Chapter 904 The Wolf Is Coming.

"Your Highness is right. If they hadn't caused chaos in Dasong for their ambition, how could Dasong have the civil strife today, and how could the prosperous Jiangnan be full of war? Not only should we hunt them down and judge them, but we should also recover the wealth they took away." Chang Wei raised his fist.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Of the seven rebellious families, only the Fan family's plan to escape was stopped by them.

Liang Kai, Han Zheng, Xie Duan, Wang Zi'an, Dou Wei, Xiao Cheng and others were assassinated.

But some of their children still escaped.

And the wealth they carried was also occupied by Britain and Beidi.

These wealth are the blood and sweat of the people of Dasong.

As Chang Wei said, he must recover them.

"Contact Xu Ke about this matter and draw up a list." Zhao Xu reminded.

After talking about this, Zhao Xu discussed the deployment of the army with Chang Wei.

After taking Yunzhou, the civil strife in Dasong was completely quelled.

But next, they will face a problem of national defense.

In the past, they only needed to guard against the north.

Now, they also need to guard against the south.

This time, Chang Wei led his troops to capture Fan Xinglun and directly fought a small battle with the Franks.

It can be seen that the Westerners have actually pushed the front line to the border of Dasong.

According to the intelligence he has, the southern region of the Eastern Land, from Jiaozhi, Nanzhang, Funan to Pyuman, are all colonies of the Franks.

Among them, Jiaozhi is the contemporary Vietnam region, and Pyuman is the Burmese region.

Funan is the Cambodian region, and Nanzhang is Laos.

The Franks combined the four countries and unified them as Southeast China.

In addition to the four countries, there is also Siam, which is Thailand.

Because Britain and Frank both want to annex this area, they have not reached a consensus on interests.

Neither of them allows the other to station troops, so Siam rarely maintains its independence.

Among the five southeastern countries, Funan, Nanzhang and Siam were once vassal states of Dasong.

Before being annexed by the Franks, they paid tribute to Dasong every year.

But after surrendering to the Franks, there was no more news.

Jiaozhi and Piaoman have always been ambitious in the southeast, trying to dominate the southeast.

Because of their great ambitions, they have even repeatedly invaded the territories of successive Central Plains dynasties.

For this reason, the Central Plains dynasties have fought several wars with Jiaozhi and Piaoman in history, with both sides winning and losing.

Therefore, both countries have always been afraid of and unwilling to accept Dasong, both from the royal and civilian perspectives.

After becoming a colony of the Franks, Jiaozhi and Piaoman both obeyed the Frankish governor.

In order to further encroach on the north, the Franks constantly instigated Jiaozhi and Piaoman to provoke on the border of Dasong and coerced the Fan family who were stationed in Yunzhou.

Fan Xinglun was as timid as a mouse and could not resist being frightened. Although he knew that the Franks had bad intentions, he still chose to make friends with the Franks.

But it was at this time that he started the war in the south.

Frank's plan to further erode Dasong failed by boiling the frog in warm water.

This is also the reason why they are desperate and hate themselves so much.

Dasong, such a big piece of cake, was taken away by him before he could even take a bite.

"You snatched people directly from under the noses of the Franks this time. They will definitely not swallow this breath in vain. I am afraid that they will create trouble in the direction of Jiaozhi and Piman. Before the Suzaku Army is formed, you will be temporarily responsible for guarding Jiaozhou and Yunzhou." Zhao Xu said.

This Jiaozhou is the contemporary Guangxi, and Yunzhou is Yunnan.

These two places are facing Jiaozhi and Piman respectively.

"I don't think it's necessary to have more. Fifteen thousand people stationed in each state is more than enough." Chang Wei's words are very confident.

The war in Jiangnan proves that the Dasong army currently has a crushing advantage over both the powerful tribes and the northern barbarians.

Moreover, they have fought with the mercenaries of the Western Land and the expeditionary forces of the Russian State.

They may not be as good as the local regular army, but they will not be much worse.

In front of the royal army, they did not perform well or stand out.

They were just more experienced on the battlefield and suffered less casualties.

In hand-to-hand combat, they were more skilled in using bayonets.

But in terms of individual ability, they were still not as good as the royal soldiers.

After all, the training methods of the royal soldiers were much better than theirs.

He took the best of many schools and passed them on to the generals.

Equipped with Qin-style rifles and breech-loading artillery in the future, they could not match them.

Therefore, 15,000 people in each state are definitely enough.

When the time comes for the generals, they can even cooperate with the navy to take over what Frank called Southeast China.

"This is the south, and 20,000 people are deployed in the direction of Tubo in the west. Other places should also go to Songyang for training frequently to prepare for the future attack on Tubo." Zhao Xu said with a frown.

He must take over Tubo.

This place, known as the roof of the world, is high above and looks down on all directions.

By occupying this place, he can intimidate the countries under the plateau.

On the contrary, if the enemy occupies this place, the front will go straight to Yizhou, Qinzhou and other Central Plains.

These three are three important nodes in Jiangnan, and the deployment in the north does not need to be changed.

After giving instructions on this matter, Zhao Xu talked to Chang Wei about the cavalry.

Let him transfer half of the cavalry of the Qin Army and the Royal Palace to Chen Hu for unified command.

After driving out the Northern Di, these cavalry will be returned.

At the same time, he also talked about the cavalry gun.

Chang Wei laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect there was a special cavalry gun, hahahaha, the Northern Di will suffer now."

They have lived under the shadow of the Beidi cavalry for too long.

They have never been able to deal with the cavalry on the vast grassland.

But if the Dasong cavalry were equipped with cavalry guns.

They could go deep into the grassland and compete with the Beidi cavalry.

As the two were talking, someone came to report that Zhou Yi wanted to see him.

Zhao Xu ordered Zhou Yi to come in, and Chang Wei tactfully left the study.

If there was no order from Zhao Xu, he should not stay to participate in naval affairs.

"I am here to see Your Highness." After a while, Zhou Yi arrived in a dusty state.

Zhou Yi saluted Zhao Xu with a serious expression, "Your Highness, the warships patrolling the east coast of Yizhou and the east coast of Dongying have discovered the warships of the United States."

"When a warship from Dongying encountered the warships of the United States, the other side took the initiative to attack, but after being injured by our warships, they fled. I think that the United States may have sent a lot of warships to the East Earth Sea, hiding somewhere, and plotting something bad."

Zhao Xu snorted lightly and sneered, "This time is enough for the West Earth to make decisions and implement actions, so what is coming has finally come."

He was so eager to resolve the civil strife in Dasong in order to deal with this situation.

Otherwise, Dasong will be in chaos.

After quelling the civil strife, he only needs to deploy troops on the border to keep the enemy out of the country.

At the same time, he will compete with the Northern Di and the enemy on the battlefield outside Dasong.
