Chapter 461: Qingzhou Affairs (Happy Seventh Day of the Lunar New Year!!)
Some people may say, Lin Ze planted puppet marks on so many fire-armored cows, isn't it too troublesome, and at the same time, it's too wasteful of puppet marks?!
Hehe, sometimes things are better than trouble. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Maybe Lin Ze did a lot of trouble by doing this, but this is the safest way to do it, and at the same time, it is not wasteful at all.
The Barbarian Beast Legion is a powerful weapon in Lin Ze's hands, and it is a powerful killer weapon that he will use against the enemy in the future, so Lin Ze has to ensure the absolute loyalty of the Barbarian Beast Legion to him.
Lin Ze had the Plane Seed World in his hands, and he could quickly cultivate a large number of powerful brute beasts.
Maybe ordinary fire-armored cows would indeed not oppose Lin Ze under the orders of the bull king, but after the strength of these ordinary fire-armored cows increased to the acquired level five or above, would they still be so obedient?
In the ancient imperial dynasties of China, those ministers who held great power and could even fight against the emperor, in the end, who did not have the heart of rebellion in their hearts.
At this point, there is actually no difference between humans and brutes.
After feeling their strong strength, those brute beasts would not be willing to be controlled by Lin Ze like this, and with Lin Ze's express order to send them to death, they would rise up and resist.
What will Lin Ze do when the time comes? Will he eliminate, or eliminate, or exterminate these rebellious brute beasts?!
The answer is obvious, everyone will destroy these rebellious brutes as soon as possible.
However, in this way, not only did Lin Ze's strength be reduced, but also a lot of resources that Lin Ze had invested in them before were also wasted.
Therefore, in order to avoid these troubles in the future, Lin Ze had to plant a puppet mark on these fire-armored cows, so that Lin Ze could rest assured that he could use a large amount of resources to improve the strength of these fire-armored cows.
........................
The Fire Armor Ox is not the only harvest that Lin Ze has harvested today, and today Lin Ze has also harvested a huge iron-rich ore.
After Hu Wei took Lin Ze to the iron ore mine in Huoniu Valley, Lin Ze's induction directly began to check the iron ore content here.
The result is gratifying, just within the range of Lin Ze's induction power, there are nearly 10 million tons of iron ore reserves here, and Lin Ze has not checked other places, but Lin Ze believes that there will also be huge iron ore in other places.
What made Lin Ze even happier was that after the confirmation of the iron-smelting experts brought by Hu Wei, the iron ore here has an iron content of between 50 and 60 percent, which is definitely an iron-rich ore, and the iron ore with an iron content of between 50 and 60 percent can even be directly smelted without being sorted.
Therefore, this time, Lin Ze not only found the huge treasure of the Fire Armor Ox, but also guarded this iron ore that could bring Lin Ze in the future, regardless of money and equipment!
In one day, after getting such two big treasures, it's no wonder that Lin Ze was not excited in his heart!
Lin Ze, who was in a happy mood afterwards, even accompanied by Hu Wei and others, visited the North Mountain in the northwest of the Huoniu Valley, although it is said to be the North Mountain, in fact, the plants on the mountain are still very dense, it is simply a primeval forest.
The mountain is full of forests, evergreen and lush in all seasons, and not far from entering it, a large number of animals appeared in front of Lin Ze, such as tusked rabbits, colorful chickens, saber-toothed pigs and other wild animals.
These are extremely delicious wild things, and Lin Ze certainly won't miss them.
In this way, Lin Ze enjoyed a delicious game picnic again, and sighed in his heart, today is really his lucky day.
If Lin Ze was still on Earth, he really wanted to buy lottery tickets at this moment!
After returning to Poplar Town, Lin Ze organized people to go to the Fire Cow Valley to carry those fire armor cattle, and at the same time, he began to order Hu Wei to recruit workers to mine iron ore, and first recruit people to open up a road to the iron mine.
The weight of iron ore is concentrated, and without a good road, it will be very difficult to transport iron ore in the future.
In fact, what Lin Ze wanted to build most was a railroad track, a railroad track connecting Poplar Town and the Huoniu Valley Iron Mine.
As for the problem of not having a locomotive, it is definitely not a problem for the powerful and powerful fire armor ox to pull a few carriages at high speed.
However, now the iron ore is just ready to be mined, so the refining of the rails will have to wait for a while, and the matter of the railway will be postponed as a matter of course.
In the past few days when Poplar Town subdued the Fire Armor Ox, Lin Ze was not idle, he directly took Poplar Town aside.
After Lin Ze's inspection these days, he found that there are still great prospects for development in Poplar Town, not to mention the iron mine in Huoniu Valley, which is equivalent to a gold mine, just the land around Poplar Town, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
Lin Ze estimates that there are still 170,000 or 80,000 acres of farmland in Yangshu Town that can be cultivated, and these lands used to be impossible to cultivate because of the lack of water sources, but now Lin Ze can easily determine the location of the groundwater, coupled with the water presses and foot water divers that are constantly produced in the military craftsman camp in Huangsha Town, it is no longer a problem to reclaim these fields.
In the future, because of the existence of the iron mine in the Huoniu Valley, Yangshu Town will definitely develop vigorously, and the population will increase dramatically, in this way, there will definitely be a food crisis here, and now it is okay, as long as the 167,000 acres of heaven and earth are reclaimed, it can solve the great food problem of Yangshu Town.
Now that Lin Ze has captured so many fire-armored cattle, with the fire-armored cattle as farming cattle, it is no longer a problem for Yangshu Town to open up these 167,000 mu of land.
Thinking that it was another barren land, about to become a treasure land in his hands, Lin Ze's heart swelled with pride.
"As long as the iron ore here in Yangshu Town is reclaimed, then even if those chaotic people in Qingzhou come to attack me, I am fearless, hehehe........ Lin Ze's eyes looked in the direction of Qingzhou, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After Lin Ze subdued Bai Yucheng's Bai Yan, his shortcomings in intelligence also made up for it, and with Bai Yan, any information from the Chu State, Lin Ze could quickly know.
The riot in Qingzhou that occurred three months ago has not only not been quelled yet, but the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and several of the leaders have even directly defeated more than a dozen cities and occupied them, and the army of Chu has been defeated more than once in the hands of those rebel troops in Qingzhou.
Now, near Qingzhou, there is no army that can fight against the rebel forces in Qingzhou.
According to the information provided by Bai Yan, now the rebel army in Qingzhou has begun to assemble on the border of Shazhou, and it seems that these rebel troops in Qingzhou want to attack Shazhou.
When Lin Ze saw this information, he was actually very puzzled in his heart.
He felt that the rebel troops in Qingzhou had broken their brains and actually started the idea of a sandbank.
The sandbar is much more dilapidated than Qingzhou, and there is no oil and water here at all, not to mention that there is a powerful white elephant army here on the sandbank.
The White Elephant Legion did not take a large-scale attack on the rebel forces in Qingzhou before, the main reason was that they needed to defend against the barbarians outside, but now the rebel troops in Qingzhou were sent directly to the door, such a 'good thing', where would the White Elephant Legion miss it.
Therefore, when the rebel troops in Qingzhou came to Shazhou, they were definitely killing themselves, so Lin Ze thought that the leaders of those rebel troops were fools.
If Lin Ze was the leader of the rebel army, he would definitely not choose Sandbank, which is not only very barren here, but also has extremely strong folk customs, coupled with the powerful White Elephant Army, it is definitely not a good idea to come to Sandbank.
In contrast, the other Yuzhou and Haizhou are more suitable.
The wealth of these two continents is similar to that of Qingzhou, because it is in the inner part of the Chu State, so the military strength of these two continents is not strong, as long as they attack these two continents, I believe that there will be a big harvest.
It's a pity that those rebels in Qingzhou chose the direction of attack on Shazhou, which really made Lin Ze unable to figure it out.
However, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, since the Qingzhou rebel army is coming to Shazhou, then Lin Ze has to make arrangements.
Two months ago, the number of rebel troops in Qingzhou had reached 300,000, and now that two months have passed, this two must have greatly increased.
Don't look at Huangsha Town, which is far away from the junction of Qingzhou and Shazhou, more than 500 kilometers, but Lin Ze has to start preparing now.
On the earth, a road of 500 kilometers is indeed a long way, and if you walk, you can't reach it in 30 or 40 days, even if you use modern means of transportation, you can't get there in a day.
However, this is the Shenzhou Continent, and the physical fitness of the people here is four or five times stronger than that of ordinary people on the earth, plus the horses here are also four or five times stronger than those on the earth, so the distance of five hundred kilometers is actually not far.
Don't look at the distance of 500 kilometers seems to be a long way, however, it is actually not far.
With the physical fitness of the people on the Shenzhou Continent, perhaps, in just ten days and a half months, those rebel armies in Qingzhou will reach Huangsha Town.
Ten days and a half months is really a short period of time, especially during the war.
Therefore, Lin Ze has to start preparing war materials now, otherwise, if he waits until the rebels in Qingzhou arrive, it will be too late.
These rebels in Qingzhou are composed of ordinary people, but after all, they have experienced several large-scale bloody battles, and many of these ordinary people have completed the transformation from ordinary people to cold-blooded soldiers, and their combat effectiveness has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Otherwise, no matter how useless those officers and troops in Qingzhou are, no matter how low their combat effectiveness is, it is impossible to lose in the hands of these rebels in Qingzhou one after another, and now even Qingzhou is occupied by the rebels.
From this, it can be seen that the strength of those rebels in Qingzhou has been greatly improved, and they can be regarded as a real army.
If you fight an army, you have to have another army!
