Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 1: Jin Ge’s first act

Crossing the slightly rough path, a dozen or so horses from the south rode slowly on the path, bringing up a wave of yellow dust. One of them was wearing light armor, a green shirt, and a half-exposed wide-brimmed heart goggle. Half of it was exposed, dancing with dazzling light in the sun. The turtle skin waist knife was hanging from the cowhide belt dangling back and forth, and the horse rushed up the biggest gentle slope. The horse slowed to a halt.

Hawk-like eyes glanced over the verdant and verdant mountains in the west. The lush arbor forest appears taller in the valley, but it is much lower on the hills. The warm sun falls on the body, saying yes It's comfortable, compared to the still cold and windy north, this place is like heaven, but it's a pity that I didn't come to enjoy the sunshine of heaven, Cheng Dayou didn't dare to slack off in the slightest due to the heavy responsibilities hanging on him.

Following behind Cheng Dayou are two generals who are dressed similarly to Cheng Dayou. Nanfang Jianma always looks a little uncoordinated under the crotch of the following man. Some feeling of hardship. Although this kind of pony suitable for the southern mountains has good endurance and load-bearing, its speed and impact are indeed unsatisfactory. Compared with the special zebra and wildebeest of the southern Machihan people, this kind of horse has no wheels. It cannot be compared in speed, and it is inferior in patience, so it is more often used for carrying and pulling carts.

Looking at the west side for a long time, Cheng Dayou turned his gaze back to the face of the man in gray robe who had come close. The mouth is like a skip. A garlic nose seems to be still emitting oil stars.

"Brother Lige. I'm afraid that is the boundary of the Suoketu Principality over there? It seems that there are no residents here." His eyes just turned away from the gray-robed man, and Cheng Dayou said to himself This time, he went south and took the initiative of the Fourth Army of the Empire, who had always hoped to be the first vanguard of the westward advance. The commander of the Fourth Army did not express anything on the surface, but he was afraid that he was still a little uncomfortable deep down. It was just this kind of thing. It is impossible to give in to anyone, not to mention that the empire has just been established, and it is the time to make contributions. Who wouldn't want to take this opportunity?

"Well, the first 20 miles should be the border area between Baliya and Suoketu. Due to historical origins, in fact, the dividing line between the two places in this area is not very clear. I understand that this area is sparsely populated, except for the aborigines who can tell clearly where they are from, which mountain belongs to Bali and which valley belongs to Suoketu. I'm afraid you can't figure it out yourself." Gray Robe The strong man is Mulige, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Empire. Since entering the peninsula, the Fourth Army has never been able to leave this land for half a step. It has fought fiercely with the Machihans several times. Now the east is calm. The empire intends to send troops to the west, but it has transferred an Eighth Army. How can this not make Mulig feel dissatisfied. It's just that he is the most soldier, and obedience is his bounden duty. Although he is unhappy, he still insists on his duty.

"Oh? Isn't it true that no one can figure out the geographical and topographical conditions of this land?" Dayou raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise

"Brother Dayou, things are not as bad as you imagined. It's just that the economic development of the peninsula is unbalanced, and many places are remote mountainous areas. In the past, not many people paid attention to it, but Governor Jinning has strengthened it after taking office. In order to map these border areas, the Military Intelligence Bureau is even ahead of the local government. I believe that the Military Intelligence Bureau should be able to provide us with sufficient information if necessary. Moreover, our scouts have also been in these areas many times. The geographical terrain should be very clear when looking at the border area. This area belongs to the tail section of the Dahengduan Mountains. There are mostly gentle slopes. Compared with the towering and steep middle section of the Dahengduan Mountains, this place can only be called a plain. Even if there is no help, as long as we move westward, we can easily cross here and kill Suoketu City.”

Of course, Muliger knows what the other party is worried about. The terrain at the junction of Suoketu and Zhongnanna is not complicated. It is dominated by hills and valleys, and the valleys have become the main agricultural areas and traffic arteries in this area. Well, if the imperial army really wants to go west, then the only way to choose this place as a breakthrough is the best solution.

"Brother Dayou is right, it seems that I am worrying too much, now we are not worried about the opponent, but to see His Highness, oh no, it should be His Majesty now, what should His Majesty think about it. Brother Lige, This time when Dayou came here, His Majesty once warned me in the imperial capital to be as quiet as a virgin and move like a rabbit. The city-state is probably not a big problem, the only thing that needs to be careful is what kind of counterattack attitude the Sikkim and Western Samoa will take if these two places are attacked.”

Wu Feng ascended the throne half a month ago and became His Majesty the Emperor. The first and second imperial edicts were for appointment and dismissal. I reckon that the State of the Union Address for the Empire should also be released during this time. Datang As soon as the state of the union address covering military and political affairs jointly proposed by the Imperial Council of State and the Privy Council of the Empire comes out, the next step for the empire to take will be a clue, whether it is war or peace, you can also weigh one or two."

Mulig is also pondering what the other party said. Previously, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he sent imperial edicts and mansions to various places about personnel adjustments, appointments and dismissals. Governor Jin Ning of Central South China and Governor Zhong Wenjing of South China Sea have both entered Beijing. They are still waiting for the new governor to take office, but there seems to be no news about the candidate for the new governor. Even the highest officer of the garrison has not been notified yet. It doesn't have much impact either. But this third mansion report is likely to be a State of the Union address representing the future policy direction of the empire. I heard a letter from Linghu Yi, who has been transferred to the head of the Imperial Oversight Council, saying that the empire may still maintain its military offensive. The southwest direction and the Maqihan people are the key points, but this guy Cheng Dayou has come to occupy the vanguard of the southwest advance, and the First Army is continuing to go south. It is estimated that it is also preparing to deal with the Maqihan people. Could it be that the fourth army of my own can't even get a head? Thinking of this, Muliger felt a little depressed. However, thinking of the vague instructions given to him by His Majesty when he went to Beijing to meet the Emperor in ten days, and the explicit or implicit hints given to him by Mr. Bo, the right envoy of the Privy Council, Mulige couldn't help but glance at him again. Could it be that the central government of the empire is still a little worried about this guy, so why should this guy be alone?

"Brother Lige, brother, I am guessing that the First Legion is also heading south. In terms of qualifications, the Eighth Legion is not as good as the First Legion, nor is it comparable to the Fourth Legion of Brother Lige and Wenner. But this time the Eighth Army took the lead, and asked Dayou to familiarize himself with the terrain of Bali and Eastern Samoa first. It seemed that he was going to use troops against Nan'an and Suoketu, but the First Army and the Fourth Army also brought the Eighth Army with them. The Sixth Legion, with so many troops in the peninsula, seems to be making a big fuss. Is His Majesty planning to attack the two fronts together, or is it just a pretext to attack the Machi Khans?"

Jumped off the horse, Cheng Dayou clapped his hands, and affectionately held the horse for the opponent, which made Mulige a little embarrassed. The rebel general of the Taiping Army is not so cold, but think about it, His Majesty told me not to be prejudiced because of the other party's background, let alone affect the relationship between the two armies because of prejudice, or even cause delays in combat opportunities. As the commander of the army, I naturally have to set an example .

Hurry up and jump off the horse, Mulige pressed the horse stiffly and walked side by side with the opponent, "Brother Dayou, it is not impossible to fight on two fronts with the military strength of the empire, especially now that the Maqihan people still occupy In the eastern part of Sanjiang, when I returned to the imperial capital some time ago, the people would also support the possibility that the empire might take military action to recover the eastern part of Sanjiang. However, Lei Juetian, the Minister of State of the Machihans, was visiting the empire and might return the two prefectures in the eastern part of Sanjiang. I also inquired through the old relationship between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Intelligence Bureau, but this matter seems to be very secret~IndoMTL.com~ I only know about this matter, but the specific situation is unknown, Wang The guy who teased him was very tight-lipped, and that guy Gu Dengyun just took office, so he didn't dare to say anything. If this matter is negotiated, it seems unlikely that the empire will go to war with the Machihans again in the short term. Then what will the First Legion do when they go south? Unless the negotiation collapses."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Cheng Dayou was taken aback. When he was passing through the imperial capital to meet Li Wufeng, all the congratulatory envoys from various countries had not yet arrived in Beijing. His Majesty's conversation with him also involved the issue of the war against the Macchihan people. Ask him to lead the Eighth Army to the south as soon as possible to enter the peninsula to familiarize himself with the local climate and geographical environment. Dayou's own speculation is that once His Majesty ascends the throne, the general policy of the DPRK and China will be determined, and the golden weapon will be moved westward.

"That's right, it seems that the Machi Khans are also aware of the seriousness of the situation. If the empire is unified in His Majesty's hands, it will no longer be the empire of the Situ Dynasty in the past. His Majesty's military power is unmatched by anyone in the Middle East. The Machihans were able to draw a tie or even gain the upper hand against the Tanghe Empire. It was because of the cowardice of the Situ Dynasty. If he still wants to occupy Huayang and Yushan, he can only bring disaster on their own." Having said this, Mulige also had a high-spirited expression.
