Chapter 252: Border Conflict
In fact, not all orc countries are unwilling to form an alliance with the three major empires of the elf race, such as Joselu, the emperor of the Silver Wolf Empire, who intends to unite the three major empires of the elf race.
In the palace of Silver Radiance City, the first capital of the Silver Wolf Empire, Emperor Joseru asked Governor Igna, "Is there anything going on in the New World?" β
As the eldest son of Emperor Joselu and the next heir to the throne of the Silver Wolf Empire, Igna has been staying in the second capital of the Silver Wolf Empire for the past three years, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Silver Wolf Empire's border guards against the Han and Tang Empires.
Governor Igna said: "Father, at present, there are about 12 million human civilians left in our Silver Wolf Empire's Violet Province, Calla Lily Province, Xiangxuelan Province, and Holy Wolf Flower Province.
However, these 12 million human civilians seem to have no intention of leaving the four provinces of our Silver Wolf Empire.
Now some ministers have suggested that they should follow the example of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, and the Black Bear, and promulgate a stricter immigration policy for human beings, and strive to eliminate the human civilians in the four provinces as soon as possible.
lest in the future, when war breaks out, these human civilians will pull the Empire back. β
The immigration policy formulated by the Silver Wolf Empire before was much more relaxed than that of the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Black Bear Empire.
It was only because of the war between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire that a large number of humans in the four provinces of the Silver Wolf Empire immigrated to the territory of the Zhou family in the Han and Tang Empires.
After the end of the war between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, the number of humans in the Silver Wolf Empire who emigrated to the Han and Tang Empires was gradually decreasing.
Although human beings have always been in an oppressed position within the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire, there is a saying that the homeland is inseparable, and the wolf people are equivalent to humans, and they are the outsiders in this land.
What's more, there are some people who are reluctant to leave the place where they live as long as they can live, and after more than two hundred years of rule by the Silver Wolf Empire, some humans are even willing to be obedient citizens of the wolf clan.
Emperor Joselu then said, "There is no need for us to be as desperate as the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, and the Black Bear.
There are many humans who can still contribute to our Silver Wolf Empire.
Now the werewolf people and dog people in the four provinces together exceed 60 million, and 12 million human civilians can't make any waves.
By the way, I called you back this time to discuss with you about the alliance with the three empires of the elven race. β
Governor Igna couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Is it possible for our Silver Wolf Empire to unite with the three major empires of the Elven Race?"
Father, our Silver Wolf Empire has re-signed a military alliance with the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard. β
Emperor Joselu sighed and said, "Igna, if you stay in the New World, you must know more about the strength of the Zhou family in the Han and Tang Empires.
Now in the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, the number of battleships and battle cruisers with all main guns added up is at least more than 1,400, and maybe even more.
And the army and air force of the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires are equally powerful, even if our five spirit countries are united, we will not dare to make any rash moves against the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empire.
In this case, when will our Silver Wolf Empire's Bauhinia Province, Tulip Province, and Phalaenopsis Province be recovered! β
After a pause, Emperor Joselu continued: "The Natural Elf Empire, the Light Elf Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire, their military strength cannot be underestimated, especially the armies of these three elf countries, and their combat effectiveness is even more powerful.
If the five spirit countries can unite with the three elf countries, then we can occupy an absolute advantage over the Zhou family of the Han and Tang Empires, and even bring the Barbarian Bull Empire with us. β
Governor Igna hesitated for a moment and said, "But Father, the three empires of the Elven Race have always hoped to enter the New World and obtain more mineral resources.
However, our six spirit nations have already reached a secret agreement, and we must not let the three major empires of the elf race step into the new world.
The Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, and the Flying Leopard may not agree to ally with the three empires of the elves and let the three empires of the elves enter the new world. β
"That's why I called you back and asked if you had any good ideas?"
Governor Igna smiled bitterly and said, "Father, unless our five spirit nations and the Zhou family break out into war again.
Perhaps considering the strength of the Zhou family, the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, and the Flying Leopard might agree to form an alliance with the three major empires of the Elven Clan, but this probability is not too great. β
"The outbreak of war? Maybe our Silver Wolf Empire can break the kettle once! β
On the morning of May 12, 1549, on the border between Jingzhou Town of the Han and Tang Empire and Violet Province of the Silver Wolf Empire, a patrol of the border guards of the Han and Tang Empire met a patrol of the Silver Wolf Army during a routine patrol.
This has been a frequent occurrence in recent years, and the patrols on both sides have always been safe.
But this time, a sudden gunshot rang out, and then a soldier of the Silver Wolf Army patrol fell to the ground, and then a shootout broke out between the patrols of both sides, which eventually led to 9 dead and 7 wounded on the side of the Tang Empire's border guards.
On the side of the Silver Wolf Army, 12 people were killed and 6 were wounded, and then the adjacent border areas of the two countries immediately became tense.
The Silver Wolf Empire quickly held a press conference, announcing that this border conflict was completely provoked by the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires, and demanded that the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires be responsible for the whole thing.
The Zhou family also held a press conference afterwards, announcing that this border conflict was deliberately provoked by the Silver Wolf Empire, and the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires would not rule out the resolution of this matter by means of war.
The press conference of the two sides exuded a strong smell of gunpowder, so that the clouds of war immediately shrouded the heads of the Zhou family and the Five ** Alliance in the Han and Tang Empires.
Because of the military alliance signed by the five beast countries, after the outbreak of this border conflict, the armies of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, and Flying Leopard all entered a state of combat readiness.
In particular, the border areas between the Red Tiger Empire and the Han and Tang Empires Tongzhou Town, Lianzhou Town, and Dazhou Town even had some atmosphere before the Great War.
However, when the border conflict broke out between the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires and the silver wolf army, some people couldn't help but cheer.
In the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion in Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidered clothes platform, said excitedly to Zhao Rongguang: "Father, if the Zhou family can fight with the five beast countries this time, then it will be impossible for the Zhou family to take any action against the imperial court in a short period of time.
Now that the five beast countries have developed in the past few years, their military strength has become stronger, and it is best to fight with the Zhou family to lose both. β
Zhao Rongguang's face, although he also showed some joy, but his expression was not as excited as his son.
Zhao Rongguang knew very well in his heart that even if the five beast countries united to start a war with the Zhou family, they might not be able to defeat the Zhou family.
The last time the Zhou family went to war with six beast countries at the same time, they finally became the victor and drove the Wild Bull Empire back to the beast world.
Of course, in the last war, the Zhou family was able to win, and it was also related to the fact that the five countries of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard did not do their best.
However, after three years of development, especially after the annexation of the Luwei Empire and the Dongyue Empire, as well as the five towns in the southeast, the strength of the Zhou family has risen to a higher level.
At present, the Zhou family controls a total of 55 feudal towns, including 45 feudal towns in the Middle East Continent and 10 feudal towns in the Western Continent, with a total area of 57 million square kilometers and a population of more than 2.3 billion.
Although the Zhou family was still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Han and Tang Empires, in fact, the Zhou family had built an empire that had never been seen before.
In the view of Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, the reason why the Zhou family did not break away from the Han and Tang Empires was nothing more than to annex the remaining three forces of the Han and Tang Empires.
In the face of the threat of the Zhou family, in addition to supporting a forbidden army of more than 4 million, the imperial court also formed more than 4 million local troops in the Tianshengcheng area under its control, as well as Pushan Town, Pingyue Town, Jinggu Town, and Zhongfang Town, which can also be called a garrison force.
However, even if the weak combat effectiveness of the garrison force was excluded, the imperial court, with more than 8 million troops, could not resist the confidence of the Zhou family at all.
At present, the total population of the territory controlled by the imperial court can barely reach 100 million.
With a population of 100 million and more than 8 million troops, it was already the limit of the Han and Tang Empires.
"It's unknown whether the Zhou family can fight with the five orc countries this time, and we can't pin all our hopes on those orc countries.
Is there any new progress in the contact between your embroidery table and the Qi'an Empire? β
The Qi'an Empire is one of the only five remaining countries in the Eastern Continent, with a land area of about 8 million square kilometers and a population of 300 million.
Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidery table, said with a wry smile: "Father, the Qi'an Empire is now divided into more than a dozen forces, and our embroidery platform has secretly sent people to contact three of them.
However, these three forces are very cautious, and when they heard that the people of our embroidery table represented the court of the Han and Tang Empires, they no longer had contact with the people of our embroidery table. β
Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, said in a deep voice: "Since the Qi'an Empire has more than a dozen forces, then continue to contact with other forces.
The imperial court now needs all the allies that can be united, the Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire, and you can also send someone to contact you. β
Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidery platform, hesitated and said: "Father, after the Liang Yan Empire annexed the Wanyue Empire, it seems that the relationship with the Zhou family has become a lot stiffer.
I wonder if I should send someone to contact the Liang Yan Empire?
In the Eastern Continent, the Liang Yan Empire could be said to be the only country that could pose some threat to the Zhou family. β
"Yes, but for my father's sake, the chances of the Liang Yan Empire forming an alliance with the imperial court are not very high.
Your embroidery desk will do more articles within the Zhou family next, if you can let the Zhou family take care of themselves, there will be no energy to fight the idea of the court again. β
Zhao Shicong, the commander of the embroidery table, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Father, when will Jing'er inherit the throne?" β
Ouyang Jing, the current crown prince of the Han and Tang Empires, is actually the son of Zhao Shicong, and the Jing'er mentioned by Zhao Shicong refers to Ouyang Jing.
Zhao Rongguang hesitated for a moment and said, "Ouyang Hui is bedridden now.
If we want, we can immediately let Ouyang Hui return to heaven and let Jing'er inherit the throne.
However, this is an eventful time, in order to avoid causing any trouble, we better wait a little longer, as long as the Zhou family can fight with the five beast countries this time, we can immediately let Jing'er ascend the throne! β
Ouyang Hui, the emperor of the Han and Tang Empires, has always been unwilling after being overthrown by Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, especially under the persecution of Zhao Rongguang, canonized Ouyang Jing, the son of Empress Zhao Yan, and became the crown prince.
You must know that Emperor Ouyang Hui didn't even know whether this son was born to him.
So Emperor Ouyang Hui was scheming and tried to overthrow Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, through a coup d'Γ©tat half a year ago, and regain his imperial power.
It's a pity that all the actions of Emperor Ouyang Hui are under the control of Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army, and in the end this coup turned into a farce, and then Emperor Ouyang Hui couldn't afford to fall ill.
As for why Emperor Ouyang Hui couldn't afford to fall ill, then he had to ask Zhao Rongguang, the governor of the forbidden army.
In the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion in Jieyang City, the capital of Shuonan Town, Shuonan Jiedu made Shi Desheng say to his eldest son Shi Zihao in a deep voice: "The matter of contact with the Zhou family will be slowed down first.
This border conflict between the Zhou family and the Silver Wolf Empire is likely to trigger another war between the Zhou family and those beast countries.
Once the war breaks out, there may be some changes, and our Shuonan Town does not need to rush to the Zhou family. β
After Lechang Town, Longnan Town, Anlu Town, Dongling Town, and Puxing Town in the southeast of the Han and Tang Empires also chose to return to the Zhou family, the pressure on Shuonan Town suddenly increased countless times.
In addition to the Heavenly Saint City, the imperial court now controls the land of the four towns.
Shuodong Town annexed the Xiao Han Empire, which is equivalent to controlling the land of the Four Towns.
However, Shuonan Town has only one feudal town, and it is still surrounded by the Zhou family.
In addition, in the past few years, the intelligence organization of the Zhou family has been infiltrating the Shuonan army, which makes Shuonan Jiedu make Shi Desheng feel more and more unsafe, and as a last resort, Shuonan Jiedu makes Shi Desheng have to prepare to give up the entire Shuonan Town in order to protect his family.
Shi Zihao said excitedly: "Father, I will immediately notify you to stop contact with the Zhou family." β
Shi Zihao, as the eldest son of Shi Desheng, the envoy of Shuonan Jiedu, and also controls the Shuonan naval fleet in Shuonan Town, is already the heir of Shuonan Jiedu.
Handed over the entire Shuonan Town to the Zhou family, Shi Zihao, the Shuonan Jiedu, made the heir of course unwilling.
Shuonan Jiedu made Shi Desheng sigh and said: "In fact, with the current background of the Zhou family, even if it is defeated by the hands of the five beast countries, it will not be able to shake the foundation of the Zhou family.
However, at that time, if our Shi family took refuge in the Zhou family, we could retain more interests. β
