dt.com due to the rise of the Hualien Prefecture salt works and the Songjiang Army's investment in Quanzhou Port, on the one hand, the channel was cleaned up and the silt was excavated, and on the other hand, a large amount of money was invested in the naval division to repair the warships of the Ninghai Division, and new ships were ordered.

For a while, Ninghai County was also a little more angry, which made the people of Sanfu feel a little more identified with the ruling Songjiang Army.

The thriving situation of the three counties is in stark contrast to the twilight of the empire's rivers.

According to the statistics of the Finance Bureau, since the time entered the mainland calendar in 674, the influence of the three counties of Songjiang has expanded.

As a result, there has been a marked increase in external investment and businessmen from surrounding states and counties.

If this trend continues, Dengzhou, which already has an important position in the southeast of the empire, is very likely to become the economic and cultural core of the southeast of the empire.

Chen Wu's ability to govern, as well as the rapid development of the three counties of Songjiang in recent months, made the center of the empire secretly frightened.

Before this, the only thing they were afraid of Chen Wu was that they were good at seizing opportunities to fight, and they seemed to have a set of rules, and they could defeat the strong with the weak.

But no matter how much it can fight, it is nothing more than tens of thousands of troops.

The million-strong army of the empire will not be afraid at all.

But a strongman who can fight wars and know how to govern local areas and develop people's livelihood is far more terrifying than the former by ten times, which is enough to be called a big trouble for the empire.

In case, if he is allowed to take a firm foundation in the three counties, he will also recover the Tiannan Army by the way...... In that situation, the ministers of the central center and the aging Qianyuanji did not dare to think about it, nor did they want to think about it.

However, the only reason that can still make them feel at ease, and even continue to let the three counties of Songjiang become bigger, is the empire's great enemy in the southeast, the Kingdom of Oman.

As the three counties of Songjiang become bigger, they will inevitably be unwilling to become vassals of the Omanis, and then confront this powerful enemy country.

This is the Empire's strategy to drive away the wolf!

In fact, with Saladin, an ambitious and heroic figure who wants to enter the Central Plains, there is no need for the empire to "drive away"

, they themselves already can't sit still.

At the end of February in the year 674 of the continental calendar.

Just a week after the Spring Festival, the military intelligence office in Songjiang received a series of information.

With the assistance of Nguyen Sai Minh of the Hue Dynasty, the military intelligence department in Song Giang has made a qualitative improvement in the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Omanis.

Soon, after careful screening, important information was sent to the military headquarters and Chen Wu's desk.

"More than a year ago, the castle of Koy, which had been heavily damaged by 800 cavalrymen, had been largely restored recently. About ten days ago, more than 150,000 troops marched into the city one after another, and were frantically hoarding grain and grass and military supplies. ”

"General Yan Huahui appeared on the front line of Koi Castle five days ago, which is suspected to be a signal for a large-scale northern expedition."

"According to the investigation, the Omani black-clad guards seem to be planning a big plan, the details of which are not yet known. However, according to the information sent back by the Black Shark Regiment from other Haikou channels, the Black-clothed Guards may have secretly made contact with the remnants of the Haikou who escaped from the last encirclement and suppression, and plotted against them. The Military Intelligence Department is stepping up its investigation and handling the case, and it is also hoped that the localities in the three counties will be on increased alert. ”

A summary of news shows that the Omanis can't swallow this breath after suffering a big loss more than a year ago, and they have made up their minds to make a comeback.

Fortunately, it's not all bad news.

In the end, Chen Wu received a preliminary verified, but unclear details, that the Omanis were angry with the tribes in the desert in the desert in the western part of their hinterland because of a newly discovered gold vein, and they were retaliated against by at least a few thousand people.

With this in mind, it is difficult for the Omanis to concentrate their efforts on moving north.

In addition to the losses in the last great battle, the troops were not fully recovered, and the number of Omanis should not exceed 300,000 this time.

It was still a very staggering number, roughly two to three times the number of troops that Chen Wu could now use.

For Chen Wu, this unprecedented war was undoubtedly of decisive significance.

In the last war, the main force was the more than 100,000 troops of the empire's Tiannan Army.

He can sit in the rear and wait for both sides to fight and then enter the battlefield at the right time.

But this time, the Tiannan Corps was left with only three reorganized divisions.

Although he still serves as half of the main force, the other half is the descendant of his Songjiang Army, and he must go into battle shirtless.

If you can win the battle, you can completely stabilize the situation of the three southeastern counties.

The next step, whether it is a counterattack against the Omanis or a border to capture more imperial territories, can be calmly chosen.

If he fails to win the battle and let the Omanis fight into the Nanfeng fortress again, it will be difficult to say where Chen Wu is.

Even if the Omanis are driven away by relying on the depth in the end, the efforts and economic development of the Songjiang Army since it entered the three counties will be in vain, and the confidence of all forces and people under the rule of the world in the Songjiang Army will also be greatly reduced.

For Chen Wu, who has greater ambitions, the lost time to rebuild and the missed golden opportunity period for the next few years are even more unbearable.

Therefore, he must win this second Tiannan War, and there is no way out!

As the preparations for the military headquarters and the War Readiness Administration began, the Songjiang Army, an increasingly large fighter plane, began to operate at a rapid pace.

First, a large number of grain, grass, ordnance, wounded medicine, etc. were transported to Nanfeng Fortress, and then, the two main divisions of the Songjiang Army and the four newly formed divisions also went south one after another and drove to the Nanfeng Fortress.

The cross-county movement of nearly 80,000 troops is really a very huge project.

Not only did it keep the military department responsible for coordinating and commanding busy, but the indirect impact caused a sensation throughout Songjiang.

People who are a little more well-informed know that Tiannan is only afraid that there will be another war.

Fortunately, the discussion was discussed, and the people were somewhat uneasy, but the local area did not fall into turmoil and chaos because of this.

First, the government took timely measures, and second, the garrisons in Dengzhou, Tianlong, and Ninghai were still there, and the previous police stations had also been quite effective in cracking down law and order in various localities, so public order was not a problem.

Coupled with the deep resentment of the imperial people against the Kingdom of Oman, and the positive propaganda of the "Songjiang Official Daily", the three counties of Songjiang can be called the same enemy for this war.

Among them, especially the Nanfeng Mansion in Tiannan County is the most.

They had suffered the loss of the Omanis just over a year ago, and their hatred was unforgettable, and they were extremely supportive of the actions of the Songjiang army.

The so-called popular support is available, and the War Readiness Administration took this opportunity to recruit a group of recruits in Nanfeng Province and began preliminary training.

Prepare to put these recruits into the battlefield in the event of a stalemate in wartime to replenish battle damage.

It took almost a month before and after, the six master regiments were all in place, and the Songjiang army completed all the preparations in advance.

The three most elite Tiannan Army divisions, which were also the most familiar with the tactics of the Omanis, were still deployed in the area of Yushan Battlements.

This is the most open and important section of the entire South Peak Fortress, where the last Omani army launched its main attack.

The 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the Songjiang Army sat on the defensive line of the Jianhuangling and Chunshan sections respectively.

These two sections are also the breakthrough points that the Omanis have made in the last war, and they have to be guarded against.

The newly formed 4th and 5th Divisions were placed in the areas previously demolished by the Omanis, as well as the remaining sections of the defensive line.

The rebuilt defensive line has been repeatedly strengthened in the past year or so.

As long as the Omanis are not stupid, they should not choose this place as a breakthrough.

The Third Heavy Infantry Division under the command of Xu Shizhong was held by Chen Wu as a reserve.

As for the only mixed cavalry division among the four new divisions, because it was not yet full, and the cavalry was of little use in defending the city, no task was arranged, but another appointment was made.

By the time the various units of the Songjiang Army were already in place, the Omanis had reached a point where there was no need to disguise and could not be disguised.

Only two days later than the preparations of the Matsue army, the 230,000-strong army set out from Koi Castle and marched towards the fortress of Nanfeng.

Five days later, an army of 65,000 men would arrive from the Waranga side.

A total of nearly 300,000 troops marching north!

An army of hundreds of thousands spread all over the mountains and fields, and the banners were spread for more than ten miles, and their might was enough to chill the hearts of any enemy.

On the Songjiang side, the only ones who can really keep their faces unchanged are the First Division that had fought with the Omanis and the three divisions of the Tiannan Army.

The other newly formed divisions were more or less frightened, even if they had a strong pass that was difficult to overcome.

"Victory for the Kingdom of Oman!"

As Saladin's chariot appeared in the battle and marched again, the Omani soldiers were so excited that they shouted loudly.

The sound spread from the middle army formation to the two wings, and it was heard more than ten miles away, like a monstrous tsunami that lasted for a long time.

Before the battle, these Omani elite soldiers had already overwhelmed the Songjiang army in morale.

Compared with these armies that Saladin single-handedly formed to conquer the south and the north, the Songjiang army, which was too short, still lacked the foundation and the confidence to win.

There may have been something else in the battle of the past, but now when they face hundreds of thousands of troops head-on, it is undoubtedly highlighted.

In this regard, Chen Wu did not have a very good way, and the only thing that could change this status quo was a victory.

Winning the victory of this unprecedented scale of the war, the Songjiang Army will truly have its own military soul and usher in another baptism and transformation!

April 3rd!

The reorganized 3rd Division of the Valanga Corps, with the ambition of avenging the 6,000 captured comrades, launched a tentative attack on the Songjiang Army under the Yushan Battlements.

The Second Tiannan War broke out!

When the news spread, not only the surrounding countries, but also the emperor, who was constantly recovering from city to city, all paid attention to the southwest for a short time.

Everyone knows that the outcome of this battle is very likely to determine the pattern of the Eastern Continent in the next five or even ten years.

The Empire certainly didn't want the Omanis to easily break through the Nanfeng fortress and drive straight in, but it also didn't want the Songjiang army to be too light to repel the Omanis, even though it might be small in the center.

What they hope for most is undoubtedly that the two sides will fight in front of the South Peak Fortress, and in the end both sides will lose.

But will the situation really turn out the way the empire hopes?
