Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 127 Undercurrent
On the night of July 21st, Su Yi and three sisters, Ouyang Xue, Ouyang Qian, and Ouyang Wan, had dinner in the restaurant of the Governor's Mansion. After a few mouthfuls, he started to retch uncontrollably, so he had to go back to the bedroom to rest.

Seeing that the two younger sisters had left, Empress Ouyang Xue showed a trace of worry on her face, "The two younger sisters won't be angry with me!"

Su Yi immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry! Xiaoqian and Xiaowan can't wait for your sister to share some of the burden for them!"

Empress Ouyang Xue couldn't help being taken aback, "Sharing? What are you sharing?"

"Hey, when you get back to the bedroom in a while, you'll know what to share with them."

Empress Ouyang Xue finally understood what Su Yi was referring to this time. Ouyang Xue blushed slightly, turned her head to look, and found that all the maids in the restaurant had left. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Su Yi, "Today Absolutely not at night, my place is still hot right now, by the way, there is one thing I want to discuss with you."

"Don't you, you, yours, you will call me Husband in the future, please call me quickly."

Empress Ouyang Xue's face turned even redder, "Husband——"

Su Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Tell me something! Is it about giving weapons and ammunition to the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire? Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will try to give more this time."

Empress Ouyang Xue looked around again, her face suddenly became serious, "Is it convenient to talk here?"

Seeing Ouyang Xue's serious face, Su Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiaoxue, wait a moment."

After speaking, Su Yi got up and walked to the door of the dining room. After opening the door, Su Yi gave some instructions to Du Zhongtie, the captain of the guard guarding outside the door, then closed the door again, returned to the dining table, and sat down. Come down, "Xiaoxue, what's the matter, now you can talk."

Empress Ouyang Xue sighed and said: "I recently discovered that there seems to be an undercurrent in the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire. Since the army of the Orenza Empire launched another large-scale attack, some people who are loyal to the royal family Many of the young generals promoted by the second and third younger sisters had accidents on the battlefield, and among these generals who had accidents, there were actually three high-ranking regiment commanders."

When Su Yi heard this, his brows frowned immediately. The army structure of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire was the same as that of most countries in the world. A fully formed infantry regiment had four infantry divisions, two heavy artillery regiments, and an engineer regiment. The Wing, a Cavalry Wing, a Supplies Division, and a Legion Headquarters have a total strength of around 30.

Even though the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire has always been troubled by the problem of weapons and ammunition, the establishment of each infantry regiment of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire is still in accordance with the standard. However, some heavy artillery regiments do not even have a field cannon. Can be used as an infantry regiment.

A legion commander with heavy troops in his hands should be relatively safe even on the battlefield.

Although the front line in the southern part of the Ziyue Empire was fought terribly, the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire did not suffer a large-scale rout. Suddenly, three legion commanders died on the battlefield, which made people suspicious.

"How did the three army commanders die?" Su Yi asked in a deep voice.

Empress Ouyang Xue then said: "A legion commander was beaten to death at the legion headquarters, and was shot in the head, but the location of the legion headquarters is very, very far from the front line, and the murderer was the Orenza Empire." It is unlikely that they were sent, and another legion commander was hit in the head by a stray bullet while inspecting the frontline positions, and the last legion leader died of a heart attack at night."

"So after the death of the three legion commanders, who will replace them?"

"According to the usual practice, after the death of the army commander on the battlefield, the deputy army leader will temporarily take over the position of army leader. After the death of the three army leaders, the deputy army leaders of their legions will take over the position of army leader."

"Is there any problem with the three deputy army commanders?"

Empress Ouyang Xue shook her head and said: "No problem has been found for the time being. The general who had the accident also had many division heads and regiment leaders, but the officers who took their place did not find any problems, but it is certain. Yes, there is definitely some conspiracy against the royal family, and the generals who have accidents can be said to be on the side of the royal family."

Su Yi nodded and said: "So many high-ranking officers have accidents all at once, which means that it is definitely not an accident. Xiaoxue, do you have anyone to suspect?"

Empress Ouyang Xue hesitated for a moment and said: "Among the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, if one is said to be able to control the entire Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire, there should be only the Prime Minister Guo Xian and the Minister of the Army Yuan Lin, but they have always been loyal to the royal family. , I really don’t believe any of them are the real culprits behind the scenes.”

Su Yi frowned and said: "I also know a little about Prime Minister Guo Xian and Army Minister Yuan Lin. It stands to reason that they shouldn't do such a thing. If one of them is the real murderer behind the scenes, they want to completely control the entire Ziyue The Imperial Royal Army has many ways to do it, and there is no need to make such a big commotion at all."

Empress Ouyang Xue smiled wryly, "I thought so too. Back then, I was able to ascend the throne and become Empress of the Ziyue Empire, thanks to the support of Prime Minister Guo Xian, Minister of War Yuan Lin, and Minister of the Navy Liu Yongcheng, plus the support of Prime Minister Guo Xian and Army Minister Minister Yuan Lin's character has always been well-known, I think it is almost impossible for them to be the real culprits behind the scenes."

Su Yi asked again: "What do Prime Minister Guo Xian and Army Minister Yuan Lin think about such a big incident?"

Empress Ouyang Xue said: "Both of them believe that there is a conspiracy. Prime Minister Guo Xian has used the intelligence department of the Ziyue Empire, and Minister of War Yuan Lin has dispatched a group of reliable officers and soldiers from the Royal Garrison to investigate this matter. Things, if it wasn't for this incident, Prime Minister Guo Xian was planning to accompany me to Kangshui City."

Su Yi couldn't figure it out for a while, Su Yi thought for a while and asked Queen Ouyang Xue: "Xiaoxue, what are your plans?"

Empress Ouyang Xue immediately said: "I hope that the Su family army will not only support the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire with weapons and ammunition, but also dispatch a large number of officers and veterans to help the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire to reorganize. , can imitate the Su family army, the largest organization is only 30 infantry divisions, after all, once a regiment commander controls [-] troops, once he betrays the royal family, he will definitely be in trouble."

When Su Yi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Xiaoxue, aren't you afraid that the Su family army will annex the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire?"

Empress Ouyang Xue said softly: "Now the three of us sisters have become your women, and even the next emperor of the Ziyue Empire must be your child. In fact, you have become the controller of the Ziyue Empire. I quite agree with you that you completely control the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire, but the name of the Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire cannot disappear."

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "I have to discuss with He Yunfei and Cheng Ziwen first to help the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire change its military establishment, and this matter cannot be rushed, after all, most of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire is now The troops are all on the front line in the southern region, resisting the attack of the Orensa army, and it is not appropriate to make too many adjustments to the front line troops at this time."

Empress Ouyang Xue nodded slightly, and then said: "Husband, according to the intention of the Ministry of War, I will use the weapons and ammunition you are going to give to the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire this time, and then form some new troops. to lead the formation of these new forces."

"That's not a problem, but most of the officers of the newly formed Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire must be from my side. Only in this way can these newly formed Royal Army of the Purple Moon Empire be able to It belongs to the royal family."

"Husband, can the person you send be loyal to you all the time?"

"Hehe, you have to have confidence in your husband's charisma. With the people I sent to control the troops, there will never be any mistakes."

"Then husband, how many new Ziyue Imperial Army do you plan to form?"

"That depends on how many recruits can be recruited. If 80 recruits can be recruited, ten infantry divisions will be formed. If 160 recruits can be recruited, twenty infantry divisions will be formed."

"Husband, in order to resist the joint attack of the Orensa Empire, the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire, our Ziyue Empire incorporated tens of millions of young and strong into the Royal Army Reserve Force, so conscription is very important to our Ziyue Empire. It is not difficult for the Moon Empire, but our Ziyue Empire is short of weapons and ammunition, it is impossible to arm tens of millions of young men, otherwise the Orenza army would have been driven out."

After a pause, Empress Ouyang Xue continued, "As long as your husband has enough weapons and ammunition, I don't think it's a problem to form one or two hundred infantry divisions."

Su Yi shook his head, and with a wry smile, he explained to Queen Ouyang Xue the establishment of the infantry division of the Su family army and the equipment of weapons, and immediately stunned Queen Ouyang Xue.

"If the infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire were to be equipped with the same weapons as the infantry divisions of the Su Family Army, it would be impossible to form one or two hundred infantry divisions at once. The weapon reserves in my hand cannot meet the needs of so many infantry divisions. "

"Husband, where did you get so many weapons and ammunition, and so many warships in the Independent Fleet, did they really come from an island shipyard?"

Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiaoxue, there are some things that I can't explain to you right now. When the time is right, I will tell you the secret, as well as Xiaoqian and Xiaowan."

Empress Ouyang Xue suddenly stuck out her tongue, and then said softly: "My lord, you don't have to worry about it, I just asked casually, then according to the weapon reserve in your hand, how many Ziyue Imperial Army do you think can be formed first?" Where's the infantry division?"

Su Yi silently counted the number of army weapons and equipment in the system item warehouse, and then said: "According to the weapons and ammunition I have in reserve, it is no problem to form [-] or [-] infantry divisions, but the Su family army can't mobilize so many for the time being." Officers and veterans, so the Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire should form forty infantry divisions first!"

At this time, in an office of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Suisheng City, the accompanying capital of the Ziyue Empire, Prime Minister Guo Xian asked the Minister of War Yuan Lin in a deep voice: "Old Yuan, do you have any clues?"

Yuan Lin smiled wryly, "Except for confirming that most of the senior military officers who had accidents were assassinated in an organized manner, we didn't find any useful clues at all. Did the Prime Minister and the intelligence department find out about this incident? What?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian said with a sigh: "Similarly, apart from confirming that those senior officers were assassinated, there were no valuable clues. The intelligence forces investigated the officers who took over and found no problems."

Yuan Lin hesitated for a while and said, "Prime Minister, could it be that the Orenza Empire sent people to do it, just to cause chaos for our Royal Army of the Ziyue Empire."

Prime Minister Guo Xian nodded slightly and said: "It is not ruled out that the Orenza Empire is the real culprit behind this matter, but it can assassinate dozens of senior officers of our Purple Moon Empire Royal Army in such a short period of time. It’s impossible to do it without internal support.”

Yuan Lin frowned and said, "What does the Prime Minister mean, that there are traitors among us who defected to the Orenza Empire?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian sighed again, "This is just my guess, what is the truth of the matter, we have to continue to investigate."

As soon as Prime Minister Guo Xian finished speaking, a secretary beside Prime Minister Guo Xian hurried into the office with a telegram, "Prime Minister, Lord Liu, Minister of the Navy, sent an urgent telegram."

Prime Minister Guo Xian received the telegram and looked at it, and was immediately stunned. Yuan Lin, the Minister of War, saw Prime Minister Guo Xian's appearance, and hurriedly asked anxiously: "Prime Minister, is something happened to Her Majesty the Queen?"

Prime Minister Guo Xian looked down at the telegram again, and then passed the telegram to Yuan Lin, "From now on, our Ziyue Empire does not need to take any precautions against the Su family army."

Yuan Lin took a look at the telegram, and his expression became a little sluggish, "This... this... how decent is this? If Her Majesty the Queen, the Second Princess, and the Third Princess all marry Su Yi, then our Ziyue Empire is not It is also equivalent to becoming Su Yi, how can this be possible!"

Prime Minister Guo Xian suddenly showed a smile and said: "Her Majesty is going to marry after all. Now that Her Majesty has chosen Su Yi, it is good news for our Ziyue Empire. At least our Ziyue Empire Royal Army, You don’t have to worry about weapons and ammunition anymore.”
