Power and Empire Chapter 1497: Bi Ye Gu (8)
Biyegu
The earth was locked in the severe winter, and it was silvery white. The fat man was riding a horse on the **** of the battle that day. "Your Majesty, our army has moved into Bangor and encountered no resistance!" Statunko reported from the side.
"Where is Francis?"
The corners of the fat man’s mouth twitched slightly, his whip patted his riding boots lightly, and the snow hòuhòu in front of him covered everything, except for the burnt-out low bushes and some scorched black marks. Nothing could be seen, the top of his head. The sun is indifferent and hardly feel the heat,
Defeating the Southwest Army and then occupying Bangor is a planned thing. Although the Bangor area is not large, it is located on the flank of Rwanda, on the flank of Rwanda. With the road of Bangor, from Austria Acha does not need to transport by sea every time to Rwanda Acre. Controlling Bangor means that the forces of the Falcon Kingdom have officially broken away from the geographical constraints of the northwest coast and have truly entered the first step to penetrate the northwestern hinterland. /
" As his Majesty expected, that guy had fled with his belongings before our army arrived! "Statunko rode on a horse and smiled at the corners of his mouth." Bangor now has no owner. In fact, our army entered Bangor City in full justifiability, but the escaped Francis I’m afraid it’s not so good. We have followed your Majesty’s instructions and passed the news of Francis’s possible escape to the refugees in Bangor ahead of time. I believe The Lord Duke must be very embarrassed at the moment. I hope it’s not bad to be swallowed up by the refugees."
" Bangor’s matter, let the Bangor people solve it by themselves, we just need to watch it!"
The fat man rode his horse forward, his horse hoof raised the broken snow in the ground. More than ten days have passed since the battle, and the snow was able to conceal the traces of the ground, but in the white snow, the broken sword and spear were still exposed, even the fat man saw There is a military flag broken into cloth strips. The pattern on it is difficult to see, but the golden tassels that are unique to the Imperial flag are still a bit conspicuous in the snow
"How is Bangor's situation?" The fat man asked Statunko behind him
"It’s worse than expected. Even in the regional capital, the stock of grain is almost exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter!"
Statunko’s face flashed with hesitation, and he said intermittently, "It is said that there are close to 100,000 refugees in the area outside the city. If they cannot be effectively comforted, I’m afraid it will become a tendency to cause terrible disturbances."
"For the food issue, I will let the navy increase its efforts!"
The fat man heard it very seriously and said slowly, "As for the refugees, it’s a bit of trouble. It’s winter. It’s hard to solve it entirely by navy fishing, and the cost of transportation from the coast is also added. Have to think of other ways"
" 50,000 people will be transferred from Bangor area to Oacha and Baston, and the other 50,000 refugees will be relocated to Rwanda Aka, which is close to the sea and increases the number of civilian fishing. It should be able to To relieve some pressure, and I want to rebuild Atwood Sea City, as a docking point for the Imperial Navy, also requires a large amount of labor. Now I have added more than 40,000 prisoners, which is really a headache...! "The fat man rubbed his temple painfully with his right hand
"How is your Majesty going to deal with these prisoners?" Statunko asked curiously.
" The old rule is that if you want to have food, you have to work hard. "Fatty doesn't care, he picks up his eyebrows" I have already planned, and the road from Normandy to the north has been basically completed. But from Normandy to Rwanda in the south, the zigzag road is more than a thousand li long. This is a real big project. With more than 40,000 strong labors, if you are busy in the winter, it should be reluctant. This goal can be achieved. I will first allocate 20,000 prisoners to you. Anyway, the first thing to do is to build the road from Oacha to Bangor! Then connect Bangor and Rwanda in this section. , You are responsible!"
"Tap!" Just as the two were walking and talking, a guard cavalry came galloping over and stopped in front of the Fatty's station. The cavalry rolled over and dismounted and said, "Master Julius Fort has arrived in Bangor. The Governor of Multiple Choice asked me to report to your Majesty!"
"Sure enough, it's coming!" A light flashed in the fat man's eyes, without the slightest surprise on his face. He caught the fatty fish Algernon Katja by himself. This old fox is a weird thing if he doesn't have a piece of the pie. He takes a deep breath. With a sigh of relief, he raised his whip and yelled, "Speed up, let's go to Bangor, I don't want to camp in the wild tonight!"
The hundred guards behind "Yes" made a bang. The horses galloped and raised thousands of rolls of snow, like a snowstorm, rushing out of the Biye Valley that put tens of thousands of Southwestern Army into desperation that day
In the evening, under the golden afterglow, the fat man entered the capital of Bangor. This is a medium-sized city with a population of less than 50,000. It is divided into inner and outer areas. The inner area belongs to the nobleman and the original lord Francis. In the outer area, ordinary citizens live, and there is no one on the street except the patrol team.
The city just occupied is still in turmoil. The fat man rides through the central avenue, and he can feel a lot of faint and fearful gazes shooting on himself from both sides of the street
"Look, it looks like a barbarian general!"
"Yes, it's terrible~ IndoMTL.com~ is just like the legendary devil. Look at his armor. I heard that he was made of human bones. Will he order the city to be slaughtered!"
"Sister, I don't want to die yet, I..."
Various low voices kept piercing into Fatty Octavia’s abnormal ears, Fatty’s face was calm, pretending to hear nothing,
Before a clear occupation notice was issued, this was generally the case in all occupied areas. For the northwest coast, most of the inland people had cruel ideas.
Walked on the central road for ten minutes, crossed the bridge in front of you and entered the inner city of the city. The scene here is much better than the outer city where civilians live outside. The richly decorated aristocratic mansion, the wide corridor walkway, white Marble carvings, those hesitant voices that constantly penetrate into the ears, disappear here without a trace.
According to Statunko’s report, most of the nobles in the city chose to flee after learning that Duke Francis had escaped, and embarked on a long escape route, which means that these mansions are empty
"It's finally over. It's really an unpleasant experience!" The fat man gave a sigh of relief, but not far away, he knew that there was a bigger problem waiting for him, his cheap father-in-law Zhu Learsford, it's obviously a bad intention!
"Your Majesty!" Duo-cho was already waiting in front. He saw the fat man coming and hurriedly greeted him. He whispered, "Master Juliers Fort is here for Algernon Katja. Your Majesty must be cautious. Don't agree to his request!" (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
