Hearing Eli's request for troop support, Yi Xingchen frowned and asked, "Where did the troops come from?"

"From the Yunzhou Legion, 10,000 recruits were transferred to the Western Regions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Eli already had an idea, replied.

Although Yunzhou is far away from Anhua City, it can be said that there is an east and a west, but Eli still considers transferring troops from the Yunzhou Legion, because the army of the Yunzhou Legion is relatively sufficient to be transferred for reinforcements.

It's just that Yi Xingchen had other concerns, and he immediately asked: "The recruits of the Yunzhou Legion, most of them are from Yunzhou, can their loyalty be guaranteed?"

Hearing this, Eli was very calm and said: "The soldiers of the Yunzhou Legion, although they are from Yunzhou, Yunzhou has already belonged to the Xinghua Empire, even if they want to revive the country, I am afraid it is impossible not to face this fact first. Moreover, if they were to be transferred to the Western Regions, they would be far away from Yunzhou, and they would not have any reliance on to rebel against the Xinghua Empire. After all, their roots are not in the Western Regions, they are not familiar with the Western Regions, therefore, in the Western Regions, they can only rely on the Empire. If they go to the Western Regions, they will have different intentions, but where, if there is no empire, the soldiers of Yunzhou will not be able to become powerful. So, we can use them with confidence. As for their ability, the recruits of the Yunzhou Legion have participated in the big war and will inevitably be able to quickly grow into experienced veterans. ”

"It's just that the loss of these 10,000 recruits in Yunzhou may also affect the situation in Yunzhou. Yi Xingchen said.

This question calmed down a little, and the question raised by Yi Xingchen was based on the consideration that Yunzhou had just been occupied by the Xinghua Empire and the situation was unstable. If Yunzhou's army has too much turbulence, it is easy for Yunzhou to make waves again.

Eli thought for a while, and finally his eyes lit up, and he had an idea, and said to Yi Xingchen: "Your Majesty, this problem can also be solved." In the four major cities in China, Wangdong, Xilin, Beisha, and Nantu, we will recruit troops again, and after the number reaches 12,000, we can form a third-level army of the empire to support Yunzhou and replenish Yunzhou's troops. Yunzhou is too big and has too much population to allow Yunzhou's local forces to fully manage Yunzhou, and the empire needs to strengthen the military forces directly under the empire. ”

Yi Xingchen listened to Eli's analysis quietly, and after thinking about Eli's words carefully, he understood what Eli meant.

The so-called military force directly under the empire is an army that is more stable and loyal to the empire than the Yunzhou Legion. As Yi Xingchen said, although Yunzhou has indeed become the occupation area of the Xinghua Empire and a subsidiary of the Xinghua Empire, it has to be said that using the military to fight the world and ruling Yunzhou with power does not mean that it can be said that Yunzhou can be controlled very firmly. The will of the people is the most elusive thing, and there is no king in history who can say that he can fully understand the will of the people. Moreover, there are definitely Yunzhou people who sympathize with Xia Guo, and the cabinet cannot but take certain precautions to avoid a backlash.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of Yunzhou, if the inherent power of Yunzhou can be diluted to a certain extent and troops from other regions can be injected, it will definitely be helpful to stabilize Yunzhou.

"Okay, then send a letter to Qin Zhengguo, dispatch 10,000 Yunzhou recruits, enter the Southern Earth City of the Empire, and then complete the change of clothes in the South Earth City, and then go to Anhua City in the Western Regions by the suspended carriage. Domestically, the conscription should be completed as soon as possible to fill the vacancies in Yunzhou. Eli, you are responsible for this matter. The Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of National Defense should cooperate with each other. Organize another batch of supplies and send them to Anhua City together. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Eli replied.

At the end of the meeting, Yi Xingchen returned to the backyard of the palace.

Under the pavilion in the backyard of the palace, on a stone table, there were a few snacks and tea, and Liu Yiyi was sitting on a chair, holding Yi Xingchen's son Yi Chengye, teasing him. Behind Liu Yiyi, there were two maids and two guards guarding carefully. Sitting opposite Liu Yiyi was her younger brother Liu Mingming.

"See Your Majesty!" Liu Mingming saw Yi Xingchen coming, and quickly stood up and saluted him. Although emotionally, Liu Mingming should call Yi Xingchen his brother-in-law, Liu Mingming pays more attention to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister. Although Liu Mingming is not a courtier of the Xinghua Empire, Yi Xingchen is His Majesty the King, and this status is far higher than his status as his brother-in-law, so in any public occasion, Liu Mingming will never forget this, he always very consciously calls Yi Xingchen "Your Majesty".

"It's all family, sit down. Yi Xingchen said with a smile. It was Yi Xingchen himself, who didn't want Liu Mingming to be in the way of this identity, so he let him relax a little. Then, Yi Xingchen turned to Liu Yiyi and said, "Queen, show me Chengye." ”

Liu Yiyi hugged Yi Chengye with a smile and showed Yi Xingchen his little face.

Yi Xingchen touched his son's little face and said softly: "Call Dad, Dad......"

"It's only been a few months, and I can call my dad ......" Liu Yiyi heard that Yi Xingchen was so "inch inch", and she had to laugh and tease him.

Yi Xingchen laughed, turned to Liu Mingming, and asked, "Brother-in-law, you went to the palace to find your sister, is there anything wrong?"

"He's going to do business, to open a garment factory in Xinghua City. However, the Ministry of Commerce did not approve it, and the cabinet did not approve it, no, they came to me to help intercede......" Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, why do you want to open a garment factory? Can you tell me, do you want to make money or do you want a career?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Your Majesty, I want to have a career of my own, and I also want to make money. The reason why I chose to invest in a garment factory was because I thought that the clothing of the people of the empire was too monotonous, and if I opened a factory and produced colorful clothes, I would definitely be able to make money. Liu Mingming said.

Yi Xingchen looked at Liu Mingming seriously and said, "If you want to build a garment factory in Xinghua City, I'm afraid you can't." There is not enough electricity here, and every kilowatt-hour of electricity is precious and cannot be supplied to private individuals. However, I am very supportive of your development of your own business, and if you wish, I can give you two options: I can arrange for you to go to any city in the empire and serve as a civil official, and second, you can choose to return to Blue Mercury, and I will offer you 10 million euros, and I will not ask you what you want to do, on the condition that you take ant potions. ”

"Your Majesty......" Liu Yiyi was a little panicked, she heard Yi Xingchen's words say so seriously, a rare serious attitude, she couldn't help but be a little worried, whether Liu Mingming's words made Yi Xingchen angry, so she wanted to open her mouth to ease the atmosphere, hoping that her younger brother didn't say anything inappropriate, which made Yi Xingchen unhappy.

Seeing that Liu Yiyi's face was a little nervous, Yi Xingchen realized that his attitude was indeed a little too serious, so Liu Yiyi misunderstood, so he immediately gave her a smile and explained: "I didn't get angry, but gave him a chance to choose." He is an adult and has the right to choose. ”

Liu Mingming was a little shocked and a little dissatisfied. He really couldn't understand why his brother-in-law didn't agree with his idea, but would give him two choices. Neither of these options was what he wanted.

Yi Xingchen was the emperor of the empire, and Liu Mingming didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Liu Ming said goodbye uncomfortably.

After Liu Mingming left, Yi Xingchen said to Liu Yiyi: "My brother-in-law's heart is too big, and I have time to study more." If he doesn't want to learn, he has to go through it. You can't take care of him for half his life, you have to give him a chance to be independent. ”

Liu Yiyi thought about it and nodded, agreeing with her husband's words.

Yi Xingchen accompanied his wife and children for a while, had a meal, rested in the bedroom, and when he woke up, he returned to the study, turned on the light and read the documents.

The territory of the Xinghua Empire is getting bigger and bigger, and the development of all aspects is complicated. At the same time, there are more and more things that Yi Xingchen needs to worry about. If it weren't for a relatively complete cabinet system to manage state affairs for him, Yi Xingchen would have died of exhaustion.

With the emperor's consent, Zihada's men successfully received ammunition supplies.

When the ammunition supply and the emperor's telegram were sent to the Hasara region, Zihada was grateful and determined to turn the city upside down, so that the Xinghua Empire could win the Western Regions and create time.

Zihada re-established an organization called the Resistance. In the name of rebellion against Rome, he found a remote valley in the Hasara region as a base, and then raised a banner to recruit a group of oppressed people who rebelled against the tyrannical rule of Rome to form a rebel army. Because of Giles's sweeping activities some time ago, many bandit gangs were either destroyed or defeated and hid in the mountains and forests. Therefore, when Qihada raised the flag, in a short period of time, it once again expanded to the scale of 1,000 people, and continued to do the work of robbers. Only this time they robbed not only the caravans, but also the transports of the Roman army.

The Xinghua Army Base on the valley between Anhua City and Loulan City was finally named "Hualou Base" after discussion by Zhao Bai and Wei Siming. The Hualou base is not only the largest military base of the Xinghua Army in the Western Regions, but also the headquarters of the Xinghua Army, which oversees the Xinghua Army in the Western Regions, including the Anhua Army.

An important military meeting is being held at the Hualou base. Zhao Bai and a number of other high-ranking generals of the Xinghua Army attended the meeting. Because this meeting is related to the war situation in the Western Regions, the outcome of which will affect the situation in the entire Western Regions.

Yan Zhenhua, Wu Zhendong, and Yan Zhenhua, who performed prominently in the West Lookout Tower, also attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Zhao Bai first determined that the strategy of the Xinghua Army was to annihilate the Roman legions to the greatest extent, and simply put, the Roman legions were the main enemies of the Xinghua army. The coalition forces of the various countries are the secondary enemy, and to deal with the secondary enemy, Zhao Bai decided to use the maximum superior forces to dispatch the main force of the whole army, concentrate firepower, and destroy the coalition army first. Annihilated the coalition forces, and then concentrated on dealing with the Roman legions.

At the military meeting, no one objected to Zhao Bai's strategic plan. At the military meeting, Zhao Bai did not want to talk about strategy, but about tactics.

After the expansion of the army, not counting the Anhua City Guards (defenders, not Anhua Legion), the Xinghua Army deployed in Anhua City in the Western Regions has more than 6,000 soldiers (including the Anhua Army), and the worst equipment is rifles.

The biggest reliance of the Xinghua Army is not guns, but an artillery battalion of the Xinghua Army. In order to improve the military strength of the Xinghua Empire in the Western Regions, the Imperial side could successively provide 500 mortars and tens of thousands of artillery shells to the Xinghua Army in the Western Regions, and set up a mortar battalion with great lethality.

Five hundred mortars fired a salvo, Zhao Bai thought about it, and he felt excited. He knew what kind of effect a hundred shells would have to bombard the enemy. Being in the middle of it, it's going to be hell. The rumbling explosion will take the life of the soldier in an instant, and the soldier who is lucky enough not to die, as long as he is around the area where the shell falls, will suffer great damage to his ears and become deaf in an instant. Soldiers who are unlucky, in the landing point of several shells, will be shocked to death. This is also the reason why Zhao Bai was able to win this war.

The entire military meeting, which lasted two hours, was concluded. Yan Zhenhua and Wu Zhendong, who had been in the conference room all the time, did not say a word, and sat quietly, and they also had the task of leading the troops. Yan Zhenhua was about to lead a rifle company to ambush around the coalition forces, and as long as the artillery battalion attacked the enemy's coalition forces twice, he could lead the army to attack and quickly crush the enemy. There were no less than ten ambush companies like Yan Zhenhua, and the purpose was to create a situation in which the enemy was irretrievably defeated. Wu Zhendong also led a company, but his mission was different, but he lurked in Loulan City, using pistols and grenades to engage in street battles with the enemy's coalition forces, on the one hand, to drag the enemy, and on the other hand, to divide the enemy's coalition forces. A street fighting company like Wu Zhendong is not deployed much in Loulan City, that is, three companies, less than 500 people. As the saying goes, soldiers are more expensive than fine, not more expensive.

Zhao Bai will lead 2,000 Xinghua troops, as well as a mortar battalion, to launch a general attack on the enemy's coalition forces outside Loulan City.

The high efficiency of the Xinghua Army stems from the fact that the Xinghua Army was prepared in advance and arranged for the army to arrive on the battlefield one step in advance. As soon as the meeting ended, Yan Zhenhua, Wu Zhendong and other officers rode fast horses to the Loulan area to receive the company arranged for them by the Xinghua Army. Fortunately, the Xinghua Army has a unique approach to military training. There is no need for officers to be familiar with the soldiers, as long as they are familiar with the instructions of the Xinghua Army and determine their identity

At this time, although the allied forces of the various countries had entered the Western Regions, their advance had been slow. The coalition forces didn't know if they were worried that the Xinghua army would sneak attack, or that they were worried about the resistance of the Lou Lan army, so they were cautious or cautious along the way. Having learned from the setbacks encountered by the Moon Kingdom in the Western Watchtower, the armies of other countries in the coalition army have been on guard for half a day, resting for half a day, and on guard all the way. Of course, there is a more important point that they are the armies of the vassal states of the Roman Empire, and even if they win, it depends on the face of the Roman Empire, and there are few positive countries.

In this way, the Xinghua Army in Anhua City deployed troops inside and outside Loulan City very calmly. Not only that, but there is also a trap for the coalition forces. (To be continued.) )
