Chapter 712: Enthroned as Emperor(1/3)
Everyone in Xinluo City is filling the hole, which they dug themselves. Datang soldiers are filling the hole on the other side.
Filling a hole is always easier than digging it.
The hole they dug in three days was filled in two days.
Thirty thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty got off their vehicles and marched directly to Xinluo City on foot.
At this point, Li Min was completely relieved.
After all, there are more than 50,000 soldiers of the Zheng family in Xinluo City.
And they only have 10,000 riflemen.
If things happen again and again in the Zheng family in Xinluo City, it will definitely be a troublesome matter.
And now, another 30,000 Huaxia City soldiers have stationed themselves in Xinluo City.
The Zheng family was destined to be unable to make any waves, so Li Min was completely relieved.
However, the tanks and trucks from Huaxia City are still unable to drive through for the time being.
Because the hole has been filled.
But trucks and tanks are too heavy after all.
Especially for tanks, with such a heavy weight, the soil just after filling the hole is very loose, and it will sink in immediately.
At least a layer of wooden boards or other materials must be placed on these roads to allow tanks and trucks to pass.
However, it doesn't matter whether you pass earlier or later.
As long as those 30,000 soldiers can pass, there will be no problem.
Next, Li Min summoned Zheng Wei, the head of the Zheng family, and had a secret conversation with him.
Li Min promised Zheng Wei, the head of the Zheng family, that he would ensure the safety of all Zheng clan members.
However, the Zheng family's belongings could only leave them a very small part.
The Zheng family members will also be dispersed in various urban areas, and all their members will be dispersed.
And these members are not allowed to move within a hundred years.
In a hundred years, they will naturally spread everywhere.
But the Zheng family, as a super aristocratic family, will no longer exist.
After hearing the news, Zheng Wei couldn't help but burst into tears.
He is a sinner of the Zheng family.
The Zheng family was completely destroyed in his hands.
However, for them, this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!
After all, although as a super aristocratic family, the Zheng family has been eliminated.
But all members of the Zheng family can survive and live well.
At least, the Zheng family can continue to pass on the legacy.
…
So far, the entire eastern part has completely fallen into the territory of Huaxia City.
More than half of the entire Golden State is already controlled by the Golden State.
However, now, they have only taken over this territory.
It will take quite some time to master all the territory.
Now, Huaxia City faces two choices.
The first option is for them to digest and absorb the territory they have gained first.
After all the acquired territory has been digested and absorbed, the next step of expansion can be carried out.
The second option is to take over the entire Golden State in one go.
Then, proceed to complete digestion.
The first choice is the safest choice.
So far, their military strength is just enough.
But if we have to go on another expedition, we will inevitably have some difficulties.
The second option involves certain risks.
An army of at least 200,000 would be needed to go out on an expedition.
Because they don't just want to win one city after another.
After capturing a city, soldiers must be left to garrison it and officials must be sent to manage it.
Without an army of 200,000, there simply would not be enough manpower.
But now, Huaxia City even has a serious shortage of management personnel.
In fact, until now, there is still a serious shortage of management personnel in each of their cities.
After all, Huaxia City was established only a short time ago, even though there are schools.
However, management talents cannot be cultivated in a short time.
Faced with this situation, Li Min also fell into deep thought.
For a moment, Li Min couldn't decide what choice to make.
However, Li Min still prefers the second option.
It’s not too late to capture the remaining territory in one go and then slowly absorb and digest it.
After all, apart from the Family Alliance, they basically have no strong enemies from the outside.
The Tang Dynasty is a country of brothers.
The Great Food Empire was restrained by the Tang Dynasty.
The Eastern Roman Empire, as well as those countries in Europe, are currently in the darkest period of the Middle Ages.
They simply do not have the ability or capital to expand externally.
In the absence of foreign enemies, Li Min was not afraid of civil strife in Golden State.
Now, although their military strength is insufficient, they have elite soldiers and will not cause chaos.
However, Li Min soon received a new piece of information.
The strength of the Family Alliance in the entire northern region is shrinking their territory.
At the same time, they are rapidly cutting off the circuit.
Not only did they cut off all the main roads, but they also cut off the way to attack from the sea.
Now, they're not just cutting off roads.
We are still digging deeply and vertically.
It has even developed towards a narrow lake.
In this case, even if Huaxia City sends a large number of modern machinery to fill the soil, it will still take a lot of time.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Li Min decided to give up the second option.
The Family Alliance must have other back-up players.
Now, their rear is unstable.
If the Aristocratic Family Alliance is pushed into a hurry, they might even resort to some desperate means.
If that's the case, then let's digest and absorb their existing territory first.
Now, Li Ming is not afraid of delaying time at all.
Every day that time is delayed, Huaxia City's strength will increase by one point.
As for the Family Alliance, they are now busy digging holes...
…
After working hard for more than a month, Li Min was finally able to take some time off and have a nice and peaceful sleep.
Well, okay, it took less than two months to capture the south and east.
This kind of speed cannot be said to be unprecedented, but it must be unprecedented.
This time, Li Min can also spend time with his family at home.
On the second day, Li Min led hundreds of officials to celebrate the victory of the soldiers who went on the expedition.
Of course, Huaxia City has more than 300,000 soldiers so far.
It is not realistic for everyone to show up, and there is not such a big venue that can accommodate so many people.
To be continued...
