Chapter 1405
"It seems that Zi Qin, do you mean that the time is ripe now?" Wufeng reached the topic.
"It depends on what Your Majesty thinks. Brother Xiao probably supports the time being relatively ripe. After all, Solian and Bangzhe are placed here, and the name of a protected place is also created by us. It is not clear whether it is a certain status or not. It is necessary to give these two places a clear administrative position. The people of these two places also tend to join the empire, so there is no big obstacle in public opinion. But how do we explain the Indian Kingdom? After all, they are still a kingdom now. Although even the Mishis are clamoring to withdraw from the Indian Kingdom, the structure still exists. The treaties we signed with them are still of legal significance. Incorporating the two places into the empire will bring great moral crisis to the empire."
Su Qin pointed out the heart of Wufeng. Wufeng only understood the importance of morality by taking the position of emperor. It turned out that when he was a prince, he did not have so many scruples. He was never too tired of deception, went against his word, delayed his way, and suddenly attacked these are common methods in wartime. No one would think that these actions were wrong, but now it is different. Military methods are not suitable for politics, especially in the Tang people, a nation that believes in trustworthiness and integrity. In the creed of education by the Ministry of Rites, this is important to keep the promises and keep the promises and be honest. If even His Majesty the Emperor often turned against the promises and ruined the promises without trust, how should the people comply? From a moral perspective, it is necessary to place the territory of a sovereign state as the jurisdiction of the empire. Even if it is a peaceful means, it will require the consent of the other party. But will the Indian and German Kingdom agree with such humiliating requests?
"Zi Qin, what you said is that we need to take into account the needs of the empire, but the international moral image will also affect the mentality of the people. We must also consider this. In the Indian Kingdom, that is, within the Hyderabad people, they should now be clear about their current situation. In fact, in addition to the Solian and the Pangzha, the Mishi tribes are also in a semi-independent state. As for the South Indian and Western Indians, they have never really extended their dominance to these areas. Didn't the Hansen Alliance occupy the two provinces of Kustan and Dexin? I think they have never expressed any dissatisfaction. They have already recognized this reality in their hearts. What we need now is to find a step that both sides can accept so that everyone can step down with decent."
Wufeng agreed with Su Qin's view very much. Before finding a fig leaf that both sides could accept, the empire should not include both places directly, but this work should now speed up the progress. Communication and coordination with Hyderabad people require a smart, capable and sleek expert as the coordination envoy.
"Your Majesty, I think that you can get your Excellency Paulin to intervene in this work. Although he is a soldier, his understanding of all aspects of the Indian and German region and his performance are enough to prove that he is the best candidate to deal with this matter." Su Qin recommended Paulin unwillingly. "In addition, I also think that after the war in Xize, we should also consider including the issues of South Indian and German and Western Indian issues on the agenda, so that these problems will be gradually solved when the time is ripe in the future."
"Well, I'm also considering this matter. In addition to Zangzhe and Solian, the South Indian and West Indians and the Mishi tribes can be planned according to the standards of three to four county and provinces. Whether it is the Yakuan, the Tik, or the Mishi tribe, to really establish county and provinces, it does not have to be established according to the ethnic areas, which will easily bring about some negative effects. For example, if Zangzhe tribe wants to establish county and provinces, it can completely divide the Lahore province into it. Once Solian wants to establish county and provinces, Po
Luoshang Province can also be included, disrupting the inherent pattern of these areas, and is conducive to the empire's future rule and management in these areas. We must all be clear about this. In the future, Indian and Germans will only appear in a geographical noun, and there is no substantial meaning. Instead, they will be replaced by the Tik, Zang, Solian and other ethnic groups. Like the Luobei, Burmese, Gaoyue, Mot, Wa, and Lai, they are just part of the imperial ethnic family."
Wufeng thought a little further. Since the Indian and Deans will integrate into the empire sooner or later, they need to make some preparations early. Conquest is easy and difficult to integrate. This is an eternal truth. Although the Tang civilization has great attraction to other nations, national culture and characteristics cannot be erased at once. Moreover, Wufeng does not think that the Tang civilization must be better. Only by allowing the civilization of other nations to blend and promote each other and create a more glorious era is what Wufeng hopes to achieve.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I'm afraid that few people will observe this kind of thought." Su Qin also sincerely praised. If you can be in this position, your Majesty has already used its political means. "To make these Indian and German tribes gradually recognize themselves as part of the empire's tribes, you may have to make some great efforts in cultural education. Of course, this is not a day or night, but it requires a long-term persistence. I think that promoting Tang language and Tang-style education in the Indian and German tribes is an important means, and it can be done from now on."
"Well, cultural integration and educational promotion are two horses, and neither is missing. Zi Qin said it well. We must not ignore this point. The Ministry of Culture and Education must arrange and increase investment in cultural education in the Indian and German areas. It can first list Tang language and Tianfang language as official languages with the same status, further strengthen the status of Tang language, and support Tang language education in a tendency to invest in Tang language, and build a class that uses Tang language, which can be subtly influenced from top to bottom."
Wufeng agreed with Su Qin's suggestion that culture and education are the best means to promote ethnic integration, and civil society organizations such as the Imperial Culture and Art Communication and Promotion Center will play a very obvious role. This is also the main reason why Wufeng instructed the Imperial Ministry of Culture and Education to take a variety of different means to provide secret subsidies to these civil society.
On July 13, 700, the mainland Gregorian calendar, Cui Wenxiu arrived at Hailum, the capital of Lahore, and held secret consultations with the Luzon envoy who arrived secretly. It took only one day for Luzon to reach an armistice agreement with Cui Wenxiu and reached an agreement on the transfer of more than 90,000 prisoners of Luzon and Pang Gong and Luzar provinces.
During this negotiation, the two sides created a record of speed of diplomatic negotiations and had almost no bargaining. The Luzons readily agreed to peacefully transfer the two provinces of Panggong and Luzar, and were willing to exchange gold for the captives captured by the Tang army in the Battle of Xize. During the negotiations, the Tang army also showed considerable sincerity, and even was willing to release some of the captives first to show sincerity. The Luzons also expressed that they could hand over Panggong and Luzar intact within a week.
On July 15, the two sides secretly signed a peace agreement in the famous scenic spot in Hailum City, the Datai Mausoleum on the shore of Swan Lake. On July 16, the Tang army released 30,000 prisoners in Xize and used their own transportation tools to transport 30,000 prisoners to the south all night. On July 18, the Tang army released 20,000 Luzon prisoners and used the same method to transport 20,000 prisoners to the Comini border area. So far, more than half of the more than 90,000 Luzon prisoners captured by the Tang army had been released, becoming a miracle in the history of mainland war. On July 19, the Tang army peacefully entered Panggong and completed the handover with a small number of Luzon left-behind troops. On July 21, the Tang army took over the Ruchar province in full. The second phase of the Indian-Germany War was announced to end.
The second phase of the Indian-Germany War ended with the great victory of the Imperial Army. After this battle, the Empire completely expelled the Luzon forces from the Indian-Germany region. However, 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, allowing the Luzon army to recover its military strength in a very short period of time.
As the main side of the war, the Luzon Army received unprecedented courtesy from the Tang army. In contrast, the Meli army, as a co-sponsor, encountered unexpectedly severe treatment. More than 100,000 Meli prisoners were all scattered and detained in temporary places in the provinces of Xize and Kerman, and refused to meet with the Red Cross Department of the Principal of Meli. On the third day after the Battle of Xize, the commander of the Empire's Front Army in Central China clearly stated in an interview with mainstream newspapers in the Indian and German regions that the Empire would not turn a blind eye to those countries and forces that joined the war between the Empire and Luzon for no reason. Since they joined the war, they must be mentally prepared to pay the price. The Empire will use force to fight back against those countries and forces that are hostile to the Empire. At the same time, more than 200,000 imperial troops gathered on the front line of the Leibo Province, and put on an attitude of pushing the war to the Meli territory in the south.
On July 28, 700, the commander of the Mainland Front of the Empire, Cui Wenxiu, the commander of the Central Continental Army of the Empire, was interviewed by Ms. Caroline, a famous journalist of the Principal of Meli, while inspecting the Leibo Province to watch the military exercises conducted by the garrison, and strongly stated in an exclusive interview with Ms. Caroline, a famous journalist of the Principal of Meli, saying that if the Principal of Meli did not give a satisfactory explanation of the reasons for the Imperial Army's military operations for no reason, the Empire would have to use iron and blood to prove that the Empire's interests and status in the Central Continent cannot be challenged.
