The spring breeze in March is warm and soft, like the hands of a goddess of vegetation, gently blowing across the land by the river. The green grass in spring, the clear water in spring, and the banks of the Leman River are full of vitality.

On the north bank of the Changhe River, there are dense forests. The red-feathered chickadee soars in the forest, and the white-winged mourning dove sits on the cactus. Scattered wooden forts are scattered in the mountains and forests, and Otomi militiamen are stationed among them, and farmland has been opened up under the wooden forts. In early spring, the fallow farmland grows a little green grass, and unknown wildflowers bloom in the field, attracting bright butterflies to dance.

More farmland is on the south bank of the Yangtze River. From the estuary fortress to the south, along the shore of Queteo Lake, as far as the eye can see, there are endless Milpa farmlands, revived Mintun villages, and hundreds of canoes.

The people of the lake in Prepeca are sailing on the lake. They catch fat river fish as a tribute to support the frequent drills of the Pike Corps. They collect the silt from the bottom of the lake and use it as nutrients to fertilize the village public land that will be cultivated. This is the new teaching of the priests of the village, just like the accumulated manure, it is "the vitality given by the Lord God to nourish the earth and obtain a good harvest of crops.".

Not far away, the flag of the main **** was flying high, and next to it was the king's flag of the black wolf. The estuary fortress is like a crouching monster, calmly watching the spring scenery on the river bank. This is the last leisure before spring plowing, and it is also the most peaceful time of the year. Next to the fortress in Qingshi, there are two newly built vast barracks. Thousands of Guajili fighters were practicing in the barracks, and the shouts shook the flying birds. They are undergoing basic formation and discipline training under the command of Mexica officers. When the military training was temporarily suspended, the sound of prayers sounded in the barracks, drifting away in the spring wind.

"What a delightful spring scene."

Shulot was dressed in a white robe, standing quietly on the river mouth fortress, admiring everything in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of wind in the sky! A huge golden eagle is spreading its wings and pounced down from a very high place at a speed of 40 meters per second. In just a few seconds, it rushed fiercely in front of the king, bringing awe-inspiring wind pressure and messing up the king's hair. Then, the golden eagle stopped suddenly, and stretched out its eagle claws to tear apart the tiger and wolf!

"Slap!"

A plump river fish fell from the eagle's claws and hit the king's instep accurately. Then, little Avelot was triumphant, fluttered his wings twice, and shouted proudly.

"YoYo!"

Xiulot looked down, and saw that the river fish at his feet was not completely dead, and his tail was still thumping reflexively. Then, he raised his head again and looked at the little golden eagle who had returned speechlessly.

"Avelot, why are you back?"

Little Avelot tilted his head and looked at the expression of the host. Then, it turned its round eyes, looked at the bad guys around its master, and felt very dangerous. After thinking for a while, it flopped twice on the top of the fortress, and threw itself into Shulot's arms.

"YoYo!"

Even when the grown-up golden eagle folds its wings, its body length is close to one meter. Shulot was staggered. With a wry smile, he stretched out his arms and hugged little Avelot, like hugging a huge turkey.

Behind the king, the warrior chief Bertard silently retracted his longbow, hid the copper arrows, and smiled faintly.

Shulot affectionately rubbed the "big turkey" in Hui's arms, and then stretched out his left arm as a gesture.

Little Avelot fell to the ground, jumped twice again, and jumped onto the king's left arm. It carefully retracted its sharp eagle claws, revealing its slender eagle legs. There is a small roll of cotton cloth tied tightly on it, which is the letter written by Shulot to Alyssa, telling the end of the Northern Expedition.

At the end of November, Shulot regained the Palms Valley and held a victory ceremony and a conversion ceremony. Then he left the Palamo with two thousand warriors, five thousand dog tribes, and all the Otomi serfs. At the end of November, 20,000 troops and tens of thousands of prisoners began to march south.

It is more than seven hundred miles from Palms Valley to the fortress at the mouth of the river. The dog tribes were disorganized into more than a dozen 4,000-member banner teams, and under the supervision of warriors and militiamen, batches went south one after another. Along the way, the migration of tens of thousands of people left deep traces. There were sporadic young dogs who escaped and were captured by the patrolling red monkey tribe. They were whipped, fasted and even hanged.

Tens of thousands of people walked out of the rolling mountains, walked through the long wasteland, passed the towering mountain city, and came to the mouth of the Leman River. Then, the long-awaited Royal Navy continued to guide and transport batches of dog descendants across the river and placed them in villages on the south bank. The Leman River is mighty and choppy. After crossing the great river, the dog-borns bid farewell to the wilderness completely, and there was no return date.

Returning from the Northern Expedition, Hei Lang's Wang Banner moved slowly. It wasn't until the end of December that Xiulot arrived at the mountain city of Ottopan and held a New Year's ceremony in the mountain city. The flag of the main **** is flying in the temple in the mountain city, and the Otomi priests are chanting the newly learned Ali scriptures, guiding hundreds of thousands of Otomi people to pray to the main **** together. After the main **** prayed, it was his turn to descend to the original **** of the subordinate god.

After the ceremony, Shulot summoned the Otomi nobles and priests to have a feast and party all night long. The Otomi nobles offered gifts, the priests offered poetry, and the king gave gems in return.

Then, he discussed with the old priest of Horta, Prince Giova, and Chief Chalki about the fief arrangements of the three northern states, rewarded the nobles who made contributions to the Northern Expedition, and punished the leaders who had not sent troops. Only two thousand longbow militiamen stationed there were left behind, and then they continued to march south.

The assembled Otomi Legion then disbanded in the mountain city. Under the leadership of the nobles, the Otomi warriors from various states returned to their fiefs to prepare for this year's spring plowing. And further south from the mountain city of Ottopan, it is the Monkey Kuluka's First Long Spear Corps who is in charge of receiving them.

At the end of January, Shulot finally returned to the Hekou Fortress on the south bank with the Guards and the last more than 10,000 prisoners. The king's banner of the black wolf was immediately erected in the Hekou Fortress, and six thousand imperial guards were stationed in the fortress. The king stayed here to personally inspect the placement of the dog-born tribe.

In the past few months, 60,000 dog tribes were resettled in Hekou County. The villages and farmland here are all ready-made, the rule of the kingdom has penetrated into the villages with the priests of the main god, and the river mouth fortress is even more guarded by the garrisoned legion.

In the era of Tarasco Kingdom, Hekou County had a population of more than 200,000. Then the Western Expedition began, and brutal wars were fought on this land. Refugees fled south, young adults were recruited, and the army fought until the end of the Western Expedition. The traditional aristocratic rule completely disintegrated, and the great nobles of Tarasco were wiped out. There are only about 100,000 people left in Hekou County, most of whom are women and children.

After Xiulot established a new kingdom, he focused on managing Gyeonggi and Hekou counties. In Hekou County, Mintun was set up, registered as a household of Qimin, and arranged for priests to manage it. The kingdom first migrated 20,000 forest tribes from the Valley of Mexico, and then traded 20,000 looted Dingkou from the Guamal dog descendants. This time with the addition of 60,000 dog tribes, it finally returned to the size of 200,000 people.

With the enrichment of the population, the border of Hekou County is also expanding westward, annexing a small half of Sakap State. As long as they operate patiently for two years and accumulate enough food and grass, the kingdom can move west from here and completely wipe out the Feather Prince entrenched in the Chapala Lake District.

Of course, the top priority right now is to assimilate the 60,000 Guajili tribes that have surrendered as soon as possible, spread the belief of the main god, and bring them under the rule of the kingdom stably.

You know, these are 60,000 fierce wilderness dogs, not docile Prepeca farmers. Guajili dogs have always been hunting in the wilderness, good at archery and fighting, and have experienced the baptism of war. Once they make a mess and run around, they will be able to stir up chaos in the north of the kingdom in an instant.

Therefore, Xiulot kept the king's banner at the fortress at the mouth of the river, unable to go south for a while. He personally brought the Imperial Guards to stay here, while suppressing the northern part of the kingdom, while reorganizing the various ministries of the dog descendants. Thinking of this, he stroked the feathers of the little golden eagle and looked at the loyal warrior commander.

"Bothard, have all the dog tribes going south been settled properly?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Bertard nodded quietly. Then, he glanced at Avilot lightly, and the little golden eagle shrank its neck in fright, and called "bad guy" twice with a "chirp".

"According to your instructions, the 60,000 Guajili tribes were disrupted and formed into fifteen banner teams of 4,000 people. Then, they were divided into two parts, east and west, and placed separately. Six banner teams were placed in the east, mostly The dog descendants of the Red Fox Valley, near the fief of Tebopolo. Nine flag teams have been placed in the west, all of which are dog descendants of the Palms Valley, near the mountains and forests of Sakap State."

Shulot nodded slightly. The purpose of separate placement is to avoid large-scale gatherings of canines and reduce the risk of riots. There is also a certain alienation between the eastern and western canines.

As for the design of the flag team system, it refers to the organizational form of the combination of soldiers and farmers of the hunting nation. With 400 people as a small banner, set up small banner leaders and priests. Then, ten small banners form a large banner team of 4,000 people, and also set up a large banner leader and priests to be responsible for war and agriculture respectively.

The big and small flag teams are composed of ethnic groups who have combat experience, have the same blood, or come from the same region. The banner team is a combination of soldiers and farmers, and is well-organized, which can continuously accommodate the surrendered northern tribes. Generally speaking, the establishment of the flag team system is for the distant future, for the armed colonization of the empire in the wilderness and even North America. But now, this new attempt has just begun.

"Are the newly resettled Guajili tribe satisfied with the settled land?"

"Your Highness, they were amazed at the abundance of the southern mountains and forests and the fertility of the land by the river. Ordinary tribal people praised the Mother Earth, and they were not dissatisfied. The first batch of priests of the main **** had already gone to the various banner teams to spread their beliefs and guide the upcoming The coming spring plowing."

Guajili dogs are not good at farming, but they are good at shooting and hunting, and are good at fighting. Xiulot deliberately placed the dog descendants near the mountains and forests on the east-west border, in order to maintain their martial tradition, even if it was only for one or two generations. Similarly, canine tribes who are good at fighting can also cause a certain amount of border pressure on the surrounding neighbors.

"Are the leaders obedient? Is there any cascading and rioting?"

"During the process of reorganization, some leaders of the lost tribe wanted to make trouble, but they were quickly suppressed by the red frog chief Koka and the red monkey chief Ozoma."

Bertard smiled and bowed his head in salute.

"Your Highness, your banner stays here. The Imperial Guard Corps, Gyeonggi Corps, and First Spear Corps are all stationed in Hekou County. The prestige of the 'Great Chief of Death' suppresses everything. The south bank of the river is safe and peaceful, just like the residence of the God of War." Snake Mountain."

"Not bad! Well, the Monkey's 1st Lance Corps..."

Shulot pondered for a while, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Select two thousand Guajili hunters as soon as possible to complete the monkey army."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Coca and Ozoma... ordered to regroup the red frog and red monkey army."

The king thought for a while, and decided to break up these tribal fighters once and for all.

"All tribal fighters are organized into the banner team! Then, each small banner team has 40 soldiers, each large banner team has 400 soldiers, and 15 large banner teams have 6,000 fighters, and six thousand-man battalions are organized. Divide the 6,000 people into two teams and hand them over to Coca and Ozoma respectively!"

"Your Highness..."

Bertard's expression changed. He advised cautiously.

"Isn't this a little too hasty?"

"If you don't break, you can't stand! If you don't destroy the dilapidated wooden buildings, you can't build a brand new stone house. The 60,000 Guajili tribe were defeated and captured, and moved to the south. Now they have just settled down. This is the best opportunity!"

Xiulot had murderous intent in his eyes, and his tone was firm.

"Let Olosh's Gyeonggi Legion stay for another two months until the spring plowing in May. Three kingdom legions, 20,000 elite warriors are stationed here, and the Guakili tribe can't make any waves. Well, pass the order and let Keka Come see me tonight with Ozoma for dinner!"

"Follow your will, Your Highness."

Berthard respectfully should be.

Next, Shulot stroked the feathers of the little golden eagle and did not speak for a long time. It wasn't until Avilot stretched out his head curiously and pecked at the wood-like master that Shulot came back to his senses.

"Bothard, when the 8,000 men are drawn, the 60,000 Guaquili tribe will have no ability to make rebellion. Among them, 2,000 archers will be in the First Army. And the 6,000 people from Coca and Ozoma, I plan to set up A standing regiment."

"Set up a standing army?"

Hearing this, Bertard was a little surprised. There are only four legions in the current kingdom. The first and second spears are the reclamation army, and only the 14,000 people of the Imperial Guard and the Gyeonggi Army are the standing army.

"Yes. The Guajili fighters are good at shooting and hunting, and the elite red-haired hunters can even hurt the bronze armored warriors. Such an excellent source of soldiers, it is a pity as a reclamation army. They are good at fighting, and they are indeed not good at farming. Wait until the Guajili army After the formation is complete, start military training as soon as possible. I will be of great use soon!"

Xiulot made a decision and asked.

"By raising one more standing army, can the kingdom's food keep up?"

"Your Highness, the Northern Expedition consumes a lot in a few months, and resettling tens of thousands of Guajili tribes also requires a lot of food and supplies..."

Seeing His Highness's expression, Bertard sighed. He took out a picture volume from his arms, opened it for a moment, and replied.

"If we expand the gem trade and use a batch of food aid from the alliance, the kingdom can last until this year's autumn harvest. And when the Guakili tribe can be self-sufficient, river mud and compost are popularized in the military and civilian villages, and the kingdom's There will be a surplus of food.”

"That's the arrangement! Let the village priests hurry up with this year's spring plowing and promote new farm tools and fertilizers."

Xiulot smiled with satisfaction. He reached out and touched the letter on Avelot's lap, and the little golden eagle tilted his head in doubt. "Hawk?"

"Not long ago, the envoys of the royal family came with a fleet, transported a batch of tin ore, and transported away the kingdom's copper ore. The envoy also brought a message from King Avit, requesting more bronze armor and weapons. I A letter has been written to Alyssa, in exchange for the kingdom's bronze equipment in exchange for the alliance's rich food... Now, the letter is here."

Hearing this, Bertard looked at the "messenger" in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"Your Highness, do you need me to send another envoy to the alliance?"

"Haha! I have already sent another envoy to bring the exotic flowers and plants from the Northland, especially the black feather jade from the Priest of the Wasteland... and now, I will send the fastest messenger in the world."

Shulot smiled. He stretched out his hand and patted the little golden eagle's head heavily.

"Avelot, don't play any more! I've accepted your fish, and I'll treat the northern guests to eat tonight. Now, hurry back to the capital in the lake!"

"Chirp!"

Avilot shrank his head when he was photographed. Then, its small eyes were rounded, and it looked at Shulot with a puzzled expression.

"Hawk?"

"Go!"

Xiulot raised his arm and threw the grown little golden eagle up. According to the falconer's explanation, Avelot now has the intelligence level of a six-year-old child. It has the concept of home in its mind, that is, the capital city in the lake where it has lived for many years. Even if it flies thousands of miles away, it can find its way home, just like a migratory bird. However, it currently has only one home in memory.

In other words, the current Avelot is a one-way messenger, or a long-flying yo-yo. Throw it out, within four hours, it can return to the capital city in the lake seven hundred miles away, and directly reach Alyssa's palace!

Then, because it flew too far, it couldn't find it. The next time I come here, I still need the falconer to bring it with me.

"Haw, chirp?"

Avelot hovered over the fortress at the mouth of the river, screaming in doubt. Shulot stretched out his hand, pointed to the east, and shouted to the little golden eagle with a smile.

"Go! Avelot! Take my letter to Alyssa!"

"Hawk?"

Avelot flapped his wings and screamed non-stop. Then, its barking changed suddenly, its body trembled, and it rushed towards the east.

"Chirp!"

Shulot watched the little golden eagle leave and disappeared into the sky, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Behind him, Bertard silently put away his longbow again, hid his sharp arrows, and smiled faintly.

"Berthard."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Who do you think is the appropriate head of the Legion after the formation of the Dogborn Legion?"

The king turned his body on his back, looked at the flying birds in the distance, and asked calmly.

Bertard was startled, and replied cautiously.

"Your Highness, everything is according to your will."

"Has Hei Lang recovered from his injury?"

"Toltek's injury has healed. He is ashamed of his previous failure and has been ashamed to see you. He is just studying in the camp."

"Oh? After this ordeal, he finally calmed down."

Xiulot looked at the sky, UU reading www.uukanshu.com smiling.

"You are his teacher, what do you think of him?"

Bertard lowered his head, looked respectful, and answered again.

"Your Highness, everything is according to your will."

"Yeah. Go down and let Toltek come over at night, just say I'll treat him to fish."

"...as ordered."

"Ha ha!"

For some reason, Xiulot felt a little happy. In this brilliant spring day, he sang softly, took off the king's coat, and became a boy again.

"The golden eagle in spring flew to my window and sang, dropped a fish, and then flew away again~Flying bird in spring~"
