Chapter 1766: The Tang Army rested in 1767
In the vast territory of the Tang Empire, there is now another dwarf region. Groups of elite human soldiers began to orderly take over the southwest area originally guarded by the remaining dwarf troops.
These well-equipped soldiers of the Tang Army entered the barracks where the dwarf warriors who had not even been trained were left behind. With their arrival, the red dragon flag of the Tang Empire also flew over these areas.
Not only that, those cities still under the control of the dwarves were also controlled by the Tang army. A series of military operations at the end of winter allowed the Tang Empire to occupy the remaining dwarf-controlled areas as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the coalition forces confronting the Tang Empire did not take the opportunity to move north to try to seize these strategic locations. They knew very well that even if they could temporarily occupy it, it would be difficult to withstand the powerful offensive of the Tang Empire, so they chose a more conservative strategy, which was to wait and see what happened from a safe distance to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
In fact, the Tang Empire tried several small-scale offensive battles in the Rewind Port area, causing the coalition forces to shift their attention in that direction.
These combat operations of Hogg's 1st Group Army did effectively cooperate with the frontal military operations of the Tang Empire troops, allowing them to more smoothly complete the task of taking over the dwarf-controlled areas.
Behind the solid fortifications of the coalition forces, the soldiers could only watch helplessly as the Tang Empire's troops easily occupied the originally empty defense area. Those flying red dragon flags not only symbolized the authority of the Tang Empire, but also indicated that the governance of these areas had changed hands.
As for the dwarf civilians, they did not show much resistance to the arrival of the Tang Empire. Nearly a year of war has left them exhausted, their economy is in decline, and their people's livelihood is withering.
They are struggling to cope with daily life, finding food and finding work to support their families. The war caused a large number of dwarf young adults to lose their lives or be captured, and their families were forced to survive in the face of scarce social resources.
However, with the arrival of the Tang Empire's army, much-needed supplies from the dwarf region also arrived. Food, clothing, medicine and other daily necessities followed the footsteps of the Tang army and entered the dwarf cities that had surrendered. The dwarves were pleasantly surprised to find that their lives were returning to the way they were before the war at an alarming rate.
What is even more exciting is that the governance methods of the Tang Empire seem to be more effective than expected. The Tang army not only brought food and stabilized prices, but also began to repair houses and public buildings damaged by the war.
In sharp contrast, in the past, neither the rulers such as the dwarf nobles nor the coalition forces that later dominated these places had ever cared about the well-being of the dwarf civilians.
Today, the Tang Empire's good deeds make the dwarf civilians feel extremely happy and grateful, as if they have seen the dawn of hope in the darkness. With the passage of time, the quality of life of civilians in the dwarf areas occupied by the Tang Empire has improved significantly.
The originally desolate and dilapidated city was gradually renovated, the dust on the streets was cleared, shops reopened, and people's faces showed smiles again. Tang Jun brought not only material assistance, but also a positive attitude towards life, which made the dwarf civilians feel unprecedented stability and happiness.
In order to make better use of the huge human resources in the dwarf region, the municipal officials sent by the Tang Empire set up various schools as quickly as possible to provide free education opportunities for dwarf children, allowing them to have access to A wider world of knowledge. At the same time, Tang Jun also trained those dwarf women with few skills so that they could serve various local factories as soon as possible and do some men's work. They could support the local economy and development before the dwarves came back. Life.
These measures not only improved the cultural literacy of dwarf civilians, but also laid a solid foundation for their future.
Economic changes were the strength of the Tang Empire. As long as local people were organized to provide some services to the Tang garrison, they could easily earn the first pot of gold for development. The salary level of the troops in the Tang Empire was very high, and the soldiers were also willing to spend money, so they only needed to get something casually to get income from these soldiers.
In terms of culture, the Tang Empire also respected and protected the traditional culture of the dwarf areas. They did not interfere with the dwarves' way of life, and even provided some money and materials to support the local dwarves in holding a traditional festival celebration.
This did gain the favor of most of the dwarves, who invited senior officers of the Tang Army to participate in local activities, and the rapport between the two parties was enviable. It's just that those envious dwarves, landlords, gentry, and old nobles are dead, and they were hung on the street lamps by the Tang army.
Politically, the Tang Empire implemented a fair and just governance method. They respected the rights and wishes of the dwarves, and promoted some local people to govern the local area through elections and recommendations, so that the dwarves could participate in the construction of their own country.
This new, transparent political system allows dwarf civilians to feel unprecedented respect and trust.
In general, the arrival of the Tang Empire brought earth-shaking changes to the dwarf region. Just because time is still short, most of the changes are only beginning to take shape.
Those who are familiar with the Tang Kingdom know that the Tang Kingdom's rule will not only bring material prosperity and cultural progress, but also make the dwarf civilians feel unprecedented happiness and peace.
As time goes by, the local dwarf civilians will definitely support the rule of the Tang Empire more actively and look forward to a better life in the future.
Because there were so many places that had just changed hands, the Tang army had no intention of continuing southward. They consolidated their defense lines, began to repair the railways and roads behind them, built field airports closer to the front line, and at the same time carried out large-scale rest and reorganization.
They continued the continuous campaign for ten months, exhausted physically and mentally, and had reached their limit. In this long battle, the Tang army also made huge sacrifices. Now they urgently need a precious rest time to relieve fatigue and restore energy.
They know that only by taking adequate rest can they maintain their best condition in the next round of military operations and face greater challenges. Therefore, they began to plan how to use this time to effectively recover and adjust. They need to allow themselves and those powerful weapons and equipment to fully rest in this short period of time to ensure that they can perform even better in future battles.
