conference room and the service staff serving tea and exiting, Wu Wenbin asked: "The two princes are here together, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"Ambassador Wu is polite, you can't talk about it, there is a problem, this time I asked the Xia Empire for help."

"Lord Wang, please speak!"

"Ambassador Wu, what does Ambassador Wu think of the information you gave us in the morning, after careful consideration, we decided to follow the example of the current Frontier Special Administrative Region and set up the Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Regions?"

Wu Wenbin smiled and said: "Lord Wang, this is your country's internal affairs, I have no right to interfere, and it is inconvenient to make any comments." “

Seeing Wu Wenbin say this, Zaifeng was very anxious, so he asked: "Ambassador Wu, if your country can help the border special administrative regions, why can't you help build the southern and western Xinjiang special administrative regions?" “

"Lord, this is not the same, there are the interests of our Xia Empire in the north, such as our Ezo Province, Xinzhou Province, Taiwan Province and Lelang Special Administrative Region, helping you to build the Frontier Special Administrative Region is also for our own interests, to guard against the common enemy Russian Empire, and in Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang there is no benefit of our Xia Empire, we don't need to spend so much money to build Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, and Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang are far from the sea, the Empire just wants to support it because of the long distance, The traffic is inconvenient and the heart is weak. “

Hearing Wu Wenbin say this, the two instantly understood the reason why the Xia Empire helped build the Frontier Special Administrative Region, they were also for their own interests, they were using each other, not purely trying to help the Qing Dynasty, it seems that the sentence that there are only interests between countries is completely correct. And what Wu Wenbin said is also the actual situation, southern Xinjiang and western Xinjiang are too far away, and the transportation is too inconvenient, even if you want to help, it is not easy to help.

Zaifeng was still young after all, and immediately said: "If Hainan Island is given to your country, won't your country have interests in southern Xinjiang?" “

Yixuan was very dissatisfied with Zaifeng saying this, so he glared at him fiercely.

Wu Wenbin pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are giving Hainan Island to our empire, then we can only ensure the safety of Guangxi Province, and Yunnan and ** are still too far away, not to mention Western Xinjiang, we have soldiers, it is difficult to get there in a short time, or far water can't quench the thirst." “

Yi Liang asked: "Ambassador Wu, you also know the difficult situation faced by the Great Qing Kingdom this time, if there is no help from the Xia Empire, the Great Qing Kingdom will fall into war, resulting in the destruction of lives and the displacement of people, I hope you can convey the opinions of the Great Qing Kingdom to the Empire, and be sure to help the Great Qing Kingdom this time." “

"Then please explain first, how do you want us to help?"

When Yixuan and Zaifeng heard this, they felt that there was still hope, and their hearts immediately became happy, and Yixuan hurriedly said: "We hope to set up the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region in Guangxi, Yunnan and ** provinces, and set up Xinjiang and Gansu as the Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, and follow the example of the Border Special Administrative Region, and set up generals and administrators respectively. Ambassador Wu thinks it is feasible? “

"Lord Wang, I can't call the shots in this matter, I can only report your opinion to the empire, as for the result, it's hard to say."

Seeing Wu Wenbin say this, Yixuan and Zaifeng had no choice but to leave first, waiting for the news after Wu Wenbin's report.

After receiving Wu Wenbin's telegram, Zhang Wei began to consider that the area of southern and northern Xinjiang was large enough, and if it could be exhibited as colonies, the area points and population points alone would be able to meet the needs of local construction.

So he asked Xiao Yu'er: "The Great Qing Dynasty sent Hainan Island to the empire, can we ask for it, and how can I make southern and northern Xinjiang colonies?" ”

"Your Majesty, you can ask for what they send, but the Liaodong Peninsula is calculated according to Your Majesty's territory."

Zhang Wei thought that as long as he signed a lease agreement, he could use it as his own land, which would be cost-effective.

Therefore, after Zhang Wei consulted with 6 Weimin, he decided to make Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and ** as the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, set Xinjiang, Gansu and the area west of the connection from Wuliangsuhai to the southwest corner of Lake Baikal as the Western Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, and the two places of Hanzhong and Ankang in Shaanxi Province were assigned to Sichuan, so that the Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang and the Northern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region would be linked, and the governors of the two border special administrative regions must be people from the Xia Empire. Military and political officers in the precinct must be appointed by the Governor on a loan basis, which can be set at a period of 99 years.

6 Weimin asked: "Your Majesty, with such a long cycle and so much territory, can the Great Qing Kingdom agree?" ”

To be continued.
