"Barre, Manald, why did you two not obey our orders and let the army wantonly plunder the local civilians?, and deliberately delayed the march, and your forward troops have not yet reached the designated place, what should you be guilty of?" Dayan asked as he suppressed his anger and asked word by word, each word as if squeezed out of ice slag.

"General Dayan, the brothers fought hard to defeat the enemy, but they took the sheep and picked up some bargains, which is also a matter of justice, otherwise who would be willing to sell their lives? Barre, the commander of the Ninth Corps of the Pasha Kingdom, who was covered in oil and flesh, said nonchalantly, "As for the lack of fast marching, it is also caused by the fatigue of the brothers, which affects the speed of the march. ”

"Yes, General Dayan, you don't have to be angry, the brothers just fished up some orphaned property left by the fleeing Luzon, and did not do anything out of the ordinary, and the physical exertion in the early stage was too great, and the speed of the march was affected to a certain extent, so we immediately ordered to speed up the progress. The thin middle-aged man is Manald, the commander of the 14th Corps, and his attitude is better, but the implication is that Dayan picked up chicken feathers as an arrow.

"But do you know that the delay of the two of you may cause the Luzon army south of the Salween to escape, and can you afford to bear this responsibility?" Dayan hated to drag the two out and behead them immediately as an example, but he remembered the words of the marshal when he appointed himself as the commander of the whole army after the crossing, and he had to grit his teeth.

Barre is the cousin of Her Majesty the Queen and has a strong family foundation in the kingdom, while Manald is closely related to the kingdom's minister of state, Haig, and has considerable influence in the court. These two were originally extremely dissatisfied with Dayan's ascension to the position of general at a young age, and in addition, Kutuzov's consideration for cultivating Dayan, when the overall situation of the battle across the river had been decided, gave Dayan the authority to command the overall situation, which aroused a strong reaction from the older generation of generals in the army.

His teeth were gritted, and his face flashed with blue anger, "Then listen to the two of you, but Dayan misunderstands the two of you?" Although he was told by Kutuzov, Dayan, who was stimulated, still couldn't help but stop killing.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Manald had long heard that Dayan, a kid with a cold face, killed people without blinking, and few people in the poisonous army could compare, only to see him spitting a fierce light in his eyes, could it be that he insisted on killing chickens and monkeys regardless of his feelings? Manald couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to answer again, Manald hurriedly gave Esven, the commander of the Seventh Corps beside him, a special envoy, and motioned him to help round the field.

"General Dayan, the behavior of the two generals Barre and Manald is inappropriate, but it is also true that the troops are affected by fatigue and the progress of the march, and the two are also veterans in our army, please forgive me on the old faces of the two, what do you think?" Esvent is also a veteran general in the army, he is different from Barre and Manald, and he is from the Southern Military Region of the Pasha Kingdom with Dayan. The entire Pasha King [***] team is divided into three military regions: southern, central and northern, and Kutuzov started from scratch in the Southern Military District and played his own prestige, so the army of the Southern Military District Kutuzov is extremely admired, while the army of the Central and Northern Military Districts is much weaker in comparison, although he also admires Kutuzov's military achievements very much, but after all, it does not happen in his own team, and his influence is not so heavy, as for Dayan, he is just a newcomer who debuted, and naturally he is not in their eyes.

"Since General Esvent interceded, I will spare the two of you this time, although the death penalty is avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, come to someone! Drag the two out and give them twenty lashes each, and if they commit it again next time, they will not be spared!" Esvent is actually equivalent to Dayan's army elders, and the relationship is naturally not ordinary, and Dayan has not made up his mind to put the two to death, so he will let go of the donkey.

Just before the generals under the tent were stunned and could react, four wolf-like guards had already pounced in, dragging up the two people with pale faces, and in a blink of an eye, they heard the sound of crackling leather whips outside the camp gate, and the howl of the two ghosts and wolves.

Da Yang tidied up the things on the desk in a hurry, and walked out of the camp tent leisurely, leaving only a group of stunned generals in the tent, but no one thought that Da Yang would dare to really turn his face and deny people, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs.

Today is the official ceremony of the newly formed Third Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Milan, and the King of the Kingdom of Milan, Louis XI, personally attended and presided over the ceremony to show his attention to this army. When the inspected army dressed in splendid military uniforms, walking in neat steps, passed the rostrum in turn, all the rostrum and the surrounding Milan nobles were all excited, this is the first cavalry legion of the Milan Kingdom, how can it not make those noble merchants who are worried about the invasion of the barbaric western neighbors - the Macedhans all day long excited?

"It seems that the Milanese are really going to spend a lot of money to revitalize the army. The diplomat in the white dress turned sideways to another diplomat in a black tuxedo sitting next to him, and said, "I heard that His Majesty Louis XI said that he was still preparing to form a fourth legion, and I think the Milanese are really going crazy." ”

"It's not caused by the stimulation of the Maqi Khan and you Tanghe people, otherwise how could the Milanese, who have always valued the navy, suddenly form a cavalry corps at any cost, this is not a small amount. We are not rich in horses in the south, except for Macedhan. For the Milanese to assemble such a large cavalry army, all the horses they need must be imported from your Tang Empire, how much do you think this will cost? This is not counting the expenses for training and soldiers!" the tuxedo-clad diplomat said with a soft sigh.

"Huh, you say that you were stimulated by the Macedhan people, but what does it have to do with us Tanghe people?" The diplomat in the white dress was obviously from the Tang Empire, and he was very unimpressed by the words of the diplomat in the black tuxedo.

"The Macedhans invaded Jemero and Ankhun last year, and in one fell swoop incorporated them into their territory, and although they are not recognized by any country now, they are no longer really meaningful. Isn't it true that your Tang River Empire has turned a blind eye to this kind of banditry, and has turned a deaf ear to the strong appeal of the Milanese? In case the Macedhan suddenly raised troops to the east, the Milanese people could not sit idly by, although you Tanghe people and the Milanese had a good relationship, but if you were as stable as Mount Tai like last year, what would you do?" The black tuxedo was a middle-aged diplomat with a sneering look on his face.

The white-clothed diplomat's face flushed, and he argued forcefully: "Why didn't our empire come forward? Our foreign affairs department immediately came forward to coordinate, and also took sanctions against the Maqi Khans, and finally forced the Maqi Khans to sign the "Tang River Empire-Maqi Khanate Memorandum of Understanding." ”

"And what was the result? Jemero and Ankun were not yet occupied by the Mackhans, and I have heard that the Mackhans were going to merge the two into a province of the Mache Khanate. And the royal family members of the Kingdom of Jemero are not all imprisoned by the Maqi Khans, you Tanghe people have been negotiating for so long, why haven't you heard from them?" The middle-aged diplomat in a black tuxedo scoffed at the defense of the white-clothed diplomat.

"This, our empire's diplomatic departments are still working hard, but I see that your Grand Duchy of Mahad has not reacted at anything other than a statement. The diplomat in white sneered.

"If we in the Grand Duchy of Mahad had the strength of the Tang River Empire, we would never sit idly by, but unfortunately our strength is limited, and we have more than enough strength to do so. The black-clothed diplomat finally lowered his gaze and shook his head helplessly, "But I have heard that our Grand Duke also intends to strengthen its armaments, and it is said that the Duchy of Andaco also intends to do the same, I hope that the actions of the Milanese can wake up those sleeping nobles in our country." ”

The white-clad diplomat also fell silent, although he felt particularly harsh about the black-clad diplomat's words, but he also knew that most of what the other party said was true, and it was no wonder that his country's behavior did chill the small countries attached to it.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the missing princess of the Jemerlot Kingdom seems to have arrived in the Zhongzhou of your Tang River Empire, I wonder if there is such a thing?" The black-clothed diplomat's eyes suddenly fixed on the white-clothed diplomat's face after staring at the troops walking under the stage for a while, as if to see something.

"There is such a thing, I only came back from Yanjing a few days ago, and I have never heard of it. The white-clothed diplomat looked surprised, but he was thinking sharply in his heart, preparing to send this information back to China as quickly as possible.

The black-clothed diplomat saw that there was no clue from the white-clothed person, so he turned his gaze away and said lightly: "Is it? Maybe it's groundless, I also listened to what the Maqi Khan said." ”

The largest island outside the Great East Ocean, Silu Island, can not be called a city here, compared to any city on the mainland, even those cities on the Tengger grassland, it is far inferior, some wooden houses are scattered around a large courtyard, with this courtyard as the center, stretching out, but there is also some range, but it is somewhat similar to some large market towns on the mainland. The owner of the larger courtyard is the residence of the Tachihara Yamakawa, the lord of the castle of Isoban Castle and the head of the Tachihara tribe.

In the main living room in the middle of the courtyard, a lean middle-aged man sat with a straight body, kneeling, especially a pair of shining eyes, which looked majestic and extraordinary. Two middle-aged Mai men, one fat and one thin, were on their knees.

"So, the Milanese have now shifted their military focus to land?"

"Yes, my lord, as the threat of the Maqi Khans has increased, and the southeastern countries are worried that the Maqi Khans will move westward, so they are strengthening their armaments on land, but in contrast, the defense at sea has been relaxed. The thin man on the left replied respectfully with his forehead touching the ground.

"So, what about the precautions in the Ryukyu Islands, Kamchatka, and the Great Pearl Islands?" Tachihara Yamakawa was very concerned about the situation on several islands.

The Ryukyu Islands are the territory of the eastern waters of the Tang River Empire, consisting of more than a dozen large islands and nearly 100 small islands, the largest of which are Kashima, Ochong Island and Wansheng Island, which are the inherent territory of the empire and belong to the jurisdiction of the Tokai Prefecture Dengzhou Prefecture. There are more than 30,000 people living in the archipelago, most of whom make a living from fishing and pearl diving, while a small number depend on farming.

Kamchatka Island (part of Jinling Prefecture in Donghae County) was the second largest island in the sea of the Tang River Empire, second only to the largest island in terms of area - Baodao (part of Quanzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan County). Because the treasure island is rich in products, the population is nearly 200,000, and the geographical location is also extremely important, so there is an army of a division of the Seventh Army of the Empire, and Gaolong Port, the second largest military port of the Imperial Navy, where the second fleet of the Empire is stationed, so the mountains and rivers of Tachihara have not thought of attacking the idea of Treasure Island for the time being.

Kamchatka is located between Treasure Island and the Ryukyu Islands, half the distance from the mainland than Treasure Island and the Ryukyu Islands, and the population is only more than 20,000 people. There is no garrison on the island, only a detachment of less than 500 people of the Imperial Navy is stationed in the sea cucumber port in the middle of the island, which is famous for the abundance of sea cucumbers in the empire, and it is also a small military port in the empire. Sea cucumber port is about 100 miles away from Hailan Pao Town, the only market town on the island, and there is also a convenient road to connect it.

The Great Pearl Islands are actually composed of three archipelagos: the North Pearl Islands, the East Pearl Islands, and the South Pearl Islands, each of which is composed of dozens of islands, atolls and coral reefs. The Northern and Eastern Pearl Islands are both part of the Kingdom of Milan, while the South Pearl Islands are the territory of the Grand Duchy of Mahad. These three islands are not only very important in terms of geographical location, but also the throat of the Great South Sea leading to the Great East Ocean, and are extremely rich in products, such as fish, sea salt, pearls, precious stones, shellfish, coral, coconut fruits, etc., and many offshore islands have pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, which are the vacation resorts of the kings, high-ranking officials and nobles of various countries and their families, and are also a good place for many important meetings and negotiations between the countries of the Eastern Continent.

"Report to the lord, the defense of the Tang people has not changed much. As the center of gravity of the Milanese shifted to land, the defense of the northern and eastern Pearl Islands was relaxed, especially the eastern pearl islands. The morale of the navy is not as good as before, and it is said that the budget of their navy has also dropped greatly compared with last year, which is indeed a good opportunity for us. However'''''' "the obese man reported with his head on the ground, but in the end he had reservations."

"Needless to say, I know what you mean, I'm in my own hands. "The mountains and rivers of Tachihara describe the cold completion.

"The subordinates are talkative. The obese man was a little scared.

"I don't need to explain, I know your heart. Tachihara Yamakawa slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned for the two to leave.
