De Marre's secret report and St. Petersburg's compromise finally eliminated Desay's determination to endure the fate of the death.

Immediately, the Grand Duke of Warsaw reached an agreement with Eugen, and the French prince, as Governor of Danze, ordered the lifting of the restrictions on the five Russian merchant ships that were seized and released them back to the country to show the French army's sincerity for Russia. However, the maritime blockade against St. Petersburg continued to be effective until the Duchy of Warsaw and the Russian Empire finally reached a memorandum of understanding.

After lingering in Danze for several days, Desai and his guards, guard brigades, military police brigades, artillery battalions, battlefield hospitals and other departments set off again and prepared to go upstream along the Vivas River and head towards the Polish capital Warsaw.

As for the Catalan Navy, which participated in the joint fleet of the four countries, they continued to station in Danze Port under the leadership of General James Bommai and Colonel Mayar (the Frenchman who joined the port of Cherbourg and took over Captain King) and conducted pre-war adaptive training.

Among the reorganized advance fleet, the least eye-catching engineering battalion also stayed in Danze. On the day the main force left with the Grand Duke of Warsaw, the engineering battalion began a top-secret mission, responsible for setting up a telegraph line directly to Warsaw from the port of Danze. All equipment came from the Asian Games of Catalonia, ready to initiate a reliable, instant and long-distance communication method in the war against Russia.

In fact, Morse Telegram was successfully developed in the laboratory of the Hruna Ordnance earlier last year.

In April this year, just as the railway between Manresa and Barcelona was opened, a practical telegraph line connecting the political capital and the economic center was also paved along the railway line and was successfully inspected at one time. Soon, Desai asked several telegraph engineers to accompany the army and guide the engineer battalion to set up this safe and reliable long-distance communication tool between major Polish cities.

When he set off for Warsaw, Desai gave up his plan to take a boat along the Vivas River. After more than two months of long-distance sailing, all the officers and soldiers had long hated the hard life on the ship. They would rather step on the solid earth with their feet and measure the distance from Danze to Warsaw step by step. However, the slow-moving artillery battalion and the battlefield hospital that needed special care were no longer within this range. They would take three flat boats respectively.

Leaving the delta area at the mouth of the Vivas River, Desai's troops passed through the satellite city of Danze, Marburg, and entered his private territory as the Grand Duke of Warsaw, the Danze Corridor of the Pod Plain.

The terrain of the entire Danze Corridor is lower and flat than other places in northern Poland, with an average altitude of mostly below 80 meters. Along the way are large swaths, forests, towns and farmland. However, there are hills with an altitude of more than 300 meters in Tulmberg, which is the highest point of the Pod Plain. In terms of its cause, it is a typical moraine hill.

In June and July last year, when Desai ordered two Polish cavalry divisions to recover the Danze Corridor by force, the two thousand Prussian troops originally stationed here chose to be defeated without a fight and evacuated to East Prussia, along with many nearby German residents, which led to the Danze Corridor towns, villages and fields almost deserted.

However, five months later, as Desai and the Lisbon nobles reached a final solution to black slaves, thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of black men and women, they would have long-term "free civilian status" from the Iberian Peninsula, boarding Polish smuggling merchant ships carrying food to Britain, migrating thousands of miles to the Danze Corridor to settle down.

When Desai's army marched to Kevizen, the Catalan Minister in Warsaw Marquis Fernando rushed to report to his monarch after hearing the news. While reporting on the resettlement of black workers in the Danze Corridor, he also sent more than 5,000 war horses to the soldiers of the Guards and Gendarmerie Brigades, increasing the speed of the troops' marching from 25 kilometers per day to 100 kilometers.

Previously, Desai was transported to Poland by Andalusian horses. When the army's logistics officer told the Regent that although Andalusian horses were very suitable for long-distance travel, they could not adapt to the severe cold weather of the Baltic Sea, it was recommended to use local horse breeds.

Therefore, in the entire advance fleet, only more than a hundred Andalusian war horses were carried for use by senior officers and messengers. Even the guards around the Grand Duke of Desay, their war horses were borrowed from the Danze Army, which of course was just borrowed or returned.

Now the Marquis of Fernando holds several positions. He not only represents the United Kingdom of Catalonia, but also is a plenipotentiary appointed by the Grand Duke of Warsaw. He is also responsible for the management of the Danze Corridor - Desay's private territory.

Originally, the internal affairs of the Danze Corridor were handed over to Count Koshichushko and Major Korol, but obviously, they failed the expectations of the Desai monarch in the "Regent Act" incident and were ruthlessly sent to the cold palace by the latter. The superiors not only refused Count Koshichushko's arrival at Danze to meet his request, but also sent Major Korol to St. Petersburg.

However, after a great enlightenment, the defeated and captured Spanish marquis in front of him seemed loyal and loyal to his monarch. He not only made a decision but also had a safe relationship with his family. Of course, Desai was also very favored by Fernando and his family. Not only promoted the old marquis to his confiscated marquis, but also ordered the return of the French army's land and confiscated wealth since 1808, and gave three manor fields and 500,000 francs of huge compensation.

In addition, Desai as the Regent, he conferred the Marquis of Fernando as a viscount in the defense of Zaragoza. He unfortunately died his eldest son as his viscount. On the commission of Prince Desai, the guardian of the female grand duke Isabella of Khruna and Lady Litisia, also kindly invited the daughter of Marquis of Fernando who had lost her husband in the war to go to the Palace of Manresa to serve as a prominent local court official.

Fernando reported to Desay: "As of late July 1811, more than 20 towns and nearby villages including Kvizen, Jove, Gdansk, Tchev, Yabvorov, Chersk, Grujones, Haiwumuro, Tukhola, etc., and more than 108,000 black workers and their families were taken in and placed in the entire Danze Corridor.

Among them, more than 80% are middle-aged men and women between the ages of 16 and 35, and the ratio of men and women is roughly the same. According to your requirements, the territory does not accept elderly people over 50 years old. In addition, 12,000 to 15,000 people come to this collective labor camp every month. It is estimated that by the end of this year, this territory will live and work at least 250,000 to 300,000 black people."

Desai nodded with satisfaction. He had received the above situation when he arrived at Port Danze. Today he followed the report of the Marquis Fernando, intending to seek the latter's opinion, whether it is necessary to continue to increase the number of black immigrants after 1812.

Intelligence sent from Portugal and southern Spain said that hundreds of thousands of black slaves still hoped to enter this free land. They did not dare to gather in Lisbon, so they flocked to the Porter area in the lower reaches of the Guardiana River on the western border.

"In my opinion, there is no need to expand the manpower, Your Highness!" The old Marquis explained: "The placement of 300,000 black workers in the Danze Corridor is the largest limit. The number of people working in farmland, rivers, pastures, logging farms and plantations here is becoming saturated, and various handicraft workshops and processing sites opened by merchants cannot recruit too many people without limit."

"Well, then forget it, you reply to the Manresa Cabinet on my behalf and let them start to deal with this matter." Desai would naturally wisely choose to give up for the redundant black slaves. He is by no means a professional philanthropist who is charitable.

Like other white men, the Marquis Fernando would not be too sympathetic to the misfortune of the blacks.

Those Danze Corridors, which are considered to be "the land of freedom", are on the surface, Desai was copying the collective farm system of later Soviet Union, but their connotations are improved versions of the Polish serf system in the 19th century, and of course part of the "Hruna Safe Village" back then.

In these black collective farms, all means of production, such as large agricultural tools, livestock, herds, living and business buildings, belong to their lord, the Grand Duke of Warsaw; the black farmer must comply with the order and divide it into groups to carry out unified collective labor; and the entire income of the farmer, after deducting the consumption of the means of production and paying the lord's income, must also eliminate the various expenses paid to each farmer before the Grand Duke of Desai, such as merchant ship transportation fees, early living expenses, household registration management fees, free redemption fees, etc. Only those that remain are distributed to personal consumption according to the quantity and quality of the labor.

At the same time, Desai's agent, Marquis Fernando, also allowed the black farmer to keep a certain amount of land beside the house and small farm tools, raise a certain amount of livestock and poultry, and run a family side business.

Before January 1811, there were only 10 black collective farms in the entire Danze Corridor, each of which had only 100 farmers (2-3 people per household, no elderly, only a small number of children), and 500 hectares of agricultural land;

But in July six months later, the number of farms grew to more than 40, while each collective farm soared to 500 farmers (the average number of 4-5 people per household increased significantly, and there were still no elderly people over 50 years old), 3,000 hectares of agricultural land, 1,850 cows (including 623 cows), 2,067 pigs, and 1,730 sheep.

The Marquis of Fernando, in accordance with the plan of the Grand Duke of Warsaw, after 1812, the concentrated farm in the Danze Corridor produced various grains, raw cotton, beets, pigs, cattle, sheep, fish and other meat, fresh milk and cheese, wool and their products, various seasonal fruits, medium and low-intensity alcohol, etc., which must meet the military supply of 200,000 troops and the daily consumption of at least 1 million non-agricultural population.

The entire collective farm is usually a two-level organizational structure, namely, the collective farm and the production team (animal Husbandry and Fishery Farm), and implements a quasi-military management model. The power within the collective farm is concentrated in the hands of administrative officials, public security law enforcement officers (part-time police officers and judges), Catholic priests and other three people, and they negotiate to appoint the leaders of each production team.

In addition, in order to suppress all restless people in the collective farm and to prevent the invasion of their private territory by external forces, the Grand Duke of Desay also dispatched three divisions of Polish cavalry in the Danze Corridor. After two of the cavalry divisions were urgently transferred to the Neva River to fight against the military danger of the Russians, with the assistance of the Danze French army, two other Polish infantry divisions were prepared.

"How is the life of black people?" Desai continued.

"It should be said that most black workers are very happy. They cherish the happy life here very much. As long as they work hard 10 hours a day, no one will hit them with a whip for fun, and no one will buy and sell them as talking animals, and they can also obtain a few private property of their own and a chapel for their souls. Of course, for those very restless people, they will do a good job of aftermath when transporting merchant ships and distributing farm workers."

When describing, the Marquis of Fernando did not exaggerate much. Although the collective farms of the former Soviet Union were nothing more than four centuries of Russian serfdom in the 20th century, it was not bad for the blacks who became serfs to be inhuman treatment than the inhuman treatment of slaves.

As black men of indentured serfs, they could only take a settlement fee to the lord with their hard work within ten years and leave the Danze corridor, go to Cape Verde in Africa, or settle down again where they were willing to take them in.

As for those black workers and their families who want to continue to stay in Poland and obtain citizenship, in addition to joining the army and making meritorious services, they must go through a series of rigorous assessments and have intermediate cultural standards.

Desai asked again: "How do all walks of life in Warsaw view this?"

Marquis Fernando replied respectfully: "There was no reaction. Except for the Jacobin radicals complaining in the newspaper, the people of Warsaw did not have much objection to this. This is your private territory after all, and it is your suffering slaves in the form of a contract. In comparison, black people are treated better than serfs on Polish land."
