"King Jiaqing and King Hezhong are both princes and princes. King Jiaqing is an uncle, and King Hezhu is a nephew, so the leader of this battle should be King Jiaqing!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jiaqing has commanded the army and fought fiercely with the Spanish on the front line for more than two months. He is familiar with the situation on the front line and knows the enemy's strength and strength. He should be in charge of the coalition forces!"
"Yes, with His Royal Highness King Jiaqing in charge of the coalition forces, this battle will be won without a doubt!"
Several important ministers of the Jiaqing Kingdom were sitting in a conference room in the Wonahua Fortress, raising all their energy and expressing their opinions loudly.
Those who listened to their opinions were King Zhu Hehao of Hezhu and King Zhu Cihuan of Jiaqing, who were sitting side by side.
At this time, Zhu Cihuan was smiling and seemed to be in a happy mood - his plan had succeeded. In order to prevent the huge sum of money they had just invested in the Jiaqing Kingdom from being wasted, the investors from the United States indeed forced the King of the United States to send troops. , and more than 15,000 troops were dispatched, all of whom were regular troops who had undergone long-term training and were extremely well-equipped.
As soon as the support troops arrived, they "scared away" Don Juan Jose, who was digging parallel trenches in preparation for the siege of the Fortress of Vonahua. Now Don Juan Jose's army has withdrawn from the territory of Sonora Province and slipped to the Los Mochis Mountains in the northern part of Sinaloa Province to defend itself.
For Zhu Cihuan, the war has actually been won at this point!
His goal had never been to destroy the Legion of New Spain, but was content simply to take the provinces of Sonora and Sinaloa, and possibly Nayarit as well.
To achieve this strategic goal, we only need to confront Don Juan José between the Fortress of Vonahua and the Los Mochis Mountains for several months, until the sweltering summer, and we should be able to defeat Don Juan José. Sai forced back.
Because the United States Army and the Garching Army control the Wonahua Fortress, which is still well-equipped, and the Port of Guaymas is only 300 miles away, the logistical transfer is not difficult.
The conditions for Don Juan Jose's army stationed in the Los Mochis Mountains were not so good. The manors around the Los Mochis Mountains had been destroyed, and the New Spanish army could only be stationed in the wild. Once the rainy season arrives, diseases are likely to appear.
In addition, Don Juan Jose's logistics line was also much longer. The Los Mochis Mountains were more than 2,000 miles away from Mexico City. Although most of these areas are relatively wealthy and have a large population. But when the rainy season comes, passage will still become more difficult.
At that time, Don Juan Jose's tens of thousands of troops will be in trouble and have to retreat on their own.
Although such a victory was not very dignified, it was the most beneficial to Jiaqing Kingdom, which had a population of less than 100,000.
Zhu Cihuan's Jiaqing Kingdom couldn't stand a decisive battle in which they killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 800 self-loss losses... From the beginning of the war to the present, the Jiaqing Army, which had never really fought a decent battle, could not stand it. More than a thousand people have been lost due to various reasons!
If there really is a big battle, even if they win, the Jiaqing Kingdom will lose thousands of people!
However, he knew very well that since his nephew Zhu Hehao came to the front line, he must want to fight a decisive battle that could enhance his prestige... As for how many people died, Zhu Hehao didn't care much. After all, he With 1 million gun-wielding mobs under his command, he could completely withstand tens of thousands of casualties.
Therefore, Zhu Cihuan made arrangements before the meeting between his uncle and nephew, and asked his ministers to come forward to fight for the command authority on his behalf.
When Zhu Hehao heard the suggestion from King Jiaqing's Japanese ministers, although he still had a smile on his face, he was already extremely annoyed in his heart.
He originally thought that Zhu Cihuan was beaten to death by the Spaniards, so he hurriedly led his troops to rescue him, but he did not expect that King Jiaqing was simply "faking defeat"... Others faked defeat to deceive the enemy, but he was better , defrauding investors to increase their positions! Isn't this too treacherous? Who did you learn it from?
What's even more hateful is that King Jiaqing still relies on his old age to take over the command of the coalition forces because of his seniority... Zhu Hehao wants to hand over the command, then he might become " "Emperor Jianwen of America"!
This Zhu Cihuan... is indeed very cunning!
After several Japanese people sprayed Tufo Xingzi, Zhu Hehao slowly turned his eyes to his uncle and said calmly: "Uncle, is this what you mean?"
Zhu Cihuan smiled and said: "Actually, no matter who is the coach, we will definitely win this battle... We only need to hold on to the Wenahua Fortress and resist the enemy for a long time, so that Don Juan Jose cannot advance or retreat. When the rainy season comes, his tens of thousands of troops will definitely not be able to hold on. They will retreat by then, and Suo and Xizhou will be owned by Jiaqing. When the time comes, the lonely king will hand over Angel Castle to the United States, and the country will be named Qingguo. ?”
The word "Ga" in "Gakyung Kingdom" comes from the California colony of New Spain, while the word "kyung" comes from Gyeongju, which was established in the southern part of the original California colony (Castle Angel and the area south of it).
Now Zhu Cihuan has taken the initiative to hand over the land of Angel Fort and removed the word "jia" from the country's name, as if to show his goodwill to Zhu Hehao.
But after Jiaqing took away the "jia", there was only one "qing" left... Zhu Hehaoxin said: This is a national title! What do you want to do? Do you want to be "King Qing" or "Emperor Qing"?
But now is not the time to argue about status with Zhu Cihuan, because Zhu Hehao cannot fight the current battle according to the wishes of his extremely treacherous uncle.
Therefore, Zhu Hehao could not let Zhu Cihuan get away with it, so he brought the topic back to combat issues.
"Don Juan Jose can't delay it, and neither can we!" Zhu Hehao said, "Uncle, the reason why my nephew wants to personally lead an army to help is because this battle must be fought quickly and cannot be delayed for a long time. . Because the population and financial resources of the Kingdom of New Spain are far greater than those of our two families! Once the war lasts, Don Juan Jose will fully mobilize the national power! By then, it will not be tens of thousands of New Spanish troops fighting with us, but ten Ten thousand or two hundred thousand enemies.
In addition, my nephew also received news that the two safari tribes on the Great Plains of North New Zealand, the Soviets and the Apaches, had been won over by the French and formed a coalition of France, the Soviet Union, and the Apaches. Soon, they We are going west to the Dashi Mountains.
By then my nephew will lead his troops eastward to fight them to the death, so he cannot stay in Sonora for long! "
Zhu Hehao did not completely lie. He was indeed planning to lead his troops eastward, but not to resist the French, Soviet, and Apache coalition forces, but to grab the gold from the Mississippi River!
"Then..." Zhu Cihuan asked, "How can the wise nephew defeat the enemy on both sides?"
Zhu Hehao said: "Split the troops into two groups. My nephew led the United States Army to press forward from the front and seek a decisive battle in the Los Mochis Mountains! The emperor's handsome army detoured from the mountainous area east of the Los Mochis Mountains and interspersed with the New Spanish Army. Behind it, go straight into Guasavi Castle!"
"What?" Zhu Cihuan was stunned by the plan proposed by his nephew, "Xiannephew, you want fifteen thousand men to defeat Don Juan Jose's more than twenty thousand men?"
Zhu Hehao nodded and said: "The gap is not big... There is an 80% chance of winning! Uncle Emperor, your Jiaqing army is not good at formation fighting, but is good at sudden attacks, wandering battles and night battles, so there is no need to participate in the Spanish war." It’s a decisive battle... This way the casualties won’t be too great, so there’s no problem, right?”
no problem?
Zhu Cihuan frowned and said to himself: Don Juan Jose was a famous European general. He joined the army with his hair tied and fought for half his life. Although he did not have any great achievements, he had seen a lot of bloodshed on the European battlefield. His more than 20,000 people really knew how to do it. Let your more than 10,000 people defeat you? Don't let Don Juan Jose be defeated then!
Zhu Hehao glanced at his uncle, then glanced at a room full of Japanese samurai, and said calmly: "Don't worry, my nephew is sure of victory... But after winning this battle, my nephew We are about to lead the army north to fight the French, Soviet, and Apache coalition forces. Uncle Lao and you will take care of the matter in the south."
