Chapter 104: Outer Mongolia (4)
Taking advantage of Timur's efforts to recover his subordinates, Zhao Yun turned Chechen Khan Urg around a few times. Now that we're going to develop this place well, the defense here is definitely going to be rebuilt.
After checking the map and the information of the Chechen Khan, I had a basic understanding of it, the land under the jurisdiction of the Chechen Khan bordered Russia to the north, the three eastern provinces to the east, and the Chahar of China to the southeast.
Most of the people living here are the Harakha Mongols, and the northern part is inhabited by the Buriyat Mongols.
The city was built on the river beach on the north bank of the Khulun River, with a valley to the east, which was the capital of Chechen Khan IV, a key place for transportation, extending in all directions, 331 kilometers away from Kulen, Zhao Yun estimated that he should be able to reach it in a day when he counted the detour and crossing the river.
The surrounding terrain slopes from west to east, with rivers and valleys of the Kruren, Onen and Ulez rivers in the east, and forests in the west and plains gradually forming in the east. The territory is rich in water resources, with more than 70 large and small rivers.
Zhao Yun saw that the average temperature in January reached -20 °C, the average temperature in July reached +20 °C, and the average annual precipitation was 200-3000 mm.
And although the environment of this era is not as bad as the destruction of later generations, but relying on the Gobi Desert, you don't expect it to be any better, the forest area is less than 10%, and the rest are grasslands and deserts. Fortunately, the data shows that the territory is rich in wildlife resources, including smoke crystal, gold, lead, fluorite, coal, steel, etc.
"In the future, I can't do without the supply of materials from Jiangnan!" Zhao Yun sighed.
By the time Zhao Yun returned to the city, Timur had already received more than forty Mongolian nobles.
Due to the fact that Zhao Yun retained the Chechen Khan and Timur was a Mongol at the same time, the local Mongol nobles did not resist much, so didn't they change their responsibilities? Moreover, Timur's failure to abandon the Chechen Khan also made many people show kindness to his kindness, and the generals of various tribes were shocked that Zhao Yun had cured Dakou Achi. Such a serious injury is usually waiting for death, Zhao Yun's monks have healed him, who of these generals dares to guarantee that he will not go to the battlefield in the future and will not be injured. So for my own sake, I don't have much opinion.
When Timur saw Zhao Yun coming in, he drove all the Mongol nobles out, let Zhao Yun sit on the top, and handed the documents that had just been sent by the various tribes.
Zhao Yun glanced at it and threw it to him again, "It's all Manchu and Mongolian, I don't know any of them, so you should read them!" ”
"Yes, master! Each tribe has more than 1.2 million heads (animals) of horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, of which 61% are sheep, 14.4% are goats, 13.8% are cattle, 10.2% are horses, and 0.6% are camels. Specialties include horses (running type**) from the Galhi region, which is famous throughout the country. There are more than 20,000 hectares of cultivated land, mainly growing cereals, potatoes and vegetables, with an annual output of about 10,000 tons of cereals and 400,000 tons of potatoes. Timur knew that Zhao Yun didn't want to listen to the figures of the various ministries, so he directly reported a general ledger.
"And arable land?" What Zhao Yun was most surprised about was that there was still arable land here. Are the Mongols nomads? There are many deserts around, and it is not easy to farm! However, it is not easy for these crops to supply this army of 10,000 people!
"Look at this picture!" Zhao Yun took out the sketch of Chechen Khan Urge that he drew today.
"I'm going to do a major operation on the walls of this place, and of course the construction is done by the farmers in the camp, and you just have to take care of their progress.
First of all, the original city wall was built on the basis of further study, and the stone stacks were built around the original building. At a distance of about 500 meters from this stone battlement, these are built with Chinese stone battlements, which is the most important defensive ring of the city.
Finally, a third stone battlement was to be built in the outermost area, which would enclose an airfield and an open space for 5,000 tents. You can see how big it is.
Forty towers were built in the inner ring, eighty in the second ring, and eighty in the third.
There are also twenty castles, each of which has its own location. The rest of the camp buildings you see need to be built. However, the temple must be built a lot, and you must control it here.
The gates of the city and others will be torn down and rebuilt, and a triple gate will be built, and our gates will be fenced with iron fences, and you will seal the middle with planks.
In the inner circle, you build 1,000 new tents, in the third circle, you build 5,000 new tents, and renovate all the old buildings in the city. ”
"Yes, master!" Timur said respectfully.
"There is also arable land, there are many people in Jiangnan, 400 yuan is the limit, no matter how much I can't look at, you don't have such doubts here, so this is also a farm, and the food resources can be self-satisfied, and the extra ones will be stored first, and I will find a way to find a way in Jiangnan for timber resources!" Zhao Yun was worried about the sharp decline in resources now, but he also knew that now was the stage of laying the foundation, and if he didn't fight in the future, he wouldn't be so powerful! However, for the time being, it is necessary to continue the riots, because Zhao Yun is already preparing for the second and third legions.
Leaving 10,000 cavalry for Timur, Zhao Yun put away 90,000 rioters and prepared to return to Jiangnan.
Timur has already subdued fierce generals such as Jiya Saiyin and Dakou Achi on the surface, but the matter here will not be handled well in a few months, and the west is too close to Kulen, and Lao Maozi will kill him at any time.
There are more than 10,000 people here, and the safety is still somewhat guaranteed, so the next thing is to rely on materials to smash the hearts of the people of the Chechen Ministry. It was almost September, and the various tribes on the steppe had begun to raise livestock to store fat for the animals, and a large number of people had to be sent to prepare hay for the animals to spend the winter. It is also necessary for all tribes to send people to recognize Timur's power, although it is in the name of the subordinates of the Chechen Khan, but the propaganda of strength must also be in place. Otherwise, when the army goes out in the future, some people will use their brains.
A group of prisoners transported from Langxi were also handed over to Timur, and the horse bandits such as the money leopard were among them with large iron chains, and Zhao Yun asked Timur to organize people to go to Chahar and Suiyuan to recruit some people, and prepare to build the second army shelf.
Moreover, European intelligence shows that many White Russian nobles fled to China through Guò Outer Mongolia and the three eastern provinces, and gathered many people in the northern provinces.
The captured commander of the Rokossovsky regiment is now the commander of the Russian cavalry in the Outer Mongolia camp, and his subordinates have also gathered five or six hundred Russians, Zhao Yun is ready to give them some time to enter Russia to find the missing Russian crown prince, and now this news is spreading in Russia.
Although Zhao Yun knew that there would be no restoration of the Russian royal family in later generations, how could he know if there was a drama without looking for it? And Zhao Yun also had the idea of finding a close relative of the royal family and cloning a crown prince with his blood.
So you still have to look for it, and the three barons in Russia will do their best in this matter. The skill of the dragon is not unique to China, and there are many such people in foreign countries.
In addition, there was another thing that was also the reason why Zhao Yun hurried back, Zhao Yun received a message from Old Man Deng a few days ago.
I worked hard to get that old man Deng out, and this guy is now on a hunger strike again.
"This dead old man suffered a loss, and now no one believes it!" Zhao Yun muttered.
Thinking about it, I was stabbed in the back by the closest person around me, and I am afraid that the most painful thing is not the wound but the heart. And Timur will deal with everything here, and he is an idler here, so Zhao Yun hurried back to Jiangnan.
"Brother! I want to kill you! "Just returned to the hut outside Yixing County, just hearing the voice, Ye Yan's mind quickly appeared this person's name, Wang Yougui! This guy is not only his sworn brother, but also a well-known and often defeated general, as if he has not won a battle in his hands. Even if it is a battle that is nine times out of ten, it is the only instability to him. But he still seems to be fine, eating, drinking and having fun as usual, I don't know what his father and his cousin who is the county magistrate are thinking, and the team of the two of them is still handed over to him, the second ancestor.
Although this brother is shameless, Zhao Yun still remembers his previous support for himself.
"Thank you, Brother Wang! But aren't you being watched? Why did you get to my little brother? "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Zhao Yun is very helpless about this self-acquaintance, not because he has no taste, but because the two are completely different in the choice of beauties.
Confirming that Zhao Yun did not turn his face and deny people as soon as he became an official, he was still Zhao Yun, the arms dealer in the ravine and ravine, Wang Yougui didn't care about anything, and shouted: "Brother! Brother, I also have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! As soon as he got down to business, Wang Yougui immediately put on a bitter gourd face.
Zhao Yun didn't look at him and began to pack his luggage, "Hey! Brother, don't do this? Seeing that Zhao Yun ignored him, Wang Yougui immediately stared at him cheekily.
Zhao Yun still didn't squeak, "Brother! Brother, I got the information, you are a big celebrity now, I told the people who guarded me that they came to you to buy arms, and they immediately let me go. ”
"Getting to the point!" Zhao Yun knows what's wrong with this guy! Definitely for guns!
Sure enough, "Brother, brother, I did a lot of work for you last time, but now I want money, no money, no guns!" Wang Yougui said with a sad cry.
"So what!" Zhao Yun stopped what he was doing, glared at him and asked.
Seeing Zhao Yun talking to him, Wang Yougui immediately put on an expression that he thought that his smile was better than a flower, "So I hope that my brother will borrow my brother to light a gun and money!" ”
"Guns and money? No! When Zhao Yun heard this, he refused with a straight face. Zhao Yun had seen Wang Yougui and Wang Dashao fight, and he didn't lose his armor and suffer heavy losses. Even in this attack on Yao Village, there were few people in the town, and Wang Dashao still paid the price of more than 20 people being injured and all the machine gun bullets were exhausted.
It's no problem to lend him money to pick up girls, it is estimated that he can still make money, and he still forgets about fighting! It seems that he has paid every time so far, just pay for it, Zhao Yun is not distressed, but if the weapon falls into the hands of the enemy, it is an enemy, and the nature is completely different.
"Just borrow a little, just a little!" If Wang Dashao dies like this, then it is not Wang Dashao.
Zhao Yun was also surprised, "Isn't your father very rich?" Why doesn't the old man support it! ”
This guy is a rich second generation, Zhao Yun still understands. It can't be said that you are idle all day, but you don't do less than what the rich and young should do.
Of course, in addition to the things in Shanghai, it is also common to flirt with maids at home, but it is also your willingness, there are no vicious incidents, and it does not belong to the category of evil and youth. said that he was good and Zhao Yun believed it, but when he said that he had no money, Zhao Yun still didn't believe it! In order to chase the celebrities in Shanghai, this guy ate how many oceans he ate in one meal, and Zhao Yun still remembers it vividly.
