"It seems that Ziqin, do you mean that the time is ripe now?" Wu Feng went straight to the point. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It depends on what Your Majesty thinks, Brother Xiao probably supports that the time is more ripe now, after all, the two departments of Solian and Punja are placed here without yin or yang, and the name of a protected place is also our originality, and it is not clear what status it is, nor can it be clarified, it should be given a clear administrative position for these two places. The populace of both places also tended to join the empire, so there was not much of an obstacle to public opinion. After all, they are still a kingdom, and even the Mish are clamoring to withdraw from the Indian Kingdom, but the structure still exists, and the treaties we signed with them still have legal significance, so rashly incorporating the two places into the empire will bring a great moral crisis to the empire. ”

Su Qin's words pointed at Wu Feng's heart, Wu Feng is an important surname to understand morality when he sits in the position of emperor, it turns out that when he is a prince, he does not have so many scruples, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, and they go back on their word and delay the army. Surprise attacks are the usual means in wartime, no one will think that there is anything wrong with your behavior, but now it is different, military means are not suitable for politics, especially in the Tang Nationality, a nation that believes in faith and righteousness, the Ministry of Rites issued an article of faith and honesty in the education of the people, this is an important one, if even His Majesty the Emperor is often out of his word and breaks his promises, then how to require the people to obey it? From a moral standpoint, to bring the territory of a sovereign state under the jurisdiction of the Empire, even if it is a peaceful means, it requires the consent of the other side, but will the Indean Kingdom agree to such a humiliating request?

"Zi Qin, you are right, we need to take into account the needs of the empire at home, but the moral image in the international arena will also affect the mentality of the people, and we must also take this into account. In fact, in addition to the two tribes of Solian and Punjab, the Mish tribe is already in a state of half-reading, as for the South Indian and Western Indian Dean, they have never really extended their rule to these regions, and the Hansen Alliance now also occupies the two provinces of Kustan and Desin. I don't think they have ever expressed any dissatisfaction, they have already admitted this reality in their hearts, and what we need now is to find a step that is acceptable to both sides, so that everyone can step down with dignity. ”

Wu Feng very much agreed with Su Qin's opinion, until a fig leaf acceptable to both parties was found, it was not appropriate for the empire to directly include the two places, but this work should be able to speed up the progress now, and communication and coordination with the people of Hyderabad required a shrewd and capable skilled hand with smooth wrists as a coordination envoy.

"Your Majesty, I think that His Excellency Pauling can be intervened in this work at the moment, although he is a soldier, his knowledge of all aspects of the situation in the Indean region and his performance are enough to prove that he is the best person to deal with this matter. Su Qin recommended Pauling uncompromisingly, "In addition, the minister also thought that after the First World War, the problems of South India and West India should also be considered in the agenda, so that these problems can be gradually resolved when the time is ripe." ”

"Well, I'm also thinking about this matter, in addition to Punjab and Sorian, South India and West India and the Mish can be planned according to the standard of three or four counties, whether it is the Yakuans, the Tiks, or the Mish, if you really want to establish a county, you don't have to build it according to the ethnic areas, it is easy to bring some negative effects. For example, if the Punjab wants to establish a county, then it can be completely included in the province of Lahore, and once the Solian wants to establish a county, the province of Polo can also be included, disrupting the inherent pattern of these areas, which is conducive to the rule and management of these areas in the future of the empire. The Lai people, like these peoples, are just part of the imperial national family. ”

Wufeng thinks further, since Yin De'an has to integrate into the empire sooner or later, then he needs to make some preparations early, conquest is easy to integrate and difficult to integrate, this is the eternal truth, although the Tang civilization has a great attraction to other ethnic groups, but the national culture and characteristics can not be erased at once, not to mention that Wufeng does not think that the Tang civilization must be better, only let the civilization of other nations and the Tang civilization blend and promote each other, and create a more glorious era, this is what Wufeng hopes to achieve.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I am afraid that few people will notice such thoughts. Su Qin is also sincerely admired, to be able to occupy this position, this majesty has been used in political means perfectly, "To make these Indean tribes gradually recognize themselves as a part of the empire, I am afraid that we have to make some efforts in culture and education, of course, this is not an overnight effort, but it needs to be persisted in for a long time, I think that the implementation of Tang language and Tang style education in the Indean region is an important means, and it can be done from now on." ”

"Well, cultural integration and education promotion, these are two carriages, one is indispensable, Ziqin said well, we can not ignore this point, the Ministry of Culture and Education must have a good student arrangement, increase investment in culture and education in the Indean area, you can first list Tang language and Tianfang as the official language of the same status, further strengthen the status of Tang language, invest in the support of Tang language education with a tendency to surname, and build a class that uses Tang language, which can be imperceptible from top to bottom. ”

Wu Feng agreed with Su Qin's suggestion that culture and education were the best means to promote ethnic integration, and that the Imperial Culture and Art Dissemination and Promotion Center, a civil society organization, would play a fairly obvious role, which was the main reason why Wu Feng instructed the Imperial Ministry of Culture and Education to use a variety of different means to give secret subsidies to these civil organizations.

On July 13, 700 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Cui Wenxiu arrived at Hylum City, the capital of Lahore, and held secret consultations with the Luzon envoy who had secretly arrived in advance.

In this negotiation, the two sides set a record for the speed of diplomatic negotiations, and with little bargaining, the Luzon people readily agreed to the peaceful transfer of the provinces of Pongon and Ruchar, and offered to exchange gold for prisoners captured by the Tang army in the Battle of Xize. During the negotiations, the Tang side also showed considerable sincerity, and was even willing to release some of the prisoners in advance to show sincerity, while the Luzon side also said that it could hand over Pongon and Ruchar intact within a week.

On July 15, the two sides secretly signed a peace agreement at the Grand Tayling on the shore of Swan Lake, a famous scenic spot in Hylum City. On July 16, the Tang army released 30,000 prisoners in Xize, and used its own means of transport to transport 30,000 prisoners to the south overnight, and on July 18, the Tang army released 20,000 Luzon prisoners of war again, and used the same means to transport 20,000 prisoners to the Komini border area, so far, more than half of the more than 90,000 Luzon prisoners captured by the Tang army have been released, becoming a miracle in the history of continental warfare. On July 19, the Tang Army entered Ponggong peacefully and completed the handover with a small number of Luzon remaining troops. On July 21, the Tang Army took over the province of Ruchar. The second phase of the Indo-German-Announcer War was declared over.

The second stage of the Indo-Ann War ended with a complete victory for the Emperor [***], after which the Empire completely expelled the Luzon forces from the Indoan region, but the Empire also retained the main force of the Luzon Army to the greatest extent and handed over more than 90,000 prisoners to the Luzon side, so that the Luzon Army was restored in a very short time.

As the main party in the war, the Luzon army received unprecedented courtesy from the Tang army, while the Merry army was treated with unexpected harshness as an accomplice, and more than 100,000 Merry prisoners were scattered and imprisoned in temporary places in the provinces of Nishizawa and Kerman, and were denied access by the Red Cross Department of the Duchy of Meli. On the third day after the Battle of Xize, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Continental Front in China made it clear in an interview with the mainstream newspapers and periodicals in the Indean region that the Empire would not turn a blind eye to those countries and forces that had joined the war between the Empire and Luzon for no reason, and that since it had joined the war, it must be mentally prepared to pay the price, and that the Empire would use force to fight back against those countries and forces hostile to the Empire. At the same time, the imperial army of more than 200,000 was fully assembled on the front line of Leibo Province, and put on a posture of advancing the war to the territory of Meli in the south.

On July 28, 700 in the Gregorian calendar, Cui Wenxiu, commander of the Continental Front in the Empire, was inspected in Leibo Province and watched the military exercises conducted by the garrison, in an exclusive interview with Ms. Caroline, a well-known journalist of the Principality of Merry, and strongly stated that if the Principality of Merry did not give a satisfactory explanation of the reasons why the Principality of Merry joined the military action against the emperor for no reason, the empire would have to use iron and blood to prove that the interests and status of the empire in the Central Continent could not be challenged.

At the same time, at the invitation of the Principality of Merry, the ambassadors of the Kingdom of West Oran and the Kingdom of Deland to the Principality of Merry arrived in the province of Leibo and began to intervene in the mediation of the war.
