Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Episode 9

The young man lying on the bed and falling asleep is awakened by nightmares from time to time. Although the war has been over for a week, he still can't let himself out of the shadow of defeat. In order to avoid the stimuli from all sides so that he could sleep peacefully, he had to ask his subordinates to put him on a large ship off the coast of Quanzhou Port.

Staring blankly at the top of the cabin, the gorgeous carvings and hazy silk curtains make the cabin extraordinarily gorgeous. The soft big bed used to be a holy place for his games, but now, in the beautiful and charming Women have the ability to arouse their own interest, even the soft cotton pads feel so uncomfortable at this time.

Defeated, a crushing defeat, if it wasn't for the desperate counterattack of the Milan reinforcements, I'm afraid I can only live in exile in a foreign land at this moment, and now, apart from the annihilated and surrendered armies of the two legions, there are only less than three This division, without the support of Milan's army, I am afraid that Quanzhou will change hands in a blink of an eye if the eldest brother gives an order. But I am a majestic king of Chu, who used to sit on the fertile land of the empire with two counties and twelve prefectures, but now, the army is less than 60,000, and it is still dilapidated. Isn't life a little too cruel to oneself with the arrangement of fate like this?

What should I do now? The Milanese have lost their confidence in regaining Songjiang, and even their original plan to occupy Gusu has been shaken by the powerful fighting power of the elder brother's army. I am afraid that helping to defend Quanzhou is already the limit. Situ Yuan heard this from the vague conversation with their special envoy from China.

What about yourself? I just stayed in Quanzhou for the rest of my life in such a daze? Maybe one day the people in Milan will get tired of him and kick him away, and the big brother's army will come to the city, and those two or three divisions may turn against each other in a blink of an eye. Thinking of this, Situ Yuan shuddered.

No, no, I must not lose my fighting spirit. Situ Yuan cheers for himself in his heart, but if he wants to change the situation in front of him, where should he start? Where is the breakthrough point? Situ Yuan thought hard.

Milanese? I'm afraid it is unlikely that they will be able to do much for themselves for the time being. They are frightened by the military strength of their elder brother, and it is very rare to be able to maintain the status quo. Ninth brother? Although the emperor has six legions in his hands, the Imperial Guard Legion guarding the imperial capital is worthy of a battle. You can only look at the City Guard Legion, but the City Guard Legion is in a cruel fight with the Kamans He was deeply wounded, his vitality has not recovered, and he still shoulders the important task of guarding the western barrier of the imperial capital. As for the other three, fourth, eighth, and ninth legions, they are probably silver-like wax spear heads, which are not good at all. Yes, it is not much better than the two original legions of my own. If I really face the army of my brother, I guess the ending will be the same.

Naturally, Cheng Dayou and Lao Liu don't need to think about it. Taking advantage of the fire is what these two guys are good at. Don't expect them to help you, so who else? Although Li Wufeng's military strength is unparalleled, he is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers. Although his sister is married to him, he can't be expected to send troops to help him out of thin air, right? Who else could it be? Situ Yuan raised his finger to list them one by one, and then excluded them one by one.

Under the fluctuations of the sea water, the slightly shaking cabin caused Situ Yuan, who had been lying on the bed for too long, to feel dizzy. He propped himself up with some difficulty and sat up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." There was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from the bow of the ship ahead, followed by two knocks on the door.

"What's the matter?" Situ Yuan didn't even bother to say anything, none of the news that came one after another was cause for joy. The fall of Weiyang, the fall of Jinhua, and the fall of Gusu. In the face of these bad news, he has been able to accept it with a relatively peaceful mind. Now that the matter has come to this point, even if he is anxious and worried, what can he do? It's better to relax your mind and deal with it calmly.

The door was gently pushed open, and a man came in, "Your Highness has good news."

"Oh? Good news?" Situ Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, stretched his body lazily, and squeezed out a voice from his nasal cavity: "It seems that I haven't heard this term for a long time. Let's hear it. What is the good news, let's see if it can make this king really happy."

"Your Highness, there is indeed good news this time. According to the information from behind, His Highness's second and third navy fleets were ambushed by the Japanese navy in the sea off Yuhang. Not one. In addition, it is reported that the Japanese army has launched a massive attack on the area controlled by His Royal Highness. It is reported that both the Liuqiu Islands and Kamchatka Island have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Capture Gaolong, and Treasure Island has fallen." The stalwart man reported calmly.

"Oh?!" All of a sudden, he got up from the bed, his face flashed with excitement, he rubbed his hands, and paced back and forth in the cabin. Situ Yuan was not very interested in the news behind him. What is interesting is that the Japanese ambushed the big brother's navy, and the big brother's navy was wiped out, which means that the big brother's military power at sea has completely become blank, and the small ships in the inland river are not enough to go to sea. And the actions of the Japanese are likely to anger the eldest brother, and the Japanese have also occupied the Liuqiu Islands, Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island, which will also pose a huge threat to the hinterland of the eldest brother. Will go south, his own safety seems to have another guarantee.

"Is there any reaction from the north? Have the Japanese launched an attack on the mainland?" Situ Yuan was interested in his elder brother's reaction and whether the Japanese invaded the mainland.

"Returning to Your Highness, there is no news about this yet. It is estimated that His Highness has not long received the news, so it is unlikely that he will respond so quickly." The tough man hesitated and replied, "As for the Japanese, I think it's only based on the Japanese. With the current power, I am afraid that it is unlikely to have the power to invade the mainland. Although the strength of the Japanese navy is growing rapidly, the army has been held back by the main force in the Crescent Peninsula on the one hand, and on the other hand it must defend Treasure Island and Kamchatka Island to prevent the island from attacking the mainland. It is estimated that a large number of troops will be needed for popular resistance, and the subordinates believe that they do not currently have the strength to invade the mainland.”

Hearing what his subordinate said, Situ Yuan was a little disappointed. If the Japanese only stopped in the three islands, then with his current strength, he would definitely not provoke the Japanese. What a chance.

"However, the behavior of the Japanese cannot be deduced by common sense, especially now that the Liyuan tribe, the largest tribe of the Japanese, has unified the entire Japanese land, and the momentum is very strong. It is only logical that they took the Crescent Peninsula from the Dorton people, and now it is safe. The strategy is to stabilize the defense of the Crescent Peninsula and digest the acquired territory. However, the Japanese used vicious methods and sold all the Doton people on the Crescent Peninsula to Nanyang as slaves, and they immigrated in large numbers. It stands to reason that they should maintain a relatively peaceful environment now. to accumulate strength, but they did not expect that they would attack the Liuqiu Islands, Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island in succession after only half a year. Although it hurt His Highness, he didn't have any power to fight back."

"You mean it is still possible for the Japanese to invade the mainland?" Situ Yuan said thoughtfully.

"That's right. The purpose of the Japanese ambushing the navy fleet under the Grand Highness is to completely eradicate His Highness's ability to use the navy to counterattack. However, the empire on Kamchatka Island and Treasure Island has never paid much attention to it. The population is sparse, and the garrison is even more It is pitifully small, once the Japanese people succeed, they will definitely imitate the practice on the Crescent Peninsula and immigrate on a large scale. According to my subordinates, if there is no interference from outside forces ~IndoMTL.com~ It is estimated that the Japanese people will be able to settle in within three to five months. The two islands have a firm foothold, and at that time, the Japanese can also spare their hands to spy on the empire’s East China Sea and the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, so the subordinates assert that the Japanese will become a serious disaster for the empire.”

The stalwart man has a good understanding of the situation inside the Japanese people, and his analysis is reasonable, but now Situ Yuan has no interest in any major disasters of the empire. Only in this way will it be possible to benefit yourself, but it seems that it is still difficult to achieve this goal, but at least this has an opportunity, as long as you plan and operate well, maybe it is not hopeless.

Seeing his master staring out the window and lost in thought, the capable man bowed knowingly and said: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, this subordinate will leave."

"Well, Chuanyue, do you think the Japanese are a good partner for our cooperation now?" The corners of his mouth twisted slightly, Situ Yuan obviously spent a lot of effort to say such a sentence.

"Your Highness?! Cooperate with the Japanese?!" A little surprised looking at his master, some can't believe their ears.

"Chuanyue, there is nothing to be surprised about. The Japanese are fighting against my elder brother and the Dorton people at the same time. From the north to the south, where can they replenish strategic supplies? Even if there is some smuggling, I'm afraid they can only do it secretly They can’t meet their needs. If we want to get large-scale supplements, we can only go through our Quanzhou, or the Milanese, but the Milanese are definitely unwilling to see the Japanese power expand too fast in the Great East, so their only target is us. , I think Liyuan Shanchuan must have seen this too, and I don't think it will be long before the Japanese envoys will arrive in Quanzhou." Situ Yuan's eyes flashed with viciousness.
