On the dock of Yiyang Port, the situation was silent and solemn, except for the last group of soldiers of the Hurricane Legion who left, the tens of thousands of people who gathered in Yiyang City at this moment will also leave with the fleet, and after leaving, the entire Yiyang City and the three cities in Huaiyuan County will basically become empty cities.
If the demons can fight here, the entire Weiyi subcontinent has already fallen, let more than 100,000 people stay, let them die in a lonely city where there is no hope of survival, just to consume several times the demonized puppet, Zhang Tie feels that there is no point anymore, so in the three cities of the entire Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie did not arrange for the "volunteers" to stay in the city, but let everyone leave.
On the dock, a row of giant ships of 10,000 tons to 1 million tons lined up, and everyone walked in silence to the ship they wanted to board.
When the ship was full of people, it blew its horn and departed and headed east.
In front of several mega-ton ships, there was a long queue, and the voucher for the people in the procession to get on the ship was not an expensive ticket purchased with gold coins, but a contract written in both Chinese and Sibbo according to their own handprints, and a document that voluntarily renounced part of their personal and liberty rights, went to settle down in some lower states or frontier lands on the Eastern Continent, and obeyed certain arrangements made by the document holder.
There are two sides to everything, the disaster for the Weiyi subcontinent, but for the Eastern Continent, it is the best opportunity for the many wealthy families, merchant groups, and even the local government of Xiazhou and the border wasteland to obtain the population with the cheapest resources, enrich their border land, and develop the most basic development of some barren and bitter cold lands that were difficult to develop before.
This kind of policy, in Taixia, is called "plugging the edge".
"Plugging the border" is one of Taixia's national policies, and every time there is a holy war, Taixia will obtain a large number of alien populations fleeing from the war from various subcontinents, and use those alien populations to enrich their border wastelands.
Most of those border wastelands are Xiazhou in Taixia or more backward and primitive wasteland than Xiazhou.
For "Saibian", Taixia already has a complete set of laws and mechanisms to ensure the smooth implementation of this national policy in Taixia.
In the holy war, population is also a powerful and special resource, those alien populations who go to Taixia "Saibian", maybe not everyone can go to the battlefield, but as long as they live, as long as they can work and give birth, then they have the value of their existence.
In Taixia, every time there is a holy war, "Saibian" is a big business, and those wealthy families in Taixia who are ambitious and want to expand their family territory and territory, and those who want to make a fortune, will focus on these alien populations in "Saibian".
The identity of these aliens who went to Taixia to "plug the border" was not slaves, but they were only one level higher than slaves, and they were border people of Taixia.
Becoming the border people of Taixia, for these people, is also an exchange for those wealthy families and merchant groups to take them out of this dangerous subcontinent, so that they can avoid being killed by the demons, and they, for a long time to come, will obey the orders of those who hold their contracts, become a member of Taixia's "Fortress" army, and sacrifice their loyalty, sweat, wisdom, and sometimes even life for Taixia.
Half a year ago, it began to reach a climax, and the non-Chinese population who left from Yiyang Port every day and took those giant ships to Taixia to "Saibian" ranged from tens of thousands, and even more than 100,000 in many cases.
There are 700,000 border people who were brought to Taixia Youzhou by Huaiyuantang, and most of these 700,000 people are workers, technicians, engineers or various handicraftsmen with a skill.
In the past six months, Zhang Tie's most important duty as the commander of the Hurricane Legion is actually to ensure that those Saibian ships that come to Yiyang City can return smoothly one by one.
When those Saibian ships came to Yiyang Port, they also had agreements and exchanges with Huaiyuantang, and in the matter of Saibian, Huaiyuantang had great interests in it.
Zhang Tie's duty is to ensure the interests of Huaiyuantang, and at the same time save as many people as possible.
At this time, when the opportunity to leave the Weiyi subcontinent becomes precious, going to Taixia Saibian has become a luxury, life-saving welfare and special treatment for many ordinary people.
Those who have priority access to the border are those who have families to stay in their countries and cities to resist the demons.
These people hate the demons, and at the same time, they also know that their opportunity to leave the Weiyi subcontinent this time is not easy to come by, so they will also be extremely rare to go to the Taixia side, for those people, no matter what, as long as they can reach Taixia, they can have a stable life under the protection of Taixia, the first power of the human race, they can avoid the war, and they can guarantee that they will not starve to death, it will be enough.
As long as they have experienced the precarious life of ordinary people in the war, words such as "hardship" and "tiredness" have long been deleted from the dictionary of their lives.
In the ship, which carried many Taixia border people, as soon as everyone got on board, the children were separated from the adults, and in a megaton ship called the Flying Whale, when the ship started, those children were taken to classrooms of different sizes, and everyone was given a notebook and a pen when they entered the classroom, and a black teacher in his sixties, with a serious face, gray hair and glasses, wrote two large Chinese characters Taixia on the blackboard of the classroom with chalk After going through too many bumps and tribulations with their families, these children seemed to be more mature and sensible than ordinary children, and in this classroom of hundreds of people, all of them were silent and did not make any noise.
After writing these two words, the black teacher turned around, looked at the children, ranging in age from a few years to a teenager, with a serious face, and began to speak in Xiber.
"When the ship starts, every inch of the deck and every inch of the cabin on this ship is already the territory of Taixia, you are equivalent to standing on the land of Taixia, Taixia is already your motherland, from today onwards, before you get off the ship, you have to learn everything about the Chinese and Taixia with me here, when you get off the ship, you will find that the more Chinese and Chinese you master, the faster you will live a better life than others in the future, the sooner you will get out of your current class background, Entering the mainstream of the Chinese community and winning more social recognition and respect, I hope that at some point in the future, some of you will be able to break away from the identity of border people and become the people of Taixia, and open up a broader space for your families and your future children.
The black teacher looked at the children, he knew that these children might not understand now, but they will understand in the future, and he didn't say anything more, but turned around and pointed at the two words on the blackboard with his whip, "Everyone read taixia with me" "Taixia," hundreds of children read along in a half-baked tone.
"This is where we are going, the greatest and most prosperous country of the human race, and the only human country that can compete with the demons, without Taixia, there will be no human race, if you can have the opportunity to leave Taixia again in the future, if you meet someone who asks you about that country, you can tell him loudly, you are from Taixia, okay, everyone follow me to read Taixia again" “taixia” This time, the children's pronunciation is more accurate.
Half an hour later, the black teacher began to check the children's notebooks for the two Chinese characters "Taixia", and among all the children, the one who wrote the best words and pronounced them more accurately was rewarded with an apple.
Looking at the red apple, all the children's eyes lit up, and they were envious.
In the evening, Zhang Tie left Yiyang Port on the last giant ship By the time the giant ship left the port, the entire Yiyang City had completely turned into an empty city.
Zhang Tie, who was standing on the deck, looked at the city that was about to be occupied by the demons, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.
Zhang Tie escorted the fleet away, and after sailing safely from the Weiyi subcontinent and heading east on the vast sea for three days, knowing that the fleet would never encounter a surprise attack by the demon knights again, Zhang Tiecai calmly announced his decision to the officers of the Hurricane Legion.
After announcing his decision, facing the puzzled and shocked eyes of those officers of the Hurricane Legion, Zhang Tie smiled, "I have already contacted several elders of Huaiyuantang and told them my decision, I am honored to be the leader of the Hurricane Legion in the past few years, and you have been holding on to the Weiyi Subcontinent to the end, your performance has made me impeccable, to be honest, I don't think I am a competent legion commander, I can bring you all out in the end, I myself am relieved, When you arrive in Youzhou, you will have a new army commander, a new beginning, at this time, I only send you a word, the fist withdrawn today is for tomorrow to strike out more powerfully" After saying these words, Zhang Tie stood up and solemnly saluted the officers of the legion.
In the midst of the silent gaze of the legion officer and the solemn military salute, Zhang Tie left his legion tiger talisman on the table in the conference room, and then turned to leave.
After leaving the conference room, Zhang Tie found Tang De, who was leaving with him on this giant ship, and told Tang De his plans, which could be regarded as a farewell to Tang De.
Tang De jumped up all of a sudden, his face was flushed, he was very excited, he didn't care about Zhang Tie's identity that was much higher than him on the surface, the powerful momentum of the grocery store owner next to the train station in Heiyan City appeared on him again, he directly pointed at Zhang Tie's nose and scolded, "Are you burning out of your brain, you want to leave the fleet at this time and want to die, you know how many knights the demon clan and the Three Eyes will have, you know how many times the demon commander can kill you with one hand, you really think that you will be invincible if you become a bullshit knight, Or do you think that you are the reincarnation of the savior, and you have already condensed three or five chakras, how can Lao Tzu teach you such a stupid person, this kind of loss-making business has to be done. ” Zhang Tie wiped a handful of saliva that was sprayed by Tang De, and then gave Tang De a hug fiercely, which directly made Tang De unable to move, patted Tang De's back vigorously, and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't die, I haven't even seen my wife and children in the Eastern Continent, how can I die in the Weiyi Subcontinent."
"So how do you" "I have my reasons" Tang De looked at Zhang Tie's serious face, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "If you really want to go, then I'll send you a word, if you can think about it all the time."
"What words" "You're going to die, and in the future there will definitely be men sleeping with your women beating your baby" Zhang Tie's face twitched, "Can you say something nice." ” "Good words can't touch your soul," Tang Deyi said sternly.
Damn it Tang De's words made Zhang Tie almost want to give up his plan, but after struggling for a while, Zhang Tie still chose to leave, there are some things that he has to do.
Zhang Tie's departure, except for Tang De and the senior officers of the Hurricane Legion, no one else in the entire fleet knew about it After leaving the fleet, Zhang Tie, who was once again unconcerned, returned to the Weiyi subcontinent again:
