Chapter 141 Huge Immigration Tide
After Antico returned to Pella, he immediately chose to receive the reward given by the system, but he didn't know that at the moment he clicked to receive it, a violent wind and huge waves suddenly set off in an uninhabited area of ​​the Aegean Sea, followed by bursts of electricity. There was a flash of thunder, and countless Greek-style ships rushed out of the huge waves. The sailors and immigrants on the deck were all terrified. They knelt down and prayed to the sea god Poseidon for protection. Perhaps the gods really blessed them in the dark. , despite the monstrous waves, none of the ships were overturned by the waves.

After the last ship full of immigrants rushed out of the huge waves, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the scene of huge waves, lightning and thunder disappeared instantly, and the Greek immigrants on board were still kneeling on the wet deck, watching The glaring sun and the cloudless sky made me weep bitterly and thank the gods for their blessings.

When this convoy encountered other merchant ships that happened to pass by, the sailors and passengers on the merchant ship looked in amazement at the Greek-style ship that was completely wet as if it had just experienced a storm, and had no idea why they did so. This is because since they sailed into the Aegean Sea, the entire sea has been cloudless and fine, with warm sunshine shining on them, and they have never encountered even a single rainy day.

They seem to come from two worlds, so out of place.

This fleet ignored the surprised merchant ships. They followed the majestic voice full of nothingness they heard before rushing out of the huge waves, and headed towards the city of Pella standing on the eastern coast of the Ograle Peninsula at full speed. There were nearly three people on board. Thousands of Greek immigrants, as far as the eye can see, the entire sea is occupied by ships with wet white sails. If Antigonus hadn't said hello in advance, the Royal Navy patrolling near the city of Pella would very likely regard them as the main force of the enemy country. Scale the invasion fleet.

After the fleet slowly sailed into the city of Pella under the escort of warships, these nearly [-] immigrants were immediately welcomed by the residents of Pella City. Officials who had been prepared for it also arranged for them to be placed in the vacant houses or houses in the city in an orderly manner. It is in the temporary dwellings that have been built outside the city, and will be resettled after the king issues an order.

In addition to the nearly [-] immigrants who came down from the fleet, there were also several large boxes filled with [-] drachmas of silver coins to be dedicated to Antigonus, as well as a general with blond hair but blind in one eye and His [-]-strong legion were also equipped with Sarisar spears.

This general was the famous "One-Eyed" Antigonus in later generations, the founder of the Antigonian dynasty of the Macedonian Kingdom, and one of the greatest commanders in the Hellenistic era.

In another world, Antigonus was one of the veterans who followed Alexander the Great in his Eastern Expedition. After the death of the Great, he also participated in the action of dividing up the empire's territory, and obtained Anatolia as the initial base, and then tried his best Participated in the Successor Wars for dominance of the Hellenistic world, and was eventually killed at the disastrous Battle of Ipsus, ending his invincible military career.And after arriving in this world, the veteran's memory of the other world only stays before Alexander's illness and death, as well as the three thousand silver shield veterans under him who came here, that is to say, the system directly erases their memories , and instilled in them the belief of loyalty to King Antigonus.

Antigonus naturally likes the system's clean and efficient workmanship. "One-Eyed" Antigonus's military talent is unquestionable. With the allegiance of such a famous general, Antigonus's overseas expansion will probably be much easier.

After asking the military consul Kronos to arrange "One-Eyed" Antigonus and his Silver Shield Army to live in the royal barracks, Antigonus began to prepare to consider the resettlement of the immigrants.After systematic notification, these immigrants have a total of more than 1 Macedonian citizens and more than 3000 immigrants from various Greek city-states and other places. Perhaps the system considers that the most lacking thing in the kingdom is the basic civilians, so the number of nobles Not many, only two to three thousand people, and the rest are all citizens with small assets and ordinary free people.

Antigonus then summoned his cabinet members to discuss how to distribute the huge number of immigrants.Although there are still many vacant places for resettlement in the land within Thermopylae, Antigonus wants to see balanced development. Currently, Larissa, Acelos, Lamia, Gretepolis, and Usmbo The five Macedonian cities in Lys were all in a state of lack of population, especially the newly captured Usmpolis, which had no other residents except the city defense troops left by Antigonus before leaving, and Lami. Lamia was a town abandoned by the Koritas. After Antigonus generously allowed them to return to their homeland, a large number of Koritas returned to live in Lamia, so much so that nine out of ten residents were Koritas. Tower people, the ratio is even higher.

Therefore, although Lamia is nominally still a city of the Kingdom of Macedonia, in fact it is still ruled by the Kritans. The consul Diodotos here acts cautiously for fear of disrupting local stability.

"The west must be developed!" At the meeting, Antigonus slammed the table and made a final decision.

……

In just one night, the cabinet completed the immigration plan. They decided to send 5000 Macedonian nobles and [-] Macedonian citizens to Usmpolis first, to develop this westernmost remote city, and to increase the number of Macedonian kingdoms. In terms of influence in the west, the garrison of Usmpolis alone is still somewhat insufficient. After he moved [-] people there, he was able to mobilize and form an army when necessary.

In addition, the two towns of Larissa and Arcelos each accepted one thousand Macedonian nobles, two thousand Macedonian citizens, and two thousand immigrants from other Greek worlds. This is the maximum population that the two towns can accommodate in a short period of time. If a large number of people are relocated to this area rashly, not only will the housing resources be tight, but the stored food and other materials may also be insufficient.

The two cities of Lamia and Greatpolis, where a large number of barbarian tribesmen lived, were the most troublesome for Antigonus. While relocating [-] to [-] Macedonian citizens and [-] Greek immigrants in each city, the famous "One-Eyed" General Antigonus led his Silver Shield Legion to accompany them and set up camp in the area between the two cities to deter the barbarians. .

As for the remaining [-] Macedonian citizens and [-] Greek immigrants, Antigonus broke up their numbers and took hundreds of people with enough rations and construction tools to go to several untouched cities. In order to protect these immigrants from the attacks of wild beasts and barbarians, Antigonus sent out the heavy infantry of the First Legion who had been replaced by Thracian mercenaries to guard the immigrants.
