Chapter 1150 Aurelian's Northern Expedition

After hearing the craftsman leader's words, Feng Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "After trial production, it will be produced in large quantities. This mesh gun will be built with one thousand pieces. Such special crossbow guns and crossbow shells should be built as much as possible. I will be able to widely equip the entire army in three months."

The craftsman leader was embarrassed when he heard this. Feng Yu immediately understood his intention and said, "It is certainly unrealistic to make your workshop alone with such a large amount. You can outsource non-core components, such as the ignition trigger on the mesh gun, the hollow crossbow gun tip and barrel to the owners of private workshops. The Governor's Office will allocate funds to you."

Feng Yu thought that his plan would solve the problem, but the leader of the craftsman said: "Governor, but...but now those private workshops cannot draw any manpower or time to work. Their business is full now."

"Oh? Can their business be so good?" Feng Yu asked a question.

"I'm not to be hiding the Governor. This is true for several workshops that have cooperated with us. They now receive a large number of orders for making crossbows and arrows. There are all places, including those from Egyptian caravans, those from Roman city merchant groups, and even orders from Thrace, Achaia, Spain, and Egalopolis. They are now working all day and night. There is no time to take our orders unless the Governor issues an order to force them to take our orders."

Feng Yu nodded and pondered for a few breaths and said to himself: "So that's it. It seems that the princes have been resting for a few years, and some people have begun to fight again. Could it be that force..."

...

In the midsummer of 233 AD, Feng Yu received several letters in succession. One was written by the Egyptian Governor Aurelian, who claimed that the time to "raise troops to fight against the thieves" was coming. He was also prepared. However, he had no navy and could only march from the land to attack Syria, Asia Minor, Thrace, Achaia, Spain, and Paracel, and finally met with Alexander, who crossed the Alps in the near-Germain province. However, in this way, he needed to pass through the Suez Canal area under Feng Yu's jurisdiction. I hope Feng Yu could provide easy access. Although the text was written with a plea, the lines were bound to be obtained.

The second letter was from Alexander himself, but when Feng Yu saw the writing style, he knew that it was written by Alexander's mother Amyas. The letter also mentioned that the time for restoring Roman order and law was coming, and asked Feng Yu to assist Alexander's actions as much as possible. The most important one was to support Aurelian's Northern Expedition in various ways.

The remaining few letters were letters from some small "princes" who formed an alliance with Feng Yu. Their common feature was that several provinces adjacent to or close to Egypt, including the Jewish provinces and Carthage provinces, were facing the situation where Alelian's army was going to pass through their jurisdiction. Because Alelian sent troops from Egypt to the north without taking the sea route, it was nothing more than two routes of march. One was to go north along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and cross the canal one after another.

Passing through the provinces of Jewish, Syria, Asia Minor, Thrace, Pansino and other provinces, you finally arrive at the near Germans in the northern part of the Alps. The other is to go west along the northern coast of the Mediterranean to the Mauritalia province, then cross the Strait of Gibraltar, land in the far Spanish provinces, and pass through the near Spanish, Transgal and other provinces to the near Germans. Both routes will pass through many "princes" territory that have formed an alliance with Feng Yu.

Although these "princes" who formed an alliance with Feng Yu were cautiously maintaining a neutral state, they still recognized Alexander in form. Therefore, they could not refuse Aurelian's entry, but they were worried that Aurelian would play the "fake way to attack Guo" and disintegrate their "independence". They were in a dilemma for a while and were helpless, and they wrote to Feng Yu for advice.

Feng Yu thought about it for a long time before he picked up the pen and replied to them one by one. The reply to Alexander was to ensure that he would comply with Alexander's instructions and cooperate with Aurelian's "Northern Expedition".

He replied to Aurelian that he was willing to open the canal area for his army to pass. In addition, he would join forces with the provincial administrators along the way to provide his army with food, grass, and various assistance, as well as various assistance. The Sicily province will also assist Aurelian's Northern Expedition with its unique maritime advantage. In fact, Feng Yu laid a foreshadowing here - to assist Aurelian along the way, it would involve him sending troops to the provinces along the way that were allied with him, helping Aurelian to ensure the supply of the rear and escort the food and grass. This move, regardless of whether it is necessary or not, will at least make Feng Yu and other allies feel at ease.

Finally, he replied to these allies and let Alelian pass with confidence and boldness. He ensured that the "independence" of these allies would not be destroyed by Alelian. He even had to send a small number of troops to each province just in case.

In fact, Feng Yu knew that there was no such thing, Alelian would never have any intention of these provinces. Because in recent years, although Alelian has been recruiting troops and expanding the army several times to nearly 70,000 or 80,000 people, so many soldiers and horses have to stay in Egypt and divide the troops into two groups to attack the "rebels" along the way. He still had the idea of ​​fighting these neutral provinces and seizing these neutral provinces. He also had to send trusted troops to guard the future to ensure the safety of the later generations. Those resilient areas that were restored must also guard the troops. As the way went, when he arrived in Germany, his troops were not much left. Therefore, Feng Yu concluded that the Alelian Society would pass through the jurisdictions of his allies peacefully. This was his confidence in guaranteeing them. In addition to giving psychological comfort to these allies and improving his prestige in the alliance, he also wanted to help Alelian with his help.

In the late summer and early autumn, Aurelian finally began to march to the northern expedition. The two large corpses had a total of 40,000 troops and horses, and they were divided into two groups and marched along the northern and eastern coasts of the Mediterranean. Along the way, in addition to supporting the logistics, the "princes" of various "princes" also sent troops and horses to follow Aurelian's two large corpses and directly joining the war.

Aurelian's troops were originally elite troops with almost the same excellent equipment as the Sicilian army, and with other help, they were unstoppable. The Eastern Front successively captured the entire Syrian province and the eastern region of Asia Minor, and broke through the capital of Asia Ankara, with the troops aimed directly at Byzantium. The American army on the Western Front even advanced straight into the territory as if they were entering a no-man. In just one month, they recovered Maoritalia and killed the former governor who claimed to be the King of Maoritalia. Two months later, they had already set up troops on the border between Spain and Spain near Spain...
