Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 482
"Your Majesty, our neighbor in the south has sent an envoy, and they are now in the border area. Do you want to receive them?"

"Elves?"

Di Feng said with interest.

"Now we have just annexed the savage forces and the dragon forces, and now we need to develop the occupied areas. It is not time for war. Since they are here, let's meet them.

If the elves are unwilling to fight, we can maintain peace for a long time, just like the Ming Empire. "

"Yes."

Qinghe Kingdom, the southern mountain forest area.

This area was originally an area of ​​savage influence, because most of this area is hilly and has lush forests, so it is called the southern mountain forest area by the people.

However, although this piece of land is mostly forested areas, there are actually large plains between the hills.

These plain areas are now the areas where the liberated people live.With the development of the Qinghe Kingdom, a large area of ​​forest land around it was cut down.

Those timbers were sent to other areas as various materials, and at the same time, the plains opened up were used as farmland, and the mountains were subcontracted to build orchards and tea gardens.

In Qinghe Kingdom, in fact, the further south you go, the wetter the climate is, the more suitable for growing fruits. Moreover, in the southern mountain forests, rubber trees were also found in Qinghe Kingdom.

For the Qinghe Kingdom, rubber plantations were built accordingly. With the development of the Qinghe Kingdom, the previous rubber materials were all synthesized by the Qinghe Kingdom, which was not only expensive, but also cumbersome.

However, the Qinghe Kingdom also established several rubber plantations in the Senbei area, and now, with more suitable land, almost all of those mountain forests have been turned into rubber plantations.

At the same time, for these mountains and forests, after the remaining tribes of savages in the forest have been basically eliminated, some areas have been turned into nature reserves to keep some natural wild animals in captivity.

Other areas are listed as development targets. For example, in this vast land, many mineral deposits have been discovered.

Not only the traditional iron ore, copper ore, but also the spirit stone mine required by the rune technology, the black ore that can increase the hardness of the metal, gold and silver, as well as rare metals, spiritual metals, etc.

In addition, Qinghe Kingdom also discovered many natural medicinal materials growing places, as well as a large number of new medicinal materials and new plants.

In addition to the rubber plantation, in this continuous mountain forest, various medicine gardens are important facilities. Various basic herbs, as well as various elixir with the enhancement of aura, are all necessities of the Qinghe Kingdom.

In this stretch of mountains, there are countless resources waiting to be developed. However, due to the lack of population in the Qinghe Kingdom, most people live in the central road and its nearby roads, and there are relatively few people who automatically go to the south to occupy the forest. .

If Qinghe Kingdom hadn't liberated a large number of people when they defeated the wildlings, it would have been even more difficult to develop the southern forests.

"However, once the road is repaired, the follow-up work will be much easier." Regarding the development of the southern mountain forest, Qinghe Kingdom is still confident, it's just a matter of time.

However, if this 800 million population wants to become the driving force of the Qinghe Kingdom, it will take a long time to govern.

For the newly-built five provinces, after the local government affairs departments began to operate and sorted out the affairs of each region, in the first year, the Qinghe Kingdom distributed part of the finances to each province, and each county took the lead in establishing hospitals and schools.

In addition, a batch of graduates from Qinghe Kingdom University, together with doctors and teachers from various places who are willing to relocate to your southern region, ensured that each province and county has a primary school and a middle school within the first year. .

In the second year, a group of teachers and doctors were recruited and sent to Wudao in the south, and a second, third primary and middle school, and a second hospital were established in various cities and county towns.

After these schools stabilized, they began to continue to sink the schools to various counties, and in the following years, corresponding primary and secondary schools were established in various villages and towns.

When the Qinghe Kingdom vigorously developed the southern mountains and forests, the ape tribe who became neighbors to the Qinghe Kingdom at this time became honest for a while after several battles, but immediately continued to attack the border of the Qinghe Kingdom.

Because of the death of their own people, the simple-minded people of the ape clan decided that the Qinghe Kingdom was their enemy. After the savage clan disappeared, the ape clan also put their hatred on the Qinghe Kingdom.

And at this time, the ape clan is still in conflict with the Ming Empire on the other side.Provoking two big forces at the same time made Di Feng feel a little surprised.

"The ape tribe is a beast tribe with a small number of people. They usually hunt and pick wild fruits for hygiene. Because of the simple way of life, the ape tribe is divided into families, with a vast land and few people.

According to intelligence estimates, there are at most 100 apes on the land of more than 50 million square kilometers currently occupied by the apes, but because the strong of the apes are really powerful, one can compare to an army. Guaranteed the range of strength of the ape clan. "

"In that case, let's fight."

It seems that it has only been stable for more than a year, and the ape clan frequently raids the border areas of Qinghe Kingdom, making Di Feng see that this neighbor is not easy to get along with.

"According to the intelligence investigation, the ape clan forces occupy a mountain forest area with a length of more than 2000 kilometers and a width of more than 800 kilometers. However, because they have fought against the Ming Empire in recent years, many families have been killed by the Ming Empire, and the forces have lost more than [-] square meters. Kilometers of land, this is also a question of constant fighting between the two forces."

"Then hit."

Di Feng said.

"Now our country has more than 1000 million new births every year, and more and more children are becoming adults. Now our country is in an absolute stage of development.

Instead of waiting until we need to expand and fight in the future, it is better to seize as many land resources as possible now, so that we can develop better in peacetime. "

"However, most of the apes in the area are strong, so advance from the east and north directions, and let the ninja army and the martial arts army pass together.

In individual combat, our army is not without individual troops, and our army's talented army is the army that suppresses these enemies. "

"Order, Li Xiuning will serve as the commander-in-chief of this campaign, and Di Jun, as the deputy commander, will coordinate and command the troops of the Longhu Military Region and Senzhong Military Region, and transfer the Wolf Totem Legion, Knight Legion, and No. 20 Talented Legion there."

"Yes."

This battle is Di Feng's first battle after the reform of the legion, because Di Feng is no longer the only general who can preside over a large army of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Therefore, Di Feng is not required to fight this time.

At this time, the mission from the southern elves came to the territory of the Qinghe Kingdom and made contact with the Qinghe Kingdom.

The elven empire occupying the vast forest in the south can be said to be a powerful country. Not only does it occupy a vast forest no less than the Qinghe Kingdom, it also has countless archers and mage troops.

Just like that, not only the Elven Empire is wary of the Qinghe Kingdom, but Qinghe Kingdom is also very wary of the Elven Empire after receiving certain information.

This time the Elf Empire can take the initiative to contact the Qinghe Kingdom, which is a good thing for the Qinghe Kingdom. After all, it has just swallowed a large area of ​​​​land from the dragon forces and the wildling forces, and the Qinghe Kingdom is not like starting a war lightly. Almost a battle of forces.

When the elves arrived at Qinghe City through the long mountain forest in a car, the elves from the elf empire also saw the prosperous metropolis of Qinghe Kingdom for the first time.

After some conversation, the Qinghe Kingdom and the Elf Empire signed a non-aggression treaty.

The treaty stipulates that the border line is demarcated based on the areas controlled by the two sides, and the armed forces of both sides are not allowed to cross the border line under any circumstances, otherwise it is an invasion.

At the same time, in order to get along better, the Qinghe Kingdom and the elves established a trading city at the border to start trade.

When the peace agreement was signed this time, both the Qinghe Kingdom and the Elf Empire secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For trade, both parties have experience, and this is the case with the contact between the Elf Empire and several other kingdoms in the south and west.

And along the way, the Elven Empire also learned something about the Qinghe Kingdom. Its vast territory, large population, powerful army, and novel rune technology make it a formidable enemy in every aspect. .

After dealing with the affairs of the Elf Empire, Di Feng can focus on the territory of the ape clan.In the battle over there, at the beginning of the Qinghe Kingdom's large-scale army attack, they quickly wiped out some ape clan families and occupied a large area of ​​land.

And according to the steady and steady style of the Qinghe Kingdom, as long as the captured land will be strictly defended, it will block the counterattack of some ape clan families.

However, as the apes reacted, those gold-level apes came and went, defeating several field army attacks.

There are apes with a height of tens of meters who can throw huge rocks, as well as powerful ape warriors and elemental apes who can control various elements.

All kinds of magical ape families, it takes a lot of effort for each legion of the Qinghe Kingdom to move forward in this battle, and they will also suffer a lot of battle damage.

Until later, the legions of the Qinghe Kingdom continued to summarize, and finally decided not to pay attention to territorial gains and losses, but mainly to hunt and kill the ape family.

Because the number of apes themselves is very small, and their own fertility rate is not high, as long as they kill a lot in a short period of time, the apes will not be able to hold a vast territory.

Therefore, with the Ninja Army who is good at scouting as the main force, a four-member team went deep into the mountains and forests for scouting. After finding the target, they quickly contacted the rear command through communication.

Guide the large army to arrive, surround these ape clans, and then attack with heavy firepower, taking advantage of the Qinghe Kingdom, and using this tactic to annihilate those ape clans little by little.

Very good results have been achieved in just one month. The number of apes wiped out in this month is [-], which is equivalent to a fraction of the number of apes.

Moreover, this way of fighting makes it impossible for the ape family to retaliate. If they gather a large army, they will be wiped out by the Qinghe Kingdom.

Moreover, the Ming Empire in the west also saw an opportunity at this time, and began to attack the ape clan from the west while the Qinghe Kingdom was fighting.

Under the two-front battle, the ape clan is not an empire-level force after all. In just one month, more than 20 ape clan members were killed, and the ape clan force only had more than [-] clan members left.

At this point, the ape clan can be said to have been completely declared annihilated. There are more than [-] ape clans, and they can't make waves in the Ming Empire and Qinghe Kingdom.

As for the ape clan forces, the Qinghe Kingdom and the Ming Empire did not want to start a sudden war. They negotiated while fighting, and finally when the ape clan was wiped out, they divided their respective spheres of influence based on the areas occupied by the two sides.

However, because the Qinghe Kingdom fought in the red flag, they rushed to fight in enclosures, and even a mechanized army specifically advanced along the border area.

According to post-war statistics, the Ming Empire occupied 30 square kilometers of land of the ape tribe, roughly in the southwest.

The other places are occupied by the Qinghe Kingdom, with a total area of ​​130 million square kilometers. Such a large piece of mountain forest land, and there are no human activities, it can be said that it is a virgin forest.

For this area, the Qinghe Kingdom moved dozens of border regiments that were originally stationed on the border of the ape race to the border of the Ming Empire.

For this newly occupied area, there are forests everywhere. In the end, Di Feng decided to leave this forest alone and only build a city on the edge of a few well-explored mineral veins.

Roads are also built around these mine veins. At the same time, in the border area, railways and roads around the border are built to connect the outposts at the border.

However, because the border of this area is thousands of kilometers long, and all of them are forests and hills, it will take a long time even to send out engineering teams.

However, occupying such a vast area is definitely a great thing for the Qinghe Kingdom. The land of 130 million square kilometers contains countless resources waiting to be developed.

With the addition of 130 million square kilometers of land, the land area of ​​the Qinghe Kingdom has grown to 930 million square kilometers, and this is not counting the wider ocean occupied by the Qinghe Kingdom.

With such a vast land, there are no deserts, Gobi and other resource-poor areas. For the Qinghe Kingdom, it is simply full of resources.

For the newly occupied area, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no manpower development, Di Feng designated 130 square kilometers of land in this area as a road.Because the central area has a mountain range of several kilometers, unlike the hilly areas of the savage forces, there are no high mountains.

Because there are many high mountains, and there is a peak with a snow-capped mountain at the top of several thousand meters in the center, this road is named Nanyue Road.

However, because there are almost no people on this road, the five mining towns established by the five huge mineral deposits temporarily discovered by the subordinates.

It is considered a miracle in Qinghe Kingdom to directly manage the town with Taoism.

However, in the Qinghe Kingdom, it was announced in the TV news that the Qinghe Kingdom has expanded to 130 million square kilometers and a new road has been established.Immediately, the whole country rejoiced again.

The Qinghe Kingdom defeated the powerful enemy in the south before, and expanded more than 200 million square kilometers of land. Now it has expanded more than 100 million square kilometers of land again. Its own country is getting stronger and stronger. For the people, how can it not make people happy.
