Seventy-eight, the Five Kingdoms Debt Collection Group was officially established!

Seventy-eight, Five-Nation Debt Collection Group, officially established

In October of the third year of Kant, with the failure of the first raid of the Far East Fleet in Nesèrel's Far East Fleet, the officials of the court who came back from panic, cheered and celebrated for a moment, and began to deploy a counterattack plan to recover lost territory with astonishing degrees.

According to the strategy of pacifying thieves designated by Emperor Kant, the imperial government army, which represents benevolence and justice, will fight back at the same time on three battlefields.

First, although the Western fleet has retreated, the leader of the eunuch party, Yayi'an, and Guo B, still occupy Zhenjiang and threaten the capital. Another party gathers to join. There are already 40,000 to 50,000 rebels under his command. It is really a big concern and must be eliminated.

To this end, Emperor Kant sent out his strong combat power - the Holy Maiden of Furong Sect, who had just used the Yinén formation to defeat the barbarians of the Western Paradise, and asked her to recruit demon sects from all over the capital in the name of the imperial court and join forces to counterattack Zhenjiang.

However, since they became famous in the battle on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, the saints of Furong Sect and the senior sisters are really popular in Nanjing. There are countless powerful people who are invited to entertain each other every day, and gifts such as gold, silver, fine and soft, silk, satin, fragrant powder and rouge have been piled up in several courtyards. No matter where the senior sisters go, they all bow down to the streets to worship. The praises are like seas and NTVs cannot find the north, so they have been dragging and unwilling to set off... And Emperor Kant also agreed with this situation with great tolerance.

Secondly, although the imperial court brazenly provoked the Gentiles and suffered this catastrophe in the capital, the foreigners in the Shanghai Concession had to be attacked (otherwise they would not be able to pay the debt). For this reason, the Grand Secretary of Fei Liguo, who had failed without fighting in Yuhu Taiwan a few days ago, was ordered to be dismissed from office and made meritorious service on his crimes. He continued to go out of the Jingdong Expedition and attack the Shanghai Concession occupied by the foreigners.

Since the six thousand soldiers and horses that the Grand Secretary of Fei Liguo had worked hard to manage were completely defeated and dispersed, the court could not distribute troops, so the emperor gave him a few letters of appointment and asked him to find a way to recruit soldiers and train... Of course, except for a piece of empty paper, there was no silver, no food, no weapons, no ammunition, and everything had to be done by the Grand Secretary of Fei Liguo himself.

So, Grand Secretary Fei Liguo had to bring in the foreign gun team of Aner Le Bus, the only remaining team under the name of the Jiangdong Expedition Camp, and was miserably prepared to send troops to the east and fought the regiment training ambassador Wang Qinian, who had served as the short-term regiment training ambassador, to go to his hometown in Suzhou in advance to prepare for the recruitment of the regiment training. The Aner Le Bus also became a blessing in disguise and was promoted to the high position of deputy general manager of the Jiangdong Expedition Camp - it's a pity that there were still not many subordinates.

Later, according to the urgent report from the Zhejiang Governor's Yai, the Fujian Navy Admiral Dong-Cheng, has now been ordered to go north and settle in Hangzhou City. Hundreds of warships and 30,000 heroes under his jurisdiction are all waiting for the battle, ready to kill the enemy in blood for the court.

Therefore, after Emperor Kant attacked Fei Liguo in the east, he planned to set up a Zhejiang camp and let the Fujian navy attack foreigners from the south. However, this candidate for the head coach was still hesitant - should he send a civil minister to supervise the army, or should he directly let Dongén Biaoyu be the head coach?

However, before the three troops planned by the court had really moved, the pile of bad news from all directions had already made the civil and military officials in the court dizzy.

--The jackals in front have not yet driven away, but a group of hungry tigers behind them have rushed in to chat.

In the northeast, Duke Liu Yefei of Qi rushed south and forcibly took over the cities of Xuzhou, Haizhou and other cities in Huaibei, which had weak defenses, and expelled the salt supervisors stationed in Haizhou Salt Field and the mine supervisors of Xuzhou Iron Factory, and took these two treasure pots into their hands. Regardless of the iron ore in Xuzhou, the Huai salt in Haizhou can bring at least three to four million taels of silver to the court every year, and raised the large salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Once these two treasure pots are lost, the court's fiscal and tax revenue will become more and more embarrassing, and the power of Qi Fan will expand sharply.

In the northwest direction, King Li Zongyun of Qin led 50,000 troops across the Qinling Mountains in the name of serving the king. He easily captured the Hanzhong prefectures without bloodshed, and then further pointed to the south. He was about to look forward to Shu, and his sharp edge was approaching Shu, the country of Tianfu in Shu

Once Guanzhong and Bashu are united, the Qin army will truly have the strength to sweep the **, but the court is unable to intervene at all.

Liu Yu, the Duke of Annan, who was on the border of the southern desert, followed the fun with enthusiasm, and personally led the 8,000 Black Flag Army, claiming to be 30,000, sailing all the way north. Along the way, extorting all the prefectures and counties along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, asking for silver, wine, and food for rewarding the army. If he didn't follow, he would act as a stunt to attack the city and rob, and even hang the county magistrate and the prefect on the beams of the house... The current Black Flag Army fleet had just arrived in Quanzhou, Fujian, and the impeachment documents like snow had already flown into the palace.

What’s scary is that according to some unreliable rumors, there seem to be ** party members in the Black Flag Army being active...

――There are no reinforcements from the king and the guards. It is clearly the bandits who took advantage of the situation.

At this time, not only these big vassal states wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but even some small vassal states refused to miss this opportunity.

For example, the three towns of Yichang, Changde and Hengyang, stationed on the edge of Huguang, although they were small and had few people and barren land, and each raised only three or five thousand soldiers, still rushed into the empty imperial territory with pride and tried to encroach on the fertile and prosperous plains of the two lakes. In order to compete for the prosperous provincial capital Changsha, Changde and Hengyang, a large-scale fire broke out.

In the nearest Ganzhou Town, Jiangxi Province, there were 10,000 troops in the town. In the name of serving the king, they went north along the Ganjiang River, and the soldiers pointed directly at the provincial capital Nanchang. The officials of Nanchang were stunned for a moment. They didn't know whether they should turn it over or accept it, so they had to report to the court for instructions...

But the Wei King Wanyan Chubai, who was originally looking forward to in the court, was unable to move for a while because of the rebellion in the territory.

This slap that was more powerful than another woke Emperor Kant up from the joy of repelling the Western fleet.

"...I wish I could eat the ruthlessness of the ministers and thieves without a father or a king."

In the Golden Palace with carved beams and painted beams, Emperor Kant angrily swept a golden teacup to the ground and smashed it into pieces, "...What do you say about serving the king and saving the horse? It's the best. Isn't it really a ghost idea to attack the magpie and occupy the Nestle and embezzle the imperial prefectures? What a bunch of damn traitors."

Although His Majesty the Emperor was furious and furious on the elixir, the civil and military officials below all looked like they were observing their noses and their hearts, and they followed the idea of ​​not saying good or saying too much, but saying too much is wrong.

- Your Majesty, why have you been waiting until now to know that they are all thieves? We have known this for a long time...

Until the emperor's anger subsided a little, an old minister walked out slowly and bowed to pronounce, "...Your Majesty, the vassal states in all directions wantonly invade the jurisdiction of the court in the name of serving the king. It is certainly hateful. But now the situation is complete. How should the court respond? I would like to ask the emperor to tell you."

"... Of course, it was to revoke the previous imperial edict and issue an order to denounce the vassals and order them to return to their respective garrisons, expressing their mistakes."

Emperor Kant immediately replied without thinking, which made the old minister smile bitterly.

"...Your Majesty, it is of course easy to make an edict, but it is extremely difficult to withdraw troops by those unruly vassal states. Since they have occupied the prefectures of the court, it is equivalent to a hungry wolf swallowing the féru. With a light edict, you should not even want the hungry wolf to spit out the ru you swallowed... If they were so obedient, the court would have allowed the vassal states in the world to disperse their troops and return their documents, and take all the military and financial powers into the center."

"... Then what should you say?" Emperor Kant roared with annoyance, "...The fertile fields in Huaibei have been lost, and Jiangxi and Hunan are not guaranteed. If they continue to indulge in it, even if the court successfully expelled the Western barbarians in the future, the rule will only be thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. Even Fujian, Zhejiang and Huainan may not be able to control it. How can we still command the world and subjugate the vassals in the future?"

"...Ah, it's hard to collect the water. Your Majesty forgives me for being incompetent. I really can't think of any perfect solution."

Faced with the current collapse of such a collapsed trend, these old ministers were helpless and could only sigh helplessly, "... As the saying goes, if you have to make a blacksmith, you have to be strong yourself. The following vassals are advancing, and the external and internal troubles are in trouble. There seems to be no other way to imagine the court besides repelling the attacks of Westerners and destroying the un-party in the capital. Only by winning a great victory on the battlefield and showing the royal military power can we use it to shock the princes and curb their continued erosion of the territory... However, even if you really survive this disaster, the court is destined to be seriously injured..."

In mid-October, under the repeated urging of Emperor Kant, the slow-moving imperial army finally began to counterattack.

This is also the last counterattack made by the Xianglong Empire, which is already in danger.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――�

Just as the monarchs and ministers of the Nanjing imperial capital were worried about the dilemma of the fire in the backyard but were unable to extinguish the fire, General Fili Taylor, who hurriedly retreated to the Shanghai Concession, received a rather surprising gift.

"...How should I describe this? The Dragon Special Delivery? The Yongju Island is really a big deal."

Looking at the four foreign special envoys who jumped off the backs of four adult bronze dragons, and Lieutenant General Daniel who was diligently guiding these VIPs, General Ferry Taylor couldn't help but be surprised and shocked.

Due to the distant geographical barrier, this time he commanded the armed debt collection action of the Far East Fleet of the Naserel Empire, but in fact he did not get his own authorization. It was a complete self-action - because the mail ship just came and went, it would take nearly half a year to save the long and procrastination of discussions between Congress and the government. If everything had to be waited for domestic command, no overseas war could be fought at all.

Therefore, after entering Shanghai for 6th, although Fili once asked Rebecca to use the silver fire communicator given by the goddess, to roughly inform the situation of this war of Ms. Ellaszhuo who presided over the Northern Army Base Camp in Silver Moon City, and the Great Sage of Ilminster who was still waiting for pardon in the madhouse, he did not expect any corresponding actions in the country - even if he was willing to send reinforcements there, he would not be able to catch up in time.

However, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. This overseas war broke out in a distant foreign land, and there was no trouble in the Naiserel Empire, which was on the verge of civil war. As the superior leader, the base camp of the northern army in Yinyue City, only published several righteous and stern statements in the newspaper, expressing its support for the armed debt collection operation.

However, after this news was introduced into the Jinling Kingdom through public channels, it caused an uproar.

--The current reign of Jin Ling Queen Akdina is troubled by the unprecedented dilemma of repeated failures in foreign wars, the domestic situation continues to stop, and the royal family's prestige is basically bankrupt, and urgently needs to consolidate her position through a victory.

However, since she came to power through a coup more than three years ago, what she has achieved was unprecedented defeats. The huge colonial empire, which originally had an uprising throughout the world, has now only about one-third of the remaining mountains and rivers left. When it comes to this situation, even the people of this tribe are about to split - the 500,000 Jinling citizens of the Far East Spice Islands colony declared independence

At this time, the Jinling Kingdom was at the verge of end of its territory. The fierce army was destroyed by internal struggles and the accumulated wealth was burned out by war. If we still had to fight a civil war between our compatriots in their tribe, it would probably be really not far from destruction.

But if Her Majesty the Queen's pledges to the peaceful separation of the Spice Islands, or if they use huge concessions to exchange for their abolition of independence, it will also cause a fatal blow to the prestige of the central government, and will encourage those eager to move, so that the current kingdom of spirits, which is already in turmoil, will further slide into the abyss of disintegration.

In this way, the path of calming things seems to be impossible.

Therefore, after learning that the five foreign debts that the Xianglong Empire attempted to lose were actually 15 million taels of silver that should belong to the Jinling Kingdom, the Jinling Queen immediately had an idea and came up with a wonderful solution to get rid of the current dilemma.

- Taking advantage of the Far East debt wind, we will join forces with the victimized countries to form a five-country debt collection team to launch an unprecedented overseas war

The main benefits of doing this are as follows:

First, it is naturally able to recover debts of 15 million taels of silver and some compensation to fill the empty treasury;

Second, you can ride the Far Eastern Army of the Nairer Empire. In fact, you don’t have a military expedition. As long as you make a sufficient attitude, you can win a victory that is sufficient for publicity at a very small cost and consolidate the increasingly discrete people’s morale;

Third, we can temporarily combine with the Western countries that hated each other in the past and wanted to fight immediately, and at least for a period of time, create a relatively stable external environment;

Fourth, the reasons for "shelfing disputes and unanimously exert externally" and joint debt collection actions are used to ease the relationship with the independent factions of the Spice Islands, and the method of "dividing debt equally" gives the conservatives there a reason to convince citizens to agree to abolish their independence.

In general, we use foreign wars to divert internal conflicts. On the other hand, in order to reduce war expenses, we must try our best to let others do their best, and we mainly brag...

With the idea set, the queen urgently sent envoys to various countries in the Feren continent to mediate the rulings and fight for fire to build a paper coalition. On the other hand, in order to bridge the people on the verge of civil war, the gods of Jinling also cooperated vigorously with this strategy, and even used exaggerated methods such as oracle to constrain the spirits of Jinling in the Spice Islands to cooperate in their actions.

So, in just a few days, the Serre Federation, which was denied two million taels, the Harua Kingdom, which was denied four million taels, and the Nairrel Empire, which was denied more than two million taels, all received positive responses - first, no one would like others to lose their own debts; second, anyway, this battle was fought by the Nairrel Far East Fleet, and as long as you say some righteous and stern words, why not do it?

Not long after, the negotiators who were independently assigned to the capital of the Spice Islands also agreed to the request of their superiors to be the country and revoke their independence, and expressed their willingness to send fleets and soldiers to Shanghai to fight for debt collection.

As for General Ferry Taylor, who was already in charge of the war on the front line, he was unanimously recommended as Commander-in-Chief of the coalition forces.

In order to use the degree, four letters of the Declaration of War were sent from the Feren continent to the Shanghai Concession. Akdina called her treasured Royal Dragon Knight Squadron. Relying on relay rotation, the mission team composed of dragons and knights took only five days to arrive at the broken Shanghai Port.

Seeing this, Miss Mitsui Ryuki, who was stranded in Shanghai, immediately issued a war declaration for Emperor Kumaze in the name of the senior female regent of the Japanese court, and expressed her recognition of Feili's qualification as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

At this point, a debt collection group of five countries that was unprecedented in history was officially established on the coast of the East.

Awakening, Feili's position as commander-in-chief of the Five-Nation Alliance is really a freak - although he has been publicly recognized by the Ser Federation, the Kingdom of Harua, the Kingdom of Jinling and the Japanese court, he has not received the appointment of his own government.

The reason is also very simple. Nasèrel's imperial capital is still in the hands of the Southern Army. In the case of foreign declaration of war, the northern camp has an absolute advantage in the Congress and the Joint Conference of the Great Arcanist, so it can naturally be forcibly passed. However, things such as personnel appointments and removals must be passed through the Ministry of National Defense - now both sides are almost mortal enemies, so how can they not interfere with it?
