Looking at the eastern horizon, after a long silence, Fili V said in a deep voice: "Your mission is indeed necessary, I originally wanted Clausewitz to visit with you, but now that he has just returned from a trip to the Western Continent, he needs to be familiar with many affairs in the army as soon as possible, and secondly, he has encountered this Sykes tribe that needs to be solved, and then I think about this kind of thing is better for you to come forward and coordinate with the dignitaries of other countries, so I will ask you." The Poole and Dodons are now too deep in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to be afraid that it is impossible to withdraw at once, and they seem to have the advantage now, and I am afraid that they are not very willing to withdraw. I feel it is necessary to remind them first, so that they must be mentally prepared for failure first, so as not to let them be caught off guard when Li Wufeng swept through the north to unify the Tang River, and let them also be prepared for how to withdraw from unfavorable situations, I am also thinking that there should also be sober people in these courtiers in their country who can see this possibility. ”

"As for the Kamans, I will write two handwritten letters, and I will give them to them when you go to negotiate with Knox and Huasili, I used to be hunting friends with both of them when I was young, and I believe that the friendship is still there, not to mention that this is also a major matter involving the survival of the country, as long as you explain the stakes and interests, I believe they will not be ignorant of the general situation. The Kaman people are the most important part of our Liberian countries, if it stands to reason it should be Gomez the most suitable, but Gomez's overly aggressive policy makes him unpopular among the northern nobles of Kaman, so there will be this automatic exit, and now the northern and southern nobles of Kaman are at a standstill, if we can say that we can see the situation clearly with both sides and abandon the previous suspicions, it will also be of great benefit to us to join forces in the future to deal with Li Wufeng's threat. ”

Fili V's words made Pokaninsky admire in his heart, his old friend seemed to be very clear-headed, he also realized that the expansion of Li Wufeng's power may bring a huge threat to the empire and even the whole of Libera, this threat is obviously a little powerless to rely on the empire alone, but if the entire Liberia country is united, then it is no longer a problem to fight against the Tanghe people, but before that, it is necessary to unify the thinking first, and now all parties adopt different strategies for their own interests, and even only care about the immediate interests, and cannot see the long-term threat, or hold on to the salary to fight the fire, which can only add help to Li Wufeng, as he said that the Libea people should now do to strengthen the foundation, strengthen and develop their own strength, and really come to that day, only then will they have the strength to be able to compete with the other party, a very simple truth, the food problem alone is enough to make the countries into a mess, how can this situation be confronted with the Don River people?

"Your Majesty is right, General Clausewitz has just taken over as the commander of the Royal Feather Army, and many of the circumstances are not well understood, and he has been away from the Empire for too long, and he needs a war to re-establish his prestige, only in this way can he truly take over the Emperor [***] Fang is unified to one idea, and the Sykes tribe is just such a touchstone, one is to train the army, and the other is that if the power of these Baiin barbarians in the north can be compressed to the north, it can also add a lot of land for cultivation to the empire, at present, the price of food is high, the farmers are very active in cultivating the land, and a large area of land in the north is barren because of the disturbance and threat of those damned Baiin people, so that the peasants dare not go north to pioneer, if we can compress the power of the Baiin people to the north even a hundred miles, the empty land is considerable, completely enough to meet the needs of those landless and landless peasants in our south, which could not only alleviate the contradiction between the southern landlords and the poor hired peasants, but also allow the empire to increase land and grain, which was a great thing to kill two birds with one stone. As soon as Pokaninski talked about government affairs, he was full of interest, and the more he talked, the more his eyebrows fluttered.

"But even if we defeat the Boin barbarians, these barbarians will hide in the Atlas Mountains, and it is not realistic for us to completely solve them, and if we want to consolidate the lands occupied in the north and ensure that the peasants who go to cultivate them are not threatened, I am afraid that we will need to build a city. Philip V frowned slightly, this was not an easy task.

"Yes, I was about to mention it, and if General Clausewitz was able to defeat the Sykes tribe, I think the Empire could build cities and forts on the northern edge of the newly occupied territory. The idea was that it would be better to build a city, and to build a castle-like fortress not far from the sides of the city, and that the fortress could also become a small town, which could not only be a horn with the city, but also serve as a castle market town, and consolidate our rule over the land. Pokaninski could talk about these civil affairs as soon as he talked about them.

"But the cost of building these things is not a small amount, can the treasury support it?" Philip V certainly knew the benefits of this, and the key question was whether the treasury could support it.

"The minister does not intend to bear this cost from the existing treasury, the minister is thinking that such a large area of ownerless wasteland, landless peasants go to reclaim the wasteland, as long as the permission is not required, a certain amount of land can be allocated according to the capitation, but if anyone wants to occupy a large area of land, I am afraid that they will have to pay the necessary expenses, the minister wants to contact the big nobles of Lensk and the big landowners of Nuremberg, I believe they will be interested in this plan, after all, the price of slaves continues to fall, and a large number of slaves from Indean are now flooding Lensk, The markets of Nuremberg and Magsburg used slaves to cultivate land for grain and cash crops such as cotton, flax and sugar beet, and they were not unmoved. ”

Pokaninski's idea also made Fili V feel excited, this is a quite beautiful and feasible plan, as long as Clausewitz can completely defeat the Sykes tribe, this idea can become a reality, the north of the empire is almost a blank, due to the threat of the Baiin and the empire's long-term emphasis on the south, so that the north of the fertile field has not received enough attention, in the previous national policy is also to seize the land of the Tang people in the south to reduce the pressure on the land needs of the empire's growing population, but now this national policy can be completely changed, as long as a new city can be established in the north and two fortresses are attached, stationed with heavy troopsIt is completely possible to squeeze the power of the Bains in the surrounding area of the Atlas Mountains and prevent them from going south, and there, the imperial [***] team, especially the cavalry, completely relies on the city fortress to give full play to its might, and the infantry can use the cavalry mobility to rely on the fortress to build a complete security line to ensure the safety of the farmers who reclaim the wasteland.

Seeing his old friend hanging his head and saying nothing, Pokaninski knew that his idea had moved the other party, and he further struck while the iron was hot: "Although this is not something that can be achieved in a year and a half, once we do it, we can not only relieve the pressure of land shortage, but also show the increase in the national strength of the empire in three years at most, Your Majesty can even list a part of the land and grant it to some nobles who support the new policy of the empire, so as to attract more imperial nobles to join in supporting Your Majesty's policy." ”

"Well, your plan is indeed very appealing to me, but we must be careful not to let the nobles buy slaves and ensure the necessary balance between the production of the landless peasants' land, and not to be overly biased in one aspect, and as for Clausewitz, I will talk to him solemnly, and ask him to achieve the purpose we envisioned. Finally, he nodded emphatically, and Philip V could not help but be tempted by this plan, and only by fully improving the country's strength could he have enough strength to fight back against external threats.

On September 11, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Siathrow Empire's Northern Expeditionary Army, led by Clausewitz, the new commander of the Royal Feather Forest Army of the Siathrow Empire, began their lightning assault process, and Clausewitz personally led the light armored cavalry of four legions to attack the important settlement area of the Sykes tribe at the southern foot of the Atlas Mountains, destroying many settlements of the Syquians tribe. Although the unicorn armored beast force of the Sykes tribe broke through the infantry phalanx of the Siathrow Empire and caused a lot of damage to the Sithrow Empire's army, the heavy cavalry of the Sithrow Empire also broke through the infantry defense line of the Sykes tribe with unstoppable momentum, resulting in the defeat of the main army of the Syxlo tribe, and then the light armored cavalry of the Siathrow Empire from the rear continuously broke through the multiple defensive lines composed of the Sythros tribe, fully demonstrating the fierceness and courage of the Siathrow light cavalry。

Due to the fall of the Sykes tribe in the rear, they had to carry out a strategic transfer to the depths of the Atlas Mountains, and as many as 50,000 women and children of the Sykes tribe were captured by the Sithrod [***] team, and the Sykes tribe almost lost its threat to the northern plains of the Sithro Empire after this battle, and even the western territory of the Dore tribe was also under the threat of the Sithrod [***] team.

On October 6, an infantry unit of the Sithro Empire was ambushed by the Sykes tribe in the valley of the middle of the Atlas Mountains, and a team of 10,000 people was crushed, and only more than 2,000 people survived, and the Syquians finally achieved a partial victory for the first time. On October 16, the Siathrow Emperor Fili V announced the end of the 35-day Northern Expedition in the capital Lensk, and on the same day he announced in a speech at the Council of Elders of the Lensk Empire that a new city would be built on the plain of the middle of the Yenisei River in the north, named Nicholasburg.
