With the collapse of the Sykes tribe, accompanied by the influx of a large number of poor peasants in the Siathrow Empire, after the Senate of the Siathrow Empire nobles passed the bill on the reclamation of the ownerless land in the north of the empire, a large number of poor hired peasants from the south continued to enter the northern region, they could get a piece of land that belonged to them for free, and some large manor owners and landlords also began to choose around in this area, buying land in pieces and establishing large estates, sugar beet, flax, Cotton became the main crop of choice for the plantation owners in the region, and the cultivation of these three crops almost monopolized the northern region in addition to grain.

The enthusiasm of the lords of the manor for this land increased with the personal attendance of Philip V at the groundbreaking ceremony of Nicholasburg, which marked the beginning of the Sithlo Empire's real dominion over the vast land in the north of the empire. The owners of the manor received a large amount of funds for the purchase of land, and although the price of land was relatively low, such a strip of land more than 400 li wide and 100 li deep, although it was not completely developed, still brought Pokaninsky huge profits, especially these funds were paid willingly by the noble landlords and manor owners. The abundant revenues not only provided sufficient funds for the construction of Nicholasburg, but also brought a large surplus to the treasury of the Sithlo Empire.

Clausewitz, the commander of the Imperial Royal Feather Forest Army, who achieved great success in the Northern Expedition and rebuilt his prestige, directly handed over the captured 50,000 women and children of the Dossex tribe directly to the slave traders, so that the slave traders could resell the prisoners anywhere outside the empireIn order to strengthen the defense and development of the western part of the empire, and also to provide a suitable center for trade between the empire and the Tengger steppe tribes, the proposal was unanimously supported by the Imperial Senate of the nobles.

The threat from the nomads of the steppe has always been a nightmare for the nobles of the empire, this threat and destructive power is even more terrifying than the Baiin people in the north, the main armed forces of the empire must be on alert at all times on the long border in the west, even now that the eastern Tengger steppe tribes are gradually subordinated to Li Wufeng's men, there is still no way to alleviate the worries of the nobles, the intermittent incursion of the nomads has always put the nobles' land, estates and property in a state of threat, and now it can effectively curb this threat, which is of course a good thing that cannot be desired。 This was something that the nobles had asked for many times before, but they had never been able to do so due to the strategic direction to the south and financial difficulties, and now they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

And the slaves in the slave market of the Siathrow Empire were also expensive for a while, and the development of land, The construction of manors requires a large number of slaves and freemen, and the freedmen have already obtained their own land, and the owners of the manors want to complete their manors as soon as possible so that they can generate income in the second year, slave traders from Indean and Chidi gathered in the Siathrow Empire, and a large number of debt slaves and prisoners of war from Indean and the Western Continent were continuously sent to the Siathrow Empire, and the price of slaves in the Sithlo Empire was 20% higher than the average price of slaves in the surrounding countries, which was like a magnet to attract slave traders from all over the world to continuously throw slaves into the Siathrow slave market。

On September 15, 699 in the mainland calendar, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Siathrow Empire announced that Prime Minister Pokaninsky would visit the Kaman Empire, the Poole Kingdom and the Doton Kingdom within January, and would meet with the Japanese envoys in the Poole Kingdom.

In the eyes of many people, this move of the Siathrow Empire is nothing more than wanting to use the western frontier to devote its main energy to the domestic war situation and the war situation on the peninsula when there is no time to contain them, they can take this opportunity to suppress the Baiyin people who have been plaguing them in the north, as for the construction of Nicholas Fort, the construction of the western fortress, or the development of the barren land in the north, or the introduction of a large number of slave production, it is just a normal policy and measure, as for the Prime Minister of the Siathrow Empire to visit the countries of Liboa, it is even a good thing, being able to persuade the Poole Kingdom and the Dodon Kingdom to withdraw from this war can also alleviate a lot of difficulties for the unification of the empire in Western Xinjiang. For an empire like Sithro, these moves were seen as merely a realignment in policy leanings. But they all underestimated the growth and changes in the national power brought about by the policy shift of an empire with a fairly solid foundation like the Sithlo Empire, and the foreign policy of the Siathrow Empire gradually showed the gradual strengthening of the unity of the Liberian states, and it was not until the establishment of the new Tang River Dynasty that they realized how much trouble the negligence at that time brought them.

The war situation on the peninsula has always been the focus of everyone's attention, especially when the situation in the north is becoming tense, Li Wufeng still unswervingly put the second army into the peninsula battlefield, which makes everyone surprised and puzzled, in the eyes of many people, the fourth army and the sixth army have been able to stabilize the situation on the peninsula, even if the Maqi Khans make a breakthrough in the local area, it will not do the overall situation, and the imminent problem in the western frontier is to ensure the victory of the imperial civil war, but the second army of the 100,000 fresh troops to the peninsula, what can be won for the western frontierIs the peninsula really that valuable?

It should be said that the war situation on the peninsula has been in a state of intensification since the beginning of August, especially in the two important places of Legon and Kutdam. If the Maqi Khans can take Laigon, it means that the peninsula under the control of Western Xinjiang has finally been poked open, and a breakthrough from here can be directly inserted into the hinterland of the peninsula, the original Medan region and the entire city-states along the coast of the Great South Ocean will face the threat of survival, and as long as the Western Xinjiang can hold Laigon, the Maqi Khans will have to continue to entangle with the people of the Western Xinjiang here, and the loss of the Three Treasures has not had much impact on the hearts of the people in the entire peninsulaIn particular, Sanbao once belonged to the Nanyang Alliance for a short period of time, and this subtle psychological situation has an immeasurable impact on the peninsula control area of the entire western Xinjiang.

In contrast, the battle for Courgon in Kutdam should have been no less than the battle for Legon, but in fact, due to the high expectations of Legon and more attention was paid to Legon, Kutdam's attack and defense were relatively dull, but this does not mean that the fighting here is peaceful, and the average weekly death toll of 6,000 proves that although the fighting here is not as dazzling as Legon, the bloody death toll still reminds us not to forget that this is also one of the main battlefields.

The battle for Legon did not make the Maqi Khans retreat because of the great display of the fire dragon cannon, and the Maqi Khans, who had become a tiger, became more crazy in the later offensive, and even two Yulin Corps also joined the attack on Laigon, although the parliament of the Nanyang Alliance failed to approve the dispatch of troops, but the policy tendency made them make almost every effort to provide material and logistical help to the Maqi Khans, the wild surnames of the Maqi Khans who had not completely disappeared were fully demonstrated in this battle, and the guarantee of sufficient supplies and equipment also allowed the Maqi Khans to gradually occupy an advantage in the attack on Laigon。

Especially after three consecutive heavy ram trucks to stomp on the front wall of Laigong City, the situation was once quite unfavorable to the Fourth Army of Western Xinjiang, Mu Lige and Wen Na almost took turns to personally supervise the battle, the two agreed that there must be one person on the city wall at any time, and Zhong Wenjing, the governor of the South China Sea, also personally sat in Laigong, mobilized a large number of people in the city to demolish the houses in the city to help the Fourth Army withstand this round of the most dangerous attack.

The second week of August was a "bloody week" for the Fourth Army of the Western Frontier and for Mulig and Wenner In a week, the Maqi Khans paid the price of 50,000 elites, three times to break through the city wall, a large section of the city wall was first loosened by the giant trebuchet of the Maqi Khan, and then was swept away by the swarming city trucks, the Maqi Khan's commandos rushed into the city three times, but they were all led by Mu Lige and Wen Na to squeeze the Ma Qi Khans out of the gap in the breakthrough, and even two marshal flags were inserted on the Legon city wall almost at the same time, and the two commanders could even see each other, but there were countless rolling heads and blood tides in between, Pu Tiancheng and Mu Lige could only stare at each other with the same blood-red eyes。 Also in this week, the Fourth Army Corps of Western Xinjiang had to truthfully report in an urgent letter to Hanzhong that the Third Division of the Fourth Army Corps had temporarily cancelled its number, and that the Fourth Division had lost its combat effectiveness.
