Yong Kai's despair was indescribable when he was found hiding in the underground castle during the snowy day. However, because Huangfu Song and Yuan Tan came together, Yong Kai had to climb out of the underground palace no matter how desperate he was.
After the results came out, he saw a huge army in the snow. Yong Kai felt numb at that time. He had no other meaning and just wanted to ask, are you all right? Such a huge army came here in the middle of winter. Bian, can't you think about something?
In fact, Huangfu Song and Perennis didn't want to do this. Marching in the winter is very troublesome, and they are not monsters like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry per capita. Marching under the current extreme cold and heavy snow, the physical exhaustion is extremely terrible, but the Liang people in Northern Europe The world can only be entered in winter. Rome is determined to crush each other, so winter can only come.
For this attack, the Romans spent some effort. First of all, for the supply of grain and grass, the Romans dredged the canals in the mainland so that grain and grass supplies could reach the Baltic Sea by sea. After arriving at the Baltic Sea, they could then be transported by land to Northern Europe.
In this case, it would be relatively easy. The problem is that the time of attack is winter, so we can only go to the Baltic Sea coast in advance to stock up on logistical provisions and use them in winter.
To put it bluntly, there is nothing wrong with this idea. The problem is that it is too cold here, which makes it extremely difficult to transport logistics materials in winter.
To put it simply, transporting supplies for 200,000 people from the Baltic Sea to Northern Europe at this time would require at least the same scale of manpower.
There is no way, people always have to eat. If they don't eat, no elites are useless. In addition, the scale is too large. Even if the number of Eastern European bison herds is extremely large, they will not be able to withstand such a construction. At most, it can be regarded as a food subsidy or something. stuff.
Therefore, when Perennis struggled to transport the supplies to the junction of Eastern Europe and Northern Europe and met Huangfu Song, who was traveling lightly, he felt numb all over.
I worked so hard to transport the supplies, but you told me that there are supplies here? So what do I do with this material? Is there something wrong with your brain?
In later generations, the location of the Yong family was the Murmansk region, which bordered Northern Europe and had a natural ice-free port. Last year, when the Yuan family received a message from Rome that they wanted to conquer the Nordic world, they made preparations and transported supplies on a large scale. Coast of the Arctic Ocean to Murmansk Oblast.
Although the Yong family is not very willing to answer questions, the Yuan family said that they will borrow your land to build a few large warehouses. When they are used up, the warehouses will be yours. The Yong family believes that this place is deserted and you can build whatever you want as long as you don't disturb them. We'll do it.
The people sent by the Yuan family also knew the personality of the Yong family, so they did not bother them. They just used large ships to transport supplies for hundreds of thousands of people across the Arctic Ocean. The Yuan family has been doing this throughout the summer. , already stocked up before winter comes.
Although the Yuan family also knew that the Yong family squatting in Murmansk Region had a large amount of grain in hand, Chunyu Qiong and the others had already eaten hard when they came back with Sharma two years ago. The key to the Yong family's treasury has not been returned yet. It feels a bit wrong to eat it again this time, so I will reserve it there.
After all, if you travel through the Arctic Ocean, the distance is actually very close. The earth is a ball after all. Traveling to high latitudes and crossing it by sea is extremely efficient. Unfortunately, this solution can only be used in summer. In winter, only the Yong family can do it. The harbor is not frozen.
In fact, thinking from this aspect, the Yuan family has actually realized the strategic significance of the place where the Yong family squats. However, it doesn't matter where they squat, and wherever the Yong family squats, it can be regarded as inheriting the destiny. There is nothing to say.
"So it's actually the Romans who want to come and see me?" Yong Kai looked at his elder brother tiredly and asked. Yuan Tan, who was wearing a fur coat in the wind and snow, was almost like a savage.
"Yes, Roman Vice-Emperor Perennis." Yuan Tan explained.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yuan Tan wanted to drag Yong Kai there was actually to provide insurance for the Yong family. In the past, this place was considered to be far away from the sky and the emperor, and no one cared about it. The Yong family squatted here, and there was nothing wrong with it. But now the Romans My tentacles are stretched out, so I still have to give him some face.
Now contact the Roman Deputy Emperor Perennis and let him know that this place is owned. With a power of the same level as Rome, all he needs to do is nod his head.
, then this matter is stable. Who makes this world only have a few countries, and the rest are all regions.
After the two strongest empires nodded, then this matter was considered passed. Even if something went wrong in the future, if the Han Dynasty's hand was not long enough, the Roman side would also lend a hand. After all, we have endured this together. Gun friendship.
Although Yong Kai is a little useless as the head of the family, he still knows the priorities. Just like the situation when Shi Fang Ma was given away for more than a year, there are some things that cannot be done without doing it.
What's more, Yuan Tan came to invite him personally, which was considered a face-saving gift. Even if Yong Kai wanted to lie down in his own underground palace, he had to consider the reality.
"Thank you, Marquis Ye, for the tip. Yong Kai cupped his hands tiredly, but still had that gentle and elegant expression on his face, and Yuan Tan smiled. He knew that Yong Kai didn't want to go, but he was far away from here. There will come a time when Rome really needs help taking care of her.
Perennis was visiting the so-called Yong family basement at this time.
No way, compared to the military rations brought by Rome, the vegetables, fruits, dried bacon and so on in the Yong family's basement are very attractive.
Because there is permafrost in this place, it is no problem to build permanent cold storage as long as the technology is in place. In fact, the Soviet Union later built such things in many places on the mainland.
There is no such thing as a reclamation area in the Yong family. There is no limit to land reclamation. In addition, the Yong family can get basic agricultural tools a year earlier than ordinary people. When Chen Xi proposed this thing to Yuan Feng in the fifth year of court, Yong Kai got it in Chang'an. Samples arrived.
Although the samples at that time still needed a lot of improvement, and there was a big cost factor in them, they were already usable for the Yong family, who did not consider the cost. Therefore, Yong Kai, who came back with the samples, quickly made it in The family popularized this primary agricultural machinery.
The results are very good. In the past, a field planted in one year could produce three years of food, but now it can produce five years.
But even so, the grain and vegetables produced by the Yong family's 60,000 people in a year are not enough to feed the legion led by Perennis and Huangfu Song for a year, but this kind of full savings still makes Perenis appreciate the hard work of this family. It was very emotional that what Perennis was looking at was the newly built treasury built by the Yuan family here, but it was actually not the Yong family's.
"I have met the Roman magistrate." After Yongkai was brought over, he saluted Perennis, and then saluted Huangfu Song. It was obvious that Huangfu Song had subconsciously given up the position of boss to Perennis, but Perennis I just feel like I'm not qualified.
"I heard that you only have 60,000 people here?" Perennis said curiously. It's really incredible that only 60,000 people can produce so much material.
"To be precise, it's 58,831 people. We just did the census this winter." Yong Kai said neither humble nor arrogant. He had no respect for Perennis.
Because of the long winter in the Arctic Circle, even if there are some professional doctors, after several years of adaptation, the Yong family and their subordinates will inevitably have some reactions to bipolar disorder. Therefore, until now, they have been living in the winter. When the time comes, the Yong family will do something specially.
After all, after so many years of hard work, using various professional equipment, and consulting certain professionals, the Yong family successfully connected their bunkers together.
As for what the so-called professional equipment is, of course it is various underground fortification construction equipment. Professionals are even more terrible, those who build imperial tombs.
After all, it is easy to dig a hole, how to dig without collapse, and how to build the structure are all very important and require top professionals. There are many professionals in above-ground construction, and professionals in underground construction are second to none in building imperial tombs, so the Yong family started from I don't know where I found some people who built imperial mausoleums to help them design the engineering structure of the bunker.
It is not important to commit taboos in this aspect, because after Emperor Min died and the eldest princess succeeded to the throne, those who built the imperial mausoleum were dismissed. Liu Tong felt that if he died and was buried in the imperial mausoleum, he would have to be with his ancestors. There was a fight, so I planned to be buried in the princess’s tomb and become the boss.
Although according to the system, it had to be built slowly since he ascended the throne, with a large amount of small money invested every year. However, because Liu Tong was too stingy and did not want to pay, he ordered the young master to repair the tomb. Chen Xi directly asked Lu Bu to build a super sinkhole, saying It was the kind that was planned to bury a hundred-story pagoda inside, with only the top of the tower exposed as a tomb. Liu Tong went to take a look and felt that he
If you really want to die, say goodbye.
After that, they no longer asked the young master to build the tomb, and just planned to build a tomb for the entire monument. So the people who built the imperial tomb were completely dismissed. In fact, these people were considered top craftsmen, and they were soon dismissed. Chen Xi and Sun Qian absorbed it, and the excess fell into the hands of the Yong family.
There is no way. What Chen Xi and Sun Qian need are basically big guys to build the above-ground part. Although the underground part is also useful, there are not many available. And the Yong family's place is buried in snow every year, so underground construction technology is also needed. It was a two-way trip. When these craftsmen came here, they also brought some people over, which brought the Yong family's population to close to 60,000.
Of course, it is also because of the design capabilities of this group of people that the Yong family can now live well in winter, otherwise they would not have suffered from bipolar disorder until now.
But for now, it seems that the doctors of the Yong family are unable to treat this strange mental illness like bipolar disorder. However, Yong Kai found that as long as these young people with bipolar disorder can be with other young people and vent their energy every day, they can use It won't take long for it to return to normal.
Therefore, the Yong family specially built a super-large underground palace at the core level of the imperial mausoleum to allow these young people to vent their energy. Currently, the main popular sport is Cuju with heavy armor and full armor. There are many people playing and watching. It belongs to Everyone is entertained.
By the way, relying on this kind of abnormal entertainment activities, the Yong family successfully selected more than 200 elite backbones from their own family as members of the summer patrol team.
Each of these young men is strong and strong. They can run quite fast while wearing heavy armor. They are also resistant to impact and blunt blows, and their endurance is extremely explosive. From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as a method of smelting. After all, Normal people really can't wear a hundred pounds of heavy armor to play football for a day, and fight for a day. By the way, people like this really can't deal with bipolar disorder...
"It's really amazing that only such a small number of people can actually hoard such a large amount of food and grass." Perennis said with great emotion.
"The land here can be cultivated in summer. It can be said that except for forest areas, we have planted food in all places, and then in some places that are not suitable, we have planted fruit trees." Yong Kai smiled and said that they are very good at farming and construction.
After all, his ancestor Yong Chi built a city bit by bit in the barbaric wilderness of the mountains. Shifang in the early Western Han Dynasty was a town deep in the wilderness. It took hundreds of years for the Yong family to take root and settle down. It became the home of the princes in the true sense.
Therefore, the Yong family still knows how to develop and construct.
Perennis recalled the winter snow outside, and then thought about the fertile land in Rome. He thought it would be better not to discuss it. He never thought that as long as the land was fertile, he could produce food. After all, Roman agriculture, let alone It's trash. It really can't be beaten. I don't know why. It's just that it can't be beaten.
"We are going to Northern Europe to destroy a dangerous inner world over there. There may be a dangerous mythical area left over from ancient times. On our way here, we may need to supply supplies at the Marquis of Shifang." Perennis thought for a while and said. .
In the past, Perennis had great respect for the marquises of the Han Dynasty, but later he discovered that the marquises of the Han Dynasty were different from their duke deputies. The marquises of the Han Dynasty were more like the senators of the Roman Senate, but some marquises had They are just as strong as the Duke of Border County.
After discovering this, Perennis became much calmer about the Han princes. After all, the princes he met early were really capable of fighting. The Yuan family, the Cao family, and the Marquis of Chiyang in the Battle of Two Rivers, the beautiful The Marquis of Yang, the Marquis of Wannian, etc., were each more capable of fighting than the other, which made Rome always feel that the princes of the Han Dynasty were just like their dukes and deputies, and they were required to be particularly good at fighting.
As a result, it was later discovered that there were only a few lieutenants who could fight, and most of them were useless.
"I have given the key to the treasury here to Yehou, and the materials that our Yong family will consume have been transferred to the underground palace for easy access." Yong Kai replied with a calm expression.
"Thank you Marquis Shifang for your understanding. If the Yong family has time, you can send someone to accompany you." Perennis said. Yuan Tan naturally gave Yong Kai a look when he heard this. What the Yong family needs most is this thing. It is an amulet. .
Yong Kai nodded when he heard this. He was not stupid. Before, he thought that Yuan Tan brought him just to meet and chat.
Face, I didn’t expect that there is such a benefit. If you send one or two hundred people, they will become comrades!
