Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first

With the collapse of the Sykes tribe, the influx of a large number of poor peasants from the Heathrow Empire followed. A large number of poor peasants from the south have continuously entered the northern region, and they can obtain a piece of land that belongs to them for free, and some large manor owners and landlords have also begun to choose around in this area, buying land in large numbers, and building large manors. Sugar beet, flax, and cotton became the main crops chosen by the manor owners in this area. Apart from grain, the planting of these three crops almost monopolized the northern area.

The enthusiasm of the manor owners for this land became even higher as Philip V personally attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Fort Nicholas, which marked the real beginning of the Heathrow Empire to rule and manage this vast land in the north of the empire. , this eruptive development enthusiasm continued until the summer of the second year, and the Heathrow Empire also successfully obtained a large amount of land purchase funds from noble landlords and manor owners. Although the land price is relatively low, such a wide A strip of land more than four hundred miles deep and more than one hundred miles deep, although it has not been fully developed, it still brought huge profits to Pokaninski, especially the funds were willingly paid by noble landowners and manor owners paid. The abundant income not only provided sufficient funds for the construction of Fort Nicholas, but also brought a lot of surplus to the treasury of the Heathrow Empire.

The Imperial Royal Habayashi Army Commander Clausewitz, who achieved great success in the Northern Expedition and rebuilt his prestige, even directly handed over 50,000 captured women and children of the Sussex tribe to the slave traders. Allowing the slave traders to resell these captives anywhere outside the empire, this transaction not only made the slave traders happy, but also provided the empire with a large amount of income again, which made Philip V and Pokkanin Sky couldn't help but smile, and Pokaninsky even suggested that he could use this windfall as start-up capital to build a small and medium-sized city in the western border area of ​​the empire, which is mainly a military fortress and also takes care of business and trade. In order to strengthen the defense and development of the western part of the empire, it also provides a suitable center for the business exchanges between the empire and the tribes in the Tengger grassland. This proposal was unanimously supported by the Senate of the Imperial Aristocrats.

The threat from the nomads on the grasslands has always been the nightmare of the imperial nobles. This threat and destructive power even scares the imperial nobles more than the Boyins in the north The border remains on alert. Even now that the tribes of the East Tengger Grassland are gradually subordinated to Li Wufeng, it still hasn't diminished the nobles' worries. The intermittent intrusions of the nomads have always put the nobles' land, manors and properties under threat. , Now it is possible to effectively contain this threat, which is of course a good thing that we can't wait for. This has been requested many times by nobles before. However, due to the strategic direction pointing to the south and financial difficulties, it failed to achieve what it wanted, and now it can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The slaves in the slave market of the Heathrow Empire were also expensive in Luoyang for a while. Developing land and building manors requires a large number of slaves and freedmen, and freedmen have already obtained their own land. Manor owners want to complete their manors as soon as possible so that they can generate income in the second year. Di’s slave traders gathered in the Heathrow Empire, and a large number of debt slaves and prisoners of war from India and the Western Continent were continuously sent to the Heathrow Empire. The price of slaves in the Heathrow Empire was higher than the average price of slaves in surrounding countries It is more than 20% higher, which attracts slave traders from all over the world like a magnet to continue to throw slaves into the Heathrow slave market.

While almost everyone's eyes on the Eastern Continent were focused on the war within the Tanghe Empire and the war from the peninsula, the Heathrow Empire quietly carried out a series of military, political and diplomatic actions. On September 15, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Heathrow Empire announced that Prime Minister Pokaninski would visit the Kaman Empire, the Kingdom of Poole, and the Kingdom of Dorton within one month, and would meet with Japanese envoys in the Kingdom of Poole.

From the point of view of the time, it should be said that the various actions of the Sithrow Empire did not attract enough attention from people, especially the people of Tanghe. When Xinjiang devotes its main energy to the domestic war situation and the peninsula war situation and has no time to contain them, they can take this opportunity to suppress the Boyins who have always troubled them in the north. As for the construction of Fort Nicholas, the construction of the western fortress, or the development of the barren land in the north also good. Whether it is the introduction of a large number of slave production, it is nothing more than a normal policy and measure. As for the visit of the Prime Minister of the Heathrow Empire to the countries of Liberia, it is even a good thing, and it can persuade the Kingdom of Poole and the Kingdom of Dorton to withdraw from this war. The war can also alleviate many difficulties for the unification of the Western Xinjiang Empire. For an empire like Heathrow, these moves are just an adjustment in policy orientation in their eyes. But they all underestimated the growth and changes in national power brought about by an empire with a fairly solid foundation like the Heathrow Empire after the policy shift. The foreign policy of the Heathrow Empire also gradually showed the gradual strengthening of the unity of the Liberian countries. It was not until the establishment of the new Tanghe National Dynasty that they realized how much trouble their negligence at that time had brought them.

The peninsula war situation has always been the focus of everyone's attention, especially when the situation in the north is becoming increasingly tense, Li Wufeng still unswervingly put the second army into the peninsula battlefield, which surprised and puzzled everyone. In their eyes, the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army have been able to stabilize the situation on the peninsula. Even if the Maqihans make a breakthrough in a part, it will not be a big deal. The 100,000 fresh troops of the Second Army suddenly threw themselves into the peninsula. What can they win for Xijiang? Is the peninsula really that valuable?

It should be said that the war on the peninsula has been intensified since August, especially in the two important places of Lygon and Kutterdam. The struggle for Laigong seems to have become a key point that determines the psychological factors of both parties, not just the strategic and tactical significance. If the Maqihans can capture Laigong, it means that the peninsula under the control of Xijiang The area has finally been opened up, and a breakthrough from here can directly insert into the hinterland of the peninsula. The original Medan area and the city-states along the entire Southern Ocean will face substantial threats to their survival. The Khan people had no choice but to continue to entangle with the Xijiang people here. The loss of Sanbao did not have much impact on the hearts of the people in the entire peninsula, especially since Sanbao once belonged to the Nanyang Alliance for a short period of time. This kind of subtle psychology The fixed situation has an immeasurable impact on the entire peninsula control area in western Xinjiang.

Compared to this battle staged in Kutterdan, it should have been no less than the battle of Lygon, but in fact, due to the high expectations of Lygon, more attention was paid On Lygon, the offense and defense of Kurt Dan are relatively dull, but this does not mean that the battle here is peaceful. The average weekly death toll has risen by 6,000, which proves that although the battle here is not as dazzling as that of Lygon , but the **** number of deaths still reminds us not to forget that this is also one of the main battlefields.

The battle for Lygon did not make the Maqihans back down because of the great power of the dragon cannon. Also joined the attack on Lygon. Although the Nanyang Alliance Parliament failed to pass the issue of sending troops, their policy preference made them almost do everything they could to provide material and logistical assistance to the Machi Khans. , the wildness of the Machihans that has not completely disappeared has been fully demonstrated in this battle, and the sufficient supply of materials and equipment has also allowed the Machihans to gradually gain an advantage in the attack on Lygon~IndoMTL.com~ Especially after three consecutive times of using heavy-duty trailers to ram the front wall of Laigong City, the situation was once quite unfavorable to the Fourth Army of Western Xinjiang. Mu Liyu and Wen Na almost took turns to supervise the battle in person. One person stood on the wall, and the governor of the South China Sea, Zhong Wenjing, also personally sat in Lygon, and mobilized a large number of civilians in the city to demolish the houses in the city to help the Fourth Army withstand this round of the most dangerous attack.

The second week of August can be called a "bloody week" for the Fourth Army of Western Xinjiang and Mulig and Wenna. At the cost of breaking the city wall three times, a large section of the city wall was first loosened by the giant catapults of the Machihans, and then rushed to the ground by swarms of ramming vehicles. They entered the city, but the reserve team led by Mulige and Wenna squeezed the Machihan people out of the breakthrough gap, and even two handsome flags were inserted on the city wall of Lygon almost at the same time. The coaches of the two sides can even see each other, but there are countless rolling heads and blood waves in between. Pu Tiancheng and Mulige can only stare at each other with the same blood-red eyes. The Legion had no choice but to truthfully report in the urgent letter sent to Hanzhong that the Third Division of the Fourth Army had temporarily canceled its designation and that the Fourth Division had lost its combat effectiveness. The word cannot support the word. Jiangshan Beauty Chronicle, Part 2, Swallowing Thousands of Miles, Chapter 6, Conquering Hegemony, Section 91, Bathing in Fire and Blood (1)
