Chapter 426: Migration

For Lorist, the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel are not a big problem, but a super package. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just as Fat Man and Baron Camorra proposed to him, not only the royal city of Windbrie, but also the Northlands still need a large number of immigrants to fill the lack of human resources for the development of the territory.

The reason why the Norton family armed forces have a different retirement rule from the private armed forces of the nobles of other realms is to better convert those captives into loyal subjects in the family domain. Basically, the huge force of the Norton family army is not recruited from the territory, but the prisoners of war who have undergone three years of hard labor are recruited into the family army, and after five years of service, they will have a sense of belonging to the Norton family, so that they will willingly become a member of the Norton family territory.

Three years of hard labor can make the anger in the hearts of these captives disappear, and then let them enter the family armed forces, and the captives who have gone through hard labor will only accept the arrangement obediently. But then the generous treatment and strict discipline will make these captives have a sense of belonging and centripetal force to the Norton family, and after five years, the retired soldiers will be divided into fields and houses to reunite with their families, or those single retired soldiers will arrange or re-establish a family, then all of them will become loyal citizens of the Norton family.

This is Lorlist's transformation strategy, which is why the Norton family is armed in the hundreds of thousands. If this is not done, let these young men who were once hostile forces scatter into the family territory, then they will become the most unstable factor in the territory. It was also thanks to the huge seizures and funds obtained from the destruction of the slave kingdom of Haneyabada that Lorist was able to stick with this strategy.

But this strategy takes time, after all, it takes at least five years to retire from service. Another way to rapidly expand the population of a family domain is forced emigration. For Lorist, after the destruction of the Duchy of Madras and the Kingdom of Iberia, the only hostile force in the Northland was the Fisabrun family, who occupied the three provinces of the northeastern steppe. However, the three provinces of the northeastern steppe are more barren than the northland, and the lack of population is the biggest headache for the Grand Duke of Fisabrun.

This is also the consequence of the fact that after the capture of the Principality of Sabaji, everyone was busy moving the population and turning the Principality of Sabaji into a thousand miles of uninhabited, since the outbreak of the civil war between the three kings of the former Krisson Empire, almost all the nobles of the territory know that the population of the territory is related to the importance of family strength, in addition to looting property, young and strong labor has also become a scarce resource.

Lorist promised His Royal Highness that He was willing to send troops to the four central principalities to fight the idea of a large number of immigrants, and now the population of the Northland is only 1.67 million, and it is not known how many years it will take to reach the goal of having three million people. And the three million people are the lowest manpower needs that Shi Fatzi calculated to meet the development of the Northland. It takes too long to rely on childbirth, and it takes more than ten years for a person to go from baby to adulthood, and there are many risks in the process of growing up. And the mass migration from the Middle Four Duchy is much faster.

Although the four principalities in the central region are known to be rich, Lorist understands very well that the financial income of the four principalities is not rich in the past ten years of war, especially in the southern province three years ago in order to support the Fisabrun family and the four alliances of the northland, the loss of sixty or seventy thousand elite infantry is a very loss-making business for the four principalities in the central region, and it has just recovered in the past three years and is facing the invasion of the second highness, so it is impossible to loot a huge amount of money and property from the four principalities in the central region, and the only idea that can be fought is forced large-scale immigration。

It is a pity that after the capture of the Principality of Sabaji, in addition to the 100,000 residents of Meishan Castle and the 1560,000 refugees whose homes were destroyed, the rest of the refugees were almost divided up by the Fisabrun family, the Filim family, the Shaheen family and some knowledgeable territorial nobles. The three provinces of the Principality of Sabaji, Limad Province were monopolized by the Norton family, Meishan Province was divided with the Shaheen family and the noble alliance, and Zixes Province was the domain of the Fisabrun family and the Philim family. Of the nearly 800,000 people of the Sabaji Principality, there were less than 300,000 left after the Second Highness arrived and issued an order prohibiting all nobles from forcibly relocating the people.

As far as His Royal Highness is concerned, he must prohibit such a forced relocation of his subjects, otherwise after occupying the Four Central Duchyes, what will he do to restore his economic development territory and restore his strength? Fortunately, Lorist also knew that they had gone a little too far, and looking at the current miserable situation of the Sabaji Principality, they understood that if His Royal Highness did not prohibit it, there would be no one in the three provinces.

Therefore, after occupying the Duchy of Forendo, His Royal Highness paid special attention to military discipline, and strictly forbade the nobles to enter the Duchy of Fakr, anyway, the Grand Duke of Fakr had fled to the Duchy of Handla, and the towns over there were waiting for the Second Highness to receive them, so why bother to drive these nobles with selfish and ill intentions under his command to go out with their private arms?

But what I didn't expect was that Grand Duke Falkel actually left such a mess for His Second Highness, so that His Second Highness had to be in a dilemma. At this time, he knew that Lorist had the idea of fighting these hundreds of thousands of refugees again, but he still had to pinch his nose and do it. After all, judging from the current situation, Lorlist's relocation idea is the best way to deal with it, otherwise you can only watch these refugees freeze and starve to death, and the price paid for moving these hundreds of thousands of refugees to the royal city of Windbrie is basically borne by the Norton family, which is also a prerequisite for the Second Highness to be tempted and agree to let Lorist and Earl Philim go to the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel to relocate refugees.

Hehe, the Second Highness must not know that the general will be outside, and the monarch's order is not subject to this sentence, not to mention that the relationship between the upper and lower lords of the Gelinthia Continent is not that kind of autocratic feudal system. As the Grand Duke of the Northlands, Lorist has the right to refuse unreasonable orders from His Royal Highness that are detrimental to the interests of the Norton family. After getting the consent of His Royal Highness No. 2, Lorist is now a real sky, a bird can fly, and the sea is wide and a fish jumps......

There are currently refugees in the three provinces of the Principality of Fakr, Samora, Fabusia, and Crimea, but the largest concentration of refugees is still in Fabusia, because the Grand Duke of Fakr burned down the city of Falemerhi, creating nearly 100,000 homeless refugees. The refugees in the other two provinces were ordered by Grand Duke Farkel to burn the grain and grass stored in the towns of the two provinces, leaving the townspeople without food and clothing, but they at least had a house to live in.

The population of the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel is nearly one million, and how can a hundred thousand refugees alone satisfy Lorist's appetite. On the way to the province of Crimea, Lorist made an agreement with Count Philim, and the Norton family was the majority, and the Philim family could also eat meat and drink some soup. After all, even if the Philim family has migrated a lot of refugees, they still need the support of the Norton family to give food, grass and materials, and the southern provinces that have not yet developed much cannot support it.

However, no matter how you say that His Royal Highness is still the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, the face that should be given still has to be given, and Lorist and Count Philim discussed whether they could turn the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel into the miserable state of the Principality of Sabaji, at least the face should be passed.

Therefore, Lorist is not prepared to touch the towns and peasants who have a register of the people, which are easy to find on the register. But those noble estates and noble territories that followed Archduke Falkel to the Duchy of Handra became the target of Lorist and Count Philim, anyway, for the Second Highness, these nobles were rebellious, and after he occupied the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel, he still had to clean up, it was better to let Lorist clean up early, and the seized materials could just help the refugees.

This is a very strange loophole, the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel have already fallen into the hands of the Second Highness, but what has been handed over to the Second Highness is only the family territory directly under the Grand Duke of Falkel and the household registration of the people of various towns. However, the people under the jurisdiction of the nobility who were canonized as a territory by the Grand Duke of Fakel were not on this household register. Just as the population of the Northlands owned by the Norton family now reaches 1.67 million, this 1.67 million can be regarded as the lords of the Norton family. In addition, although the provinces of Dramke and Winston belong to the jurisdiction of the Norton family, and the combined population is nearly six or seven hundred thousand, but these are the people of the nobles of those territories canonized in these two provinces, and the population cannot be counted in the name of the Norton family.

Just like the inhabitants of the royal city of Windbri, their statistics also belong to the kingdom of Antinac, and although Lorist is the governor, he has the same rights to dispose of the inhabitants of the royal city as the subjects of the family domain, but he still cannot treat these inhabitants as subjects. This is because the Governor can be appointed and removed for a limited period of time, and even if Lorist is a Governor for life, he cannot pass on the position to his children and grandchildren. But family domains can be hereditary. This is also one of the reasons why His Royal Highness agreed with Lorist to relocate hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Duchy of Falkel to the royal city of Windbri, no matter what, the meat is rotten in this cauldron of the Kingdom of Antinac.

The population of the three provinces of the Principality of Falkel is nearly one million, but only half of the people who really belong to the Falkel family are now forced by the brutality of the unsuspecting Grand Duke of Falkel to become refugees. Soon with the arrival of Lorist and Earl Philim, these refugees will be relocated to the Southern Province and the royal city of Windbrie with the help of the Flying Tigers and Pegasus. It didn't seem to have much effect on the Northlands, but what Lorist wanted was an excuse to rescue and relocate refugees, and he was fighting the ideas of the lords of the nobles of the Duchy of Fakel, and he was confident that he would turn these people into refugees and move to the Northlands.

Well, save some face for His Royal Highness, and nearly 500,000 subjects under the names of the territorial nobles will also move 300,000 to the Northland, so that this time the attack on the four central principalities of Lorist will add more than 500,000 people to the Northland, not including the 100,000 refugees who moved to the royal city of Windbri. It can be said that this time in the battle against the four principalities in the central region, the Norton family benefited the most.

As for how to relocate, Lorist is not worried, the Norton family has extremely rich experience in helping them migrate to the Northlands, and the Earl of Philim, who is responsible for cooperating, is not a novice, and is very familiar with this forced means of relocation. After the Flying Tigers and Pegasus Legions arrived in the Crimea Province of the Principality of Fakel, the Pegasus Legion left one corps to cooperate with the Flying Tigers to collect and guard the refugees, and the remaining three corps continued to the provinces of Fabusia and Samora.

The Flying Tiger Legion, under the leadership of Tiger Rus, followed the order of Lorist to clean up all the noble territories in the province of Crimea that followed the Grand Duke of Falkel to the Duchy of Handla, the order was very simple, the belongings and food and grass materials in these noble territories would be collected to help the refugees relocate, and the lords of the noble territories who had lost all their supplies could only embark on the northward journey like those refugees in order not to die in this winter......

This is also the confidence that Lorist only asked for food and grass for hundreds of thousands of refugees for fifteen days from His Second Highness, and guaranteed that these refugees could move to the King of Windbrie smoothly. The Grand Duke of Fakr only burned the grain and grass stored in the towns under his direct control, but did not apply the same decision to the noble realms under his control. In the past few years, the wind and rain have been good, and the warehouses of the nobles of the Principality of Falkel are not filled with grain and grass materials. For Lorlist, the agents of the Volibell Intelligence Investigation Bureau, a family lurking in the Duchy of Fakel, had already investigated the information of these territorial nobles clearly, and even marked the amount of grain and grass in detail.

With this information and even the guidance of the leading party, the harvest of the Flying Tiger Legion is not insignificant, except for the release of a dozen or so territorial nobles who did not follow the Grand Duke of Falkel and paid a large amount of protection fee to Tiger Ross, a total of thirty-four noble territories were swept into white land by the Flying Tiger Legion, unlike the Grand Duke of Farkel who set fire to the city of Falemehi, the cleaning of the Flying Tiger Legion seemed more reasonable, and they took away all the valuable or usable materials, which was not difficult for them with rich experience in robbery. So Crimea immediately became more than 100,000 refugees.

For other families or armies, winter is a very fatal season, and no one wants to go out on a mission in the cold winter of wind and snow except to spend the whole winter in a dormitory with nothing to do. Unlike the Norton family, they still have to carry out missions and training outside, even in winter. Solid experience in cold protection and long trekking. Even the heavier the snowstorm, the more it helps them, as long as there is a thick enough layer of snow on the road, then skis and sleds come in handy.

With sledding, it is easy and quick to move refugees to the next location during the winter months. Through the letter eagle summons, Lorist has commanded Fat Man and Baron Camorra to set up a complete transport line, and set up a camp for the refugees to rest and resupply along the way at Meishan Castle, the Southern Province and the royal city of Windbrie, so that the refugees who have been transported through the long snow can get off the sled until they reach their assigned resettlement site.

When the third blizzard stopped, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion, who had been ready, loaded the refugees into sleds and began the long journey to the Northlands. For the Norton family, the greatest advantage of using the winter to carry out the relocation operation is that there is not much to send in to keep these refugees under strict supervision. Because not a single mentally armed refugee will escape a sleigh or be unruly on the way to migration. Leaving a warm sled with windproof and cold-proof settings on such a cold winter day is a dead end.

At present, more than 400,000 refugees have been collected in Fabusia Province, and the Flying Tiger Legion has cleared the province and is preparing to go to Samora Province to complete the final clean-up mission. Lorist's order to Tiger Ross is a quota of 80,000 refugees, as a province that has been newly owned by the Principality of Falkel for less than seven or eight years, it may be a little difficult to achieve this refugee target, but Tiger Roth said that no matter how difficult it is, he will definitely find a way to complete it.

The nobles of the two provinces of Crimea and Fabusia that have been cleared have harvested the most grain and grass materials, and the rest of the cash is not much such as Jinfu, only more than three or four hundred thousand, but more exquisite luxury goods and various collections of some territorial nobles, and these goods are worth millions of gold and merit together. After Lorist and Count Philip consulted, the cash went to Count Philim, while the rest of the belongings were laughed at by Lorlist.

On January 32 of the new year, nearly 50 days had been going on for the relocation of refugees, and the refugees in Fabusia Province had been transported, that is, the last remaining 30,000 or 40,000 people remained in Samora Province. Lorist estimates that all the refugees will be able to be transported by sled to the resettlement site before the snow begins to melt on 15 February. After a month of recuperation during the rainy season, they will be able to contribute to the development of the Norton family's domain.

At this moment, Bodfinger, who had received a secret order to lead the three corps of the Rock Legion to the province of Fabusia, walked into the big tent in the igloo and saluted Lorist: "Your Highness, are we ready to start the operation?"
