The Viscount of Tyrrenne led the army and advanced towards Paris.

Duke Duplexis was ordered to stop him, but he was defeated, and the opponent's firepower was much stronger than theirs.

The French were unable to resist, and a large number of soldiers were either killed or captured.

The following year, the army of the Viscount of Tyrrenne arrived under the city of Paris, and the royal family was forced to leave Paris again.

In February of the seventh year of Dahua, Massarino was exiled for the second time, and at the same time, Prince Condé and other nobles were also released, and the Queen Mother chose this way in order to keep the royal family.

But the matter did not end there, only a few months passed, and seeing that the storm had subsided, and the nobles were becoming more and more powerful, and there was no small threat to the royal power, Queen Anne recalled Masarino again.

Just like he had been when he was first banished.

His return also ignited the anger of Prince Condé, and he once again cooperated with Spain, but this time Viscount Tirrenne chose to side with the royal family, which made the royal family quite reassured.

However, what they didn't expect was that Viscount Tirrenne failed to defeat Prince Condé. Although the total strength of the rebels was around 10,000, the Spanish supported their 20,000 troops, making them extremely strong.

The French were unable to assemble too many troops in a hurry, and the rebels were fierce in their firepower, using a large number of artillery supported by the Chinese Dynasty, to bombard the phalanx of the Viscount of Tyrrenne, and the Prince of Condé defeated it.

Once again, Wang drove out of Paris. The young Louis XIV could not remember the first time he had been forced to leave the capital.

This left a deep shadow on his heart.

……

The battle continues.

The Prince led his army to fight the Viscount of Tyrrene on the outskirts of Paris, and unlike the original history, this time the Prince of Condé had the upper hand and quickly defeated the Viscount of Tyrrenne again, this time with superior forces, but still unable to defeat the Prince of Condé.

The Prince of Condé then took possession of Paris, and for a moment his prestige was shocked.

Masarino had no choice but to announce his resignation again.

This was the root cause of the outbreak of the war, and it was also an important reason why many people chose to support Prince Condé. Masarino's calculation is very good, as long as he goes into the wilderness, then Prince Condé will have no reason to continue to use troops, but things have already come to this point, and it is obviously not said that it can be stopped.

He could only keep fighting.

Then he will quickly lose the hearts and minds of the people, and then go to defeat.

And that's exactly what happened. After all, the revolt caused by Massarino's efforts to raise military funds, lending money to merchants, giving them the power to collect taxes, causing the people to be oppressed, and then arresting opponents.

Now that Masarino has stepped down and the purpose has been achieved, it is natural that there will not be so many people supporting the prince anymore.

However, due to the continuous supply of military supplies and arms assistance from the Chinese Dynasty, the fighting power of the rebel and Spanish coalition was still strong, and the French army was still unable to defeat the Prince of Condé even under this situation.

It's embarrassing.

At this time, the French treasury was also becoming more and more empty, and the continuous war caused their finances to be drained, and the army was also exhausted, and soon lost the ability to further attack.

By this time, the Prince of Condé had taken control of the entire northern part of France, including Paris.

……

The West is a mess, and the East has all sorts of affairs.

Dahua, on its part, has begun the first census after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to long-term natural disasters and wars, the overall number of people was sharply reduced, and the total population of the whole of China was only about 60 million.

Now, after this period of development, the population has finally made considerable progress.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, the total population of our country is now 125.72 million."

The person in charge of the Population Division under the Ministry of Household Affairs said.

Hearing this, Yan Quan and the ministers all showed smiles on their faces.

Of course, this is not only the population of Huaxia itself, in fact, this is the population gathered by adding the three provinces of Dongying, the Nanyang provinces, and the provinces of the southern continent.

But even so, the population growth is still obvious.

This is also a proof of the prosperity of his rule.

Then, the person in charge began to inform the specific number of people in each province, but at this time, Yan Quan's face was not so good-looking.

Without him, the population gap between the provinces is still very large.

Several large cities in the south have a population of three to four million, and their total population even exceeds that of some northern provinces.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, natural disasters and man-made disasters.

But having too little a population also has drawbacks.

Uneven development is one aspect, and on the other hand, there are places where you have too few people and you can't even control it.

What to do?

Only immigrants are enriched.

The Ministry of Household sent people to each province to investigate the number of people who could be accommodated in a habitable place, and after comprehensive consideration, reported it, and then began to emigrate.

The conditions for immigration set by the imperial court are still very favorable. After the relocation, the people can also enjoy a one-year tax exemption and a certain amount of financial subsidies, and even preferential treatment for the purchase of land.

Such conditions still make a considerable number of people excited.

The Jiangnan region is densely populated, and there are farmers in many places who want to farm, but they start a little late, and they find that the fields have been divided, but their theoretical share has not been used up, and they have not even bought a few acres.

Just to the north.

Industry is also developing there, factories are standing one after another, and it is a time when there is a shortage of people, and when you get there, you don't have to worry about finding a job.

After all, there were many displaced people in the past, and many residents of several provinces were settled down by the government on the spot, and now there is no such resistance.

Suddenly, there were quite a few applicants, and soon they signed the contract and confirmed the list.

This is a big project, and it was handed over to Mu Tianyang to be in charge, and he was the left waiter of the household department at this time.

This matter is important and complicated, but Mu Tianyang is the person who was personally activated by the first assistant Lin Yan back then, and he has also performed well in his position these days, and Yan Quan also deliberately focused on cultivating him as his team, so he handed it over to him with confidence.

He also did a great job, dividing the villages, building houses, arranging the movement of people from the provinces in batches, and distributing the fields in an orderly manner.

The steam locomotive rumbled, carrying a carload of people north.

Yan Quan stood in the attic, looking at the curling white smoke in the distant sky, his eyes showing excitement and longing.

In the future, when the population is a little larger, it will be possible to immigrate to the southern continent...... Large tracts of land sit idle.
