The King of Fujian Zhang Wan stood on the attic of the Min Palace and looked at the city of Athens.
On the distant street, several cars were leaving the city of Athens.
This is the convoy where Governor Niu Xiuqing retired and returned home.
From this moment on, the King of Fujian Zhang Wan truly took control of the power of the King of Fujian.
He was extremely satisfied with the new capital.
There will no longer be a sky filled with yellow sand, nor will there be imperial battleships patrolling the surrounding areas.
He has warm memories in Cairo, but most of them are uncomfortable memories.
King Zhang Wan of Fujian fled to move the capital, which made him determined to move the capital. Athens used to be the frontier of Fujian.
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and Governor Niu Xiuqing are not very powerful here.
The King of Fujian Zhang Wan did not want to be a puppet emperor, so he could only use various methods to change the situation in Fujian.
After the capital of Fujian was moved, King Zhang Wan of Fujian allowed civilian officials to suppress military generals.
King Zhang Wan of Fujian took the opportunity to subdue some military generals.
Governor Niu Xiuqing was unable to lead the military to compete for interests with civilian officials, and he had been abandoned by the military.
King Zhang Wan of Fujian forced the governor Niu Xiuqing to resign and return to his hometown because of the corruption case in the army.
Now that he has basically mastered the military power of Fujian, he does not have to worry about the ministers coercing the emperor to order the princes.
The King of Fujian, Zhang Wan, knew that as long as he had military power, he would only need a decree to defeat the powerful civil servants.
His throne is truly stable, and he can realize his ambitions in this panic situation.
Even if the country he inherited from his father does not continue to expand, it must maintain the strength that Fujian should have.
King Zhang Wan of Fujian saw a young eunuch walking back and forth anxiously outside the attic.
He immediately asked: "Little John, come in! What's so urgent?"
The golden-haired eunuch Little John walked in with fear and fear in his Chinese with an exotic accent. He immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Gou Shanquan is waiting outside the palace.
Our Danji Port in Fujian was captured by Yue."
When King Zhang Wan of Fujian heard the news, his face surged with anger and turned purple.
He clenched his fists, and when the Yue State was not yet stable, he attacked the old vassal state of Fujian.
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, bullied him because he was a young king of Min.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Minister Gu Ming, Niu Xiuqing, lost power and the country was in internal chaos, to cut off the flesh of the country.
Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian, knew that the country of Fujian was now surrounded by wolves. If this matter was not handled well, the country of Fujian would definitely be divided and eaten.
He immediately summoned Gou Shanquan, the newly appointed governor-general, to learn about the current situation in various parts of Fujian.
Governor Gou Shanquan followed the golden-haired eunuch Little John towards the Wuying Palace of the Royal Palace.
The king of Fujian Zhang Wan advocated ancient rituals and handled state affairs. Literary affairs were in the Wenhua Hall and military affairs were in the Wuying Hall.
On the way to Wuying Palace, Gou Shanquan was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian.
Unlike Niu Xiuqing, he focuses on stability in everything.
Back then, in the Rock Fortress, Gou Shanquan did not panic even when faced with an attack by hundreds of thousands of European Allied Forces. The Rock Fortress was already in danger.
The heavy burden of whether or not Fujian would be subjugated was placed on him, but he got through it.
Due to internal worries, Fujian now feels like a sheep to the outside world, which has led to a series of problems.
Niu Xiuqing is too domineering and takes power too seriously.
If he does this, he will naturally have a fierce conflict with the King of Fujian Zhang Wan.
Niu Xiuqing thought he could control the Fujian army, but he forgot that the Fujian army was established by Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian.
Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, also established a military academy and a Young Eagle Hall to house orphans.
The loyalty of the new generation of generals to the King of Fujian is far greater than that of those generals who, for various reasons, chose to follow the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang to found the country.
The King of Fujian Zhang Wan didn't need to do anything, he just waited for the new man to grow up and take over the power naturally.
When Gou Shanquan came to Wuying Hall, he saw Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian, who was still a little angry.
After saluting, he reported the relevant situation.
"Your Majesty, our country's Danji Port has been occupied by Vietnam.
The garrison at Danji Port was not large in size, but the Yue Kingdom attacked with tens of thousands of troops from both sea and land.
Danji City and the port were all lost, with only the coastal defense fort still holding on.
However, given that the coastal defense fort is isolated and helpless, if they can hold on for at most two or three days, the coastal defense fort will fail.
The State of Yue is eyeing Danji Port, and our neighboring country in Africa, the State of Jin, is also restless.
They made a sneak attack on the 176 sandbank where the oil field had just been discovered."
Just as Gou Shanquan was waiting outside the palace, he received another telegram from Cairo.
The Jin State attacked the 176 Sandbank in the southern part of the Fujian State.
In Fujian, these desert oases, which have an extremely small population and have not yet formed fixed villages and towns, are generally named after numbers.
One hundred and seventy-six sandbanks wanted to drill a well for water, but unexpectedly oil was drilled.
Fujian is not secluded in information. Of course they know the value of oil.
Plans are under way to build an oil mining town around the 176 sandbank.
This sandbank, which they had just received and were still keeping secret, was occupied by the Jin Kingdom.
It was no surprise to Gou Shanquan, there must be someone with connections to foreign countries.
When King Zhang Wan of Fujian heard the news, his face became even more angry.
He stood up from the throne and walked angrily, waving his fists.
He gritted his teeth and said: "It's too much to bully others, these countries have gone too far to bully others.
We must fight back fiercely. If we do nothing this time, any country will think that our country is a soft persimmon and anyone can pinch it."
The king of Fujian, Zhang Wan, was shouting angrily.
The golden-haired eunuch Little John led the Prime Minister of Fujian Hu Qiwen to Wuying Hall.
There were also some civil and military officials from Fujian who stood outside the Wuying Hall, waiting for the summons from the King of Fujian Zhang Wan at any time.
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen heard the bold words of Fujian King Zhang Wan about a big war.
He said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I believe that our country of Fujian needs to continue to recuperate and recuperate.
The ongoing war in Fujian has caused a sharp decline in the country's youth population.
If we once again engage in war without permission, every household in the country will have a widow, and once that happens, the country's power will surely decline."
The King of Fujian Zhang Wan glared at the Prime Minister Hu Qiwen and said angrily: "It is because of timid civil servants like you who are holding us back that the image of the country of Fujian to the outside world is that of a little sheep that swallows its anger and can be bullied by anyone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The country of Fujian has lost its blood and is afraid of casualties. The final result will only be the country's destruction.
A country that is afraid of subjugation and suppresses the bloody spirit of its army will surely perish.
I have made up my mind to let other countries see the power of Fujian even if I have to wipe out a whole generation.
Prime Minister Hu, you have to remember that there was not even a single Han Chinese in the territory of Fujian back then.
My father led a group of people to expand the territory, and the country of Fujian had a population of more than three million.
The number of Han people in the empire is countless, and the young people in the country are really exhausted. At worst, I will carry out another large-scale immigration."
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen heard that the Fujian King Zhang Wan even spoke out about another large-scale immigration.
He knew that after King Zhang Wan of Fujian defeated Niu Xiuqing, he was now at a stage of full confidence.
He objected again, and the conflict between the cabinet and King Zhang Wan of Fujian was irreparable.
He is the representative of the civil servants, and he is not the only civil servant.
The consequence of not knowing current affairs is to retire and return home like Niu Xiuqing.
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen could only say helplessly: "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty wants to send troops, and I will give you my full support."
When Governor Gou Shanquan saw the current situation, he immediately stepped forward and assured: "Your Majesty, our Fujian Army has been fighting all the time. The army has been tempered by many battles. Unlike the Yue Army and the Jin Army, it has not experienced many wars.
I have the confidence to lead the Fujian army to victory.
There is no generational difference in weapons and equipment between countries. The victory of the army only depends on the ability of logistics and generals.
Our Fujian army has no shortage of capable generals. As long as we can ensure logistical supplies, I am confident that we will win the war."
Gou Shanquan understands firearms wars, and the amount of ammunition consumed in each war is too huge.
He knew that in firearms warfare, the importance of logistical supplies was more important than the general's ability.
Even if he is a relatively incompetent general, as long as he has a professional background and understands some basic common sense.
You don't know how to intersperse tactics. It doesn't take much skill to dig trenches and fight stupidly.
However, this tactic has extremely demanding logistical requirements.
Gou Shanquan pointed out the logistical problem, and he also indirectly reminded the Fujian king Zhang Wan.
They show their fangs and let other countries know that Fujian is not something to be trifled with. This is enough to achieve this goal.
The country of Fujian cannot go on an expedition because it does not have this kind of strength.
When Prime Minister Hu Qiwen heard what Governor Gou Shanquan said, he finally let go of his worries.
If Governor Gou Shanquan raised logistical issues, he would not increase the scale of the war indefinitely.
In this way, Fujian's fragile finances can still withstand the ravages of war.
King Zhang Wan of Fujian did not know anything about war.
Now he just wants to go back for revenge and prove to other countries that Fujian is by no means a soft persimmon. If he achieves this goal, he will be satisfied.
Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian, said with a solemn expression: "If you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches.
My goal is to create at least ten years of peace in Fujian through this war.
We want to let other countries know that they dare to encroach on our interests in Fujian.
We in the Fujian country will never surrender without mercy. Even if we are on the verge of death, we will make the enemy's face full of blood.
The specific arrangements for the war still depend on Gou Aiqing, and I will no longer participate."
On the way here, Gou Shanquan had already thought about how Fujian should fight back?
Fujian's current national strength has indeed declined a lot, and its means of counterattack are also relatively limited.
Gou Shanquan coughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely try my best to achieve this goal.
But our counterattack must also be prioritized.
The most important thing now is to express our country's attitude, and then we must also prioritize the recapture of the occupied areas."
Prime Minister Hu Qiwen said excitedly: "What Governor Gou said makes sense, we must give priority to regaining the most important places for Fujian.
The oil deposits at 176 Shazhou are the most important to our country of Fujian.
Oil not only means a steady stream of wealth, it is also an extremely important energy source.
With sufficient energy, we can produce a large number of industrial products and promote the development of domestic industry.
When industry develops, the country will be rich and its national strength will be further strengthened.
As for the Port of Tangy, as long as the Port of Gibraltar is in the hands of the Empire, it will be a worthless thing."
Governor Gou Shanquan was very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Hu Qiwen for interrupting him.
But the army's expedition still needs the strong support of the cabinet, because this trivial matter is unpleasant and completely unnecessary.
Governor Gou Shanquan continued to talk about the plan he had just finished.
"First of all, we need to recruit troops on a large scale to convey our country's clear attitude to the outside world. We will never give up and will fight to the end.
As for the 176 Sandbank, it is indeed within the borders of our country, but it is separated by a vast desert.
We want to start a large-scale war with the Jin State, and the logistics of the army simply cannot bear it.
But who said we have to fight near the 176 sandbank.
We can follow the Nile River and attack Jin's territory southwards.
The two sides of the Nile River in the Jin State were also extremely important grain producing areas in the Jin State.
We don't want the oil deposits in the desert anymore, but we can exchange them for fertile land. This is a very cost-effective deal.
Compared with oil, food is equally important."
Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian, said excitedly: "The bandits can go, and so can we.
Gou Aiqing is really insightful. Now that Jin has started a war, it is not up to them to decide when it will stop.
Since these countries dare to start a war, they still want to control the area where the war breaks out, which is wishful thinking."
Governor Gou Shanquan's strategy was approved by the Fujian King Zhang Wan.
With a smile on his face, he continued: "We have many means to deal with Jin.
The two countries share a border with each other and have the abundant Nile River, so logistics and transportation are not a problem.
But for Yue, we really don't have much to do.
Fujian did not focus on developing its navy before, and the size of the navies of the two countries was not much different.
The navy's expedition to Vietnam was naturally at a disadvantage in terms of logistical supplies and could not achieve much results.
But there is no need for us to engage in an upright naval battle with Vietnam.
We just need to let other countries know that if they dare to provoke our country of Fujian, they must pay a price."
The King of Fujian, Zhang Wan, waved his hand and said: "Gou Aiqing will tell you what you have to say, I am by no means the kind of person who has a lot of great achievements.
As long as the goal can be achieved, even if the means are not glorious, I will give my full support."
Governor Gou Shanquan was finally relieved.
He said confidently: "Your Majesty, our navy has the ability to deploy mines around Vietnam.
This time, Governor Yue will definitely be taught a lesson.
It’s just that mines may cause some accidental damage to merchant ships, and public opinion will not be very good for our country.”
Zhang Wan, the king of Fujian, said nonchalantly: "This matter is very simple. Then I will send a message to the whole world and declare war with Yue and Jin.
And delimit war zones in relevant regions and sea areas.
If any businessman follows the war zone and is affected by the war, they are completely asking for it. No one else is to blame."
The King of Fujian Zhang Wan didn't care at all about this situation.
As long as you make it clear in advance, you won't be troubled by the empire.
Some businessmen suffered losses, and at most they only lost money, which is not a big deal.
Governor Gou Shanquan heard this explanation from the Fujian King Zhang Wan, and he had full confidence in the success of this counterattack.
As long as the King of Fujian Zhang Wan achieves his goal and does not care about the means, this will allow the military to free up their hands and feet to do what they want.
The national strength of Fujian is not strong in the first place, and if we let him dance in shackles, it will not work at all.
Governor Gou Shanquan said excitedly: "Old minister, I would like to thank the king for your trust. I will definitely let other countries know the strength of Fujian.
The old minister has another suggestion. If the king adopts this suggestion, our country of Fujian will definitely win."
