"General Cui, the ignorant people are still a little confused in their thinking, but I believe that under the enlightenment of the empire's civilization, they will soon understand that returning to the empire is Destin's final destination. I hope the general can forgive them with a kind heart. Ignorance." A guy wearing a traditional Yakuan robe quickly stepped forward to hold the reins of Cui Wenxiu's horse, but was frightened by the cold eyes around Cui Wenxiu and did not dare to come any closer.
"A kind heart? Hehehe, Cui is a soldier, and he doesn't want to be known as a benevolent person. For soldiers, that is synonymous with incompetence and inability to turn around. Do they need my soldiers to enlighten them? "The cold eyes were like a cold wind blowing from the iceberg canyon in June. Everyone in front of the square couldn't help but shudder, even the nobles of the Niyeh and Roman sects. The butcher's knife It is the same for everyone, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. This irrefutable principle has been performed countless times in countless places. Could it be performed in Birja again this time
"General, they didn't do anything else. They just couldn't accept it psychologically for a while. Doesn't it violate the policy of freedom of religious belief that the Tang Empire has always promoted?" Finally, there are still people who are not afraid of Cui. Wenxiu's domineering attitude stood out, and not all Yakuans were shy. There were still people who could argue for their faith and truth.
"Well, that's good. When did I use my religious beliefs to incriminate others? Who are you? Tell me your name!" Cui Wenxiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person with a somewhat sinister gaze.
"Prenida. An ordinary businessman from Birja." The other party did not shrink under Cui Wenxiu's gaze. Instead, he became more forceful and even his voice became louder, as if he wanted everyone present to hear his every word. In one sentence, "Didn't the general's words mean that the Holy Spirit believers would be guilty of not coming out to welcome the Tang Empire's army into the city?"
"Well, I am unhappy that the residents of Birja City did not come out to greet the imperial army. But I have no intention of embarrassing them. Of course, if they want to use other substantive actions to resist the imperial rule, that is another matter. Then I I will not begrudge the blade in my hand." Cui Wenxiu was not as angry as he imagined, but his tone became gentler, "The Tang Empire is not an unreasonable country. Freedom of religious belief is the religious policy established by the empire. Cui must abide by it as well. , but if he wants to use freedom of religious belief to do anything else, I think he will regret it. As for ordinary citizens, whether they believe in Holy Spiritism, Niyaism, or Romanism, the army will not Interference, although I personally have no favorable impression of the Holy Spirit Religion. But I will still abide by this principle."
Cui Wenxiu's words immediately made everyone's hearts drop. The nobles of the Niyeh Sect and the Roman Sect were relieved and a little disappointed, but Cui Wenxiu was really in Bill. They don't want to see Jia start a bloody storm.
The nobles who had converted to the Holy Spirit Cult also heard the implication of Cui Wenxiu's words, and were a little worried when they were relieved. The term "using faith to do other things" has too many connotations and can easily be used as an excuse to stir up trouble.
There were almost no ethnic groups in the Tang Empire who believed in the Holy Spirit Religion, and only a very small number of people in the Tang Dynasty believed in the Holy Spirit Religion. Buddhism and Taoism almost filled the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty. At most, the Holy Spirit Religion only had some market among some immigrants. Even in the middle continent, Buddhism and Taoism are now constantly penetrating through the luster of Tang civilization, especially in the In the Northern Luzon region, the belief system that was originally the local primitive religion has been gradually destroyed and replaced by Taoism and Buddhism. Even in the Indian region, as various religions compete for the market here, Buddhism and Taoism have also taken the opportunity to intervene. Buddhism, in particular, has taken root and is quite popular with the lower class people. These religions are either based on the mainland of the empire or originate from the local soil of the Central Continent. In this case, the Holy Spirit Church naturally relies on the West, and the Hansen Alliance is naturally their most convenient and reliable choice. If In the future, this kind of contact and communication will also be regarded as doing other things, and everyone will have to weigh the weight of it.
When Cui Wenxiu could breathe a sigh of relief and sit comfortably in the Governor's Mansion, besides Hu Yanqiu and Ying Jianming, the only person accompanying Cui Wenxiu was Lin Ke, the governor of De'an County in Western India. The three of them were all very surprised by Cui Wenxiu's performance in front of the Governor's Mansion. With Cui Wenxiu's temperament, it seemed that he should not let the matter go so gently. They were all wondering whether the coach might be hiding something. A more sinister killing move, especially as the governor of West Indian County, Link.
"Master Cui, do you really plan to use gentle methods to deal with these Holy Spirit believers? I think being gentle is necessary, but showing the necessary iron and blood is more appropriate to stabilize the situation in the Destin area. At least the imperial army will not advance further west. We need to worry about what may happen in the rear." Link couldn't suppress his curiosity and simply retreated to advance.
"Link, you don't have to come to see me in front of me. I was planning to tell you." Cui Wenxiu sneered slightly, her sword-like eyes piercing Link's chest, "Our military operation against the Hansen Alliance I'm afraid that's the end of it. General Huyan's Seventh Army will stay in De'an, West India, as a garrison guarding the northwest border. The Jerok Army will soon be renamed the Twelfth Army of the Empire. They will mainly be stationed in Meili County. and Dean County in southern India. As for Northern Luzon, the Ninth Army Corps is still stationed. Only three army armies will be retained in the Central Continent Theater for the time being. In addition, three Ranger regiments will be left to cover the new army as a mobile reserve force. The Imperial Eleventh Legion, the Indian Legion and the remaining three Ranger regiments will immediately return eastward and return to the interior of the Empire."
Link was taken aback and dispatched two army legions and three ranger regiments to return to the interior of the empire. There must have been some huge changes in the interior of the empire. Why was there no warning in the imperial report from the central government some time ago?
"Master Cui, is there any change in the mainland of the empire or is there any major military operation? Do we have to mobilize troops from the mainland?" Link asked with a frown.
"Well, the specific military operations are still unclear, but Lord Link doesn't have to worry about the defense in your territory. The Seventh Legion is stationed and there are reserve forces. I also heard that a Marine Division from the Navy will be transferred. It is stationed in Fahan Province and is responsible for the defense of military ports and seaports. There is also a Marine Division stationed in Luxor. In an emergency, these two divisions can also be deployed into battle, but I don’t think so yet. At that point." Cui Wenxiu didn't want to reveal too much to Link about military affairs. "The reason why I'm keeping a low profile today is to temporarily appease the hearts of those Holy Spirit believers. After all, Destin has just been taken into our hands, and now we need to It’s not a good idea to stir up trouble. After a while, I think if those guys are still stubborn, people from the Imperial National Security Agency and the Internal Affairs Department will come to help me become this villain.”
It wasn't until Link disappeared outside the door that Hu Yanqiu and Ying Jianming asked at the same time: "Commander, what new ideas does His Majesty have?"
"There are no new ideas, but some old plans need to be prepared in advance. The Liberians can't sit still, and the Macihans in the south and the Japanese in the east seem to be ready to make moves. Any one of them alone can't stand it. It is not enough to affect the empire's plan at all, but if they join forces, the problem will not be that simple." Cui Wenxiu said thoughtfully: "I guess the actions of the Liberians during this period have irritated your majesty, so your majesty If I don’t expand the scale of the war, the limit is to recapture Birja. If we fight again, maybe the Hansen Alliance will really be dragged in.”
Cui Wenxiu's guess was correct. Li Wufeng was indeed stimulated by the continuous actions of the Liberians and became a little restless.
700 and 701 were two critical years. These two years were certainly critical for the empire. The establishment of the empire was followed by adjustment and recovery. However, the empire encountered an unprecedented drought. However, it continued to face droughts on the Liberia Plain. Two good harvest years have come, especially the year 701, which was the most favored year by God for the four countries of Liberia in the past twenty years. Not only the weather was good, but there were no locusts that were common in the past. The warehouses were fully stocked and even began to be sold back to the Tang Dynasty. This made Wu Feng extremely depressed. When was it the Liberian people's turn to feel proud that a group of poor people actually had surplus food to sell back to the empire? ! This is simply a satire and satire on the empire.
However, meteorologists have predicted that the Liberians will usher in an unprecedented bumper harvest of summer grain. If the Liberians wait until September or October for the grain to arrive in the warehouse, then I am afraid that the empire will have to face a situation where the army is well-equipped with food. Liberia group.
Especially at the beginning of the year, King Sezerif IX of Poole remarried Princess Catherine, who was once promised to Stuart from the Kingdom of Dordon. This made the relationship between Poole and Dorton quickly become closer. Two consecutive joint military exercises were conducted in the border areas. In March and April, Prime Minister Bokaninski of the Sislo Empire visited Poole and Dodon respectively and signed a three-country mutual defense agreement. Immediately after Kaman The Duke of Knox, the Imperial Foreign Minister, also visited Dodon and Poole, and signed a three-nation strategic cooperation agreement in the capital of Poole, Hessen City. Almost non-stop, the Prime Minister of the Kaman Empire visited the Heathrow Empire and issued a speech with the Heathrow Empire. A memorandum of understanding on establishing a military alliance was signed, and the Four Military Alliance was formally formed in the form of a national treaty.
