Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 588: The expansion of the Southeastern Xiang Army

The new prime minister of Dawan, Safwand, heard that King Yeman thought that the current 24 cavalry regiments and 68 infantry regiments of the Dawan Standing Army were still not enough, and he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this The city of Dawan was captured by the smashing forces. The national treasury of Dawan was greatly damaged. Although it would not hurt our country, it is already a bit difficult to support the 9.2 million standing army. If you continue If the army expands, the financial pressure on our country will increase a lot. Will Your Majesty the King think about it again?"

King Yeman waved his hand and said: "It may not be long before our country of Dawan will go to war again with the Trapped Army. So now everything in our country of Dawan must serve this war, and the financial revenue is not enough. Just increase the tax. In any case, before the war begins, at least six cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments must be expanded, otherwise there is no bottom in the lonely heart!"

Hearing that King Yeman was about to expand into six cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments at once, Prime Minister Sappho couldn't help taking a breath, "Your Majesty, if there are six more cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments The infantry corps can only increase taxes in various provinces. It is simply impossible to support a standing army of 11 million by relying only on the fiscal revenue of our entire Dawan country."

King Yeman categorically said: "Then follow the Prime Minister's suggestion to increase taxes in each province. As for the expansion of six cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments, then it's settled."

Prime Minister Sapphowan smiled bitterly, how did it become my suggestion? The suggestion to increase taxes was clearly made by King Yeman.

However, Sapphowan dared not correct King Yeman’s words, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister must urge the military as soon as possible, and then expand to six cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments. Now the people in all parts of the country are right. The squadron is very indignant, and it shouldn’t be a big problem if another 1.8 million people are enlisted to join the standing army.”

King Yeman nodded with satisfaction and said: "I believe that with this 11 million standing army and millions of auxiliary soldiers conscripted during the war, our country in Dawan will be able to completely defeat the broken army! That's right! Gu has sent people to contact the various forces that are hostile to the Poman Army. I believe that when our country of Dawan starts a war against the Poman Army, the Poman Army is likely to face the dilemma of fighting on several lines at the same time!"

Prime Minister Sapphowan immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, the army will be defeated!"

Then the Prime Minister Sapphowan said to King Yeman: "Your Majesty, there are some... deserted in the palace now. Did you select a group of beauties from various provinces and send them into the palace?"

King Yeman understood what Prime Minister Sapphowan meant. This time the captive army captured Dawan City and almost snatched all of King Yeman’s nearly three hundred princesses, except for eighty-three people whose charm value exceeded. In addition to the 80 o'clock princess being occupied by Liu Ji, more than 200 other princesses were also taken away by Liu Ji and awarded to many generals of the army. Only more than forty old and frail princesses escaped. A catastrophe.

Although King Yeman is fifty years old this year, he still maintains a great enthusiasm for men and women. Of course, men like young and beautiful women. For the remaining forty elderly princesses in the palace, the king Yeman didn't have much interest.

"It's true that some of the palaces are too deserted, so let the prime minister want to do it!"

In a meeting room of the Southeast Metropolitan Government Mansion in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Prefecture, the Greater Jin Dynasty, the Southeast Metropolitan Supervisor Zhang Mingqi exclaimed and said to the counselor Tang Yan: “I never expected that the Army of the Puppet Army could defeat the first power in the Western Regions so easily. Not only did Dawan spit out the provinces and dependent countries of Gaochang, but also cut off ten provinces from Dawan. Our Southeast Xiang Army compares to the gap of the Captive Army. It has become bigger and bigger, alas—"

The counselor Tang Yan said in a deep voice, "According to the news that the Red Fox has received, the reason why the Lukuk Army has been able to defeat Dawan is almost the same as the process of the Lukuk Army's victory over the Qingyi people. The northern governor personally led it. Hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Broken Army suddenly appeared in the capital of Dawan, and then defeated the defenders of Dawan, captured the capital of Dawan, and captured the King Yeman of Dawan. It forced Dawan to agree to that very harsh condition."

Zhang Mingqi frowned and said, "The chief governor has always been very strange. How did the Sundering Army make hundreds of thousands of troops appear in the enemy's capital without knowing it? Do you Red Fox have any clues in this regard?"

The counselor Tang Yan shook his head and said, "Master, the subordinates are also very unbelievable about this. We have already let us Red Fox’s spies in the Captive Army to investigate this, but so far our Red Fox spies, Haven't found any useful clues yet."

Zhang Mingqi shook his head and said: "Whoever is going to be the enemy of the Puppet Army, seems to have to deploy enough troops in their base camp, otherwise, once the Puppet Army has captured the nest, the battle will not go on! "

The counselor Tang Yan nodded with a wry smile, "Lord, the Phantom Army defeated Dawan this time, and its strength was even better before. If our Southeast Army still guards the three-square-meter area of ​​the Southeastern Seven States, we will end up in the Southeastern Chamber. The army is likely to be given to the smashing army..."

Although the counselor Tang Yan did not finish speaking, Zhang Mingqi, the chief governor of Southeast Asia, already understood what the counselor Tang Yan meant. Zhang Mingqi said in a deep voice, "Mr. The land is divided into three acres, and we must continue to expand the territory of our Southeast Xiang Army, so as to shorten the strength gap with the destroyer army."

After a pause, Zhang Mingqi asked the counselor Tang Yan: "Mr. Tang, the main force of our Southeast Xiang Army is now confined to Zhejiang and Fuzhou. They are used to defend against Lu. There are not many troops that can be used. See, if our Southeast Army expands outward, which direction should we choose?"

The counselor Tang Yan pondered for a while and said: "Now the Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai countries south of Zhejiang and Fuzhou have all become the territory of the Lu Kingdom. With the strength of our Southeast Xiang Army, it is difficult to follow The State of Lu grabbed eight states from these four countries, so our Southeast Xiang Army wanted to expand outward, so we could only fight for the idea of ​​Dajin other states and counties."

Zhang Mingqi sighed and said: "This is what the capital governor thinks, but our Southeast Army and the court have not completely smashed their skins. If our Southeast Army attacks other neighboring states and counties, the court can give up and let us go southeast. The Xiang Army is not afraid of the court, but on the surface it also belongs to the army of the Great Jin Dynasty. If the court transfers the Army to the south, our Southeast Xiang Army will be set on fire."

The proud record of the Lianzhan Lianzheng Lienjie has already made Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Southeast Xiang Army, a little fearful of the Lulu Army. What's more, in the south of the seven southeastern states, there is also Lu Guo, an eye-catching enemy. Once the South East Xiang Army and the Breakthrough Army go to war, in order to defend against Lu, the South East Xiang Army will not be able to invest all of its troops and compete with the Breakthrough Army. If the Southeast Xiang Army cannot With all your strength, it is difficult to have a chance to win.

The counselor Tang Yan immediately said: "Lord, most of the main force of our Southeast Army, although they are held in the territory of Zhejiang Province and Fuzhou by the State of Lu, the situation of the Breakthrough Army is not necessarily better than that of our Southeast Army. How much, the victory over Dawan by the Squadrons this time can be said to be a coincidence. According to the news we received from the Red Fox, Dawan is now stepping up its army expansion and may find trouble with the Squadrons at any time. The Squadrons are trying to prevent Dawan. China must have a large number of troops stationed in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and the nomads on the grasslands and the Qingyi people in the Shiwan Dashan Mountains all have very great hostility to the Luke-Splitting Army. The Luke-Splitting Army is in order to guard against the nomads. As well as the Qingyi people, there must be a large number of troops confined in Beiting Duhufu and Huazhou."

Zhang Mingqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Tang meant that even if the imperial court wants to transfer the army to the south, the army should not send out many troops?"

The counselor Tang Yan nodded and said: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates think that now is the best time for our Southeast Xiang Army to expand. The Trapped Army is actually not a concern, because the Trapped Army simply cannot draw out too many troops to stop it. Our Southeast Xiang Army’s external expansion."

Zhang Mingqi was silent for a long time before he asked, "Then Mr. Tang thinks, where should our Southeast Army expand?"

"On the periphery of the seven southeast states, Leizhou, Qinzhou, Hengzhou, Liuzhou and Yizhou can be used as targets for the expansion of our Southeast Army. However, if Liuzhou or Yizhou is taken, the territory of our Southeast Army will be destroyed. Fuzhou controlled by the army borders each other, so the subordinates suggested that our Southeast Xiang Army set the target of expansion as several states in the southwest."

Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, as well as Guizhou and Yuzhou, are known as the five southwestern states of Dajin. To the south of Leizhou and Qinzhou, it is another old enemy of Dajin, the Great Zhou Kingdom with 22 states.

In more than four hundred years, 19 large-scale wars broke out between Dajin and Dazhou, but no one completely beat anyone to the ground. The two countries have won each other in the 19th World War. .

Today, the situation in Da Zhou is not even as good as Da Jin, because in recent years there have been many natural and man-made disasters, so that there have been a large number of gangsters in Da Zhou. At present, almost half of the states and counties in Da Zhou have fallen into the hands of several gangsters. , The remaining half of the Zhou dynasty was also controlled by a few princes, and the Great Zhou court almost existed in name only.

Nowadays, the gangsters in the Dajin prefectures have been suppressed by the local armies of the states, especially the seven southeast states, and Qianzhou, Pizhou, Qinzhou, Xiangzhou, and Fuzhou controlled by the Puppet Army. The gangsters are basically They were all cleaned up.

Thanks to Dajin’s overwhelming efforts over the years, Dajin and Dazhou’s rivals have been able to live in peace during these years. However, Lu, who has ambitions for Dazhou, has two vassal states, Mou Guohe. The kingdom of Bai stood in the middle, and could not directly invade the kingdom of Great Zhou.

There were originally six countries between Dajin, Dazhou and Lu, namely Jiao, Xun, Gu, Lai, Mou and Bai. Among them, Jiao, Xun, Gu, and Lai are Da Jin’s vassal state, but at present these four countries have been annexed by the Lu State. Mou and Bai are the vassal states of Da Zhou. Mou has five states, and the army has about 1.3 million. The country has territories in three states, and the army has about 900,000.

In addition, Mou and Bai have a large population. Once a war breaks out, Mou and Bai can quickly recruit a large number of young men to join the army. Even Lu has some doubts about the war potential of Mou and Bai. , So Lu tried to annex Da Jin first, and then deal with Da Zhou and Da Zhou's two vassals.

The counselor Tang Yan then said to Zhang Mingqi: "Master, if our Southeast Army can capture Leizhou and Qinzhou in the southwest, we can even expand into the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Zhou's overall strength has declined severely. This may be a godsend opportunity for our Southeast Army!"

When Zhang Mingqi heard the counselor Tang Yan mentioning the Great Zhou Kingdom, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "The Great Zhou Kingdom has 22 states, and its population is only slightly smaller than that of Dajin, almost close to 200 million. If we are southeast The Xiang Army can really annex the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the capital governor would be afraid of the Breakthrough Army or the Lu State! Our Southeast Xiang Army will follow Mr. Tang’s plan~www.wuxiahere.com~ and set the goal of expansion in Leizhou first. , Qinzhou and Hengzhou!"

"My lord, the armies of Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou have a significant gap in strength compared to our Southeast Xiang Army. If our Southeast Xiang Army can mobilize three legions, then we can launch against these three states at the same time. The best way to attack is to annex these three states at lightning speed, so that the court has no time to intervene, and then plot the other two states in the southwest."

"Although there is a threat from the State of Lu, there are sixty guards under our seven regiments of the Southeast Xiang Army, with a total strength of more than 7.5 million. In addition to the First Corps and the Imperial Guard Corps, three legions can be deployed. of!"

Following the advice of Tang Yan, the chief governor of the Southeast, Zhang Mingqi drew out the Second, Sixth, and Seventh Army of the Southeast Xiang Army. The state also launched an invasion.

The Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou armies were not too strong. In addition, the Southeast Xiang Army’s invasion was too sudden. They were caught off guard by the three armies. As a result, the Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou armies were fighting. After that, the army was almost defeated, and soon a large area of ​​the three states fell to the hands of the Southeast Xiang Army.
