The Songjiang army made a big move, crossed the border and entered Ninghai County, which unsurprisingly caused an uproar in the imperial capital Zhongzhou.dt.com the hottest topic before, the war between the southwest and the Inca kingdom, was transferred in an instant.

With the urgent recital report to Zhongzhou, the civil and military officials, and the ordinary people of Zhongzhou began to discuss or angrily denounce the reckless Songjiang Army and the governor Chen Wu.

There are even officials who wrote a letter to attack the ministers who had previously made the decision to recruit peace, believing that it was their decision that connived and appeased the Taiping rebels, so that they caused today's disaster.

As for the Songjiang army's claim that they would leave after being invited by Ninghai County to enter the country and completely eliminate the threat of pirates, everyone knows that this is just a pretext.

Since it came, Ninghai County would most likely be annexed, and no one believed that the Songjiang Army would let go of the fat in the mouth.

For a time, there was a lot of clamor in the court about sending troops to suppress Chen Wu, the governor of Songjiang.

On top of Qianyuanji's imperial case, there were similar books, but after turning the book at will, Qianyuanji's wrinkled face only had a wry smile.

Dispatch troops?

If the Songjiang Army dared to do this ten years ago, the empire would have launched an army of 200,000 to crush it.

But now, what capital does the empire have to send troops?

You must know that among the twenty counties of the empire, at most, seven counties have broken away from the control.

Although not long ago, Chengguo Gongqian Taizhuo recovered Longxi in the southwest, and more than half of Tianshui was reincorporated into the empire, but after the riots of Wudou Midao, Longxi was already in ruins.

Not to mention being able to provide taxes and food for the empire, it would be nice not to be a burden to the empire in the next two or three years.

With the land of thirteen counties, and at the same time confronting the empires of the four directions, you have to support an army of seven or eight hundred thousand!

The two or three years of continuous wars have overwhelmed the empire's finances, and there have been shocking deficits.

Even if the empire had additional military strength, it would not have the financial resources to support a crusade against the southeast.

As for the Songjiang Army's blatant annexation of Ninghai, let them go...... As long as their hostile relationship with the Omanis remains unchanged and can act as a barrier for the empire in the southeast, the center will not do anything with the Songjiang army in the short term.

At present, the first target is still the southwest and the Inca kingdom; And then the finances of the empire!

Even if we don't take into account the possible resurgence of the Varsians and the Lena people to the north, the priority of solving Matsue is only the third priority.

Moreover, there is another concern that has to be mentioned, that is, my body...... The old emperor's face was cloudy, and after a moment he let out a long sigh.

……… A letter signed by Songjiang County and Ninghai Governor Jiafu arrived in Zhongzhou soon after.

Jiafu made it clear that he was worried that the empire would not have time to send troops, so after sending the first request for help, he immediately borrowed troops from the nearby Songjiang army.

This joint official document somewhat calmed the anger of some officials and the people, and also gave the imperial center a step to step down.

As expected, the center's reply was only a few sentences, and it gave a vague reply.

Songjiang Jun was not allowed to do this, but he was not held accountable, as if this trivial matter was insignificant.

All other relevant official documents and recitals were also left unpublished, and were forcibly suppressed by Qianyuanji.

This move is enough to show the center's attitude towards Ning Hai...... and helplessness and embarrassment.

As the position of the center came back, the faint resistance of the local forces in Ninghai County to the Songjiang Army disappeared in an instant.

The local gentry of Songjiang and Tiannan counties also realized the power of the Songjiang army for the first time.

Blatantly annexed a state and county of the empire, but the center can only sit idly by!

On this side of the Eastern Continent, I'm afraid that the sky is really going to change.

Chen Wu, who single-handedly led the strategy of Ninghai, was not surprised at all by this result.

received congratulations from the Lin family, celebrating the Songjiang Army's "extermination of the pirates"

Da Jie, he just looked at it casually, and returned his attention to Ninghai's internal affairs.

After a 10-day dragnet sweep, Hualien Province's military operation is nearing its end.

The city defense battalion and city guards in Hualien Province finally chose to liberate peacefully, and all of them laid down their arms and surrendered.

In this way, the Songjiang Army's Ninghai strategy can be called a successful completion.

Except for the more remote villages and towns that have not yet had time to take over, the entire three prefectures of Ninghai have all been brought under Songjiang's rule.

the implementation of administrative reforms similar to those of Songjiang Tiannan; appeased the Ninghai Master who had just taken refuge; and the reorganization of the Ninghai Garrison Brigade was immediately put on the agenda.

Chen Wu's henchmen and ministers finally straightened out the two counties of Songjiang and Tiannan, and then they were busy again.

After that, how to fully integrate Ninghai's military economy into the Songjiang-Tiannan system was also something that Chen Wu needed to consider.

It is to be expected that he will not have any free time until the end of the year.

……… Tianshui County, Hanchang Mansion.

After the land of Banjun in the east was recovered by the Empire, it became the front line of the battle between Wudou Midao and the Emperor.

If nothing else, a big war would break out here as early as midsummer.

However, the news that the 100,000 troops of the Inca Kingdom crossed the Yacques Zang River and openly stepped into Xichuan County made the old Cheng Guogong give up this battle and turn to strategic contraction on the spot to consolidate the territory of the previously recovered half of the county.

In the past few months, both sides have been accumulating strength to transport soldiers to Hanchang Mansion with food and grass, making this place an unprecedented battlefield.

On the side of Wudou Rice Road, there are still 100,000 Taoists with an old foundation.

In addition to receiving food and grass support from the Inca Kingdom, the number of newly raised troops reached 300,000 again.

Counting the 100,000 people of the Bangalore Regiment of the Inca Kingdom, the number has reached an unprecedented 500,000, which is extremely powerful, even surpassing the great battle in Wuwei County in the northwest two years ago!

On the east side of Hanchang Mansion, the empire's army was also not weak.

The troops of the Qinghe Army and Danyang Wuhu, totaling more than 150,000 people.

The total number of city guards reinforced by a large number was close to 150,000.

In addition, the Yingyang Legion formed by Chengguo Gongqian Taizhuo, although its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the old troops, it is also 100,000 people, a total of 400,000 troops!

It can be said that in addition to the army of Yanshan County in the north and the Praetorian Guard sitting in Zhongzhou, the east side of Hanchang already has half of the army!

If this imperial army is defeated, then the entire Qianyuan Empire will collapse in an instant.

500,000 rebels, 400,000 emperors**!

In terms of numbers, Doumidao regained the upper hand after gaining the support of the Inca dynasty.

It was precisely for this reason that Qiantaizhuo, who could not afford to lose, still did not dare to start a war lightly, although he knew that the opponent's 500,000-strong army had a lot of water.

The level of the Wudou Midao rebels, in the past battles, Qian Taizhuo already knew everything about it.

I never paid attention to the Daomin army, which claimed to be 300,000.

However, the Bangalore Legion of the Inca Kingdom was unfamiliar to the Empire, and the general of the unified army, Airy Savalli, was also known as a famous Inca general.

If only they could have a city guard...... No, even with the strength of the Qinghe Army, the battle of the emperor will be very difficult.

If only we could find a way to find out the true combat power of the 100,000-strong army of the Inca Kingdom.

However, urgency is urgency, and without a perfect grasp and opportunity, Qian Taizhuo did not dare to act at will.

The only good news is that although his 400,000 army is more than during the Northwest War, the distance between Tianshui County and Wuhu Zhongzhou is much closer than that of Weiwu County, and it is more than a thousand miles shorter.

Because of this, compared with two years ago, it is easier to transfer grain and grass this time.

"Hold on for another half a month...... No, wait another month. If the five bucket rice dao and the Incas on the opposite side can still calm down, they will find a way to take the initiative to test it. ”

Qian Taizhuo thought so, but he didn't know that a great opportunity was coming.

In fact, it wasn't just Qiantaizhuo who wanted to find out the true strength of the Bangalore Legion, but the top management of Wudou Midao also wanted to know.

After experiencing the previous defeat, Zhang Fa, who was still in Longquan Mansion in Baling County, as well as several Great Sacrifice Wine and Heavenly Masters, couldn't sit still.

As early as after the Inca Kingdom's army crossed the border, Zhang Fa made the decision to go to the front line to direct the battle and boost the morale of the army.

At this moment, he was in the city guard of Hanchang Mansion, discussing with Savalli, the general of the Unca Kingdom, about taking the initiative to send troops.

In all fairness, although the pressure on Qian Taizhuo is great, the pressure on Zhang Fa is even greater.

With a territory of more than three counties, it has raised an army of 500,000, which has exceeded the limit of reckless military force.

If it weren't for the grain and grass imported from the Inca Kingdom, I was afraid that the army and people in the territory would starve to death in pieces.

Rao has foreign aid, and this kind of support is not unlimited, and it will need to be repaid twice in the future.

Moreover, Zhang Fa also needed a big victory to boost his low morale due to the hunger caused by the previous defeat.

Seeing that Qian Taizhuo seemed to be very calm and couldn't hold out, Zhang Fa decided to take the initiative to test the reality of the emperor's defense line.

It just so happened that the news that the Songjiang Army had openly sent troops to annex Ninghai came, and Zhang Fa felt that this was an opportunity, so he had this scene of discussing with Savali.

However, Zhang Fa's previous considerations were obviously superfluous.

Savali had been in the empire with a large army for so long, and apart from a few petty temptations, he had barely established any decent feats.

In order to give an explanation to His Majesty, the emperor of the Inca Kingdom, when Zhang Fa was still trying around the bush in this attack, Savalli had already taken the initiative to speak and asked his subordinates to undertake the task of attacking.

The two sides hit it off and quickly drew up a battle plan.

After the investigation of Wudou Midao, the final breakthrough was selected on the southwest side of the emperor's defense line, an inconspicuous town called Dongquan Town.

This is the garrison of the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Emperor Eagle Yang Regiment.

The reason why this place was chosen as the breakthrough point is because the Eagle Yang Legion is the least senior one among the major parts of the emperor, and the other factor is that after breaking through from here, it only needs to be inserted diagonally to the northeast for 30 kilometers, which can threaten an important grain route of the emperor.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, Savalli committed a whole 10,000 people.

The elite of 10,000 Bangalore, with secret weapons, attacked a town guarded by 4,000 people, no matter what, it should be a sure victory, right?
