Chapter 65: A large number of acts of annihilation
In the sixth year of Dragon Soul, Li Feng suspended all external expansion and resource occupation activities, built solid fortresses on the border, repaired relations with several surrounding countries, and stabilized the external environment.
Internally, we continued to promote agricultural reform, reduce corvee labor, improve agricultural tools, reward fertility, mine coal mines, promote industrial and commercial development, and adopt a series of policies to attract people from other countries to flow into the Kingdom of Tuya.
Li Feng even sent out the Pin Xixi thieves group to secretly abduct people from other countries.
What? You are angry, you are dissatisfied?
In response to questions about human abduction from several neighboring countries, Li Feng decisively acted like a hooligan and said that it was all the fault of the Pinxixi thieves group. What does it have to do with our Tuya Kingdom?
If you can't reach an agreement, then let's fight.
In the seventh year of Dragon Soul, the four neighboring kingdoms of Warwick, Hills, Ironcastle, and Modria unilaterally tore up their contracts and united to invade the Kingdom of Tuya from four directions.
Li Feng still wasn't used to them.
The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th legions were sent to deal with them respectively. The 40,000 troops assembled from the four countries' wealth were wiped out. The new king of the Iron Castle Kingdom was killed again, and King Warwick was killed by Ori.
Si was chased and chopped into eight pieces, and all the three accompanying princes were captured, as were the kings of the Hilly Kingdom and Modria.
When the news of the defeat spread back to the country, the four kingdoms urgently sued for peace, ceded territory and paid compensation, sent the most beautiful princess of the royal family to marry, and signed a series of treaties that humiliated the country and voluntarily became a vassal. Only then did Li Feng order the four major legions to return to the court.
This war shocked dozens of kingdoms and became famous throughout the continent. The huge war compensation once again accelerated Li Feng's development progress, and the land compensation also allowed Li Feng to relieve the pressure on some already overcrowded cities.
Three years later.
Due to the mass production of muskets and artillery, domestic sulfur and saltpeter resources are over-exploited, and the resources of neighboring countries rely solely on trade and are not supplied in a timely manner, especially the copper required for the production of ammunition, which is scarce in the Kingdom of Tuya and its four neighboring countries.
what to do?
It doesn't matter, the King of Copper Mountain, which is adjacent to the Hill Kingdom, has a lot of copper, the Newland Empire, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Warwick, has a lot of saltpeter, and the Kingdom of Modria happens to have two craters, which produce a lot of sulfur.
.
Which one to take action first?
Li Feng randomly threw a chess piece and it landed on the map, which happened to be the location of the Tongshan Kingdom.
It's just you.
Li Feng informed the Tongshan Kingdom: "I have fallen in love with your queen and princess. Please bring them together. The dowry should be generous. Well, your country has several large copper mines that are good, suitable for dowry, and...
....”
The King of Tongshan was furious and had a tough attitude: "If I don't give it, I won't give you anything. You robber, take what you want from my body if you can."
Look, I talked to him with good intentions and wanted to establish a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship, but he turned against me. You can't blame me for this.
Li Feng waved his pen and said: "I'll help you."
A few days later, the envoy set out and met the new king of the Hilly Kingdom, Olivera, and got straight to the point: "Your Highness Olivera, my Emperor wants you to let us go and kill the arrogant King of Tongshan."
"You guys...Okay, I'll give way, I'll give way." Oliver gritted his teeth and agreed to this request.
Li Feng immediately sent the Fourth Legion, which had 100,000 people and 90% of its firearms configuration, into the Hilly Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, when passing through a canyon, he was ambushed by the army of the Hill Country. Surrounded by cliffs, there were logs, rolling stones, artillery and crossbows flying. Oliver showed a proud smile.
"Hahaha, Shikron, you stupid man, do you think I will be fooled by you? Stop dreaming, I will destroy you with the Copper Mountain Kingdom."
"Really? Oliver, you are happy too early." Faced with the ambush, Oris did not panic. He came to the front of the army and fired the cannonball himself. The blast of the cannon broke Oliver's liver and gallbladder.
At this time, gunshots were heard from behind, and his own ambush army was in chaos.
Oris himself led the light cavalry and went straight to Olifa.
"Run, run quickly."
Seeing Oris getting closer, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and led his cronies to escape.
That was a god of death, and he had already seen his reputation when he was a prince. If Oris hadn't killed two kings of the Hill Kingdom, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position.
Unfortunately, he was destined to fail to escape the clutches of Oris.
Today's scene was originally the result of Oris's trickery. His affair with those in the Copper Mountain Kingdom could not escape the eyes of the dark guards and Dark Rose.
After killing Oliver, Li Feng immediately sent the first legion to march from the other direction, marching together with Oris, and incorporated the Hilly Kingdom into the territory of the Tuya Kingdom, and the royal family moved to the city of Milan.
His Majesty said that he would first select the princess and princess of the Hilly Kingdom.
After destroying the Hill Kingdom, Oris worked non-stop, commanding 100,000 troops, and marched into the Tongshan Kingdom with lightning speed. He destroyed the main force of the Tongshan Kingdom in one battle. In just two years, Tongshan, which had 47 counties, was conquered.
The kingdom is in control.
The following year, the Second and Third Legions entered the Kingdom of Modria on the grounds that they disrespected the gods of heaven and earth and the king was dissolute, and effortlessly captured the entire royal family, and those who dared to resist were sentenced to death.
In four years, the Three Kingdoms were destroyed, and Li Feng's snowballed since then.
With a large supply of copper and gunpowder raw materials, it took another three years for Li Feng to complete the re-equipment of the entire army, turning the 500,000-strong army into a purely firearms-based force.
I practiced with several small neighboring countries and successfully implemented dimensionality reduction strikes. I won every battle with single-digit casualties.
Unfortunately, his firearms manufacturing technology encountered a bottleneck when it came to rifled guns, and artillery stopped making progress when it came to mortars. The subsequent development is no longer something that can only be achieved by reading a few books.
Although he strictly ordered O'Neill's research institute to speed up scientific research, without the theoretical basis he provided, there was no progress, otherwise it would be easier to generalize to the entire world.
Weapon research and development has stagnated, but economically, Li Feng has made rapid progress.
With the continuous expansion of its territory, the Tuya Kingdom quickly entered the era of semi-industrial capital.
Not only is it extremely powerful militarily, but economically it has also brought traveling merchants together to form an economic community such as the Free Trade Alliance. With Sony as the first executive president, it has opened up ocean trade and its products are sold at home and abroad.
At the same time, it developed mercenary unions, built a transportation network extending in all directions, and accelerated the circulation of goods. The level of development was at least 80 years ahead of the kingdoms on the same continent and more than 150 years ahead of hundreds of kingdoms on the other side of the continent.
In the tenth year of Dragon Soul, the Tuya Kingdom's steam engines had achieved mass production. Since then, the economic aggregate of a small county was much higher than the entire economic aggregate of other countries.
