And this point, naturally, is what the families need to fight for, they are all people who have lived in the last days for a long time, and naturally know that there is nothing that does not need to be paid, if you want other city-states to abide by their system, you must pay a certain price, let others know that they have the strength to maintain their own system, which must fight with the Holy Alliance, so that the other party can understand that the Black Iron City is not given for nothing.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was a little solidified, after all, the enemy's strength was not weak, and the strength of Black Iron City was very limited, if it weren't for the fact that the families didn't want to lose the power in their hands, maybe the argument of surrender would have already sounded.
Under the discussion of everyone, it was finally decided to form a force with 3,000 people from Wild Feather City and 3,000 people from Black Iron City to go to Yangcheng, and the entire Black Iron City will stay with another 1,000 people to ensure that accidents will not happen, as for the Skywalkers, they all set off except for Yang Wangdi, after the battle of the Feather People and the Battle of the Savages, there are now about twenty-eight Skywalkers left in the Black Iron City, compared to before the war, the loss of seven, it can be said that the loss is huge, but compared with the Feather People and the Savages, they are undoubtedly a complete victory.
But now the wildlings still have five Skywalkers wandering around the Black Iron City, Shu Han sent an army to look for a long time, but in this ten thousand mountains, how difficult it is to find a few people, caves and ravines, cliffs, these places are all unfamiliar places to the Black Iron City people, they don't know where the enemy is hiding, so there has been no news for a while.
And now that the war is about to start, it is naturally impossible for Black Iron City to leave no soldiers, otherwise what if the people of the savage tribe appear at this time, so Yang Wangdi, an old and serious person, must stay, as for Shu Han, he followed Liu Sanyi to the front line, this time the war is not trivial, the enemy's strength is several times that of theirs, Liu Sanyi is not sure alone, only two people think together, maybe they can be foolproof, for this proposal, Shu Han has no opinion, He is now in a situation where he and Black Iron City are both prosperous and lost, and the current war is likely to determine the future positioning of Black Iron City, whether it will continue to exist independently, or become a vassal, or how many ranks in the vassals, this is what Shu Han needs to fight for.
He is not a Skywalker now, as an ordinary person, he needs to think about more problems, and he is more dependent on Black Iron City, leaving this city, he will be more miserable than these Skywalkers, so in this matter, Shu Han has no room to refuse, and at the same time, he hopes that Ye Yu City will recruit about five hundred militia to protect Ye Yu City temporarily, which Liu Sanyi also agrees, compared to attacking Black Body City, attacking Ye Yu City is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
After all, the total population of Yeyu City plus the countryside is almost 16,000 people, and 7,000 of them are savages, accounting for nearly half of the number, which is an extremely dangerous number, as long as the people of the savage tribe take advantage of their absence, and raise their arms here, I am afraid that most of these savages will follow to make trouble, and then Yeyu City is afraid that it will fall in a day, this matter, Liu Sanyi is also very worried, so he approved Shu Han's suggestion, and at the same time let the thousand people in the Black Iron City, Six hundred people were selected to be stationed in Noba Castle to ensure the safety of Noha Castle.
On the other hand, 10,000 people were selected from the Black Iron City as the logistics force, responsible for the general logistics of the troops, this time after all, it was a battle, Yangcheng was about 120 kilometers away from the Black Iron City, which was equivalent to arriving in Jiangsu Province, so far away, they had to think carefully, the transport team could not be as simple as before, and it also needed to be equipped with a certain amount of security forces, these details of the problem, all need to be solved by him and Shu Han, and after the other officers left, Liu Sanyi and Shu Han discussed until the early morning of the next day, and they didn't sleep much.
One after another orders were issued, and the entire Black Iron City system began to operate, everyone was a little panicked about the sudden war mobilization, the war had only ended for less than two months, why did such a large-scale mobilization suddenly take place, this undoubtedly symbolized that something was happening that people didn't know.
And for this, Liu Sanyi didn't want to hide it, and immediately released the news of the Holy Alliance and Yangcheng in the newspaper, this time everyone knew what kind of trouble Black Iron City was about to encounter, for this, the civilians were naturally worried and afraid, they didn't want to fight, the war made them lose too much, but now, the arrival of the Holy Alliance, but they had no way to avoid the war, and at the same time, one after another orders came, as ordinary people, they had no way to disobey the orders from Skywalker, so they were in apprehension and panic, They gradually went towards the destination of the order, and after so many years of transformation in the entire Black Iron City, the inheritance system under the maintenance system, another thing that was established was that the people of the Black Iron City had extremely high basic qualities.
Because when in the nursing home, no matter which child can receive the most basic education, in modern times, that is, compulsory education, of course, this is still fundamentally different from compulsory education, after all, with the passage of time, the cultural break has become more and more obvious, a lot of knowledge has long been no longer circulated in human society, so the nursing home teaches is undoubtedly the most basic knowledge, reading but writing, physics but literacy, chemistry but sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon phosphorus, the back is to memorize, but even the teacher himself, Many people have never seen sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon phosphorus, after all, these raw materials are not produced in this land, and they can only memorize the elements on it, as for what these elements are, some of them know, and some of them don't know at all.
But even so, let everyone in Black Iron City be able to speak and write, so as not to become more than half illiterate, this will create conditions for emergency mobilization, people will soon be arranged according to their respective belongings, the militia brigade of 10,000 people will soon be assembled, and the transfer and transportation of food is also stepping up, at the same time, the large army of Black Iron City is also urgently mobilized, and Shu Han's side is to urgently build two more granaries in Yeyu City to store enough food.
After all, compared to the Black Iron City, Yeyu City is closer to Yangcheng, only about eighty kilometers, and it is relatively more convenient to put food and weapons and equipment here, and it is relatively more convenient to transport them, the longer the transportation distance, the higher the possibility of accidents. Therefore, it is safer and more convenient to resupply in Noba Castle.
At the same time, Shu Han also urgently sent some more people to level the road, an army of 6,000 people, plus 10,000 people to mobilize and move, no smooth road is absolutely impossible, otherwise just shuttling in the deep mountains and old forests is enough for most of the people to be swallowed up by the danger here, so the road must be accelerated. It's easy
At the same time, the main combat power of the family has also been relocated to Yeyu City, at the same time, the gunpowder factory is also working overtime, since the last time Shu Han used gunpowder to directly blow up the wild man out of a big defeat, the use of gunpowder, obviously has become the main topic of Black Iron City, this time to fight with such a powerful enemy, it is not possible to do without gunpowder, relying on cold weapons alone, that is to find death.
Therefore, with the support of Liu Sanyi and the major families, the Black Iron City spared no expense and mobilized a large number of manpower to the gunpowder factory to make gunpowder, I have to say that at this critical moment, the entire Black Iron City can operate with the family as the center, which is also a benefit of the hereditary system, most of these families have been together for nearly a hundred years, and in such a long time, although the hatred has accumulated a lot, they also know the roots, and they also know each other's bottom line, which is why the families of the Black Iron City, at least on the bright side, there has never been a fight.
Because of this, at such a critical moment, they can quickly adjust their manpower ratio to ensure the production of key products, and those who originally produced gold and silver jewelry are now all seconded to produce muskets and cannons, although their technology is very backward in these aspects, but the production is still to be produced, at least it is much better than they can directly take the sword and cut it.
And in this regard, Shu Han's heart is also struggling, in fact, in his hands, there is a design and manufacturing drawing of the flintlock pistol, if it is handed over to Black Iron City, although it cannot be manufactured in a short time, but in a month or two, with the ability of Black Iron City, it can definitely be manufactured, but Shu Han has to hesitate, after all, this kind of drawing, it is impossible to say that he came up with it out of his own imagination, after all, the parts designed in it, not fifty but thirty, how can he think of it by himself.
As for getting it from other places, this is even more impossible, Shu Han has never been out for a while, where can he go to explore and get such a drawing, can Shu Han still be said to have taken it from a wild man? If the wild man really had the ability, he would have already entered the Black Iron City, instead of living a difficult life outside, so if Shu Han handed over this drawing, it would inevitably attract suspicion.
Everything before can also be played with talent and intelligence, after all, it is not a particularly difficult technology, but the thinking angle is different, the result is just that, but the firearm is different, if it is handed over, it will inevitably attract suspicion, so that it will be targeted, at that time, how should I protect myself?
Although he is now the lord of a city, the key is that he is not a Skywalker, in this world, he has no right to speak, let alone control his own life, Shu Han's heart is very afraid, if this drawing is handed over, he will be locked up, and then reviewed, then in this case, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to return to the space where he is in this life.
Shu Han was very worried in his heart, but he couldn't hide this drawing like this, Shu Han couldn't do it, obviously he had better weapons in his hands to make, if he shrunk his hands, it would only cause greater death, and compared to his own suspicion, if Black Iron City was defeated, whether his life and current power could still be kept was a question, and if he lost these, how could he find his way home?
Shu Han had to think about these questions, at the beginning when Zhang Ruoming had not sent back the news, Shu Han was still able to continue to wait, and after Zhang Ruoming brought back the information of the Holy Alliance, Shu Han knew that if it continued like this, then Black Iron City would definitely be defeated, after all, the other party was already equipped with advanced firearms, and his own side was still spinning on cold weapons, and the coverage rate of firearms was less than ten percent, such an army, even if it was elite, how could it fight with the enemy?
It was a completely asymmetrical war, like the Mongol cavalry led by the Mongol cavalry to charge the British army, you can't say that these Mongol armies were not brave, but in the end, under the attack of firearms, the British army collapsed the 10,000-strong army of Mongelin with less than 200 casualties, and at the same time, during World War II, Poland used cuirassiers to attack the German tank phalanx.
You can't say that the Poles are not brave, but in the face of mechanized troops, those dragoons have no ability to block at all, and can only face the only option of defeat, cold weapons against hot weapons, this is impossible, so at this time, Shu Han knew very well that he could no longer sneak in and shrink his head, trying for food and clothing, but directly let himself hand over the drawings, he didn't have the guts, he could only take advantage of the time when everyone was preparing, pull Dati and the two people, and take five cronies to Su Yu's residence, Shu Han entered the house alone, took out this drawing, and then when he came back, Shu Han immediately met with Lin Bida and handed over this drawing to him, and hoped that he would hand over this drawing.
In this regard, Lin Pida's eyes were puzzled and shocked, and the shock was because of this kind of drawing, the entire Black Iron City people were crazy to have it, after all, this meant stronger lethality, whoever can have such a weapon, who can have greater rights in the Black Iron City, the doubt is where Shu Han's drawing came from, and why did he let himself hand it over, this kind of drawing, isn't it that whoever has it will hold it in his hand.
In this regard, Shu Han could only explain with a wry smile, and said: "Lin Bida, everyone has everyone's secrets, just like I will never ask about your secrets, I don't want you to ask me, there is no problem with this drawing, as long as you follow the above steps, you can definitely make a better firearm, and the difficulties and points have clear answers, you just need to hand him in, don't say my name." ”
"However, it should have been your credit." Lin Bida nodded and agreed to keep Shu Han's secret, and he would not ask, the two of them were born and died together for such a long time, compared to the leaders of the Black Iron City, and the safety of the city, Lin Bida was more willing to believe Shu Han.
