From the Black Iron City to the mining area, compared to the last easy pass, this time there are a large number of guards at the door, for everyone who leaves the Black Iron City is very strict checks, many people are left because of the mistakes in the question and answer, I think the government of the Black Iron City is also very worried about the chaos during this time, so it has stepped up the investigation and prevention and control of population movement inside and outside the city.

After leaving the Black Iron City, Shu Han saw that many Black Iron City people who were originally arranged in the countryside were rushing to the Black Iron City again, and there were many people on the road, but Shu Han's team was going backwards, looking at the crowd of people, the feeling of mountain rain coming and full of wind couldn't help but come to his heart.

When he arrived at the mining area, Shu Han immediately contacted Bo Rilang to explain the company's situation to him, and told him his plan, and Bo Rilang went to contact his supervisors, who naturally had their own ideas in their hearts for entering the city, some people thought that it was better to stay in the mining area, while others thought it was better to go to the city.

Shu Han immediately summoned the representatives of the miners and overseers, told them about the company's plan, and said: "Whether you want to stay here or go to the city, I respect you, and the smelter will send weapons later, and I will divide the weapons fifty-fifty, and those who remain here, you must also build up a defense force against a possible attack, and I will take the rest of the people and weapons with me." ”

Under Shu Han's strong execution, it was soon determined that the personnel who would follow Shu Han to Black Iron City would follow Shu Han to Black Iron City, while the remaining 8,000 people would continue to work here, of which 600 would form a defense group to defend.

Before coming to the Black Iron City, Shu Han had also done a round of design, using the unique terrain of the mining area, as long as it was well arranged, it could be in a favorable position in defense, and at the same time, Shu Han took advantage of Zhang Ruoming's relationship to send a few crossbows built for the Black Iron City to the mining area, these big crossbows need three people to be able to launch, the distance can reach about two hundred meters, comparable to trebuchets, but the accuracy is higher.

With these weapons, even if you encounter a feather attack, you can also have a certain countermeasure ability, if you encounter a wild man, these weapons will become a big killer, Shu Han got a total of three from Black Iron City, the cost is not small, but the effect is very large, and after this series of arrangements, Shu Han will take this army of 1,200 people to Black Iron City.

When he was on the road, he happened to meet Zhang Ruoming's secretary, Shu Han was shocked, knowing that the leaders of Black Iron City should have made a decision, so he rode forward and asked, "How is the situation over there, Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Mr. Zhang has set off towards the forward position, and he asked me to tell you that the government of Black Iron City has accepted his proposal and allowed the mining area to form an army to defend the Black Iron City, but the space in Black Iron City is small and cannot accommodate a large army, so the army must be stationed outside the third ring road on the outskirts of Black Iron City."

"Okay, I know, you tell Mr. Zhang for me, thank you for his help." Shu Han nodded and rode back to his team, and Zhang Ruoming's secretary also rode to inform Zhang Ruoming that the army could only be stationed in the suburbs, Shu Han had long expected that it was an army of 1,200 people.

If it is stationed in this city, I am afraid that many of the Zhang family's rivals will have nightmares in their dreams, even if they are only stationed in the suburbs, I am afraid that Zhang Ruoming has racked his brains to achieve it, so Shu Han did not complain about how unfavorable it would be for the army to be stationed in the suburbs, but directly took the army to the suburbs of the suburbs, outside the third ring road, and camped.

Obviously, the myth of Shu Han in the mining area made them absolutely trust Shu Han, the last time Shu Han advanced to the road, they didn't grasp it well, and now they are still just a dormitory director in the mining area, or a supervisor, and now, in their eyes, this is another opportunity, as long as they seize it.

can be like Lin Bida, Chang Ke and others, go straight to the top, enter the developed black iron city from the remote mining area, and even buy a house in it, marry a wife, and live a new life, so their idea of joining the army is the most positive, Shu Han does take good care of them, and almost all arrange them to be his own personal guards, like Iron Hammer, Zhu Ze and others are directly arranged to enter their villas, that is, as bodyguards, but also to protect them.

The large army was stationed outside the city, Shu Han took his own guards, a total of twenty people went to the Black Iron City, a large group of people passed by, raising pieces of dust, many mansions, there are people who are observing Shu Han's team, the original strength of the Black Iron City, now because of the war, it is inevitable to tilt, what will the arrival of this army bring to the Black Iron City, is a question that many people are imagining.

Shu Han didn't think so much at this time, with the twenty guards around him, he immediately came to the government station, although Zhang Ruoming had already greeted the principal here, but such an army entered the Black Iron City, naturally it was necessary to keep in touch with the government here, otherwise there would be a lot of problems, and it would also make some people think that Shu Han had no intention of usurping power in his heart, so he naturally had to ask for instructions early and report late to prove his loyalty.

Coming to the government residence, Shu Han let the rest of the people stand outside, only taking Chang Ke and Zhang Song into the building, for Shu Han, this is also the first time he came to the government residence, compared to other buildings, the government residence looks quite majestic, according to Shu Han's judgment, this should have been the headquarters of one of the four major banks in Hai'an City, the standard Roman column, with a huge gate like a pantheon, which makes people feel a sigh of hope when they see it.

However, Shu Han didn't care about this, for these buildings, he had seen them all before, and he had all entered them, so compared to those newcomers, Shu Han was simply proficient, and at this time, the city lord of Black Iron City had also received the news that Shu Han had entered Black Iron City, and sent his personal secretary to wait for Shu Han at the door of the hall, and Shu Han of this province went to ask again, after the two met, Shu Han maintained his usual affinity and humility, and said:

"Shu Han, a subordinate of the Zhang Group, brought 1,200 miner soldiers to defend the Black Iron City, and this is to ask the city lord." Shu Han put his posture very low, but the beautiful woman in front of him did not dare to underestimate the person in front of him, he was able to achieve such a high position within a large group, and at the same time he was also an adviser to the military department, he couldn't do it without some strength, not to mention that he still had an army of 1,200 people.

In the troubled times, the grass head is the king, whoever has an army is tough, and he can decide the lives of others, although Shu Han shows a harmless appearance of humans and animals, but who knows who is behind the scenes, at least Yang Xiusi does not think that Shu Han is really so simple, he can climb from a slave in the mining area to the current position, it is impossible without some means.

Such a person naturally has to try his best to win over, and when the war comes, he may be able to save his life, so Yang Xiusi said very kindly: "Your Excellency leads the army to defend Black Iron City, we are very grateful, the city lord is waiting for you in the office, please come with me." ”

Shu Han naturally didn't expect that in the eyes of Yang Xiusi, he had become a pig and a tiger, he just thought that the young lady in front of him was a good person, and followed Yang Xiusi upstairs, along the way, many government employees were looking at Shu Han, obviously, they were very curious about the new big man in the Black Iron City, but these people were also very measured, and did not come to disturb Shu Han, but bowed in the distance, and waited for Shu Han to leave, and then raised his head.

The people who can work here are the most clever people in Black Iron City, they know what it means to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they also know better what it means to judge the situation, otherwise they would not be able to pass on this position from generation to generation, and they have long been turned into a dry bone by various unknown reasons.

The office of the lord of the Black Iron City is at the top of the whole building, in a triangular corner tower, which is the tallest building in the entire Black Iron City except for the tall tower, and the headquarters of the Zhang Group, as well as several other buildings, but the height of these buildings is always slightly worse than this building, which is quite a little bit of the meaning of the return of the five mountains and not looking at the mountain.

But if compared with the tower on the side, the tower is the Yellow Mountain, the return of the Yellow Mountain does not look at Yue, the towering giant tower, for the people of this era, it is simply like a miracle, like the government residence such a building, they can barely understand, but the tower, they really can't understand.

Because this era has passed at least three hundred years from modern society, most of the skyscrapers have already collapsed, and the remaining buildings are either built of stone, or those relatively low buildings, such tall towers, which may not be inconspicuous in modern times, but only one or two hundred meters high, but in this world, it is definitely called a pillar of optimus, and even many religions of Black Iron City describe this pillar as the pillar of creation of the Emperor of Heaven.

People with a level of knowledge will naturally not believe this kind of words, but some fools and fools are convinced of this kind of propaganda, Shu Han will often see some people in shabby clothes come to the tower, very pious kowtow, the number of people even reaches 100 people, Shu Han is also dumbfounded, and those priests, Taoist priests are standing aside and constantly collecting money.

Shu Han once asked Zhang Ruoming about this issue, in his eyes, whether these Taoist priests or priests, they are undoubtedly deceiving people, why doesn't Black Iron City eradicate these evil demons? That's how Zhang Ruoming replied to him at that time.

"Because it's good for us." At that time, Shu Han didn't understand this sentence, but now he understands that the tower is the pillar of creation, so the Skywalkers living in the tower are the spokesmen of the gods, which lays the legal foundation for the long-term rule of the great family, and when external enemies want to invade the Black Iron City, these people will not be so easy to betray.

Because these religious people will tell them that only if they are loyal to the owner of the tower, they can go to heaven after death, or go to the western heaven, or become Skywalkers in the next life, and can enjoy a luxurious life, etc., although these ideas are quite false in Shu Han's eyes, but in the eyes of many poor people, this is their last hope, and it is precisely because of the support of these spiritual beliefs that they can continue to live and be loyal to the Black Iron City.

Especially at this moment, the undercurrent in the Black Iron City is surging, and the enemies outside are eyeing each other, if there is no strong faith support, these ordinary people may be difficult to achieve absolute allegiance to the Black Iron City, and there will be a large number of people who choose to take refuge in other forces, especially those wild people, who are of the same species and take refuge in the enemy, as long as they cross the obstacles in their hearts, there will not be any big problem.

And religion forcibly divides the Black Iron City and the wild people into two different people, which is undoubtedly a sad thing for all human beings, but for the rulers of the Black Iron City, this undoubtedly greatly reduces the cost of their rule, these devout religious believers are the spies that the rulers of the Black Iron City have planted in various villages and streets, as long as someone dares to communicate with the wild people outside, these people will report the situation to their religious leaders, these automatic and spontaneous intelligence officers, Saved a lot of money and resources for Black Iron City.

That's the good thing about religion.

Having said that, following the big beauty in front of him to the city lord's office, Shu Han silently recited in his heart what Zhang Ruoming gave him about the genealogy and people of the great families in Black Iron City, which Zhang Ruoming forced himself to memorize, so as not to touch anyone who should not be offended in the future.

Shu Han also knew that in an environment like Black Iron City, if he offended someone who shouldn't be offended, the end would be much worse than in modern times, so after getting this list, Shu Han spent a day writing down all the lists, and with his super memory, he immediately recalled the family history and origin of the city lord at the door.

The city lord behind this door is the contemporary patriarch of the Yang family, who ranks second among the top ten families in Black Iron City, Yang Wang Di, this person is also a Skywalker, very powerful, very difficult to deal with, the Yang family has the longest history in Black Iron City, almost at the same time as the founding history of Black Iron City, it is one of the oldest families in Black Iron City, and the relationship in Black Iron City extends in all directions.

There are a total of forty-seven city lords in Black Iron City, of which the Yang family has served sixteen, accounting for almost one-third of the time, which shows how far the Yang family's influence on Black Iron City has reached.

The city lord of Black Iron City is elected through elections, of course, it is completely different from the modern one-person-one-vote election, in Black Iron City, there are only twenty-one people who have this kind of election vote, and they are the top twenty-one family heads in Black Iron City, they are eligible to vote and be voted, each city director is for five years, and can only serve for two terms at most, for a total of ten years, this Yang Wang Di at the door is the contemporary city lord of Black Iron City, and now he has ruled in Black Iron City for more than seven years.
