The birch candle burns out and is replaced with a new one. The night is dark, with faint stars and moonlight. At this moment, candlelight and moonlight illuminate the table at the same time. And on the table, there is a map spread out, which the world will never forget.

"The big plan is the great infrastructure of the kingdom! Build 600 miles of county roads and dredge 700 miles of waterways. Bronze tools and iron tools must be used on a large scale in the project. And the gunpowder of the God's Enlightenment will also Priority supply!...The scale of mobilization in each county is tens of thousands, which is a test of the level of local organization. Large-scale labor will definitely kill people, but we must do a good job in food supply and simple medical treatment, and try our best to reduce casualties!"

Thinking of this, Xiulot pondered for a while, and continued to write notes.

"A group of priests will be selected from the Kingdom's Shinmui University, and a hundred people will be selected from my personal guards. They will go to the counties and serve as my direct supervisors to supervise the implementation of the project!"

The construction of large-scale projects requires tens of thousands of people and consumes a lot of materials, so there must be sufficient supervision. Shulot's prestige is sufficient, and he can dispatch inspectors to make generals and warriors everywhere obey. He was not worried about the loyalty of the generals, but he was worried that the warriors' methods were too cruel and they persecuted the civilians too much.

The priests and personal guards also supervised the use of logistics materials and assisted in calculating the mobilization of various manpower and material resources. It’s not that corruption is eradicated, that’s impossible. As long as they can reduce the proportion of materials consumed by various projects to about 30 to 40%, Xiulot will be very satisfied.

The arrangement of the big plan is here for the time being. Within three days, the messengers will take the complete royal decree and tokens to the counties of the kingdom. After the construction is done, the next step is to kill!

"Yin Ezpan, Apa County, once proposed a plan the year before last, that is to send troops from Snakebone Village in Apa County, along the Chatao River to the Chapala Lake area, and go straight to the southern hinterland of the Prince of Feathers! But I didn't Instead, let him resettle immigrants, establish villages, and concentrate on the development of the Apa Plain. Last year, more than 100,000 immigrants flooded in, and Apa County was in short supply of food, so it was unable to take the initiative to attack.”

Shulot stared at Lake Chapala, his eyes flickered and his thoughts fluctuated.

"The Chapala Lake District has a flat terrain, a vast area, and crisscross rivers and lakes. It is similar to the Apa Plain, but the transportation is more convenient! Its east is the upper reaches of the Leman River, which connects the capital city in the lake. Its west is the Leman River. In the lower reaches of the Man River, it runs six hundred miles straight into the Pacific Ocean. In the south, it divides into two branches, the Chatau River in four hundred miles connects the Apa Plain, and the Chaco River connects the Colima Mountains in four hundred miles. To the north, there is a The six-hundred-mile-long river flows southward from the Zacatecas wilderness, the old lair of the Guaquiles, flows through the territory of the Guamals, and flows into Lake Chapala!..."

"Five segments of rivers connect east, west, north and south. The gold, silver and coal mines in the Zacatecas wasteland, the iron mines in the Colima Mountains, the grain in the Apa Plain, the commerce in the Mexica Valley, and the waterway leading directly to the Pacific Ocean. Gather here!"

Thinking of this, Shulot raised his head slightly and looked up at the starry sky at the top of the zenith. Two hundred miles from east to west, Chapala Lake has five long rivers converging. There is only one disadvantage of such a terrain, that is, it is easy to flood!

"The big lake and the big river are unpredictable gods, she is moody, and determines the rise and fall of the tribe."

Shulot, with a wistful expression, recites an old Prepecha proverb, but he won't stop there.

"...However, great lakes and rivers are also the best transportation, as long as you have the ability to tame them! In this classical era of insufficient productivity, the Chapala Lake District has not yet shown its advantages. And when the industrial age comes, the later generations The Lake Patzcuaro area will gradually fall silent, while the Lake Chapala area will continue to rise. The city of Guadalajara by the lake will also become the second largest metropolitan area in Mexico!"

After pondering for a long time, Xiulot finally made up his mind. He is bound to win this lake area. As for post-occupation governance, you can take your time.

"After this year's autumn harvest, when the food is sufficient and the people's hearts are a little more stable, Ezpan can send troops from Apa County. The Second Long Spear Corps is still stationed in the local area, organizing civilians to build canals and reservoirs. And send out the Terkos Battalion and the Long Snake Corps !"

"The Long Snake Legion has Tlaxcala warriors as the backbone, and most of them have been formed. They can send troops to plunder after autumn. As long as the Long Snake Legion makes contributions and confers land and titles, the warriors from various tribes in Tlaxcala will gradually be included. The kingdom's military system!"

"Kuluka the monkey also wants to send troops from Hekou County in the upper reaches. He can recruit the Guamal dog descendants, and then carefully investigate the reality of the Guamal people. The three-way robbery will not let Prince Feather have a chance to breathe. When I return from the Eastern Expedition, I will launch a Western Expedition to completely occupy the land of Chapala!"

With this in mind, there is no hesitation. Xiulot stood up, walked out of the bright tent, and came under the deep night. He looked at the Cloud Snake City in the north, but he could only see the shadow of the majestic mountains.

"Lord God bless! The army has stopped, and the two strong fortresses have been besieged for a year! What is the situation of the two cities now? And when will the follow-up of this Eastern Expedition end?"

These questions, as the commander in chief of the army, Xiulot actually already had answers. In Yunshe Mountain City, many militiamen were dispatched to play hide-and-seek with the warriors in the forest. And these mountain city militiamen have only one purpose, which is to obtain salt.

"According to the confession of the militia, during the autumn harvest last year, a lot of food was harvested in the mountain fields of Yunshe Mountain City. According to this consumption rate, their food can last for a year! However, they are short of salt."

Cloud Snake Mountain City lacks salt, while White Snake Hill City lacks everything! Some militiamen escaped from Qiucheng, and the news they brought was first that "the nobles eat food, the warriors eat people, and the old and weak, women and children all die." But in the last month, it has become "the nobles and the warriors eat people together, and the young and strong eat people together." Take a small bite and share the food as a sacrifice.”

In the city of White Snake Hill, it is true that ammunition and food are exhausted, and everyone is eating each other. However, even in such a tragic situation, the Tlaxcala militiamen in the city did not riot against them. The descendants of the gods are aloof and unstoppable like gods. The priests performed sacrifices in the name of the gods. The samurai mastered force, and once they found signs, they could easily suppress them.

"Theocratic power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The gap between warriors and militiamen is like a world of difference. The militiamen in the city are starved and exhausted. Their most rebellious choice is to try their best to escape from the city and look for a trace of life!"

Shulot lowered his eyes. He could imagine the horrors in the city of White Snake Hill. A messenger has been sent from the Cannon Foundry Bureau of the Kingdom that six 1,000-jin heavy mortars have been cast and will be shipped to the front line soon. In about two months, these six mortars can be transported here along the Talsas River with difficulty.

"If you hurry up, you may be able to capture White Snake Hill City before the peak rainy season in July. But if you are slower, the heavy rain will rest in July and August, and the heavy rain will stop in September, and the siege will start...October should be able to capture the city." capture!"

Shulot's eyes flickered and he looked to the north. The last fortresses of the two cloud snake descendants were surrounded by continuous trenches and camps, and no one could escape. White Snake Hill City is running out of food and can no longer support it. As for the Cloud Snake Mountain City, it still needs water grinding.

"Cloud Snake Mountain City, the terrain is so dangerous... There is no rush."

Shulot thought for a while, then looked to the east again. The black wolf was leading the army, rushing towards the coast of the Totonac people. And the king holds the army in his hand, sits here, and the arrangement of the east is much easier to carry out. When the Eastern Expedition is over and the alliance army returns, it will be too late to plan for the various ministries in the East!

"Master, the night is getting dark, it's time to rest."

The head of the guard, Eckart, stood behind the king, and waited for a long time before admonishing him in a low voice. Shulot raised his head, looked at the bright moon that had risen into the sky, and nodded slightly.

"Yeah. Eckart, you should rest too! There are personal guards at the door."

"Master, I'm fine."

Eckart bowed his head and saluted respectfully. Hearing this, Xiulot didn't say anything more. He walked towards the side tent where he was resting, and suddenly stopped, remembering something.

"Eckart, how long has it been since I went to see Naxiu?"

"Your Highness, you handle the kingdom's government affairs, deal with the military situation of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and often meet with the leaders of various legions... It's been more than a month, and you haven't entered Tree Snake City."

"Oh? Has it been more than a month?"

Shulot frowned and stroked his beardless chin.

"It's been so long!... Naxiu has been dissatisfied, it's been a few months, why is it still not getting better?"

"..."

Eckart lowered his head and said nothing. He must abide by the duties of the chief guard and be cautious in his words and deeds. As for the family affairs of the head of the family, it is difficult to speak up.

"Forget it! Eckart, prepare your guards. Government affairs and military affairs have been dealt with, and I'm going back to Tree Snake City tomorrow!"

"Yes, according to your will!"

Eckart lowered his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ and looked at his toes. Until Shulot stepped into the camp and extinguished the candles. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.

"The high priest said, "The moon is in the sky, sometimes it is full, and sometimes it is lacking. Even if it is in the sky, the king high above, there will be times when he is indecisive and the moon is dying."..."

"Patriarch, I serve you faithfully, just like serving your grandfather. No matter what choice you make, I will hold a sharp ax and handle everything for you!"

The moonlit night is faint, and the light and shadow are flickering. Eckart stood in front of the tent with a copper ax in his hand, and there was no more sound. And the deepest night also came from the east, silently drowning the big tent.
