2384 The Wind Passes Through the Corridor (4)

As soon as the Six-Nation Alliance turned its head, the reinforcements turned into enemies, and the biggest reaction was naturally Istanbul Kyoto.

The 100,000 army suddenly turned around in the northward advance, and the 15,000 cavalry rushed straight to the periphery of Kyoto in the Stan Empire like spikes, and deceived three lines of defense in a row in the name of being ordered to enter Beijing, if it weren't for the fact that the outer defense line of Istanbul Kyoto needed the emperor's order to enter, the allied cavalry would have already entered the city of Kyoto, so that the emperor's flag, which had just been established in the Istanbul Empire for less than three months, was dyed red again, and the sudden turn of the coalition army made the Iranian side have illusions at first, was it the dissatisfaction caused by the delay in the delivery of the south, or did the coalition have new requirements? How can it be discussed, why is it so, the Kyoto side sent people to negotiate, but as the silence disappeared, the great prince of the Islamic Empire, who did not know his life and death, stood up from the coalition army, and the envoy who went to negotiate was unwilling to stay even for a moment, the eldest prince returned, the crown prince returned! This news was like a flat stone that fell like a mirror lake, and suddenly scattered countless ripples, and quickly spread in Kyoto at an irrepressible speed, and the direction of the entire Istanbul Kyoto changed.

Compared with the difficult ascension of the second prince, if it was the eldest prince, he would have become the emperor a long time ago, after all, the eldest prince is the orthodox prince that the emperor Soladin I has painstakingly cultivated for more than 20 years, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also regard the crown prince as the future emperor from the heartIf you don't take advantage of this opportunity. Then there will be no more chances,

The forces that had been suppressed in the region for many years burst out at once, and the local armies under the banner of supporting the king marched towards Kyoto, but their support for the king was not for the new emperor, but for the great prince, and the new emperor was contemptuously called the "puppet king" by the regional governors, and the strength of the central government was already very weak before, and if it were not for the entry of 100,000 southern coalition troops, who would have been in charge of the decision of the central government? Not to mention the fact that the central government had exchanged six southern provinces for troops this time, which made the regional governors lose their lips and teeth. Giving up six provinces at one time, one-third of the southern region, such an emperor, who can be trusted, next time, I don't know if he will give up those regions!

"Those who turn their backs on the monarch should all be put to death,"

"The other party came prepared, 100,000 pressures. I still need to be calm!"

"It's all this time, is there still room for calm? Can't you see, this is a conspiracy, and it has been a conspiracy from beginning to end! There is no room for retreat. This is war, a naked declaration of war!"

Above the Kyoto court, the ministers were silent, and the generals had already quarreled into a mess. Today's Istanbul Kyoto is no longer what it used to be, and nearly 80,000 troops trained in war have just completed the suppression of the three provinces near Kyoto. It is no longer the weak Kyoto that was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of rebels, and the rebels have been defeated and can no longer recover, and the military's confidence began to swell rapidly.

80,000 troops, in the heyday of the Istanbul Empire is of course nothing, when Soladin I conquered Feshan, but 300,000 elites, but now in the territory of the Istanbul Empire, compared to the 10,000 or 20,000 troops between the regions, it is already enough to make the other side surrender, a small test, the governors of the three nearby provinces immediately panicked and went to Kyoto to ask for guilt, from the new emperor to the generals, for which it was excited for several days,

"The time has come for the empire to flourish, and Your Majesty's heroic posture should be seen by the entire empire, so that those jumping clowns can be ashamed of themselves and submit to the central government!" The Ministry of Military Affairs submitted a comprehensive plan to the new emperor, believing that Kyoto's strength has been full, and it is a good time for external expansion, and the only thing that is limited is the strength of troops, but the three provinces are in hand, and if you work hard, you should be able to expand the two legions by 60,000 people, and when Kyoto merces an army of 150,000 troops, who dares not surrender, within a year, the once glorious Istanbul Empire will reappear with Obaro Oriental "are a group of people who obviously have eyes, but they can't see!"

In the queue of ministers, an imperial minister wearing a uniform with a gold thread collar glanced at the corner of his mouth with contempt, a reckless man is a reckless man, except for shouting about war and killing, what else will it do? Expanding the army and fighting a war all cost money, do you know what the situation in Kyoto is now? Such a frenzied expansion of the army has led to the economic pressure of Kyoto, to the verge of bankruptcy, the grain on the market must be given priority to supply the army, the iron ore on the market has been purchased by the military at a low price, and the merchants who cannot afford it are scrambling to flee Kyoto, because of the lack of labor, the fields outside Kyoto are becoming more and more empty, and this autumn will inevitably be a big reduction in production, and it will be thankful that half of last year's will be available

Even so, the military only knows how to shout to expand the army, thinking that as long as there are soldiers in hand, it is strong, where do you know that the most important thing for the expansion of the army is money, wanton and reckless recruitment, unlimited expansion, but I don't see that Kyoto is turning into a huge barracks, like a deformed monster, in order to maintain, ruthlessly devouring everything that can be devoured, the most important department is the Imperial Military Affairs Department, 80% of Kyoto's taxes are used to expand the army, and three-quarters of the people on the promotion list are soldiers,

At this time in Istanbul Kyoto, you will see the people on the street, three or four out of ten are uniformed soldiers, in the tavern talking loudly about state affairs are soldiers, with a contemptuous gaze, standing on the side of the street, glaring angrily at the driving rich dignitaries are soldiers, dragging lame legs and broken hands on the street begging for soldiers, in the planning step, the most important centralization, unconsciously became from the beginning of the 20,000 army, the expansion of the current 80,000 army army expansion plan,

The central power has not been concentrated, the regional financial resources have not been obtained, but the heavy military expenditure has been doubled several times in a short period of time, even in a place like Kyoto, even if the ministers and dignitaries are desperately squeezing the region, they also feel that the empire's money bags are being sucked out by the bottomless pit of the army, and the ministers naturally have complaints about the military's actions

They made every effort to put His Royal Highness the Second Prince on the throne of the emperor, seeking more benefits and status. But who knew that after the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to giving them a bunch of useless empty titles, the real benefit was still to let those soldiers occupy, counterinsurgency war, in order to absorb troops as soon as possible, more than 200,000 civilians were absorbed into the imperial army, in order to resist the approaching footsteps of the rebels, civilians were pushed up in large numbers to die, once a total population of more than 600,000 prosperous Kyoto. After the fiasco of Fesan and the counterinsurgency war, the current population is less than 300,000, of which 80,000 are soldiers, a ratio of nearly three to one, which has greatly exceeded the capacity of Kyoto

Many of these soldiers who fought bloodily in the peace of the chaos went bankrupt and their wives were separated during the war. The wounded and disabled are even more incalculable, because the treasury is already empty, and the bounty promised by Kyoto for the counterinsurgency war is naturally released. And those who were conscripted into the army caused the land to be annexed by the nobility!

Such a huge group of people are full of resentment after witnessing the drunken gold fans in Kyoto and the harsh oppression of the common people in Kyoto. How can you have a good impression of such a Kyoto!

It's ridiculous that such an army is still relied on by the generals as a barrier to Kyoto. In this case, the new emperor is invisible, the ministers can see it, but the ministers are staring at the land of those civilians, naturally no one will speak for these future slaves, the Iranian Empire adopts a slave system, and a large number of bankrupt civilians are the best source of slaves, and the generals of the military will not say that they want to reap the benefits of military merit rewards, and to persuade the emperor to agree to a comprehensive expansion of the army, it is natural that they must not mention the hardships of the lower-level soldiers, and they cannot mention the issue of military spending, and make every effort to promote the continuation of the expansion of the armyThese generals, who were promoted by His Majesty the Emperor from the middle and lower level officers in one go, still have their thinking horizons at the level of middle and lower level officers, and the new emperor himself is not the material for leading the troops, so naturally he does not know about these, and his head is full of ideas about the Zhongxing Empire, and these subsections will naturally not be considered.

The rain continued to fall, covering the world into a white expanse and turning it into a wetland with puddles everywhere

The horses' hooves stepped on such a ground, the water splashed, Varisian stopped his horse, looked at the half-watery and half-saline land in front of him, and the camp along the river was the military flag of the camp of the Hayela pro-army, crowded next to each other near the riverbank, the number was full of fifty thousand, and the range of three or four miles was spread out around several large banners, and the layers were like a huge plane, showing a very rigorous arrangement

"Lord Hayera, he really deserves to be the number one general of the former Istanbul Empire, just this camp in front of me makes me secretly frightened!" Varisian raised his horsewhip and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth to the Governor of the Eastern Province, Hayera

"Lord Varisian is too polite, compared to the majesty of the lord, who crisscrosses most of the northern part of Obarro, and is among the top twenty famous generals on the mainland, I, Hayera, am just a turtle nesting in a small place."

Ha Ye touched his stomach with his hand, the corners of his mouth grinning to the root of his ears with a smile, a very happy image, wearing a bulging tube armor, beaten by the rain and shiny, like a huge boar wearing a big red cloak, riding on a war horse larger than other war horses, heavy weight and armor, this giant horse was also a little panting, ordered to withdraw from the territory of the Istanbul Empire, lost more than 20,000 highland soldiers, logically speaking, this fierce war pig, for the empire's decision should have complaints, but from his current enthusiasm, there is no meaning to complain, the reason is very simple, most of the dead highland soldiers, none of them are descendants of Hayala

The fact that the highlanders moved to the eastern provinces did not mean that they were all willing to submit to the administration of Hayala

This six-nation alliance raid, by his strength, a hard lesson for those disobedient tribes, so that some time ago when attacking the Istanbul Empire, in order to snatch materials and military merits, several tribes who attacked their compatriots have suffered a lot of dark losses, during this time, these tribes have shown a lot of deference, Hayela has also married several women in a row, people are naturally full of spirit when they are happy, the imperial general Varisian personally led 100,000 imperial elites to arrive in the Eastern Province, but also let the highlanders know for the first time the terrible imperial soldiers, Hayela, the identity of the imperial governor of the East, is more and more feared by the highland tribes, Hayela itself is a rather terrifying elite, and now it has the support of 100,000 imperial troops,

At the meeting of the Highlanders that ended yesterday, Hayela has been elected as the new leader of the Highlanders, and the empire has sold such a big favor as Hayala, and Hayela is now also dead set on the empire

Originally, according to the plan, Hayela would gather troops within five days and attack the Istan Empire again, and at the same time, the 100,000 imperial elites of Varisian would also march with them, of course, this is an illusion, 20,000 cavalry in the 100,000 imperial army will turn back halfway and directly push to the royal capital of Feishan, according to the news of the inner eyeline of the royal capital, with the departure of the imperial army, the nobles of the royal capital frequently conspired with the envoys of the six southern countries to liaise with each other, and more than ten ships of weapons and equipment have been sent to the royal capital of Feishan, ten ships of weapons, enough for thousands of soldiers, to launch a direct resistance to the empire is obviously insufficient, but it is enough to launch a sudden attack at a critical moment, it is obvious, The target of King Faisan should be an imperial general like Varisian, but Varisian doesn't know how King Faisan is so sure that he will suddenly withdraw from the front line and even ambush such a killing situation!" "Lord Varisian, Istanbul is in a hurry!"

The herald cavalry sent shocking news, the crown prince of Istanbul has appeared on the periphery of Istanbul Kyoto, accompanied by 100,000 six-nation coalition troops, Varisian and Hayera couldn't help but look at each other, this plot has changed too bloody, Varisien smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, I see, his eyes were fierce and he watched the eagle flag fluttering on the top of the camp, although he was not completely sure of what he thought in his heart, but Varisian roughly guessed part of it,

It's unbelievable to say it, and the sudden change in Istanbul Kyoto will involve its own side.

It's very simple, the only thing that can assist the Empire of Istanbul against the Six-Nation Alliance is the powerful Falcon Empire, and Kyoto is surrounded by regiments, and even if there are reinforcements, it can't arrive quickly, but the Imperial Army can, because the Empire has a naval advantage that other countries don't have, and it takes two or three days to send from Fishan to Kyoto in Istanbul,

If the new emperor of Istanbul is willing to pay a large enough price, it is very likely that the empire will agree to send troops to help,

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and in any case, at the moment the empire has essentially declared war on the six southern countries,

It's messed up, the plan is completely messed up!Varisien frowned slightly and clenched the urgent report in his hand, this situation is definitely beyond the emperor's expectations, so is there still a need to carry out the previous plan? (To be continued......)
