105

With the success of several major wars, the Mandi Empire has successfully boosted morale, and they continue to take advantage of the high morale to attack the Colorful Empire, on the contrary, they are frequently taking the initiative to abandon cities and slaves. The Mandi Empire abandoned the city and the slaves, gathered its own soldiers, and clenched their fists.

In addition to being 'blocked' a few times, the Colorful Empire triumphed all the way, occupied a large number of vast lands in Mandi, liberated countless slaves, and the domestic people were full of voices, and everywhere was full of voices of praise for virtue.

Both the new inhabitants (slaves and personnel from other countries who have joined the nationality of the Colorful Empire) and the old residents of the Colorful Empire have been infected by successive victories, and countless capable people have run to join the army, and then return to their hometowns one by one. (This was the result of deliberate propaganda by the Empire's top brass in order to increase the country's involvement in the war.) )

For a while, the war mood in the Colorful Empire was very high, and countless people signed up to join the army one after another, but Xiaobao was busy cooking a hearty lunch at home at this time.

He Shen has been studying local civil management hard at Xiaobao's request, but when he watched others get so many military exploits outside one by one, and then they rose to prominence one by one, his heart was not at ease. After thinking about it again, he finally decided to write a letter to Xiaobao, and then received a reply from Xiaobao, the content of which was very simple: I know, come to Kyoto.

As Xiaobao's other cronies, Tiko, under Xiaobao's reminder, avoided the chaos at the beginning of the war early, and led his relatives to return to China early for refuge. After returning to China, when he thanked Xiaobao, he began to study the logistics under Xiaobao's orders. Finally, under the successive victories of the empire, he also thought about it, and couldn't stop his excitement, and after careful consideration, he also wrote a letter to Xiaobao, the content of which was exactly the same as that of He Shen.

What are the thoughts of these two subordinates, Xiaobao knows very well in his heart. This good news spreads every day, and after countless revisions, where is the place where the war is fought on the front line, it is simply an auspicious blessed land where pies fall every day. Gaining military exploits is as simple as drinking water, as long as you go to the front line, you can come back and glorify your ancestors, wealth and glory.

For these people, Xiaobao can only say that the ignorant are fearless, and the other Mandi Empire is not made of flour, so you can knead it as much as the Colorful Empire wants?

Is it possible?

Xiaobao also clearly remembers the first large-scale battle of this war, in which the 300,000 regular troops of the Mandi Empire plus the 200,000 Royal Legion fought against the 1 million regular troops of the Colorful Empire plus 100,000 Royal Army under the betrayal of nearly a million slave troops, and finally the entire army was wiped out, and none of them surrendered.

This battle was fought under the condition that the Colorful Empire had an absolute advantage, but the final result was that the slave army lost nearly 500,000 people, the regular army of the Colorful Empire lost more than 200,000, and the royal legion lost more than 30,000 people.

The end result of a war without a 'catenary' was much more than the Colorful Empire expected, and although the Mandi Empire was insensitive to slaves, it was surprisingly good to ordinary commoners and nobles, who sacrificed a large number of slaves to make their country's inhabitants live a fine life, and let them hold together for the common good. This is also the reason why the Mandi slave empire was able to rule about seventy percent of the slave population when the number of people accounted for less than 30% of the population, and this is the basis of why they became a great empire for thousands of years.

If it weren't for the absolute superiority achieved under various arrangements, the combat effectiveness of the Mandi Empire would still be considerable. Looking back at the later wars, the Mandi Empire generally took the initiative to give up the plan except for a few shady tricks. They left their land and slaves behind and gathered their forces together to gather their strength. And what about the Colorful Empire? Although it occupied a huge territory, it dispersed its forces for this purpose, and not only that! Because of the declaration of emancipation of slaves, under the intention of the Mandi Empire, the Colorful Empire also resulted in tens of millions of efforts. These people don't see anything wrong for a while, but in the long run, they are a heavy burden.

Their living needs are all provided by the Colorful Empire, and the slaves that the Colorful Empire accepts every day are huge, as long as they are willing to take advantage of this, the consequences are unimaginable.

To put it bluntly, the emancipation proclamation of the Colorful Empire is a double-edged sword, of course, it is good to use it well, but if you make a slight mistake, you will hurt yourself. The Mandi Empire is not stupid, and the surrounding countries are not stupid, which is why even if the war is fought until now, those who are next to it are not betting.

But are the Colorful Empire fools? Are Xiaobao and Xuan Ye, and the top officials of the empire stupid? Of course not, everything is a conspiracy!

Hey! Xiaobao was slightly disappointed with He Shen and Tiko, these two boys let them read some military books, and it seemed that they had read them in vain. So far, the war has been fought so far, and there is obviously a crater ahead, although it has not yet shone brightly, but then it is not dangerous?

But then again, these two goods are still very 'young', just take this opportunity to let them go outside to hone and hone, otherwise I don't know how they died that day, isn't that a waste of Xiaobao's thoughts?

Coincidentally, He Shen and Tike happened to bump into each other in front of the Xiaoyao Mansion. The two smiled at each other, and entered the Xiaoyao Mansion together under the notification of the guards in front of the door.

Of course, you can't come empty-handed to visit Xiaoyaohou's Mansion, and He Shen brought Xiaobao a hammer wine hotel that Xiaobao had long cared for in his hometown of Autumn Harvest City, and bought three altars for Xiaobao thousands of miles away. At the same time, he also brought Nie Caidie's favorite snacks in Youzhou, and prepared a troupe of his favorite Youzhou drama for Xiaobao's father-in-law.

In this gift, Heshen is obviously smarter than Tiko, and this kid brings either gold, silver, jewelry, or agate and jade, and he has no intention at all.

The biggest one in Xiaoyaohou Mansion is not Xiaobao, nor Nie Caidie, but their father (a son-in-law and half a son!) Nie Yan. Xiaobao's family has always been a man outside and a woman inside, Xiaobao is afraid of his wife three points when he is at home, and his wife Nie Caidie is afraid of her father three points, so the hierarchy system came out.

It seems simple to please Xiaobao outside, but it is actually very difficult! This is very clear to Heshen, as for Tico, forget it! So Heshen is scheming hard to please Xiaobao, which is why Xiaobao asked Heshen to work hard to deal with civil affairs, but Tike is the reason for logistics. Therefore, Xiaobao thinks that this old boy still has to learn!

Since coming to the capital, Nie Yan has been accompanying his daughter to live in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, although because of Xiaobao, he is also beautiful in the capital, but after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be a little homesick!

The Youzhou opera troupe brought by He Shen happened to be sent to the heart of this old man, and he praised He Shen very much. This made Nie Caidie, who was originally because of the Youzhou snacks sent by He Shen, also more pleasing to him, and from time to time he served dishes at the dinner table. Tico was envious from the sidelines, and at the same time secretly hated himself for being stupid, would the Hou family's family be short of money? At the same time, he made up his mind that he would get close to this adult in the future and learn more from him.
