"Sima Hao really has a good calculation. He thought that deliberately letting go of the parliamentary army would justify our army's withdrawal from the land of Chu State. This is really fantastic."

　　

　　 On a high ground, Xiao Ming and Li Chuyuan chatted lightly.

　　

　　 Li Chuyuan sweated a little on his forehead, and did not dare to breathe. Although he knew that Xiao Ming's goal was to achieve the reunification of the Great Yu Kingdom, he had just cooperated with Sima and turned around and destroyed Sima. Some changes were too fast.

　　

　　 He couldn't help sighing in his heart that maybe he was really not suitable for strategy, he could only be played to death in front of Xiao Ming.

　　

　　 "The Sima clan had long been treasonous, and the ministers had the heart to eliminate it. Now it is really happy." Li Chuyuan smiled, and his heart was bitter. In his opinion, Xiao Ming and Sima Hao were not good people, but how could he be?

　　

　　 is nothing but a winner.

　　

　　 Xiao Ming nodded lightly, "Don't forget what else you have to do next, I will honor my promise to you."

　　

　　 The current situation in the Chu Kingdom is complicated. In addition to some of the support for the Sima family, there are also a group of people who support Li Chuyuan, but the strength of these people is obviously not comparable to the Sima family.

　　

　　 But it doesn't matter anymore. With the growth of his mind, Xiao Ming has already seen through many problems. He wants to build an immortal empire and must pay equal attention to grace and power, killing and benevolent.

　　

　　 Therefore, he no longer feels pity for the wealthy family of Chu. In the case of internal and external troubles, he only used iron and blood to bring Chu into the management of the court as soon as possible.

　　

　　 And the enemy that hinders this goal must be completely eliminated.

　　

　　Because of this, he decided to make Li Chuyuan a sin against himself, formally announcing that he would no longer inherit the king, ending the centuries-old rule of the Chu Kingdom by the Li family, and handing it over to the royal rule.

　　

　　 glanced at Li Chuyuan again, Xiao Ming patted him on the shoulder, Wang Xuan also sent other information during the defection a few days ago.

　　

　　 This information made him feel that the reunification of the Great Yu Kingdom is imminent, and he can no longer drag it so slowly.

　　

In fact, this is a set of data. According to various surveys conducted by Wang Xuan, he has obtained the approximate populations of some countries. Among them, the population of Japan is 22 million, the population of Britain is 29 million, and the population of France is 32 million. Tsarist Russia has a population of 44 million, and India has a population of 120 million.

　　

　　 In addition, the population of Korea is seven million and five hundred thousand, the population of the Netherlands is 1.9 million and so on.

　　

　　 This general data is similar to the contemporary data recorded by the technology spar. In fact, with the improvement of living standards, the population of Europe has increased sharply.

　　

　　 But I have to say that these population data put a lot of pressure on Xiao Ming, because the current population of Dayu State is only slightly advantageous.

　　

　　Relatively speaking, these countries are all populous countries, especially Tsarist Russia.

　　

　　Understanding this, Xiao Ming dared not take it lightly. The enemies he faced would be a very powerful force if they unite. In history, although Europe has often fought internally, it has always been united with foreign enemies, such as responding to the Ottoman invasion.

　　

　　 But dealing with the enemy always requires flexibility. He also has a plan to split Europe and a plan to deal with another new country.

　　

　　 According to information obtained by Wang Xuan, the British Sequoia Army just lost in the North American Colonial War, and the American War of Independence has begun.

　　

　　 The Netherlands, Spain, France, Tsarist Russia, Denmark, Sweden, and Austria all secretly supported the independence war in the North American colonies, and the Sequoia Army was in a difficult situation.

　　

　　 For Xiao Ming, he has no affection for the United States, which is clamoring for independence, but from the background of this era, Britain is the world's hegemon.

　　

　　 That's why France, Tsarist Russia, and the like would support his colonial independence. According to the normal logic, he should support this new country, because then Britain will lose a large part of its territory. After all, it is now Britain that is the world's hegemon.

　　

　　 After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming shook his head again. Although he has many ideas, he is still beyond reach. What he has to do now is just a powerful Great Yu Country.

　　

　　 As for whether the United States is established, he is not very worried, after all, this new country is very weak, he can bully whatever he wants.

　　

　　 The fierce gunfire continued, and then the rumbling gunfire also rang.

　　

　　 Xiao Ming continued to look, and the current war in Suzhou City had already become intense.

　　

　　The Hu Ben Army soldiers with falcon rifles fired at the trenches dug by the merchant council outside the city. The soldiers flexibly ran between the trenches and obstacles on the ground.

　　

　　 The awkward Chu army still moved towards them with a flintlock rifle, and this dense formation immediately became a favorite of artillery.

　　

　　 Three hundred and sixty field guns were loaded with bloom shells and directly bombed the Chu army marching in dense formation.

　　

　　 The shells exploded in the pile of people, and the soldiers of the Chu army rose into the air with the splashing mud. After the shells were not fired, the Chu army's array would be short of a large piece.

　　

　　 "Boom boom boom..."

　　

　　 The artillery seems to have found an opportunity to vent, they are fighting more vigorously, and the frequency of artillery shooting has also increased.

　　

　　 At the same time as the bombardment, some tiger soldiers formed an array of skirmishers, and after shooting with a distance advantage, they quickly dispersed.

　　

　　 Under this fierce attack, the Chu Army soldiers finally collapsed. Only half an hour’s time before Suzhou City left more than 8,000 Chu Army corpses.

　　

　　 The most important thing was that these soldiers had no chance to shoot until they died. This kind of despair caused the morale of the Chu army to collapse.

　　

"kill!"

　　

　　 Lu Fei shouted, and the soldiers rushed out of the trench towards the disintegrated Chu army.

　　

　　 A soldier of the tiger army took a step and loaded a paper shell bullet into the gun chamber. When he closed the locking structure, the locking structure cut the paper shell bullet to expose the gunpowder, the trigger was pulled, and the flash cap ignited the gunpowder.

　　

With a "pop", the soldiers of Chu State from fifty meters away fell to the ground~lightnovelpub.net~Xiao Ming closed his gaze at this time. This is the advantage of the breech rifle over the flintlock rifle. Before losing, he wants to unify the great Yu country.

　　

　　 "Boom boom boom..."

　　

　　 In the rain of bullets, the soldiers of the Chu Army suffered heavy casualties. These soldiers of the Chu Army and the sons of the wealthy tribe, who had been living in the comfort zone, fled everywhere crying and crying. Now they finally understand that the war is not more beautiful than the military uniform.

　　

　　 Li Chuyuan followed Xiao Ming, he also saw this scene, his expression suddenly became more respectful.

　　

　　 Suzhou is a big city, and it is connected to Taihu Lake. It can be said that it controls the water and land routes in the south of the Yangtze River. With Suzhou as its support, Lin'an is tantamount to being under threat from the royal army at any time.

　　

　　 "The emperor, the soldiers are ready." Niu Ben suddenly said to Xiao Ming, with a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.

　　

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed. When they were in Jinling City, they set a strategy to stabilize the Chu Kingdom. He said: "All the wealthy family properties are seized and the land is allocated to the people for farming. I want the people in Jiangnan to see what It's the emperor's grace!"
