The end of the military era

Zhao Tianyou had some hesitation on his face, "Teacher, really don't think about it anymore?

Perhaps the death of the commander-in-chief has nothing to do with the eldest son, not to mention that our third division may not be the opponent of the first division if the fight really starts. "

Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Father's death should have nothing to do with my elder brother.

But for the position of Fengwu Jiedushi, fighting is a must.

As for whether we can beat the first division, we can only gamble, but I made some arrangements before, which may increase our chances of winning. "

On the early morning of the third day after Fengwu Jiedushi Shen Xiao's death, the sound of guns suddenly rang out in Xiushui City, and a big battle for the position of Fengwu Jiedushi immediately kicked off.

From the beginning of this war, there have been many dizzying accidents.

First of all, an infantry regiment of the first division turned its guns when the battle started, and chose to join Shen Zhi.

It's a pity that Shen Zhi was not happy for too long, the No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade, which he reserved as one of the general reserves, announced his support for the eldest son Shen Du to succeed Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

Originally, Shen Zhi's side still had the advantage in terms of military strength, but after such an exchange, the strength of both sides in Xiushui City became almost the same again.

The troops of Shen Zhi and Shen Du fought from the early morning of June 6th until the evening of June 11th, and finally Shen Zhi couldn't stand it any longer.

After three days of fierce fighting, more than half of Shen Zhi's troops were killed or injured. What's more, the morale of the troops was low. The company-level troops and battalion-level troops that had been formed all chose to surrender to Shen Du's troops.

As a last resort, Shen Zhi had no choice but to withdraw from Xiushui City with the remaining ten thousand people from the third division and the No.20 Eighth Independent Brigade.

Just when the outside world thought that Shen Du could finally become the new envoy of Fengwu Jiedu, Shen Du was shot and killed at the gate of Jiedu Mansion.

And not long after Shen Du was sniped, the Fengwu Army's Second Division, the First Independent Brigade, the Second Independent Brigade, and the No.20 Sixth Independent Brigade, led by the commander of the Second Division Shen Mao, suddenly killed After entering Xiushui City, they began to forcibly recruit the troops under Shen Du's command.

However, the First Division and the No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade, which had already joined Shen Du, did not choose to be incorporated under the leadership of Li Xiangming, the deputy commander of the First Division.

Li Xiangming led his troops to fight with Shen Mao's troops for two days before being kicked out of Xiushui City. At this time, there were still more than 20 people left in the First Division and the No.1 Seventh Independent Brigade.

On the morning of June 6, Shen Mao, younger brother of the late Fengwu Jiedu Envoy Shen Xiao, announced in Xiushui City that he would succeed Fengwu Jiedu Envoy.

Five days later, Shen Zhi held a press conference in Tianning City, south of Xiushui City, announcing that he had strong evidence that his second uncle Shen Mao sent someone to poison his father Shen Xiao, and called on the major families in Fengwu Town to unite and crusade against Shen Mao. This brother murderer.

The Qiu family who controlled Tianning City also immediately stated at the press conference that they supported Shen Zhi to take over as Fengwu Jiedu envoy, and did not recognize Shen Mao as the new Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

At this time, Li Xiangming, the deputy commander of the first division, also retreated to Tianning City with more than 1 people, and took refuge in Shen Zhi's command.

Zhou Rui returned to Ganyang City after learning of the death of Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao.

Zhou Rui put the newspaper on the table, and then said to Hu Yi with some emotion: "Xiushui City is really lively, I didn't expect that Shen Mao would appear in the end.

Maybe Shen Xiao was poisoned to death by Shen Mao. "

Fox nodded, "Although no direct evidence has been found, according to some indirect evidence obtained by our ghost, Shen Mao's suspicion of Shen Xiao's death is the biggest."

"It doesn't really matter who poisoned Shen Xiao to death.

The important thing is that because Shen Mao took over Xiushui City, Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion finally had a chance to take back Jingyang City. "

"Don't worry, Commander, Shen Mao's second division only left an infantry brigade to defend the entire Jingyang area.

And the brigade commander of this infantry brigade has been bought by our ghost. "

On June 1538, 6 in Tianyuan, three infantry divisions of the Zhenwei Army suddenly invaded the Jingyang area and occupied the entire Jingyang area including Jingyang City in just two days.

The Third Infantry Brigade of the Second Division of the Fengwu Army stationed in the Jingyang area, under the leadership of its brigade commander, surrendered to the Zhenwei Army without even making any resistance.

After the Zhenwei Army regained the Jingyang area, all forces in Fengwu Town immediately began to denounce the Zhou family in Ganyang.

But secretly, Shen Mao who occupied Xiushui City, and Shen Zhi who was in Tianning City sent people to Ganyang City.

Shen Mao said that Jingyang City can be returned to Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, but he hopes that the Zhou family in Ganyang can do so in moderation, and also hopes that the Zhou family in Ganyang can officially recognize Shen Mao as the new Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

Shen Zhi also hoped that the Ganyang Zhou family would stop encroaching on the interests of Fengwu Town after capturing the Jingyang area, and hoped that the Ganyang Zhou family would express their support for him to take over as Fengwu Jiedushi.

And what Zhou Rui meant was very clear, Jingyang City originally belonged to Zhenwei Town, and there was nothing wrong with Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion taking back Jingyang City this time.

Zhou Rui doesn't care about who will be the envoy of Fengwu Jiedu. The two of you will fight on your own. Whoever wins will be supported by me.

Chapter 145 Union

Zhou Rui very much hoped that Shen Mao and Shen Zhi, the uncles and nephews, could fight more fiercely, so that both sides would suffer, so that the Zhou family might be able to reap the benefits.

Inside the Zhou Family Army, some people even thought that it is time to take the opportunity to directly seize control of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

Then, like Zhenwei Town, the military power of the major families was collected, and the entire Fengwu Town was included in the sphere of influence of the Zhou family army.

However, "Ghost Shadow" has received information that dozens of families in Fengwu Town have reached a consensus in secret, as long as the Ganyang Zhou family intends to further annex Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

The armies of dozens of families will unite with Shen Mao or Shen Zhi to resolutely fight against the Ganyang Zhou family to the end.

These families have been frightened by Zhou Rui's cruel methods in Zhenwei Town. They will never allow the tragic ending of those families in Zhenwei Town to fall on their own families, so they resolutely resist the Ganyang Zhou family's entry into Fengwu Jiedufu.

In fact, only relying on the 18 infantry divisions of the Zhenwei Army, Zhou Rui was not afraid of the coalition forces of dozens of families in Fengwu Town at all.

The 18 infantry divisions of the Zhenwei Army have a total strength of 63, which is more than the combined armies of these dozens of families, and the 18 infantry divisions of the Zhenwei Army still have an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment.

However, "Ghost Shadow" also got another piece of information, which Zhou Rui had to pay attention to.

The other four feudal towns among the six southwestern towns of the Han and Tang Empires, the four Jiedufu in Boting Town, Yannan Town, Beibei Town, and Deyang Town, seem to have reached an agreement secretly that the Zhou family in Ganyang cannot be allowed to continue Entered the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

Now the strength of the Zhou family in Ganyang has far surpassed the other feudal towns among the six towns in the southwest.

If the Ganyang Zhou family were to swallow the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, the next one to be swallowed might be one of their four Jiedu Mansions.

Zhou Rui could not care about the dozens of families in Fengwu Town, but he couldn't care less about the other four Jiedu Mansions in the Six Southwest Towns.

The combined forces of the four Jiedu mansions would not be able to bear even the Zhou family, which already had elite soldiers from two towns.

In addition, Zhou Rui also feels that now is not the best time to annex Fengwu Town. You must know that "Ghost Shadow" is still using various methods to buy some middle and senior officers in the armies of the major families.

When the time is right, not to mention just capturing Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, even taking down the entire Fengwu Town will be a matter of course.

Of course, at that time, if the four Jiedu mansions of Boting Town, Yannan Town, Yanbei Town, and Deyang Town wanted to intervene in the affairs of Fengwu Town, Zhou Rui could only choose to bear it.

On July 1538, 7, at the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire on Fengsha Island, the commander of the Fifth Fleet, Saweiye, smiled at a Lion Clan Vice Admiral and a Wolf Clan Vice Admiral Said: "Welcome General Sievas and General Longella to the beautiful Phongsa Island."

The Vice Admiral of the Lion Clan is Xivas, the commander of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, and the Vice Admiral of the Wolf Clan is Longella, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Xie Vas nodded, "The scenery of Fengsha Island is indeed much more beautiful than Gao Wo Island.

However, our Golden Lion Empire is vigorously building Gaowo Island. We hope that the scenery of Gaowo Island in the future will be as charming as Fengsha Island. "

Longela kept a sullen face and did not speak. The Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire once fought against the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire. At that time, the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire suffered a lot.
