Chapter 308

It is common for lords to push and buckle.

Needless to say, the resource consumption caused by this is unnecessary.

If it weren't for the powerful common enemy of the Odin Empire, the Byron Alliance would have fallen apart and attacked each other.

Even so, local conflicts have never stopped. In many cases, the Princess Regent, who is known as the supreme ruler of the Byron Union, can do nothing but mediate in the middle.

Sophilia has already realized this drawback and wants to carry out reforms, among which unified laws are the top priority.

The effect achieved in his own fief is obvious to all.

If the Asia Minor Plain is the richest and most prosperous place in the Arshan Continent, then the Princess Regent's fiefdom is the wealthiest and most prosperous place in the Asia Minor Plain.

But it was still resisted from top to bottom.

It's not that those lords and nobles all became idiots in an instant, unable to see the obvious facts, but that this touched their fundamental interests.

The new policy of the princess regent is beneficial to the territory and the people, but it is not beneficial to the original lords, and will greatly weaken their rights.

In other words, the lords and nobles, the class that the Byron Alliance once relied on, have become parasites on the big tree of the Byron Alliance, frantically absorbing its fat and using it for self-fertilization, hindering its further development and growth. At least mostly.

Xiao En doesn't want the power he built up by himself to repeat the old ways and become that kind of small workshop model.

It is inevitable to set up a special legislative body.

However, the law is a very serious matter, not only related to the long-term stability of a power, but also closely related to the people of the territory.

A law full of loopholes is not only a kind of harm to itself, but also a kind of harm to the citizens.

Before each law is promulgated, it needs to go through careful research and consideration, not only to be beneficial to its own rule, but also to take into account the vital interests of the citizens.

Only in this way can all the leaders be gathered together, and the leader of the Yongye army can grow stronger.

When it comes to the legislature, the first name that pops up in Xiao En's mind is the People's Congress.

There is no way, the systematic education and living environment he received in his previous life is the incomparably orthodox model of a flower grower.

If the first thing he thinks of is Yingjiang's Congress, it means something is wrong with his education.

Of course, Sean's confusion of the People's Congress with the legislature is also extremely problematic.

But Xiao En is not going to copy it completely, after all, the national conditions are different, and it is really easy to use the flower planter's method.

In a world where the transformation of feudal society has not yet been completed, where many places are still in a semi-feudal and half-slavery state, and where capitalism has not yet taken shape, how can it accept socialism?

The ones that are down-to-earth, conform to the current social form, and ethnic and ethnic characteristics are the most suitable.

Under the influence of Sean, the Andes people showed some characteristics of florists, but they could not become real florists in other worlds after all. It was not a matter of race and skin color, but something that flowed in their bones and belonged to them, such as aggression. Sexually.

It may be due to the influence of Confucian culture for thousands of years, or it may be the characteristics of the farming nation, or it may be because of the vast land and abundant resources. The flower growers have a unique grace and generosity, are kind to their neighbors, and rarely actively invade others, but they also swore to defend the country and the country. The idea that those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away.

At present, the leader of the Yongye army, whose main body is the Andes, has already been transforming into a farming nation, but the time is too short to completely change their civilization characteristics of half farming, half fishing and hunting, and the environment they live in , have prompted them to walk on the road of expansion.

From the original half of the ancient Jacob River, to the entire Jacob Ancient River, and now to the entire Andes Mountains, they are now focusing on the Swamp of Despair.

Will they be satisfied when the Swamp of Despair is swallowed up and stop expanding?

The answer is probably no.

Due to the combination of various factors, the concept of the clan elders' political conference was newly released.

A wise man will lose a thousand thoughts, and a fool will gain a thousand thoughts.

For this kind of thing, it's better to brainstorm, especially the clan elders are the closest to the people, and they know their needs best. If they guide them properly, they may be able to come up with many beneficial suggestions.

What's more, these clan elders usually like to talk about current political abuses, and it's better to keep them quiet than to block them.

Simply give them a platform to play their role, and with their participation and suggestions for the new policy formulated, how about they applaud it? Or against?

Combined with the plan to annex the crocodile tribe, it would be the best of both worlds.

The Elders' Council of Hundreds of People and the Council of Elders currently being practiced by the Crocodiles are two completely different concepts.

The most obvious representative is that the elders of the old political assembly of the Hundred People Clan only have political and legislative powers, and have no executive power, let alone military power.

They discussed a law, and the final executive body was the official body of the Yong Ye Army Commander. They supervised and corrected it through political discussions.

The Hundred People Clan's Old Political Conference is just a temporary concept, not necessarily only a hundred people, it will change according to the actual situation.

The Crocodile Elder Council nodded and agreed to cooperate, which is only the first step of the matter, and there are a lot of follow-up matters, after all, it involves all aspects of the two forces.

There is such a huge difference in the behavior styles between the two that we must seek common ground.

However, when it comes to specific and cumbersome matters, there is no need for Sean to do it himself. The generals in his own territory will naturally negotiate with the elders of the crocodile tribe to reach a consensus.

There may still be problems in the details, but in the general direction, the two sides quickly reached a few consensus points.

First of all, the Armada of the Commons family is irresistible.

Even with the foreign aid of the Yong Ye army leader, the water power of the two sides is still not at the same level.

Once a decisive battle on the water is easily carried out and a large number of warships are damaged, they will enter a completely passive state and lose even the opportunity to counterattack.

Taking full advantage of the disadvantage that the Commons family's warships are large ships and cannot enter shallow water, counterattack is the right way.

In this case, it means that they must give up control of the Donau River and use the east bank of the Donau River as a battlefield to carry out defensive counterattacks.

Compared with the west bank of the Donau River, the area here is larger and the water network environment is more complex. In addition to the Donau River, there are several rivers intertwined in it, which can accommodate the entry and exit of the leading ships of the Yongye Army, but cannot accommodate them. Here the great ships of the Commons family flaunt their might.

At this time, it highlights the importance of Brother Hong Kong, where the Yongye Army led the Crocodiles to fight for reason.

This is a typical confluence of two rivers.

Its main entrance is the Donau River, and the side entrance is the Basu River.

The Basu River is a tributary of the Donau River, but instead of flowing into the Donau River, it diverges from the Donau River.

Compared with the west bank of the Donau River, the terrain on the east bank is gentler. After the Donau River passes through here, it is not a river that leads directly to the sea, but drills toward the east bank like a sieve.

The Basu River is only its first tributary. At its peak, there were hundreds of such tributaries, large and small.

It is because of them that the Jiangnan Plain has become a swamp of despair.

However, with the changes in the environment of the Desperate Swamp, the water level of the Donau River dropped sharply, and most of the small tributaries had stopped flowing, turning into lakes and shallow bays.

Only a small number of relatively large tributaries like the Basu River are still flowing.

The Basu River is part of the complex water network on the east bank of the Donau River, and the warships led by the Yongye Army can pass through here, avoiding the Donau River and entering and exiting most of the east bank of the Swamp of Despair.

From the very beginning, the Yongye military leader has attached great importance to Brother Port. On the day the agreement was signed with the Council of Elders, countless merchant ships led a large number of architects and building materials to the south.

The leader is naturally Ferdinand, the royal architect of the Eternal Night Army.

The leader of the Yong Ye Army now, any slightly high-end architectural planning, always has his shadow.

However, he no longer needs to measure everything by himself as he did when he built the Twin Cities.

Over the years, he has single-handedly brought out half a group of apprentices, not to mention the disciples and grandchildren who are led by apprentices.

Under the cultivation of a large number of infrastructure projects by the Yong Ye army leader, many of them have already left the army.

Now Ferdinand is an out-and-out chief planner, only responsible for controlling the direction and some key points, and leaving the rest to his disciples and grandchildren.

Design layer by layer, and then collect and adjust it here, and finally finalize it.

Therefore, the drawing speed is very fast. The site has just been selected here, and the final drawing can be produced on the other side in only two weeks, and then the ground is broken directly.

It is true that the main force in the construction of Brothers Port is the crocodile tribe, but most of them are strong laborers who do some heavy and clumsy work, commonly known as small workers.

The master workers who really do fine work have to be the engineering corps affiliated to the Yongye Army Commander. Although many of them are young, they have at least five years of experience in infrastructure work.

It also adopts the mode of division of labor and subcontracting. Several engineers from the affiliated engineering regiment lead a dozen to dozens of crocodile people to form a team to carry out construction at a site.

Except for a few special building materials that were transported from the Yong Ye Army, the bricks and stones needed for the later construction were all obtained from local materials and fired on the spot.

The Yong Ye Army Leader is also familiar with this, because they also do the same in the Yong Ye Army Leader.

Even with the convenience of the Jacob River and Donau River, it is not cost-effective to transport construction materials on a large scale. As long as the scale of the construction site exceeds a certain level, the Yongye Army Leader must open a brick factory nearby to burn bricks and stones. No conditions, just consider dispatching.

If it was changed to before the resumption of the Jacob River, the construction conditions of Brother Port should be the worst kind. The river is flooded everywhere, and it is difficult to find a piece of hard soil.

Now, it's perfect.

The water level here has basically stabilized, and even if it drops again, it will not drop significantly.

The original straight road crossing was a large gap of more than ten kilometers in length and width under the impact of the crazy current during the peak period of the Desperate Nujiang River. After the water level dropped, it became a lake where two rivers converged.

Brother Port chose to build here. This lake is a natural accommodation port. Even if all the existing warships led by the Yongye Army are stuffed into it, it will not be enough.

Due to the unique geographical environment, Brother Port is divided into three parts.

At least on the general design drawings, it should belong to three parts, in the shape of a half cross, one part is on the west bank of the Donau River, the other part is on the east bank of the Donau River, and then divided into two by the Basu River.

But now only part of it has been completed, the southeast part of the corner between the Donau River and the Basu River.

When the construction of Brothers Port started, the Kingsley family had already taken part of the initiative in the Swamp of Despair, and the part on the west bank of the Donau River was naturally not a priority.

The southeast part was built first, which can directly strangle the throat of the Donau River and the Basu River. Now it has become the last line of defense for the leader of the Yongye army and the Crocodile tribe against the Commons family.

A large number of warships, manpower and material resources from the Yong Ye army leader are gathering here.

The main force of the crocodile tribe is also gathering in this direction.

There are even some crocodile people who heard the news, dragged their families, and ran here in small boats.

The east bank of the Swamp of Despair is about to become the main battlefield, and I am afraid that there will be no safe place to live. These crocodile people can avoid the war instinctively.

This is also the focus of the coordination between the Yongye Army Leader and the Council of Elders.

Whether to conduct a large-scale evacuation of the crocodile tribe, some women and children withdrew to the Yongye army for temporary shelter.

The leader of the Yong Ye army raised his hands to welcome this, what a joke, such a good opportunity for assimilation is exactly what they dreamed of.

The entanglement is still the Council of Elders, although when they decided to cooperate with the Yongye Army Leader, they knew that the crocodile people would not want to maintain their previous independence and be assimilated by the Yongye Army Leader with a more complete cultural inheritance and management system. Inevitable things are just a matter of severity.

It should be the worst situation for one's own people to seek refuge in the Eternal Night Army.

But they have no way to refuse. After all, compared with the increasingly chaotic Swamp of Despair, the safety of the Yongye Army Leader is absolutely guaranteed.

If the Council of Elders obstructs this aspect, it will definitely make life difficult for its own people.

In the end they adopted a non-encouraging and unorganizing attitude.

For those crocodile tribe members who spontaneously go to the Yongye army leader, let them go directly, but it is impossible for them to organize and go with the whole family.

But they can't stand their allies doing bad things.

The leader of the Yongye army repeated his old tricks, using the caravan to publicize the current situation to those crocodile tribesmen, emphasizing the potential danger intentionally or unintentionally. As a result, it is conceivable that those crocodile tribesmen were blown up and began to swarm to Brother Port .

The Crocodile Elder Council is still open every day.

However, the location has been transferred to Brother Port, and people from the Yongye Army Commander have also begun to intervene in large numbers.

Before the Council of Elders launched an attack, the villain Xiao En, who knew it well, complained first, complaining: "Elders, this is not the way to go. It won't be long before Brother Harbor will be overcrowded. That's all, if the coalition forces of the Kingsley family and the Commons family are killed, these people will be an obstacle for us to mobilize the army, and if we are not careful, there will be heavy casualties."

As for whether there is happiness in his heart, only he knows.

"It's not your own fault. Your caravan spreads our battle plan everywhere. It's no wonder that our people don't panic." An elder said angrily.

He just got the news a few days ago that more than half of his tribe has spontaneously organized and marched towards Brother Port, and he is now in a dilemma.

Without this part of the tribe, his own tribe would probably exist in name only.

"As I said before, we treat people of the two races equally, and the people of the state have the right to know their own situation. I'm just doing what we should do." Sean replied innocently.

We are not your subjects yet!

The elder almost vomited blood in anger, and almost didn't blurt out this sentence.

"It's true that the citizens have the right to know, but before doing so, they must inform us, right? Otherwise, we will be very passive. After all, we are now one body, one loss and one loss, one prosperity and one prosperity are not." Elder Weber said Appears very sensible.

For things that are already unavoidable, it is useless to get angry. Only by keeping a calm head can we come up with a way to stop losses.

"Sorry, we didn't think carefully about this aspect, and we will definitely discuss it with the elders next time." Xiao En apologized very sincerely.

But whether he will continue to do so next time is another matter.

What a joke.

If this kind of thing is discussed with you, will the effect be so powerful?

It is the most correct choice to cut first and then play.

"Don't be an example." Elder Weber snorted, obviously he would not believe Xiao En's promise, they still belong to an alliance of interests, and they will do everything from the side that is most beneficial to them. If the situation is reversed, I'm afraid they Will do the same thing as the Eternal Night Army Leader.
