The capture of the port was only the first step of the Tianhan army, and the 10,000-strong army was soon divided into three brigades to reconnoiter the front and capture the inhabitants of the western continent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The western continent is not very large, because of the lack of materials, most of the lives exist near the shore, there are more than 100,000 people, fishing is their magic weapon to survive to this day.

In this way, the Tianhan Kingdom does not need to go too deep, the Western Continent is not big, but it is also very vast, and it is a little difficult to control it all in your hands.

But as long as the coast is controlled, there is no fear that these inhabitants will run away.

But if you want to occupy the coast, you still need to face various forces.

They were originally prisoners of various countries, and they were exiled here, and they established a gang-like organization, divided the entire Western Continent equally, and caused some trouble to the Tianhan army at the beginning.

It's just a bit of a hassle.

After 2 days of conquest, the city centered on the port fell directly into the hands of the Tianhan army, and a total of nearly 10,000 people were captured, but unfortunately many people ran away, otherwise it could reach tens of thousands.

Only half of these captives could be used as labor, and the Supreme Commander did not dislike it, and all of them were forcibly requisitioned.

Build a military base on the coast as a foothold for the Tianhan army.

This labor force is far from enough, and the commander directly sends a brigade to capture prisoners everywhere, anyway, these people are prisoners, and they don't need to care about them at all.

But the efficiency of this method is still too slow, the western continent is very large, and these residents are too capable of running.

As long as the Tianhan army first focused on occupying the coast, Lu En, as the largest force in the Western Continent, would be quickly eradicated.

It will be more difficult for the remaining forces to resist the footsteps of the Tianhan army, and a small number of forces will not be in the right situation, directly surrender, and declare their submission to the Tianhan State.

The Celestial Han army then stopped attacking those who had surrendered, and in this case, the various forces surrendered one after another.

They don't want to be wiped out by the Tianhan Army like Lu En.

The surrender made the Tianhan army spend less effort and sent people to occupy those oil fields, as for the various minerals.

Tianhan Kingdom is still not eye-catching, the largest of these minerals is only small, and they are all iron ores.

These are the fundamentals of the survival of various forces, and the Tianhan Kingdom did not force them to a dead end, leaving them to exploit, and only declared that all the land in the Western Continent was owned by the Tianhan Kingdom.

Oil fields need to be exploited, and at the same time, they need to be protected by the military, and military bases need to be built first.

The Heavenly Han Kingdom echoed the various forces to contribute labor to help them build military bases.

It's just that the various forces didn't contribute much, and the total number of people was only 3,000, which was less than the previous prisoners, and it didn't reach 10,000 even if it was counted.

This made the Tianhan National Army very dissatisfied, they not only wanted to build a military base, but also needed to extract oil at that time, and they couldn't pull people from China to come over to exploit it.

Although he was very dissatisfied, the supreme commander did not forcibly recruit them, and now these laborers are enough to build a military base, and when they are completed, they will settle accounts with these people.

After several months, with the labor of nearly 10,000 people, the military base of the Tianhan Kingdom in the western continent was finally completed.

During this time, the Tianhan Kingdom also sent a lot of materials here, consolidating its position here, and by the way, it also opened up a waterway.

The countries that had been closely following the movements of the Tianhan Kingdom had also relaxed their vigilance, and the very barren land of the Western Continent could not attract their attention at all.

And it's a little strange that it's still far from the countries and unlikely to be a springboard for an attack.

These days, the Han State did not care, and after the Western Continent was stabilized, it finally exploited oil on a large scale.

This requires a lot of labor, and you must know that there are several large oil fields in the western continent, and others may not know the value of these oils.

However, the high-level leaders of the Tianhan Kingdom are very clear that the more oil appears, the more attention they will pay to the Western Continent, and even send a fleet to patrol the waters around the Western Continent.

When extracting oil, the labor provided by various forces is seriously insufficient, after all, in addition to extracting oil, it also needs transportation, which requires the construction of railways.

And they only hugged the minerals in their hands tightly, and did not want to contribute a trace of labor at all.

This behavior also completely angered the commander stationed here, and he was ordered to do everything in his power to extract oil.

But these people didn't cooperate at all, they were simply against him, and after enduring it for so long, some of them couldn't bear it anymore, and applied to clear these uncooperative forces.

The top brass of the Tianhan National Army quickly authorized the dispatch of troops and supplies to support the military operations of the garrison army.

Finally, the army stationed on the Western Continent launched an attack on the various forces in the name of exterminating the remnants of Lu En's forces.

This made many forces cry out for grievances, and they had nothing to do with the original boss of the Western Continent at all.

It's just that the Tianhan Army has a hat buttoned down, and they can't explain it, as long as the Tianhan Kingdom thinks that your forces are related to Lu Enyu's sins, they will attack.

Of course, the Tianhan National Army will not exterminate all these forces, they are all laborers, who will go to work if they are all killed?

The Tianhan National Army only purged the top level, broke up the entire bottom layer, and elected representatives who could meet their own interests.

At first, the various forces did not react, but as more and more forces were purged, they understood.

This military operation was not at all to exterminate the remnants of Lu En, but to purge the upper echelons of their forces.

The defense of the remaining forces was naturally much fiercer, but it was still useless.

The strength of the two sides is really too poor, and not only that, but the Tianhan army controls all the coasts, which is equivalent to controlling most of the food sources.

The land in the western continent is very poor, and there is not much land that can be planted, so it is basically very difficult to rely on farming to produce.

Choking food can kill a lot of gang forces.

What's more, there is no shortage of leading parties in various gangs, which is also formed by the policy of the Tianhan National Army.

They want to clean up the top and then elect deputies who are in line with their own use, and these deputies are, of course, elected from the grassroots.

Many people are very jealous of this opportunity, so the will to resist at the top of the gang forces is good, but the will to resist at the grassroots level is not good.

They were originally prisoners, and they listened to whoever had the big fist in their bones, but now the fist of the Tianhan National Army is big.

After a month or two of purging, all the gang forces in the Western Continent were cleansed, and all of them became forces supporting the Heavenly Han Kingdom.

For this reason, the population is not large, and many people were killed and injured in the Western Continent, but it was harmless, they provided nearly 100,000 laborers for the Tianhan Kingdom.

Basically, all the young and middle-aged people went to exploit oil and lay railways, and there were many fewer people fishing in the land, so they could only import grain from the Tianhan Kingdom, otherwise many people would starve to death.
