The Far East is vast, and after more than a year of development, it has developed less than one thousandth of the area.
You must know that on the map of the continent, the area of the Far East is equivalent to the total area of the six northern provinces of the empire, and it is rich in resources and fertile land.
The number of orcs in the Far East is low due to the environment and the survival mode of the tribe, and the reproductive ability has been maintained at less than 100,000.
This directly led to the unusually empty Far East, and Lin Ye did a lot of calculations on it, and the final results made him excited.
The Far East was large enough to hold a million people! a figure that might have been insignificant in his time when he had been active.
One million is just the number of a county seat, but you must know that the population base in the Miracle Continent is about 30 million.
Of course, this figure is not accurate, it is a figure calculated by Lin Ye based on the map division, as well as the population density of each place, and the grain production.
The Lionheart Empire has always been the number one power in the Miracle Continent, accounting for about one-fifth of the total population, or eight million.
In the production structure dominated by agriculture, population is the productive force, as long as there is enough population and enough land to master.
In terms of energy, we will continue to obtain a source of troops, so that we have the capital to compete for the world.
After more than a year of operation, the Far East has laid an industrial foundation on the premise of occupying resources and geographical environment.
But the biggest weakness still exists, that is, the population, although the population has been greatly improved compared to the beginning, but it is still far from enough.
Of course, if too many people are poured in at one time, the original structure will be destroyed, and it will not be achieved quickly, and it must be done slowly.
And as the population increases, so does the consumption of resources, and it is necessary to provide enough jobs and land.
According to Lin Ye's calculations, according to the current situation in the Far East, it can probably accommodate 30,000 people.
The expansion of towns and the construction of factories and the development of land go hand in hand, and the number of people accommodating them increases with each passing year.
This is a step-by-step growth, and Lin Ye plans to increase the population to 100,000 within five years, with a population base of 100,000.
Only then did he truly have the confidence to build the Far East into a rival to the Empire.
In a sense, no matter which prince has the last laugh, no one will tolerate the existence of such a threat as the Far East.
Sooner or later, the Empire's expedition to the Far East would begin, perhaps a year later, two years, or even ten years.
Of course, the longer the time is from the Far East, the more advantageous it is, but if it is too early, it is absolutely fatal.
With the military strength of the empire, although the number of generals has been sharply reduced after the civil war, the power of the strong army that has passed the baptism of war is absolutely not to be underestimated, according to the many expeditions launched against the Far East in history, the military strength of each dispatch is more than 30 corps.
That is, a full 60,000 elite!
To withstand the onslaught of at least 60,000 troops, Lin Ye must prepare in advance, and not squander every minute!
Now he must make the most of the chaos and win over the largest possible population, who need more than just wealth for the fleeing people.
What they also needed was a sense of stability, and everyone hesitated until they were sure whether the Far East had the strength to protect them.
At this moment he must seize this opportunity, the opportunity to show everyone the power of the Far East.
This was something that Crouff could not comprehend, and only asked about these things when the Duke was too bored.
"Fant, bring me the map. Lin Ye calmly glanced at the loyal guard captain and raised his hand.
His little fat butler immediately retrieved the parchment map hanging from the carriage.
In fact, the map of Baiyan Province has been clearly remembered in his mind, and according to modern strategic thinking, information is put in the first place.
"This is Yingge City, can Lord Parker point out the approximate distribution of troops in the city, and the direction of their breakthrough?"
Lin Ye pointed to the location of Yingge City on the map, and only when he had enough information could he know himself and his opponent.
"My lord, what are you ......" Kruf looked at Lin Ye in surprise, trying to stop him.
But Lin Ye waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to say anything, and stepped aside, and before Crouff hesitated, Lancelot glared at him.
Realizing that he was suspected of trespassing, Crouff did not dare to speak up.
He knew very well that those big men were very suspicious, and he was most disgusted with his subordinates overstepping their powers, and he still remembered the scene when Lin Ye killed Osser.
He would never think that just these hundred or so people would be able to be arrogant in front of this dangerous duke, that would be looking for death at all!
"My lord, I will remember your kindness!" Parker was overjoyed and immediately called a veteran over.
The two told Lin Ye Yingge in detail about the various situations in the city.
Crouff's expression was very unnatural, and he kept pacing back and forth anxiously behind him, the rain constantly washing over his armor.
But he didn't care about this, less than two hundred cavalry, to attack a city of two thousand?
Isn't that crazy? But whenever he wanted to speak, he remembered the assassination of Orsher.
After Lin Ye and Parker and the others discussed for a while, they went to the side of the carriage to continue the discussion under the reminder of Iga Blowing Snow.
Refugees kept walking past them, and someone recognized Parker's identity and pointed at them.
It seems that they are dissatisfied with the fact that they did not protect the city well, and some people are a little happy to see the appearance of the soldiers.
After seeing the number clearly, he looked to the rear again to confirm that there were no other support troops, and soon lost again.
This alone is not enough to recapture Yingge City, is it really too much?
"Master Lancelot, you can persuade the Duke, you know, with our people, there is really no way to fight. ”
Crouff went to Lancelot and whispered, it was not convenient for him to speak directly, but if it was Lancelot, it would be fine.
In the future, if he wants to soar in the Far East, he must also have a good relationship with the henchmen of this duke.
"If it's a head-on breakthrough, it's true that there is no way to fight, but Lord Duke always has the ability to turn decay into magic. ”
Lancelot pondered for a moment, giving an answer that Crouff couldn't fathom.
Turning decay into magic? Crouff chewed on the word carefully, and he couldn't taste it at all.
It was at this time that Lin Ye finally negotiated with Parker and the others.
"Crouff. Lin Ye shouted from afar, and Kruf immediately went over.
"What do you command, my lord?" said Kluff cautiously.
"I have a very important matter for you to do, whether you can take Yingge City or not, it will be up to you!" (To be continued.) )
