Chapter 1220: Revenge (I)
The Wanliu Empire sent troops to deal with the Dongsheng Empire, and now that it is defeated, it is absolutely impossible, the reconnaissance plane has locked the defeated army of the Wanliu Empire, and now, less than 100,000 remnants of the defeated army are heading towards the coast through the Russell Empire, and it seems that they are planning to return to China by boat. Yuan Fang has not yet decided what kind of attitude to use to face the Russell Empire, so he has not made a move for the time being, just waiting for the defeated army of the Wanliu Empire to get on the ship and leave the harbor, waiting for them will be the ruthless artillery fire of the Dongsheng Empire's air force and navy.
On the twentieth day of the decisive battle, the imperial capital sent news that the Wanliu Empire, the Yuanhe Empire, the Qingwu Empire, the Wuxing Empire and the Russell Empire either sent envoys or were about to send envoys to prepare for peace talks with the Dongsheng Empire, the Ningyuan Empire and the Wen'an Empire.
On the same day, Yuan Fang ordered Tang Jian, Chang Xun, Chen Xin, and Shi Ping to form the main army of the Dongsheng Empire's Eastern Expedition, advance eastward, and attack the occupied areas of the Yuanhe Empire.
Yuan Fang's decision made the Wen'an Empire a little uneasy, but Dugu Zhen of the Empire had some understanding of Yuan Fang's thoughts and was very supportive.
The Wanliu Empire has withdrawn, the Liusang Empire has surrendered to Dongsheng and become a part of the Dongsheng Empire, even if the Yuanhe Empire is thick, it can't withstand the siege of the Three Kingdoms, uh, it's not a siege, but it's a frontal advance above board. There is no threat from the enemy's air force, the ground forces have no opponent at all, and the Yuan and Empire are retreating one after another, and before the army can open artillery to attack the city, the defenders are basically all scattered, and the artillery of the Dongsheng Empire has become a nightmare for all enemies.
At the beginning of the war, it took less than five days for Yuan Fang to hit the original imperial capital, which is equivalent to half of the territory of the Yuanhe Empire, but the remaining half of Yuan Fang took more than half a month, not because of how strong the resistance of the Yuanhe Empire was, the reason is very simple, there were no civilians in the previous Wanliu occupation area, only the soldiers of the Wanliu Empire and Liusang, so whether it was the air force or the army, they had no scruples about fighting, so the speed of the advance was fast, but the remaining half of the territory was not good, for the civilian people, Yuan Fang was merciful and did not want to hurt the innocent.
War is like this, it's not that the commander wants to do what the people below will be completely implemented according to the commander's ideas, when the war is fought, the soldiers can follow the commander's orders to attack in the designated direction, and the enemy fights to the death, but once the battle is over, the victorious side can not restrain all the soldiers even if the military discipline is strict, and the people in the war zone will inevitably be harassed and looted, these, Yuan Fang has long been psychologically prepared, several big battles, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he can understand it, but an order is an order, this time, Yuan Fang is serious, After beheading more than a dozen scum with serious circumstances in public, that kind of negative atmosphere was suppressed a lot, although it could not be compared with the Eighth Route Army's Gao Feng Liangjie who did not take a stitch from the people, but it was somewhat passable.
Compared with the army of the Dongsheng Empire, I would rather the Empire and the Liusang coalition army be slightly better, but the Wen'an Empire is a little unscrupulous, and there are complaints everywhere it passes, soldiers rob, kill people and harm women of good families are not uncommon, Yuan Fang learned of this incident and ordered the Wen'an Empire Front Army to strictly enforce military discipline, but the commander of the Wen'an Empire took Yuan Fang's words as a fart, and still made a lot of war money, he felt that everyone was an ally and had an equal status, why can you rob us can't, No matter how loud Yuan Fang's name is, he can't control his head.
Yuan Fang smiled, smiled very happily, he was worried that he couldn't find a suitable excuse to clean up the Wen'an Empire, now it's okay, don't bother to make excuses, this is the reason why he made a move. The army of the Wen'an Empire kept retreating, and in the end there was no way to retreat, and now they can see that this time, the Dongsheng Empire is serious, they don't want to take advantage, but plan to destroy the Yuanhe Empire.
The generals in the army, government officials, many people secretly sent people to contact Yuan Fang, expressing their willingness to take refuge in the Dongsheng Empire Yunyun, although Yuan Fang looked down on these people, but did not refuse their help, the fortieth day of the decisive battle, the last city controlled by the Yuan and Empire had civil strife, the imperial family and some powerful ministers unfortunately died in the rebellion, so far, the Yuan and Empire fell.
Three days later, the civil strife subsided, and the army of the Dongsheng Empire was warmly welcomed into the city and took over the defense, and the armies of Yuan Yuan and the Empire were disorganized and reorganized.
Officials of the Dongsheng Empire took over local government affairs, local security, finance and taxation, and soon, the occupied cities were restored to order again.
In order to appease the people, Yuan Fang, as the commander of the expedition, announced in public that the Yuanhe Empire no longer exists, all the land will be owned by the Dongsheng Empire, and the people will become the subjects of the Dongsheng Empire.
For ordinary people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor and who is the official, what they care about is food and clothing, the wealth and strength of the Dongsheng Empire They have more or less heard and seen with their own eyes, and most of the people are not disgusted or even a little excited to become a member of the Dongsheng Empire.
With the rapid expansion of the country, military and political officials were already stretched, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing discussed and decided to select local government officials. Think about it, the land area of the Yuanhe Empire is even broader than the Dongsheng Empire itself, how many people are needed to participate in the management, and most of these vacancies will be selected from the local area, which is definitely a once-in-a-century opportunity for those who have ideals and ambitions, and have real materials but have no way before.
Yuan Fang didn't understand these things, and he didn't want to get involved, so after dealing with the general matter, he teamed up with Dugu Zhen to find trouble with the Wen'an Empire, the reason was very simple, the army of the Wen'an Empire kept dissuading and wantonly persecuting the people of the Dongsheng Empire and plundering the property of the Dongsheng Empire.
When Liu Chengxiang of the Wen'an Empire received Yuan Fang's letter, and saw the above charges and a clear and complete list of victims and the murder process, Liu Chengxiang's face became ugly, especially Yuan Fang's explanation at the end of the letter, he persuaded several times at the beginning, but the commander of the Wen'an Empire's expeditionary force ignored his warning and still went his own way, causing irreparable losses to the Dongsheng Empire, and Yuan Fang hoped that Liu Chengxiang would give a reasonable explanation.
