When the birch candle burns out, a new candle is replaced. The night was dark, with faint light from the stars and moon. At this moment, candlelight and moonlight illuminated the bed at the same time. On the table, there is a map spread out, which the world will never forget.
"The big plan is the great infrastructure of the kingdom! Build 600 miles of county roads and dredge 700 miles of waterways. Bronze tools and iron tools will be used on a large scale in the project. And the gunpowder from the Divine Enlightenment Institute will also be used. Prioritize supply!...The scale of mobilization in each county is tens of thousands, which will test the level of local organization. Large-scale labor will definitely kill people, but food supply and simple medical care must be provided to try to reduce casualties!"
Thinking of this, Shulot pondered for a while and continued to write notes.
"Select a group of priests from the Kingdom's Divine Power University, and then select a hundred people from my bodyguards. They will go to various counties to serve as my direct supervisors and supervise the execution of the project!"
The construction of large-scale projects often gathers tens of thousands of people and consumes a lot of materials, so there must be adequate supervision. Shulot's prestige is enough to dispatch supervisors and make generals and warriors everywhere obey orders. He was not worried about the loyalty of the generals, but he was worried that the warriors' methods were too cruel and they forced the civilians too much.
The priests and guards also supervise the use of logistics supplies and assist in calculating the mobilization of various manpower and material resources. This is not to say that corruption can be eradicated, that is impossible. As long as they can reduce the proportion of materials lost in various projects to about 30% to 40%, Shulot will be very satisfied.
The arrangements for the big plan are here for now. Within three days, the messengers will rush to all counties in the kingdom with complete royal orders and tokens. After the construction matters are dealt with, the next step is to kill!
"Apa County Yin Ezpan once proposed a plan the year before last, which was to send troops from Snake Bone Village in Apa County, follow the Chatao River north to the Chapala Lake area, and penetrate directly into the southern hinterland of Prince Feather! But I didn't Instead, he was allowed to resettle the immigrants, establish settlements, and focus on the development of the Apa Plain. However, with the influx of more than 100,000 immigrants last year, Apa County was short of food and unable to take the initiative."
Shulot looked at Lake Chapala, his eyes flashing and his thoughts fluctuating.
"The Chapala Lake area has a flat terrain, a vast area, and crisscrossed rivers and lakes. It is similar to the Apa Plain, but the transportation is more convenient! To the east is the upper reaches of the Leman River, which connects the capital city in the lake. To the west is the Leman River. The lower reaches of the Man River go straight to the Pacific Ocean for 600 miles. To the south, it branches into two branches, the 400-mile Chatao River connects the Apa Plains, and the 400-mile Chaco River connects to the Colima Mountains. To the north, there is a The six-hundred-mile-long river flows south from the Zacatecas wilderness, the home of the Guakili canine descendants, through the territory of the Guamar canine descendants, and merges into the Great Lake Chapala!..."
"Five sections of rivers connect the east, west, north and south. The gold and silver mines and coal mines in the Zacatecas Wilderness, the iron mines in the Colima Mountains, the grain in the Apa Plains, the trade in the Mexica Valley, and the waterway directly into the Pacific Ocean are all... Gather here!"
Thinking of this, Shulot raised his head slightly and looked up at the starry sky. Chapala Lake is two hundred miles east to west and has five sections of long rivers intersecting. There is only one drawback to such a terrain, and that is that it is prone to flooding!
"The lakes and rivers are unpredictable gods. Her moodiness determines the rise and fall of the tribe."
Shulot looked leisurely and recited an ancient Prepecha proverb, but he would not stop there.
"...However, big lakes and rivers are also the best transportation, as long as you have the ability to tame them! In this classical era of insufficient productivity, the Chapala Lake area has not yet been able to reflect its advantages. And when the industrial age comes, the future generations will The Lake Patzcuaro area will gradually become dormant, while the Lake Chapala area will continue to rise. The city of Guadalajara on the lakeside will also become the second largest metropolitan area in Mexico!"
After pondering for a long time, Shulot finally made up his mind. He was bound to win this lake area. As for post-occupation governance, it can be done slowly.
"After this year's autumn harvest, when food is sufficient and people's hearts are a little more stable, Ezpan can send troops from Apa County. The Second Lancers Corps will still stay in the local area and organize civilians to build canals and reservoirs. The Tekos Battalion and the Hydra Corps will be sent out. !」
"The Long Serpent Legion has the Tlaxcala warriors as its backbone, and most of them have been formed. They can send out troops to plunder after the autumn. As long as the Long Serpent Legion makes meritorious service and is granted lands and titles, the warriors from various tribes in Tlaxcala will gradually be included. The kingdom’s military system!”
"And Monkey Kuruka will also send troops from Hekou County upstream. He can recruit the Guamar dog descendants and carefully investigate the reality of the Guamar people. The three-way robbery will not allow Prince Feather to have a chance to breathe. When I return from the eastward expedition, I will launch a westward expedition and completely occupy the land of Chapala!"
With this thought in mind, there is no hesitation. Shulot stood up and walked out of the bright tent into the deep night. He looked at Yunshe City in the north, but could only see the shadow of the towering mountains.
"God bless you! The army is stationed, and the two strong fortresses have been besieged for a year! What is the situation in the two cities now? And when will the follow-up of this Eastern Expedition end?"
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Shulot had already answered these questions. In Yunshe Mountain City, many small groups of militiamen were dispatched to hide and seek with the warriors in the mountains and forests. And these mountain city militias have only one purpose, which is to obtain salt.
"According to the militiamen's confession, a lot of food was harvested in the mountain fields of Yunshe Mountain City during last year's autumn harvest. At this rate of consumption, their food can last for another year! However, they are short of salt."
Yunshe Mountain City is short of salt, but Baisheqiu City is short of everything! Some militiamen escaped from Qiucheng, and the news they brought was first that "nobles ate food, warriors ate people, and the old, weak, women and children all died." But in the last month, it has become "nobles and warriors ate people together, and the strong men and women were all killed." Once you draw a dice, sacrifice and share the food."
The city of White Snake Hill has indeed run out of ammunition and food, and everyone is eating each other. However, even in such a tragic situation, the Tlaxcala militiamen in the city did not riot in resistance. The gods are aloof and as difficult to disobey as gods. Priests performed sacrificial rituals in the name of God. And the warriors have the power to suppress it easily once they find signs of it.
"The divine power is deeply rooted in people's hearts and engraved into their bones. The gap between warriors and militiamen is also as big as a world of difference. The militiamen in the city are so hungry that they have no strength. Their most rebellious choice is to try their best to escape from the city and find a chance to survive!"
Shulot lowered his eyes. He could imagine the tragic situation in White Snake Hill City. A messenger has been sent from the Kingdom's Cannon Casting Bureau. Six heavy-duty mortars weighing one thousand kilograms have been cast and will be shipped to the front line soon. In about two months, these six mortars can be transported here with difficulty against the long river of Tulsas.
"If we hurry up, we may be able to capture White Snake Hill City before the peak of the rainy season in July. And if we go slower, the heavy rains will stop in July and August, and then the heavy rains will subside in September, and we can begin to attack the city... We should be able to attack the city in October..." capture!"
Shulot's eyes flashed and he looked to the north. The two last fortresses of the Cloud Snake God Descendants were surrounded by a series of trenches and camps, making it impossible to escape at all. White Snake Qiu City is running out of food and can no longer support itself. As for Yunshe Mountain City, it still needs a lot of work.
"Yunshe Mountain City, the terrain is so dangerous...there is no rush."
Shulot thought for a while, then looked to the east. The black wolf was leading the army towards the coast of the Totonak people. And with the king holding an army and sitting here, Dongfang's arrangements will be much easier to carry out. After the Eastern Expedition is over and the Alliance army returns, it will be beyond our reach to plan the various ministries in the East!
"Master, the night is getting dark, it's time to rest."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, stood behind the king and waited for a long time before whispering an admonishment. Shulot raised his head, looked at the bright moon that had risen in the sky, and nodded slightly.
"Well. Eckart, you should rest too! There are guards at the door."
"Master, it's okay with me."
Eckart lowered his head and saluted respectfully. Hearing this, Shulot didn't say anything more. He walked towards the tent where he was resting, and suddenly he stopped and thought of something.
"Eckart, how long has it been since I visited Naxiu?"
"Your Highness, you handle the government affairs of the kingdom, handle the military situation of the Eastern Expedition Army, and often meet with the leaders of each legion... It has been more than a month since you entered the Tree Snake City."
"Oh? Has it been more than a month?"
Shulot frowned and touched his beardless chin.
"It's been so long!...Naxiu is acclimatized. It's been several months, why hasn't she recovered yet?"
"..."
Eckart lowered his head and said nothing. He must abide by the duties of the captain of the guard and be cautious in his words and deeds. As for the family affairs of the head of the family, it is difficult to talk about it.
"Forget it! Ekart, prepare your escort. The government and military affairs have been taken care of. I'm going back to Tree Snake City tomorrow!"
"Yes, follow your will!"
Eckart lowered his head and looked at his toes. Until Shulot entered the tent and extinguished the candles. He then raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
"The high priest said, "The moon is in the sky, sometimes full and sometimes lacking. Even the king who is high in the sky will be indecisive and the moon will be waning."..."
"Master, I serve you loyally, just like I served your grandfather. No matter what choice you make, I will hold a sharp ax and handle everything for you!"
The moonlight night is dim, the light and shadow flicker. Eckard stood in front of the tent with a copper ax on his shoulder, and there was no more sound. And the deepest night also came from the east, drowning the tent silently.
