Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 53 Rush to the Purple Moon Empire
In the palace of Tianxing City, the capital of the Tianxing Empire, Prime Minister Huang Kun said to Emperor Song in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Jisk Empire sent a telegram saying that Su Yi is willing to withdraw from the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Kangshan County, but Su Yi is unwilling to give up Kangshan City and Kangshan Port, and Su Yi demands that the Heavenly Star Empire pay him a batch of transport ships for the eight counties of Kangshan County as a ransom."

After signing the armistice agreement with the Jisk Empire, Emperor Song Cui was under tremendous pressure. The demonstrations that broke out in various parts of the Tianxing Empire made Emperor Song Cui feel a little bit overwhelmed. Hearing what Prime Minister Huang Kun said, Emperor Song Cui hesitated and asked : "What is the opinion of the Jisk Empire?"

"Your Majesty, the Jisk Empire believes that we should accept Su Yi's conditions and use a batch of transport ships to exchange the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Kangshan County. In addition, we will temporarily give up recovering Kangshan City and Kangshan Port. After all, Su Yi has a A very powerful fleet, as long as this fleet exists, even the Jisk Empire will have no way to help our Skystar Empire take back Kangshan City and Kangshan Port."

Emperor Song Cui nodded slightly and said: "Then follow the Jisk Empire's wishes. The current domestic situation is somewhat chaotic. It is not suitable for our Tianxing Empire to launch military operations against Kangshan City and Kangshan Port."

On July 3011, 26 in the Tang Dynasty, Su Yi reached a secret agreement with the Skystar Empire. Su Yi withdrew his troops from the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Kangshan County before August [-]th, and the Skystar Empire Forty transport ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons will be sent to Kangshan Port before August [-]th.

On the second day after Su Yi reached a secret agreement with the Skystar Empire, Su Yi and the ambassador of the Sharad Empire to the Jisk Empire who came to Kangshan City in secret also reached an agreement on the redemption of prisoners of war.

According to this prisoner of war redemption agreement, the Sharad Empire needs to pay Su Yi [-] million sand dollars to redeem more than [-] Sharad naval officers and soldiers who were captured by the independent fleet during the naval battle in the Yanmen Strait.

The sand dollar is the currency issued by the Sharad Empire. The exchange rate between the sand dollar and the British dollar is about five to one, and the exchange rate to the silver dollar is two to one. One hundred million sand dollars is almost equivalent to two hundred million silver dollars.

To be honest, [-] million sand dollars was used to redeem more than [-] prisoners of war. This ransom is really high, but Su Yi has always declared that if the Sharad Empire is unwilling to pay the ransom, then he will use this in case More than [-] Salad naval officers and soldiers paid for the innocent prisoners of war and civilians killed in the Huifeng massacre.

This made the Sharad Empire finally have to grit its teeth and accept Su Yi's blackmail. The Sharad Empire did not dare to bet on whether Su Yi was telling the truth or a lie.

Knowing that the Su family army was going to abandon the eight counties other than Kangshan City and Kangshan Port, there was a lot of confusion in the three field infantry brigades of the Su family army. At least 70.00% of the soldiers in these three field infantry brigades were from the lower reaches of Kangshan County. The eight counties under its jurisdiction, now the Su Family Army has abandoned these eight counties, which made many soldiers worry that their families would be retaliated by the Skystar Empire.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Su Yi said that soldiers from eight counties in the three field infantry brigades could move their family members to Kangshan City. Su Yi would also give each family a generous resettlement fee and even help the family members with housing. And work issues, of course, if someone is unwilling to stay in the Su family army, Su Yi will not force others.

The ordinary people who joined these three field infantry brigades were not very loyal to Su Yi and the Su family army, but fortunately, the military pay of the Su family army was very generous, and it was still paid. The number of people who left the Su Family Army was not too many, there were only more than [-] people.

When the Su family army withdrew from the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Kangshan County, 10,000+ family members followed the Su family army and moved into Kangshan City, making Kangshan City suddenly overcrowded.

However, Su Yi does not need to worry about the placement of these family members, because he has brought three guard infantry brigades, two field infantry brigades and five marine brigades, under the escort of the independent fleet, in the Great Tang Dynasty. On August 3011, [-], they rushed to the Ziyue Empire. As for the resettlement of more than [-] family members, it could only be done by Xu Haoming, the acting magistrate of Kangshan County.

Although Su Yi returned the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Kangshan County to the Tianxing Empire, making Xu Haoming, the deputy county guard, not so worthy of the name, but Xu Haoming has no complaints about it, and he still does everything with due diligence. Dutiful, the work of arranging more than [-] family members was also arranged by Xu Haoming in an orderly manner.

Xu Haoming's father, Xu Ziliang, the former governor of Kangshan County of the Tianxing Empire, had already declared in the newspaper that he severed his father-son relationship with Xu Haoming, and expelled Xu Haoming from the family tree of the Xu family. Yi went to Hei, and did his best to serve Su Yi.

Except for the fourth and eighth battleships staying at Kangshan Port, the seventh and tenth battleships staying at Xingang City, the other six battleship formations of the independent fleet participated in this escort, and there were also six light cruisers and two Ten destroyers also moved with six battleship formations.

The six battleship formations include ten super dreadnought battleships, four battlecruisers, eleven dreadnought battleships, and seven pre-dreadnought battleships. There are as many as 32 capital ships, but there are only 26 small warships following them. Only the independent fleet can take it out.

In the bridge of the independent fleet flagship Yongxiang, the commander of the independent fleet Wang Chengliang held several telegrams in his hand and said to Su Yi with a smile: "Commander, the Orenza Empire, the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire, respectively give You sent a telegram."

When Su Yi left Kangshan Port, he sent a clear-coded telegram to the whole world, announcing that his Su family army would enter the Ziyue Empire and help the Tang people of the Ziyue Empire to resist foreign invaders together. This letter from Su Yi The telegram immediately made the Orensa Empire, the Sharad Empire and the Jisk Empire nervous. After all, Su Yi can control a very powerful fleet.

At this time, the 5000 million silver dollars from the Jisk Empire, the [-] million sand dollars from the Sharad Empire, and the forty transport ships from the Skystar Empire have all been handed over to Su Yi.

Su Yi smiled slightly, "I guess the telegrams from these three countries are threatening me and not letting me take the fleet to the Ziyue Empire."

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "That's true. The telegrams from these three countries have similar meanings. They ask our Su family army to rein in the precipice, or we will bear the consequences."

Su Yi curled his lips and said: "Don't bother with them, we will continue to follow the original route and rush to Anbo Port of the Ziyue Empire. At present, the largest military port of the Ziyue Empire is still controlled by the Ziyue Navy, but It seems that the Orenza Navy has blocked the waters near Anbo Port, and the independent fleet just helped the Ziyue Empire to lift the blockade of the Orenza Navy on Anbo Port."
