Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 1 Toyo
"What? What did you say?" The young man who was lying lazily on the dragon bed and didn't want to move suddenly jumped up, rushed over in three steps at a time, and grabbed the man who was reading The secret letter in his hand, ten lines at a glance, all doubts were immediately resolved, and his handsome face suddenly became extremely ferocious: "Good old nine! If you are so bold, I, Situ Yuan, can't accept it! I said why the emperor's personality has changed so much. Great, so it is!"
Like a lion trapped in a cage, the young man paced back and forth in the spacious cabin, his face full of irritability. Come on, all his arrangements can be implemented smoothly by taking this opportunity. Whether it is himself, the eldest brother and the third brother, they have already lost first, and have been pushed out of the city. They will never be able to compare with the old nine who is at the center of the empire. It seems that the critical moment has come, should I follow the example of my elder brother and return to the imperial capital first?
Although most of the Seventh Army has returned to the south of the Yangtze River, the loss is not small. It urgently needs to replenish soldiers and run-in training. What a hope, the soldiers from these areas have always been weak, if they want to train and form in a short period of time, I'm afraid no one can guarantee it.
"Your Highness, there is no evidence for such a thing. Now the initiative of the imperial capital is in the hands of His Highness Ninth Prince. The signal, that is, His Majesty may not have much time, otherwise His Highness Ninth Prince would not dare to be so presumptuous. Since he has accelerated his pace of action, I am afraid we cannot fall behind. This subordinate judges that His Highness should have received similar information, so he will leave Returning to the imperial capital in the north, the Third Highness may return to the imperial capital in a few days." The man in the green shirt thought about it while shaking his feather fan.
"Sir, do you mean that I will also find a chance to return to the imperial capital?" The young man straightened his clothes, pushed open the porthole, and looked at the rippling blue sea, white sails, gulls and egrets, a beautiful and peaceful scene.
"The imperial capital will definitely go back, and there is no rush in these two days. With His Royal Highness supporting us there, I don't think the situation will change much. If the Third Highness also returns to Beijing, then we have sufficient reasons Returning to Beijing, after all, His Majesty's health is something he should be concerned about, so His Highness might as well visit the Seventh and Eighth Army Corps in the next few days, and then communicate with Liao Qichang and the main officials of the Navy Fleet," said the man in the green shirt. He speaks slowly, but methodically.
"Well, it makes sense. If the elder brothers have all returned to Beijing, I would seem a little hypocritical if I don't go back." The man in the blue shirt smiled slightly, "Is there any news from my uncle?"
"There's nothing unusual. Didn't Duke Julius send a letter last time saying that he had persuaded His Majesty King Louis XI to support His Highness?" The man in the green shirt shook his fan and chuckled.
"Well, but there is still the hurdle of the Prime Minister. Bedoric is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has an extremely accurate view of the situation. The troubles in our empire can't be hidden from his eyes at all. I Uncle wrote to say that if he cannot be persuaded, even with the approval of His Majesty the King, his proposal will be difficult to pass at the State Council, so it is urgent to do the work of Duke Tombedorić, and it is up to Bedorić now What price will the duke ask for?" Sighing softly, the young man subconsciously shook his head, everything needs to be paid, it just depends on the amount. The room fell silent all of a sudden, as if both of them were thinking about this question. The blue sea wave gently slapped on the side of the ship, like a huge cradle shaking slowly, indescribably quiet and pleasant.
"Your Highness, it's almost time, or you won't be able to catch up with the dinner prepared for you by the He family." The man in the green shirt glanced at the chime bell at the corner of the cabin, and said in a deep voice.
"Well, let's go, don't disappoint He Yunguo's good intentions, we still need the support of these people, and the formation and training expenses of the Tenth Legion this time will all depend on the help of these families, otherwise I don’t know where the money came from.” The young man nodded, “It’s really hard for this guy Liao Qichang to take out two coins, and I still haven’t figured out what this guy is playing in his heart. idea."
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. As long as we firmly control the seventh and twelfth legions, even if Liao Qichang has any ideas, it will be useless. There is also the Kingdom of Milan supporting you, what you need to consider now is the actions of the other highnesses." The man in the green shirt smiled slightly and broadened his master's heart.
The hull swayed slightly, moving forward slowly, the young man stood at the porthole, looking out the window quietly, the sea breeze brought a faint salty smell, the young man seemed to like this smell very much Son, couldn't help taking a deep breath, and didn't pay much attention to the words of the man in the green shirt standing in the cabin.
"Has the Japanese done anything special during this period of time?" A young man who seemed to have been admiring the sea asked this question abruptly.
"Oh, the Japanese have been very quiet for a while. Since the last time they attacked Haicuang Port, the navy dispatched a fleet to clean up the war. They fought two battles with the Japanese fleet. The Japanese escaped because of their familiarity with the sea. , the loss was not great, but since then it seems to have become much quieter, and even those wanderers who often go out to sea are rarely seen." The man in the green shirt replied after a little thought.
Ronin is actually synonymous with a small group of Japanese pirates. Those middle and lower class Japanese who lost their land and identity gathered together one after another in order to make a living, formed armed groups, and went to sea in groups, from plundering fishermen at sea to robbery In the past, caravans even developed to go ashore to rob villages and towns in the coastal areas, which became a recognized disaster for the people and localities along the Atlantic coast. As these people became more rampant and their power gradually expanded, they also occupied some small islands as their storage points for fresh water and supplies, and searched for suitable people on the coast of the mainland as agents for selling stolen goods and supplies. The most important target of defense and attack for the naval fleets of coastal countries.
"There must be something wrong here. Behind the calmness is often a harbinger of conspiracy." A wry smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, "When did those ronin become so obedient? I've never seen them so quiet even when a hurricane came. What do you think they plan to do?"
"What other plans do you have? The Japanese have now been gradually integrated under the Liyuan family, and their ambitions are clearly revealed. The next target is either Kamchatka Island or Treasure Island. The sneak attack on Haicuang Port is just a temptation and intimidation. One is to test the reaction of the empire, and the other is to scare away the residents who originally lived on Kamchatka Island with **** terror, so as to facilitate their next plan." The man in the blue shirt seems to know the habits and inside information of the Japanese people very well, Easy to come, talk endlessly.
"Sir, do you mean that the next target of the Japanese will be the entire Kamchatka Island?" The young man was startled, turned around and stared at the other side and asked.
Shrugging his shoulders, the man in the green shirt remained unchanged, and said calmly, "The Ryukyu Islands have been looted by the Japanese just like the Cook Islands of the Dorton people. This subordinate judges that the occupation of these places will be for the Japanese to achieve their hegemony." The first step of the Eastern ambitions, especially Kamchatka!"
"Why do you know that?" The young man's interest was hooked. He didn't expect that he, a military adviser, would have such a thorough understanding of the changes in the situation in the Great East.
"Your Highness, just look at the map of the geographical situation in the Great Eastern Ocean. This Kamchatka Island is just located between the Cook Islands, the Ryukyu Islands and Treasure Island. It is very convenient, even the distance from Silu Island, the base camp of the Japanese, is similar to the distance from it to the empire. It can be said that it is an excellent location. The population on the island does not exceed 50,000~IndoMTL.com~ And Ghost Island, which is quite similar to Kamchatka Island in terms of area and natural environment, has a population of more than 600,000, which is more than ten times the population of the empire on Kamchatka Island times, and the island is widely forested, and there are good harbors suitable as ports. If a port is built in the west of Kamchatka Island, it can directly overlook the vast coastal area of the empire. But such a fertile and precious island, the empire There is not even a regular army stationed, and even the navy is just a squadron guard, and it has been wiped out in the last Japanese raid. In this case, Your Highness, think about it, would the Japanese be willing to give up such an attractive opportunity? ?” The man in the blue shirt was very interested when he mentioned this topic.
"Well, it's very possible that the Japanese people have great ambitions. Occupying this Kamchatka Island just laid down a springboard for their plans." The young man also agreed with the other party.
"Yes, once Kamchatka Island falls into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese will definitely carry out large-scale immigration to Kamchatka Island, striving to control the entire Kamchatka Island in the shortest possible time. The chances of regaining it are very slim, especially in the current chaotic situation of the empire. After controlling Kamchatka Island, the next target of the Japanese must be the Ryukyu Islands. Once the Ryukyu Islands are lost, the Great Eastern The initiative completely fell into the hands of the Japanese, and the fall of the Cook Islands and Treasure Island would be a matter of time. The timing of the Japanese choice was also very scheming. The leader of the Liyuan family, Liyuan Shanchuan, has been watching the changes in the mainland situation. He also just saw the opportunity when the empire is unstable and there is not much power to interfere with them." The man in the blue shirt was full of sadness, which was what made him feel distressed. Seeing the Japanese invasion was imminent, but his family The master's major affairs are also unstoppable, which one is more important?
