Chapter 1219 The Fate of the Wolf Warrior
In the second half of Gaia's sixth year, as European and American powers coveted the fat of South America, the American continent, which had been calm before, suddenly became lively.
The Indian Empire, which dominated South America, suddenly fell into a situation of besieged on all sides.
In August, the Dawson Dynasty captured the Columbia area adjacent to Panama. While consolidating its control over the waterway of the Panama Canal, it also posed a direct threat to the northern border of the Indian Empire.
In September, the Argentine region, located at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, announced its submission to the Spanish dynasty.
In this way, one north and one south, the Indian Empire was attacked from top to bottom.
Seeing that the Indian Empire was overwhelmed, in October, the Brazilian region, which had already bowed to the empire, brazenly became independent and formed the Brasilia Dynasty, intending to use the hands of Europe and the United States to compete with the Indian Empire.
Coupled with the Venezuelan region that has not yet been conquered by the empire, the South American continent is full of wars.
Faced with powerful enemies looking around, the Indian Empire was struggling to cope, coupled with frequent natural disasters, Juárez, the lord of the empire, realized that the empire alone could no longer dominate the overall situation in South America.
If it drags on, the situation will only get worse.
At a critical juncture, Juarez thought of Daxia as an ally.
During this period of time, Daxia has been killing all directions in the country, sweeping away the crowd, and has long been looked at by the lords of the world. Although Daxia did not use troops abroad, the legend of Daxia has been circulating abroad.
Juarez's plan was that the Indian Empire would cede the Ecuador region to Bactria and let Bactria garrison here to fight against the Dawson Dynasty.
Ecuador is located in the south of Colombia. In the early days, the Indian Empire assisted Bactria and won a permanent port on the South American continent, which was located in Ecuador.
This time Juarez was so "generous" that he directly ceded the entire area to Daxia.
Ouyang Shuo could see through Juarez's plan at a glance. He just wanted to use Daxia's hand to curb the Dawson Dynasty's invasion of the Indian Empire.
In this way, the empire can be freed up to clean up the Spanish dynasty in the north and the Brasilia dynasty in the east. Especially the Brasilia dynasty, which turned back on its word, must be purged, otherwise what is the prestige of the empire.
Although he saw Juarez, Ouyang Shuo didn't refuse directly.
The bait of "Ecuador" thrown by the Indian Empire may not be impossible for Daxia to swallow. After it is reasonably digested, it is not yet known who will be the fisherman and who will be the fish in the future.
As Zhang Liang said, "This is an excellent opportunity for the dynasty to intervene in the American continent."
Prior to this, because of the existence of the Indian Empire, Ouyang Shuo had no intention of setting foot in the South American continent, in order to avoid conflicts with the Indian Empire in the future and lose the only ally in the world.
As for the North American continent, there is no place for Daxia to intervene.
At present, the Indian Empire is under pressure and voluntarily cedes the Ecuador region. For Daxia, it is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to intervene in the American battlefield.
As for the future?
"Let's dive in first." Ouyang Shuo thought.
The worst outcome is nothing more than the withdrawal of troops from South America, which is not a big loss to Great Xia. But once a firm foothold is established in South America, it can be used as a fulcrum to radiate the entire American continent.
The Dawson dynasty is no longer mysterious.
Furthermore, if the Indian Empire wants to realize its intentions, it is impossible to sit back and watch Ecuador lose. If necessary, it will definitely provide food and supplies to help the Great Xia Army stabilize the situation.
Of course, from the perspective of Daxia, it is best to let the Indian Empire fall into the quagmire of war with the Spanish dynasty and the Brasilia dynasty. Only in this way can Daxia have room to play.
The calculations involved are intricate.
Based on this judgment, Ouyang Shuo agreed to the request of the envoy of the Indian Empire, agreed to take over the Ecuador region, and at the same time sent a large army to garrison it.
Seeing this, the messenger returned with satisfaction.
Then, the Great Xia Cabinet passed the administrative plan for the Ecuador region at the fastest speed, and decided to establish Ecuador County in the area, which was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.
The county government was named the Fulcrum City, and for this reason, Ouyang Shuo used the teleportation talisman for the last round.
On the contrary, in the governance system of Ecuador County, there are differences in the cabinet. The chief minister of the cabinet, Jiang Shang, meant that Ecuador County was isolated overseas and faced a powerful enemy like the Dawson Dynasty. Most of the county's decisions were also related to the war. Therefore, it was suggested to arrange a general to sit in the town and take care of the military and government.
However, Kou Zhun, the second assistant, insisted on the general principle of separation of military and government, which cannot be confused, let alone make exceptions.
The dispute between the two parties could only be handed over to Ouyang Shuo for adjudication.
Ouyang Shuo combined the opinions of both sides, and considered the actual situation of Ecuador County, and decided to appoint a governor of Ecuador on the premise of appointing a governor of Ecuador.
In normal times, the governor and the Jiedushi have nothing to do with each other; in wartime, the Jiedushi is given the power to govern, and can mobilize the resources of the entire county to serve the war, with war as the first priority.
This not only maintains the principle of separation of the military and the government, but also gives the commanding generals a certain degree of autonomy.
Ouyang Shuo personally delineated the candidates for Ecuador County Sheriff, and named Zhou Haichen, the current governor of Tenyue County in Yunnan Province. Undoubtedly, this is also a civil official of Ouyang Shuo's direct lineage, and he is the focus of training.
Zhou Haichen has served as assistant to the administrative director, magistrate of Youyi County, magistrate of Leishan, and governor of Tenyue County. He has rich working experience. Ouyang Shuo plans to let Zhou Haichen experience some more experience in Ecuador County and give him the post of governor in the future.
The presence of Zhou Haichen is also an invisible check and balance for Jiedushi.
Regarding the candidates for the Ecuadorian military envoy, whether it was the cabinet or the Privy Council, one or two were recommended, but they were all rejected by Ouyang Shuo. Because Ouyang Shuo already had a suitable candidate in his heart.
As the first Jiedu envoy of the Great Xia, it is necessary to choose a person with both civil and military skills.
More importantly, in view of the complicated situation in the American continent, as a Jiedu envoy, acting on behalf of the Great Xia in America, he must be calm and able to hold his breath at critical moments; he must also be tactful and able to deal with various forces; There must also be a spirit and bravery to be able to make contributions on the battlefield.
Three opposing personalities in one person, such a talent is not easy to find.
Ouyang Shuo's ideal candidate is Zhan Lang, Qihou of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Governor of the East China Sea. This person has served as the Lord of Red Blood for a long time, with both civil and military skills, and has been able to conceal the identity of the Azure Badge until now, which shows his calmness and forbearance.
During the [Yanhuang League] period, Wolf Warrior was the mediator between Dichen, Xiongba and Chunshenjun.
The current Wolf Warrior is low-key and introverted, even a little self-defeating. It seems that he lacks vigor and bravery, but Ouyang Shuo knows that this is just an appearance.
Warrior Wolf is a born soldier, and the blood in his bones is no less than anyone else.
What a wolf like this lacks is a stage to spread its wings and fly high.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to give Warrior Wolf such a stage, so that Wolf Warrior could throw away the shackles of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, give it a go, and fully release his talent.
"I didn't expect that the opportunity to subdue this person was actually sent by the Indian Empire." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and dialed the communication compass of Wolf Warrior without any further hesitation.
"King Xia."
The war wolf in the video has a calm expression, as if he had expected this day to come.
Ouyang Shuo knew about Wolf Warrior's "spy" status, so when the Zhanlan Badge walked from behind the scenes to the front desk, Wolf Warrior felt ashamed, because his handle was in the hands of the enemy.
When Xiong Ba rebelled against Da Zhou and the 400,000 Ming army was destroyed, Zhan Lang finally made up his mind not to sit still and brazenly command the Red Blood Army to attack Da Ming.
The East China Sea Province is the only bargaining chip in the hands of Zhan Lang.
But a natural disaster changed the quality of this bargaining chip. Originally, after the capture of Ming Dynasty, in addition to gaining the services of a group of civil servants and generals, Zhan Lang also brought tens of millions of people in Jianye into his pocket.
The future East China Sea Province may not be able to become the second Great Jin Dynasty.
It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.
The October natural disaster, Donghai Province, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, was the hardest hit area.
A plague of locusts has greatly reduced the grain production of counties and counties in the East China Sea, and some counties and counties have even lost their crops. As early as the Battle of the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to support the front line, Dichen ordered an emergency food requisition.
People all over the country are counting on the second season of rice to tide over the difficulties.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment when the rice was about to mature, God suddenly made such a move, directly pushing the people of Donghai into the abyss.
For this reason, Zhan Langji's hair turned white, but he was still helpless.
The 10 million people from Jianye, who were originally the foundation of the country, became the biggest burden of the East China Sea Province in a blink of an eye, overwhelming the war wolf.
Zhan Lang once asked Di Chen for help, and was even ready to bow to Di Chen for the sake of the people of the East China Sea, but the Great Zhou was hit by a disaster, and Di Chen himself was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he have the ability to help the East China Sea Province?
At this point, only Daxia can save Donghai.
Perhaps in his heart, Zhan Lang has long been looking forward to this video call.
"Come to Daxia, I will give you a stage."
As Ouyang Shuo said, he briefly explained the situation in Ecuador County, and finally said: "The pool of water in Huaxia District can't hold you anymore, go to the American continent, and lay down a piece of land for Daxia and for yourself. "
Zhan Lang took a deep look at Ouyang Shuo, and after a long time, he only said one word: "Okay!"
A word is worth a fortune.
Ouyang Shuo knew that with the nature of a war wolf, once he agreed, he would never go back on his word.
"The imperial court plans to set up the South American Corps in Ecuador County. In view of the supply level in Ecuador County, it can only provide two legions for the time being. In the future, the South American Corps will be the South American Army."
Wolf Warrior nodded, expressing his understanding.
He had been a lord before, so of course he knew that it was barely enough to support two legions with one county. It was impossible to support a group army, and it would only overwhelm the local people.
"The South American Corps will be streamlined by the Red Blood Army, you should prepare." Ouyang Shuo gave Zhan Lang a big gift.
Following the establishment of Jiedushi, Ouyang Shuo broke another example.
Prior to this, there was no lord or general who could lead the old ministry and fight on the battlefield after surrendering to Daxia.
Even Wolf Warrior is grateful for this kindness.
Ouyang Shuo is just Ouyang Shuo, unlike Di Chen who only knows how to calculate, when it is time to be heroic, he is really heroic, no wonder he can convince a group of heroes.
"Follow the king's order!"
Zhan Lang bowed deeply and returned to his heart so far.
