Chapter 243 Another year of spring is coming

The warm spring breeze has blown away the wind and snow for months, the cold winter has finally passed, and the footsteps of spring have arrived. Another year of spring is coming, everything is recovering, spring is blooming, people are getting rid of the troubles of winter, and they are also getting rid of the only little tiredness. This winter, probably, is the first beautiful winter in their lives. Hunger no longer comes, and there is enough food to satisfy your stomach every day. The cold no longer invades, the sturdy wooden walls, and the hot ondol make their bodies no longer cold.

These are just ordinary things that people who have just joined the company can enjoy. And people who join the company early have a happier life. Thermal underwear and down jackets from the 21st century allow them to move freely in the snow and ice with a small amount of clothing, while starting various production activities. Wages are generally half as high in winter, and this is an opportunity not to be missed for those who want a better life. Throughout the winter, the company's territory was still in full swing.

Even those civilians who have newly joined the company, driven by this trend, did not die at home because of the year's harvest, but came out to work, using their own hands in exchange for more and better living materials. In addition to the company's territory, there is also a sense of deformed prosperity in other places. Because of the war, everything has changed. Originally, in the cold winter, many people did not need to run in the wild every day. Guarding the land, a year's harvest can barely keep you from starving to death before the arrival of spring.

However, the British were depleted, and the French were crippled. Then the civilians began to be unlucky. The aristocracy has lost too many interests, so they can only squeeze the commoners at the bottom even more. If it weren't for the fear of causing a mass riot, the nobles would not have left them even a house, not a single piece of food. In order to ensure their survival and feed their relatives, civilians can only brave the frost and snow to hunt wild animals in the wild, so as to obtain enough food to fill their stomachs.

Some people, because they can't survive anymore, can only choose to flee. Like refugees, look for a place where they can survive. And the company has become their first choice. The strong forces in Xiao Lin's hands made the British and French people dare not act rashly, and they did not dare to prevent the exiles from fleeing, otherwise they would be attacked by the company's elite soldiers. The Yanhuang Trading Company has had bumper harvests year after year, and the food is open and cannot be eaten. However, Xiao Lin did not take it out to open any free porridge shop.

After the refugee's body is healed, everything except the house where the accommodation is located is no longer free. However, as long as you work hard, you can also exchange for enough food and clothing, and you can also leave a little Yanhuang coins to become savings. So, no one complains. Those who can stay away from their homeland and beg for a living on the North American continent are not good-for-nothing garbage. is those gangsters and thieves, most of them are also because they are so oppressed by the upper echelons that they can't survive, so they can only choose to throw themselves into the darkness. Besides, they didn't come with them this time.

By all means, the company has now become a giant force with a population of 400,000. Although it can't be compared with a big country with tens of millions of dollars at every turn, it is still enough for Xiao Lin to be fearless of Britain and France across the ocean. The company's development model is a more advanced, more scientific and more reasonable development model after the third industrial revolution. The law is modeled after the perfect law of the 21st century, and people do not have to worry about their lives and property being taken by those in power at will.

A large number of 21st century textbooks, advanced teaching models, and openness to the whole population continue to cultivate loyal talents for the company. The large number of applications of machinery has also liberated the labor force. The gross domestic product that 400,000 people can create is no weaker than that of a second-rate country with a population of millions in this era. If we add to this the huge trade deficit, the output value is even approaching that of a large country with a population of 10 million. There is no way, the company's various products are so exquisite and practical that it is impossible to prohibit buying and selling.

And the company's army has also begun to expand further. The field division was expanded by one brigade, the garrison division was expanded by two brigades, and the fourth brigade of Lin Xin before was added to form the second garrison division. The militia division was fully expanded by four brigades. The defense of non-major towns was given to the militia divisions. At the same time, a number of disabled soldiers and officers of the main forces retired and joined the police force. Now the company also has 5,000 police officers and 500 armed policemen.

Even the British and French, who had been beaten to the edge of the cliff by the company, had to continue to purchase the company's goods. In the first month of winter, the British finally waited for reinforcements from their homeland. A total of 20,000 men were sent over by a large transport fleet escorted by ten warships. There are no extra elite troops on the mainland, so except for 1,000 of the 20,000 people, who are elite members of the regular army, the others are all cannon fodder militiamen. Many of them were local criminals, and they were brought over with a musket and stuffed with a hand.

To be serious, these people can be regarded as a good help, but the commander is a brain-dead. It is said to be the gilded son of a large local family, as well as the noble title of viscount. With a group of miscellaneous troops, he dared to show the face of the three counts of Lin Man. Also because he was dissatisfied with the poor food and drink, he plundered the army, causing a riot in which both nobles and commoners participated. Earl Lin Man, who couldn't bear it, let his private soldiers do it, and in just three days, 20,000 people became their prisoners.

Again, it took so much time to capture the captives, and the private soldiers routed them in just one morning, and then began to search for those who had escaped. 20,000 people were divided among the three counts and became their serfs. It's not that they don't want these people to enter the private army and expand their military strength, but the three counts who are too far-sighted don't look down on them. Their private army is equipped with Hall M819 and heavy punches, plus the military knowledge learned from the company, the private army has completed the transformation.

Now their quality is actually close to that of the Prussian army in the early 19th century. After this battle, the local Gundam image was completely bankrupt. The nobles had other thoughts, since their private army could now be easily managed even by the local army, then why should they be oppressed. If it weren't for the powerful "master" of the company, I am afraid that they themselves would have started the American Revolutionary War.

The French are also very strong and recharged. The donations of the major nobles gave Carrot enough money to expand his army. Using the remnants of his old foundation, Carrot raised an army of 30,000 troops. However, only one-third of them can fight to the level of the regular army. can be counted as elite, and there are only 3,000 in number. Carrot was so complacent about this that he tested the British's abilities. took advantage of the fight between Lin Man and the three of them and the stupid viscount.

As a result, they were united by the private armies of other nobles and dragged on with trench fortifications for half a month, until the private armies of the three Lin Man resolved the battle and came to the front line. Seeing that spring was approaching, Carrot was afraid that the company would start to attack, so he did not fight the British and withdrew directly. However, in this way, there is basically no morale on the French side. thought that he could rely on these 30,000 soldiers to turn the tables, but it turned out that even the current British could not defeat them, and the rich and powerful nobles began to leave North America by ship.

The British people saw the arrival of spring, and began to come alive. Corinth was stationed in the starting town, and whenever he was free enough to see Chaulin, he would persuade him to continue attacking the French, so that they could follow him for a sip of soup. Xiao Lin naturally planned to start the offensive again, but he still had things to deal with, and he was not in a hurry for the time being. Previously, the offensive was stopped shortly after the onset of winter, mainly to digest the captured land, and winter was the best time.

In this era, transportation is inaccessible, and even more so in winter. Even if it's a spy or something, you can't say it's 100% safe in the wild. There are no outsiders to disturb them, and in the winter, people's reserves are insufficient, and they need to rely on corporate relief. This popular will naturally leans towards the past. Winter passed, everyone was integrated into the company's big group, and the sergeants were repaired, their morale was high, and they could attack at any time. However, Xiao Lin was not in a hurry.

He didn't expect that so many things would be done this winter. First of all, the company received a total of 2,973 talents from the 21st century who have received higher education and other talents. These people began to move to the starting town one by one. In addition to many relatives who came over and were afraid that they would be exposed because of their long-term disappearance, the remaining 2,300 people needed Xiao Lin to resettle. The villas are built, but there are also a lot of things like distribution, and it is necessary to examine their abilities and arrange suitable jobs.

At the same time, the mining and power generation equipment has been brought back, and Xiao Lin needs to keep an eye on it in the early stages of installation, commissioning and starting work. If you don't dig up enough gold before the time comes, you won't be able to get back the weapons that are enough to crush any army of this era. At this time, the Chinese side came to notice again, and the first batch of weapons and equipment had been repaired and debugged. Everything was secretly loaded onto the ship, ready to sail to the agreed place with the public opinion of the export of civilian goods.

And the battleships purchased by Xiao Lin also began to be refurbished, and when the last batch was delivered, they were delivered together. Otherwise, so many warships, even if they are small warships, will attract the attention of other countries. Waiting for the last batch, Xiao Lin took advantage of the last opportunity to take it away and never come back. There are important things on both sides that Xiao Lin needs to be in charge of, if it weren't for Yu Wei and Pearl who had already exercised out, Xiao Lin would have been so busy that he wouldn't have time to sleep.

If you want to attack the French, you have to wait at least until this busy peak has passed. And the army also happened to help Tuntian and complete spring ploughing.
