The civil strife in the Hanhai court accelerated the collapse of the Hanhai Dynasty. Under the joint attack of the Far Eastern Army and the Freedom Alliance, the army was defeated like a mountain.
The undead legion, the fire phoenix legion, the royal city guards and other powerful troops laid down their weapons one after another and surrendered to the Far East Empire or the Freedom Alliance.
The army commanded by Marshal Xu Zhenghao of Hanhai Seeing that the situation is over, they are trapped in a foreign land and are helpless.
On the condition that the Far East Empire promised to lay down its arms and let the past go, Marshal Xu Zhenghao led his troops to lay down their arms and surrender in Dongjiang Province in the Far East on July 15th, announcing the end of the southern war.
Almost at the same time when Xu Zhenghao led his troops to surrender, Fatty Lu, the expeditionary marshal of the Far East Empire, led his troops to capture the Holy Land of the Holy See.
When the expeditionary force of the Far Eastern Empire occupied the entire territory of the Holy See, the Pope, unwilling to fail, gathered 100,000 core congregants to defend the Holy Land.
At first, Fatty Lu, the marshal of the expeditionary force, underestimated the enemy. They felt that the congregation was just a rabble, so they only sent two banner groups to attack.
Unexpectedly, he encountered stubborn resistance from the congregation of the Holy See, which angered Fatty Lu, and he immediately mobilized a large army to besiege, and all kinds of weapons went into battle in turn.
They blew up the walls of the Holy Land. Fatty Lu thought the battle would end soon, but unexpectedly he faced an unprecedented brutal street battle.
One hundred thousand congregants competed with the Far Eastern Army's attacking troops from street to house. This street battle lasted for half a month.
It wasn't until the entire city was turned into ruins and corpses piled up like a mountain that the Far Eastern Army completely captured this holy place with great symbolic significance.
This is the second time that Fatty Lu has captured here. Compared with the ease of the first raid, this time he paid a tragic price of 30,000 servants and 10,000 soldiers of the Far East Army.
Fortunately, those 100,000 core believers who were loyal to the Pope were also wiped out in this brutal street battle.
Compared with those congregants of the Holy See who fought to the last drop of blood, Han Hai seemed much more spineless.
? Seeing that the general situation was over, the main armies did not want to be wiped out by the Far Eastern Army or the Freedom Alliance, so they chose to surrender in exchange for favorable treatment.
Officials at all levels in Hanhai prefectures are actually rotten. They corrupt the law and oppress the people on weekdays, and they have already made a lot of money.
Now seeing that the situation is not good and the court is paralyzed, they all swept away a large amount of property one after another and fled directly.
There are also some officials who have already been bought by the Freedom Alliance, and directly surrendered to the Freedom Alliance.
The Far East Empire lacks a lot in terms of bribery, but the Far East Empire has a powerful army.
In particular, Yuan Jie's Twelfth Cavalry Corps displayed its strategic ability to maneuver at high speed in this battle.
Their cavalry divided up and attacked various towns. Seeing the arrival of the brave Far East cavalry, the Hanhai soldiers guarding the place saw that the officials ran away, so they fled directly.
As a result, the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army can sometimes occupy a town with just a team of scouts and light cavalry.
Therefore, the resistance encountered by the units of the Far Eastern Army was very low. Although the officials in a few towns showed loyalty and bravery, they vowed to live and die with the city and the vast sea.
But before he finished speaking, he was tied up by soldiers who didn't want to die, and presented to the Far East Army as a certificate of surrender.
After Yuan Jie's Twelfth Cavalry Corps and the Freedom Alliance's army successfully joined forces in the Royal City of Hanhai, a grand celebration ceremony was held.
After the celebration ceremony, representatives of the two armies also reached a tacit agreement, that is, to carve up the large area that is still in the hands of Hanhai officials and the army, and whoever grabs it will get it.
The 100,000-strong army of the First Field Army led by Lei Ming of the Far East Empire and the Fifth Army of the Freedom Alliance occupied the royal city of Hanhai.
The rest of the Far Eastern Army and the Freedom Alliance troops were dispatched to various places, besieged cities and lands, and launched a vigorous large-scale military operation to seize territory.
The Far East Army relies on a powerful army, and the Freedom Alliance relies on sugar-coated shells of all kinds of heavy money, and the temptation of high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
In this operation to seize the territory, the Liberty Alliance took the lead because of its deep penetration into the vast sea.
Of course, when the territory was being seized, there were several small-scale conflicts between the Far Eastern army and the Freedom Alliance army.
In the context of the two armies fighting side by side and being allies, such small-scale conflicts were quickly resolved under the mediation of higher-level officers.
&The court will allocate some funds, and some of them can be paid by Wu Zhenrui and other wealthy businessmen. "Chen Ziang laughed.
"Although they are as rich as an enemy, if they are asked to pay a lot of money to build ships for the imperial court, they probably won't be willing, right?"
"Although they dare not give up their money if they are asked to pay for nothing, they are not happy in their hearts, so we can adopt a cooperative approach."
Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Let them pay for the shipbuilding, but the navy fleet of the empire can be responsible for providing escorts for their future sea trade and eliminating pirates, etc., and they will not suffer."
Commerce in the Far East has always been underdeveloped. After the establishment of the empire, commerce has also flourished.
However, most of the commerce is carried out on land, and the sea is completely controlled by the Free Alliance.
Merchants from the Far East once wanted to organize a trip to sea, but they encountered pirates when they went out to sea.
Now the imperial court is cooperating with merchants to expand the fleet in the Far East, open up trade routes to the sea, and sell goods from the Far East. They must be willing.
"In addition to strengthening our navy, the Overwatch Council should also strengthen the supervision of officials in various provinces and counties to prevent them from being corrupted by eating, drinking, and having fun."
This time the Hanhai Dynasty collapsed so quickly, a large part of the reason was the bribery of the Liberty Alliance. They almost smashed cities with huge sums of money.
Chen Ziang did not want the officials in the Far East to be bribed, because compared with conquest by force, soft knives are more difficult to guard against.
"This time the empire can turn the tide and win the final victory. It cannot be separated from the support of the lovers in the rear, and it cannot be separated from the life of the frontline soldiers, and it cannot be separated from the people like Miss Shen. The hero who crossed the ocean to seek foreign aid."
Chen Ziang cast his eyes on Qin An, the chief of the General Affairs Department, and said: "The General Affairs Department, together with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, will draw up a list of rewards as soon as possible. This time, I will reward the ministers who have made great contributions!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
Hearing that Chen Ziang wanted to reward meritorious ministers, everyone was also full of joy. After all, they also made contributions, and they were full of expectations.
"The wars in various places are also coming to an end, but there are still many remnants of the enemy everywhere, stragglers and rogue soldiers. The troops cannot relax their vigilance. The next step is to clear up the remnants of the enemy and stabilize the local order."
"Officials transferred from the empire to the Holy See, the vast sea and the grasslands must also be trained and set off as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty, great joy!"
When Chen Ziang was discussing the aftermath with the ministers, Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, trotted outside the hall with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, Empress Chu just gave birth to a dragon son for Her Majesty, and the mother and child are safe." Yuan Pu shouted happily.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of a dragon son."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Today is really double happiness."
Hearing that Empress Chu Yue also gave birth to a son for Chen Ziang, all the officials congratulated him one after another.
"Thank you dear dears, thank you."
Chen Ziang was overjoyed when he heard that Chu Yue had also given birth, and couldn't wait to go to the harem to see his newborn second son.
"My dear friends, let's leave first, and just follow what we discussed just now."
Seeing Chen Ziang trotting all the way towards the harem regardless of his image, the smiling ministers also left the Qinzheng Hall talking and laughing.
