Chapter 303: The Beacon of the Western Regions (12)

As Li Xun and Fan Zhongyun guessed, half a month later, Chengguo, one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, first rose up and killed the overseer sent by Dashi here, as well as two hundred garrisons.

Chengguo succeeded in the uprising, and quickly received the response of several neighboring countries, and large-scale civil unrest broke out completely, and other countries in the Western Regions, at this time, were also ready to move, and the situation was once very critical.

Hammerezi walked up and down the room, his brow furrowed, his face irritated and worried.

The outbreak of civil unrest in the Western Regions, the upper echelons of the Dashi Empire, in fact, had a premonition, almost 20 years ago, the 36 countries of the Western Regions, there was a very large rebellion, a few years can not be quelled, finally, the Dashi Emperor took the method of envy and power, suppression and appeasement, and gave a promise, but those who surrendered to sincerity will not be blamed in the past, and all their own treatment will be equivalent to that of Dashi citizens, and there will be no discrimination and differences.

This measure worked very well, and the rebellion was eventually quelled.

In the first few years, the promises and promises of the Emperor of the Dashi Empire were indeed achieved, but this period was also the most intense period of internal struggle within the empire, less than 20 years, four emperors were replaced, and the policies of the Western Regions countries slowly changed, and the original promises and policies were destroyed, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people of the Western Regions, especially in this generation of Dashi Emperors.

Aleppo relied on force, forcibly ascended to the throne of the emperor, dissatisfied with him, dissatisfied, very many, resistance and struggle continues, wars often occur, in order to obtain sufficient war resources, Aleppo has seven times to increase the taxes of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, the dissatisfaction of the countries of the Western Regions, with the spread of time, has reached a peak.

Two months ago, Dashi and the western power, the eclipse country, because of the friction of the border land, the relationship is becoming more and more tense, the war is already on the verge of breaking out, the gathering and recruitment of a huge army, has put the empire's finances on the verge of collapse, for this situation, Aleppo has no choice but to issue an edict again, the eighth time to increase the taxes of the countries of the Western Regions, and strictly order, not to use grain as a tax, the countries of the Western Regions, produce food, in addition, other things are not rich, now, Dashi does not allow them to pay taxes with food, This undoubtedly drove them to their death, and in the end, a large-scale riot, with the beginning of the war between the two countries of Dashi and the lunar eclipse, finally broke out completely.

The battle at the front was tense, there was a problem in the rear, and Aleppo could not send reinforcements to the Western Regions at all, so he could only rely on the Dashi garrison that existed in the Western Regions to solve the rebellion.

"What are you waiting for, Lord Doge? Immediately send troops to Chengguo to suppress the rebellion! ”

A middle-aged man, seeing that Hammerezi didn't speak for a long time, just walked around there, finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and said loudly.

Hammer Eye looked at him coldly: "Boha, remember your identity, I, Hammer Eggy, am the Governor of Western State, what to do, it's not your turn to point fingers here." ”

Boha was not a subordinate of Hammerezi, he came from the capital of Dashi, Marmaha, and was ordered by Emperor Aleppo to supervise Hammerezi's troops to quell the rebellion.

Dashi's supervisor system has a certain degree of similarity with the Jin Dynasty's military supervision system, but the latter's power is very large, and at some point, he can even deprive the leading generals of the military power, while the former is only supervising and conveying information to the emperor at any time, and he himself does not have any actual authority, and Boha has no right to interfere with any decision of Hammerezi, of course, if he feels that Hammererqi is not doing well, he can immediately write to Aleppo and sue Hammererzi.

Regarding Hammererzi's attitude, Boha reacted well, just frowning slightly, in fact, he just treated Hammererzi like this, if it was someone else, it would not be necessarily, and it was also due to Hammererzi's own strength.

In general, it is divided into large and small governors, as well as military and political divisions, small governors, generally lead one state or even several states, and the big governor, then there is no upper limit, for example, now, large-scale civil unrest broke out in the Western Regions, and Aleppo sent his younger brother Basel, in the name of the governor of the Western Regions, to rule the entire sixty-three states of the Western Regions.

And the governor's power is also divided into two kinds, the integration of military and government, and the exclusive management of the military, the former, mastering local government affairs, with money in hand, will naturally become stronger and stronger for the control of the army, and the latter, although it is also in charge of the army, but there is no local financial support, the army's materials are all dependent on the upper level, once the supply of materials is cut off, then you can only rest the food, a general with no money, with him can't even eat, what else to talk about?

In the entire sixty-three states of the Western Regions, the pure Dashi army is only 100,000, although Hammereqi is only the governor of Xizhou, and there is only one state in his hands, but there are 20,000 troops, and they are also elite, accounting for one-fifth of the number of Dashi troops in the entire Western Regions, and he is in charge of all military and political affairs in Xizhou. Boha is just a small overseer, how dare he?

Boha bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Governor of Hammerazi, I did not mean to offend you, but... His Majesty the Emperor's order has been conveyed to you for more than ten days, six days ago, His Royal Highness Basel also sent a message to you, asking him to immediately lead the army to the hinterland of the Western Regions, so many days, you have not moved, I am anxious, the tone is inappropriate, please forgive me. ”

Hammer nodded and expressed understanding: "Boha, don't worry, the development of the situation is not as serious as you imagined, if we don't make a good military plan, we can only lose the battle." ”

Boha sighed, it's been so many days, and it hasn't been planned yet? Now, although the scale of the rebellion is huge, Basel has a good plan to control the rebellion situation in the eastern corner, at present, with Cheng, Hao, and Dos as the main force, about 200,000 rebels are attacking the strategic place in the central part of the Western Regions, Xiyue Kingdom, but Basel's military deployment has been in place, and 50,000 heavy troops have been deployed in the capital of Xiyue Kingdom, and they are defending to the death, and the rebels have besieged it for more than half a month, and they have not been able to achieve it for a long time, Basel is not in Xiyue Country, but leads 30,000 troops, and looks aside, He was ready to attack the rebels from the flank, but he only had 30,000 troops in his hands, and his strength was somewhat insufficient, so he did not dare to act rashly, and waited for the arrival of 10,000 elite cavalry of Hammererzi.

Hammereze is very annoyed now, or very contradictory, the rebellion in the Western Regions, it seems to be huge, in fact, it has not completely broken out, it is only limited to four or five countries, and the situation has not yet reached the point of getting out of control, so Hammerezi has time to delay, but it can't be delayed for too long, otherwise, even if the rebellion is suppressed afterwards, the emperor Aleppo will never spare him.

The main contradiction in Hammerezi now is that the Western Regions is now in civil strife, if he leads the army to leave, the defense of Xizhou will inevitably be empty, and Li Xun on the other side of the Mulang River will take the opportunity to knife him from behind?

Xizhou is the foundation of Hammerezi, if there is no Xizhou, even if the rebellion is suppressed, he will have nothing in the end, which is the fundamental reason for Hammererzi's delay in sending troops. 2k reading web
