"From the looks of it, Great Xia is taking the opportunity to attack Kyushu Island. How should we deal with it?"
At this point, the Great Xia's true intentions were clear. They wanted to use this conflict to grab hold of the Great Zhou Dynasty's weakness and drive them out of Japan in one fell swoop.
If Great Xia were to realize their intentions, Great Zhou would really be trapped alive.
"How sinister!"
Di Chen didn't know when the Great Xia Dynasty had started to play such tricks. What made Di Chen even more worried was that Great Zhou didn't have a teleportation portal in Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island.
Once Great Xia attacked, Great Zhou wouldn't be able to resist.
There were only two options for Great Zhou. They could either give up the two islands or send more troops to fight a real battle with Great Xia. However, they might not be able to make it in time to send more troops.
Di Chen thought about it and finally gritted his teeth. "Retreat!"
"Retreat?" Absolute Elegance was surprised.
"That's right." Di Chen nodded. "Since we can't defend them, let's retreat in advance. I want to see how Great Xia is going to make a move against these two defenseless islands. How will they fool the ordinary players? "
Absolute Elegance was silent. Di Chen's move was a last resort.
No matter what, Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island couldn't be protected. Once Great Xia occupied the two islands, they could rely on Korea and Japan, and then join forces with Yizhou Island to seal Great Zhou in the first island chain.
"The future is bleak!"
Absolute Elegance vaguely saw through Great Xia's intentions. First, they would slowly cut off Great Zhou's branches from the periphery, cutting off their economic lifeline, and then kill them in one blow.
How would Great Zhou deal with such a patient and cunning hunter?!
…
Just as the players in the China region were discussing, there was a new development.
Because the Great Zhou Dynasty had evacuated overnight, the imperial guards who had advanced into Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island had almost effortlessly seized the two islands and completed the occupation of the two islands. Seeing that Di Chen was so tactful, the Great Xia fleet that was wandering around the periphery didn't make things difficult for the rest of the Handan fleet and let them leave.
Just like that, the storm dissipated, making everyone's jaw drop.
Di Chen had suffered a loss, so naturally, he wasn't willing to let the matter rest. He arranged for someone to complain on the forum as the victim, saying that the Xia Kingdom was clearly stirring up trouble and not letting the Huaxia Region have peace.
"His wild ambition is as clear as day. I hope the whole world will join hands to fight him!" Di Chen said.
However, with Violet's press conference in front of him, Di Chen's tearful complaints had little effect. All he did was provoke a round of ridicule. Some people even joked, "Does Di Chen mean that he thinks the Wilderness is peaceful?! Since when did the troublemaking [Yan Huang Alliance] suddenly turn into a little wife who only knows how to be bullied? "
"Haha …"
For a moment, roars of laughter could be heard.
For the Chinese players, as long as the two sides didn't start an all-out war, it wasn't a big deal. Even if a war really broke out, as long as it didn't drag on for too long and affect the overall strength of the Huaxia region, they wouldn't worry too much.
People are selfish.
It was a pity that Di Chen seemed to have forgotten this point. He was only bringing disgrace upon himself.
…
On the 18th of September, the Xia Kingdom's disposal plan for Kyushu and Shikoku was released.
Ouyang Shuo decided to use Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honzhou as the foundation to upgrade the previously established Yingzhou Prefecture to Yingzhou Province, becoming the second province of the Xia Kingdom in the north.
The former Yingzhou Prefectural Governor, Hai Rui, was immediately promoted to Yingzhou Governor.
Apart from the Governor, the appointment and dismissal of government officials would be handled by the Cabinet and the Office of Personnel. At the moment, the Xia Kingdom didn't lack talents. There were plenty of historical talents for them to choose from. One by one, they would be promoted to Prefectural Governor or other important officials.
Soon, Yingzhou Province would be on the right track.
At first, Ouyang Shuo wanted to take advantage of the situation and transfer Hai Rui to the newly upgraded Censorate as the Deputy Censor. This would further strengthen the Censorate's lineup and form a deterrent.
For Hai Rui, this was considered a high promotion.
However, after considering that the Censorate already had Wei Zheng and Bao Zheng, two iron masks, if they were to be transferred to Hai Rui, it would be too much. It would also easily cause the officials to be suspicious and affect their morale.
Moreover, putting the Iron Masked people together might not be able to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. On the contrary, with Wei Zheng and Hai Rui's personalities, they weren't easy to get along with. If they were to be together, it might have an opposite effect.
After some thought, Ouyang Shuo finally gave up.
At the same time that Yingzhou Province was established, the Imperial Guards didn't stay on the two islands. After the Yingzhou Corps was transferred to the Yingzhou Corps, they immediately headed north and arrived at the Northern Border Province on a warship. They were making preparations for the upcoming war against the Jin Kingdom.
If it wasn't for attacking the Jin Kingdom, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't have mobilized the Imperial Guards with such great fanfare. Ignoring everything else, just the teleportation cost was 700,000 gold coins.
In order to destroy the Jin Kingdom, Ouyang Shuo had put in a lot of effort.
Due to Kangxi's frequent interactions with the Jin Kingdom the moment he appeared in the wilderness, Ouyang Shuo realized that the war against the Jin Kingdom could be brought forward. Furthermore, it needed to be done quickly.
"There might be changes if we delay!"
No one knew what would happen in the sixth year of Gaia.
One thing was certain. Gaia's restrictions on the NPC dynasties would only become weaker. In the future, there would be more room for the Qing Dynasty to play.
At present, the Qing Dynasty was only providing weapons and equipment. If they were to directly participate in the war, it would be a real headache.
Since the Qing Dynasty was so restless, Ouyang Shuo wouldn't wait any longer.
As the saying goes, "When it's time to strike, strike." The war between Xia and the Jin Kingdom had officially begun. The main force to attack the Jin Kingdom was the Imperial Guards led by Huo Qubing and the Northern Border Army led by Yue Fei. There were a total of 700,000 soldiers.
Speaking of this, there was a need to introduce the general situation of the Jin Kingdom.
The Jin Kingdom in the wilderness had a population of about six million, all of whom were Jurchen. There were hundreds of tribes of various sizes. Their military system was a combination of military and civilian.
A commander was a chiliarch, and a commander was a centurion.
During the reign of Wanyan Aguda, Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom used 300 households as a strategy, and 10 strategies to achieve a fierce peace. Although the name was different, it was similar to the Mongolian military system.
Similarly, the Jin Kingdom's army was mainly cavalry, followed by infantry. The cavalry had many horses and was used to wearing heavy armor. Other than cold weapons, they also used cannons, iron cannons, flintlocks, and other firearms.
Like the Mongolians, all the adult men of the Jurchen race were warriors. They were usually engaged in production and participated in battles during the war. They were self-sufficient in weapons and food.
Therefore, based on the total population of the Jin Kingdom, there were about one million soldiers that could be deployed. Compared to the one in ten soldiers in the Huaxia region, one in six soldiers was already a terrifying number.
Against such a Jin Kingdom, it wouldn't be easy to destroy it.
