Behind me is the earth

Chapter 278 276. Treaty of East Tower

The army instructor looked at his lord with anxiety.

Until Ren Pingsheng walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently: "What's your name?"

The army instructor's heart was beating with anxiety, but he still stamped his feet and saluted, saying: "Back to my lord, General Chen Boli!"

"Graduated from military academy?"

Ren Pingsheng asked with a smile.

Seeing the governor's gentle smile, Chen Boli felt relieved and felt blessed: "Going back to the principal, I am a first-year student at the Yuntai Military Academy, studying under Brigadier Zhou Ming. He is studying military theory, political propaganda and other subjects. He has not graduated yet!"

It turns out that he didn’t go to university to further his studies, but was admitted to the military academy from middle school.

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said encouragingly: "That's right, follow Brigadier Zhou to see the world. Study hard in the future and only after graduation can you show off what you have learned."

"You must live up to the principal's teachings!"

With the encouragement, Chen Boli couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Ren Pingsheng smiled and said: "When the photos are developed, send me one so I can see how your photography skills are."

"yes!"

Chen Boli's eyes became even more excited. The Lord knew his name and gave him a chance to contact him again. This is not Jane in the Emperor's Heart!

The first day of negotiations passed quickly without a final outcome.

Four days passed, and finally on the fifth day, the two parties signed the final terms on the East Tower, forming the East Tower Treaty.

"1. The war is over. Both sides have withdrawn their troops, and the war has ended."

"2. Boundary delineation. Outside Dongyang County, the territorial waters within 30 miles belong to Dongyang County. The sharks are not allowed to enter the territorial waters of Dongyang County without any reason, and are obliged to restrain sea monsters from entering the territorial waters of Dongyang County."

"3. Conclude alliances. Dongyang County has concluded a friendly alliance with the Huanhua and Jiangnv tribes. Both parties shall not infringe on each other's territory and sovereignty for any reason; the Huanhua and Jiangnv tribes are obliged to help Dongyang County's merchant ships go to sea without being disturbed by the Hai tribe. They will also provide paid assistance to Dongyang County’s merchant ships going to sea; when necessary, the Huanhua and Jiangnu tribes will cooperate with Dongyang County to attack the Dongying tribe and its affiliated tribes; the Huanhua tribe is obliged to assist Dongyang County in combating Xue’s pirates and safeguard the maritime order."

"4. Treaty port. Black Bear Island, five miles outside Dongyang County, is open for mutual trade between the human race and the sea race. They can trade with each other and exchange what they have."

"5. War compensation. The Huanhua and Jiangnu tribes will compensate Dongyang County with goods worth 20 million taels of silver, which will be repaid in ten years. The specific proportion will be negotiated within the Huanhua and Jiangnu tribes."

"6. Redemption of prisoners of war. Each prisoner needs to be redeemed with 1 million silver. He is appointed as a friendly envoy to Yuntai County for a study tour."

"7. Environmental protection. Dongyang County has the obligation to identify the source of black water discharge and control the black water discharge to ensure that it will not cause serious pollution to the living environment of the Donghai Hai people..."

Ren Pingsheng sat in the courtyard and looked at the signed treaty.

Among the provisions, there are many benefits to our own side.

Whether it is war reparations or prisoner ransoms, they have made a huge war fortune.

It also ensured the safety of merchant ships sailing from Dongyang County.

It was also determined that the Huanhua and Jiangnu tribes would restrain the Dongying tribe and ensure the safety of the coastline.

The trade on Black Bear Island has also expanded more trade channels. There are definitely many good things in the underwater world. In the future, more industrial products can be used in exchange for the resources and treasures of the underwater world.

Finally, the retention of Yu Nasha as a hostage and the management of the Black Water reduced the possibility of the Huanhua Tribe breaking the treaty to a certain extent.

What a win!

Ren Pingsheng put the terms on the table aside: "Publish the East Building Treaty in the newspaper, and conduct extensive publicity on the causes, conditions, negotiations and other details of the war."

This retaliatory war was fought beautifully. It can be said that it boosted the morale of the entire human race. The extensive publicity can strengthen Yuntaiwei and himself in the entire Wuzhou Province and even the entire Jing Dynasty. North Korean influence.

Xiao Wan nodded and said to Liu Shiping, chief of the Secretariat Section of the Capital Command Department: "This is a copy of the East Tower Treaty. You can send its contents to the Le County Propaganda Department and ask Ren Nuan to arrange it for widespread publicity."

"OK!"

Liu Shiping nodded, bowed to Ren Pingsheng, and then retreated.

He followed Lu Yingying to Qingcheng to serve as deputy mayor. Originally, after Lu Yingying was promoted to the magistrate of Qingshui County, Liu Shiping should have been the mayor of Qingcheng, but Liu Shiping's foundation was there. Although he got some training in office, Qingcheng Town was different. Generally speaking, it is difficult to play well without sufficient skills.

But after all, Liu Shiping, Liu Wen and Liu Wu came out of Liujia Village with Ren Pingsheng, and Ren Pingsheng could not do without him.

He was transferred to the Commanding Department Yamen as the head of the secretarial department, and continued to hone his abilities under his own eyes. Fortunately, Bingbing Liu just has a weak foundation and is not unmotivated. Now he is exposed to various difficult problems every day and his abilities have improved rapidly. It will not be long before he can be entrusted with important tasks and go out to serve as an official.

"Chief Liu."

"General Zheng."

Zheng Fangxing walked in just in time and met Liu Shiping who was just going out.

After coming in, Zheng Fangxing saluted Ren Pingsheng, sat down, and said with a smile: "My lord, in addition to reporting on the work this time, Fang Xing also wants to ask my lord, what should we do after the third division?"

He already knew the reason why the Lord transferred his three divisions to Dongyang County.

The war with the Hai Clan is one aspect, but a more important aspect is the substantial occupation of the entire Dongyang County and bringing Dongyang County under the lord's command.

However, there is still an issue of "degree", which must be clarified in order to facilitate future actions within the rules and not disrupt the overall layout of the lord.

"Military occupation is imposed and the political system is suspended."

Ren Pingsheng explained: "To control the entire Dongyang County military is to actually occupy it. Once something bad happens to us, we can immediately implement military control."

"I see."

Zheng Fangxing already had a score in his mind.

After Zheng Fangxing left, Xiaowan asked strangely: "Master, why don't we directly occupy Dongyang County? This is obviously a good opportunity. Even the local people welcome Yuntaiwei's arrival."

"I have now helped the local people resist the attack of the sea monster. I am loved by the local people and will also be praised by public opinion. This is a good thing that can win the hearts of everyone in the world.

However, if I directly send officials to make drastic changes to the officials in Dongyang County, and replace all the main officials with my people, it will be no different from raising a flag to rebel, and I will inevitably suffer a lot of criticism from public opinion.

Although we are engaged in rebellion now, we still need to pay attention to methods and methods. While taking full control of Dongyang County, we must secretly replace Dongyang officials. Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, this process can also make the transfer of local political power more stable and will not be criticized by public opinion.

Before we raise the flag to rebel, we must slowly plan for it.

unless······"

Ren Pingsheng looked towards the south.

"Unless what?"

Xiaowan asked curiously.

"Unless I have caught something about Governor Wang of Fuzhou County, which gives me enough reasons to distrust Dongyang officials and Wuzhou officials, and to replace Dongyang County officials."

Ren Pingsheng walked to the door, pushed open the window, and supported the window with a fork pole: "The entry of the army is actually an extension of the political tentacles. From the county government office to the county government office in Dongyang County, who dares to really ignore Yuntai Guards? "

In the next few days, Zhou Ming, one division and one brigade, prepared his army, left Yunmeng County by boat, and returned to Qingcheng Town. Zheng Fangxing's Third Division began to mobilize frequently, stationing troops in various counties in the name of protecting the local area.

In the war against sea monsters, most of the people in Dongyang County had already dealt with the Yuntai Guards, who had strict military discipline and were humble and courteous.

Seeing the arrival of Yuntaiwei, people in all counties celebrated warmly and lined the streets to welcome him. When the army entered the county town, the streets were empty, and there was unprecedented enthusiasm for the arrival of the Yuntai Guards.

For the people of Yuntai County, they have no concept of upper-level struggle or political games. They simply want a safe and stable Dongyang County, and they just want their lives to be safe and stable without having to suffer from the sea or the sea. Threat of war.

The heroic spirit and tenacious combat effectiveness of Yuntaiwei when facing the sea monsters, and the strict military discipline when facing the common people all satisfied their imagination of safety and stability.

Although the East Building Treaty has been signed, some bunkers along the coast are still under construction. Whenever fishermen see the soldiers on duty in the watchtowers, they feel a sense of security, and the image of Yuntaiwei becomes more and more popular.

When the time came to the end of September, after two consecutive days of heavy rain, and the weather began to slowly turn into autumn, Ren Pingsheng left Dongyang County and returned to his loyal Yuntai County.

Because the mountain road was difficult to walk, Ren Pingsheng and his group of more than 500 people chose to ride horses.

But the daylight was not good. Halfway through the journey, the sky became overcast and drizzle fell continuously. The team marched, looking quite embarrassed.

When we returned to Le County, it was already evening. The clouds in the sky had stopped drizzling and were blown away by the wind, revealing a golden-red glow.

"The new moon is already rising outside the flying birds, and the setting sun is setting in the west."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the sun outside the western sky, which had gradually set under the cliff in the distance. The refracted light was still reflecting the golden clouds all over the sky. In the eastern sky, a crescent moon had already hung, and two birds flew through the sky together without leaving any traces.

"drive!"

Ren Pingsheng pinched the horse's belly, and the horse immediately ran forward and entered the county seat of Le County amidst the salute of the defenders at the city gate.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"The sea monster from Dongyang County landed and massacred the city of Daze County!"

"Shocking the world, the Hai Clan launched a massive attack on humans and actually massacred everyone in Daze County!"

"The Sea Tribe is so ferocious, how can humans resist it?"

"Regardless of life and death, fight for the human race!"

"Excuse me! Commander Ren is risking everything to fight for humanity!"

"Revenge! Revenge!"

"How many people from our human race have been killed by the Sea Clan? What exactly is the Sea Clan?"

"Excuse me! Yuntai Guard killed 100,000 enemies! Defend Yunmeng County!"

"The Yuntai Guards killed 100,000 enemies! Forced the Sea Tribe to retreat! The East Tower Treaty was signed! The human race won a great victory! Long live the Yuntai Guards! Long live Governor Ren! Long live mankind!"

"Wuzhou Monthly will give you an in-depth interpretation of the "Donglou Treaty"!"

Following Ren Nuan's move, the entire Wuzhou Province's propaganda system quickly began to work hard.

Wuzhou Monthly, Qixin Half-Monthly, Shilin Public Opinion, Storytellers, Big-Character Posters... All parties worked together to form a joint force, and the propaganda was overwhelming. In just a few days, it reached the government offices. , scholars, gentry, down to the traders, footmen, and farmers in the villages, almost everyone is talking about the invasion of the Hai Tribe and the Treaty of Donglou.

Because this news is so exciting.

There have been reports intermittently before that the fish in the sea have become intelligent, can speak, and have led armies to attack the land, and also massacred human beings. In the past, rebellions rarely spread to Wuzhou Province, but now they are attacked and massacred by fish from the sea?

How could this not cause panic throughout Wuzhou Province? Of the seven counties in Wuzhou Province, three are along the sea! Who is not afraid that he will be killed by those fish?

Moreover, not only in Wuzhou Province, but also in the Southern Valley Province where the news was delayed, the people were also very panicked.

Now, Yuntaiwei has won a great victory, killing countless enemies, and with the power of victory, forced the Sea Clan to sign the "East Building Treaty" that is beneficial to mankind. This is simply the highlight moment of the human race!

They didn't know that the large number of dead sea monsters were miscellaneous soldiers flooding the sea. They only knew that the human race had been bloody massacred and suppressed by the sea race. They knew that the Yuntai Guards had killed more than 100,000 enemies and had succeeded in revenge! All I know is that the Hai Tribe compensated a large amount of deposits, and the Dongying Tribe, the culprits of the massacre in Daze County, paid the price of death!

Great!

This brought them to a collective climax.

The people along the coast eagerly looked forward to the protection of Yuntai Guards.

But Wang Anguo, who was walking in plain clothes in the streets of Fuzhou County, broke into a cold sweat!

That Ren could achieve such infiltration and stir up such public opinion in his life frightened him greatly!

He has never seen this kind of manipulation of public opinion and transmission of information throughout history——

This is unprecedented.

"It can't go on like this, it definitely can't go on like this!"

"Go and call Wen Bo, Hu Sun and Gao Shuang!"

Before Wang Anguo arrived home, he sent his personal followers to summon the governor Wen Bo and his master Hu Sun.

Soon after he arrived home, Wen Bo and Hu Sun came to his bamboo garden one after the other. Finally, Gao Shuang, the plump eunuch of Wuzhou Province, also came to the Zhuyuan on a sliding pole.

After the four of them sat down and chatted for a while, Wang Anguo brought the topic to Ren Pingsheng.

"Nowadays, the public opinion in Shilin is biased towards Ren Pingsheng. This man is very ambitious and is very good at attacking the heart. From my perspective, newspapers such as Wuzhou Monthly and Qixin Banmonthly are the ones that can best influence the discussion of Shilin. They must be Knock it off!"

Wang Anguo knew that since the last assassination was unsuccessful, Ren Pingsheng had been completely offended. As he acted, he no longer had the scruples he had before, and no longer did any secret tricks, and just ended up doing it himself.

"good!"

Gao Shuang praised it.

Last time, Ren Pingsheng killed the people he sent to Hutian Port and threw their heads at his home, causing him to lose face externally and money internally. At this time, Wang Anguo's method of suppressing Ren Pingsheng was of course Extremely supportive!

The order was quickly issued to all counties, except for Yuntai County, and a targeted battle quickly began.
