Cheng Dayou felt indescribably excited as soon as he set foot on the land of the Dodon Kingdom. This was a completely different feeling from the civil war. The pleasure of conquest permeated his whole body, and he seemed to be able to feel it even in his sleep. A strange pleasure.
The defeat of the Doton people came too quickly. Their previous resistance was extremely resolute, but they were so decisive in their retreat that their intention to expand the results could not be achieved well. Three thousand troops Cheng Dayou only left less than 2,000 prisoners behind, which made Cheng Dayou regretful, but it didn't matter. As long as he set foot on the land of the Doton people, there would be many more confrontations with the Dodon people in the future.
Watching the groups of white-skinned and yellow-haired prisoners walking past him, Cheng Dayou experienced the taste of foreign war for the first time. When he stepped into Hailan Fortress, the fearful and worried looks of the Liberians around him made Cheng Dayou I couldn't help but be a little intoxicated. I was the first general in Western Xinjiang to truly seize a piece of land from the Liberians. This honor was enough to write a colorful chapter in the history of the founding of the new empire. This was enough for anyone to feel proud.
The Hailan Fortress is still filled with a faint smell of blood. Although the war has ended for almost a week, the haze after the killing still seems to linger around the entire Hailan Fortress and the hearts of the Dodon people around it. Some problems arise. People from the Tang tribe appeared on the streets in the fortress from time to time. It seemed that the Duodun people from the Libo tribe had not yet reacted to this drastic change. They could only stay in their homes silently and wait for their psychological adaptation.
The neglect in Hailan Fortress did not affect Cheng Dayou's interest. He had received a clear order from the Hanzhong Military Affairs Administration to ensure control of the Okhotsk region and to intimidate the Kutz region and the north of Okhotsk. But we cannot continue to expand the war. Of course, Cheng Dayou knew that the Military Affairs Administration, which had upheld the intentions of His Highness King Qin, had no plans for an all-out war with the Duodun people. The Dodon people have carried out full mobilization, and more than ten regiments of armed forces have been formed. For the Dodon Kingdom, which has a population of less than 10 million, it is almost necessary to prepare to face this battle with all its strength.
Of course, Cheng Dayou knew that it was unrealistic to use the two legions of the First and Eighth Legions to compete with the entire country of the Dodon people, but the Dodon people also had their difficulties. The northern Baiin and the southeastern Crescent Peninsula The entrenched Japanese are still a scar that they cannot erase. Their victory in Okhotsk will inevitably stimulate the ambitions of these impulsive guys. It's hard to say whether they will take this opportunity to attack, so it's impossible for the Dodon people not to hold back. But even so, there is still no chance of winning with two legions in the territory of the Doton people and the strength Doton has assembled now. The Doton people can at least mobilize five legions including their royal capital Yulin Corps. It is neither cost-effective nor in line with the current intentions of His Highness King Qin to put all his efforts into it. It is not appropriate to force the people of Liberia to crowd together now, especially for the Dodon people to fully stand with the other countries of Liberia.
Then maintaining the necessary pressure to force the Dodon people to accept the current bitter reality can be put on the agenda. However, this is not Cheng Dayou's job. Naturally, there are people in the diplomatic department who are good negotiators to talk to the Dodon people. He has to do it now. The ground work is to stabilize the situation in the Okhotsk region as much as possible. Strengthen and improve the defense system, and at the same time adopt a posture of advancing westward and northward to create more favorable conditions for diplomatic negotiations.
After inspecting the Hailan Fortress, Cheng Dayou enthusiastically inspected the Port of Okhotsk, which was only a few dozen miles away. In the mind of His Highness King Qin, this was probably the biggest gain from this Okhotsk campaign, but When Cheng Dayou arrived at the Okhotsk Port, he was completely shocked by the simplicity and bleakness of the Okhotsk Port. Why did such a port that seemed even smaller than a market town in the empire attract the attention of His Highness the King of Qin? , and even the Military Affairs Administration’s letter specifically mentioned the need to ensure the control and security of this port. Apart from being a year-round ice-free port because of the warm current, Cheng Dayou couldn't imagine what there was about this place that His Highness the King of Qin and the Military Affairs Administration would pay so much attention to. Could it be because it is surrounded by a rich fishing ground? This doesn't seem to be what it should be. Is there a reason that the Military Affairs Administration needs to pay attention to
Looking at the contempt the Doton people have for this place, you can imagine how important the status here cannot be. Cheng Dayou didn't even find that there was a decent formal dock and pier in the entire Okhotsk Port, but most of them were civilian fishing boat piers. . Its simplicity made Cheng Dayou feel that the Doton people were too luxurious. At least such a port should not be so abandoned from any angle.
Perhaps the farther east is the goal of His Highness King Qin. Cheng Dayou vaguely feels this. If he wants to plot the more distant Crescent Peninsula and Cook Islands, this is indeed an excellent bridgehead, and the Crescent Peninsula and the Cook Islands set foot in Japan again.
The best springboard, His Highness the King of Qin's extraordinary "concern" for the Japanese made Cheng Dayou keep wondering what His Highness the King of Qin really wanted. Could the Japanese be the next target? It's just that now the Crescent Peninsula and Cook Islands are firmly in the hands of the Japanese. If you want to seize food from the tiger's mouth, you must face the powerful Japanese navy. Cheng Dayou doesn't think that he has the power to challenge the Japanese navy now. But it seems like you don’t need to worry about all this.
The dispatched scout team has quickly reported back intelligence from all directions. The Dodon garrison in Okhotsk has retreated to the border of the Kutz region in the west, and the Dodon troops have been discovered in the north. There are signs of mobilization. It is obvious that the Dodon people have regarded this invasion of the Western Xinjiang Army as the outbreak of a full-scale war. Although they are unwilling to believe or face such a thing, the grim reality forces them to do their best. Bad intentions. They had realized that participating in the Tanghe people's civil war would require punishment, but they did not expect that the punishment would be so heavy and might even cost them the country. This forced them to make a desperate move.
At this time, Wu Feng has fallen into the busiest period. Although he is still staying in Hanzhong, the overwhelming various affairs have made Hanzhong the de facto second imperial capital. Although the Tiger Wing Army and the First Army of Western Xinjiang are the first The division has firmly controlled the situation in the imperial capital, but Wu Feng has no intention of entering the imperial capital immediately. Before he considers how he will enter the capital and what kind of identity he will appear in front of hundreds of millions of people after entering the capital, he Don't make a hasty decision.
Yutang has entered Beijing, and she will conduct final negotiations with the Situ family and the noble gentry who have been following the Situ family on behalf of herself. However, Wu Feng does not think that is a problem. After a bloody baptism, the imperial capital objects. His own calls for conservative strength have become so weak that they are almost ignored.
Diao Su and Sun Chengxiu did a great job indeed. The people involved in this incident only pretended to rob some cash and other valuables, but almost nothing of real value was touched. This is the most brilliant performance that can illustrate the problem. Hundreds of third The heads of legion and city guard soldiers became the most powerful evidence to silence the nobles and gentry in the imperial capital. Several soldiers even publicly admitted to the atrocities of looting the imperial capital during the chaos, and were testified on the spot by some of the victims who had witnessed it. Of course, Their "heads" will be hung at the top of the Imperial City after being processed. This kind of thing is too simple for the security department.
Of course, these cannot be believed by everyone, but it is enough to convince most people. As long as the majority of nobles, gentry and public opinion can be guided in this direction, this trouble will be solved successfully. As for some smart people, If they have doubts, let them rot in their stomachs. I believe that the imperial capital's experience of such a bloody storm has enabled them to clearly understand the cruelty of political struggle. If they can see through this problem, they will also wisely keep their mouths shut.
What Wu Feng needs to wait for now is the most perfect gift, allowing the Situ family to automatically announce their retirement and willingly present the crown. Only in this way can this grand show become more glorious and glorious. This is the wish of all military and political officials under Wu Feng. Expectation, although Wu Feng does not think it is important to gain the recognition of a declining family, but his subordinates, especially the civil servants, feel that this can better reflect Wu Feng's benevolent and invincible mind, and even competitors are able to do so without any complaints. Admit defeat. Only such a victory can illustrate the greatness of the new dynasty. These are the original words of Xiao Tang and Su Qin, but they are indescribably funny to Wu Feng's ears. If the saying "the benevolent is invincible" can truly become Realistically speaking, the million-strong army in his hands can be released immediately from Nanshan, disarm and return to the fields.
Situ Tai's withdrawal from the stage in such a way indeed made Wu Feng feel a little depressed. It also put Wu Feng in a dilemma. With Situ Tai's evil deeds, it would not be an exaggeration to order him to commit suicide. This would also allow those in the north to The most stubborn nobles and gentry completely cut off any ideas, but doing so will not only make the nobles and gentry feel that they are narrow-minded, but will also create an atmosphere of insecurity in the imperial capital that has not yet completely calmed down. It will also be detrimental to myself who is about to enter Beijing. It's not appropriate, especially since it would make it difficult for Situ Yutang, the bridge between himself and the nobles of the imperial capital. Wu Feng doesn't think that the nobles of the imperial capital have much influence, but they can more or less create some minor troubles on the issue of his ascending to the throne. Wu Feng doesn't want to see this happen. He doesn't want to let everyone be happy. The feast has become stumbling. Life is only once, and even some concessions cannot be made.
