247th Quadruple Alliance (I)

Putting down the Mongolian information, Zhao Jiaren asked: "What happened to the south of Tianzhu?" ”

"Do the officials think that the affairs of Mongolia have been settled?" Zhao Qian asked puzzled. As a secretary and a student of state affairs, Zhao Qian is more concerned about Mongolian affairs.

Zhao Jiaren was not satisfied with his son's answer, he asked flatly, "Do you want to return to the army?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Qian felt that his father had inexplicably clicked on something in his heart.

Zhao Jiaren continued to ask: "Or do you think you haven't seen it, curious." Or something that touches you. So you want to see the details with your own eyes and feel like you can still keep up with the pace of the army? ”

Being told by his father like this, Zhao Qian immediately understood his mood at this time, and after a momentary psychological struggle, he felt that most of his curiosity had dissipated, and he replied, "I...... Less curious now. I'm going to continue with my current job. ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't talk nonsense, he continued to ask: "How is the southern part of Tianzhu, and how many troops can be mobilized over there." ”

"Official. More than 4,000 Sinhalese native armies have been formed. According to an official of the Sinhalese Domain, the local government is investigating the private soldiers of the local tycoons. The Imperial Court privately advised that the seafaring guilds should not be allowed to transport their tea and spices to the families who still wanted to maintain their strength there......"

Zhao Jiaren was thinking about the situation in the Sinhalese colony, and he hoped that these powerful people would be content, and it was not a smart move to continue to keep private soldiers meaninglessly.

Zhao Qian continued: "Luo Yiren, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, suggested that it is not recommended to let those private soldiers go to the south of Tianzhu. ”

Zhao Jiaren nodded slightly, and unconsciously responded, "Hmm." ”

Zhao Qian saw his father's such straightforward support, so he asked, "Official." Although I know that driving tigers and devouring wolves is an outsider, I think it is not wrong to use private soldiers now. ”

"Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. We use the power of the state, that's the system. What is the use of private soldiers? We have already used the Ministry of Governance to manage Sinhala, and then we use private soldiers, which means that we recognize that private soldiers are legal arms. Can you take that into account? ”

“…… But he felt that he could use it before banning private soldiers. I knew it wasn't right, but I couldn't help but think so. Zhao Qian said with some embarrassment.

"Well, it's good to know you're clever. So many seniors have repeatedly emphasized the need to follow the right path, thinking that the right path is the most efficient, are those people stupider than us? ”

Zhao Qian nodded again and again. At his age, he is completely able to distinguish between improvisation and crooked ways. When the work here was over, Zhao Qian couldn't help but ask him the question he was most concerned about, "The official family, Boyan and Hao Ren are both attacking Europa, and the Eastern European Division is also seizing the island and capturing southern Greece. Didn't the imperial court have any ideas? ”

"What do you think is the key to the Mediterranean?"

"Seize the Egyptian Canal." Zhao Qian replied decisively: "As long as the Egyptian Canal is in our hands, the Great Song Dynasty can enter and exit the Mediterranean Sea at will." ”

"It was not easy to take Egypt. After controlling the southern part of Tianzhu, the Great Song Dynasty was able to attack Egypt freely. Otherwise, the expedition of the labor division will become a crusade against the Mongols of Baghdad. Seize the southern part of Tianzhu, and there will be various outputs immediately. What do you get right away from taking Egypt now? So far, I haven't heard of any output in Europa that is worthy of the Great Song Dynasty's need to travel thousands of miles to fight. ”

"Official, I've always heard that there is a saying that it is for all generations. When the government opens up overseas, is it completely based on interests? ”

"Eternal planning, that is the ultimate goal of mankind, or the ultimate comfort. The seizure of land that is not at all a part of the Chinese cultural sphere is just a matter of maintaining one or two hundred years, at most two or three hundred years. How can it be called a universal plan. This kind of thing is driven by interests, and to regard this kind of interest as a plan for the world is to underestimate oneself. But remember, I drew the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. This one should be taken. ”

Zhao Qian thought of the latest map of the Great Song Dynasty, which already included almost the entire Fusang Continent. The vast Pacific Ocean has become the inner lake of the Great Song Dynasty, and he thinks that his father is really interesting. Tianzhu, which has a large population, can only be regarded as a colony because it 'has a different way of life from the Great Song Dynasty'. The wild Fusang Continent is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty because it is 'possible to educate'. This approach can be criticized as a matter of seeking the near and the far.

So Zhao Qian asked: "Official, is Da Song completely on the sidelines of Europa's current situation?" Regardless of this, now that Egypt has returned to Mongolian administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already asking what kind of person the new Egyptian governor is. As for the Yuan country, we have so much cooperation in the Yuan country. ”

"Whether it's Europa or the Yuan Kingdom, or the feudal guilds and daomen who are free from the system, or those landlords. He who deserves to perish will perish. There is no need to do anything in order to avoid perdition. ”

Listening to his father's cold voice, Zhao Qian felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan State, was inspecting the Yuan State soldiers equipped with new weapons, if he knew the opinion of the Zhao Guanjia, Hao Ren might really agree with such a cold attitude. The Yuan Guofu soldiers had 300 five-jin guns, and in addition to the artillery left behind in various cities, according to the establishment of six five-jin field guns of an artillery company of the Song army, the Yuanguo government soldiers formed 36 artillery companies.

A cavalry division has a total strength of about 10,000 and is equipped with six horse-drawn artillery batteries. Thirty-six artillery batteries could arm six divisions, or 60,000 cavalry. With the addition of the 12 newly formed infantry divisions in the plan, the future Yuan State will become a country with 180,000 standing armies.

After inspecting the arsenal, Hao Ren went to the Yuan Immigration Bureau again. The imitation of the Great Song Dynasty is also the inheritance of the Great Immigration Bureau of the United States in the 21st century. When Yan Chongnian, director of the immigration bureau, saw Hao Ren coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

Hao Ren asked eagerly, "How many people have come to Yuan Kingdom in the past month?" Originally, Hao Ren didn't pay much attention to this matter, but after a trip to Baghdad, Hao Ren learned that the Yuan Kingdom was quite attractive to the poor people of Mongolia.

"Back to the king, more than 8,000 people have arrived in the Yuan Kingdom in the past month."

"More than 8,000?" Hao Ren was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "What did you do with these people?" ”

Yan Chongnian replied respectfully: "I have been assigned to various farms, and let them manage the livestock with other Mongols." ”

Hao Ren soon left the immigration bureau and went straight to the Ministry of Agriculture. After entering the Ministry of Agriculture, Hao Ren directly asked the Ministry of Agriculture about the use of Mongolians. Minister of Agriculture Tang Boen introduced the care of the newly arrived Mongols, and Hao Ren frowned when he heard this. He allowed the poor Mongols to come here to let them work and let them quickly enter the farming and warfare system of the Yuan Kingdom. It's not that these people are specially asked to raise uncles.

When Tang Boen finished speaking, Hao Ren left the Ministry of Agriculture without saying a word. He was already wondering if it was time for Tom Byrne to get out. But after thinking about it, Hao Ren felt that he couldn't find a suitable candidate. At this time, he thought of the babies who were sent to study in the Great Song Dynasty. Hao Renzhen hoped that they would be able to finish their studies early and return to the Yuan Kingdom to serve. Those kids must be better than the likes of Tom Byrne.

Thinking of this, Hao Ren suddenly had an idea. This thought made Hao Ren feel very stunned. When he returned home, he thought carefully for a while, and finally wrote a telegram to Yang Congrong, director of the Eastern European Department of the Great Song Dynasty, asking if the combined forces of the Yuan State and the Great Song Dynasty had arrived in Italy to fight as planned. In addition, Hao Ren invited Yang Congrong, director of the Department of Eastern Europe, to visit Yuanguo.

This is not the first time that the Yuan Kingdom has fought side by side with the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides have had a very good cooperation before encircling and suppressing the Knights Hospitaller on Rhodes Island. In the campaign against Greece, the Song army had 3,000 Yuan troops in the column, which played a very key role in many battles. The 5,000 Yuan troops that came to the aid of Marshal Boyan did not act alone, and the Eastern European Affairs Department of the Song State also sent 300 Song troops to act together with the Yuan army as a military advisory group.

When Hao Ren received the telegram, the combined force composed of the army of more than 5,000 countries and the Song army advisory group had completed its training and set off by boat. Yang Congrong didn't know what Hao Ren wanted to do, but he was not opposed to going to the Yuan Kingdom to meet Hao Ren. Now that the situation in the Mediterranean is beginning to change drastically, according to intelligence, Bayan wants to establish the 'Western Roman Empire' in Italy after settling the states of northern Italy.

On January 17, 395, the Roman Emperor Theodosius I died. On his deathbed, he inherited the eastern and western parts of the empire with his two sons. The emperors of the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire were brothers, and now Boyan married a princess of the Eastern Roman Empire and gave birth to two sons. If the child who inherits the throne marries the great nobles of Eastern Rome, according to the current feudal blood inheritance law in Europe, the countries of Europa are not qualified to compare with Bryan with 'Roman orthodoxy'.

However, only after Boyan defeated the enemy, these so-called legal affairs have no meaning to talk about. Yang calmly thought that he could take advantage of Boyan's victory to seize the territory that the Eastern European Division was expected to occupy. This is when the cooperation between the Eastern European Division and the various military forces makes sense. So Yang Congrong, who was in Athens, sent a message back to Hao Ren that he was willing to go to the Yuan Kingdom. However, Yang Congrong hoped that the Yuan State could prepare more troops, and perhaps when it came time to convene a conference attended by the Yuan State, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Eastern European Division of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Eastern Roman Empire, these four forces would have reason to discuss the future situation in the Mediterranean and even Europa.

The combined forces of the Yuan and Song kingdoms, who participated in the Italian campaign, did not know that they were given greater responsibilities, and they disembarked with a lot of effort. Because of the existence of military backpacks, ordinary soldiers could climb down the rope ladder when they disembarked, enter the steamship that washed the beach, and then wade ashore. Italy also has a Mediterranean climate, with dry and hot summers and warm, humid winters. Even then, the fighters, who were half wet, were very unhappy. Some fighters don't want to do laundry, that's to take off their military pants. As a result, he accidentally scratched himself on the beach, and after going ashore, he covered the wound and called the medical officer.

In any case, on October 28, 332 of the Great Song Dynasty, more than 5,000 allied troops arrived at the camp of the Marshal Boyan.

Marshal Boyan met with the commander of the coalition forces, a Mongolian officer named Huang Jitai. As Marshal Boyan, the rank of this Yellow Rooster Brigade Commander cannot be compared with Marshal Boyan at all. But Marshal Boyan still greeted Brigade Commander Huang with a very reciprocal attitude.

After understanding the current situation, Brigade Commander Huang Jitai quickly put forward a battle plan. He had a total of five battalions under his command, and it was proposed that three be the main force, and the other two battalions should be left and right. Carry out a three-sided flanking attack on the coalition forces.

"Great Marshal, the last general asks the Grand Marshal to equip his reliable troops with 5,000 men and the left and right sides. Those troops must be firm and resolute, even if they are surrounded, they can also deal with it calmly. As for the commander, he commanded the army and the troops of the three battalions under my command to prove engagement. When the final general defeats the Italian northern coalition army head-on, the commander can chase and kill him. ”

As soon as Huang Ji Tai finished speaking in Mongolian, the deputy general of Boyan couldn't help but scold: "Which tribe are you from, you are not very old, and your tone is so big!" ”

It was the first time that Huang Jitai was accused like this, and he was stunned. He just did his duty, and ran thousands of miles with his comrades to help, how did he become so angry. Huang Jitai looked at the lieutenant general, and wondered whether to ask this guy rhetorically, 'If this person can defeat the Italian Northern Alliance, why should he ask Yuan Guo to send reinforcements'.

Without waiting for the contradiction to escalate, he heard Boyan ask: "Where is the success point of this plan?" ”

"I have sharp weapons. According to...... Summary of ...... According to the data, in the battle of cold weapons, the limit of the army's frontal casualties is one percent. ”

The deputy general was even more unhappy when he saw that Boyan Dashuai was so indulgent to such a kid as Huang Jitai. Listening to Huang Jitai talking eloquently here, the deputy general asked dissatisfiedly: "What is a frontal injury to Yicheng?" ”

"It's not frontal damage, but the limit of the army's frontal casualties is 10%. That means that the army is not encircled, but engaged completely head-on. If the army is engaged with more than 10% casualties, the army will collapse......"

"What do you mean by that?" The lieutenant was even angrier. The kid on the other side simply gave him three points of color to dare to open a dye shop.

Huang Jitai's patience was almost exhausted, he came here to fight, and after the battle, he went home early. He married his wife, who became pregnant. Although I won't be distracted by this incident, being able to go home early is the common desire of soldiers fighting abroad. A guy who doesn't even know the limits of the army's frontal casualties is still here blind BB, and this guy should be the one who should be shut up, right?

Marshal Boyan asked at this time: "Listen to you, your firearms can inflict more than 10% casualties on the Italian Northern Alliance?" ”

"We didn't have pikemen with us this time, so we need Marshal Boyan to help us with this. The reason for the three-sided attack was to keep the Italian northern coalition forces in force. Even if they adopt a policy of only fighting one way, they can also ensure that the other two roads can defeat them head-on, at least outside the coalition camp. As long as any of these options can hold out, the coalition forces will be under our control. ”

Without waiting for the lieutenant general to say anything, Boyan turned his head and glared at the lieutenant general. Looking at the gaze of Marshal Boyan, the adjutant general closed his already open mouth. Marshal Boyan faced Huang Jitai again and asked him, "What if the coalition forces can't hold out?" ”
