In mid-January, the Ambergris and the river basin is in deep winter. The river embankment is frozen layer by layer, with floating snow floating on the river surface, but the water flow is still surging, rushing towards the outlet of Jinfen Port.

The fertile land on both sides of the river is covered with thick snow, the soil is frozen and the vitality is blocked.

The farmer's family in the suburbs surrounded by the stove, with snowflakes floating outside the window. The male owner complained about the cold this winter. The female owner knitted a sweater and scolded the children playing behind from time to time, so that they would not be too noisy. A big dog and

A fat cat lies lazily at his feet, warm and peaceful.

The floor suddenly vibrated. At first, it was very small and no one noticed it. The back became bigger and bigger. First, the window was vibrating, the snow on the window ridge fell, and then the ice cones on the eaves fell down.

The farmers and their families stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in a glance.

"I'll go out and have a look."

The male owner walked to the cabinet a few steps, opened the cabinet door, and took out the rifle inside. This is usually used to fight wild ducks, and occasionally used to prevent bandits. However, this is a satellite signal coverage area, a place where the rule of law is basically not

There is danger.

"Be careful!"

The male owner nodded to the female owner, held the gun and pushed the door out.

“Woo…”

The north wind whistled and snowflakes came to my face. The sky and the earth were white, with low visibility, about ten meters.

The male protagonist walked seven or eight meters away in the wind and snow, and a gray shadow appeared in sight.

The orange-red spotlights shone forward, and the roar of the engine mixed with the snowflakes.

After taking a few more steps, I saw trucks full of soldiers passing by outside the farm, followed by mechas and infantry.

The male owner was shocked and turned around and ran back into the house, closed the door heavily, and inserted the entire department into the lock.

"It's the army of the Northern Alliance, they're fighting!"

The hostess stood up suddenly, and the knitted sweater fell to the ground, frightening the cat and dog to jump away.

“Fast-for-cellar!”

The hostess rushed to a corner of the room quickly, pulled open the wooden boards on the ground, revealing the entrance to the cellar.

Just then, a radio rang outside.

"The troops will not disturb the people when passing through the farmhouse. Violators will be dealt with by violators!"

"Re-examination, violators will be dealt with by military law!"

The male and female hostess looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the Expeditionary Force promoted the outside world, the soldiers were not allowed to harass or loot civilians.

On this day, Chen Xing personally led an army of 150,000 to besiege Yinying Corps.

The policy of not disturbing the people was learned from his ancestors, and it was called "not taking the masses one needle and one thread."

Now is the internal war in the United Kingdom of Ambergris, and it is very important to win the hope of the people. Perhaps the land will change hands and these civilians will become new gangs.

Of course, even if the Silver Claw Principality was captured, Chen Xing would not have been able to obtain too many fiefs.

According to the aristocratic law of the United Kingdom of Ambergris, changing territory and changing royal families is by no means an easy task. Only the king has the right to take back the fiefs of the great nobles. As long as the Silver Claws did not betray the kingdom, even if the civil war was fought again.

In the end, the land must be left to their descendants.

The victor can only affect the benefits of this land by supporting the blood of the Silver Claw Royal Family.

But then again, if Aliya insists on sharing the land captured by Chen Xing to him, it is not impossible, but the premise is that Cuilis across the river also does the same, otherwise all neutral nobles will turn to Cui.

Lis' side.

Changing the lowest rules of the game means shaking the foundation of the kingdom. Unless there is a preparation for a major change of blood in the aristocrats, they still have to follow the rules.

Neither Aliya nor Cuilis would do such a thankless thing.

The land was captured but could not be owned or obtained the corresponding captain, so the phenomenon of looting civilians during the Civil War was very common. Even if the Human Survival Committee repeatedly called for not harming civilians, the army was still keen on this, because it was obtained

The fastest and easiest way to spend military expenses.

Chen Xing was short of military expenditure, but there were three reasons why he did not loot civilians.

First, the ideal of mercenaries to establish a country requires people's expectations as support, and no people will be willing to support a tyrant to establish a country.

Second, some people in the expeditionary army could not accept looting civilians, such as Huozui and Lelianka.

Third, looting civilians will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Soldiers will definitely hide some of their property in the process of looting. If they make enough money, they will naturally go home to buy a car and a house to pick up their sister and marry a wife and live a happy life. Who has the heart to fight?

Therefore, the wisdom of our ancestors still needs to be learned. Just three days ago, Chen Xing sent someone to escort the Silver Clawed Prince Wei Qinghai back to the Silver Eagle Collar.

The reason is very simple. He charged Wei Haitang a ransom of one million gold coins.

The purchasing power of a gold coin is equivalent to a thousand soft sister coins on the earth, and a million gold coins are equivalent to a billion soft sister coins.

It is still very cost-effective to exchange for a waste. Wei Qinghai's physical disability and personality is garbage, and it is difficult to become a great person. Even if it is put back, it will be a waste of money and will not pose a threat to the next siege.

On the other hand, Chen Xing is really short of money.

In the previous battles, the Expeditionary Force lost more than 80,000 people, and according to the minimum standard of 200 gold coins per person, the pension was as high as 16 million.

Although the military headquarters of the Red Dragon Principality was responsible for most of the pensions, it was temporarily only the number on the document and was not actually paid.

If Chen Xing successfully defeated the Silver Eagle Collar, money would naturally not be a problem. As long as you scrape the middle and upper-level nobles of Silver Claws, all problems will be solved.

But if you can't fight, maybe Aliyado will have to think of a way.

In addition to the pension, military expenditure is also part of the cost. Now, among the 150,000 people, except for the remaining 120,000 before, the 30,000 people are mainly mercenaries, red dragons and black feathers who come from all over the world.

young man.

Reorganizing troops, purchasing weapons, and replenishing supplies all require a lot of funds.

When Chen Xing used to read news, experts and scholars always said that money is the one who fights in war. Now it seems to be a famous saying.

During this period, he was like a gangster, pirating everywhere to collect protection fees, and then he barely filled the funding gap and reorganized this 150,000 troops.

This army has experienced a large-scale war and has matured a lot. Although the number of people is not as large as that at the beginning, its combat effectiveness is stronger than before.

The difference between a new recruit and a veteran is just a cruel war. For example, although there are only more than 6,000 left in the Left Army, these 6,000 people are fighting in the most cruel battlefield, and a large part of them are

You can be promoted to grassroots officers. As long as you have sufficient military sources, your combat effectiveness will be restored quickly, because the combat effectiveness of the troops mainly depends on the command ability of grassroots officers.
