Chapter 1241 Attacking the Great Zhou
April is coming to an end soon, and the two big summer wars have different results.
In Africa, the Great Xia Army once again divided into two groups, still invincible and unstoppable. Moreover, the people of South Sudan and Kenya, which had just been captured by Daxia, received relief food from the court.
Whether it is Uganda or Tanzania, the people of the two countries are not all hostile to the Great Xia Army, which provides the Great Xia Army with a basis of public opinion, so as not to fall into the ocean of people's war.
Bai Qi is obviously very experienced in the operation of food.
People in Uganda and Tanzania can learn about the disaster relief situation in South Sudan and Kenya, and they know so much. Of course, it is not accidental, and there is careful planning behind it.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo is very relieved about the African battlefield.
Something unusual is the Tubo battlefield that has already been handed over. According to the pre-war analysis, with the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing, the Tubo army is by no means an opponent. Even if they fight in the plateau area, they can defeat them in one battle.
This is not the case.
According to the battle report reported by Li Jing, behind the Tubo Dynasty, there was another force behind it. Although those who fought against the Feixiong Army were all wearing Tubo military uniforms, they were definitely not the Tubo army.
This is very interesting.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo sent an order to Li Jing that there was no need for time pressure, and the imperial court did not set a clear time limit for the Tubo War, allowing Li Jing to use troops flexibly according to the battlefield situation.
It is obviously not a good idea for the Great Xia Army to launch a general offensive before figuring out which force is the ghost floating behind Tubo. In addition, there are many mountains and mountains in the Tubo area, and the terrain is complex, and an ambush may occur at any time, so we must be more careful.
The battle of Tubo ended in a stalemate like this.
…………
In April, in addition to Daxia, the global situation has also undergone new changes.
Of course the liveliest event was in Asia, where the two great empires of Mongolia and Persia fought to the death.
At the beginning of the war, relying on surprise and a sense of death, coupled with the massacre of the city, the Mongolian cavalry once again ravaged the city-states of the Persian Empire, counting several cities in a row.
A large amount of materials and people were continuously transported back to the Mongolian Empire.
The feat of the Mongolian Western Expedition in history was repeated again. But the game is not history after all. After the unfavorable battle, the mighty Persian Empire quickly recovered and fought back.
The fight between the two sides has only just begun.
On April 10th, in order to relieve the worries of the Mongol Empire, Ouyang Shuo specially sent envoys to Hara Helin to inform Genghis Khan that during the Mongolian Expedition, Great Xia would never attack Mongolia.
Genghis Khan had a complicated look on his face, although he saw through Ouyang Shuo's plan, he had to accept this feeling, resolutely gave up his guard against Daxia, and devoted himself to the Persian War.
Because this is a conspiracy.
During the period, some Mongolian nobles were also worried that this was a deception by Daxia, and the purpose was to let the empire relax its guard and then send troops to invade. "The Han people are the most cunning and cannot be trusted."
Especially the aristocrats whose fiefdom bordered Daxia were worried all day long, fearing that the empire would withdraw the border guards and put their interests at risk.
Genghis Khan didn't think so, and said bluntly: "As the most powerful emperor in the Central Plains, Emperor Xia, who promises to keep his promises, will easily break his promises? You don't have to worry about it."
Probably among the kings, there is also sympathy for each other.
Genghis Khan was sober. Whether in terms of plundering food and materials or expanding its territory, the Western Expedition was the best choice for the Mongolian Empire.
Therefore, even if the great victory in the early stage and the seizure of a large amount of supplies have alleviated the hunger situation within the empire, Genghis Khan is still ready to continue fighting with the Persian Empire.
First, you can train troops, and second, you can also use war to support war.
For the Mongol Empire, nomadic herding was dominant and farming was underdeveloped, not to mention industry, commerce and the Industrial Revolution. Such a complex system could not be established by the empire.
If the empire wants not to be eliminated, it can only support war with war.
Only by conquering the Persian Empire, occupying the Persian city-states, and turning the Persians into slaves of the Mongol Empire, can a system for the Mongol Empire be established.
Sometimes, brutality and violence are also a way out.
Therefore, after Ouyang Shuo made the promise, Genghis Khan resolutely gave up his previous plan of grabbing Persia and shifting the empire's strategic focus to the west.
The confrontation between the two empires is likely to continue for a long time.
…………
In addition to the confrontation between the Mongol Empire and the Persian Empire, there is another place in the world that is very lively, and that is the South American continent that has been forgotten before.
As the Spanish dynasty increased its troops to Argentina, the situation in South America heated up rapidly, full of gunpowder. Just in mid-April, the Indian Empire was finally not ready to bear it any longer and took the initiative to attack the Argentine region.
The first battle gave the Indian Empire a slap in the face.
In the face of Spain's proficient musket tactics, the Indian army mainly with cold weapons was obviously difficult to parry, and suffered heavy losses in the first large-scale battle between the two sides.
The Indian Empire advocates pure warriors and wants to return to the traditions of the Indians. They must use spears, bows and arrows in their hands to defend the glory of the empire.
Unfortunately, what they tasted was a bloody lesson.
A big battle exposed the Achilles heel of the Indian Empire.
The sweetness of victory has completely aroused the Spanish dynasty's desire to conquer, and they are obviously no longer satisfied with sticking to the Argentine region.
It is reported that Spain is already planning to counterattack the Indian Empire.
At the same time, the setback of the Indian Empire on the southern front gave the Brasilia Dynasty confidence, and they agreed to cooperate with the Dawson Dynasty with little hesitation.
The purpose is to let the Dawson Dynasty support firearms and train them as musketeers.
In this way, the Dawson Dynasty was able to successfully intervene in the South American war. I am afraid that Jack would wake up laughing in his dream, so there is no reason not to agree.
With Jack's wrist, it is only a matter of time before he can control the Brasilia dynasty.
At the end of April, the Spanish dynasty and the Brasilian dynasty formally formed an alliance, determined to eat the Indian Empire together and carve it up.
Ouyang Shuo, however, saw through the tricks at a glance. On the surface, this was an alliance between the Spanish Dynasty and the Brasilia Dynasty, but in fact it was a joint effort between the Spanish Dynasty and the Dawson Dynasty.
Silver Hand is making a comprehensive deployment in South America.
Even in such a situation, the three dynasties seem to have consciously forgotten the Great Xia Ecuador County, and they are neither particularly afraid nor confronted Ecuador County head-on.
They are consciously weakening Daxia's presence in South America.
The logic behind it, of course, is the fear of Daxia's powerful strength. Both Jack and Casillas are worried that Daxia will use this to increase troops in South America and add unnecessary variables to their plans.
During this period, the Indian Empire neither asked Daxia to increase its troops, nor did it ask Daxia for help with muskets or musketeer training, and seemed to want to fight hard.
That being the case, of course Ouyang Shuo would not take the initiative to mention this matter.
In the South American battlefield, Ouyang Shuo had a lot of patience, and directly ordered the Ecuadorian Jiedu envoy, War Wolf, to lie dormant for the time being and do his best to collect intelligence on South America, including the Indian Empire.
In Ouyang Shuo's judgment, now is definitely not the time for Da Xia to intervene in South America.
…………
On May 1st, the capital, Wangcheng.
By May, the spring sowing in various places has all ended, and the wilderness has become green and full of vitality. This also means that the time for the unification of China has arrived, and it cannot be delayed any longer.
If you delay any longer, it will be the first grain harvest season, which will give the enemy a chance to breathe.
According to Ouyang Shuo's expectation, in May, the Tubo war should have been settled. In this way, Great Xia can go all out to plan the unification of China.
Now that such an accident has occurred, the war cannot be delayed.
On this day, Ouyang Shuo officially announced that the battle for unification of China would be launched immediately, and the first attack target would be the Great Zhou Dynasty. The relevant combat plan was formulated by the Military Aircraft Department as early as last winter.
The whole army was waiting for the firing of the starting gun from Ouyang Shuo.
