1799 The Ambition of the Central Beans (10)

Xu Dongli almost unreservedly stated that his purpose was for iron ore, and the Gauls were unwilling to provide iron ore, so Xu Dongli hoped to get it from the Falcon Empire, listening to Li Yuehua's report, the fat man's eyes lit up and glanced at Xu Dongli, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and asked Li Yuehua, "What did you just say he was in charge of in Zhongbia?" The official position of the caster in the Central Belian Empire is not high, but it is a very important position, and the Central Belgians want iron ore, and they are afraid that the Gauls will fool themselves, so it is reasonable to send a caster who knows how to make a craft!" "All kinds of master craftsmen...... So does he know how to weave a loom? Sue him, if he does, iron ore is not a problem!" The fat man's eyes have narrowed into a line, like a fox staring at a fat hen, "Loom ......" Li Yuehua was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what the Vechia Falcon wanted to do, she was also a Zhongbia, although she was a wealthy family, but she also knew that the textile machine was really nothing in Zhongbia, and she didn't dare to say that every household had it, but even if there was one within thirty families, there were more than 20 people in her own family! After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuehua walked over and whispered to Xu Dongli, "Do you understand the textile machine, if you understand, say it quickly, maybe it can save your life."

Xu Dongli became excited for a moment, his eyes were purring, it was really a good thing that fell from the sky and hit his head, he is a craftsman, of course he knows about textile machines!

I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart, in order to show my extraordinary. He replied to Li Yuehua with contempt, "I know how to weave a textile machine, if I can give me iron ore, I can even draw you the latest drawings of the textile machine, it is a master craftsman surnamed Huang in the Central Biya Empire who has just reformed and developed a set of textile machines, including the tools of rushing, playing, spinning, and weaving, seeding and churning the car, playing the cotton vertebral arch, three-spindle pedal spinning car, and a set of more advanced weaving techniques such as "wrong yarn, color matching, heald, and flowers", which can weave a beautiful pattern, bright and picturesque, as long as I give me enough iron ore. I'll give it all to you!"

The fat man who got the answer was overjoyed for a while, and he really let himself pick up a treasure, such a fool would know the impact of the loom on this world! Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, clothing is even in front of meals, the empire has enough wool, but there is no machinery that can transform it into clothes,

Today, Obaro and Ikadivar still use the most primitive hand-weaving techniques, rudimentary and underground, except for the nobility who can afford to buy the precious wool obtained through the guò trade. Tong guò tailors cut beautiful clothes, rough linen clothes are the daily clothes of most people, and there is only one color, gray,

The fat man asked all the great craftsmen in the country. No one knew of such a thing as a loom, but among the Central Belian merchants, there were already people who began to sell large sections of silk, and the price was to death. It was almost equivalent to gold, but the big merchants and nobles still flocked to it. "Let him draw the drawings, as long as they are made and prove usable. Give him as much iron ore as he wants!"

The fat man couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said very arrogantly. What is iron ore, the number of the empire's mines is more than a thousand, here is thousands of miles away from the Central Belgian Empire, and it has to cross the territory of the Gauls, I don't believe that you can take a large amount of iron ore on the road, as long as the drawings are drawn and made, the rest is easy to say, Li Yuehua took Xu Dongli down, and immediately two painters accompanied him to draw drawings, this kind of professional work still needs professionals, because of the language barrier, only Li Yuehua will serve as a translator

Stretching out in his seat, the fat man suddenly snorted a spirit, no, he arrested this guy to inquire about the movement of the Central Bia Empire, why did he send him to draw drawings in a blink of an eye!"Your Majesty, good news!" Salon's crying voice came from outside the hall door, and this guy trotted in with a piece of information in his hand, "Hasenlimpo's Sixth Army has cleared the intersection, and now there is no obstacle in front of the army!" "Hasenlimpo has withdrawn?" The fat man blinked his eyes in disbelief, he had been designed by himself countless times, and he could still be like a stinky and hard guy like a stone in a pit, did he also feel that his army was going to step on him, and he slipped one step ahead? Could it be that today is his lucky day, the fat man immediately walked to the front of the map on the wall, looked for it on the map, and asked, "What is the direction of Hasenlampo's evacuation?" "The direction of the northeast departure!" Salonn replied excitedly. When the scouts were patrolling this morning, they found that Hasenranbo's Sixth Army had abandoned Zenran, and now Zenran was an undefended area!""Algernonkatya's 110,000-strong army came along the southwest, and Hasenranpo withdrew to the northeast!'The fat man's face was a little stern, and he did not have the expected joy, he took the pen with a solemn gaze, one south and one north, and drew a circle at the intersection on the map, "How does it look like a confluence!"

The Gallic city of Danni

In late summer and early autumn, the streets of Danny are as bright as the sunset, and the trees planted on both sides of the street are in full bloom at this time. Patches of red flowers weave into the middle of the leaves, gently rippling in the summer breeze. From time to time, there would be withered red petals falling in the wind, swept up and whirled by the wind, until finally perched on a corner of the street, making the whole street so pale red, as if there was an infinite flame beating slightly.

Danny in the Gallic language means "glow", naturally located on the hillside behind the city on the fortress is also called "castle glow", which means that the sun rises every day, will shine on the top of the castle for the first time, the terrain here is higher than other terrain in the basin, is the highest point in the hinterland of Gaul basin in the strategic, tall peaks, snow-capped tops, desolate castles eroded by countless years, from above you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the whole area, is one of the famous local scenery,

At the height of the fort, a large number of nobles came to see it every year. The previous owner of the castle was Prince Frederick, a very romantic fellow, who lived only 23 years because of an incurable congenital lung disease, and in his short life, the greatest achievement was to make Danny an unforgettable sight and a dazzling wealth in the mouths of the people, and he ordered that the city below the castle should be planted only with rosy leaves and glowing trees, because he believed that the more simple and neat the tone. The more he was able to shock people, he spent a full 400,000 gold coins on it. In the end, even the castle was sold

"You're saying that the Vecchia Falcon was assassinated, is the news confirmed?"

In a room in Fort Danny, the famous Gallic general Hasenrimbaud threw the report on his desk in disbelief. He looked at the attendant of the Algernon family who came to deliver the information, and asked in an uneasy tone, "You must know that what that guy is best at is deception, and when he learned that the 110,000 troops of the Northern Army were about to arrive, it was completely possible to release such a smoke-like false news! Isn't it too childish to adjust the direction of surveillance just because of speculation!" "It shouldn't be wrong, our people reported that there was a fierce battle in a street in the city that night that lasted for more than an hour. In the end, the military dispatched a large number of men and captured many people! The Governor's Palace of the Southwest immediately sealed off the nearby streets, and that night, our men found that the Vecchia Falcon had not returned all night. I haven't seen anyone in the back all the time!"

The attendant who delivered the letter was a middle-aged man with a stern face, dressed in dust, his hair and clothes were dyed gray, and the red gown with the coat of arms of the Algernon family was red and white.

He was Algernonkatya's most trusted servant, and he smiled awkwardly at Hasenrimbau's questioning, "My lord also thought that this might be the smoke released by the Vecchia Falcon. However, adults think that when the Falcon Empire has the advantage of military strength, it is not beneficial for the Falcon Empire to spread such news! You must know that the Vekia Falcon is known as the imperial military god, and the Falcon Empire's army is ready to move on the border, and when the army is conquering, it is taboo in the army to spread the news of the emperor's danger! So the only possibility is that the assassination incident that night affected the Vekia Falcon, although it is just a guess, but it is an important clue that is enough to change the entire battle situation, the adult is still on the way, and specially instructed the little one to come and ask the adult to find a way to figure out this matter!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate this matter!" Hasenlampo was silent for a moment, thinking that what the middle-aged man said was also right, if the Vikia Falcon was really attacked, then God bless Gaul, it is already the end of August, and it only needs to be delayed to enter the winter

Hasenranpo got up from his seat and went to the window, staring out the window at the glow of the mountains, which were the purest and densest of all the Gallic basins, and the reddening season was at its peak, just at the end of August, when the summer and autumn were cool. Hasenrampo's gaze was a little foggy, and Danny's surroundings were rolling hills and mountains, and they were also planted with large and small sunset trees, which were full of poetic and picturesque feelings. It's just a pity that the beautiful scenery of the sunset mountain can't change Daniel's bleak atmosphere.

All the streets of Daniel, shrouded in the red, were deserted and deserted, except for some of the soldiers patrolling the streets, there were no people, the shops on both sides of the streets were all closed, the walls on the outskirts of the city were transformed into tall and solid facades, and the walls on the outskirts of the city were heavily increased with the panels on which archers stood, and there were countless small ramparts being built on the periphery of the city, and the Gallic soldiers patrolled back and forth on the streets. Dressed in the blue armor of the Sixth Army of Gaul, they reminded the other creatures of the city that people still existed

Amid the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, a group of arrogant Gallic Janissary cavalry galloped through the streets, red cloaks fluttering in the wind, Hasenlimpo's eyebrows frowned in displeasure, this is the forward cavalry sent by Algernonkatya, Fort Danny was not so deserted before, but thanks to these Gallic Janissaries, there are no civilians in the city now, although commercial trade is not as prosperous as the economy of the big city. But as the commanding height of the hinterland of Gaul, it was a cross hub to the capital of the empire and the north.

Sundries from the Northwest, leather from the North, and luxury goods from Kyoto all pass through here without exception, and the transaction volume is very large. A large number of horses were also sold from other places to the interior of the empire every year, becoming one of the main sources of cavalry horses for the Gallic Empire, and at the same time, large quantities of salt, sugar and other commodities were exchanged for other places, however. Since the Falcon Empire moved into the hinterland, Danny's strategic position has surpassed its commercial position, and it has suddenly come out of the blue.

The commanding heights of the hinterland basin, the center of gravity of the north-south connection, this is destined to be a strategic place that needs to be bloodshed, Algernon Katya, who has just taken over the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, has taken a fancy to this place, and after he was captured alive by the Vecchia Falcon in Biye Valley, he learned from the pain and came to an experience, the Falcon Army is well-armed. The elite of combat power, and the army has been resting for two months, and it is at the peak of morale and combat power, even if the northern army led by himself is not bad, but if he takes the initiative to attack, the end will be very miserable,

What Vekia Falcon does best is to lead the enemy into a battlefield in its favor, and then fight it,

Biye Valley is so. The Sola River is like this, every thunderous blow of the Empire, as long as it is dispatched, it will be forced into a dangerous trap step by step by this cunning guy, just look at Hasenlimpo's table in Rasti Xiàn can be found. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, a watertight defense like Hasenlimbo. It is an effective way to correctly resist the sharp blades of the Falcon Army!

Algernon Katya, who led the 110,000 northern Gaulic army to the west, was still on the way, and he couldn't help but give an order to Hasenlimpo, who was still stranded on the western front, asking Hasenlimpo to withdraw the Sixth Army to Danni, which was on higher ground. And quickly stabilize the defense, on the one hand, for the control of this strategic node, and on the other hand, it is also to be able to pass through the prosperous business of the place. Prepare for the 110,000 army in advance,

You must know that the 110,000 troops transferred from the north have not been rested, and the supplies obtained are also temporarily responsible for the provinces along the way, if there is a battle that lasts for more than a month, it is impossible to rely only on local supply supplies, the army needs enough food to hold on, and it needs clothing to withstand the cold winter winds, it is now August, it has entered autumn, and it is not far from the pace of winter, Algernonkatya's goal is to drag the Falcon army into the harsh winter in Danni, and do his best to buy time for the empire to recover from the northern war,

Hasenrampo, who received the order, did not know what Algernonkatya wanted to do at first, Algernonkatya only mentioned that the army was in urgent need of supplies, but did not mention anything related to money, so Hasenlampo specially submitted a report to Algernonkatya on the required funds, and Algernonkatya gave him the answer that the first 2,000 forward cavalry arrived, and the cavalry swept the villages of Danni, which had hoarded grain, and at the same time used control and oppression methods for the merchants in the city.

Ordered the banning of all shops, confiscated the assets of all local merchants, and forced merchants to convert all their property into fields, even though most of these fields were located in the occupied areas occupied by the Falcon Empire. Once it is discovered that someone is engaged in business activities in private, it will immediately be the consequence of the crime of capital enemies, and for a time the whole Danny will fall into a panic, and under normal circumstances, it is found that the capital enemies are all hung up and starved to death. It is not unsurprising that in the trees of the suburbs, one or two hanged people occasionally appear, and the corpses are generally buried under the trees, which are said to be the most nutritious fertilizer.

Hasenrampo had no right to stop this, it was the Gallic Emperor's Praetorian Guards who captured people, and he could only watch the people sent by Algernon Katya arrest people everywhere in the city, with one purpose, to force money and food! Some were merchants, some were small nobles in the nearby area, and they were all guilty of collaborating with the enemy, and if they wanted to live, they had to take money and food to ransom them, and the prison officer had just come to complain that the prison was already overcrowded, and whether it was possible to arrest a few fewer people, Hasenranpo could only smile bitterly

He understood that this time the 110,000 mighty army marched westward, it seems that the military might is exciting, in fact, there is no money at all, in the first two months, Kyoto supplied the northern front to fight, in order to recruit more soldiers to support the north, the entire treasury has been completely spent, and now the focus is shifted to the western front, there is no money at all, and the western front needs to solve it by itself in a month or more, which is one of the reasons why Algernon Katya was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the western front,

Algernonkatya's reputation is already stinking on the streets, and this kind of thing is enough to make countless people hate it to the bone, so don't pull anyone else!

The Gallic Janissaries were able to reclaim the area except for the rich Fort of Denny. Only the southern region is slightly richer, and the northern regions of Bato and Turk are small towns, and they are often attacked and ravaged by bandits, and they are overwhelmed.

In the brutal harvest, the inhabitants fled the area, leaving most of the fields in the Bato and Turk regions barren. The material is scarce, and the supply of food is also strictly insufficient.

Hasenrampo couldn't even imagine what it would be like if he stationed another army of 110,000 people here. (To be continued......)
