Chapter 108: Oil

Ang Shan was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"The war should break out at the end of this year, and Juexin will definitely personally lead the army, and with the wealth in the south, he estimates that he can ask another grandmaster to assist."

"If you're willing to help me, I can share Pugan's power and resources with you."

Juexin is the name of the King of Zhennan, and among the Southern Regions Grandmasters, he also belongs to the stronger kind.

At the beginning, he had a fight with the Sanquan Sect Master Wan Guiliu, and although he was defeated in the end, it was after more than three hundred moves.

And Wan Guiliu and Xue Yiren are listed as one of the top ten grandmasters in Tiannan, and their combat power can be imagined.

Therefore, although this battle is still honored, no one dares to underestimate this seemingly stupid guy.

In the past, Ang Shan had struggled with Shangjue Xin alone, and if there was one more Grandmaster, he would really be at risk of falling.

The northern part of Pugan is mountainous and economically much worse than the southern part of the country, which is close to the sea.

If Angshan gritted his teeth, he could afford to ask a grandmaster to help, but in this way, he would be dragged into an economic war with Juexin, and the two sides would throw money and shake people, and in the end, Beipugan would definitely not be able to afford it first.

So at this moment, he had to make a heavy promise, hoping that Wang Hong, who had a strong background, could help.

Wang Hong shook his head and said, "I am not a Pugan after all, and I am not suitable to participate in your war. ”

"And as long as you send me enough green jade and black oil, you can pay to invite the master to participate in the battle."

"Especially the black oil, I want as much as you can mine over there."

Black oil is oil, and Wang Hong didn't expect that Pugan actually has many large oil fields.

However, oil has little significance in this world, except for being used for lighting at night, and it also has some role when defending the city.

Therefore, after Wang Hong recently accidentally discovered that the so-called black oil was actually oil, he immediately asked people to go to Pugan to buy a large amount.

Ang Shan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he chuckled and said:

"The county of Modai is adjacent to the county of Gongbang to the south, and both counties have a lot of places where black oil is produced."

"Especially in Gongbang in the south, there is a super-large black oil production area, as long as you insert a pipe down, a large amount of black oil will be sprayed up."

"Gongbang's black oil burns with very little black smoke, making it very suitable for indoor use."

"If you are willing to help me defeat Kyawshin, I can cede the counties of Modai and Gongbang to you after the war."

Because of the frequent wars in Tobu Continent, the attitude towards things like land cutting is a bit similar to the Warring States period of the Earth Star.

Most of the people in power don't care, the common people can only accept it numbly, and only the beneficiaries of the cessed country will be indignant about it.

Self-blowing wells?

Light crude oil?

After listening to Ang Shan, Wang Hong was indeed moved.

"That's it, I'll pay for the Blood Shadow Hall Master when I go back, you should know his strength, and when Juexin brings someone over, he will help you."

"Then in terms of soldier equipment, I will prepare you another 500,000 stainless steel long knives and 100,000 sets of full-body armor, so that you should be able to defeat Juexin, right?"

Although Wang Hong and Xue Yiren have not met, they have long heard of his reputation.

This Blood Shadow Hall Master is greedy for money, except for the assassination within Yunzhou, as long as the money is enough, there is nothing he is unwilling to do.

With Wang Hong's intervention, the Yungui War should end soon, and Xue Yiren, who has freed up his hands at that time, will definitely not mind going to Pugan to make a small profit.

Ang Shan nodded and said, "It's best for you to come too, if you can kill Juexin on the spot, we can save a lot of trouble in the future." ”

For this proposal, Wang Hong smiled perfunctorily.

Just kidding, if King Zhennan is a brute bear, then Angshan is a sinister and ruthless old wolf.

If he really beats the bear to death, the old wolf who unites the north and south of Pugan will definitely jump out and eat people!

After sending away Angshan, who kept wanting to reap benefits, Wang Hong had to consider the expansion of the army.

Originally, he wanted to delay for two years before expanding the city guards, but if he took Modai County and Gongbang County, no matter how many more than 10,000 city guards could fight, they would not be able to defend such a large territory.

For other forces in this world, the biggest problem in expanding the army is weapons, grain and grass, and military salaries, and these are not a matter for Wang Hong.

Even if it was the most troublesome firearm in the past, with his current good relationship with the Xia Imperial Court, even if he bought millions of old guns, it would be no problem, and even the people in the military department who were engaged in logistics could wake up with a smile when they slept.

The key factor limiting the size of Lucien's army now is the demographic problem.

After all, the army is not an engineering team, no matter how bold Wang Hong is, he doesn't dare to issue guns to those slaves, and the lessons of the king are there.

"Forget it, when the battle of Huiyungui is over, many temporarily formed legions will be dismissed, and it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people at that time."

Although Yunzhou is much richer than Pugan, it is now on the eastern front with an army of three million from north to south.

As long as the Federation has not gone mad, it will not be possible to maintain an army of this size after the war.

There are a lot of new legions formed by those warriors from all over the world, and if Wang Hong is willing to pay for it, the federation will not object.

Then when these warriors are familiar with Luxi City, the probability of migrating relatives over should not be small, so that the population of the new city can swell again, wouldn't it be beautiful.

The people of the two counties of Modai and Gongbang are all foreigners, and it is quite troublesome to really rule, so they can basically only be dealt with as colonies, and the local garrison can protect the oil fields, and the foundation is naturally placed in Luxin Xicheng.

"Now that the population of the city is more than 200,000, and a large number of merchants come and go, it's time to expand the second ring road!"

Wang Hong stood on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at this increasingly prosperous city, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

In more than a year, from scratch, it is not easy to build such an industrialized city, even if it rests on the earth.

That is, to catch up with the shuttle bus of Xia Guo to eliminate backward production capacity, plus the people in this world are generally stronger, and they have not yet learned to steal and play tricks, and there are many martial artists who contract the foreman to lead the team to work, so as to achieve such efficiency.

Once the second ring road is expanded, the population of Luxi City will inevitably increase again, and this border new city is estimated to become the second largest city in Yunzhou, second only to Zhiming City.

And Wang Hong, as the only controller, will face more pressure.

Even if he himself has grandmaster-level combat power, if he wants to stabilize such a big city, it is not just one or two strong people.

"I heard that this Yungui War, because the battlefield is in the eastern region, the landlord of Baicao Valley has suffered heavy losses."

"When you go to the eastern front, you can try it, maybe you can fool this group of doctors."

"By the way, Canglin County is also in the western part of Yunzhou, not too far from Luxi New Town."

"You can also invite the Li family to establish a branch in Luxi City, anyway, their favorite thing to do is to bet everywhere."
