After the meeting, everyone lined up outside the audience hall and asked the painters to paint their images.
Everyone was smiling and the picture was frozen. This is a gathering of heroes. They defeated the Ottoman Empire!
The master painter masterfully painted and drew everyone's looks and appearances. This painting was left in the Military Museum of the Southern China Empire forever.
That night, Yan Changwu invited everyone to dinner.
Pure Turkish style food, plus Chinese shochu!
Alcohol prohibition was opened, everyone gathered together, toasted to each other, and had free drinks!
The opportunity is really rare. After today is over, we must rush to their respective combat positions, and we will leave tomorrow, and we will see each other in the future. I don’t know how to meet each other in the year of the monkey!
Everyone was fighting wine, punching, bragging, and happy... The Emperor was not there, Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, Mr. David and Zhang Jiayu all left after a few drinks. The military leaders were equal and could let go.
When this banquet was over, everyone's friendship deepened and it will run through their military careers.
...
Five people including Yan Changwu, Chen Zhongji, Hong Sheng, David and Zhang Jiayu gathered in the fourth courtyard of the palace to drink night tea. They were condescending and could see the night scene of the Bosphorus Strait, the sparkling waves, the dock area and the army. The camp area was brightly lit, and ships with searchlights passed by from time to time on the sea.
There are still lights in the city, and the city is dark outside, but on the west side of the city, where the lights are shining, construction is underway to repair the city wall.
On the opposite side of the strait is Asia, and the field is dark, but there is light on the dock, which is a military dock.
Due to the popularization of lamp oil and lighting technology, a large number of Chinese turned on lights to illuminate the night sky.
No country is envious of this, because they don't have so much lamp oil!
Lamp oil is a mixture of palm oil, whale oil and petroleum, and palm oil accounts for more than 80% of the ingredients.
The Chinese plant palm trees in large quantities and squeeze them for lamp oil. The wealth of the Chinese can be imagined. After all, other countries use palm trees or whale oil for food, not for lighting!
Yan Changwu personally poured tea for the four ministers. They are all important ministers of the country and deserve respect.
The four ministers thanked the emperor for the tea, and Zhang Jiayu took out what he planned to do and asked Yan Changwu to judge.
The first is to change Istanbul into the "Xiping" of the Southern China Empire, and set up a guard, which is comparable to Peking.
The name change has always been controversial. Some people say that it is better to use "Xiping", but Mr. David, the Chief of Staff, proposed to change it back to "Constantinople". He confessed that "Istanbul changed its original name to Constantinople," It's the biggest humiliation to Baotou guys!"
Istanbul was formerly known as Constantinople, and it was originally under the Byzantine rule. Baotou guys changed their name after taking Constantinople, and now it returns to the old name. Mr. David thinks this is the best.
He insisted on using Constantinople in this way, but due to his status, it was not settled until the South China Empire was founded and did not change its name.
When Chen Zhongji arrived, he made a final decision and said that it would be good to use the Chinese "Xiping". We will get rid of the white skin in the future, which is auspicious, not bad!
Chen Zhongji's face was the greatest among his courtiers, and Yan Changwu immediately adopted it and renamed Istanbul "Xiping".
Zhang Jiayu asked the emperor to confirm, and Yan Changwu said "Yes!"
The matter was settled in this way, and Xiping left behind.
There is only one candidate Zhang Jiayu!
It is conceivable that Xiping will play a crucial role in the years to come. It will act as a fortress in the western part of the empire. As long as Xiping does not fall, Baotou will not be able to invade eastward!
And when the South China Empire continued its westward march, Xiping was the logistical supply center, where the incoming troops could rest here, transfer materials here, and assume the role of a bridgehead for launching the offensive.
Xiping’s task of staying behind is arduous. He has to defend and attack. To the east, there is the Crimean Khanate, which has a deep relationship with Baotou, and their cavalry force is very strong.
Farther east, there is a lot of hatred against the Chinese, Lao Maozi.
Whether it is a Crimean or an old Maozi, it should not be underestimated.
Needless to say Xiangxi, it is white skin, and sooner or later there will be a battle.
The trouble to the east is also great. Baotou's Longxing Land Anatolia has not yet been captured, and there are the forces of Persia and the Mesopotamia.
To the south is the sea, but there is also the danger of being cut off by Baipi.
Although a large number of warriors have emerged in the South China Empire, there is still a lack of handsome talents. Xiping staying behind must be able to fight, be able to control, and be able to dominate the overall situation.
It is conceivable that the sea is far, and Xiping will have the right to make decisions when staying behind. He has the power to cut first and then play, which must be handed over to a reliable candidate.
Therefore, there is no choice but Zhang Jiayu.
Mr. David is the most capable, but he is a white-skinned man!
Even if he is the emperor's favorite, Chen Zhongji said that he is not available here, he is not available.
Yan Changwu looked at Zhang Jiayu and said, "This task is left to the Qing family!"
Zhang Jiayu handed his hands over and said, "The minister must hold on to Xiping, do something and not do something!"
"Tell me about your strategy?" Yan Changwu asked him, and Zhang Jiayu replied, "Take Anatolia, make peace with Persia and Mesopotamia, and make peace with the Crimeans. Well, we don't recognize the previous one. The agreement between Baotou and the Europeans, we have jurisdiction over the Balkans!"
"As for the city of Xiping, we need to attract more Chinese immigrants and control the introduction of Greeks from Baotou ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to achieve a balance!" Zhang Jiayu said.
"Good!" Chen Zhongji praised him.
There are still many Baotou guys in Xiping City. It is not convenient for the massacre at the moment, so the density of Baotou guys in the city must be lowered. It is a good thing to introduce Greeks.
Chen Zhongji said to Yan Changwu, "Listening to what Zhang Yuanzi (Zhang Jiayu's number) said, the old ministers are also relieved!"
"Very good, very good!" Yan Changwu nodded with satisfaction."
"I will leave two armies for you, one in Anatolia and one in Xiping. Is it enough for the Qing family?" Yan Changwu asked.
"Enough, thank you!" Zhang Jiayu said loudly.
In fact, it was not enough. For him, Han Xin ordered soldiers. The more the better, but the economic account must be calculated. Xiping is too far away from the main territory of the South China Empire. The cost of transporting materials here is extremely high. The army will be deployed too much, which is a financial burden on the empire. Very big.
Although there are two armies, he is not worried, because the army is an integrated army. Each army has 50,000 Chinese soldiers, 10,000 Chinese auxiliary soldiers and 20,000 Emperor’s Allied Forces, totaling 80,000 people, and the two armies are sixteen. Ten thousand people, as long as there are one hundred thousand people, it is enough to start a big war.
There is also the Fifth Army guarding Egypt and Syria, and can come to help them when needed.
"Li Laiheng is fighting in Anatolia, who is the army guarding Xiping?" Yan Changwu respected his opinion.
"Zeng Ying's Seventh Army!" Zhang Jiayu said.
Zhang Jiayu and Zeng Ying are relatively harmonious, because Zhang Jiayu is a former Ming Jinshi background, Zeng Ying is a former Ming military officer background, the two complement each other.
"Okay, just stay with Zeng Ying!" Yan Changwu decided in one word.
He said to Zeng Ying, "I will leave early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Jiayu was surprised "So fast?"
"White Skin is attacking our Cyprus and Egypt!" Yan Changwu's eyes were full of chills, and he said coldly, "They owe a beating!"
