Once things involve negotiation, it is a long process.
Prussia is naturally not in a hurry. Anyway, the Prussian army is currently stationed on Danish soil.
The provisional government established by the liberals even provided supplies to the Prussian army. Now the Prussian army is their protective umbrella.
Although the Prussians stopped attacking, the army in Horsenzelin's hands could continue to attack the Danish King's Army.
Half a month later, a provisional government army composed of 20,000 people secretly landed at Aalborg on the Lange Strait under the cover of night.
This landing did not encounter any resistance because Huo Senzelin had already contacted the local liberals.
Since the king's troops were on the southern front.
The conservative forces in the northern part of Jutland were left empty.
This brings great convenience to local liberals.
These liberals organized their own armed forces and occupied the port in advance. The two parties agreed on a time. In this way, they easily occupied Aalborg, an important port city in the north.
After receiving the news, Frederick VII could no longer sit still. He asked Larson to lead the army to the north overnight.
This time he finally decided to abandon Holstein and the Schleswig area.
Prussian spies who had long been lurking in these two areas took the opportunity to operate.
As soon as the Danish army left, these two regions declared their independence from the Kingdom of Denmark.
At the invitation of the local nobles and people, the coalition forces originally stationed in Lübeck finally moved north and occupied these two areas without bloodshed.
When the coalition troops moved in, local people took to the streets to welcome them.
Reporters from various newspapers in the German Confederation rushed to take these shots.
The Danish army retreated all the way to Padsburg, leaving some troops to garrison along the Senne River Basin.
Larson led the main force north to quell the puppet government's troops.
Negotiations between Paris and Prussia had just begun when the Danish Civil War began.
Hosenzelin represents Denmark's liberal capitalists, who hope to have a freer business environment.
This is obviously contradictory to the idea of manor owners in Denmark who want to live behind closed doors.
The conservative forces in Denmark are still very strong. In order to gain more support from the people, Hosenzelin asked the parliament to issue a new law, which would tax differentially according to the amount of land owned.
In other words, people with more land pay high tax rates. Those in rural areas and cities with less land or landless people can pay a low tax rate, or even no tax at all.
This law suddenly dropped a heavy bomb in Denmark.
Those conservative aristocratic manor owners naturally stood firmly on the side of the king, because this decree was precisely aimed at them.
However, the yeoman farmers as well as urban workers, craftsmen, and merchants fully supported the new liberal government.
After the liberals regained northern Jutland, the amount of land and population controlled by both sides was almost the same.
But the liberal side controls the two major industrial cities Aalborg and Copenhagen.
Huo Senzelin did not lack equipment or men, but his soldiers lacked training.
The army in the king's hands is the Danish regular army, and it is the elite of the Danish army.
Most of the officers in these armies were of noble origin.
Therefore, Frederick VII did not have to worry about the loyalty of this army.
But he ignored the soldiers at the bottom.
Most of these grassroots soldiers are ordinary farmers or urban workers.
These people also have their own thoughts.
Of course, for these people to burst out their energy, they need an opportunity.
These veterans have formed the habit of obeying orders. Now that they are restrained by these noble officers, what kind of nonsense can these people come up with?
On the other side of the negotiating table, the Prussians also gained the initiative because of the liberal government's proactive offensive.
Because Prussian troops are still stationed on the three eastern islands.
This left the Danish Royal Army with no way to suppress the liberal government.
The Prussian garrison was equivalent to providing a protective umbrella to the liberal government in disguise.
Soon, the results of the negotiations came out, because Britain and France obstructed the process and assigned the Holstein area to Austria and the Schleswig area to Prussia.
The German Allied Forces wanted to evacuate Danish territory immediately after the treaty was signed.
Not a penny of compensation!
Other contents are insignificant matters.
Although the results were not satisfactory, Prussia still basically achieved its goals.
Under Bismarck's control, Prussian newspapers reported many details of British and French intervention in the war.
For a time, Prussia and even some people in Uttar Pradesh were deeply disgusted by Britain and France's gross interference in the affairs of the German Confederation.
Austria's actions also disgusted the northern states. In recovering Holstein and Schleswig this time, Austria not only did not help.
Instead, it dragged the entire German Confederation back in the end.
This created a huge gap between the northern and southern sides of the Confederacy, which paved the way for the subsequent Austro-Prussian War.
The noble people in the Holstein region were also dissatisfied with the fact that they were assigned to Austria.
This directly resulted in Austria not being recognized by Holstein from beginning to end.
Austria also did not receive any benefits from this enclave.
Both places wanted more to join Prussia.
The people of Schleswig rejoiced over the annexation to Prussia.
In this war, Prussia fully demonstrated its powerful military force.
Many small states in the north were trying to cling tightly to Prussia's lap.
After the war, the German Confederation Parliament directly gave a huge allocation to the German Navy, now the Prussian Navy, so that Prussia could build more ironclads.
The Prussian nation was also impressed by the outstanding performance of the ironclads.
William IV used all the funds allocated by the German Confederation to build warships, and also increased a large amount of military spending. Although this time he did not receive military spending in Denmark.
However, a large amount of property was still seized from the Danish royal palace and the conservative aristocratic estates, so Prussia still made some money from this war.
With the support of these funds, the Prussian Navy added four more ironclads to the four newly built ones.
At the same time, Prussia also recruited a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen to begin research on even larger ironclads.
Thus began the European arms race.
In the east, the land that has been in turmoil for decades is now peaceful.
It is said that food is the basis for stabilizing everything.
Now there are granaries in Southeast Asia and large farms in Northeast China and the Far East.
Under the rule of the Renaissance Army, people will basically no longer starve to death.
If you really can’t survive anymore, you can go directly to the local immigration office.
As long as you sign up for immigration, you will get free meals.
Therefore, the current period under the rule of the Renaissance Army is the most stable.
After decades of chaos, the people in this land cherish their current life very much.
These people, who have just recovered from the war, are very easy to be satisfied. As long as they have enough to eat, they have no complaints no matter how tired they are from work.
Dong Shuheng often told his subordinates that if such hard-working and simple people could not be managed well, it would mean that the official was really hopeless.
August and September are the seasons of crisp autumn air.
Although the grassland does not have the green grass and vibrant scene in spring.
But this is when the grass grows and the horses are fat.
Dong Shuheng started his northern tour half a month ago.
This time, the cavalry regiment of the instructor's division and the presidential palace guard regiment followed.
Dong Shuheng also brought out his two wives who were known to be skilled in bow and horse.
He set off from the new capital, went out of Zhangjiakou, and inspected Suiyuan City, an important commercial town on the grassland.
Fur processing factories can be seen everywhere in Suiyuan City, as well as some wool spinning factories. There is already a bit of an industrial atmosphere here.
Most of the fur produced in Monan Grassland is sent here, forming a processing and distribution center here.
The railway extending from Zhangjiakou will be built here.
It could be open to traffic as soon as next year.
Dong Shuheng saw that the local train stations had been repaired, and it seemed that everyone still welcomed trains.
Under the all-round propaganda of the Renaissance Army, railways have become synonymous with being able to drive local prosperity. People all hope that their hometowns can be connected to trains.
There are local gentry and factory owners who raise funds to build branch railways to the local area. According to the regulations of the Renaissance Army, private individuals can only invest in branch railways.
Dong Shuheng decided to establish forest farms in places with abundant water resources on the grassland. These forest farms were not for logging, but for tree planting.
Due to historical reasons, the trees on the grassland have been severely degraded.
Historically, there were still many woods in the Monan Grassland.
But after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they gradually deteriorated, especially when the Little Ice Age occurred in the late Ming Dynasty, and the trees on the grassland deteriorated even more.
During the Ming Dynasty, cities were built in the Hetao area and development of cultivated land also destroyed a lot of forest land.
Chen Dongsheng once simply redeveloped the cultivated land in the Hetao area and established a farm.
But this plan was rejected by Dong Shuheng. Now the Fuxing Army has plenty of land that can be developed far away from the mainland.
Not only did he not plan to develop farmland on the grasslands, he also established a large number of local forest farms to plant trees on these lands near water sources.
One of the reasons why Dong Shuheng went to the grassland this time was to check the status of tree planting.
It can be said that he used his own power to enforce this policy.
People at the bottom, including many at the top, don’t quite understand it.
During this period, the sandstorms in the Xinjing area were not too obvious yet, but they had already appeared.
Dong Shuheng had already felt this when he stationed in Xinjing at the beginning of the year.
Dong Shuheng also asked the cabinet to formulate a special grassland law, which stipulated that it was prohibited to arbitrarily convert pastures or forest farms to other uses.
Especially if it is converted into cultivated land. Even the owner of the pasture is not allowed to change the use of the pasture.
At the same time, it is also prohibited to graze goats of any kind on the grassland. Goats will eat grass roots and have a great impact on the grassland.
The Renaissance Army has introduced some high-quality breeds of sheep.
After crossing with domestic sheep breeds, it has now begun to be promoted among herders.
Dong Shuheng saw a lot of groves, but they are still saplings now.
He also went to express his condolences to the forest farm workers.
A certain amount of land will be reserved for farming in the forest farm. This is the main source of income for the forest farm.
In the future, when these trees grow up, the output of the forest can also be profitable. This will maintain the operation of the forest farm. Fortunately, the number of workers in the forest farm is much smaller than that of the farm.
Passing through Ulanqab, we took a rest at the Left Wing Center Flag along the way.
Dong Shuheng went to see the Mobei Open Air under development again.
This is the real Gobi Desert, and the conditions are quite harsh.
Dong Shuheng left Yang Ximei and Lu Feiyan in Saiyinsanda.
Accompanied by Qi Bin, who had just arrived, he rushed to the copper mine together.
"Qi Bin, with this mine, we no longer have to worry about copper shortage in the future." Dong Shuheng said.
"Yes, President, our surveyors said that this large copper mine can be mined for hundreds of years." Qi Bin was also very excited. Just starting this project is a big enough achievement.
Qi Bin was very grateful to Dong Shuheng for appointing him as the Grand Protector of Mobei.
He knew that this position was very important. This shows how much Dong Shuheng valued him.
Therefore, he has long regarded himself as a Chinese.
