Chapter 557: Prince Kang, the son of Emperor Yongchang

Regarding the momentum of Luo Mazi's words, Lin Ziran naturally knew what he was talking about, that is, the momentum of the emperor's establishment.

Seeing that the army is about to go north to Jingzhou and enter the Beijing Division, it is natural for him to start creating public opinion now, and then take advantage of the situation to establish the emperor after entering the Beijing Division.

This matter is not a secret, many people inside the Daheng Unification Army, and even many people outside know what the ultimate goal of the Daheng Unification Army is, to unify Daheng and establish the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng.

And they are indeed striving for this goal.

In fact, with the territory controlled by the current Daheng Unification Army, Lin Ziran can now be called the emperor, but the Daheng people's concept of great unification is relatively deep, and they attach more importance to the name of righteousness.

Although the Ji royal family has declined, but people are still staying in the capital now, when the Yongchang Son of Heaven is still there, if you call the emperor separately, this is actually very awkward for many Daheng people.

In the past few decades, there have been many large feudal towns that have risen and fallen, and no one dares to openly claim the emperor system, not even one of them who claims to be kings themselves, and there is a reason for that.

Because the people of Daheng don't want to see this!

There can only be one country of the Great Heng people on the Blue Star, and there can only be one emperor of the Great Heng people, which is the great unified concept formed by the Great Heng people for thousands of years, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

However, if you enter the Jingshi and kill the Yongchang Son of Heaven, and then establish a new dynasty on this basis and claim the emperor, the Daheng people will feel that it is justified.

In short, the Seventh Dynasty can replace the Sixth Dynasty, and Lin Ziran can replace the Son of Heaven and Yongchang.

But the old and new dynasties cannot coexist, let alone the two emperors of the Great Hengren!

Therefore, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly, at least you have to kill the Beijing division and kill the Ji royal family, otherwise, it will make people laugh and even cause disgust among the people!

So Lin Ziran shook his hand slightly: "Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

Now Lin Ziran still pays more attention to the military operations on the other side of the Mi River, after all, whether the Northern Expedition is successful or not is the key to determining whether he can establish the Seventh Dynasty.

And now, it seems, everything is going well.

As long as the Mihe River can be crossed, then the follow-up will be able to rely on the firepower superiority of the current artillery, machine guns and other weapons of the Daheng Unification Army, as well as cavalry superiority and tactical superiority, to replicate last year's Dongdingzhou Campaign, Zishengzhou Campaign, and Quyangzhou Campaign.

When Lin Ziran relaxed, the third son of Emperor Yongchang of the Ji royal family, who was also sitting in the rear and had just received the report of the fiasco on the front line, Prince Kang Ji Yubo frowned!

At present, there is no official collective name for the Tri-State Allied Forces on the Mihe Defense Line, and everyone usually calls them the Tri-State Allied Forces and is under the command of the Tri-State Joint Command.

The largest number of troops in the coalition was Jingzhou, with about 150,000 troops, and the other two states each sent 50,000 troops.

The total strength is about 250,000.

According to the tripartite agreement, Prince Kang, with the respect of a prince, served as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of Jingzhou, Gaoqingzhou, and Ningwuzhou, and coordinated and commanded the allied forces of the three states on the Mihe defense line. The other two states each sent senior generals as deputy commanders.

At the same time, the three parties jointly dispatched staff officers and other officers to form a three-state joint command to coordinate and command the three-state coalition forces, of course, the mutual clamping within the coalition forces is also large, and Prince Kang can only command 150,000 Jingzhou troops, as for the 50,000 Gaoqing Prefecture troops and 50,000 Ningwuzhou troops, people will not directly listen to Prince Kang's orders, and if they fight, they can only negotiate.

According to the previous negotiations between the three parties, each of the three major ferries was responsible for one, and the most important of them, the Wuyu Ferry, which required the most troops, was in charge of the troops from the Jingzhou side. The other two ferries were smaller and required fewer troops, with the Ningwu Prefecture troops in charge of one and Gaoqing Prefecture in charge of one.

Each of the three is responsible for a ferry crossing, does not interfere with each other, and if it cooperates, it is coordinated by the Joint Command.

Anyway, everyone has to discuss!

However, the army of Jingzhou was personally responsible, heavily guarded, and the Wuyu Ferry, which was equipped with the heaviest weapons, was forcibly broken through by the forest thief army.

This made Prince Kang lament!

Ten days ago, he personally led many high-ranking generals in the coalition headquarters, including high-level representatives from Gaoqingzhou and Ningwuzhou, as well as senior advisers from Pingnanzhou, to inspect the front line of the Mihe defense line.

When inspecting the front line, whether it was Prince Kang himself or the high-level generals and representatives of other states, they were full of confidence in the position deployment and firepower intensity of their Mihe defense line.

Many people said that this Mihe defense line was the most powerful defense line they had ever seen in their military career!

Some people even said that the Mihe defense line is the most powerful defense line with firepower density in the thousand-year history of Daheng and even in the history of Blue Star!

In particular, the Wuyu Ferry, one of the three major ferries, has more than 60,000 troops stationed in it, and the artillery firepower to provide support is unprecedentedly strong.

At the Wuyu Ferry alone, there were more than 150 rear-loading guns of various calibers, including dozens of 100-mm field guns, 120-mm field guns, and 150-mm howitzers, which were very scarce in the entire Northern Seven States Alliance.

In addition, there were more than a hundred front-loading rifled guns.

As for smoothbore guns, it was even more and even ignored.

The more than 60,000 troops stationed at the Wuyu Ferry are all equipped with the Type 52 rifle produced by the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, well, this gun is also the imitation production of the Luo'an Type 3 rifle.

Although this rifle was made by the Nanhai Prefecture thief army, I have to say that this is a good gun, which can shoot more than ten rounds in one minute.

Its powerful firepower can be called the first shot of our time!

The more than 60,000 defenders of Wuyu Ferry, equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, gathered more than 60% of the artillery on the entire Mihe defense line, and its firepower density even exceeded normal needs!

This is also why Prince Kang, the commander of the coalition army, and the senior generals of other states in the coalition army believe that the Wuyu Ferry is impermeable and almost impossible to break through, and it is impossible for the entire Mihe defense line to be breached.

Even if the Daheng unified thief army forcibly crossed the river and rushed to the beachhead, their own defenders were able to use the trenches, fortresses, and a large amount of artillery and rifle fire to destroy the enemy on the beachhead.

But in their own eyes, these were already extremely powerful defenses, but they were attacked even more terrifyingly!

The front line reported that the forest thief army used at least 1,000 rear-mounted barreled artillery guns and more than 50 river warships to cover the battle, and its powerful artillery fire directly covered the area along the Mihe River and then to a depth of five or six kilometers, but almost the entire Wuyu Ferry and the deep area behind it were subjected to intensive shelling.

To be honest, Prince Kang didn't believe it, how could the forest thief army use thousands of rear-loading artillery?

But that's what the front-line troops reported!
