Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth parties wait and see
The external environment of Daheng is harsh, and all countries are full of malice towards the Daheng people, which in turn forces the Daheng people to further enhance their military strength, and even intensifies the Daheng people's hostility to foreign countries, especially the six northern countries and
The malevolence of the Southern Dynasty Kingdom, the Khasi Kingdom, and the Orissa Empire.
Lin Ziran was aware of these situations, so he had made the necessary preparations.
But the reason why it is called preparation is that it represents the future.
Now, for all Daheng people, and for Lin Ziran, the unification war is still a top priority.
Lin Ziran, who was sitting at the rear, learned that the frontline troops had captured the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau and that the naval forces had blocked the joint fleet of the two states at Quping Naval Base, so he sent a letter of condolence to the frontline army and navy forces.
The letter highly affirmed and praised the fighting spirit of the frontline troops for the country and the people, congratulated them on their achievements, and encouraged them to continue to display their fighting spirit of not being afraid of hardship and sacrifice, and to conquer the Jingcheng District and even the entire Jingzhou area as soon as possible.
, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent unification war and laying the foundation for the reunification of Daheng.
At the same time, a series of meritorious soldiers in the early battles will be promoted and rewarded.
After receiving the letter of condolences from Lin Ziran, Liang Chenglei and other generals of the Northern Expedition were naturally all smiles!
Lin Ziran affirmed their achievements in this series of battles and encouraged them to continue to fight hard, which is naturally a good thing.
Many people are already thinking about how to write their invitation papers, and at the same time imagining what titles they can obtain by then.
Because after the capital is captured, the establishment of the Seventh Dynasty will be on the agenda.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, according to the tradition of the Daheng people, large-scale conferral of nobility is a matter of course. By then, a group of new nobles will appear in the Daheng Empire.
Even now in Daheng, the nobles no longer have fiefdoms, or even have obvious political power, and only have a modest annuity, but this is still a noble title and a reflection of status.
Many old nobles were also thinking about how to seek refuge with Lin Ziran in order to continue to maintain their titles in the new dynasty.
The aristocratic system of the Daheng people is different from that of other countries. It is nominally hereditary and is not affected by dynasty changes.
But in fact, the old nobles still need to be recognized by the new dynasty.
So today, although we can see many noble families in Dahengli with thousands of years of history, they are still standing despite many dynasties.
However, the reason why these nobles who have been around for thousands of years can be passed down is because every time a new dynasty is established, they stand on the right side, and their titles will continue to be recognized after the new dynasty is established.
As for those nobles who were in the wrong team, they have long since disappeared in the long river of history.
Therefore, the Daheng people's hereditary noble system is a bit special. It seems to be hereditary, but it also needs to be recognized by the new dynasty.
Behind this special tradition is that every time the old dynasty fell and the new dynasty was established, countless nobles were wiped out.
Nowadays, the old nobles in Daheng naturally do not want their ancestral titles to be abolished, even though the current noble titles have no practical use, leaving only annuities and symbolic reputations. However, for many down-and-out nobles
As far as a family is concerned, it is also very important to be able to obtain a noble annuity!
It is foreseeable that with the establishment of the Seventh Dynasty of Daheng, a large number or even most of the old nobles will be demoted, and only a small number of old nobles will retain their titles, such as Duke Meng, whose family title
I guess there is no need to worry about being demoted. Lin Ziran married Meng Yuling, the legitimate daughter of Duke Meng's family.
But most of the old nobles probably won't be able to keep their titles!
Moreover, they were unable to resist Lin Ziran's unification wave, so many people wanted to join Lin Ziran as soon as possible in order to keep their titles.
Not only the old aristocrats, but actually many businessmen and other powerful people have begun to side with Lin Ziran.
Even many vassal towns in the northern states were already considering surrendering to Lin Ziran.
If he surrenders to Lin Ziran, he will definitely not be able to serve as a vassal, and there is no hope of continuing to lead the army, but at least he will be able to maintain his subsequent glory and wealth, and it is possible to continue to serve as an official in politics.
This situation is similar to when Lin Ziran swept through the six southern states. Many feudal towns chose to surrender in the end in order to preserve their final glory and wealth, instead of resisting until death and eventually dying and annihilating their clans.
But now they are just wavering. They are still waiting and watching. Why are they waiting and watching?
Battle of Jingzhou!
To be more precise, it was the Battle of the Capital!
They need to know that the Daheng unified army can completely defeat the three-state coalition and then capture the capital.
This is not only because the political significance of the city of Capital is so huge, but also because this may be the last battle between the three-state coalition forces and the Daheng unified army.
Since the failure of the Southern Front Campaign, the three-state coalition forces have simply given up resistance in the central and southern areas and gathered all their forces in the Jingshi area. Not only the troops in Jingzhou itself, but also the armies of Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwu Prefecture have continued to move south.
Reinforce the capital area.
As of July 2, the three-state coalition had gathered more than 100,000 troops in the capital area!
This number is already very difficult for the three-state coalition. You must know that in a southern battle, they lost 250,000 troops. In the subsequent small and medium-sized battles in southern Jingzhou, they successively lost at least 250,000 troops.
Twenty to thirty thousand people.
Another nearly 20,000 troops were lost in the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau battle.
The losses before and after this have reached 300,000 yuan, and even more weapons and equipment were lost.
Under such heavy losses, it was already quite difficult to raise 100,000 breech-loading rifles and more than 100 breech-loading artillery pieces to defend the capital.
And this was the last army that the three-state coalition could mobilize. The Battle of Beijing was their last resistance.
Under such circumstances, the capital has attracted worldwide attention. Not only are many people in the six southern states under the control of the Daheng United Army paying attention, many people in the seven northern states are also paying attention, and even the vassal towns themselves are also paying attention. Even other countries are paying attention.
He is also paying attention to the upcoming battle in the capital.
Some countries that have diplomatic personnel stationed in Daheng even visited the capital city in person, preparing to observe closely this battle that is destined to have far-reaching consequences.
Not only the official attention, but also the general public attention, many large newspapers have sent reporters to the capital. It won't take long for the news and even some details of the battle of the capital to spread throughout Blue Star!
