Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

In essence, Xu Weigong was right. The Nanshan government did not send many troops into the provinces.

Some provinces have as many as five divisions, while some have only one.

As long as they seize the opportunity, they can naturally wipe them out one by one, but this requires a prerequisite: they must have elite soldiers, and the gap in weapons and equipment cannot be too big.

They still had tens of thousands of elite soldiers from before, but their weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the Nanshan government.

Moreover, the elite soldiers who stayed behind no longer had the courage to fight against the Nanshan government. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers had entered Nanshan before, but all of them were defeated. They had just lost 200,000 new soldiers. How many people would dare to fight against them?

Xu Weigong's words restored some confidence to many military leaders.

Chang Yunxian also said: "Okay, what you said is right. There are still tens of thousands of elite troops in Jin'an City. With the addition of hundreds of thousands of new troops, I believe we can definitely stop the Nanshan government."

"Xiuqing, the defense of Jin'an is now under your full responsibility." Chang Yun then looked at Chen Xiuqing and gave the order.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Chen Xiuqing stood up and responded. He was under a lot of pressure as he had been given the task in a critical moment.

After the meeting, Chang Yun first asked his attendant Yu Liang, "Liang Wen, are you ready?"

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, everything is ready."

Chang Yunxian had already made preparations to escape, but in order to avoid being discovered by others, he handed over the defense task to Chen Xiuqing.

At the same time, in order to appease the troops, he also made arrangements in his mansion, letting He Jingyuan replace him and guard the mansion.

That night, Chang Yunxian took his wife, some close associates, and some jewelry and money, and left from the east gate of Jin'an City and headed for the East China Sea.

Now that the Nanshan government has swept across the country, Chang Yunxian feels that nowhere is safe. Donghai is an international city with many foreigners, and the Nanshan government should not do anything reckless.

Although Chen Xiuqing had made sufficient preparations, the four divisions of the Nanshan Army besieged the city for only one day, and Jin'an City was on the verge of collapse and could not be stopped.

"Come on, follow me to find the commander-in-chief and report the latest situation."

Seeing Chen Xiuqing stand up, the officer beside him stood up and advised: "General Chen, you don't have to go."

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiuqing was puzzled and looked at the officer in confusion.

The officer blushed and told the truth after a while: "The commander-in-chief fled before the Nanshan Army surrounded the city. I'm afraid you are the only one in the city who doesn't know this news."

The unfavorable war situation naturally made everyone in the city panic. This afternoon, the city’s senior officials went to Chang Yunxian’s mansion, but failed to see him in person, only He Jingyuan. This made the senior officials of the Southern government furious.

However, no matter how angry they were, they had no other choice but to think of a way out.

After the Nanshan army surrounded the city, they had nowhere to escape.

A day later, the Nanshan army entered Jin'an City. Chen Xiuqing and Xu Weigong committed suicide, and the rest of the Nanshan government officials were all captured.

On the other side, Chang Yunxian had just entered the Donghai Concession when three divisions of the Third War Zone entered Donghai and ordered two divisions to take over other places in Dongchuan one by one.

The southern government was almost wiped out in a few days, and the same was true for the northern government. When the Nanshan Army was approaching the capital, Yuan Yueting died of illness at home. The northern government lost the courage to resist and finally chose to surrender.

All the southern regions were recovered, and eight divisions of the Sixth War Zone in the north entered the provinces of Bac Long and Selin.

"How could this be? Why did the Nanshan government act so quickly?" Inside the mansion, Zhang Futing's face was full of panic when he received the news.

Owning two northern provinces, he was also very strong in military power before last year. Not only did he have his own arsenal, but his people's livelihood and economic development were also good.

With soldiers, weapons, money and food, he will definitely be powerful.

However, even though all the elite troops were lost in last year's battle, it was a big impact on him, but it could be considered a good thing.

After all, it was an inherited family business, and there were many elders in the army who were holding them back. Losing all the elite soldiers also meant that all the constraints were gone, so wouldn't it be better to develop?

If soldiers are lost, he can just recruit more. The economies of his two provinces are already well developed. In just half a year, he recruited another 300,000 troops, and with the start of military factories, the weapons are also fully equipped.

Just when things were developing vigorously, the Nanshan Army attacked again. How could he not panic?

Although the new army now looks competent, he does not have the confidence to fight against the Nanshan Army.

The adjutant beside him was slightly disappointed when he saw this, thinking that Zhang Futing would not be able to achieve great things. However, he was his subordinate after all, so he still had to do his duty conscientiously.

"General, even if Nanshan comes with great force, we are not without the ability to fight."

"What do you think we should do?"

The adjutant came to the map and pointed at Xueyang River and introduced: "General, the Nanshan Army wants to divide its troops, and we cannot do as they wish."

"After several months of training, our army is now in good shape. Even if we engage in a battle with the Nanshan Army, defense should not be a problem if our offense is insufficient."

"Once our forces are dispersed, it will be easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity and defeat us one by one. It would be better for us to move our main force to Xueyang River and have a decisive battle with the Nanshan Army there."

"it is good."

Zhang Futing didn't have much of his own opinion to begin with, so he thought this was a good idea and gave the order to carry it out.

However, faced with the powerful firepower of the Nanshan Army, the 300,000 troops under his command did not hold out for long before they collapsed across the board.

The commander of the Sixth Military Region, Zhao Linyu, couldn't help but smile: "Zhang Futing is really a good man. If he disperses his forces to defend in various places, it will take us a lot of effort to capture the two northern provinces one by one."

"I didn't expect them to concentrate all their troops, giving us an opportunity."

Hearing this, the Chief of the General Staff and the Chief Political Commissar both smiled knowingly.

If they concentrated their forces to fight and eliminate the main force of Zhang Jun, it would be much easier to quickly take over the two northern provinces. If the other side had divided its forces to defend from the beginning, they could have taken over the two northern provinces, but the manpower, material resources, and energy required would have naturally been much greater.

"Damn it."

Seeing the army's complete defeat, Zhang Futing could not help but curse angrily. He shot the adjutant who made the suggestion on the spot, and then retreated with his personal guards.

After that, the Nanshan Army pursued them all the way and captured more than 200,000 prisoners. It took more than ten days for the Nanshan Army to occupy the two northern provinces.

Unfortunately, Zhang Futing ran too fast. Before the Nanshan Army occupied Beilong, he fled the New Country with his wife, children, and some money and settled in the Lighthouse Country.

Occupy the two northern provinces and unify the entire new country.

At the same time, in Fang Jian’s mind, the sound of the system upgrading to level four rang out.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for unifying the new country. The system has been unlocked to level four."

Hearing this voice, Fang Jian felt calm.

At this time, Tao Yunong entered the office and reported: "Chairman, good news, the Sixth Military Region's battle report, the two northern provinces have been captured."

"it is good."

Now that the country has been unified, Francis Xavier has a lot to do, such as whether to establish a new country or to continue using the new name.

There is also the need to determine the country's political system and structure.

Not only that, there are also a series of issues such as military, economy, and people's livelihood that need to be urgently resolved.

However, before that, what needs to be solved is the talent problem, such as sending talents to the newly occupied areas, appointing officials, and maintaining stability in various places.

For this reason, Zhuang Jiwu has been very busy during this period.
