Chapter 1237 Ice and Snow Melt, Spring Sowing Is the Best

With the help of the great victory in East Africa, a turmoil that occurred in the ruling and opposition parties of Daxia finally gradually subsided.

Although the imperial court's tricks are hidden dangers, smart people can still see the clues, at least they dare not openly oppose the Supreme Court of Daxia. All the turmoil turned from bright to dark.

Ouyang Shuo is very clear-headed, this kind of ideological dispute cannot be reversed overnight.

Fortunately, Great Xia is still expanding and developing at a high speed, and all hidden dangers can be resolved in the process of development, so as not to shake the foundation of the dynasty.

The rest is left to the test of time.

…………

After conquering South Sudan and Kenya, Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied, and ordered the African theater to prepare for the next battle immediately after a short rest.

This time, the targets are Uganda and Tanzania.

Uganda is located in the east of Africa, bordering South Sudan and Kenya, with a total area of ​​241,500 square kilometers. Most of the entire territory is located on the East African Plateau, with many lakes and an average altitude of 1,000-1,200 meters. It is known as the "Plateau Water Town".

Although it is located on the equator, due to its high terrain, criss-crossing rivers, and dotted lakes, Uganda has abundant rainfall, luxuriant plants, and spring-like seasons. It was once called the "Pearl of Africa" ​​by Churchill.

Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world and the largest in Africa. 42.8% of it is in Uzbekistan. The lake area is rich in cotton and coffee, and it was also the main export product during the British colonial period.

Uganda has a total of 4 million players and 200,000 imperial guards.

Then there is the country of Tanzania further south.

Tanzania is one of the birthplaces of ancient humans. It is located in the east of Africa and south of the equator. It is mainly based on agriculture. It had trade relations with Arabia, Persia and India before BC.

The territory is rich in mineral resources, the main minerals include gold, diamond, iron, nickel, phosphate, coal and various gemstones, etc., ranking fifth in Africa in total.

Tanzania has 5 million players and 250,000 imperial guards.

Therefore, even if the two countries join forces, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Great Xia Army, not to mention that after capturing South Sudan and Kenya, the Great Xia Army has a relatively stable rear.

When the Great Xia campaigned in East Africa, the biggest enemy was not at home, but in Europe and the United States.

Fortunately, the European and American dynasties are also busy occupying territory in the African continent, and have no time to take care of Daxia for the time being. Even the two native African dynasties, Egypt and Bantu, are busy expanding abroad.

Ouyang Shuo predicted that the seven years of Gaia will be the year when the various powers carve up the African continent. By next year, everything will be settled and enter the most brutal period of lords' struggle for hegemony.

In this way, how can Ouyang Shuo be conservative, he must go forward bravely, use this year to expand in East Africa, and establish a solid foundation.

Otherwise, there will be no game at all in Gaia for eight years.

…………

In March of the seventh year of Gaia, apart from the African battlefield, there was a wave of disturbance in the South American continent on a global scale. Just as Ouyang Shuo expected, the Indian Empire set fire to the Argentine region, Casillas finally couldn't sit still.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Black Snake Guards, on March 15th, the Spanish dynasty added 150,000 troops to the Argentine region, plus the 200,000 troops originally stationed here, Casillas was determined to defend this place.

For this reason, the Spanish dynasty even temporarily gave up the fight for the African continent.

Casillas is not stupid. He knows that the African continent is being watched by many tyrants. There are many wolves and few meat. The European dynasties participating in the competition in West Africa belong to the same camp as the Spanish dynasties. There are too many constraints.

On the contrary, the South American continent is a big piece of fat.

More importantly, South America is a radiation circle of Spanish cultural traditions and has a mass base.

If the Dawson dynasty can join forces to annex the entire South America in one fell swoop, then for the Spanish dynasty, it will be able to reach a new level and surpass European rivals such as the Gaul dynasty.

As Spain increased its troops to the Argentine region, the situation in South America became more and more complicated.

…………

The time has entered March, the cold winter is gradually going away, and the breath of spring begins to permeate the wilderness.

Outside the capital city, on the bank of the Friendship River, willows sprout new green buds and float in the wind; above the wilderness, there are green grass, and nameless white flowers bloom quietly, attracting colorful butterflies.

The earth rejuvenates.

In the past cold winter, the Mongolian grasslands in the north, Jingchu land in the south, Tubo in the west, and Dazhou in the east were all experiencing a severe test of life and death.

Hundreds of millions of people are fighting against cold and hunger.

As the cold winter passed, the ice and snow melted, and the corpses that died of freezing or starvation appeared one by one, making people both numb and sad.

For the people in the wilderness, this was the most difficult winter in memory. There are those whose wives and children are separated;

A natural disaster changed the color of the world.

Therefore, as the ice and snow melted, in the spring of the seventh year of Gaia, from the emperor to the common people, the focus of attention was no longer the wars of previous years, but the sowing of seeds.

People pray that the weather will be smooth this year and tide over the difficulties.

In fact, as early as years ago, this battle against hunger had already begun. The land of Huaxia, including Daxia, all ordered local counties to reclaim cultivated land.

The purpose is to ensure a good harvest in the coming year.

What makes people helpless is that with the advent of cold winter, the wilderness land is as frozen as a stone and cannot be turned at all. Therefore, as soon as the ice and snow melted and the land thawed, the people from all over the country could not wait to dispatch all of them to reclaim the cultivated land while there was still a month before the spring sowing.

In Da Zhou and other countries, the imperial court even did not hesitate to dispatch troops to speed up the speed of land reclamation.

They are racing against time.

Afterwards, some people did not make complete statistics. This time alone, the land of Huaxia added more than 100 million mu of arable land.

In view of this, the unification of China planned by Great Xia has also been temporarily postponed for three reasons.

First, although Daxia had purchased a large amount of grain before, with the expansion of the territory, the population surged, and the consumption of the war, the grain storage in various places was close to the limit.

Guaranteeing Gaia's seven-year grain production is also crucial to Daxia.

If you choose to start the war at this time, in addition to dispatching regular troops, you must recruit a large number of laborers to transport food and grass for the army, and delay the reclamation of cultivated land and the upcoming spring sowing.

The loss outweighs the gain.

Based on this, if the Great Summer wants to start a war, it must at least wait until the end of the spring sowing.

Second, if Great Xia launches the War of Unification of China at this time, even if they can win, they will get a piece of territory that has delayed spring sowing and is extremely scarce in food.

To put it bluntly, it is a heavy burden.

Even with the power of Great Summer, such a burden will be increased at once, and if the self-sowing is affected, there will definitely be food shortages.

At that time, the situation may not be under the control of the court.

Therefore, if you choose to launch a war at the beginning of spring, it is a typical example of harming others and benefiting yourself.

Third, the war in Africa is in full swing, and changes may occur at any time.

At this time, in order to keep the war in Africa free from accidents, the mainland must have the support capability to support the African theater at any time. It is also unwise to launch a war at home at this time.

Based on the above points, the Great Xia battle must be postponed.

Although doing so will give the Four Nations Alliance a breathing space, it is the safest choice.

Mongol Empire, Hara and Lin.

While the land of the Central Plains was busy reclaiming cultivated land, the Mongol Empire finally made a new move.
