Wei Yuntian's side captured Fengshan City without any blood, but Lemon was still fighting hard against the Anyue defenders. Both sides suffered serious losses in the half-month battle.
Even Lemon's camp was attacked by the Red Army's desperate charges several times. If Aguta's Yuji cavalry had not covered his flanks well, his 10,000 men might have been defeated directly!
It was Wei Yuntian who sent a force to attack the rear of Anyue City. Under attack from both sides, Anyue City was finally captured, and almost all the defenders in Anyue City were killed!
Xiao Chen was also shocked by the brutality of the battle. Although Yanyun County won the bet, he still issued a reward of one million taels of silver to Li Meng's troops to reward their bravery and compensate the fallen soldiers. …
After Fengshan and Anyue City were captured, Xijing no longer had any dangerous points to defend.
Wei Yuntian sent five thousand elites, put on the uniforms of the Namba army, disguised as Fengshan defeated troops, and went to Xijing City. They cried and cursed in authentic Namba dialect and called the door. The defenders believed it and opened the city gate to let them go. After entering, Xijing, the capital city of Gaoju, also fell.
But something heinous happened during this period. The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the palace and resisting desperately, in desperation, actually killed the prince Li Renzong and several of their princes!
When the bad news came out, the whole of Gaojuli was shocked. Many Gaojuli puppet troops who had surrendered to the Japanese also turned back in anger, turning around and killing the Japanese people under the pretext of avenging Li Renzong!
This turn of events shocked Emperor Shenzhao, who had never issued any orders to harm Li Renzong. In anger, he summoned the top military officials and cursed him.
But the senior military officials are also confused. We have never given such an order to the Xijing defenders. Those guys must be jealous and want to use Li Renzong as a hostage to threaten Xiao Chen and the others. So, Only in response to the pain did he kill...
Some people suspect that Li Renzong was not killed by our people at all, but by people from Russia, Wanyan Pingqiu, or even Xiao Chen!
This puzzle will never be solved, because all the Japanese troops in Xijing were annihilated, and the composition of the troops that attacked the palace was very complex. There were Yanyun Army, Ross Army, Wanyan Pingqiu's Northern Army, and others. Gao Juli's rebel army and the Yuji tribe's cavalry.
Under the chaos, who the hell knows who did it?
But one thing is certain, in the future Gao Juli will either fall into the hands of the Russians or Xiao Chen...
In less than two months, Japan was completely defeated. The first to be defeated was the army. Almost all the 200,000 troops in Kojuli were wiped out. Only tens of thousands of people escaped by chance, and none of them was organized.
The navy was defeated next. Under the attack of the powerful Ross Fleet and Yanyun Navy, most of the invincible fleet that had been built over decades was lost. The failure was quite disastrous, and its vitality was severely damaged from then on.
Of course, the Ross Fleet and Yanyun Navy also suffered heavy losses, but they achieved a great victory in the entire battle!
After this battle, the situation in the North Sea has undergone earth-shaking changes. The era of Japan's domineering navy has passed. They can only be forced to withdraw all warships to their home waters and change from an expansionary posture to a defensive posture.
Just after the war ended, Marshal Alexek rushed to Xijing in person to discuss the withdrawal of troops with Xiao Chen. They said they were discussing the withdrawal of troops, but in fact they were negotiations.
As expected by Xiao Chen and the others, Alexek put forward several requests that he thought were 'very reasonable' in very tactful terms...
They had suffered huge casualties in this war, and they felt that it would be a huge loss if they did not get a share of the pie. First of all, on the grounds that Ross's troops were very tired, they asked for a period of rest at the station. The minimum was half a year, and the best was
It's one year.
In addition, the losses of their fleet were also very serious. Hundreds of warships needed to be docked at major ports in Kojuli for repairs. It is estimated that it would take a year to be completely repaired.
In addition, if our fleet evacuates now, I am afraid that the Japanese navy will reorganize its forces for counterattack. Governor Xiao Chen, you also have to consider this situation.
Of course, we have already negotiated before and do not have any territorial claims on Kojuli. However, due to various considerations, it seems that the major ports on the east and south side of Kojuli should be taken over by our Ross fleet, and some permanent reserves should also be stationed.
The army is prepared to prepare for any eventuality.
However, we are too far away from the mainland, and it is extremely difficult to transport materials, and we cannot allow your Yanyun County to provide logistical supplies, so we hope to occupy or lease part of the fields in the south of Gojuryeo so that we can be self-sufficient.
Xiao Chen refused without hesitation!
And express deep regret and anger for these unreasonable demands made by Alexek!
Because this is a big departure from our previous agreement, and it is tantamount to blatantly tearing up the contract signed by Queen Angelina and I. If I hadn't regarded the respected Marshal as a friend, I would even think that you want to declare war on us!
All the Russian soldiers in Kojuli must be evacuated within a month. If you do not have enough ships to transport them, we can help.
At that time, they could be transported under such difficult conditions, but now it is very easy to send them away. The wounded soldiers can stay, and we will be responsible for the treatment, and then send them back one after another after they recover.
I can't give you an inch of the land in Gaoli, because it all belongs to the Gaoli people, and you and I have no right to deal with it. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and the Japanese?
Although Li Renzong is dead, in the future I will comply with the wishes of the people of Gojuli and establish a new king for them, and then all our Yanyun troops will withdraw...
Don't think you are at a disadvantage. Now the entire North Sea is your territorial waters, and the Japanese can no longer pose any threat to your east. Isn't this the result you have always dreamed of?
"Marshal Alexek, please believe me, you Russians really shouldn't station troops in Koguryo, especially in the south, because you have killed too many local Koguryo people. They are actually puppet troops who were forced to participate in the war, but you
But they were tortured and slaughtered as if they were Japanese..." Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head.
It means that I still have to wipe your butt for the mess you left behind.
In addition, there are rumors that Li Renzong was killed by your Russian soldiers, so now you Russians have caused great public anger in Kojuli. They hate you even more than the Japanese!
If you stay, you will be in a lot of trouble and hidden dangers.
It is greatly detrimental to Gao Juli's stability.
Of course, I can open all the ports along the coast of Kojuli, because we treat you as good friends and are completely undefended against you!
Xiao Chen finally made some concessions.
But this is not actually a concession, because the opening of the port is only for Ross merchant ships. As for your warships, they certainly cannot dock at will without our permission.
