Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 455 The Great Migration

Under the guns of the border town alliance army, all adult males in the occupied areas were forcibly recruited. No matter what their status was before, whether they were lowly poor people or noble nobles, they are now an insignificant member of the recruitment. The only difference is that they will be in the future. Consume one or two enemy bullets, or choose to disobey orders and stain the bayonets of border town Union soldiers with your own blood.

Human life is so cheap, let alone anything else.

Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, everything they owned before now belongs to the Border Town Alliance. This makes many nobles who wrote letters to join the Border Town Alliance regret it. They should have joined the Glory Alliance directly in the first place. At least the titles of the Northland nobles will be recognized by the other party. You can also retain wealth.

But now it is too late to regret. They have lost the alliance army, lost the leading congressman, and did not resist when they were forcibly recruited. Now they are imprisoned in the barracks. What else can they do? What can they really dare to do? The alliance of the surrounding border towns The soldiers will definitely let them know what it means to kill without blinking an eye.

It was impossible to resist. They didn't even have weapons, only simple tools, so they were quickly pointed at gunpoint by soldiers from the Border Town Alliance to dig trenches and build fortifications. Their life was miserable.

What's even worse is that their relatives did not escape. All the food and wealth were systematically looted by the soldiers of the Border Town Alliance. Not even a piece of bread or a nail was left, and even the houses were destroyed. The requisition only left a piece of clothing that covered the body, which shows how ruthlessly the search was carried out.

Because you have lost everything, you must work according to the other party's orders if you want to survive. Only in this way can you get enough food to satisfy your hunger.

Therefore, even if you were a eloquent noble or a noble lady at a banquet the day before, you now have to sell your labor to get food to survive. You are even beaten less because your work is not as good as that of ordinary people. Your life is worse than death.

The Border Town Alliance's high-profile actions and cruel and immoral methods immediately caused panic among the half of the Noble Alliance members who belonged to the Glory Alliance.

Fortunately, the Glory Alliance has no forced conscription. In addition to reorganizing the surrendered Alliance troops, it also hires a large number of laborers to cooperate with the reserve corps in building fortifications at the border. This makes the nobles somewhat relieved and at the same time more cooperative, fearing that the Glory Alliance will find an excuse to raid their homes. Genocide.

Soon a large number of trenches and fortifications appeared on the border where the two armies were facing each other. However, the border city alliance was faster and more efficient. Even the cities near the border were built into war fortresses, and the materials were the houses of the people living in the city. , it can be said that everything occupied by the Border Town Alliance is for war, so even if it only occupies the population and territory of the fourth floor, it will still not fall behind.

In comparison, the Glory Alliance is much slower. It only recruits some young people to work, and then continuously migrates people to the territory to fill the large no-man's land between Beicheng and Mara City, and to expand The development area of ​​the territory.

This method of large-scale migration should have encountered huge resistance, but everything is afraid of comparison. Just look at the miserable conditions in the areas occupied by the border town alliance. Even the poor people who have nothing are unwilling to stay. After all, the Glory Alliance not only provides the needs for migration They also promised to distribute land to anyone willing to leave, so most people were willing to leave their homes that were about to become a tragic battlefield.

In fact, this is also related to the fact that the residents of the North are all immigrants. Although they don't want to leave their hometown, they are not too repelled. After all, their elders came here this way, and now they are just doing it again.

Before long, even the nobles of the original noble alliance could no longer hold on.

More and more people are choosing to migrate, and they have lost so much population that it is useless even if they own land, not to mention the outcome of this battle is unknown. Once the Glory Alliance is defeated, they will fall into the hands of the Border Town Alliance.

Thinking about the life that my colleagues lived in the border area occupied by the Alliance, it is not unacceptable to change territories. Not to mention safety, at least their titles will be recognized and they can get territories of the same size. As for population and other things, as long as they have money, At worst, it's better to hire someone than to stay and wait to die.

In an era when there was a general lack of education, every move of the nobles was more like a weather vane. Therefore, as soon as they left, people who were originally hesitant suddenly gave up their houses and fields and chose to move together.Just like the snowball effect, at first only poor people with nothing chose to migrate, and the number was not very large.

Later, the scale of civilians and nobles became larger and larger, from tens of thousands to millions. The increase was so large that the management of the territory felt tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, the territory had already prepared. Tens of thousands of reserve troops had built good roads and a large number of transfer stations between the Glory Alliance and the Noble Alliance in advance, providing necessary food, drinking water and medical care to ensure that the migration would not turn into a road of death.

Even so, the management of the entire territory is going crazy. After all, this is a population migration of more than one million people. Every aspect needs to be taken care of, and the workload is overwhelming.

If the Flame Queen's crystal ball extension had not been used on a large scale in the territory, statistics and scheduling have become extremely fast, and coupled with the obedience of the territory's population, I really don't know what would have happened.

At this time, the second batch of [-] reserve troops had been reorganized and escorted a large amount of supplies to escort the grassroots managers and monks of the territory to Mara City.

Here, they will register and divide the land for millions of relocated people. At the same time, they will also become managers and preachers of towns in the future, completely stamping their territory.

Resettling the population is not something that can be done casually. Even in modern times, it is inseparable from the two conditions of water and soil.

Without water, it is a dead end. Without land that can be cultivated, it will not last long, and there is an upper limit to the population that can be supported by the water and soil in a place. The problem of population reproduction must be taken into consideration, and development must be planned for at least a hundred years. This is even more complicated. .

If it weren't for the Flame Queen in the territory and the one-eyed giant eagle that acts as a satellite, the manpower, material resources, and time required to complete the plan would simply make people collapse.

Even so, planning still gives the grassroots managers responsible for execution a headache.

Had it not been for the fact that [-] of the relocated people were from Ferrier City and Solari City, a system-transforming population that could play a leading role, grassroots managers would have had even more headaches.

In order to reduce risks and strengthen management, after settling the first batch of relocated people, the territory began to hire laborers on a large scale to prepare to improve the already planned transportation network.

The territory likes to build roads, but it cannot build them in uninhabited areas. Therefore, after settling the relocated population, in order to facilitate future management, convenient and fast roads are necessary. Therefore, the main road between North City and Mara City is As the core, branch roads will be continuously extended in all directions. In order to increase efficiency, the territory even plans to build a railway. After all, after the war is won, the land of the noble alliance will also belong to the territory. By then, such a long distance cannot be covered by horse-drawn carriages or has not been completely completed. Mature vehicle delivery bar.

Once the transportation network plan is completed, the entire territory will be completely connected. Even if there is a large number of converted people, after knowing that the territorial army can arrive anywhere within a day, all the little thoughts will be carefully put away.
