Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

"Honest?" Li Guangzong half-smiled, "I'm afraid I used it in the wrong place."

Xu Shichang: "..."

Li Guangzong said simply: "If people in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets, just setting up a new government, and the area is not enough for our leader to turn around."

Thinking about Zhao Chuanxin's elusiveness, traveling hundreds or thousands of miles a day, Xu Shichang wiped away the cold sweat, and he was really right.

Having said that, Xu Shichang could not let Li Guangzong lead the way. He said earnestly: "Xing Dao, please note that this appointment does not focus on ability or reputation. The court has its own concerns. In economic terms, killing is even more important on the battlefield. If we work together to block it, it will be a pity that all your years of hard work will be ruined."

Judging from the fact that they have made concerted efforts to mobilize all forces to boycott Zhao Chuanxin's industry this time, they are indeed serious about it.

Zhao Chuanxin made them anxious.

After not hearing a reply from Li Guangzong for a long time, Xu Shichang continued: "Xingdao, on the battlefield, Zhao Tangong is invincible. But in practice, it cannot be solved by fighting and killing. You can't put a knife to your neck and force people to do business, right? …”

He's right.

But Li Guangzong didn't speak because he was looking down at the map.

I rubbed my fingers on the map, and smoothly connected the area on the left bank of the Ergun River to Lubin Prefecture in a line, dividing the whole area.

By the way, my finger slid to the left again, including the four Khalkha alliances.

Li Guangzong suddenly asked: "Governor Xu, General Ulia Sutai and Minister of Affairs Kulun, are the constraints on the Four Khalkha Alliance still strong?"

General Ulia Sutai is similar to General Shengjing before the reform of Guanwai, integrating military and political affairs.

The minister of affairs was in charge of border affairs, mutual markets, justice, inns, and communication with Tsarist Russia. The main positions were held by Manchus, while the deputy positions were held by Mongolian princes and Taiji.

Xu Shichang was still chattering and was stunned by Li Guangzong's words. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's pretty solid. Why do you say this in practice?"

"It's nothing." Li Guangzong said: "Tsarist Russia is watching with eager eyes and has encroached on Kobdo many times. Three-tenths of it has been occupied. The Japanese are not good at heart either, and are ready to move behind the scenes to instigate the Mengqi rebellion. General Ulyasutai , in my opinion, we can only take into account Tangnu Ulianghai. If we don’t set up another general position, not too many, we can connect it from the left bank of the Ergun River to Lubin Prefecture, plus Teha and Suo Lun, Barhu, and other places, all to the west as far as Kulun, are all under the jurisdiction of the newly appointed general."

"..." Xu Shichang broke into a cold sweat.

He also had a map at hand.

This is incredible, good guy, before I always heard that Tsarist Russia was encroaching and invading, but now Zhao Chuanxin’s number one butler Li Guangzong has begun to plot to rebel and invade Tsarist Russia.

And I want to incorporate the Chechen Khan tribe in Outer Mongolia under the rule, which is a big appetite.

This may be a joke coming from other people's mouths.

But for Zhao Chuanxin, I can only say that he is a basic man.

Even though he knew Li Guangzong couldn't see him, Xu Shichang couldn't help but shake his head: "General, that will definitely not happen..."

Li Guangzong interrupted him: "Governor Xu, Cixi and other powerful countries want to force the head to leave the Central Plains. The price of a single prefect is far from enough."

Xu Shichang said: "The imperial court does not hesitate to appoint more deputy generals from the left and the left. If it can add more generals, Tsarist Russia will be wary and will definitely obstruct it."

Li Guangzong spread his hands and said: "Then break the soil and become the king. The grassland is so big that there should be at least one and a half more princes and nobles."

"I once mentioned that the court only gave a four-word reply - absolutely impossible!"

"What about Governor Heilongjiang?"

"To be honest, the imperial court can appoint Zhao Tanggong as the prefect of Heilongjiang, or even give me the governorship to him, but do you really think it is appropriate? I must tell you that the imperial court is currently negotiating with the great powers, and Tsarist Russia is not involved in it."

Xu Shichang said it very sincerely.

Li Guangzong: "..."

He understood what Xu Shichang meant.

It was impossible for the Qing court to confer a title of king.

The general can set it up and the governor can provide it, but the problem is that this three-thirds of an acre of land comes into contact with Tsarist Russia on a large scale. First of all, Tsarist Russia will not give up and will definitely cause trouble for the Qing court - you are deliberately joining forces to cause trouble for me, right?

Secondly, with Zhao Chuanxin's temperament, Heilongjiang Province might directly go to war with Tsarist Russia!

As for the position of governor of the three provinces, it is not impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to start a war with both countries at the same time outside the customs... Whether he can win or not, he will never swallow his anger.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Xu Shichang said helplessly: "I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Governor Xu, please speak."

"The prefect is still the prefect. Teha, Solon, and Barhu are all under the jurisdiction of Lubin Prefecture, with the Hulunbuir City Military Preparatory Road as the boundary. To the north, as you said, the left bank of the Ergun River... I can report it The imperial court has drafted a secret decree. If Zhao Tangong can manage Lubin Mansion well, what's the problem of extending the jurisdiction to the west to Kulun? The place under his jurisdiction will be autonomous!"

In fact, Xu Shichang didn't really believe that Zhao Chuanxin could really manage that troubled place.

Even the name Lubin Mansion is not worthy of its name.

What's more, the geographical location of Lubin Mansion is very embarrassing. Manchuria was originally official land and was donated to Tsarist Russia by the Qing government for free. It is now affiliated with the China Eastern Railway.

Originally, Lubin Mansion could be located there, but now it not only needs approval from the China Eastern Railway Administration, but also needs to pay land rent.

Pay rent to others on your own land?

The Qing government could not afford to lose that person, and Tsarist Russia would not allow it.

Moreover, Xu Shichang also learned in detail that in the year of the Gengzi Incident, Tsarist Russian soldiers destroyed the Karen there, and the cardkeepers fled one after another.

Lubin Prefecture needs to resume its responsibility of guarding the border, but it has to face the situation of having no cards to guard.

The boundary Obo there is a pile of stones that demarcates the boundary. Many of them have been destroyed, resulting in unclear boundaries and frequent frictions.

As a result, tasks such as recruiting people to reclaim wasteland, setting up taxes, and gathering refugees will become arduous. No one is willing to farm on a land where tensions are rising every day.

Zhao Chuanxin has never proven that he has the experience to govern a party. Even if he can be given a general position, he may end up in disgrace.

Worried that Li Guangzong would not agree, Xu Shichang added: "Furthermore, the sentiments of the four Khalkha alliances are different. The court has spent hundreds of years subtlety, and there are still dissatisfaction. Not to mention Zhao Tangong's violent methods, I am afraid there will be It is better to force some people to the side of Tsarist Russia for nothing than to do it step by step."

Anyway, if Zhao Chuanxin can't cure Lubin Mansion by then, he may not have the shame to ask for more territory.

He should first be comforted and then complete the tasks assigned to him by the court.

To be honest, Li Guangzong knew that Zhao Chuanxin actually knew a lot and was smart enough. But he didn't think that Zhao Chuanxin, who was accustomed to being a hands-off boss and had a lazy temperament, could calmly manage a party.

As long as you add a recliner to Zhao Chuanxin's home, it will definitely become swollen. In Lugang Town, Zhao Chuanxin always lay down and listened to Li Guangzong's work reports. Like a toad in autumn, it pokes and jumps.

He bargained, firstly, he had to do this so that the Qing court could not feel that they could manipulate them at will.

In addition, he wanted to give Zhao Chuanxin a bigger name.

At least it sounds awesome.

In fact, Li Guangzong didn't have the confidence to refuse, he was just pretending. Zhao Chuanxin is so staunch, at best he will be destroyed together.
