After three days of counting, the expeditionary force collected more than 40,000 catties of gold and silver coins, more than 200 carts of jewelry, jade and enamel ware, more than 60 carts of oil paintings and other works of art, and no counting of cloth, grain, weapons and ammunition.

It's a pity that there are many sculptures, reliefs, murals, etc. in the palace, although Chang Yu knows that he can't be a scholar, but he also knows which relief murals must be of great artistic value, but this thing can't be taken away.

The Tsar's throne in the Duoleng Palace was torn down, as was the clock in Ivan the Great's bell tower, and it is said that Liu Honggradually planned to reorganize the clock to the Institute of Engineering and use it as the iconic alarm clock in the Institute.

Over the next few days, the expeditionary force reveled in repairs and revelry, and the Kremlin filled the Kremlin with countless corpses of war horses, enough for them to eat for a long time.

In order not to run out of food on the return journey, the Huotou army had a very heavy task, and in addition to the supply team of more than 5,000 people who arrived a few days ago, they had to cook for the more than 60,000 soldiers of the whole army on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to prepare spare military rations for the return journey.

Horse meat, beef and mutton are baked with salt to make jerky, and rice and wheat collected from Kremlin caches are re-bagged.

Compared with the food, the vodka that had been stored in the Tsar's dormitory for a hundred years was more favored by the soldiers, and with the acquiescence of Liu Hongchuan, these Europa liquor were distributed to more than 50,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force as a celebration of the western expedition.

"My lord, what should we do with the hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa civilians in the city? It seems that a lot of them starved to death last night, and we don't have any more food to give them. Chang Yu said with a frown.

The food problem of the expeditionary force has always been very serious, after all, 50,000 or 60,000 people eat horses every day, which consumes a huge amount of money, and in winter Siberia is barren everywhere and there is no food to grab.

"Give them some of the grain that is in the storehouse, and oh and the dead horses, and eat the good meat for themselves, and give them the rest of the entrails, horses' heads, and horses' hooves." Liu Hong teased after a little consideration.

More than 20,000 horses died in the Kremlin World War I on both sides, of course, most of them were from the Rakshasa country, more than 20,000 war horses according to one war horse 1,200 catties, and the meat of a war horse can be eaten by ten people for a month, in fact, the heavy horses of the Rakshasa country can feed a good weight of 1,800 catties.

There are too many dead horses, and the internal organs can't be stored for a long time and can't be eaten in a short time, just do some good deeds, I heard that the Europa people don't like to eat animal offal, and it is estimated that after this war, it will also change the eating habits of this group of Rakshasa people, Liu Hong gradually said happily in his heart.

"But my lord, we don't necessarily have enough for ourselves, if we distribute it to those civilians, it's okay to say that the time is short, do you plan to take this group of civilians back to Daming?" I often ask questions.

These days, Liu Hongjian has not revealed to his subordinates how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Rakshasa Kingdom, and he has everything in the barracks.

The Mongol soldiers led by Baba thought that they had killed them directly, the infantry army led by Lin He thought that they should stay in the area around Moscow to farm, and Kong Ermao thought that they should be brought back to Daming to mine.

The mining industry in the interior of Daming is now in full swing, with the advanced prospecting and smelting technology of the Institute of Engineering, and all kinds of metal mines in the mainland of Daming have sprung up.

It's just that mining is hard work, and the danger factor is extremely high, and the mortality rate has been high, which is a headache for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and in order to develop the so-called industry of Liu Hongji, the Ministry of Households has to pay higher salaries to hire miners.

If you want to save money, there is another good trick, which is to use prisoners to act as miners through war, not only do you not need to pay wages, but you don't have to worry about the miner's family making trouble and asking for compensation after death.

For example, the descendants of wild boar skins a few years ago are now serving in the silver mines of Hadashan, and it is said that the imperial court was very satisfied with the captured miners and hoped that more would be better.

"Hehe, it won't be long, just a few days." Liu Hong said casually.

It is impossible for him to massacre so many civilians, it was a last resort before, and now it is not necessary.

At the same time, he didn't want to leave this group of people in the local area, that would be too risky, this foreign race has no national identity, and the probability of rebellion in the future is extremely high, which is not the same as Mongolia, the Mongolian people have been dealing with Han culture for thousands of years, Liu Hongjian is not worried at all.

It is even more impossible to bring all of them back to Daming, bringing 50,000 or 60,000 people back to Daming has already given Liu Hong a headache, not to mention bringing hundreds of thousands of more people, and the formation of tens of thousands of miles, it will be almost fatal.

Although Chang Yu didn't know what Liu Hongjian had in his heart, since Liu Hongjian had already given the order, as a subordinate, he had to carry it out to the letter.

Anyway, when the expeditionary force ran out of food, it would definitely be a headache for the prince, and after thinking about it, Chang Yu immediately went to carry it out.

Compared with the civilians of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Liu Hongjian has more headaches, and the reason is very simple, the territory he has beaten this time is too big, so large that it is at least twice or even more than the territory of the previous Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Liu Hong felt that the Russians occupied such a large territory in later generations very domineering, and he was worried about the forcible cession of Chinese territory in modern times.

In fact, the modern Rakshasas did not eat less land of the Qing Empire, and the Treaty of Aihui cut 600,000 square kilometers, the Treaty of Beijing cut another 400,000 square kilometers, the Tacheng Protocol cut 440,000 square kilometers, the Uriya Sutai Boundary and the Kobdo Boundary about 150,000, and the Ili Treaty cut another 70,000.

If you add the Outer Alliance Gu, which became independent due to the conspiracy of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the modern Rakshasa Kingdom has eaten a total of 3.65 million square kilometers of land.

3.65 million square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to a Dongying.

It's just that now Liu Hong has gradually taken advantage of the lack of people in the Rakshasa country to finally take over this huge territory, but he is worried again.

How to govern it? Immigration? In later generations, it was so difficult to relocate residents, and now it is easy to talk about peace?

At this time, the people were deeply infiltrated by Confucianism, and they paid more attention to their homeland than later generations, and they returned to their roots.

So what about letting the Menggu brothers move west? It's even more unreliable.

Liu Hongjian was very worried that the Mongol brothers would become wild when they moved there, and the Mongol Empire had a painful pain in this regard, unless the Menggu brothers had a strong sense of national identity.

But how difficult it is to make so many ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty identify with Han culture, Liu Hongjian can't imagine it, and now the information transmission is so slow, it can't be achieved in a short time.

In later generations, he always thought that there were too many Chinese, so much so that all the Chinese people struggled all their lives just to buy a house of their own, but now think about the good of more people, if Daming has more population, so much that Daming's existing land cannot support so many people, limited to instinct and naturally there will be people who consciously move out.

It seems that family planning is going to be carried out, alas! There is still a long way to go!

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, the person Liu Honggradually had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
