Chapter 582: 582 Mirage enters the game
Chapter 582 582 Mirage enters the game
There is one sentence to describe the Qi State at this moment, that is: express delivery is delivered under Big Ben, and is delivered from above...
The style of the Tang Army also suddenly changed. The armored troops once again ran wildly and captured a large number of cities with overwhelming force.
The remaining troops of Qi who had no food surrendered on a large scale. The First Armored Division created a large encirclement, and all the 100,000 Qi troops inside chose to surrender easily.
Although most of these troops are miscellaneous troops under the command of the third prince, there are also some miscellaneous troops abandoned by the eldest prince.
But a miscellaneous army is also a miscellaneous army. These troops may not be able to fight, but there is absolutely no problem in being a labor force. As long as it is comforted, it will not prevent Tang Guo from using it as labor.
But at this moment, Qi's neighbors across the sea in the north couldn't sit still: if Qi collapsed in an instant, they would have no room to move.
Ever since, with the encouragement of the Lions Empire, the Ice Empire, and the Dahua Empire, the Mirage Kingdom finally couldn't help but come to an end at this time.
Mirage dispatched a huge naval fleet and transported two of its divisions to Beiyuan City. Along with it, they also sent some artillery shells and food to provide free support to the second prince of Qi who had no way out.
The second prince had no other choice but to follow the instructions of Cyric's advisor and choose to sell his sovereignty in exchange for the support of the mirage.
From his point of view, the emperor is still an emperor at least, but if he is attacked by the Tang army, he will only be a corpse.
What's more, there is his eldest brother who came all the way from the south, burning, killing and looting. If he didn't have the support of the Mirage Kingdom now, he would really die without a burial place.
After thinking about everything and having no better choice, the second prince chose to sell the northern part of Qi State directly to Mirage State at a price, and connected the world with electricity to confirm the sale.
The Dahua Empire was overjoyed when they heard the news, and almost immediately announced that they recognized the rule of the Mirage Kingdom over Beiyuan City.
Following this, the Ice Empire, Lions and other empires also announced that they had recognized Mirage’s purchase of Beiyuan City. Anyway, this was entirely the generous act of the state of Kangqi, and they had nothing to lose.
Even some emperors had a vague expectation that the Tang State would declare war on the Mirage State in anger.
Tang Mo took the news about Beiyuan City being sold to the Mirage Kingdom. He sat in his seat and looked at Leo who came to deliver the news, and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"Based on the current situation, if we want to end the war as soon as possible, then we should recognize the Beiyuan City deal." Nangong Hong on the side replied: "However, this is not without cost."
"Yes, the price..." Tang Mo nodded slightly and put the report on his desk: "If we choose to end the war, the current pressure will suddenly be relieved. The internal wartime state will be ended, and the economy will be able to recover in a short time. Return to a higher level.”
After he finished speaking, his mood changed: "But, we have lost our righteousness! Gentlemen! The Tang Kingdom will never tolerate the Tang people being abused by the cruel goblins! It will also not allow the Tang people to be ruled by the goblins!"
Tang Mo did not explain why Qi people were regarded as Tang people, but everyone present subconsciously acquiesced to this statement.
In the eyes of these people, everyone who may become a Tang person is a Tang person, and every person who lives in the land that is about to become the Tang Dynasty is a Tang person!
Nangong Hong was even a little excited because he heard ambition from Tang Mo's words. That was the ambition of an emperor. In his opinion, Tang Mo was no longer willing to continue to be the king.
The awkward name of the Tang Dynasty may soon be swept into the trash can of history. A new and powerful Datang Empire will soon rise like the sun!
"What's more, the purpose of our attack on Qi State is to end the unfavorable situation of being surrounded on three sides. With such a large piece of land in Beiyuan City and the soldiers of Mirage stationed there, what is the meaning of our attack on Qi State?" After saying that, Tang Mo looked at Loew.
Loew understood and said: "Our population migration in the southern seas is about to end, and the navy will be liberated! General Bernard can go north in a month, and by then we will be able to cut off the sea between Mirage and Beiyuan. route."
"On land, since the second prince has colluded with the Mirage Kingdom, the eldest prince's side has no foundation at all." Loew walked to the map and pointed to the south of Beiyuan City, the final destination of the eldest prince's retreat. Area: "He has no supplies, no replenishment, and will soon collapse."
“We can attack him first, force him to surrender, and then find an opportunity to attack Beiyuan.” Loew drew a finger on the map and made a two-sided attack gesture.
Tang Mo nodded: "Just follow this plan! If the Mirage Kingdom is willing to transport its troops to Beiyuan to fight with us, we will send them all to work in the labor camp!"
He said and stood up: "From today on, everyone should have an idea! If we don't retreat, the enemy will let us go! We, the Tang Dynasty, will not retreat! We can only fight! Fight! Keep fighting! Until No one in this world dares to be our enemy! Only then will we put down our weapons!”
“Long live my king!” All the officials present sang loudly.
Beiyuan City, on the pier, a sailboat slowly docked. Rows of Mirage soldiers walked off the deck carrying their weapons.
Their average height is less than one and a half meters, some are strong and some are thin, and they look much more "wretched" than the Qi army on the dock.
There have been a lot of such ships recently, and new ships from the Mirage Kingdom are docked at the pier in Beiyuan every moment. Ships of soldiers were unloaded, and Cyric's cannons were also unloaded on the dock.
Around Beiyuan City, the Qi Army and the Mirage Army are building a ring of fortifications. They not only have to defend the Tang Army in the west, but also the Qi Army under the eldest prince in the south.
At this moment, the second prince’s Qi army no longer calls themselves the Qi army. They can only call themselves the auxiliary army, because Beiyuan City already belongs to the Mirage Kingdom, and they are no longer from the Qi Kingdom...
Disgust spread among the second prince's army, and some soldiers fled overnight. But the second prince didn't care. He was still the King of Qi anyway, just in exile.
Mirage Wuliang, as the governor of Beiyuan City in the mirage country, is looking at the defense map of Beiyuan City in his governor's mansion.
The Mirage Navy has transported two divisions of Mirage troops to Beiyuan City by sea, and two more divisions will arrive in the next three days.
These troops are equipped with new Cyric rifles and rush-made Cyric helmets based on experience.
In Mirage Wuliang's view, the individual combat capability of the Mirage troops is stronger than that of the Qi people. With 40,000 elite troops deployed, he was very confident that he could stop the Tang army's attack.
As an army general, he was worried about the sea transportation line between Beiyuan City and Mirage behind him. If there is a problem with this transportation line, Beiyuan City's factories and farmland alone will not be able to support so many troops.
You know, if you count the elite second army in the hands of the second prince, as well as the troops recruited from the temporary capture of strong men, plus the defeated troops who were chased and killed by the eldest prince, Beiyuan alone has 5 troops from the original Qi State. Thousands of soldiers.
Coupled with the planned military strength to be strengthened by the Mirage Kingdom in the future, Beiyuan City may have to support 100,000 or even 150,000 garrison troops. Obviously, it cannot be done with a small Beiyuan, so this force still needs the support of Mirage.
“Sir!” A Mirage officer walked in, almost like a child because he was so short. He saluted with a military salute and then reported: "Those Qi people are very uncooperative. They are unwilling to dig trenches with strong men..."
"Do you still want me to teach you about this kind of thing?" Xiang Wuliang glanced at the men who came in, and said disdainfully: "Kill the Qi people in the lead. If they still don't obey, continue to kill!"
"But, on Jiang Zhi's side...will..." the Mirage officer reminded his superior with some worry.
"He is just a puppet! Don't worry about his opinions! If he is not satisfied, let him come to me!" Mirage Wuliang sneered and waved his hand.
He even felt that Jiang Xian, the leader of Qi State, was lacking something when naming his sons.
This second prince's name is Jiang Zhi, but he doesn't seem to have any wisdom at all. If they didn't need this puppet, the second prince might have grass growing on his grave by now.
"Yes! I understand." The subordinate immediately lowered his head and agreed.
"In addition, in order to save food... cut some rations for hard labor! Mix in some bran and sawdust... Anyway, they are just digging trenches, it doesn't matter how many they die!" Mirage Wuliang looked at the map again, with an inscrutable look: "We don't expect these people to serve as soldiers. It doesn't matter how much they are used up! Just as long as the people who die are not from the Mirage Kingdom!"
"Yes! I understand!" The officer of the mirage country lowered his head again and said in agreement.
They goblins came here to occupy Beiyuan City, with the goal of occupying it forever. It doesn’t matter how many Chinese there are, they will all be eliminated eventually.
They have used this logic before on Dongwan Island, and it is not unusual to use it again now. In short, these Qi people are just wood and consumables...
"Go! Increase the number of strong men to 100,000! No matter what, we must establish a defense system in Beiyuan that no one in the Tang Dynasty dares to attack easily!" Mirage Wuliang looked at his map with pride. The smiles on the faces of those who were building more and more fortifications were getting more and more triumphant.
This is his masterpiece, the masterpiece he used to take revenge! He wants to be here to make Tang Jun pay the price that he didn't pay when he took Dongwan Island by force!
