Chapter 0491: A Fortress

In the isolated island of time and space, there were originally several teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, pigsty, stables, fish ponds and other facilities. And when Zhou Qingfeng entered it again this time, he found that Xu Bing had strengthened his original construction. The entire space-time island was about the size of two and a half football fields, and in such an area, Xu Bing actually built a small fortress.

The thick walls pulled up by stone wall techniques are more than five meters high and more than two meters thick. The walls were also strengthened by spells, and turrets were built. A total of six turrets were equipped with special fort guns. Since maneuvering was not taken into account, the barrel mounts of these guns were strengthened. It looks like a big guy weighing at least two tons, with a large caliber and enough power, it should be a new product of the machinery factory.

Since the area is not big or small, Xu Bing simply stuffed things inside this fortress. In addition to the large amount of cargo, there was an entire infantry battalion and a militia pioneer regiment - more than 1,500 people crammed into the building to survive the two days of the flight. In order to reduce consumption, most people maintain their physical strength under the effect of lethargy.

A watchtower more than 20 meters high was also built in the middle of the fortress, which was enough to monitor all movements within a radius of several kilometers. And under the watchtower, the 'dog meat' who was thrown in Tianjin was napping on his stomach, and when he saw Zhou Qingfeng appearing, he hurriedly got up with a 'Wang', wagged his tail and pounced on the owner's trouser legs, denouncing Zhou Qingfeng's sin of throwing it away.

This is the surprise that Xu Bing said!

Zhou Qingfeng was almost scared to death, this space-time island is used well, it is simply an invincible battlefield miracle. When he rushed out of the space-time gate again, Xu Bing said happily: "How is it?" Happy? When Flatfur sent back the letter you wrote, my first thought was to send you a city directly. In order to build this thing in a short period of time, we threw in a lot of resources. ”

Transporting things in and out of the space-time island requires spiritual power, and the transportation of such a fortress is even beyond Zhou Qingfeng's ability. Especially since he is far away from the Central Plains, he can't get the support of the wishes of the prayers, so he has to fight for his usual accumulation, as well as the ......, the concerted efforts of all partners.

No wonder Xu Bing pulled all the masters in the 'Revolutionary Army' over. Only by joining forces can this fortress be replaced with the foundation to the construction site of the new city in Goa chosen by Zhou Qingfeng.

Ah......, Zhou Qingfeng is still crazy. He had painstakingly planned how to slowly build up his base without angering the Portuguese. He originally thought that Xu Bing could use the space-time island to slowly transport people to him, but who knew that Xu Bing would directly transport him a fortress city with all the manpower.

With such a city appearing directly, who is afraid of the Portuguese?

The cannons on the walls are enough to blast the soul of any enemy out of the body.

Zhou Qingfeng was crazy and happy, he threw himself in front of Xu Bing and picked up the other party and spun around. After hugging Xu Bing, he went to hug Wen Ruolan, Zhuo and the two phoenixes. Hug them and cheer non-stop. "You really dare to think and do it, and you immediately got me a city. With it, our efforts to open up India will be twice as successful as a matter of day. ”

Hahaha......

"We have paid a lot of money for this fortress, and we can only mobilize enough people to carry it in the current state of relative peace. There's no way to do this again anytime soon. Our huge investment this time is a completely strategic bet in the hope of achieving an outsized return. ”

Just to build and strengthen the fortress, a large number of sigil artifacts were used, which cost Wen Ruolan a lot of effort, and even spent more than three million silver dollars to purchase items. The spiritual power research department of the 'Revolutionary Army' suddenly became called Hanako, and rats could run in the warehouse.

Xu Bing first led out more than 1,500 people in the fortress, and then Zhou Qingfeng used the 'Fengyun Banner' to unite many masters to link everyone's consciousness to build a large array, and gathered the collective strength to move the entire fortress from the space-time island, and replace a piece of land of the same size into the space-time island. The rich spiritual power that transformed the environment in the space-time island was also consumed.

But when a small fortress appears out of thin air at the mouth of the Mandofi River in Goa, it's worth the effort. It stands tall and strong, firmly in control of the geographical advantage, and its muzzle range is the territory of truth. With its support, Zhou Qingfeng was full of energy, and all his follow-up construction considerations were advanced in an instant.

"Marcelo, go and bring me my belongings in the convent, as well as the slave girls and horses I bought. Jia Gang, you take a transport team to accompany Marcelo to ensure that no one dares to cause trouble along the way. Zhou Qingfeng casually pointed to Marcelo, who had just woken up, and assigned Marcelo to work, and let Jia Gang keep an eye on it.

Poor Father Marcelo had not been long in his soul when he saw a huge fortress suddenly appear in front of him. He was about to faint again, but he saw Jia Gang staring at him with a skeleton appearance, which made him so frightened that he couldn't faint without wanting to faint.

"Santos, you go and contact the old man Muhammad and say that I want to buy all the Arabian horses he has. We will also provide all kinds of goods he wants, and the supply is extremely abundant. By the way, call all the friends you have recruited, we can now provide them with accommodation, and we need their jobs.

Ye Na, you can also take a transport team to accompany little Santos on a trip, and by the way, bring some money to the market to buy food. I know there must have been food in the fort, but it's always better to have more. ”

Zhou Qingfeng also has to rush for time now, because it is impossible for Xu Bing and others to really stay in Goa for too long. The ownership of the space-time island was returned to Zhou Qingfeng again, and she originally said that she was going to take a vacation, and immediately returned to Tianjin with several traversers on a biplane. Before leaving, Zhou Qingfeng promised her that as long as it took two or three months, she could really come to Goa for a good vacation.

The hard-working Flatfur continued to act as a tireless pilot between Goa and Tianjin.

To deal with external affairs, Zhou Qingfeng still has more heavy internal work to deal with. Xu Bing sent him a complete infantry battalion, and the battalion commander who led the team was Wumen, who had been stationed in Lushun. This big guy has been trained many times, and his temperament is much calmer. The glory of this overseas expedition fell on his head.

"Scatter the cavalry out and watch for movement within a five-kilometer radius. Especially in the old city of Goa to the east, where there are tens of thousands of Portuguese, the military strength should be at least one or two thousand. This is a rough map that I have drawn and you can use it as a reference for a more detailed one. Zhou Qingfeng handed over the work of armament to Wumen.

"Yes, Marshal, I promise to keep an eye on those grape people."

"It's Portuguese."

"Why do raisins have teeth?"

", get to work."

After bombing the martial gate, the next step is how to strengthen the defense of the fortress. Xu Bing sent Zhou Qingfeng a circular fortress, and he had to build six edges and corners for this fortress to form a crossfire. This matter fell on the militia pioneer group that came with them, and it was the delicate Wen Ruolan who commanded them.

Without Zhou Qingfeng's orders, Wen Ruolan built the peripheral fortifications according to the prior plan. She herself took a dozen apprentices to pull up one thick fortress wall after another on the ground with stone wall magic talismans, and then strengthened them with magic. The hexagonal city wall with six fortress heavy cannons can play a good fire bombardment effect.

A large number of militiamen were busy cleaning up the perimeter of the fortress. Although this place was burned by Zhou Qingfeng, the ground needs to be compacted with stones, otherwise after a few days of rain, tropical plants will grow from under the ground, and even grow more luxuriant.

The militia also took local materials, cut down trees to build horses, dug wells, and collected fuel, and a series of tasks had to be carried out in three shifts, and nothing could be done in a short period of time.

Regarding the appearance of Zhou Qingfeng's fortress, the Portuguese a few kilometers away did not know at all. Fr. Marcelo was so agitated that he drove back to the monastery with a cross on his chest and prayed for the Lord's guidance. But he could only say a few words silently in his heart, because a terrible shadow was staring at him in the carriage.

Jia Gang has long been accustomed to Zhou Qingfeng's largesse, but this behavior of sending troops across more than 10,000 kilometers to foreign lands still makes him extremely amazed. Even as a ghost cultivator, he had a lot of curiosity in his heart.

Especially when he saw a large number of foreign temples with crosses erected in Goa City, Jia Gang whispered incredulously: "If you can dominate the world with the handsome man and dominate the foreign land, Lao Tzu will definitely leave a name in history in this life, and it is really not in vain." ”

Marcelo's Chinese was actually very ordinary, and he didn't understand Jia Gang's words, but he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you here to destroy Goa?" ”

"Destruction?" Jia Gang directly read Marcelo's divine thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "My handsome family is here to make money, not to destroy anyone." But if there is a ghost cub who doesn't know each other, no, no, no, looking at the posture ......of the handsome, there will definitely be people who don't know each other. Hahaha...... my Lao Jia can't help but want to kill. This is an expansion of territory! ”

Jia Gang's words were directly transmitted to Marcelo's mind through divine thoughts. Marcelo couldn't help but shudder when he heard the cold and terrifying words of this ghost cultivator, but he was full of killing impulses. He couldn't help but wail in his heart: "Didn't you say that the natives of the East are very cowardly and easy to bully? Why are these Chinese not as peaceful as the Indians, who actually like to kill and loot. ”

Marcelo drove the carriage while holding back the urge to urinate. He regretted following Zhou Qingfeng a little, which was not only betraying the faith he had always adhered to, but could even be said to be in the company of the devil. He could even imagine that it was his own cooperation that allowed Zhou Qingfeng to easily mix in Goa and easily destroy this place - without Goa, Portugal's current national strength would be mostly lost.

Marcelo has to do it if he doesn't do it, which is why Zhou Qingfeng arranged for Jia Gang to accompany him. On the other side, Lord Mohammed also felt strange when he saw Santos, who had come to the door. When he looked at the tall Ye Na, he was even more surprised that such a powerful Templaress had followed an Eastern nobleman.

"Your master still wants horses?" Muhammad did not understand, but it did not prevent him from doing business. He immediately agreed to send someone to Zhou Qingfeng's residence to discuss the details. Knowing that Zhou Qingfeng was not in the Marcelo Monastery in the city, but in Panjim, a few kilometers away, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What is your master doing at the mouth of the sea?" ”

"The land at the mouth of the river will henceforth belong to my master." Santos was still a child, very proud of the strength of his master, and he could hold his head high in front of Muhammad. In response to Muhammad's doubts, he even smiled and said, "Master, you only have to take a look for yourself to know that I am not lying." ”

Muhammad was an old, scheming and calculating figure all his life. Half-convinced of Santos's words. He did not go there himself, nor did he sell his precious horse at once. He just sent a butler to check on the situation.

After only about an hour, the butler came running back on a fast horse, threw himself in front of Muhammad and cried, "Master, that Oriental man knows magic, much more powerful than ours!" ”
