Chapter 7: The City of Seclusion

Due to the fact that the Colony City is too far away from the Tiandu Bakong City, and the outer mountain walls of the Colony City belong to the territory of the Moyuan Empire except for about one kilometer on both sides of the dark passage, and the other thousands of kilometers of mountain walls are handed over by other countries, strictly speaking, the Colony Ghost City was discovered and occupied by the Moyuan Empire that should not have it, from the perspective of the distance between the dark passage and the countries, the Snow Country and the Yan Country are only less than one kilometer away from the secret passage, and they only need to capture one kilometer and extend the national border for hundreds of meters to have the entrance and exit of the Colony Hidden City.

The ruler of the Moyuan Empire naturally knew that only by firmly controlling the exit of the secret passage could he have a huge Colony City, and all the Moyuan Emperors after that were at the exit of the Secret Passage until the Snow Country Border on the left side of the Snow Country Border and the area on the Moyuan side of the Yan Country Border on the right side of the Secret Passage Exit, and arranged heavy troops layer by layer along the national border, and built three city walls up to tens of meters high along the mountain wall outside the entrance and exit of the Colony Hidden City.

And in order to absolutely guarantee the control of this kilometer of mountain walls, the military power of this area has been extended to the interior of Moyuan, and it is closely connected with the military force headquarters of the empire.

At the same time, the empire sent a large number of soldiers and researchers to enter the city to look for all kinds of mineral resources, but it was found that the cost of exploring the city was too great, for hundreds of years, a large number of people died in the complex wild environment of the city, and the mineral resources found were few, and what was even more terrible was that a large number of military forces were stationed on the periphery of the entrance and exit of the city, which cost almost one-third of the imperial military expenditure.

For the Mohara Empire, the city seems to have become a hot potato, the only channel connecting the city and the outer continent, which can control the entire city in a stable way, but it is impossible to station a large number of troops and other personnel, because once the dark passage is controlled by other countries, everything in the city, including the military personnel, will become the spoils of war from other countries.

The Moyuan Empire has a national border of tens of thousands of kilometers, and soldiers and strategists have begun to oppose wasting too many national resources in a wild place that does not bring any income but seems to be full of hidden dangers, but it is obvious that this wild land cannot be ceded to any country, and must be firmly controlled by the Moyuan Empire.

In the year 17,000 of the Tianli calendar, the then emperor Ming Cheng looked at Hao Ce, the superintendent who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, put down the recital in his hand, and said: "There are so many prisoners?

Hao Ce said: "Your Majesty, with the increase in the number of people, the number of offenders is also increasing year by year, and some prisoners who have been imprisoned will return to society after being released from prison, and a certain proportion will be imprisoned again, and these people will also affect some ordinary people to commit crimes, so the number of prisoners is rising every year, and the current trend is that the new 100 prisons will not be enough in ten years." Not only that, but regulatory fees are also a huge financial expense. ”

Ming Chengyi frowned and asked, "How many criminals are currently in custody in the whole empire?"

Hao Ce said: "At present, there are 97,852 detainees in the country, including 72,258 male prisoners and 25,594 female prisoners. ”

Ming Cheng groaned and picked up a copy of the fold, and the two words on it came into view: Colonization.

The Folds are reports on military changes outside the Imperial Legion Commander outside the Imperial Legion.

Mingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped it on his hand with a fold, and laughed.

Although some people proposed to make the colony a place of exile for serious criminals, but it was not implemented for various reasons, Emperor Ming Cheng made a decision: to use the colony as a big prison of the Moyuan Empire, and all the prisoners in the country were sent to the colony and had freedom in the colony city, but they were not allowed to leave for life for generations.

This decision completely solved the various expenses of the empire for imprisoning prisoners, and at the same time, it was possible to use these 100,000 prisoners to develop the wild land of the city.

In order to make more comprehensive use of criminals to develop the colony city, the emperors after the Ming Dynasty continued to release the control of the colony city. All prisoners have the greatest freedom in the colony city, they can have their own houses, and the discovery of mineral resources can be reported to the empire to obtain rewards, while in the colony city, there is no legal institution, these criminals can even have weapons, but they are not allowed to own and use crossbow arrows and arrows and other long-range weapons, after the discovery of condensation, the new law stipulates that they are not allowed to have any flying machines or flying chariots, otherwise as long as they are found, they will be immediately executed or imprisoned in the mining dungeon, and they will never be allowed to return to the ground.

After nearly 5,000 years of free development, the city has become the largest city in the world, with a population of more than 30 million, nearly 10 million more than the entire number of soldiers.

The first batch of 10,000 ordinary prisoners were sent into the colony city, because the wild land was full of dangers, the area was also large, and there was no legal restraint among the prisoners, so they were completely in a state of predation of the jungle, and before the second batch of prisoners were sent in, there were less than 5,000 people left in just one month.

Ming Cheng immediately ordered that each of the 10,000 prisoners who entered the second batch would be issued with knives or cutting tools, shovels, etc., to increase their ability to open up the wilderness. At the same time, a security zone will be set up, and no armed conflict will be allowed in the area within ten kilometers of the entrance after entering the city, and violators will immediately enter the dungeon and will not be allowed to return to the ground for life.

In this way, the weaker old and weak women and children among the prisoners can avoid being bullied or even killed by the brave and ruthless prisoners.

As the city was invaded by a steady stream of prisoners, small villages and towns were established, and gradually developed its own urban code of conduct, and in a gradually stable social environment, the safe zone was finally abolished, and the city became an isolated country within a country.

The Moyuan Empire firmly grasped the natural snake-shaped secret passage that was a thousand meters long, and sent the criminals into the colony city one by one.

Although the Moyuan Empire also has certain laws on violent crimes in the city, it does not really send enough personnel to manage the huge city, which is regarded as an important part of the government's financial revenue, and for the tens of millions of people in the city, the Moyuan Empire is basically in the process of grasping the big and letting go of the small and letting it develop naturally and try not to do artificial control.

However, in order to prevent the emergence of threatening military forces in the Colony City, the Moyuan Empire has made various precautions to crack down on various gang organizations with more than 100 people in size, if a gang is found to have more than 100 people, it will be completely destroyed, and all members will be thrown into the government mineral dungeon in the Colony City, and they will mine for the country for life and will not see the light of day.

But even so, in order to ensure the safety of their lives, many people can only join various large and small gangs, and there are often fights between gangs.
