"Barre, Manard, why did you two disobey our military orders and let the army plunder local civilians wantonly? And you also deliberately delayed the march. Your forward troops have not yet reached the designated place. What crime should you be guilty of?" Dayangqiang Suppressing the anger that was about to burst out, he asked word by word, each word seemed to be squeezed out of ice slag.
"General Dayan, our brothers fought tooth and nail to defeat the enemy, but they just picked up some bargains. This is a fair and just thing. Otherwise, who would sacrifice their lives? What's more, these properties all come from Luzon people. I think you are making a fuss out of a molehill." Right." Barre, commander of the Ninth Corps of the Pasha Kingdom, who was shiny and fleshy, argued nonchalantly, "As for the fact that the marching speed is not fast enough, it is because the brothers are too tired, which affects the marching speed."
"Yes, General Dayan, you don't have to be angry. The brothers just grabbed some unowned property left by the Luzon people who fled. They didn't do anything else extraordinary. In addition, the physical exertion in the early stage was too great and the marching speed was too high. After being affected to a certain extent, we immediately ordered to speed up the progress." The thin middle-aged man was Manald, the commander of the 14th Corps. His attitude was better, but the implication was that Dayan picked up the chicken feathers as arrows.
"But, do you know that due to your delay, the Luzon army south of the Salween River may escape. Can you bear this responsibility?" Dayan wished he could drag the two of them out immediately. He was beheaded as a warning to others, but he had to grit his teeth as he remembered the commander's sincere words when he appointed him to be the commander of the entire army after crossing the river.
Barre is the cousin of Her Majesty the Queen and has a strong family foundation in the kingdom, while Manarde has a close relationship with Haig, the minister of state of the kingdom, and has considerable influence in the court. The two men were originally extremely dissatisfied with Dayan's ascension to the general position at such a young age. In addition, in order to train Dayan, Kutuzov gave Dayan the overall commanding power when the overall situation of the cross-river battle was decided. Young, aroused a strong response from the older generation of generals in the army. Of course, they did not dare to doubt Kutuzov, but they were critical of Dayan, and Barre and Manard were the representative figures. .
His teeth chattered, and there was a flash of green energy on his face, "Then listening to what you two said, Dayan misunderstood you two?" Although he accepted Kutuzov's instructions, Dayan was stimulated. Yang still couldn't help but feel murderous intent.
The old and cunning Manard saw that the situation was not right. He had long heard that Dayan was a kind-hearted boy with a cold heart and killed people without batting an eye. Few people in the army could match his poisonous methods. Just now he saw a fierce look in his eyes. Could it be him? Do you insist on killing a chicken to scare the monkeys regardless of your feelings? Unable to help but shudder and not daring to speak any more, Manard quickly winked at Esvent, the commander of the 7th Corps beside him, and motioned for him to help smooth things over.
"General Dayan, General Barre and General Manard have some flaws in their troops' conduct. However, it is true that the troops' fatigue affects the progress of the march. In addition, they are also veteran generals in our army. Please see the two What do you think about a person's old face being forgiven?" Esvent is also a senior general in the army. Unlike Barre and Manard, he and Dayan come from the southern military region of the Pasha Kingdom. The entire Pasha King's army is divided into three military districts: southern, central and northern military districts. It was in the southern military district that Kutuzov started from scratch and established his own reputation. Therefore, the troops in the southern military district admired Kutuzov very much, while the central and northern military districts worshiped Kutuzov very much. The troops in the military region are much lighter in comparison. Although they also admire Kutuzov's military achievements, after all, they did not happen in their own team, and their influence is not that important. As for Dayan, he is just a newcomer. Newcomers are naturally not in their eyes.
"Since General Esvent has interceded, I will spare you both this time. Although you will be exempted from the death penalty, you will not be able to escape the living penalty. Come on! Drag them out and give them twenty lashes each. If you do it again next time, you will not be treated lightly. Spare!" Esvent was actually Dayan's elder in the army, so the relationship was naturally unusual. In addition, Dayan had not made up his mind to kill the two of them, so he just relaxed and walked down the slope.
Just when the generals under the tent were stunned and had not yet reacted, four wolf-like guards had already rushed in and dragged the two pale-faced people. In a blink of an eye, the crack of whips and the sound of whips were heard outside the camp gate. The two of them cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Dayan then calmly tidied up the things on the desk and walked out of the tent leisurely, leaving only a group of dumbfounded generals in the tent. None of them expected that Dayan would actually dare to turn his back on him. People, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.
Today is the official celebration of the formation of the newly formed Third Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Milan. King Louis XI of the Kingdom of Milan personally attended and presided over the ceremony to show his importance to this army. When the reviewing troops, dressed in gorgeous military uniforms, marched through the rostrum in order, all the Milanese nobles around the rostrum were excited. This was the first cavalry regiment in the Kingdom of Milan. How could the powerful combat power it displayed not excite those aristocratic merchants who were worried about the invasion of the barbaric western neighbors - the Machihans all day long
"It seems that the Milanese are really going to spend a lot of money to revitalize the army." The diplomat in a white dress turned to another diplomat in a black tuxedo sitting next to him and said, "I heard what His Majesty Louis XI just said. Prepare to form a fourth legion, I think the Milan people are really going crazy."
"It's not caused by the stimulation of Machikhan and you Tanghe people. Otherwise, how could the Milan people who always attach great importance to the navy suddenly set up a cavalry corps at any cost? This cost is not a small amount of money. Our south is not rich in horses. Except for Machi Khan. If the Milanese want to form such a large cavalry team, all the horses they need will have to be imported from your Tanghe Empire. How much do you think this expense will be? This does not include the expenses for training and soldiers!" The diplomat in tuxedo said with a slight sigh.
"Huh? It makes sense to say that you were inspired by the Machihan people, but what does it have to do with us Tanghe people?" The diplomat in white dress was obviously from the Tanghe Empire, and he was very disapproving of the diplomat in black tuxedo. .
"The Machikhans invaded Jemelo and Ankun last year and brought the two places into their territory in one fell swoop. Although no country has recognized it now, it actually doesn't mean much anymore. You Tanghe Empire actually turned a blind eye to this kind of banditry. , and turned a deaf ear to the strong appeal of the Milan people. Isn’t this true? If the Machihan people suddenly raise troops to the east again, the Milan people can’t just sit back and wait for death. Although you Tanghe people have a good relationship with the Milan people, what if? If you come here again like last year, what will I do?" The man in a black tuxedo was a middle-aged diplomat with a sarcastic look on his face.
The diplomat in white blushed and argued forcefully: "Why didn't our empire come forward? Our diplomatic department immediately came forward to coordinate, and also took sanctions against the Machi Khans, and finally forced the Machi Khans to sign the "Memorandum of Understanding between the Tanghe Empire and the Macchi Khanate"."
"Then what was the final result? Jemelo and Ankun were not occupied by the Maci Khans. I heard that the Maci Khans were going to merge these two places into a province of the Maci Khanate. . And the royal family members of the Kingdom of Jemelo are not all imprisoned by the Machi Khans. You Tanghe people have been negotiating for so long, why are there still no news?" The middle-aged diplomat in a black tuxedo said to the diplomat in white scoffed at the excuse.
"Well, our empire's diplomatic department is still working hard, but I see that apart from issuing a statement, your Grand Duchy of Mahad has no other response." The white-clothed diplomat retorted.
"If our Grand Duchy of Mahad had the power of the Tanghe Empire, we would never stand idly by. It's a pity that our power is limited, and we are more than willing but not strong enough." The diplomat in black finally lowered his gaze and shook his head helplessly, "But I I heard that our Grand Duke also intends to strengthen the military, and it is said that the Principality of Andako also has the same intention. I hope that the actions of the Milanese can wake up the sleeping nobles of our country."
The diplomat in white also fell silent. Although he felt particularly harsh to the words of the diplomat in black, he also knew that most of what the other party said was true. His country's performance indeed chilled the small countries surrounding it. This was also No wonder they are.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the missing princess from the Kingdom of Jemelo seems to have arrived in Zhongzhou of your Tanghe Empire. I wonder if this is the case?" The diplomat in black looked at the troops passing by under the stage. After a while, he suddenly fixed his eyes on the face of the diplomat in white again, as if he wanted to see something.
"There is such a thing. I just came back from the imperial capital a few days ago and I have never heard of it." The diplomat in white looked surprised, but he was making rapid calculations in his mind, preparing to send this information back to the country as quickly as possible.
Seeing that there were no clues from the man in white, the diplomat in black turned his eyes away and said calmly: "Really? Maybe it's groundless. I also heard what the Machi Khan said."
Isita Castle, Shilu Island, the largest island outside the Atlantic Ocean, cannot actually be called a city. Compared with any city on the mainland, even those cities on the Tengger Grassland, it is far inferior. Some houses mainly made of wood are scattered here. They are distributed around a larger courtyard. With this courtyard as the center, it stretches out, but it has a certain range, which is somewhat similar to some large market towns on the mainland. The owner of the larger courtyard is the residence of Tatehara Yamakawa, the head of the Japanese Tatehara clan, the lord of Isita Castle.
In the main living room in the center of the courtyard, a lean middle-aged man sat with his body upright and kneeling. His piercing eyes especially made him look majestic and extraordinary. This man was none other than Tatehara Yamakawa. There were two middle-aged men in linen clothes, one fat and one thin, standing on the left and right, both kneeling on the ground.
"So, the Milanese have now turned their military focus to land?"
"Yes, my lord, due to the increasing threat from the Machi Khans, several southeastern countries are worried that the Machi Khans will move westward, so they are strengthening their land armaments. In contrast, the defenses at sea have improved. Relax." The thin man on the left responded respectfully with his forehead touching the ground.
"So, how is the prevention situation on the Ryukyu Islands, Kamchatka Island, and the Great Pearl Islands?" Tatehara Yamakawa is very concerned about the situation of these islands.
The Ryukyu Islands are the territory in the eastern waters of the Tanghe Empire. They consist of more than a dozen larger islands and nearly a hundred small islands. The largest islands are Ludao Island, Dachong Island and Wansuo Island, which are the inherent territory of the empire. It is under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture, Donghai County. There are more than 30,000 people living in the entire archipelago, most of whom make a living by fishing and pearl hunting, while a small number make a living by farming.
Kamchatka Island (affiliated to Jinling Prefecture, Donghai County) is the second largest island in the sea of the Tanghe Empire, second only to the largest island, Baodao (affiliated to Quanzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan County). Because the treasure island is rich in natural resources, has a population of nearly 200,000, and its geographical location is extremely important, a division of the Empire's Seventh Army Corps is stationed there, as well as the Empire's second-largest naval port, Gaolong Port, where the Empire's Seventh Army is stationed. The second navy fleet, so Tachihara Shanchuan has not yet thought of attacking the treasure island.
Kamchatka Island is located between Treasure Island and the Ryukyu Islands, and is half the distance from the mainland than Treasure Island and the Ryukyu Islands. It has a population of only more than 20,000 people. Although the island is extremely rich in mineral resources and forests, due to transportation and Labor force reasons have not been well developed. There are no troops stationed on the island. Only a squadron of less than 500 people from the Imperial Navy is stationed at Sea Cucumber Port in the middle of the island. It is famous for its rich sea cucumbers and is also a smaller military port in the empire. Sea Cucumber Port is about 100 miles away from Hailanpao Town, the only market town on the island, and there is also a short road connecting it.
The Great Pearl Islands is actually composed of three archipelagos: the North Pearl Islands, the East Pearl Islands, and the South Pearl Islands. Each of the three archipelagoes is composed of dozens of islands, atolls and coral reefs. The Northern Pearl Islands and the Eastern Pearl Islands belong to the Kingdom of Milan, while the Southern Pearl Islands are the territory of the Grand Duchy of Mahad. Not only are these three archipelagos very important in geographical location, they are the choke point from the Southern Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. They are also extremely rich in products, especially fish, sea salt, pearls, gems, shellfish, corals, coconuts, etc., and there are many The offshore islands have a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. They are a vacation resort for kings, high-ranking officials and their families. They are also a good place for many important meetings and negotiations between countries in the Eastern Continent.
"Reporting to my lord, the defense of the Tanghe people has not changed much. As the Milan people have shifted their focus to land, the defense of the North and East Pearl Islands has been relaxed, especially the East Pearl Islands. The morale of the navy is also not as good as before. It is said that their water Military expenditures have also dropped significantly compared with last year. This is indeed a good opportunity for us. However, the obese man raped his head and reported, but in the end he had reservations.
"No need to say more, I know what you mean, I have my own sense of proportion." Tachihara Shanchuan described Leng Jun.
"This subordinate is talking too much." The obese man was a little frightened.
"No need to explain, I know your heart." Tachihara Shankawa slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled the two of them to leave.
