"Your Majesty Xie is considerate of the people in Hubei, and I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the people here."

Hearing that Ning Yuan was relieved, Simone was overjoyed, and in order to show his gratitude to Ning Yuan, he bowed ninety degrees to Ning Yuan respectfully.

After accepting Simone's salute in a grand manner, Ning Yuan's words suddenly changed and said, "Simone, you may have misunderstood what I meant.

Although I am willing to give the people here a chance for your sake, I have no guarantee that they will survive.

You can hear clearly, I have given them a chance, and whether they will survive in the end depends on their own choices and creations. ”

Hearing Ning Yuan's words, Simone's face suddenly froze, if Ning Yuan was not a high-ranking king, he really wanted to rush over and teach this bastard boy with no accurate mouth a good lesson.

However, when he thought that the lives of the thousands of people in Hubei were in Ning Yuan's hands, and their lives and deaths were all in Ning Yuan's thoughts, he could only forcibly suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and continue to grovel.

After quickly adjusting his facial expression, Simeone forced out a smile and asked respectfully, "Then I don't know what kind of opportunity Your Majesty is referring to?" If His Majesty could help Simeone, Simeone would be grateful. ”

Seeing that Simone really had the mercy and sacrificial spirit of a knight as he expected, and was willing to wronged himself in order to save those innocent people, Ning Yuan suddenly smiled slightly and said, "I am going to make a decision in the Hubei region, so this place will definitely become a barren."

If the people here were acquainted, then I could show them a clear path to freedom from the war and a worry-free life from now on. ”

As he spoke, Ning Yuan pointed his arm to the east.

Following the direction of Ning Yuan's finger, Simone and the others all involuntarily looked to the east, but they couldn't see anything except the blue sky and white clouds and the mountains in the distance.

"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

After figuring out Ning Yuan's intentions, Simone bowed down again, hoping that Ning Yuan could give them a clear answer.

"Go east, go east, and whether it is a mountain or a river that stands in your way, do not look back, and continue to go east.

When you come to a fertile but overgrown land, you can have a new life.

That fertile land is the only way I have prepared for you, and once you get there, you are free to choose an ownerless land and settle down.

By the way, it's just sparsely populated, not really deserted.

When you get there, if you meet the local people, if you tell them that you have fled, they will not embarrass you. ”

Seeing that Simone had been completely in the trap, Ning Yuan directly exposed his fox tail.

In the past few years, Ning Yuan arranged for the Silver Pegasus Knights to carry out threshing operations in Anhui and Jiangsu, they first deliberately drove a large number of people there to the east, and then specially arranged for the Condor Navy to take all the people who were driven to the seaside to the northeast.

Operation Threshing Grass by the Silver Pegasus Knights eventually led to the loss of large indigenous populations in Anhui and Jiangsu.

Although the player lords of those two regions quickly chose to surrender to Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan did not return the people who were taken away.

As a result, after the loss of a large number of people, the once populous land of fish and rice suddenly became a rich paradise with a vast and sparsely populated land.

Although after taking refuge in the Condor Empire, the player lords there have all lost interest in managing their territories and only know how to play and hunt every day, but the natives under their command are not idle.

The natives who did not leave began to rebuild their homes as soon as the Condor Knights of the Silver Pegasus withdrew.

After losing a large number of people, a large number of good farmland became borderless land, which could be left to the people who remained, so that every ordinary family immediately became a large landowner.

However, although they actually own those fields, their identity as big landlords is very embarrassing.

The real landlords not only had a lot of good land in their hands, but they also had a large number of tenants to cultivate the land for them.

The new landlords in Jiangsu and Anhui had no land to help them cultivate the land, and they could only rely on their labor to cultivate as much land as possible.

An ordinary family usually has less than 10 children, and children can generally get started, so the area of land that each family can cultivate is very limited.

So even if the people who stayed behind have become several times more industrious than before, getting up early and working hard every day, because there is too much land without a master, the entire Jiangsu and Anhui regions are overgrown with weeds except for those villages near the city, and the eyes are full of barrenness.

Now that the Northern Expedition Alliance is in a state of defense with contraction on all fronts, they have no time to send troops into Anhui and Jiangsu, so although the Condor Army has not officially entered those two areas, in essence, those two places are already the territory of the Condor Empire.

Unless the Northern Expedition Alliance can turn defeat the Condor Army with a victory, or those player lords who have defected to Ning Yuan suddenly turn against the water, there will be no suspense about the ownership of those two regions.

Anhui and Jiangsu are two important grain-producing areas on the Yangtze River Delta, and the grain produced there will affect the future strategic layout of the Condor Empire, so in order to restore agricultural production there as soon as possible, Ningyuan must restore the number of permanent residents there as soon as possible.

However, the people who had been transferred from those two regions by Ning Yuan had now settled down completely, and those people had adapted to the cold climate of the Northeast and had integrated into the local ethnic groups.

After some displacement, they have just lived a stable and happy life, and as long as they are a normal king, they will never be relocated back, because that is not a human thing at all.

And although Ning Yuan is notorious and has done a lot of things to slaughter cities, in the Condor Empire, he has always regarded himself as a Ming Jun, and the people of the Condor Empire think that he is a good emperor and a benevolent king, so it is absolutely impossible for Ning Yuan to move those people back.

However, without the migration of a large number of people, agricultural production in Jiangsu and Anhui will not recover.

Ning Yuan's goal is to occupy the entire Great Earth and establish a true empire on which the sun never sets.

In order to achieve this goal, he not only needs a large number of troops, but also needs to prepare a large amount of grain and grass, so he must restore the production of those two important grain producing areas as soon as possible to accumulate strength for future outward expansion.

After continuous conquest in the past few years, the Condor Empire successively occupied Hebei, Shaanxi, Shaanxi and Sichuan regions north of the Yellow River, and also occupied Gansu, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet, expanding its territory a large part of the territory at once.

With such a large area of territory all of a sudden, the original aboriginal people of the Condor Empire are no longer enough, so it is basically impossible to migrate the population from within the Condor Empire to Anhui and Jiangsu, after all, there is a shortage of people everywhere in the Condor Empire.

Since the population within the Condor Empire was insufficient, Ning Yuan could only hit the land that did not belong to the Condor Empire, so the Hubei region, which was next to Anhui and Sichuan, became the best choice.

Originally, Ning Yuan just wanted to force the indigenous people living in Hubei to Anhui and Jiangsu, far away from the war, through endless destruction.

However, he never expected to meet such an excellent elven ranger as Simeone with chivalry in a small Nanzhang County, so he immediately made a small modification to his previous plan.

He was going to use Simeone's spirit of mercy to trick the indigenous people living in this land into taking the initiative to move east.

Although the native people would not necessarily follow Simeone's advice, as long as the monkey army arrived, Ning Yuan let them show their hands on the fertile plains east of Nanzhang County.

It is believed that the indigenous people who have received the warning from Simeone will immediately believe everything that Simone has said before.

When the time comes, when they move eastward, they will be the best propagandists to help the Condor carry the news all the way.

After a large number of people collectively move eastward, the Northern Expedition Alliance will definitely not sit idly by, and they will definitely take a series of countermeasures at that time.

It's just that no matter what countermeasures they take, as long as Ning Yuan and his monkey army are still here in Nanzhang County, all their actions can only play the role of drinking to quench their thirst.

Because when the people here no longer help them cultivate their crops, they will not only no longer be the cornerstone of the Northern Expedition, but will become a burden to the Northern Expedition.

If they want to keep the people who migrated eastward, the Northern Expeditionary Alliance must provide them with free three meals a day, otherwise those people will definitely not obey the orders of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance to stay when there is not enough food to eat.

And once the Northern Expedition Alliance chooses to provide free food for those people, the food they have accumulated over the years will be consumed at an extraordinary rate.

Eventually, it is likely that the food and grass they had so hard to store will be depleted, and the people will simply leave when they can no longer provide food, and they will end up with no money.

If they want to avoid this ending, the only way for the Northern Expedition Alliance is to repel the Condor Air Force that invaded Nanzhang County and drive Ning Yuan and them back to the other side of Daba Mountain, otherwise they will never be able to solve this problem.

And if the Northern Expedition Alliance took the initiative to attack, it would be exactly what Ning Yuan wanted, because if they wanted to defeat the Condor Air Force led by Ning Yuan, the Northern Expedition Alliance would have to dispatch their only remaining remnant air force, and Ning Yuan could just take the opportunity to eradicate the enemy's remnant air power.

After the Northern Expedition Alliance has no air power, the entire area north of the Yangtze River will be the Condor Army, and then it will completely become the back garden of the Condor Air Force, where they want to attack, they can attack, and the Northern Expedition Alliance without air power can only hide in the city and watch.

And if he wants to quickly push the Northern Expedition Alliance into a corner, Simeone, who has a chivalrous spirit, will play a vital role, because from the moment he spoke, Ning Yuan had already seen that he wanted to choose the second path and left directly.

That's why Ning Yuan, after a little temptation, immediately made a plan and gradually introduced Simone into the trap he set for him.

After listening to Ning Yuan's specific plan, Simone's face was unusually heavy, because he knew that his homeland was difficult to leave, and except for his own acquaintances, it would be difficult for others to believe what he said, and people would definitely think that he was alarmist.

After pondering for a moment, Simone looked up at Ning Yuan and asked, "Your Majesty, if those people are determined not to leave, what will you choose to do with them?" ”

Looking at Simone with a look of anticipation, Ning Yuan replied coldly: "I have already said before, as long as they do not take the initiative to become enemies of me, then I and my army will never harm them."

But if they show the slightest hint of wanting to be our enemy, then don't blame me and my army for turning against us.

For the enemy, I have always given them only two choices, either surrender or die.

This time we led the army here, our purpose is to come and wreak havoc, and we don't need any prisoners, so those who are enemies of us will end up in a dead end.

As for you, I opened up to you because you were an elf.

However, if you can't do it again, this kind of affection is enough to give it once, and I will never give it a second time, and when the time comes, no matter what race the enemy is, as long as they dare to stand in our way, then I will lead a large army to kill them all. ”

Ning Yuan knew that a person like Simone who was extremely chivalrous and determined, you had to put enough pressure on them before they would become more and more courageous, so he directly dispelled all the luck in Simone's heart with a murderous answer.

Looking at Simone with a disappointed look on his face, Ning Yuan spoke again: "Simone, I said before, I admire people like you, but my position is different, so I will never be able to be a person like you.

Now that you know my purpose and choice, please make your choice! ”

Seeing Simone standing there stunned, Ning Yuan decided to push him again.

After looking up at Ning Yuan, Simone gave Ning Yuan a deep salute, and then resolutely walked into the fields to the north.
