Chapter 190: Packing Up
When the Neon Empire Navy drove its warships into Andaman Harbor, they found that the expansion was in full swing. Humans and zombies were working peacefully and amicably. After seeing this, some naval officers and soldiers discussed privately that Zhang Wei's demonic creatures could have been transported from this world.
Little did they know that these zombies were sent by Zhang Wei to assist Liu Rengui in expanding the Andaman Port.
In fact, Liu Rengui looked down on the Neon Empire's navy. In his opinion, the Neon people's navy was only three tricks, and after using them, the morale would collapse instantly. This kind of navy could only fight a favorable battle, and a fast-push favorable battle at that. If so many ships had not come at once, he would have no one to use. He really did not want to use the Neon Empire's navy.
Overall, under the pressure of Zhang Wei's vampires, the "transformation" of the Neon Empire Navy was relatively smooth. Although there were some minor twists and turns, they did not affect the overall situation.
After Liu Rengui incorporated these ships and navy, he wrote to Zhang Wei, informing him that things had been done and that the Northern Empire could make its debut next.
Zhang Wei contacted Takezawa Yuko, and through Takezawa Yuko he contacted the emperor of the empire.
Less than a month later, the Northern Empire sent troops to the Bishik Fortress of the Neon Empire, claiming that the Neon Empire had ignored its warnings. The Neon Empire had originally planned to send warships to plunder the coastline of the Northern Empire as planned, thus forcing the Northern Empire to withdraw its troops. However, Liu Rengui's army arrived at this time and not only annihilated the Western Fleet of the Neon Empire, but also cooperated with the Northern Empire to capture the Port of Busa.
Faced with the powerful Liu Rengui fleet, the Neon Empire finally realized that they had fallen into Liu Rengui's trap and had directly cut off their own arms.
Faced with the possibility that Liu Rengui's fleet might plunder along the coastline of the Neon Empire, and the Northern Empire's covetous desire to capture Bishik Fort, the Neon Empire had no choice but to send people to seek peace and sign a humiliating treaty.
At this time, Zhang Wei decided to quit while he was ahead. He did not want the Northern Empire to annex the Japanese Empire. His main purpose was to crack down on the Japanese Empire's attempts to snatch the Northern Empire's market from him. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally agreed to peace talks.
As for the Northern Empire, since the troops directly under the Emperor of the Empire occupied Busa Port, the Eastern Legion, as a local force, got nothing. Both the central and local governments were afraid that the other side would take advantage of the opportunity to expand, so they agreed to peace talks.
In the end, the Neon Empire ceded the Port of Busa to the Northern Empire, gave up its support for the Kingdom Restoration Army, and handed over all its privateering warships to Zhang Wei. It was not allowed to build any large warships, and the number of small warships used to resist pirates was also strictly limited.
A tiger flying over the sea had its wings clipped.
Without the protection of the Neon Empire, the Kingdom Restoration Army surrendered at a rapid speed. After much deliberation, Zhang Wei adopted Liu Rengui's suggestion of an attack. He only took over the ports of Bolante and Imana.
He divided the city of Chad to the Blood Moon Cult, the city of Demar to the Duke of Dragon Wing, and the Castle of Buzau to the Duke of White Tiger.
Among them, the city of Chad can serve as the gateway to the Port of Bolant. After being given to the Blood Moon Cult, the influence of the Blood Moon Cult can extend from the royal capital to the east.
Duke Longyi obtained the city of Demar and expanded his territory to the east, but to the north was the Blood Moon Cult's city of Chad, and to the south was Duke White Tiger's enclave of Buzeu Castle. Holding such a piece of land with no support on both sides would make one unable to sleep at night.
As for the Duke of White Tiger, when he learned that Zhang Wei was "generously" giving him Buzau Castle, he smiled on his face but cursed in his heart. Buzau Castle was the gathering place of the remaining forces of the old royal family. Although the Duke of White Tiger no longer emphasized that the eldest princess was the queen, his previous actions in the hero's enthronement ceremony and later snatching the eldest princess away, and then supporting the eldest princess as queen, all these actions made the remaining forces of the old royal family very unhappy with him.
It would be a miracle if Buzau Castle would let him rule obediently! Not to mention that Buzau Castle had no access to the sea, and the territory of Duke Longyi was in between. If he wanted to rule, he had to go in and out of the Yimana Port controlled by Zhang Wei, which was like working for nothing.
So, at the suggestion of someone, Duke Baihu, based on the idea that you, Zhang Wei, are unkind and I am unjust, privately discussed with Duke Longyi that he would give Buzeu Castle to Duke Longyi, and Duke Longyi should not interfere with his attack on Asong City.
Who would have thought that Duke Longyi refused directly? Just kidding, everyone knows the reason why the old royal family is unhappy with Duke Baihu. Duke Longyi holds a princess in his hand, which also makes the old royal family unhappy. Whoever takes control of that broken place will have a headache. Unless someone dares to go against the world and massacre the city and kill all the royal family members and their supporters, otherwise it will be a hot potato in anyone's hands.
Duke Longyi was also very decisive. He said that he could give both Demar City and Pada Port to Duke Baihu as long as Duke Baihu left Asong City to him.
Duke White Tiger was not stupid either. He knew that once Duke Dragon Wing took over the city of Asong, the next step would be to attack his Grax Fortress. Then he would be able to blockade the ports of Zovia and Pada in one fell swoop. As for the other two enclaves, well, they could be lost at any time.
The messengers from both sides are on the road every day, it's very lively, and the more they talk, the angrier they get. The reason they haven't fought yet is that they are afraid that Zhang Wei will take advantage of them.
At this moment, the two dukes suddenly learned that Zhang Wei was sharpening his sword and preparing to go to war with the Desert Scimitar. As for the reason, it was unknown. Zhang Wei's side seemed to be covering up this matter, but the atmosphere for war was openly full.
At this time, Zhang Wei was standing beside Zhang He's bed, looking at the seriously injured and unconscious Zhang He. He was suppressing his tremendous anger. If Zhang He died, he would let all the sand people of Crescent Castle be buried with him.
According to several guards with varying degrees of injuries, the Sand People held their annual celebration in Crescent Castle. The whole city was in a carnival atmosphere. In order not to cheer the Sand People up, the Empire even made a public statement that it would not attack the Sand People on such an important festival.
As a result, Zhang He and his troops were also infected by the festive atmosphere and celebrated the festival with the Sand People. As a result, when they were unarmed and singing and dancing, the Sand People took action.
When Zhang He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, several guards who had privately agreed not to drink in case of emergency performed a great deed and successfully rescued Zhang He. However, the other officers and soldiers all died tragically under the scimitars of the Sand People, and probably did not know until their death that they died at the hands of their allies.
Although the Sand People Alliance later sent a message saying that the Crescent Fort incident was caused by the xenophobic radicals among the Sand People and that they were willing to work with Zhang Wei to deal with the matter, Zhang Wei and Yuan Shao did not agree...
