Seventy-one, the feast of power (middle)
"...This is indeed a feast of dividing power! I just don't know what I can get?" Fili couldn't help but sigh quietly when he said that Teacher Rebecca's description of the current situation in the empire, not knowing what to say.
Indeed, when Ms. Elaszhuo led her troops to 400,000 troops and came to the city of the imperial capital, the three-year civil turmoil in the Naiserel Empire had already reached the point where the talisman had to be drawn.
——With the disparity between the people and the few, the last 20,000 remaining Southern Army in the imperial capital, saw that the Tukan Khanate reinforcements were not delayed, and seemed to be completely discouraged. They no longer had the determination to fight to the death, and they did not have the idea of letting themselves die together with this city.
In terms of the Northern Army, who was sure to win, he hoped to receive an intact imperial capital instead of just taking away a pile of broken rubble with corpses and internal conflicts, so he did not intend to kill the Southern Army.
Since the war cannot be fought, it is the turn of negotiations and Han Xuan to return everything to the track of political settlement.
After a brief negotiation and approval from Ms. Elastra to ensure her personal safety, Digrio, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army and King of Cormier, announced on December 6 that the imperial capital had dismissed a part of the mercenaries who requested the termination of the contract as a "unprepared city", and then took the remaining 150 million more loyal Cormier troops out of the city and left, handing over the imperial capital and the central government.
Now, Barut, the nominal supreme leader of the Naiseril Empire, is even allowed to stay in the official residence for legal reasons, and wait for the new chief constituent election to be completed before handing over the power to resign.
The above treaty has not yet been concluded. The remaining more than 2,000 imperial guards and more than 3,000 patrolmen, as well as more than 5,000 Sambi's Republic soldiers who were released from the prisoner-of-war camp have changed their flags and sworn allegiance to Ms. Elaszhuo.
Among them, the soldiers of the Sambian Republic who learned that their hometown was brutally ravaged by the Tukan barbarians' "reinforcements" were already full of ruins and were full of corpses, even more moaned and regretful.
Many people even wrote blood letters to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army to request battle, claiming that they had "reformed their hearts and faces", "deeply dismissed their treason and the great harm they caused to their hometown and homeland." They hoped to reform with practical actions. As a predecessor of the army, they went south to Sambiya's hometown to wipe out these "barbarians who dared to invade the territory of the empire" and "internal jiān who colluded with the barbarians."
Ms. Elaszhuo comforted the above righteous request and stated that after the new government was established, they would definitely send troops south to regain their hometown. However, before that, they would be asked to be calm and to endure for a few days.
Everything seems to be moving towards a peaceful end, and the haze of a full-scale civil war seems to have disappeared.
Several elite legions of the Northern Army have taken over the entire imperial capital. During the civil strife, members of Congress and great arcane scattered around the world came from all over the place when they heard the news and gathered under Ms. Elaszhuo's tent to make a share of the pie. At the critical moment of the alternation of new and old regimes, they could either seek a good position for themselves or gain more funding and authority for their organization.
As for the tens of thousands of Tukan barbarian cavalry who were still slaughtering in Sambia and the valleys, it seems that everyone has forgotten that no one thinks that these barbarians can defeat the invincible 400,000 Northern Army, and it is absolutely impossible to escape from the empire. The fate of destruction has long been destined. Therefore, the more they are now, the more miserable their fate will be...
If that's the case, why worry?
"...Ah, this is the strangest civil war ever. In the more than three years since the split of the empire, the two camps of the north and south sides seemed to be tense, but there was no slightly decent battle between the regular troops of the north and south armies, just staring at each other. During this period, almost all the civil wars were killed and injured, which occurred in the killing of the southern army and the northern army, fighting against the northern army: such as the Luskan rebellion, the mutiny of the eastern legion, the coup of the Cormier palace, and this time the internal strife between the two states of Cormier and Sambiya in the imperial capital...
Whether it is the Southern Army or the Northern Army, they yelled to defeat the other party, but in fact they just pointed their guns at their colleagues in the same camp. Well, it seems that the only battle between the north and the south was actually the Japanese archipelago on the other end of the planet - the inexplicable Southern Army expedition team encountered in the Kafei Basin when our Giant Bear Legion assisted the shogunate army to suppress the rebellion.
But they were abandoned by the allies of the Anti-State Sect, and they were almost as destitute as refugees and beggars. They seemed to surrender without firing a few shots. Now they have been incorporated into the Giant Bear Legion. After being sucked away at least one-third of their blood, the pale-faced Feili couldn't even sit steadily. She had to lie in the familiar and soft embrace of the vampire female professor panting, while complaining casually about the "strange situation witnessed in recent years" "…………………………………… Take the decisive battle for example. It has obviously not fired a shot or an ammunition on the battlefield, nor has it seized any territory of the Southern Army, but it has forced them to withdraw from the imperial capital and have not even gone far. The Northern Army has begun to celebrate the victory and even compete for the fruits of victory... Don't they feel that they are too happy too early?"
"…I don't think Elaszhuo was too happy too early. At this point in the moment, there is no longer any change."
The female vampire professor who was holding him shook his head disapprovingly, "...The military power of the north and the south is so different. The Northern Army does not have to care about how many troops the enemy has destroyed, and does not have to be obsessed with the gains and losses of any piece of land. As long as the enemy directly takes away the great name used by the enemy to launch a war, all military issues are not a problem. Looking at the entire Feren Continent, who else can defeat the regular army of the 400,000 Naiserel Empire?!" "Only,......, this is... No matter what tricks the Southern Army has, the Northern Army has absolute advantage in crushing it!"
Feili thought for a moment and felt that she was worrying about it before. No matter how anxious the Southern Army was, she would be able to fight against the 400,000 Northern Army on the current continent of Feren.
Although according to rumors, the Southern Army seemed to have some confrontation with the Dragon Witch Sect, Harpist Alliance, and Red Robe Mage Association, the first two were shameless terrorist organizations. Sending a few good players to engage in assassination and other strong players to fight head-on, but it was not possible for them to pull up several legions to fight head-on. At most, it would be difficult to get a few thousand members. Moreover, it was an unorganized and undisciplined mob, although it was a group of mobs with high martial arts skills.
Although the Red Robe Mage Association sits on the Sel Plateau with a population of tens of millions, on the one hand, it has not been restored for a long time and is unstable internally: on the other hand, Sel has a population of tens of millions, but it has no industry or education, and even lacks food. Even if it expands its military and prepares for war, soldiers can only fight with wooden spears and kitchen knives, and they cannot gather enough magicians and priests to accompany the army - this is a rare senior intellectual in Sel.
Even if such a poor and backward army can gather millions, the Naseril Empire only needs a regular legion to easily defeat it. Moreover, the more people there are, the more people they eat, and the slower they move. If the red-robed mages really conscripted and fought like this, then most soldiers would probably have starved to death on the road before they even left the border.
Even Timur Khan, who has recently set off a new round of nomadic waves, and his 700,000 troops, are actually unable to threaten the Nair Empire. The medieval nomadic army with 700,000 self-produced war horse equipment is not a little worse than the 400,000 modern regular army of the Nair Empire. If these nomadic people engage in some elusive small-scale disturbances, it may still be a headache, but if the two sides fight head-on, not to mention the 700,000 grassland cavalry, even 70 million people, they are destined to be slaughtered, and they will never be able to win in the face of artillery, continuous guns, bastions, trenches, dragon knights and compound attack magic.
The reason why Timur Khan was able to sweep the Near East countries in the past few months, proudly claimed that "turn the places where the sun can shine into our pastures" was not because the iron cavalry of the grassland barbarians was still unparalleled, but because most of these countries were divided into internal parts, and were defeated by the protracted civil war and the drought that thousands of miles away from the naked land. The ridges and bones could not gather enough counterattack power. There were also powerful internal jiāns such as the Dragon Witch Sect and the Red Robe Mage who acted as a guide party, so they were conquered so easily.
However, if he really brought such arrogant confidence to Neserel, he would definitely be hit and bleeding unless someone could find a way to erase all the hard powers that were strong enough to stand out in the world before this...
"... Then, it is precisely because of this confidence in the military strength of the empire that these unconforming politicians began to rush out to shelters during the turmoil when the war was not yet extinguished and the southern rebellious armed forces had not yet surrendered, gathering like crows chasing bodies for the long-coveted rotten flesh, and ignoring the bloody tragedy of millions of people in the valley and Sambiya.
Speaking of this, Feili couldn't help but sigh and shook her head, "I thought that I would even have to share a large part of the war bonus to such a group of fence-like unconventional guys. It really made me feel indescribable! "Only,..., what's the solution? Recruiting surrender and rebel is also the rule of the Game of Thrones. We can't defeat too many people at once, especially without too much blood and sacrifice - not many people died, so there are naturally too few power vacuums that can be freed up!"
Rebecca stretched in the hot spring pool and said indifferently, "...Don't worry about the shameless politicians who have come to flatter and seek official positions recently. After all, they rely on this skill to make a living. The three most unreliable virtues in the world are the self-cultivation of actors, the professional ethics of politicians and the righteousness of lawyers. The actors have always had many scandals, politicians have always been cold-blooded and ruthless, and lawyers are recognized as guys who can trade gold coins with rosy...
Even if we act shameless sometimes, we can only learn to be tolerant.
As for the Republic of Sambi and the villages and towns in the valleys that were slaughtered by Tukan cavalry, although it seemed pitiful to hear the news, they were all self-inflicted - who told these two places to stand under the Southern Army? And the barbarian cavalry that swung their swords and killed them were also invited by the Sambiya authorities themselves, otherwise these nomadic peoples would not have thought of crossing the sea of fallen stars and stepping into the territory of the empire! Now that they are so miserable, who can they blame?
Alas, no matter how ugly the politicians look at the power feast, they can at least resolve the unrest peacefully, and there is no need to let their compatriots kill each other... It is better than the Xianglong Empire, and they can only fight again in the end!"
"What? The civil war broke out in the Xianglong Empire? So fast? I thought it could be delayed for a few years!" After hearing this news, Feili was shocked for a moment - he had just driven the Xiangrui floating battleship not long ago, flew back from the East along the Silk Road, and had an adventure deep in the Gobi Desert. "...... Half a year ago, when my Xiangrui set sail, the overall situation in the Eastern world seemed to be quite quiet. What was the final result of the "Peaceful National Founding Conference" held by Li Huamei in Nanjing?"
"...What else can it be? Of course it's a miscarriage!" Rebecca shrugged and spread his hands. "Just after you drove the Xiangrui Roll west," the Peaceful National Founding Conference declared a complete failure because it could not bridge the demands of all parties. The Xianglong Empire returned to the old path of heroes' competition, and once again broke out in the warlord melee across the country!"
The female professor took off her glasses from her nose, sniffed at the mirror, and then carefully wiped it with a piece of velvet cloth. At the same time, she said slowly, "First, the "Peaceful National Construction Conference" hosted by Li Huamei in Nanjing was unsincere and delayed for more than half a year, and finally declared abortion. Then, the vassal states of various parties recruited again and started a new round of force duels."
Among them, after the demise of the old dynasty, Li Zongyun, the most powerful Qin King, was not only the most capable candidate to unify the country with force, but also the number one public enemy that the major vassal states in the country feared the most.
So, the Duke of Qi, Liu Yefei, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi,
The seven provinces in Shandong and Anhui formed an offensive and defensive alliance to confront the powerful Qin army. Liu Yefei personally led the main force of the Qi army to fight westward and invaded Henan controlled by the Qin army, which kicked off the Central Plains Battle.
Our old friend, His Excellency Li Huamei, the governor of Zhejiang, and the old eunuch eunuch party leader Yayi'an, who was in charge of Nanjing, originally formed an alliance with Li Zongyun and formed a Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition, planning to launch an attack from the eastern front of the Central Plains battlefield and attack the Allied forces from the east and west with the Qin army.
Who knew that the result was that the mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole was behind.
Li Huamei's army had just rushed to cross the river north, and Xijiang was attacked by the Annan Governor Liu Yu, and was landed by the Annan Army to seize the Hangzhou City Base Camp. The next battle of Zhoushan broke out, and the Li family fleet was caught off guard by the Liu family fleet. The Dinghai Port, as the base, was lost. Two-thirds of the warships were injured and sunk. The other ships fled in a scattered manner. Miss Li Huamei had been in the position of the Zhejiang Governor for less than a year. Before her butt was even hot, she had been snatched away!
Then, the eunuch Yayi'an, the eunuch party, also changed his mind and formed an alliance with General Liu Yu, the governor of Annan who occupied Zhejiang. Without territory and supplies, Li Huamei had no choice but to step down, abandon the army that had been cut off for many days, and hid in the Shanghai Concession as an apartment. However, she encountered an illegal fundraising financial scammer in the concession, which caused her last little money to be wasted...
Just when Li Huamei was driven out by the landlord with a broom because she could not pay the rent. She had to live on the streets like an abandoned cat when the wind and rain were cold and rainy, my old friend naturally kindly took her and her old subordinates, and then incorporated her remaining fleet. This time, a large-scale transport of troops was returned to the local area, which was the escort fleet admiral of her escort fleet. As well as the veteran General Yang Xien and the five thousand Zhejiang soldiers who were desperate under him, they were also taken in by me. This time, they can be used to strengthen your momentum." "...As for the latest situation in the Xianglong Empire, until I left the East, the Qin army, the Allied army, the Annan army and the Jing army of the eunuch party were still there.
