The new era is different from the old era. In the current political environment, the word "autonomy" means that the territory is separated from the central government's jurisdiction, independently appointed, independently governing the army, and having complete judicial independence. No behavior is subject to central interference.

Is autonomy a division? No.

Split is a complete treason. To establish a new country by one is like the Northern rebels who regarded themselves as the "Northern Revolutionary Army".

So, what is the essential difference between autonomy and division? The answer is, no.

Autonomy is a unilateral declaration, not a request for instructions, which directly surpasses the approval of the Chang'an Central Committee.

In name, the autonomous region still belongs to the border of the Red Blood Empire, but in fact it is no different from division. The Chief Executive appointed himself, the army governed himself, and even the judicial power is in his own hands. What else can the Chang'an Central Committee do to you? Nothing can be done.

Autonomy is not division, but it is only one step away from division and is unimaginable. It has no name for division, but it has the reality of division.

When Jiang Zong defected to the north, he fought in the name of autonomy, and then formed the northern rebels in three months and completely divided.

It can be imagined that for Leng Yuan, who was born in a general, how determined this decision was to be consumed. It is ironic to say that she scolded her mentor as a traitor at the Quadrass Conference of Noah's Ark, and even fought the Northern Expedition at all costs twice, quelling the rebellion that had lasted for half her life. In the end, it was her turn to rebel.

The autonomy initiative was not unexpected to the Eagle Banner generals. The words they wanted to say repeatedly but dared not say before were nothing more than "rebellion" in Hongwu's mouth. Autonomy is a weakened version of treason, within everyone's psychological expectations.

But even so, when the Eagle Banner generals were actually starting to discuss this topic, the Eagle Banner generals were still a little guilty. This was a matter of walking on the cliff with tightropes. On the left, the strong wind of high political pressure in Chang'an was blowing, and on the right, the strong wind of public opinion among the people was blowing. Below was the cliff that would die after falling. Even if he died, he had no one in his body, so he could only step on the wire and struggle.

Because this was the highest meeting, Mo Gu was called back a few days ago. She was the first to stand up and said firmly: "I am willing to sacrifice my life to follow any resolution of the general."

Zhou Liangcheng also stood up: "I am willing to sacrifice my life to follow!"

More and more generals stood up: "We are willing to sacrifice our lives to follow!"

Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Leng Yuan's eyes became deeper and there seemed to be a fire in her pupils: "Okay, since that's the case, then we..."

"Wait! How could this matter be so hasty decision?!" It was abrupt, and a person who had never expected anyone to speak.

Leng Yuan looked over and couldn't help frowning: "Shunsheng?"

Everyone focused their eyes on Li Shunsheng. His face was solemn, his fists were tightly clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "General, have you considered it carefully? If you take this step, it would be a stigma for all ages."

Leng Yuan smiled briefly and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Why, am I being scolded less?"

Some laughter in agreement sounded around him. Li Shunsheng's expression did not change, and he still said solemnly: "The so-called autonomy is not called division, but it is doing division. If you do this, what is the difference between you and the generals of that year?"

"Li Shunsheng! You compare the general to a dead person, what is your intention?!" A irritable general of the Eagle Banner stood up and shouted sternly, "You imply that the general is a traitor?!"

"I didn't say that. I just hope that the general will not go to that point." Li Shunsheng looked at Leng Yuan and said deeply, "Chang'an is so strict with the northern border, it is nothing more than worrying that the Eagle Flag Army is not easy to control. It is just to consolidate the power of the central government. It will naturally stop when the checks and balances are completed. But if we really play the card of autonomy, wouldn't it be a confirmation of the reputation of self-respecting troops?"

The Eagle Banner General sneered: "We soldiers discuss matters, what are you, a cooking butler, who is involved in it?"

Li Shunsheng said silently: "The housekeeper who cooks is reading more books than you and has a higher education than you."

The Eagle Banner General was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You!"

Lieutenant General Sun Yong, who was in charge of the royal capital garrison, stood up and said with a serious expression: "I think Colonel Li Shunsheng is right. Autonomy can indeed exert a sigh of anger, but if you think about it carefully, it will not benefit us. Instead, it will be more suspicious of Chang'an. You will also be criticized by the people and lose the hearts of the people."

The Eagle Banner General snorted coldly and said, "When the generals came to the north, the people responded to each other. His true defection was like this. What are we worried about?"

Li Shunsheng shook his head and said, "This is not a concept. The defection of the zong was against the flag of saving the country. The empire was facing internal and external troubles. There was a federal army in the south, and the people in the north were in a high position to adapt to the emotions and the mass base was solid. But we can't do it, and we can't give the flag of saving the country. Destroy the cube and save humanity? It's too far away. The people don't believe this, but instead they will resist this because of the decline in living standards, making it difficult for us to move forward."

The general of the Eagle Banner showed murderous aura on his face: "What are you afraid of when you resist? Suppress it if you resist! The people's hearts are a piece of plasticine. As long as you have enough strength, what shape you want to make? Didn't it rely on the people's hearts to wipe out Chu Linfeng back then? If you don't accept it now, the army will send you to station to suppress the chaos, and then send some relief food to give benefits. Slap a sweet date, what can't be suppressed?"

Li Shunsheng said helplessly: "Your thinking is wrong. You don't treat civilians as human beings, but treat them as pigs and dogs. Do you think civilians are all memories for three seconds? Just give some benefits after bullying them? They will remember any bad things you do, endure them until you can't bear it for a day, and everywhere will rise up, and you and I will die without a place to bury them."

Mo Gu stared at Li Shunsheng coldly: "After talking for a long time, are you just trying to express your objection?"

Li Shunsheng also looked at Mo Gu without hesitation and said, "Yes, I object."

Lieutenant General Sun Yong, the commander of the royal capital garrison, stood beside Li Shunsheng and said, "I also object to it."

Major General Zhao Zhongjie, the commander of the Second Division of the Eagle Flag Army, stood behind Li Shunsheng: "I also object to it."

Major General Wang Meng, director of the Political Department of the Wangdu, stood behind Li Shunsheng: "I also object to it."

...

Someone stood behind Li Shunsheng one after another and expressed his objection. Those who could attend the highest meeting were those with real power, and no one should be underestimated. These opponents combined were an extremely huge force. Without their cooperation, the huge machine of the Eagle Flag Army would be unable to move forward.

"Bang." Leng Yuan was holding the water cup in her hand, but at this time it had already burst under the huge grip force. Anger was burning in her pupils, staring at Li Shunsheng and the opponents behind her. Leng Yuan obviously didn't expect so many people to oppose it, and the leader was his Eagle Banner General.

Leng Yuan's hand pierced into the glass, bleeding. The black bones on the side took out the medicine box from the space bag and silently helped Leng Yuan treat the wound. She looked at Li Shunsheng and the opponents behind her and said coldly: "Li Shunsheng, the purpose of soliciting opinions is to unite everyone and set the morale of the army, rather than really asking you. The general has already made a decision in his heart."

Li Shunsheng said without being humble and arrogant: "I hope the general can listen to opinions from many parties calmly, rather than the passionate and passionate spirit."

After hearing this, Leng Yuan clenched her fists tighter, and some of the glass that had not yet been taken out was pierced deeper, and blood flowed all over the table. From her expression, it can be seen that Leng Yuan was on the verge of furiousness and could hardly bear it.

lucky was sitting next to Li Shunsheng at this time. The girl didn't understand politics at all. Every time she was in a meeting, she just wanted to display her psychic shielding and prevent eavesdropping. She basically let her play on her side.

Lucky's personality is very innocent. She doesn't know what autonomy or not. She only knows that Li Shunsheng seems to be quarreling with Leng Yuan now. These two are the people she is closest to. She doesn't want to see them quarrel, and she doesn't know what to say. She can only shrank her head in fear for a moment.

Just as the anger was about to start, Leng Yuan accidentally caught a glimpse of Lucky who looked scared. After a moment, the anger on her face disappeared and she said softly: "Shunsheng, you can take Lucky to rest first."

"Yes." Li Shunsheng didn't say much, and pushed Lucky's wheelchair away.
