People are like that, if they continue to live the life of slaves, they will still swallow their anger and suffer in silence until they die. But when they have tasted the sweetness of a superior life, and if someone wants to turn them into slaves, they will rise up and even die with those who have deprived them of their good life.

Human nature is like this, as long as they have a dream in their hearts, they can give everything they can to fight for it, so it is not surprising that there are so many Monte herdsmen to keep Fang Xiaoyu.

In addition to being surprised, various powerful countries expressed their doubts about this action to retain Fang Xiaoyu, and the newspapers supporting both sides fought one after another, and the first public opinion war in the world began.

However, this public opinion war did not last long, because Fang Xiaoyu suddenly announced that he would implement a referendum in the area of the Monte Empire occupied by the Chinese Territory to determine the local ownership, and at the same time invited the countries of the Western Continent to send people to supervise together with the two major powers of the New World.

Although both Monte regimes are strongly opposed, the Chinese Collar has already made it clear that if the people's will is to return to the Monte Empire, the Chinese Collar will immediately withdraw its troops, but will take away the herdsmen who are willing to join the Chinese Empire.

If the result of the referendum is to join the Chinese Domain, then the Chinese Consulate will establish a government here, and whoever tries to stop it will be considered as an invasion of the Chinese Territory, and the Chinese Consulate will make the aggressor pay a terrible price.

As soon as this statement was issued, all countries agreed one after another, after all, people have already made concessions, and if they push people too much, the navy and army of the Chinese territory will not be soft persimmons, and whoever dares to come forward will be unlucky first.

Of course, for fear of the Chinese collars, the Saar Empire, the Nantes Empire, the Cossack Empire, the Yaman Empire, the Habuafsburg Kingdom, the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, the Serro Kingdom, the Boston Empire, the St. Martin Empire, and even the Lanfang Empire all sent supervision delegations.

Under the close supervision of these delegations, a referendum was held throughout the occupied Chinese territory.

The entire voting, counting and counting work was done under the supervision of the delegation, and there was no chance of cheating, but the results surprised them, 97% of all the voters voted to join the Chinese collar.

The overseers had nothing to say, and although both the royal family of Monte and Bayange declared that they would not recognize the result, it did not matter anymore, and the county of Dongmon was quickly established, officials and police began to enter, and new construction work began in all but the fortress complex in the border area.

After some of the ditches were backfilled, the remaining ditches were renovated and transformed from blockade ditches into reservoirs and diversion canals, diverting water from the Songjiang River basin under the Chinese leadership and several relatively large rivers in Monte, which greatly improved the hydraulic situation of the entire Dongmeng County.

As for the forts, which were used as offices and local militia garrisons, villages and towns were built, and although some loyal to the Monte Empire chose to leave, most remained.

Fang Xiaoyu has excellent livestock breeds such as beef cattle, dairy cows and sheep, which are hundreds of times stronger than the existing breeds. When the herdsmen received these unusually sturdy livestock cubs for free, they were very surprised, and they couldn't imagine that the Chinese collar, which had never developed animal husbandry on a large scale, actually had such a good breed of livestock.

Fang Xiaoyu is well aware of the harm of grazing to the grassland, so he used the excellent forage seeds in his hands to improve the pasture, and on the other hand, changed the grazing method of the herdsmen living with water and grass to an intensive factory captive breeding method.

Of course, there are some things that have to be free-range, such as horses. The horses used by the Chinese Collar have always been imported from Tubo County, which occupies a large amount of military expenditure of the Chinese Collar every year.

These expenses are not the main reason why Fang Xiaoyu is determined to raise his own horses, after all, Fang Xiaoyu has always been not short of money, but the adaptation of horses to the climate is a big problem.

Tubo County has a plateau climate, although the air is a little thin, the climate is like spring all year round, and the horses they raise are obviously very suitable for this climate. The combat environment of the Chinese Collar is ever-changing, which makes these horses a little uncomfortable.

The greatest threat to the Chinese on land was the Cossack Empire from the north. In the last battle against the Cossack Empire, a large number of horses and pack horses imported from Tubo County were used for logistical transportation.

At first, the horses responded quite well, allowing the Chinese leaders to transport smoothly, but in the winter, the outdoor temperature in the north dropped below minus 30 degrees. The temperature was so low that the horses from Tubo County were obviously unadaptable, and even fell ill and died.

The horses' unadaptability to the climate once affected the progress of supplying materials to those new settlements, and the most difficult thing was that Fang Xiaoyu urgently transported a batch of quilts from the Fang family's major textile factories to keep the horses warm before the horses were barely usable.

This incident made Fang Xiaoyu pay attention, he knew very well in his heart that the Chinese Collar and the Cossack Empire had formed a mortal enmity, and unless there was a huge disparity in the national strength of the two countries, there would definitely be a battle of life and death in the future.

Modern warfare is more and more dependent on logistics, although the railway transportation of the Chinese Collar is developed, but there is no railway within the Cossack Empire, Fang Xiaoyu has always been a person who advocates defense and counterattack, defense can rely on railways, and counterattacks can only rely on horses.

If the weather is cold during the counterattack, the horses that cannot adapt will seriously affect the logistics and even cause the defeat of the own battle. With such a serious problem, Fang Xiaoyu naturally wants to solve it as soon as possible, but the Chinese Collar has never had a piece of horse farmland, so this proposal has been shelved.

Now with Dongmeng County, everything has taken a turn for the better. Fang Xiaoyu not only obtained a high-quality horse breeding land, but also obtained a group of herdsmen with rich nomadic experience.

With enough convenient conditions, Fang Xiaoyu began to set up a military horse farm in Dongmeng County, in terms of breeding military horses, Fang Xiaoyu has a greater advantage than Wang Xuan, who is proficient in horse breeding, in Xiaofeng's chip research and the support of the agricultural equipment library, breeding and selection has become quite simple.

The Tubo horse imported from Wang Xuan was already a very good breed, Fang Xiaoyu asked Xiaofeng to use the Tubo horse as the base, and crossed it with the Monte horse, which was known for its endurance, which grew in the north, and the Don Hippopotamus of the Cossack Empire, which was known for its cold tolerance, and soon produced the Chinese horse line that set the advantages of all horse breeds.

After the optimization of the chip, the Chinese horse line was successfully cultivated in only half a month. This breed is quite complete, and the horses bred are not only more hardy, but also more durable than Monte horses.

In addition, the cavalry of the Chinese horse system rode at a speed comparable to that of the Tibetan horse, but the load-bearing capacity of the horse and pack horse was 20% higher. With the cultivation of this high-quality horse line, Fang Xiaoyu believes that in two years, when the horse cubs grow up, his cavalry and field logistics capabilities will be on a higher level.

With its own military horse farm, horses from Tubo County also had to be purchased, and although these horses were not hardy, they were still very suitable for use in the Saint-Martin Empire.

With these horses, Qiu Yu'an's actions in the Saint Martin Empire will be even faster, and even if the rebellion of the Saint Martin Empire ends, Fang Xiaoyu has no intention of withdrawing his troops, and the more his territory, the better.

In addition to the Tubo horse suitable for the San Martin Empire, it is also very necessary to maintain economic and trade relations with Tubo County, with such economic cooperation, the relationship between the two territories will become closer, and such an ally is very important for Fang Xiaoyu's development in the country.

In what is now Dongmeng County, there is a fixed way of life, these herdsmen have built settlements, breeding farms, and military horse factories based on the fortress, and they not only live in warm brick houses but also use electricity, and their quality of life has been greatly improved.

In the following years, railways and highways quickly opened into the grasslands, and meat and dairy processing factories were quickly established on both sides of the railways.

It was only then that they realized how correct their decision was, and those who left regretted it in the days to come, until they had the opportunity to join the Chinese Collar again.

The establishment of Dongmeng County made the two parties in Monte aware of the danger of splitting, and Marshal Bayang immediately negotiated with the royal family, and the two sides agreed that the western part of Monte would still be occupied by the Monte royal family, and the central part would be the Central Mongolian Autonomous Region by Marshal Bayanga.

The situation in the Monte Empire quickly stabilized, much to the regret of the Cossack Empire, which had not yet been prepared, and Alexander III, who had learned the hard way, was even more concerned about the main artery of the railway that crossed the country.

After mobilizing a large amount of money and borrowing money from the Nantes Empire, the Cossack Empire purchased railroad construction technology from the Saar Empire and accelerated the construction of the railway, hoping to enter the Eastern Continent as soon as possible and completely change the transportation situation of the Cossack Empire in the East.

The affairs of the Monte Empire are over, but the war within the Empire of San Martín is still in full swing. Although Qiu Yu'an's troops marched all the way, their numbers were too small after all, and the territory of the St. Martin Empire was too large.

As they advanced to the Amazon River, one hundred and twenty kilometers from the capital, Santa Maria, the offensive was finally interrupted.

The rebels also knew that the road had reached a critical moment, and they put their most elite troops in this line of defense to resist desperately, and Qiu Yu'an didn't want to relieve the siege of the capital of the St. Martin Empire so quickly, he just took the excuse to stop, while grasping to consolidate the territory, while building a defense line across the river, a picture of confrontation across the river.
