Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 51: The Big Show

Rectifying Kansai's defense can not only smoothly build this eastward lifeline, but also consolidate Wufeng's rule in Kansai. Although Hanzhong is nominally still in Situ Jun's hands, as Wufeng expected, Qiu Zicheng, who has already won the trust of Situ Jun, was appointed as the commander of Hanzhong's defense, which made Wufeng greatly relieved. However, this is not enough to reduce the pressure on Longdong and Tianshui. To stabilize the defense, the first thing that needs to be done is to strengthen the military strength.

The 1st and 2nd Division of Northern Luzon has arrived in Kansai, and the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Tengger Army has also arrived in Tianshui. It is possible to draw troops from these two places again, but because of the Kamans in Jiayuguan and the North Jieluk army, the South Jieluk Army has never dared to take it lightly, but half of the five divisions did not dare to move lightly. Especially on the line from Taixuan to Merrington, once the Kamanians break through this line, their strategic situation will be reversed, and the northwestern and eastern regions will be exposed to the attacks of the Kamanians. In view of the fact that the relationship with the Heathrow Empire has been greatly eased, the garrison of the Heathrow people in Nuremberg has dropped to less than 50,000 people, and Yinchuan has only retained the third division of the Tengger Army of Jin Zecheng. The two sides exchanged military observers in Yinchuan and Nuremberg to monitor the number of troops stationed on both sides. This also made Wufeng have an extra division, but Wufeng still did not dare to vacate this division, but put it in Merrington to strengthen Nanjieluk's control and defense.

Zhan Botao's imperial division in Jieluk has been supplemented by Northwest reserve personnel, and has fully restored its organization and combat effectiveness. Wufeng’s military strength in Nanjieluk has actually increased to three divisions, and Merrington’s city defense fortifications and strategic reserve materials have also been carried out in accordance with Wufeng’s intentions in the past two years. A large increase, especially the food and consumable weapon reserves have increased by more than three times. Merrington's reservists have also carried out mobilization and daily training according to the Northwest model. The regular army has exceeded 110,000 people. According to Wufeng's words, it is fully prepared to "fight a big battle and fight a long-lasting battle", which is enough to deal with the siege of more than 200,000 enemy troops for more than a year.

Qin Shuangying sorted out the information according to Wufeng's intention and gently placed it in front of her lover and boss who was sitting at the desk and looking at the map, and said in a low voice: "Wufeng, Lord Ling, Lord Liang and Lord Helian are all here. In addition, the two commanders Priwah and Zawalib have already been waiting for you in the outer hall."

Qin Shuangying was saying that the names of Priwah and Zawalib were like tongue twisters. I even want to suggest that both of them take a Tang name so that they can remember it better. Priwah and Zawalib are the commanders of the Mote and Tubu armies selected by Wufeng after thousands of selections. They are responsible for commanding the entire army of their respective ethnic groups. What's even more rare is that both of them have a certain degree of culture, and their minds are far more open than those of the rigid and conservative nobles in their clan.

"Well, go and invite them over." Wufeng finally woke up from his contemplation, "Master Wang Zongxi is in the reception room next door, please invite him over too."

Because of Wufeng's arrival, the Longdong City Guard has vacated a few rooms for Wufeng. With Fielding in Taixuan, Cui Wenxiu in the Western Regions, Xiao Tang in Qingyang, Wufeng plans to be in Longdong. It's good to stay for a while. Before leaving, Wufeng made a special confession that the entire Tengger, Western Regions Alliance, and Northern Luzon would set up a temporary Central Continental War Zone. The former six prefectures of the Northwest County, the Nanjieluk control area, and the Lulong Mansion established the Northwest Theater, and Fielding replaced himself and the Northwest Joint Staff to control the garrisons in the three places and exercise the right to command the army. Has the right of prior judgment. Except for the Kansai area, Xiao Tang is in charge of all government affairs in Wufeng-controlled areas, but in case of emergency, the commanders-in-chief of the two theaters can temporarily take over all powers.

After a while of footsteps, several people walked into Wufeng's study in unison. Considering Wufeng's hobby, the study room is still divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outer study room is a large room with a semi function of a small reception room, a circle of sandalwood carved chairs, a coffee table inlaid with jade, and two splash-ink landscape paintings by unknown authors. , plain and simple, but quite in line with Wufeng's taste.

"I've seen you." Starting from Liang Chongxin, everyone saluted one by one, and since Wu Feng reluctantly accepted the ideas of the group of people, the minds of the civil servants and generals under him became much more active. At the beginning, Wufeng refused to make a clear statement, which disappointed many people below, especially a few confidantes. Who would not want to look forward to a better future, but if he stays in the northwest, even Wufeng himself A duke with a false name is at the top, even in front of the military and political governor of the Northwest and the governor of Northern Luzon, he has worked hard with real swords and guns, but he still suffers from all kinds of difficulties from the central government of the empire. If they don't talk about it, they have to pay hundreds of thousands of gold coins to get rid of their bodies, otherwise they will be stinging their noses and eyes in the coming year, and it is rare to be clean. If you start to build a government, you will no longer be bound by the central government of the empire, and you will not be in vain of the hard work of the big guy. This idea has become the biggest worry of the gang, until Wufeng came forward to clarify the ambiguity and appease a group of confidants. Finally, this made the group of people feel at ease.

As usual, it was Qin Shuangying who reported the newly obtained information to several people. The changes in the situation in the imperial capital in recent days can be spread to Longdong almost every other day, which is one day faster than that in Qingyang. One of the reasons why Feng chose to establish the command post in Longdong was that Wufeng even wanted to establish the command post in Tianshui, but he was worried that Tianshui was too far east and already belonged to the Heshuo area, which would not be conducive to the transfer of command to other prefectures in Kansai. In the end, Wufeng had to give up this idea.

The return of His Majesty the Emperor from illness surprised everyone, especially Wang Zongxi. Incredible.

"My lord, your news is true? Didn't it mean that His Majesty has been suffering from a serious illness, how could he suddenly recover? This is confirmed by Mr. Gu through a secret channel. This is simply impossible!" Wang Zongxi said in confusion .

"Zongxi, His Majesty has already summoned the ministers. This news cannot be false, and he has already met with many important ministers. It is even more impossible to be false. I have some doubts about His Majesty's sudden recovery last time. However, Zheng did not meet any ministers in private. This time, it is impossible to fake it. They are all old ministers in front of His Majesty, and they cannot be concealed from others. Even the chiefs of several major military forces in the imperial capital have accepted His Majesty's summons. Could it be that others can Can it be done?" Wufeng pondered and said: "I don't know what's wrong here, but His Majesty's summoning of the ministers must be to prepare for the administration of the court, I'm afraid that the few His Highnesses are a happy family. I'm worried."

"My lord, do you mean that His Majesty is about to establish a crown prince?!" Wang Zongxi asked immediately.

"That should be the case, otherwise His Majesty would not have summoned Ma Yuanxiang in such a hurry, as well as the heads of the Habayashi Army, the Gendarmerie Department, and the internal affairs department. As long as the situation in the imperial capital is under control, the several His Royal Highnesses are all in the imperial capital. Next, no matter which prince has the support of His Majesty, he can ascend the throne smoothly." Wu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, "From this point of view, His Majesty's ascension to the throne should be a matter of course. The other Highnesses may not be able to leave Beijing for half a step in this lifetime~IndoMTL.com~My lord, next step, His Majesty will issue an order to take over the military power in various places." Liang Chongxin also took up the words, if the imperial throne transitions smoothly , so many plans need to be readjusted, especially in Kansai, there may be many variables. Once the new emperor comes to court, I am afraid that the control of the four Kansai prefectures, including Lulong and Tianshui, will change hands.

"Well, from a common sense point of view, this step should be taken. As long as the military power is gathered, those highnesses will become toothless tigers. At most, they will bring a gust of wind, but they will not be able to stir up big waves." Wufeng said, "It's just that it's not a simple matter to take over the military power of several places. It's not a matter of changing a few commanders. I'm afraid it will take a while, but as long as His Majesty is around, we can firmly control the situation." The imperial capital occupies the title of righteousness, and it is supported by the Imperial Guard Corps, City Guard Corps, and the Third and Fourth Legions, and it will be a matter of time for the other Highnesses to bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers."

"Hey, it's just a few highnesses who are willing to bow their heads and surrender?" He Lianbo also interjected. His military career in Northern Luzon made him darker, but he was more energetic.

"Of course not. The problem is that they also have to assess the situation. If they act rashly without any chance, they will only seek their own death. Your Majesty will not be merciful at this time." Wang Zongxi said of himself In my opinion, "If your highnesses have any back-up moves, I'm afraid it's time to make a move at this time."

"Well, it's really interesting. Dragon and Tiger will meet Jinghua. This play is really exciting. It would be great if I could be in the imperial capital, so I can enjoy this great play. I really want to know about Situ Tai, Situ Jun, and Situ What will Yuanhui do? Force the palace? Assassinate? Civil remonstrance? Li Daitao stiff?" Wu Feng couldn't help but sighed with his hand on the case, with a leisurely and fascinated look on his face.
