Twenty-Nine with the Wind

"Sir, do you want to send troops to destroy Alan Hill first... and bring back the skills and craftsmen there..." Another officer leaned on Zon's side and suggested ruthlessly.

Zon waved his hand with a smile, and said, "That small country is not worth our early start. Anyway, he has to pay 50,000 gold coins in tax tribute every year, can he still escape?"

"Be 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, and seemed to cultivate his intentions: "You have to take a long-term view! Think about it. Think about the impact of your choice.”

As he spoke, he patted the subordinate's shoulder twice with his hand: "For someone as cooperative as Archduke Alan Hill, it should be a matter of keeping him there for a few years to enjoy. Not much now."

"First, set an example for other lords and let them know that obedient people, our Arlantean Empire, can give them a little benefit." Zon said here, there is a kind of pleasure in life and death: "Secondly, people only offer treasures, so if you go to steal their family business, what will happen to our reputation?"

"I see, my lord." The subordinate lowered his head, as if he had been taught. For a person like him, sometimes showing his stupidity to set off his own intelligence, which is also a very useful flattery technique: "Then let's just forget about it?"

"When we come back from the south, we will find another reason to look for the bad luck of Alan Hill." Zorn said confidently: "When the time comes, the one hundred thousand army and a thousand cannons will show the Archduke of Alan Hill. What is the heritage of a great country!"

"Your Excellency is wise!" This time, the flattery was in place, and the subordinate only took two steps back and followed behind General Zon.

...

"This is really the foundation of industry." Looking at everything in front of him, Des said to the entourage beside him with a bit of confusion.

He came this time to make the matter of Alan Hill's occupation of the fort go more smoothly—in fact, there is no secret, it is 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 the bunker was shouting loudly in the crowd at this moment.

And under his feet, the cloth from Ireland Hill was piled up. Every resident of the earthen fort, as long as they have received the certificate of Ireland Hill, can receive such cloth, without any exception.

At the same time, various small things were distributed, such as soap produced in the Irish Hill workshop, and matches produced in the Mayne factory-in short, these things were all converted into pensions, It was distributed to every resident of the earthen fort.

The wounds brought by the war were healed quickly as before, 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 Ailan Hill troops who did not burn, kill, and loot after occupying the fort were not rejected by the people of the earth fort, and life continued. Black golden eagle king flag.

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

Beside her, an old woman pushed the woman in disgust, and scolded unhappily: "Go away, your husband was killed by the soldiers of Ellen Hill, how can you still have the face to lead Something from people?"

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! The woman must also be given a sufficient amount.

Des ordered the guards beside him, and pointed to the women who were struggling in the crowd: "Let them line up!" Stop being so messy! "

Soon, more than a dozen Ailan Hill soldiers joined the shoving crowd. Seeing the arrival of these soldiers wearing long swords, all of them subconsciously stopped 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. There was a stamped utensil, and all kinds of small objects... Everyone had a smile on their face when they walked away. It seems that the call from Alan Hill is not a bad thing for them. .

Before, the life of mortals 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.

People are like this sometimes. When life becomes very difficult, a box of matches, a bar of soap, and a small mirror will make them happy.

And for Ailan Hill, these things that were produced were so cheap that they were so cheap that people wanted to cry. Using these things in exchange for the support of the people is much more effective than issuing silver and gold coins.

What's more... Des also knew that Chris would still have to issue coins in the future. It seems that every commoner of Ailan Hill will get a war benefit of 1 silver coin after the victory of the war. This seems to be a rule, a rather annoying rule.

The current population of Ailan Hill is not too small. Because of the annexation of the earth castle, their population base has now 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 the war, if they have to share a bonus... It is estimated that if they win again, they may be given out 100,000 gold coins. Des doesn't think that 100,000 gold coins are used to buy people's hearts. What he is afraid of is that when the population exceeds 10 million or even 100 million, he will have no money to give...

"Everyone has 5 meters of cloth! This Archduke Alan Hill is really generous..." An old man hugged a roll of gray cloth and walked out of the crowd excitedly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

I heard that there are countless job opportunities in the Principality of Ailan Hill, and the people will not go hungry. In the past, the Lord Lord controlled the migration, but now the Lord Lord is dead, and no one cares about this kind of thing anymore. Then if you go to Alan Hill to try your luck, maybe you can find a bowl of rice to eat...

Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts. Those families who have lost their husbands and sons have also become better speakers because of the unexpected compensation. The so-called cannibalism, after taking Chris's money, people subconsciously transferred their hatred to the ignorant Lord Dombran who resisted Alan Hill.

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 Alan Hill.

"In this way, our expenses are really less." Although almost 100,000 gold coins were distributed, Des did a random calculation. In the past year, the coal mines and steel purchased from the earth fort, It's almost worth 150,000 gold coins.

The money was originally earned by Dombran, but now, as if it had grown wings, it flew back to the treasury of Alan Hill: most of the gold coins stolen by Dombran were piled up in the earthen fort. in the castle vault.

As a result, Dong Bran was accidentally killed during the battle, and the gold coins of the earth fort were returned to Chris's pocket-because Chris's troops were advancing too fast, the troops from the two territories of North County and Hanhai had not had time to assemble. , the fort is dead.

This time, Chris also set a new record for his annexation speed: before the support of the opponent's allies was in place, 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." Des looked at the woman in the distance who left with the cloth and other things, her face Can't hide the smile on it.

The woman's husband was killed by the Aeranhill Grenadier, but she had little hatred for Aeranhill, who had fallen from the sky. If Ailan Hill can quickly accumulate its own territory in this way, then this duchy will soon have the strength to compete with other empires.

Des knew the lord of North County and had a lot of dealings in business. Des knew exactly what kind of virtue the other party was. That is really a strange thing who has come to surrender, and the Qing has come to the Qing, and it is the ability to be submissive that can survive until now.

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. It is precisely because of this that the lord was nicknamed "Lord with the Wind".

However, the good days of this Wind Lord may be over - as the Archduke of Alan Hill, Chris wants absolute control over Northshire, so it is unlikely to give this Wind Lord another chance.

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

Thinking of this, Des stood up, turned his head and left the distribution point where the soothing products were distributed. As he walked, he thought in his heart, "Finally! There is only one Vast Sea left at the end, and the surrounding territories are all under the rule of I Alan Hill!"
