Chapter 656 Joan of Arc's Daughter (Fill Noon)
Xia City, the current lord's mansion has become Xia Wang's mansion, and Xia City, after a long period of development, has officially upgraded from a large city to a giant city and merged with Langya City.
Standing in front of Xiacheng's stone tablet, Chu Tian could see the detailed information of Xiacheng.
After merging with Langya City, Xia City quickly became a giant.

"A population of 1.3 million..."
Chu Tian was somewhat shocked when he saw the population size of the merged two cities. In the era of cold weapons, giant cities with a population of one million are not common.
According to this rate of development, there may be several million people in the future.
Xia Cheng's various attributes have reached above 90, and it will be even more difficult to improve.
Upgraded to a giant city, the scale of the Xia Palace has also become extremely large, even if it can accommodate hundreds of people, there is no problem.
In addition to the fact that Xia City was upgraded from a large city to a giant city, another major event happened in the Lord's Mansion - the birth of Joan of Arc's child.
The Xia Palace was alarmed from top to bottom.
Xiao Chuo was brought under house arrest in the Xia Palace, and he was already familiar with the interpersonal relationship in the Xia Palace, and followed Roufu Diji in and out, preparing hot water.
Because Chu Tian already had experience, he was not very nervous this time.
"Congratulations, my lord, you are a daughter!"
The maid in charge of delivering the baby came out to report.
In this way, he has two sons and two daughters?
Chu Tian moved and went in to see Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc has completely forgotten about returning to France, and now all her attention is on her daughter, who is also the daughter of the Xia Palace.
Several women also came in to watch the daughter of Joan of Arc.
"Why Xia Palace, there are all kinds of people..."
Xiao Chuo discovered that there were not only strangers in the Xia Palace, but also a Rufu Diji who was said to be a princess, Joan of Arc from France, and she was considered a Khitan hero. Missy.
"Wu'er, you have another younger sister. You must protect your younger sister in the future."
Xia Liang hugged Chu Wu, and Chu Wu reached out to touch his sister's face.
"It's really good..."
Huo Qing was a little envious, and Chu Tian hadn't expressed anything to her until now.
Besides Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, Ma Yunlu and others also came in to watch.
Because the Xia Palace had another daughter, Chutian granted an amnesty to Xiacheng, and the whole world celebrated together.
The French players knew that the legendary hero of their civilization had a child in the East, and there was an uproar, but they couldn't help it.
"My lord, the captive bought by Miss Ye has already arrived in Xia City."
When Chu Tian accompanied Joan of Arc and her youngest daughter, the French and English prisoners bought by Catherine from the barbarian camp were sent to Xiacheng.
Now, the Knights of the Round Table and the French National Defense Army can be recruited to supplement King Arthur and Joan of Arc.
These captives were soldiers captured by the barbarians when the lords of France and England were fighting with the barbarians, and they belonged to a relatively good source of soldiers.
Teams of dejected captives were sent to the barracks and transferred to special arms.
The lords of France and England have noticed that Chutian is buying their population, but Chutian is buying the population from their enemies, so the lords of France and England can only protest but cannot take effective measures.
The knights of the round table are equipped with better equipment. Only the population of the knight class in England is eligible to become the knights of the round table. In the French national defense army, even farmers can be transferred to high-level arms. Basically, there is no equipment requirement, spears or sickles. It can be used as a weapon of the French National Defense Army.
"There are a total of 50 English knights and more than a thousand French peasants. These are the first batch of captives bought. After all, the number of knights is too small, and the price is expensive. It seems that the war on the western continent is also very tragic, otherwise there will be no So many prisoners."
Chu Tian counted the prisoners and barely added a batch of servants.
Ekaterina is not bad.
During this period, Mi Zhu, who had been active in Japan, returned.
Mi Zhu has made great achievements in hard work, and was named General Pingwa by Chu Tian. This is the miscellaneous general that Chu Tian set up after he became king, mainly dealing with the affairs of the Dongying Civilized Area.
Mi Zhu brought back news about Dongying District.
"Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu have defeated Takeda Shingen. Takeda Shingen's physical condition does not seem to be very good, and a large-scale rebellion has occurred among the aliens of the Takeda family, and many cities belonging to the Takeda family have been burned. The burning may be behind the Oda family and Tokugawa family who are planning to rebel against the Takeda family."
Mi Zhu took the initiative to visit Chutian and explain to him the changes in Dongying District.
"The Takeda family is Oda Nobunaga's biggest opponent. If the Takeda family is torn apart because of the alien's betrayal, then no one can stop Oda Nobunaga from unifying Japan, not even Uesugi Kenshin."
Chutian heard that Takeda Shingen was defeated, and realized that the speed of the unification of Japan was accelerating.
Oda Nobunaga already has population and economic advantages, and he can completely consume his opponents by virtue of the poor economy.
With a gap of several times the height of the stone, unless one of the parties lacks famous generals, it is possible to fail.
"Among Oda Nobunaga's generals, there are Minamoto Yoshitsune, Minamoto Yoritomo and others. If the Lord wants to pacify Dongying in the future, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of troops will be used, and there will also be a navy commander."
Mi Zhu is in charge of the trade with Dongying. After all, Dongying has a population of 20 to 30 million in "The Lord", which is equivalent to a state in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is a huge market.
At the same time, Mi Zhu also knew that Chu Tian was plotting against Japan and wanted to turn Japan into a vassal state.
"After defeating Mingguan, you will naturally deal with Dongpu. You try to win over Ping Yisheng, but his position is not firm."
Chutian has no intention of attacking Dongpu yet, and the two powerful opponents of Guanzhong and Liaodong are still eyeing each other.
Yoshimori Hirado, the alien lord of Hirado Castle, has a close relationship with Xuzhou, and even sold matchlock guns to Xuzhou, which is a possible partner for cooperation.
"The subordinate understands."
Mi Zhu reported to Chutian about Dongying, and then returned to his hometown in Qu County to reunite with Mi Fang and others. Mi Fang is also a general now.
The Mi family has two miscellaneous generals, who are considered high positions in Chutian's power, and they are considered Chutian's reward for them.
In Liaodong City, Mingguan returned to this city from Yuyuerhai and brought back a group of Jin Kingdom prisoners.
"I didn't expect to be beaten and escaped by Wanyan Agu, and I almost captured him alive."
Mingguan returned to the city, annoyed that Wanyan Agu beat his opponent and escaped.
"The king of Qin sent people to discuss the matter of joining forces."
Fan Wencheng, a civil official of the Liaodong Army, came to report after returning to Liaodong City at Mingguan.
"He finally plans to enter the Central Plains..."
Mingguan's face was solemn, Lao Qin took the initiative to join forces with him, so there was only one purpose - to enter the Central Plains.
No matter Lao Qin or Mingguan, fighting alone is not Chutian's opponent. After all, Chutian has a larger territory and more population, and its strength is strong.
"If the threat of the Mongol Empire is removed, then Chu Zimou will become the biggest enemy, so the King of Qin will seek our cooperation."
"But we still have some threats that haven't been eradicated yet."
Mingguan pondered for a while, and asked someone to fetch a map.
"I don't know where Wanyan Aguda fled. There are remnants of the Liao Kingdom on the Horqin Grassland. In order to avoid future troubles, we must eradicate the remnants of the Liao Kingdom and control the Horqin Grassland."
Ming Pass points to the location of the Horqin Grassland.
This is a relatively fertile grassland.
The Liaodong Army and the Guanlong Army began to accumulate military strength. The biggest enemy before the Han Empire, Temujin's Mongol Empire perished, and conflicts within the Han Empire inevitably broke out.
In Yangzhou, Tongque led the Beifu Army and Jiangdong Army back to the newly established Jianye City.
Jianye City has been upgraded to a large city by Tongque, making up for the gap in history.
"Civil war may break out at any time, we must enter Jingzhou as soon as possible."
Tongque and Sun Jian drank together and discussed the matter of marching to Jingzhou.
Chutian hoarded a large number of troops in Huainan. Before the civil war broke out, it was more difficult to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, after Tongque became the King of Wu in Jiangdong, like Sun Quan in history, he made the entry into Jingzhou his first choice.
"Nanyang said that Tang has great ambitions, but they can join forces to talk about Tang and try to plot Jingzhou."
Zhou Yu has also grown up at this time, with a feather fan and a scarf, and is qualified to participate in major events.
At present, Zhou Yu is the general of Tongque, but he has contacts with Sun Ce again. The two people have similar personalities, so it is easy to make friends.
"I hope that before the outbreak of the civil war, we have won Jingzhou, brother Yi, and then we will work together to take down the country!"
Tongque made a toast to Sun Jian.
Because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Mobei, Sun Jian was already the Marquis of Wucheng. Now Sun Jian has a higher position in Jiangdong, even the Tongque has to rely on Sun Jian's strength to attack Jingzhou.
"Three thousand warships can wipe out Jingchu."
When Sun Jian heard that Tongque was going to march into Jingzhou, he couldn't help feeling very high-spirited.
Conquering Jingzhou will double the territory and troops of the Jiangdong forces, and they can even rule the river.
"With Zhou Yu, Gongzi, Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi and others, Jingzhou is as easy as pie."
Tongque looked at the surface of the Yangtze River, where thousands of warships were practicing.
He is not the largest prince in the Han Empire, but he owns the largest navy in the Han Empire.
In order to capture Jingzhou, he has been preparing for a long time. He may have lost some troops in the battle of Mobei, but the navy did not lose any.
"Father, I also want to go out with you at that time."
At the banquet, the young Sun Quan volunteered.
"No, you are too young."
Sun Jian opposed Sun Quan's self-recommendation. In Sun Jian's view, his son seemed to have no talent for marching and fighting.
For the sake of Sun Quan's future, let him be a civil servant in the future. As for generals, having a son like Sun Ce is enough.
Sun Jian pondered in his heart, and he could also see the talents of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
"Jingzhou..."
After Zhou Yu officially became an official, he has already made contributions to pacifying Shanyue, served as a school lieutenant under Tongque's command, and became one of Tongque's most important confidantes. But this time, the crusade against Jingzhou may be an opportunity to make military exploits and become a general.
Yang Shilang's Jingzhou Legion is also a strong enough opponent for the Jiangdong forces.
"What is Gongjin thinking? Could it be that she is worried that she won't be able to win Jingzhou?"
Sun Ce noticed that Zhou Yu was in a daze, so he took the initiative to ask.
Zhou Yu came back to his senses, smiled lightly and said, "It's not difficult to take Jingzhou."
