Chapter Seventy-Four: Women in Charge
With the death of the two brothers Wei Yong and Wei Bing, there was no one who dared to resist in the entire dam village, and under the leadership of Miao Dong (that is, the hundred households who first rebelled against Wei Yong and Wei Bing), 3,000 remnants of the Daxi army and many people surrendered to Sima Yu.

After successfully absorbing the 3,000 remnants of the Great West, Sima Yu did not lead the army to continue eastward and began to camp on the spot, and at the same time appointed Miao Dong as the Sima of the Zhongba Island Garrison Battalion, responsible for selecting 1,000 elite soldiers from the 3,000 remnants of the Great West Army to gradually garrison the Zhongba Island and defend the safety of Zhongba Island.
As for the remaining three villages, Zhongba Village, Yongding Village, and Zhangwan Village, Miao Dong was ordered to send people to persuade them to surrender.
Due to the lack of naval forces in the Qing army, before the expedition to Luzhou, Sima Yu discussed with the generals and selected Zhongba Island, preparing to lay it down as the backup port base of the Luzhou army for this expedition, which could be attacked and defended.
And when Sima Yu personally came to Zhongba Island and saw the situation here, he wanted to build the entire Zhongba Island into a huge naval army camp in Qilin County.
After all, the conditions of the entire Zhongba Island are too superior.
The entire Zhongba Island and the two affiliated islands cover a total area of more than 600 square kilometers, and if it is properly developed, it will not be a problem to support hundreds of thousands of people.
In addition, Zhongba Island is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, adjacent to Luzhou and Yongzhou, once the entire Zhongba Island is built into a naval camp, Sima Yu is equivalent to having a strategic projection base, and the scope of the entire Qilin County will be expanded countless times, and other forces in Luzhou and Yongzhou can be directly attacked from the side and behind.
The only flaw is that Zhongba Island is still a little far away from Qilin County, and it is necessary to select a subordinate who is both loyal and talented to be stationed here.
However, this problem will not exist after Sima Yu unifies Yongzhou, and even Luzhou.
Therefore, the most important thing to occupy the entire Zhongba Island is to build a port.
With a total population of more than 40,000 on the entire Zhongba Island, it is impossible to fully develop the island, and the best way is to concentrate on building the port first.
In the afternoon of the same day, the people sent by Miao Dong to persuade them to surrender had already returned to Daba Village, and they had lost the protection of the army, and the three villages of Zhongba Village, Yongding Village, and Zhangwan Village naturally did not dare to be enemies with Sima Yu anymore, and expressed their willingness to surrender one after another, and began to move to Dama Village according to Sima Yu's wishes.
On the second day, when many villagers in the original dam village woke up from their sleep, they were surprised to find that four more hills had suddenly appeared in a clearing not far from the shore, and a large number of young people on one side of the hill were constantly "moving" and moving them to the open space not far from the original site of the dam village, and groups of soldiers of the guards battalion in armor were constantly patrolling around.
When many villagers came closer to take a closer look, they found that these young people were carrying stones, timber, iron ore and grain.
"There's food!"
"There's food!"
The soldiers under Sima Yu's command did not react much to these sudden appearances, and many villagers in Daba Village were overjoyed, especially when they saw the food that was constantly being brought by the young and strong.
This time, after Luzhou was invaded by the Qing army, the people of the entire Luzhou had already fallen into dire straits, and all the food at home had been looted, and they had not eaten a full meal for a long time.
Now that they suddenly saw the grain piled up like a mountain, these people couldn't help but smile heartily, and their hearts quickly stabilized.
These materials were naturally opened by Sima Yu in the treasury system at night, and he opened a total of 20 people's livelihood houses, and obtained a total of 721W units of wood, stone, grain, and iron ore, and 360.5W copper coins.
These supplies have been supporting the entire Zhongba Island for a long time.
"Where did these supplies come from?"
Located in front of the army camp to the west of Dam Village, Liu Yunling looked at the young men who were constantly transporting supplies in the distance and the many villagers cheering on both sides of the transportation line.
"Of course it's shipped!"
Sima Yu spread his hands when he heard this, and said helplessly.
"Hmph, who believes you!"
Liu Yunling rolled her eyes when she heard this, glanced at Sima Yu charmingly, and snorted.
Regarding Sima Yu's words, Liu Yunling naturally didn't believe it.
With the transport capacity of 200 warships, it is simply impossible to bring such a large number of supplies over in one night.
Besides, she hadn't heard anything at all last night, and she hadn't seen the ships loaded with these supplies in the fleet before.
Moreover, these wood, stones, and iron ore are all of the same size, and even the grain is of similar quality, so I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve this level with ancient technology.
The strangest thing is that there are such a large number of copper coins in it, why do you say you are carrying so many copper coins in the war! Is it to buy the enemy? And these copper coins of yours are not necessarily valuable in the eyes of others, right? So how did all this stuff come about? Liu Yunling was puzzled in her heart.
However, Liu Yunling did not delve into this, and she vaguely understood in her heart that this was probably the biggest support for Sima Yu to gain a foothold in this world.
"Although the resources are available, it will take a lot of effort to take root in this empty land."
Sima Yu was very useful for Liu Yunling's charming white eyes, but he didn't explain, but looked at the busy scene in front of him with a sad face.
The current Qilin City was built step by step by Sima Yu at the beginning, and the sadness and difficulties in it are very clear to Sima Yu, if it were not for the presence of internal affairs masters such as Guoyuan, it would be impossible to rely on Sima Yu alone.
Therefore, if you want to build Dama Village, which is almost a starting point, into a port city and make it a future naval base in Qilin County, just thinking about Sima Yu is already an incomparably headache.
Judging from the current talent pool under Sima Yu, I am afraid that only Guoyuan and Xiang Lang can take on this important task, and they may not be too satisfactory in terms of port construction, and it is estimated that some things will have to be operated by him personally.
However, judging from the current situation in Qilin County, Guoyuan and Xiang Lang can't get out at all.
Now it would be nice to have one more person in the house! Sima Yu couldn't help but hope in his heart.
"What's so hard about that?"
Liu Yunling on the side wrinkled her pretty nose when she heard this, and her face was a little proud.
It's really a royal sister, and she can dress up as Lori! It's so tempting!
At this time, Liu Yunling's arrogant and smug expression was completely different from her usual charming and mature temperament, even Sima Yu, who already had a stunning appearance like Ah Liansang on the side, couldn't bear it.
Ah Liansang and Liu Yunling are both beautiful women, but their temperaments are very different.
Although Ah Liansang is a witch of the Aoshan tribe, she has always been very docile in front of Sima Yu, but she generally will not object to Sima Yu's requests.
And Liu Yunling is different, this beauty from the same era as Sima Yu was obviously a goddess-level figure in her previous life, and she naturally exudes a confident, mature and charming temperament, and has the independent personality characteristics of modern women, making it even more attractive.
Therefore, under the contact, Liu Yunling's feeling for Sima Yu was also stronger.
"What? Don't believe me? ”
Perhaps feeling the heat in Sima Yu's eyes, Liu Yun's pretty face was hot, and she glanced at Sima Yu's eyes, and once again regained her mature and charming temperament.
"Faith! How not to believe it! Can you tell me what you did before? ”
Sima Yu smiled when he heard this, looked at the beauty that Liu Yunling exuded when he blushed a little greedily, and then said with some curiosity.
The unique temperament exuded by Liu Yunling is by no means owned by ordinary people, if she was still in her previous life, Sima Yu probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to contact her at all.
"I built my own company and it's doing pretty well"
Liu Yunling scratched the hair on her forehead and said lightly.
"Then you know how to build this place into my own naval base camp"
Sima Yu heard the words and then said strangely, he knew that what Liu Yunling said was good, and it should be extraordinary.
However, interlacing is like separating mountains, even if Liu Yunling once had a glorious past, it doesn't mean that she is also good at building a land.
"I used to work in the construction industry, although I don't know how to build a port, but there are always people who will understand, I just need to know how to manage them and make them give full play to their abilities," Liu Yunling smiled confidently again when she heard this.
Looking at Liu Yunling's confident smile, Sima Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but be infected by her confidence.
This is a very capable and attractive woman.
"Okay, since you are so confident, why don't I simply set the entire Zhongba Island as a county, appoint you as the county magistrate, and you are responsible for the government affairs of the entire Zhongba Island, and how about you build it into a naval base camp?"
After being stunned for a while, Sima Yu's face was happy, and then he said to Liu Yunling.
"Are you really going to appoint me as the prefectural magistrate?"
Liu Yunling was also stunned when she heard this, and asked softly after looking at Sima Yu.
"Naturally!"
Sima Yu affirmed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will quietly develop this place into my own force behind my back?"
Liu Yunling looked at Sima Yu, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she said with a smile on her face.
"As long as you have the ability, I have nothing to say. Moreover, wouldn't it be more interesting to conquer such a woman? ”
Sima Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and also looked back at Liu Yunlingdao, and for the first time, he directly expressed his ambition for Liu Yunling.
As the saying goes, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, if you don't even have this bit of open-mindedness, how can Sima Yu talk about dominating the world.
Moreover, the world is different from the future generations, and it is difficult for women to make a difference without relying on men.
Therefore, Sima Yu is not worried about what Liu Yunling said.
"It's up to you!"
Boldly meeting Sima Yu's gaze, Liu Yunling smiled softly, looking extremely calm and confident.
However, the flush on her pretty face betrayed her mood at this time.
It is undeniable that Sima Yu is currently the most attractive man Liu Yunling has ever seen in this world, especially the domineering aura that Sima Yu naturally exudes after fusing the heart of a barbarian king.
