April was coming to an end, but the two wars that Great Xia had with the outside world had different results.
In Africa, the Great Xia army was once again divided into two groups, but they were still unstoppable. In addition, the people of South Sudan and Kenya, which had just been conquered by Great Xia, received relief food from the imperial court.
Be it Uganda or Tanzania, the people of the two countries did not completely hate the Great Xia army. This provided the Great Xia army with a basis of public opinion and did not fall into the sea of people's war.
Bai Qi was obviously very experienced in the operation of food.
It was certainly not a coincidence that the people of Uganda and Tanzania were able to know about the disaster relief situation in South Sudan and Kenya. There was a careful plan behind it.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo was very assured about the battlefield in Africa.
What was unusual was the battlefield of Tubo that had already started fighting. According to the analysis before the war, with the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing, the Tubo army was definitely not a match for them. Even if they fought in the highlands, they could still defeat them in one battle.
However, the real situation was not like that.
According to the battle report from Li Jing, there was a hidden force behind the Tubo Dynasty. Although those who fought with the Flying Bear Army were wearing Tubo uniforms, they were definitely not the Tubo army.
This was very interesting.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo ordered Li Jing that there was no need for time pressure. The imperial court did not set a clear time limit for the Tubo war. Li Jing was allowed to use his troops flexibly according to the situation on the battlefield.
It was obviously not a good idea for the Great Xia army to rashly launch an all-out attack before figuring out which force was behind the Tubo army. Moreover, there were many towering mountains and lofty ridges in the Tubo region, and the terrain was complicated. They could be ambushed at any time, so they had to be even more careful.
The Tubo war was in a stalemate just like that.
…
In April, apart from Great Xia, there were new changes in the global situation.
Of course, the most lively place was the Asian region, where there was a life-and-death battle between the Mongolian and Persian empires.
Right at the start of the battle, they relied on the element of surprise and their determination to fight to the death. Coupled with their act of massacring the cities, the Mongolian cavaliers ravaged the cities of the Persian Empire again and took down several cities.
A large number of resources and people were continuously transported back to the Mongolian Empire.
The magnificent feat of the Mongolian expedition in history was repeated again. However, the game was not history. After losing the battle, the powerful Persian Empire quickly recovered and fought back.
The battle between the two sides had just begun.
On the tenth day of the fourth month, in order to relieve the Mongolian Empire of their worries, Ouyang Shuo specially sent a messenger to Hala Khorin to inform Genghis Khan that Great Xia would not attack Mongolia during the period of the Mongolian Empire's westward expedition.
When Genghis Khan received the news, he had a complicated expression on his face. Although he had seen through Ouyang Shuo's plan, he had no choice but to accept this favor. He decisively gave up his guard against Great Xia and threw himself into the battle of Persia.
Because this was an overt plot.
During this period of time, some of the Mongolian nobles were worried that this was a ploy by Great Xia. Their goal was to make the empire lower its guard and then send troops to invade. "The Han people are the most cunning and cannot be trusted."
This was especially so for the nobles whose fiefs bordered Great Xia. They were constantly on tenterhooks, afraid that the empire would withdraw their border guards and put their interests in danger.
Genghis Khan, however, did not think so. He said bluntly, "As the most powerful monarch of the Central Plains, Emperor Xia's words carry enormous weight. How could he easily go back on his word? You don't have to worry. "
Between Kings, there should be some form of appreciation.
Genghis Khan was clear-headed. Whether it was in terms of plundering rations or expanding their territory, to the Mongolian Empire, a westward expedition was the best choice.
Therefore, even if they won a great victory in the early stages and seized a large amount of resources, which had already alleviated the hunger within the empire, Genghis Khan was still prepared to continue fighting against the Persian Empire.
Firstly, he could train his troops. Secondly, he could use war to nurture war.
To the Mongolian Empire, they were mainly nomadic and their agriculture was underdeveloped. There was no need to talk about industry, commerce, or industrial revolution. It was impossible for the empire to establish such a complicated system.
If the empire did not want to be eliminated, it could only nurture war through war.
Only by conquering the Persian Empire, occupying the Persian states, and turning the Persians into slaves of the Mongolian Empire, would they be able to establish a system that would allow the Mongolian Empire to have a foothold.
Sometimes, barbarism and violence were also a way out.
Therefore, after Ouyang Shuo made his promise, Genghis Khan decisively gave up on his plan to plunder and leave in Persia. He shifted the strategic focus of the empire to the west.
The confrontation between the two empires would probably continue for a long time.
… …
Other than the confrontation between the Mongolian Empire and the Persian Empire, there was another place in the world that was very lively. It was the continent of South America that had been forgotten by everyone.
As the Spanish Dynasty increased their troops in the Argentine region, the situation in South America quickly heated up, and the smell of gunpowder was thick. In mid-April, the Indian Empire finally decided not to endure any longer and took the initiative to attack the Argentine region.
In the first battle, the Indian Empire gave the Indian Empire a severe warning.
In the face of the skilled Spanish firearms tactics, the Indian army, which mainly relied on cold weapons, was obviously unable to resist. In the first large-scale battle between the two sides, they suffered heavy losses.
The Indian Empire advocated pure warriors and wanted to return to the Indian tradition. They wanted to use the spears and bows in their hands to defend the glory of the empire.
Unfortunately, what they tasted was a bloody lesson.
A major battle had undoubtedly exposed the fatal weakness of the Indian Empire.
The sweetness of victory had completely aroused the desire to conquer in the bones of the Spanish Dynasty. They were obviously no longer satisfied with defending the Argentine region.
It was reported that the Spanish were already planning to counterattack the Indian Empire.
At the same time, the setback of the Indian Empire on the southern front had given the Brasilia Dynasty confidence. They agreed to cooperate with the Dawson Dynasty almost without hesitation.
The purpose was to let the Dawson Dynasty provide them with firearms and train them with gunmen.
In this way, the Dawson Dynasty would be able to smoothly intervene in the war in South America. Jack would probably wake up laughing in his dreams. There was no reason for him to refuse.
Given Jack's ability, it was only a matter of time before he controlled the Brasilia Dynasty.
At the end of April, the Spanish Dynasty and the Brasilia Dynasty officially formed an alliance, determined to eat up the Indian Empire together and divide it up.
Ouyang Shuo, however, saw through the trick at a glance. On the surface, it seemed to be an alliance between the Spanish Dynasty and the Brasilia Dynasty, but in reality, it was an alliance between the Spanish Dynasty and the Dawson Dynasty.
The Silver Hand was fully planning for South America.
Even under such circumstances, the three dynasties seemed to have consciously forgotten about the Great Xia Dynasty. They were neither particularly afraid of the Great Xia Dynasty, nor did they confront it head-on.
They were consciously weakening the presence of the Great Xia in South America.
The logic behind this was, of course, fear of the powerful strength of the Great Xia. Both Jack and Casillas were worried that the Great Xia would use this opportunity to send more troops to South America, adding unnecessary variables to their plans.
During this period, the Indian Empire neither asked for more troops from the Great Xia Dynasty, nor did they ask for help in firearms or musketeer training. It seemed that they still wanted to resist.
Since this was the case, Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention this matter.
In the South American battlefield, Ouyang Shuo had plenty of patience. He directly ordered the Ergua Provincial Governor, Wolf Warrior, to lie low for the time being and gather intelligence in South America, including the Indian Empire.
According to Ouyang Shuo's judgment, this was definitely not the time for the Great Xia to intervene in South America.
...
1st of May, King City, Jingshi.
By the end of May, the spring sowing had already ended, and the wilderness had become lush green and full of vitality. This also meant that the time for the war to unify China had arrived, and it couldn't be delayed any longer.
If it was delayed any longer, it would be the first harvest season, which would give the enemy a chance to catch their breath.
According to Ouyang Shuo's expectations, by the end of May, the Tubo War should have been settled. In this way, the Great Xia Dynasty could go all out and plan for the war to unify China.
Now that such an unforeseen event had occurred, the war couldn't be delayed any longer.
On this day, Ouyang Shuo officially announced that the war to unify China would begin immediately, and the first target would be the Great Zhou Dynasty. The relevant battle plan had already been formulated by the Grand Council last winter.
The entire army was on standby, waiting for Ouyang Shuo's signal.
