The elite army plus the royal army directly led by Ye Qinglin looked like there were 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they were all pieced together, and it was easy to make a surprise attack, but in front of veterans like Zhang Xiong, Zhang Jun and Kong Peng, it was really difficult to bargain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At present, they can only take advantage of the fact that the rebels are unable to fully control the situation of the Pinglu Great Oasis, and the Pinglu Great Oasis is separated from the vast sand sea of Montenegro by 2,000 miles.

Chen Hai still hoped to lure the rebels across the vast sand sea to attack, and only by waiting for work on their side could they have a greater chance of victory.

Otherwise, even if the situation here settles down first, it is necessary to cultivate and support the forces to resist the Zhang rebels within the Pinglu Oasis, and after having a certain certainty, then lead 30,000 or 40,000 elites to directly insert into the Pinglu Oasis to have a chance to fight against Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels.

Now we still have to do some basic operations.

In the past, Chen Hai wanted to send several survey teams to survey all the underground rock formations near Montenegro to verify his speculation, which originally took two or three years to do, but at this time, he had Ge Xuanqiao, who had cultivated for the late stage of the Dao Dan Realm, and many things were simple.

Chen Hai did not hold any position in the newly established Elite Protectorate, and he also wanted to get out and verify his speculation as soon as possible.

Once it is verified that the sand sea near Montenegro is a large rock formation that prevents the infiltration of the stream, they will be able to start the work of diverting the river this year, and the area of the oasis near Montenegro will gradually expand next year.

This is the foundation for the Elite Protectorate to truly take root in the depths of the Sand Sea and implement the government military system.

In the later period, even if he helped the Ye clan successfully restore the country, it would be impossible for Ye Qinglin to carve a piece of water and grass land within the Pinglu Great Oasis to gain a foothold in the Elite Capital Protectorate.

Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao spent nearly two months exploring the sand sea around Montenegro, and finally confirmed that the area around Montenegro was actually a whole concave black sandstone layer, and the depth of the rock layer was between three and fifty meters.

If you remove all the sand layers covering the rock layers, you will find that the area around Montenegro is like a shallow trough basin surrounded by mountains, and there are more than a dozen oases on the periphery, which happens to be the main peak of the annular mountain range on the periphery of the shallow trough basin.

Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao returned to Baishiyu with such a conclusion, in addition to Dong Ning and Ran Hu, Han Qingyuan, Han Jian, Guo Hongju and others who wanted to lead their people to take root in this place were even more excited, they could all understand the significance of this verification at this moment, but they were still very confused in their hearts: "This thing is not very difficult to do, why has no one thought of doing this before, except for the state envoy, no one has thought of doing this before?"

Chen Hai smiled slightly, not wanting to explain anything.

The civilian society in Yanzhou is essentially an agricultural civilization, and in the depths of the Jinzhou desert, the combination of animal husbandry and farming, the civilization level of the civilian society is even lower than that of Yanzhou.

It is this huge gap that restricts the thinking of many people.

After verifying that the underground of Montenegro is indeed a trough rock formation, what to do next is a logical thing.

The Elite Capital Protectorate still had to move back to Montenegro, and the simple walled city built in Baishiyu was handed over to the Xiqiang royal army led by Ye Qinglin to garrison, so that more remnants of the Ye clan who fled north could be incorporated nearby.

In the next step, in addition to diverting the broken streams and lakes formed by springs to the inner side of Montenegro step by step in the peripheral oasis, it is also necessary to find water veins near Montenegro, dig through the rock formations to dig more spring wells, and speed up the process of water storage in shallow trough rock formations, so as to breed larger-scale plants and trees as soon as possible.

After two months of discussion and research, the Elite Metropolitan Protectorate also came up with a plan for the implementation of the government military system that everyone agreed.

On the basis of many tribes, the Elite Protectorate plans to set up 50 military palaces that integrate soldiers and farmers, soldiers and herdsmen.

In addition to the 12 military palaces in Moyue Lake and the 24 military palaces in Montenegro, the Jingjue Capital Protectorate also set up three to five military offices in the green states such as Jinxiangling, Black Falcon Cliff, and Gushu Mountain, striving to manage the 50 military palaces in the fastest possible time.

Each military government has 200 to 500 guards, and in addition to farming and animal husbandry in peacetime, training in leisure time, and assembling in wartime, they are also responsible for building military government outposts; at the same time, Dong Ning also plans to distribute 50 black-feathered giant vultures and corresponding vulture soldiers to each military palace.

In doing so, on the one hand, it is to strengthen the liaison between the Zhujichong Mansion and the Elite Capital Protectorate.

After all, only a ferocious spirit bird like the Black-Feathered Giant Vulture could quickly move two or three thousand catties of goods within a range of more than a thousand miles, and it could also monitor the enemy situation in the depths of the desert, all of which would help strengthen the control of the Elite Protectorate over its subordinate Zhichong Mansion.

At the same time, it is also the cost of feeding each black-feathered giant vulture to the military government below, so that the black-feathered giant vulture can hunt prey on its own in the depths of the desert on a larger scale.

Otherwise, a hundred black-feathered giant vultures would be able to eat the Elite Capital Protectorate.

Of course, the Elite Protectorate will also provide support for the following in terms of elixir, armor, and combat weapons.

After the implementation of the military system, the elite capital protectorate was able to organize more than 23,000 guards, while the standing soldiers and horses of the elite capital protectorate were controlled to less than 5,000 people.

In this way, in addition to the abundant labor force for farming and water conservancy transformation, even if there is still a shortage of grain and grass consumed by the Jingjue Capital Protectorate, it is not as terrifying as before.

The more than 1,000 craftsmen who were previously recruited from Zhuzhai, except for a small amount of distribution to various military governments to ensure that the military governments have a certain capacity for agricultural tools, armor repair, sentry fortress construction and water conservancy construction, most of them are concentrated in Montenegro City, and they are organized as the Young Craftsmen's Mansion directly led by the Elite Capital Protector Mansion.

It is impossible for the Elite Protectorate to rely on Hexi's aid indefinitely, and the agricultural and animal husbandry output of Moyue Lake and Montenegro is too limited, so they can only find ways to make up for the gap in terms of minerals and manufacturing.

Chen Hai cleaned many thieves' villages, and seized more than 5,000 catties of Xuanti fine iron before and after, which is not accidental, in fact, in the black sandstone layer of Black Mountain and Moyue Lake, it is rich in black sand fine gold and Xuanti fine iron.

In addition to forcing them to build armor and cities, the horse thieves captured so many slaves for the purpose of mining and smelting black sand pure gold and Xuanti fine iron from the ore veins.

In places such as Montenegro and Moyue Lake, there are still a few ore veins that can produce Xuanti refined iron, but in the past, the process of smelting Xuanti refined iron in the thieves' village was too backward, and the output was very limited, so Dong Ning planned to invite two craftsmen from Juquanling to come over.

If Montenegro can refine five or six thousand catties of Xuanti fine iron every year, it will be able to make up for a large shortfall.

"And I want you to write a letter to Juquanling to mention this matter......

After Guo Hongju and the others discussed the matter and left, Dong Ning said to Chen Hai.

"If you write to Zhou Jingyuan and Zhao Wuregret, they will not reject you," Chen Hai said with a smile, "This is not the time to return to Juquanling, and there is no need to write a letter, so as not to cause unnecessary interference to them." ”

"What kind of person are you, why don't you want to stay and help me?" Dong Ning looked at Chen Hai's face fixedly, resisting the urge to reach out and touch the scars on his face.

"Whether it is the Ye clan or the people of the Xiqiang Kingdom, they all need a Lady of Excellence who can be loyal to this land, only such a Lady of Perfection will be worthy of their allegiance or fighting side by side, what they are looking forward to is not a Lady of Perfection who has been reduced to a vassal of the Dong clan or others, this is the key for me to be the 'envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom', but I must not serve in the Absolute Capital Protectorate," Chen Hai said with a smile, "Besides, even without me, you have done a good job." ”

"There is no one to help, and I can only grit my teeth and persevere. Dong Ning said without resentment.

Chen Hai also smiled in his heart, now there are many people talking, some secrets, some things have to find a chance to tell Dong Ning alone.

**************************

Dong Ning wanted to preside over many matters related to the relocation of the Elite Capital Protectorate and the Elite Army to Montenegro City, and the Montenegrin City at this time was too simple, and it would continue to be built later, but Chen Hai would not pay attention to these trivial affairs, and returned to Montenegro to find Ning Chan'er in advance.

Ge Xuanqiao was in charge of Baishiyu at this time, and Ge Xuanqiao was also the only person who could make Ning Chan'er jealous.

Afraid of being seen through by Ge Xuanqiao, in addition to not being able to escape the necessary contact, Ning Chan'er would rather stay away from Baishiyu, and during this time she returned to Montenegro alone, and on the northern slope of Montenegro, borrowed a few caves to open up the cave she cultivated in the depths of the desert. During this time, Chen Hai and Ge Xuanqiao traveled all over the sand sea near Montenegro, while Ning Chan'er basically stayed there to cultivate and study pills.

As soon as Chen Hai stepped into the barren back mountain of Black Mountain, he faintly heard a terrible wail coming from the belly of the mountain, and flew to the front of Ning Chan'er's cave, and the wailing from the belly of the mountain became clearer and clearer, knowing that Ning Chan'er was testing the medicine with Zhou Da's other captives.

He was already ruthless enough, and when he heard this scream, he hesitated and felt panicked.

Han Cainiang's daughter Zhao Ying was standing in front of the cave with a pale face, she couldn't bear to see Zhou Da and the other captives let Ning Chan'er take it over to test the medicine, but this kind of almost heart-rending scream was also a kind of torture when it reached her ears.

"If you don't want to hear this call, I'll pass you on a meditation posture!" Chen Hai smiled, stretched out his finger on Zhao Ying's bright forehead, and directly condensed the secret form of meditation momentum into her divine consciousness, turning it into a picture scroll, and penetrating the depths of her mind from the center of her eyebrows.

Zhao Ying had just begun to follow Ning Chan'er to build a foundation and cultivate, and Chen Hai had smashed the Meditation Momentum Secret Diagram into the depths of her mind, which could only be condensed for a very short time and would disappear in a short period of time.

After all, Zhao Ying is not a powerhouse in the Knowing Realm, she can lock this secret picture scroll with hidden true meaning into the sea of knowledge forever, she can't remember too much in such a short time, but it is much better than others to teach her one hand and one foot, and the follow-up depends more on her own understanding.

"Thank you, envoy......" Zhao Ying murmured, not daring to look into Chen Hai's eyes.

It stands to reason that she and her mother are both in front of this person's woman, not to mention that her mother has an unclear relationship with this person, and she will not know how to deal with this person for a while.

Chen Hai didn't expect this matter to go up, seeing that in just two or three months, Zhao Ying had already opened up a Xuan Vein, which could be regarded as laying a foundation for future cultivation, and good qualifications were on the one hand, Ning Chan'er was likely to test her medicine.
