The Sacred Ding

“Do you know? When we were young, where would we live the bitter days we are now. Just find a puddle, take a big net and a pocket, all are big fishes one foot long. That taste, It’s so fresh!”

After the New Year’s Day, although there was still biting-cold wind and snow everywhere outside Hengshan City, Chen Hai deployed a small wind-flame heavenly machine at each of the four corners of the city to ban them, constantly absorbing between Heaven. And Earth’s Xuanyang Astral Fiend, coupled with the dense population in the city, makes the atmosphere warmer than outside the city.

After the ice and soil melted, the streets and alleys except the main road became muddy. The civic man responsible for transporting gravel and slag to pave the road was listening to a gray-haired gray man while he was resting. , The weathered old man sat on the bluestone slab, telling the fertility of Yandang Plain.

On the day of the day, the old man has gray beard and hair, ragged clothes, and wearing a pair of straw sandals that are almost to be trampled on. There are several equally thin old men and dozens of ragged, yellow-faced youngsters around. Listen , Straight swallow saliva.

“Old Zhao, don’t you remember that when my father took us to hunting, the silly roe deer didn’t run when he saw someone. He just passed gently and took the stick so hard. Wave,”

Before he finished speaking, another thin old man took the impatient’s stubbornness, recalling the long memory, and said excitedly with his hands:

” The silly roe deer was knocked over directly on the ground, and the fur was either made into leather or sold. Roe deer skin was warm and had no peculiar smell. Those clan lords were very happy. As for the roe deer meat, it is fragrant. Oil can still be collected. Come down and make fire wax, how nice it was then!” The old man said with tears in his eyes.

“But since Master Junmu gave up Yuchengling, we were forced to move to Hengshan, Brother Old Zhao, how many decades have we lived…”

surnamed Zhao, the old man also burst into tears, and said: “My brother, don’t you just see the good days come. Tianji Shenhou has already smashed the monsters away, and is still building a city in Tongkou, and the people will be moved in the beginning of spring. Reclamation, now all notices have been posted. As long as you are willing to move north, you will be given 15 acres of land if you are 15 years old. Or if you have the strength, you are willing to go to Tongkou and Yandang to participate in the construction of the city. Give ten dollars a day’s wages; if you are lucky enough to join the Longxiang Army, you will be given fifty acres of land, a house, and a farming ox or mule horse outside Hengshan City… It’s a pity that our old bones have no strength to toss anymore. That’s it!”

Several old men who have passed away cried with tears.

Though the youngsters around, although their faces are thin and impoverished, their eyes reveal rays of light full of hope.

At this time, the northern border is still frozen for thousands of miles. Although the winter defensive battle has won successively, the Longxiang Army will defend the Yuchengling Thousand-mile Defense Line in the future, so that the monster will no longer infringe on the land of Yandang Plain. An arduous task.

With existing manpower and material resources, while continuing to build Tongkou City, Longxiang Daying will also rely on Yandang Remnant City and other remnants to build two cities at the same time on the east bank of Tonghe River. Relying on the Wanren Mountain in the northwestern foothills of Qintong Mountain, the line of defense is constructed.

Of course, Chen Hai also plans to choose some suitable land for reclamation between Hengshan and Tongkou, and planting food-later the river management of Tonghe, Guanhe, Tianyuanhe, etc., various things, Both need a lot of young and strong labor.

For a long time, Hengshan City has been the first line of defense against demons. A large number of villages have been abolished, and a large number of remaining population have moved south. In order to build the three cities of Tongkou and Yandang, after tens of thousands of people were recruited, the labor force in Hengshan City began to be in short supply, not to mention large-scale land reclamation and construction of water conservancy projects in Yandang Plain.

However, the winter defensive battle has a great influence. To the south of Hengshan, a large number of landless people in Tianshui County heard the news that Longxiang camp had won great victory and wanted to build a defense line in Yuchengling. They also gathered to move north to Yandang Plain to find a livelihood…

“Senior Brother Wu, during this time, there have been forty to fifty thousand refugees who gathered in the northern border of Pu County and wanted to go to Hengshan. We can still stop them now, but after the beginning of the spring, the refugees will gather more and more, and the trouble will be big. Now we have to figure out a way to come!”

Guanhe City, Zhou Tong is in Wucheng Walking around anxiously in the council chamber of the captain’s mansion.

Although Guanhe City is not the capital of a county, it has always been a military center for Tianshui County to defend against the invasion of monsters from the south.

The Junduwei Mansion is located in Guanhe City, and the Junmu Mansion in Huayang Mansion, it can be said that Tianshui County’s secular power is at the extremes.

Before the earth warmed up and the demon man’s main force retreated north, Zhou Tong, Wu Cheng, and the others still dared not leave Guanhe a little bit, but they did not expect that the demon man soldiers did not bring them this year. No matter what the trouble, new problems arise.

Chen Hai led the Longxiang camp to guard Hengshan or Tongkou. As long as there are not a large number of attached citizens, after all, there is no way to lay a foundation in Yandang Plain. Tianshui County still belongs to Wu. The three clans of Clan, Zhou and Qu, but the situation is a little different now.

There are too many landless poor people in Tianshui County. If we let hundreds of thousands, millions of landless people, move north to Yandangyuan to join the Longxiang Army, then from Hengshan to the north, We must be completely separated from the Wu, Zhou, and Qu tribes.

Thinking about the situation in the future, Zhou Tong also hurried over to discuss countermeasures with Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng sat steadily on the Imperial Tutor chair, the pair of Spirit Seals in his hands turned suddenly and frowning.

If it is said that the people in the county are completely prohibited from going north, it is not difficult to do it. Send troops to guard the passage to the south of Hengshan, but after Liao Yunkui returned from Yuchengling, his reputation was high for a while No two, he insisted on adhering to the people’s side so that Tianshui County would not be afraid of side troubles for a hundred years. This made Tianshui County, and even Hua Yang Sect, there are many dísciples, and they oppose any more elbows against the Hengshan Mountain.

More importantly, the battle between Hexi and Hechuan County is now over.

All the Helan Sword Sect dísciple and relatives who are willing to move eastward with the Huang clan to the Yehuling Mountains, have made their way as they wish. The pioneer troops have entered Tianshui County and will soon enter Qintong Mountain.

This means that the Hexi Army only needs to spend a few months to fully control the situation in Hechuan County and digest the huge population and vast territory.

Helan Sword Sect also has an Old Ancestor in the Dao Tier realm. With millions of soldiers, he was beaten so embarrassed by the Dong clan. When the time comes, if the Dong clan assembled an army to threaten Tianshui and Qinshan, Hua Yang Sect and the three tribes when the time comes, is it a battle?

“Longxiang Captain Shi Sungan, please see Captain.” At this time, Hu Bing ran in from outside to report.

“Why did Sun come here?” Zhou Tong looked towards Wu Cheng in doubt.

Sun Qian assisted Chen Lie in his early years, and then stayed in Liquan to assist Chen Hai. Together with Su Yuan, Zhou Jingyuan, Ge Tong and the others, Chen Hai’s most important adviser.

“Senior Brother Qu, I hope to purchase a batch of celestial weapons from the celestial machine learning palace to strengthen its armament, and leave it to me to talk to Chen Hai. Sun Qian might have come to talk about it. “Wu Cheng said.

“What if Chen Hai is to relocate?” Zhou Tong asked Wu Cheng hesitantly when he thought of something.

“I am worried about this now.” Wu Cheng bitterly said with a smile.

Regardless of the final battle, it is always fundamental to continuously strengthen Tianshui County’s military equipment and improve its own strength. When the time comes, even if it comes to surrender, you can negotiate a good condition without suffering. The Dong family and the old big clans in Hexi bullied.

However, if you want to quickly strengthen your weaponry and enhance your strength, the most convenient and effective means is to equip a large number of heavenly weapons.

Hua Yang Sect craftsman and Refiner Master, regardless of scale and quality, are impossible compared to Taiweizong or Tianji Xuegong. At this time, if you want to buy secret maps and make them yourself, they can’t keep up in a short time. trip.

At this time, Longxiang Camp is equipped with heavy-bore crossbows, and there is a batch of old-style Tianji continuous crossbows for sale. The formidable power of the Tianji Lianbow is slightly worse, but it is the thing that Tianshui County soldiers are most eager for; of course, it is better to obtain the secret map of the heavy-bore crossbow at the same time…

With a few sorrows, Chen Hai was hurriedly heading to Yandang City after supervising the Tongkou City Hekou.

Whether it is the migration of refugees to the north, or the distribution of prisoners to the border, there needs to be a process.

But what Chen Hai lacks now is precisely time.

If the child born can be put into production immediately, Chen Hai can’t wait to put all the couples in the area under the jurisdiction of Hengshan on the bed to make people.

The population of Hengshan City is still small, and the auxiliary soldiers and the old and weak women and children that Wu Cheng left to him at the time are all counted. With a full budget, only thirteen-fourteen million people, so that Qin Tong Shanxi Su Yuan and Zhou Jingyuan used Fengyan airships to mine the mines in the deep mountains of Beilu.

The five major battalions of building cities, building water conservancy, roads, reclamation, and Longxiang Camp will be expanded. More minerals will be mined and workshops will be built. There is no population of 2,000,000. Don’t think about what can be done. , And don’t think about making Qianli Yuchengling a fortified iron city against the southern invasion of the Gorefiend.

The ultimate goal of Chen Hai’s construction of the Yuchengling line of defense is not to defend against the demon’s southern invasion, but to defend against the more powerful and terrifying Rakshasa Gorefiend.

From Helan Mountain to Tieliuling to Taiwei Mountain, there is the convenience of terrain defense, but when Rakshasa bypasses Taiwei Mountain, to the north of Tianshui County, you will find a huge gap here. .

If this gap is not blocked, the defense lines of Helan Mountain, Tieliuling and Taiwei Mountain will not be established.

However, considering the huge body, powerful attack power and desperate number of the blood demons, Chen Hai plans to build a dozen cities on the front line of Yucheng Ridge. Iron juice must be used to mix the broken pieces. Only by watering the stone can it be solid.

It’s just that each city must be big enough to accommodate enough refugees, and the city wall must be high enough and strong enough. What kind of manpower and material resources are needed to achieve this?

“Will Hua Yang Sect give in?” Su Yuan rode his horse, following Chen Hai’s side.

“Maybe, maybe No way. If the Wu family and others are in the heart of submitting to the Dong family, they are more likely not to let go of the border and let the refugees come in.” Zhou Jingyuan said worriedly .

“Look, after the beginning of spring, if there are enough landless people gathered in the northern border of Pu County, Tianshui County soldiers will not release the switch card. I will lead my troops to pick them up.” Chen Hai said.

Chen Hai’s speech is very weak, and also reveals a touch of murderous aura.

Su Yuan and Zhou Jingyuan were in awe, Chen Hai sometimes compromised and gave in, but sometimes refused to give up, blade and weapon faces one another.

Everyone followed Chen Hai to Yandang City, a newly built Yandang City built on the basis of the demon-man remnant village. After the setting sun was working hard to dissipate its last light and heat, it fell below the horizon unwillingly and a round of meniscus. Hanging obliquely on the treetops.

The entire Yandang City is illuminated by more than one hundred campfires, and the city wall is still busy.

Chen Hai crossed the nascent city gate, remember that when he came to sweep up this ruined village, it was still broken. But the city wall that was only two meters high in front of him was dark azure. He hammered it slightly hard, and there was a metallic feel at the tentacle, which was also poured in accordance with the method of Tongkou City.

He was satisfied and nodded, and asked sideways to welcome Qi Hanjiang: “What time is it now, why hasn’t work stopped here? Civil service is limited in physical strength, don’t over-press…”

p>

Qi Hanjiang grinned and said with a smile: “My lord, I dare not overly squeeze the people’s power with your instructions. However, the more than 10,000 people are too enthusiastic and can’t stop them. This is what I do day and night. Su. At this time, the husband came and ordered to come over, divide the minhu into two shifts, and take turns to play…”

At this time, someone at the construction site recognized Chen Hai and instantly ignited a sea of ​​enthusiasm.

Chen Hai looked at the cheering excitedly people in front of him, and felt that it was these ordinary people without the strength of 1000 Jin that constituted this vast world, and they worked hard to support one after another aloof and remote clan .

It is ridiculous that those in the clan with high self-esteem always think that Sweeping Across the World can be achieved with more magic weapons, more armor, and more weapons, but snort disdainfully to the power that is at your fingertips.
