Hu Ming, the commander of the Chinese Army, was in a bad mood recently, mainly because he followed two old men in his army that no one could afford to offend. One of these two was Zhang Shangyi, the youngest son of Emperor Zhang Ping'an, and the other was Jiang He, the closed disciple of Emperor Zhang Ping'an. The prince Zhang Shangyi was the concubine son of Zhang Ping'an's Korean woman Jin Feng. Zhang Shangyi believed that he was not qualified to ascend the throne, so he put his personal interest in investigating things early. Emperor Zhang Ping'an usually likes to study investigating things when he is fine, and his youngest son Zhang Shangyi was interested in investigating things. Zhang Ping'an naturally gave it to him with all his heart. Jiang He was a rising star in the Golden Wolf Camp with a profound understanding of investigating things. Most of the newly produced objects in the empire were related to him. For this reason, Emperor Zhang Ping'an accepted Jiang He as a closed disciple and appointed him as the chief supervisor of the secret experiment workshop. Although this chief supervisor had little official position, he was the yamen that Emperor Zhang Ping'an attached the most.

Every year, the emperor invested a lot of money in the secret test workshop, and the chief manager of the workshop received special attention from the emperor. In addition, the imperial ministers and two ministers came from the secret workshop, Jiang He, the chief manager, naturally had a good status. Jiang He went to the expedition with the Blade Camp this time, mainly to look for brand new cannon weapon turtle oil in the Persian Gulf. According to the will of Emperor Zhang Ping'an, the land here seems barren, but black turtle oil can emerge. Earlier, the Chinese Empire purchased a lot of turtle oil from this place, mainly used in the test workshop. Before this expedition, Emperor Zhang Ping'an gave his son Zhang Shangyi a title of King of Lu, and also had the intention to let Zhang Shangyi experience it. Generals who are familiar with the nature of Emperor Zhang Ping'an know that Zhang Shangli, the son of the imperial concubine Ji Yuehe, does not even have a title now, but Zhang Shangli's little intention to ascend to the top of the throne was penetrated by Emperor Zhang Ping'an.

The struggle for the emperor's throne made Emperor Zhang Ping'an feel guilty. He admired his son Zhang Shangyi's performance in avoiding disasters. The emperor's family lacked family affection, and his children and grandchildren were all very smart. God knows whether the successors would eliminate dissidents after his death to consolidate the throne. Therefore, Emperor Zhang Ping'an set his son Zhang Shangyi's fief at the ancient Huats and Zimo and renamed this place to Lu and gave it to Zhang Shangyi. Since he wanted to compensate his son Zhang Shangyi, Emperor Zhang

Ping'an issued an edict to build several weapon workshops here to replenish ammunition nearby for combat. Even if Zhang Ping'an built the workshop on a large scale here, he still retained the bullet* and bullet shell technology. The Lu State ammunition Workshop could only be responsible for the final process here. In order to protect the safety of his sons Zhang Shangyi and Jiang He, the emperor sent 3,000 cavalrymen to serve as his guards. With such two masters in the Blade Battalion Army, the commander Hu Ming had to send 5,000 people to ensure their safety.

The commander Hu Ming was in trouble because of two important figures of the Blade Battalion, and Emperor Zhang Ping'an was not in much better mood. Yang Wei, the commander of the Chinese Army's oldest artillery battalion, rushed from the rear to the front line to meet Emperor Zhang Ping'an, hoping to give him another chance to make achievements. The commander of the artillery battalion, Yang Wei, was over 60 years old and should have reached the age of rest. However, Yang Wei was unwilling to be suppressed by Yang's sister's light. He pleaded strongly to ask the emperor to let him go to the front line again despite his age. Emperor Zhang

After Ping'an summoned Yang Wei, he first affirmed Yang Wei's courage to fight, and then the two had a meal together to review the hardships of the era of the Po Slave Army. This man liked to recall the past when he was old. During the chat, Emperor Zhang Ping'an agreed to Yang Wei's request to go to the front line. Among the three artillery battalions generals in the Chinese army, only Yang's sister was most valued by Emperor Zhang Ping'an. Although Yang Wei had outstanding military achievements, he was gradually abandoned by Zhang Ping'an because he had no new ideas in commanding the artillery battalion on the battlefield.

Since the Slave Army entered the Central Plains, Yang Wei's artillery battalion has become a left-behind army. In the battle of the Chinese Empire to attack the Ottoman Empire, the artillery battalion almost did not carry heavy artillery, and mainly had to cross several rugged roads on the plateau to restrict the passage of heavy artillery. Yang Wei's artillery shells were originally stationed in Xinjiang, and at this time, the Xinjiang province became the hinterland of the empire, so it was not very meaningful to leave Yang Wei's artillery team. Therefore, the emperor issued an order to transfer all the gunners of the Yang Wei's artillery team and

The auxiliary soldiers went to the front line. Since the artillery used by the imperial army was not easy to transport from 6 places, the artillery team basically marched empty-handed horses, and they did not even bring shell boxes. Therefore, Yang Wei's artillery battalion went to the front line, referring to Yang's artillery battalion, and only transferred the gunners and auxiliary soldiers to the front line. For this expedition to the Ottoman Empire, the Chinese Empire experimental workshop made heavy **, which weighed 20 kilograms and required heavy artillery fire to attack the enemy's strong city walls.

Another important purpose of Emperor Zhang Ping'an sent his son Zhang Shangyi and the general manager Jiang He to search for tinder oil in advance was to collect raw materials for the artillery camp. Emperor Zhang Ping'an received news that there was a large area of ​​black tinder oil in the Persian Gulf region. Jiang He and Zhang Shangyi's main errands found these oil-burning areas and firmly occupied the area to the territory of the empire. In addition to Yang Wei coming to ask for a fight, there were two other generals.

They also wrote a memorial to ask to go to the front line. They were Huang Feihong, deputy commander of the Water Dragon Camp and Dong Heliang, deputy commander of the Water Dragon Camp. The Water Dragon Camp has been stationed in Kuye Island in the cold zone north of the empire, while Dong Heliang's troops are across the sea from Huang Feihong's troops on Kuye Island in Fushanwei. These two war barracks are secret chess for Emperor Zhang Ping'an to guard his son Zhang Shangwu. Over the years, Emperor Zhang Ping'an has always been uneasy about the American Emperor Zhang Shangwu and specially sent two war barracks to guard the Kuye Island Strait.

As the Chinese Empire's naval forces became stronger and stronger, it seemed a bit useless to stay in these two war barracks. Because the American Empire is a powerful country with six places, there is no special navy, and the number of armed cargo ships is only 30. Zhang Shangwu's American Empire has all the materials and commodities traded by the Chinese Empire to the Maritime Merchant Alliance fleet in recent years. First, Zhang Shangwu has a close relationship with several uncles, and second, he also told his father that he had no ambition to seize the throne of the Chinese Empire. There were 160 warships in the northern fleet of the empire, and there were about 370 armed cargo ships. Such a powerful fleet of the American Empire could not fight at all. In particular, the Water Dragon Camp and Dong Heliang's troops were both war barracks that were good at water warfare, which was obviously a waste to let these two war barracks drink the northwest wind.

After deep thought, Emperor Zhang Ping'an planned to requisition the cargo ships of the Sihai Commercial Bank to transfer these two war barracks to the front line. However, the suspicious Emperor Zhang Ping'an was still a little worried. He issued an edict to move six workshops that made ammunition for bullets from Ponu City to Ping'an City and the imperial capital Chang'an. Another trouble for Emperor Zhang Ping'an came from Zhang Li and Hu Ming's two hob meats. Originally, Emperor Zhang Ping'an planned to be the king of these two people and gave Zhang Li one.

The king of Anxi, and Hu Ming was named King of Pingxi. But these two hobs shyly gave memorials, saying that the war was not over and asked the emperor to take back his orders. Emperor Zhang Ping'an immediately felt something was wrong when he received these two memorials. He sent someone to ask the two of them for the reason, and the reply he received made Zhang Ping'an laugh and cry. It turned out that the title of Anxi, the country of Anxi, was not in line with the habits of the Chinese people, and the Chinese meaning of Anxi was a bit uncomfortable.

The title of King Pingxi reminded Hu Ming of the Ming Dynasty Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui. This family slave of the three surnames who were fickle really disliked Hu Ming. Since these two hob meats did not like titles, this was not an urgent matter. Emperor Zhang Ping'an planned to deal with this small matter after the war. In the heart of Emperor Zhang Ping'an, he did not want to grant this rich land to Zhang Li and Hu Ming, but Zhang Li and Hu Ming's children and grandchildren seemed to have all enterprising spirits. With this prerequisite, this fertile land can at least be controlled by the Han people for hundreds of years. After dealing with all the troubles, the commander of the Chinese army, Zhang Ping'an, issued an order to resume the attack. Soon, Liu Chong, the commander of the main combat camp of the Chinese army, led the 30,000 cavalry guards of the Yang Meimei artillery team to the eastern part of the Persian Gulf.

The purpose of the Firefox Camp to the Persian Gulf was to escort the artillery battalion to receive artillery from the bay. Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chinese Empire marched into five groups, and their targets were all the cities of the Ottoman Empire. The Imperial General Staff issued very clear instructions to each department, that is, not to let a city of the Ottoman Empire go away, and any city that dares to resist the Chinese army will be massacred. The military order issued by the General Staff also clarified that the encounters of each war camp

When you reach a strong city, you will be surrounded. Do not force attacks to increase unnecessary casualties of the soldiers in the army. These strong cities can be handed over to the Chinese artillery battalion to destroy its walls before launching a general attack. For a time, the Ottoman Empire was full of smoke, and the Chinese army's iron plow-like swords pointed directly at the Ottoman hinterland. After receiving the warning that the Chinese Empire's army had full strength to attack the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Mehomet IV ordered the Jianbi Qingye to evacuate all population and food from the east.

The combat strategy of Sultan Mehomet IV was very simple, which was to trade space for time, and use the natural dangers of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Strait to deal with the Chinese army. Similarly, the attack strategy of the Chinese Empire commander Zhang Ping'an was also very simple. He asked the Chinese army to fight slowly rather than fast, and not leave any hidden dangers wherever they passed. All the generals of the war barracks understood the connotation of the so-called hidden dangers of the emperor's imperial edict, that is, the Ottomans were not left where the army walked. However, shortly after the commander Huang Zhi, who was responsible for the right-wing attack, encountered a local indigenous army in the Fanhu area. This chaotic army of 9,000 people was not here to attack the Chinese army, but asked the Chinese army to bring them to attack the Ottoman Empire. Now the commander Huang Zhi was a little confused, and he didn't know how to deal with this strange thing.

Fortunately, some people in this army can speak Mongolian language. Although the Mongolian language here is very different from Oriental Mongolian language, at least there is no problem in communicating. It turns out that this strong young army of cavalry and infantry is the local nomadic Kurds. They are oppressed by the Ottomans all year round and have extremely difficult survival. With their strong military strength, the Ottomans not only ask the Kurds for astonishing cattle and sheep every year, but also offer five hundred beauties to their sultans and nobles. If the requirements of the Ottoman Empire cannot be met, the Ottoman Empire will send troops to conquer the Kurds living here. The powerful reputation of the Chinese Empire has long been spread to the Kurds gathering areas, and they also want to send a delegation to visit the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, but they don’t know where to find this great Eastern king.
