In the Golden City of the Kingdom of Zhao, King Su Xionggao of Zhao sat on the general platform.
He watched as the Zhao army below carried the military flag, carried the fire and fired the gun, walked in neat steps through the commanding platform, and headed for the battlefield along the east gate of the Golden City.
The busy autumn harvest has ended, and the country of Zhao has entered a time of harvest again.
The fertile black soil, even though the weed seeds in the field have not been cleared away, there are still some tree roots and pebbles in the field.
But growing crops like corn and potatoes, which are relatively solid, still yields exciting results.
There is no need to delay the farming season. If the crops in the fields are not harvested when the weather is sunny, the crops in the fields will be watered by rain during the autumn rainy season and will soon sprout and rot.
While Zhao Jun is responsible for harvesting state-owned land, they also need to help the old, weak, sick and disabled in the country harvest crops.
As a typical farming civilization, Zhao State will not start a war before the grain is harvested.
Zhao Guo has already taken the initiative in the war, and he will not take the initiative to start a war.
The natives will not take the initiative to attack Zhao State. They have been frightened and know that they cannot be defeated.
There were a large number of indigenous tribes between the British colony and Zhao State.
The purpose of the English is to use the natives to consume Zhao's strength, and they will never choose to take the initiative to attack.
The Imperial Navy of Great China was showing its power in Europe, and Fujian showed great strength, forcing European countries to put aside their differences and fight together.
The British were afraid of the State of Zhao, but they did not dare to really anger the State of Zhao.
King Zhao Su Xiong would also like to thank Emperor Su He of the Great China Empire and King Zhang Yuliang of Fujian.
Without the performance of these two people, Zhao Guo might have been caught in the flames of war long ago and would not have been so fully prepared.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong looked at the generals in the audience. Most of the troops had finished the military parade, leaving only the last ace cavalry.
He also immediately put on his armor, rode a fine war horse imported from the empire, and picked up a slender cavalry musket.
King Zhao Su Xiong rode his horse and came directly to the front of the cavalry formation. He led the cavalry across the general stand.
On the street in the distance, there were rows of people from Zhao State standing.
They saw Zhao's army marching eastward and shouted the word "victory" to see off the army.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong led the last cavalry to leave the Golden City.
The crown prince Su Jinghong supervised the country and handled the daily affairs of Zhao.
King Zhao Su Xiong looked at the carriage following him.
This carriage is very unusual. There is a very expensive wireless telegraph machine on it.
It was precisely because of the wireless telegraph that he could rest assured that his son Su Jinghong would supervise the country.
Many merchants in the empire carried wireless telegraph machines and traveled around the major ports of Zhao.
The most outstanding thing about Zhao State is that it is very rich.
There are many businessmen who have gone bankrupt or are greedy for gold.
Even if it is expressly prohibited by the empire, selling telegraph machines is not allowed.
But a ban cannot stop the greed of businessmen.
King Su Xiong of Zhao was willing to pay a high price to buy it. The overall number of telegraph machines was relatively small, but important personnel in Zhao State all had a telegraph machine.
Even if he is on the front line, he can control the situation in Zhao at any time.
This is why King Zhao Su Xiong did not hesitate at all and directly led his troops to the east.
He immediately sent a telegram.
[King Zhao Su Xiong: I have officially marched eastwards.
This war will lay the foundation for Zhao State and win at least thirty years of stability. 】
[King Su Hu of Wei: Brother, fight this battle seriously. Brother, I will provide you with the necessary help. 】
[King Cao Li Dazhuang: May King Zhao win with his banner. 】
[King Qi Sushan: May King Zhao win with his banner. 】
Zhao Wang Su Xiong looked at the telegram he received. Only his younger brother Su Hu really hoped that he would win the battle.
The fleet he gave to his brother will also fly the flag of Zhao at the appropriate time and attack the weak areas of the English.
As for the others, they just said some words of blessing for the sake of face, but King Zhao Su Xiong did not take them seriously.
Xiang Wang Su Zhenxing did not join their group chat.
The country of Xiang is already in turmoil, and before he has real power, they, the old kings, will not let this newcomer join.
The same is true for Siming, the Duke of Yan State.
He must prove his strength, at least withstand their pressure, before he can be recognized.
…………………………
The roar of artillery continued, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong held the telescope with both hands and looked at the battlefield in the distance.
Zhao Jun used cavalry drives and other methods to gather scattered indigenous tribes.
The indigenous tribes were scattered, and it would take a long time for Zhao Jun to clear them out.
When they gathered together, it was the time for Zhao Jun's artillery carnival.
Artillery loaded with explosive shells prefers enemies that are densely packed together.
For the first time, the native tribes experienced saturation bombardment by artillery.
Even under the cover of the rumbling explosions, screams could not be heard.
The quality of Zhao Jun's artillery shells was not up to standard, and very few people were killed. Most of them had mutilated limbs or injured internal organs.
Their screams and wails made the already frightened indigenous tribes even more frightened.
When they saw the Zhao soldiers around them, they looked extremely panicked.
When King Zhao Su Xiong saw this, he put down his telescope. The outcome of the war had been determined and there was no need to continue observing.
The only function of these ragtag indigenous tribes is to train new soldiers.
King Zhao Su Xiong saw many new soldiers. They saw the cruel scene of war for the first time.
Some people turned pale and their bodies were trembling.
Youyin couldn't bear it any longer, so he arched his body and started to vomit.
King Zhao Su Xiong has seen too much about the performance of new recruits when they first enter the battlefield. These are very common phenomena.
Don't look at these great guys who are not used to it now. After being trained in several wars, they are the elites who are full of vigor and vitality.
Soldiers who have adjusted their mentality can quickly adapt to the battlefield environment.
The vast majority of soldiers who cannot adjust their mentality are buried in the battlefield, and they do not need to adjust their mentality.
After the main battlefield was fought, King Zhao Su Xiong ordered the pioneering regiment to attack and wipe out the remaining indigenous tribes.
If the indigenous tribes still retain a certain strength, then expel them to the north.
There were not many young people left in the indigenous tribe. They attacked the village in one fell swoop and killed all the indigenous people who dared to resist.
King Zhao Su Xiong knew that after he issued this order, the pioneering group would act as executioners and eliminate each indigenous tribe.
He can decide the fate of these natives by adjusting the exchange method of bounties and merits of the pioneering group.
If you choose to exchange your head for meritorious deeds, few natives will survive.
But these natives are high-quality slaves, and King Zhao Su Xiong will definitely not eliminate them all.
Young and strong native men and women who are healthy and obedient can survive.
These natives must be full of hatred for the pioneer group.
The natives who have integrated into Zhao State will also be saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, and hate the army of killers on the front line.
This is why King Zhao Su Xiong does not let Zhao Jun do these dirty jobs.
But the pioneering group does not belong to Zhao State and can be discarded at any time.
The war is coming to an end, and some troops are cleaning up the mess. Most of the troops have repacked their bags and headed to the river bank to wait for the arrival of the ships.
There is no waterway connection between the mainland of Zhao and the water system connecting the Five Great Lakes.
King Zhao Su Xiong sent craftsmen from the shipyard to build a workshop next to the dock with the already made parts and began to assemble the river cargo ship.
Next, water transportation will be the main focus, and the army can also receive a steady stream of supplies through water transportation.
The Zhao army will go all the way east and attack the colony that the English have operated for many years.
The moment Zhao Wang Su Xiong boarded the ship, he gave an order to the navy far away in Wei State that they could attack the weak points of the English colony by sea.
Zhao Guo wanted to eliminate the indigenous tribes, so they didn't need to prepare for such a long time.
The purpose of this Eastern Expedition was the British colony.
The indigenous tribes just blocked Zhao's marching path, so they simply wiped out all the indigenous tribes along the way.
After eliminating the main force of the large tribes, the many loose tribes in midsummer only need to be handed over to the pioneering group to slowly clean up.
The British colonial army is the real backbone.
King Zhao Su Xiong looked down upon them, but he could not deny that these people were also an army with firearms.
…………………………
Zhao Jun marched eastwards, so many people felt that the sword hanging above their heads disappeared.
Because Zhao State has gold mines, the country is extremely wealthy and can purchase food and weapons from abroad.
Zhao can arm more troops, and its overall strength is the strongest in America.
Zhao State mobilized most of its troops to march eastward, which was an excellent window period for other cases.
They all want to expand their power when Zhao Guo has no time to take care of him.
Following Zhao Guo's actions, the smoke of gunpowder spread rapidly to the surrounding areas of the American continent.
Yang Tenghu was relieved when he heard that Zhao Guo had officially launched his eastern expedition.
Zhao Guo was on an eastward expedition and had no time to take care of him.
The country of Xiang was in chaos, and there was no time for him to take care of it.
He could finally bring out the big killer weapon he had mastered.
Yang Tenghu came to the secret military camp, where there was an army he had built with a lot of money.
Walking into the military camp, there is a thick 110 mm caliber army gun.
The thick barrel is mounted on a gun mount. There is a bearing in the middle of the gun mount and two huge rubber tires on both sides.
This cannon weighed two to three tons, and it required several horses to work together to drag the cannon.
The empire and other vassal states strictly restricted the possession of artillery by pioneering regiments.
They just want to limit the strength of the pioneering group and prevent them from having a huge impact on neighboring countries.
Money can make you go round. The empire and the vassal states in the Americas are restricted, but the vassal states in Europe are not restricted.
The Yang family has a very large network of connections. This is a second-hand army gun they purchased from the Fujian country and was eliminated by the Fujian army.
These guns were transported from Europe and came to Yang Tenghu through the canal.
The distance is closer than the one shipped from the empire.
Yang Tenghu didn't dare to expose himself before, he was just afraid that everyone would unite and besiege him.
Not only did the pioneering group want to unite, but Zhao Guo couldn't tolerate this unstable factor.
Now the pressure from Zhao Guo suddenly disappeared.
This made Yang Tenghu realize that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had arrived.
The artillery he has hidden deep can officially play a role on the battlefield.
Yang Tenghu's current opponents only have two people left.
They all have profound backgrounds, their own strengths are similar, and they are restrained in pairs. It is difficult to break through the current situation by relying only on conventional force.
But the God of War Artillery joined the battlefield, and the situation immediately changed dramatically.
Even the elite of the empire could not withstand prolonged artillery bombardment.
The ragtag group of pioneers had never seen artillery on the battlefield before.
After they saw the power of artillery, their morale immediately collapsed.
The middle and lower levels of the pioneering group chose to surrender one after another.
Their boss didn't get the artillery, but the other party did, and their strength was clear at a glance.
Yang Tenghu looked at the enemy commander's flag that had fallen to the ground and was riddled with holes.
A large number of enemies were frightened by the artillery and chose to surrender.
He knew that he had become a winner and the undisputed overlord of this area.
…………………………
Miao Ming looked at the rebels in front of him and ate melon seeds leisurely.
The battle between the two armies was tense, but he seemed extremely relaxed.
There was a big gap between the strength of the rebels and him. After suppressing the rebels, he chose to support the rebels and respect themselves.
His men hid in the trenches and occasionally fired a few shots into the rebel positions.
Most of the time, firecrackers are lit in iron barrels, disguised as the sound of muskets.
Miao Ming looked at the junior official who had taken refuge with him and asked, "Ruan Wen, how is the situation in the country now?"
Ruan Wen replied respectfully: "Master Miao, because the old king passed away, these rebels went crazy and attacked the royal army with all their strength.
Now that the royal family is retreating steadily, it is obvious that it cannot hold on.
The leader of the country, Su Zhenxing, issued a decree to allow officers and soldiers from all over the country to come to Beijing to serve the king. "
Ruan Wen introduced in detail the information he learned through hard work.
As a native of Jiaozhi, he was forcibly immigrated to Xiangguo when he was young.
He aspired to become an official, but there was no way to rise in Xiangguo.
Only pure Han people can continue to gain promotion. They, the naturalized Han people, always have an invisible ceiling.
Ruan Wen had seen Miao Ming's strength, and he immediately took refuge in Miao Ming, who had no strength at all in government affairs.
After Miao Ming heard this, he immediately shot the red flare in his hand into the sky.
This is the signal flare to launch a general offensive.
The opposing rebels were still as lazy as before, but they suddenly suffered intensive firepower, and their formation immediately collapsed.
Miao Ming's elite men divided the rebels into pieces, and it was only a matter of time before the rebels were defeated.
He pointed in the direction of the capital and said in a sad voice: "The king is suffering. As a loyal minister of the state of Xiang, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? I must lead troops to the capital to help the king."
When Miao Ming said this, the plot of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" appeared in his mind.
Without understanding the attitude of the Dahua Empire.
He can only become one of the princes, like Prime Minister Cao, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.
Miao Ming had been recharging his energy for a long time, and he also obtained a large number of weapons that had been eliminated by the imperial military through the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.
His men had high morale and advanced weapons, making them unstoppable along the way.
…………………………
King Cao Li Dazhuang looked at the tangled expression of General Kong Erniu.
He slapped the table and said: "Why are you so stubborn and don't know how to adapt?
When did I say that I would attack Qi State immediately?
Although there are a large number of minerals in the mountainous areas of Qi State, especially the reserves of saltpeter mines, which really makes me envious.
But now that the Three Kingdoms have become a powerful force, it is not suitable for us to go to war.
But it can send a pioneering group, and the empire can send a pioneering group to stir up trouble in the American continent.
Cao Jun took off his military uniform and announced to the outside world that he was a pioneer regiment.
The pioneering group had no certificate, so who knew it was a fake pioneering group.
It is normal for Kaikai to be powerful and seize the territory of Qi State.
Qi State can't even defeat the pioneering group, that's because they are too useless. "
Kong Erniu, the great general of Cao State, immediately bowed and said: "I understand your Majesty's intention.
I will go and make arrangements now, and I will definitely get this thing done. "(End of chapter)
