Chapter 656: Joan of Arc's Daughter (Make-up Noon)
Xia City, the current Lord's Mansion became the Xia Palace, and Xia City, after a long period of development, was officially upgraded from a large city to a giant city, and merged with Langya City.
Chu Tian stood in front of the stone tablet of Xia Cheng and could see the details of Xia Cheng.
After merging with Langya City, Xia Cheng soon became a behemoth.

"1.3 million people ......"
Chu Tian was somewhat shocked when he saw the population size of the two cities after they merged. In the era of cold weapons, megacities with a population of one million were not common.
At this rate of development, there may be millions of people in the future.
Xia Cheng's various attributes have reached more than 90, and it is even more difficult to improve them.
Upgraded to a giant city, the scale of the Xia Wangfu has also become extremely large, even if it can accommodate hundreds of people, there is no problem.
In addition to the upgrade of Xia Cheng from a large city to a giant city, a major event also happened in the Lord's Mansion - the birth of Joan of Arc's child.
The Xia Wangfu was all shocked.
Xiao Xuan was taken to Xia Wangfu under house arrest, and he was already basically familiar with the interpersonal relationships of Xia Wangfu, and followed Emperor Roufu in and out to prepare hot water.
Because Chu Tian already had experience, he was not too nervous this time.
"Congratulations to the lord, he is a daughter!"
The maid in charge of the delivery came out to make a report.
In this way, he has two sons and two daughters?
Chu Tianyi moved, and went in to see Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc has completely forgotten about returning to France, and now all attention is on her daughter, who is also the little daughter of the Xia Palace.
Several women also came in to see Joan of Arc's daughter.
"How to Xia Wangfu, what kind of people have ......"
Xiao Sui found that there were not only strangers in the Xia Palace, but also a Roufu Emperor who was said to be a princess, Joan of Arc from France, and she was a Khitan hero, and there was also a lady from the Western Regions Protectorate next to the Xia Palace.
"Wu'er, you have another sister, you must protect your sister in the future."
Xia Liang hugged Chu Wu, and Chu Wu reached out and touched his sister's face.
"That's good......"
Huo Qing was a little envious, and until now Chu Tian didn't say anything to her.
In addition to Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, Ma Yunlu and others also came in to watch.
Because the Xia Wangfu had another daughter, Chutian granted amnesty to Xia Cheng, and the whole world celebrated.
Players in France were in an uproar knowing that the legendary hero of their civilization had children in the East, but to no avail.
"Lord, the captive that Miss Ye bought has arrived in Xia City."
While Chutian accompanied Joan of Arc and her youngest daughter, the French and English captives that Catherine had purchased from the barbarian camp were sent to Xiacheng.
At this time, the Knights of the Round Table and the Protectorate of France can be recruited to replenish the forces of King Arthur and Joan of Arc.
These captives were warriors captured by the barbarians when the lords of France and England were at war with the barbarians, and they belonged to a relatively good source of soldiers.
Dejected captives were sent to the barracks and transferred to special units.
The lords of France and England had sensed that Chutian was buying their population, but Chutian was buying the population from their enemies, so that the lords of France and England could only protest and not take effective measures.
The Knights of the Round Table were more well-equipped, only the population of the English knight class was eligible to become the Knights of the Round Table, while the French Protectorate, even peasants could be transferred to high-level troops, basically there were no equipment requirements, spears or scythes, could be used as weapons of the French Protectorate.
"There were 50 English knights and more than a thousand French peasants, and this was the first batch of prisoners to be bought. After all, the number of knights is too small and expensive. It seems that the big war on the Western Continent side is also tragic, otherwise there would not be so many prisoners. ”
Chu Tian counted the prisoners and barely replenished a group of servant troops.
Ekaterina did not do badly.
During this period, Mi Zhu, who had been active in Dongying, returned.
Mi Zhu is regarded as a high level of hard work, and was named the general of Pingwei by Chutian. This is a miscellaneous general set up by himself after Chu Tian became the king, mainly dealing with the affairs of the Dongying Civilization Zone.
Mi Zhu brought back news about Dongying District.
"Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu have defeated Takeda Shingen, Takeda Shingen's physical condition does not seem to be very good, and there has been a large-scale rebellion among the Takeda family's aliens, and many cities belonging to the Takeda family have been burned by fire, and it may be that the Oda family and the Tokugawa family are plotting against the Takeda family."
Mi Zhu took the initiative to visit Chutian and explain to him the changes in Dongying District.
"The Takeda family is Oda Nobunaga's biggest opponent, and if the Takeda family is torn apart because of the betrayal of the alien, then no one can stop Oda Nobunaga from unifying Toei, even Uesugi Kenshin."
When Chutian heard that Takeda Shingen had been defeated, he realized that Dongying's unification was accelerating.
Oda Nobunaga already has a demographic and economic advantage, and he can completely use his economic inferiority to consume his opponent to death.
Under the difference of several times the height of the stone, unless one of the sides lacks a famous player, it is likely to lose.
"Among Oda Nobunaga's generals, there are Minamoto Yoshitsune, Minamoto Yoritomo and others, if the lord wants to pacify Dongying in the future, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will be mobilized, and there will be a commander of the naval division."
Mi Zhu was in charge of the trade with Dongying, after all, Dongying had a population of twenty or thirty million in "Lord", which was equivalent to a state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was a huge market.
At the same time, Mi Zhu also knew that Chu Tian was fighting Dongying's idea and wanted to turn Dongying into a vassal country.
"After defeating Mingguan, it is natural to deal with Dongying. You try to win over Ping Yisheng, his position is not firm. ”
Chutian had no intention of attacking Dongying, and the two powerful opponents of Guanzhong and Liaodong were still eyeing each other.
The alien lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, has a close relationship with Xuzhou, and even sells arquebuses to Xuzhou, which is a partner who can cooperate.
"My subordinates understand."
Mi Zhu reported to Chutian about Dongying, and then returned to his hometown in Qu County to reunite with Mi Fang and others, who are now also a general.
The Mi family has two miscellaneous generals, who are already considered to be high-ranking and powerful in Chutian's forces, and they can be regarded as Chutian's reward for them.
Liaodong City, Ming Guan returned to this city from the fishing sea and brought back a group of Jin captives.
"I didn't expect to be beaten by Wanyan and escaped, and I almost captured him alive."
Ming Guan returned to the city, greatly annoyed by letting Wanyan Aguda escape this opponent.
"The King of Qin sent someone to discuss the matter of joining forces."
Fan Wencheng, a minister of the Liaodong Army, came to report after returning to Liaodong City in Mingguan.
"He's finally going to march into the Central Plains......"
Mingguan's face was solemn, and Lao Qin took the initiative to find him to join forces, so there was only one purpose - to march into the Central Plains.
Whether it is Lao Qin or Mingguan, fighting alone is not Chutian's opponent, after all, Chutian has a larger territory and more population, and his strength is strong.
"If the threat of the Mongol Empire is lifted, then Chu Zimou will become the biggest enemy, so the King of Qin will ask us to cooperate."
"But we still have some threats that have not yet been eradicated."
Mingguan groaned for a while, and asked people to take the map.
"Wanyan Aguta doesn't know where he fled, there are still remnants of the Liao State on the Horqin grassland, in order to prevent future troubles, it is necessary to eradicate the remnants of the Liao State and control the Horqin grassland in his hands."
Mingguan points to the location of the Horqin grassland.
This is a relatively fertile grassland.
The Liaodong Army and the Guanlong Army began to accumulate military strength, and the greatest enemy before the Han Empire, the Mongol Empire of Temujin, collapsed, so the contradictions within the Han Empire inevitably broke out.
In Yangzhou, Tongque led the Beifu Army and the Jiangdong Army to return to the newly established Jianye City.
Jianye City has been upgraded to a large city by Tongque, making up for the gap in history.
"Civil war could break out at any time, and we must march into Jingzhou as soon as possible."
Tongque and Sun Jian drank each other and discussed the matter of marching into Jingzhou.
Chutian hoarded heavy troops in Huainan, and before the outbreak of the civil war, it was more difficult to enter the Central Plains, so after Tongque became the king of Jiangdong Wu, like Sun Quan in history, he took the march into Jingzhou as his preferred target.
"Nanyang said that Tang's ambitions are not small, but he can jointly say Tang and try to plot against Jingzhou."
Zhou Yu also grew up at this time, and he was qualified to participate in big things.
At present, Zhou Yu is Tongque's general, but he has a relationship with Sun Ce, and the two have the same personality, so it is easy to make friends.
"I hope that before the outbreak of the civil war, we have already taken Jingzhou, righteous brother, and then we will work together to fight the country!"
Tongque toasted Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was already a Marquis of Wucheng because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Mobei, and now Sun Jian is in Jiangdong and has a higher position, even if Tongque has to rely on Sun Jian's strength to attack Jingzhou.
"There are 3,000 warships, which can be leveled."
When Sun Jian heard that Tongque planned to march into Jingzhou, he couldn't help but be angry.
After conquering Jingzhou, the territory and strength of the Jiangdong forces can be doubled, and they can even be ruled by dividing the river.
"There are Zhou Yu, Ling Lang, Xie Xuan, Liu Gaozhi and others, just Jingzhou, it's as easy as a finger."
Tongque looked at the surface of the Yangtze River, where thousands of warships were practicing.
He was not the largest prince of the Han Empire, but he had the largest naval division in the Han Empire.
In order to capture Jingzhou, he had been preparing for a long time, and the Battle of Mobei may have lost some troops, but the sailors did not lose a single bit.
"Dad, I want to go out with you when the time comes."
At the table, the young Sun Quan volunteered.
"No, you're too young."
Sun Jian opposed Sun Quan's Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and in Sun Jian's opinion, his son did not seem to have any talent for marching and fighting.
For the sake of Sun Quan's future, let him be a civil servant in the future. As for the generals, it is enough to have a son like Sun Ce.
Sun Jian pondered in his heart, and he could also see the talents of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
"Jingzhou ......"
After Zhou Yu officially came out, he had already made contributions to pacifying Shanyue, served as a captain under Tongque, and became one of Tongque's henchmen. And this time, the crusade against Jingzhou may be an opportunity to make war exploits and become a general.
Yang Shilang's Jingzhou Legion was also a strong enough opponent for the Jiangdong forces.
"What is Gong Jin thinking? Are you worried that you won't be able to take Jingzhou? ”
Sun Ce found that Zhou Yu was in a daze, so he took the initiative to ask.
Zhou Yu came back to his senses and chuckled: "It's not difficult to take Jingzhou. ”
