Chapter 595: The Situation in Various Countries Continued
Those small countries knew why the Luo Tian Great Power wanted them to exist, and even for many years, there were many countries that had tried their best to get involved with the Luo Tian Great Power in order to get the assistance of the Luo Tian Great Power, and it didn't matter if they even included their national territory in the Luo Tian Great Power, but unfortunately the Luo Tian Great Power was not interested in these poor countries.
Now as long as the Luo Tian Great Power issues a few summons in the name of the above country, the small countries that have long been dissatisfied with the Luo Tian Great Power can still only surrender one by one, and no country will dare to choose to resist. Because once they resisted, they would have to face the wrath of the Luo Tian Great Power, unlike the impact of those beast troubles, once the Luo Tian Great Power was angry, it would not be surprising that all of them would be destroyed.
In his lifetime, presumably no lord wants to face this situation, of course, there is no place does not mean that there is no other place, so in a year, there have been two imperial powers in the hands of the Luo Tian Great Power, and they are both medium and large principalities, with a land area of three or five night kingdoms.
At the beginning, the two countries naturally relied on some capital, thinking that they could negotiate some conditions with Luo Tianguo, but as soon as Luo Tianda's army arrived, they didn't even surrender halfway, and Luo Tianda ruthlessly eradicated all the royal personnel, and the princes of their country didn't even dare to say a word at that time.
Under such a brutal conquest, few countries still dare to resist the Luotian power, because they are afraid of the power of the Luotian power, some small countries dare not unite, and do not dare to form a powerful alliance like the southern countries of the Daqi Principality.
Now to the east, it has reached the territory of the Night Country, and to the south, it has reached the border of the Northern Wilderness Great Power, and a large number of troops with the banner of the Luo Tian Great Power have been stationed on the southern border, and the army composed of this army has the army of the Luo Tian Great Power and the armies of other small countries, but now they are all under the command of the Luo Tian Great Power, because the strategy of the Luo Tian Great Power to expand its territory is very different from that of the Qingyuan Great Power.
As long as it is a country that is subject to the great power of Luotian, not only will the land be added to the territory of the great country of Luotian, but the original name of the country will also be changed, and the position of the original lord will naturally no longer exist, and the monarch will all be reduced to fiefdoms, and all the household registrations of the country will be changed.
In less than a year, the Luo Tian Great Power has doubled its territory in the true sense, and it can be said that among the five major principalities in the southern part of the Northern Wilderness Mountain Range, the territory of the Luo Tian Great Power is the largest, and the strength is naturally the strongest, of course, the final result can not be determined for the time being.
Compared with the arrogance of Luo Tian's great power, the emergence of some large-scale bandit organizations also added a bright touch to the chaotic situation.
After many countries lost their military strength, the problem of banditry in various places became more and more serious, and it gradually became a large-scale bandit organization, and its overall strength exceeded imagination, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a legion. What those bandits have to do every day is to go to all kinds of war-torn areas to burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil, and in recent times, the news of the bandits slaughtering the city has been common, and it is many times more terrible than those rumors of beast troubles.
Because there are no local forces that are strong enough to fight the bandits, it is the people of Dawn who suffer in the end, those who have no ability to protect themselves, and in the era of war, their fate is completely controlled by the situation, not by themselves. Death is the first thing they have to face, and fear is only secondary.
For thousands of years, wars have brought only fear to ordinary people, because they are the weakest people, so they are also the ones who die the most. In the past time, I don't know how many people who originally lived a peaceful and leisurely life have fallen into dire straits, their families are ruined, and they have fled in all directions. Throughout the North, civilians fleeing can be seen everywhere.
Still, in this day and age, there is no shortage of those who seek fame and fortune, wander from country to country, or work as advisers or do some business. Those who are advisers seek fame, and those who do business seek profit. The people who seek fame don't mention it, and say that those businessmen, the war years seem to be the era when they make money.
Many large chambers of commerce travel from country to country selling important materials such as grain, grass, weapons, and everything that can be sold. Those buyers knew that those chambers of commerce were making a lot of war money, but they still had nothing to do, because their national strength in a country was not even comparable to that of a chamber of commerce.
The chambers of commerce that exist in the Northern Regions themselves are easy to say, but those chambers of commerce that have traveled across the ocean with countless merchant ships from the Central Continent are all financially strong and have strong backgrounds.
They are constantly transporting grain, grass, weapons and other materials, selling them to those countries or bandit organizations, and as long as the other party pays money, they dare to sell anything. Based on the strong background of those chambers of commerce themselves, not only the small countries, but even those large bandit organizations did not dare to offend them, so they could only let them run rampant in the Northern Regions and do all kinds of businesses that they thought were profitable.
Many small countries are now the main partners of those chambers of commerce, but in the near future they will also have relations with several major principalities. In general, the melee situation in the Northern Regions did not affect them much, and they only had to do their best to collect money.
Having said that, in fact, those chambers of commerce can be regarded as a big help to promote the war, although it is not the main cause of the war, but it has a great impact on the promotion of changes in the current situation, of course, the root cause of the trigger of the war, it cannot be fully analyzed in a certain time.
Leaving aside the current situation in the Northern Regions, the situation of the melee is irreversible, and there will only be more and more involvement in the war in the future.
In a blink of an eye, it had been half a month since Zhao Wu returned to the night capital. Half a month ago, the Night Army and the Lei Army successfully ambushed the main force of the Mongolian army in Dangqiu Mountain according to the plan. With the help of geographical advantages, the coalition army killed the Mongolian army without leaving a single piece of armor, and then pursued and killed the Mongolian deserters for several days, and drove the Mongolian army to the outside of the night country.
After several days, the number of Mongolian soldiers who finally died at the hands of the coalition forces reached more than 200,000, accounting for half of the total military strength of Mongolia. Zhao Wuna's long-planned ambush not only greatly reduced the strength of the Mongolian state, but also weakened the morale of the Mongolian army, at least after this battle, the Mongolian army would never dare to seek revenge on the night country alone.
On the other side, because the Mongolian army was ambushed, most of the grain and grass escorted by the coalition army was intercepted. Afterwards, in order to divide the spoils, the night army had a dispute with the Lei army, and the Lei army came from afar and wanted to take half of the loot back to China, but Bai Shuilian did not agree.
First, the plan to ambush the Mongolian army was provided by them, and secondly, when ambushing the Mongolian army, the night army contributed more because of the number of people, and secondly, their night army had been rushing to the aid of tens of thousands of troops in the Thunder Country before, and they had helped the Thunder Country for several months but did not ask for anything from the Thunder Country. Based on the above factors, combined with the current national conditions of the Night Country, Bai Shuilian really can't share the spoils with the Lei Country equally.
After Bai Shuilian responded to the request of the commander of the Lei army, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel in the distribution of the spoils, and in the end, Lan Ce came forward to divide it in the ratio of six or four, and the commander of the Lei army returned to the country of Lei with forty percent of the spoils with satisfaction.
After Lei Jun left, the Night Emperor Lan Ce discussed the matter of the Five Nations Alliance with Zhao Wu and other ministers. Among the five countries, the Night Country has the most wars and the most severe situation, and even the situation in the southernmost Mozambican Country is better than that of the Night Country. As for the three kingdoms between the Night Kingdom and the Mozambican Kingdom, as long as they face border threats from the east and west, there will be significantly fewer battles, but it is enough for them to deal with.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that only the neighboring Lei Kingdom can help the Night Country at a critical time, which is also the main reason why Lan Ce was willing to give Lei Jun forty percent of the loot before.
Recently, several monarchs have become more and more aware of a problem, they have been fighting independently is not conducive to the stability of the alliance, and to improve the ability of the alliance, it is necessary to turn the alliance into a real whole, led by only one person.
If they can't really unite, one by one has been fighting separately, it will be unfavorable to several countries, after mentioning this matter to the ministers, the result of Lan Ze's discussion with the ministers is to rush to the country with other kings as soon as possible, this time, the five countries must elect an alliance leader from the five kings, and the other four can only be kings in the future.
A few days ago, Lan Ce had already left with Bai Shuilian and some ministers in the court, leaving Zuo Xiang and Zhao Wu, one inside and one outside. In fact, the situation in the Night Country was relatively safe for a short period of time, and Lan Ce could leave Bai Shuilian to guard the frontier, so as to take Zhao Wu to deter the other four countries, but in the end, Zhao Wu was left behind, because so Lan Ce was more at ease.
After Lan Ce left with some ministers, the order of the Night Kingdom was as usual. Before, Zhao Wu wanted to complete the mission of saving the Night Kingdom, but now it was Lin Xuanzhong's turn to complete the task of collecting grain. Compared with saving the country, Lin Xuanzhong's task of requisitioning grain is not worth mentioning at all. Despite this, it was still difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to obtain enough grain and grass in Qucheng and Qincheng.
After carefully observing the map for a while, Lin Xuanzhong silently wrote down some of the locations marked on the map, and then it was time to find someone to ask about the specific terrain around.
It's been a while since Xing Hu went out, and I don't know if anyone can find some useful people. In addition, it is not enough to clean up the corpses in the city, and some places should be found to bury them, Lin Xuanzhong wants to explain this matter.
While Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about how to deal with the things in Qucheng one by one, Xing Hu came in with a few old men. Judging from the costumes of those people, none of them looked like ordinary civilians. Sure enough, under Lin Xuanzhong's careful scrutiny, he could see at a glance that several old men were martial cultivators.
"See my lord," On the other side, several old men bowed to Lin Xuanzhong one after another under Xing Hu's reminder.
"A few people don't have to be formal," in front of Xing Hu and some of his subordinates, Lin Xuanzhong still had to show his identity as a commander.
"Thank you, my lord," several old men slowly got up and faced Lin Xuanzhong with a respectful face, without any disrespect because of Lin Xuanzhong's young age, but the overly respectful posture of several people made Lin Xuanzhong feel embarrassed, Lin Xuanzhong did not like to talk to several old men who were over sixty years old in the posture of the superior.
