Fortunately, the soldiers did not ask them to explain, and they did not even detain these spies. They just recorded their identity information and put them all on the blacklist. They will never be allowed to set foot in Yanyun County in the future!
All other items they carried were returned.
This made Dao Shanping extremely ashamed, thinking that the war had not started yet, and Japan had already lost in terms of diplomacy.
The reason why Emperor Shenzhao was so angry that he decided to completely fall out with Yanyun County was not just Xiao Chen's very 'rude' letter.
Li Wanjiang also gave him an accountability order, and his tone was quite fierce, even worse than Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen had a 'friendly' communication with him as an equal, but Li Wanjiang's tone was condescending.
Because in Li Wanjiang's eyes, Japan is still a vassal state of China, which is similar to Gao Juli and Burma.
He also regarded the so-called Emperor Shenzhao as a subordinate minister. In his words, it was as if I was teaching his son.
Emperor Shenzhao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Is it tolerable or intolerable?
He scolded the Emperor of Zhou for not working with any integrity, saying that he had just begged us to send troops to help you recover Yizhou, and it had only been a few days before Baga Yalu turned his back on us?
I also pointed you to send troops to help us fight against the Russians, but now it seems that I can’t point you to it...
In short, the consciences of both you and Xiao Chenjunchen are greatly damaged! Originally one was singing the red face and the other was singing the bad face, but now it's better, both are singing the bad face... Do you think our Great Japanese Empire is easy to bully?
If this is the case, then don't blame us for being rude. Aren't you unwilling to kill Xiao Chen?
Then it's up to us to take care of it. Didn't this hateful guy Xiao Chen not agree to the transfer of Shunfeng Port? Then we will send a fleet to capture it!
Then let’s see what the Emperor Zhou has to say.
He was furious, and he completely fell out with Xiao Chen, but he couldn't officially start a war with Da Zhou because, although Li Wanjiang's imperial edict was harshly worded, it did not mention expulsion of the Japanese garrison on Yizhou Island.
It seems that they are still afraid of the strength of our Japanese navy, so they have to leave some room.
If Li Wanjiang really dared to expel the Japanese garrison in Yizhou, then he could simply attack Yizhou!
At present, Japan still has a sizable fleet in Yizhou and an army of about 10,000. The Zhou garrison in Yizhou only has 20,000 troops, and they are all exhausted from many battles. It should be very easy to defeat them. .
After discussion, the top military officials decided that they must concentrate all their forces to capture Yanyun's Shunfeng Port and Jinsha City. If everything goes well, they can also capture Changshan City and force Xiao Chen to make peace with us. Then you can free up your hands to fight against Wanyan Pingqiu and the Ross fleet.
The military unanimously believed that the Ross Fleet was no match for the Japanese Fleet, because they had been in battle several times, but they had always failed, which showed that they were quite afraid of me.
As for Wanyan Pingqiu, even though hundreds of thousands of troops have been assembled in Buyeo City, they will not be our opponents of the Japanese Army.
Because we have now assembled an army of about 200,000 in Gaojuli. The northern part of Gaojuli is mountainous, and their cavalry in the northern Xinjiang cannot exert its mobility advantage.
As long as we stick to a few larger cities, we can cause them considerable casualties and consume their vitality.
And once you control Jinsha City, you can send troops to attack his lower back and butt, making him unable to take care of both ends. Let's see how he copes!
In short, this battle must be fought, and it must be won. Once successful, we will be able to completely control the situation in the north, and based on this, we will slowly eat away at Yanyun and Northern Xinjiang, and prepare ourselves for the future with the Russians. The strategic deployment of the decisive battle.
If we fail, our activity space in the north will be greatly reduced, and both the Russians and Wanyan Pingqiu can directly threaten their homeland!
Therefore, this war is related to the rise and fall of the empire, and we must go all out!
The morale of the army is high and the public sentiment is enthusiastic! Because they have been holding their breath and want to fight Wanyan Pingqiu to the death, so as to wash away the shame of General Xiangwu's defeat and suicide, and revive the kamikaze of our Japanese Army!
However, many generals in the navy, led by Shaoyan Mingguang, have a very pessimistic attitude towards this war, because they know how powerful and terrifying the Ross fleet is, and they also know that the Yanyun Navy is not as weak as everyone thought. We cooperated at the beginning. They have passed it and have a good understanding of their combat capabilities.
There is always an incorrect view among Japanese high-level officials. They will habitually confuse the Yanyun Navy with the Dazhou Navy.
Although the Great Zhou Navy is very weak, this does not mean that the Yanyun Navy is also weak. They are basically two different fleets, okay?
Although Xiao Chen has only lived in Yanyun for a few short years, their industrial development has already reached a considerable scale. You should really go and take a look at their shipyard!
In addition, their military industry is developing quite rapidly. Although it has not been displayed yet, we firmly believe that they already have many new weapons that we cannot match!
This is not just speculation, hot air balloons and telescopes are examples!
Not only have we not invented these two things, we can't even imitate them. If we hadn't spent huge sums of money to buy the formulas, we wouldn't have high-definition telescopes now.
As for hot air balloons, we have made a batch of imitations, but their overall performance is far inferior to others. Moreover, after so many years, their hot air balloons have probably been updated.
Moreover, they also have first-class naval generals, not one, but many, including the generals who served under the former great enemy Nanchen Zhongtian, all of whom are Japanese.
This shows that Xiao Chen is very eclectic in employing people, so he has gathered so many outstanding generals under him. Isn't this terrifying?
And how much do we know about Yan Yunwei?
The information sent back by our undercover spies is all messy work, with almost no reference value. We don't even know the approximate total strength of Yanyun County? But one thing is certain, there must be more than 30,000 people!
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. However, we don't understand Yan Yun's situation at all, but we decided to go to war with them, which is a bit too reckless.
From an overall strategic point of view, we should not start a war with Yan Yun, because this is equivalent to stretching out our hands to push Xiao Chen towards the Russians!
Emperor Shenzhao was very angry about the pessimism of Shaoyan Mingguang and others, and simply ordered them to be relieved of their posts for fear of war.
The reason why we didn't kill them all is to let them see with their own eyes how we won this war that is destined to go down in history, and then let you kneel down and commit suicide in front of our victorious soldiers!
Show your shame and show their glory.
