Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
Situ Yushuang naturally didn't understand Ma Yuanxiang's difficulties. As the number one leader of this army, Ma Yuanxiang had an accurate understanding of the true strength of his army. Originally, this army was greatly affected because it seldom participated in actual combat. Although he tried his best to improve this weakness, he could not make up for this fatal flaw after all, especially during the period when he faded out of the leadership of the Imperial Guard. However, the situation of the imperial guards was getting worse and worse. Among the five divisions, except for Huangfu Tiancheng's second division, the combat effectiveness of the other four divisions were greatly affected to varying degrees. The division-level officers are busy watching the situation all day long, choosing who to join, and have no time to ask about the management of the division troops. Now that he has taken over again, although he has rectified the military discipline and military style, the defection of the second division has also caused the entire Imperial Guard to The morale of the army was dealt a considerable blow, and the Second Division suddenly stood on the opposite side of the Imperial Guards, and it was even possible to become a face-to-face rival with the Imperial Guards in the westward battle.
Ma Yuanxiang really wanted to cancel this Western Expedition to Jinzhong, but he knew that neither Situ Yushuang nor Situ Tai would agree with his idea. Now the northern war has entered a critical stage. The city guards began to launch an offensive, and Situ Yushuang took great pains to meet all his financial needs. It was clear that he wanted the imperial guards to join the battle. Complete the goal of attacking Heshuo and completely destroy Xijiang's rule in the Central Plains, but will this battle be that simple?
Li Wufeng's Tiger Wing Army is stationed in Jinzhong, and Jinzhong has always been the gate of the imperial capital, and the city defense facilities are complete. Now Huangfu Tiancheng's second division has also joined the queue stationed in Jinzhong. The four divisions went to confront Jinzhong head-on, but Ma Yuanchang was not at all sure. Although Situ Yushuang also proposed to include the Eighth and Ninth Legions in his Western Expedition Sequence, those two legions seem to have never experienced a decent battle since their founding. Such an army is purely a clay statue in Ma Yuanxiang's heart. , shattered with one blow, worthless.
Infinite troubles plagued Ma Yuanxiang. It even made him regret sometimes whether he should go back to hiding and not get involved in this troubled water. Now that his concubine and Ai'er have returned to freedom, why should he struggle here anymore? But right now, I'm afraid I can only take one step at a time. If it doesn't work, Ma Yuanxiang can only make up his mind to try his best to go to Jinzhong. As for whether he succeeds, it is beyond his control. It can be regarded as an explanation for the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess.
The second half of 699 was probably the most difficult period in Wufeng's life. Internal and external troubles seemed to be mixed with wind and rain and swept towards him. Feng pays more attention to a choice of his own development direction in the future, but the ugly anticlimax of the Machi Khan people still makes Wufeng's decision to send the Second Army into the peninsula war has been questioned and criticized by the so-called staff elites of the Staff Department of the Military Affairs Department. criticize.
The free and active atmosphere of the Staff Department of the Military Affairs Administration should be said to be mainly due to the habit brought by Wufeng, encouraging subordinates to express their opinions boldly, and those who speak are innocent. Style, most of these come from the staff officers of the Imperial Military Academy and the Northwest Military Academy. Some are officers who entered the academy after military training and were elected to the staff department after graduating, and some were directly admitted to the military academy and entered the staff department after graduation. These people have a typical characteristic, that is, they are pretentious. Be wild and unruly, except for being able to maintain a slightly restrained attitude in front of the two directors of military affairs, the rest no matter who they are, they want to show that they are different, and they can handle any military issue. The arguments were so red-faced that each other refused to give in. This kind of atmosphere also caused Wang Jin, the chief of the staff department, a big headache.
The decision to send the Second Army directly to the peninsula war was unanimously questioned by the elites of the Staff Department of the Military Affairs Administration, although this decision was personally made by their most admired King Qin. There is nothing to change, but they still hope to analyze the theory from an academic point of view, and examine whether this decision meets the needs of the current situation in Western Xinjiang.
In their view, although the situation in the peninsula area is also very tense, the Fourth and Sixth Legions should have the strength to support this battle. And the Second Legion should invest in the Imperial Capital. With the help of the Tiger Wing Army, they are also stationed in the Imperial Capital, taking advantage of the opportunity of the west gate of the Imperial Capital to directly capture the Imperial Capital, and completely wipe out the power of the Situ Dynasty in the Imperial Capital, as long as they can occupy the Imperial Capital. Not only is it possible to win the return or neutrality of the city guards who are now threatening Longquan, but it can even force the Puers and Dortons to withdraw from the battle. After all, once the imperial capital representing the entire Tanghe Empire falls into the hands of His Highness King Qin In fact, to a large extent, it announced the change of ownership of the empire. This impact and influence may have unexpected effects on both internal and external countries of the empire. Under the circumstances at that time, the Second Army or adding another Ranger regiment could completely solve Situ Tai's division and the Guards.
When this academic discussion sent by the staff department was sent to Wufeng, Wufeng was immediately attracted by the novel and bold views in this discussion.
An Qier did not return to the imperial capital after Wufeng returned to Xijiang. After all, he and the Situ family have established a clear barrier. Reasonably, the center of Xijiang has been gradually transferred from Qingyang to Hanzhong. Although Qingyang is still nominally the seat of the Dadu Protectorate, due to the recent affairs in Xijiang, more of it is placed on ensuring military operations. It was carried out smoothly, so the Xijiang Government Affairs Office, Foreign Affairs Office, and Legal Affairs Office had to move their offices to Hanzhong along with Wufeng, which also allowed Hanzhong to truly function as the political center of Xijiang.
Although the dispute over who should be the main wife has been shelved due to the severe military challenges that Xijiang is facing, this has not really solved the problem, especially in Xijiang where the impact of military operations has not been felt Those government officials and gentry people, when paying attention to the performance of the Western Frontier Army on various fronts, their attention still has not been diverted from this issue. Almost every day, the "Northwest Star" has more or less such One or two pieces of news and comments about the selection of His Highness Qin's concubine became one of the most concerned issues of the people in Xijiang after dinner.
The issue of Angel's bloodline seems to be hyped up by those who are interested. Due to Li Wufeng's current strength, many people in Xijiang have actually regarded him as his first concubine. A point of contention, counting the dynasties and empires established by the Tang clan in the past dynasties, there are countless foreign women among the emperors' concubines, but none of them became the first person in the harem, and it is even more unacceptable for a prince with foreign blood to become the emperor of the empire , Tanghe people who treat foreigners equally in many other aspects seem to have a particularly stubborn feeling on this point. A prince with blond hair, blue eyes or brown hair and blue eyes becomes the new master of the imperial dynasty. For tens of millions of people in Tanghe It is an unacceptable reality, so no emperor in the past dynasties tried to challenge this sentiment of the Tanghe nation.
Of course, the continent today has never had as frequent exchanges among various ethnic groups as before. Although the pure Tang people still occupy the absolute mainstream in the Tanghe Empire, this trend of thought has gradually faded away, except for some extremely conservative Tang people. Except for the nobles and gentry, the vast majority of Tang people are not so concerned about this point, although deep down in their hearts they hope that a pure Tang woman will become the mother of the imperial dynasty.
It is precisely this kind of sentiment that was instigated by people with a heart, which quickly caused various fluctuations within the scope of Western Xinjiang~IndoMTL.com~ The voices against Angel becoming the first concubine of King Qin and even the queen of the empire in the future have once again risen. Wufeng quickly aroused great attention. This kind of turmoil, which seemed to be just a dispute over candidates for the harem, seemed not so simple after careful analysis. Behind them were also vaguely supported and promoted by various power groups.
An Qier seems to have been pushed to the forefront all of a sudden, and the issue of her bloodline has become the focus of the issue, but almost all the people from the outer domains of the empire unexpectedly supported Angel this time, including Tengger, Northern Luzon Representatives of gentry, gentry, businessmen and gentry from all over the peninsula area expressed their opinions in various ways, and Situ Yutang, as expected, received the support of the gentry of the Tang clan in the inland counties of the empire, including Northwest County. Yuexin also gained a certain degree of support in the Sanjiang, Tiannan and Kansai areas, and the tripartite situation was once again formed. As for Shi Yawei, who was once popular in the early stage, she became a strange unstable factor. Many people paid attention to her stomach. There is a hidden subtext, if she is pregnant with a dragon child, then she may become the biggest destroyer or even the final winner of this tripartite situation. After all, His Royal Highness King Qin has enough candidates for the harem, and King Qin His Highness seems to be unrestrained, and he has not had a single heir for so many years. This strange sign makes the people of Western Xinjiang a little worried about the possibility that His Highness King Qin will have a weak heir. That male heir is really important. Of course, if it is a Dragon Girl, that's not enough to pose a threat to the already formed tripod.
