In the entire Chaohui Hall, all eyes were focused on Qin Feng, and everyone was waiting for Qin Feng to express his stance.
Qin Feng also knew very well that the relationship between Daliang and Beidi was a real issue that could not be avoided.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate and just said what he was thinking.
"Daliang is my country. No matter what happens, I will be loyal to Daliang and will never waver!"
"And Beidi is the country of my fiancée Jing Qianying. Even for Jing Qianying's sake, I will not easily attack Beidi again."
"Since I'm stuck in the middle and can't help anyone, then I won't help anyone at all!"
"The northern border and Sangzhou will always serve as a buffer zone between the two countries. The armies of both sides will never enter this land."
"As long as the two sides are not bordering each other and the armies cannot come into contact, then there will never be a war."
"Once the war breaks out, the people will always suffer. I, Qin Feng, am weak alone. I cannot save all living beings with my own power. Therefore, the only thing I can do is to prevent the spread of the war."
Stop the war…
These words came out of Qin Feng's mouth, which seemed a bit harsh.
After all...who in the world doesn't know that Qin Feng is good at killing?
Qin Feng doesn't care about the opinions of the most people. He only needs to adhere to the principle of "kill to stop killing". Only if everyone is afraid of him will the war not spread easily.
"Beijing and Sangzhou will continue to take orders from Daliang in terms of business, economy and people's livelihood."
"Only the military will adopt an independent approach."
"No matter whether the army comes from the south or the north, I will attack you head-on!"
The smile on Emperor Liang's face gradually froze, and Qin Feng's answer was definitely not what Emperor Liang wanted to hear.
The answer that Emperor Liang was most looking forward to was Qin Feng's absolute loyalty to Daliang. As long as Emperor Liang gave the order, he would lead the army and attack Beidi.
But now, Qin Feng wants to take military independence, which will undoubtedly be out of Daliang's control.
In this way, the safety of Daliang's border completely rests on Qin Feng.
Even if Qin Feng swears allegiance to Daliang, he cannot eliminate the risk, because Qin Feng is still alone after all. If he is gone, who can restrain this powerful force in his hands?
"Qin Feng, of course I believe you."
"The civil and military ministers also believe in you."
"But for many things, just believing is not enough."
"Once the northern border implements military independence, it is equivalent to leaving the safety of the country and the country under the control of outsiders. As the saying goes, unpredictable things happen. If an accident occurs in the future, wouldn't it mean that the entire country will be buried with it?"
Qin Feng had long expected that Emperor Liang would think so.
This is not to blame Emperor Liang. After all, as a monarch, he needs to think about the overall situation.
This is not a contradiction between Qin Feng and Emperor Liang, but a natural contradiction between national and regional independence. No one would easily agree to Qin Feng's "unreasonable request."
The two most powerful forces in the North and Sangzhou are the economy and the military.
The best way is to hand over all military command to the imperial court, while favoring Beidi in terms of economics.
In this way, Daliang can feel at ease, and Beidi can also use this economic power to recover.
It seems to be a situation of great joy.
But……
Problems also arise. Once the military power is occupied by Daliang, the buffer zone strategy will exist in name only.
Once the Eagle Party takes power, it can station troops to the north at any time and launch an attack on Beidi from the north.
Same reason!
If Beidi wants to take back Sangzhou, Daliang will have to send troops to the north after launching an attack.
By then, the grievances between the two countries will continue forever, and all the sacrifices and efforts made during this period will be in vain.
It is conceivable that in the next long period of time, both Daliang and Beidi will try their best to control the northern border and Sangzhou.
And this is one of the problems Qin Feng has to face.
Qin Feng knew very well that the next national policy of Liang was to deal with the powerful families in the south. Even if Emperor Liang was reluctant, he would never put pressure on Qin Feng at this juncture.
Qin Feng could have avoided this problem, but now that it was brought up, he would have to face it sooner or later.
Qin Feng didn't want to escape.
He took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Liang, and said softly: "War is always the final solution."
"The war has just died down and no one wants another big war."
"Even if it's for the sake of the people, it's time to recuperate."
"Beidi's national strength has been almost emptied. In less than ten years, it will be impossible to return to its former national strength."
"Next, Daliang will have to face the battle in the southern border. After just experiencing the national war, it will continue to fight in the southern border. The loss of manpower and the consumption of national power are also big problems."
"I believe that within ten years, there will never be another war between Daliang and Beidi."
"I can make a statement to His Majesty."
"First, within ten years, I will find the best solution. If I cannot find it, I am willing to voluntarily give up power."
"Secondly, if one day I suddenly become seriously ill and there is no qualified heir, then everything in the north will be returned to the imperial court. In the same way, Sangzhou will also return to Beidi."
"Thirdly, I will never expand the army and will only retain the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade as a regular army."
"The Beixi Expeditionary Brigade alone wants to capture the numerous fortified cities and towns in Daliang. It is no more than a dream. But if Daliang wants to take over the northern border militarily, the Beixi Expeditionary Brigade will also respond. At the same time, this expeditionary brigade will Troops can also deter Beidi."
"Fourth, the Northern Territory will be open to Hei Weisi, allowing His Majesty to collect intelligence on the Northern Territory."
"But Beixi County and Sangzhou are still Heiwei's forbidden areas."
"At the same time, Heiwei is not allowed to establish any replacement agency in the north, nor does he enjoy any real power."
"If Heiwei wants to form gangs and fight openly and secretly in the north, I will still carry out a general purge of Heiwei."
"Fifth, I will always be a subject of Daliang. Unless your Majesty wants to attack the northern border, I will always obey your Majesty's orders."
Qin Feng mentioned five insurance measures in one breath, hoping to gain the trust of Emperor Liang in exchange for ten years of respite for the people of the world to recuperate.
Emperor Liang did not answer in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt about Qin Feng's loyalty to Daliang. These five commitment statements are already the best way to calm the situation now.
Emperor Liang knew that he had to give up as soon as he could.
But at the same time, the northern border cannot be independent forever, otherwise it would be irresponsible for Daliang.
ten years!
Emperor Liang nodded solemnly: "I will give you ten years!"
The officials present had been holding their breath for fear that Qin Feng and Emperor Liang would break up. Seeing that the monarch and his ministers finally reached an agreement, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
