Chapter 539: Xiangliu
The big river is rolling eastward, and I wonder if the environment has improved after the apocalypse, and the river is much clearer than before.
But Xiang Ningxuan's face was ugly, and he didn't have the feeling of "a big river with wide waves" at all. He looked at the broken bridge in the river and sighed.
Some time ago, after the first autumn harvest after the apocalypse, all the energy of Long Xiangjun and Taichu Group was put into this autumn harvest.
Under the influence of psionic energy, not only people will become stronger, but also plants. Of course, the direction of variation of plants is random, it may strengthen the leaves, it may strengthen the rhizomes, if it is left unchecked, and the food grown is not the food that people want at all, then there is no place to cry.
Scientists and druids from the Shennong Group of the Primal Chaos Laboratory have been working crops in recent months. The main one, of course, is rice as the staple food of the south.
From planting in July to harvesting at the end of October, hundreds of thousands of people were invested and countless difficulties were experienced.
Among other things, more than 2,000 people died in the fields alone. In addition to the attacks of various mutant beasts and mutant plants, the number one killer is all kinds of mutant insects in the water, such as leeches and schistosomes, which are difficult to prevent.
Agriculture is the industry with the highest mortality rate outside of the military.
In October, another wave of mutant rats broke out. Xiang Ningxuan personally led the elite group to dig 30 feet into the ground, killed the rat nest, and killed the mutant rat king and more than 100,000 mutant rats, which quelled the rat infestation.
After overcoming many difficulties, it finally ushered in a bumper harvest day. A total of 500,000 mu of rice has been planted in Hongye District, Jiangcheng District, southwest of Modu and northern Yue Province under the jurisdiction of Xiang Ningxuan, with an average yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, which is worth 500 million yuan of grain at S$1 per kilogram. This grain is enough for more than one million people in Xiangningxuan's jurisdiction to consume for half a year.
The best seeds have been selected and are waiting to be planted the following year. Moreover, the planting area can also be doubled next year. Planting experience and methods can also be improved, and more agricultural machinery will be put into use. Food output should be able to increase several times.
The Shennong group expects to produce enough rice to feed three million people next spring and summer, also because people's appetites have grown after the apocalypse.
With food in his hands, he didn't panic, and after the autumn harvest, Xiang Ningxuan finally had the confidence to launch a large-scale offensive.
Although in the class in Momiji District, it is said that various ethnic groups love each other, but in practice, this is not the case at all.
According to the plan previously formulated, every time the Longxiang army broke a foreign race, it would forcibly recruit troops and enslave civilians. Of course, all these bad things are left to the dark elves, and they are good at this.
Xiang Ningxuan still has to maintain the image of Wei Guangzheng, and the dark elf is a good backstabber.
The slightest organization of the forcibly conscripted alien army is used as cannon fodder to attack the next force. When they are exhausted from fighting new enemies, the main human force will strike again to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
The aliens will be squeezed of the last of their possessions by the dark elves.
When those alien races are almost exploited, Xiang Ningxuan will chop up a few dark elves who have angered the heavens. Fame and real profit are all in hand.
Relying on this method, the Long Xiang army pushed all the way, exterminated or incorporated more than 300 alien tribes of more than 10,000 people, and the front of the army reached the big river.
However, by the river, there was immediate trouble. Several bridges in the lower reaches of the river were all destroyed. I learned from the locals that it was a nine-headed water monster that did this, and its combat effectiveness was terrifying. Not only did it destroy the bridge, but it also caused floods. The settlements on both sides of the river have suffered enough.
According to the analysis of the strength of the hydra domesticated by the dark elves, the seven-headed hydra is equivalent to the pseudo-legendary level. Then, eight heads should be true legendary, and nine heads are above legendary.
Xiang Liu is the minister of the water god in Chinese legends, and his strength is probably above the nine-headed hydra. If such a guy goes ashore, Xiang Ningxuan can still fight if he mobilizes all his main forces. In the water, that's really unprovoked, unprovoked!
Of course, with such a long river, Xiang Liu can't stare at it all, and it is not difficult for a small number of troops to cross the river.
However, there is no way for the main forces. There is no permanent bridge across the river, and the logistics supply cannot keep up at all, how can there be a war?
There was no way, Xiang Ningxuan could only send a report to Sijiu City, saying that the troops could not pass.
Then, he flew directly to Sijiu City. On the one hand, I want to report on my work during this time, and on the other hand, I want to take a long vacation.
Because the news came from Yunnan Province.
At the beginning, Feng Qingru led dozens of volunteers to follow Elder Shi to the Nanzhao Kingdom where Hei Miao was located, and was attacked by Bai Miao's general Gai Luojiao on the way.
According to the plot, Elder Shi will unleash the Red Blood Poison before he dies, completely destroying everyone except Gai Luojiao in Bai Miao.
However, this time, Feng Qingru didn't watch the play, and transformed into a human body snake tail form, preventing Elder Shi from blowing himself up. She went to Bai Miao with Ge Luojiao, and in charge of the position of Bai Miao's high priest, with the help of the volunteers who went with him, she gradually mastered some of Bai Miao's right to speak.
At this time, the conflict between the black and white seedlings is becoming more and more intense, and I am afraid that war will break out soon.
At this time, it was time for Xiang Ning Xuan to come out.
In other words, before that, Xiang Ningxuan had to go to Shushan first to learn a sword flying immortal or something? However, no related tasks appeared. Even if there is, the big stall of the Long Xiang Army is here! He didn't have time to finish it. With his current strength, it is enough to go to Yunnan Province like this.
He was accompanied by Amoris and Chu Jiangyue. Forget about the large army, Yunnan Province is farther than Sijiu City, and the ground transportation has not yet been opened, so the troops cannot be transported at all.
Before going to Yunnan Province, you can also get in touch with the local forces through the relationship of the central government, and it will be more convenient to act at that time.
Yunnan Province is the southwestern border province of the Republic, which belongs to the intersection of the tropics and subtropics, with beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. The ethnic minorities are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the natural and cultural scenes are colorful.
Well, that's the pre-apocalyptic situation.
The current situation, Xiang Ningxuan understood a little from the internal reference.
The southeast coastal area is densely populated, with perfect infrastructure and a sound transportation network. There is not much space left for aliens, so as long as the zombies are dealt with, the human forces can be connected, and then form a situation of encirclement and suppression of aliens.
The Long Xiang army can concentrate its forces and knock out the alien strongholds one by one, and it will soon be able to pacify a large territory.
However, the southwestern border is vast and sparsely populated, surrounded by mountains, and various otherworldly forces are intertwined. The demon clans in the 100,000 mountains are rampant, the primeval forests are expanding wildly, and there are many heterotopic forces such as white seedlings and black seedlings.
After destroying the zombies in the city, people find themselves surrounded by all kinds of monsters, and there is no way to connect them.
Moreover, the scale of cities in Yunnan Province cannot be compared with that of the southeast coast, and after the end of the world, there are not many large settlements of more than 10,000 people. And a 10,000-person settlement, there are more than 1,000 soldiers who can fight, and with such a force, it would be good to be able to hold on to their hometown, and there was no chance of expansion at all.
Of course, the harsh environment also makes many heroes stand out, and the proportion of masters cannot be underestimated. At present, order has basically been restored in Chuncheng, the provincial capital where long-range communications have been restored. At present, while restoring industry and agriculture, troops are being sent to open up communication lines with several other large cities in the province.
