When Theodosius arrived at the dock under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, the majestic Aegean Fleet had just left the port.

The new Ningzi Fourth Army is lining up to board the ship. After three months of intensive training, coupled with the usual live-fire exercise of hundreds of rounds a week, this group of recruits has enough momentum.

Ten people in a row, 100 people in a column. One by one, the well-dressed men got on the troop carriers of the Aegean Fleet with the rumbling sound of walking in unison. They wore their daily training uniforms, carried dozens of pounds of improved three-quarter plate armor, and carried their own blankets, tents, five-day rations, tin cans for cooking and water, and so on. Therefore, they all carried guns, and their backpacks were taller than their heads.

"Such a mighty army?" Theodosius marveled deeply. She breathed a sigh of relief at the musket that was on her shoulders like a forest. It's clear what happened to Trabzon, but she wants revenge on her uncle David Komnen, who killed her father.

However, she didn't know, and the vast majority of foreigners didn't know, that the army usually didn't carry its own plate armor. Only when I go out for a show, I will carry this thing and put it out for people to see. The old Chijing people know it, but the foreigners in the dock area don't know so much.

Wang Chang was personally responsible for the attack on Trabzon. It was not very appropriate to leave the castle at a time when the turmoil in Constantinople was quietly floating, but after discussing it in the government hall, it was decided to take a little look at what the one in Constantinople was thinking.

The chief general who led the troops was called Zhu Neng. Of course, he is not a noble who died in Annam in the east, but a general who got up with real mud legs. It is also a wonderful flower among a large group of Confucian generals who can write and martial arts. This duke never reads, is illiterate, and cannot write his own name, but he is quite accurate in commanding operations. Always prides himself on being prescient.

Zhu Neng is the commander of the Xianning Army in the four armies, and his position as commander-in-chief this time is also a temporary title.

The most striking of this operation was obviously Vlad and Stefan, the chief and deputy commanders of the Shouning Army. As a former lord of the country and an exiled prince, joining the Han army as an official became a topic of conversation among the Chijing people. Many people believe that these two goods are relying on their previous status.

Vlad and Stefan deliberately traveled in their dresses this time. The big red flying fish suit is worn on the body, and the four-clawed python on it is churning, symbolizing the minions of the true dragon emperor.

In the past, there was a flying fish on the flying fish suit, which was an illusory image similar to a dragon, and then it slowly turned into a python.

The army boarded, and the Aegean Fleet immediately left Chikyo under the reluctant gaze of Theodosius.

Theodosius was taken to Sophia's room. Qin Cang's harem is very small, and it is the pattern of a small courtyard. Everyone's house is in a large yard, and if it weren't for the limited space, the children would probably have to be raised together.

Years of court life not only did not make Sophia more graceful, but more and more small and lovely.

This is also the reason why Qin Cang has always maintained a very small family. Compared with the guys outside who often have dozens of women in the house, Qin Cang's harem looks small and broken.

"I'm sorry for you. Come on, sit here and let me see. ”

Sophia pinched her niece's little face, her thoughts churning.

After looking at it for a long time, she sighed in a low voice.

"How...... What's wrong? Theodosius asked in a whisper. She looked at Sophia's simple and elegant clothes, and felt a little envious in her heart. But Sophia's low sigh made her heart flutter again.

"It's fine. I'm just a little sad. Originally, I wanted my second son to be the Grand Duke of Trabzon, but now it seems that I can only wait for your son. Sophia's low sigh sounded no less than a thunderclap in Theodosi's ears!

"Could it be....... Have you wanted to attack Trabzon for a long time? Who are we messing with? Do you have to bully us? The little girl cried angrily. How can anyone be so bullied?

This is probably because the Trabzon people have been in the mountains for a long time, and they are no longer enterprising.

In the culture of the Han people, there is such a saying. Mix a sea and Yu, more than three generations and the Han and Tang Dynasties, the sky and the polar earth, no concubines! Did you know that the Han Chinese were eager to conquer all the cultivable land they saw? Trabzon is one of the few fertile regions on the southern shore of the Black Sea. ”

Sophia's words gave Theodosius a new way of thinking.

I'm coming, I've seen this fertile land, I'm going to conquer it?

She didn't know that this was the pioneering vision that every emerging nation must have. Her ancestors had the same idea in mind to conquer the Mediterranean and conquer Mesopotamia.

......

Wang Chang and Zhu Neng's plan was simple.

Directly attack the lower area of Trabzon, and then push back in a wave to flatten the upper area of Trabzon, and then send troops to take over the fortresses and fortresses in various places.

Such a crude plan was clearly based on the strength of 20,000 flintlock muskeers.

After the bayonet base and the three-edged bayonet were equipped, the Forces nouvelles had eliminated most of the combat arms and opted for musketeers.

The smell of fireworks in Trabzon is a bit strong.

After the bloody bath of the royal palace, Comrade David Komnenos, with the help of Georgian emissaries, ran amok in Trabzon. He first took the Rios family, who had defected, to coerce other families to pay various ransoms to enrich the treasury; He also sent eunuchs to threaten the lower districts of Trabzon, especially the Han merchants, to hand over huge ransom money, and also ask them to hand over the method of making porcelain.

Such madness apparently caused unrest in Trabzon. In just five days, David Komnenos issued two conscription orders. He demanded that most of the Greeks in Pontus surrender their men and form a new army against the Ottomans.

And under Xu Wenda's money offensive, generals from all over Trabzon who wanted to rebel pressed their beating hearts one after another, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly King's army.

And September 1. On this simple day, the misty Trabzon waited for the great army of heavenly kings.

There is a confrontation between the upper and lower districts of Trabzon.

David Komnenos's army tried to impose a tax, but was driven back by the people of the lower districts. David Komnenos then listened to the Georgian envoys in the palace and taught them all sorts of tricks and tricks to amass money.

The eunuchs were confused. Huge ships at sea can be seen in the upper zone. The various rumbling sounds coming from the lower level between the blurs confuse them.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! Countless giant ships are coming to the sea! And countless armies! "The eunuch reports.

And David Komnen, of course, hurriedly shouted: "Hurry! Summons Georgian Emissary George! ”
