King Zhang Anguo got up early in the morning and received three good news, the first of which was that the imperial army had conquered the city of Baoding and marched side by side with the Great Song army towards the city of Zhuozhou.

Hehe, the gang of the Great Song Dynasty finally made up their minds, and they made a bloody investment at one time.

They sent 50,000 so-called elite soldiers and 10,000 so-called elite cavalry to unite with two divisions of the Imperial Army to act in two directions.

King Zhang Anguo understood that there was a reason why the Great Song Dynasty was in a hurry to make a move.

First, the young officials of the Great Song Dynasty may be worried that the imperial army will have too much merit, and they are afraid that in the future, some people will criticize the Great Song Dynasty for winning the Sixteenth without a fight; The second is that this so-called elite army was actually put together, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty took the opportunity to gather all the military power of the envoys in various places in the name of war!

Taking the Lü military group as an example, the army they cultivated in the Xiangfan area was basically exhausted, and they became one of the main forces of 50,000 elite soldiers.

The rest of the elite soldiers were drawn from the east and southeast...... The same is true of the so-called elite cavalry.

Therefore, this group of elite soldiers is actually a team with a chaotic source.

In order to suppress this team, the Great Song Dynasty official promoted the former commander of the firearms army to be the commander of the Northern Army, and personally gave Shang Fang a sword, which could kill any general who did not obey his orders without reporting, and ordered him to bring 2,000 firearms to serve as the supervising military camp.

In addition to supervising the military camp, the military position of the commander and the gift of Shang Fangjian have never been seen since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

As early as 1250, Liu Huang, a student of Tai, wrote a book, denouncing Chen Yuan, who served the imperial history, and Cai Rong as a traitor, and asked Song Lizong to expel them from the court as soon as possible, otherwise although he borrowed Shang Fang's sword to sharpen his head, how could he save it from state affairs? !

Shang Fangjian is actually basically used in administration, and it is used in military affairs, which is really the first time, which shows that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are really fighting, and they also have great trust in Fa Ke.

King Zhang Anguo was not at all worried that the Great Song army would become the pig teammates of the imperial army, because they had already made corresponding plans.

If the Great Song army did not participate in the war, they would fight according to their own fighting style; If you go to war, you will play according to your own style of play...... Nor will they join forces all the way.

You fight yours, I fight mine, and it will always be two ways of fighting.

The second is that the marines have completed the landing mission in the Haihe area, and Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng is safe and sound.

The next battle situation has to wait for the next batch of reports, and King Zhang Anguo still has some faint worries in his heart.

The process of war has always been a process of accidents, no matter how big or small the strength is, no one dares to say that it is completely possible to get out of the whole body!

However, his son has already arrived at the battlefield...... It's too late to worry about something going wrong.

King Zhang Anguo focused all his attention on the third piece of good news, which was a message from the Tianzhu region.

Wu Dapeng left all his wives and children on Liuqiu Island, and when he left, he said that after the Tianzhu area was completely turned into a colony of the Federal Empire, he would take them to Tianzhu for a few more years.

Wu Dapeng hurried back to the Tianzhu area with a part of the selected military personnel and their necessary military supplies, and he wanted to form several regularized Tianzhu divisions within a year.

Within two years, we will start a war against the Ilkhanate, open up a semi-arc connection with the Federal Empire and the Great Song Army, and then form a group to sweep away the chaotic forces in Central Asia one by one!

In Wu Dapeng's good news, he had already formed two model army divisions with the Imperial Army stationed in the Marbury area as the core.

Wu Dapeng proudly said in the letter that if he was given some more time, he would only need to beg the island to provide the firing gunpowder and its corresponding explosives.

He had already built a large military factory in the Marbury area, and trained a group of craftsmen who could craft flintlock pistols and cast bronze cannons.

Wu Dapeng believes that they can also deploy in the Middle East in advance.

At present, the Mamluk Empire is in the midst of internal and external troubles.

The Mamluk god of war, Bibers, had died of illness in 1277.

In the third year, Merek Mansur Saifuddin al-Gaerawin deposed the younger son of Baibers, Seramish, and usurped the throne.

Both Gelawin and Baibers were actually Turkic slaves of the Kipchak Khanate, so they did not believe in the destiny of heaven and only admired strength.

In the fourth year, the second Great Khan of the Ilkhanate, Abbah, son of Hulegu, wanted to take the initiative to attack Syria soon after he became king, and both sides made extensive use of weapons such as flintlock pistols and bronze cannons...... As a result, the defending city of Gallavin had the upper hand and defeated the invading enemy in the place of Homs.

However, this thermal weapons war in the Middle East has seriously weakened the strength of both sides.

The Ilkhanate of Abaha was unable to attack southward, nor was the Mamluk king Gelawin capable of clearing out the crusaders in the important cities of Antartus, Beirut, Merqab, and Tripoli in the Lebanese region.

Because the crusaders in those cities were all equipped with thermal weapons! ]

At the beginning of the war with the Ilkhanate, King Gaylavin was so annoyed that he mistakenly believed that the Great Shang Empire of the East had supplied weapons to the Tatar bandits...... Later it became known that the Ilkhanate's thermal weapons were obtained from an empire called the Great Yuan.

And the Crusaders' hot weapons were obtained from the arms dealers running around!

King Gaelaween inherited the diplomatic achievements of the god of war, Bibers, and he still maintained commercial relations with the great merchant federation empires in the east, and tried to obtain as many hot weapons as he could from them.

Others such as the Kipchak Khanate, the Byzantine Empire, the Republic of Genoa, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Sicily, and even further afield the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland all had friendly relations.

Substantial support for commercial activity in the Cairo region resulted in the purchase of thermal weapons from the Federal Empire on the one hand, and the repair and armament of citadels in Aleppo, Baalbek and Damascus on the other.

Construction of large hospitals and large trading markets in the Cairo region.

In short, at this time in the Middle East, the Mamluk Empire and the Ilkhanid Empire were dominant, the Byzantine Empire was slightly weaker, and the Crusader forces were mainly entrenched in Lebanon...... They are maintaining a terrifying balance.

Baghdad, once known as a world-class city, has become a deserted city infested with wolves and foxes.

Wu Dapeng still triumphantly said that he had already sent people to sell arms to the crusaders in Lebanon...... Of course, it was not transported from the Tianzhu region, but by the hand of the arms merchant named Li Ao, or in the name of William Wallace, King of Scotland.

Interestingly, in the Middle East, which is relatively small in the region and ethnologically and religiously complex, three different styles of thermal weapons have appeared in a big way!

Saracens, Greeks, Turks, Tatars, Syrians, Armenians, Georgians, Bedouins, Jews; Muslims, Christians, Orthodox, Nestorians, Maronians, Jews; thieves, assassins, traffickers, and other traders...... These people or forces with different labels fight each other at every turn, which makes people die of headaches.

In his letter, Wu Dapeng said sincerely: "Drive those Tatar robbers there...... Otherwise, we wouldn't have figured out the situation there for hundreds of years!

We don't want to be accused of massacre, and we don't want to leave a mess for our children and grandchildren. ”
