Wu Wenbin signed an agreement with the Great Qing Kingdom, and this matter is over.

After signing the agreement, Wu Wenbin made a suggestion to Yixuan, "Lord, the first step of the kingdom's plan is to defeat the Japanese first, and then find an opportunity to clean up Tsarist Russia. My opinion is to appoint a governor of northern Xinjiang to coordinate and manage border affairs. ”

"Who are the ambassadors?"

"The prince laughed, I have only been here for a long time, and most of the time I am still busy with disaster relief and building schools, how can I have the spare time to take care of this matter, and besides, this is your internal affairs, and I am not good at interfering. But I have some suggestions. ”

Yixuan chuckled in his heart, thinking, you still want to control the northern Xinjiang, and you still say it so nicely, no, the main drama is coming, and he hurriedly said: "Ambassador Wu, please speak." ”

When Wu Wenbin saw the change in Yixiao's face, he knew that he had a bad speculation, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, my opinion is to establish two official positions: the frontier administrative officer and the frontier general, the general cannot interfere in administrative affairs, and the administrative officer must not interfere in military affairs. There are provinces below, and there are provincial governors and provincial governors, and the governors and governors are of the same rank, and they are also separated from civil and military, supervising each other and containing each other; The advantage of this is that it is easy to manage, and it is not easy to have accidents, I don't know what the prince wants? ”

Hearing Wu Wenbin say this, Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it was just a suggestion, not an interference, and his face immediately looked better. On second thought, this is indeed a good way to prevent the governor of the frontier from sitting alone and making it difficult to control it in the future. He replied: "The ambassador's suggestion is really good, but it is still difficult to exercise, and the selection of these two people is very troublesome, don't look at it as a frontier land, but the area is vast, the population is large, and the power is huge, and there must be many competitors, which needs to be considered as a whole." ”

Wu Wenbin said: "Lord, this is not simple, civil officials must be from Hanlin, honest and honest, fair, and extremely capable people are selected; Military generals must have the experience of studying abroad, preferably in Germany, not counting those who study in Japan, they must be honest and honest, have high military quality, have good command, and have a strong will, and other conditions are minor problems. As long as those in power are not selfish, the candidates are not simple? ”

"Ambassador Wu, this civil official is a good choice, but why did this military general choose to study in Germany?"

"Lord, now the war is not the same as before, now the artillery fires, more than ten miles away can hit the enemy, not even the face can be seen, and only when the artillery is almost blown up will the infantry and cavalry, and the best country in artillery and infantry is Germany, most of the other countries are based on Germany, such as Japan, what they learn is nondescript, so I recommend studying in Germany, they understand what modern warfare is, and communicate well with the instructors of our Lanfang Kingdom. I don't want to study in Japan because there are too many party members, and I am afraid that they will be busy recruiting party members and affecting their training. As for honesty and integrity, it is the most basic requirement, people's desires can never be fully satisfied, people must learn to restrain themselves, if the selfishness is too heavy, even honesty and honesty can not be done, if you sit in these two positions, the temptation will be more, then can he resist? If you can't resist it, can you keep it over there? We don't want the ground we have regained to be re-occupied. “

It seems that the Lanfang Kingdom really hopes that the Great Qing Kingdom is good, and he said to Wu Wenbin gratefully: "Thank you so much Ambassador Wu's suggestion, you have considered it very carefully and comprehensively, and we will adopt Ambassador Wu's suggestion." “

After the separation, Yixuan immediately rushed to the Summer Palace to report to Lafayette about the signing of the agreement, and in addition, he also informed Lafayette of Wu Wenbin's suggestion.

After listening to Yixiao's report, Lafayette was first very satisfied with the agreement signed, which was the most beneficial agreement signed for so many years to the Qing Dynasty.

For Wu Wenbin's suggestion, Lafayette feels that the method is very good, and now it is because the power of the governor is too large and there is no containment, which has caused several southern provinces to be under the control of the imperial court, or so good, the civil and military attaches supervise each other and contain each other, it seems that there are still capable people in the Lanfang Kingdom.

"Lan Fang Kingdom's suggestion is good, do you have a candidate for this administrator and general now?"

"If you are a civil official, Xu Shichang, the Minister of Military Aircraft, is now competent, and there is no suitable candidate for the military general for the time being."

"Well, it's still a long time, and then slowly investigate and investigate."

In the palace of Shangjing City, Zheng Daoyou, Lu Weimin, Li Zhaoshui, Li Minmin and Hua Guoqiang were deliberating.

Hua Guoqiang first said: "Your Majesty, this agreement was signed too hastily, and many things were not specified in the agreement. “

Zheng Daoyou knew that this agreement was signed by Zhang Wei, and there were many things in it that were not fully considered, with Zhang Wei's level, it was already very good to be able to sign this agreement with Wu Wenbin, and other things were not indicated in the contract, but increased the space for future operations. He was afraid that Hua Guoqiang would say too much, so he took over and said: "Other things are small problems, and they will be added slowly as the situation changes. As long as our troops are in the northeast, all problems will be under our control. “

Lu Weimin said: "Who do we support? Who to support? Who will be able to unify China in the future and put an end to the emergence of warlord separatism, what do you think now? “

Hua Guoqiang said: "I'm afraid that the people who support us will beat us in the future, and it will be troublesome." “

Lu Weimin said: "No one is a fool, if we can help him get on the horse, we can pull him off the horse, and then he will know that we are strong, and he will definitely not dare to make trouble with us." “

Intelligence Minister Li Minmin spoke at this time: "Then this is easy to do, I have 2 candidates, one is Yuan Shikai, whose reputation in Beiyang is unparalleled, with good skills and strong organizational skills; The other is Duan Qirui, who is good in all aspects, is Yuan Shikai's subordinate, studied in Germany, studied artillery, is honest and honest, has a good military literacy, and now his prestige is not as good as Yuan Shikai, and his desire for power is very strong, what I am worried about is that after Yuan Shikai's death, his descendants will not be able to suppress Duan Qirui. “

Li Zhaoshui said: "What is the level of Yuan Shikai's children? “

Li Minmin said: "There is nothing to brilliant. ”

Lu Weimin said: "It doesn't matter if the child is not level, no one dares to oppose us if we are there." At present, the choice can only be Yuan Shikai, but I don't know what he thinks. ”

Li Minmin said: "I have great ambitions, and I am waiting for opportunities. ”

Lu Weimin made the final decision: "Your Majesty, with the current prestige, choosing Yuan Shikai is the most simple, direct and effective person, let's contact him first to see what his attitude is, and then we will decide." ”

Zhang Wei knew that his judgment was not as good as these people, and he was originally inclined to Yuan Shikai, since this was the case, he would push the boat with the flow, "Then first follow the opinion of Chief of General Staff Lu, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will first let Wu Wenbin communicate with Yuan Shikai to see what he thinks." In addition, the funds for the warships sold this month have not yet been in place, and it is still necessary to wait for the funds to be in place before launching a war against Japan, and the specific matters will be discussed in a few days when a special meeting on the war against Japan is convened, and after we go back, we will refine the war plan against Japan in detail. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
