Chapter 323: It's All My Decision
When Sun Dazhang re-entered the Songhe, the stakes outside the city had been knocked down and demolished. Dozens of resistance fighters are digging pits to bury the victims above.
Inside, the city is still as picturesque as yesterday. The violation was that several buses had loudspeakers on them, and they were broadcasting back and forth along the street at maximum volume.
"Liberated! Citizens of Songhe, we are liberated! Hurry up and get out of the sewers, you don't have to hide, Songhe is now our city!
On the one hand, leaflets are scattered like snowflakes, which is quite a bit of the Republic of China era in the last century.
It's just very effective. Several pale-faced people poked their heads out of the sewers and looked at them cautiously like rats, wondering what was happening. Sun Xiang glanced at it, and they immediately retracted their heads and hid them.
After being oppressed for too long, many things cannot be changed overnight. Wei Kaicheng sent all the members of the resistance organization into the underground and patiently told everyone what was going on.
Most people reacted with disbelief and reluctance to venture out to the ground. There are even a small number of cultivators who are looking for cultivators everywhere and want to report the news and get some benefits.
When Sun Xiang found Wei Kaicheng in the City Lord's Mansion, he was resigning to Zhao Chi. The content of the debate is who will be the lord of the city.
Tu Peng and the others have been locked up and are waiting for the people's trial. But the priority is to get the whole city moving, after all, there are so many mouths to eat.
Wei Kaicheng insisted that Zhao Chi be the new city lord, the reason was very simple, Wei Kaicheng himself was not a cultivator, and it was difficult to convince the public in this era.
"Lao Zhao, the city lord is a name. I won't leak anything I should do, don't think I'm lazy. Wei Kaicheng excused himself.
Zhao Chi insisted that the position of the city lord could only be Wei Kaicheng. Because the colonel insisted on resisting and saved a large number of civilians in Songhe. If it weren't for Wei Kaicheng, Zhao Chi and the others would have just left Songhe City and Tu Peng at most, and would not have the ambition to save all the civilians.
In the most difficult years, everyone rallied around the colonel to get to where we are today. So in any case, the colonel as the leader is what everyone wants.
Fan Haoran and other cultivators present also agreed, but only Wei Kaicheng felt awkward. Now in this world, most of the city lords of a city are the ones who can fight the most. There is a conflict between the two places, and it is usually the city lord who makes an appointment first.
If you win, your morale will be boosted, and if you lose, the whole city will lose face. It would be too embarrassing if other city lords looked for Wei Kaicheng to fight alone in the future. As a soldier, he is not afraid of sacrifice, but he really can't beat it at all!
"Colonel Wei, I think it's more appropriate for you to be the city lord. Sun Xiang walked in with a smile, "Someone has a war letter, so let him come to me." ”
When Wei Kaicheng saw Sun Xiang, he frowned.
"Mr. Sun Xiang, it's just in time. ”
Everyone gathered around to express their sincere gratitude to Master Sun, and of course, some people became interested in the exercises used by Sun Xiang yesterday, and asked why they had never heard of similar supernatural powers in the exchange list of the New World Society.
Sun Xiang snorted, and after a polite exchange, everyone sat down and continued to discuss follow-up matters.
Since Sun Xiang has already spoken, Wei Kaicheng can no longer shirk his position. His only concern is the problem of strength, but now that Sun Xiang is covering him, what is he worried about. As far as Sun Xiang's unparalleled methods were concerned, after they were passed out, they believed that they could deter the vast majority of people.
Next is the issue of material supply, which is Zhao Chi's specialty. In fact, he was originally Rui Qing's adjutant, and he was in charge of this matter in Songhe. He took out the material ledger, and Sun Xiang and Wei Kaicheng circulated it and flipped through it.
Food is well stocked, don't worry about it for now. The value of the yellow refining produced in Songhe is very high, and Tu Peng is actually very rich. In addition to the food, there are also all kinds of spiritual materials, divine weapons, elixirs, magic weapons, and so on that have been exchanged. Tu Peng treats cultivators well, but he treats civilians too badly.
Compared with the Binhai family, it is too shabby to compare with the Songhe side. Sun Xiang thought of the days when the lightning was tight, and his eyes were a little hot for this batch of supplies. Although he didn't say it, Wei Kaicheng was quite eye-catching. He immediately said that Sun Xiang could take as many cultivation materials as he wanted, as long as he left the food for them.
After all, Songhe's cultivators who are now less than forty years old at full count can't use so many cultivation materials. These things are used to thank Sun Xiang for his kindness, and they will be exchanged for refining yellow when they are needed in the future.
Sun Xiang did not refuse, these materials are not only needed by Binhai, but he also needs them. With these additions, he can start building several facilities that he has long wanted to set up.
However, the road is long, and towing so many things back to the coast, twenty convoys may not be able to stop.
The supply of materials is not at risk for the time being, and the biggest problem that Songhe is facing now is a structural problem.
In the past, when Tu Peng ruled, he used to squeeze civilians to the limit to supply a large number of cultivators. And a large number of cultivators, in turn, protected the Songhe River like an iron bucket.
After Wei Kaicheng took over, he obviously couldn't do this. First of all, there were less than forty cultivators left in Songhe, and if he wanted to protect the safety of the city and maintain the cultivation of farmland outside the city, he had to recruit a large number of ordinary soldiers.
As most cities do, a small number of cultivators are paired with a large number of heavily armed soldiers.
But now the problem is that the weapons and equipment are not enough. During the reign of Tu Peng, because there was no need for ordinary soldiers, there were no guns, ammunition, or medicine in the inventory. There are a few underground fortresses, but they can only arm about 2,000 people, which does not play a big role.
Sun Xiang proposed that he could exchange a batch with Binhai. Binhai has a lot of weapons stockpiles, and even the Xuanke Academy can provide some high-tech weapons. It's just that it seems that twenty convoys are not enough, and the spiritual materials are transported here and the weapons are transported over there, so it seems necessary to open up a trade route.
Speaking of this, Wei Kaicheng suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Master Sun, you said yesterday that Yu Xiaoyue, the lord of Binhai City, is your wife, is this true?"
At the time of the auction on the Queen, Wei Kaicheng felt that this pair was a bit weird. But he's a straight man of steel and isn't very sensitive to this aspect of things. Now that I think about it, it seems that it is only natural for the two to be together.
It's just that after the troubled times, Dongfang Baidun's name was too famous, and he couldn't believe it.
"One of the wives. Master Sun took a sip of tea and pretended to be forced lightly.
Fan Haoran gave a thumbs up.
"Lord Sun Xiang, a model for my generation!"
Wei Kaicheng rubbed his hands excitedly, and asked again: "Then the matter of Binhai, Mr. Sun Xiang must be able to speak?"
"What do you mean to be able to speak?" Sun Da looked like he couldn't teach, "I'm in charge of Binhai's affairs!"
"Great!" Colonel Wei Kaicheng and Zhao Chi looked at each other and smiled, "It seems that the plan we have been preparing has not been wasted. ”
