On February 23, the fifth year of the Beacon Continent Era, this day is the Spring Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Xiao Chen led an army of millions four months ago, sent troops north, destroyed the Buni Kingdom and the Shalu Kingdom successively, and obtained more than 130 cities. However, the Beichen army also paid a heavy price as a result, with nearly three million casualties, which far exceeded the losses of the attack on the Uzi State.

Three million loyal souls fell forever on the battlefield of the rise of the Beichen Kingdom. In exchange, tens of millions of people in Beichen Kingdom have obtained enough land and sought a new life for tens of millions of families. Their death has temporarily alleviated the critical land problem in Beichen, which is the luck of the entire Beichen Kingdom. It is precisely because Beichen Kingdom has so many people who are going to die that it is now powerful. Without them, Beichen Kingdom is nothing.

Therefore, today, a few days after the Beichen Army occupied the entire territory of Shalu Kingdom, it was the day of the Spring Festival. Xiao Chen and all the soldiers of the army were in the camp outside the city to worship the brothers who died in this war. Millions of armies gathered, and Xiao Chen stood on a newly built altar.

The altar is ten meters high, nine meters long and wide, and there are 28 large flags around it, and the center is the golden dragon battle flag with a red background in the north of the country. Outside, around the altar stood 7749 elite armor soldiers, each armed with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. Around the stage, there are five million Beichen troops, and there are hundreds of phalanxes, arrayed around the altar, and there is no edge in sight. Countless Beichen Army officers and soldiers stood in formation, and everyone knew what the first thing to do today was the Chinese New Year's Eve, so no one spoke.

Millions just stood there silently, their eyes just the altar in front of them. Maybe they can't see the altar, or maybe they can see the altar and see Xiao Chen. But none of this is anything anymore, as long as you know what you should do next. Today is destined to be a solemn day, and the death of millions of brothers will not make all the Beichen soldiers unhappy in their hearts. Because today is the New Year, millions of people in China are waiting for their son and father to return home, but they do not know that their relatives have died bravely on the battlefield.

For the dead comrades-in-arms, all the officers and soldiers of the Beichen Army have respect in their hearts, and they are worthy of learning from themselves.

Xiao Chen quickly adjusted his mood, stood on the altar, and said loudly: "Beacon Continent, the flames of war are stirring up the clouds. My Beichen Kingdom took advantage of the situation and fought on the battlefield with 3,000 soldiers. Now, a few years have passed, and the hardships of the past are vividly visible. Now, my Beichen Kingdom is one of the world's great powers, and no one should compete for hegemony in the world. All of this is because the officers and men of our Beichen Army used their lives, bravely killed the enemy, and cut through thorns and thorns, so as to create a piece of the world. Today, the king is on this altar to mourn the warriors who fell on the road to the rise of the Beichen Kingdom. ”

"Over the years, the Beichen Kingdom has continued to expand and fight, and millions of Beichen soldiers have died on the battlefield. You are all the elite of my Han family, you are all heroes of the Han family, for the survival of the nation, you are not afraid of powerful enemies, and move forward bravely. I, Chen Xiaotian, thank you here, it is precisely because of your existence that I can still stand here. ”

"Loyal souls, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve of my Han family, and millions of soldiers of the Beichen Army have specially given you New Year's greetings!"

After speaking, Xiao Chen bowed, and then offered poultry, grains, money, yellow paper and other sacrificial things.

"The Han family holds the halberd and expands the territory to step on others. The shroud of the battlefield battle is returned, and it should be the Tianguan of the Loyal Soul Town. ”

After the sacrificial objects were placed, Xiao Chen personally wrote a poem and threw it into the brazier. After that, bow three more times as a tribute to the deceased.

After the ceremony, Xiao Chen sang a poem: "The Han family's sons hold the halberd and open up the territory to step on others." The battlefield battle shroud is returned, and it should be the Tianguan of the Loyal Soul Town! ”

Millions of soldiers in the audience also felt and shouted: "The Han family is holding the halberd and opening up the territory to step on others." The battlefield battle shroud is returned, and it should be the Tianguan of the Loyal Soul Town! ”

Millions of soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices shook the earth and wept ghosts and gods, spreading for dozens of miles.

A simple sacrifice showed Xiao Chen's concern for the soldiers of the Beichen Army, and it also moved the hearts of more Beichen soldiers to the heart, and they all swore in their hearts to swear to serve the king. This was something Xiao Chen didn't expect, and the main reason for this sacrificial ceremony was that Xiao Chen felt sorry for the fallen soldiers and their relatives. As the New Year approaches, he takes them out of his hometown and on the battlefield in a foreign country. Today, millions of soldiers have fallen on this land, while their relatives are still waiting for them to return home for the New Year. When he thought of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shed tears, millions of soldiers!

After the sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Chen let all the troops in the audience disperse, today is the New Year, and he has to have a good time. The mood of the soldiers adjusted quickly, after all, they were also soldiers. Since he chose to join the army and fight on the battlefield, he was mentally prepared for a long time. Now this sacrifice is just a kind of nostalgia and envy for their fallen brothers, and perhaps they will not know where they will die one day.

Sadness comes and goes quickly. Today is the New Year, and the sad mood of the sacrifice has long been drowned out by the joy of the New Year. Countless firecrackers rang out in various military camps. The sound of thunderclaps, thick smoke, and red firecracker paper scattered everywhere, all the joy was expressed in these artillery battles.

In the endless sound of firecrackers, even Xiao Chen, who was not in a good mood, was very happy. This is the New Year, the favorite festival of the Chinese, which can never be changed.

The cheerful day was coming to an end soon, and on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire barracks still had a continuous cannon sound. Countless soldiers of the Beichen Army were in the barracks, or they were playing games, or they picked up wine bottles and began to fight each other. Even those servants and soldiers who didn't understand the New Year very well were infected by this celebratory atmosphere, and mixed with the rest of the Beichen soldiers to spend this beautiful day.

At the same time, on this day, it also showed the friendliest side of the Han family. The servants and soldiers of the servant army and the previous surrender army, the happy soldiers of the Beichen army all sent them some meat, as well as fine wine, and dumplings with white flowers. These dumplings are all hand-made by some big men in the barracks, so don't mention the appearance. Anyway, Xiao Chen feels that his mouth should be growing a little bigger, have you ever seen a dumpling bigger than the palm of your hand?

As night fell, there was silence in the barracks. Countless red cloths and a small number of red lanterns hung in the barracks, but the officers and men of the Beichen Army had already entered the houses and began to chat. On this night, you should not sleep, you should stay up late. I don't know when this custom was handed down, and Xiao Chen didn't understand what it meant, but Xiao Chen knew that he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

"Pengju, you will send a message to Wen Ruo in a while, telling him to take the lead in relocating the relatives of those fallen soldiers to Sanguan County and Linhai County. Those millions of soldiers died on the battlefield for us, and captured more than 100 cities in the country of Buni and Shalu, and their relatives should be the first to migrate to these lands, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the fallen soldiers. Xiao Chen said to Yue Fei beside him.

Yue Fei nodded silently, what his own king said was also reasonable. The soldiers died on the battlefield, and if they can't give their relatives some compensation, I'm really sorry for the loyal souls.

Xiao Chen smiled, and then said, "Okay, Pengju, don't fall asleep tonight, tomorrow will be the first day of the new year." ”

"yes, it's been a pretty fast year. Then the general will step back for the time being! After speaking, Yue Fei bowed and withdrew from the big tent.

For a while, Xiao Chen was the only one left in the entire big tent, and he was suddenly about to die.

Xiao Chen walked to the front of the military map and looked at Linhai County and Sanguan County, which had now turned red. To the west of the two counties is the abominable principality on which the sun never sets. The four nations merged to become the first principality on the Beacon Continent. Subsequently, the Duchy released a flood on the Beichen Army, killing millions of Beichen Army soldiers in one go, and this revenge had to be avenged.

It's just that Xiao Chen looked at the geographical location of the Duchy where the sun never sets, and the more he looked at it, the more sad he became. The Erbuna River traverses its territory, and the Beichen army can advance directly westward through the Great River. However, according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, there are thousands of warships in the country where the sun never sets. Although most of them are small ships, and there are not many large warships, they are more harmful to the Beichen Naval Division. If you want to go down the river, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

On the land, there are many dangers, and the closest thing to Linhai County is the Lonnago Fortress. The fortress is built on a mountain, and the fortress is flanked by peaks hundreds of meters high, and the widest width of the fortress before the fortress is only a little more than a thousand meters. In this way, for the Beichen Army, the fortress of Lonago is too much of a block. However, there is no good way to take this fortress easily.

You must know that the country where the sun never sets has at least a million troops in this fortress, and in the south it is a fortified city that falls in love with Sanguan County. The country of the sun never sets has also deployed no less than 500,000 troops here, and it will not be too easy for the Beichen army to take it down. If the Beichen army wants to attack the country where the sun does not set, it can only attack from these two places and along the river, and the opposite is true for the country where the sun does not set. It's just that if the sun never sets to attack Beichen Kingdom, there will be no steep passes in Linhai County at all, only the fortified city of Shalu City. Sanguan County is much better, with three levels of blocking, the sun never sets* team wants to enter Bunney County, they must face these three passes.

Just when Xiao Chen was worried about the difficult terrain of the country where the sun never sets, a sudden system voice startled Xiao Chen. However, after hearing what the system said, Xiao Chen was even more frightened.

The system has been automatically updated, canceling the previous system program of crop harvesting once a month, and changing it to a normal form. In cold weather, crops are harvested once a year. The area where the temperature is usually normal is a year for two croppings. Where the temperature is hot, the crops are harvested three times a year. In addition, the automatic development technology function of the craftsman was canceled and changed to a normal form. Any science and technology needs someone to think about and do it, so that it can become an item that benefits the country and the people.

The cancellation of these two system messages can be regarded as catching Xiao Chen off guard. The function of the craftsman's workshop was canceled later, and Xiao Chen didn't care. Anyway, now that Beichen has trained a lot of blacksmiths in China, the production of armor weapons is completely up to speed, and there will be no chain drops. However, the first abolition of the crop once a month is unbearable.

The Beichen Kingdom now has a population of nearly 100 million, but fortunately, the Beichen Army has now taken the territory of the Shalu Kingdom and the Buni Kingdom. As long as the people are relocated, it can also alleviate the population pressure in the country. But the pressure on grain can't be alleviated, 100 million people, that is, within half a year, Beichen Kingdom will have 200 million stone of grain harvest, that is, there must be 100 million mu of arable land to be satisfied. However, the amount of cultivated land in Beichen Kingdom is only more than 30 million, and there was no shortage of grain in the past, because the crops are ripe in January. With the harvest of 30 million acres of cultivated land, Beichen can still export a lot of grain. But not anymore!

Of the 30 million acres of cultivated land, only 30 million stones of grain and grass can be harvested, and even if it is two or even three crops a year, it is only 100 million stones. And 100 million people will need at least 300 million stone of grain in a year. What kind of concept is this, that is to say, the inventory in the warehouse of Beichen Guozhen is not enough for half a year of consumption by the people of the whole country.

This made Xiao Chen panic suddenly, he had to expand the area of cultivated land, otherwise Beichen Kingdom would be finished in less than two years. The first priority for expanding the area of cultivated land was to move the population of the country to Linhai County, Sanguan County, and Buni County as soon as possible. In this way, more than 20 million yuan of arable land will be obtained.

In the Beacon Continent, don't think that there is a lot of arable land. This is not the Central Plains, which has been developed for thousands of years, and many places here cannot be cultivated. There is no way to do it, there are so many rocks, soils and sands that you can't grow crops at all. It is only now that Beichen Kingdom has obtained a good cultivated area, that is, Linhai County. Linhai County was originally an important production area in the country of Salu, and a large number of plains here are suitable for cultivating grain. And because of its proximity to the river, there is no need to worry about water shortage. The only thing to consider is to build a dam to prevent flooding, in which case the Beichen Kingdom will face disaster.

The second option is to continue to expand and get more arable land. It's just that if Beichen wants to expand to the north now, it's impossible. The long distance was enough to crush the logistics of Beichen Kingdom. The only direction of expansion is to the west, and that is the Duchy on which the sun never sets. There is a lot of fertile land in the Duchy where the sun never sets, and if the Beichen Kingdom obtains it, the food crisis in the country can be safely overcome.

It's just that the sun never sets, and the principality is not easy to fight!

Principality?

By the way, I now have more than 500 cities, and I can also be promoted to the principality!
