Section 28 Wolf's Ambition
"Sir, that will have a certain impact on our side?" After a period of adaptation, Qin Shuangying has been fully qualified for the intelligence staff role around Wufeng, and has begun to take the initiative to analyze and integrate information in all aspects for Wufeng.
After a wry smile, Wufeng stood up. Dilena had already prepared her coat, put it on for Wufeng, and rubbed her cheeks. Wufeng said: "The situation is now confusing. The two army divisions of the Empire have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. At least the speed of advance has been greatly delayed. Although it is only temporary, it is very important to the Taiping Cult. They have won at least one to two weeks, and the morale of the Imperial Army will definitely be affected. For us, it is still difficult to say whether it is beneficial or not. It is definitely a great opportunity for the Taiping Cult that is about to be inflicted. Perhaps this opportunity was created by them themselves."
"Then how should we deal with it?" Qin Shuangying looked at Wufeng with a slightly anxious look.
"The soldiers come and the generals are blocked, and the water comes and the soil is covered. Sooner or later, what should come is coming. Hehe, Taiping Sect is not a weak person. Are our Northwest athletes just soft boys? I want to see how big a trick you guys can play." Wufeng showed a mysterious smile on his lips and shook his clothes. "Okay, I'm going to the study, Shuangying, you go and inform Director Xiao Tang, as well as Kang Jianguo (Chief of Qingyang Guard Division), and Song Tianxiong came to me."
In order to deal with the upcoming war, Wufeng decided to rush to Bonan first. He handed over other matters to Xiao Tang and Su Qin, and entrusted Kang Jianguo and Song Tianxiong to guard Qingyang. The two divisions also served as reserves for the Yinchuan battle situation to deal with changes in the Yinchuan situation at any time.
Su Qin returned to Qingyang on the first day of Wufeng's departure. The negotiations on Sisro did not come as expected by Wufeng and did not make much progress. The Sisro people simply agreed not to take hostile actions, but did not recognize the legitimacy of Wufeng's control of Yinchuan Prefecture. At the same time, the two sides were in stalemate on the status of Ganlan Fortress. One side of Xisro insisted that the Wufeng's side recognize the particularity of Ganlan Fortress and demanded that the Northwest publicly recognize the independence of Ganlan Fortress and belong to the special control area of the Sisro Empire. This is something that Wufeng cannot tolerate, but both sides agreed to continue negotiations, and it is unsatisfactory to be able to reach this level.
The visit to the Mots achieved satisfactory results. The Mots' senior management agreed to continue to supply large quantities of excellent war horses in the northwest. The northwest side agreed to provide the Mots with a large amount of high-quality iron tools, including weapons. The northwest side guaranteed the supply of Mots' tea, salt and other daily necessities, and signed a secret agreement. The agreement stipulated that when either party was attacked by foreign enemies, the other party must do its best to help.
This diplomatic result made Wufeng ecstatic, which was also the main reason that prompted Wufeng to go to Bonan resolutely.
The Mots had already greatly improved their relationship with their old rival, the Sithro people last year. The two sides had reached many agreements in many aspects, but recently they had major differences on one issue. Since the Mots are nomadic peoples, there is almost no source of iron products in the territory, and they basically rely entirely on the input of foreign caravans. In the past, the input channels were mainly from Yinchuan Prefecture, and some of them were also imported from the Western Regions. The prices were relatively expensive, so they could never be satisfied.
After the relationship with the Sithro Empire improved, the Mots' senior leaders also proposed to the Sithro Empire to release iron tools. At this point, the senior leaders of the Sithro Empire always had doubts. The Mots' demands were mainly to relax weapons and obtain a large number of excellent weapons and armor, which made the Sithro people even more worried. They were worried that the Mots' combat effectiveness would be greatly improved after obtaining a large number of excellent weapons, which might pose a serious threat to the western part of the Sithro Empire. Once the relationship between the two sides deteriorated again, the Mots' cavalry with strong military strength would undoubtedly become a nightmare for the Sithro people.
In response, the Sithro people never let go, but only agreed to moderately relax civilian iron tools and to import a certain amount of weapons to the Mots every year. The Mots were extremely dissatisfied with the attitude of the Sithro people, and repeatedly asked the Sithro people to change their attitude and reconsider their request for release, but never received a satisfactory reply. It happened that the Yinchuan recovery war started at this time, until Wufeng's side completely controlled Yinchuan Prefecture. In order to deal with the threat from the north, Yinchuan's foreign commercial trade was therefore interrupted. The iron prices in the Mots increased sharply, and weapons were even more expensive, which also caused great uneasiness among the Mots.
Su Qin's visit was at this critical moment. The two sides hit it off. On the premise of getting Su Qin to ensure affordable supply and meeting the needs, the two sides had this secret agreement. Of course, Su Qin's silver bullet diplomacy among the upper Mots nobles also played a great role, making those military nobles who were already worried about the Sithro people even more happy. They all felt that the northwest was the real friend of the Mots, and Su Qin also established a good personal relationship with several of the nobles who had considerable voice in the clan.
This diplomatic result greatly resolved the threat from the Sithro Empire to Yinchuan Prefecture and the entire northwest region. It was not an exaggeration to play a role in this critical moment, and with the support of the Mots on the side, if the Sithro people want to go south and be unfavorable to the northwest, they must first consider the threat from the flanks. The Mots' cavalry that could go south forced the Sithro army that could go south to consider their own retreat at any time.
Su Qin had a good choice for visits to the countries in the Western Regions. He focused on visits to Gaochang and Wusun, and was just a general over the other three countries. Gaochang was bordered by the northwest and had weak national strength. Su Qin's visit was highly valued by the senior officials of Gaochang. The king, prime minister and crown prince all came to meet Su Qin. Su Qin also promised them that as long as they did not do anything that was unfavorable to the northwest and northern Luzon, he promised on behalf of Li Wufeng to ensure the territorial integrity of Gaochang and the safety of people's lives and property. As for Wusun, Su Qin was also received by the king who had just ascended the throne. Su Qin promised to support the other party on behalf of Wufeng, and the other party also promised not to do anything that was unfavorable to Wufeng's side.
Before leaving, Wufeng received a letter from Ling Tianfang, who was in charge of Taixuan Mansion. In the letter, he suggested that in view of the current grim situation in the east, the Jinzhou security division could be considered as a regular army, and let him go to Bonan with Wufeng to serve as a reserve for the East-Entering Cluster stationed in Bonan. Wufeng accepted Ling Tianfang's proposal, and he had this idea. The purpose of inspecting Jinzhou in the early stage was to review the combat effectiveness of the Jinzhou security division. I thought that after Bonan, I decided to make a decision immediately. On the way to Bonan, the order was also sent to Jinzhou, renamed the Jinzhou security division to the Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division, and ordered it to go to Bonan immediately, and also asked Jinzhou to immediately prepare for the construction of a security force among the reserve personnel to replace the task of leaving the troops.
Just as all sides were preparing for war in the west of the empire and the situation was about to break out, there was also a busy scene in the East Ocean, which was thousands of miles away.
A giant ship that is no less than the size of the imperial large military ship has already begun to conduct naval combat drills on the offshore of Isoban Port, Yaro Bay, under the protection of dozens of patrol boats. At the same time, on the military dock of the restricted area of Isoban Port, four giant ships of the same type are working overtime. The craftsmen sweated heavily and were warned around them. On the dock of another large port of Sikashima, about 300 nautical miles away from Isoban Castle, the same three giant ships were also working day and night under strict protection.
"Lord, the sea breeze outside is too strong, so please go back." The thin man beside him saw his lord standing motionless on the beach and staring at the east. It took more than an hour to stand, and I don't know what the resident was thinking about.
"Mori, what should we do next? "Didn't look back, letting the sea breeze blow the wide robe fly, and his long hair, which was originally combed very neatly, rose in the wind.
"Master, have you planned to defeat the Tianqiu family and the Takeno family first?" Maori Centuro, who was standing behind him, was shocked. Could it be that the lord changed his mind at this time?
"Yes, we must first settle the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. If there are the enemies behind us, our Liyuan family will not dominate the East. But as you said just now, the Tanghe people's heartland in the Central Plains is about to be in chaos. The Tanghe Empire, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, is like a big ship full of holes. If there is a slight storm, it may be overturned. If we cannot seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we will probably not be at ease until we die!" Speaking of this, Liyuan Mountain and River couldn't help but sigh to the sky at the vast sea.
Maori Century Tai also understood the troubles of his lord. After listening to his morning report, the lord sighed all day long. Although he didn't understand, he knew that it must be related to the information he reported. It was not until this moment that he realized that his lord was regretful that he could not gain some benefits from the upcoming chaos in the Tanghe Empire.
"My lord doesn't need to worry too much. According to the analysis of his subordinates, the turmoil within the Tanghe people is by no means a small fight in the past. If we observe, it may be too early to calm down in three or five years. If it doesn't work out well, it will take ten or eight years. Even then, I think the Tanghe Empire may have split into many pieces. In addition, the countries around it have been eyeing it for a long time. No one can tell what it will become, but one thing is certain, that is, it will definitely not calm down in the short term. So lord doesn't have to be too anxious, there will definitely be many opportunities." Maori Centurion was too relieved to Rihara Shanchuan Road.
"Mori, I know what you said, but it's a pity that the opportunity is really good. It's like the fat meat in front of you. People are taking action, but they have to ask you to finish a bowl of rice before eating meat. How uncomfortable is this feeling?" Rihara Shankawa also knew that before he solved the problem of several other separatist families, he had to challenge the outside world and could easily cause a dangerous situation of being attacked from both inside and outside.
"Then lord, do you mean `````??" Maori Centurion frowned too much. He knew that once his lord had some idea, it would be difficult for him to dispel his thoughts.
