MTL - Heart of Empire-Chapter 479 Rich Ice Cave City
Bevin, the owner of the Beastblood Castle, was a bit out of place.
Said to be the master of a city, leading the military affairs of the beast blood castle. But Wen had a whole professional conquest; the fifth army led by Wu Youdelin was stationed in the city. The owner of this city was just a nominal one. It was completely suspended and had no power at all.
But Bevin didn't care.
Two years ago, he witnessed the 100-meter-high castle with his own eyes in White Wolf Castle, and when he stood on the ground in front of him, he was convinced by the man sitting at the top of the castle. And he vowed to be loyal to the Governor-General of Ozer, before leaving, he also made a clear order to hand over the beast blood castle and ice cave city to Dane.
In this sense, to this day, he has been able to recapture the Beastblood Castle from the rebellious hands, and handed it to Dane, to a large extent has fulfilled his wish.
What's more, before he left, Dane took the time to meet up with him in private.
On this side, of course, what Dane said to Bevin was unknown to outsiders. But it can be seen that Bevin was in a very good mood after sitting back in his seat of the city owner.
...
At the end of November, the problem of the Ice Cave City was also resolved.
The situation is similar to that of the Beastblood. There is no need for Dane to take the initiative. There are naturally people in the city who can't bear the pressure and choose to vote for him.
Dane's approach is similar to that of Beastblood. A part of the cronies remained, and they were stationed in Bing Cave City to take charge of defense; at the same time, the Bing Cave City Government was established to control the administrative work.
However, Ice Cave City has a special place in itself. The city itself is nothing special, the population is not particularly large, and the geographical location is not so important.
However, the rich ice crystal ore born in the special ice field environment around the ice cave city is of great value and high value!
The location of Bing Cave City is not very far north. Judging from almost the same location, the confused city will not be closer to the south than it is, but the confused city will not be so cold, and it will not form the permanent ice around the city.
According to legend, in ancient times, this place of Ice Cave City once had a strong ice dragon fall here, its blood veins have forever changed the climate environment of this area, and his scales, Deep into the earth, ice crystal ore was formed.
Whether the legend is credible or not can no longer be verified. However, the special geographical environment here has created a large area of snow-covered wonders, and at the same time, there are special deposits buried under the snow and ice.
These mineral deposits are the most important lifeline of Bingkucheng and their most precious wealth.
How to maximize the economic value of these mineral deposits is the most important work of the ice cave city government. As long as they can achieve the results they deserve, the income that Dyne's kingdom can get on this item is a very considerable number.
One month's income of not less than 150,000 gold coins, and there is a lot of room for increase!
Dane valued the money.
At present, except for White Wolf Castle and Sandy Bay Port, the total tax revenue of Hindler's territory is only about 100,000 gold coins a month. There are 100,000 gold coins in the two cities in the south. Comilla and the half-hull Hull-controlled chamber of commerce also bring Dion 100,000 gold coins a month.
The total monthly income was only 350,000 yuan. And the ice crystal mine in Bingkucheng has 150,000 gold coins a month. What a huge number?
The Ice Cave City that occupied it in the past was never unified in the era of warlord wars. The warlords who occupied the city often fought against each other for the benefit of ice crystals, and the population of this ice and snow land was too small. If not for these reasons, I am afraid that this city is the easiest place to produce top warlords.
Such benefits are also very easy to breed bandits. Ice Cave City has always been one of the worst places for banditry. Many dangerous robbers even dare to attack the mines guarded by the army directly in groups, just for that jealous benefit.
In order to protect the interests of Bingjing from being looted, Dane also left over 5,000 soldiers in the city as guardians.
After thinking about it, Dane did not organize these soldiers as a new legion, but put them all under the control of Delin's Fifth Army.
Now, looking at it this way, the new Fifth Army is still very powerful-nonsense, can it not be powerful? From the White Wolf Legion and the King's Guard Corps, 10,000 people are fully entered! Aldell rushed to protest, saying his legion had shrunk by half!
After returning to the south, he will make up for the promise that troops drawn from the King Guard Corps will be replenished within half a year, and Dane finally managed to calm the general down.
In fact, why did Dane himself want to split the two main legions of the White Wolf and the King Guard? But there is no way. Both Bing Grotto City and the Beast Blood Castle have military defense pressures ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ both need troops to defend, and there are only three main legions he can trust. Of course, the elves of Comilla cannot be stationed there. The only thing that can be dispatched is the Kingdom Guards and the White Wolf Legion.
Originally, Dane also had a huge army-those soldiers before the Ice Cave City and the Beast Blood Castle.
These soldiers, under Dane's plan, were all placed under the Fourth Army. This also made Pandorf's Fourth Army expand to a size of nearly 20,000 in a short period of time.
But to him, those soldiers who used to belong to the warlords are all untrustworthy.
At least temporarily untrustworthy.
Pandorf's control of the Fourth Army had already achieved initial results. However, when the newly returned soldier was thrown in, the legion once again became less easy to control.
Of course, there are certainly ways.
By appointing students of the Military Department of the University of Sindler, transferring some loyal officers from other legions, and strengthening the spiritual construction of the army, these methods have been used together, and it can still greatly strengthen Dane Control over the army.
Then, Dane will gradually and gradually let the soldiers of the Fourth Army to receive training in various types of buildings in White Wolf Castle, and finally complete the transformation, becoming an elite army that is not weaker than the White Wolf Army. force.
Of course, it takes a lot of time and money to get it all done according to plan. But this plan must be advanced, otherwise, Dyne's army will become insufficient.
In the past, he took a powerful army to fight around, but now he has become a king and has a whole kingdom to guard, the use of the army can no longer be so hasty.
