I Am Going To Fight From West To East

"It's another year of snow in the blink of an eye!" You, Li Xiang, have begun to grow a beard, and time has passed quickly. It has been ten years since he came to the northwest. .

When he came to the northwest, he was alone and only had a leather armor and a long spear all over his body. With that leather armor and a long spear, he stood outside the Northwest Pass.

"Master!"

Li Yi stood behind Li Xiang

"Are all the supplies ready?"

Li Yi nodded: "Everything is ready, just wait for the transport team to deliver these materials to the soldiers' homes!"

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Li Xiang asked Li Yi to prepare a lot of materials, and then hand them over The transport team from the headquarters of Xiliang will deliver these things to the homes of soldiers in Xiliang.

During this year, Xiliang went through two major wars, and the number of battles was much less than in previous years, but the severity and the number of soldiers injured were much higher than in previous years.

Those soldiers have worked so hard for themselves for so long, Li Xiang has to say a little bit that the soldiers in the army don't need him to worry.

However, he has to pay attention to the family members of the soldiers, as well as those soldiers who have been discharged due to injuries, all must be taken into account.

So one month before the Chinese New Year, he let Li Yi take full responsibility for these things.

These items must be delivered to the families of soldiers or retired soldiers before the Chinese New Year, so that they can have a good New Year.

At the same time, doing this can also encourage others to join the army. Now that Xiliang needs more soldiers, the major Legions will lower their recruitment requirements because they don't want those high-quality soldiers.

But at present, there are not so many experts in Xiliang, and there are not so many good soldiers. In the previous recruitment, most of those who can meet the requirements have already entered the army.

But Xiliang is recruiting a lot every year, how can there be so many people recruiting for them, there is no way, they can only lower their recruitment requirements, or expand the territory of Xiliang.

Expanding the territory, they will have more military power, just like this year's Liang Province, the Liang Province has been the main source of recruiting soldiers from all major Legions.

Because there are still a large number of experts who have not been recruited, and some deserters who fought against Xiliang before and escaped secretly, although these were the enemies of Xiliang before.

But as long as they are not caught and are recruited into the army of Xiliang, they are still soldiers of the Western Union. These are rare good players.

After all, they have experienced wars, understand the cruelty of wars, and know some military formations, so it must be very easy to train them.

If these people have killed Xiliang soldiers before, then even better, they can be put into cannon fodder soldiers.

It is not that there are no cannon fodder in the Xiliang army, but many of these cannon fodder are those prisoners in the territory of Xiliang, leaving them in the prison is a waste of food.

So these people were formed into a death row, that is, cannon fodder. As long as these people made enough credit on the battlefield, they could survive. Of course, most of the cannon fodder did not survive to leave the barracks. that time.

Once they stand on the battlefield, they are all in the front row. Behind them are the soldiers of the headquarters of Xiliang. Once they retreat, they will die in the soldiers of the headquarters of Xiliang. under the blade.

They can only dash forward.

"I don't know how many people in the Central Plains have died because of this snow!" In Li Xiang's eyes, snow does not represent a good thing, because he sees too many people brought by the heavy snow. 's crisis.

Beyond the Northwest Pass, the snow is now more than 1m deep. If you continue to go north, the snow there may already be three or four meters deep. He doesn't know where it is further away.

However, according to the results of the Xiliang soldiers' investigation,

the snow in the ominous beast primitive forest is more than ten meters deep, where it is covered with snow all the year round. Also has to be ominous beast.

The taller ominous beasts are dozens of meters high, and the top ominous beasts even have thousands of zhang highs, so that snow is nothing in front of these huge creatures.

And if the Central Plains were ten years ago, ten years ago, at that time, the Imperial Court was still in the flourishing period, no, at that time, turmoil had already begun, but even at that time, the Imperial Court would still have spare capacity for disaster relief. .

Imperial Court still controls local leadership, dominion, and the power in the hands of the emperor still makes all Great Influences in the world dare not act rashly.

But today, ten years later, apart from the Zhili region in the Central Plains, only the region suppressed by the Northern Army is better, and the rest of the southern region has fallen into a state of erosion.

There are rioters and thieves everywhere, and there are ambitious people everywhere. Countless people have been displaced because of the war, which is even more terrifying. This is because of the war, the food production in the southern region has reached the lowest level in history.

Perhaps there was more chaos than this time, and it was too far away from them at that time. Since the Imperial Court ruled the South until now, this stage is the most corrupt time of all time.

According to the intelligence, there has already been a case of Yi Zi and Shi. Li Xiang looked depressed for a long time. He wanted to help the civilians in the southern region, but he didn't know how to help them.

Because he can't reach the southern region now, but even if he can reach the southern region, he can't change anything at all with his current strength, at most he can feed and clothe the people under his rule.

There is nothing he can do about the rest of the area.

His strength is too weak, especially for those Great Influences in the southern region, there is a Monster Race behind the White Lotus Religion, and under the support of the Monster Race, the White Lotus Religion occupies the southwestern region.

The southeastern region is controlled by various Aristocratic Family clans. Under the Aristocratic Family clan, there are various large and small families. The relationship between them is as close as a net.

If you want to restore production in the southeast and let the civilians in the south live a good life, then the net that surrounds them must first be broken.

That is to say, if he wants to pacify the southern region, he will have to face all the Aristocratic Family clans in the southern region, because as long as he deals with one Aristocratic Family clan, it is equivalent to most of the Aristocratic Family clans. Big clan on.

"My lord, there is nothing I can do about it." Li Yi could see Li Xiang's thoughts, lightly saying: "We can't change anything, we can only make our Xiliang live better, we can only Protect our civilians to live a stable life.

As for other areas, there is nothing we can do!"

"By the way, my lord, last time we sent a large number to the Northern Army. Food, and the Northern Army sent a lot of sheepskins in return, and those sheepskins have now come to Heavenly River City." Li Yi remembered that he had another thing to do.

"How many sheepskins are there?" Xiliang basically has no shortage of these sheepskins now, mainly because they have two huge pastures, especially on the small grassland.

Because of the war this year, after the major tribes on the small grassland were annihilated, a large number of cattle and sheep, sheepskins and hides left behind all fell into the hands of soldiers in Xiliang.

Now Xiliang is not short of these beef and mutton skins, and even those beef and mutton meat can be released for the common people to buy.

Only if the civilians under them are fed and clothed, and they eat meat, can their physical fitness become stronger. It is much stronger than most of the civilians in the Central Plains.

For reference, the children born in these 4 or 5 years are generally much stronger than those in the previous Central Plains.

"According to the list of the North Army, there are 80,000 sheepskins and 30,000 cowhide." Li Yi read out the list from the North Army: "But according to the identification of our personnel, they The number of cattle and sheepskins sent should be more than double the number on the list!"

"It seems that they don't want to owe us!" Li Zhen chuckled: "Send these cattle and sheepskins Go to the factory, let them make clothes for the little children, and then give them to the children in the orphanage to wear!"

"All?" Li Yi asked

"How? , isn't it enough?" Li Xiang thought that Li Yi felt that it was not enough, and continued: "That is because the clothes made are not enough for the children in the orphanage, so I took some out of our combat preparation materials and let every child wear them. New clothes, have a good year.

By the way, give each child five kilograms of mutton, and give me strict control, don't let those worms eat!"

On the Jiuyuan County side, Li Xiang started to create a large number of orphans a few years ago. This is because he saw the war raging in the Central Plains at that time, and because of the war, many children became orphans.

These children are controlled by those beggars named Beggars' Sect and become Beggars' Sect's money-making tools.

So when Li Xiang cleaned up the beggars in Jiuyuan County, he sent the children to the orphanage and handed them over to the headquarters of Xiliang, where the soldiers who were discharged from the army because of their injuries watched.

In his eyes, these little children are all future soldiers, future officials, and future pillars of all walks of life.

Because they were educated by the headquarter of Xiliang, their food and drink were provided by Xiliang, there is no reason to raise a bunch of thankless wretch.

Originally, it was only to take in those orphans from Jiuyuan County, but there were a large number of orphans who ran from the land of Zhongyuan to Jiuyuan County, so these people were placed in the orphanage.

As a result, the number of orphans in Jiuyuan County has exceeded 200,000, which is still the number left after some children were adopted by others.

Li Xiang spends a lot of money on raising these children every year, but he feels it is worth it.

Although it does not have much food and money, it is not a problem to feed these children.

"Enough!" Li Yi hurriedly replied, "But do you want to let the Taoist priest teach his children?"

Li Xiang spent a lot of manpower and material resources on these children, Li Yi didn't want Li Xiang to spend it in vain. To make these children serve Xiliang sincerely, he could only use some small means.

For example, let those monks go to brainwash these children!

Li Xiang was silent for a while: "I don't want it anymore, they eat my food, drink my food, they have no reason to betray Me, right!"

Li Xiang's tone is very uncertain, because the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, you never know what a person's heart is thinking.

Even if Li Xiang can control the life and death of all the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters, but he cannot control these soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters, what are they thinking in their hearts?

Only know that they will not betray themselves, only know that they will be willing to give their lives for themselves.

But that's enough!

"That's all, if you have anything else, come and ask me!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "But if you If it can be solved, then don't bother, I just want to have a good year this year, accompany the mother and the child."

"Understood!" Li Yi said respectfully. Li quit.

Soon, the streets and alleys of Jiuyuan County are full of red lanterns, and now Jiuyuan County can be called the first under the heavens County, because the population of his single county is astounding, reaching 7,000 Thousands of giants.

This population is larger than any county in the Central Plains except the area where Imperial Capital is located.

Imperial Capital is no longer a county, it is like a kingdom built in a city wall.

Because of the Chinese New Year, every household is decorated with lanterns, and the streets and alleys can smell the aroma of meat, beef, mutton, pork, all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, everywhere.

Everyone has a happy smile on their face, and they won't get tired of it for another 100 years, especially in this situation.

Nowadays in the Central Plains, the common people are displaced, not to mention the new year, it is difficult for them to survive this cold winter.

In the winter in this industry, it is very rare for the commoners on the Central Plains to have enough to eat, let alone eat these chickens, ducks and fish.

There is a comparison to be grateful. These people in Jiuyuan County, they all know who brought their life today, so they are grateful for the rule of Li Xia, the king of Xiliang!

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Xiang is a master who only knows how to kill, a villain who destroys everywhere, but in the eyes of these ordinary people in Jiuyuan County, Li Xiang is their god.

Whoever is most grateful to Li Xiang is those civilians who just came over from the Central Plains. They were lucky enough to meet the cargo ship of Xiliang, so they followed the people of Xiliang on the ship. Go to Jiuyuan County, the hidden land of peace and prosperity in the eyes of the common people in the world.

Nowadays, in the eyes of many people, Jiuyuan County is really the same as hidden land of peace and prosperity, especially those businessmen. Everywhere they go, they will promote the goodness of Xiliang and the middle of Jiuyuan County. the life of those civilians.

It makes countless ordinary people yearn for life in Jiuyuan County.

These civilians who have just arrived in Jiuyuan County have not been allocated land for the time being because of the cold winter, so they are arranged to live in a military camp in Xiliang.

With each family as a unit and a township as an area, many problems can be avoided.

These civilians did not expect that they could get so much food and wear such warm clothes when they just came to Jiuyuan County. , very warm.

Even when their family was the most prosperous, they didn't wear such clothes, and the food they ate every day would appear in it.

And they also heard that on New Year's Day, they will give each family a pound of meat!!
