Of course, the most important thing is the First Corps of the Free Army, which has gradually gathered near Reims. It has about five combat corps under its jurisdiction; the 1st, 4th, and 5th Corps have basically completed the combat preparations for the supplies and soldiers needed for the march.
Supplement: Therefore, as long as you give the order, you can go ahead.
But before that, Jiang Tian issued a series of orders as a preparation for the aftermath of the march; for example, on the grounds of strengthening defense and public facilities construction, he used the Free Army's war reserves to absorb and accept people who had lost their lives due to disasters.
Exiles fleeing villages and towns;
After sending a large number of statisticians to conduct preliminary statistics and on-site inspections of thousands of castles within the territory of the Free Army, the national salvation government promulgated the "Castle Abandonment Order." In other words, except for a few that have military purposes or
It is outside the castle located at a traffic hub;
Other castles left over from ancient times will be demolished by the new government by organizing manpower nearby to prevent them from becoming gathering points and shelters for bandits or alien groups in the wild to harbor evil and evil. Therefore, in addition to family inheritance, new castles will be demolished in the future.
Nobles were no longer allowed to build castles.
Another example is to increase the investment of a special fund and issue various standard bounties in the only legal mercenary club in each city; to encourage and drive to attract the armed forces scattered among the people to undertake some exploration and rescue,
The designated mission of escorting and hunting aliens.
However, some people have raised an objection. Because all of this has a premise, which is based on rapid and large consumption of existing inventory reserves. In this case, once the frontline offensive is stagnant and stalemate, it will be very difficult.
It is easy to create unsustainable problems.
These are mainly new members. Although they do not dare to question the decision of the supreme leader due to Jiang's everlasting prestige and reputation; they are even less willing to label themselves as defeatist; but they also use various methods to
In a subtle way, I raised my concerns and doubts.
In this regard, Jiang Tian did not have too many excuses; he just summoned all members of the special committee, as well as middle- and high-level generals who were authorized to attend as observers, as well as some representatives of the Bishops' Joint Conference and the Chamber of Commerce, and came to the city of Reims.
On the square in front of the Cathedral of Our Lady.
And here, a hill-like existence has appeared out of thin air; it is countless bags of wheat beans, bundles of cloth, and refined iron ingots and copper blocks, piled tens of meters high and dissipating;
Just before dawn, he suddenly appeared in the large square that had been deliberately emptied.
Of course, these mountains of supplies were not conjured out of thin air by Jiang Tian; they were products from another time and space line. Having already received a large amount of compensation and loot, the successful team returned to the country and rested for a whole year.
Haidong Office, feedback provided.
After successively absorbing the components from the two space fragments, the "space-time hole" module in Jiang Tian's vision panel also seems to have been enhanced. The most obvious change is that together with the "Haidong" space-time transmission channel, it seems that it has been
It has been expanded a lot and can replace more resources.
Therefore, the material reserves that appear in front of us are only a small part of the first batch of resources that the official government led by Xiao Yuanyuan is ready to feed back to the main world of "Datang". But it is only a small part of the replacement.
It has consumed more than thirty units of energy accumulated by Jiang Tian.
Of course, although these supplies seem considerable, they are only half a year's military supplies for the Haidong Army led by Little Round Face and the Northern Expedition to the Andong Protectorate. Therefore, their greater role is to cheer up and stabilize people's hearts. It is also enough to dissuade people.
Most people are worried about the lack of future military supplies.
After witnessing this scene, everyone's doubts and worries, as well as potential doubts and regrets, disappeared in an instant. They were almost full of blood and devoted themselves to the preparations for the march; Bishop
The group organized a grand mass on the spot.
Through the sacramental event celebrating this sacred miracle, donations and gifts of hundreds of thousands of crowns were received from people from all walks of life in the city that day; and then in the province where the city of Reims is located, there were more priests who got the news.
And believers are coming one after another; just for the miracle of pilgrimage.
In the midst of this heated religious activity, most of the First Army led by Jiang Tian had set off overnight and marched in the Weiler River Valley. Of course, when he came here again, Jiang Tian could also see the originally flooded
The traces are still there, but there is basically no impact.
However, the ancient highway that was soaked by floods in the river valley was made of multi-layered rammed earth and stone pavement; it was not much damaged; therefore, it was repaired and re-widened in a short period of time, and it could provide hordes of roads.
The cavalry continues to run, or two carriages gallop and meet in parallel.
Therefore, only half a day later, Jiang Tian saw the outpost troops staying outside Chateau Thierry. Here he also received good news again. Although the rural towns near Chateau Thierry, and even the surrounding areas, had changed.
It has become a large-scale epidemic area where unknown infectious diseases are rampant.
However, the hospital monks who ventured into the local area for exploration and experiments have basically determined that this acute epidemic is suspected to be some kind of cholera. The mode of transmission is through water sources, as well as contact with human and animal feces and body fluids; and for inheritance knights with extraordinary physiques
There is almost no chance of infection.
Therefore, they have tried to carry out special burning and landfill operations in certain settlements in the epidemic area; they have established a basic blockade. As long as they gather the inheritance knights in the legion, they can clear a road along the road and provide a large number of troops and follow-up
Safe passage for materials.
Two days later, the forward cavalry regiment of the First Army passed through the epidemic area that stretched for dozens of miles. Fort Uchi, Fort Millon, and Soissons had been abandoned or all their personnel had died.
Cheng and others arrived at Meucheng, an important town in Marne County in the northwest of the capital region, which was supposed to be fortified at all levels.
When they arrived at the gates of Mocheng, the city was basically unprepared or caught off guard; only a few squadrons of halberdiers set up on ferries and bridges were blocking and expelling any escapees from the epidemic area; at the same time,
A small group of knights patrolled along the river bank.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Edwin, the leader of the vanguard cavalry and the heritage knight, broke up and defeated them on the spot. Then he took these defeated soldiers and rushed into the gate of Mocheng, who had no time to react.
He summoned up his courage and killed the soldiers guarding the city gate.
However, when Edwin, who was guarding the city gate and awaiting reinforcements, raised the smiling golden sun flag representing the Free Army on top of the city, he heard a huge roar from inside the city. Then he was surprised to see on the streets in the distance,
Countless people rushed out of their homes and fled to the open city gate in the opposite direction.
The turbulent crowds of people fled on the streets, pushing and trampling each other, screaming and crying; they even broke up in front of each other, squeezing out several garrison troops who came from other parts of the city to support; and also made this well-prepared army
The vanguard cavalry company was ready to receive more backup.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian's headquarters of the First Army also entered Mocheng, they realized what absurd and uninhibited slander and rumors the Burgundian dynasty in the north had carried out against the Free Army, or it was devilish propaganda to the extreme;
So much so that there was huge panic among the soldiers and civilians in the city.
For example, they actually selected hundreds of pure young girls and dedicated them to ask for forgiveness from the leader of the Free Army, Luo Xia; just because they heard that Jiang Tian was actually the incarnation of a great devil who used his virginity every day
He uses the essence and blood in his heart to maintain his human form.
There are also church members who are too afraid of the rebels in the south and are going to carry out large-scale sacrificial sacrifices and blasphemous group shouting in God's sanctuary; they actually lock themselves in the church, with piles of firewood and grease around them;
Plan to die with any invading thugs.
In other words, after the change of the celestial sphere, various alien species and abnormal phenomena emerged, which caused serious psychological differences among the people in the northern region. Some people have obviously become more devout in their beliefs, while others have become self-destructive or broken.
But most people believe in mystery more.
As a result, their fear of the Free Army reached its limit; it easily turned into one-sided panic and despair. Jiang Tian had no good way to deal with this; he could only order the protection of those churches, and then
Then a dozen women were selected to serve as maids.
After spending a peaceful night together, they were released to show themselves. The so-called rumors were naturally resolved partly. However, this small episode in Mocheng could not stop the First Army's offensive; the arrangements were well made.
After arriving at the local large military depot, we continued our journey.
At this time, new news also came from the front. On the Seine River Plain (later known as the Paris Basin), several cavalry companies that drove straight in have easily occupied cities and towns such as Senlis and Gignes in the hinterland. However,
Therefore, we encountered fort defense lines arranged along many rivers.
However, when Jiang Tian personally came to one of the bridgehead fortresses located at the confluence of the Seine River tributaries and the Tailan River, he only felt a little weird. Because this civil bridgehead looked decent from a distance, but once
As I got closer, I noticed that large parts of the wall were peeling off.
And in the cracked wall that is half a foot wide, the extremely loose inner material is exposed; if you poke it lightly with your finger, the slag will fall out. In short, in addition to the wooden boards and frames used to hide the outer wall,
, it’s just something to fool people inside; it’s worse than a straw and mud dwelling.
The hundreds of soldiers who were ordered to guard it were even more speechless; there were many old men with wrinkled faces and beards, as well as young men who hadn't even grown hair yet. Their equipment only had helmets and wooden spears, so it wasn't so much that they were soldiers.
A fortress is better described as a slum-like shack.
Even the village patrol volunteers and town guards established by the Free Army under the regular guidance and supervision of specially assigned personnel to eliminate military supplies and equipment are obviously inferior. At least, these people still have uniform uniforms.
