In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In the past six months, a well-planned town has been built on Crescent Island, and in order to ensure the cleanliness of the city, he planned the whole city to be like a large military camp, and the four main roads extending from the center of the city divide the whole city into four large districts, of which the soldiers of the navy, land and air force occupy one area, and the other area is dedicated to the slaves who are captured as laborers. At the same time, he also spent a lot of effort to build a huge cistern in the center of the city for people to drink and wash, and the water in it was strictly filtered and disinfected. Of course, important sanitation facilities such as sewerage pipes are also indispensable. At the same time, he also moved the ancient Chinese meal distribution system here.

From these measures, it can be seen that as a modern man, he really still has great grievances about the poor public health situation in ancient times, and once he can take charge of his own affairs, he immediately set about improving it.

Today, in addition to the original more than 1,000 people, there are more than 2,000 slaves that Habak and they have captured from all over the world. When they first arrived, these slaves were still making a lot of noise, but after seeing the power of the little black room, these guys were honest. Of course, in order to give these slaves some hope, Shi Jinshui made a stipulation, as long as they obeyed the management and worked hard, after a year, these slaves could remove their slave status and become legal citizens of New Carthage. Shi Jinshui knew that the citizens added by this method would not have any sense of belonging and loyalty to the faction, but in fact, there was nothing he could do to do it, after all, the new Carthage he created now only had more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and the territory was pitifully small, and the worst thing was that in addition to the soldiers, there was not even half a civilian under his command. And without civilians, there would be no taxes, and without taxes, there would be no way to feed the army, so during this time, Shi Jinshui was actually leading his soldiers to support themselves. If it weren't for the belief in the revival of Carthage, this nascent faction would have broken up long ago. It is simply impossible for such a poor sub-faction to increase the population of the country through normal means, only through which slaves are converted. However, fortunately, they finally survived the most difficult days, and after this period of farming and development, Shi Jinshui and they have basically made their faction break even, and at the same time carried out a drastic reform of the army. First of all, in the army, all the soldiers have been replaced with Shi Jinshui's original coconut shell armor, which is said that when they just changed this kind of armor, most of the soldiers are still very resistant, after all, they are wearing an armor made of coconut shells, no matter how you look at it, it looks very frustrating! But after experimenting with the sturdiness of the composite armor made of leather and coconut shells, the initial resistance of the soldiers vanished. Of course, in the army, the best armor is the two hundred Iberian infantry, after all, the armor equipped with these two hundred Iberian infantry was captured from those Roman soldiers, it is a double layer of heavy armor of chain mail and hard leather armor, in the past half a year, Shi Jinshui has also strengthened the training of these soldiers, so that they can learn the signature skills of Roman legionnaires, tortoiseshell formation and javelin throwing, so these two hundred Iberian infantry, now it can be said that it is a copycat version of Roman legionnaires.

In addition, in terms of weapons, all the soldiers are also equipped with new iron weapons made of 100 steel-making technology, in terms of short weapons, the style of the weapon is designed in accordance with the ring head knife in Chinese history, this kind of war knife shape is simple and capable, it is extremely easy to manufacture, and its performance is also very good. As for the long weapons, Shi Jinshui designed two kinds, one is the hook and sickle designed for the Libyan spearmen, and the other is naturally the phalanx super long spear designed for those barbarian mercenaries, these spears are more than five meters long, the body made of hardwood is extremely tough, and the three-edged armor-piercing spear head made of stainless steel is even more lethal. Originally, Shi Jinshui also wanted to design a cavalry spear for the longshield cavalry, but because he considered that the number of cavalry under his command was not large, and there was no fixed horse farm, it could not be supplemented, so he only equipped all the cavalry with ring-headed knives and crossbows for the time being, and used them as crossbow cavalry.

On the Navy and Air Force, the first new warships and airships were also designed to test performance. On the new warship, Shi Jinshui actually originally planned to use artillery as the main battle weapon, but after trial-producing a few iron cannons, he found that this artillery is really a new weapon that requires high-tech support. In the end, in desperation, Shi Jinshui had no choice but to retreat and equip this new warship with a winch giant crossbow designed by him, which is more than three meters long and wide, and it takes several people to work together to get it when winding, which shows its power. Within a thousand meters, this thing has extremely strong lethality, after igniting the arrow, it is perfect to shoot the enemy's sails, in addition to this kind of winch crossbow, Shi Jinshui also equipped this new warship with high hopes for a large rocket, compared with the giant crossbow, this kind of large rocket that is more than five meters long may not be as accurate, but the lethality is more powerful, after all, each rocket, is filled with dozens of catties of black powder and Shi Jinshui's homemade oil, As long as those wooden battleships are hit by one shot, they will definitely only be reimbursed.

In the last air force, Shi Jinshui designed a kind of earthen bombs as large as diesel barrels, these bombs have iron shells, in addition to black powder and oil, they are also loaded with many sharp iron nails and iron sheets, and if they are thrown into the pile and exploded, the absolute lethality is amazing. Because they can only use human power as power, these airships fly very slowly, and if the flight altitude is lowered too low, the enemy can definitely easily knock them down.

But none of this matters, at least in the current era, only the small kingdom of Shi Jinshui has established the three armies of the navy, land and air. In the development of military science and technology, New Carthage can definitely be said to be at the forefront of the world.

And today, it is a good day for harvesting, and the batch of wheat that Shi Jinshui let those slaves plant has matured and is ready to be harvested. Although Shi Jinshui, a Chinese, still prefers rice to wheat, after eating big fish and meat for several months, he really misses this starch-rich human staple food.

In order to find some bread baked with these wheat flours, on this harvest day, Shi Jinshui, the leader of the faction, also personally rolled up his sleeves and went to the field to participate in the harvest.

"Alas! Sure enough, it's still the best farming stream for me! As long as I am given a few more years of development, labor and management will definitely have the strength to fight back to Carthage and beat the Romans who are not beaten to the ground. After cutting another row of wheat, Shi Jinshui straightened up and said with a sigh.

But God seemed to be going against him, and just as he had finished saying this, Admiral Harbuck suddenly hurried into the vast plantation.

As soon as Shi Jinshui saw the anxious look on the old navy's face, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly said that something was wrong.

Sure enough, after the other party rushed to him quickly, he opened his mouth and said, "My lord!" It's a big deal! ”

"What's wrong? Are the Romans coming? Shi Jinshui put down the sickle in his hand and asked Habak.

"Romans! They can't protect themselves now, how can they have the heart to beat us! Habak's answer was not at all what Shi Jinshui expected.

After hearing the other party's answer, Shi Jinshui was also stunned, how could this Roman be unable to protect himself! This period is obviously the period of the rise of the Romans! If the Romans don't bully others, how can anyone else beat the Romans to the point that they can't defend themselves?

And then Habak's words, but finally let Shi Jinshui understand the whole story, it turned out that in the days of their departure, there was a country called the killing country in the Mediterranean region suddenly rose, it is said that the predecessor of this killing country was the Germanic barbarian faction, this barbarian faction since the new barbarian king took office, began to vigorously conquest of other factions around it, and it took less than two years to sweep away many barbarian factions around it, such as Gaul, Britain, Scythia and Spain. After sweeping away these barbarian factions, the barbarian king cooperated with the Romans and sent troops together to deal with Carthage and Greece and other civilized factions, relying on the help of this killing country, the Romans not only easily destroyed their old rival Carthage, but also defeated the Greek city-state alliance.

But just when the Romans were secretly happy that they had found a good ally, the barbarian king took advantage of the emptiness behind the Romans and directly attacked the city of Rome. Before a large number of the senators in charge of the highest power in Rome had time to recover from the stunned betrayal of their allies, they were dragged to the central square by the barbarian king like a pig and beheaded in front of many Roman citizens. This greatly frightened the Romans, allowing the barbarian king to successfully control the city with a small army, and then led his main army to quickly attack the Roman army, which had become somewhat leaderless due to the killing of the senators.

These news were told to Habak by a group of barbarians who had fled to the nearby sea by sea, and the latest news that these barbarians knew was only a few months ago due to the ancient news competition, and they did not know much about how the barbarian king and the Romans were fighting now, but according to them, a few days before they escaped from the labor camp, there was even a group of obviously Greek slaves who had been taken here, which meant that the barbarian king had probably begun to act against Greece as well.
