Section 116 Reform
After confirming that Tianshui refugee affairs had been implemented smoothly in accordance with the established plan, Li Wufeng convened more than ten most important military and political aides under his command at the end of August to convene the last small-scale meeting before the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate. In addition to the three directors of Xiao Tang, Su Qin and Moron, there were seven people, James, Yang Zhengbin, Su Minshun, Rao, Wang Zongxi, Wang Liao and He Jing. The military included five people, Ling Tianfang, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxi, Mi Feng and Fielding. The security department head Diao Su, and Gu Quan and Linghu Yi, heads of the two major intelligence agencies. A total of nineteen people attended the meeting. Except for Li Wufeng himself, they were all the most important confidant aides and generals of Li Wufeng.
Even the sudden change in Heshuo did not interrupt the meeting, which shows the importance of the meeting. During this period, refugees from Heshuo had already undergone routine quarantine and began to pass through Longdong, Qingyang and Northern Luzon, or through Kansai, and into Myanmar. There may be plague patients in the middle. However, due to strict surveillance and the follower of the doctors, the plague did not spread as much as they were worried, and were firmly pressed into the refugee group, which made Wufeng quite satisfied. Until the end of the Hejian Incident, the pressure on refugees was less relieved. However, since many refugees came from Montenegro and Longquan, although local refugees in Hejian returned to Hejian in large numbers, these two places were still under the control of the Kamans, so the migration work to Myanmar and Northern Luzon did not stop.
The meeting was held in the Guanxi Military and Political Jiedushi Mansion in Hanzhong City, the capital of Guanxi County. There were only three issues: government system reform, military reform and later development directions. The meeting lasted for seven days until it received the Feiqi Post Office from the imperial capital and the Heshuo Incident. The post report said that the Emperor of the Tanghe Empire granted Li Wufeng the title of King of Qin, and formally approved the agreement that the former Guanxi County Military and Political Jiedushi Mansion, the Northwest County Military and Political Jiedushi Mansion, the Tiannan County Military and Political Jiedushi Mansion, the Northern Luzon Governor's Office, and the Myanmar Governor's Office and their affiliated areas were merged into the Western Front of the Tanghe Empire.
After seven days of intense discussion, the congregation reached a preliminary consensus on several agendas, especially in the division of government affairs system and administrative planning. Everyone had already felt that the scope of jurisdiction has been expanded several times compared to the original northwest county, and the existing administrative regionalization division seems a bit messy and disconnected, and the management authority is also different, so they all agreed that the reform of the administrative management system is an urgent task.
After receiving the approval of the empire to agree to the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was officially announced, and the administrative divisions of Wufeng's jurisdiction were completely reorganized. The jurisdiction of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate was divided into Guanxi County (the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of the former Guanxi Six Prefectures and the temporary management of Tianshui, Hejian Two Prefectures and the capital Hanzhong), Northwest County (the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of the former Northwest County and the temporary management of Lulong, Anyuan Two Prefectures and the capital Qingyang), Tiannan County (the five prefectures under the jurisdiction of Nanfeng), Western Region County (the five prefectures under the jurisdiction of the former Western Regions were renamed as prefectures, and the capital building was the capital building.
Lan), Northern Luzon County (the capital of the three prefectures, except for the former Vito and Shuangdui, the central part built a city with the Volcanic Gathering as the center, and the capital of Volcanic Palace), Myanmar County (the capital of the Three Prefectures, Northern Myanmar Prefectures, Central Myanmar Prefectures, and Southern Myanmar Prefectures, are the capital of Perth City, northern Myanmar Lapo City, southern Myanmar Mugal City, and the capital of Perth City), and Eastern Tengri County (the capital of the Four Prefectures, Ulan Prefectures, which are under the jurisdiction of the former Luobei expedition in the eastern part; Spark Palace, which is under the jurisdiction of the former Mot; Daqingshan Prefectures, which is under the jurisdiction of the original Tubu people; Yanqi Prefectures, which is the former Qiuer people; Spark Palace, which is the capital of Spark Palace).
The administrative body of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate has four major offices, including the Government Affairs Office, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Legal Affairs Office, and the Military Affairs Office (Joint Meeting of Military Affairs Office), and three directly affiliated bureaus of the National Security Bureau, the General Administration of Intelligence and the Military Intelligence Bureau. Another public opinion agency is the Advisory House. The four major offices are in charge of administrative affairs, foreign affairs, judicial affairs, and military affairs. Among them, the Government Affairs Office has departments under the category of administrative affairs, while the Legal Affairs Office directly governs the hearing and supervision departments of each government. The Advisory House is established as a channel for understanding public opinion within the jurisdiction of the Protectorate. It selects representatives from each region and strata to communicate public opinion.
The county level is no longer a county magistrate's office or a military governor's office, but a single governor's office is established. Each county has one governor, but there is no specific administrative agency under the governor's office. The governor's office only has a few senior staff members, responsible for assisting the governor in handling daily affairs. The governor is responsible for leading and guiding the administrative affairs of the county, mainly responsible for personnel supervision, inspection and management of officials at the first level of the government, but does not participate in specific administrative affairs. The specific administrative affairs are operated by the government-level administrative agencies. This expands the administrative power of the government-level government, abolishes the county-level administrative agencies, and improves service efficiency. The establishment of the Governor's office ensures the supervision and guidance of the daily administrative affairs of each government, and prevents the policy orientation of the local government at the first level of the government from deviating from the direction determined by the Great Protectorate.
Compared with the fierce debates caused by administrative system and division reform, military reform and expansion are relatively smooth. With food security and a large amount of funds obtained from India and Germany as a backing, both military generals and government officials have shown a rare consensus on the expansion of the military, but there are only differences in the number of expansions.
As the situation has emerged that the north and south sides are facing two powerful enemies at the same time, the Western Front's Great Protectorate needs a stronger army to ensure the security of the territory. The four legions in Wufeng's current territory (Northwest Legion, Northern Luzon Legion, Tengger Legion, Southwest Legion, South Jeroke Legion and Indian Legion are not included in the local legion) and three guard divisions have obviously been unable to adapt to the expanding territorial guards and severe external challenges. Especially, the southern front was not long ago due to the Sanjiang, which was invaded by the northern line at the same time, and the Northwest Army caught off guard could not draw out enough mobile reserves for emergency response. If it weren't for the nomadic cavalry going day and night, I was afraid that the pain brought by the battle of Pinglu would really make Wufeng's pain hurt.
The expansion and reorganization of the army seems imminent, but it is precisely on this issue that Wufeng himself is a little undecided. In Wufeng's personal opinion, the army is not strong enough, and excessive pursuit of the increase in quantity does not mean that the overall strength of the army will increase, and may even lead to the decline of the combat effectiveness of the army. However, given that his territory has indeed been greatly expanded in a short period of time, and these newly included areas are in the border with several powerful enemies. If there is not enough military power to defend the territory, at least psychologically will make the people in the territory feel worried about their own safety.
Under this circumstance, Wu Feng still firmly rejected the proposal of several military generals to increase the regular army of seven to ten divisions, and only agreed to retain the regular army of five corps except for the Nanteluoke Legion and the Indian German Legion. This did not even reach the base of expansion proposed by the government. It should be said that the number of troops was only increased by two army divisions, which also aroused strong opposition and protest from military generals, including Ling Tian.
However, Wufeng was stubborn on this point and had no room for negotiation. But as a supplement, Wufeng agreed to use refugees to form three reserve divisions in Tianshui and Hejian, and to form two reserve divisions in Kansai area. In addition, Wufeng also asked the Military Affairs Office and the Joint Military Staff to increase the combat effectiveness training of the rapid response divisions in the Army Corps, and also asked the Battle Readiness Office to speed up the upgrading and transformation of these Army Division equipment, further improve the army division equipment and logistics support capabilities, and promote the improvement of its comprehensive combat effectiveness and response capabilities.
At the same time, Wufeng carried out a large-scale reorganization of nomadic cavalry and archers from the East Tengger area. In order to facilitate the command of the cavalry team, Wufeng formed six light cavalry regiments according to the corps in the south of the mainland, each cavalry regiment set up three 10,000 cavalry teams, totaling 180,000 people. The control of the original nomadic tribe over the army was abolished and directly controlled by itself and the Joint Military Staff Conference. Among them, Mote cavalry 100,000, Tubu cavalry 60,000, and Qiuer cavalry 20,000. Except for the Second, the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, as the military presence of the Great Protector of the Western Front on the Tengger grassland, the other four cavalry regiments were stationed in Xikang as the strategic mobile troops in Wufeng's hands, and two cavalry regiments were stationed in Xikang, and the two cavalry regiments were stationed in Tianshui, maintaining their rapid response ability to neighboring areas. At the same time, the Qiuer archers, which had increased to 30,000, also entered the army divisions in batches as direct teams of the divisions.
The five newly formed legions are the First Legion (formerly Northwest Legion), the Second Legion (Northern Luzon Legion), the Third Legion (Tengri Legion), the Fourth Legion (Southwest Legion), and the Fifth Legion (Three Divisions of the Guards, and the other two divisions under construction). The other two foreign legions are also fully equipped, especially the Indian and German Corps has also increased from four divisions to five divisions.
Since personnel adjustment issues have always been a relatively sensitive topic, although the five major legions were clarified, Wufeng did not announce any personnel changes at the meeting. He only asked Xiao Tang to work with Su Qin and Wang Zongxi to quickly complete the construction of the Protectorate and the County-level Governor's Office, laying the foundation for the next step of formal personnel appointment and work promotion.
