Cui Zhixin is in the ice city on Cuijiagou's side, and it is developing extremely rapidly.

Of course, he is mainly predatory, and his development is naturally rapid.

The territory under his control is also getting bigger and bigger.

The entire territory of the Eastern Slavs has already been conquered by him.

Even the entire territory of the Eastern Slavs will probably succumb to his obscenity.

At the same time, opposite Cuijiagou, the stronghold established by the Family Alliance is also in rapid development.

Behind is a steady stream of support from the Saga Alliance.

Last year, in order to open up the road to the north, the Family Alliance once made a proposal to the emperor.

Their excuse is that they have discovered a large number of minerals in the far north and applied for development.

In this matter, Emperor Li Ke really made it difficult for them.

They had to come up with enough land to allow the Saga Alliance to exploit the minerals.

The emperor's order made the people of the Family Alliance almost have their noses crooked.

This is a mineral that we discovered ourselves, and it is not in the territory of Datang at all, so why should we exchange land?

However, the emperor did not reason with them at all.

If they don't come up with enough land, they won't be able to transport a lot of supplies at all.

In this case, it is even less necessary to develop overseas forces and strongholds.

In the end, the Saga Alliance had no choice but to pinch its nose and admit it.

They gave almost all of the land they had left in exchange for minerals they had discovered overseas.

Well, it was such an excuse that they opened the passage to the north.

So far, the emperor has obtained almost all the land in the hands of the family.

Now the emperor owns a large amount of land.

These lands are all state-owned.

In the future, these lands can be cultivated by the people, but the ownership is always in the hands of the state.

Of course, private ownership of land was not abolished all at once.

Because now it is not only in the hands of the families, which rich people have land in their hands, but even those who have private land in the hands of those people.

In this case, how to abolish it?

Once private ownership of land is abolished, I am afraid that people all over the world will stand up against it.

But now in the hands of Emperor Li Ke, he already has a lot of land.

In addition, the land can be reclaimed slowly in the future.

As long as the imperial court has enough land in its hands, it is not afraid of creating too many problems on the land.

And an empire, as long as it does not cause big problems in the land, it is really difficult to perish.

Well, of course, except for the Song Dynasty.

And for the Maison, they finally opened the passage to the north.

This makes it a reality for them to build their country overseas.

Even, they can build a super-large-scale country, not even smaller than Datang.

After a few generations, they can even turn around and attack the Tang Dynasty, turning the Central Plains, a large piece of fertile land, into their back garden.

Having done this means a lot to them.

It's a win-win situation.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything.

In fact, both sides are dissatisfied.

For Tang Emperor Li Ke, although a large amount of land in the hands of the family was reclaimed.

But then, the Maisons will ship all the wealth they have accumulated over the centuries overseas.

And these riches originally belonged to Datang.

Now it is equivalent to transferring the wealth of Datang to the outside.

In Li Ke's heart, if he didn't mind at all, it would be absolutely impossible.

However, the lesser of two evils is chosen.

Compared to the harm of the family, this idea of wealth is nothing.

For the family, they lost almost all of their land in Datang.

For them, this is also an unbearable loss.

But for the sake of overseas development, all this is worth it.

……

The overseas base of the Saga Alliance has developed extremely rapidly.

The transport channel was opened.

The route here is long, but the road is clear.

The fleet of the Saga Alliance can continuously transport material resources.

The speed of transportation is more convenient than taking the sea route.

Because, the transportation channel here not only has a shorter transportation time.

And you don't have to be controlled by others.

In terms of the afterlife, the family alliance has a huge heritage, and some technical talents are naturally not lacking.

And labor, directly with those Eastern Slavs.

Therefore, in just one year, they have established a huge base in the northern part of the Golden State, opposite Cuijiagou.

At present, the base's endurance has reached 500,000 people.

Among so many people, in fact, there are only a hundred thousand people in the Family Alliance.

The East Slavs, who were forcibly relocated by them, numbered more than 300,000.

In just one year, the speed of their development is simply explosive.

Of course, because the development is too fast, there are still sequelae.

For example, now the population of the Eastern Slavs has far exceeded them.

In the event of a rebellion among the Eastern Slavs, there may be a great upheaval.

So, recently, they had to slow down the momentum of the plunder.

At the same time, it is also constantly integrating and integrating the two major nationalities.

As much as possible, they treated the Eastern Slavs and the Tang people equally.

It is estimated that they intermarry with each other.

This is already being implemented, of course, more often, it is a man from the Tang Dynasty, a woman who marries an Eastern Slav.

It is estimated that because of the constant wars between the tribes of the Eastern Slavs, there were few men and many women.

And those East Slavic women are not averse to marrying a Tang man.

Also, when these Eastern Slavs were asked to work as coolies, they also tried to give them the remuneration they deserved.

The people of the Family Alliance are not stupid.

These Eastern Slavs they plundered were not a one-shot deal.

It's not the war that makes them cannon fodder.

These people will be their people in the future.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, of course, they should try their best to win them over.

But now, for them, the Eastern Slavs are still a little too much.

It's more than twice as many as them, and this number is already very dangerous.

And in the later period, their number, in a short period of time, is unlikely to increase in large numbers.

A large part of their manpower in Datang was in the first batch to support the earliest stronghold in the Golden State.

Their population can only grow by natural reproduction.

But such growth will take time.

Even if a person gives birth to three or four a year, of course, it is born to multiple wives, not three or four by one wife.

It can make the population explode in a short period of time.

But it takes time for the child to grow up.

Far water does not quench the thirst of the near.

Therefore, these people from the family alliance are thinking of introducing third-party forces.

That is, the aborigines of the Golden State.

These people, the perception of the aborigines of the Golden State, is still quite good.

Which of the aborigines of the Golden State, intelligent, optimistic, kind.

I've been in contact with them for a long time, and everyone likes them very much, and I make friends with them.

Moreover, the model of Huaxia City is enough to prove.

These aborigines are actually very easy to woo.

As long as you give them enough respect and benefits, you can draw them into your camp.

If, their stronghold, there are hundreds of thousands more aborigines.

When the time comes, it will be possible to continue plundering which Eastern Slavs.

In this way, their stronghold will continue to snowball and continue to grow and develop.

That's what they intended, and that's what they did.

And, in the early days, they achieved very good results.

They fought Huaxia City and recruited some aborigines to work in them.

In the early stages, they required a lot of construction and a lot of labor.

These can provide them with a lot of jobs.

And the benefits they give are the same as those in Huaxia City.

And this area, far from Huaxia City, after all, is still a little remote.

Of course, some people here work in Huaxia City, but after all, they are a minority.

After all, the distance is too far, and it takes too long to come and go.

And now, there are opportunities to work at their doorstep, and the benefits are not bad.

For those Indigenous peoples, it was an absolute bonus.

Therefore, in a short period of time, more than 100,000 aborigines have joined in.

Such a development made the people of the Family Alliance overjoyed.

It turns out that it's that simple.

Their territory is constantly expanding.

And the follow-up resources are also continuously transported.

These materials, less than half of them, came from the family alliance of Datang.

The rest, basically, are plundered from which Eastern Slavs.

Otherwise, with the resources of the Saga Alliance alone, it may be really difficult to support this snowballing construction.

Of course, they will also transport some local specialties and some minerals back to Datang in exchange for certain resources.

Even if it is construction, it is impossible to put in without the slightest output.

If this is the case, how can sustainable development be guaranteed?

They learned in depth the concept of the creation of Huaxia City.

At the time of the payment of wages to the East Slavs and the aborigines, then factories were built, shopping malls were built.

Find a way to earn back the money in their hands.

In this way, if you let the money circulate, you can invigorate the economy.

And through practice, this method is really feasible.

I have to say that Li Su, the king of Shu, is a genius.

However, recently, the development of the Maison Alliance has also encountered a bottleneck.

They developed unusually fast, and they occupied large tracts of land.

Their territory has expanded to a radius of 500 miles.

At the moment, they are continuing to expand.

When they expand to a thousand miles, they will be able to open a passage to their original stronghold.

When the time comes, here and their originally designed stronghold, and Datang in the past few days, can form a perfect circulation.

At any point, their development will be further accelerated.

But just now, they're in some trouble.

That is, in front of them, there were tribes of aborigines.

Sooner or later, they will encounter this kind of problem.

After all, this was originally the territory of the indigenous people.

The tribes of these indigenous people are very unevenly divided.

Between tribes and tribes, there will be a big gap.

And whether it is them, or Huaxia City, they are all established in this gap.

At present, for Huaxia City, their development has also fallen into this predicament.

If you expand outward, you will inevitably have conflicts with the tribes of the indigenous people.

In the past, Huaxia City appeared with a kind face.

Encountering this kind of thing, Huaxia City actually stopped their expansion action.

They would rather slowly absorb their existing territory than continue to expand outward.

And Huaxia City can wait, but the Family Alliance can't wait.

First, Huaxia City occupies the central position.

Not only can it absorb the aborigines from all over the world, but it also establishes tourist attractions and attracts a large number of tourists.

Now, I heard that it has established trade relations with the Eastern Romans in the East.

Even if Huaxia City stops expanding, it will build on the original territory.

In ten years, they can turn their existing territory into a monolith.

When the time comes, I will continue to expand outward, and I will not eat.

But for the Saga Alliance, their current stronghold is only in the northernmost part of the Golden State, in a corner of the country.

There's simply no value in putting a lot of effort into it.

What they need to do now is to expand as quickly as possible.

They must open the middle passage as soon as possible in order to compete with the stronghold they had originally established.

Of course, in fact, they didn't want to go against the aborigines so quickly.

After all, there are a lot of indigenous people in this land.

If you are an enemy of them, it will be difficult to carry out all kinds of things in the future.

This kind of thing, if it can be resolved peacefully, is a very good thing.

Next, they began to negotiate with which indigenous peoples.

They tried to bring the indigenous peoples under their rule in a peaceful way.

At this time, the family alliance really wanted to solve the problem peacefully.

This is their first attack, and if it can be solved smoothly, it will be much easier to carry out later.

Therefore, they only need which natives, acknowledging their rule, in big things, need to obey their orders.

They will only have to pay a small amount of taxes each year, and they will also receive some privileges.

In the eyes of the Saga Alliance, such an offer is already very sincere.

However, in the end, they were rejected by Duan Ran, who was the aborigines.

If Li was here, he would probably laugh at them, but he really didn't know these aborigines.

If the aborigines were so easily subservient to people, he would have expanded outward a long time ago, so why wait until now?

The first step actually failed, which greatly annoyed the Saga Alliance.

But for the sake of their great cause, they had to take a second step of the plan.

The second plan was to decide to compensate the indigenous people so that they would give up their territory and move elsewhere.

In this way, they are bound to increase their consumption.

But as long as the problem can be resolved peacefully, they are not willing to start a war.

But in the end, their proposal was categorically rejected by the aborigines.

They have lived here for generations, you are just outsiders, and we have not pushed you away, which is already the greatest kindness.

And now you're trying to get rid of us?

Why?

Which aborigines, categorically rejected the proposal of the family alliance.

At this time, the Saga Alliance finally couldn't help it.

Are these aborigines all in the water in their heads?

Can't you see the situation clearly?

Now that you're in our way, we're going to take over here.

The situation is not as good as people, and if you see it, you can get it.

In the end, aren't you the ones who suffer?

These aborigines, who look quite smart, how can they be so stupid?

Well, that's exactly what the Saga Alliance doesn't know.

These aborigines, on matters of principle, will never compromise.

Otherwise, they would not have been exterminated in their original historical trajectory.

The Saga Alliance will naturally not stop the pace of their expansion.

In the following time, they launched a surprise attack on the aborigines.

Of course, in their initial planning.

I didn't think too much about it.

It's not that they are merciful, but that if they kill too much, they are afraid of causing resistance from all the natives.

When the time comes, it will really be detrimental to their expansion here.

However, what they never expected was the stubborn resistance of the aborigines.

Which aborigines, the physical fitness is very good, and the battle is extremely tenacious, and they are not afraid of death.

This made the armies of those family alliances, under the light enemy, actually suffer a big loss.

They were subjected to a frantic counterattack, resulting in heavy casualties for their army.

In the end, the army of the Saga Alliance was completely enraged.

They have an advantage in weapons and an absolute superiority in numbers.

They carried out a bloody repression against those aborigines.

The entire tribe of natives, all the men, were slaughtered by them.

Which old people are not immune.

The woman and the child were all escorted back.

These women will be sent to the market to be sold.

They will be bought as slaves, as fertility machines.

The wealth of this tribe naturally fell into the hands of the Family Alliance.

In this battle, although they lost some manpower, the gains were also incomparably huge.

They took the land, gained many women and children, and also gained a fortune.

However, the people of the family alliance did not have joy on their faces.

This kind of thing is actually the last thing they want to see.

This massacre means that the relationship between them and the aborigines has completely deteriorated.

It is extremely detrimental to their future expansion.

However, this is also a last resort for them.

Which aborigines are so stupid and so stubborn, what should they do?

The impact of this incident is very far-reaching.

The aborigines who originally worked for the Family Alliance left with extremely hateful eyes.

All of a sudden, there were more than 100,000 fewer people.

The speed of their construction immediately slowed down.

And, even more terrifyingly, the aborigines cut off all business with them.

The Saga Alliance has only been here for a short year.

Although they also sorted out some land.

But the first year, their harvest was not too good.

Here they are, again, too many people.

This also led to a serious shortage of their food.

Before that, they bought a lot of grain from the aborigines.

And after the massacre of a tribe, they could not collect a single grain from the aborigines.

They had to transport grain from Datang, from the side of Bingcheng, to here.

And the food problem is just the beginning.

Because all the aborigines left, the aborigines stopped all business with them.

This directly led to the complete sluggishness of the business of the Saga Alliance.

They could only rely on their own internal population, and the volume of transactions plummeted all at once.

Business is sluggish, and the factories they open are overproduced, so they don't need as many workers.

If there are not so many workers, which workers will face the problem of being laid off.

And these workers all have mortgages.

The way all this works, they all learned from Huaxia City.

They have to find a new job.

Fortunately, now they are in the midst of a construction frenzy, and they don't have to worry about finding a job.

But the problem is that the basis of their business, their potential customers, is the indigenous people.

Now they have lost these customers, and their construction is just a waterless ping.

Their development will lose its vitality and roots.

They were going to build a huge empire.

Naturally, it is impossible for all construction resources to be transported from Datang.

The accumulation of the family is very impressive.

But it is not enough to support such consumption.

If their base here can't operate automatically and create value.

Then, it won't be long before their country collapses on its own.

These people of the Family Alliance, before starting the war, did not think of it at all.

They just started a war, and in the end, they were dragged into such a crisis.

If they could have foreseen the seriousness of the matter, they would have thought about it carefully.

But now, the war has been waged, the wood has been done, the consequences have been done, and everything is irreversible.

Now, the people of the Saga Alliance are faced with a difficult choice.

The first choice was to find a way to mend relations with the indigenous people and try to restore business with them.

But then they won't be able to continue to expand outward.

The second way is to stop doing nothing.

Aren't the natives already at war with them?

No more selling them grain, no more doing business with them?

In that case, whatever is simply evil, it will be evil to the end.

Well, you natives, don't you sell us grain?

If we simply do it, let's just grab it!

Grab your men and let them do coolies.

Your women, sell them and let them multiply.

Your children, after they are raised, continue to work as coolies.

After setting this tone, the people of the Family Alliance began to formulate a battle plan for which aborigines in the vicinity.

Not only did they have to attack, but they also had to reduce their own casualties, and they couldn't let them run away.
