Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 712 The sleeping lion

The war in the Far East is in full swing, and the hinterland of the Far East Dynasty is also full of flames and endless battles.

Compared with the Far East, where only the Far East Uprising Army and the Hanhai Army were fighting in the vast and boundless area, the fighting in the hinterland of the dynasty was undoubtedly more cruel and complicated.

The ferocious Rong cavalry like wolves, the brave Central Army, the huge Red Turban Army, the elite Northern Army and the rising Nanchuan Army are all the protagonists in this battlefield.

Of course, in addition to these powerful armies, such as the southern army in the far south, the barbarians in the western region, the tribal coalition forces in the storm province, and the profit-seeking mercenary troops, the provincial garrison of each provincial governor They are staring at each other, fighting each other endlessly.

The wars continued and the flames of war raged up and down. The entire Far Eastern Dynasty was shrouded in chaos and wars, and entered the cruelest and darkest period.

The warlords fought each other, population, food, and land resources became the focus of their respective competition, and the people living in the dynasty fell into dire straits.

Thousands of miles of red fields, everywhere, tens of thousands of people have become homeless refugees, countless prosperous and beautiful villages have become ruins, this is an era of endless wars, and it is also an era full of opportunities. Whoever can win the battle for hegemony will achieve eternal hegemony.

Everyone is ambitious, expanding their territory and power, whether you like it or not, you will be involved in this catastrophe.

The Far Eastern Dynasty has existed in name only, and even the capital of the country, the capital, was occupied by those Rong people who drank their blood. The prosperity of the past is no longer there. Although the army loyal to the dynasty still elects the descendants of the royal family as the emperor.

But in this period when strength speaks, a new emperor without prestige and without an army is just a joke. No one will admit that the royal family has become a thing of the past. This is a real world of great controversy.

The Nanchuan Army led by Lin Chuan is a dazzling new star rising in this world of great controversy. Relying on his strong wrist, he firmly controls the 50 elite Nanchuan Army under his command.

After successive battles with the Hanhai people, the Rong people, and the Red Scarf Army, the strength of the Nanchuan Army is increasing day by day, especially after Lin Chuan announced that the Nanchuan Army has embarked on the road to hegemony, the Nanchuan Army is growing rapidly day by day. Become stronger and become a giant standing in the east, which is not to be underestimated.

But now that there are smoldering fires everywhere, what the Nanchuan army pursues is not a strategy of rapid expansion, but a patient accumulation of strength.

Different from other huge power groups, the Nanchuan Army has a weak foundation. Although the army is brave and good at fighting, it only needs population and resources to fight. No matter how strong the army is, it cannot fight for a long time without logistical support.

So ever since Lin Chuan sent troops to seize Qinghe Province from the mouths of the Red Turban Army and the Rong people, he has been dormant, working hard, rewarding farming, rewarding military exploits, and laying the foundation for the achievement of hegemony.

The Nanchuan Army first showed its strength in the Battle of Luoshui River and Qinghe City, and it beat the Red Turban Army and the Rong people to death.

Seeing that the Nanchuan Army did not take the initiative to provoke troubles, the rest of the forces did not bother to find themselves uncomfortable, so from the middle of [-] to now, the Nanchuan Army has ushered in a rare period of recuperation.

Compared with the situation where the other forces are fighting in full swing, the Nanchuan controlled area is indeed a scene of vigorous development. Because of the policy of rewarding farming, the refugees who poured into the Nanchuan army controlled area quickly integrated into this big family. A strong contribution is a steady stream of strength.

Lin Chuan pursues the strategy of building a high city, accumulating grain lightly, and becoming king slowly. After this period of development, the entire control area has greatly improved compared with the previous year, and only hundreds of tall granaries near Qingmu River are stockpiled. It is enough to support the combat needs of the Nanchuan Army for one year.

Of course, when Lin Chuan was developing economy and agriculture, he still did not forget that this is an era of war and chaos, and a strong army is the foundation of his foothold. Otherwise, everything he does is like the moon in the mirror, flowers in the water, and making wedding dresses for others in vain.

The Nanchuan Army has gone through several stages from the original Huangling prisoner to the present. The structure of the force, weapons and equipment, and the command system have all undergone a lot of changes.

In particular, the War Academy's continuous supply of a large number of qualified officers to the army gave this army a different temperament from the rest of the warlord army.

These young military officers shoulder the historical responsibility of defending their homes and the country and saving the Far East people. Their words and deeds have an incomparable influence on the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. They are the backbone of this army, and their goal is to save thousands of people in the Far East. , and fight for it.

For the first time, Lin Chuan instilled the concept of nation into the study of Zhanzheng College, allowing them to understand the history, honor and pride of the Far East nation, and cultivate their national cohesion.

It has to be said that Lin Chuan opened a window for these young officers, letting them understand the meaning of fighting, not for money and wealth, but for the noble national rejuvenation.

In addition to training officers, the Nanchuan Army's new barracks will send batches of qualified soldiers to the army, and then undergo hard training to turn them into qualified soldiers, soldiers of the new era.

After expansion and reorganization, the Nanchuan Army currently has five main field armies, as well as a large number of military systems such as the garrison guarding various cities and the militia self-defense force guarding villages and towns.

The five main armies of the Nanchuan Army are the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry commanded by General Murong Ke, the First Army Corps commanded by General Xia Ge, the Second Corps commanded by General Xiao Zhan, the Third Corps commanded by General Sith, and the heavy hammer commanded by Major General Lin Cunzhi. Legion.

These five main armies are all experienced divisions who have made great achievements in the battle of defending Nanchuan. Some are as brave as tigers, or as tough as iron. They are all elite field troops.

In addition to these five prestigious main forces, the entire Nanchuan army system also has a provincial garrison of more than 50 people. They are all strictly trained reserve forces.

Their main task is to garrison various cities, fortresses, grain-producing areas, iron mining areas, etc., to be responsible for the defense work, but once the battle is tight, they will be incorporated into the regular army and participate in the battle.

In addition to the provincial garrison belonging to the Nanchuan Army, militia self-defense teams were established in each village and town, and the scale was determined according to the local population and economic development level.

They are a supplementary force to the provincial garrison, but they are not directly under the command of the Nanchuan Army, but under the jurisdiction of the local consul. They are regarded as local self-defense forces.

In addition to the development of the army into a three-level system, Lin Chuan also attaches great importance to intelligence work. The intelligence department led by his cronies Liu Zichen and Jiang Mingyue has also developed rapidly with a large amount of capital investment. are involved.

It is precisely because of the existence of a huge and reliable intelligence network that Lin Chuan can predict and respond to new situations in various places in a timely manner. Now that Mu Xue sent back the news through the intelligence department, Lin Chuan once again set his sights on The Far East with more than ten provinces.
