Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

After Luo Dazhou led the Jinzhou army that had been left behind to surrender quickly, the main force of the Youzhou army also entered Jinzhou.

For the first time, the mechanized forces of the Youzhou army appeared on a large scale outside of Youzhou.

Luo Dazhou's eyes widened as he welcomed the 16th Division of the Youzhou Army, who were the first to enter Jincheng!

At that moment, Luo Dazhou's deepest feeling was that surrendering decisively with the Jinzhou army was the most correct thing he had ever done in his life, without exception!

In less than three days, more than twenty divisions of the Youzhou army entered Jinzhou Province.

Furthermore, on the second day after the main force of the Youzhou army entered Jinzhou, Shen Moshen ordered that three divisions be dispatched in three separate routes to quickly advance towards Songshan Province, Gaohe Province, and Tongmu Province, which are adjacent to Jinzhou Province.

Meanwhile, Songshan Province, Gaohe Province, and Tongmu Province, under Zhuo Yongwang's arrangement, are preparing to gather troops to besiege the Youzhou army that has occupied Jinzhou.

Shen Moshen's order to the Youzhou army was: within half a month at most, they must complete the occupation of Songshan, Gaohe, and Tongmu.

This was Shen Moshen's tailor-made debut for the Youzhou army—after taking Jinzhou without any suspense, a swift and decisive attack on three provinces!

Shen Moshen wanted to use this feat to fully demonstrate the strength of the Youzhou Army to all the warlord forces in the Great Qian Empire!

This most direct and effective method made them realize that the Youzhou army was an opponent they could never defeat..................

Taking over three provinces within half a month is something that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, it was a piece of cake for the Youzhou army that Shen Moshen had carefully built!

Only by demonstrating absolute strength can we achieve the most effective deterrent and the most powerful deterrent effect.

Before the troops from Youzhou left Youzhou, Shen Moshen's military objectives within the Great Qian Empire were very clear.

That is—to achieve the true unification of the Great Qian Empire with minimal casualties.

The minimum casualties referred to here not only include the casualties suffered by the Youzhou army during the campaign, but also the casualties suffered by other warlord forces in the Daqian Dynasty.

Because Shen Moshen never considered the other warlord armies in the Daqian Kingdom as the real enemies of the Youzhou Army.

No matter how the Youzhou army fought against the other warlord forces of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was ultimately an internal struggle between Qian people against Qian people.

Therefore, Shen Moshen believed that there was no need to fight so fiercely in this kind of internal strife.

In the end, aren't all the dead and injured the Qian people?

On this point, Shen Moshen saw it very clearly—the real enemy of Daqian was never the domestic warlord forces that were hostile to each other, but those foreigners who were eyeing Daqian with covetous eyes and ready to carve it up at any time!

Therefore, Shen Moshen's strategy was to start by striking hard, so that other warlord forces in the Great Qian Dynasty would quickly realize the huge gap between them and the Youzhou army.

At this stage, the Youzhou army must demonstrate its unimaginable fighting power in front of everyone and thus give other warlord forces a great shock!

Therefore, the operational plan to launch a blitzkrieg against three provinces within half a month was born—its main purpose being a show of force.....................

Shen Moshen understood that simply showing other warlords their superior weaponry was far from enough.

We must demonstrate the Youzhou army's combat capabilities through several decisive and impressive battles.

Otherwise, many people will still be dissatisfied.

-------------------------------------

Just as the Youzhou army was preparing to carry out a blitzkrieg against three provinces.

Zhuo Yongwang, who had just taken over Xie Kangnian's job, was not idle in the capital.

With the success of the punitive expedition, the Sala and Yi kingdoms naturally became beneficiaries of this war.

Therefore, as previously agreed, the Saluo and Yi Kingdoms would gain more benefits in Qian after Zhuo Yongwang came to power.

Especially given the current backdrop of a full-blown economic crisis in the global capital market.

Both the Salo and Yi Kingdoms need to acquire more benefits in Qian to alleviate the pressure on their respective domestic borders.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I, Zhuo Yongwang, am absolutely a man of my word."

“I know that Shaluo has been trying to obtain the railway construction rights in Youzhou for years.”

Looking at the visiting Salo ambassador to the capital, Pulan Gustav, Zhuo Yongwang made a direct promise: "After resolving the minor troubles in Youzhou and Jinzhou, I will immediately implement this matter for you."

"Ambassador Gustav must have heard about it by now, right?"

"Shen Moshen in Youzhou is causing some trouble. He actually colluded with traitors in the Jinzhou army and took advantage of Jinzhou's weak military strength to occupy Jinzhou."

"The Xie faction has just collapsed. Apart from some remnants of the Xie faction, it is inevitable that some fools will try to take advantage of the situation."

Zhuo Yongwang said casually, "However, Ambassador Gustav, please rest assured."

"The imperial court has urgently dispatched troops from the three provinces bordering Jinzhou to quell the rebellion in Jinzhou."

"The troubles in Youzhou and Jinzhou will soon be quelled."

"In addition, I have already had some preferential policies for your country's business drafted."

"As for the other requests we previously agreed to, we will fulfill them one by one."

"How about this, after we've settled things in Youzhou and Jinzhou, let's pick an auspicious day and hold a grand cooperation ceremony."

"Let's implement all the collaborations we agreed on in one go."

"I'll say it again—as long as I, Zhuo Yongwang, am here, you will be Daqian's best partners!"

"Thank you so much! We are so glad that we have chosen a trustworthy and reliable partner."

After receiving Zhuo Yongwang's personal promise, Sara's ambassador to the capital, Pulan Gustav, immediately stood up to express his gratitude.

"Your Excellency, the situation in Salo is extremely troublesome due to the economic collapse."

"At this time, being able to strengthen and deepen cooperation with Daqian is like sending charcoal in snowy weather for Shaluo!"

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, Sharo will never forget this kindness."

“No matter what, Sharo will always stand firmly in support of His Excellency.”

"Only the Chief Executive can control the overall situation in the capital; we will not recognize anyone else!"
