"Chapter 119: Southern Rebellion"
The earth is not a place of atonement, it is a place where we live. www.biquge.info Here we must strive to grasp truth and justice -- this is actually an ideal hidden in the depths of everyone's heart.
- Mazzini (one of the founders of a unified Italy)
Most of the generals of the original Werther tribe have surrendered to the city of Rome, and the situation within the kingdom of Esine is completely controlled by Queen Boudicca.
After the establishment of the twelve new towns, the overall strength of the Vitus tribe will be greatly increased by the complete integration of the Vitus tribe into its own Roman power, and the further expansion of the city of Rome will become the most powerful power in the eastern region.
Nine strong legions (four field legions, three Macedonian phalanx legions, and two cavalry legions) are the support of Rome City to crush other barbarian forces, and it is also the capital of Baifeng's pride in the eastern region.
Without the eastern part of the Werther tribe, the Eastern Alliance and the Lucian tribe would be able to barely compete with the city of Rome, and if the two tribes were united, they would not necessarily be able to confront the city of Rome head-on.
Unfortunately, the expansion of the Eastern Alliance was so unbridled that the contradictions between the Luxi tribe and the Eastern Alliance intensified, and the two sides even fought a bitter war in which both sides were defeated.
Barbarian warriors, accustomed to pleasure and revenge, are not conspirators of the civilized world, and they are absolutely impossible to compromise with their enemies, let alone unite with their sabre-rattling enemies against other forces that have no hatred.
Even if the powerful forces of Rome already have the strength to dominate the eastern region, the Luxi tribe, which has never had a head-on conflict with Rome, would rather fight a life-and-death war with Rome to decide the ownership of hegemony than choose to form an alliance with the Eastern Alliance.
This is the character of the barbarian warriors, you can say that they are incomprehensible, you can think that they are brainless, but you have to admit that they are the real people, otherwise why would the people of the civilized world call them barbarians?
The looseness of the social system and the backwardness of production technology can be changed through study; only the national character that is engraved in the bones and integrated into the blood cannot be changed, and that is the most precious thing of a nation.
The simple, rough, fierce and direct barbarian warrior is actually the warrior that Bai Feng admires and admires the most, compared to the Roman soldiers who are active in politics in the Roman world, the unpretentious barbarian warrior is the most perfect and qualified soldier in Bai Feng's heart.
After entering the sea from the mouth of the Cangluo River, the endless ocean always opens people's minds, and the heroic Bai Feng will be on the top deck of the trireme every day, quietly waiting for the sunrise and sunset.
When the expeditionary fleet arrived at the port of Kunohe, it was only two hours before the sunset of this day, and it was impossible for the huge fleet to send all the soldiers ashore at dawn, and Bai Feng, who was not in a hurry to land anyway, took the personal guard battalion ashore first.
Such a large fleet arrived at the port of Kunohe, and it was naturally impossible for Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who were stationed in Kunohe Castle, not to know about it; in fact, as soon as Bai Feng stepped on the port, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, dressed in the samurai costumes of the Yamato Empire, greeted him.
"Sanada Nobuyuki (Sanada Nobuyoshi), welcome to the arrival of the lord!" Looking at Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, who were full of excitement, they bowed in unison, so that Bai Feng, who didn't care about false etiquette, had to admit that the etiquette of the samurai would indeed make people feel good.
"Xinxing, Xinfan, you have worked hard!" Bai Feng, who was in a good mood, first praised the talents of the two generals he was optimistic about, and then asked: "In the days when I am not in the Yanhuang family, how is the family's elimination plan going?"
"This ......" Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi looked at each other without knowing how to answer, and their hesitant expressions looked in Bai Feng's eyes, making Bai Feng realize that things might not be as smooth as he imagined.
"Is it that the family's external expansion is not going well?" Looking at the two who didn't dare to speak, Bai Feng had to comfort them as much as possible: "No matter what happens to the family, it has nothing to do with you, you just have to tell me." ”
"Alas...... Family Governor, it's not that we don't want to talk about it, but this matter is really unspeakable!" After some struggle, Sanada Nobuyoshi, who was still a younger brother, raised his head and began to explain a series of things that happened in the Yanhuang family to Bai Feng with a depressed face.
"Ever since your family governor left Kunohe Castle with his army, my father, Nanbu, and Izumiyama-sama have led their respective armies to garrison their castles, and have been actively training their soldiers to prepare for attacking the small families at both ends of the snake and rat.
All of this was done according to your plan, until Father-sama's army and Izumiyama-sama's army conquered more than a dozen small families one after another, and Hachinohe Castle and Nobeji Castle, which lacked troops to garrison, actually broke out in a rebellion intending to restore the name of the southern family!"
"Since you are still leading your army to garrison Jiuhe City unharmed, it proves that this rebellion has not succeeded, doesn't it? A failed rebellion is just an opportunity for our Yanhuang family to eliminate internal rebels, and it is not worth worrying about. ”
"The lord is wise!" originally thought that Bai Feng would be furious immediately after hearing the news of the rebellion, but it turned out to be an understatement that Bai Feng didn't care about;
"The truth of the matter is exactly as you expected, the rebellion organized by the former retainer of the southern family, Kitanobu Ai, the Hachinohe family, and the Kuna family, was suppressed by the army of the southern Nobunao-sama before they could contact the Tsugaru family and the Spo family.
Although this rebellion only lasted for about ten days, it greatly affected my father's and Izumiyama's plans to march outward, and some other families that could have been conquered by our family also took this opportunity to join the Tsugaru family and the Spo family. ”
"I believe that with the strength of our Yanhuang family, even if the Tsugaru family and the Spo family are united, they will not be our opponents, this time, I will personally lead the army to solve the Tsugaru family and the Spo family, and make the Mutsu country become the Mutsu country of our Yanhuang family!"
The purpose of Bai Feng's expedition is to completely take down the Mutsu Kingdom, create a good development environment for the Yanhuang family, and make the mountains in the border area of the Yamato Empire Mutsu become a natural barrier for the Yanhuang family.
As for the rebellion launched by the former retainers of the Southern Family, the suppression of the Southern Nobunao Army has proved his attitude, and as long as he, the governor of the Southern Family, is loyal to him, the other Xiaoxiao who are unwilling to lose their power and status are just ants.
Rather than letting these disloyal people lurk in the Yanhuang family, it is better to take this opportunity to eliminate them at one time; a united and stable Yanhuang family is the Yanhuang family that Bai Feng wants, and the sooner the unstable factors are eliminated, the smaller the loss will be.
