Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 6: Creating the first
Looking at the eastern horizon, after a long silence, Philip V said in a low voice: "Your mission is indeed necessary, I wanted Clausewitz to visit with you, But on the one hand, he has just returned from a trip to the Western Continent, and he needs to be familiar with many affairs in the army as soon as possible; The politicians of several countries are better coordinated, so I'll leave it to you. The Poole and Dorton people are too deep now, I'm afraid it's impossible to get out all at once, and they seem to have the upper hand now, I'm afraid they won't be able to. I am willing to withdraw. You may wish to have more contact with their politicians in these two countries and talk about our opinions and opinions. I think it is necessary to remind them first, let them have a mental preparation for failure, and don’t let They were caught off guard when Li Wufeng swept the North and ruled the Tang River. They were so cunning that they had to prepare for how to get out of the unfavorable situation. I also thought that among the courtiers in their country, there should also be sober people who could see this possibility. .”
"As for the Kaman people, I will write two personal letters, and you will give them to Knox and Vasili when you go to discuss with them. I was hunting friends with both of them when I was young. I haven't seen you for many years. I believe the friendship is still there. Besides, this is a major matter involving the survival of the country. As long as you state the truth, I believe they will not be ignorant. The Kaman people are the most important part of our Liberian countries. If it is reasonable Gomez should be the most suitable, but Gomez's aggressive policy made him unpopular among the northern nobles of Kaman, so he will automatically step down this time. Right now, the northern and southern nobles of Kaman are at loggerheads. If you can say It will be of great benefit to us to jointly deal with the threat of Li Wufeng in the future.”
Philip V's words made Pokaninski admire him. His old friend seems to be very clear-headed, and he is also aware of the huge threat that the expansion of Li Wufeng's power may bring to the empire and even the entire Liberia. If all the Liberian countries are united, it would be no problem to counter the Tanghe people. But before that, they first need to unify their thinking. Now all parties adopt different strategies for their own interests, and even only care about immediate interests, without seeing long-term threats. Or put out salaries to fight the fire, this can only help Li Wufeng, just as he said that the Liberians should do now to strengthen their foundation and develop their own strength. A very simple reason, the food issue alone is enough to make the countries into chaos, how can such a situation be able to fight against the people of Tanghe?
"Your Majesty is right. General Clausewitz has just taken over as the commander of the Royal Habayashi Army. Many things are not well understood. In addition, he has been away from the empire for too long. It will also take a war to re-establish him. Only in this way can the imperial military be truly unified into one idea, and the Sykes tribe is just such a golden stone, which is usually used to train the army. Second, if the power of the Baiyin barbarians in the north can be compressed northward, It can also add a lot of arable land to the empire. At present, the price of food is high, and the enthusiasm of the farmers to cultivate the land is very high. The large areas of land in the north are barren because of the harassment and threat of those **** Baiyin people, so that the farmers dare not go north. Open up wasteland. If we can compress the power of the Boyin people even a hundred miles to the north, the vacant land will be quite considerable, which is completely sufficient to meet the needs of our landless and land-poor peasants in the south, and can relieve the landowners and landowners in the south. The contradiction between the poor and hired peasants can also increase the land and food of the empire, which is a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.” Pokaninsky became very interested when he talked about government affairs, and his eyebrows became brighter as he talked.
"But even if the Boyin barbarians are defeated, these barbarians will hide in the Atlas Mountains. It is not realistic for us to completely eliminate them. If we want to consolidate the land occupied by the north, we must ensure that the farmers who go to reclaim We are not threatened, I am afraid we must build a city." Philip V frowned slightly, this is not an easy task.
"That's right, I'm also about to mention this issue. If General Clausewitz can defeat the Sykes tribe, I think the empire can build cities and fortresses on the northern edge of the newly occupied area. My idea is the most Well, a city can be built, and castle-like fortresses can be built not far from both sides of the city, and the surrounding fortresses can also be turned into small towns, which can form horns with the city, and can also play the role of a castle market town, consolidating our city. The rule of that land." Pokaninsky could talk endlessly about these civil affairs.
"But the cost of building these things is not a small amount. Can the national treasury support it?" Of course Philip V knew the benefits of this matter. The key question was whether the national treasury could support it.
"I don't plan to use the existing national treasury to bear the cost. I'm thinking about such a large piece of unowned wasteland. Landless peasants go to reclaim wasteland. As long as they obtain a permit, they can allocate a certain amount of land per person without any fees. But if Anyone who wants to occupy a large piece of land may have to pay the necessary fees. I want to contact the big nobles like Lensk and the big landowners in Nuremberg. I believe they will all be interested in this plan. After all, the price of slaves continues to increase. As the price goes down, a large number of slaves from Indian are now flooding the markets of Lensk, Nuremberg, and Magsburg. The slaves are used to reclaim the land to grow food and cash crops such as cotton, flax, and sugar beet. I won’t be tempted.”
Pokaninsky's idea also moved Philip V. This is a very beautiful and feasible plan. As long as Clausewitz can completely defeat the Sykes tribe, this idea is completely acceptable. As a reality, the north of the empire is almost blank. Due to the threat of the Boyin people and the long-term emphasis on the south of the empire, the north of the fertile land has not received enough attention. In the previous strategy of giving up all efforts, it was also hoped to go south to capture the Tang River. People's land to alleviate the pressure of the empire's growing population on land needs, but now this national policy can be completely changed, as long as a new city can be built in the north with two fortresses and heavy troops stationed, the power of the Boyin people can be completely squeezed out. Press down on the surrounding areas of the Atlas Mountains to prevent them from going south, and there, the imperial army, especially the cavalry, can fully exert their power by relying on the city fortress, and the infantry can use the mobility of the cavalry to build a complete security line relying on the fortress Ensure the safety of land reclamation farmers.
Seeing his old friend bowed his head and said nothing, Pokaninski knew that his idea had moved the other party, and he further struck while the iron was hot: "Although this is not something that will see results in a year or a half, once we make it Not only can it alleviate the pressure of the land shortage, but the strengthening of the empire's national power will be revealed in at most three years. His majesty can even list a part of the land to grant to some nobles who support the empire's new deal, which can also attract more empires. The nobles joined in supporting His Majesty's policy."
"Well, your plan really tempts me, but you must be careful in the exercise, let the nobles buy slaves and ensure the necessary balance of land production for landless peasants, and don't place too much emphasis on one On the other hand, as for Clausewitz, I will have a serious talk with him about the matter, and ask him to achieve the goal we envisioned.” Finally nodding heavily, Philip V could not help being tempted by this plan, only to let the country’s strength Only when it is fully improved can it have enough strength to fight back when dealing with external threats.
On September 11, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Heathrow Empire led by Clausewitz, the new commander of the Royal Habayashi Army of the Heathrow Empire, began their lightning assault process. Clausewitz personally led the light armored cavalry of the four legions to attack the important settlements of the Sykes tribe at the southern foot of the Atlas Mountains, destroying many settlements of the Sykes tribe.

Due to the loss of the rear, the Sykes tribe had to implement a strategic transfer to the depths of the Atlas Mountains. As many as 50,000 women and children of the Sykes tribe were captured by the Heathrow Empire army, and the Sykes tribe passed through here After the first battle, it almost lost its threat to the northern plains of the Heathrow Empire, and even the western territory of the Dole tribe was also under the threat of the iron heel of the Heathrow Empire army.
On October 6, an infantry unit of the Heathrow Empire eager to destroy the enemy was ambushed by the Sykes tribe in the valley in the middle of the Atlas Mountains.

On October 16, Philip V, Emperor of the Sithrow Empire, announced the end of the 35-day Northern Expedition in the capital Lensk.
