Chapter 214 Mobilization
The mobilization order has been issued, and private troops from all over Tianzhu are also converging in a steady stream to Mengzhou.
The Feixiong Army from the Heavenly Side, the Panshi Army under the command of Jiang Guohou, and even the governors as far as the Eastern Yanzhou had to set off in time, crossing the vast Atlantic Ocean, and leading their troops to help the mainland.
During this period, the actions of the distant Southern Yanzhou Kaecheng Territory will naturally be affected, and they must be restrained and be careful of the provocations of the countries of Europa.
However, what makes Li Zhe feel interesting is that Billy Hellington, the nearest Europa colony to Kaesong, the governor of Sweden, and the son-in-law of the King of Sweden, Billy Helington, has also become a shareholder of Kaesong Mining.
He lobbied Ma Zhong, the temporary governor of Kaesong, that his Walvis Bay area could be used as a guard post in the north of Kaesong, and that he would immediately notify Kaesong if there was any unusual movement in the north.
He exchanged this "sacrifice" for the dry shares of Kaesong Mining worth 50,000 gold coins.
This guy now claims to be the major shareholder of Kaesong Mining, and he is even more conscientious about the safety of Kaesong than the Song people.
He even took the initiative to open a pigeon station in his Walvis Bay area, turning his Walvis Bay Territory into an outpost of the Kaesong Territory.
It's gold!
Even the ghost will be fascinated by its charm.
In this way, it is the northern Yanzhou, and the situation is more tense than the southern Yanzhou, if the Tianfang Hou draws the garrison of the Nile Delta on a large scale.
The Feixiong army of the Qin family of the Heavenly Marquis is encircling and suppressing the alliance of various tribes huddled in the upper reaches of the Nile, with the aim of occupying all of Egypt. Create a safe operating environment for the opening of the Yihe Canal in the future.
Of course, in this way, the Feixiong army of the Qin family of the Marquis of Heaven would face the threat of military power from the Eastern Roman Empire, Spain, Sardinia, Sicily, and the city-states of the Italian peninsula from the Mediterranean direction.
Although Li Zhe does not look down on the scattered Europeans of this era, if these guys give up their internal strife and reach an agreement, then the threat to Egypt is not ordinary, isn't it?
"In that case, don't Feixiong Army come, you, just go back to Qinhou, just say that I said it, we understand his intentions, but now, as long as he can stabilize the situation in Yanzhou in the north, he will do his best for Tianzhu, and there is no need to specially send troops to participate in this expedition."
The staff officers of the Governor's Mansion below immediately said yes, and quickly memorized Li Zhe's meaning, and then formed an order to send it to the Communications Division, and then the Communications Department borrowed the huge military communication system covering the entire territory of Tianzhu to relay the order.
Although there was no telephone or telegraph in this era, there was also a communication system that was characteristic of the times.
It's just that this kind of system is still too expensive after all!
The Communications Division of the Governor's Mansion is almost the largest department in the Tianzhu military system, with a large number of personnel and a lot of cost, they cover every inch of Tianzhu's land, and even within enemy countries and friendly countries, there are also stations of the Communications Division. This method is almost the ultimate combination of carrier pigeons, horses and manpower, but it is not very efficient.
It would be nice if there was a wireless telegraphy.
If Li Zhe has this kind of artifact in his hand now, he can increase the efficiency of Tianzhu's national operation by half and increase the country's annual income by two or three percent this year in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, this kind of artifact is used in war, which can be called clairvoyance and ears, and it can be said that it can change the mode of war in today's era. Those who have not returned to this era cannot imagine the extreme thirst for new means of communication in this era. Especially in the Great Song Dynasty, or a country with a super large territory like Tianzhu.
It can be said that communication and transportation are the real obstacles that hinder the progress of this era.
Li Zhe has a deep understanding of this.
He was working on an electromagnetism project at the Academy, and he was still a long way from discovering the properties of electromagnetic waves, and by studying the principles thereof, he was still far from inventing the telegraph. Don't think about it for at least a few years, as soon as you think of this Li Zhe, you are anxious.
…………………………………………
In the northern part of Tianzhu, near the foot of the Himalayas, the city of Jiang Guohou's territory, in the lord's mansion, the current Jiang Guohou Qi Chang had just finished reading the mobilization order sent by Mengzhou and closed his eyes and pondered.
Next to him, Qi Chang's second son Qi Ming looked at his father in surprise after reading the mobilization order.
"It's coming, it's coming, the opportunity is coming, father, that Li Zhe's selfishness is inflated, and he actually wants to cross the sea to make an expedition to Manraka, which is really self-defeating. Isn't this our chance to come? ”
Qi Chang opened his eyes, looked at his happy son, and shook his head again and again
"Humph! Shut up, what an opportunity has come, full of nonsense. ”
Qi Ming stood up and replied as if stubborn:
"Daddy! You really don't know that since the death of your eldest brother, you have hated this Li Zhe very much. Do you still have to obey his call? Don't forget, my eldest brother died at the hands of this man. ”
Qi Chang raised his head and looked at his second son, the current prince of Jiang Guohou, and said angrily:
"Don't mention that incident again, your eldest brother is to blame for that incident."
"What, Daddy! How can you say that? ”
"It's my eldest brother that he really offended that Li Zhe, he Li Zhe can be punished a little, why not kill people on the spot, he obviously looks down on me Jiang Guo."
Qi Chang:
"Shut up! This kind of thing is something you can say, and that Li Zhe, as the governor of the capital, really looks down on me Jiang Guo, what can he do, does this give you a reason to disobey the call? ”
Qi Chang said that he stood up at this time, and it seemed that he was going to hate and slap his son, but his palm was raised, and he couldn't help but let go of his son's stubborn eyes:
"Hey, you, you! It's really stupid, I can't see it, the more this is the case, the more we can't stand up and disobey the call, otherwise, with the current strength of the imperial court, it will be a catastrophe for the extermination of the clan in an instant! ”
