Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 691 Turbulent Situation

In July, the Far East was shrouded in scorching heat. The air was filled with heat waves, and the plants and trees were listless. Even the animals that were common in mountains, rivers and rivers went into the shade to escape the heat, and disappeared everywhere.

As if affected by the scorching hot weather, everyone from Tielan Pass Fortress in the west to Ice City in Dandong Province in the east seemed restless.

Soldiers and officials of the Hanhai Empire in various provinces and cities in the Far East have received information from higher-level officials that riots and uprisings against the Hanhai Empire are very likely to break out in the Far East, and they are required to strengthen their vigilance and take strict precautions.

But the information is very vague. As for whether there will be riots and uprisings, when and where, everything is unknown. Hanhai's officials and garrisons in various regions and cities are very anxious because they have no clue.

In order to deal with the uncertain riots, the garrison chiefs in various places dispatched elite soldiers to enforce the curfew, and set up checkpoints on the roads of various places to check suspicious people coming and going, but as time passed, the weather became hotter and hotter, they He didn't get any information, and became even more impatient.

Hanhai officials began to arrest those gangsters and hooligans who roamed the streets all year round. All the cells were full of people, and anyone they thought was suspicious would be arrested. But the more people they arrested, the more they would The uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, which is for no reason.

When the Hanhai army strengthened its defenses in various regions and began to take measures to deal with the upcoming riots, the people in various regions and provinces in the Far East were silently preparing weapons, dry food, and stockpiling war materials.

This is not a battle between the army and the army, but a confrontation between thousands of people and the vast sea army. All the people are full of anger. The Far East is calm on the surface, but there is an undercurrent in the dark Surging, everyone is waiting for the arrival of July [-]th, and although the people in Hanhai feel that the atmosphere is not right, they still have no clue.

On July [-]st, Orlando, Marshal of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Hanhai Empire, was ineffective in commanding in the Westward Campaign and the two battles with the Far East Rebel Army in the Far East, which caused heavy losses to the Hanhai Army, and Yuanjing was very dissatisfied.

Yuanjing sent another Marshal Simon of the Hanhai Empire to take over Orlando's military and political affairs in the Far East. Marshal Orlando was transferred back to the northern area of ​​the Hanhai Empire to conquer the barbarians. Released, Orlando can be regarded as a complete loss.

Although Marshal Orlando was very unwilling, he still handed over all the military and political power in his hands to Marshal Simon who came from Yuanjing, and then left the land that he led the army to seize, full of sadness, and prepared to conquer The barbarians of the northern part of the empire.

Marshal Simon is the real son of the rich and powerful of the Hanhai Empire. He received 80 elite imperial troops and took control of more than ten provinces, which made the young Marshal Simon very excited.

On the day when Marshal Simon took office, he convened a military and political conference on the situation in the Far East, and all the senior military and political officials of the Hanhai Empire stationed in the Far East were present to listen to the order.

Regarding the two disastrous defeats of the Hanhai Empire Army at the hands of the Far East Rebel Army, Marshal Simon attached great importance to it. At the meeting, he decided to transfer cavalry units from ten divisions and infantry from fifteen divisions, plus 20 surrenders. His servants are preparing to launch a new round of attacks on the Elbe Province, in order to completely wipe out the Far East Rebel Army and clean up the mess left by Orlando.

"Master Marshal, the situation in various regions of the Far East is unstable now. If we deploy a large number of troops in various places, if riots or uprisings break out, we will be powerless to suppress them." Cao Ge, commander of the No.12 Army, put forward his own opinion.

"Is General Cao Ge questioning the decision?"

Facing the aggressive and sharp eyes of Marshal Simon, Cao Ge, Commander of the No.12 Army, was about to speak, but he felt Zhao Shuo, the Commander of the No.15 Army, gently tugging at the corner of his clothes.

"The last general dare not." Cao Ge bowed his head and lowered his proud head. With Orlando's loss of power, the generals who originally followed Orlando were destined to have a rough future.

Marshal Simon said coldly: "Sit down."

Marshal Simon's proposal was unanimously approved, and the Hanhai troops stationed in various places began to mobilize and prepare to sweep across the Elbe River Province, where the headquarters of the Far East Rebel Army is located. put on fire.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Just as the Hanhai Army mobilized garrisons from various places to gather troops to go to the Elbe Province to conquer the main force of the Far East Uprising Army, the main force of the Far East Uprising Army took the initiative to start provocation.

After the Battle of Hongshitan, the main force of the Far East Uprising Army, after half a month of rest and replenishment, under the command of Mu Xue and Zhao Yun, the troops split into two groups and went straight to the neighboring Shuanglin Province.

In the face of the surging Far East rebel army, the Hanhai garrison in Shuanglin Province only has a strength of more than [-] people, and they are scattered all over the country. Before they can gather, they are defeated one by one. hands.

"Join the rebel army! Take up arms! Take back our property and land!"

"Expel the robbers in the vast sea! Defend the beautiful homeland!"

"We don't want to be slaves! We want our old life!"

Muxue fully carried forward the propaganda offensive he learned in the Nanchuan Army. Wherever the Far East uprising army went, on the streets, in the jungle on the walls and roads, propaganda slogans were posted everywhere, calling on the people of the Far East to stand up Resist the brutal rule of the Hanhai Empire.

The people in the Far East have been exploited and squeezed by the Hanhai Empire for a long time, and they have already dared not bear the burden. Now the rebel army has come and killed the Hanhai officials, defeated the Hanhai garrison, distributed them money and food, re-divided the land, and coupled with the previous propaganda offensive, The Far East Uprising Army immediately received strong support from the people.

At the registration point for joining the army in the town, countless people from the Far East flocked with homemade knives and forks and sharpened wooden sticks, almost overwhelming the recruitment point. They clamored to join the rebel army and fight against the Hanhai army.

Outside the camp of the rebel army, countless men, women and children took the only remaining food, eggs, pigs and sheep to the Song Wengang camp, and took the initiative to provide logistical supplies for the rebel army.

Seeing the endless flow of people and seeing those people who responded positively, Muxue was filled with emotion. Only then did he truly realize the truth of what Lin Chuan said to them back then. With the support, their Far East Uprising Army will thrive.

The Far East Uprising Army only stayed in Shuanglin Province for two days, and their troops have rapidly expanded from the original thirteen banner regiments to twenty banner regiments. Although most of them are untrained recruits, But Mu Xue believes that the battlefield is the best training ground, and only soldiers who have been baptized by blood and fire are real soldiers.

The first division of Hanhai No.80 cooperated with the remnants of the garrison of Shuanglin Province to launch a counterattack against Shuanglin Province, but suffered a devastating blow. The Far East Rebel Army captured a large number of weapons and luggage, and its strength further strengthened.

After conquering Shuanglin Province, the rebel army did not stay for too long. Instead, they concentrated their forces and went straight to Huayu Plain, where the granary in the Far East was located, in an attempt to seize this important grain-producing area.
