The Rise and Fall of Dong Song, This Battle Decides It
Chapter 1510:The Rise and Fall of Dong Song, This Battle Decides It
The war on Shenzhou mainland has long been expected by the high-level and the capital of the Great Zhou Republic, which is determined by the strength of the warring sides.
There are hundreds of thousands of elite infantry in the Western Song Dynasty, and the mainland of the East Song has a population of 100 million, and it is also an industrialized country.Mobilizing and equipping millions of troops is not at all.
Want to rely on a quick-and-down to defeat such two opponents, is basically wishful thinking.
Of course, the series of offensive operations played by the two Songs and the Song forces on the ground in Henan Province also exceeded the expectations of the two-horse company.
In front of Zhao Liang will be blocked in front of Xiangcheng, Xucheng, and Xingchang, and they are busy for a while - they also know that Zhao Liang will target the Yellow River Dam.This is almost the only weakness of the Great Zhou Republic in this war.
However, the organization and mobilization ability of industrialized countries is not in the same dimension compared with feudal countries such as Western Song.Zhao Liang's victory in Henan was soon drowned by the rapidly mobilizing army.
In addition to the amazing ability to mobilize industrialization, the improvement of the capacity of the Central Plains Canal brought by the steam engine has also become a huge weight that overwhelms Zhao Liang.
After more than 200 years of "yellow, Huai, and transportation comprehensive management", by the time of the Republic 226, the water transport system, which is mainly dried up by the Five-Hid River, the Fen River, the Cai River, the Jinshui River, the Yellow River and the Yongji River, has not only not been broken, but also played a more important role than ever before!
When it comes to the Central Plains water transport system, it is inevitable to involve the industrial and agricultural and urban layout of the Republic of China today.
After more than 200 years of capitalist development, the distribution of the population of the Great Week has become very uneven.Four metropolitan areas, including Yanjin, Xu Hai, Liaohe and Kanto, Japan, have appeared.Sixty percent of the 140 million people live in these four metropolitan areas.The remaining more than 56 million people are located in unusually large areas.
At this time, the territory of the king has become the mainland of the Great Zhou Republic, and the princes of the Oyster Kingdom have become rich people who receive an annual pension from the Grand Zhou Republic.Therefore, the mainland of the Great Zhou Republic has become very vast, not only including the Mongolian plateau, the northeastern part of the world, but also the entire East Siberia.
The economy of the metropolitan area, which supports the concentration of population, in the period of the first industrial revolution, can only be represented by the light industry of the textile industry.
The four metropolitan areas of the week are all textile industry centers, but they have a variety of different development priorities.
Among them, most of the cities in the Liaohe basin are based on the wool textile industry and its related industries - the pastoral area near the Liaohe River can provide a large amount of high-quality wool, making the wool textile industry of the Liaohe Valley city in a favorable competitive position.
The Yanjin region is the coexistence of cotton spinning and wool spinning, because the Yanjin region is at the intersection of the prairie and cotton plantations.
Xuhai region is the world's largest cotton textile production center, because close to Xuhai Henan, Shandong, is now a large province of cotton cultivation.
The Kanto metropolitan area of East Japan Province has developed into the center of the silk weaving industry.This is because the Japanese islands are the most suitable area for the cultivation of mulberry silkworms in the Republic of Great Weeks, where the quality of silk is not under the silk produced by Gangnam.
From the textile industry layout of these four metropolitan areas, it is not difficult to see that the rural areas of the current Grand Zhou Republic are actually part of industrialization.The demand for production and industrial and commercial cities is consistent.
In this case, how to reduce the transportation costs in inland areas such as the Central Plains and Hebei, and improving the efficiency of transportation has become a problem that the whole country needs to spend a lot of effort to solve.
And vigorously develop water transport, before the emergence and popularization of railways, naturally is the only choice.
Therefore, in the past 200 years, the canal networks throughout the Central Plains, Hebei and western Shandong have been carefully maintained.
After the advent of the steam engine, the first thing that people thought of was not the railway, but the steam engine was installed on inland water vessels for inland water transport.
Therefore, in the Republic 226 years, all over the Central Plains in the river, you can often see a long boat without power of the wooden boat, rumbling sailing.
Because of the use of steam power in the inland transportation, the capacity of the Central Plains Canal System has increased sharply, injecting new vitality into the economy of Henan and Hebei hinterland, and making the mobilization of the army in the Central Plains battlefield very rapidly.
The mobilization forces in the area of Xu Hai and Yanjin can be transported to the Henan front line in a very short period of time through inland water.Logistics supplies can also be sent to the front in large quantities at a very low cost.
In this case, the Great Zhou Republic also has the possibility of concentrating a large number of troops on the Henan battlefield.
Not a hundred thousand-level concentration, but a huge battle cluster that can be concentrated on millions of scale!
In the face of such a huge mobilization of forces and the ability to mobilize forces, the strategies of the military soldiers who fought in the West and Song were not worth mentioning at all.
Although in October and November of the Republic 226, the two Song forces (mainly the Western Song Army) played several more beautiful field battles in the capitals of Ru, Yin, Cai, and Luo in Henan Province.But despite the arrival of winter, the Yellow River entered the ice season, and the plan to flood the dam was completely bankrupt.
The two Songs also had to start contracting in early December.Because by the spring of next year, the recruits mobilized by Zhou Guo have almost completed their training, and that is millions of people!
For the main Western Song army on the Henan battlefield, so many enemies are simply invincible.
And in the series of battles in September, October and November, the Western Song Army also suffered a lot of losses - no victory is easy, after three months of fighting, in the Henan battlefield alone, the West Song Army casualties and missing people more than 150,000...
Now that land-based wars are locked in a stalemate, a life-and-death battle between two industrialized nations with a population of more than 100 million (the West Song is no longer a role) is unlikely to be the final battle in the short term.
But the situation on the sea is completely different!
The main force of the most powerful Nanyang Fleet in the Eastern Song Dynasty, at this time has left the port of Honji in Xingzhou and moved to the Gowa Naval Fortress on the western side of the Tianzhu Peninsula in the East Song Dynasty.
Gowa is Goa, originally owned by the gestational occult dynasty.Later, it was seized by the Eastern Song Dynasty and became the largest stronghold of the Eastern Song Dynasty on the Tianzhu Peninsula, and was also a trade center and naval base.
After more than 100 years of operation, Gowa has grown from a small Western trade port to a 10,000 square miles of land, more than half a million people, with developed commerce, mining, shipbuilding and agriculture.
Zhao Lianghong, the Go County King of the Eastern Song Dynasty, who now rules the country.He is a good-worded member of the Great Song Taizong family, and Zhao Liang will be his peers.However, the same generation is different, Zhao Lianghong is a hard-working life, a lot of old is busy on the battlefield for the country to fight.Zhao Lianghong is a happy life, he was born in the western palace of Gouzhou, the capital of the Gowa County.He was not a concubine, but born of his father and the concubine that the royal family of Tianzhu Polo married, half of the blood of Tianzhu Baifan.
But his father, Zhao, became one of his sons, and he was no longer a son.So it was not long before he was born as the king of the county, and he enjoyed his glory and wealth.When he was in his twenties, his father died, so he became the king of the county.Become the head of an overseas country!
And he is a good country lord, the Gowa country has a good geographical location, is the window for external exchanges on the west coast of zean.With the best natural port in the whole geranium, Zua Port, there are many large rivers in the country, the water resources are very rich, and the waterway transportation is also extremely convenient.
Even more rare is that the climate in Gowa County is very cool in the south-central lattice.Its inland areas are cooler because of their high altitude and are perfectly suitable for Han Chinese.
In addition, the inland areas of Gowa County are also rich in iron ore, clay, limestone and other minerals.These minerals can be transported by convenient waterway to the city of Gou, or processed locally, or exported through seaports.It brought a rolling source of money to the Gowa County.
However, the biggest source of finance in Gowa County is not minerals, or even trade, let alone agriculture, but finance.
In the past 200 years, the Tianzhu Peninsula has also been a dispute between the countries and an ups and downs.It is more chaotic than the three heroes of Huaxia Shenzhou, and there are not so many rules.
The big week of the three Xiongs in Huaxia, the East Song, a republic, and a united congregation are all capitalist and rule of law societies, and the protection of private property is still very full.
But this side of the tianzhu is different, here is the "right in Chang, power lost" place.
Therefore, the "outside place" of the geranium in Gowa County has also taken up, becoming the place where the geraniums and heroes store their wealth and step down.
In the course of more than 100 years of development, the wealth of tianzhu has also flowed to the country of Gowa County.
Over time, the financial industry in Gowa County has also had a flourishing foundation.After 200 years of United, the entire ternary financial lifeline was in the hands of the small Gowa County.
From the south bank of the Zua River, three sides of the water around the west of the sea wall on the west side of the sea to look to the west, the Zua River Street is more than the three-story, four-storey buildings with a Chinese-style roof, one more than one style.These tall buildings are all owned by the big Zhou, the Eastern Song, Egypt, Mongolia, the gold account, and the big banks in Gowa.The Zua River Street is also known as Gowakin Street.
The money that comes in and out of these banks every day can be counted in the tens of millions (two)!
The ups and downs of the geese are decided by the battlefield and the court conspiracy, and the other half by the banks on the Zua River Street.
As long as the bankers on the Zua River Street are willing to open their loans, the slightly more capable geranium warlords will be able to make a big deal.
Wang Zhao Lianghong of Gowa County is also a big banker himself, with a 51% stake in Tianzhu Bank.He is also the de facto controller of the Gozhou Stock Exchange.
The joint exchange is the largest stock exchange on the west coast of geranium, controlling 70 percent of the bond issuance and trading on the geranium peninsula, and hundreds of stocks traded on the Koh Chang Peninsula.The volume of transactions per day is also in the millions.
It can be said that the ups and downs on the Tianzhu Peninsula, Zhao Lianghong, the county king, can almost master the seven or eight hundred and eighty through the method of financial manipulation.
It is not enough to say that he is the most powerful man in the zenith!
But this man who has been on the Tianzhu Peninsula for more than a decade has now encountered a war that makes him feel powerless.
The King of Gowa County moved his eyes from the high-rise Zua River Street to the wide Zua River.
The wide river, now packed with reminders of the great sailboats, one after the other, had four long lines on the river.No more than 100!
The main force of the South Ocean Fleet in the Eastern Song Dynasty is now anchored on the Zua River!
The fleet came from the Zhou National Fleet, which was escorting Wu Yuankai to be affinity to Egypt.
The fleet that escorted Wu Yuankai had long since entered the Red Sea and should have now reached the port of Suez.
The main force of the Eastern Song Southern Ocean Fleet did not receive an invitation and was inconvenient to enter the Red Sea.So the colony of Bliss Island (Socotra) near the Gulf of Aden left a reconnaissance squadron, and then sailed to the Gowa County.While waiting for the Zhou fleet to leave the Red Sea, he waited for news of war and peace sent at home.
Over the years, Guohua County Wang Zhao Lianghong has been in power, but he has not manipulated the tianzhu group to go to war.However, he was still very afraid of the great battle between the three heroes of the summer that could break out.
This war seems to be different from the past, and the result is likely to be three points!
Does he have any of the kings of the East Song Dynasty?
Such a war, it is better not to fight...
It is not God’s will!
Just a month ago, news of war in Huaxia reached the Gowa County.
Now between the East Song and the Great Week, it is already in a state of all-out war.
However, the commander of the Eastern Song Southern Ocean Marine Corps, Admiral Pan Wuyang, who led the main force of the South Ocean Fleet to Gowa, was full of confidence.
Because in Pan Wuyang's view, the East Song Navy has now occupied a rare opportunity - the main force of the powerful Nanyang Fleet has blocked the three first-class battleships of the big week!
As long as they can be eliminated on the small westerns, the contrast between the East Song and the Big Week on the first-class battleship will become 6 to 7.Although it is still one less, it is much better than 6 to 10 before the war.
In the view of Marshal Pan Wuyang, the Great Zhou Republic sent three first-class battleships to escort Wu Yuankai into Egypt, which is definitely a stupid thing to go home.
The opportunity to annihilate the three first-class battleships of the Great Week is also the only opportunity for the East Song Dynasty to win the war.
East Songs Rise, in this battle!
After receiving the news of the war, Pan Wuyang immediately sent an army escort to Egypt on a large food merchant ship to deliver a diplomatic letter to the Egyptian Empress Anna II, demanding that the Egyptian government abide by the principle of neutrality and expel the fleet of the Great Republic, which had evicted from the Red Sea.
