Chapter 981: Changes in the Central Plains
December 12, Auckland City.
After receiving the old man's reply, Ouyang Shuo finally signed the attachment agreement.
According to the agreement, Jansen was appointed as the governor of Oakland of the Daxia Dynasty, and enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in other affairs except politics, military affairs and diplomacy which were under the control of Daxia.
Wellington, the royal city of New Zealand, has not been captured by Daxia, nor is it under the control of Jansen, so this appointment is only for Jansen's territory - the Oakland area.
Johnson is also the most special governor of the Great Xia Dynasty, a regional governor, not a provincial governor.
Correspondingly, the Great Xia Dynasty is also obliged to defend the security of New Zealand.
Ouyang Shuo complied with the development of the situation and formally renamed the Xingzhou Fleet led by Yan Huoyao to the Indian Ocean Fleet to enhance the fleet's strategic vision and at the same time demonstrate the Great Xia Dynasty's determination to attack the Indian Ocean.
In order to protect the maritime safety of the Auckland area and prevent it from being harassed by the Javanese Padang Fleet, Ouyang Shuo decided to move the Fifth Formation of the Indian Ocean Fleet to defend Auckland.
By the way, you can also monitor Australia, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In terms of military affairs, the existing territorial army in Auckland will also be reorganized into the Auckland Corps at an appropriate time, which will be placed under the leadership of the Privy Council and the Military Aircraft Division. Of course, the candidate for the head of the corps is still recommended by Jason.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Shuo and Jason attended a press conference to announce the news. Soon, the news spread around the world like a hurricane, causing an uproar.
"6666, Da Xia is so good, he can even accept younger brothers from abroad, well done!"
Players in the Chinese region are naturally proud. For the Chinese, the Great Xia conquered the city of Oakland in the Western camp this time, which is more powerful than winning Morocco and Somalia.
The domestic media even reported on it extensively, and it was a milestone event on the spot.
This is a kind of cultural self-confidence, but also a kind of cultural inferiority complex.
"Big summer hurricanes are blowing towards the western world, and winter is coming."
European and American players are very unhappy, their mouths are full of sour taste, and they are quite dissatisfied with William, Jack and other Western overlords in their words, feeling ashamed.
Without exception, the western media did not report the matter extensively, but only briefly mentioned the news in a small corner, obviously not wanting to publicize it for Daxia.
The Australian lord Avila got the news, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What is this, the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond?"
With the garrison of the Great Xia in New Zealand, the future of Australia may become one of the battlefields of East and West wrestling. This is really not good news for Avila.
"It's hard!"
To survive in the cracks of a big country, what is tested is the political wisdom of the lord.
The New Zealand players have the most complicated mood. On the one hand, they have an instinctive resistance to the surrender of Auckland City to the Great Xia Dynasty.
On the other hand, because of Daxia's protection, they suddenly felt very at ease.
This kind of ambivalence is really impossible to tell people.
…………
City in the sky, a small courtyard with no name.
[Silver Hand] The mysterious [No. 3] lives in this small courtyard. When he learned that the Oakland area is attached to Daxia, [No. 3]'s eyes flickered, "The little monkey jumped out of the cage."
The matter of the Johnson family was planned by 【No. 3】in the first place.
Thinking of something, [No. 3] glanced at the small courtyard in the east, and muttered to himself: "Old fox, what role do you play in this matter? It's getting more and more interesting."
*************
On December 13th, Ouyang Shuo sent Shenwuwei directly from Oakland back to Shanhai City, while the Royal Fleet returned alone. It is estimated that they will not be able to return to Beihai Port until mid-January of the fifth year of Gaia.
Summer Palace, Royal Study Room.
Ouyang Shuo asked Tsing Yi: "I'm not here this month, what's the big deal for the court?" It's inconvenient to communicate on ocean voyages, except for urgent mail and reports to the residence, Ouyang Shuo has almost lost contact with the country.
Tsing Yi thought for a while, and decided to report her worries first, and then her good news.
"Just a week ago, the southern province of Anhui was jointly taken down by the [Yanhuang League]."
Ouyang Shuo frowned, "What's going on?"
There is no Ouyang Shuo in China, the past month can be described as changing.
The Great War of the Century has just ended, and the Great Xia Dynasty is busy recuperating. The [Yanhuang League] is gearing up and constantly expanding its army in an attempt to fight against the increasingly powerful Great Xia.
Anyone would think that there would be no more wars in Gaia's China region in the past four years.
Not long after Ouyang Shuo went out to sea, the wilderness, which had just subsided the flames of war, fought against iron horses again, and it was the increasingly depressed [Yanhuang League] who took the initiative to provoke the war.
On November 13th, not long after Ouyang Shuo left Xingzhou County, the [Yanhuang League] organized a coalition of 300,000 troops, led by three famous generals Wu Qi, Lian Po, and Tian Dan. The three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea suddenly rushed into the chaotic place-the southern province of Anhui.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the southern province of Anhui.
This matter can be traced back to Gaia's expansion pack released in the second year [Revealing the Pole]. At that time, the Huangchao rebel army who had been in the southern province of Anhui was wiped out by Zhanlang and Xiongba together.
Then, Chen Sheng's rebel army who had been in the Central Plains province was wiped out by Chunshenjun, Dichen and others.
Originally, with the help of this uprising, the [Yanhuang League] was able to emulate Shanhai City at that time, extending its influence into the two major provinces in one fell swoop and expanding its territory.
Unfortunately, after the two battles, the cold winter came suddenly and the road was difficult, which made [Yanhuang League] lose the opportunity to take over the two major provinces in the first place.
Three years later, Gaia released another expansion piece [Rise of the Family].
This completely disrupted the deployment of the [Yanhuang League], and the two temporarily unowned provinces were quickly occupied and divided up by families of all sizes, making the [Yanhuang League] completely lose the opportunity to occupy the two provinces.
At that time, no matter it was Zhanlang, Xiongba, Chunshenjun, Dichen and others, they were all very annoyed.
As time went by, the two major provinces gradually turned into a place of chaos, and became a battleground for hundreds of aristocratic families, fighting endlessly every day.
It's just that the aristocratic family is an aristocratic family after all. Although they fight internally, once foreign forces try to get involved in the two major provinces, they can quickly abandon their prejudices and unite with the outside world.
Of course, [Yanhuang League] never gave up on taking back the two major provinces. When they wiped out the Huangchao rebel army and the Chen Sheng rebel army, they had already laid a lot of dark chess in the two major provinces.
【Yanhuang League】Ouyang Shuo really can't compare with the family background in terms of game skills with the family. By the second half of Gaia's four years, the preparations for the [Yanhuang League] have basically been completed.
Conquering the two major provinces was also regarded as a part of "Z Plan", and it was put on the [Yanhuang League] agenda early.
Maybe it's a bad year.
Just when [Yanhuang League] was preparing to take action, Ouyang Shuo suddenly provoked a big war that spread to the whole of China, not only captured Swordsman City, but also annexed two major city-states along the way.
This made [Yanhuang League] very hurt, and the plan was shelved for a while.
Fortunately, the sky never dies [Yanhuang League], at this time, Ouyang Shuo embarked on an ocean trip.
Seeing that the cold winter is approaching again, after missing this winter, the summer rest is over, and the five years of Gaia [Yanhuang League] just want to take back the two major provinces, but I'm afraid they will be powerless.
At this point, Di Chen and the others had no way out. While expanding the army, they accelerated the implementation of the military plan to take back the two major provinces.
Reluctantly, Swordsman City was destroyed, and [Yanhuang League]'s arm was forcibly severed. Outside Swordsman City, the 150,000 reinforcements were completely buried in the hands of the Great Xia Army, which seriously injured the vitality of the [Yanhuang League].
The original plan to win the two provinces in one fell swoop was also temporarily adjusted to win the southern province of Anhui first.
This time, Di Chen and the others made the right bet.
The 300,000 troops fought with all their strength, and with the dark chess set in advance, they wiped out the southern province of Anhui in one fell swoop.
In this way, [Yanhuang League] completely eliminated the loss of Jianxia City, and the overall strength did not decline but rose. There are many aristocratic families in southern Anhui province, which means that there are many talents.
Winning the Southern Anhui Province not only allowed the [Yanhuang League] to capture nearly 200,000 prisoners of war and further expand its military strength, but also harvested a large number of talents and consolidated the foundation of the territory.
If Ouyang Shuo hadn't rushed back to Shanhai City in time, Dichen and the others would have made persistent efforts to take down the Central Plains province before winter came.
This time, even God was on the side of the [Yanhuang League], and in December, the cold winter did not arrive as expected, allowing the [Yanhuang League] to take over the southern province of Anhui calmly.
Ouyang Shuo was helpless about this, the fall of Southern Anhui Province had become an established fact, and now Daxia was still reorganizing its troops, so it was completely powerless to launch a war.
And with the approaching cold winter, instigating a big war at this time is undoubtedly seeking death.
"When [Yanhuang League] sent troops, why didn't we respond at all?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Although the main forces of the [Yanhuang League] members were not involved in the battlefield in the previous century war, but this time [Yanhuang League] sent 300,000 troops at one time, the border must be weak.
Logically speaking, [Shanhai League] shouldn't be completely indifferent.
"This……"
Although Ouyang Shuo didn't get angry, this flat tone still put a lot of pressure on Tsing Yi. It's just that this is an important matter for the military and the country, and it's really not something she, a scholar of the Miwen Pavilion, can explain clearly.
Ouyang Shuo also reacted, and said with a wry smile, "I'm the one who got impatient."
If you think about it carefully, the reason is not difficult to understand.
For one thing, apart from the Huben Army stationed in the southern Fujian Province, the various armies of the Great Xia are either still being reorganized, or are undergoing a change of defense, and are stationed in a new defense area. Everything is still chaotic.
Moreover, Ouyang Shuo was not in the country, the Great Xia Army could only be active at the border, and would not dare to take advantage of this to break into the territory of the [Yanhuang League] and initiate a big war.
Among the two [Shanhai League], the only one that really borders the southern Anhui province is the Jiangchuan province that is not yet part of Daxia. In the absence of Ouyang Shuo, the siege lion did not have the courage and strength to organize the territorial army of Jiangchuan province and intervene in the battle of southern Anhui.
After all, Ouyang Shuo is too strong in the alliance, sometimes it is a good thing, and sometimes it is a bad thing. Dichen and the others might have seen through this point, so they chose to give it a go.
Ouyang Shuo took a deep breath and asked Tsing Yi, "Any good news?"
