The end of the military era
Page 215
"This is a good choice. Your intelligence department should find a way to get in touch with Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the Imperial Army of the Han and Tang Empires, to see if he is willing to accept the support of our Golden Lion Empire and become an agent of our Golden Lion Empire. people."
In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden Army in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Rongguang asked his eldest son Zhao Shicong and his second son Zhao Shijie: "What do you think of the aid to the Golden Lion Empire?"
Now Zhao Rongguang controls the military power by himself, his second son Zhao Shijie, as the Minister of the Household Department, controls the financial power of the entire court, and the eldest son Zhao Shicong, as the commander of the embroidery platform, controls the intelligence system of the entire court. It can be said that the court of the Han and Tang Empires, It has become the hall of one word of the Zhao family.
After Zhao Shicong and Zhao Shijie glanced at each other, Zhao Shicong first said: "Father, the conditions offered by the Golden Lion Empire are very generous, I think it is acceptable.
What's more, on the issue of suppressing the Zhou family, the imperial court should be consistent with the Golden Lion Empire. "
Zhao Shijie continued: "Father, although the imperial court captured the entire Pushan Town, Pushan Town is not a wealthy feudal town.
At present, the 30 infantry divisions supported by the Ministry of Households are already somewhat stretched, and they cannot support the further expansion of the Imperial Army.
If the Golden Lion Empire can get assistance in terms of money and weapons and equipment, the Forbidden Army can once again carry out a large-scale expansion and implement the plan to annex Pingyue Town and Jinggu Town. "
Both Pingyue Town and Jinggu Town are one of the six northeast towns of the Han and Tang Empires. Pingyue Town has 25 cities with a population of about 2400 million, and Jinggu Town has 26 cities with a population of about 2200 million.
The Jiedu Mansions in Pingyue Town and Jinggu Town can only control some direct-line troops, and more troops in these two towns are controlled by various families.
Zhao Rongguang sighed and said: "Actually, in my father's heart, I don't want to cooperate with the Golden Lion Empire. After all, the Golden Lion Empire is a beast nation, not my race, so its heart must be different.
However, the conditions offered by the Golden Lion Empire are too attractive, not only willing to provide us with an interest-free loan of 10 billion silver coins.
还愿意无偿援助50万支手栓式连发步枪、4000挺机枪、1000门70毫米步兵炮和300门120毫米榴弹炮,以及配套的子弹和炮弹。
Moreover, the Golden Lion Empire also stated that this is only the first batch of assistance, and it will increase the intensity of assistance to us in the future according to the situation. "
Zhao Shicong was relieved when he heard his father say this, he knew that his father had accepted the conditions of the Golden Lion Empire in his heart.
"Father, as the saying goes, stones from other mountains can make jade.
This time the Golden Lion Empire has no other conditions other than the right to build roads. I think accepting the assistance of the Golden Lion Empire is good for the court and for our Zhao family. "
"Hey, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in the Han and Tang Empires, it seems that I, Zhao Rongguang, can only bear the reputation of colluding with the beast nation."
In the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion in Jieyang City, the capital of Shuonan Town, Shuonan Jiedu envoy Shi Desheng asked several high-ranking officials of the Shuonan Army in a deep voice: "What do you think about the proposal of the Red Tiger Empire?"
Shuonan Town is the second largest feudal town in the Han and Tang Empires, with an area of about 110 million square kilometers, 52 cities, and a population of almost 7000 million.
Although there are many families that control the military power in Shuonan Town, Shuonan Jiedu Shi Desheng has a very high prestige in the entire Shuonan Town, and there are 21 cities under the direct jurisdiction of Shuonan Jiedu Mansion. The army troops of the family lineage exceeded 60.
In addition, Shi Desheng, the Shuonan Jiedu envoy, still firmly controls a quite powerful naval fleet. Before the Zhou family's naval fleet was born, the naval fleet in Shuonan Town can be regarded as the Han and Tang Empire. The most powerful navy.
Shi Desheng's eldest son, Shi Zihao, the commander-in-chief of the Shuonan Navy Fleet, said in a deep voice: "Father, the conditions given by the Red Tiger Empire are too generous. If you don't consider the impact of cooperating with the orc nation, this is simply a drop in the sky." Good thing about pies.
But precisely because we want to cooperate with the Red Tiger Empire, our Shuonan Jiedu Mansion must be more cautious about this matter.
There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and the reputation of colluding with the orc country, if it falls on our Shuonan Jiedu Mansion, it will not be so easy to get rid of it. "
Then Shi Detai, Shi Desheng's second younger brother, commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Shuonan Army, said, "Brother, the Red Tiger Empire promised an interest-free loan of 8 million silver coins.
He is also willing to donate to our Shuonan Army 6 all-steel battleships, 6 large armored cruisers and 6 light cruisers free of charge, as well as weapons and ammunition that can rearm 50 army troops.
But what the Red Tiger Empire wants is only the right to build roads in Shuonan Town. I think this deal is a bargain. "
Shi Desheng's third brother, Shi Dejian, Commander of the Shuonan Army's Third Infantry Division, went on to say: "Brother, now the Ganyang Zhou family has annexed the entire Bajin Empire.
In addition to the frighteningly powerful Southwest Coast Defense Fleet of the Zhou family in Ganyang, if our Shuonan Jiedu Mansion does not find a way to strengthen its strength, I am worried that our Shi family will be in danger if we confront the Zhou family in Ganyang in the future.
Fame is worthless these days, I suggest accepting the cooperation with the Red Tiger Empire. "
Shuonan Jiedu envoy Shi Desheng pondered for a while, and asked his eldest son Shi Zihao: "When will the four full-armor battleships in Shuonan Shipyard be ready to serve?"
Shuonan Shipyard is the largest shipyard in Shuonan Township. In August last year, Shuonan Shipyard started to independently build four battleships with full main guns at the same time.
这4艘全主炮战列舰,满载排水量22600吨,装备5座双联装45倍口径300毫米主炮。
Shi Zihao replied: "Father commander, the four battleships with full main guns will be able to join the Shuonan Navy fleet in April or May next year.
那时候我们朔南海军舰队将拥有4艘全主炮战列舰、18艘全钢制战列舰、12艘大型装甲巡洋舰、18艘轻巡洋舰、18艘驱逐舰、24艘近海炮艇和40艘鱼雷艇。
This does not include the 18 warships that the Red Tiger Empire plans to donate to us free of charge. "
Shuonan Jiedu envoy Shi Desheng immediately said: "Talk to the Red Tiger Empire again. It would be best if the Red Tiger Empire can add a few battleships with full main guns to the list of free gifts."
Chapter 1 Ninety Twelve Formations
The aid agreement between the court of the Han and Tang Empires and the Golden Lion Empire, as well as the aid agreement between the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion and the Red Tiger Empire, were quickly disclosed by the newspapers.
Although in these two aid agreements, the Golden Lion Empire and the Scarlet Tiger Empire only claimed the right to build roads, these two aid agreements still caused an uproar throughout the Han and Tang Empires.
Other feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires accused the two aid agreements of betraying the country and seeking glory, and strongly demanded that the imperial court and the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion revoke the two aid agreements.
According to the content of these two aid agreements, the strength of the imperial court and the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion will soar in the next period of time, which is something other feudal towns do not want to see.
However, accusations and protests from other feudal towns, and even verbal criticism in newspapers around the country, did not shake the determination of the Han and Tang Empire courts to reach an aid agreement with the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion.
When the Zhou family's army invaded Kangyang Town, one of the six towns in the northwest, the Han and Tang Empire courts and the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion became more determined to implement the aid agreement.
At the beginning of June in Tianyuan 1540, the Zhou family army suddenly gathered 6 infantry divisions and invaded the territory of Kangyang Town in five ways.
At this time, the two brothers Liu Hou and Liu Yi, who were in control of Kangyang Town, had a combined army of more than 70, while the total strength of the 10 infantry divisions of Zhou's army was only about 40.
But on the battlefield, it was the Kangyang Army that was defeated like a mountain. Many troops of the Kangyang Army turned back one after another, and even the entire division chose to surrender to the Zhou family army.
As a result, by the end of June in Tianyuan 1540, all 6 cities in Kangyang Town fell into the hands of the Zhou family army.
Liu Hou was shot to death on the battlefield. When Zhou's army approached Anrui City, the capital of Kangyang Town, Liu Yi took the initiative to order the city gate to be opened, thus saving his life.
The two brothers Liu Hou and Liu Yi have been in Kangyang Town these years, because they set up many exorbitant taxes, which are very unpopular. This made the Zhou family less resistant when they took over Kangyang Town.
So far, the Zhou family's territory has expanded to 8 feudal towns, with a population close to 2 million.
Seeing how ferocious the Zhou family was, other feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires were even more afraid of the Zhou family. Boting Town, Yannan Town, Weibei Town, and Deyang Town in the southwest region even put the original dark alliance on the surface. , formed the Southwest League.
And this southwest alliance is obviously to guard against the Zhou family.
Since the Zhou family annexed Kangyang Town, the other five towns in the northwest region, Botai Town, Fuping Town, Xiangxi Town, Ding'an Town, and Luoshan Town, quickly united to form a group that also aimed at the Zhou family. Northwest Union.
Jinzhong Town and Jinbei Town were established at the end of February, and Kangyang Town was captured at the end of June. Coupled with the establishment of the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance, Zhou Rui decided to delay the expansion of the Zhou family.
For the next period of time, Zhou Rui is going to focus on internal construction.
Time flies, and the time soon came to March of Tianyuan 1541. After more than a year of fierce fighting between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, they finally signed another armistice agreement on March 3, 1541.
The losses of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire in this war were even greater than in the previous war. In particular, the navies of the two countries fought three large-scale naval battles around Bara Island. In total, hundreds of ships were sunk.
The armies of the two countries also killed more than one million people in the fierce battle for more than a year.
