Chapter 1504: Section 7 Wait south and north

Views:

Datang's drastic actions in Poole and Dodon made both Sisluo and Kaman feel the chill. Poole and Dodon fell into the hands of Datang. Once Datang stabilized the situation in these two places, Kaman and Sisi Luo's situation can only be described in one word, a turtle in a urn! There are the Baiyin people who are sharpening their swords in the north, and the nomadic barbarians who have been transformed into Tang Dynasty in the west. The only support is in the east, which has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. And in the south, needless to say, the increasing military strength at Jiayuguan Pass is enough. I know that Datang is already planning the final strategy.

It’s not that they are unaware of the huge pressure brought about by external changes, but now Kaman and Sislo have too much to take care of themselves. The serious civil strife caused by the defeat of the war has plunged both countries into an unprecedented domestic crisis.

Kaman Prime Minister Vasily and Vice Minister Knox have submitted their resignations to the Imperial Emperor Delica, but the imperial nobles' idea of persuading the former Prime Minister Gomez to return as Prime Minister was blocked. Gomez He simply refused the invitation to reorganize the cabinet, saying that he was in poor health and could no longer assume the important role of prime minister. However, the entire Kaman Empire could no longer find anyone qualified for this position. Until a suitable replacement was found, Both Vasili and Knox had to temporarily serve as conveners of the caretaker cabinet.

However, Vasili and Knox, who have lost their authority, can only devote themselves to the internal affairs of the empire, pensions for fallen soldiers, resettlement compensation for disabled soldiers, and tax increases again. All these contradictions have disappeared with the defeat of the war. When it broke out, the entire Kaman Empire was more like being on a red-hot iron pot, making everyone restless but unable to think of any way to deal with it.

This war was originally a dangerous move for the Kaman Empire, which almost exhausted all the national and financial resources of the Kaman Empire. I never thought that the war would reach this point, but now the families of the fallen soldiers will not receive pensions, the disabled soldiers will not receive compensation, and the military needs to be guaranteed. All this can only be solved by raising taxes. The nobles who were already angry and dissatisfied with the fact that this war in the empire did not achieve any results are certainly extremely angry, and the ordinary people who have nothing to do with it are even more They were so angry that they could not get any benefits from winning the war, and now that they had failed, the imperial government actually wanted to pass the pain on to them by raising taxes. Think about the poor performance of these troops in the south who were eating military pay provided by their own taxes. It shows that no matter who it is, they can no longer control their anger.

Riots and riots first broke out from Yabin City in the south and Hulan City in the north-central part, and quickly spread to the neighboring Kilo and Kapil areas. Then riots began in the capital Budli City. The families of soldiers who had not received pensions and those who were disabled in the war came to the victory to demand that the government honor their pensions and resettlement compensation. The situation quickly became out of control, although Claudia on the one hand asked the government to quickly pay big businessmen and bank loans to ensure the smooth payment of pensions and resettlement compensation. On the one hand, the Royal Guards were quickly dispatched to suppress the wounded soldiers who took the opportunity to cause trouble, in order to quickly stabilize the situation.

Although the suppression of the rioting people went smoothly, the imperial government's loans to big businessmen and banks were rejected. Businessmen and financiers were worried that the economy would collapse and the government would not be able to repay. It refuses to provide large loans to the government, and is only willing to provide very limited small loans with high interest rates, and the time and conditions for repayment are also quite harsh. This situation lasted until Gomez came forward to lobby big businessmen and financiers. However, the situation in the entire empire has also fallen into turmoil. Except for the relatively stable city of Murmansk, which is still under siege by the Bein people in the north, the entire Kaman Empire has fallen into turmoil.

The army was unable to suppress them at all, especially when faced with the sight of their former colleagues who were now missing arms, legs and eyes. Not to mention that when they learned that they had not received the compensation they deserved, the soldiers in the army Dissatisfaction is also spreading, and the sad mood of rabbits and foxes is enough to affect the soldiers at the grassroots level. Maybe they today will be themselves tomorrow. This situation led to the exodus of large numbers of soldiers from Karman's army.

This situation did not begin to ease until the loan funds from the big businessmen and financiers were in place, and the pensions for the fallen soldiers and the resettlement compensation for the wounded began to be paid smoothly, but the emotions of the small nobles and ordinary people were already very excited. , there were calls for the abolition of the newly enacted tax policy. At this moment, Vasili and Knox realized that this position with more than one person and less than ten thousand people was not easy to sit in. In the past, they saw Gomez sitting in this position without hesitation. , and now it's my turn to sit, only to realize that under this seat is actually a volcano that may erupt at any time.

But at this time, Gomez had completely lost the desire to come out again. It was not that he did not want to do his part for Kaman, but after this battle, Gomez knew that it was impossible for the Liberians to win this battle. In the war, it was only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty won a complete victory. The strong comprehensive national power was enough to drag Sislo and Kaman to death.

The only chance for the Liberians is to concentrate their forces at the beginning of the war and desperately attack the hinterland of the Tang Empire, completely shaking the hearts of the people of the Tang Empire. With two major victories, the foundation of Li Wufeng's rule will collapse. The nomads and conquered peoples in the west, as well as the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the southern natives will suddenly change the direction of the wind, turning from the closest allies into the most vicious enemies. But Li Wufeng The Liberians did not seize this opportunity and lost this opportunity, which means that the Liberians may have to enter a dark era of decline. How to preserve as much as possible for the Liberians in this era of decline? The seed and the spirit are what Gomez needs to think about now, and everything else is irrelevant.

Compared with Gomez's pessimism, the situation of the Sisluo people is much better. Although they also suffered considerable setbacks in the northwest county, they have gained a few years of preparation time after all, and they are not as good as the previous ones of the Kaman people. Such a huge consumption in the year, although morale was affected due to the defeat of the war,

It was a big blow, but after all, there were relatively sufficient financial resources and logistics to support it, and there was no political crisis like Kaman's. However, the nomadic cavalry of the Mote, Tubu, Gur and Luobi people did not come. Because of this, it swept from the Tengger Grassland to the west and gave the Sisluo people another sap.

They couldn't figure out why these nomadic peoples who had attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty suddenly broke out before the Tang Dynasty took any action. It was not until later that they understood that the Imperial Privy Council and the Government Affairs Council had jointly given the green light to these nomadic peoples. Whether they are reserves or others, the nomadic cavalry who launch raids in the Heathrow Empire can keep all the trophies they obtain in the Heathrow Empire, and the empire will also provide these horsemen of all races who raid the Heathrow Empire. Generous rewards. As soon as this policy was promulgated, it immediately aroused the long-lost enthusiasm of the nomadic people on the East Tengger Grassland. The nomadic cavalry, which had been strictly restricted by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, finally had the opportunity to do their old job openly and honestly.

Wave after wave of locust-like attacks are constantly being staged in the western part of the Heathrow Empire from north to south. Coupled with the continuous penetration and advancement of the Bein people in the north, whether it is Philip V or Bokaninsky They all realize that this war may have just begun, and what will follow is the real suffering.

Compared with the smooth progress of the war in the north, it seemed a bit calm on the battlefield of Maci Khan in the south. Liang Chongxin's performance on the battlefield of Maci Khan seemed to be overshadowed, especially when the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces invaded the eastern region of Maci Khan. After that, the Imperial Army didn't seem to make many big moves, which made the people of the Empire have a rather negative opinion of him.

However, Liang Chongxin seems to have no intention of changing his strategy. Yue Jing has been captured, and now only Anjie Province and the mainland of Maci Khan are left. The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces occupied the eastern region of Maci Khan and have stationed themselves on the spot. situation, the entire battle situation entered a wonderfully quiet state. What makes the people of the empire quite dissatisfied is that His Majesty the Emperor and the Privy Council seem to have no intention of interfering with Liang Chongxin's command. Although some media in the empire have insinuated criticism of Liang Chongxin's conservative style and outdated tactics, this cannot change the Privy Council's mind. Everything is still in accordance with their respective plans. The track continues to move.

The Maci Khans have entered a nationwide mobilization situation, and a large number of reserve troops have been recruited. This situation has made Maci Khan's own consumption even greater. The Nanyang Alliance has completely severed ties with Maci Khan under the pressure of the empire. trade, and at the request of the Tang Dynasty, the alliance troops were deployed to the northern border area to prevent the Machihans from jumping over the wall. This put Machi Khan into a desperate situation, especially the inability to import various strategic materials, forcing the Maci Khans to use their few strategic reserves, which also severely affected the Machi Khans' war preparations. It had a huge impact. Yue Jing, which was rich in grain, was occupied by the Tang army, and the only input channel was cut off. This situation made the Maci Khan people unable to wait any longer. Sitting back and eating nothing is the truest portrayal of the Maci Khan people now. If they can't quickly open up the situation , a few months later they would have to face a man-made famine. Hunger would force the Machi Khans to fight to the death, and Liang Chongxin was now waiting for the other party's desperate move.
