Chapter 29 29 With the wind

"Sir, do you want to send troops to destroy Alanhill first... the technology and craftsmen there are also Bring it back..." The other officer leaned against Zorn and suggested very ruthless.

Zon smiled, waved his hand, and said, "That small country, it's not worth us to start so early. Anyway, he has to pay 50,000 gold coin tax tribute every year, and he can still escape. Is it?"

"Being a human being, don't be arrogant. When you see something good from others, you immediately want to grab it." He looked at his subordinate from the corner of his eyes, as if he was trying to cultivate it: " You have to take a long-term view! Think about the impact of your choice."

As he said, he tapped the subordinate's shoulder twice with his hand: "For a person as cooperative as Archduke Alanhill, it should be a matter of keeping him there for a few years to enjoy. After all, there are not many people as acquainted as he is now."

"First, give The other lords set an example and let them know that obedient people, our Arrant Empire, can give them a little benefit." Zon said this, and there was a sense of life and death in his heart: "Second, people only offer treasures. , you are going to steal other people's family business, what should we do with our reputation?"

"I see, my lord." The subordinate lowered his head and looked like he was being taught. For a person like him, sometimes showing his stupidity to show off his adult's intelligence, which is also a very useful flattery technique: "Then let's just forget it?"

"When we come back from the south, we will find another reason to look for Alanhill's bad luck." Zorn said confidently: "When the time comes, a hundred thousand troops and a thousand cannons, let the Alanhill Archduke see what is The heritage of a great country!"

"Your wise man!" At this time, the flattery shot was in place, and the subordinate took two steps back and followed behind General Zorn.

......

"This is really the heritage of industry." Looking at everything in front of him, Dez said to the entourage around him a little bit didn't know whether to cry or laugh .

He came this time in order to make Alanhill's occupation of the fort go more smoothly—in fact, there was no secret, it was nothing more than sending things.

"Slow down, slow down! Everyone has it! Everyone has it!" An official who was in charge of comforting the civilians of Tubao was shouting loudly in the crowd at this moment .

And under his feet, piles of cloth from Alanhill. Every resident of the earthen fort, as long as they have received Alanhill's certificate, can receive such cloth, without any exceptions.

At the same time, there were all kinds of small things, such as soap produced in the Alanhill workshop, and matches produced in the Mayne factory - in short, all these things were converted into The pension was distributed to every Tubao resident.

The wounds caused by the war healed quickly, and every Tubao people had become accustomed to this situation. There is some friction between the earth fort and the grassland empire every year, and a group of cavalry die in the earth fort every year.

Because of this, the Alanhill troops who did not burn, kill, and loot after occupying the fort were not rejected by the people of the fort. Life went on, and no one paid attention to the Alanhill that rose from the top of the castle. black golden eagle king flag.

"Do I have it too? Excuse me, do I have it too?" A woman waving the Alanhill household registration certificate in her hand was squeezed to and fro in the crowd.

Beside her, an Old Lady pushed the woman in disgust, and scolded unhappily: "Go away, your husband was killed by Alanhill's soldiers, how can you still have it? Your face to bring something from others?"

The woman begged for something with a sad face, but was drowned out by the noisy voice. However, she still stubbornly held up her household registration certificate, and seemed unwilling to leave like this.

"Let the guards maintain order here! That woman will also be given in sufficient quantity." Dez ordered the guards beside him, and pointed to those who were struggling in the crowd, no one to rely on woman: "Let them line up! Don't make such a fuss!"

Soon, more than a dozen Alanhill soldiers joined the shoving crowd, seeing these soldiers wearing long swords Arrived, all the people subconsciously stopped the crowding. After a while, a long queue was lined up, and the scene suddenly returned to order.

Because of the orderly relationship, each household registration holder can receive the materials that belong to them. Once there were stamped and formed utensils, and various small objects... Everyone walked with a smile on their faces, and it seemed that Alanhill's call was not a bad thing for them.

Before, mortal life was very difficult. Because the earthen fort also has to pay taxes, the people here are also exploited. Now, they have a new life, which makes them very satisfied.

Sometimes people are like this. When life becomes very difficult, a box of matches, a bar of soap, and a humble Small Mirror will make them happy.

And for Alanhill, the things that were produced were so cheap that it made people cry. Using these things in exchange for the support of the people is much more effective than issuing Silver Coin and gold coin.

even more how...Dez also knows that Chris will still have to send coins later. It seems that every civilian in Alanhill will get 1 Silver Coin as a war benefit after the war is won. This seems to be a rule, a rather annoying rule.

Alanhill's population is not too small now. Because of the annexation of the earth castle, their population base has exceeded 500,000. If you count the homeless people attracted by food and other benefits, the population has even approached one million.

With so many people, every time they win a war, if they have to share a bonus... It is estimated that if they win again, they may have to share 100,000 gold coins. Dez doesn't think that using 100,000 gold coins to buy people's hearts is a lot. He is afraid that when the population breaks through 10 million or even 100 million, he has no money to give...

"Everyone has 5 meters of cloth! This Alanhill The Grand Duke is really generous..." An old man walked out of the crowd excitedly, holding a roll of gray cloth, with a satisfied smile on his face.

I heard that Alanhill dukedom has countless job opportunities, and the people will not be hungry. There used to be a fief lord to control the migration. Now the fief lord is dead, and no one cares about this kind of thing anymore. Then if you go to Alanhill to try one's luck, maybe you can find a bowl of rice to eat...

Everyone has their own thoughts, those families who have a son and a husband because of the death , and because of the unexpected compensation, it became better to speak. The so-called shorthand of eating people, after taking Chris's money, people subconsciously transferred their hatred to the ignorant lord Dombran who resisted Alanhill.

Anyway, people are already dead, so everyone has no way to vent their hatred, and everything will be over. These small territorial castles have no concept of a country, and they have been in a state of forced division for a long time, so it is only a matter of time when they are reunited by Alanhill.

"If we keep fighting like this, our expenses are really less." Although almost 100,000 gold coins were distributed, Dez did the math. In the past year, he purchased from the earthen fort. There are coal mines and steel, which is almost worth 150,000 gold coins.

The money was originally earned by Dongbulan, but now it has grown wings and flew back to Alanhill's vault: most of the gold coins that were stolen by Dongbulan, All piled up in the castle treasury of the earthen fort.

As a result, Dongbulan was accidentally killed during the battle, and the gold coin of the earth fort returned to Chris's pocket-because Chris's advance was too fast, North County and the two territories of Hanhai. Before the troops could gather, the earth fort died.

Chris this time can be considered to have refreshed his own annexation speed record: before waiting for the opponent's allies to support him, he laid down a territory. Such an attack speed seems to have never appeared in the war history of mortals.

"Don't worry, we've already sent a messenger... If nothing else happens, the timid North County will probably surrender this time." Dez looked at the man in the distance who was holding the cloth and carrying other things The woman who left couldn't hide the smile on her face.

The woman's husband was shot by the Alanhill Grenadiers, but she didn't have much hatred for Alanhill who fell from the sky. If Alanhill can quickly accumulate his own territory in this way, then this dukedom will soon have the strength to compete with other empires.

Dez knew the lord of North County and had a lot of dealings in business. Dez couldn't know what kind of virtue the other party was. That is really a strange thing who has come and gone, and the Qing has come to the Qing. The only thing that can survive until now is the ability to be submissive.

As long as you don't move his position, he will agree to whatever you say to him... This is the power of the lord of North County. Because of this, the fief lord was nicknamed "Lord with the Wind".

However, the good days of the Windlord may be over - as Archduke Alanhill, Chris wants Absolute Control over Northshire, so it's unlikely that the Windlord will be given another chance.

When the Alanhill Grenadiers arrive, it is estimated that this fief lord will not even have a chance to escape, so he can only capture and surrender his territory.

Thinking of this, Dez stood up and turned away from the distribution point where the soothing supplies were distributed. As he walked, he thought in his heart: "Finally! There is a vast sea left at the end, and the surrounding territories are all under my Alanhill rule!"
