2361 Thunder in the Silence (15)

"I don't know if it's Yelu Hongtai's luck, or if the fighting power of the Central Biya people is too poor!" the fat man sighed and put the latest report on the situation in Central Bia on the breakfast table

"What's the matter" Rui Tang Tingna raised her head unexpectedly, and looked at the fat man curiously, she was sitting on the right hand side of the dining table, wearing a delicate white tunic top, a white corsage pinned to her chest, a black and purple pleated long skirt on her lower body, red deerskin boots on her legs, and a silver knife in her hand, while very carefully sprinkling salt on a fat autumn fish that only existed in May, if she didn't know her identity, who would know that this woman dressed as a typical noble lady of the empire was the murderous princess of the grassland

"It's just a bit of an accident!" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer, "I asked Li Yuehua to sell the Thunder God of Central Biya, I wanted to add some difficulty to the southbound grassland army, but who knew that the situation had changed unexpectedly, and the Thunder God that Li Yuehua sold to Central Biya actually fell into the hands of Yelu Hongtai who went south."

"It can't be! That's Thor."

Rui Tang Tingna frowned slightly, she is a steppe person, how could she not know how terrible Thor's natural suppressive power on the grassland cavalry cluster is, the combat power of the right army is there, and it is completely impossible to compare with the front-line combat troops of the empire, not to mention that this time to the south, it is completely the right minister Yelu Hongtai insisted on it, hundreds of thousands of people, only gave five days, how hasty it can be imagined, the various ethnic groups have not even established a mutual command relationship, so they panicked to the south, that is to say, the grassland army is simply fighting on its own, but it is such a chaotic grassland army, and the Chinese and Belgian armies cannot stop itExcept for the poor combat effectiveness of the Chinese and Belgian armies, there is really nothing to say

"On the battlefield, nothing is impossible, I have to admit that Yelu Hongtai is a lucky person!"

The fat man said in a slow voice disapprovingly, and the grassland army went south. Originally, he asked Li Yuehua to send an envoy to Central Bia, just to take advantage of the pressure brought by the southward movement of the grassland army to force the Central Bia side to accept the military assistance of the empire, and at the same time obtain the power to build a trade port on the southern coast of Central Bia, and then use the thunder god to add some blockage to Yelu Hongtai in the south, at least it will not let Yelu Hongtai destroy all the way to the hinterland of the Dijing Plain so easily, who asked a princess Mingyue to give himself. There is no rudeness, but I didn't expect it to be such a situation

"Although the Yanzhou barrier has suffered a setback, it has basically recovered when it has entered the Dijing Plain in the south, and it seems that the commander of the Central Biya Empire in the Dijing region has obviously also had a problem" The fat man's face was strange, as an imperial military god, it was easy to see some problems from the report. Sneered

"Judging from the layout, this Central Beya general is not entirely mediocre, 30,000 troops are indeed a little small, and he originally wanted to use the northern urban agglomeration to weaken the strength of the steppe army. Unexpectedly, the large-scale surrender of the northern part of the imperial capital was completely to send life-saving supplies to the grassland army that was dying in Yanzhou. Moreover, the morale of the army has risen significantly, and when it was time for the battle, the Central Biya general found that the strength of the grassland army was much higher than expected. When the battle started, the two armies met, and it has always been the brave who wins, just like the two have already waved their fists, and one side suddenly began to be afraid, how could he not be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face!"

"First lost Surabaya, and then Wulingpo was defeated, just flee by yourself, and also swept the troops from Zhongbiya from the imperial capital to support, killed 30,000 in battle, and more than 40,000 people were captured by the grassland army, and the remaining troops added up to less than 50,000, what else to stop the grassland army from attacking Zhongbia Dijing!"

"So, has the Grassland Army captured the Imperial Capital and can gain a firm foothold?" Rui Tang Tingna's beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked cautiously,

"It can be said that according to Yelu Hongtai's methods, there should be no problem in gaining a firm foothold, it seems that the empire's policy towards Yelu Hongtai needs to be changed" The fat man glanced at his woman, not knowing how Rui Tang Tingna could say such a sentence, but he still nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is saying that the empire wants to support Yelu Hongtai?" Rui Tangtingna blinked her long eyelashes, the grassland people are not born with the talent of conspirators, and even on this, there are some hindsights, such as since the failure of Oone's mistake, the time when she imprisoned the Heavenly Wolf Mansion, when she was bored, she was analyzing this grassland war, she knew that the Vechia Falcon personally came forward, and the grassland army had no chance of winning, so the front-line war was not worth paying too much attention to, but she knew that the situation of the grassland army going south became inevitable, thinking of the huge scene of hundreds of thousands of grassland people migrating towards the south, she suddenly realized that she had missed an important issue

Empire, why go to war against the steppes?

Is it really to eliminate hidden dangers when the empire constantly launched wars against the steppe dynasty, even at the expense of going out in person?

She remembered that the fat man once said that war is just a means of competing interests, without interests, there is no war, the empire mobilized hundreds of thousands of manpower, more than 100,000 elites, two crusades across thousands of miles, one bloody battle after another, is what he is pursuing is this large area of wasteland in front of him? Just kidding, unless the sun comes out of the west, and his own man who already owns countless vast lands, will be interested in these wastelands with little development value? This thousands of miles of wilderness, that is, it sounds better, in terms of real value, I am afraid that it is not as good as even a densely populated province of the empire "Since he has shown his strength, he has the qualifications worthy of the support of the empire! And I believe that the Yelu family will send someone soon, since he has seen the power of the empire's thunder god, he Yelu Hongtai does not know how to have a good relationship with the empire, but he is afraid that he will not sleep well" The fat man did not deny Rui Tang Tingna's statement, but smiled and said categorically

For Yelu Hongtai, the fat man's opinion is that a first-class politician has the natural skill of cheating the dead without losing money, the hearts of thousands of people, a second-rate military strategist, and 60,000 Luzhou troops, he blocked the general trend of 300,000 grassland troops going south, and almost collapsed, and this combat effectiveness is no different from the militia.

If according to the convention, the 300,000 grassland militia fought bloodily all the way, even if they were able to defeat the Zhongbiya Dijing in the end, they were finally wiped out by the Longjia Western Army at the gate of Yanzhou in the north after being bruised all over the body by the Zhongbia Army, the problem is. Yelu Hongtai's luck is too good, luck, itself is part of the strength,

The fat man, who has always been lucky, insists on identifying this point, and he can't get along with anyone, and he shouldn't get along with luck! Yelu Hongtai, an old boy, is obviously lucky now, and if he has divine help in military affairs, he is also a good hand in internal affairs, and he is also an admirer of Sino-Belgian culture. Capture the Dijing Plain, the next step must be to pacify, take advantage of the armed counterattack of the Sino-Belgian army, completely stabilize the Dijing Plain, and become the foundation of the Yelu family, if it is not for the front of the Dijing Plain to be slaughtered by the grassland, Yelu Hongtai does this, there may still be great danger, the problem is that the hard bones have been killed. Those who stayed were afraid of death, and under the scimitar, it was the steppe people who climbed the Jinglong chair of God, or the Central Biya people. Who dares to speak out

The three-legged situation of the Sino-Biya side is taking shape, and the empire naturally cannot turn a blind eye. Inevitably, its power will increase again, but the Central Beian Empire will lose the Imperial Plain, and its control area will be greatly reduced to a few provinces in the south. Not to mention the great reduction in strength, many internal contradictions will also begin to burst out.

For example, the Southern Song Clan, which has secretly allied itself with the Long family in the southwest, will naturally not continue to lie in wait, and the Western Army of the Long Family, which has two places in the southwest and Yanzhou, will also be regarded more and more as a thorn in the side of the Central Belgian court, and the Sino-Biya pattern is like a large volcanic crater that may erupt at any time

Falling, it may be the sky falling

The steppe empire in the north and the Central Beya empire in the south will become historical terms under this thunderstorm.

This is a sign of troubled times! Just like the turmoil of a hundred years ago, human life is like grass, beacon fire is full of clouds, the Falcon Empire is not afraid of war, but it has not stepped into this kind of quagmire war that may be entangled for hundreds of years.

So the fat man did not expand his land in the Central Bia Empire at all** After all, this is too far away from the core area of the empire's rule, and it is actually because this is the gateway to the empire's trade routes, which can go east into the grassland, and can go south to Central Bia, in Central Bia, in the process of contact with the Song people and the Long family, it is obvious that economic means are used to be more suitable than military conquest, and the understanding of commerce and trade in the Central Bia region is far less profound than that of the Western Continent, and the merchants are despised untouchables in Central Bia, and the merchants are even the most basic and low-level qualified classes, so the market here is still blank,

The division and chaos of the Central Bia region is definitely a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for the already developed and aggressive merchants of the empire

The Song family, the Western Army of the Long Family, the Yelu Family, the Zhongbia court, and the wealthy families in the Central Bia region, the princes of the grassland royal court in the north, these parties have countless forces, how many pairs of eyes, are staring at this sky that is about to collapse, once Yelu Hongtai captures the Zhongbia Imperial Palace, it will make the wheels of the troubled times turn unstoppably,

It won't be long before the forces of all sides will begin to massively expand their power, they need weapons, they need war horses, they need food, these things, who can take them out except for the empire now?

As for even a militaristic heavy weapon like Thor that can cause the balance of combat power to tilt, as long as you are willing to give money, the empire can also supply it, and the empire's region in Central Bia is just a wilderness, even if it is affected by the war, it is very limited, but the military market in the entire Central Bia region will be completely opened to the empire.

It can be seen from the area established by the empire now that the governor of Ontso is Murphy Boone, and the governor of the Heavenly Wolf Mansion is Wumu, both of whom are fierce generals in military affairs, and thousands of miles of wilderness simply exist as a trade barrier of the empire, such a wilderness, even large-scale immigration cannot be improved in the short term, not to mention the harsh climate of the Northland, not everyone is willing to come,

From the empire's migration of population, involving all aspects, as well as various settlement costs, land costs, and food must be enough to maintain until next autumn, the cost is huge, and the gains outweigh the losses, but if a brutal large-scale chaotic war breaks out in Central Bia, the dense population of Central Bia will consciously pour into the control area where the empire is located in order to avoid the war, and it is completely possible to rely on this chaotic war, so that the empire can create two or three provinces with huge populations in the Central Bia region, what the empire needs is actually to maintain strength, maintain stability, protect this trade route linking the east and west continents, and silently absorb the wealth, population, and resources of the entire Central Bia region, echoing the future establishment of a commercial port in the south of Central Bia,

This is a huge market on the scale of the continent, this is a huge number based on millions, this is a time span in ten years, which will be an astronomical amount

The forging workshop established by Li Yuehua in the southwest, the mineral transportation line established by the forced commercial alliance before, and the relationship between the Song people and the Southwest Longjia were all prepared for this, which is comparable to the strategy of opening the inland sea of the empire Strategic concept, if successful, it will be a century-old national policy to promote a glorious era, one in the sea, one on land, two major arteries for blood transfusion, which can concentrate the resources and wealth of the east and west continents into the area of the empire, and nourish the empire with two continents, just like Rome back then, although there were only 20,000 people in the Roman city, but in order to nourish the city, it was 100,000, hundreds of thousands of Roman slaves, this is the real purpose of the fat man,

This is the first time that he has set a strategy with the mainland, and only the fat man himself knows such a purpose.

Although it is a little out of control, but the general trend is more satisfying to the fat man, with the Thor of the Prairie Army, will let Zhongbia know that they firmly believe that the tactics of building a strong wall to block the cavalry for thousands of years are collapsing, calculating the time and the intensity of the battle, the people of the Yelu family should already be on the way,

There are so many cannonballs for Thor, as for Li Yuehua secretly sent some more, the Ministry of Supervision naturally reported it, and the fat man didn't care, in order to be able to maintain the same attack power as the grassland army, Yelu Hongtai should find a way to get more sufficient Thor, more Thor bullets, that thing, except for the Imperial Army, who else has?

I just need to write the price and wait, Yelu Hongtai should have collected a lot in the Dijing Plain, how can I be cheaper this old fox! 20,000 thousand silver, that's the price of affection, how can I want 30,000 taels of silver now! Don't do anything, it feels good to wait for someone to deliver money (to be continued......
