Chapter 974: The pace of war has not stopped

In the middle of Dongzhou, Bai Zichen began a strategic offensive, with more than 100,000 dragoons as the vanguard, and began to lead the enemy to attack, weakening the enemy layer by layer, and the three million new troops walked out of various defensive strongholds, forming a huge battle formation, and advancing towards the demon army.

Bai Zichen decided to defeat the demon clan and defeat their main force in one fell swoop, so he slightly modified the tactics, the shield soldiers and pikemen cooperated to form three offensive defenses, advancing layer by layer, followed by a huge number of archers, behind the archers was a traditional battle formation, and on both sides of the battle array were dozens of loaded swarms.

A complete formation requires 30,000 people, and there are a hundred such formations on the entire front, and in the sky above this formation commanded by Bai Zichen himself, there are also twenty warships to assist.

At this time, the Dongzhou Demon Clan knew the strength of the monk army, and many times they rushed into battle and ended in failure, in the face of the strength of the monk army, the Dongzhou Demon Clan had a feeling that it was difficult to swallow.

They quickly retreated to a mountainous area, which was so narrow that it could not even drop 30,000 people at a time, and the skinny monsters could hide in the forest and sneak attack, which was a great threat to the army of monks.

However, it is obvious that the Dongzhou Demon Clan still has not been beaten by the tactics of the Nanzhou monks, Bai Zichen ordered the troops to be stationed in the mountain pass to build a defensive line, and at the same time came down to collect fire materials and dispatch monks who practiced fire law.

Five days later, Bai Zichen sent elite men and horses into the mountains to set fires, and for a time thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky, and the line of fire was thousands of miles long, and quickly spread to the south in the monk's spell.

The demon beasts hidden in the mountains were forced out one after another, and the demon beasts were in chaos, Bai Zichen took the opportunity to order a raid by warships, which made the demon beast army even more chaotic, and the demon beasts hurriedly retreated to the south.

Bai Zichen used the flying boat to carry the dragoon army across the line of fire, and the cavalry took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and the demon beast army was defeated, with countless casualties, and retreated thousands of miles before reorganizing the defense line, and at this time, the new army under Bai Zichen had passed through the mountains and set up a defense line in the Lingshan Mountain behind the line of fire, and the monks of Dongzhou and Beizhou followed closely.

Bai Zichen chased the demon beast army all the way, pushed south, and did not stop and turn to the defense until the combat materials were almost consumed, waiting for the transportation of war materials in the rear.

At the same time, in the northern part of Dongzhou, the mines that were originally abandoned by the monks of Dongzhou were restored one by one, and Wei Lin, the vice president of Xuanhuang Academy, who sat in the rear, presided over the restoration.

The reproduction of minerals occupies a large amount of labor in Dongzhou, but for the sake of the overall situation of Dongzhou, Wei Lin must also do this, there is not enough interest, why should Lin Xiao send a large army to help Dongzhou recover the territory.

Among the many mines, Lin Xiao naturally values the Xuanjing mine the most, which is not only the currency of the immortal cultivation world, but also the most useful basic resource.

The Yongnian Mountain Xuanjing Mine was originally a super-large Xuanjing mine in Dongzhou, which had been mined by the Xuanhuang Academy for hundreds of years and had not been hollowed out, but now the ownership has become the People's Alliance, Lin Xiao sent his henchmen to supervise the work here, and Dongzhou mobilized 200,000 mortal Qingzhuang and 30,000 immortal cultivators to act as miners.

"The miners' wages will be settled every seven days, this is the wages of the miners in Dongzhou, Vice President Weilin, I hope you can continue to pay the wages instead of diverting them for other purposes, the treatment of workers is really too bad, you must improve the treatment of workers"

Zhang Suilin, a monk from Nanzhou, said to Wei Lin, he is a disciple of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and his ancestor is the first Zhang Mingtang of the Heavenly Saint Sect, there is this relationship, Zhang Suilin is deeply trusted by Lin Xiao, and since the beginning of the Middle-earth Civil War, he has been working with Lin Xiao, similar to the previous Bu Yunshuang, but Bu Yunshuang went to lead the troops, and he was repeatedly entrusted by Lin Xiao with important tasks and sent to work in various places.

"Zhang Daoyou, but your requirements are too high, if you don't force the miners, they won't be able to realize their potential at all, and they won't work when they get the money."

"You are wrong, the original lesson of Middle-earth should know that strong pressure and cruel methods will make the efficiency of workers go underground, but the work will inevitably be negligent, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of accidents, so that a large number of workers die, and even strike, into a vicious circle.

The performance model has been experienced in Nanzhou for hundreds of years, you can also learn this set of management measures, if Vice Dean Wei Lin doesn't mind, I can personally train your management and manage while working."

Zhang Suilin replied that the management method adopted by Weilin is still a very traditional management method, relying on high pressure, whips, deductions of wages and foremen to manage the labor team, which makes Zhang Suilin from Nanzhou very disdainful, this management level is really very low.

Wei Lin did not refuse, and even wanted to hand over the affairs of the entire mine to Zhang Suilin, anyway, in this way, even if he couldn't complete the task at that time, he couldn't blame him, and he could also take a break to do the affairs of Xuanhuang Academy, killing two birds with one stone.

So under this tacit understanding, Zhang Suilin actually controlled the power of the Yongnian Mountain mine, and after Zhang Suilin reported to Bai Zichen, he transferred 3,000 monks from the fortress and replaced the guards of the mine.

With military force in hand, Zhang Suilin began to reform Yongnian Mountain in a big way, he first exempted some disgruntled management and foremen in public, and then greatly improved the treatment of workers, the blood and flesh of demon beasts obtained on the battlefield are countless, Zhang Suilin transferred a large number of demon beast flesh and blood, whether it is a monk or mortal, he can eat it at will.

In addition, he reorganized the logistics team, improved the accommodation conditions of the miners, including the unlimited provision of hot water, etc., and he also gave daily training to the management, let them suspend whipping and other measures, reorganized all the miners, set production tasks for them, and once the assigned tasks were exceeded, they would be rewarded and rewarded.

At the same time, they also sent people to improve their tools, reorganize the rules of mining, popularize safety knowledge, etc., after more than a month of reform, the production efficiency of Yongnian Mountain began to soar, and millions of Xuanjing can be produced every day.

The success of Yongnian Mountain's reform greatly encouraged Zhang Suilin's courage, and then he sent the backbone of Yongnian Mountain to other mines to carry out reforms and copy the model of Yongnian Mountain.

·······

Qingyang City in the Central Continent, after Lin Xiao set up the headquarters of the Terran Alliance, Qingyang City has prospered rapidly, and the heads of many forces who come and go, the most concerned is the cross-continent teleportation array between Qingyang City and Dongzhou, they have figured out the law, every time a monk from Dongzhou comes over, there are resources to teleport over.

"Master, this is Zhang Suilin's report in Dongzhou, his reform has been a great success, the daily production of Xuanjing by a mineral in Yongnian Mountain is about three million, and the efficiency is not known how many times that those mines in Zhongzhou, once every seven days, it can provide about 20 million Xuanjing.

In addition, Bai Zichen's side also won, although he did not eliminate the main force of the Dongzhou Demon Clan, but the battle line was pushed to the original Haoyang Sect area, and two-thirds of the territory of the Dongzhou Human Race was recovered, and the demon beast materials were continuously sent."

Li Muxue was in the alliance and read a report to Lin Xiao and asked Lin Xiao to respond.

"Zhang Suilin has done a good job, the first batch of 10% of the rewards for the merits of the various forces in Central Continent and the death benefits are almost over, and the mood of the various sects has also stabilized."

"Almost, it's mainly a matter of confidence, the army has won battles in Dongzhou, and all kinds of loot are constantly being sent, so everyone has confidence in the alliance, so there will be no trouble, and no one will be instigated"

Li Muxue nodded, before this, there were very dangerous signs in Zhongzhou, and some people were inciting these small forces to break away from the Terran Alliance, but Lin Xiao did not suppress it, but took the means of speeding up the strategy of Dongzhou, and with the distribution of rewards and pensions, all kinds of problems were solved.

"Lin Yaohui's opinion is not very big?"

"Yes, the monks sent by Dongzhou are either fighting or in the mines, accounting for almost ninety percent, and more than half of the mortals are young and strong, and their recovery work is very slow, and there are great opinions."

"Then start recruiting casual cultivators to mine in the past, Dongzhou will also prosper rapidly, let these casual cultivators form free miners, there will be business with people, and the society will soon be stable and prosperous."

"Master wants to sell Dongzhou's territory as well?"

Li Muxue immediately grasped the essence of Lin Xiao's thoughts, among Lin Xiao's series of practices, the fastest income is actually not mining, but selling land, harvesting the resources accumulated for many years.

Now that the scattered cultivators with a little strength in Central Continent have become small forces, and there is not much oil and water, Lin Xiao estimates that they are cultivating a wealthy family in casual cultivation.

"Almost, whether it is a monk or a mortal, there is a gap between each other, as long as we provide a platform, there will be smart and powerful people who will quickly stand out and occupy more wealth, and we have the resources that we are eager for and can't get, so naturally we can easily make their profits, and when the mine is almost dug up, we can also sell a large number of spiritual mountains to these leaders of casual cultivation, and it is estimated that we will be able to fill the pit in Zhongzhou at that time."

"Awesome, worthy of my master"

"Don't be a sycophant, I'm going back to Nanzhou in a few days, is there a problem with handing it over to you here?"

"Of course it's no problem, I don't think the three sects of Kunlun dare to blow up with you now."

"Everyone is licking their wounds, they won't make big moves recently, but there are a lot of small means, you have to remember, now we must act in a dignified manner, and we can't be caught"

"I know, Master, what are you doing back to Nanzhou, isn't Nanzhou very good?"

"It's very good, Wanjun is doing a good job, I'm going to solve Luo Xinghai's problem, I can't stop the war now"

"Ah, why, isn't it time to recuperate?"

"You don't understand, the contradictions within the immortal cultivation world are very deep, they were covered up by the war before, if the war stops, these contradictions will be highlighted again, I don't have the ability to solve these contradictions now, so I must continue to fight, look for opportunities in the war, create opportunities, try to solve these contradictions, even if it can't be solved, I have to drag it out first."

Lin Xiao shook his head, Nanzhou seems to be peaceful, but there are also great contradictions, Lin Xiao must drag these things and let everyone's energy focus on the war in order to stabilize the situation.
