Commander Zhu's words almost made some soldiers fall off their horses. I originally thought that Commander Zhu felt a little pity when he saw this place. Unexpectedly, the pity was not that so many people died, but that such a large area of land was so deserted. , the most lacking thing in Dongdi Kingdom now is food, and our Daqian Empire does not have excess food. If we want the people here to survive, we can only count on them to save themselves.
Although according to the provisions of the treaty, the suppressing army should provide a large amount of food, Gao Shaoyi did not want to do so. Gao Shaoyi has already issued an order to the people below. We must provide them with 400,000 tons of food in accordance with the provisions of the treaty. Food, but the treaty does not stipulate how we should give it to them, so we must give it to them in small amounts and many times, so that some of them can have their stomachs full, but more people still cannot. In this way, More people will come and surrender, and then we can filter out some of them who are capable.
The Daqian Empire is undergoing industrialization, which has lagged behind the world for decades. After this industrialization, the Daqian Empire can also transform from a backward agricultural country into a primary industrial country, but the Dongdi Kingdom has already fully developed After two industrial revolutions, the number of workers in various industries in the country is very large. Although there is a certain gap with the world, if we absorb them all, it will not be a bad thing for our empire, at least in the world. In the process of industrialization, these people can play a very outstanding role for us.
So in this case, how could the Suppression Army provide so much food? It can only be provided in small amounts and many times, so that the number of hungry people inside them will increase, and then they will want to rule by the Suppression Army. As long as you want to come in, you must show your ability. We will never allow you to come in if you have no ability. Only when you have the ability, we will selectively absorb you.
To put it bluntly, we are like vampires, taking over all the development essence of Dongdi Country since the first half of the year. We do need hardware facilities, but the software must also keep up. These industrial workers are the most valuable software. If If we let them go, the results of our struggle here will be reduced by half. Of course, the Dongdi government can't care about them now. Even though it knows that these people play a very important role, the entire country is on the edge of the cliff now. How can you spare the time to take care of them?
From the time this idea was proposed to now, specific steps have been implemented. Screening departments have been set up in many places around the Zhenlu Army Barracks. The main responsibility of the screening department is also to verify the abilities of these technical workers. When you come here When you sign up, we have already graded your card. If you want to make a living, we can only send you to mine.
Zhu Tianyou admires the above decision very much. It has almost wiped out the entire country. Even if there are other ideas within the Dongdi Kingdom, without these capable people, they will not be able to do it. When ideas are put into practice, in the end they can only exist in their heads. No matter how you fantasize, in the end you are just a protectorate. This is the result Gao Shaoyi wants.
"Sir, we have arrived at the agreed upon location, but there is no one of them around. Have we been tricked?"
One of his communications soldiers has looked around, and apart from these refugees, he has not seen any official personnel from the Dongdi Kingdom. According to the treaty, the two sides should start consultations here at two o'clock this afternoon, and then in
The handover will be completed within a week. The people of Dongdi Kingdom will continue to retreat, because this is still in the coastal area, and the people of the Suppression Army will occupy this area. However, the official personnel of Dongdi Kingdom have not arrived at this moment. Have they already gone back on their words?
Yet?
"Send out scouts and search the area within fifty kilometers to see what's going on. In addition, continue to send them telegrams. If we don't receive the telegram here, then send it directly to
On the Emperor's side, I don't believe that they don't have a way to communicate internally. There is no such store after passing this village. If today's handover cannot be completed, then I will directly send troops to fight."
Zhu Tianyou beat his waist. To be honest, riding a horse is really not as comfortable as riding a car. At least he doesn't need to concentrate on pulling the reins. The driver can just drive.
Following the commander's order, dozens of investigators quickly spread to the periphery to see if they were looking for the wrong place. After all, the landmark buildings here had been washed away. Although the floods under their feet had receded, there were still people everywhere.
It is a piece of mud, and even if you want to find some dry places, it is not easy. Therefore, in this case, it is normal to not be able to find a specific negotiation location. After all, there is no reference point.
Unless there is drone aerial reconnaissance in this era, but except for Gao Shaoyi, I am afraid that no one else even has such a concept.
After about an hour, they finally found the official personnel of Dongdi Kingdom. It was not that they wanted to cause trouble, but they could not determine the specific location. When they entered the flooded area, there was mud everywhere.
Moreover, many landmark buildings were washed away, so they were unable to determine their location, so they were late. If they had not discovered the scouts of the Suppression Army, they would have been groping here for a long time.
It turned out that he was an official in the Crown Prince's Mansion, and he was also the closest person to the Crown Prince.
When these people came to Commander Zhu's side, they couldn't control their eyes immediately. They started to look around, just to see if the grain had been brought over. Seeing that each of them looked sallow and thin, Zhu Tianyou just
I understand what's going on. Even though these guys are the prince's favorites, after such a long time, they can no longer hold on to food.
"Don't look at anything else. Before the handover of the territory is completed, we can't give you much food. This is what the two parties agreed on in the agreement. If you want to get the food one day earlier, then I hope your
You can move faster."
Zhu Tianyou's words are very clear. We haven't eaten our cake yet, and you just want to have a full meal. Is it such a good thing? This chapter has been completed!
