April is the season of bright spring, birds and flowers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Shanhai City is also full of vitality, flowers bloom everywhere, green willows sprout, in the park, by the pavilion, on the small bridge can be seen everywhere the crowd of people enjoying the flowers, talking and laughing, a prosperous scene.

It has been a week since the world-renowned enthronement ceremony, and the lively Shanhai City has gradually returned to its original track. It's just that life has changed after all, and on the streets where people come and go, you can occasionally see people with titles passing by, enjoying the envious eyes of the people around them.

"Title" has suddenly become a popular word in the mouths of the people, and in addition to wealth and well-being in the market life, it seems to have added a new and higher pursuit.

Living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people of the capital have a sky-high arrogance for no reason, and they are unwilling to be left behind; And this kind of pride and fighting spirit is the spirit necessary to create a prosperous world.

The Great Xia Dynasty is still moving forward.

…………

Summer Palace, Imperial Study.

After some running-in, the operation of the imperial court gradually got on the right track, and hundreds of officials performed their duties.

Ouyang Shuo, the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, frowned inadvertently, and the root cause was a secret letter in front of the case. The letter was sent by Henry, lord of Vic City, France, with bad news.

A few days ago, under the pressure of the [Silver Hand] high-level management, Vic City finally decided to withdraw from the [Mediterranean Alliance] and terminate the supply of materials to Base Point City.

The cooperation between the two came to an abrupt end.

Yesterday, Vic City sent the last batch of supplies to Base Point City, which was only enough to maintain Base Point City for half a month. Without Vic's supplies, Cardinal City is now in turmoil.

In the letter, Henry apologized for this and regretted that he could not continue to cooperate with the Great Xia Dynasty, but he was resolute in his attitude towards breach of contract.

Obviously, this time, the pressure exerted by the [Silver Hand] made it impossible for Henry to shirk it any longer.

"It's time to come, it's still here after all!"

Fortunately, Henry still has a little conscience and talks to Ouyang Shuo in advance, otherwise, the current situation of Jidian City will be even worse.

Henry's move exposes the contradictions in his heart, one is that Vic City is temporarily unable to resist the organization's arrangement, and the other is that Henry does not want to completely offend the already powerful Great Xia Dynasty.

This kind of mentality is also very common within the [Silver Hand], and the conflict between collective interests and individual interests has never been a new topic.

And with Wake City's withdrawal from the [Mediterranean Alliance], the already shaky and fragile alliance is in danger of collapsing at any time. Although now that Kalia was in front, Ouyang Shuo couldn't really be indifferent.

Who knows how far this turmoil in the Mediterranean will go?

Atlantis City is the most reliable ally of the Bactria Dynasty in the Mediterranean, and safeguarding the interests of Atlantis City is actually safeguarding the interests of the Bactria Dynasty in the Mediterranean.

There is no conflict between the two.

Ouyang Shuo saw this very clearly.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo came to the window, looked across the distant sky, and inadvertently cast himself towards the Mediterranean Sea thousands of miles away, thinking in his heart: "It's time to go to the Mediterranean Sea too!" ”

At this moment, the female official came to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang and Master Kou have arrived!" ”

The Cabinet office is located in the Summer Palace, not far from the Imperial Study. After reading Henry's letter and making up his mind, Ouyang Shuo summoned these two elders for the first time.

Before leaving, many things Ouyang Shuo had to be arranged in advance; After all, the new dynasty has just been established, and the foundation is unstable, so there is no room for any mistakes.

Ouyang Shuo turned around and said, "Please let them in!" ”

"No!"

Leaning slightly, Jiang Shang and Kou Zhun walked into the imperial study under the guidance of the female official, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty! ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Come on, sit down!" ”

"Look at this."

Ouyang Shuo said and handed over the letter written by Henry. Jiang Shang took the letter and scanned it carefully, but his face was impassive, and he handed it to Kou Zhun on the side.

After Kou Zhun finished reading, Ouyang Shuo asked, "What does the second elder think, how should this matter be handled?" ”

The two looked at each other, but they didn't know where to start. Needless to say, Kou Zhun has just arrived and is just familiar with the operation of the imperial court, and he really knows a little about the overseas affairs of the dynasty, so it is naturally difficult to speak.

Even Jiang Shang, because he had been working in the Southwest University Hall before, didn't know much about this matter. Now it is really difficult for some strong people to ask them to express their opinions rashly.

Just one point, the two of them are determined in their hearts.

The city was an important fulcrum of the dynasty's maritime trade routes, and the maritime trade was an important source of the dynasty's finances, and its strategic position was extraordinary.

That's why it's even harder for them to jump to conclusions.

The two glanced at each other, and Jiang Shang said, "Please also ask the king to judge!" ”

Ouyang Shuo just smiled, and didn't care, and said: "The waves in the Mediterranean Sea are related to the great cause of the dynasty, and something must be done." In the eyes of the king, the military campaign against Morocco could be officially launched. ”

Jiang Shang was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood the king's intention of summoning the two of them, but really did not ask for any advice, but had other plans, and asked tentatively: "The king is preparing to conquer Morocco in person?" ”

Ouyang Shuo glanced at Jiang Shang appreciatively, he was worthy of being an old man, it was really a word.

"Not bad." Ouyang Shuo did not deny it, nodded and said: "The situation in the Mediterranean is complex and involves a wide range of people, and it is not enough for this king to go to the town in person, which is not enough to stabilize the situation and open up the situation." ”

Jiang Shang was silent, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to say: "During the period of this king's personal expedition, there will be two elders in the government affairs of the dynasty!" ”

Jiang Shang and Kou Zhun glanced at each other, knowing that the king had made up his mind, but they were powerless to stop it, so they could only get up together, bow down and say, "Obey the king's orders!" ”

Ouyang Shuo is not sincere in wanting to be the shopkeeper, now that the dynasty system has been finalized, even if Ouyang Shuo, the king of Xia, is not in the palace for the time being, as soon as the government affairs have their own charter, they can't mess up.

In contrast, it is imperative to deal with the Mediterranean problem well.

Seeing off the two elders, Ouyang Shuo's personal expedition began to be arranged in full swing. This is Ouyang Shuo's first personal expedition since he ascended the throne, and it is of extraordinary significance, so he is naturally careless.

First, choose your followers.

Tsing Yi and Jia Xu are the two of them who want to take with them, and then there is the Shenwuwei led by Xu Chu.

The head of the newly promoted female officials of the inner palace, "Big Aunt" Zisu, selected two senior female officials and four of the most intimate palace maids from the inner palace to be responsible for Ouyang Shuo's diet and daily life outside.

The rest also have the frame prepared by the Taifu Temple, and so on.

Ouyang Shuo naturally didn't have to worry about this, what he had to think about now was which legions should be mobilized to fight in Morocco this time, so that the Privy Council could issue military orders in advance and get ready.

Ouyang Shuo is not ignorant of Morocco.

After Black Snake Wei transferred its main business overseas, one of its main efforts in the near future is to be responsible for the comprehensive investigation of Moroccan intelligence and make preliminary preparations for the army to attack Morocco.

It is reported that the main cities of Morocco are basically distributed on the northwest coast, including the capital Rabat, the garden city of Casablanca, the port city of Tangier and Agadir and so on.

The most important thing is the total number of Moroccan players, which is expected to be around 2.5 million.

This also means that the enemies faced by the Great Xia Dynasty Expeditionary Force include at least 250,000 Royal City Guards, more than 300,000 combat professional players, and 200,000 lord armies.

Therefore, compared to the previously destroyed Star Country, Morocco is not a bone to gnaw on. If you want to take Morocco, the Great Xia Royal City needs to use at least three or four hundred thousand elite troops.

In addition, it is necessary to consider the reaction of European countries such as Spain, Portugal and France in the Mediterranean Sea in the event of a war in Morocco, and prepare in advance.

What's worse is that the Great Xia Dynasty's expedition only has a small outpost in Base Point City, and if nothing else, whether it can accommodate the expeditionary force is a big question.

As for logistical supply, it is a huge problem.

If this expedition fails, hundreds of thousands of troops will be killed, and there will be big trouble.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo will first take Shenwuwei to the base point city to do the preliminary mediation and preparation. The real dispatch of the army will have to wait until the right time, and everything will be planned before sending troops.

On the army side, Ouyang Shuo temporarily demarcated the Second and Third Legions of the Praetorian Guard, the First Legion and the Fifth Legion of the Longxiang Army.

According to the principle set by Ouyang Shuo before, after the founding of the dynasty, he would no longer arbitrarily mobilize the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, which was responsible for the defense of the royal city, and the city guards stationed outside the city.

Therefore, although the Rock Army is a good hand in attacking the city, Ouyang Shuo can only endure the pain and cut his love.

Among the three major field armies, the five corps of the Tiger Ben Army had strong enemies around them, and none of them were suitable for mobilization; Because of the new defense of the satellite city, the Leopard Tao Army can't get out of it for the time being.

At most, the Fourth Army of the Leopard Tao Army can only be drawn to fight.

Ouyang Shuo calculated, but he could only send the Long Xiang army to fight. At present, among the four major provinces, Yunnan Province also occupies a favorable geographical position, and the border is the most stable, so there is no need to station too many troops for the time being.

The Praetorian Guard said that they would teleport directly from Shanhai City.

The First Legion of the Dragon Warrior Army is stationed outside Lingxi City, and it can also be teleported to Base Point City through the teleportation array of Lingxi City. However, the Fifth Legion, which has just been reorganized, needs to arrive at Shanhai City first and then teleport.

The navy can only rely on the Mediterranean Fleet, and even the Star Continent Fleet, which is closest to the Mediterranean, wants to rush over for reinforcements, which is unrealistic.

Ouyang Shuo hoped that the Mediterranean fleet under the command of Alvaro would not let him down.

decided to go to the army, and Ouyang Shuo handed over the rest of the matter to the Privy Council to deal with. On April 27, Ouyang Shuo took Shenwuwei and a retinue and quietly left Shanhai City.
