Zhou Rui was very happy to learn that the Renaissance Foundation agreed to establish a country of the fox, cat, and rabbit tribes on Nuoan Island, and immediately assured Svia, the president of the Renaissance Foundation, that after the fox, cat, and rabbit tribes announced the establishment of the country on Nuoan Island, the Zhou family was willing to protect them militarily.

Zhou Rui's promise is exactly what the Renaissance Foundation wants, and because of this, the Renaissance Foundation is willing to pay the Zhou family 95,000 tons of gold or property equivalent to 95,000 tons of gold in exchange for the barren land of Nuoan Island.

Of course, just by buying Noan Island, the fox clan, the cat clan, and the rabbit clan will not be able to declare the founding of the country immediately, and then these three clans will have to find a way to control the ferocious beasts that are rampant on Noan Island.

Since the Zhou family signed an armistice agreement with the five countries of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopard, the human beings in these five countries, as well as the fox people, cat people, and rabbit people, have begun to continuously emigrate to the Zhou family's feudal towns, and the number is so large that it is simply jaw-dropping.

The choice of human beings to immigrate within the five countries is inseparable from the instigation of these five beast countries, and it is even a little semi-coercive.

The lesson of the Wild Bull Empire made these five beast countries rather lose hundreds of millions of cheap labor than reduce the number of humans in their own countries.

The fox people, cat people, and rabbit people choose to immigrate to the Zhou family's territory, and most of them are arranged by the Renaissance Foundation, and these fox people, cat people, and rabbit people will eventually set off again and rush to Nuo'an Island, which is lonely overseas.

Time flies, and the time soon came to May of 1549, and it was three years since the Zhou family signed an armistice agreement with the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard.

In the past three years, there have been about 850 million humans who have immigrated from the five countries of Golden Lion, Red Tiger, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, and Flying Leopard to the various feudal towns of the Zhou family, and at this time, there are not many humans left in these five beast countries, maybe not even 30 million, mainly distributed in the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire.

Because of the semi-compulsory immigration policies promulgated by the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear, it is almost impossible to see human traces in these three orc countries.

After the Silver Wolf Empire exchanged Noan Island for 48 warships, it soon broke out into another war with the Flying Leopard Empire that lasted for more than a year.

The Silver Wolf Empire saw that the main forces of the Royal Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire in the New World were almost wiped out by the Zhou family's naval fleet, so they were ready to take a plunge against the Flying Leopard Empire.

As for the alliance between the two beast countries before, not to mention that the Silver Wolf Empire didn't care, even the Flying Leopard Empire didn't take it seriously.

The reason why these two contradictory beast countries formed an alliance was entirely to carve up the territory of the Zhou family, and now that they had signed an armistice agreement with the Zhou family, the alliance between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire had become a blank slate.

In the early days of this war, the Silver Wolf Empire achieved some advantages, but with the full mobilization of the Flying Leopard Empire for this war, the advantages of the Silver Wolf Empire disappeared little by little.

The war between the two orc nations did not end until the end of 1547, and both sides paid a considerable price in this war, but in the end, neither took advantage.

Although the immigration policies of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire for humans are not as domineering as those of the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear, because of this war, a large number of humans in the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have chosen to leave their homeland and immigrate to various feudal towns of the Zhou family.

After three years of immigration, the total number of fox people, cat people and rabbit people on Noan Island exceeded 20 million, and on January 1, 1549, the establishment of the Noan Kingdom was officially announced, and Svia, the president of the Revival Foundation, became the first king of the Noan Kingdom.

Red Tiger, Black Bear and other beast countries, although they are a little annoyed by the establishment of the Nuoan Kingdom, but because the Zhou family announced to the outside world that they will provide military protection to the Nuoan Kingdom, these beast countries can only choose to acquiesce.

In the past three years, in addition to the war between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, which did not distinguish between winners and losers, four wars have also broken out.

Among them, there were two wars involving the Zhou family, namely the war between the Zhou family and the Lu Wei Empire, and the war between the Zhou family and the Dongyue Empire.

The Lu Wei Empire was located west of the former Tuban Empire, with a land area of about 5.5 million square kilometers and a population of about 200 million.

The Dongyue Empire, located in the southeast of the former Baji Empire, had a land area of about 4.7 million square kilometers and a population of about 150 million.

The Lu Wei Empire and the Dongyue Empire, like the Han and Tang Empires, were in a situation of feudal separation.

The reason why the Zhou family broke out into war with these two human countries was actually completely provoked by the Zhou family, because the lottery system issued two tasks to Zhou Rui: "annexation of the Luwei Empire" and "annexation of the Dongyue Empire".

In mid-February 1547, the Zhou family brazenly launched an attack on the Lu Wei Empire, and half a year later, the entire territory of the Lu Wei Empire was occupied by the Zhou family.

Immediately, the Lu Wei Empire was divided into five new feudal towns by Zhou Rui, namely Qianzhou Town, Pizhou Town, Meizhou Town, Wanzhou Town and Yongzhou Town, and these five new feudal towns were divided into Wanzhou Military Region, which became the seventh military region of the Han and Tang Empire Frontier Guards.

At the beginning of January 1548, the Zhou family sent troops to the Dongyue Empire, and after seven months of fierce battles, the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires captured the entire territory of the Dongyue Empire.

The Dongyue Empire was then divided into five new feudal towns, namely Qiongzhou, Suzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou, and Yunzhou.

Qiongzhou Town, Suzhou Town, Yanzhou Town, Yizhou Town and Yunzhou Town were assigned by Zhou Rui to the eighth military region of the Han and Tang Empire border guards - Qiongzhou Military Region.

After completing these two tasks of the lottery system, the lottery system rewarded Zhou Rui with two five-star lottery cards, which increased Zhou Rui's points in the lottery system by 100 points, becoming 340/400, only 60 points short, and Zhou Rui's level in the lottery system can be promoted to level four.

After the two five-star lottery cards were used by Zhou Rui, they both offered very generous rewards.

Only 100 kilograms of gold bricks, two five-star lottery cards added up to 800,000 pieces, and 7 million 100 kilograms of silver bricks.

These 800,000 gold bricks and 7 million silver bricks are equivalent to 15 billion silver coins.

The other two five-star lottery cards also issued 10 billion bags of rice and 10 billion bags of flour, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment for the navy, army and air force.

Soon after the Zhou family conquered the Dongyue Empire, the towns of Lechang, Longnan, Anlu, Dongling and Puxing in the southeast of the Han and Tang Empires also followed the example of the five northwestern towns of the Han and Tang Empires and chose to change banners.

This allowed the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires to add a ninth military region - the Longnan Military Region.

The five feudal towns in the southeast region, like the five feudal envoys in the northwest, each received a pension of 300 million silver coins.

Coupled with the cost of buying some division-level and brigade-level officers of the Southeast Army, the Zhou family only spent less than 3 billion silver coins to pocket the five southeastern towns.

As for the other two wars in these three years, they were the war between Shuodong Town of the Han and Tang Empires to annex the Xiao Han Empire, and the war between the Liang Yan Empire and the Wanyue Empire.

The Hsiao-Han Empire, located east of the town of Shuodong, had a land area of about 1.3 million square kilometers and a population of about 40 million.

Several separatist forces in the Xiao Han Empire originally had a close relationship with the Barbarian Bull Empire.

After the Barbarian Bull Empire was driven back to the beast world by the Zhou family, several separatist forces of the Xiao Han Empire suddenly lost their sources of funds and weapons.

Shuodong Jiedu made Xue Daoquan control not only Shuodong Town, but also Yongwei Town in the northeast region.

Seeing that the power of the Barbarian Bull Empire was completely eliminated from this world, Shuodong Jiedu made Xue Daoquan immediately set his eyes on the Xiao Han Empire.

Just when the Zhou family sent troops to the Lu Wei Empire, Xue Daoquan, the envoy of Shuodong Jiedu, ordered the Shuodong army to invade the territory of the Xiao Han Empire.

Although several separatist forces of the Xiao Han Empire soon united and began to resist the invasion of the Shuo Dong Army, it took about a year for the Shuo Dong Army to successfully annex the Xiao Han Empire.

Subsequently, Shuodong Jiedu made Xue Daoquan divide the Xiao Han Empire into Xiaozhou Town and Hanzhou Town.

Now there are only four forces left in the Han and Tang Empires, the strongest of which is the Zhou family, and the strength between the court of the Han and Tang Empires and Shuodong Town should not be much different, especially after the Shuodong Army annexed the Xiao Han Empire.

Among the four forces, the weakest is Shuonan Town, but the navy of Shuonan Town can completely destroy the navy of the imperial court and Shuodong Town, of course, it cannot be compared with the Zhou family's Han and Tang Empire border fleet.

The Wanyue Empire is located west of the Lu Wei Empire and the Dongyue Empire, and east of the Liang Yan Empire, with a land area of about 3 million square kilometers and a population of about 100 million.

Fan Yi, the emperor of the Liang Yan Empire, couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that the Zhou family had launched an attack on the Lu Wei Empire for no reason.

Although the alliance between the Zhou family and the Liang Yan Empire still exists, the Zhou family has now become a behemoth that the Liang Yan Empire needs to look up to.

And when the Zhou family annexed the Lu Wei Empire and launched an attack on the Dongyue Empire, Fan Yi, the emperor of the Liang Yan Empire, could no longer sit still, and immediately ordered the Liang Yan army to attack the Wanyue Empire.

Not long after the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires captured the entire territory of the Dongyue Empire, the Liang Yan army also conquered the last city of the Wanyue Empire.

In this way, the territory of the Zhou family is equivalent to bordering the Liang Yan Empire.

At present, in the Eastern Continent, in addition to the Han and Tang Empires and the Liang Yan Empire, there are only three human countries left, the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire.

These three human states are all located north of the former Tuban Empire, which covers an area of about 8 million square kilometers and has a population of 300 million.

The land area of the Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire is about 6 million square kilometers, with the former having a population of about 280 million and the latter having a population of about 250 million.

The Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire once belonged to one country and later split into two states.

On the afternoon of May 5, 1549, Zhou Xiaorong, commander of the Fengwu Military Region, reported to Zhou Rui at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Frontier Army in Ganyang City: "Marshal, at present, the personnel and weapons and equipment of the 130 group armies and 700 garrison brigades of the nine military regions have all been reorganized.

Will the army need to add new army groups or garrison brigades in the future? ”

Because there were three more military regions, Zhou Rui added 30 group armies and 200 garrison brigades to the army units of the border guards of the Han and Tang Empires.

Zhou Xiaorong, as Zhou Rui's most trusted general, was appointed by Zhou Rui as the commander of the Fengwu Military Region.

Zhou Rui nodded, "The current army size of the border guards, even if it starts a war with those five beast countries at the same time, it should be enough, so let's do it for the time being!"

By the way, have there been any new movements in those five orc countries recently? ”

After the end of the war between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, under the leadership of the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire, the five beast countries re-established a military alliance, but this time the military alliance did not have the participation of the Barbarian Bull Empire.

In fact, the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire also invited the Wild Bull Empire, but they were rejected by the Wild Bull Empire.

"Marshal, according to the information obtained by the 'Ghost Shadow', the five beast countries have been in very frequent contact with some forces of the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire and the Eastern Qin Empire recently, and have provided a lot of army weapons and equipment to these forces free of charge."

Zhou Rui sneered and said, "Could it be that those five beast nations think that the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire will bring any trouble to our Zhou family?"

Second uncle, do you think our Zhou family should annex the three countries in the north?

Combined, these three countries have 20 million square kilometers of land! ”

"Great Shuai, now those five beast countries, especially the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Black Bear Empire, after several years of development, whether it is the army, navy, or air force, their strength has become very strong.

When our Zhou family attacked the Luwei Empire and the Dongyue Empire, the five orc countries all expressed strong protests, if it weren't for the war between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire, those five orc countries would have to send troops to intervene.

Now that the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire have recuperated after more than a year, if our Zhou family wants to continue to expand northward, I am afraid that those five beast countries will no longer sit idly by. ”

The five kingdoms of the Golden Lion, the Red Tiger, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, and the Flying Leopard have legally looted huge amounts of wealth through some laws and regulations in the process of immigration of humans, fox people, cat people, and rabbit people.

Taking advantage of the huge wealth looted, these five beast countries, especially the Golden Lion, Red Tiger, and Black Bear Three Kingdoms, have been constantly expanding their armaments.

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "Since our Zhou family was able to defeat the Six ** Things Alliance at the beginning, then now we can still defeat the so-called Five ** Things Alliance."

Of course, the annexation of the Qi'an, Western and Eastern Qin empires is not a simple matter, and I am not prepared to continue to expand northward until the Han and Tang empires are unified. ”

"Dashuai, according to the information obtained by the 'ghost shadow', it seems that the Liang Yan Empire has recently been in contact with some forces of the Qi'an Empire, the Western Qin Empire, and the Eastern Qin Empire."

"Let the 'ghost' strengthen the intelligence work in this area, this ally of ours seems to be a little dishonest."
