Chapter 429 Dirty Cooperation
"Order the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, and the No. 20 Army to withdraw. In addition, order the 73rd Army, the 76th Army, the 75th Army, and the 86th Army to be ready to go out and fight at any time, so that the logistics and equipment troops can prepare for this as soon as possible. Four legions replenish supplies.”
After listening to Zhao Xihe's words, Han Xiyuan did not hesitate too much. With a wave of his hand, the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, and the No. 20 Army, which were originally deployed to cooperate in the battle, were all withdrawn to their garrison.
However, the other two legions, the Ninth Army and the No. 17 Army, did not choose to retreat, so they must take over the defense strategy.
As for the four legions, the 73rd, 76th, 75th and 86th legions, they are the troops stationed in the pass and must be ready to be dispatched at any time to aid the Tsarist Russian Empire.
"Your Majesty, should I go to Zhao Xidong's residence to have a look?"
After Zhao Xihe listened to Han Xiyuan's deployment, he immediately suggested, and Han Xiyuan nodded.
"This Zhao Xidong was able to escape from Wang Ming and even give up his power. He must have been threatened in some way. In other words, he is a smart man. He will leave all the power to you when dealing with smart people. Only However, this personal expedition can only go so far. The Sakura Empire wants to keep the last army and people of the Goryeo Dynasty, and I don’t want them to be satisfied. Moreover, the war situation in the north now seems to be on the verge of breaking out. The Tsarist Empire and the The one-year short truce between the Tsarist and Russian Republics has also come to an end. They are bound to decide the outcome. At this time, we have to choose a suitable object to bet on. But we did not expect that the army that originally came to destroy the Sakura Empire was now The sudden defection put our Han Empire into a certain predicament in a short period of time."
Han Xiyuan scratched his head as he spoke. From the current situation, it seems that the strong rise of the Han Empire has ignored too many problems, resulting in some shortcomings becoming prominent in a short period of time. Therefore, under such a situation, only It may be that there are too many tricks to do.
Moreover, if the Sakura Empire wants to sue for peace now, then Han Xiyuan must make the Sakura Empire army in South Asia pay the price. He wants the Sakura Empire army in South Asia to write a big essay.
"Therefore, I still have to return to Longdu to take charge. I still hope you people will handle everything here. I don't want to see the strategic mistakes of Jiang Boze and others again. I hope you can lead by example and reflect more."
Han Xiyuan was still ready to end this personal expedition hastily, and all the officers present saluted Han Xiyuan.
"Your Majesty, we will never let you down. Although we do not have enough troops, as soon as the rainy season is over and the strategic moment is right, we will definitely clear all obstacles for Your Majesty."
Cao Shuanglang and others clapped their chests and hugged each other. Han Xiyuan nodded and ended the meeting. After all, the original intention of the meeting was to prepare a strategy against Wang Ming, the king of Yunnan, but now it has lost its original meaning.
At this moment, in the middle of Shu, Wang Ming has just held a military meeting. The main purpose of his military meeting is to stabilize people's hearts. After all, it has been detected that the army of the Han Empire is approaching the city. To stabilize people's hearts, it is an urgent matter. In addition to the problem, Wang Ming still has to actively build a strict defense system to deal with the upcoming battle.
As for the army that had just been conquered, Wang Ming could not help but reward and appoint officials to further win over him. Of course, at the meeting, many officers even admonished Wang Ming, hoping that Wang Ming could go one step further and directly proclaim himself emperor. , but Wang Ming directly and clearly rejected this proposal. After all, he did not dare to proclaim himself emperor at this juncture. It would definitely be digging his own grave.
Of course, Wang Ming naturally has such ambitions. After all, he also wants to be the co-leader of the world, but he knows how much he weighs and is not qualified to be emperor now.
However, the Sakura Empire wanted to stabilize Wang Ming, the vassal king, especially Zhao Xidong, the King of Fujian of the Han Empire, who directly withdrew from the game. In this way, Wang Ming became the dominant family, and Wang Ming also had a relationship with him. The capital of these people's game, especially now that the Sakura Empire is naturally clear, cannot let Wang Ming, the vassal king, have no capital to stand firm with him.
Therefore, at this moment, the Sakura Empire also sent an envoy. Although this person was sent by Ito Shuxun, he also received a document from the Emperor of the Sakura Empire, Yuxing Tianchu. The content of this document was naturally It was the Sakura Empire that was willing to support Wang Ming as the emperor of the Han Empire. They even proposed so-called advantages, which must be mixed with lies and deception. At this time, they could only try their best to give Wang Ming the confidence to claim the throne. And now that Wang Ming is proclaimed emperor, it is a naked provocation to the Han Empire. Once Han Xiyuan is disgusted, it will definitely make Wang Ming a target of the Han Empire. At that time, even if Wang Ming is unwilling , then we must advance and retreat together with the Sakura Empire.
This messenger was a mustached man named Murakami Kojiro. He bowed respectfully to Wang Ming in front of him, and then spoke.
"Dear His Royal Highness the King of Yunnan, this time I come with the full sincerity of our Sakura Empire, and for the sake of happy cooperation between us, I think at this time, we should sit down and talk openly, Next cooperation. Our Sakura Empire is willing to help you and go one step further. Become the emperor of the Han Empire, and our Sakura Empire has absolute strength. Moreover, our Sakura Empire believes that only you can become the emperor of the Han Empire, and that Liu Che Ming is not a good emperor. He reached peace terms with us, but immediately afterwards, he tore up our agreement outright, completely deviating from the integrity that an emperor should have. Therefore, we in the Sakura Empire believe that this A person who is dishonest and dishonest is not worthy of being an emperor."
The village boy Kojiro had a smile on his face, which made Wang Ming in front of him get some goosebumps. After all, his smile was a bit trembling. He then thought about it for a moment or two before speaking directly.
"Mr. Kojiro, I don't agree with your Sakura Empire's proposal. After all, I just have political differences with the emperor of our Han Empire. Moreover, I think I only have a brief appearance with the emperor of the Han Empire." dispute. Of course, I don’t agree that your Sakura Empire has absolute strength and can support me to rise to power. After all, your Sakura Empire is just a small place."
Wang Ming was expressing his anger towards the Sakura Empire. After all, the Sakura Empire had completely forced him into a dead end, and the Sakura Empire's actions this time were also clumsy and despicable, and Murakami Kojiro in front of him was also slightly embarrassed. As soon as he smiled, he also felt disgusted with Wang Ming in front of him. After all, he was betraying himself and covering up without shame.
However, he knew very well that his main task now was to stabilize Wang Ming in front of him, so he just nodded and then continued to analyze.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yunnan probably has a certain prejudice against our Sakura Empire because of some misunderstandings between us before. Of course, I think these barriers can be reconciled. After all, it is a kind of cooperation between us. relationship. Although there is a dispute between you and Liu Cheming, we still want to remind you. Liu Cheming is a narrow-minded person. I don’t think that after your conflicts are resolved, you can still get along peacefully. Since ancient times, the way conflicts have been resolved has always ended with the defeat of the other party."
Murakami Kojiro's words were simply said without mercy, making Wang Ming understand that now he could only cooperate with them, and he also implicitly told Wang Ming that if Wang Ming did not cooperate, after failure, he could only become He was a prisoner and thus became the target of being killed. Wang Ming, who was opposite him, naturally understood this truth and just smiled contemptuously without continuing to speak.
"Tell me about your plan. I want to cooperate. We also need to open the window and speak out and put some issues on the table. Of course, if you have something to hide, I think there is no need for our cooperation to continue. ."
Wang Ming still made his attitude clear, and Murakami Kojiro in front of him nodded slightly.
"Now, our Sakura Empire is willing to support you in proclaiming the emperor. That is also because our Sakura Empire now has the support of the Vulture Empire. The current Vulture Empire is the most powerful country in the world. I think His Highness the King of Yunnan should We know this news. In addition, our Sakura Empire still wants to bring some good news to His Royal Highness the King of Yunnan. In the near future, the army of the Han Empire will inevitably retreat. We have now received the news that the Tsar of the Russian Empire is preparing to attack The intention of waging war against the Tsarist Russian Republic is to annex the Tsarist Russian Republic and complete the reunification. Moreover, the Tsar of the Tsarist Russian Empire has now asked Liu Cheming for help. It is well known that the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Han Empire were allies before. , As a result, the Han Empire will inevitably mobilize troops to help. What makes us even more excited now is that there are now expressions of dissatisfaction with the Han Empire's dismantling of its troops in various parts of the Han Empire. As a result, Yunnan Your Highness, do you think the Han Empire still has the ability to send troops to fight against you?"
Now, this information is an analysis made by the Sakura Empire's Military Department based on the current situation. Although these analyzes are not exactly the same as Han Xiyuan's concerns, there is still a sense of misunderstanding between a blind cat and a dead mouse. Even Wang Wang Ming also agreed with this view.
After all, if they were to rush to the aid of the Tsarist Russian Empire, they would have to mobilize a large number of troops, and now behind the Tsarist Russian Republic was the Prussian Empire. And if they were to send troops, they would have to make careful plans, and not only would Wang Ming be prepared for the current abolition The army is dissatisfied with the way a vassal king like him handles things, and it is extremely possible that there will be complaints from all over the country.
Moreover, if the Han Empire really does not send troops, that is good news for Wang Ming. Thinking of this, Wang Ming's attitude softened slightly, but he was still dissatisfied with the Sakura Empire's previous behavior.
"Your Sakura Empire must have put a lot of effort into supporting me as emperor, and I also want to see your sincerity. Of course, I also hope that you will give me some conditions that make me convinced. After all, I want to , you can support me to be the emperor, that is the only choice. Of course, I think since the Han Empire is now preparing to mobilize its troops, then of course your Sakura Empire will seek peace from the Han Empire again at this time. After all, the Han Empire is now The empire is preparing to mobilize the army in the north, which will have the effect of relieving your troops stationed in the Goryeo Dynasty. At the same time, it is also a poison. After all, if the Han Empire is eager to send troops to aid the Tsarist Empire, it must be the first to send Goryeo. Your army will be completely eliminated in the dynasty."
Wang Ming is not a reckless man, he is a far-sighted emperor. His vision is relatively long-term, and his focus really makes Murakami Kojiro in front of him feel frightened. After all, just from his few words , you can find news and information that is beneficial to Wang Ming. Such an enemy is really scary, but he still continues to speak calmly.
"We in the Sakura Empire naturally hope to reach a reconciliation with the Han Empire, but regardless of whether we can reach a consensus, we are not conflicted about supporting His Royal Highness the King of Yunnan as the emperor of the southwest region. After all, we hope to have more friends, not There are many enemies. Of course, supporting your idea as emperor is also the idea of the Vulture Empire. The Vulture Empire believes that the Han Empire is not democratic enough, and it wants multiple voices to speak out. Therefore, we all hope that His Highness the King of Yunnan will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. .”
Murakami Kojiro smiled and handed over a letter. The first five pages of the letter were all lists of support for Wang Ming. Wang Ming on the opposite side just nodded slightly after reading it. This list indeed contained There are a lot of weapons produced by the Vulture Empire. Without the support of the Vulture Empire behind these weapons and ammunition, the Sakura Empire would never be able to make such a big deal.
"It seems that our cooperation can still continue, but I hope that Sakura Empire will still be honest with me. For example, I think there is no need to use some small actions on me in private. After all, To get to where I am today, I have a lot of blood on my hands."
Wang Ming's words were a complete threat, and Murakami Kojiro naturally understood that what Wang Ming was talking about was the Sakura Empire's placement of spies during the previous military uprising.
"Of course we won't do anything outrageous again."
Murakami Kojiro smiled awkwardly.
