For Claude, time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the 592nd year of the Holy Light Calendar. More than half a year passed like this. Claude has been staying in the Tiersim Direct Territory.
At Kaupicius Port, I watched the offshore transport ships loaded with Nikancha people heading north one after another.
"Zhakarason, how many Nikancha settlements are there in the three direct territories that are unwilling to move?" Claude asked, looking at the bustling Nikancha settlement in the outer city in the distance.
Standing next to Claude, old man Zach Karassen was now dressed like a decent gentleman. He no longer had the sleazy and cunning feeling at the beginning. He took out a document from the folder, looked through it and then answered: "General
, there are about one million Nikancha people in the three direct-administered territories who are unwilling to move north. They are all Nikancha settlements living on the borders of the direct-administered territories. The land they occupy can be said to be relatively good, and the products are rich and sufficient for maintenance.
Their good life...
According to my investigation, the main reason why they are unwilling to move is that their settlement is the largest here, and if they move to the Nikancha country, they will become vassals of other settlements. Therefore, these settlements are unwilling to move.
The chiefs and elders are the most determined opponents, but it is the ordinary Nikancha people who hope to move to their own country."
Claude nodded. It was beyond his expectation that two million Kancha people voluntarily moved north. In the past five months, nearly one million people have moved north using offshore transport ships.
The Nikancha people are all small settlements living near towns and making a living by working. They are the most willing to migrate.
Due to the interruption of ocean trade with the kingdom, the livelihood of these Nikancha people who relied on the towns to make a living was difficult. Therefore, the envoys of the Nikancha country encouraged them to establish their own country and hoped that they could move there and
Guaranteed to allocate territory to each of their settlements, these small settlements immediately packed up and prepared to go north with these envoys.
The second group of people who are willing to relocate are the Nikancha settlements in the wild whose territory is not very good. They do not mind becoming vassals of the larger settlements. As long as their territory can be guaranteed not to be invaded by other settlements, they are satisfied. They are under direct jurisdiction
Life in the territory is not very good. They are often raided by local defense forces, and there are often conflicts between the two Nikancha settlements over the distribution of prey or fishing rivers...
Finally, there are the Nikancha settlements that old man Zakkarasen said are unwilling to move. The characteristic of these settlements is that they are far away from the center of the direct-administered territories. Most of them live in the border areas. This border area does not refer to the boundary between the two direct-administered territories.
, but the boundary between the direct territory and the inland. For example, the inland boundary of the Tiersim direct territory is bounded by the Obenmuk Mountains, and the settlements of these Nikancha people live at the foot of the mountains.
In the past, the last thing the local garrison armed forces of the three direct jurisdictions wanted to do was to attack the Nikancha settlements living on the border. It took them three or four days to rush there. As a result, all the Nikancha settlements that heard the news had already
They fled into the mountains. The time-consuming and labor-intensive local defense force was only in vain. Over time, these Nikancha settlements began to grow.
The number of Nikancha settlements close to the center of the direct-administered territory basically does not exceed 5,000. The local environment and harassment by local garrison forces have restricted their development. However, the largest of these Nikancha settlements living on the border have one
There are more than 10,000 people, plus four or five vassal settlements, the total number of people can reach 30,000 to 40,000, and the young and strong force they pull out is about 5,000. Therefore, their leaders and elders are very satisfied with their current life and are not willing to move to the north.
The Nikancha nation became a vassal of other large settlements and lost the power it held.
The old man Zakkarasen was very capable. Claude asked him to take care of the special envoys from the Nikancha country. He was very satisfied with the special envoys he served. By the way, he followed these special envoys all over the world within half a year.
All the Nikancha settlements in the three directly-administered territories secretly found out the location, number of people, and products of each settlement.
When these envoys failed to persuade the leaders and elders of the Nikancha settlements to move north, he also hinted that the envoys could use the local force of the direct jurisdiction to forcibly move the Nikancha people in those settlements, and only needed to pay a small reward.
If a few clear-headed special envoys had not resolutely stopped them, perhaps most of the members of the special envoys who were angry at being rejected would agree to the old man's suggestion...
However, even if there is no agreement, Claude will still use force to expel them. He is not willing to let the Nikancha settlements still exist in these three jurisdictions. For the war zone, these are unsettling factors and must be thoroughly eliminated.
At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the regulations on the control of the Nikancha people formulated in the war zone can be implemented smoothly in these three directly governed territories. Only in this way can these three directly governed territories truly become the territory of the Kingdom's immigrants.
It's just that Claude currently doesn't have enough troops on hand. A direct-administered territory only arranges a light cavalry field regiment. In addition to the troops stationed in various towns, most of the troops are devoted to escorting and monitoring the Nikancha people heading to Tiersim.
On the way to Kaubicius Port. Although the Nikancha people have been transported northwards for three or four months, the Nikancha settlements in the three directly governed territories that are willing to move are still gathering in Kaubicius.
The arrival from Hong Kong brought great mental pressure to Claude and General Scree.
All Claude was thinking about was public security, maintaining order, ensuring that the more than one million Nikancha people gathered in the outer city of Corbichus Port did not cause trouble or riots, and waited for the return of the transport ship. And General Skerry was responsible for
It is to provide the more than one million Nikancha people with food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is an agreement reached in advance with the special envoys of the Nikancha country. After all, they paid hundreds of millions of dollars to the war zone for the three million Nikancha people who migrated north.
Thousands of mineral resources and gold and silver reserves...
In February of the 592nd year of the Holy Light Calendar, General Beach Kerin finally arrived at the Port of Corbichus with six local garrison regiments and a main field regiment of the Rock Legion. The main reason why it took so long was
After returning to Lanhu Town, General Bolognik and General Beachlin first transferred the veterans of the Rock Army to the establishment of local garrison forces, and organized and trained twelve local garrison regiments. Then they transferred the veterans from Cromwell and White to the local garrison force.
The two direct territories of Ghana recruited more than 50,000 new soldiers and completed the training of new recruits of the Rock Legion. Now that they had a certain combat effectiveness, they rushed to the direct territory of Tilsim.
There are six local garrison regiments, all of which are veterans of the Rock Legion. A direct-administered territory can deploy two regiments of troops. One of the local garrison regiments is deployed in the capital of the direct-administered territory, and the remaining local garrison regiment is split up to
A battalion of troops is stationed in a town in a territory directly under the Central Government. In this way, together with the troops directly under the regiment headquarters, it can be stationed in five important towns in the territory directly under the Central Government, which can basically maintain the security and order of a territory directly under the Central Government.
The direct jurisdiction of Tiersim needs to garrison two regiments of troops. A local garrison regiment is responsible for the garrison tasks of the inner city and the outer city. The newly formed and trained main field regiment of the Rock Legion needs to garrison the dock area to deal with the situation.
Threats from the sea.
However, with so many troops on hand, Claude was not in a hurry to send the local garrison regiments to their respective garrison areas, but was preparing to forcefully relocate the Nikancha settlements living in the inland border areas.
, Claude calls it "Operation Purification."
The whole operation was nothing to praise. It was nothing more than the rapid advance of the three light cavalry field regiments of the Thunder Legion. They took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Nikancha settlement to set up a warning and defensive front between the Obanmuk Mountains and blocked the attack.
The retreat route for those Nikancha settlements to escape to the mountains was blocked. Then Generals Claude and Bichklin led the three local garrison regiments and the main field regiment of the Rock Army to attack from the front, attacking the three directly governed areas from north to east.
All the Nikancha settlements within the territory were cleaned up.
"Operation Purification" inevitably resulted in bloody violence. More than a dozen Nikancha settlements rose up to resist. However, in front of the muskets, their young and strong force became a turkey on the shooting range. Although the chickens flew away
The dog jumped, but it could only cause very slight casualties to the attackers. However, these brave Nikancha people, who were young and strong, wielding spears, daggers, and hunting bows, were shot to death in rows on the battlefield defending their homeland...
...
There were also settlements of Nikancha people who evacuated to the Obenmuk Mountains, but all of them fell into the ambush and encirclement of the Thunder Legion. Perhaps a few young and strong among them could escape from the encirclement and escape into the mountains, but their family members and relatives escaped.
No, most of these Nikancha settlements were escorted back obediently after discovering that the road was impassable. The few who wanted to resist were soon brutally suppressed by the Thunder Legion.
The leaders and elders of all the rebellious Nikancha settlements were hanged under the big trees. After clearing the supplies, their settlements were set on fire and burned to ashes under Claude's order. Almost all the Nikanchas were
Weeping and crying, they carried big and small bags, their simple and sparse belongings on their backs, and their children in their arms as they embarked on the journey to the port of Corpicus...
"I think your treatment of these Nikancha people is a bit too much. After all, this is their homeland where their ancestors have lived here for generations." Bichklin looked at the forcibly relocated Nikancha people and said with some unbearability: "What if
If they don't want to move, it's not a big deal to let them stay here. The direct jurisdiction is so large that it can accommodate these Nikancha people to survive. I think it doesn't matter as long as they abide by our laws and implemented policies.
"
Claude sighed and shook his head: "I don't think so, and I don't want to give such an order, but in order to avoid causing trouble to our descendants, I can only do this, even if my hands are bloody, I don't care
.Do you know why I call this forced migration a purification operation? Because I want to leave a clean direct territory for our kingdom immigrants.
The times are progressing, and the development of society will become more and more civilized. We are still in a time of great strife, and muskets and artillery represent our truth. The direct jurisdiction is our colony, not our kingdom itself. The land here is indeed
It was indeed us who snatched it from the hands of the indigenous Nikancha and Etat people of the Nubisian continent with our muskets and artillery.
If another hundred years pass, the Nikancha people in the direct jurisdiction have developed to a level of civilization similar to that of the immigrants from our kingdom. We have put down our muskets and artillery and begun to try to use the law to resolve the dispute between us and the Nikancha people.
controversy. So now that we allow these Nikancha people to stay in the direct territory, we are causing the greatest trouble to our descendants of immigrants a hundred years from now.
Because these descendants of the Nikancha people will use this as an excuse to inherit the land from their ancestors, and ask the descendants of the immigrants from the Kingdom to either return the land to them or provide them with more aid and subsidies, so that they can enjoy it with peace of mind from now on.
Living like a charterer. The one million Nikancha people left now may have several million in a hundred years. I don’t want the descendants of the immigrants from the kingdom to support these millions of charterers, or should I expel them?
Clean..."
General Buechlin looked a little stunned. He seemed to want to reach out and touch Claude's forehead to see if Claude had a fever and why he was talking nonsense.
"I don't believe the nonsense you said. It's impossible for something like you to happen in a hundred years. The direct jurisdiction will always be our war zone and the kingdom's direct jurisdiction. I don't believe that these stupid and lazy Nikancha people will develop into
Just like the immigrants from our kingdom, if they want to take back their land, they have to ask whether the muskets in the hands of our immigrants' descendants will agree."
General Bechklin retorted: "Of course, in any case, the forced relocation of these Nikancha settlements is always a good thing for the municipality. At least those urban residents will be safer in the wild. Maybe we can still
If we move some more immigrants from the Kingdom mainland, these three direct territories still have a lot of land to accommodate more immigrants from the Kingdom."
Claude could only crack his mouth and say no more. He knew that with General Bichiklin's knowledge, it was impossible to imagine how far human civilization would develop in a hundred years or hundreds of years.
This world is just like the modern history of previous generations, except that certain knowledge is monopolized by high-level officials and the development of this civilization is stagnated in the age of guns. But no matter what, the wheels of history are always rolling forward, no matter how slow the speed is.
In motion.
Just like the Western colonists in the previous Age of Discovery could never imagine that their descendants would evolve into virgin bitches, the targets they burned, killed, and plundered would actually become the objects that their descendants would willingly kneel down and lick, and they even called them euphemistically.
They are atoning for the crimes committed by their ancestors, causing those who were discriminated against to discriminate against other races.
Claude is not a racist, nor is he an opponent of humanitarianism. He is just well-informed and would rather cause trouble now than leave greater trouble for future generations. After all, he moved these Nikancha people
It is more merciful to go out than to use force to eliminate the existence of these Nikancha people. Without the Nikancha people, after a hundred years, these three direct territories will truly become the land owned by the descendants of immigrants from the kingdom.
"By the way, are we going to implement the regulations on the control of the Nikancha people in these three directly-administered territories?" General Bichklin remembered something, turned his head on his mount and asked.
The regulations for the control of the Nikancha people are that the Nikancha people are no longer allowed to live in settlements in the directly-administered territories. In addition, the residents of the kingdom who hire the Nikancha people must give guarantees to the Nikancha people they hire.
The head tax for the Nikancha people employed was one riaso per person, which was ten times higher than the head tax for the residents of the kingdom.
In addition, the labor agreement reached between the residents of the Kingdom and the Nikancha people needs to be supervised by the administrative department, and a deposit needs to be paid to the competent department. After the labor service is completed, the competent department will send someone to review it. After the review is passed, the residents of the Kingdom must pay all the labor remuneration, and
No hair will be withheld or reduced for any reason.
All in all, it is to cause trouble for the residents of the kingdom who hire Nikancha people and make them give up their plan to hire Nikancha people. This is for the purpose of reducing the number of Nikancha people staying in the direct jurisdiction. After all, the three direct jurisdictions have
The residents of the kingdom are very strange. They enjoy the treatment of big bosses here. They are obviously civilians, but they hire Nikancha people to work for them to make money.
They drove these Nikancha people to work as cattle and horses. For example, the farm owners hired a large number of Nikancha people to work in the fields during busy farming hours. They and their relatives wielded whips as supervisors. When the work was done, they often tore them up.
The labor agreement only paid half or less of the wages to the Nikancha people on the grounds that the Nikancha people did not work well or needed compensation for damage to their farm tools. This was also the main reason why the Nikancha people often caused riots.
Claude nodded, and General Beach Kerin smiled and said: "I guarantee that the regulations on the control of the Nikancha people can be implemented smoothly in these three jurisdictions, but if the Amphiston jurisdiction wants to implement this control regulations, you
We have to discuss it carefully with the people from the mining and business association, they are firmly opposed to the implementation of this regulation..."
