Chapter 286: A New Goal for Derry City

After Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin handed over the task of pursuit to Major Du, he stayed behind to seriously deal with the affairs of taking over the city of Delhi.

This is the first time that a large city has been taken over, and it needs to be treated well, and strive to set a model for similar actions in the future.

In those days, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin walked around the city of Delhi with his guards.

This is one of the big cities with a long history in the Tianzhu area...... But in his opinion, the buildings in the city, except for the mosque and the sultan's palace, are too dilapidated.

Later, he learned that after the Turkic sultan occupied this place a hundred years ago, only these two buildings were built!

When Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin passed by the mosque, he could still hear the sound of prayer inside.

It seems that, with the exception of the Sultan and his main nobles, the rest of the believers did not flee with them.

Earlier, his Marburi officers had suggested that the mosques should be demolished and their worshippers expelled.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin smiled and said, "They have believed for hundreds of years, even if you can demolish the temple, can you still demolish the temple in their hearts?"

We don't do thankless things...... It doesn't matter what they believe in, as long as they can work hard and earn their own living.

You haven't been to Badaohe City...... It's ten times bigger than here, and there are temples of all religions, and all kinds of believers get along well.

Just follow our rules...... Let's not be nosy.

Don't talk about religion in the future, the key question is whether you want to follow the rules...... If someone uses religion or something to not abide by it, and wants to get some big gains, then they are just looking for death, find the culprit and deal with it! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin's remarks temporarily established the religious status in the northern part of the Tianzhu Continent.

After walking a long way, he gave up the idea of renovating the city of Delhi, which has a radius of more than ten kilometers, some places have city walls, some places do not, even if there are some city defenses, it is the same as not...... No wonder the Delhi Sultan chose to flee directly.

It's so dilapidated that it will have to be rebuilt like the new business district of Marbury, and tinkering is not at all.

The streets of Delhi are narrow, sewage is overflowing, and the air is always filled with the smell of decay...... It's January, but what would it be like in the summer?!

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin saw that although the civilians in Derry City were ragged, yellow and hungry, all of them had a happy look on their faces...... Whether they saw the soldiers of the Marbury Army or the soldiers of the Federal Empire, they all bowed down to show their respect.

The city of Derry was directly under military control, and of course some policies were announced in favor of the civilian population, and it can be seen that they are still satisfied with it.

Some big-businessmen who seem to be relatively wealthy have been tightly closing their "mansions" for fear of being robbed.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin doesn't pay attention to such people at all, and they will definitely rush to associate with you in the future.

He emptied the warehouses of the Delhi Sultan and other nobles, leaving aside some supplies for military supplies, and distributed the rest to the commoners in the name of recruiting laborers.

The city of Derry has started a clean-up campaign to remove garbage and unclog the stinking gutters...... It is also necessary to fill up some stinky water bubbles directly, so as to save mosquitoes when summer comes.

Such laborers will receive the corresponding grain and cotton and linen.

The people here are good, the Sultan and other nobles have fled for two days, and no one dares to touch their supplies...... Until the army that went north got a advantage.

The civilians of Derry never seemed to have been treated with such kindness, and they worked very seriously and were willing to contribute.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin is more satisfied that there are enough types of craftsmen here, and the level is not bad.

In his spare time, he also found time to look at the famous Delhi Iron Pillar.

In front of the Mahhalori Temple, near the city of Delhi, stands a huge iron pillar that was supposedly cast seven or eight hundred years ago.

This iron pillar is 6.7 meters high and about 1.37 meters in diameter, made of wrought iron, solid, and has an antique decorative pattern at the top.

It is said that this iron pillar was cast in honor of King Chandra.

After Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin circled around the iron pillar a few times, he felt quite magical, to say that this big iron pillar was the most prone to rust...... Ordinary cast iron, needless to say seven or eight hundred years, will be corroded in a few decades!

But this guy has gone through countless winds and rains, and there is still no trace of rust!

The Confederation Empire has not yet found an effective way to prevent iron from rusting...... The direct-fire iron cannons of the Imperial Army need to be maintained with oil at all times, and even the large iron pot used in the army canteen may rust at any time!

Maybe the craftsmen of Tianzhu have already mastered the technology of smelting stainless iron?

He also went to the largest blacksmith shop in Delhi to inquire about it, but they couldn't figure it out at all...... Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin thought that they were not deceiving themselves, and he saw that they did not even know how to use coal, let alone coke, but only charcoal...... It's no wonder that trees are rarely seen outside of Delhi.

It can only be said that this technique was later lost......

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin immediately asked his subordinates to find a way to send this iron pillar back to the new business district of Marbury, and then back to Liuqiu Island...... He believed there must be a way to figure out the cause of the stainless steel.

It would be great if there was a way to make future cast iron devices not rust!

This is perhaps more important than shipping back the gold.

The Brahmin high-caste people in the temple of Mahhalori happily agreed to Lieutenant Colonel Wang's request...... The iron pillar is not an artifact, but only a memorial to the king of the world.

When the Brahmin people in the temple heard that the iron pillar was to be given to the king of the federal empire, they were very happy when they heard it, and they also said that they would publicize the great deeds of the king of the empire to the followers in the future.

The Tianzhu Sect can now finally raise its eyebrows, and many of the Brahmin high-caste families who were forced to flee south can finally come back openly!

They were finally able to publicly display their idols, and then put on the scriptures and scriptures of the Tianzhu Sect and various manuscripts...... I can't believe it's true.

There are other craftsmen in Delhi who can be used by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin.

The masons, carpenters and stonemasons here are also good at their work...... They also fired bricks of different sizes and pottery with elaborate glazed patterns.

After Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin walked a long way, he knew in his heart that the construction of the new Delhi New Area in the future does not need to transfer personnel and materials from the Marbury New Business District at all, as long as it is planned well, it can be completed completely by its own strength, and it will not affect the construction of the new business district in Marbury.

In a few years, it will be possible to send qualified technicians to support the development and construction of other parts of the Federal Empire.

While he was making his plans, the third group of reinforcements followed their way north to the city of Derry.

He is very happy, this team of military reinforcement will bring valuable military supplies to the army barracks stationed in the new area of Delhi in the future!

President Wu Dapeng also wrote him a handwritten letter.

In the letter, Chairman Wu expressed great satisfaction with the results of their northward operations, and ordered them to focus on pacifying the localities for the time being, not to rush north again to attack the Tatar bandits, and to practice well the techniques and tactics of combining infantry, cavalry, and four-wheeled chariots, and not only to write down their experiences, but also to train a group of middle- and low-ranking officers with actual combat experience.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was very happy to see the end, and President Wu Dapeng also asked him to recruit a group of Aryans to join the army in the Delhi area in the letter!

What does the expansion mean?

His military rank and rank are to be mentioned......
