Three days after the Qinghe Kingdom occupied the Wulin force, a negotiation team from a large Western force arrived at the border and contacted the Qinghe Kingdom's diplomatic team. The two sides began to exchange limited intelligence to let the other party understand what kind of force they were. Carry out further negotiations.

The Qinghe Kingdom has shown itself to be a powerful country with sea, land and air forces, 1.5 million field troops, 2 million local garrison troops, and a total population of 40 million, occupying a radius of thousands of miles.

And in the self-introduction of the force on the opposite side, they also showed the demeanor of a big force.

This force is called Ming, and it has eight provinces, nearly a hundred state capitals, and six hundred counties.

The Ming Dynasty also had a population of 50 million, and an army of 3 million, equipped with steam tanks, steam rifles, steam machine guns, and a powerful air force, with strong combat effectiveness.

After the two sides exchanged general information and understood the level of the other side, the foreign ministries of both sides knew in an instant that the two sides would not be able to fight for the time being.

They are almost the same size, with similar weapons and equipment, and there are several major forces surrounding the Ming Dynasty. And because of the merger with this misty land, the Ming Dynasty occupies hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of unclaimed land. Except for the Qinghe Kingdom, There are two new fog forces on the east and west sides.

It is not a good time to fight the Qinghe Kingdom for the time being, and in its own misty territory, apart from the Ming Dynasty, there are two equally powerful countries, as well as a dozen small buffer countries between the three countries.

Therefore, Ming Dynasty is now digesting the newly occupied land that has no owner and covers an area of ​​​​a province, rather than provoking an opponent of equal strength.

As for the Qinghe Kingdom, it had just annexed the Kingdom of Grass, Longhu Villa, and the Wulin Force, and occupied a large area of ​​unclaimed land during the period. The Northern Mountain Legion also advanced rapidly into the mountains, occupying hundreds of kilometers. mountainous areas.

The current Qinghe Kingdom also needs to rest and maintain internal stability, rather than fighting the same force.

Once both parties have this idea, the subsequent negotiations with each other will be easier to handle. While delaying for a while, they can learn more about the other party and determine some small results.

After more than half a month of this process, a negotiation document was finalized, approved by the kings and emperors of both parties, and signed.

The two sides focused on the areas currently occupied by each other, sorted out the border, and signed a non-aggression treaty. At the same time, the two sides established a trade city on the border where goods from both sides could be traded.

However, merchants from both sides can only enter this trading city and are not allowed to enter the opposite territory without permission.

The signing of a treaty only allowed the Qinghe Kingdom and the Ming Empire to temporarily stop the war, but both sides knew that this was only temporary, and the war might start again in a few years.

However, in order to ensure the current stability, Di Feng issued an order to the Lord's Mansion to form two hundred border defense regiments with 400,000 troops to maintain the stability of the newly occupied counties and at the same time assist the field regiments stationed on the border to patrol the border.

Some of these border defense regiments are composed of new recruits every year, and some are composed of troops drawn from various garrison stations. As for the original garrison stations, new recruits will be recruited in the future.

Within the Qinghe Kingdom, those internally stable counties ensure a guard force of 2,000 people, half stationed and half trained. In addition, there is also a brigade of armed security forces stationed in the city to ensure the safety of the city.

In the newly occupied counties and counties of the Qinghe Kingdom, as well as those counties along the border, in addition to these troops, a border defense regiment of 2,000 people will be added to ensure border security.

In addition, the field legions stationed on the border are also dispersed in regiments along the border to ensure that they can support various regions at any time.

And Di Feng's current order is equivalent to directly increasing the establishment of the garrison by 400,000, which can be said to be a big expenditure for the Qinghe Kingdom.

But now, the Qinghe Kingdom has annexed three forces, added 12 million people, newly occupied counties, and the divisions that need to be adjusted. It is a big project.

Not to mention, the newly occupied areas only have some flat dirt roads and gravel roads, which cannot guarantee the rapid mobilization of the Qinghe Kingdom's army.

Next, the Qinghe Kingdom will build railways, roads, and various infrastructure in the newly occupied areas. Such large projects also require huge investments.

At the end of the war, Di Feng did not leave the border. Guard troops and border defense regiments were in place in the rear, and every village and town in the borderless land was sorted out.

Government affairs offices were established one after another. During this period, Di Feng took several of his secretaries to deal with various documents from these newly occupied areas. He was busy for two months until most of the affairs were almost completed.

, Di Feng then returned to Qinghe City with his Imperial Guards, Knight Legion, Chocobo Regiment, and Mage Battalion.

After Di Feng returned, the harvest of the war during this period was also completed, and a summary report was sent to Di Feng.

In this battle, more than one million troops were mobilized and 500,000 tons of various materials were consumed. Because the enemy was relatively weak, the total number of our casualties was less than 1,000. It can be said to be a huge victory.

In this battle, the Kingdom of Grass, Longhu Villa, the martial arts forces, a large area of ​​unclaimed land between the three forces were annexed, and the mountain army advanced southward to the western end of the Northern Mountains.

Among them, the area of ​​the Unclaimed Land is about 190,000 square kilometers, the Land of Grass covers an area of ​​120,000 square kilometers, the Longhu Villa covers an area of ​​160,000 square kilometers, and the martial arts forces cover an area of ​​63,000 square kilometers. The newly occupied mountain areas include ten

Thousands of square kilometers.

In this battle, the Qinghe Kingdom's new territorial area was 633,000 square kilometers. Adding in the Qinghe Kingdom's original territorial area of ​​1.1 million square kilometers, the total area of ​​the Qinghe Kingdom now is about 1.74 million square kilometers.

This battle expanded our country's territorial area by more than one-half. Most of these lands are plain lands that can be developed into fertile farmland. It can be said that this battle greatly increased our country's power.

In addition, a large number of new people have been added in this battle.

Among them, the Kingdom of Grass has a total of 3.55 million, Longhu Villa has 4.8 million, the martial arts forces have 3.75 million, the northern mountainous area has 10,000, and the scattered villages and towns in the unclaimed land have 150,000.

After counting, the new population of this battle was 12.26 million. Before this, the total population of the Qinghe Kingdom was about 38 million.

After annexing these forces, the total population of the Qinghe Kingdom exceeded 50 million, and the national power of the Qinghe Kingdom further increased.

However, the vast majority of the new population are illiterate and uncultivated lower-class farmers, and not many workers can be developed in a short period of time. However, as long as the land distribution is ensured, these areas can be quickly brought under rule.

For the newly occupied areas, the large-scale development system formulated by the General Administration Department has now roughly divided the newly occupied areas into counties and established new roads, all of which require the approval of His Majesty the King.

In addition, the General Government Affairs Department has already started development and construction projects in the newly occupied areas, and only needs to wait until the new county planning is approved before implementation can begin.

Regarding planning, the Ministry of Transportation of the Qinghe Kingdom is building a railway and highway extending westward from the original main road of Qinghe City to the latest border.

At the same time, in the north, kilometers of railways in the Northern Mountains also extend westward to the latest border areas along the Northern Mountains.

In the south, the southern railway line and highway line are also built in this way. These three roads and railways are enough to ensure our country's material transportation and troop transportation in the newly occupied areas.

The education department plans to first establish a primary school in each town-level administrative unit and a middle school in each county. In addition to the newly established Kusanouni University, a new medical university, a mechanical university, and a military university will be established.

.

These school teachers and administrative staff, and the schools under the education department, have sufficient talent reserves and can take up their posts immediately after the construction is completed.

The health department has decided to build a clinic in each town, a hospital in the county, and a general hospital in each county. Personnel at all levels are being mobilized.

The Ministry of Industry has now begun to calculate the construction requirements of other departments and is in the process of budget planning. A complete budget table will be submitted in the future.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs has now mobilized a large number of officials. Originally, the three powers had personnel in each county, region, city, and village. However, due to the rapid expansion this time, more officials are needed.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is now organizing the second batch of officials, and it is expected that the second batch of 10,000 cadres will be transferred within two weeks.

The commercial department is currently preventing its subordinate companies from starting inspections in counties in the newly occupied areas. In the future, corresponding factories will be established based on the conditions in each place to enhance the local economy.

In addition, the Qinghe Ling Station Corporation is selecting suitable locations to purchase land to build new stations based on the newly occupied areas, and will recruit a large number of workers based on the stations to provide a large number of jobs.

The major banks under the Qinghe Kingdom are organizing personnel to ensure that new banks are established in every county to ensure economic circulation.

As for the circulation in these counties, the financial department has also specially allocated a batch of funds to support development in various regions.

It can be said that this expansion has made the Qinghe Kingdom become a fat man at once, with a large amount of land and an additional population of over 10 million. There are also old forces in various regions that need to be dealt with, and a new round of large-scale construction is needed.

.

It can be said that the Qinghe Kingdom at this moment is like being equipped with an engine and running at high speed.

"Then, the next step is to divide these newly occupied areas into counties, and then start the next step of construction." Di Feng looked at the frontline inspection report in his hand and thought to himself.
Chapter completed!
