Chapter 0718 twenty years of war(1/2)
517, February 2, night.
Mei Daizi wrote a letter overnight and asked the letter birds to carry it to all directions. In fact, Mei Daizi already knew about the matter, but she could only pretend not to know and wait for notification.
Now that there is a food subsidy from the Beramya Tribal Kingdom, the food gap of the Gron Kingdom should be able to be filled.
Now the most important thing is to go to the Belemya Tribal Kingdom to occupy the unattended farmland and transport the grain stored in the Belemya Tribal Kingdom to various places.
The fastest way is to fight, occupy the neighboring country, and move part of the population there...
February 3rd.
Early in the morning, the 10th Crossbow Cavalry Legion of the Gron family, the 3rd and 4th Gothic Heavy Armored Legion, and the 3rd Engineer Legion led the Eastern Roman Legion with three heavy armored legions, six light cavalry legions, and six miscellaneous mercenaries.
, six former slave legions, and twenty-five legions went to the Belemya tribal kingdom one after another.
On the other side, the Silesian region.
The seventeen legions of the Gron Army defeated more than a dozen local legions of the Eastern Roman Army, wiping out the local strength of the Eastern Roman Army...
February 4th.
In the morning, a messenger bird went to the Silesian region and brought back a letter about military progress and a letter from the Sassanid Persian Empire demarcating the borders.
With a stroke of her pen, Medeizi removed the currently occupied Herodian, Nabataean, and Silesian regions, as well as the Isaurian region, Anatolia, and Armenia.
Those places are all high mountains and are not suitable for cavalry. As for infantry, the Kingdom of Gelong is not good enough.
However, Meidaizi also asked for trade deals and the need to release the families of the captives from the Gron Kingdom.
As for your own troops, tell them to temporarily station themselves in various places to cultivate garrison troops, so that they can change their defenses after the harvest season...
On February 7, the reply from the Sassanid Persian Dynasty arrived. The Sasanian Persian Dynasty agreed to the request of the Gron Kingdom and attached a three-year alliance letter.
Mei Daizi agreed. It is no wonder that Dongfang has been stable for three years, which is not bad...
On February 10, the twenty-five legions that moved south advanced all the way and completed the capture of the Nopasha Kingdom, the Makuria Kingdom, and the Alodia Tribal Kingdom in the upper reaches of the Nile River.
At the same time, a huge caravan rushed to the Belamya Tribal Kingdom, taking in the population of the three surrounding countries, organizing manpower to take care of the fields, hunting animals, and carrying food back to various places...
On February 12, the Army going south brought together the captive legions from the three kingdoms, gathered fifty legions, defeated the thirty legions they mobilized on the border of the Kingdom of Axum, and entered the Kingdom of Aksum.
At the end of February, the army marching south captured the Horn of East Africa, completed its occupation of northeastern Africa, and rested...
In March, with the support of the Sasanian Persian Dynasty, the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and the Visigothic Kingdom, and with the support of food from northeastern Africa, the Gron Kingdom successfully overcame the food crisis and entered a period of comprehensive rest.
Meidaizi decided to return to Dorseo City and officially announced the death of Yamazaki.
At the same time, the first capital of the Kingdom of Geron was built at the place where the God of War descended, and the Palace of the God of War was built as a symbol.
In addition, the second capital was set at Paliusiaim Fortress, and King Gron's Palace was built as a symbol.
Of course, Yamazaki was enshrined inside, and Meidaizi snickered and calculated that Yamazaki was only five years old when he died, and she should have reached adulthood.
When the time comes, first set up a seated statue of Yamazaki, and then she should be able to put her hands on Yamazaki's head while standing next to him.
When I see Yamazaki when he comes back, his expression will be very interesting...
The road was difficult to travel, and it took half a month for Mei Daizi to return to Dorseo City, which made Mei Daizi curse the God of Roads.
When the slave leader Siva heard the news of Yamazaki's death, she cried and fainted. This moved Mei Daizi very much, but he did not tell her that Yamazaki was actually alive in another way.
Leave the mess behind and go sightseeing in the universe...
hell.
"Ah sneeze!"
Yamazaki's soul sneezed, and he could guess with his toes that it was Meidaizi who was speaking ill of him.
A fragrant body hugged Yamazaki and kept Yamazaki away from the cold.
After Yamazaki continued to receive faith, Cronus immediately improved Yamazaki's treatment and gave Yamazaki an underage virgin, Antaya, to take care of Yamazaki.
Antaya is the descendant of the Titans and the forty-nine daughters of Danaus. Yamazaki felt that she had nothing wrong with her through physical contact, such as multiple arms, wings, horns, tails, scales, etc.
, is a human god.
The forty-nine daughters of Danaus were punished to be watered in hell for killing their husbands, but when they reached hell, they became the toys of the Titans and their descendants.
They gave birth to many children, and when the children grew up, they also joined in breeding.
Over thousands of years of reproduction from generation to generation, there have been many demigods and human gods in hell, as well as many monsters.
As for who is whose husband, whose wife, and whose child, they themselves have no idea at all, because the relationship is so confusing.
There is no light in hell, so you can't see clearly. Even the Titans and even Cronus can't see clearly. They can only see a blurry figure.
Anyway, Titan is not taboo and is quite open in this regard.
Here, Yamazaki can always hear the sound of reproduction everywhere, except for some special times, such as when new people enter hell, they will not stop.
In the last life, the Titans brought a group of descendants to attack the divine realm. There were many more than now. After all, they had more than a thousand years of reproduction...
April, Dorseo City.
Under the supervision of Mei Daizi and watched by people from other cities, elections were held in the city, and the next round of ruling figures and a series of officials were successfully elected.
At the same time, officials from various ministries also came out one by one after passing various assessments.
Among these people, only those with assets of less than ten gold coins can receive a salary, while those with assets of more than ten gold coins cannot receive a salary.
The tax declaration started after that. Hundreds of people declared their assets. Based on their assets and their annual income, taxes were collected in proportion and handed over to the financial department.
At the same time, many people donated to the financial department to prevent their assets from exceeding ten gold coins. Many of them were warriors, and their loot alone exceeded ten gold coins.
Regarding the issue raised by businessmen about tax restrictions on the size of chambers of commerce, Mei Daizi came up with an idea, which was a joint-stock system.
In order to ensure the safety of investment, those whose assets are less than ten gold coins can only contribute half of their assets at most.
One person is worth five gold coins, and ten thousand people are worth half a million gold coins. This is definitely a giant chamber of commerce.
Whoever manages the Chamber of Commerce is also elected by shareholders, with one vote per gold coin.
If you have the ability, just find a balance.
For example, if you take 20% of a thousand gold coin merchant association, which is 200 gold coins, then the chamber of commerce will earn 10%, which is also 100 gold coins. After dividing 80%, you will make a profit of 20 gold coins.
Compared with two hundred gold coins, you may only get 50%, which is ten gold coins.
After paying taxes, the former is still more.
In short, the Gelon Kingdom does not support anyone becoming a big rich man, at most it is only a small rich man.
In addition, Mei Daizi asked the financial department to invite bids for road construction and the construction of the Palace of the God of War, and discuss with businessmen to establish a standard contract model.
Establish road standards, such as roads that can withstand a carriage full of heavily armored troops and eight horses that can pass at the same time.
Construction standards, such as adhesive ratios, etc.…
While dealing with government affairs, Mei Daizi also did not forget military affairs.
The twenty-five legions in East Africa were disbanded, and the four legions of the Gron family, the tenth crossbow cavalry regiment of the Gron family, the third and fourth Gothic heavy armored regiments, and the third engineer regiment continued to garrison and supervise the construction of roads.
Soldiers from the former Eastern Roman Kingdom area, now the Gron Kingdom area, can go home.
Warriors from the non-Gron Kingdom region, as well as six motley mercenaries, returned with the loot, elephants and rhinos, delivered the loot in the Aegyptos region, and then sailed to the Silesia region to meet their families or return home.
.
The Gelon Army has begun a new round of reorganization. Since there is enough food, there is no need to fight for food, so the soldiers in the Gelon Kingdom who do not want to fight can go back to farming.
At the same time, in order to prevent soldiers from regretting it, new soldiers must sign a contract for one year, three years and five years. The signing is voluntary, but withdrawal must be completed before the time is up. At that time, you can quit if you don't want to do it.
As for the Gron family's army, the captives in Antioch have organized ten more fully equipped legions, and they will go south to Africa...
In October, after a new round of grain harvest and planting, the Kingdom of Gelong was temporarily free of food difficulties and had more than three months of surplus grain.
Weapons and equipment are in place and the troops have been reorganized.
In addition to alloy crossbows, there are forty first-level legions equipped with alloy products, serving as the main force in combat; forty second-level legions equipped with steel armor weapons, serving as the main force for suppressing enemy areas; and ten navy legions equipped with aluminum alloy products,
As the main force of maritime transportation, there are twenty patrol transport corps equipped with steel products of relatively poor quality, which serve as the main force of land logistics.
In addition, there are a large number of inferior steel products of this era scattered in various city-states, and more than fifty legions can be formed at any time for defense.
A new round of expansion began. Seventeen legions from the east coast of the Mediterranean went to the peninsula, and fourteen legions from East Africa returned to West Africa. Together with the nine newly built legions in West Africa, they were ready to go.
Stop trading with the Visigothic Kingdom and declare war.
At this time, the Visigothic Kingdom had already destroyed the Suebi Kingdom and Vasconia Kingdom behind it, unified the Iberian Peninsula, and captured the vast area north of the Alps.
Occupied the Kingdom of Merovingian, Kingdom of Armonica, Kingdom of Neustria, Kingdom of Cornoyers, Saxon Tribal Kingdom, Kingdom of Burgundy and other countries, and formed an alliance with the remaining armies of the Kingdom of Burgundy and other countries.
Tangled in the Alps.
The Ostrogothic Kingdom pushed all the way to the east of the Alps, expanding its sphere of influence to the Black Sea and reaching the Caspian Sea.
Intertwined with the Gepit Kingdom, the Slavic tribal kingdom, the Veneti tribe, and the Avar tribe, they are entangled in the grasslands north of the Black Sea...
After the declaration of war, it was time to build a pontoon bridge.
The pontoon bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar had been built long before Yamazaki died, and Meidaizi asked them to continue building more in order to lure the enemy.
Knowing that it was a bait, the naval forces of the Visigothic Kingdom and the Moorish-Roman Kingdom had to come, and as long as they came to destroy the pontoon, they would be attacked by oil tanks.
To be continued...
