Power and Empire Chapter 2384: Wind over the corridor (4)
The Six Nations Allied Forces turned their heads, and the reinforcements turned into enemies. Naturally, the biggest response was Istanbul,
The one hundred thousand army was advancing to the north and turned suddenly, and the 15,000 cavalry rushed straight to the periphery of Kyoto of the Stan Empire like spikes, deceiving three lines of defense in succession in the name of being ordered to enter Beijing, if it were not for the periphery of Istanbul. The defense line needs the emperor’s order to enter. The coalition cavalry has already entered the city of Kyoto, making the emperor's flag, which has just been established less than three months ago, dyed red again. The sudden turn of the coalition forces made the Istanbul side illusions at first. Was it the dissatisfaction caused by the delayed delivery in the south, or did the coalition forces have new demands? No matter how it can be discussed, why is it necessary? The Kyoto side sent people to negotiate, but as the silence disappeared, the prince of the Istan Empire, who did not know his life or death, stood up from the coalition forces. The envoy who went to negotiate was unwilling even for a moment. Stayed, the prince is back, the crown prince is back! This news was like a flat stone falling like a mirror lake, and countless ripples were suddenly scattered, spreading in Kyoto at an unquenchable speed. The direction of the entire Istanbul Kyoto changed, and the front was loyal. The ministers who acted for the death also showed a hesitant nature at this moment,
Compared with the difficult position of the second prince, if it were the eldest prince, he would have become the emperor. After all, the prince was the orthodox crown prince that Emperor Thoradin I had painstakingly trained for more than 20 years. The crown prince regarded it as the future emperor. The heart of the people was a matter of course. This time, the prince played the banner of the restoration of the empire. The local factions are chilling. Now the prince has set up the banner of restoration. There are few regional governors who are dissatisfied with the status quo of the second prince’s confidant. There are not a few people who are impressed. Everyone knows that Kyoto has begun to work on the local. With this opportunity, there will be no chance again,
The forces that have been suppressed in the area for many years burst out. The local army marched towards Kyoto under the banner of various kings. They only supported the king, not the new emperor, but the prince. The new emperor was caught in the area. The power of the governors who contemptuously called the "Pseudo-King", the Central Government, was already very weak. If it weren't for the entry of 100,000 southern coalition forces, who would be in charge of the Central Government's decision by the regional governors? Not to mention that this time the Central Government exchanged six southern provinces for the removal of soldiers, so that the regional governors would die and give up six provinces at a time, one-third of the southern region. Who can trust such an imperial emperor? Once, I didn't know which areas would be abandoned!
"Those who betray the monarch should all be put to death,"
"The other party is prepared, and one hundred thousand is under pressure, so we still need to calm down!"
"At this time, there is still room for calm? Can't you come, this is a conspiracy, from the beginning to the end! There is no room for concession, this is war, it is a naked act of declaring war!"
Above the Kyoto court, the ministers were silent, and the generals had quarreled into a mess. Now Istanbul, Kyoto is no longer what it used to be. Nearly 80,000 war-trained troops have just completed a battle near Kyoto. The suppression of the three provinces is no longer the weak Kyoto that was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of rebels. In addition, the rebels have been defeated and are no longer able to recover. The military’s confidence begins at once. Swell quickly,
An army of 80,000 is not a big deal in the Istan Empire in its heyday. At the beginning, Thoradin I conquered Feshan, but 300,000 elites, but now it is in the Istan Empire, compared to the regional one or two. Wan, in terms of the extraordinary strength of the troops, is already enough to drive out to make the opponent surrender. After a small test, the governors of the three nearby provinces immediately went to Kyoto to plead with trepidation. From the new emperor to the generals, this is enough. I have been moving for several days,
"The time for the rejuvenation of the empire has arrived. Your majesty’s heroic posture should be seen by the entire empire, so that the clowns will be ashamed of themselves and surrender to the center!" According to the plan, it is believed that Kyoto’s strength is already abundant, and it is a good time for external expansion. The only thing that is restricted is its military strength. However, with three savings, with hard work, it should be able to expand the two legions by 60,000 people. By then, Kyoto will be able to expand the two legions with 60,000 people. An army of 150,000 servants, where the soldiers are headed, who dares not to surrender, within one year, the once glorious Istan Empire will reappear with Oubaro Oriental
" is a group of people who clearly have eyes but can't see!"
In the queue of ministers, an imperial minister in a uniform with a gold-line neckline glanced contemptuously at the corner of his mouth. A reckless man is a reckless man. What else can he do besides shouting for war and murder? Expansion and wars cost money. Do you know what is happening in Kyoto now? Such crazy army expansion has caused Kyoto’s economy to be under pressure. It is on the verge of bankruptcy. The food on the market must be given priority to the army. The iron ore on the market is purchased by the military at low prices. Unbearable merchants are scrambling to flee Kyoto because of lack. Labor, there are more and more deserted fields outside of Kyoto. This fall will inevitably be a big drop in production. Thank God if it can be half of last year’s
Even so, the military only knows to call for expansion, thinking that as long as it has soldiers in its hands, it is strong. How do you know that money is the most needed for military expansion, recklessly recruiting troops, unlimited expansion, but did not see Kyoto is becoming a huge barracks, like a deformed monster. In order to maintain it, it ruthlessly devours everything that can be swallowed. The most important department is the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs. 80% of Kyoto’s tax revenue is When used to expand the army, three-quarters of the people on the promotion list each time are soldiers,
At this time in Kyoto, Istanbul, you will see people in the streets full of people. Three or four out of ten are soldiers in uniforms. In the tavern it is soldiers who are talking loudly about state affairs, standing with a contemptuous look. By the side of the street, the people who glared at the wealthy carriages passing by were soldiers, and those who dragged their lame legs and severed their hands to beg on the street were soldiers. In the planning steps, the centralization of power, the most important thing, became unknowingly. From the 20,000 troops before the beginning of the year, the expansion plan to the current 80,000 troops,
Central government power has not been gathered, the regional financial resources have not been obtained, on the contrary, the heavy military expenditure has been reduced several times in a short period of time, even in a place like Kyoto, even the ministers and dignitaries desperately squeeze In the region, I also feel that the empire’s money bag is being emptied by the bottomless pit of the army. For the military’s actions like this, the ministers naturally have complaints
They tried their best to push His Royal Highness the Second Prince to the emperor's throne, asking for more benefits and status, but who knows that after the new emperor became the throne, besides giving them a bunch of empty titles of little use, the real The advantage is still to let those soldiers occupy the war against the insurgency. In order to absorb troops as soon as possible, more than 200,000 civilians were absorbed into the imperial army. In order to resist the approach of the rebels, civilians were pushed up to death in large numbers. The bustling Kyoto, with a total population of more than 600,000, has experienced the fiasco of Fei Shan and the counter-insurgency war. The current population is less than 300,000, of which 80,000 are soldiers. The ratio of nearly three to one is already huge. Exceeding the capacity of Kyoto
Many of these soldiers who fought **** battles during the war, broke their families and lost their wives, and the wounded and disabled are even more incalculable, because the treasury is already empty, and the bounty promised by Kyoto for the war against the insurgency Naturally, it was released, and those who enlisted into the army caused the land to be annexed by the nobles!
, such a huge group, after witnessing the drunken fans in Kyoto and the harsh squeeze of the common people in Kyoto, how can they have a good impression of such a Kyoto?
is such an army, and it is also relied on by the generals as a barrier to Kyoto. It is ridiculous. In this case, the new emperor is invisible, and the ministers can see, but the ministers are all staring at the land of the civilians. No one will speak for these future slaves. The Istanian Empire adopts the slave system. A large number of bankrupt civilians are the best source of slaves. The generals of the military will not say that they need to make military contributions. To get the benefits out of the rewards, to persuade the emperor to agree to a full-scale military expansion. Naturally, he must not mention the plight of the lower-level soldiers or the issue of military expenditures. The expansion will continue with all his strength. As long as the capital of Kyoto is thrown out in one go and occupying a few more provinces, what is the problem? It's all solved! These generals who were promoted from the middle and lower ranks by the emperor’s tone still had their minds at the level of middle and lower ranks. The new emperor itself was not a material for leading troops. Naturally, he didn’t understand these. His heads belonged to the ZTE Empire. Thoughts, these sections will naturally not be considered.
The rain falls continuously, covering the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of whiteness, turning it into a wetland with puddles everywhere
The horseshoes stepped on the ground, and the water splashed all over. Varisian stopped the horse and looked at the half-salt and half-saline land ahead, and the camp down the river, which belonged to the Khayala pro-military camp. The military flags, squeezed close to the river bank, had a total of 50,000 people, spanning three or four miles, spreading out around a number of large towers with large flags, layered on top of each other like a giant plane, Show a very rigorous layout
"Master Hayala, he really deserves to be the former No. 1 general in the Istan Empire. Just looking at the camp in front of me makes me feel shocked in secret!" Varisian raised his whip and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Said Hayela, the Governor of the Eastern Province next to it
"Master Varisian is too polite. Compared with the majesty of the adults in the northern part of Obaro, it is ranked in the top 20 of the mainland famous. My Hayala is just a turtle nestling in a small place. That's it"
ha also touched his belly with his hands, grinning at the corners of his ears, a very happy image, wearing a swollen tube armor, shiny by the rain, like a giant wild boar dressed in red His big cloak, riding on a war horse that is larger than other war horses, the heavy weight and armor made the giant horse pant a little, and was ordered to withdraw from the territory of the Istanian Empire, losing more than 20,000 A highland warrior, logically speaking, this fierce and famous war pig should have complained about the decision of the empire, but judging from his current enthusiasm, there is no complaint at all. The reason is very simple. Most of the highland warriors who died were not direct descendants of Hayela
The highlanders moved to the Eastern Province with them, it does not mean that they are all willing to obey the management of Hayela
In this six-nation coalition raid, he used his strength to fight against the tribes who were not obedient to discipline. When they attacked the Istan Empire earlier, they had to attack their compatriots in order to steal supplies and military merits. All tribes have suffered a lot. During this time, these tribes have shown a lot of submissiveness. Hayla has also married several women in succession. People are naturally full of spirits when they are happy. The famous imperial general Varisian The arrival of 100,000 elite empires in the eastern provinces made the highlanders know for the first time the terrible military front of the empire. Hayala, the governor of the eastern empire, became more and more daunted by the highland tribes, and Hayala himself The direct line is quite a terrifying elite, and now it is backed by a hundred thousand imperial army.
At the highlander meeting that ended yesterday, Hayala has been elected as the new leader by the highlanders. The empire has sold a favor like Hayala, and Hayala is now devoted to the empire.
According to the plan, Hayala will gather forces within five days to attack the Istan Empire again. At the same time, Varisian’s 100,000 elite empires will also march with them. Of course, this is an illusion, 100,000 empire troops. The 20,000 cavalry in the middle of the road will turn back halfway and directly push towards Feshan’s capital. According to the news from the eyes of Feshan’s capital, with the departure of the imperial army, the nobles in the capital frequently conspired with the special envoys of the six southern countries. More than ten ships’ weapons and equipment were sent to Feishan’s capital. Ten ships’ weapons were enough for thousands of soldiers. It was obviously insufficient to launch a direct resistance against the empire, but it was enough to launch a sudden blow at a critical moment. Obviously, Fei King Shan’s goal should be an important imperial general like Valisian, but Valisian doesn’t know, why is King Feshan so sure~ IndoMTL.com~ I will suddenly withdraw from the front line and even ambush. So kill the game!
"Master Varisian, urgent report from Istanbul!"
The cavalry sent the staggering news that the Crown Prince of Istanbul has appeared outside Kyoto in Istanbul, accompanied by the one hundred thousand six-nation coalition forces. Varisian and Khayala could not help but look at each other. The plot changed. Too bloody, Varysian smiled coldly. That's how he looked at the eagle flag fluttering on the top of the camp. Although he was not completely sure of what he was thinking, Varysian had guessed part of it.
It’s unbelievable to say that the rapid changes in Istanbul will involve me,
is very simple. Only the powerful Falcon Empire can assist the Istanian Empire against the Allied Forces of the Six Nations. Istan Kyoto is surrounded by regiments and cannot be reached quickly even with reinforcements, but the Empire Army can, because the Empire has other countries. The navy advantage that I don’t have, from Fei Shan to Istanbul, Kyoto, it took two or three days before and after,
If the new emperor of Istanbul is willing to pay a price large enough, the possibility of the empire agreeing to send troops to assist is very high,
The enemy of the enemy is the friend. Anyway, the empire has essentially declared war on the six southern countries.
is messed up, the plan is completely messed up! Varithian frowned and clasped the emergency report in his hands. This situation was definitely beyond the emperor's expectation. Is it necessary to carry out the previous plan? ☆(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
