"Chapter 9: The Upcoming Expedition: IV"
When you divide the world into right and wrong, mine and yours, divine and demonic, love becomes conditional. Love has become a slave to external circumstances, no longer a manifestation of your true nature, but a phenomenon that can only happen if someone and something is good.

The three sub-kingdoms of the Hokriku Province of Sado Province and the Shimono Province of the Higashiyama Province, as well as the Hitachi Province of the Tokaido, will be the first targets of the attack of the Yanhuang family who launch a counterattack, and the Date family, which is in a corner of the country, will surely become the first super family to be wiped out by the Yanhuang family.
At that time, the Date family's supremacy in the Higashiyamado will be replaced by the Yanhuang family, which owns the three kingdoms of Mutsu, Shimono, and Hitachi, and the emerging Yanhuang family will replace the destroyed Date family and become a super family among the ten major families of the Yamato Empire!
Before the Yanhuang family and the Uesugi family tear their faces, the Yanhuang family's secret control of the Sado country will be one of the top secrets of the Yanhuang family, so the Sado country in Hokriku Province cannot be counted in the overall strength of the Yanhuang family.
Even so, the Yanhuang family, which owns the land of the Three Kingdoms, is still among the top ten most powerful families in the Yamato Empire, and the Takeda family, Tokugawa family, and Hojo family in Tokaido, and the Ryuzoji family and Otomo family in Saikaido have no more territory than the Yanhuang family.
In terms of the number of countries controlled by the family, the three major families of the Tokaido and the two major families of the West Sea Province are almost the same as the Yanhuang family after the expansion, but in terms of the actual ruling area, the territory of the Yanhuang family is definitely ranked among the top five in the Yamato Empire!
With the exception of the most powerful of the Oda family, the Mori family that ruled San'in and San'in provinces, and the Shimazu family, which dominated Nankaido, no other family ruled as large as the Yanhuang family.
With a vast territory, a huge population, abundant development funds, and the strong support of the city of Rome, the rise of the Yanhuang family has been unstoppable; as long as Bai Feng's expeditionary army lands in the Yamato Empire, the hegemony belonging to the Yanhuang family will officially begin!
As time passed, seeing that December was coming to an end and the new year was approaching, Bai Feng, who knew that once he went to the Yamato Empire, it would be difficult to return in a short period of time, deliberately returned to the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Returning to the Plains Fortress under construction, Bai Feng first issued a thick red envelope to the officers and soldiers of the five armies, including the Spear Legion, the Iron Blood Legion, the Death Battalion, the Cavalry Legion, and the Personal Guard Force, in his own name!
This time, in order to let the soldiers who are loyal to him have a lively New Year, Bai Feng gave each soldier a big red envelope with fifty gold coins!
Officers at all levels, such as squad leaders, squadron leaders, group captains, and wing captains, will increase by fifty gold coins for every level of rank above ordinary officers, and when they reach the level of division commanders and corps commanders, Bai Feng gives them more than just gold coins.
The red envelopes of 1,000 gold coins per person were just Bai Feng's gift to these mainstays, and then Bai Feng took a copy of the title deeds and property certificates from the hands of Auchinleck, the chief civil affairs officer of the three provinces, and handed them to the generals of the various legions.
After half a year of recovery and development, the economies of Lyon, Toulon and Montaine are getting closer and closer to the pre-war level, and the wounds caused by the war are gradually being erased, which also means that the price of land and real estate in the capitals of the three provinces is becoming more and more expensive.
For example, in the capital of Mengdan Province, the price of a normal house is about 100 gold coins, and considering the geographical location, the price fluctuates in the range of about 50 gold coins, while the price of a mansion covering an area of 100 acres will never be lower than 3,000 gold coins.
As for the farms and manors outside Mengdan City, they are all hens that lay golden eggs, and they are simply priceless things, and even if someone will sell the farms or manors he owns, the price of each farm will not be less than five hundred gold coins, and the manors are only high!
Now, Bai Feng gave the division commanders a farm outside the capital city and a capital mansion covering an area of 100 acres, with a total value of about 4,000 gold coins, and the army commanders got a capital manor outside the capital city and a capital mansion covering an area of 200 acres!
The price of the manor may be measured in gold coins, but the capital mansion covering an area of two hundred acres is not something that can be measured by gold coins, because in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, where the upper and lower levels are strictly hierarchical, only high-ranking nobles can live in mansions that cover an area of two hundred acres.
Yes, a mansion covering an area of two hundred acres has gone beyond the concept of a mansion and reached the level of a mansion, and a mansion is not something that the imperial nobles below the earl level can have, which is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of status and status.
Cabitus of the Lance Legion, Ranocchia of the Predator Legion, and Donald of the Cavalry Legion were all Imperial Counts who were canonized by Charlemagne himself, while Fury and Stark of the Death Battalion and Steve, the leader of the 'Green Cavalry' of the Pro-Guard, did not have a knighthood.
According to common sense, they are not qualified to own a mansion-level residence without a high title, but Bai Feng is obviously not a person who strictly abides by the rules of the empire, so the gifts he gave to Fury, Stark, and Steve are at the level of a legion commander.
Fury's father and Stark's brother-in-law is Ames, the Commander of the Hidden Guard, and Steve's father is the Judicial Governor of the Eastern Metropolitan Palace, Count Adonis.
After the red envelopes on the side of the fortress were distributed, Bai Feng rushed to the three provinces of Mengdan, Toulon and Lyon in turn to distribute New Year's red envelopes of the same specifications to the thirteen standing legions and five Eastern Legions officers stationed in the three provinces.
Then, Bai Feng sent people to use space rings to send a large number of red envelopes to the provinces of Pollini and Besançon, where there were soldiers of the six legions under the command of Duke Kleist, and in Besançon, there were soldiers of the six legions under the command of Duke Rundstead.
At the same time, Bai Feng himself used the teleportation array in the White Spirit Ring to come to the border area of the Northern Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and distributed the New Year's red envelopes and land deeds he had prepared to the ordinary soldiers and senior generals of the six legions under the command of Quintus.
Here, Bai Feng not only distributed New Year's red envelopes to Aggis's Roman battalion, Goto Kiji's shogunate battalion, Wenke's Shenji battalion, and Leonardo's five military camps, but even the Tianlong Eight Banners also received red envelopes.
Dolgon, Azig, Alexander, Antico, Dudu, Nikan, Soergo, Subahai and other eight banner masters of the Heavenly Dragon and Eight Banners were even invited by Bai Feng to dinner; at the banquet, Bai Feng used his carrot and stick to beat Dolgon and the other six people.
After making sure that Dolgon and the other six had no dissenting intentions, Bai Feng announced the end of the banquet, and at the same time left Alexander and Antico alone, asking them about the current situation of the two red flags;
